Luo Yunshi, along with her parents Luo Ba and Luo Ma, traveled to several more worlds. Her state of mind and strength finally reached the level where ascension was possible.
Luo Yunshi waved goodbye to the Sect Master of the Imperial Beast Sect and his wife, her parents Luo Ba and Luo Ma, and then ascended the Ascension Platform.
A barrier surrounded the Ascension Platform, and tens of thousands of people watched from below, nervously and excitedly witnessing the ascension ceremony that hadn't been seen in centuries.
Luo Yunshi sat cross-legged in the center of the Ascension Platform, surrounded by magical treasures she had accumulated from various worlds over the years to withstand the lightning tribulation.
Since she began cultivating, it had been over two hundred years. Every advancement had been without a lightning tribulation, and in her later stages, she had a vague premonition that the Heavenly Dao would give her a grand "surprise" during her ascension.
Luo Yunshi glanced again at the surrounding treasures, feeling a bit more at ease.
System Xiao Qi saw this and spoke comfortingly in her mind, "Host, don't worry. Even if you fail to ascend, I won't let anything happen to you. At worst, I'll just take your soul to another world, and we'll start over."
Luo Yunshi's expression darkened upon hearing this, but her heart warmed, and she finally felt completely at peace.
Replying to System Xiao Qi with a 'good,' she focused entirely on enduring the tribulation.
The tribulation clouds in the sky grew denser, and an invisible heavenly might enveloped the heavens, casting an extreme darkness upon the land.
*Boom!*
A deafening roar, accompanied by endless lightning, struck down from the tribulation clouds.
Luo Yunshi felt a stinging pain all over her body, her flesh trembling with each strike. She endured the pain, pouring all her concentration into overcoming the tribulation.
*Boom! Boom...*
Wave after wave of heavenly lightning struck down, and Luo Yunshi gritted her teeth and persisted.
The heavenly lightning became more powerful with each wave, fiercer with each descent. Luo Yunshi felt her bones creaking as if she would be shattered into pieces and her soul scattered in the next moment.
*Boom!*
A thick bolt of heavenly lightning struck down from the sky. Luo Yunshi's eyes sharpened, and she quickly extended her right palm. A ball of white spiritual energy gathered in her palm, and she struck upwards to meet the blow.
*Boom!*
"Eighteen bolts of heavenly lightning are done. Huh? Why is there a 19th one?"
Half an hour later, all the defensive magical treasures around Luo Yunshi had been reduced to ashes. Her face was deathly pale, and blood trickled from the corners of her mouth.
Luo Yunshi quickly took out a spiritual pill and consumed it to alleviate the fatigue within her body.
Damn it! What a rip-off. How many more lightning tribulations are there?
Luo Yunshi lamented inwardly.
"Host, hold on. I'll go to the Good Luck All Worlds Exchange Group to find someone for help." System Xiao Qi then transformed into a wisp of light and forcibly entered the exchange group.
A moment later, Luo Yunshi felt her body tremble. Merit and faith energies surged out of her body, helping her to resist the heavenly lightning.
The cultivators watching nearby almost had their jaws drop.
This Immortal Luo not only appeared at her peak but also carried immense merit. She was practically not human!
"The 100th bolt of heavenly lightning!"
"The 101st!"
"The 102nd!"
...
"Heavens, the 108th bolt of tribulation. Oh my god, Immortal Luo succeeded!"
"The first person to survive 108 bolts of ascension tribulation!"
"Immortal Luo is amazing!"
The cultivators watching the ascension cheered excitedly from below.
The dark clouds rapidly dissipated, and ten thousand rays of rosy light appeared in the sky. Luo Yunshi's injuries quickly healed and disappeared, and two auspicious lotus flowers appeared above her head.
"Huh? This doesn't look like ascending to the Immortal Realm. What's going on?"
"Congratulations, Yunshi, on successfully overcoming the tribulation and advancing to become a High God!"
A distant and ancient voice suddenly echoed in her mind, instantly unlocking all of Luo Yunshi's memories.
