Some people knelt down and kowtowed, tears streaming down their faces, begging for mercy.
Some people had ferocious expressions and ran away as fast as they could, wanting nothing more than to escape this place of judgment;
Some even had bloodshot eyes, brandishing sharp blades, intending to defy this overwhelming divine might!
But—the ending was exactly the same!
Under the immortal's immense power, whether begging for mercy, fleeing, or resisting...
They were all annihilated, their bodies and souls destroyed, reduced to ashes!
The music ended.
The crowd on the playground remained rooted to the spot, their souls lingering, unable to shake off the breathtaking scene.
"Eh—!" A long sigh escaped her lips.
The white-robed immortal, who had been seated on the zither platform, rose gracefully, his feet treading on the void. He walked to the edge of the stage, hands behind his back, and, scanning the crowd, decisively declared:
"It's just a few illusions, yet you've become so engrossed in them that you can't extricate yourself!"
He paused, then shook his head. "Without a firm mind and unsettled nature, it is difficult to cultivate the Great Dao!"
These words were like a refreshing spring, instantly waking everyone up, their faces flushed with heat and shame.
"Why is the immortal so certain?" Su Xiaoqiang, who was in the front row, asked.
She looked up at the white-robed immortal.
The white-robed immortal turned his gaze to Su Xiaoqiang and said calmly:
"I possess supernatural powers, enabling me to perceive the hearts of people! Do you understand what I mean?"
"Does that immortal know what I'm thinking?" Su Xiaoqiang asked again.
The white-robed immortal smiled calmly:
"Are you wondering if I am really Lu Mingfei?"
"Then may I ask, Immortal, why do I think this way?" Su Xiaoqiang pressed on.
The white-robed immortal said leisurely:
"Because you like Lu Mingfei."
"Then may I ask, Immortal..."
"Qiangqiang, stop asking!" Before Su Xiaoqiang could finish speaking, her mother covered her mouth.
Seeing this, the white-robed immortal lightly waved his sleeve and said calmly:
"It's alright, let her ask!"
Upon hearing this, Su's mother glanced at the white-robed immortal before slowly releasing her grip.
"Then I'll be blunt: are you Lu Mingfei or not?" Su Xiaoqiang asked directly.
The white-robed immortal was not annoyed, and calmly asked in return, "Do you remember the poem I recited earlier?"
Su Xiaoqiang nodded: "I remember!"
What is the last sentence?
"Now I know I am a celestial being!" she blurted out.
The white-robed immortal asked with great interest:
"Then tell me, am I Lu Mingfei?"
Su Xiaoqiang fell silent, even though she was certain that the white-robed immortal before her was Lu Mingfei.
Why would Lu Mingfei play these roundabout games with her?
And they even put on this grand piano performance.
There must be a reason why Lu Ming insisted on doing this.
The white-robed immortal is none other than Lu Mingfei.
He looked up at the surging dark clouds that were covering the huge cross-shaped crack he had previously made.
He frowned slightly and said unhappily:
Did I tell you to close it?
"Give me—disperse!!"
Suddenly, the surging dark clouds stopped, as if the entire sky had been frozen in place.
Immediately afterwards...
"Boom!" It wasn't thunder, but a silent roar, like space shattering, that exploded in everyone's minds!
The thick clouds in the sky seemed to be torn apart and swept away by an invisible giant hand!
The blazing sunlight, now unobstructed, poured down like a giant waterfall of light, instantly enveloping the entire city and every corner of the playground in boundless golden radiance!
The thick clouds in the sky transformed into a clear blue sky in less than five seconds.
Everyone!
Students, parents, and soldiers standing at attention with their guns were all utterly shocked by this earth-shaking "miracle."
The body stiffened, the soul trembled.
Unable to speak, I could only rely on instinct, desperately widening my eyes to look at the suddenly appearing clear blue sky.
Looking down at the people below, bathed in sunlight, standing there dumbfounded.
Lu Mingfei revealed a satisfied expression, and slowly spoke, his ethereal voice once again drifting across the sky:
"I possess the method to become an immortal!"
"The first is the 'Way of Slaughter and Brutality.' Those who wish to cultivate this way must have a firm will, use righteousness as their blade, cut down evil and punish wickedness, and thus prove the Great Way."
"The second is the 'Way of the Stars.' Those who wish to cultivate this way must have a firm will, temper their bodies with the power of the stars, forge an indestructible body, and prove the Great Way."
"However, no matter what path one takes, one must have a firm will, otherwise one will surely bring disaster to the world."
"Do you... understand?"
This question, imbued with a sense of spiritual shock, seemed to strike deep into the soul of everyone.
After a brief silence, like dry tinder being ignited, the emotions across the entire playground were set ablaze, erupting in a tremendous response, soaring through the sky with fervor and determination:
"clear--!!!"
The roar was so powerful that it seemed to shake even the clouds in the heavens above!
Standing in the light, Lu Mingfei's figure began to slowly rise.
He closed his eyes slightly, looked up at the sky, and recited:
"I was originally a celestial being from the highest heavens, but my obsession has trapped me in the mortal realm."
"Once you see your true nature, you will shatter the fierce winds and return to the heavens!"
After reciting the poem, he suddenly asked himself a question, his voice echoing like a gentle breeze through an empty valley:
"Who am I?"
Before anyone could answer, the ethereal voice suddenly changed its tone:
"I am Lu Mingfei!"
"Ha ha—!" he laughed loudly, "Let's go, let's go!"
Lu Mingfei's speed suddenly increased, and in an instant he soared over a hundred meters into the air.
Then, the entire figure flashed in a dazzling golden light, like a shattered starlight, and vanished into the clear sky in an instant, leaving only the scorching sunlight and the still-shaking shock echoing between heaven and earth.
On the playground.
Deathly silence.
Everyone was speechless, and could only stare blankly at the empty, azure sky.
On the stage, the three girls dressed in black combat uniforms had somehow appeared, standing silently at the edge of the stage, lined up in a row.
Their movements were synchronized, with a slight bow and respectful posture; their voices, though clear and cool, contained an air of reverence.
"Respectfully seeing off our lord!"
The announcement was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up echoes throughout the entire playground.
"Respectfully bidding farewell to the Immortal!!" Ten thousand people shouted in unison, the sound waves sweeping across the sky like a tsunami!
Countless eyes blazed with fanatical light.
At this moment, whether it was his classmates who used to scorn Lu Mingfei or his aunt who disliked him, everyone was in awe.
After this mind-blowing "miracle" occurred.
All prejudice, contempt, and even malice were utterly crushed, transformed into the deepest reverence and heartfelt...faith!
No one dared to harbor even the slightest disrespect towards that being named Lu Mingfei.
This is a crucial part of Lu Mingfei's plan.
From the moment the system returned, he meticulously planned this "performance".
He manifests his divine power before the people, and ascends to heaven to become an immortal!
Therefore, upon his return, he first contacted the official core.
With a three-year timeframe, it pledged to help them achieve their grand ambition of global unification.
After a period of testing, verification, and negotiation, a deep cooperation was finally reached with the official authorities.
This grand spectacle of "the descent of immortals," a story worthy of being recorded in human history, marked the first major opening of their collaboration.
Lu Mingfei knew all too well that the system's ability to amplify emotions was a double-edged sword.
If we continue down the old path of simply silently executing system tasks without taking the initiative to control the overall situation, we will sooner or later become the enemy of the world and find ourselves in a predicament of being besieged on all sides.
Fortunately, the start was perfect.
Next, the footage was captured by the media on site and disseminated through countless private devices.
