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

The space of the illusion became increasingly distorted and grotesque. Lu Yu walked forward "suspended" on the array's veins. The pale blue ripples under his feet became more and more chaotic. The illusory mist was swirled wildly by the energy turbulence, slapping against his face like ice shards cutting through him, making his eyes red. He did not hesitate for a moment.

His only goal is the key point of the formation representing the seven deadly sins, "envy."

Chen Mo's previous observations had already pinpointed the area of ​​concentrated energy, and now the strange phenomena in that region were becoming increasingly terrifying:

The pale purple energy turbulence surged and crashed wildly like boiling magma, with a fist-sized crystal suspended at its center—the very core of the Jealousy Array.

Affected by the collapse of the illusion, the patterns on the surface of the crystal flickered violently, sometimes so bright that they blew the light out of the eye, turning the surrounding illusory mist into an eerie purple, and sometimes as dark as death. Even the energy circulation became intermittent, like the weak pulse of a dying person, which could stop completely at any moment.

"The core of the formation itself can no longer hold!"

Lu Yu was overjoyed, and the dual Dao powers in his palms resonated instantly. The azure array patterns spread along the turbulent energy flow, tightly binding the crystal like a spider web, temporarily restraining the chaotic energy;

The true power of pale gold condensed into a fine needle, precisely piercing the most vulnerable crack on the surface of the crystal—that was the flaw that Chen Mo had discerned and locked onto, and also the fatal weakness exposed by the imbalance of the illusion.

"Follow the order of the array, dispel illusion and reveal truth!"

Lu Yu gave a low shout, his voice shrouded in the turbulent energy, yet it conveyed an undeniable determination.

The blue-green veins drilled into the crystal along the cracks, severing the chaotic energy cycle like a sharp blade; the power of truth burned like a raging fire, scorching the illusory origin within the crystal, and pale golden flames burst forth from the cracks, sizzling and turning the surrounding pale purple mist into wisps of smoke that dissipated.

The already crumbling Jealousy Array core, unable to withstand the strain, cracked with a sharp "crack," and surface cracks spread rapidly like a spiderweb. The next second, the crystal shattered with a deafening roar, and the pale purple energy turbulence instantly dissipated, turning into countless specks of light that vanished into the air.

As the "jealousy" array shattered, the madness in the eyes of the remaining students, who were still shrouded in the mist of jealousy, finally receded like a receding tide.

Someone shook their head, looking bewildered, and rubbed their throbbing temples, muttering to themselves, "What... happened to me just now?"

Lu Yu had just breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly heard Liu Jing's urgent, hoarse shout from behind:

"Lu Yu! Look over there!"

He turned his head and looked around; his heart sank to the bottom.

A menacing crack suddenly appeared in the wall of the teaching building not far away. Dense, dark red energy, like an erupting volcano, surged out with a violent aura and condensed in the air into another crystal—the array eye representing "rage" appeared on its own!

Clearly, the shattering of the Jealousy Array Eye completely destroyed the balance of the illusion. This hidden array eye was detonated prematurely, and the energy around it was several times more violent than that of the Jealousy Array Eye. Dark red mist flowed along the walls, and wherever it passed, the students' emotions instantly spiraled out of control.

"I'm so annoyed! Why?!"

A boy wearing glasses suddenly roared and charged at his classmate, his eyes filled with nothing but bloodthirsty ferocity.

"You all look down on me!"

Another girl was clutching her hair and crying out in despair. Her fingertips were already twisting, and her nails were digging deep into her scalp, bleeding without her noticing.

"I've had enough! I've put up with you for too long!"

Further away, several boys were wrestling, their fists whistling as they pounded into each other's bodies, roaring out their pent-up resentment.

More and more students were being permeated by the aura of the executors, and the signs of becoming ethereal were more intense than before. The light mist was almost condensing into tangible tentacles. Liu Jing's purification power had already been exhausted. She held Su Wan tightly in her arms. Su Wan's face was as pale as paper, and there was still blood foam at the corner of her mouth. She didn't even have the strength to open her eyes. She could only lean on Liu Jing's shoulder and tremble unconsciously.

