The monsters that were originally surrounding the cave entrance have all disappeared. Some of the unlucky ones were struck dead by lightning, while others fled upon seeing this.
Zhang Xiaoyao and the others stood on the floating island, hesitant and lost in thought as they looked at the lightning bolts that seemed to bend in the sky.
From Zhang Xiaoyao's and the others' perspective, countless bolts of lightning descended from the sky, then made a sharp turn at the entrance of the cave and entered the cave.
"What a terrible sin he committed! Even if the heavenly lightning had to bend, it would still strike him dead!" Zhang Xiaoyao broke the silence first, gazing at the heavenly lightning not far away and saying in a low voice.
"I bet he's a writer who doesn't update regularly, but starts frantically trying to reach the word count at the end of the month!" Simp #1 guessed.
"No, no, I disagree. What if an author suddenly stops updating or abandons the story?" Simp #2 expressed a different opinion.
"It's also possible that the author went on a crazy spree of padding, incurring the wrath of heaven and man, which is why the heavens have sent down a thunderbolt to restore a bright and clear sky to the world!" added Simp #3.
...
Everyone on the floating island shared their opinions, and suddenly, Simp #2 thought of a possibility.
"Um... do you guys think it's possible that the one getting struck by lightning right now is our boss?" Simp #2 voiced his inner thoughts.
Everyone: (°ー°〃)
The words of "Simp #2" acted like a great silencing spell, sealing everyone away and plunging the floating island into a deathly silence.
The group exchanged glances, their minds growing increasingly convinced that it was possible, especially since only three people had entered the cave earlier.
“That’s certainly possible, after all, Wang Xiaoyi looked like this when he underwent his tribulation!” Zhang Xiaoyao broke the silence again.
"But that's not right, Boss's cultivation level is still far from the Tribulation Transcending Realm!" Simp #1 expressed his doubts.
"Besides, no one but the author should attract such a huge lightning tribulation. Boss isn't the author!" Simp #3 added.
"But... the boss is a character created by the author!" Simp #2 asked a question that hit the nail on the head.
The entire floating island fell into a deathly silence once again!
No one spoke; everyone was focused intently on looking down from the floating island!
Everyone: (。_。)
Everyone's showing off, except Wang Xiaoyi, who's getting beaten up!
While everyone was chatting and laughing on the floating island, Wang Xiaoyi was in his cave, wishing he were dead!
At this moment, Wang Xiaoyi was like a broken doll being struck by lightning and flying around in the air!
Tian Lei was a man of strong emotions; once he told Wang Xiaoyi not to speak, he didn't let Wang Xiaoyi speak anymore.
"Damn author, have you even thought about this Five Elements Nascent Soul talent yet? If you haven't, I'm going to die here!" Wang Xiaoyi said in despair.
(Author's inner monologue: Don't rush, I'll make up my mind after I finish this meal, just bear with it a little longer!)
