Reversing Falsehood and Preserving Truth: All Gods and Gods Are in My Hands

The stiffness lingering on my buttocks from the cold metal chair in the police station had not yet completely subsided, and the cool early morning air in Zhongzhou City was already carrying the aroma of soy milk and fried dough sticks.

Lu Yu took a deep breath and looked at his three companions walking side by side. He felt as if the life-and-death battle in the mountains yesterday was a nightmare that was all too real.

The pale dawn breaking in the eastern sky barely dispelled the darkness of the night, but it failed to fully illuminate the small space under the dim, solitary lamp of the roadside stall.

The rising steam from the bubbling soy milk pot blurred the busy figure of the stall owner, as well as the undisguised fatigue and complex emotions on the faces of the teenagers.

The four sat around a slightly greasy small square table. The brief silence was broken by Zhao Lei's loud slurping of soy milk. He grabbed a fried dough stick, took a vicious bite, and mumbled, "Finally out... I'd sprouted if I'd stayed in that place any longer."

Su Wan sipped the warm soy milk, her pale face regaining a touch of color in the steam. Her gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Lu Yu, and she asked softly, "Lu Yu, are you... really alright? The aura you had back then was so terrifying..."

She still felt lingering fear when she recalled the ancient majesty that suddenly erupted from Lu Yu, a majesty that seemed to freeze time and space.

Lu Yu shook his head: "I'm fine, but the price I paid was quite high."

He didn't explain the details of Feng Hou's consciousness descending, as it involved the secrets of the myriad dao hub, which were too shocking. "But how are your injuries?"

"It's just a superficial wound. Sister Jiaqi treated it, it's nothing serious." Zhao Lei waved his hand dismissively, showing the scabbed abrasion on his arm.

Chen Mo pushed up his glasses, his gaze behind the lenses calm and composed, but upon closer inspection, one could see the bloodshot veins in his eyes.

"Physical functions have recovered to 87%, but mental energy has been excessively depleted. It is estimated that a day or two of rest will be needed for a full recovery." His tone was as precise as ever, as if he were analyzing a data model that had nothing to do with him. "According to the assessment of the Shouzhen Bureau's aftermath team, the announcement regarding the local geological anomalies caused by the 'AR game testing extreme environmental stress experiment' will be broadcast on the local news channel during the day today."

This is the standard procedure of the Bureau of Guarding Truth: using a set of seemingly absurd but self-consistent arguments, combined with the influence of the rules of heaven and earth, to cover up the shocking truth under the calm of daily life.

Lu Yu nodded, already used to it.

He tried to simultaneously observe the three forces within his body: the pale golden light of the True Dao, the profound patterns of the Array Dao, and the faint emerald green sprouts of the Hundred Herbs Dao. At this moment, they were like streams flowing into the sea, operating harmoniously in a state of "multiple paths resonating together," without the initial conflict and backlash.

Within his dantian, the Hundred Herbs Cauldron floated silently, and within its spiritual field, several seedlings obtained from the Shennong Secret Realm were radiating a faint vitality, nourishing his meridians.

"Although this was dangerous, the gains were considerable."

Lu Yu silently recited to himself, took another sip of warm soy milk, glanced at his companions, and silently assessed their individual states.

Lu Yu himself inherited the true Dao from the ancient goddess Nuwa, the array Dao from the ancient goddess Feng Hou, and the sprout of the Hundred Herbs Dao from Shennong. Among them, the true Dao and the array Dao have both reached the 4-star Imperial Dao Realm, which is considered to be of medium strength in the Shouzhen Bureau. The sprout of the Hundred Herbs Dao is also at the 2-star Condensation Realm.

In addition to the general abilities of the three major paths, the following skills and abilities are currently available:

Void-Breaking Blade (True Dao - Dao Inheritance): A pale golden blade that can be shaped at will. It possesses the characteristic of breaking through the void and is specifically designed to sever the source of illusion.

Tracing the Source of Truth (Nuwa's Legacy): Can be used once a year. Touching an object allows you to trace its "true trajectory" and reveal key scenes.

Instantaneous Array (Array Dao Dao - Dao Inheritance): With a thought, one can instantly condense basic array patterns one level lower than one's own strength.

The Eight Trigrams Formation (inherited from Feng Hou): An ancient battle formation that must be deployed in the order of "Rest, Life, Injury, Block, View, Death, Shock, Open". Currently, Lu Yu can reliably deploy the first four key points of the formation.

Spiritual Plant Returning to Origin Body (Special Constitution): Automatically absorbs the vitality of plants, enhancing life force, recovery ability, and cultivation efficiency.

Multi-Path Harmony (Special Ability): Allows for the seamless simultaneous operation of multiple Great Dao powers, multiplying their effectiveness.

Furthermore, within the Shennong Ruins, they obtained the lifelong medicinal formulas passed down by Shennong and the divine artifact "Hundred Herbs Cauldron". The Hundred Herbs Cauldron can not only refine divine medicines, but also has an internal space for storage, contains spiritual fields for planting spiritual materials, and can refine energy and protect its owner autonomously, with endless wonderful uses.

Su Wan inherited the Path of Spiritual Communication from the ancient Egyptian god Thoth. Although it was only in its nascent stage, she already possessed the strength of a 3-star Divine Realm cultivator. This made her spiritual perception extremely sharp, allowing her to clearly sense and guide the emotional and conscious fluctuations of others, and even establish a bridge of consciousness to transmit information.

Chen Mo inherited the Great Dao of Insight from Vipassi Buddha, the foremost of the Seven Buddhas of the Past, and is currently at the 3-star Divine Realm. The power of the Great Dao not only endows him with extraordinary analytical and computational abilities, but his insightful abilities also allow him to see through appearances to the essence of the world. He can see through the flow of energy and even see through many illusions and disguises.

Although Zhao Lei did not have a clear lineage to inherit the Great Dao, he possessed a unique constitution that made him immune to the devouring of ethereal spirits, and he also had an unusually strong physical body and vitality.

"Oh, right!"

Lu Yu's gaze hadn't left Zhao Lei when Zhao Lei suddenly pulled out his phone with a cracked screen, scribbling randomly on the cracks with his fingers. "After a whole night of this, I need to see if my parents have contacted me... Uh, my mom's probably still jet-lagged abroad, and my dad? Tsk, he's busy with business, he doesn't have time for me."

He pursed his lips, his tone deliberately light, but the fleeting disappointment in his eyes was noticed by everyone present.

Su Wan lowered her head, her voice barely audible: "My dad drives long-haul freight, he's probably still on the road right now, and he probably doesn't know I haven't been home all day."

Chen Mo adjusted his glasses and said succinctly, "I live alone, so there's no need to report it."

At this moment, Lu Yu's expression suddenly changed, and he thought to himself, "Oh no!"

Just then, Lu Yu's expression suddenly changed, and he thought to himself, "Oh no!"

He hurriedly pulled out his phone, which was also on the verge of breaking. The moment the screen lit up, a dense list of missed calls popped up, almost all of them from "home" and "Mom"!

Since leaving the hospital yesterday afternoon, he has been completely absorbed in the series of events and has completely forgotten to contact his parents! In his parents' eyes, he has truly been "out of contact" for almost a day!

Just as he was about to call back, his phone suddenly vibrated, the word "Mom" flashing on the screen, and the ringtone sounded particularly urgent in the quiet of the early morning.
