Chapter 333: Baptized By Heaven ----- Heavenly Tribulations, a trope within many Cultivation Stories. When a Cultivator must ascend from a mortal to an immortal, usually, this trope appears. The Heavens themselves must give them a trial, or sometimes they want to stop them from ascending. Either way, this is their trial; they must endure the punishment of heaven, Heavenly Thunder, for several attacks at once. More often than not, in these stories, it is always said that most cultivators die before they can fully ascend. And usually, there’s another trope: to ascend, you must let the Heavenly Thunder destroy your body and then reconstruct it. To absorb the energy of Heaven as it attempts to stop you from becoming a god, it is quite amazing and even a bit poetic. There are many types of Tribulations, the most basic is thunder, but they can even come in the form of Heavenly Beasts made of clouds or thunder. And more often than not, the protagonist has to face a unique Tribulation that is more powerful than the rest, mostly due to their own growth and talents. After all, the stronger you are, the harsher is the Heavenly Tribulation, but also the greater the rewards. And right now, I faced perhaps one of those too. A giant dragon made of gold and black thunder; it engulfed me whole. You weren’t supposed to fight them or destroy them, but to let them absorb you and transform your body. It is painful, agonizing, and it can kill you, but this formation here was my saving grace; what would have killed me definitely didn’t. And because of the formation, despite my body being constantly burned, it regenerated just as quickly and was also made incredibly tougher than normal. BOOOM! I gritted my teeth as I felt the dragon’s jaws bite through my body with their thunderous and etheric mass; my skin burned, my flesh was torn apart, and my bones cracked. Yet I was also recovering it all quickly; my mother’s formation was simply incredible! “You can do it, Anna!” she cried. “You can do it! I trust you… Ascend! Ascend, my daughter!” “Don’t you dare disappoint your father!” roared the Heavenly Demon. “You’ve taught me a lot about life, more than I would ever hope to learn from a damn brat, so don’t disappoint me now, Anna! Endure!” “Big sis! You can do it! You can do it!" Song cried. Yes, of course. As long as you’re there for me. As long as you’re cheering for me… Even when my body is being torn to shreds. Even when my soul is being electrocuted and vaporized. And even when my spirit is being burned… I must endure! I will ascend, grow strong, and save your world! This beautiful world, that despite everything it has gone through, has taught me so much. This journey that has completely changed me forever… And the home of my beautiful family and my wonderful new friends… I haven’t forgotten Earth, though; I love it even more! And to save it, I must first save this world. I must first… Ascend! If someone were to hear my thoughts, they would probably think I’m an idiot. To love complete strangers so much after only a few months of meeting them. To love a world I wasn’t even born in, already ruined. Most people would believe I’m a fucking imbecile. That I shouldn’t care about others, nor about other worlds. That I should remain selfish for my own good. But… I simply can’t. I love these things so much, I can’t stop. I can’t bring myself to become selfish like that… no. Everything I’ve done so far, and everything I will do in the future. It’s not for the sake of just growing stronger because it feels nice… No, it’s because I love these people so much… I don’t want them to die against the endless, chaotic, and indescribable events that are to come! This is… really, this is really my resolve. I don’t grow stronger for myself; it is because they’re the means for an end. Unlike my brother in the later half of the novel. And unlike many other selfish wish-fulfillment protagonists I’ve read so many times before, trying to analyze these novels success in their
