Hearing Lin Zhen’s words, Allen’s face changed immediately: “Lin Zhen, do you know who is standing in front of you?”
Lin Zhen glanced at Yan Huang: “The Third Holy Son of the Gods Clan, which is now known throughout the world.”
“Since you already know, how dare you speak like this? The Holy Son can communicate with the True God, and your actions are disrespectful to the deity.”
“Hehe, I’m really sorry. I don’t believe in the True God of the Stars. The food I eat, the clothes I wear, the house I live in, and everything I’ve learned have not depended on the True God in the slightest. Why should I respect him?”
Allen sneered: “Where did you learn your powers? What is this Ancient God
City? Without God Transformation Day bringing all this, how could you learn
“God Transformation Day? In fact, I have a different opinion about that.”
At this time, Lin Zhen stood up from behind the stall. Although he was talking to Allen, his gaze was fixed on Yan Huang across from him.
He finally remembered some things. Although Yan Huang did unite the Star
Sky Divine Teaching, when the extraterrestrial civilization descended, Su Mingyue discovered the true nature of Star Sky Divine Teaching and was the first among the global believers of the Gods Clan to stand up and resist.
Before Su Mingyue, none of the believers in the Gods Clan had resisted; on the contrary, they enthusiastically welcomed the arrival of the True God’s troops.
Although Lin Zhen was not very clear about the inside information of Gods Clan, the global reaction was so consistent that there was no doubt that it was related to the man in front of him.
Lin Zhen never believed in the so-called communication with the True God, which was just an excuse to deceive ignorant believers. The so-called True God was nothing more than a group of invading robbers, and the Holy Son must be lying about this.
If he could have stood up and resisted the first time in his previous life, then Su Mingyue would not have been trapped in a situation of fighting alone.
Every time Lin Zhen thought of Yue’er’s fragrant demise in front of him, her white clothes falling into the dust, his heart felt a sharp pain.
It is precisely as the poem praising her said: If there were no Su Mingyue in the world, who could match the white clothes?
Without Ming Yue, no more daughters would have that peerless grace in white clothes.
So, Yan Huang was also indirectly responsible for Su Mingyue’s death.
So Lin Zhen could never like this person, even though he and Lin Zhen had no enmity.
Lin Zhen looked into Yan Huang’s eyes: “You see the powers brought by God Transformation Day, and some things that are not available on Earth. But you have forgotten the catastrophe and the deaths of billions of innocent people. Is the meteor shower a gift from heaven? I don’t think so. From a scientific perspective, it’s just that a planet shattered and fell onto Earth, and everything that fell down is more like relics from that planet.”
“What is Earth? Earth is just a garbage dump. We people are just looking for something useful in the garbage to make our lives a little better. It’s ridiculous that you think it’s a gift from God. So where is God? Besides the meteor shower that brought death and disaster, what else have they given you?”
“Lin Zhen! You are being reckless! You are challenging the Gods Clan!” Allen was so angry that his eyebrows and beard were trembling. He had never seen such a bold person.
In this age of religious prevalence, Star Sky Divine Teaching is the only sect. Nearly half of the people in the world are believers in Gods Clan. No one has ever dared to deny everything about Gods Clan so openly in public.
And this is in front of the newly appointed Holy Son of the Gods Clan, which made Allen feel absurd. Has Lin Zhen gone mad?
Even Zhang Yue looked at Lin Zhen incredulously. What’s wrong with his idol? Can such things be spoken so casually? Although Zhang Yue also didn’t believe in Gods Clan, there were too many people in the world who did.
If Lin Zhen’s words were spread, it would incur public anger.
Lin Zhen was not crazy. He knew exactly what he was doing. He remembered very clearly the heaviest casualties on Earth when the extraterrestrial civilization descended. At that time, people were almost unprepared. Gods Clan enthusiastically welcomed the arrival of the deity’s troops, while those non-Gods Clan believers were just watching the excitement.
The invaders came in a seemingly friendly manner, then suddenly launched a massacre on all non-Gods Clan believers. Many people died in that first attack, and even some experts were targeted and died on the spot.
Gods Clan tried to defend the invaders, saying they were purging heretics and that people would be safe and carefree as long as they joined Gods Clan.
The Su Mingyue incident happened at that time. The kind-hearted girl couldn’t stand the brutal acts of the invaders and resisted with her frail body, awakening many believers who were blindly misled by the higher- ups of Gods Clan with her blood.
After that, the Gongsun Du incident occurred, and more and more believers of Gods Clan began to resist, leading the invaders to simply tear off their hypocritical masks and launch a full-scale massacre.
Then there was a long period of human resistance. Of course, in the end, it still failed. Countless experts and geniuses fell, and humans were completely conquered and became slaves of the invaders. Finally, in the great migration, they left their Earth home. By the time Lin Zhen was reborn, the Earth lineage had almost been wiped out. It became a luxury to meet another person of Earth, and to learn about Earth’s knowledge, only fragmented information could be found in some primary school textbooks in the starry sky. The Earth people were nothing more than a group of slaves and natives conquered by a superior civilization, and they had already been drowned in the eternal long river of time.
Lin Zhen was not a savior, and he didn’t think he could save everyone. But Earth was his home, and his friends and family were there. If he wanted to change everything, he had to take the first step and make people be on guard against the so-called True God of the Stars, and not blindly believe that they were deities.
But the Gods Clan has been established for nearly a thousand years, and its way of thinking has deeply rooted in people’s minds. It is definitely not something that can be changed overnight.
