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

After the energy shockwave subsided, the research lab was filled with smoke and dust, and the pungent smell of burning food mixed with the turbulent energy flow rushed towards us.

Black smoke billowed from the shattered wreckage of the equipment, sparks flew from the circuit boards, and metal fragments were scattered all over the ground. Several researchers were knocked to the ground by the shockwave, their arms or foreheads bleeding. They struggled but could not get up, and could only groan softly while clutching their wounds, their eyes filled with fear and helplessness.

The ancient coin floated in mid-air, surrounded by a turbulent energy current half a meter in diameter that spun wildly, like an out-of-control vortex, swirling up fragments from the ground and causing them to collide in mid-air with a piercing, sharp sound.

Its surroundings shone with such intense light that it was impossible to look directly at it. The patterns on the wall were pressed down until they were dull and lifeless, as if they had lost all their spirituality. This made the small coin seem to contain an inviolable supreme will.

"We need to find a way to stabilize it!" A researcher wearing glasses struggled to sit up, most of his glasses shattered, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his voice urgent yet weak.

Upon hearing this, Liu Jing's expression instantly turned serious. Her fingertips rapidly formed hand seals, and pale golden purifying power condensed into three thick chains that coiled around the ancient coin like swimming dragons.

But as soon as the chains touched the outer energy turbulence, they were violently repelled by an invisible, violent force. The chains broke inch by inch, turning into specks of golden light that dissipated into the air without leaving even a ripple.

Liu Jing staggered, clutching her chest, a trickle of crimson blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, her face instantly turning as pale as paper.

She could clearly feel the purifying power within her body trembling violently. This was the first time since she inherited the Dao of Purification that she had been so violently attacked by energy, and even her soul felt numb.

"Teacher Liu!" Upon seeing this, Zhao Lei instinctively rushed over to help her, but Shen Che grabbed him.

Shen Che frowned, the power of the Great Dao surging around him, and the short blade in his palm hummed. He dared not step forward rashly, but could only stare at the crazed ancient coin with great vigilance. His voice was low and deep: "Don't be impulsive. Getting close now is suicide. The energy turbulence will tear you to pieces."

Just then, heavy footsteps came from the corridor, their steady and powerful thuds on the ground drowning out the chaotic noise inside.

A middle-aged man in a dark uniform strode in, the cuffs of which were embroidered with dark gold patterns that swayed slightly with his steps. His gait was steady, and a faint aura of authority emanated from him.

It was Qin Mu, the director of the Zhongzhou branch of the Shouzhen Bureau.

"Director!" The people at the scene, including Shouzhen and the staff, bowed simultaneously, their voices filled with urgency and reliance, as if they had grasped at the last straw.

Qin Mu nodded slightly, his gaze instantly locking onto the floating ancient coin, his eyes deep and unfathomable. He raised his hand and pressed down, a thick, mountain-like energy slowly enveloping the ancient coin, attempting to suppress the raging turbulence.

But the moment this energy touched the aura of the ancient coin, it was instantly repelled, sending a shiver down Qin Mu's spine. His brows furrowed even more deeply: "This contains the primordial power of the Great Dao. Suppressing it will only trigger a reaction. I can feel its energy is nearing its breaking point; it's about to explode a second time. Everyone evacuate immediately!"

Before he finished speaking, Shen Che had already rushed to the corner, helped the two less seriously injured researchers, and retreated towards the door. Zhao Lei also reacted, striding out while shouting, "Hurry up! Don't get blown to bits by this thing!"

Amid the chaos, Lu Yu remained standing still. He gazed at the floating ancient coins, feeling as if an invisible force was pulling him along, like a magnet attracting iron.

He could clearly feel that the glow of the ancient coins did not repel him in the slightest, and that the violent energy was not malicious, but was simply resisting external coercion, like a frightened but harmless beast.

"Lu Yu! Run!" Liu Jing shouted back, her eyes filled with worry, wanting to rush back and pull him away.

