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

An eerie calm permeated the room.

The bean vines intertwine and form dense trellises, which are laden with plump bean pods. The green ones gleam with oil, while the yellow ones are slightly cracked, revealing red, blue, green, yellow, and gold beans inside. The air is filled with a rich yet slightly sweet bean fragrance that can make one dizzy if you smell it for too long.

"Be careful." Sun Ruliang stared at the detection instrument. The energy curve on the screen was jumping around erratically. "The energy readings of these beans keep changing, and the fluctuations are huge, as if they could explode at any moment."

The five people stepped into the trellis in battle formation. The bean vines were lush and dense, blocking out the sun. After only a few steps, they completely lost their way. The intertwined vines formed a natural maze, and the rustling of the branches and leaves made a sound like someone was watching from the shadows.

About ten minutes later, Liu Jiaqi suddenly stopped, a faint golden light emanating from her fingertips, and pointed to a thick bean vine: "We're going in circles. Look, this is the mark I left just now."

"Another maze."

Lin Yue raised his hand and pressed it on the bean vine. A faint green light surged as he tried to use his power of wood control to make the vine move aside, but the bean vine did not budge. In fact, it even showed a faint resistance. "These are not ordinary plants. My power of the Great Dao cannot penetrate them at all."

"This constant going around in circles is so annoying!"

Zhao Changfeng, already seething with anger, finally erupted. A pale blue wind blade condensed in his palm, which he fiercely slashed at the bean vine blocking his path, "Cut a path through it!"

The moment the wind blade severed the bean vine, a milky white liquid suddenly gushed out from the break, splashing towards Zhao Changfeng like a fountain. He couldn't dodge in time, and most of the liquid splashed onto his left arm, instantly causing a piercing burning pain.

"ah--!"

Zhao Changfeng screamed in agony. Everyone turned to look and saw that the skin on his arm was visibly red, swollen, and blistering, then ulcerated and oozing pus. The milky white liquid continued to corrode the flesh like strong acid, and even the hair instantly turned to ash.

Liu Jiaqi's expression changed drastically. She rushed forward and poured out healing light from her fingertips. However, as soon as the pale golden light touched the milky white liquid, it dimmed quickly like a piece of paper that had been ignited. It was even corroded and retreated step by step, unable to get close to the wound at all.

"This liquid can corrode energy!"

Sun Ruliang reacted quickly, pulling out a special neutralizing agent from his backpack and spraying it rapidly onto Zhao Changfeng's arm. The moment the white foam covered the wound, the rate of corrosion slowed abruptly, but Zhao Changfeng's arm was already a bloody mess, revealing white bone fragments. He trembled all over in pain, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

Even more devastating changes followed!

Suddenly the entire trellis shook violently, all the bean pods tensed up at the same time, and "crackling" sounds rose and fell as countless beans shot out like a dense barrage of bullets!

The red bean exploded the moment it hit the rock, sending shards of rock flying everywhere;

The blue bean fell to the ground and instantly froze into a layer of ice, hindering movement.

Green beans explode and release toxic fumes with a pungent, fishy smell;

Yellow beans take root as soon as they land, and instantly grow into thick bean vines, blocking all escape routes.

"Scatter and take cover!"

Shen Che acted decisively, unleashing a torrent of shadowy figures that surged forth, forming a shield that devoured the incoming red beans and green poisonous mist. However, with each bean consumed, the shadows dimmed, clearly being drained of their energy. "Don't take it head-on, find the pattern!"

"The color of beans... corresponds to the Five Elements!"

While dodging the blue ice beans, Lin Yue quickly observed, "Red fire, blue water, green wood, yellow earth, but what is gold?"

Before he could finish speaking, a golden bean grazed his shoulder and struck the bean vine behind him. The vine withered and turned black instantly, but the next second, countless new vines sprouted wildly from the withered spot, several times thicker than before, with barbs that wrapped around his ankle. Startled, he hurriedly urged the vines to defend himself, but the barbs cut his calf.

"Metal overcomes wood, but wood can regenerate; this is a trap of mutual generation and restraint!"

Shen Che's voice echoed through the trellis, and his Shadow Hunting power surged once more, blocking a swarm of soybean vines that were attacking him. "Sun Ruliang, record the order in which the beans are launched!"

Sun Ruliang huddled behind a sturdy trellis, his hands flying across the instrument. A color sequence instantly appeared on the screen: "Red, blue, green, yellow, gold, and then repeat... wait, the order changes, but the changes are regular, like... a variant of the Fibonacci sequence..."

"I'll give it a try!"

Lin Yue closed his eyes, pressing his hands firmly against the bean vine beside him, releasing his wood-controlling power without reservation. In his mind, the life pulse of the bean vine was no longer chaotic, but rhythmic like a drumbeat. The timing of the bean's release was precisely at the peak of the rhythm. "I can sense the life pulse of the vine! I can predict the time and color of the next release! Follow me!"

He snapped his eyes open, his feet landing with precise strides, narrowly avoiding a red explosive bean hurtling towards him: "Captain Shen, protect the left flank; Zhao Changfeng, use your wind blade to cleave the yellow vines ahead; Liu Jiaqi, watch out for the antidote mist; Sun Ruliang, announce the next group's order!"

For the next five minutes, the five people danced like knife tips in a rain of five-colored beans.

Lin Yue's footsteps were precisely timed to the intervals between the movements. With each turn, he avoided the pods that were about to be launched. Occasionally, he would deliberately leave space so that the blue ice pods could hit the red pods in front of him, using the freezing effect to prevent them from exploding and forcefully blasting open a path.

Despite the excruciating pain in his arm, Zhao Changfeng used the wind blades, which carried a chilling aura, to cleave through the entangled yellow bean vines. However, due to his slightly slow movement, a blue ice bean grazed his thigh and instantly froze into an ice shell, causing him to grimace in pain.

While using healing light to protect Zhao Changfeng's wounds, Liu Jiaqi dodged the green poisonous mist. She accidentally inhaled a mouthful and immediately coughed violently, her face turned blue, and she had difficulty breathing, but she still forced herself to output a faint light to purify the toxins.

Shen Che's Shadow Shield continuously devoured the incoming beans, the shadows grew fainter and fainter, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, yet he always kept the most dangerous golden bean bullet in front of everyone—the bean's regenerative ability was too troublesome, and if it hit the core of the trellis, it would only lead to an even more difficult predicament.

Sun Ruliang followed closely behind, continuously announcing the adjusted color order: "Next group, blue, green, gold, red, yellow! Watch out for the gold beans; they'll regenerate on the right-hand trellis!"

Lin Yue immediately responded, "Captain Shen, destroy the unripe bean pods on the right!"

The shadowy figure instantly transformed into several sharp blades, precisely severing the green bean pods on the right-hand trellis. After the golden beans missed their target, only tiny vines sprouted on the ground, which were instantly swept away by Zhao Changfeng's wind blades.

Finally, after another round of bean rain, the trellis suddenly parted to the sides, revealing the center of the maze—there were no entwined vines there, only a short bean sprout about half a foot tall, with only a lone five-colored bean pod at the top. Red, blue, green, yellow, and gold patterns flowed on the pod, exuding pure ancient energy.

The pods split open automatically, and five beans of different colors flew out as if by magic, precisely merging into the bodies of the five people.

A warm current instantly swept over his entire body. Lin Yue felt that his control over wood had broken through its shackles, and his power of the Great Dao had reached the 4th-star Imperial Dao Realm.
