376: His legend has become a myth.Lower District, Block 74.

The former ruins had now transformed into a towering ”Temple of Truth.”

There was no more acid rain, no more darkness.

Silver ”Psionic Streetlamps” illuminated every corner. Children ran through the streets, and mechanical prosthetics were no longer a symbol of status, but simple tools.

Rumble—!!!

The massive vortex in the sky spun faster and faster.

Purple-black thunder, like wildly dancing dragons, tore through the clouds, pressing down toward the ground with a pressure enough to destroy the world.

That was the wrath from The Fifth Layer.

It was the Creator’s judgment upon these ”prison breakers.”

”Ah! The sky is falling!”

”It’s divine punishment! Divine punishment is coming!”

The crowd began to stir, panic spreading like a plague.

Countless people knelt on the ground, kowtowing to the sky, begging for forgiveness.

This was the servility carved into their genes for tens of thousands of years.

”Stand up!”

A roar exploded in everyone’s ears through the city-wide broadcast system.

Jack stood at the highest point of the temple.

The mechanical arm that Lu Chen had personally ”consecrated” was now radiating a dazzling golden light.

He was no longer that submissive little thug; now, he was the ”Watcher” of the Lower District.

”Everyone, stand up!”

Jack pointed at the apocalyptic scene overhead, his eyes devoid of fear, filled only with fanaticism.

”Teacher said!”

”If your knees soften, your spine breaks!”

”What divine punishment? What Creator?”

”In front of Teacher, those are all...”

Jack took a deep breath, imitating Lu Chen’s tone, and roared out that rebellious sentence:

”Those are just pigs waiting to be slaughtered!”

”Look!”

Jack suddenly pointed toward the Xinghe Group headquarters building floating in the clouds.

”Teacher... is watching us!”

The crowd subconsciously looked up.

They saw at the top of that black building.

A figure stood proudly, facing the thunder and storms that filled the sky.

He was very small.

Before the might of heaven and earth, he was like a grain of dust.

But in everyone’s retinas, that figure was infinitely magnified at this moment.

He wore a black trench coat and held a sword in one hand.

Facing the vortex that was enough to crush the world, he even... lit a cigarette.

“Phew—”

Lu Chen exhaled a ring of smoke.

The smoke curled upward, actually forming a giant, extremely arrogant ”middle finger” gesture at the top of the building.

“Pfft.”

Su Qingying, standing behind him, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“Even at a time like this, you don’t forget to show off?”

“This isn’t called showing off.”

Lu Chen flicked the cigarette ash, looking at the city below shrouded in silver light.

He looked at the people who had stood up again because of his appearance, hope rekindling in their eyes.

“This is called...”

“Giving the believers a little confidence.”

Lu Chen turned around.

Wang Peng (Fatty) was directing hundreds of robots, moving all the core data, rare minerals, and tons upon tons of gold that Xinghe Group had scavenged over the past few months onto the Xuanyuan.

“Fatty, hurry up.”

Lu Chen urged, “Don’t dawdle. The Big Boss has already opened the door for us; it would be impolite if we arrive late.”

“Right away! Right away!”

Wang Peng was sweating profusely from exhaustion, but his face was full of the excitement of having ”made a fortune.”

“Brother Chen, we’ve really fleeced the Fourth Layer clean this time! If we take these technologies back, our Earth Federation can take off directly!”

“Take them back?”

Lu Chen shook his head.

He walked to Wang Peng’s side and casually picked up a crystal engraved with ”Metaverse Underlying Logic” from the pile of treasures.

“No need to take it back.”

“Huh?” Wang Peng was stunned.

Lu Chen gave it a casual toss.

That priceless crystal traced a parabola, falling from a height of ten thousand meters.

It fell straight toward the ”Temple of Truth” in the Lower District.

“Leave it for them.”

Lu Chen looked down at Jack, who was moved to tears.

“I am just a passing guest.”

“All I can give them is a key to unlock their shackles.”
