What To Do If The Heroine Escapes From The Book Chapter 155

Published at 4th of September 2023 12:51:46 PM

Qiu Wuji felt Chu Ge's gaze.

But no greeting.

Just let him look… This matter itself was supported by Chu Ge, she wasn't secretly 'Against the Heavens.'

She wanted to become an independent person, not a character that can be easily modified in a book. He also wanted the true self of Qiu Wuji.

We share the same heart.

So, under your gaze, let's face this calamity!

“Swoosh!”

Qiu Wuji's long hair fluttered without wind, and the cold brilliance of the divine sword soared into the sky. The sword energy, compressed to the extreme, seemed to have opened a point in the distant void.

The point began to bloom in black and white, dividing into four quadrants, gradually becoming colorful and dazzling, with radiant lights flowing.

Tai Chi gives birth to the two principles, the two principles give birth to the four symbols. The secret of a realm is about to be unlocked. The chaotic power of space began to overflow, squeeze, impact, and shatter. The hazy time is flowing, transcending heaven and earth, unchanging throughout eternity.

In the midst of the air, wind and thunder roared, as if a strong repulsion was descending.

The Great Heavenly Tribulation!

Qiu Wuji's beautiful eyes focused, displaying an unparalleled fierceness.

The nine continents tremble, the four seas boil, and countless people look up to the sky and say, “Is this… a tribulation cloud?”

“Such power, could this be the Great Heavenly Tribulation?”

“This is Qiu Wuji from the Cloud Horizon Sect undergoing a tribulation!”

“She actually attracted the Great Heavenly Tribulation! Will she pass this test?”

Chu Tiange looked up to the sky with a fervent anticipation in his eyes. It was the exploration of the secrets of immortality, the longing to glimpse the truth and shatter illusions, and to reach the pinnacle.

Deep within the unknown underground flames, the shadow of fiery eyes condensed in the void, firmly staring at the source of the tribulation cloud. “Great Heavenly Tribulation…”

Chu Ge also held his breath. He completely forgot that this was essentially a setting in a book where a character was provoking him, and his first reaction was to prepare to help his wife cheat.

The Great Heavenly Tribulation was no joke!

Life, old age, sickness, and death are the constants of the world. Cultivating immortality is to vie with heaven for longevity, to go against the natural order. Each step is a tribulation, not an empty claim.

When reaching the Golden Core stage, undergoing rebirth and entering the Dao, one would face the tribulation of the Golden Core, the first “heaven-defying punishment,” which has caused countless heroes to perish at this stage.

Chu Tiange's journey into the Golden Core stage took hundreds of chapters, showing how arduous it was.

The Nascent Soul stage was another major hurdle, known as the “Minor Heavenly Tribulation.” Only a few could successfully pass through, and they were all prominent figures in this world.

But Qiu Wuji's tribulation and ascension was a true Great Heavenly Tribulation.

Once passed, she would soar into the sky, transcending from human to immortal, truly entering the ranks of the immortals, formless and boundless, traversing the realms without the troubles of lifespan calculations.

But would it be so easy?

As the greatest barrier in the realm of immortals, ascension was by no means simple! The fusion of two realms, earth, water, fire, and wind, the fluctuations of time, space, light, and darkness, and the countless tribulations to be endured. If one couldn't pass through, it meant complete annihilation without any chance of survival.

This was the fundamental setting of the world, and even if Chu Ge wanted to temporarily modify it, it would be impossible. The only thing he could do was to cheat, treating it as a “runaway plot that needed correction” and resetting the situation.

He just hoped that Qiu Wuji's “test” is not a true ascension tribulation and that the difficulty is not that high.

“Boom!”

In the celestial light, the first tribulation thunder descended with fury. Nine heavenly tribulations, reducing flesh and blood to ashes!

Qiu Wuji tapped the scabbard, the autumn water sword condensed into a dazzling light, soaring into the sky.

