Asura.

Pausing and finally recognizing the purple clouds overlapping with one another, each with distinct four clouds, Yelena then realized, "Wait. Why are there four of them at the same time this time? Isn't this phenomenon rare to the point that it only happened 170,000 years ago? Why are there so many?"

Then, suddenly, Heavenly Thunder descended from the sky, striking a location far from their own. As a result, a phantom of a three-eyed, four-armed man became visible to the naked eye, appearing throughout every corner of the world, with purple clouds swirling around him as if worshiping him. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Thunder in the sky grew increasingly bleak with its wrath, as if to express displeasure at the purple clouds worshiping a mere mortal rather than the Heavenly Dao.

The gigantic Asura remained in the heavens for a while, as if contemplating, before punching the Veil that separated each world. BOOM! The sound of Heavenly Thunder struck the Asura continuously, attempting to stop his actions, but it was no use as the protagonist was determined to proceed his way. BOOM, BOOM, and BOOM! CRACK! The sky split open, allowing everyone to see the next heaven clearly.

Not only that, but everyone then felt the restrictions on Shen and Qi energy loosen to the point where they could cultivate it as they did in their previous world, assuming they came from an ancient civilization, and at the same speed as Jing Body Transformation. With this, Asura officially opened the new era of the Endless Asura Path, where the distinction between worlds was blurred, and mortals could now see what heaven looked like.

However, because of this, they now had to go through Heavenly Tribulation if they wanted to ascend to the next heavens, as the Tao is merciless to those who do not conform to its will. When Tian Xing received this information as one of the inhabitants of these creations, he couldn't help but have a strange expression since he clearly knew the character of the Two Doctors.

Shaking his head, Tian Xing giggled to himself as he observed the performances of the Two Doctors. This so-called Heavenly Tribulation was merely a motivational tool for all living beings to improve themselves as individuals. They did this out of fondness because, at the end of the day, what they wanted was to see their creations flourishing.

Destroying someone who tries to break restrictions and defy the heavenly way can, in a sense, encourage rebellion and create individuals who constantly strive for self-improvement out of spite, wanting to destroy the Heavenly Dao. Because of this, Tian Xing understood that this was merely a fickle ploy by the Two Doctors to make every creation yearn for improvement, challenging the Tao that seemed to 'shackle' them.

Watching this spectacle of the Heaven Chosen of this era, he saw the Heaven Chosen fighting with many phantoms in the sky, creating spectacular and magnificent scenes. Observing these phantoms from the highest heavens, Tian Xing couldn't help but be stunned as he recognized their features from his wife's karma message description, which detailed who was affected by his Butterfly Echoes.

Gazing at their phantoms with black lines on their foreheads, Tian Xing wondered if it was due to the bad luck he manipulated or if the current Heaven Chosen was challenging their authority. He prayed for the Asura's well-being, hoping he would not die midway, as this Heaven Chosen had offended someone fifty heavens higher than him.

Tian Xing hoped for the Asura's survival simply because it would be entertaining to watch. Unlike his era, where he was more of a thinker and researcher, which was very boring, this Heaven Chosen era promised to be more exciting and spectacular. The reason being that the Heaven Chosen of this generation seemed fond of continuous fighting, making future creations likely to follow the theme of constant brawls as well.

Thinking along those lines, Tian Xing picked up a portable chair from the flying boat's storage and placed it on the deck to enjoy the show of the Asura phantom fighting with all his might against thousands of individuals in the sky. Ying Yue and Yelena did the same, choosing to enjoy the performance rather than worry about the future. Shaking his head, Tian Xing realized that his relaxed and carefree attitude was perhaps contagious. That's why, seeing this spectacle, they had no fear or trepidation in their hearts.

"Master, Yue found this snack in one of the food storages. Did master want one?"

Taking one of the buns filled with red bean paste, Tian Xing smiled and said, "Yes, master wants one." As he ate the buns and adjusted his position so that Ying Yue and Yelena could sit near each other, he returned to watching the spectacle of the Heaven Chosen fighting thousands of individuals, with the Heavenly Tribulation turning red from the anger and wrath.

Seeing this scene, Tian Xing shook his head at the 'merciless' Heavenly Dao performance because they did not want to see too perfect an existence. But he also knew that, using the infinite daughter calculation, if they died under this, their next subsequent life would run very smoothly when no one was watching. Still, he rubbed his chin, observing the difference.

Unlike him, whose tribulation took the form of a test of psyche, transforming his subconscious mind to be more dexterous and cunning—with the last test involving a timescale difference—this Asura seemed to face a literal form of Tribulation with tangible physical manifestations. Tian Xing couldn't help but think the Two Doctors wanted this era's Heaven Chosen to have an indestructible will.

Raising an eyebrow at his conjecture, Tian Xing confirmed it when he saw the Asura suddenly power up as his subconscious willpower evolved under constant pressure. BOOM! The Asura went Super Saiyan, wielding a translucent axe taken from the deity named Erlang Shen, before slaughtering every phantom in the sky and subsequently splitting the Heavenly Tribulation in two. Just like that, this generation's protagonist resolved the issue of the era by directly hacking it to death, unlike Tian Xing, who needed careful thinking and planning to create three quantum computers.