Perhaps this first step will bring Lin Zhen some trouble, and he might be misunderstood by some believers. However, Lin Zhen doesn’t care. With his current strength, what can those people do to him?
Moreover, not all the true Star Realm experts necessarily believe in the Star Sky Divine Teaching, as they all worship power. As long as Lin Zhen can show enough power, even those who have objections will have to hold their tongues.
Now facing Yan Huang, this is Lin Zhen’s opportunity and the first step in changing people’s minds. As long as Lin Zhen succeeds in this matter, he is confident that 99-99% of the people on Earth will become his most loyal followers.
Furthermore, the day when the Extraterrestrial Civilization arrives isn’t far off, with only about four years left, which can pass in the blink of an eye during cultivation.
There are still some people on the scene who were unhappy with Lin Zhen’s words, but with the Holy Son and Allen present, no one dared to speak recklessly. Many people secretly took out their phones to record the scene.
“Am I being presumptuous? Maybe many people will think so, but I tell you, when the day comes that you look back at these words I’ve said, you’ll find that
wnat 1 said IS aDs01ute1Y correct!”
Lin Zhen had held these words in his heart for a long time, and when he spoke them now, they were full of momentum and struck a chord with people’s hearts, as after all, nearly half of the people in the world were believers in the Star Sky Divine Teaching, but more than half of the people didn’t believe in it. Lin Zhen’s words were powerful, and he managed to resonate with many people!
“I’ve always felt that the Gods Clan’s teachings are a bit deceptive, but since it doesn’t concern me, I don’t want to get involved in it. Lin Zhen is really brave!”
“Of course Lin Zhen is brave, with his strength and background, at the very least, I believe that even if many Gods Clan believers are unhappy with him, he won’t be in any danger in Hua Xia. After all, he has done so much good for Hua Xia. If it were anyone else saying these things, they’d probably be destroyed by countless Gods Clan believers in the Human Path.”
“That’s true, only Lin Zhen could say such words, and only he has the courage to say them. Anyway, I support Lin Zhen.”
“I support Lin Zhen too.”
“Aren’t you a believer of the Gods Clan? Why would you support Lin Zhen?”
“I could only be considered half a believer. In fact, I joined the Gods Clan half to see Su Mingyue, but now Su Mingyue is Lin Zhen’s girlfriend, so I might as well support Lin Zhen. Maybe, Su Saintess will even take notice of me because of it.”
“Damn! You pervert, I didn’t see through you all these years…. it turns out you’re my kindred spirit.”
There was a lot of discussion around, and many people were also watching Yan Huang’s reaction, since he was the one trying to unify the Gods Clan. Lin Zhen had just spoken out of turn, and Yan Huang had to show some kind of response.
Yan Huang’s handsome face, however, didn’t show any fluctuations; he simply looked at Lin Zhen with a sudden coldness in his eyes.
Lin Zhen was secretly on guard, but he didn’t think Yan Huang would make a move at this time.
While Lin Zhen might not be a match for experts in the Meteor Stage, avoiding them would not be a problem at all. Moreover, Yan Huang had just started integrating the Star Sky Divine Teaching, and if he were to attack just because someone opposed his doctrine, it would be harmful rather than beneficial to both his reputation and that of the Divine Teaching.
As expected, Yan Huang finally spoke up.
“Lin Zhen, given my identity, I don’t deign to debate doctrine with you here, but I can tell you that your actions are absolutely unwise, and offending the Gods Clan won’t do you any good.”
With that, Yan Huang turned his gaze towards the ancient market and the Ancient God City.
“You want to explore this place, right? As far as I know, the climate on the second floor of the Ancient God City is extremely harsh, and it’s impossible to pass without equipment or medicine that can withstand extreme heat or cold. So, you should never make it through the second floor.”
“How can you be so confident?” Lin Zhen scoffed.
“Just because of my identity.” Yan Huang said and then turned to the people around him: “All I have to say is that no one should do business or trade with Lin Zhen, and no one should sell anything to him. Of course, if he’s willing to pay more than ten times the price, everyone can sell to him. If you sell to him for less than that, I will be very unhappy, and I don’t want to see that happen.”
About a third of the people at the scene were Gods Clan believers, and they immediately responded to Yan Huang’s call. The remaining two-thirds listened to Yan Huang’s words and secretly weighed the consequences.
Was it worth offending Yan Huang and the Star Sky Divine Teaching for this money?
Seeing the hesitation in people’s minds, Yan Huang turned back to Lin Zhen with a smile: “Look, this is the difference that status brings. Lin Zhen, I know you have a lot of money, so you can spend it recklessly here. Everything is ten times the price, and I hope you still have money to spend.”
Allen beside him: “Let’s go, it’s time to unify the Gods Clan in Hua Xia.”
When Yan Huang and the others left, the martial artists who were left behind looked at Lin Zhen. Although some people agreed with Lin Zhen’s words, they still felt that it wasn’t worth provoking the Gods Clan for this matter, so they all left one after another.
Zhang Yue said from the side: “Damn! What’s so special about him? Lin Zhen, let’s not be the fools here, let’s go to another Ancient God’s site.”
But Lin Zhen just shook his head with a smile: “Why should I leave? Just because he said I should spend ten times the money, does that mean I will? I will stay here, and I will not only trade with these people but also make them take the initiative to come and trade with me.. This situation was broadcasted live, right? So let the facts prove everything and see if the so-called face of the Holy Son can withstand people’s greed!”
