Tribulation (1/3)

'The tribulation should arrive any moment now.' Lith thought to himself while looking around.

His core was in the process of formation, and Lith knew that the tribulation would be coming at any moment to prevent him from ascending.

Rising up in ranks in the mortal realms was easy and not very risky. One would be a mortal even if they become Rank 9 except they would have a long lifespan.

But long didn't mean infinite or inexhaustible. It was still limited.

A Rank 9 could live up to ten thousand years without any problems but they would die of old age when they exceed that limit and reincarnate again.

Rank 1 could live up to a hundred years and they were the ones with the shortest lifespans.

Rank 2 could live up to 200 years. Rank 3 could live up to 300 years and so on. The lifespan increased by a hundred years for every rank until Rank 5 where it would become 500 years.
