The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator - Chapter 362 - 165: Mirror Flood Dragon, Death and Life (Part 3)
The tribulation lightning is set by individuals, but some experiences can still be effective.
Qin Jin watched the scene, not speaking.
This is the battlefield for these Federation heroes.
He wouldn’t steal the spotlight.
After some words were exchanged.
Someone volunteered.
“I’ll go first.”
This was one of the people who wanted to go before Gao Xingwen earlier, his face relatively younger than Gao Xingwen’s before the tribulation, but his hair was all white.
Such a person is not yet at the true end of his lifespan, but because of certain injuries, his life’s essence is affected, reducing his lifespan significantly.
Those who came here were well-informed, prepared, and did not delay.
Soon, the second person entered the center of the Tribulation Crossing Land.
This time…
The isolated area was silent, with no cheers.
After withstanding the seventh tribulation lightning, they couldn’t withstand the increasingly fierce eighth one. The thunder fell, their body like smoke, falling in this world.
Those who came first were definitely not simple individuals.
But the reduction of life essence and the burden of age meant they couldn’t all succeed.
After his fall.
From the distance, among the elders, without communication, someone stepped forward, heading to the center to continue the tribulation.
Isn’t this a form of successive sacrifice?
Qin Jin watched all of this, though seeing it for the first time today, he couldn’t help but fall silent, emotions stirring.
Beside him.
Was Gao Xingwen.
His expression was calm, showing no signs of grief, perhaps accustomed to it, or perhaps hiding it in his heart. He gazed intently at everything within the Tribulation Crossing Land, and his voice sounded.
“Don’t feel sadness for him, or even them.”
Qin Jin looked at him.
“The method of prolonging life, the effect of extending lifespan.”
“If everything here were known, it would drive countless lives to madness, even if fraught with danger, they’d flock to it.”
“After all, when there’s even a one percent chance of success, everything is different.”
“The Federation chose to give us this opportunity first.”
Gao Xingwen turned, looking at Qin Jin: “When the news came from the Military Department, they had already explained everything. We are aware of the dangers here. Since choosing to come, there’s no regret.”
“If ever there was regret.”
“We probably wouldn’t have been the ones to come here first.”
“If we didn’t come here, before long, we’d only be a handful of yellow earth. So why feel sorrow?”
Qin Jin nodded.
He didn’t speak because, at this moment, he truly didn’t know what to say.
Within the Tribulation Crossing Land, the thunder continued.
Federation heroes went to the center one by one.
Their cultivation levels differed, attracting different levels of thunder power, but to the elderly among them, they all were considered dangerous.
Some failed, bodies shattered under the thunder power.
Some succeeded, lifespan extended, essential life replenished, they regained youth, the old state vanished.
For Qin Jin, success in crossing the tribulation merely added to an already abundant lifespan, but for them, success was like a New Life!
Regardless.
Even if today could’ve been the end of their lives, they fulfilled one last brilliance.
As time passed…
With the last one’s tribulation completed, the Tribulation Crossing Land fell silent.
Upon arrival, among a group close to a hundred, nearly half the faces were now gone.
Entered the tribulation, died in the tribulation, never seen alive again.
Gao Xingwen stood at the front of the line, looking at the decreasingly white-haired figures in the group, exhaling deeply, his voice echoing.
“We have lived and died together.”
“Since we survived, truly gained this colossal opportunity, then… moving forward, we must live more splendidly, live as if for those ’comrades’ too!”
As his voice ended.
A resounding response echoed from the front.
Qin Jin stood behind Gao Xingwen.
At that moment, after the response died down, he softly spoke: “Elder Gao.”
Gao Xingwen turned back.
In Qin Jin’s hand, the [Tribulation Decree] reappeared.
With the urging of his spirit, spatial passages emerged in the central area, boxes of gathered energy appeared, seeming tangible, moving close.
Qin Jin’s voice deepened: “These are the last traces of other seniors in this world.”
He didn’t elaborate, but his meaning was clear.
Gao Xingwen looked at those boxes, glanced at Qin Jin, and said solemnly: “You have a good heart.”
“Not seeking credit.”
Qin Jin shook his head: “This Tribulation Crossing Land, long created, was set up by the Gui Xu Martial God of the Federation along with Lord Star God.”
All here are the Federation’s most trusted heroes, and the person before him is surely a Celestial Being, certainly knowing information related to the Star God, so Qin Jin didn’t hide it: “This small design was left from then.”
Gao Xingwen remained silent, waved his hand, and collected all the boxes.
“Qin Jin, take us out of here.”
“Hmm.”
With a nod, Qin Jin operated the Tribulation Decree, its light enveloping everyone present.
In the wave of teleportation, they appeared within the secured area of departure.
Federation staff had been waiting around, and nearby were the soldiers enforcing the quarantine, all eyes now on them. Seeing the significantly reduced numbers, complex expressions emerged on their faces.
Qin Jin looked to the chief among them, saying solemnly: “Escort the seniors to rest.”
Upon these words, he turned back to look at Gao Xingwen and the others: “Seniors, I’ll take my leave first.”
