[This Tribulation Crossing, is it determined to put me in a desperate situation?]

[Is this Heavenly Palace determined to put me in a desperate situation?]

At this moment, Wu Wang didn't know what was happening to himself. He should have been fully focused, but his thoughts were incredibly complicated.

He felt a strong hatred towards the Heavenly Palace, and at the same time, he had a constant realization. He quickly realized that this was part of the Tribulation, a Tribulation known as the Heart Devil's Tribulation...

Even the memories that had been sealed in his heart were constantly being stirred up, and scenes appeared before his eyes.

Is this the Heavenly Palace?

This is the Heavenly Palace.

It imposes rules on living beings, but living beings have no influence on it.

The Tribulation clouds seemed to be gathering.

But at this moment, the Tribulation clouds in Wu Wang's eyes were moving as slow as a snail. The gray sky gradually turned pitch black, but it was because he slowly closed his eyes.

In the distance, the cultivators were like ants on a hot pan, constantly asking the Great Elder if he should take action.

The Great Elder's face was filled with anger, his nails almost digging into his palms, but he still stopped those anxious people.

There was once a Transcendent realm cultivator who wanted to help his own grandson cross the Tribulation. He punched and shattered the Elemental Immortal Tribulation, but it resulted in another Transcendent Tribulation, and this Transcendent Tribulation targeted the newly ascended "grandson".

This is the rule of the Heavenly Palace.

The Heavenly Palace did not want to seal off the path for humans to become immortals. The Heavenly Punishment they designed was meant to exterminate Elemental Immortal and Transcendent realm cultivators.

It was only because of the agreement between the human and divine realms that was established by the Flame God when he forcefully attacked the Heavenly Palace with his broken body, forcing the Heavenly Palace to bow down and retreat, that the Tribulation still had a glimmer of hope.

How could the Great Elder not know?

The power of the Transcendent Tribulation and the Elemental Immortal Tribulation had a limit that could not be exceeded.

And today, it was the Sect Master's Elemental Immortal Tribulation!

It was the Sect Master's Elemental Immortal Tribulation!

The Heavenly Palace broke the rules, unscrupulously and without any bottom line, enhancing the strength of the Sect Master's Elemental Immortal Tribulation, intending to erase the Sect Master...

Boom!

The Tribulation clouds were about to gather once again.

The restless crowd was already stunned, nervously looking towards the figure lying on the edge of the charred pit.

When Wu Wang shattered the Tribulation clouds and fell from the sky, he didn't seem to have any injuries.

But at this moment, there were a few cracks appearing on Wu Wang's body, and his body was soaked in blood. He tightly closed his eyes, as if he was sleeping.

Heart Devil?

Was the Young Master trapped by the Heart Devil?

Lin Suqing's heart suddenly collapsed, covering her mouth and nose to prevent herself from crying out loud.

There was a commotion among the crowd, and Lin Qi hurriedly arrived after receiving the news.

At this moment, he looked at the Tribulation clouds hovering in the sky with disbelief, feeling the terrifying power within them that made even ordinary Elemental Immortals feel despair. He saw Wu Wang lying at the edge of the large pit.

"Master..."

Suddenly, the sound of a flute rang out.

Ling Xiaolan had already floated in mid-air, her slender legs together, her long skirt fluttering. There was a slight sweat on her forehead as she tried to send her music to the location of the Tribulation, but her flute sound was easily crushed by the divine might.

Beside the Thunder Pool, the gods were laughing.

Under the Tribulation, living beings were filled with anger and trembling.

Wu Wang, the one crossing the Tribulation, seemed to have experienced a long and distant dream.

Figures appeared in the dream.

They wore masks and long robes, constantly jumping and reciting, then turned into countless ghostly shadows, pressing down his primordial spirit, binding and restraining him, making him unable to move, waiting for the arrival of the final Tribulation.

Wu Wang felt...

As if someone was sneering in his ear, repeating the word "despair" over and over again, trying to completely shatter his state of mind, leaving him with no strength to fight back.

Was this the Heart Devil sent down by the Heavenly Palace?

Did the Heavenly Palace call this destruction of will imposed on living beings despair?

The gods, do they have a shallow understanding of despair...

...

"Volunteer Wu Wang, tell us what you think makes you stronger than others."

"Report! I ranked top three in physical fitness tests, top five in comprehensive tests, second in multi-type spacecraft control, and first in various contact subjects in auxiliary courses!"

"Anything else?"

In a dim auditorium, a row of solemn-looking men and women sat behind a long table, watching a young man sitting on a wooden chair ten meters away.

The one asking the question at the moment was an old man with white hair, his voice gentle.

