Looking at the Star Observing Mirror in his hand that had recovered its starlight, Lin Zhen felt a burst of excitement in his heart.
600 billion!
He had spent at least 600 billion in the past few days. Not only did he spend the money for the elemental energy equipment, but he also spent 300 billion himself!
After spending all this money, he was only able to restore high-grade astral tools. There was still a long way to go before he could become a first-grade astral apprentice.
"Fortunately, I finally repaired the stargazing mirror. This time, I believe that old man Gongsun Du has no reason to stop Yue 'er from being with me."
Putting away the stargazing mirror, Lin Zhen stretched his body and stood up.
When he walked out of the tent, Zhang Yue had also just gotten up. When he saw Lin Zhen, he immediately ran over.
"Lin Zhen, you're finally willing to come out. You haven't appeared for almost seven days. Other than sometimes going to your tent's entrance to retrieve some of the Astral Tools you've poured in, I haven't seen your figure."
Lin Zhen smiled at Zhang Yue. "I was busy with something. I want to ask you something. Do you know where I can find earth elemental crystals?"
"Earth elemental? Yes, I do. You asked me to buy water, fire, wind, and earth elemental crystals. Didn't I give them all to you?"
"That won't work. The higher the better. It has to be at least SS-grade."
"That's not easy to find. We haven't bought a single SS-grade crystal these days. Anyone who has it will treat it as a treasure. They won't be willing to sell it unless we find it ourselves."
Zhang Yue thought for a moment. "But I heard that there are many high-level mutant beasts on the third floor of the City of Ancient Gods. The lowest level is SS-grade. You can find all kinds of elemental crystals there. Unless you go there and take a look."
"Well, I will go there sooner or later."
Lin Zhen made up his mind. He still wanted to get the earth elemental crystal first. As long as he got the dark star, he would be able to condense it. That would be the moment he broke through.
"Is there any news these days?"
"Yes, the Holy Son has completed the integration of the world's religions and announced the unification of the world's religions in the Holy Church of Constantinople. He will be the Pope."
"He became the Pope? When did this happen? " Lin Zhen stared blankly for a moment. Nothing like this had happened in his previous life, and there was no such title of Pope. However, things had changed in this life.
"It's today. The news has already spread all over the world. Only a madman like you who is focused on cultivation doesn't know about it. It's probably being broadcasted live on the Internet now. If I didn't want to set up my stall, I would be watching the live broadcast right now."
Lin Zhen waved his hand. "Let's not set up a stall. Let's watch the live broadcast first."
Lin Zhen took out his phone. The Internet was flooded with news about the Holy Son becoming the Pope.
The coronation ceremony was held in the Holy Might Church of Constantinople. When Lin Zhen was watching, it was already nearing the end. He saw Yan Huang wearing the golden papal robe and sitting on a chair in the great hall of the Holy Might Church. He was high and mighty, like a god looking down on all living beings.
Yan Huang was a mixed-blood. His facial features were well-defined, and he looked quite dignified in the robe. Cheers were heard all over the world. Countless believers were celebrating the ascension of their pope.
There were two relatively small seats on the left and right of his throne. However, there were no seats on them yet. No one knew who they were reserved for.
Under the Pope's throne, on the marble floor that was as smooth as a mirror, there were 30 elders in golden robes!
Each of these thirty elders was a Star Realm expert. There were twenty-seven Great Divinity Sects in twenty-seven base cities around the world. Each of these Great Divinity Sects was an elder. There were also three Star Realm experts. These thirty people were the core members of the Holy See.
Alan of Bingcheng Base City was also an elder. As one of the earliest followers of the Pope, Alan was giving a speech at the moment.
"This is a sacred ceremony for the whole world. His Majesty the Pope has ascended to the throne, and all the religions in the world are united. We believe that under His Majesty's leadership, we will be able to restore the glory of our religion and the glory of the past …"
The long speech of praising the Pope made many believers so excited that their eyes were brimming with tears. They cheered loudly.
After that, a reporter on the scene asked, "Elder Alan, His Majesty the Pope has ascended to the throne, and there are elders below. However, according to our observation, there are two seats on the left and right of His Majesty. Who are these two seats reserved for?"
Alan smiled. "That's a good question. His Majesty the Pope is the Son of God. He is someone who can communicate with God. He is the incarnation of God in the mortal world. However, he can't always be alone. He needs a partner. Of these two seats, one of them is reserved for the future Queen."
"Queen! Can you reveal the Queen's name? Why didn't she appear in this sacred ceremony? "the reporter asked.
"I can't tell you that for now. However, I can tell you that in a hundred days, His Majesty the Pope will hold a grand wedding. Although the Queen's name is kept a secret for now, she must be the most perfect woman in the world. She must also be a devout believer in God."
There was an uproar below. Many people were guessing who the future Queen would be.
"Elder Alan, who is the other seat reserved for?"
Alan said, "The other seat belongs to our Holy See's Chief Inquisitor. The Chief Inquisitor has power second only to His Majesty the Pope and Her Majesty the Queen. He is the third person in our Holy See."
"Who is the Chief Inquisitor?"
"It can be anyone in the world. It can even be you." Alan's words made people feel a little confused.
After keeping them in suspense for a while, Alan said in a deep voice, "Although God's grace is vast, God's dignity is not to be violated. Now that the Holy See has been established, we will never let go of those who have insulted and harmed the Holy See. I hereby declare that the Holy See will eradicate a heretic."
