Chapter 646: Chapter 436: We Were Wrong, We Shouldn’t Have Believed Those Lies

Just as the outside world descended into chaos and uproar,

he successfully broke through to the Human Emperor Realm.

At the very moment of his breakthrough, a powerful and mysterious force erupted from within him like a raging tsunami, spreading out in all directions.

At the same time, an incredibly majestic figure appeared before Chu He.

The figure was tall and straight, towering between heaven and earth and exuding an awe-inspiring aura.

Behind it, a crimson sun slowly rose. Golden light spread out like a tidal wave, bathing the entire space in a sacred and solemn radiance. It was as if the entire world was celebrating Chu He’s breakthrough.

Although he couldn’t make out the figure’s face, Chu He could clearly sense it smiling at him with kindness and benevolence.

It was a smile filled with an elder’s appreciation and pride for an outstanding successor, as if to say, ‘You have done well. It is up to you to forge the path ahead. The hope of the Human Race now rests on your shoulders.’

Chu He’s heart stirred as realization dawned on him. He murmured to himself, ‘So my system… it’s the legacy of the will and spirit you left behind. Your wisdom and power have guided me to this day.’

His voice was filled with the awe and reverence of his sudden epiphany.

Now, with his breakthrough,

Chu He had mastered the vast and precious knowledge passed down through generations of the Human Race. His eyes shone with confidence and determination, granting him the courage and resolve to overcome anything.

Chu He slowly walked out of the manor, exuding an aura of majesty so intense that no one could meet his gaze. He looked upon the furious crowd, his expression calm yet carrying an undeniable authority. Beneath that placid exterior lay a resolute and powerful heart.

He channeled his power, allowing his voice to carry clearly to every corner. “This so-called ‘massacre footage’ was fabricated by the Bright Holy See! It is their conspiracy! I, Chu He, swear on my honor and my faith that I have never committed such a heinous act!”

His voice boomed like a great bell, reverberating over the crowd with a soul-stirring power.

At his words, the crowd, which had been roaring like a cauldron of boiling oil, fell silent for a moment before erupting into an even more fervent debate, like a boulder thrown into a placid lake, sending ripples spreading in every direction.

An older woman selling vegetables had a hesitant look on her face, her eyes betraying her inner conflict and contemplation.

She shook her head slightly and said softly, “I’ve lived in Great Xia my whole life, and I’ve always believed Chu He is a good man, a trustworthy hero. Maybe he really was framed. The Bright Holy See has always been sinister and treacherous. What wouldn’t they be capable of?”

She wiped her hands on her apron as she spoke, trying to sort through her thoughts and find the truth amid the chaos.

However, a young student’s face was filled with doubt, marked by the impulsiveness and brashness typical of youth.

He stepped forward, straightened his posture, and retorted loudly, “So you say the video is fake, and we’re just supposed to believe you? Who’s going to believe empty words without proof? The scenes in that video were so realistic, every detail was horrifying! Give us a reasonable explanation! If you don’t give us a satisfactory answer today, we absolutely will not let this go!”

His clear, loud voice stood out from the crowd, and his eyes were filled with an urgent desire for the truth and a deep mistrust of Chu He.

When the Martial Artists on security detail heard Chu He’s words, a glimmer of hope instantly flashed through their eyes, which had been as dull as dead embers—like seeing the first light of dawn in the darkness.

The young Martial Artist’s face lit up, his eyes sparkling with excitement. He couldn’t help but exclaim, “I knew Lord Chu He would never do something like this! I’ve always had faith in his character. He’s our role model, our conviction! This is all a conspiracy by the Bright Holy See! We can’t let them blind us!”

His voice was filled with excitement and joy. It was as if a great weight had been lifted from his heart, and his entire being radiated a newfound vitality.

The older Martial Artist also nodded slightly, a look of guilt on his face. His eyes revealed deep remorse for having doubted Chu He earlier.

He said quietly, “It seems we misjudged Lord Chu He. He has always been open and honorable in his actions. How could he possibly commit such a heinous act? We should trust him and stand with him against the Bright Holy See’s conspiracy.”

He shook his head slightly, reproaching himself for his moment of doubt, and silently resolved to stand firmly by Chu He’s side.

Chu He felt a deep sense of gratification toward those who chose to believe him. He gave them a slight nod, his eyes conveying his gratitude.

As for those who remained skeptical and unwilling to believe, Chu He wasted no more breath trying to convince them.

He had more important matters to attend to.

Then, his figure vanished on the spot.

…

In an underground bunker within the Great Xia Empire, as hidden as a secret lair, dim lights flickered, threatening to go out at any moment. They cast an oppressive and mysterious pall over the slightly cramped space where the genius programmer Lin Wanwan found herself.
