Holy Son of the Divine Cult
Lin Zhen began to stroll around the town.
Quite a few people here recognize Lin Zhen. After all, Lin Zhen is a celebrity now, especially after the news broke that Lin Zhen defeated Li Yao in the Ancient God City. People here no longer just know Lin Zhen, but also show him a bit of respect.
It's not about respecting his personality, nor about respecting the glory he brought to Huaxia, but about respecting his strength.
For martial artists, especially those of higher levels, strength is the most important thing.
After Lin Zhen demonstrated his strength in defeating Star Realm Warrior, those War God no longer dared to treat Lin Zhen with the same respect.
"Hey! Lin, come and take a look at this animal skin Skirt Armor from Brasilia. It's made from the skin of a anaconda and infused with cold elemental energy, so it can withstand temperatures up to 100 degrees Celsius. With your strength, you'll definitely be heading to the Second Layer, right? This soft armor is perfect for you. It'll sell for 6 billion to someone else, but you can take it for 5.5 billion."
Lin Zhen glanced at the Brazil: "But I just heard you bidding 5 billion, how come the price has gone up when it comes to me?"
The Brazil was a little embarrassed because he hadn't expected Lin Zhen have such good hearing, but he still chuckled and said, "Lin, you're a tycoon. You can take out 600 billion to build a city wall for your country. I'm sure you wouldn't care about 300 or 500 million."
"No! I care, and I hate it when people take advantage of me."
As soon as Lin Zhen walked past that stall, someone from the next stall immediately called out to him.
"Lin, look at this great stuff from the African Union. This is Ice Crystal obtained from South Pole. Wearing one can protect you from the heatwave for an hour. You can wear it to the second pole. It's only one billion."
Lin Zhen looked down at the Ice Crystal. The so-called Ice Crystal was taken from an iceberg that had been frozen for thousands of years. It was the core of the cold energy and the temperature was extremely low. Although the one in front of him was also chilling, it clearly had traces of artificial carving. It should be a piece of ordinary ice that had been infused with cold energy. It was a fake.
Lin Zhen pouted. "Is this Ice Crystal?"
"Absolutely true, there's no mistake whatsoever. I went through a lot of trouble to bring it back from South Pole," the black War God said to Lin Zhen with an honest expression.
"Okay, I'll put it in a flame in a bit. If it doesn't melt in the flame for an hour, I'll buy it."
The black man suddenly felt a little guilty. "Um... I'm afraid I have to leave in a bit and can't wait that long. If you really like it, take the five hundred million."
"I'll consider it for a million, otherwise forget it."
Lin Zhen put the piece of ice down and continued walking forward.
Although he was wealthy, he didn't spend money recklessly. With his discerning eye, he could naturally tell what was truly good, what was counterfeit, what was good value for money, and what was overpriced.
They came to a stall where a seven-piece set of armor was displayed.
Helmet, armor, leg guards, arm guards, Skirt Armor armor, shield, Long Sword —judging by their design, they are all Sacred Artifact!
But upon closer inspection, Lin Zhen realized that this set of Sacred Artifact was also fake. It was just Low-Grade Star Weapon that had been tampered with. Moreover, there was a sign in front of the stall that read, "Catching the trend, high-quality replica of the seven-piece Holy Light Set, the complete set is priced at seven billion!"
"Heh, this guy actually posted it outright, that's quite interesting."
Lin Zhen was about to leave with a smile when the stall owner behind the stall suddenly called out to him.
"Idol!"
Lin Zhen was stunned. He looked up and saw that the fat man squatting behind the stall was actually Zhang Yue!
"Zhang Yue! What are you doing here?"
Since the Star Fruit Tree and Zhang Yue parted ways, Lin Zhen has never seen him again; it's as if the kid has vanished into thin air.