The rumbling sound reverberated throughout the universe, as if the heavens and earth were trembling, yet not a trace of power splashed out. It was all blocked by the divine sword, unable to enter.

“Boom!”

The second tribulation thunder followed closely.

The second tribulation was not just thunder; it was a howling dark wind, scattering and annihilating souls.

The rippling water waves swept away the universe, as the fierce wind swept across the water curtain, spiraling in the sky and emerging like a dragon, dancing wildly as it soared.

“Boom!”

The third tribulation thunder arrived.

With a loud shout, Qiu Wuji's Black Turtle back armor soared into the sky, instantly overshadowing the sun. Before the tribulation thunder could strike again, the Vermilion Bird's fiery feathers and the Azure Dragon's shed scales caught up in time, forming a mysterious formation in the air.

Space tribulation thunder, crumbling the surrounding space, tearing through chaotic streams, forever lost… she knew it well. The Four Symbols Array was specifically designed to deal with this.

Although it lacked the White Tiger's item… it didn't matter. Using herself as the catalyst, she broke through the limits of space!

“Boom!”

In the radiant celestial light, a stunning woman ascended on a sword. In the midst of the distorted spacetime, she accurately broke through that thread of vitality. Heaven and earth held their breath, the nine continents were silent.

Did she succeed?

The first one in thousands of years to ascend after overcoming the tribulation?

No…

Did she fail?

However, Qiu Wuji let out a muffled groan and fell back.

Not a result of battle… but because that realm simply did not open. It was not an empty realm but a “non-existent place.”

Seemingly existing, yet not truly existing. Such a bizarre existence, she couldn't enter it at all.

Clearly, she succeeded, but because of this situation, she was thrown back…

This setback was not a big deal. She had exploited a loophole to break through the boundary but didn't eliminate the various tribulation thunders. As soon as she fell back, a moment later, a frenzy of thunderstorms erupted, unleashing all kinds of devastating powers that shook the heavens and split the earth. Even watching from afar sent shivers down people's spines.

Those who could sense from a distance were bewildered. They only felt that Qiu Wuji seemed to be on the verge of death…

But in the next moment, the tribulation thunder suddenly disappeared, the rain ceased, and the sky turned blue. Qiu Wuji floated unscathed in the void, her face not flushed nor gasping for breath. It was as if she hadn't even used any of her previously consumed power. No one knew how she managed to get rid of those tribulation thunders.

A strong sense of awe welled up in people's hearts.

They heard before that Qiu Wuji had attempted to overcome the tribulation multiple times, and many had initially doubted it. How could someone who failed in their tribulation attempts still be lively and energetic? This vivid scene proved that Qiu Wuji had the power to dominate the heavens and earth. Even if she failed to overcome the tribulation, the tribulation thunder posed no threat to her.

It felt like even the true powerhouses who had successfully ascended were not as formidable… This woman was truly terrifying…

As they watched her descend upon the mountaintop, she seemed ethereal and transcendent, with a calm demeanor, as if failing to overcome the tribulation was nothing more than a trivial mishap, like a failed alchemical experiment.

Little did they know that at this moment, Qiu Wuji was far from composed. She was almost frantic as she rushed back to her secluded room at the fastest speed possible. As soon as she closed the door, she quickly split her soul and broke through the boundary, heading straight back to the real world.

Chu Ge, sitting in front of the computer, had blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, his face pale as he gasped for breath.

When he saw Qiu Wuji urgently appear, he let out a sigh of relief. “It's good that you're out. Are you okay?”

“I'm fine, but what about you?” Qiu Wuji hurriedly embraced him. “You forcefully erased the 'plot' of me attempting to overcome the tribulation. It's like resetting the world, even more difficult than erasing Yan Qianli's white flame. You…”

Chu Ge weakly smiled. “Because I was in a hurry… In hindsight, it seems like I didn't need to make such an exaggerated correction. It feels like there could have been another way… but I couldn't think that far ahead in the heat of the moment…”

“What are you talking about at a time like this?” Qiu Wuji hurriedly helped him onto the bed and placed her hand on his back. “Close your eyes, recuperate, and regulate your internal energy. I will assist in your healing.”

