"The thickness of this Life Grid Silk Thread, is it actually comparable to Master Gumo’s?"
Confusion flashed through Lu Sheng’s eyes as he followed the direction of the silk thread, only to discover that the end of the thread had already left the Federation’s boundaries and entered... the Three Thousand Worlds.
"This is... the Devouring Realm Empress!!"
When Lu Sheng saw the owner of this thread, his face also revealed a hint of bewilderment.
How come the connection between the Devouring Realm Empress and myself is similar to that of Gumo, second only to Liu Yao??
Also, the most important thing is, I don’t feel that the Empress holds such weight in my heart.
She is far less significant than Gumo and Emperor Bai.
The only explanation... is that I hold significant weight in her heart!
After all, the Life Grid Silk Thread is mutual. When your importance in the other’s heart reaches a certain level, even if you are not particularly fond of the other, the silk thread will thicken.
For a moment, Lu Sheng was completely at a loss.
"Forget it, Emperor Bai already said that the thoughts of Galactic Life Forms are extremely complex. Maybe the other party influenced the silk thread."
Lu Sheng shook his head, daring not to hold too much expectation for these Galactic Life Forms, since they have survived in the Cosmic Void for so many years, with unpredictable temperament.
With this thought, Lu Sheng quickly withdrew his consciousness.
Returning once again to reality.
Lu Sheng slowly opened his eyes, the special aura emanating from his body gradually being suppressed internally by him.
"One of the Three Tribulations at the seventh tier, the Life Tribulation, is now passed."
"Next is the Heart Tribulation!"
Lu Sheng took a deep breath, a hint of anticipation emerging in his eyes.
"I wonder what my Heart Tribulation will be!"
Speaking softly to himself, Lu Sheng closed his eyes again, silently waiting.
It was unclear how much time passed before an invisible force suddenly broke through the Heaven-Reaching Vine’s blockade and directly enveloped Lu Sheng.
As these invisible forces enveloped Lu Sheng, he faintly felt that he had lost consciousness.
"Lu Sheng, come on, the five-link setup is missing you!"
Beside his ear, Zhao Feng’s voice sounded out. Lu Sheng opened his eyes groggily, a blinding sunlight streaming through the window into his eyes.
Lu Sheng instinctively raised his arm, shielding himself from the glaring sunlight, realizing he had somehow returned to the classroom.
A tearing feeling filled Lu Sheng’s mind, yet soon calmed down.
Looking towards the source of the voice, Zhao Feng stood at the classroom door, excitedly waving at him.
"Hurry up, school’s over, why are you still sleeping? After an all-nighter, continue sleeping in the classroom tomorrow!"
Zhao Feng said excitedly.
Lu Sheng rubbed his blurry eyes, recalling the failure of the five-link setup last night, a surge of inexplicable rage rising in his heart.
"Here I come. I swear, today we five will win at least one match!"
Lu Sheng slapped the table and rushed towards Zhao Feng.
The next day, outside a breakfast shop at Yucai High School’s gate.
Lu Sheng, Zhao Feng, and three other classmates sat at different tables, silently eating their breakfast.
Lu Sheng’s eyes were bloodshot, looking at Zhao Feng and the others with a gaze akin to seeing enemies.
This situation lasted until school dismissal the next day, when things finally returned to normal.
"I don’t believe it, losing for three days straight!"
Lu Sheng vented his ambitious words, rallying Zhao Feng and the others for another round of thrilling failure.
Time flew by in a blur.
Spending years immersed in gaming left Lu Sheng with little time for cultivation, instead surrounding him with a life of ease.
After graduating high school, Lu Sheng suddenly realized his life shouldn’t be wasted away .
But ultimately, he could only enter an ordinary vocational university to learn some professional skills, hoping to devote himself to acquiring craftsmanship and practicing Longevity Posture to become a Martial Artist.
Even as a low-ranking Martial Artist, it would significantly elevate his status in Qiming City.
However, upon entering university, the shackles of high school were undone, replaced with the unique laxity of university.
No one cared about your grades, nor whether you were a Transcendent.
After all, in such a regular university, everyone was ordinary.
Soon, Lu Sheng fell in love, embarking on a doomed relationship with a classmate from his specialty.
On the day of the breakup, Lu Sheng cried desperately, only to revert to his easy life the following day.
Later, upon graduating from university, Lu Sheng suddenly realized that his bold declarations upon entering university were like bubbles being popped.
The burst of the bubble left nothing behind.
Lu Sheng muddled through into the company assigned by the school, becoming an ordinary worker.
At this point, the pressures of life quietly settled on Lu Sheng.
After graduation, the Federation’s subsidies disappeared, leaving work as the only means to earn a living wage.
