Chapter 298: 298: The Mysterious Disappearance

In the midst of the storm, Lin Zhen looked up at the giant stone, his heart filled with shock and awe.

Ever since his reincarnation, there was almost nothing he feared, except for the nightmarish experience of his soul traveling through the black hole before his rebirth.

The black hole can be considered the most terrifying place in the universe, where all matter is infinitely compressed.

An entire planet can be compressed into a basketball-sized object in a black hole, where a steel-ball-like object can weigh millions of tons!

This compressed matter has a name: neutron!

The devouring power of the black hole comes from its matter. When an object is infinitely compressed, it generates an immense gravitational force, which may very well exceed the speed of light!

What does it mean to exceed the speed of light?

Light travels at a speed of 300,000 kilometers per second, but within the range of the black hole’s gravity, even light cannot escape, proving that the speed of the black hole’s gravity is greater than the speed of light.

Once an object’s movement speed surpasses the speed of light, time and space can be reversed.

Planets are born there, galaxies are destroyed there, time flows backward, and space is distorted. Bizarre events continuously occur. Lin Zhen’s soul was sucked into the black hole, and upon coming out, he was reborn.

Therefore, he vaguely knew about the existence of neutrons within the black hole.

Yet, he never expected that there would be a neutron from the black hole on Earth.

This neutron is only the size of a small stone, but its weight truly equals that of a mountain.

It was placed at the entrance of the Ancient God City. When Lin Zhen saw it clearly, he felt a chilling sensation down his soul.

It was a deep-rooted fear in his heart, and he hesitated to touch the neutron-transformed stone.

Seeing Lin Zhen standing still in front of the stone, the Indian elder leisurely waited behind him.

If possible, he didn’t want to confront Lin Zhen directly as well. The young man was strong, and the elder wasn’t confident in securing a win. When the reinforcements from the church arrived, no matter who killed Lin Zhen, he believed he wouldn’t miss out on the credit.

So he preferred to wait. There was less than a minute left, and Lin Zhen would be easily drained of life here.

With the elder not taking action, those at the star realm boundary wouldn’t dare to go and face death and, instead, stayed and awaited the outcome.

In the sky, a series of flying vehicles were rapidly approaching.

Just now, at the church, Yan Huang, the first Pope of the Divine Sect, was furious.

Today was the founding day of the church as well as his coronation day, yet, unexpectedly, it was ruined by Lin Zhen.

He had thought that issuing the order to hunt Lin Zhen down today would surely lead to Lin Zhen’s beheading, but he didn’t expect the young man to be so tough, killing thousands of people and forcing the church’s army to retreat.

Luckily, he had sent the Indian elder ahead of time, or otherwise, he would have lost face today.

Yan Huang had his reasons for sending the Indian elder. First, the elder’s spiritual power was exceptionally strong, reaching the diamond early stage, enabling him to disrupt Lin Zhen’s teleportation.

The second reason was that the elder possessed a strange stone.

This stone was from the New Delhi Church in India and was a treasure passed down for nearly a thousand years. Each Great Divine Sect leader could only formally take office if they could lift the stone.

If they couldn’t even move the small stone, they wouldn’t be acknowledged.

Yan Huang had seen this stone when he went to New Delhi and confirmed it as an extraordinary treasure. Its weight was immeasurable, and even he couldn’t lift it with his power.

The Indian elder told him that the stone weighed as much as a mountain. In India, children who wanted to attain the position of New Delhi’s Great Divine Sect leader had to practice in front of the stone since they were young.

By communicating with the stone through their spiritual power, the child who successfully established a connection with the stone could control it and put it away.

This Indian elder was that fortunate child. He became the Great Divine Sect leader and, due to his communication with the stone, his spiritual power skyrocketed from the dark gold late stage to the diamond early stage.

Yan Huang had long believed that Lin Zhen would try to go to the Ancient God City, so he sent the Indian elder to ensure that Lin Zhen could not enter.

Yan Huang was someone who cared about his reputation and didn’t want to be criticized for sending too many elders at once, making his victory less glorious. However, he had not anticipated Lin Zhen’s ferocity, as he eliminated so many people from the Divine Sect and forced him to send a second batch of elders.

This time, Allen, the Great Divine Sect leader from Ice City Base City, took the initiative to volunteer, and together with eight other elders, a total of nine people headed to the Ancient God City to kill Lin Zhen!

Through the live video feed, Yan Huang watched the situation unfold, and seeing Lin Zhen finally blocked by the giant stone, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Excellent! Lin Zhen cannot enter the Ancient God City, so he definitely won’t escape the pursuit of our ten elders. You must know that both Allen and Adams from the European Union are on the Star List, and they’re more than capable of taking care of Lin Zhen.”

“Although sending out ten elders is somewhat shameful, it’s worth it to eliminate Lin Zhen. Without Lin Zhen’s death, it will be difficult for the Divine Sect’s reputation to recover, and Su Mingyue will never give up.”