Looking at the countless cameras in front of him, Alan said almost word by word, "Lin Zhen insulted His Majesty the Pope. This matter is absolutely intolerable. I now declare that Lin Zhen is the enemy of our Holy See. Everything he has done to us must be repaid with his blood! From today onwards, believers of the Holy See in the world, no matter who kills Lin Zhen, the Holy See will grant him the position of Chief Inquisitor! "
When this news came out, the whole world was shocked!
The Holy See was newly established. They were going to use Lin Zhen to establish their power.
The events of a few days ago were still vivid in their minds. Lin Zhen had spoken nonsense in the City of Ancient Gods. Not only did he completely deny the Holy See, he even denied the existence of the Starry Sky True Gods.
This matter made many believers of the Holy See in the world unhappy. The voices calling for Lin Zhen to be severely punished also became louder and louder.
However, Yan Huang had never said anything about this matter. This even made many believers of the Holy See disappointed. They felt that the Holy See was too tolerant of Lin Zhen.
However, no one thought that it was not that Yan Huang did not want to take revenge on Lin Zhen. He did not make a move, but once he made a move, he wanted to force Lin Zhen into a dead end!
How many believers of the Holy See were there in the world?
There were two billion people in the world. More than half of them were believers of the Holy See.
Under such circumstances, could Lin Zhen still get anything good? How could he survive in this world? Perhaps, wherever there were people, there would be people chasing after him.
Moreover, the Pope had promised great benefits. The person who killed Lin Zhen would get the position of Chief Inquisitor of the Holy See.
That was a position only below the Pope and the Queen. It could be said that it was only below one person and above hundreds of millions of people. Who would not be tempted?
It was believed that even in Huaxia, many people were tempted by this matter.
In an instant, Lin Zhen became the public enemy of the world!
At this moment, the entire world's internet was flooded with comments. Lin Zhen had once again become famous.
Outside the country, countless people were clamoring to kill Lin Zhen. Many people posted videos. They were now heading to the City of Ancient Gods to find Lin Zhen's whereabouts.
In China, Lin Zhen also had a large number of supporters. Many people had also become the Holy See's opponents at this moment. They had long been on Lin Zhen's side and cursed the Holy See's actions.
Especially in Bingcheng, although many people supported the Holy See, they were not the majority. Most people here still liked Lin Zhen. According to statistics, there were about forty million believers of the Holy See in Bingcheng. When the Holy See announced that they would eliminate Lin Zhen, the number of believers in Bingcheng plummeted to twenty-five million. Many people announced that they would leave the Holy See, and the number was still increasing.
Many people even organized to go to the City of Ancient Gods to protect Lin Zhen and fight the Holy See to the end.
Although many people supported Lin Zhen, Lin Zhen did not feel happy at all. Although the result was not bad, and he was not afraid of the Holy See's pursuit, he was not alone. He still had his parents, An Ning, and Ming Yue. If these people could not kill Lin Zhen, what about his parents? What about An Ning and Yue 'er? Would someone want to harm them and use them to threaten Lin Zhen?
Lin Zhen's tent was located quite a distance away from town. When Lin Zhen saw the news, he immediately told Zhang Yue to leave as soon as possible. The further, the better. He didn't want anyone to recognize him. Otherwise, they might take it out on him.
Zhang Yue also knew that the situation was serious, so he immediately left in the aircraft. Before leaving, he told Lin Zhen not to worry and that he had a way to survive.
Lin Zhen immediately boarded the Black Spirit and rose into the clouds. The first thing he did was to call his parents.
As soon as the call was connected, Li Yao answered.
Li Yao told Lin Zhen that he had just finished his business with Bing City's Marriott Group and arrived at the Azure Sky Dojo. He saw the news online and had brought Lin Zhen and Li Qin to his secret residence. He told Lin Zhen not to worry and that they were absolutely safe.
Lin Zhen heaved a sigh of relief. People in this world could suspect anyone but Li Yao. This was because Li Yao was his mortal enemy. His parents were absolutely safe with him. Li Yao would never betray Lin Zhen.
After that, Lin Zhen's second call was to An Ning.
An Ning immediately answered the call. She only told Lin Zhen not to worry about her and that An Group definitely had the ability to protect her. No one could hurt her. Instead, she asked Lin Zhen to come back immediately. She wanted to be with Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen did not want to go back for the time being. He could only comfort An Ning over the phone.
An Ning, who had always been a strong girl, even started to cry. "Lin Zhen, you don't have to worry about me. You have to live well. If you are not around, what will happen to Yue Er, Uncle and Auntie and I? You should call Yue Er. She must be worried sick. "
After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhen heaved a sigh of relief. He believed An Ning's words. The An Group was China's largest financial group, and even the world's largest financial group. The power behind it was definitely shocking.
Then, before Lin Zhen could call Su Mingyue, Yue Er's call came.
Su Mingyue smiled like a flower in the camera. "Lin Zhen, don't worry about Yue Er. I am the Saintess of God's Sect. No believers of God will hurt me. Yue Er believes that the person I love is a great hero. No difficulties or obstacles can defeat him. If you really have an accident, Yue Er will follow you in life and death. If you win, then remember that Yue Er will wait for you here.
Lin Zhen nodded. Su Mingyue suddenly cried. "Lin Zhen … Yue Er hasn't cooked for you yet. You must come to me … I beg you …"
Lin Zhen looked at Yue Er who was crying. He gently hung up the phone and then posted a message on the Internet.
