Villain? No, I'll catch up with the protagonist after passing the civil service exam.

As the last traces of outer space pollution dissipated, the lingering clouds over the Pacific Ocean completely disappeared.

The sea breeze sweeps across Wanghai Peak, carrying a hint of salty, free-spirited air.

"drop--"

Deep within Lu Jingyan's mind, a grand and sacred system notification sounded.

It is no longer the cold, mechanical synthesized sound of the past.

Instead, it resonated with an ethereal rhythm that seemed to evoke a cosmic resonance, exploding loudly in the central nervous system.

[Congratulations, host! Your righteousness value has successfully surpassed the 10 billion point mark!]

The higher-dimensional invasion has been completely thwarted, and the underlying logic of the Blue Star plane has completed its final closed loop.

You saved civilization.

Lu Jingyan held the can of iced cola, his knuckles turning slightly white.

A bone-chilling coldness traveled down my fingertips.

However, it could not suppress the terrifying power surging wildly within him, like a volcanic eruption.

The clouds that had dispersed in the sky suddenly gathered again.

However, this time it wasn't a dark red calamity that arrived.

Instead, it was a sky full of dazzling golden auspicious clouds.

That was the purest form of Heavenly Merit.

They transformed into a visible golden downpour, centered on Wanghai Peak, and poured wildly towards Lu Jingyan.

Every drop of golden rain contains a tremendous power enough to make one ascend to heaven in broad daylight.

"Boss! You...you're glowing!"

Zhao Tiezhu was so startled that he dropped the Coke in his hand onto the grass with a "plop," spraying Coke foam all over his shoes.

He stared wide-eyed at Lu Jingyan, who was enveloped in dazzling golden light.

The light was so sacred that people dared not look directly at it.

"My goodness! This light is brighter than a searchlight!"

Zhao Tiezhu trembled and took two steps back, swallowing hard.

"Boss, are you about to become a Buddha or an ancestor? Should I kowtow to you first?"

It wasn't just Zhao Tiezhu on Wanghai Peak.

At this moment, the entire city of Jinghai, and even all living beings on the planet Blue Star, felt this vast and boundless pressure.

Inside the downtown super-management bureau building.

The judge knelt down on the cold marble floor with a thud, trembling with excitement.

He was completely unaware that his official hat had fallen to the ground.

"Golden light of merit! This is immeasurable merit for saving the world!"

He kowtowed frantically in the direction of Wanghai Peak, muttering incantations, like a most devout believer.

"Director Lu is not only a god in the mortal world, but also a living ancestor in our underworld!"

The judge suddenly turned his head and roared at the Black and White Impermanence who were terrified beside him.

"Write this down quickly! Go and revise the judge's code of conduct tonight!"

"From now on, the underworld's teaching materials must venerate Director Lu as the number one deity in the Three Realms! Anyone who dares to disrespect him will be sent directly to the eighteenth level of hell!"

Inside a special prison 150 meters underground.

Those former protagonists who were imprisoned felt a deep-seated fear even through the thick titanium alloy walls.

This is an absolute crushing force originating from the soul.

Ye Fan, the former Asura Dragon King, slumped down beside the toilet.

Looking at his trembling hands, he sank into the mire of despair.

"This level of Heavenly Dao pressure... is a hundred times more terrifying than that of the Creator God."

"We'll never escape from prison in this lifetime. We'll just have to spend the rest of our lives cleaning toilets."

The domineering CEO, Gu Yanchen, grabbed a rag and began diligently wiping the iron railings.

He even polished the railings until they had a mirror-like reflective finish.

They were afraid that if they were even a second too slow, they would be crushed into dust by this righteous spirit.

And at the top of Wanghaifeng Peak.

The sea breeze has completely stopped.

Lu Jingyan stood quietly in the golden rain of merit, closing his deep black eyes.

He could clearly feel that every cell in his body was undergoing a terrifying dimensional leap.

His consciousness seemed to detach from this carbon-based body, soaring infinitely upwards.

If he's willing.

He only needs a single thought to easily calm a tsunami.

Or let the entire city of Jinghai float into outer space.

This power is terrifying.

It is terrifying enough to make any carbon-based life form instantly lose itself and become a slave to power and desire.

"Boss, how are you feeling?"

Zhao Tiezhu mustered his courage and took two steps closer, breaking the suffocating, sacred silence.

He curiously reached out, wanting to touch the layer of golden light.

"Is it like in martial arts novels, where you open up your Ren and Du meridians?"

As soon as my finger touched the halo, it was repelled by a gentle yet irresistible force.

"Ouch! This thing even has a damage reflection effect?"

"Don't touch it randomly, be careful of static electricity."

Lu Jingyan slowly opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed the urge within him to tear through the void.

He calmly raised the can of cola in his hand, tilted his head back, and gulped down half of it.

The icy carbonated drink rolled down my throat.

In this supremely sacred moment, his action seemed both incongruous and down-to-earth.

"What's so special about opening up the Ren and Du meridians?"

Lu Jingyan casually crushed the Coke can, a playful smile curving his lips.

"I feel like I could drain the entire Pacific Ocean with a snap of my fingers."

"That powerful?"

Zhao Tiezhu rubbed his hands together excitedly, his eyes shining.

It's as if I can already see the bright future of the Special Investigations Team dominating the entire universe.

"So, does that mean we won't even need to use armored vehicles to catch criminals anymore?"

"You teleported them all to prison with a single thought! You even saved on gas!"

"You wish! If that were the case, all of you would be laid off and unemployed."

Lu Jingyan sneered, his gaze piercing through the golden clouds.

He calmly gazed upon the vast land he had single-handedly saved.

He knew that he had now reached the pinnacle of evolution in the entire plane.

He was no longer an ordinary deputy bureau-level cadre.

Rather, they were saviors personally certified by the will of this world.

If he wanted, he could immediately replace that high-dimensional being who was blasted into dust.

To become the sole ruler of this planet.

No law can restrain him anymore.

Because from this moment on, he himself is the ultimate law that transcends everything.

Faced with this absolute power, the bottom line of humanity is put to the most severe test.

Just as he was enjoying this ultimate tranquility that ordinary people could hardly attain.

The [Police God System] in his mind vibrated violently once again.

That translucent panel that accompanied him through countless days and nights.

It unfolded completely on his retina one last time.

Golden light rapidly converged on the panel.

It transformed into a line of glaring, ultimate multiple-choice questions.

[The host has reached the limit of this plane's capacity, indicating that their merits have been fully realized.]

The will of the world is opening the gates of its highest dimensional authority to you.

[Does the host choose to immediately ascend to immortality and take over the highest divine position in this world?]

Look at this ultimate pop-up window that's enough to drive anyone crazy.

In Lu Jingyan's deep black eyes, there was neither ecstasy nor hesitation.

He simply narrowed his eyes slightly.

A dangerous yet clear-headed glint flashed in his eyes.

"Boss, why aren't you saying anything? Is the light so bright it's making you dizzy?"

Zhao Tiezhu, standing to the side, was so anxious that he scratched his head and shouted loudly.

Lu Jingyan turned his head and looked at Zhao Tiezhu, whose face was full of worry.

He looked down at his black special forces uniform, which, though dusty, was still crisp and neat.

He gave a cold laugh, which sounded particularly arrogant in the night wind.

"Tiezhu, do you think that the gods, who are high above us, are more powerful in this world?"

"Do you think our uniforms fit us better?"
