Lu Sheng slowly opened his eyes, a calmness reflected within them.
"Heart Tribulation... is over!"
Lu Sheng gently spoke.
"So the so-called Heart Tribulation is just questioning one's true heart?"
Recalling everything he experienced in the illusion, Lu Sheng felt an extreme sense of unreality.
"Even without the system panel, I would never give up on becoming stronger."
"This Heart Tribulation... is full of flaws!"
Lu Sheng's eyes slightly lowered, a smile appearing on his lips.
"The Three Tribulations, two of them - Fate and Heart have been overcome, the only one remaining... is the External Tribulation!"
Lu Sheng slowly raised his head, the Heaven-Reaching Vine automatically unfurled, revealing the outside world.
"My External Tribulation..."
As Lu Sheng spoke, he suddenly felt a sense of urgency, looked in a certain direction, and the smile on his face slowly faded, replaced by a solemn expression.
"It's begun already!"
