Unfortunately fortunate

What is this heavenly tribulation playing at?

First, it was getting stronger, then soon after, it started getting weaker? Was it trying to use psychological warfare?

In the past, the heavenly tribulation would simply use ordinary attacks, but then it had recently learned to use science and technology. Did it now also learn to use psychological warfare? Did it not want to leave those who were transcending it any hope for life?

"Omnipresent and awe-inspiring dignity that is said to protect the universe," said the virtuous lamia using Sage Monarch Melon Eater's voice—this line should have been said by Sage Monarch Melon Eater at some point in the past, but Song Shuhang had no impression of it at all.

Song Shuhang said, "Fairy, speak clearly."

The virtuous lamia tilted her head, and said, "Guess?"

"..." Song Shuhang. 

Could it be that the weakening of the heavenly tribulation had something to do with the return of the virtuous lamia?