The sound of ticking instruments came from a corner, and the young man sitting there remained silent for a while before speaking:

"Report, I have no attachments, I don't need to take care of my parents in their old age! If someone must be sent to die now, I want to fight for this opportunity!"

A middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle furrowed his brows into a character "川".

"Young comrade, your thinking is problematic. Why do you want to go and die? This is a great scientific exploration, the most cutting-edge space exploration project in the world right now, it is..."

"Alright, no need to speak falsehoods, right?"

The old man took off his glasses, leaned back in his chair, and let out a long sigh, speaking softly:

"This decision is our last hope. This suspected wormhole is approaching our home, it violates the known laws of physics, has almost no mass, but can affect the curvature of space within a certain range.

According to our calculations, once it passes through the Kirkwood Gap, the Earth's orbit will inevitably be affected.

There is not much we can do now, time is running out, resources are limited, and we have to advance the manned exploration by several big steps...

We are placing our hopes on some absurd and unrealistic fantasies, treating it as a carrier of extraterrestrial civilizations, hoping to make contact with them.

Young man, can you understand all of this? We...""Please rest assured, organization!"

Wu Wang stood straight in his blue and white spacesuit, causing a friction sound.

"I guarantee to complete the mission and fulfill my duty!"

The scene changed.

Several familiar teammates gathered around the bed.

"Good job, Wu Wang! We only got this one chance because of you!"

"Give me a group photo."

"What's the matter? Why do we need a group photo?"

"For the sense of ceremony. Before entering the wormhole, I will kiss your photo. Anyway, the images transmitted back from the spaceship won't be clear, and they won't know who I kissed."

"Get lost! Isn't that disgusting? How about this, you give me a photo, and I'll go in your place! What if I eat your photo directly?"

"Do you really want a photo?"

"Seriously, I'll get you some private photos of the medical support team. Those girls are all stunning!"

"Stop messing around. Aren't we here to support him?"

"Woof woof, I am the chief backup of the plan. You can change your mind anytime before the rocket ignites."

"I fought hard for this opportunity. You all should step aside. I am the top talent here."

Then, the brothers gritted their teeth and pressed him onto the single bed, giving him a beating.

The scene disappeared like a shooting star, and several images quickly flashed by.

There were thrilling dockings of spacecraft in orbit, the long journey in the deep starry sky, the slowly unfolding solar sail, and the gradual progress in the vastness of space.

In the shuttle, his range of movement was very limited. He had to find the joy that would support him through the long journey in this confined space.

In the gaps between several sets of spare system operation panels, there were encouraging words written in different languages:

"Bravery is the pinnacle of human virtue."

But that road was truly long.

The space in the universe was not as narrow as depicted in textbooks, and the planets were like fibers on a dark curtain.

The countdown on the panel felt like the sound of his life ticking away.

Wu Wang knew clearly that when he approached the wormhole, the change in space curvature would be a fatal blow. With the strength of this spaceship and the protection of his suit, he didn't know how long he could hold on.

Maybe a few seconds, at most a few minutes.

Before the spaceship exploded, it would become unrecognizable, and he would be nothing more than a lump of ugly carbon-based mud, torn to pieces at the edge of the wormhole.

This was the predetermined ending.

A long journey through space—from Earth's orbit to Saturn's revolution orbit.

A zero chance of survival—the spaceship did not carry fuel for the return journey.

Wu Wang forced himself to remain calm and reported regularly every few days.

Unknown and confused, he didn't know who to pray to in front of the black curtain of the universe. In order to ensure sufficient fuel acceleration and shorten the exploration period, he could only be alone. After turning off the communication device, he repeated the conversation with himself:

"Are you afraid of death?"

"Yes, but I am more afraid of a meaningless death."

"Are you in despair?"

"I must complete my mission. My life and personal emotions are not important."

We are "pawread.com", find us on google.

It was like sealing himself layer by layer.

Then, he searched for his destination in the dark universe, anticipating the collision with it.

The spaceship with its set course only needed him to wait.

That journey had exhausted all his strength.

The countdown, which kept ticking, seemed like a deep crimson color, jumping in his eyes, again and again.

Countless times, he curled up in the narrow rest cabin, wrapped in tin foil. But his hands holding the liquid food would tremble unintentionally.

He often looked up at the small porthole, waiting for the lifeless Mars, the asteroid belt where nothing collided, and the terrifying storm eye of Jupiter.

And then, he passed them one by one.

Hundreds of emotional breakdowns, hundreds of times sitting back in the cockpit, checking various data, adjusting energy distribution, making daily navigation logs, and maintaining communication with Blue Star.

