Farewell to Ming Yue
Seeing this, Lin Zhen secretly pondered that his rebirth had not caused much change; the things that were supposed to happen were still happening the same way.
In its previous life Ice City Base City was the third large Base City on Earth to fall to the enemy. The first was Cape Town of the African Union, and the second was Amazon Base City in Brazil. Each of them was about half a year apart.
However, the situation in Ice City is not quite the same as those two places. The African Union countries do not have many Base City, and Cape Town is located at the southernmost tip, far away from other countries. Moreover, it is a disaster area where Mutated Beast are rampant. In addition, the African Union's technological strength is relatively weak, so it was only a matter of time before it fell.
The situation in Brazil is similar. The number of Mutated Beast in Rio is not much less than in Africa, and the Amazon River Basin is teeming with Water Monster. The establishment of the Amazon Base City was a mistake, and it could not withstand the onslaught after six months, so it was eventually Xuan Ze.
The fall of Ice City Base City was somewhat of a man-made disaster. Problems in city construction and the negligence of the administrators led to this catastrophe.
Of course, even without human intervention, the Mutated Beast siege of Ice City was still quite massive.
At this moment, the television broadcast continued, "Because it is not a member of the World God of War Alliance, the African Union did not receive support from the God of War Alliance when the Cape Town Base City was under siege. The African Union has now formally proposed to join the God of War Alliance, and has received support from countries including China, India, and Brazil. The three member states of the World God of War Alliance have stated that they will provide a solution soon."
Upon seeing this, Gongsun Du turned off the TV. "The World God of War Alliance is still controlled by the America, the European Union, and Tsarist Russia. Will joining it give you any say? You'd be better off using that energy to spread the doctrines of my Divine Cult."
Lin Zhen didn't respond to that. It was pointless for him to discuss the existence of the Starry Sky True God with Gongsun Du. As for the World God of War Alliance's formation, he knew something about it. Apparently, a God of War Arena was held to determine the order of the God of War Alliance. In his previous life, Huaxia performed moderately in the God of War Arena, ranking fourth, a somewhat awkward position that was neither high nor low.
Later, things got tense between Huaxia and other countries, and China even considered withdrawing from the God of War Alliance. But before anything could be resolved, the Second Human Revolution occurred, and these issues were dropped.
In his previous life Lin Zhen was not qualified to participate in the God of War Arena, and he didn't know if he would have the opportunity in this life.
Gongsun Du glanced at Lin Zhen, Lin Zhen nodded slightly to him. "Senior Gongsun."
Gongsun Du nodded, then looked at Su Mingyue: "Yue'er, where's the Star Gazing Mirror?"
"I broke it," Su Mingyue replied softly.
"Where is it? How did it break?"
Lin Zhen immediately pulled out the fragments of the Star Gazing Mirror: "Senior Gongsun, the Star Gazing Mirror is with me. This is how it was broken."
He naturally couldn't let Su Mingyue explain these things, so he immediately recounted the general process of how the Star Gazing Mirror was damaged. Upon hearing Su Mingyue's action of touching the Star Strike, Gongsun Du's forehead veins seemed to throb, and he looked at Lin Zhen with unfriendly eyes.
Su Mingyue hurriedly said to Gongsun Du, "Master, Lin Zhen said he will repair the Star Gazing Mirror."
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Du sneered, "Is that so? You actually have such great abilities? You dare to claim you can repair the Star Gazing Mirror after just entering the War God Realm? I, Gongsun Du, have been in the Stellar Realm for quite some years, and I've never heard of anyone who can repair Star Artifact. May I ask how I should address you?"
"Senior Gongsun, my name is Lin Zhen." Lin Zhen raised his head, neither humble nor arrogant. Although Gongsun Du was a person worthy of his respect, Lin Zhen would never bow his head to anyone in this life.
"I saw you fight Yue Zhenhua just now, and you displayed the demeanor of a true hero. Now you even say you can repair the Star Gazing Mirror. I have to admire you. How about I call you Hero Lin?"
Faced with Gongsun Du's teasing, Lin Zhen smiled and said, "I dare not accept the title of 'great hero,' but if I could become the son-in-law of a Divine Cult..."
"Don't even think about it!"
Gongsun Du, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, glared angrily at Lin Zhen: "Lin Zhen, do you know what the Star Gazing Mirror means to our Divine Cult?"
Before Lin Zhen could answer, Gongsun Du continued, "That is Sacred Object of our Divine Sect, the inheritance of the Holy Maiden. Now that Yue'er broke the Star Gazing Mirror to save you, her Holy Maiden can no longer be passed down. In other words, she will have to remain the Holy Maiden forever."
"To remain Holy Maiden forever?" Lin Zhen was taken aback.
"That's right, the Holy Maiden Yue'er the Divine Cult must remain pure. If Yue'er marries, she must continue the Holy Maiden's legacy. But now the Star Gazing Mirror, the legacy of the Holy Maiden, is gone, and the legacy cannot continue. You dare to shamelessly tell me you'll repair the Star Gazing Mirror? Fine! Then I can promise you, if the Star Gazing Mirror is repaired and Yue'er is willing, she can marry you. If you can't do that, then I'm sorry Lin Zhen, you won't even be qualified to be Yue'er's friend anymore!"
Lin Zhen didn't care about Gongsun Du's words. First of all, he was confident that he still had a chance to repair the Star Gazing Mirror. Now that he had entered the War God stage, he would try to explore the Ancient God Ruins. He believed that he would find some Star Artifact and practice his skills. Star Shift was not impossible; it just needed a little time.
