Chapter 327: 327: The Temptation of the True God
“It’s over, the Gods Clan’s flying squadron has been completely wiped out, and Allen’s phone can’t get through either. I guess the chances of him surviving are slim.”
This scene was broadcast around the world. Although the destruction of the Gods Clan’s forces was gratifying, people were more worried about the fate of Ice City.
“Look, there’s someone rushing over there!”
A City Defense Army soldier shouted loudly, pointing at the distance, immediately attracting everyone’s attention.
People looked in that direction and saw a person fighting fiercely with a mutated beast in the distance and quickly advancing towards them.
“Oh my God, who is that? He’s so fierce!”
“To charge in alone like this, he must be at least a Star Realm expert, or even a Star List expert.”
“It seems to be Lin Zhen.” An Ning was the first to recognize her sweetheart’s figure.
Sure enough, Lin Zhen quickly broke through the encirclement of the mutated beasts and instantly teleported to the city wall of Ice City.
An Ning smiled as she watched Lin Zhen. She had missed him very much after so many days apart, but with so many people around, all she could do was smile at him.
Lin Zhen went over and took An Ning’s hand: “You’ve been working hard these days.”
“It’s okay, as long as you’re back, it’s not hard.”
“Brother Lin, you finally came back. We were almost bullied to death without you.”
There were still many people around greeting Lin Zhen one by one, but Zhao Xiaoman didn’t care and directly told Lin Zhen about Shen Lixing’s situation.
Seeing so many familiar faces, Lin Zhen was also very happy. Finally, his gaze fell on Zhao Xiaoman: “Oh! Who dares to bully the willful and stubborn Zhao Xiaoman? Who’s so bold?”
“Isn’t it our commander? He even came with people from the Gods Clan and forced us to join the Gods Clan.”
Lin Zhen’s gaze fell on Shen Lixing, and after a few glances, he suddenly pointed at the two Gods Clan elders behind him: “There’s not a single Gods Clan believer in Ice City. You two, get out now!”
The two golden-robed elders of the Gods Clan didn’t dare to make a sound in front of Lin Zhen and jumped down from the city wall with their heads down.
With a man’s fame comes a tree’s shade, Lin Zhen had already killed too many people from the Gods Clan, and ordinary Star Realm experts didn’t dare to act arrogantly in front of him, so they ran away dejectedly.
Of course, Lin Zhen was confident they wouldn’t get far, as Xiao Nuan had been waiting for them to go down.
After the two Gods Clan elders went down, they were caught up in a tough battle, and soon, two screams came from below, followed by silence.
Zhao Xiaoman continued: “Brother Lin, our commander said that if you can save Ice City from danger, he and his people will break out with their bare asses.”
Lin Zhen nodded, since Shen Lixing was the son of someone high up in the government, it wasn’t appropriate to kill him in front of everyone. So, they gave them a chance to break through.
But if their breakout failed and they died, it wouldn’t be Lin Zhen’s problem anymore.
Lin Zhen looked at the crowd around him and spoke loudly: “Everyone, I was late to Ice City’s siege situation, but don’t worry. The crisis will pass, and we don’t need the help of the Gods Clan to survive.”
“Boss Lin, we believe in you.”
“Idol, just tell us what to do.”
“Brother Lin, just give the order, and we’ll follow your command.”
Lin Zhen nodded: “The task is simple, everyone cover me with firepower, and I’ll go out and find the one-man army to bring back some good news for everyone.”
An Ning and the others all nodded in agreement. Over a long period of time, Lin Zhen had created many miracles, and they all had immense trust in him.
Only Shen Lixing was still unconvinced: “Lin Zhen, you better think clearly. The safety of tens of millions of people in Ice City is at stake, you can’t take it lightly.”
“Commander Shen, you better worry about how you’re going to break through later. It isn’t easy to do it with a bare ass.”
Lin Zhen had no interest in wasting words with this person. Although he was the son of someone high in the government, in Lin Zhen’s eyes, he was nothing but an ant.
“I’ll be back soon. Remember, once the mutated beasts show signs of retreating, drive these people out at once.”
Lin Zhen greeted An Ning and rushed to the west with a flap of his Lightning Wings.
This time, Lin Zhen didn’t release Xiao Nuan’s aura, and the mutated birds and beasts immediately charged at him.
However, with Lin Zhen’s current strength, these low-level mutated beasts couldn’t possibly cause him any harm. He activated his Spiritual Barrier and sent the Seven Stars Knife to the sky, where it unleashed various elemental energies that charged towards the distance.
No bird or beast could get close to Lin Zhen’s body. They were all torn to pieces by the elemental energy.
Watching Lin Zhen’s thunderous departure, the people of Ice City were even more confident, waiting for news of his victorious return.
