CHAPTER 42: CHAPTER 42: THUNDER TRIBULATION CHICKENED OUT, TIME GEM

The fact that a single word from Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao could make the Thunder Tribulation obediently retreat quickly shook the entire nation.

Ordinary people used to revere him as a god, but now, even cultivators were kneeling down!

"I want to make a breakthrough, but I have no confidence in overcoming the Thunder Tribulation. I just hope the mighty Xiao Yao can help me through it!"

"Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao above, please bless me to successfully overcome the Thunder Tribulation, I beg you."

"With just one word dispersing the Thunder Tribulation, wouldn’t that mean he could help everyone break through? Please, mighty Xiao Yao!"

"I’ve never pleaded with anyone in my life, but now I only pray the mighty Xiao Yao can allow me to break through."

Many people knelt down immediately, bowing their heads to different directions, praying for protection.

Thunder Tribulation is what they fear; if they failed, their soul would be scattered.

But soon, someone made a breakthrough and found that the Thunder Tribulation did not appear!

The whole sky was still clear and cloudless.

They instantly realized that the Thunder Tribulation dared not come!

Afraid of mighty Xiao Yao, it fled far away.

After figuring this out, everyone hesitated no more, quickly swallowing elixirs and starting to break through.

No matter how many people broke through or what the level was, the Thunder Tribulation did not appear.

At this moment, the whole nation cheered collectively, expressing their gratitude to Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao!

...

"Haha, just so cowardly, huh." Chen Lan shook his head and laughed helplessly.

He didn’t expect that just a word would scare away the Thunder Tribulation, making it dare not come out.

However, this could also be considered a good thing, at least everyone could make breakthroughs in peace now.

After taking one last look at the sky, he left the rooftop.

Although that figure was only a fleeting moment, he wouldn’t be mistaken; there really was someone standing within the Thunder Tribulation.

Who could it be? But being able to stand within the Thunder Tribulation proved they possessed its power.

Who would that be?

With the mystery deepening, Chen Lan became increasingly intrigued.

This gradual exploration of the main storyline, isn’t this how games are supposed to be played?

Just as he returned to the dormitory, Luo Tao was lying on the bed browsing Douyin.

"You’re back, did you receive the elixir?" As soon as he saw Chen Lan enter, Luo Tao immediately came over, rubbing his hands like a fly, looking at Chen Lan.

"I received it, why?" Chen Lan frowned in confusion.

That expression, indicating nothing good.

"Brother Chen, how many Spiritual Qi Pills do you have, can you give me a few?" Luo Tao asked, rubbing his hands.

In the game, he’s only at the Body Refining stage, not having a single Spiritual Qi Pill.

He had just seen many people swallowing Spiritual Qi Pills on Douyin, and their levels just skyrocketed, plus there’s no Thunder Tribulation now, so he wants to break through quickly.

"How many do you need?" Chen Lan casually asked, then used his Divine Sense to look at the second Storage Ring on his hand.

That was the Storage Ring given to him after the elixirs materialized, with a very spacious interior, but most magnificently,

elixirs piled up like mountains!

Inside were mountain upon mountain, all of elixirs.

At that time, he was puzzled, he clearly had an elixir cap of 999 in the game, so why is there so much after materialization?

But soon, more memories and knowledge filled his mind, revealing that materialization was the transference of all elixirs obtained in the game.

Those elixirs that exceeded the limit and weren’t counted likewise materialized.

Elixirs in the game were the easiest to acquire, especially those below the third grade, like Body Refining Pill and Spiritual Qi Pill, they would almost explode from killing monsters.

After all, it’s a game, where slaying monsters results in treasure, it’s reasonable.

Moreover, in the game, alchemy involves gathering materials, and the system helps with the refining, with success rates that can be increased by some items.

He would always have a 100% success rate with each alchemy session, refining seven or eight pills, or more than ten at a time.

Hence, this is why there are so many elixirs.

"Uh...I don’t want that many, can you give me ten, do you have them?" Luo Tao thought for two minutes and hesitantly asked.

"Just ten?" Chen Lan said speechlessly, this is looking down on who? I’m the Supreme Great Emperor after all.

With a casual wave, Chen Lan made ten or so pill bottles appear on the ground, each bottle containing ten Spiritual Qi Pills.

"Here are over a hundred Spiritual Qi Pills, take them and use them, come to me if you need more, daddy will take care of you later."

Looking at the ten or so bottles of elixirs on the ground, Luo Tao’s eyes widened in amazement.

But the next second, he knelt down violently, hugged Chen Lan’s leg, and cried out loudly: "Brother, no, foster father, from now on you are my foster father, please accept my bow!"

"Go away, get lost." Chen Lan brushed off his leg disdainfully, and then took out a few more bottles of elixirs: "These here are Bone Marrow Cleansing Pills and Body Refining Pills, take them back for Uncle and Aunt to use, they can quickly enter the Body Refining period."

"Okay, dear foster father."

"Get out of here, who wants such an ugly son when I am so handsome."

"Yo, is this getting cheeky?"

"Why not? Should I take back the elixirs then?"

"No, foster father, you sure have a sense of humor, earlier it was my mistake to speak so rashly, I will immediately go and deliver the elixirs to foster father’s brothers."

"..."

Chen Lan was speechless, never had he seen someone so shameless.

As Luo Tao left, he shook his head.

...

Superpower Empire.

In a certain white palace-like building, there were five people sitting in the conference hall!

Among them, the middle-aged blond man sitting in the main seat was the Sovereign of the Superpower Empire, Norbert Orlando.

The two elders sitting on his left and right were Imperial Generals, possessing supreme military power.

The remaining two were merely heads of certain departments.

"Today, as items have materialized into reality, our overall strength has doubled, does anyone have anything to say?" Norbert Orlando scanned the other four and spoke lightly.

"The items indeed have materialized, but those people, we haven’t found them yet, right? The top five on the item list are crucial." The elder on the left said.

"We’ve found them," Norbert Orlando said with a faint smile, clapping his hands.

Suddenly, the doors of the conference hall opened, and five people, both men and women, walked in.

"Please introduce yourselves." The Superpower Sovereign smiled.

"I am the owner of the Time Gem, ranked first as a Time Traveler, this is the codename I gave myself."

Upon hearing this, the red-haired man walking at the front spoke to introduce himself.

Time Gem!

Sourced from the game [Superpower Alliance], it is a very powerful gem, capable of altering time and reversing the future, with infinite possibilities!

"Time Gem?!"

Upon hearing the name of this gem, the four people sitting there all looked shocked.

This is considered one of the strongest gems in the game, with powers to change time, and foresee the future, an absolutely terrifying skill.

With such powerful abilities in their country, it would be like adding wings to a tiger!

"Time’s power, as we all know, can reverse the future, change many things, with this in place, our future plans are foolproof!"