Even if he can't fix it, the Divine Cult is nearing its end. Calculating the time, there's still almost a year until the fall of Ice City, and less than six years until the arrival of the Extraterrestrial Civilization.
The arrival of Extraterrestrial Civilization brought an end to the Divine Cult cult, but Lin Zhen didn't want to drag things out for so long.
However, Su Mingyue seemed to have a lot of confidence in Lin Zhen: "Lin Zhen, you'll fix it quickly, right?"
Before Lin Zhen could answer, Gongsun Du snorted coldly, "Putting aside whether he can fix it or not, he'll probably be in a mess when he gets home. He's offended Yue Zhenhua, does he still think he can survive in Raging Wind? He'll probably have a hard time even surviving in Ice City. He should solve his own problems first."
Lin Zhen didn't really care about this matter. Even if he really couldn't stay in Raging Wind anymore, he had already passed the initial stage of accumulating wealth. Lin Zhen had advanced to the level of War God and had money, so he could cultivate and live anywhere.
The UFO's speed gradually slowed down, and the Capital City Base City came into view.
Currently, there are 27 Base City in the seven major countries of the world. Among them, Capital City Base City, Huaxia; New York Base City America; Saint Petersburg Base City, Tsarist Russia; Paris Base City, the European Union; and New Delhi Base City, India are the largest.
The Capital City of Huaxia has the largest population among all the Base City Base City, with a population of over 100 million, which is much larger than Anno Domini Era.
When the UFO approached, radar scanned it and, after identifying it as belonging to the Divine Cult, it remained silent. Gongsun Du's UFOs were exempt from inspection when entering and leaving the Capital City.
The UFO flew all the way to the sky above the God's Grace Cathedral and began to slowly descend.
After exiting the UFO, Gongsun Du said to Lin Zhen, "Hero Lin, would you like to visit our Church?"
Just as Lin Zhen was about to answer, Gongsun Du immediately said, "Seeing that you have no interest in my Divine Cult, let's skip the tour. I've already told you what I needed to say. You are not allowed to meet Yue'er until you repair the Star Gazing Mirror. I'm taking Yue'er back now. She still has to fulfill her responsibility as Holy Maiden and spread the doctrines of the Divine Cult, so she can't play along with your nonsense, Lin the Hero."
Su Mingyue glanced at Gongsun Du, then at Lin Zhen, blinked her big eyes a few times, and then her eyes reddened, her long eyelashes began to droop.
"Then I need to speak with Yue'er alone for a few minutes."
"Go to the UFO and tell them you have five minutes, Yue'er. You must be back in five minutes." With that, Gongsun Du strode into the Church.
This was what he promised Allen, and it was also his own idea. Taking Su Mingyue away wouldn't be so easy. Originally, Gongsun Du would rather let Su Mingyue continue to serve as the Holy Maiden, so that she could stay by his side. He would rather break up the lovers than give Lin Zhen a chance.
But that was a last resort when there was no other way. I never expected that Lin Zhen, that idiot, would dare to boast that he could fix the Star Gazing Mirror just to pick up girls, and that the silly girl Yue'er would believe him. Well then, don't blame Gongsun Du for being ruthless. If you, Lin Zhen, don't ever think about Yue'er again until you fix the Star Gazing Mirror.
As for whether Lin Zhen really had the possibility of repairing the Star Gazing Mirror, Gongsun Du scoffed, saying that it was simply Tian Fang. Not only could Lin Zhen not do it, but he, Gongsun Du, could not do it either. No one in history had ever been able to do it.
Lin Zhen and Su Mingyue boarded the flying saucer. As soon as they entered, Su Mingyue's soft body rushed over and buried her head in Lin Zhen's arms without saying a word.
"Yue'er, we will meet again. I promise that day won't be long."
"Hmm!" Su Mingyue nodded listlessly, and Lin Zhen felt a dampness on his chest.
"My dear Yue'er, let me see if you've cried your way to a messy face."
Lin Zhen cupped Su Mingyue's pretty face and gently kissed her alluring red lips.
A minute later, Su Mingyue buried her face in Lin Zhen's chest again, refusing to let Lin Zhen kiss her again.
Lin Zhen knew she was shy, and if it weren't for the impending separation, he wouldn't have succeeded so easily. He gently stroked her hair, feeling a little emotional. This peerless beauty was actually his girlfriend. This was not part of Lin Zhen's plans after his rebirth, but since it had happened, Lin Zhen was determined to protect her.
"Yue'er, you can call me if you miss me. Communication between the Base City has been restored now, and it's very convenient to stay connected online."
"I will." Su Mingyue took out her phone. Both her and Lin Zhen's phones had been charging on the UFO. She only had two contacts on her phone: her Master and Ye Lan Shan. She was still a little clumsy when typing Lin Zhen's name, obviously not very skilled.
"Lin Zhen, let's take a picture together."
Lin Zhen nodded and snuggled up to Su Mingyue.
Both of them took out their phones, Lin Zhen smiled in the camera lens, his handsome face shining through.
Su Mingyue's hair was lightly tied up, and she took Lin Zhen's arm, resting her head gently on Lin Zhen's shoulder. She had tears in her eyes and her face was flushed with shyness, making her look as beautiful as a dream.
"Snap!"
The camera flashes, preserving the image forever.
