Escaping the Tribulation

"Take another step." Lu Yan'an took another step, but it was as if he was still standing still.

Is it over yet?

Lu Yan'an tried for about fifteen minutes and found that he had indeed reached the end, and could not move forward at all.

"Young Lu, you actually managed to reach the top?" The voice of the Lord Shen came from behind him, and just from the tone, one could tell how shocked it was.

"Well, otherwise why would I insist on giving it a try?" Lu Yan'an continued calmly, explaining that reaching this peak was within his expectations. After all, he was the only person in the universe with a inherited Heart Power!

"Heart Power, no! Heart Power!" As if suddenly realizing something, Lu Yan'an began to seriously look around. As he continued to observe carefully, his expression became increasingly grim. Everything around him was very real, and even from the perspective of his six senses, he could not see any problems. But the only difference was that he could not use his Heart Power!

[By the way, the best app for reading aloud right now is Yeguo Reading (yeguoyuedu). Install the latest version.]

Since its inception, Heart Power has always been as at his command as an extension of his own limb. Like the primal Origin Force and Spiritual Force within Lu Yan'an's body, it circulates throughout his entire being. However, Lu Yan'an can no longer sense the existence of Heart Power, and this is precisely the biggest flaw in the illusion!

"I never imagined this illusion could be so realistic! I've learned a lot!" Lu Yan'an murmured. His feelings were somewhat complicated. Faced with an illusion of this magnitude, even he almost succumbed. It was clear how terrifying the trials here were! Fortunately, it was his Heart Power strength that helped him avoid succumbing to its power; otherwise...

Lu Yan'an then sat down cross-legged and began to slowly search for the presence of his Heart Power, while the surrounding environment constantly changed as he remained silent. Gradually, his consciousness seemed to merge into the trial of this illusion...

In a daze, he became a terminally ill patient, spending his days with acupuncture and medicine, young yet stagnant like still water. His life could end at any moment, but his family couldn't bear the enormous expenses of treating him. Finally, after his persuasion, his family gave up treatment and chose to let him return home! In the end, on a winter afternoon, Lu Yan'an passed away in his room. In the room, only a bauhinia flower remained, shining brightly in the warm sun.

In a world without supernatural powers, terminal illness is the most agonizing ordeal! Every diagnosis of a terminal illness corresponds to the shattering of a family, without exception. In the Tribulation of Consciousness, he is not the protagonist, but just an ordinary mortal. There are no triumphant returns or grandstanding triumphs; all he experiences is a journey of living towards death.

Suddenly, Lu Yan'an became an unparalleled swordsman. His sword was the best in the world, and his speed was beyond everyone's imagination.

With his formidable strength, he enjoyed a smooth and uneventful early life, until he fell in love with a woman. For this, he sealed his sword away and vowed never to wield it again. However, a war that swept across the land suddenly broke out, and he and his wife were separated by the fighting. Lu Yan'an began searching for his wife like a madman, wielding his sword, but all he found was a box of ashes.

Driven by a thirst for revenge, he went on a mad quest to assassinate the commanders of both sides in the conflict. In the end, however, he was beheaded.

Lu Yan'an became a physician's apprentice, diligently learning medicine from him and living a very peaceful life. The physician's daughter married him, and his medical skills surpassed his master's, gradually gaining him a reputation in the local area. Although he occasionally encountered some trouble and even faced slander from other physicians, Lu Yan'an's influence in the medical field continued to grow stronger...

Lu Yan'an was a prince.

His only ambition was to dominate the world and make countless people grovel at his feet. All schools of thought and sects in the world would have to submit to him.

Those who refuse to submit, kill!

He began his reign of dominance, using his military might as a foundation to continuously expand his sphere of influence. He first shattered the entire martial arts world, annihilating all schools and sects! His arrogance grew ever more rampant, and his overall strength became increasingly formidable, making him a unique voice in the entire world. Later, he launched a military campaign to unify the world. From then on, the entire world became his possession.