Zhang Yue was also incredibly excited to see Lin Zhen. He immediately pulled Lin Zhen to the stall, then hung up a "Temporarily Closed" sign. He said to Lin Zhen, "Idol! You really came! I just saw the video of you defeating Li Yao, and I thought you might come out of there. I didn't expect to actually run into you, haha! You're really amazing."
Lin Zhen hadn't seen Zhang Yue for a long time, so she sat down and chatted with him.
"After we parted ways inside the Star Fruit Tree, where did you go? Why haven't I heard from you since?"
"Sigh, don't even mention it. After we separated, I found a secluded place to cultivate, but later I was chased by an older student. With nowhere else to go, I had no choice but to leave the Star Fruit Tree. I'm considered a deserter from the God General Training Camp."
Zhang Yue sighed, "But I know your story after that. An idol is an idol. You actually managed to defeat the Little Overlord and win over the Saintess Su. Everything you did was earth-shattering. I admire you to death."
Lin Zhen glanced at Zhang Yue's cultivation level. This kid was only a first-level War God, and his Dantian Qi was not compressed at all. Compared with himself now, it was like heaven and earth.
Lin Zhen's cultivation speed is too fast. Many people who used to be with him have gradually fallen behind and become people from two different worlds.
Zhang Yue began to tell his story. After leaving the Star Fruit Tree, he wandered in the Wilderness Area outside. He hadn't been a Level 1 War God for long. He said he preferred doing business and reselling things, and had made a lot of money over the years.
At first, Zhang Yue felt quite proud when the topic of money came up, but when he thought of Lin Zhen's feat of donating 30 billion and then spending another 600 billion to build the city wall, he immediately lowered his head. His little bit of money was nothing in Lin Zhen's eyes.
However, Zhang Yue was very good at self-adjustment and immediately said, "I don't compare myself to my idol. There are very few people in this world who can compare to you. Comparing myself to you would be like asking for trouble. I'm not that bad."
Lin Zhen smiled too. People like Zhang Yue have an optimistic mindset. Although they are not geniuses, they tend to live longer.
Looking at the suit of armor on Zhang Yue's stall, Lin Zhen said, "You dare to ask for seven billion for a suit of armor like this? Low-Grade Star Weapon are worthless now. I bet it's not even worth two billion. Do you think you can sell it?"
"Hehe, idol, it's true you're a genius, but when it comes to business, you might not be as good as me, Zhang Yue. Or maybe you're too busy cultivating every day to know as much about market trends as I do. Do you know how popular this kind of armor is right now?"
"Trendy? It's just Low-Grade Star Weapon, what's so trendy about that?"
Lin Zhen looked at the armor strangely. It was shimmering with light and looked quite dazzling, as if there was some light element energy in it, but it didn't seem to have any real power enhancement to the armor.
"Hehe, idol, take a closer look. This is modeled after the Holy Light Armor of the Holy Son."
"Holy Son? Holy Light Armor? What is that?" Lin Zhen was stunned.
"Wow! Idol, you're so out of touch! You don't even know the hottest Holy Son right now!"
As he spoke, Zhang Yue took out his phone and said, "You really are a cultivation fanatic. The matter of the Holy Son has been around for almost a week and has already swept the globe. Now the whole world is talking about it. To be honest, if there is anyone in the world who can compare to your idol, I think this Holy Son is definitely one of them."
Zhang Yue found a webpage with a picture on it and handed it to Lin Zhen.
"Look, this super handsome guy is the Holy Son, the Holy Son of the Constantinople Church of the European Union and the Great God Sect, currently the highest leader of the Starry Sky God Sect, a master of the Meteor Stage, a half-Eastern and half-Western person. His name in the European Union is Lucifer, and his name in Huaxia is Yan Huang."
Lin Zhen took the phone. The phone showed a handsome mixed-race man. He was very handsome and of mixed Eastern and Western descent. He looked to be no more than thirty years old. He was extremely handsome with a cold and stern face, long, soft blond hair, and a pair of deep black eyes. He looked somewhat like a marble statue from Divine Cult.