She blinked her eyes, processed the information, and then gave a big smile to Luo Ba and Luo Ma below. "See you in the Upper Realm."
"Go!"
Luo Ba and Luo Ma's eyes were red, and they waved to her excitedly.
Our daughter has ascended!
A long rainbow suddenly streaked across the horizon, and Luo Yunshi's figure instantly vanished from everyone's sight.
·
"Congratulations, Master, on returning to the God Realm and advancing to become a High God." System Xiao Qi transformed into its true form and flew towards Luo Yunshi, congratulating her joyfully.
Luo Yunshi petted the small beast on her head, which had a single horn and a dog-like body.
"Thank you, Qi Qi, you've worked hard."
Thank you for your constant companionship, thank you for entering the group to ask for help when I was about to give up during the tribulation...
After speaking, her main consciousness entered the avatar that was sitting cross-legged.
The cross-legged body stirred, then slowly opened its eyes.
At this moment, Luo Yunshi was no longer the original Luo Yunshi, but Yun Shi, a High God who controlled a certain law of time.
Yun Shi stood up. "Let's go, Qi Qi. Let's take a walk around the God Realm and see if there have been any changes in the few days I was away, this High God."
"Okay."
One god and one beast flew out of Yun Shi's Divine Palace.
·····
The God Realm was vast and boundless. On the surface, it looked like a sea of clouds, but in reality, it was divided into nine layers, further separated into upper, middle, and lower tiers. Each three layers constituted a rank.
Newly promoted minor gods could move within the first, second, and third layers. Intermediate gods could operate within the sixth layer and below. High Gods could move freely within all nine layers.
The higher the rank of a god, the higher the layers they could access, bringing them closer to the Heavenly Dao and the Heavenly Dao Stone at the very top.
The God Realm was home not only to gods but also to many divine beasts.
There were a few Creation Gods who were born alongside the Heavenly Dao. To better manage the three thousand worlds, these Creation Gods established the Time-Space Administration.
Regardless of their rank, any god or divine beast who wished to descend to the lower realms for trials, tribulations, or to improve themselves could communicate with the Time-Space Administration in the void with their thoughts and then select missions.
Of course, the God Realm was not only populated by gods and divine beasts, but also by many excellent immortals selected from various Immortal Realms who came to work in the God Realm.
When the time was right, even if these immortals who came to the God Realm did not advance to godhood, they still had the opportunity to undertake missions at the Time-Space Administration.
However, there were pros and cons for immortals undertaking missions. The mindset of immortals was not as stable or as profound as that of gods.
Immortals with insufficient mindset were easily lost in worlds without memories while undertaking missions, leading to mistakes, and in severe cases, even risking the loss of their immortal bodies.
Naturally, some immortals with better mindsets rapidly increased their cultivation through missions and advanced to become gods.
Many gods in the God Realm, after completing missions, became interested and started businesses and opened shops on the grounds of their Divine Palaces.
If these shops had fate, they might be chosen by the Heavenly Dao and the Creation Gods, becoming an integral part of the various systems that came with the Time-Space Administration.
As long as someone bound a system and chose her shop, a certain amount of merit gained by that person while undertaking missions in the lower realms would return to the shop owner.
The Apocalypse System that Yun Shi had bound in the past was a system that included her shop, which was why all the merit was hers.
·
Upon arriving at the Good Luck All Worlds Building in the God Realm, many minor gods were selecting shops they favored.
"This supermarket is good. I'll choose the supermarket. It'll be better than nothing in the Savage Era."
"It's a pity your cultivation is not high enough. If you worked a little harder, you could choose another shop."
Just then, Yun Shi happened to see an acquaintance.
"Immortal Luo, no, High God Yun Shi."
Lu Daoyang also saw Luo Yunshi at a glance, his eyes immediately lit up, and he walked forward with a smile, calling out.
"Immortal Lord Lu, long time no see." Luo Yunshi also smiled.
"Yes, long time no see."
