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

The stone door slid open silently, and a vast aura rushed out, a warm yet powerful aura that seemed to cleanse the soul and instantly make one forget the disturbances of the outside world.

The warm white jade stone floor beneath Lu Yu's feet shimmered with a soft, moonlit light. Above him was not a solid dome, but a deep, boundless starry sky, with stars casting their clear light as they flickered, creating dappled shadows within the hall.

Twelve enormous jade pillars, entwined with seven-colored light bands, stood silently, supporting this mysterious palace. Within the light bands on the pillars, the illusory images of mountains, rivers, plants, birds, beasts, fish, and insects appeared endlessly, silently demonstrating the true meaning of the cycle of creation.

In the center of the temple, the majestic figure with a human body and a snake tail was shrouded in a light, chaotic mist, exuding an ancient and benevolent aura, as if witnessing the birth and death of the universe and the rise and fall of all things.

"child."

A warm and weathered voice resonated directly in Lu Yu's heart, carrying a hint of barely perceptible praise, yet also a faint trace of melancholy: "Your aura flows more harmoniously and solidly than ever before. The turmoil and trials of the mortal world have not diminished your will; on the contrary, they have made it like refined gold being tempered, becoming even more resilient and transparent."

Lu Yu bowed respectfully, showing the courtesy due to a junior: "Senior." He then briefly recounted his recent experiences.

Nuwa listened quietly, the chaotic mist around her flowing slightly with her thoughts, as if it contained endless mysteries of time and space.

After Lu Yu finished speaking, she slowly said, "In the vast universe, where there is brilliance, there is also shadow. You need not be anxious about this, nor should you be afraid and back down because of the fog before you. Hold fast to your heart, accumulate strength, and when your wings are fully grown, the day will surely come when the clouds part and the sun shines through."

Her words were like a sweet spring, gently washing away the turmoil and restlessness in Lu Yu's mind caused by a series of events, pressure from all sides, and uncertainty about the future. In the peaceful and expansive atmosphere of the temple, all the urgency of reality seemed to temporarily fade away, leaving only the pursuit of the Great Dao and the questioning of one's own heart.

Lu Yu said no more, and sat quietly on the warm white jade stone floor, guiding the pure energy that was everywhere in the Ten Thousand Paths Hub to nourish himself.

The pale gold power of truth, the blue power of array formation, and the pale green power of herbs—these three origins, like three clearly defined streams, resonate harmoniously under the harmonization of the Spirit Plant Returning to Origin Body. They operate along an increasingly profound trajectory, with each cycle bringing subtle yet solid growth, and the control over power becoming more and more refined.

After an unknown amount of time, when Lu Yu felt his soul was full and his internal energy was flowing smoothly, his consciousness slowly returned to reality. The sky outside the window was already beginning to lighten. The deep meditation of the night had not brought him fatigue, but instead made him feel refreshed and clear-headed, and even the gloom between his brows had largely dissipated.

As dawn broke, the entrance to Zhongzhou No. 11 Middle School returned to its usual bustling state.

Su Wan carried her drawing board and walked briskly into the school gate.

Her experience with the Beijing Art Examination gave her a more confident and composed demeanor. The Tongling Avenue had unconsciously nurtured her temperament, making her appear calm and insightful, with clear, watery eyes. She had lost some of the naivety of an ordinary high school student and gained more of the composure that comes with experience. Walking on campus, she would often attract curious or admiring glances.

However, her good mood was quickly dampened by the sight before her when she approached the senior high school building.

The flower bed where Lu Yu, Zhao Lei, and Chen Mo were located had almost become a small "eye of the storm".

Zhao Lei was surrounded by the most girls. He was wearing a well-fitting tracksuit, and his tall and straight figure, coupled with his sunny and cheerful smile, made him extremely attractive.

Several girls surrounded him, chattering away, offering him water and snacks, and some even asking him about his weekend training plans, their voices full of admiration.

Lu Yu fared slightly better, but he was still surrounded by Li Menglu and two other girls, who were holding history textbooks and ostensibly asking him questions, but their eyes kept falling on his face.

Lu Yu remained calm and patiently answered the questions, but Su Wan, with her keen psychic abilities, noticed a fleeting hint of helplessness in his eyes.

Even the usually aloof Chen Mo had a girl named Lin Xiaoyu standing beside him. She was holding a thick workbook, her cheeks flushed, and she was asking him math questions in a voice barely audible. Her eyes were filled with shyness and earnestness, which contrasted sharply with Chen Mo's indifferent response.

Su Wan stood under the shade of a tree not far away, watching this scene. A very faint, strange emotion inexplicably rose in her heart, like a ripple blown by the wind, fleeting and gone in an instant, which she herself did not delve into.