Yan Huang sat on the high Pope’s throne, waiting for the victory message from the ten elders.

As the flying vehicles in the sky approached, everyone at the scene and watching the video believed that Lin Zhen was finished this time. They didn’t know what was on his mind. Why could such a stone block him?

Many Hua Xia viewers even excitedly shouted, “Break that stone, Lin Zhen, what are you doing?”

“The enemy is coming. If you don’t break it now, it’ll be too late!”

Unfortunately, Lin Zhen couldn’t hear any of these. His heart was struggling intensely at the moment.

“What should I do? I dare not get close to it, I even want to retreat…”

“If I hadn’t discovered it, it would be fine, but now that I have, my soul is resisting, and I instinctively want to stay away from it.”

Lin Zhen was terrified of everything inside the black hole. This was a deeply buried fear that no one knew about. In his plan after his rebirth, the only thing he didn’t want to think about or couldn’t find a solution to was this matter.

What would he do when he returned to that point in time?

Fate would not favor a person twice. If he still had no solution at that time, he might be reduced to ashes.

Today, encountering a small fundamental substance from the black hole unexpectedly awakened Lin Zhen’s deep-seated fear.

“No! I must persist. If I can’t even face the most basic tiny neutron from the black hole, I will definitely die when the time comes.”

“Although this is an accident, it is also an opportunity to be prepared for the appearance of the black hole in advance. I must overcome this fear.”

Lin Zhen raised his head and forced himself to come in front of the giant rock.

His hands seemed to be carrying a weight of tens of millions of pounds, slowly lifting up, and his forehead was sweating mixed with rainwater, pouring down with an incredibly strong will, pressing his hands on the giant rock.

“Ugh!”

Lin Zhen tried hard to push the giant rock, but it was like a dragonfly shaking a stone pillar, having no effect whatsoever.

“Hahaha! Lin Zhen, don’t be delusional! I told you, this stone is like the sands of the Ganges River, one sand, one world, weighing as much as a mountain.

Your insignificant strength can’t move it.”

Lin Zhen couldn’t push it, so he raised his hand, intending to use his Spiritual Power to collect it directly into his Space Ring.

But it was still useless; the giant rock remained motionless.

“Hehe, if you want to store it in a Space Ring, you have to be able to move it first. If you can’t even make it move a little bit, how can you collect it?”

Lin Zhen clenched his teeth tightly, took out the Seven Kills Spear, and swept away the sand below the stone, clearing a large area.

He originally thought the stone would tilt, revealing a gap in the entrance, and then he could teleport. But unexpectedly, the stone instantly grew a little bigger, still firmly blocking the entrance.

“I told you it’s no use. This stone won’t sink down because of the soft ground. This is the miracle of the Ganges River sands. Lin Zhen, you’d better just give up.”

Lin Zhen still didn’t give up. He raised his hand again, and the Dark Star’s gravity was released!

The gravity of the Dark Star was already incredibly powerful. Lin Zhen could even snatch flying vehicles from the sky with a wave of his hand, but he still couldn’t move the neutron.

“Why? Why can the Indian elder move the neutron, but I can’t? What exactly is the reason?”

Lin Zhen was still making an effort, covering the giant rock with his Spiritual Power.

“Huh…what is this…?”

As his Spiritual Power entered the neutron, he saw an incredible sight!

At this time, the flying vehicles carrying reinforcements had already landed, and nine golden-robed elders from the Divine Sect disembarked.

Among them were Allen from Ice City and Adams from the Great Divine Sect of the European Union’s Paris Base City.

These two were clearly stronger than the others, and they joined the Indian elder’s side. Ten golden-robed elders stood side by side, slowly approaching Lin Zhen.

As they walked, Allen said, “Lin Zhen, accept your fate. You should have been prepared for the consequences of opposing the church. Although I admire your courage, I still have to say that you are a fool.”

The ten elders walked to Lin Zhen’s side, activating their Star Power together. Suddenly, the surrounding area was filled with flickering starlight. Under these circumstances, Lin Zhen could not only fly, but he couldn’t even teleport.

They won!

Lin Zhen was finally finished. He had been captured alive by the joint efforts of the ten elders.

For a moment, there was a wave of cheers throughout the world. All the believers of the Gods Clan denounced Lin Zhen, the demon who was finally caught. Some congratulated Pope Yan Huang, some even suggested bringing Lin Zhen back for a trial by fire.

Yan Huang’s eyes narrowed slightly. Perhaps he could use Lin Zhen’s life as a bargaining chip to force the Saintess, who seemed to dislike him, to do something everyone loves to do.

“Allen, catch him alive.”

He sent a command to Allen via his cell phone.

“As you wish, Your Majesty.”

Allen stepped forward, reaching out to grab Lin Zhen’s clothes: “Lin Zhen, give up resisting…”

His fingers brushed past, but only caught a handful of air.

Under everyone’s watchful gaze, with the star power blockade of the ten elders, and when the entire world believed that Lin Zhen would be captured, he mysteriously vanished..