The healing technique enveloped his body, nourishing his meridians with strands of energy, soothing his soul.

Gradually, the pallor on Chu Ge's face began to fade, and he whispered, “In a way, you have broken free from the constraints of the plot and achieved self-ascension… The failure wasn't because you couldn't break free, but because the heavenly realm doesn't exist. My Qiuqiu, you're truly amazing!”

Qiu Wuji silently healed him, feeling a bit confused.

There was nothing amazing about it. True greatness would be facing the overpowering force head-on, rather than being saved by someone else… She didn't even know if she had truly broken free.

Even the premise of breaking free is through the way of space that he taught… Did that count as something given by the heavens?

Well, even if it was something she had learned, at least it wasn't written… However, regardless of success or failure, she couldn't escape his modifications. Could that still be considered breaking free?

Qiu Wuji felt that it had become difficult to clearly discern this matter. It had become a state of mutual interaction. But one thing should be clear: as long as he could still modify and add her own thoughts, personality, and so on, she definitely couldn't be considered a normal, independent person who had truly broken free. For now, it seemed that he still could, and her attempt at ascension seemed to have had no effect.

She let out a gentle sigh and said softly, “Regardless of the situation, it's still progress… Now, what I'm worried about is that the closer I get to becoming a real person, the more you'll be hurt.”

This likely was a genuine conflict that they had always avoided in the past, but today, with Chu Ge's injury, it finally surfaced and seemed difficult to avoid.

Chu Ge chuckled softly. “That doesn't really matter. I want my female protagonist to become a real person. For you, it may be breaking free from the will of the heavens, but for me, it's like competing with myself. I'm going to challenge myself!”

Qiu Wuji pursed her lips, wanting to say something but unable to find the right words. After a while, she changed her sentence. “You're truly an 'M'.”

Chu Ge started acting spoiled. “The 'M' is hurt. My Qiuqiu, give me a kiss to make me feel better.”

Qiu Wuji showed an expression of helplessness that said, “I can't do anything with you,” and slowly leaned forward to give him a gentle kiss on his lips, which were still stained with blood. “Whether or not you want to compete with yourself… If you're afraid of me getting hurt, I can't bear to see you hurt either… Don't always think that a man must stand tall and take care of himself… You have to believe in yourself. With Creator God still here, how could anything happen to me, Qiu Wuji?”

Neither of them noticed that, earlier when the space was tumultuous and the heavens were collapsing, a cluster of flame shadows had passed through the celestial light and landed in Chu Ge's living room.

The illusory formation of Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly had been triggered, but at that time, Chu Ge and Qiu Wuji were already entangled in even greater troubles and couldn't sense it.

“Autumn water is vast, like a mirror reflecting the moon, the true and illusory in debate.” The flame gradually solidified into a humanoid figure, looking up at the calligraphy of “Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly,” gazing at it for a while before smiling faintly. “Which is the dream and which is the reality? So that's how it is.”

He sensed Chu Ge's presence in the room but ultimately remained cautious and didn't approach.

This Creator God, who had taken away his creation of the White Flame, had treated it as if plucking something from a bag. He couldn't accurately determine how strong the other party had become…

At this moment, he himself was in a state of pure spiritual energy, without even a physical body, while Qiu Wuji had split her soul to come here. He was just as weak as her soul and dared not make any rash moves.

“The Creator God?” he muttered to himself silently. “I won't provoke you for now. I'll wait until I fully understand the truth before making a judgment… So-called reality, even if Qiu Wuji can perceive it clearly, how could it possibly confine me, Yan Qianli!”

The apparition transformed into a blaze of fire and shot out of the window.

Before Qiu Wuji arrived, it had already flown off into the distance, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
