Challenging the Gods (Fourth Update)

Upon hearing Lin Zhen's words, Allen's expression immediately changed. "Lin Zhen, do you know who is standing in front of you?"

Lin Zhen glanced at Yan Huang: "The Third Holy Son of the Divine Cult, the whole world knows that now."

"Since you know this, how dare you speak like this? The Holy Son can communicate with the True God. Your actions are disrespectful to the divine."

"Hehe, I'm very sorry, but I don't believe in the Starry Sky True God. The food I eat, the clothes I wear, the house I live in, everything I've learned—none of it depends on the True God in the slightest. Why should I respect him?"

Allen sneered, "Where did you get the techniques you learned? And what kind of place is this Ancient God City? Without the God Transformation Day bringing all this, how could you have learned them?"

"The God Transformation Day? Actually, I have a slightly different opinion on this."

Lin Zhen stood up from behind the stall at this moment. Although he was talking to Allen, his gaze was fixed on Yan Huang across from him.

He finally remembered something. Yan Huang had indeed unified the Starry Sky God Sect, but when the Extraterrestrial Civilization descended, Su Mingyue discovered the true nature of the Starry Sky God Sect and was the first among the global Divine Cult followers to stand up and resist.

Before Su Mingyue, none of the followers of the Divine Cult resisted; instead, they warmly welcomed the arrival of the True God's army.

Although Lin Zhen was not very clear about the inside story of the Divine Cult, the global reaction was so consistent that it was undoubtedly related to the person in front of him.

Lin Zhen never believed in any so-called communication with the True God. That was just an excuse to deceive ignorant believers. The so-called True God was nothing more than a group of invading bandits. This Holy Son was definitely lying about this.

If he had stood up and resisted at this time in his previous life, Su Mingyue would not have been left to fight alone.

Whenever Lin Zhen recalls the memory of Yue'er's tragic death in her past life, her white robes falling to the dust, she feels a sharp pain in her heart.

Just like the poem that people praise her for, if there were no Su Mingyue in the world, who would be worthy of wearing white?

The Ming Yue is gone, and there is no longer a woman in white with such unparalleled grace.

Therefore, Yan Huang was also indirectly responsible for Su Mingyue's death.

Therefore, Lin Zhen absolutely cannot like this person, even though he has no grudge against Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen looked into Yan Huang's eyes. "What you saw was the cultivation technique brought by the God Transformation Day, and some things that don't exist on Earth. But you forgot the disaster, and you forgot the billions of innocent people who died. Was that Meteor Shower a gift from God? I don't think so. From a scientific point of view, it was a planet that shattered and crashed onto Earth. And everything that fell there is more like a relic from that planet."

"What is Earth? Earth is just a garbage dump. We humans are nothing more than scavenging for useful things in the garbage heap so that we can live a little better. It's laughable that you think it's a gift from God. So where is God? Apart from that Meteor Shower that brought death and disaster, what else have they given you?"

"Lin Zhen! You're utterly outrageous! You're challenging the Divine Cult!" Allen was so angry that his eyebrows and beard trembled. He had never seen such a bold person before.

In this era of rampant religion, the Starry Sky God Sect is the only sect, with nearly half the world's population being Divine Cult followers. No one has ever dared to make such outrageous statements in public, completely denying everything about the Divine Cult.

Moreover, this was happening in front of the newly appointed Holy Son of the Divine Cult, which Allen found utterly absurd. Had Lin Zhen gone mad?

Even Zhang Yue looked at Lin Zhen in disbelief. What was wrong with his idol? Could he just say such things so casually? Although Zhang Yue didn't believe in Divine Cult, there were far too many believers in the world.

If Lin Zhen's words were to spread, they would surely provoke public outrage.

Lin Zhen wasn't crazy. He knew exactly what he was doing. He clearly remembered the most devastating casualties on Earth when Extraterrestrial Civilization descended upon the Extraterrestrial Civilization.

At that time, people had almost no sense of vigilance, and the Divine Cult was welcoming the arrival of the gods' army, while non- Divine Cult believers were just watching the show.

The invaders arrived with a seemingly friendly demeanor, and then suddenly launched a massacre against all non- Divine Cult. The first attack killed too many people, and even many experts were targeted and died on the spot.

The Divine Cult also attempted to defend the invaders, claiming they were eliminating heretics and that people would be safe once they joined the Divine Cult.

The Su Mingyue incident also occurred around that time. The kind-hearted girl could not bear the brutality of the invaders and rose up in resistance. With her frail body and her blood, she awakened many believers who were still blindly misled by the higher-ups of the Divine Cult.

Then came the Gongsun Du incident, followed by an increasing number of followers of the Divine Cult who began to resist, eventually leading the invaders to tear off their mask of hypocrisy and begin a full-scale massacre.

Then came a long period of human resistance, which ultimately failed. Countless experts and geniuses perished, and humanity was completely conquered, becoming slaves of the invaders. Finally, the Great Migration took place, and humanity left its home planet. By the time Lin Zhen was reborn, the lineage of Earth had almost been completely wiped out. Encountering another Earthling was a luxury. To learn about Earth, one could only glean fragments from elementary school textbooks in interstellar space. They were nothing more than a group of slave natives conquered by an advanced civilization, long since submerged in the eternal Long River of time.

Lin Zhen is not a savior; he does not believe he can save everyone. However, Earth is his home, and his family and friends are all here. If he wants to change all of this, then he must take the first step to make people wary of the so-called Starry Sky True God and stop blindly believing that they are deities.

