This was exactly the phenomenon Evan Chu had always dreamed of. The old saying goes, 'great fortune is found in great danger'—but for Evan, it wasn't wealth he was after, it was power. Only someone like him would dare to chase strength by gambling everything on such reckless risks.
His whole body felt like it had fallen apart, the pain almost unbearable. Yet Evan didn't utter a single groan—he endured it all with sheer willpower. He understood that now, having landed on Skyflight Terrace, his cultivation had reached the threshold for God-Ascension. That meant his own Heavenly God Tribulation could descend at any moment.
Jade—the Emerald Immortal Empress—had successfully endured her Heavenly God Tribulation. Now she came before Evan, her expression solemn. “Young Master, thank you. If not for you, I never could have survived this tribulation. I will remember this kindness forever.”
Evan glanced at Jade and replied, "Jade, you don't need to be so formal. I'm truly happy you made it through your tribulation. Once you reach the God Realm, make sure to protect yourself. One day, we'll meet again."
“Young Master, how are you right now? You look terrible. Now that you've fallen onto Skyflight Terrace and your cultivation has reached the ascension threshold, your own Heavenly God Tribulation will surely be even more terrifying. How do you plan to face it?” Jade asked anxiously.
“Lin Feng, this is all happening so suddenly. I know there are still many things you haven’t entrusted to us yet. While you have the chance, tell us now—we’ll fulfill your wishes.” Serena Frost said.
At this moment, the elemental spheres inside him were spinning at their limit, and the immense power of Wood-Thunder was being rapidly absorbed. If he had enough time, Evan was confident he could break through Wood-Shift to the second or even third layer—but for now, he could only let it go.
“Yvonne’s right. Master Treasureforge definitely has powerful artifacts, and they’ll be a huge help for passing tribulation. Every extra artifact means an extra layer of safety. No matter what, you all have to get your hands on such treasures—only then will I stop worrying about you. My time is running out, and the God Realm is unimaginably vast. You must hide your true identities when you ascend.” Evan said seriously.
Especially you, Princess Serena Hua—you absolutely must not show your real face in the God Realm. I trust you’re all smart enough to understand. Once you ascend, you might not be able to find me right away, so you have to learn to protect yourselves first.
And Princess Wuyou must also hide her appearance. I don’t want any unnecessary trouble. The God Realm’s power is nothing like the Immortal Realm’s—even a random God Lord could take my life. If I wanted to protect you, I’d be powerless.” Evan said solemnly.
Just then, Evan Chu did something miraculous—he actually stood up. Considering his meridians were all severed and his bones and muscles shattered, the fact that he could stand was nothing short of shocking. It was only possible because the destructive phase of Wood-Thunder had flipped into its life-restoring aspect, allowing his Wood-Shift to rapidly heal his body.
The wood element within him kept surging, shifting from destruction to restoration. Meanwhile, Jade gradually faded away, ascending to the true God Realm. As for her fate from now on, Evan could only wonder—there was no way for him to know.
After Jade ascended, the auspicious clouds above vanished, replaced by new tribulation clouds—this time, for Evan Chu himself. His Heavenly God Tribulation was unlike any other, and the pressure was overwhelming.
Evan's body was recovering at a shocking rate. Disaster had become fortune, and the gains were immense—but the Heavenly God Tribulation he now faced was something he truly wasn't ready for.
Half an hour later, Evan's injuries were almost fully healed. “This tribulation was an accident. I might have to ascend to the God Realm ahead of schedule. Don’t worry too much—all of you. Jade’s tribulation was her second time ascending, so it was much fiercer. I believe your own Heavenly God Tribulations will be much simpler, and you’ll definitely survive them.” Evan said to everyone.
Serena Frost spoke up, her tone grim. “Lin Feng, this is all happening so suddenly. I know there are still many things you haven’t entrusted to us yet. While you have the chance, tell us now—we’ll fulfill your wishes.”
Yvonne Xuan immediately rebuked her, “Roxanne, what are you saying? It sounds like you’re treating Lin Feng’s words as his last will! Right now, Lina is managing Frostbane Imperial Palace, so we don’t need to worry about the sect. What we should focus on is how to survive our own tribulations. Looks like we’ll have to visit Treasureforge Sect and find Master Treasureforge.”
“Yvonne’s right. Master Treasureforge definitely has powerful artifacts, and they’ll be a huge help for passing tribulation. Every extra artifact means an extra layer of safety. No matter what, you all have to get your hands on such treasures—only then will I stop worrying about you. My time is running out, and the God Realm is unimaginably vast. You must hide your true identities when you ascend.” Evan said seriously.
Especially you, Princess Serena Hua—you absolutely must not show your real face in the God Realm. I trust you’re all smart enough to understand. Once you ascend, you might not be able to find me right away, so you have to learn to protect yourselves first.
And Princess Wuyou must also hide her appearance. I don’t want any unnecessary trouble. The God Realm’s power is nothing like the Immortal Realm’s—even a random God Lord could take my life. If I wanted to protect you, I’d be powerless.” Evan said solemnly.
At that moment, new tribulation clouds appeared overhead, their majesty and oppressive force far surpassing those of Jade's earlier tribulation. Roxanne Lin and the others felt as if they were suffocating, but this was not the time to lose consciousness.
Evan glanced at the Black Qilin, then silently took out a God Stone from his storage ring and began absorbing its power. He had to bring the Black Qilin into the storage ring to help him survive the tribulation. As for Goldwing and Shadow, since they had signed soul contracts with him, they could enter his body directly or return after the tribulation.
He remembered what the Black Qilin had warned: if a beast appeared in the God Realm without passing its own Heavenly God Tribulation, the consequences would be dire. In the Immortal Realm, he'd skipped Goldwing and Shadow's Immortal tribulations, but now, at the God level, tribulation was absolutely necessary—or else the results could be disastrous.
“Old Goldwing, Shadow, I’ll be waiting for you in the God Realm. Only by truly passing your Heavenly God Tribulation can you stand by my side and help me there. I hope that one day I’ll see you again.” Evan said.
“Boss, don’t worry. We’ve signed soul contracts—finding you will be easy. You really don’t need to worry about us.” Goldwing said confidently.
“Alright, everyone, leave Skyflight Terrace now. That’s an order. My Heavenly God Tribulation is different from anyone else’s—it can only harm you, not help. Witnessing it will leave a shadow in your hearts; I hope you understand.” Evan said sternly.
By now, Evan had absorbed half the God Stone, and the tribulation clouds overhead were growing denser, covering the sky in a terrifying blanket. “Old Black, you stay. Everyone else, go. I promised I’d bring you to the God Realm, and I’ll keep that promise.”
The others were all reluctant to leave Skyflight Terrace, but they had no choice but to obey Evan’s command. In the end, only the Black Qilin stayed behind.
“Old Black, time is short. I’ll have you enter the Timewheel Bracelet now, and once we reach the God Realm, I’ll let you out!” Evan said seriously...
