Melon-Eating Sage's current state was like an enormous file that had downloaded to 99%, with only the final 1% remaining.
But he was stuck on that last 1%, frantic with impatience.
As time ticked by, his lifespan was being drained faster and faster.
Melon-Eating Sage frowned... during this time, he tried using Lifespan Burning, hoping the instantaneous burst from burning his lifespan would give him that last sliver of enlightenment.
But it had no effect. Instead, he lost several thousand years of lifespan in a single second, giving him quite a fright.
Melon-Eating Sage felt he needed help.
He needed someone to give him a push, to offer him a tiny bit of insight.
With just that little bit of insight, he could reach 100% in one go.
But... this was the Tribulation World. No one could help him here.
Here, he couldn't even connect to the merit network to obtain more information.
Am I really going to fall to this tribulation? Melon-Eating Sage was filled with bitter unwillingness.
After waiting for tens of thousands of years, he had finally entered the heavenly tribulation for his eighth-to-ninth ascension. Was he going to fall to its very first stage?
Elsewhere, Song Shuhang opened his eyes. He felt cold sweat on his forehead, and even seemed to feel a faint, bloated ache in his lower abdomen.
What the hell? What was with those heaven-born twin pupils?
Just thinking about quadruplets was terrifying.
Song Shuhang felt he would never want to come into contact with this dreadful spell for the rest of his life.
While Song Shuhang was thinking, he suddenly noticed that his sixth and seventh little golden cores were flashing again, indicating a new message.