In a secret room of Constantinople, Yan Huang watched the news on the internet, his eyes burning with red fury.
Lin Zhen had actually come out of the Ancient God City, and his strength had increased significantly. Yan Huang no longer had the confidence to defeat Lin Zhen.
Especially since he hadn’t fully refined his Star Sky Crown. Compared to the last time he met Lin Zhen, his strength hadn’t improved much.
The main reason was his restless mind. The big wedding day he promised was tomorrow, but he hadn’t found Su Mingyue yet, so the wedding couldn’t take place.
Actually, it’s not that he couldn’t find Su Mingyue. He knew that she was in the God’s Grace Cathedral in Capital Base City, but Gongsun Du refused to let her go. Yan Huang couldn’t guarantee victory against Gongsun Du, so the situation dragged on.
As time was running out, he still couldn’t resonate with the biggest gem on the Star Sky Crown, which made him panic.
“Will I really lose to Lin Zhen? No! I won’t accept it!”
Yan Huang tightly gripped the Star Sky Crown, his heart full of unwillingness.
“As long as I can defeat Lin Zhen, I’m willing to pay any price!”
He involuntarily spoke those words.
It seemed as if he was hallucinating. A crack appeared in the space before him, and a blue light curtain appeared in it, like a floating screen in midair.
A person appeared, dressed like a military officer, but Yan Huang had never seen this person or this uniform before.
“Are you willing to pay any price for victory?” The man spoke to Yan Huang first.
“Who are you?” Yan Huang was dumbfounded.
“Take a look at this, and you’ll know who I am.”
The man raised his hand, and an electronic display appeared, showing images one after another.
First, there was an endless expanse of starry sky.
The beauty and profundity of the starry sky seemed eternal, entrancing Yan Huang.
A beautiful planet appeared, with an environment similar to Earth’s, complete with mountains, rivers, air, and oceans, as well as humans, though their appearance was slightly different from people of Earth, with pointed ears.
The following scenes depicted the life of the planet’s inhabitants: conflicts, conspiracies, and killings. A history similar to that of human civilization unfolded before Yan Huang’s eyes.
The planet also had faith. The sect was called Tian Sect, and their worshipped deity was called Sky God, but it seemed quite similar to the True God of the Stars, which humans also believed in. The Tian Sect ruled the planet.
Powerful individuals appeared on the planet, all at least at the Star Realm. Among them, there were even those at the Constant Realm Third Level. They overthrew the Tian Sect, aiming to establish a new order.
Then a hole appeared in space, and countless huge battleships emerged, flying towards the planet.
Next came scenes of war, with the planet’s civilization nearly destroyed. The rebels of the Tian Sect were killed one after another, and their resistance was futile against the invaders.
The Tian Sect rose again, and the people of the planet became slaves, leaving their homeland for the vast universe.
Yan Huang marveled at the vastness of the universe and the richness of life. He felt like a frog at the bottom of a well, unaware of the fascinating world outside.
There were flags everywhere, and on them was the figure of the True God of the Stars that Yan Huang had long believed in.
The True God sat with an unclear face in the starry sky, holding a few stars in its hand.
“The True God!”
Yan Huang couldn’t help but exclaim. Although he was the Holy Son of the Gods Clan, he had also doubted the existence of the True God in his heart. But at this moment, the video before him shattered his doubts. The True God actually existed!
The man on the other side of the water curtain turned off the video, then said to Yan Huang, “Yan Huang. Lucifer, perhaps I should introduce myself now. My name is Shu Mingxuan. You can call me Captain, or you can call me Envoy, because I come from the Kingdom of the True God.”
“The Kingdom of the True God… it really exists….”
“That’s right, the Kingdom of the True God does exist. And soon, the army of the True God you saw in the video will descend upon Earth, making it part of the True God’s territory. Yan Huang. Lucifer, are you willing to follow your faith and become a member of the True God’s kingdom?”
“I am willing… it’s just… ” Yan Huang still had some unfinished business in his heart.
“I know what you’re worried about. As long as you agree to my next request, I guarantee Gongsun Du will side with you again, and he will bring Su Mingyue to you. Furthermore, my people will help you master the Star Sky Crown. If Lin Zhen dares to come, he won’t be able to return.”
Yan Huang’s concerns were dispelled, and he immediately rejoiced, “Yan Huang is willing to serve Shu Mingxuan.”
“Then open the door, my people are at your door.”
Yan Huang immediately got up and opened the door of the secret room, but he was startled.
Standing outside was a man over two meters tall. It was none other than Huo Luofu, who had fought with him in the Ancient God City.
“Hahaha! Yan Huang, I am also a servant of Shu Mingxuan. Let us get to know each other anew!”
