The fire mage from the game world

However, Chen Yi held a different view regarding the last sentence spoken by You Changjing.

The waning tribulation is both a tribulation and an opportunity.

Relying on external objects might not perfectly overcome this waning tribulation, ultimately leading to a pseudo-Tier 7.

A pseudo-Tier 7 is still Tier 7, but that's not what Chen Yi is pursuing.

Chen Yi didn't voice these thoughts but nodded: "Thank you, I have equipment to increase luck, so these aren't problems. I'll remember the favor."

Afterward, Chen Yi disappeared from the command center, leaving behind only the subsequent arrangements and two Celestial Five Decay players with inexplicable expressions.

Inside the City Lord's mansion of the City of Heavens.

Dongfang Wei sat with his eyes closed in a chair, radiating authority without anger.

No one would have imagined that this person was already a corpse.

Chen Yi suddenly recalled what Ma Fei had told him about a Corpse Refinement sect among necromancers.

They refine recently deceased, but relatively intact, corpses into zombies or liches.

The more powerful the corpse was in life, the higher the initial talent of the undead created.

Compared to ordinary undead disasters, they follow an elite route.

Each corpse requires a large amount of resources to improve.

Usually, 5 to 7 of these special undead form a group.

Just thinking about this number made Chen Yi's scalp tingle.

Chen Yi considered his earning ability to be decent, and his family even had a mine.

But even so, it was barely enough to support himself, Charizard, and Qiuka.

Let alone supporting 5 to 7 of them.

Sanhua constantly cried poor to Chen Yi for a reason; his strength was tied to the number and quality of his pets.

Meaning each pet needed to be nurtured.

Tsk tsk.

Selling Chen Yi wouldn't be enough to support them.

Seeing Chen Yi arrive, Charizard stopped training.

He excitedly explained his experiences during this time, having initially grasped Bi Jiu's understanding of will, and was currently practicing it continuously.

As Bi Jiu said, his method wasn't suitable for geniuses.

His method of using will was simple to learn.

But to make it strong, one had to undergo day after day of arduous practice.

Each arduous practice was a refinement of the will.

Until the powerful will was enough to distort reality.

Afterward, Chen Yi called back a certain cat that had wandered off somewhere, briefly told them his plans, and asked them to help guard the area.

Although, based on the current situation, neither the Technology Faction nor the Scholars' Home seemed to have any intention of troubling Dongfang Wei, it was better to be safe than sorry.

Especially since the Celestial Third Decay was a tribulation of luck; what one feared most was likely to come.

Naturally, sufficient preparations had to be made.

After Chen Yi finished arranging everything he could, he began to meditate quietly.

Qin Fanfan and You Changjing had informed Chen Yi of a lot of information about the Celestial Third Decay, and Bi Jiu and his two disciples had also told Chen Yi about their tribulation-crossing experiences.

The focus of the Third Decay was on having sufficient strength to deal with situations akin to "Final Destination," and secondly, the subsequent disasters.

Each person's disaster was different, and the time of arrival was also uncertain.

Qin Fanfan's was a water disaster, where he would be countered by water within 3 years.

You Changjing's was a human disaster, being forcibly forbidden from playing cards.

Bi Jiu's was a myriad arrows piercing the heart disaster.

......

Equipment that increased luck could weaken the intensity of the disaster.

After passing the disaster, one would incorporate their fate into their body, completing this waning tribulation.

After confirming that he understood correctly, Chen Yi put away the 【God's Weep】 into his backpack and began the tribulation.

Unlike the Celestial First Decay and Celestial Second Decay, Chen Yi didn't feel anything after starting, as if nothing had happened.

In reality, the first wave of tribulation had already begun. Because of the Wasteland World's backlash, Chen Yi's mere 10 points of luck were rapidly plummeting.

Soon, it reached negative numbers.

-4

-9

-20

The saying "darkening between the eyebrows" was a fitting description of Chen Yi right now.

The stone bed on which Chen Yi was meditating suddenly collapsed.

Coincidentally, several exceptionally sharp stone blades flew toward Chen Yi's eyes.

The closed-eyed Chen Yi didn't dodge or avoid them.

The stone blades cut against Chen Yi's eyelids but couldn't break through the armor.

Luck continued to decline.

-30

-40

With Chen Yi's not-so-powerful perception, he could sense at this moment that the entire world was filled with malice toward him.

A star hanging above the continent suddenly broke away from its original trajectory and crashed toward the continent.

And the center of that star's target was Chen Yi.

Inside the City of Heavens, several scavengers temporarily residing in the city got into a fight because they didn't see eye to eye.

The mana slowly flowing within Chen Yi's body even showed signs of deviation.

The first wave of tribulation ended, and Chen Yi's luck had reached -70.

The star hadn't fallen yet but had been burned into nothingness.

The mask effect was turned off, and the distorted aura dissipated. The scavengers who had originally approached quickly left in fear.

A house that was exceptionally sturdy and without any traps had now turned into ruins, and within the ruins was Chen Yi, motionless.

The second wave of tribulation arrived.

A scavenger who hadn't left very far suddenly said: "Have you heard? The previous upheaval caused another will to be born within the bodies of those people from the big forces, the kind deeply affected by the power of the Abyss."

"Then isn't it over?"

"What do you know? Haven't you heard of the id, ego, and superego?"

"Only by leaving the id can one find the superego."

Chen Yi still kept his eyes closed, his heart without the slightest fluctuation.

The second wave of tribulation ended as soon as it began.

A loss may turn out to be a gain.

Who knows whether the final result will be good or bad.

The third wave of tribulation arrived.

More than a dozen illusory ghosts suddenly floated out from beside Chen Yi. After these ghosts appeared, they didn't say anything, nor did they attack Chen Yi.

After appearing, they began to fight each other.

Chen Yi opened his eyes, frowning as he looked ahead.

This tribulation... was a bit incomprehensible.

What did the ghosts represent? The waning tribulation should originate from within; it shouldn't involve external objects before the disaster arrived.

Which meant that these ghosts had some kind of relationship with him.

Health?

Mana?

Soul?

None of these, Chen Yi was certain.

His state hadn't weakened in the slightest.

Wait!

Luck?

After the waning tribulation began, Chen Yi's luck constantly decreased, but decreasing didn't mean the disappearance of fortune.

As long as Chen Yi didn't die, fortune couldn't completely disappear.

Negative luck only meant that Chen Yi's current fortune was very bad.

Chen Yi stretched out his hand, trying to grab a ghost, but his hand passed through its body, without causing the slightest impact on the ghost.

Even though Chen Yi had a spirit body, it was the same.

A spirit body without the support of real attributes couldn't allow Chen Yi to grasp these non-existent things.

A cluster of silver flames appeared from Chen Yi's hand.

The ghosts were still unaffected.

The术式【Burning Simulation】, before even getting close, these ghosts were already trembling.

However, Chen Yi's hand holding the fire ring was frozen in mid-air, not falling.

What could be gained by killing ghosts in a state of negative luck?

Chen Yi didn't know, so he couldn't act rashly.