Lu Yu did not respond. He gritted his teeth, his gaze resolute, and walked step by step toward the floating ancient coin through the flying metal fragments.

The turbulent energy grazed the hem of his clothes, creating tiny creases, but it didn't harm him in the slightest. Instead, it seemed to have a life of its own, automatically making way for him, as if he were part of that energy itself.

Qin Mu's pupils constricted slightly upon seeing this. He was about to speak to stop him when he saw Lu Yu reach out and grab the scalding hot ancient coin.

"Watch out!" Before Qin Mu could finish speaking, a dazzling light suddenly burst forth, like a rising sun, instantly filling the entire research lab.

Everyone instinctively closed their eyes, their ears filled only with the deafening roar of energy. But just 0.1 seconds later, the violent energy instantly subsided, surging into Lu Yu's palm like a tide and disappearing without a trace.

Everyone present was stunned—the Purification Dao within Liu Jing's body suddenly fluctuated violently, revealing an instinctive submission that made her subconsciously lower her head; the short blade in Shen Che's hand hummed, the engraved patterns on it dimmed and lost their former sharpness; Qin Mu's aura was forced to subside, his eyes filled with disbelief, he had never seen any power that made everyone's Dao power so awed; the cold-faced man in the corner wiping his longsword, the longsword in his hand engraved with runes was trembling slightly, as if conveying complex emotions.

The slight energy emanating from this ancient coin caused all the guardians present to feel an instinctive awe and submission to the power of the Great Dao.

As the golden light gradually faded, Lu Yu's body went limp and he collapsed. The ancient coins disappeared with him as he fell, as if they had merged into his body.

In the instant his consciousness sank, Lu Yu felt a dizzying sensation as the world spun around him. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in the world of the Hub of Myriad Paths.

Lu Yu climbed the starlight staircase step by step and stepped into the entrance of the Rubik's Cube Compass.

The road beneath your feet is woven from countless tiny threads of light. The seven colors of light—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—intertwine and entwine like a flowing rainbow, forming a stable yet ever-changing surface.

Even more bizarrely, these roads are constantly being reassembled and pieced together. One second they are straight passages, and the next they suddenly break off, extending new paths from both sides, crisscrossing and unpredictable. It is as if if you take a wrong step, you will fall into endless darkness and never be able to find your way back.

"I can't be afraid, I have to keep going." Lu Yu took a deep breath, silently repeating his grandmother's instructions, thinking about protecting his parents, protecting his friends, and finding his grandmother's obsession. His eyes became firm.

Without further hesitation, he strode off toward the core of the Rubik's Cube.

The road beneath his feet was constantly being reassembled, sometimes requiring him to leap over sudden gaps. In the instant his center of gravity shifted, he instinctively reached out to steady himself against the void, and the filaments of light automatically condensed into a brief fulcrum.

Sometimes he needs to glide along the sloping light filament. He bends down and lowers his center of gravity, his fingertips brushing against the light filament, feeling a warm touch.

Sometimes, you even have to maintain your balance on a tumbling surface, with your feet pressed tightly against the light filaments, letting your body rotate with the road, and adjusting your posture by instinct.

Countless times, he seemed to be about to fall into darkness, but he always managed to escape danger by relying on his inner thoughts and instinctive reactions.

After running for an unknown amount of time, the surrounding light gradually became denser, and the speed at which the road reassembled slowed down, eventually converging into a half-open stone door in front of him.

The stone gate was carved from an unknown type of blue jade, covered with ancient patterns that resembled symbols from the beginning of time, exuding a faint aura of chaos.

Lu Yu reached out and pushed open the stone door. A warm and gentle aura rushed out, completely different from the violent energy in the research room. It carried the purity and weight of the birth of life, as if he had stepped into another time and space.

Before Lu Yu could even see what was inside the door, a huge shadow suddenly loomed over him.

It was a thick snake tail, its scales gleaming with a cold, dark blue light. Each scale was the size of a palm, with fine lines along its edges. The tip of the tail swept through the air with a whooshing sound, lashing straight toward his chest.
