175: Successfully survived the tribulation

Looking at the faint light before him, Li Mu felt as if he had seen a life-saving straw and hurriedly stood up.

Watching that light closely, he noticed it getting stronger and stronger, so Li Mu quickly walked forward.

The light was also rapidly approaching Li Mu. Before long, the light completely enveloped Li Mu, and he lost consciousness once again.

When he woke up again, Li Mu found himself lying face down on a desk, one hand still gripping a familiar object.

However, that object made Li Mu somewhat incredulous. He hurriedly pulled out his other hand to rub his eyes and looked again; there was no change at all!

What Li Mu was holding in his hand was actually a computer mouse, and in front of him was a laptop!

“What is going on?”

Li Mu's head was a mess. Looking at the familiar scene, wasn't this the small rental room he lived in before his Transmigration?

He hurriedly tried to use Spiritual Qi again, only to find that he still couldn't feel any cultivation, and the System didn't give any response either.

“Could it be that everything before was just a dream?”

Li Mu murmured to himself, his other hand trying to move that familiar yet strange mouse.

Finding that everything was exactly as it had been before, Li Mu's heart was completely thrown into chaos.

Dream? Reality?

Which was the dream? Which was real?

Questions appeared one after another in Li Mu's mind. Wasn't he just Undergoing Tribulation? How did he suddenly end up here?

Thinking of the Lightning Tribulation, Li Mu immediately thought of the wounds left behind during the tribulation and hurriedly turned to look.

But there wasn't a single wound on his body; even the clothes he was wearing were no longer the ones he had been wearing before.

Everything had the atmosphere of the modern style!!

Just then, a knock came from the door of Li Mu's rental room. Li Mu hadn't adjusted his state of mind yet, so he didn't speak.

The knocking sounded a few times and then stopped. The sound of departing footsteps came from outside, along with the Landlord's grumbling.

“Why is this young man not at home again! If he doesn't pay the rent soon, I'll have to kick him out!”

The Landlord's grumbling made Li Mu even more certain that this was his world. Memories that had been sealed away now surged back like a tide.

After a long time, Li Mu suddenly felt a bit hungry. When he first noticed this feeling, he felt a sense of strangeness.

“How many years has it been since I last felt hunger?”

Li Mu was still somewhat unable to distinguish his current state. If the previous life was a dream, why did the feelings in the dream feel so real?

Unable to figure it out, Li Mu stopped thinking about it. Seeing a cup of instant noodles beside him, Li Mu swallowed his saliva.

He hurriedly boiled water and prepared the noodles.

The meal he used to eat to save money seemed so delicious to the current Li Mu. Before long, the instant noodles were ready.

Looking at the steaming instant noodles, Li Mu's saliva uncontrollably flowed down. Suddenly, Li Mu sensed something was wrong again.

“Why can't I smell the aroma of the noodles? Logically speaking, the whole room should be filled with the scent of these noodles right now!”

After leaning closer to the noodles, Li Mu took a deep breath, but he still couldn't smell anything.

Refusing to believe it, Li Mu hurriedly picked up the fork, took a mouthful of noodles, and shoved them into his mouth, no longer caring if they were hot or not.

Just as Li Mu suspected, when the noodles entered his mouth, he couldn't taste anything. Moreover, though the noodles were steaming, they had no temperature once they were in his mouth.

Furthermore, Li Mu actually couldn't even feel the sensation of chewing!!

“Could it be that my current world is fake?”

Li Mu's eyes widened. This was his most familiar environment, so why could he feel nothing now!

In his fluster, Li Mu accidentally knocked over the noodles. The steaming noodles spilled directly onto Li Mu's body, but he still felt nothing!

Refusing to accept this, Li Mu picked up a pair of scissors, looked at his arm, closed his eyes, and stabbed down hard.

No sensation of pain appeared, and no blood flowed out.

“This is fake!”

Li Mu cried out in alarm, but as soon as this thought surfaced, another thought in his mind tried to stop him.

Li Mu's eyes struggled. On one hand, he wanted to stay in his own world; on the other hand, he felt that his world seemed fake!

The two thoughts constantly battled within Li Mu's mind. At the same time, at the place where he was Undergoing Tribulation, Li Mu's figure was also constantly trembling, and the previously roaring thunderclouds had now disappeared.

Two figures in the distance had also approached Li Mu's side. Seeing Li Mu caught in a struggle, the two prayed silently.

“I hope he can pull through!”

Inside the rental room, Li Mu held his head and curled up on the floor. The battle between the two thoughts in his mind grew more intense, and his head began to throb.

But this also let Li Mu know that this world was fake; otherwise, why would his mind start resisting so violently as soon as he had a negative thought?

But how was he to get out? How could he leave this world?

Suddenly, Li Mu sat up abruptly. His bloodshot eyes looked at the sky outside the window as he shouted angrily, “Fake! This is fake!”

Saying this, Li Mu got up and walked toward the window. The other thought in his mind was still trying to stop him, but Li Mu still walked firmly to the window. Looking outside, an absurd idea was born.

“Seventh floor! That should be enough! Whether I live or die depends on this one move!”

After saying that, Li Mu jumped up, then spread his arms and leaped down.

The scene of being smashed into a pulp did not happen, because the moment Li Mu jumped, the System's voice rang out.

The corners of Li Mu's mouth curled up as he thought to himself: Just as I thought!

“Ding... Congratulations to the Host for successfully completing the mission!”

“Reward: star tower upgrade (available for Star Saint Body cultivation)! Star Saint Body strength increased!”

Before Li Mu even had time to open his eyes, he felt the energy in his body rapidly rising.

The two figures who had been guarding Li Mu saw his change and hid themselves once again.

Li Mu regained consciousness again. Seeing his currently charred body, he gave a bitter smile and didn't mind it.

The moment Li Mu woke up, clouds began to brew again where the thunderclouds had been. Unlike before, the clouds brewing now were colorful.

Seeing this, Li Mu guessed that since he had successfully undergone the tribulation, this must be the reward for it!

In a short while, the Seven-colored clouds finished gathering, and a beam of seven-colored light fell from the clouds, heading straight for Li Mu.

Li Mu did not dodge at all and gladly accepted the seven-colored light. As the light entered his body, the charred skin on his body began to peel off rapidly, followed by the growth of new flesh.

The newly grown flesh was accompanied by the mysterious Power of the Stars. At the same time, Li Mu's Aura also began to climb rapidly...
