Upon hearing the Deceit God Whisper from the deepest part of the Light Holy Sanctuary, Ye Qingxue and Sofia's minds were invaded by madness, their expressions becoming one of extreme agony.
Even as Goddess Reincarnators, they could not resist the corrosion of the Deceit God Whisper.
[Why is it the Deceit God again? And... and it's a Deceit God with Light Attribute... How come I never encountered this in my past life?]
Ye Qingxue couldn't understand why a Deceit God would possess a Light attribute superpower.
Sofia was even more baffled.
The Lord of Light, who emitted filth and devoured mortal bodies with the Power of Light, contorting mortal Dead Souls into Resentful Spirits, was about to overturn her faith in the Bright Holy Sect's pure Light God!
[Among the gods holding the Light Holy Power, there are Deceit Gods too... If this gets out... it will absolutely subvert the faith in the Light God of my Bright Holy Sect!]
[Could it be... could it be that the faith in the Light God within the Central Holy Domain is somehow related to this Deceit God? If so... such an evil truth would tear apart the existing fabric of the entire Central Holy Domain!]
The agonizing state of Ye Qingxue and Sofia under the influence of the Deceit God Whisper also caused Lin Tianming's eyes to darken.
He wanted to protect them, but he was helpless to shield them from the Deceit God Whisper that struck directly at their souls' depths.
To prevent them from dying in ever-increasing mental derangement, he could only attempt to expel this Lord of Light.
Thinking this, Lin Tianming took a deep breath.
Just as he intended to proceed to the deepest part of the Light Holy Sanctuary, the sky of the Secret Realm began to tremble violently.
Following that, a force of light that ripped through space permeated from another ethereal world.
"After nurturing you for so long... it's about time to gather my harvest... I need more... more to descend completely!"
Initially, Lin Tianming wanted to delve into the deepest part of the Light Holy Sanctuary, but now that he saw the twisted Power of Light invading through the space, he knew he no longer needed to search.
Because the Deceit God claiming to be the Lord of Light had shown himself!
"How foolish these mortals are... I bestowed upon you the Power of Light... so that you would believe in me and provide me with the Undying Willpower sufficient for my descent, not for you to establish a silly Bright Holy Sect and worship some fake Light God that wouldn't even reach me!"
"My name is the Lord of Light... Lord of Light! Mortal creatures are so ignorant that they can't even remember my name correctly... forcing me to slowly transform Undead Vengeful Spirits by myself here!"
The angry Deceit God Whisper of the Deceit God, the Lord of Light, echoed throughout the entire space of the Secret Realm.
His whisper, which only Lin Tianming could understand, also peeled back the true nature of the Central Holy Domain's faith in the Light God.
The entire Central Holy Domain's faith in the Light God... was it all staged by this evil Lord of Light who devoured mortals using the Power of Light?
Only those people from the Central Holy Domain, who had been long-line fishing by the Lord of Light, were unable to understand the Deceit God Whisper like he did. A misremembered name had let the meticulously planned grand scheme of a millennia-old faith fall through...
Thwarted in his plans, the Lord of Light could only rely on the invasion of the Xiluo Domain by the Holy Cross Army centuries ago to gradually convert Undead Vengeful Spirits, accumulating enough power for his descent.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming began to understand why the Goddess Reborns always said that knowing less was a blessing.
It was precisely because of the ignorance of the Deceit God Whisper that the Lord of Light's initial conspiracy failed to succeed!
Nevertheless, the Lord of Light was still able to transform Undead Vengeful Spirits and bit by bit gather the pure Light Holy Power to nurture himself, waiting for the opportunity to descend.
Under Lin Tianming's observation, the Trialists who had been transformed into Undead Vengeful Spirits by the Light Holy Power emitted even purer Light Holy Power than at first.
The Secret Realm was like a private pasture for the Lord of Light, fattening up the Undead Vengeful Spirits before slaughtering them.
Even though there have been many people from the Central Holy Domain who entered the trials over the centuries, killing numerous Undead Vengeful Spirits.