She shook her head slightly, a faint, bitter smile playing on her lips, and muttered to herself, "...She's really popular."

As soon as she finished speaking, she composed herself, turned around and walked towards the teaching building, suppressing this subtle emotion in her heart.

During the break, Su Wan had just returned to her seat and exchanged a few words with Lu Yu about her experiences with the art exam when her homeroom teacher, Ma Hongmei, walked into the classroom with her lesson plan.

Her gaze, peering through thick glasses, swept across the entire class like a searchlight, instantly locking onto Lu Yu and Su Wan, who were talking.

His long, narrow face darkened, making the dark freckles on his cheeks more prominent, revealing his undisguised displeasure.

"Some students shouldn't think that just because they're a little clever or have some special talent in certain areas, they can neglect their studies!"

Ma Hongmei's voice was chillingly cold. Although she didn't name names, her gaze was fixed on Lu Yu and Su Wan as if it were a physical presence. "In the final stretch of senior year, male and female students must maintain an appropriate distance. Don't bring those bad influences from society into the pure campus! Especially those who just returned from the art exams, you need to focus even more. If you don't pass the academic exams, everything else is meaningless!"

Su Wan frowned, and Lu Yu calmly sat back down in his seat, his heart unmoved. However, he found it hard to respect this kind of paranoid attitude based on personal experience.

The second period was Ma Hongmei's class.

After explaining a point of knowledge, she scanned the classroom with her eyes, finally fixing them on Su Wan, a smile that was almost sarcastic curling at the corners of her lips.

"Su Wan," Ma Hongmei pushed up her glasses, the lenses reflecting a cold light, "you just got back from your art exams, so you might have fallen behind in your studies. I have a comprehensive question here; come to the blackboard and solve it, so the other students can see the academic level of art students. Don't let your academic performance drag you down after you pass the art exams."

As she spoke, she picked up the chalk and wrote a complex problem on the blackboard. The problem involved multiple knowledge points, with complicated steps, clearly exceeding the textbook syllabus, and was obviously deliberately designed to make things difficult.

The classroom fell silent instantly, and everyone looked at Su Wan. Many people were worried for her, and even Li Menglu frowned subconsciously, feeling that Teacher Ma was being too biased.

Su Wan stood up, her face calm and expressionless.

In the past, she might have been nervous facing such advanced questions, but at this moment, she quietly dissolved the last small piece of the calming pill under her tongue, and a cool sensation rushed into her mind. At the same time, her spiritual power circulated slightly, allowing her mind to instantly enter a state of extreme clarity and calmness.

She walked to the blackboard and picked up the chalk.

Ma Hongmei stood to the side with her arms crossed, her eyes scrutinizing her, waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

However, as soon as Su Wan's chalk touched the blackboard, it moved as smoothly as flowing water.

Her thinking was astonishingly clear; every step of the derivation was logically rigorous and interconnected. In one of the intermediate steps, she even used a more ingenious and convenient method not mentioned in textbooks, which instantly simplified the complex calculation process.

The "tap-tap" sound of chalk striking the blackboard was exceptionally clear in the quiet classroom, each sound striking the hearts of everyone present.

Su Wan put down the chalk, turned to face Ma Hongmei, and bowed slightly: "Teacher, I've finished answering."

Ma Hongmei stared at the answer on the blackboard, her facial muscles stiffening for a moment, and the freckles on her cheeks seemed to deepen with embarrassment.

She opened her mouth, wanting to point out some problems, but found herself unable to find any flaws. In fact, the ingenious solution surprised her, and she even felt a sense of enlightenment. Finally, she could only squeeze out two words through gritted teeth: "...Go down."

Time flies, and it's Friday morning in the blink of an eye.

Before the first class even started, Zhao Lei rushed in through the back door of the classroom like a gust of wind, heading straight for Lu Yu's seat. His face was filled with uncontrollable excitement and joy, and he didn't even bother to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

He grabbed Lu Yu's shoulder with such force that he almost lifted Lu Yu from his seat, then lowered his voice, unable to hide his excitement: "Breaking news! My parents finished work early and came home! They just arrived home this morning!"

He paused, his gaze sweeping eagerly over Su Wan not far away, and added, "I told them that you've taken such good care of me lately, even helping me with my studies. They're incredibly grateful and would like to invite you to our home for a casual meal this weekend, to join our family gathering, so they can thank you in person!"

He stared intently at Lu Yu, his tone filled with an undeniable expectation: "You absolutely have to come! My parents specifically told me that I must invite you all; no one is allowed to be absent!"
