Chapter 293

The scene of the battle between Qi Xing and the King of Hell had already been broadcast through the internal network of Heaven.

Hundreds of millions of people in Heaven could all see it.

Along with the foolish past of Samael, the Dark Creator, and the idiot devil, they could all know of it at this moment.

Even with near-omnipotent divine power, her heart was still much like a human's, perhaps even a bit stupider.

Now, what kind of change would this dark Truth, buried deep in history, prompt in people's perception of her?

From the thoughts transmitted by all the living beings in Heaven, there was still much anger, hatred, and contempt directed toward Samael.

But although it was by no means much—there were those who pitied her.

After all, this is Heaven.

Certainty is not everything.

But negation is not everything either.

The torrent of emotion was mixed with both positive and negative intentions.

The light flickered, flowing upstream toward the center of the battlefield.

Therefore, just when Qi Xing's teeth were about to shatter, just when his bones were beginning to crack, just when he was truly at his wit's end—suddenly, something touched him.

Sasa probably felt something too, tilting her head with a dazed expression: "Eh?"

Fortunately, Sasa was just stupid, not truly incompetent. She immediately understood the situation and realized what her older brother had done: "Ahhhhh!"

…Now she had no privacy left in Heaven.

And fortunately, no matter how stupid she was, she knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity her brother was bestowing upon her.

Following this connection, she cried out to all of Heaven: "I'm sorry! Please give me a chance to atone and do better!"

Hmph! What a base repentance! She was merely repenting out of fear of punishment!

But the torrent of mixed emotions still surged toward them.

On one hand, some pitied Sasa.

On the other hand, some hated and despised her.

…But that was enough.

A white light erupted.

The rapidly rising power flowed through Qi Xing's entire body like blood, instantly repelling the light of creation released by the King of Hell!

In an instant, he seemed to see a smile at the corner of the King of Hell's mouth. But the battle was not over yet.

The white light only gave him a moment, a single chance to counterattack.

With his right hand, he grasped the forgiveness of half of Heaven for the past and poured it into the Sasa blade; with his left shoulder, he shouldered the desire of half of Hell for the future and clenched it into a fist.

…In other words, that was a black-and-white circle.

Holding the Taiji, Venerable Leipu gathered all his remaining strength and will, launching the strongest strike in the history of the Sasa Universe toward the Supreme Heaven!

————— Thus, the battle between the strongest ended.

The golden light blasted Qi Xing until he was nearly shattered.

But his blade alone sliced through the body of God, pinning into the abdomen of the King of Hell.

"Heh, hahahahaha…" It was not very surprising; the King of Hell laughed instead, "Congratulations, Qi Xing. You won this tenth move."

Volume 8: People of Freedom and the Free World: 271: Heart of God

The battle was over.

The Supreme Heaven receded once more, leaving this fallen world.

Qi Xing, blasted until covered in wounds, fell, fell, and tumbled back onto the viewing platform at the top of Heaven.

Sasa hurriedly dispelled her Transformation, returned to human form, and took the silver coin to heal him—but how could the power of the silver coin easily repair the power of divine punishment?

The warriors of Heaven gathered around to watch him, as if looking at a fallen hero.

"Father!" Lin looked angrily at her dad.

Even Asuka, held in the right arm of the King of Hell, felt the atmosphere was quite awkward and hurriedly lowered her head to wrap the wound on her husband's abdomen pierced by the divine blade. Precious divine blood was gushing from the wound.

"Daughters always side with outsiders, Lin." The King of Hell shook his head, "The victor deserves a reward; that is an eternal Truth. The kid Qi Xing has already won, what is there for you to worry about?"

After speaking, he put down his wife and the great spear he was holding, and helped the battered Qi Xing up.

"Qi Xing, you came for the silver coin of Power, but that thing has already been destroyed by me."

Indeed, there was already a clear crack on the silver coin of Power, and it had completely lost Sasa's own divine power. Even if Qi Xing and the others took it back, it would be useless.

"If I were to repair it, or forge a new one, it would not be difficult—but that would be too boring."

His voice was calm, yet his words carried an unquestionable power.

"The victor shall be rewarded; you want Power, so I will give it to you."

As soon as the words fell, the King of Hell's left hand fingers came together, and like a scalpel, without the slightest obstruction, precisely split open Qi Xing's already broken chest.