Lifetime after life.

In every life, Lu Yan'an lived a very good life. Even as a demon lord or an evil figure, he was able to become the most invincible demon leader, someone no one could defeat.

Righteous path? Evil path? Mundane? An emperor who unifies the world? A top scorer in the college entrance exam? A cosmic civilization? A low-profile scientist? Or even the Lord of Mist...?

These illusory worlds are like reincarnations, one after another.

The reason these illusions arose was because this powerful illusionary realm naturally generated from Lu Yan'an's memories. After all, Lu Yan'an's memories were incredibly fragmented, encompassing everything from ancient times to the modern era, and even the current technological civilization—all simulated! And precisely because they were naturally generated from Lu Yan'an's Lu Yan'an was more familiar with them and more easily led into them...

That's so true.

Not only are their lives constantly restarting, but they are also imitating their own will and consciousness! If it were an ordinary cosmic powerhouse, their will would have been completely erased, they would have forgotten who they were, and they would have been immersed in the entire illusionary world.

If Lu Yan'an had not received the inheritance of Heart Power, even if he had reached the Great Perfection of mental state, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it.

Now, having undergone trials, his will and consciousness are even more unshakable. With the help of his Heart Power, he has maintained a sliver of clarity. Even though the illusory world is incredibly realistic, filled with love, family, hatred, boundless ambition, and unbridled madness... Lu Yan'an remains detached from it all. He is not swayed. Although he has not yet felt the flow of his Heart Power, it has been secretly and silently aiding him all along...

"Young Lu, haven't you been immersed in this illusion for far too long?" In the distance, the Lord Shen looked at Lu Yan'an, who was still immersed in the illusion with his eyes closed, and muttered to himself with some anxiety.

He couldn't help but worry; the trials in this hellish place were directly aimed at the soul! Other types of trials could be avoided with different methods, but how could he circumvent a trial targeting the soul? He could only endure it! If he could withstand it, everything would be fine. But if he couldn't, there was only one outcome—eternal stagnation in the illusion, a fate worse than death!

"Keep going!" The Lord Shen stared intently at Lu Yan'an's figure, frozen in place atop the peak. Suddenly, a mysterious aura emanated from Lu Yan'an's body, as if something had been born.

Lifetime after life, each time she threw herself into it, experiencing love, hate, and grudges, and each time it ended well, all in an attempt to drag Lu Yan'an into this world and immerse him in it.

However, Lu Yan'an will eventually break free from the constraints of this world.

Tens of thousands of worlds have passed in the blink of an eye.

"Why is there so much suffering in this world? If we were in Buddhism, could we truly escape this sea of suffering?" A young man in white robes asked the old monk of the temple, pointing to the crowds of people outside the temple gate.

Just then--

Boom!

The whole world suddenly trembled.

The young man in white was also taken aback, but then he realized what was happening. He looked around, at the old monk, at the surrounding rocks, and observed the entire world as far as his eyes could see.

"The cycle of reincarnation, life after life, should come to an end," said the young man in white.

Rumble!

The entire world collapsed completely, and the illusionary world disintegrated entirely.

Everything before Lu Yan'an became clear. He was still standing in mid-air, and before him lay the true peak of the Stairs of Sinking! Although the surrounding illusions still radiated power, they could no longer affect Lu Yan'an.

Because a transformation is taking place within Lu Yan'an's sea of consciousness between his brows.

"Boom!

!"

A powerful Heart Power completely interfered with reality.

The intersection of illusion and reality.

It forms a "point," much like the "one" that gave rise to all things after the Big Bang.

This point was born, a grain of sand, a world, boom!

Within this single "point," the world had already Heaven Opening and a new world began to emerge. Unlike the life leap from Domain Lord to World Lord, this was a domain-based world!

This is a world evolved from the Heart Power — the Heart World!

The Sixth Level of Heart Power – The World!