But not everyone could absorb them completely as Lin Tianming did.
Furthermore, the Holy Power here replenished every year, so the loss brought by the trials could be negligible.
However...
However, the Lord of Light's fattened lambs, nurtured over centuries, had just been devoured clean by him...
Will this affect the final descent of the Lord of Light?
Almost as soon as this thought arose in Lin Tianming's mind, the wrathful Deceit God Whisper of the Lord of Light answered his question.
"How could it be... How could there be so little? How could the Light Holy Power accumulated over hundreds of years be this meager!"
"Who exactly is it? I have been watching this place for decades, there should be an accumulation of hundreds of years! How come it's all gone!"
Pfft!
His guess confirmed, Lin Tianming couldn't help but laugh.
He really did, inadvertently, thwart the Lord of Light's second descent plan that had been brewing for hundreds of years.
The first descent plan of the Lord of Light went belly up due to mortals' stupidity to remember the name.
The second descent plan was again ruined because Lin Tianming absorbed all the Light Holy Power in one fell swoop.
To be fair, this Lord of Light is quite unlucky!
Compared to the Lord of Light, perhaps the Lord of Misfortune would be a more fitting title for this Deceit God.
"A thousand years... Both of my carefully arranged grand plans have failed... How much longer must I endure before I can descend upon this world again?"
"You trialists... will all be buried with me for the failure of my descent!"
"When a God unleashes wrath, heaven and earth tremble!"
As the Lord of Light began to rage due to the lack of sufficient Undying Willpower for the descent, all the trialists transformed into Undead Vengeful Spirits had their souls shattered in an instant.
Transformed into pure Power of Light, it surged towards the spatial rift in the sky.
"That expanse of space must be the Deceit God World mentioned by the Wanling Divine Lady, right?"
Lin Tianming murmured to himself, and immediately urged the power of Spiritual Power Ascension to protect Ye Qingxue and Sofia.
Although he was still unable to free them from the torment of the Deceit God Whisper, at least he could shield them from the bizarre and horrifying invasion of the Power of Light.
"Everyone must die... Everyone must die... It must be because of you foolish mortals that my plans have failed!"
Soon, apart from Lin Tianming and his companions, all other trialists perished under the twisted Power of Light from the Lord of Light.
The true body of the Lord of Light in another world, also took notice of Lin Tianming and his companions through the faint infiltration of this Secret Realm.
In particular, Lin Tianming, who was unaffected by the Deceit God Whisper, drew the most attention from the Lord of Light.
"To think that a mortal could remain unaffected after hearing my whisper, and you seem to understand my whispers as well..."
"Since you understand, upon witnessing a truly magnificent existence, why don't you kneel?"
As the Lord of Light's voice questioning why Lin Tianming wouldn't kneel echoed, the Power of Light imbued with the aura of the Deceit God rolled in like a foggy mist, assaulting Lin Tianming.
Even with the true body of the Lord of Light in another space, his method of tearing through the void to infiltrate this world was even more terrifying than the Master of Ten Thousand Tribulations, who could only utilize the Divine Tribulation.
Had Lin Tianming not absorbed all the Power of Light today, the Lord of Light would have been able to fully descend in his true form.
Currently, the Lord of Light was in a semi-descended state, and the released Deceit God Power far surpassed that of the Master of Ten Thousand Tribulations.
In an instant, Lin Tianming felt as though his entire being plunged into the vast Deceit God Power of the Lord of Light, as insignificant as a speck of dust.
Just as he was about to succumb and kneel, Lin Tianming who did not wish to kneel, exploded with a surge of formidable Spiritual Power Ascension.
That Spiritual Power Ascension exceeded his limits and lifted him into the supreme Mental State of 'Heart Over Matter', associated with the Ascension.
Once in the supreme Mental State of 'Heart Over Matter', Lin Tianming suddenly felt no pressure at all.
"To make me kneel, you... are not yet worthy!"