In the astonished gaze of everyone—he grabbed that still stubbornly beating mortal heart, then yanked it outward!

Blood and severed blood vessels were brought out with it. A living heart was just torn out like that!

Now, let alone Sasa, even the usually composed Lin was stunned!

But at the same time, the King of Hell used his right hand to perform a perfectly symmetrical action. He cut open his own chest and pulled out his own heart—the Heart of God—from his sacred body.

The Heart of God burned fiercely in the King of Hell's palm, as if he were holding a miniature sun.

The King of Hell's expression did not fluctuate in the slightest. He simply held his burning, scalding Holy Heart, and in the incredulous gaze of Qi Xing, Sasa, and everyone around, pressed it into the hole in Qi Xing's chest!

In an instant, a loud noise made the entire universe tremble violently.

It took Qi Xing a second to realize that this loud noise was nothing else but the first heartbeat of the Heart of God within his chest.

Because this was a heart larger and heavier than the "world" itself.

The next moment, golden divine fire exploded from that heart, instantly engulfing Qi Xing's internal organs.

His internal organs were instantly burned and vaporized, then recast in the divine fire.

Crack! Crack, crack! His entire skeleton was burned until it fractured by this golden flame! But soon, the fractured bones were wrapped in divine fire and reforged into shape, forging a brand-new skeleton capable of bearing this heart.

His skin cracked, and golden light shot out from every fissure, as if his body was no longer flesh and blood, but a universe about to explode.

His original blood was instantly evaporated, replaced by scalding hot blood, surging and roaring in his "new" blood vessels.

Seven seconds that felt as long as eternity passed just like that. Qi Xing's body was reshaped in extreme pain.

But as the pain gradually faded, and as Qi Xing swayed and stood up again, he could realize more clearly how much his body had changed. The aftermath of the birth of this brand-new body alone was enough to make heaven and earth pale in comparison.

The Heart of God.

This… …This really exceeded what he and Sasa had originally expected.

"…Was it necessary to go this far?" He even couldn't help but ask.

"Purifying yourself and defining yourself is very important." The King of Hell answered calmly, "Kid Qi Xing, you don't need to worry about where your body came from or why you descended into this universe anymore. Just know that this is a trophy you won from me."

After speaking, the heart he was holding in his left hand—the one dug out from Qi Xing's chest—actually began to glow, proliferate, and grow. But before it could fully grow into a human shape, the King of Hell casually waved his hand, sending it flying eastward as a stream of light. …Flying toward the location of the Nie Family.

What is there that God cannot do? He could certainly use his own heart to recast Qi Xing's body, and then turn his original heart back into its original owner and send it back.

Anyway, Qi Xing isn't a Space Marine; what would he need two hearts for?

Seeing through this series of operations by the King of Hell at a glance, Qi Xing felt speechless at this moment. Perhaps this was what could be called a true conclusion.

However, "King of Hell, you took out your own heart to give to me, and turned my original heart back to its original owner to send it back. Are you planning to craft a new heart for yourself now?"

"No, kid Qi Xing." The King of Hell answered nonchalantly, "I no longer need any heart at this moment. Since you have won, I am now leaving this universe and will not return."

He turned his head to look at Sasa and raised an eyebrow. "This point of 'Atheism' belongs to you and Sael. Rule the 'World' that victory has brought you well."

As soon as these words were spoken, not to mention how stunned Sasa was, the surrounding warriors of Heaven were the first to be moved—What? What's going on? What about us?

"Subordinates willing to follow Me are of course welcome." The King of Hell smiled slightly, "As for this floating continent of Heaven, and everything on it, kid, I give it all to you."

His golden, burning single eye swept toward the surrounding warriors; there was no reproach in it, but rather a hint of compassion, "If you wish to stay in this universe to witness its end, to see what Qi Xing and Sael can turn it into, there is no need to struggle with it. For example, Lin, I know you will certainly do so."

It was indeed so, so Lin did not refute her father and honestly nodded.

"When the journey (Tikkun, Completion) ends, we will naturally meet again."

So the King of Hell looked at her… and Sasa, "—This principle applies to you as well, Sael. Since you want to be a Creator, shoulder this responsibility. Until Completion."

Sasa, being specifically named, couldn't help but shrink her head. Undoubtedly, this was a farewell. It was trust once again, and also a responsibility. If she messed it up this time, she would really, ah, really be dead…

"Brother." Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel guilty and asked cautiously,
