Chapter 350: Heavenly Tribulation and Rebirth

[As the saying goes: A person’s destiny depends on both his personal struggle and the progress of the times…]

[Standing on the cusp of the storm, even if you don’t want to move forward, someone will force you to move forward! 】

[Song Taizu wearing the yellow robe, Tang Taizong Xuanwu Gate Mutiny, are no more than this. 】

[Now it is your turn to receive this treatment. As the focus of the times, you have too many people and things to worry about. Whether you move forward or not affects the future of all living beings and the two worlds, so your choices are sometimes uncertain.]

[You don't want to take risks, and want to lie down in the fishing village. This is obviously not in everyone's interest. Everyone is waiting for a perfect ending. How can you just say you don't want to do it? ]

[Since you can't make up your mind, let others help you make up your mind! ]

[Obviously, the monkey acts as this invisible big hand. Wherever the monkey's big hand reaches, the historical process will move forward...]

【You're not leaving? 】

[Yes, it will help you walk! ]

【You don’t choose? 】

[That’s fine, it will help you choose! ]

【Are you determined to gamble? 】

[No problem, it helps you make up your mind! ]

[Doesn't it value its own life? No, it certainly does, but it cares more about the lives of others than its own.]

[From the moment it was willing to risk its life for the immortality of its monkeys, it was ready to sacrifice itself. It could accept death by drowning, starvation, thirst or being killed by humans.]

[It is the same now. As long as you can succeed, not only its monkeys and descendants will have the opportunity to live forever, but also countless mortals will have the opportunity to live forever. So why not do it? ]

[Therefore, it is impossible for it to accompany you here from the beginning. It is normal for it to lie to you one last time...]

【…】

[You fished out the monkey's body, it had already drowned.]

[You put its body on the fishing boat, without saying a word, just bowed your head quietly in silence...]

[This monkey, who is born with the ability to see through people's hearts, chooses to use his own life to deceive you once, pushing you towards the turning point of fate and history. ]

【And at this turning point in history, you are forced to stop lying flat. 】

【“There are still seven days.”】

【You closed your eyes.】

[You know, as long as you wait until the seventh day after its death, time will be reversed, and the heaven and earth will return to the day when the monkey jumped out of the stone with unimaginable power.]

[And in this process that can be described as the reversal of heaven and earth, everything will be reset, and then you will only face death...]

[You were afraid to kill the monkey in the first place, and now it has committed suicide by jumping into the sea. Regardless of whether you are afraid or not, you must face this devastating disaster this time!]

[“Ten deaths without a chance of survival.”]

[You lowered your head and tried to analyze your chances of survival, but no matter how you analyzed, you would only end up dead, because you were too weak. How could a mere true god possibly resist the great power of the catastrophe that the dream master had set up to destroy the world and reopen it?]

[You look at the dead monkey with a complicated look: "If I had any confidence, you would have died long ago... It is precisely because I have no confidence that I am willing to be trapped here. Don't you understand?"]

[It must have understood, but it did it anyway.]

【"well……"】

[You are forced to do this, and can only sigh and wait for the final disaster in seven days...]

……

For seven consecutive days, Lin Liu's life was filled with silence.

He just did what a fisherman should do over and over again, fishing, drying the nets... He didn't know why he was doing these meaningless things, maybe because he simply wanted to review his skills, or maybe because he wanted to fill his empty life.

After all, once people are busy, they naturally have no time to think about other things. Just like drinking to drown their sorrows, Lin Liu is using fishing to make himself forget those troubles.

But... can I really forget it?
The answer to this question can be found in his absent-minded movements:

How could I forget!
Death is imminent. Not only will I die, but those who have been saved will also die. I will break my oath and abandon them, and in the next life, I will abandon another group of them again...

[In the blink of an eye, it was already seven days later.] [On this day, you sat calmly in the yard, in front of you was the body of the monkey. It had not deteriorated at all in the past seven days, which seemed to indicate that it was born extraordinary...]

【Suddenly, it moved! 】

[In front of you, it dazedly crawled up, and then seemed to sense that you were looking at it, so it also looked at you with empty eyes. ]

[Of course, only for one glance. ]

[Then, it turned into a brilliant golden light and fled to the west, disappearing in an instant! ]

[Its destination is obvious, it is "Lingtai Fangcun Mountain". ]

[This is also the first time you have seen it come back to life. If it goes as you expected, the moment it arrives at "Fang Cun Mountain", Patriarch Bodhi, who has been waiting for it for a long time, will start a new reincarnation with it...]

[You have no interest in looking back at this, because you know that this is all a set program and you can't change anything in it.]

[You just sit quietly in your own courtyard, slowly waiting for the destined moment when heaven and earth will reverse...]

[And as you expected, it came soon! ]

[“Crack!”]

[It sounds like glass breaking. You look up and see a clear crack in the sky.]

【And this is just the beginning! 】

[After the first crack appeared, it was as if some mechanism had been triggered. For a moment, more cracks continued to appear. From the sky to the earth, these terrifying cracks appeared everywhere! ]

[Click! Click! …]

[More cracking sounds were heard. When this burst of cracking sounds stopped, the world in your eyes had turned into a giant porcelain with countless cracks.]

【In the end, the "porcelain" was shattered to the ground! 】

[Countless fragments flew and fell, and after they fell, a gray background was revealed at the place where they were. Then, this infinite darkness and countless fragments fiercely turned into a vortex, and the world was distorted and deformed...]

[At this moment, you who stopped here naturally suffered an indescribable disaster in the first place! ]

[The fragments are hitting you, the whirlpool is twisting you, the darkness is engulfing you...]

[You were severely injured almost instantly, and your tough Dharma body collapsed immediately, leaving only a wandering soul.]

[And when the changes in the world were about to completely wipe out your wandering soul, a flash of red light spontaneously rushed towards you! ]

【It was a small sandbox.】

[The powerful Pangu divine power suddenly activated, protecting the fragile and unconscious wandering soul from any harm. Fragments, whirlpools, gloom... all disappeared under the might of Pangu divine power. In the face of all these tidal impacts, the small sand table remained as solid as a rock, without the slightest shake...]

【…】

[When you regain consciousness, you are surprised to find yourself in a familiar fishing village.]

【“This is… I succeeded in overcoming the tribulation?!”】

[You stare at your wandering soul in disbelief. Even though your strength is extremely weak and probably not much stronger than that of a mortal, it is incredible that you have survived the catastrophe of the world that destroyed it and re-opened it!]

[You look at the small sand table floating above your head again. Its red light is slowly fading. It just survived the catastrophe for you, but now, in order to protect your soul, it chooses to hide its supreme power again...]

[“So, this is how you use it…”]

[You have mixed feelings: It turns out that you really have the ability to advance the plot, but if the monkey hadn't forced you to do it, you would never have discovered this function in your life! ]

[What the monkey said is correct. Passing a level requires bold attempts...]

[However, now is obviously not the time to feel sentimental, because your fragile wandering soul is calling out to you: Find a body quickly! Otherwise, you will really die! ]

[“Flesh body?”]

[In a hurry, you glanced around and soon found your target! ]

[You aimed at an old cripple who had just died, and you just rushed over without thinking twice! ]

[In the 135th year of Dashun, you are reborn! ]
