Chapter 362: Chapter 362: The True Meaning of Repentance, All Preparations Complete

Why did the main body... betray!?

In the shadow of the northeast corner of the small yard, Lu Chengjian’s shadow clone was blank-minded, leaving only this single thought.

He never expected that one day he would be backstabbed by his own main body.

Simply unbelievable!

We are two in one, sharing interests. If you sell me out, aren’t you cutting off your own way back?

In the brief moment of his slight shock, Pei Jing had already sensed the presence of the shadow clone in the corner, instantly condensing a Space-Time Spear and approaching in a flash, pinning it directly to the ground.

"Ah..."

Lu Chengjian’s shadow clone let out a scream, seemingly being nailed into another dimension, struggling and twisting madly. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Upon witnessing this, Lu Zhan and the others turned pale instantly.

They couldn’t even imagine what Lu Chengjian had gone through in that small room, to so easily disclose his last resort.

This not only severed his own hope but also everyone’s hope!

Quickly, Lu Chengjian walked out from the small room.

Lu Zhan gritted his teeth, staring intently at Lu Chengjian’s face, trying to discern something from it.

"What exactly are you doing?"

"Are you deliberately pretending to surrender, to cover up other moves, or..."

Unfortunately, no matter how Lu Zhan looked at him from all angles, he only saw infinite sincerity on the other’s face, and deep contempt for them...

It was as if he had become a completely different person.

At this moment, Lu Chengjian also walked up to Lu Zhan, and slowly said, "Lu Zhan, it’s your turn. Lighten up, don’t look so on edge, because the sin of cowardice committed by our Tenth District can finally have a chance for redemption now."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhan’s expression relaxed, and he immediately realized that Lu Chengjian must have been subjected to some kind of mind control.

However.

He was different from Lu Chengjian; his spiritual will had been honed to a razor-sharp edge, capable of piercing any illusion. He wanted to see what that young man was really up to!

Thus, Lu Zhan boldly walked into the small room.

Upon seeing Su Qi, his gaze became extremely sharp, as if saying, "Come on, try whatever tricks you have!"

Su Qi didn’t waste words, immediately conjured the Hammer of Repentance, and aimed straight at the opponent’s head.

Bam bam bam!

It must be said that his spiritual will was indeed incredibly tenacious. Su Qi hammered dozens of times in a row, yet still failed to trigger the effect of the Hammer of Repentance.

At this moment, Lu Zhan’s brain was already turning to mush, buzzing incessantly, but he still resisted with all his might.

However, he seemed to discover a terrifying fact; the opponent’s method affected not only his spiritual level but his soul was also subjected to a certain vibration.

The sins committed throughout his life flashed before his eyes, like a slideshow, even generating a self-loathing emotion.

The emotions were piling up, and the soul was being cleansed.

Lu Zhan’s face gradually showed signs of enlightenment, and his contempt for his actions quickly turned into deep gratitude towards Su Qi, and... trust.

"Thank you... my lord, for pulling me back from the path of confusion. Had it not been for this, I fear I would never awaken for the rest of my life, endlessly wallowing in sin."

Su Qi didn’t respond, only gestured for Lu Zhan to bring the others in successively.

Soon, Su Qi used the same method to convert all these individuals into his followers.

During this process, perhaps benefiting from the enhancement of his own realm, Su Qi gradually comprehended the principle of the Hammer of Repentance, and also roughly deduced why it had no effect on non-human aliens.

Previously, he believed that the mental chaos of non-human aliens made it difficult to take effect.

Now it seemed this was only a small part of the reason.

The main reason was that the Hammer of Repentance worked by invoking the target’s remorse, to achieve purification and control.

The heavens have remorse.

Everyone has, at some point, regretted some of their actions, even wrongdoers might feel compassion when they see an innocent child falling into a well.

Often, these fleeting moments of compassion are forcibly suppressed due to interests, but it doesn’t mean they disappear; they are merely accumulated deep within the soul.

Once evoked, they can unleash an extremely terrifying soul-cleansing power within a certain time.

Whereas, non-human aliens commit acts of slaughter and some crimes based purely on their nature, so it’s almost impossible to trigger their remorse.

Even some transcendent individuals who commit acts from their very hearts might also find the hammer’s effect negligible.

This is the reason for the Hammer of Repentance’s effect variability.

Fortunately, Lu Zhan and his companions did not fall within this scope, and through their remorse, Su Qi learned that they abandoned the lives of hundreds of thousands in the Tenth District to assassinate Pei Jing.

They were also well aware that their actions would cause a chain of malign impacts, accelerating the collapse of the Tenth District, but under the guidance of selfish desires, they chose to turn a blind eye.

As a result, Su Qi was furious with them.

However, the fall of the Tenth District was now a foregone conclusion, and ordering Lu Zhan and his group back to support it would do little good.

"Therefore, you all shall serve as bait for the first wave of attacks by the bizarre entities." At this moment, Su Qi had already determined their fate in his heart.

After understanding Su Qi’s methods, Pei Jing also casually inquired about the bigwigs in the Nine Abyss Holy City who instructed them to deal with him.

For this, Lu Zhan and the others didn’t hesitate at all, and directly exposed the mastermind.

Pei Jing merely learned a few names and knew nothing else, unless he returned to the Nine Abyss Holy City one day to investigate thoroughly.

However.

He had no intention of returning to the Nine Abyss Holy City for the time being, and there were too many people targeting him. Even if he figured out which forces those individuals belong to from Lu Zhan’s lips, they might be difficult to deal with for some time.

Therefore, he could only note these names down and suppress them in his heart.

On the other hand, the construction of containment towers by Chu Qingfeng was vigorously underway.

In just five days, hundreds of giant towers stood both inside and outside the Ninth District.

The exterior of the giant towers was made of high-strength transparent glass and various special alloys, resembling large insect display tanks.

The construction choice was made because Chu Qingfeng believed that after confining the bizarre entities, it was necessary to constantly monitor their states.

To prevent them from suddenly escaping and causing destruction.

With each containment core being loaded in, the metal components of the containment devices began to operate slowly, activating a peculiar force field.

Thus, Chu Qingfeng felt relieved.

The containment devices were finally completed just in time before the mutations could encroach.