Lu Yu had just broken through the Jealousy Array Eye when he looked at the "Rage" Array Eye, which was so close yet incredibly violent, and glanced at the increasing number of students about to undergo mutations. He was so anxious that he broke out in a sweat.

The dark red crystal was clearly a hundred meters away, but the spatial illusion was still stubborn. The energy veins under his feet twisted and tangled, and he could only try to move forward by following the logic of the array. Every step felt like stepping on a knife's edge, and he couldn't get there in time!

"Chen Mo! Can you calculate a shortcut for me to reach the core of the formation?" Liu Jing roared, her voice filled with desperate anxiety.

The sharp lines in Chen Mo's eyes burned like gold, his fingers gesturing wildly in the air, cold sweat dripping from his forehead and down his chin.

"No! The energy field at the raging array's core is distorting space; the angle of refraction keeps changing, making it impossible to calculate a stable trajectory!"

Chen Mo's voice was unusually urgent. He exerted all his power of insight, but could only watch helplessly as the dark red mist grew thicker and thicker.

Liu Jing gritted her teeth, gently placed Su Wan in a relatively safe corner, and turned to rush towards the raging array's core.

But she had only taken two steps when she was bounced back by a spatial illusion, crashing heavily onto the "ground." The purifying light in her palm completely extinguished. She struggled to her feet, her knees bleeding, but she still wanted to charge forward again, her eyes filled with an unwilling stubbornness—

She is a teacher, a guardian of truth, and has guarded this school for so many years, watching each class of students grow from ignorance to maturity. Even though most of them are ethereal spirits who have not yet triggered their instincts, in her heart they are all children worth protecting. How could she just stand by and watch them become pointless sacrifices?

This was the most powerless she had ever felt.

In the battle at the mall, she could accurately lock onto the ethereal spirits present and confidently unleash her Purifying Rain; when the auto repair shop was in danger, she could cleave the Executor's shadow with a single sword strike. But now, she couldn't break free from the spatial illusion of the advanced illusion, couldn't soothe the thousands of trapped souls of the teachers and students who were about to undergo mutation, and couldn't even touch the array eye that was clearly not far away. She could only watch as the Executor's aura spread like a poisonous vine, entwining those vibrant lives.

Just then, an even more intense, bone-chilling cold pierced through the rift in the illusion, and the executor's pressure crashed down like Mount Tai—and there was more than one! Their auras were already close at hand, clearly having locked onto the helpless people in reality, and the shadow of death completely enveloped this world.

Liu Jing suddenly looked up, and the despair in her eyes instantly turned into determination.

She slowly stood up, her hands forming complex hand seals in front of her chest. Her body gradually floated into the air, and a layer of dazzling golden light suddenly emanated from her. This golden light was no longer gentle, but carried a resolute determination to burn everything. Her hair visibly faded from jet black to frosty white, and fine wrinkles began to creep into the corners of her eyes. Her once warm hands trembled slightly as she formed the hand seals, yet they carried an unshakeable resolve.

"Teacher Liu! No!"

Although Lu Yu did not know exactly what Liu Jing was going to do, he could feel the enormous energy that was about to break the seal, which made the dual power within his body about to explode out of control!

This energy is definitely not something that Teacher Liu Jing, with her mortal body, could control!

Su Wan struggled to sit up, tears blurring her vision, a broken sob escaping her throat, unable to utter a complete word of advice...

Chen Mo's insight line dimmed. Looking at Liu Jing's rapidly aging appearance, he felt for the first time that his abilities were so useless, and he could only watch helplessly as she walked towards sacrifice.

Liu Jing's voice was aged yet resonant, carrying a power that seemed to tear through time and space as she uttered an ancient forbidden incantation:

"The profound origin of heaven and earth, the root of all Qi!"

Zhenwu above, purify the soul!

With my lifeblood, I ignite my potential!

With my lifespan, I offer sacrifice to the Great Dao!

With my divine soul, I invoke Heaven's grace...
