In his third attempt, Wang Wei still believes that by having a powerful enough cultivation, he would become victorious against the Wrath of Heaven. As such, he travels throughout the whole world and learns all the cultivation scriptures and techniques that he could.
Then, he creates a Supreme Scripture that allows him to reach an unimaginable height in cultivation level.
As for his parents, he did not hide them or try to protect them like last time. Instead, he allows them to go on the path of cultivation themselves. He creates a cultivation technique that provides them with Heaven Defying defense and healing abilities.
As long as they have a single breath left, as long as a single drop of blood is left, they can heal and rejuvenate both their bodies and soul. They were almost immortal and unkillable.
This technique was indeed quite terrible and heaven defying. The only reason that Wang Wei can so easily create it is due to the fact that the Pagoda Trial is an illusory world where anything is possible.
However, despite his best effort, some things are inevitable, they are destined to happen. Wang Wei still fails to stop the gigantic hand or the Wrath of Heaven.
Although in this round, he still lasted a little longer than previous ones, the gigantic hand still kills him and his family. His developed unkillable cultivation technique only prolonged the inevitable demise of his parents--and further added to their suffering before their death.
However, Wang Wei did not regret his choice. The Wrath of Heaven was determined to involve his parents in their fight, and unfortunately, there is nothing he could do to stop it.
However, his will and determination did not waver for even a second. As long as he has a single breath, he will continue to fight it.
This determination soon became the despair of our young protagonist.
....
The cycle of the seasons--from Autumn to Summer--is manifestation of Samsara, as it indicates that all living beings live life in an endless cycle of suffering from one reincarnation to another, without being able to escape.
It is also a manifestation of the passing of time, the bringer of wisdom to all life through age, suffering, and repeating mistakes.
As such, two years passed by, and Wang Wei was still stuck in the Ninth Pagoda Trial. Throughout the past two years, Wang Wei had many attempts at the Pagoda--9,999 to be exact. All of them ended in failures.
He had to watch his family and loved one die one by one more than 9000 times. And he himself had to experience such a number of deaths.
Death was not a particularly enjoyable experience. In this trial, there is no such thing as reincarnation. As such, death is the end, the finale. There is no afterlife, no kingdom of God, no punishment from hell, only an eternal silence and absolute darkness.
