Although the strategy progress increased, Lin Qianxuan's heart was sinking.

It's off track, absolutely off track!

It shouldn't be like this.

Her mindset had problems.

What did Lu Tao say to her, or what did she experience on this day of cultivating the game character.

If he can't understand these, his strategy absolutely can't be completed smoothly.

He needs to find Lu Tao to understand it.

After a dance, Jiang Mengli came to the game character's side, looking at the game character with complex emotions.

[Jiang Mengli (melancholy): What a pity...]

[Lin Qianxuan (looking at her): Is it a pity that I'm not the Dragon Leader?]

Lin Qianxuan spoke his mind without evasion.

This is absolutely the wrong choice in normal strategies.

But he had no intention of treading carefully.

The older the scar, the heavier it becomes.

To peer through this scar and see into the heart is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

So it's better to tear it apart fiercely, to see directly what lies underneath.

Of course, mainly because this was just one of the simulations, Lin Qianxuan felt he still had another chance.

[Jiang Mengli (looking to the side): Lin Qianxuan, I know you want to save me, but you've already tried your best, some things can't be forced.]

[Lin Qianxuan (seriously): Can't you see me as him?]

[Jiang Mengli (shakes her head slightly): It's different, but I'm grateful to you, at least you're willing to stay and watch me dance.]

One person you love but who isn't truly moved, the other willing to love you out of self-interest.

The choices Jiang Mengli faced, none of them were good options.

Whether the Dragon Leader or Lin Qianxuan, it was the same.

The Dragon Leader harbors great love, not concerning himself with romantic attachments, showing more of a guardian's affection from elder to junior for Jiang Mengli, naturally wouldn't accept her misguided emotions.

Lin Qianxuan's love for Jiang Mengli is narrower, simply lustful, and with a pragmatic desire to save a tragedy with the power of the "String of Destiny", to repay Jiang Mengli's kindness to himself, even embodying greed, anger, and delusion, a complete scoundrel.

But fate is that interesting, right now, she has only this one choice.

[Lin Qianxuan (firmly): I will accompany you, until the last moment.]

Jiang Mengli rarely smiled.

[Jiang Mengli (reaching out to ruffle your hair): Thank you.]

Having said that, spiritual light flashed, restoring her former appearance.

Lin Qianxuan was about to say something, but saw the screen go slightly black.

"Wait, is she trying to run away?"

Seeing this scene, Lin Qianxuan instantly understood what was about to happen.

Jiang Mengli was obviously going to face it alone.

However, Lin Qianxuan couldn't escape this ambush, facing the fully restored Jiang Mengli, even the game character at the Peak of Dao Realm couldn't compete, only possible to have his consciousness restrained by her Divine Power.

[You were pulled into a dream by Jiang Mengli using the Great Dream Divine Power, in the dream, you saved Jiang Mengli, spending a wonderful time with her.]

When the screen's image reappeared, the game character was still in place, but Jiang Mengli was already gone.

Before leaving, she wove a dream for the game character, allowing him to save her in the dream, easing his inner guilt.

"Tap tap tap~!"

Lu Tao slowly walked out from the void.

[Lu Tao (looking at you): She asked me to watch you, to ensure you don't go help.]

Lin Qianxuan frowned, if Lu Tao didn't let him leave, he feared he wouldn't be able to go.

[Lin Qianxuan (Zhi Li): Senior, Sister Jiang is kind to me, I can't just wait here.]

[Lu Tao (laughing): I never said I would stop you, you can go.]

Lin Qianxuan sighed in relief, just about to type to let the game character go help, suddenly as if thought of something, started typing to communicate with Lu Tao.

[Lin Qianxuan (Zhi Li): Senior Lu Tao, I have one thing to ask you.]

[Lu Tao (nodding): Ask away.]

[Lin Qianxuan (confused): I don't know why Sister Jiang's personality seems to have changed a lot after her injuries healed.]

[Lu Tao (looking at you profoundly): You should see for yourself.]

With the voice falling, Lu Tao directly sent a green Profound Light into the game character's body.

In the next moment, frame after frame quickly flashed across the screen.

Lin Qianxuan also saw the truth of the matter.

In the scene, the game character was driven away, Jiang Mengli and Lu Tao were in conversation.

[He didn't leave you anything, but did leave something for the Dragon Bloodline.]

Lu Tao just said this one sentence.

Then Jiang Mengli's mindset exploded, unable to control her expression.

Lin Qianxuan didn't understand, what exactly was the reason?

Just because the Dragon Leader didn't leave her anything?

Just thinking about asking Lu Tao, Lu Tao had already begun to explain.

[Lu Tao (looking into the distance): She thought she held much weight in the Dragon Leader's heart, but actually, the Dragon Leader treated her no different from other friends, and because of her unfit heart, he didn't give her the mission of protecting Earth, and didn't consider her as an inheritor, she was overly wishful thinking.]

Upon hearing this, Lin Qianxuan's expression became clear.

This wasn't about whether or not something was left; this was about completely understanding the Dragon Leader's intentions.

If the Dragon Leader really particularly valued her, perhaps for some other reasons, he would've left her something.

At the very least, even left her a word.

But since the beginning, the Dragon Leader had been firmly rejecting her contributions.

Not watching her painstakingly prepared dance, not letting her join the great battle, later didn't give her the mission to protect Earth, and even left no backup with Lu Tao to make her his inheritor.

If nothing was left at all, that would be one thing.

Instead, he'd left two protective Immortal Artifacts for the Dragon Bloodline.

