Chapter 101 God!
Lucas was like a bus, carrying this boatload of passengers as he plummeted toward that burning star.
The Sun!
Observing the Sun up close, what one saw was absolutely not just a star, but a churning, roaring ocean of plasma.
The corporate tycoons were filled with terror, looking down at their feet.
It was a sea of fire capable of swallowing all desire.
Ten-thousand-meter-high solar prominences, like waterfalls of fire casually torn out by a god, rose, twisted, and fell violently before their eyes.
Just like the tides on Earth.
But every time a solar prominence surged, the energy released could vaporize the entire Earth.
They were within arm’s reach, yet the Bio-field blocked the light and heat.
What immense power!!
"Power is power! You old farts, if you added up all the nuclear bombs on Earth, could they withstand a single solar wind eruption?" A cruel smile played on Lucas’s lips.
These people were trembling all over, instinctively wanting to flee, but they were pinned to their chairs by Lucas.
"Then, if you would please sit tight, we shall continue our sightseeing to the next stop!"
Lucas flipped his wrist, and they made a graceful turn, flying toward the depths of the solar system.
Jupiter.
On that gas giant, the Great Red Spot—a superstorm that had raged for centuries without ceasing—was slowly rotating right beside them.
Saturn.
The rings, composed of billions of ice crystals and rocks, flowed with dreamlike light like diamonds under the illumination of the Sun.
Lucas took them through the asteroid belt.
Then they plummeted into the freezing Neptune.
Afterward, on the orange-red surface of Mars, he scooped up a handful of crimson soil.
And Venus.
The sky was filled with toxic sulfuric acid rain.
Lucas spread his arms freely, letting the destructive raindrops bathe his entire body, like a true god.
The Bio-field protected everyone’s minds, preventing them from going insane while being exposed to it.
Frame by frame.
Every scene was a cosmic wonder that humanity could never see with their own eyes, no matter how much of their lives or trillions of dollars they spent.
Lucas was even showing off.
He casually gave a light push toward an asteroid drifting toward them. This asteroid, ten times larger than the one that struck Earth a billion years ago, deviated from its original orbit and flew into the depths of the void.
Immediately after, Lucas wiped his eyes and aimed at the periphery of a distant planet.
The Omega Beams erupted forth.
Like a paintbrush in the hands of a god, he swept lightly along the star belt that stretched for hundreds of millions of kilometers—the entire asteroid belt composed of countless giant rocks.
In an instant! They were turned to dust!
What immense power is this?
The pupils of the old farts had completely lost focus.
At this moment, everything they prided themselves on—wealth, power, connections, wisdom... all of it, in front of this man who could part a planet down the middle, was as insignificant as a joke!
They actually wanted to verify his strength? And used such ridiculous... firecrackers, like nuclear bombs, as an example?
"You have money and power; you can spend tens of millions to go to space for a few minutes and then brag about it for the rest of your lives!"
"But given your lifespans and the development of human technology... let me be blunt!"
"Even if you replaced every organ in your bodies ten times over, swapped your blood for a young person’s, and pulled your wrinkles all the way up to your scalps, you would never see the day of interstellar travel in this lifetime!"
"But the Super-speed Healing I possess can repair every aging, diseased, and cancerous cell in your bodies!"
"I can make your hearts beat vigorously as if you were twenty years old! Telomerase? Repairing it is a piece of cake for me."
"I can let you live another one or two hundred years in a healthy, pain-free state!"
"So, tell me now!"
"What should you call me?"
The scene was deathly silent.
Immortality!
The information distilled by their brains ultimately crystallized into four simple words.
These four words might not matter to ordinary people.
Most people might not necessarily want immortality because living is painful, but for these corporate tycoons, a lifetime is simply too short!
At this age, money had long since become just a number.
The only thing they feared was death.
"Originally, I only gave you a chance to see me because you transferred the money quickly and accurately!"
"But you don’t seem to cherish this opportunity."
"You actually made me come to you in person?"
Lucas looked disdainful.
However, he turned his head and smiled again, "But who am I? The Guardian of the world, I have a merciful heart, so I will give you another chance!"
"One hundred billion!"
"Each!"
"Listen carefully to my words, it’s one hundred billion each!"
"Whoever transfers the money quickly and accurately, I might consider giving you a thorough check-up. If there’s any problem with your body, I’ll fix it while I’m at it, understand?"
Several people nodded mechanically.
Nearly insane!
Are you kidding me!
Immortality!
With their status and connections, money was just a number. Even if they had to transfer all their companies, stocks, and real estate to the Guardian, they would be willing to trade it for immortality.
"Don’t be in such a rush; our sightseeing tour isn’t over yet. I haven’t heard the answer I want from you yet!"
Lucas’s eyes lit up, "Which of you is a believer in God?"
Most of them raised their hands tremblingly.
Old squids, huh.
Quite normal.
"Very well, let’s go to the next stop!"
Lucas accelerated suddenly.
This time, he jumped at superluminal speed. The stars in the sky instantly stretched into streaks of brilliant light, retreating and annihilating crazily behind them.
This time, they flew out of the solar system.
The Pillars of Creation!
When those pillars, formed by interstellar gas and cosmic dust, spanned across the void, the brains of these people were already hovering on the edge of collapse. Even with the comfort of the Bio-field, it was barely enough.
That scene could not be described in any language.
If God has a dwelling place, then it must be here!
The nebula, interwoven with countless colors, was like a canvas left behind by a god.
They saw destruction and rebirth simultaneously; stars were burning, time was collapsing, and their souls... were trembling!
The Pillars of Creation were nurturing new stars.
It’s just that by the time the light reached Earth, thousands of years had already passed.
Someone couldn’t hold on anymore and collapsed directly onto their chair, their eyes unfocused, as if they had received the blessing of the God.
Sanity points dropped to zero!
Humanity simply cannot comprehend such a magnificent sight.

...
Lucas withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.
That’s about enough.
If he let these old geezers watch any longer, he was afraid someone might actually ascend on the spot and go meet God early.
That wouldn’t be good.
Lucas turned around and entered superluminal jump, instantly returning to Earth.
He plummeted toward the planet with them.
Vought Tower.
Everything was exactly the same as when they left.
A large hole was torn in the roof, through which one could see the distant starry sky, where they had just been.
Lucas sat cross-legged in the air, his eyes glowing with crimson light.
"Now tell me, what should you call me?"
Someone was already kneeling at his feet, their head kowtowing to the ground.
"Oh, God!"