Zhang Yue also showed Lin Zhen some pictures. "And this one, this is a picture of him wearing the Holy Light Set. It turns out that the Holy Light Set is a real Sacred Artifact, a legacy of the Starry Sky God Sect. Only by wearing this set can one be recognized as a Holy Son. It seems that since the establishment of the Divine Cult, there have only been three Holy Son, including him."
In the photo, Yan Huang is dressed in Sacred Artifact, his body radiating light, like a god looking down on the mortal world.
There were even photos of him independently killing an SS -S-Class Mutated Beast, and he was wearing this armor.
Lin Zhen also possessed the power of radiance. Through the light emanating from this person, he could tell that this person had definitely resonated with the Radiance Atoms and had cultivated the Radiance Power to an extreme!
Lin Zhen closed her eyes slightly and recalled some things.
The Holy Son of the Starry Sky God Sect has a lineage, unlike the Holy Maiden who are found in various countries. There is only one Holy Son, and he has always come from the European Union, the origin of the Divine Cult.
The Divine Might Grand Cathedral in Constantinople, the Base City of the European Union, is the birthplace of the Starry Sky God Sect. Not long after the God Transformation Day, the Starry Sky God Sect was founded. Its first pope was not called the Great God Sect, but the Holy Son, who was said to be a superhuman figure who could communicate with the True God.
The first Holy Son was named Karen, who was the founder of the Starry Sky God Sect. At that time, the Starry Sky God Sect still regarded the European Union as the most important. However, later Karen no longer served as the Holy Son and the Great God Sect, and handed over the power to the next leader.
The most important requirement for the Holy Son's inheritance is to gain recognition from the Holy Light Set left by Karen.
The Holy Light Set is a complete set of Sacred Artifact, including seven items: armor, Skirt Armor, helmet, leg guards, arm guards, Long Sword, and shield.
This set of Holy Light Set was Karen's old weapon. After he left, he left the set in Constantinople Church, waiting for the next Holy Son to inherit it.
However, the next leader did not inherit the Holy Son's legacy and was simply called the Great God Sect. He no longer had the status of the Holy Son. In addition, with the gradual cessation of air travel to various places, the Starry Sky God Sect was thus torn apart.
In the centuries that followed, another "Holy Son" emerged, named Baggio, who once brought glory to the European Union's Starry Sky God Sect. However, after Baggio, no one else came along.
To become Holy Son, one must not only inherit the Holy Light Set, but also possess at least the power of the Stellar Realm, and have exceptional talent. In terms of appearance, wisdom, methods, and so on, one must be an outstanding individual.
According to Lin Zhen's memories from his previous life, the European Union did indeed have a third Holy Son a few years before the Second Cataclysm. He was an outstanding man and seemed to be of mixed Eastern and Western descent.
This event caused quite a stir, with the whole world Holy Son the appearance of the Holy Son as if it were a festival. All Divine Cult took to the streets to cheer and celebrate, considering that nearly half of the world's population, whether martial artists or ordinary people, are followers of this Divine Cult.
However, that was a Stellar Realm expert, far removed from Lin Zhen's past life. Lin Zhen was not a follower of the Divine Cult and did not pay much attention to this matter. Moreover, after the cataclysm, all countries in the world were busy resisting the invasion of Extraterrestrial Civilization and did not pay much attention to the situation abroad. Lin Zhen had not heard of the Holy Son's death in battle and did not know where he had gone, so Lin Zhen's impression was somewhat vague.
Just as Lin Zhen was about to ask again, a Black Phantom suddenly flew over from the sky, bearing the Starry Sky God Sect's insignia.
"It's Yan Huang! Yan Huang, Lucifer's flying vehicle, the Holy Son has come here."
Someone said something, and then everyone looked up at the sky.
A minor character appears in this chapter: Holy Son Yan Huang of the Divine Cult, is the Hall Master of this book (Dianfeng Zhi Yanhuang).