The Dragon Bloodline is the legacy of will, and she, truly left to her own devices.

The pain of being unnecessary is worse than being criticized!!

Who wouldn't crumble under such circumstances?

Upon realizing this, Lin Qianxuan couldn't help but nod.

No wonder, no wonder the drastic changes, even a sense of self-destruction.

[Lin Qianxuan (Zhi Li): Thank you for informing me, Senior.]

[Lu Tao (pointing a direction for you): It's over there. After you get out, don't rush into battle. Breakthrough first. If you can fully unleash the power of the two Immortal Artifacts on you, you might just barely find a chance of survival.]

[Lin Qianxuan (nodding): I understand, Senior.]

(Heading towards the direction Jiang Mengli left, exiting the Sacred Realm.)

The game screen changes rapidly, the game character's figure darting out of the Sacred Realm after passing through that bamboo forest.

Meanwhile, Lin Qianxuan has already glimpsed the flickering Profound Light on the distant firmament.

The Immortal Monarchs are battling Jiang Mengli.

Perhaps out of face, they haven't all attacked simultaneously yet.

He still has a chance, there is still time.

(Triggering the Tribulation Thunder, breakthrough!!)

Without hesitation, Lin Qianxuan chooses to breakthrough following Lu Tao's guidance.

The game character's aura connects with the world.

Instantly, a pressure-laden consciousness descends.

This feeling is majestic and vast, devoid of any emotion, indifferent to all things in the world.

It is none other than the so-called Heavenly Dao of the Spirit Qi World.

The Heavenly Dao is ruthless, operating solely by fixed rules without any personal biases.

This is the fairest entity in the universe.

It treats ants and Immortals alike.

Thunderclouds form above the Nine Heavens, with infinite energy converging there, its purple arcs flickering.

The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder is poised to strike.

This is the Immortal Tribulation!

"Boom~!"

A thunderbolt descends, striking the game character's body in an instant.

As the thunderbolt falls, it spares nothing and ignores the protection of the Dragon Scale Immortal Armor, directly targeting the character's being, inflicting the most real damage.

Under this thunderbolt, the game character's surroundings crackle with flickering arcs, blood evaporating before it can flow, and the flesh quickly experiences destruction under the Divine Thunder.

The game character mobilizes the Divine Power, rapidly repairing itself, True Flame burning, expelling the Dao injuries left within by the Divine Thunder.

The Divine Thunder is without roots; the injuries are swiftly healed, while some Great Dao information is inscribed on the character's body.

That is their True Flame Great Dao, now firmly etched in their being through the Divine Thunder's branding.

Indeed, it's not just about the physical body.

The body is merely a carrier of information, the Divine Thunder imprints traces at a fundamental level.

It even pierces through time and space.

Not given much respite, the second Divine Thunder is already falling from the sky.

"Boom~!"

The Tribulation Thunder isn't massive, the purple Divine Thunder appears less impactful than a Profound Light visually.

But it's undoubtedly an offensive force from the Great Dao.

It appears so unthreatening purely due to the Heavenly Dao's immense control power.

It can make the Divine Thunder harm only the one undergoing the tribulation, sparing even a single blade of grass.

One can see how extraordinary it is!

The game character's body is mostly obliterated in an instant.

Even at their current cultivation level, such an assault is hard to withstand.

True Flame surges, their body rapidly reforming, dragon scales beginning to grow across their form, the Dao Patterns on them crystal clear, the Dragon Bloodline fully activated.

"Boom~!"

The third thunderbolt strikes, shattering most of the game character's body again, the True Flame in their eyes burning even more fiercely.

The dual aspects of destruction and rebirth manifest so clearly under the Tribulation Thunder.

The old is stripped away, perfect rebirth is achieved.

Their Great Dao becomes ever more complete.

"Boom~!"

Roar~!

The game character roars in fury, their form transforming into a colossal dragon body, pierced through by this thunderbolt.

The scales on their surface shatter piece by piece but swiftly regenerate, their entire form hovering between illusion and reality, leaving deep marks in time and space.

"Boom~!"

With the fifth Tribulation Thunder, their figure remains unmoved, greedily devouring the power of the thunderbolts, the Immortal Body now more than halfway formed, the damage from the Tribulation Thunder much reduced.

For ordinary cultivators, the Immortal Tribulation truly means almost certain death.

But for the game character, this isn't the case.

With many Sounds of Destiny supporting them, they are already extraordinary, the powerful Tribulation Thunder posing no real danger to them.

The first three Tribulation Thunders had posed some threat, injuring them slightly, but as the [Evolutionary Body] adapted, it became easier to manage.

The damage from the Tribulation Thunder grows minimal, and they even use the True Flame to absorb the Tribulation Thunder's energy for self-repair.

In an instant, the game character has passed through eight Tribulation Thunders.

The ninth Divine Thunder is already being nurtured.

But they can't wait, so they soar upwards, the dragon form charging towards the thunderclouds above the Nine Heavens.

The next moment, they are close to the thunderclouds, opening their mouth to devour the cloud.

Endless thunder roils within them, even spilling out, but just that, not harming them significantly, and in an instant they are restored.

At this point, they have truly formed the Great Dao Immortal Body, transforming into a True Immortal.

The grand consciousness of the Heavenly Dao, having confirmed the situation, departs as well, declaring the end of the Celestial Tribulation's test.

"Upgrade complete, time to battle monsters!" Lin Qianxuan exclaimed.
