Countless people felt that their faith was about to collapse. The heretic actually won. A heretic who deserved to go to hell actually won against the Pope who was like a god to them.
At this moment, their worldview collapsed, and even their faith was shaken. Although the Pope was not a god, in this world where there was no god, he was the representative of God. He was the incarnation of God.
Now, even the representative and incarnation of God were defeated. It was completely unimaginable.
The figure of the Pope fell directly into the Vatican, and he was no longer breathing.
After exhausting his life force, he directly stopped breathing. The golden light that was originally condensed in the sky, which belonged to the power of faith, also collapsed in an instant, turning into a light rain that fell down. All the people who had diseases in their bodies were also healed by this light rain.
But now, the whole city was in panic and pain. Who would pay attention to such a small matter?
Not only were they sad about the death of the Pope, but they were also afraid that Ye Xiwen would go on a killing spree. In their eyes, Ye Xiwen had undoubtedly become the most terrifying devil in hell, Satan. His terrifying devil might had already made everyone despair.
Is God really going to abandon us, the sincere believers?
But the only thing that they could rest assured was that Ye Xiwen did not take the opportunity to attack the Vatican, but turned around and left.
For Ye Xiwen, he was not a homicidal maniac. Doing this was enough. He said that the Vatican would be in trouble. Now that the Pope had fallen, it was karma.
For the Vatican, the trouble was far from this little bit. Ye Xiwen had killed his way to the Vatican, but in the end, they could not do anything to him. This was a huge blow to the prestige of the Vatican that had been accumulated for thousands of years. Not to mention that the strongest Pope had died tragically. On the surface, the Vatican would lack the top powerhouses.
The new Pope would probably have to go through a struggle for power and profit, and compromise with each other. Even if he were to take the throne, under such circumstances, he would probably be badly battered.
As for the clamoring for an expedition to the East, it was completely useless. At this time, if Ye Xiwen did not look for trouble with them, they would already be thanking the heavens, let alone looking for trouble with Ye Xiwen.
Through this battle, they could also see that Ye Xiwen's strength was far beyond their imagination. The fact that he had single-handedly defeated the Vatican was already enough to shock the entire world. The appearance of such a powerful heresy in the East was not a good thing for the entire West.
Apart from fighting against the demonic beasts, the East and the West basically couldn't see eye to eye on anything else. There were too many frictions between them. Basically, it was a situation where one side was losing while the other was gaining.
However, even with such a big background, perhaps even the Dark Church wouldn't let go of this opportunity to wantonly expand. The Dark Church was already under a lot of pressure. How could they have the time to look for trouble with Ye Xiwen?
Not to mention that the major families and sects in the East would not give up on infiltrating the West. The Holy See would not be able to spare any manpower for a long time. Even if they could spare some manpower, they would not dare to cause trouble for Ye Xiwen, and would only dare to stabilize the frontlines.
And, Ye Xiwen's goal would also be achieved.
The news of the fall of the Pope quickly spread throughout the world. Everyone was shocked by this news. The momentum of the Zhang family became even stronger. With such a powerful ancestor, the Zhang family would be extremely prosperous in the foreseeable future.
And, Ye Xiwen, who had done this, did not show any other signs. He disappeared in front of everyone. At least, in the eyes of the vast majority of people, he was considered to have disappeared and never appeared again.
Two hundred years passed quietly. Soon, the appearance of Ye Xiwen two hundred years ago had been forgotten by the vast majority of people.
Even in the environment where everyone practiced martial arts after the cataclysm, it could be said that an entire generation had passed, or even two or three generations had been born.
After all, most people could not practice to a higher realm. Those who could practice to the Xiantian realm could be regarded as a genius. But, a Xiantian powerhouse could only live for more than two hundred years.
With the gap in the martial arts realm, the gap in lifespan would also increase. The legendary world of Great Unity did not descend. On the contrary, it was divided into stricter classes. This was a blatant mockery of the theory of more than a thousand years ago.
Every base city could be divided into elite and wealthy areas and peaceful areas.
Although the technological progress of a thousand years was not earth-shaking, it was enough to eliminate the stubborn disease of thousands of years. In any case, the poor, no matter how miserable they were, had enough social benefits from birth to death.
However, for those high-level people, although two hundred years was not a short time, in fact, most of the people in power in the past were still there. They could never forget that person who terrified them.
Two hundred years was a lifetime for ordinary people. But, for a Great Sage who was at most more than a thousand years old, he had not even entered the peak of his life. Even with the terrible environment of the earth, a Great Sage who was more than a thousand years old could only be regarded as more than half of his life.