However, the Divine Cult has been established for nearly a thousand years, and its ideas are deeply rooted in people's minds. Changing it is definitely not something that can be done overnight.

This first step might bring him some trouble, and some believers might not understand him, but Lin Zhen didn't care. With his current strength, what could those people do?

Moreover, true Stellar Realm experts may not actually believe in the Starry Sky God Sect. They believe in power. As long as they demonstrate enough power, even if someone has objections, they have to obediently keep quiet.

Now, facing Yan Huang, this is Lin Zhen's opportunity, his first step in changing people's minds. As long as Lin Zhen succeeds in this matter, he is certain that 99.99% of the people on Earth will become his most loyal followers.

Moreover, the day when Extraterrestrial Civilization arrive is not far off; there are still about four years left, which will arrive in the blink of an eye with a little cultivation.

Some people at the scene were dissatisfied with Lin Zhen's words, but in front of the Holy Son and Allen, no one dared to speak recklessly, and many people secretly took pictures with their mobile phones.

"Am I being presumptuous? Many people might think so, but let me tell you, when you look back at what I just said one day, you'll realize that I was absolutely right!"

Lin Zhen had been holding these words in his heart for a long time, and when he finally spoke them, they were powerful and resonated deeply with people. After all, although nearly half of the world's population were followers of the Starry Sky God Sect, more than half did not believe in the Divine Cult. Lin Zhen's words were forceful and resonated with many people.

"I also think the Divine Cult is a bit of a fraud, but it's none of my business, so I don't want to get involved. Lin Zhen is too brave."

"Of course Lin Zhen has courage. He has the strength and the resources. At least I believe that even if many followers of the Divine Cult are unhappy with Lin Zhen, he will not be in any danger in Huaxia. After all, he has done too many good things for Huaxia. If an ordinary person said this, he would probably be Human Path destroyed by countless followers of the Divine Cult."

"That's true. Only Lin Zhen could say that, and only he would dare to say it. But I support Lin Zhen's statement."

"I also support Lin Zhen."

"Aren't you a follower of the Divine Cult religion? Why would you support Lin Zhen?"

"I can only be considered a half believer. Actually, half of the reason I joined the Divine Cult was to see Su Mingyue. But now that Su Mingyue is Lin Zhen's girlfriend, I might as well support Lin Zhen. Maybe this will make the Saintess Su look at me with more respect."

"Damn it! You pervert, how come I didn't see through you all these years? You're actually one of my kind."

There was a lot of discussion around, and many people were watching Yan Huang's performance. After all, he was going to unify the Divine Cult, and now that Lin Zhen was making such outrageous remarks in front of him, it would be unreasonable for him not to show some reaction.

Yan Huang's handsome face remained unchanged, but his gaze towards Lin Zhen suddenly turned cold.

Lin Zhen was slightly wary, but he didn't think Yan Huang would make a move at this moment.

While Lin Zhen is no match for Meteor Stage's experts, he can easily avoid them. Moreover, Yan Huang has just begun to integrate the Starry Sky God Sect. If he were to take action against someone for opposing his doctrines, it would be absolutely detrimental to both his reputation and the Divine Cult's standing.

Sure enough, Yan Huang finally spoke.

"Lin Zhen, given my status, I wouldn't stoop to arguing with you about doctrine here, but I can tell you that your actions are absolutely irrational, and offending the Divine Cult will not do you any good."

As he spoke, Yan Huang turned around and looked at the surrounding market, then at the Ancient God City.

"You're going to explore here, right? As far as I know, the Second Layer of the Ancient God City has an extremely harsh climate. Without equipment and medicine for extreme heat or cold, it's impossible to get through. In that case, you should never go through the Second Layer."

"What makes you so confident?" Lin Zhen sneered.

"Based on my status," Yan Huang said, then addressed the Human Path around him, "I only have one thing to say to everyone: no one should do business with Lin Zhen, and no one should sell him anything. Of course, if he's willing to pay ten times the price, then you can sell to him. But if you sell to him for less than that price, I will be very unhappy. I don't want to see that happen."

About a third of the people present were followers of the Divine Cult and immediately responded to Yan Huang's call. The remaining two-thirds, upon hearing Yan Huang's words, also pondered the matter in their hearts.

Is it really worth offending Yan Huang and the Starry Sky God Sect for this money?

Seeing the people's hesitation, Yan Huang turned to Lin Zhen and smiled, "See? This is the difference that comes with status. Lin Zhen, I know you are very rich, so go ahead and splurge here. Everything is ten times the price. I hope you can still spend your money."

With that, Yan Huang stood up and walked towards the Black Phantom, saying to Allen beside him, "Let's go to Huaxia. It's time for the Divine Cult to unify."

Yan Huang and his companion left. The surrounding martial artists glanced at Lin Zhen. Although some supported Lin Zhen's words, they felt it wasn't worth offending the Divine Cult over this matter, so they all left.

Zhang Yue chimed in from the side, "Damn! What's with the attitude? Lin Zhen, let's not be the suckers. Let's find another Ancient God Ruins to hang out with."

Lin Zhen smiled and shook his head, "Why should I leave? Did you think I'd spend ten times the money just because he told me to? I'm staying here. I'm not only going to trade with the people here, but I'm also going to make them come to me to trade. Wasn't this all broadcast live? Let the facts prove everything. Let's see if his so-called ' Holy Son's face' can really withstand people's greed!"
