Godslayer: A random filename extension?

Lin Linhou: (′- へ -、) Huh? What's wrong?

"Don't worry, it's just a small contract that dragons form when they find a mate. It won't have any major additional effects."

"Just think of this as our dragon clan's version of a marriage contract."

"The main problem is that if no restraints are established, deep down, there's always an unconscious urge to tear you to pieces, Master."

"Hey~ just kidding."

After returning home, Hongyan briefly explained the small contract formation she had just activated, saying that the contract did not have much effect on the mind and was more like a form of identification.

If there's any additional function, it's probably that when encountering fellow beings or other creatures, the other party will subconsciously know upon seeing the beautiful woman that she's already taken...

"Wow, there are so many people at home! Master, are you and Sister Ling playing such elaborate games?"

(￢?￢) ?

After quickly scanning the entire villa and the surrounding area with her divine sense, Hongyan was stunned. Of course, she could guess that these girls of all shapes and sizes were all transformed from the Fifth Star Bell's clone.

Are they already planning to create a matriarchal society right after getting married?

But are you sure you can handle so much, Master?

Lin Linhou: ╮(￣▽￣“)╭ No, do I look like the kind of pervert whose mind is only filled with nightly revelry and daytime debauchery?

"It's just to make the house more lively. After all, the house is so big, it would be too lonely if only the three of us lived there."

[Four people, am I not human?]

"Oh right, four."

……

Another week passed in the blink of an eye, and the lightning tribulation portal in the Cangnan City area opened again.

People walked out of the door one after another.

"Looking up at the sky, I never knew that undergoing tribulation was such a torturous thing. I really never want to see this tribulation gate again. I'd rather be struck by lightning than go through it again."

"Hey, what's wrong with you, Lao Cao? Have you really become a monk?"

Cao Yuan: ...

"It was burned by all sorts of flames and lightning, but it will slowly grow back, I guess."

Cao Yuan touched his bald head, thinking that it should grow back.

"What about Qiye and Jialan? By the way, how many times have you experienced enlightenment in the mortal world during your reincarnation cycles?"

Within the Heavenly Tribulation Space, the Heavenly Tribulation was likely refreshed according to the ancient Great Xia Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation system.

Most importantly, everyone undergoes tribulations based on their potential and foundation, successively experiencing the Body Refining and Strengthening Tribulation, Qi Refining and Spirit Fusion Tribulation, Foundation Building and Mortal Transformation Tribulation, Golden Core and Dao Establishment Tribulation, Nascent Soul and Consciousness Shaping Tribulation, Deity Transformation and Mortal World Tribulation, Divine Division and Heaven-Shaking Tribulation, Body Integration and Dharma Formation Tribulation, Mahayana Return to the End Tribulation... as well as some of the Ascension to Immortality Tribulation. After becoming a True Immortal, it is said that there are still the Celestial Immortal Establishment of Destiny Tribulation, Golden Immortal Dharma Body Tribulation, Taiyi Three Flowers Tribulation, Great Luo Merit Tribulation, and so on...

Fortunately, nowadays everyone only needs to complete the tribulation to ascend to immortality and cultivate the body of a true immortal, which means that the merits of this temporary stage are complete.

Of all the tribulations that preceded this fairyland, the one that took the longest and was the most difficult to overcome was the Tribulation of Transforming into a Divine Being in the Mortal World.

In the secret realm of the mortal world, cultivators lose all their cultivation and even their memories. In a dreamlike realm comparable to real life, they are reincarnated again and again, slowly relying on their instincts to find their true selves.

And after finally regaining all their cultivation, do they feel that they have no regrets in this life, or have seen through the illusions of the mortal world?

If you have any regrets, you can choose to start over. However, after starting over, your instincts might make it easier and faster to complete the game perfectly.

Moreover, in this mortal realm, everyone experiences different instances, and there may be several different versions. Only by experiencing all of them can one be considered to have cleared the realm.

Take An Qingyu for example. He became a beggar, an ancient emperor, a down-on-his-luck scholar, a modern group boss, a child in a well-off family of four, or a father, etc., a total of 16 different identities.

An Qingyu said that he played the game five times before he could barely complete it.

Baili Pangpang: Σ( ° △ °|||)︴You beat the game in five tries?

"I only have 12 dungeons, but the one I cleared the most times took me 18 cycles to finally clear. I felt like I was turning into an old man."

"Amitabha Buddha, I only have 9 dungeons, and I only consider myself to have reached perfection after running them 81 times."

In fact, Cao Yuan only needed 20 tries to complete the game, but he felt there was still something to regret, so he went back and played it again more than 61 times.

"Holy crap, 81 times? Old Cao, do you have some kind of masochistic tendency? Are you trying to make it a total of 81 tribulations?"

After the others emerged, the most discussed topic was their tribulations in the cycle of reincarnation within the mortal realm.

Lin Qiye and Jialan were the last to emerge from the Heavenly Tribulation Gate.

"As the ancients said, life is like a fleeting dream, and the mortal world is like a dream. This time, I have truly experienced it."

Lin Qiye had no idea how many times he had gone through the cycle of secret realms or how many roles he had played. In the end, he couldn't count them anymore, and he had even forgotten them himself.

After all, forgetting may be the greatest gift that the world bestows upon living beings.

Having experienced countless performances, he returns still a child at heart.

Calamity is not calamity, thought is not thought; living in the mortal world, how can one transcend it?

Perhaps, there has never been a true tribulation in the mortal world.

"Let's go, Garan. This time, it's a true awakening from the dream."

"Ah."

Afterwards, Lin Qiye and his companion joined the others, but after chatting for a short while, they realized that something was wrong.

"You mean that each of you is undergoing tribulation in a completely independent space?"

Lin Qiye: ?_? So this Heavenly Tribulation Space is a solo battle instance?

"Otherwise what? Heavenly Tribulation, bro, you don't actually want to team up, do you? Anyone with a shred of common sense knows you can't play this in matchmaking, right?"

Baili Pangpang said that if you team up to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation, wouldn't the power be several times greater?

That's not transcending tribulation, that's courting torture or even death.

Besides, weren't we all separated the moment we stepped into the Heavenly Tribulation Space? It's impossible for us to form a group.

Lin Qiye: (；′⌒`)？

"Is it like this?"

Lin Qiye and Jialan exchanged a glance.

But the two of them have been together since they went in. So they were supposed to undergo their tribulations separately?

Why didn't the Heavenly Tribulation Space automatically separate the two?

"No wonder I always felt that the Heavenly Tribulation for me and Qi Ye was ridiculously difficult. So this Heavenly Tribulation isn't a group dungeon?"

She had assumed that everyone was a couple, and she had even discussed with Lin Qiye before whether it would be okay if someone were to undergo the tribulation alone without any support.

So, are these two the only ones in a special situation now?

Galan can now finally communicate with everyone without any barriers, and speaks Chinese as fluently as her mother tongue.

However, what she said surprised the rest of the team.

"No... really? Then... I'm just curious, Sister Galan, how many levels did you and Lin Qiye fight in the Nascent Soul Mortal Realm?"

The queen ant was a little confused. Compared to the others, she knew more about cultivation.

After all, in a sense, she is the first ant in recent centuries to cultivate into an immortal. Now she is also an immortal ant, and her aptitude is no less than that of those divine beasts.

"We experienced 365 different mortal realms in total. Together, the two of us played more than 1,700 roles, or maybe more than 1,800? Hmm... I can't quite remember."

She had definitely cleared each secret realm more than once, and although she didn't choose to forget everything like Lin Qiye, she really couldn't remember the total number.