Now, suddenly, someone asked him in his ear, "Are you in despair? Are you in despair?"

【Have I ever been in despair?】

"Hongyan is about to enter the gravitational range of the wormhole, repeat, Hongyan is about to enter the gravitational range of the wormhole."

At that time, because of the distance, the communication delay had exceeded seventy minutes.

This message received was actually a reminder sent by Blue Star seventy minutes ago.

"Hongyan received, repeat, Hongyan received."

This message would also reach Blue Star seventy minutes later.

Before long, the spaceship began to tremble, the solar sail automatically released, and the hull showed slight distortion.

Wu Wang felt like he was sinking into the deep sea, his body being torn and squeezed, making him refrain from breathing heavily and reducing the movement of his lungs.

"Hongyan estimates that it will not be able to approach the target celestial body, repeat... Hongyan estimates that it will not be able to approach the target celestial body."

There couldn't be an immediate response on the radio.

The purpose of his coming here was to collect information that machines couldn't collect, intuitive and abstract information.

With a slight explosion, fine and dense cracks appeared on the porthole.

"Hongyan's hull has cracks, repeat, Hongyan's hull has cracks."

Speaking had become extremely difficult, as if the blood vessels in his body were constantly bursting, and his retinas were rapidly congesting.There is no gorgeous scene ahead, no gravitational lens effect, only a dark universe and faintly shining stars.

"The Hongyan is accelerating... Repeat, the Hongyan is starting to accelerate..."

Finger wounds appeared, and drops of blood were squeezed out.

Consciousness became blurred, breathing became extremely difficult.

The chair had almost crushed him into a ball, and the space changed from being close to flat to curved, while the spaceship and him were tamed by space.

There seemed to be flickering light in front of him.

He couldn't feel whether he was still holding the handle of the car bell.

"The Hongyan cannot approach the target star... Repeat... The Hongyan cannot approach."

"The pressure is about to reach its limit."

"Hongyan, advance five... May my motherland and the planet... Prosper and flourish."

He felt unconscious, like a dead person.

Until he faintly heard the electronic synthesized female voice broadcasting.

Beep, unknown space detected.

Beep, wormhole collapse detected.

"Collapse?"

As soon as this thought arose, it was followed by a long silence, as if he had reached the end of his previous life.

...

And then;

And then someone is asking him in his ear, "Are you feeling desperate about being wiped out by the Heavenly Palace with divine power?"

Wu Wang suddenly wanted to laugh.

They wanted to press him here, make him give up resistance, give up struggling, and give up his second life.

His primordial spirit suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the eerie ghost shadows in front of him, looking at the remnants of the gods wearing masks!

Ignoring the pulling of those ghost shadows, the primordial spirit slowly stood up, struggling but forcefully.

Feeling the violent spiritual energy converging above his head;

Feeling the heavenly punishment power that is about to destroy his body and soul like withering and decay.

He felt everything that could be felt.

Huh!

Wu Wang's primordial spirit was suddenly enveloped in flames.

Around his lying body, hot fireballs appeared out of thin air, constantly rotating around him, then quickly shrinking and converging into a starry sea.

That is his Dao;

The Dao of the Stellar Origin, which is completely different from the Dao of the Star God!

[I have crossed the stars,

Passed through the long darkness and loneliness,

Experienced the depth and indifference of the universe,

Awed by the insignificance of creatures and the greatness of nature.

But I cannot accept,

You claim to be great and belittle me as insignificant.

My life should not be arbitrarily deprived by so-called divine power.

I was born lonely, but I will not be lonely again.

The stars cast my body, and my heart contains the heavens and the earth.

The Heavenly Palace destroys my divinity, and my will is cut off from divine power!

Heavenly Immortal, Wu Wang, will... not be in vain.]

Buzz—

Wu Wang's body suddenly burst into bright light, and his body, which was originally lying on the edge of the pit, quickly floated.

A shock wave spread from his body!

His figure flipped and stood upright in the air, his eyes filled with silver-white divine light, and more stars gathered under his feet.

In an instant, the stars were brilliant!

His long hair turned silver-white, and the blackened and scabbed body cracked inch by inch.

The sword of the Dao floated around his body, spinning rapidly; the golden dragon armor had long disappeared!

Beside the Thunder Pool in the Heavenly Palace, Deputy Deity of Lifespan frowned, and Junior Deity of Lifespan's eyes were full of surprise.

The small god above the Thunder Pool turned pale, and he suddenly roared and threw his short halberd into the thunder light!

The lightning spots within the calamity cloud flashed, and in an instant, they collapsed on their own, leaving only forty-nine hundred-foot-diameter lightning spots, bursting with boundless thunder!