How could such a person die? Was there anything on the earth that could threaten that monster?
He must be lurking somewhere.
Therefore, even if Ye Xiwen did not show up again after the trip to Vatican City two hundred years ago, people still did not dare to underestimate the Zhang Family.
Moreover, in a mere two hundred years, the Zhang Family was like a blowout. After Ye Xiwen left a complete series of cultivation experiences and some corresponding martial techniques, the Zhang Family had more than five Great Sages and more than ten Sage Realm masters in the past two hundred years. Zhang Li, who had already entered the Great Sage realm, had cultivated to the peak of the Great Sage realm. The strength of the Zhang Family had undergone earth-shaking changes in a short time.
More than a hundred years ago, Zhang Guojie had also entered the Great Sage realm, and finally achieved his wish to ascend to the highest position, making the Zhang Family a supreme clan. Although he had retired now, the Zhang Family had better control over the imperial court.
In the mouth of many people, the Zhang Family had truly become a supreme clan, the number one clan in China and even the world.
Many ancient clans with a long history could not compare with the Zhang family in terms of strength. However, with Ye Xiwen's experience and power techniques, as well as the many heavenly treasures he had left behind, the Zhang family's strength had skyrocketed so fast that many people had not expected it.
The Zhang Family, which could only be regarded as the bottom among the top clans, had become an existence that everyone had to look up to in one fell swoop.
It could even be comparable to the old behemoths with thousands of years of inheritance such as Mount Shu and Kunlun.
This was only the change in the past two hundred years, and the Zhang Family was still on the fast track of development. It was unimaginable to what extent it would reach after hundreds or thousands of years.
Even if the current Zhang Family did not have Ye Xiwen, it was enough to stand firmly without worrying about the pressure of others.
However, the Zhang Family had become more and more low-key in the past two hundred years. Like other ancient clans, they had slowly appeared less and less in front of the public, especially after Zhang Guojie had also retired from the supreme position a few decades ago. The first and second generations of the Zhang Family had appeared even less. Everything was transforming into an ancient clan with a heritage.
Nowadays, the Zhang Family no longer needed to occupy important positions in China, and use the state machinery to ensure their family's prestige. The first and second generations had become many Great Sages, and the third generations had also entered the Sage Realm. This was the Zhang Family's greatest heritage and the greatest confidence.
There was a very simple shop in the civilian area of the Great Fuzhou City. The decoration was like the style of thousands of years ago, and it seemed a little out of place with the surrounding modern style. The place at the end of the entire street was a little remote, and there were not many people on weekdays.
The whole shop looked dazzling, but it was selling some handicrafts. Usually, there would be some people patronizing it. After all, in this day and age, everything was produced by machines from the assembly line. Such handicrafts were rare.
Early in the morning, a somewhat stooped old man opened the door of the shop. Although he had white hair, he was quite strong.
Then, he sat on the rocking chair next to him and started rocking. He would only get up reluctantly when there were people, but there were not many people in the early morning.
"Grandpa Ye, Grandpa Ye!" It didn't take long for a clear voice to be heard. It was a little girl who looked like she was carved out of jade, jumping and running towards him.
"Thump!" The little girl fell directly to the ground, and her face was covered with dust.
"Slow down, slow down, you little monkey. Are you hurt?" The old man's aged voice had a bit of helplessness.
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt!"
The little girl giggled and got up from the ground. She was not delicate at all. Nowadays, children had been injected with genetic potions since they were young. Their bodies were hit hard, and it was difficult to break their skin under normal circumstances. It was just that the clothes on their bodies were a little dirty.
The little girl continued to run over, and directly bumped into the old man. The old man showed a smile on his face, and patted her body to get rid of the dust.
"Why are you up so early today!" The old man asked.
"I'm going to kindergarten today. I won't be able to play with Grandpa Ye in the future, so Mom told me to come early to say goodbye to Grandpa Ye!" The little girl smiled innocently, but her eyes were extremely lively.
"En, after you go, you have to listen to the teacher and have a good relationship with the other children!" The old man said.
"En, Mom and Dad said the same!" The little girl nodded very hard, as if she was promising something. "Oh, Grandpa Ye, where's Big Sister Li? I haven't seen Big Sister Li for a long time!"
"Oh, so Little Nuannuan isn't here to see Grandpa, but to see Big Sister Li!" The old man asked with a straight face.
"Not really!" The little girl was a little embarrassed, and her cute little face was a little embarrassed. "I'm also here to see Grandpa Ye!"
"Hahahaha!" The old man burst into laughter, his voice loud and clear.