The thunder gathered and condensed into a purple-red thunder dragon, roaring angrily at Wu Wang!

In this instant!

The universe became turbulent, and the figure of an old man in a straw cloak appeared.

Shen Nong had reached the edge of the Heavenly Tribulation!

In the sky, the starlight that was about to burst with stellar divine power had reached the highest point of its power concentration; Cang Xue stood in the Starry Sky Temple, tightly closing her eyes.

"Ten... Thousand... Stars!"

Wu Wang shouted with all his might, his voice was so majestic!

The Dao trembled because of him, and the heavens and the earth roared for him!

Endless starlight surged and merged into his body, igniting the three-tenths of the divine power of the Evil God that he had absorbed completely while he was asleep!

His newly transformed primordial spirit was engulfed by starlight.

Roar—

The Azure Dragon roared!

The hundred-foot-long golden dragon enveloped Wu Wang's figure!

It had five claws, a fierce face, and its dragon whiskers floated downward. Its raised dragon head was full of anger.

The Thunder Dragon pounced, and the golden dragon swung its body and rushed into the air.

The two dragons collided, and the Thunder Dragon was hit by endless electric light, violently causing the universe to fluctuate, triggering layer after layer of ripples!

This situation was like a Heavenly Immortal fighting to the death;

But its momentum seemed to shatter this world!

The Thunder Dragon was ultimately formed by the condensation of divine power. After a short burst, it lost its momentum. The Golden Dragon shattered the Thunder Dragon's head with one claw, and facing the remaining divine power of the Heavenly Palace, it raised its head and roared, its dragon roar never-ending!

After a while, the Golden Dragon dissipated.

Wu Wang's figure fell from the air, like a falling leaf, swaying and surging.

Hundreds of streams of light flickered, all rushing towards the spot where Wu Wang was falling, big and small hands reaching out, trying to catch his body.

The news of the Golden Dragon's Tribulation Crossing had begun to spread in the Human Realm.

...

"Divine power?"

Deputy Deity of Lifespan murmured softly, staring at the fading phantom above the Thunder Pool, "Why does he have divine power in his body?"

Junior Deity of Lifespan said, "The corpse of the nephew has not been found."

"Are you saying that the Human Realm has learned how to plunder divine power?"

Deputy Deity of Lifespan's voice trembled slightly.

"The human race can use our divine power?"

In the midst of their conversation, he suddenly turned his gaze towards the thunder pool, with divine light flickering in his palm.

Junior Deity of Lifespan frowned and said, "Master Wuwang has already survived the heavenly tribulation, how can you attack him again? This is the divine agreement between His Majesty and the Suiren Clan. Since it's a promise, it should be kept."

Deputy Deity of Lifespan coldly replied, "This person must not be allowed to live. If we don't kill him today, he may become a great threat to the Heavenly Palace in the future! This is completely different from those Transcendents, he can absorb divine power!"

Junior Deity of Lifespan said, "It seems like you are afraid of Master Wuwang?"

Deputy Deity of Lifespan calmly replied, "I just prefer to nip potential problems in the bud."

"If you don't have the ambition to control all spirits, why start such a dispute?"

"Don't say more..."

"Ah."

A soft sigh suddenly drifted out from the thunder pool, interrupting the argument between the two deities by the pool.

The phantom above the thunder pool had unknowingly transformed into an old man.

He was dressed in a straw raincoat, his face calm, his figure semi-transparent. He just stood quietly above the thunder pool, his eyes as tranquil as an ancient well.

The Human Emperor, Shen Nong.

"Heavenly Palace."

Shen Nong slowly uttered two words, a hint of mockery appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Following that, the jade platform at the edge of the thunder pool suddenly showed cracks inch by inch!

Shen Nong slapped his palm forward, and the Deputy Deity of Lifespan's right sleeve billowed, immediately meeting it with a palm!

The Heavenly Palace trembled, and the sea of clouds churned!

The creatures on the ground fell into panic, looking at the suddenly collapsed corner of the Heavenly Palace, feeling the fluctuations of the Dao in the Heavenly Palace.

Burning meteorites appeared in the sky.

In the ruins of that corner, the Deputy Deity of Lifespan stood with his right hand behind his back, his arm trembling continuously, coldly watching the place where Shen Nong's phantom disappeared.

"Repair the thunder pool, don't give the Human Realm a chance to take advantage!"

The Junior Deity of Lifespan, standing quietly not far away, didn't even glance in this direction. Her delicate hand opened, and she had already caught all the 'meteorites' falling towards the ground, pulling them back to this ruined land.

The consciousness sleeping deep within the Heavenly Palace was not awakened.
