Temptation of the True God

Looking at the fireball exploding in the distance, Shen Lixing gripped his phone, his expression pained.

"It's over. The Divine Cult's airship fleet has been completely wiped out. We can't even get through to Allen's phone. He's probably doomed."

This scene was broadcast around the world. Although the annihilation of the Divine Cult's forces was gratifying, people were even more worried about the fate of Ice City.

"Look, there are people rushing this way!"

A City Defense Army soldier pointed into the distance and shouted loudly, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

People all looked in that direction and saw a person fighting fiercely against Mutated Beast in the distance, rapidly advancing towards them.

"My God, who is this? This guy is amazing!"

"He stormed in all by himself; he must be at least Stellar Realm expert, or even Star Ranking expert."

"It looks like Lin Zhen." An Ning recognized her beloved's figure first.

Sure enough, Lin Zhen quickly broke through the encirclement of the Mutated Beast and Teleport to the city wall of Ice City.

An Ning smiled as she looked at Lin Zhen. She had missed him terribly since they hadn't seen Lin Zhen other for a while, but with so many people around, An Ning could only smile and look at him.

Lin Zhen walked over and took An Ning's hand. "You've worked hard these past few days."

"It's good that you're back, so things won't be so hard anymore."

"Big Brother Lin, you're finally back! If you hadn't come back, we would have been bullied to death by others."

Many people around greeted Lin Zhen one by one, but Zhao Xiaoman ignored them and directly complained to Lin Zhen about Shen Lixing.

Seeing so many familiar faces, Lin Zhen was very happy, and finally her gaze fell on Zhao Xiaoman: "Oh! Someone dares to bully the willful and capricious Zhao Xiaoman? Who has the guts?"

"Isn't that our commander-in-chief? He's also leading the Divine Cult and forcing us to join the Divine Cult."

Lin Zhen's gaze fell on Shen Lixing, and after a few glances, he suddenly pointed at the two Divine Cult elders behind Shen Lixing: "There is not a single Divine Cult follower in Ice City. You two get out of here immediately."

The two Golden-Robed Elder of the Divine Cult didn't dare utter a sound when facing Lin Zhen, and silently jumped off the city wall.

A person's reputation precedes them. Lin Zhen had already killed too many members of the Divine Cult, and ordinary Stellar Realm dared not act recklessly in front of Lin Zhen, slinking away in disgrace.

Of course, Lin Zhen was confident that they couldn't escape; Little Warm was already waiting for them to come down.

After the two Divine Cult elders went down, they engaged in a fierce battle. After a short while, two screams came from below, and then there was no more movement.

Zhao Xiaoman continued, "Big Brother Lin, our commander-in-chief said that if you can save Ice City from its crisis, he will lead his men and break out of the encirclement naked."

Lin Zhen nodded. This Shen Lixing was the son of a high-ranking official in the country. It would be inappropriate to kill him in front of everyone. So let's give them a chance to break through.

But if you fail to break through and die, then it's none of Lin Zhen's business.

Lin Zhen looked at the crowd around him and said loudly, "Everyone, I'm late in addressing the siege of Ice City, but don't worry, this crisis will definitely pass. We can overcome this difficulty without relying on the Divine Cult."

"Boss Lin, we believe in you."

"Idol, tell us, what should we do?"

"Big Brother Lin, give the order. We will all follow your command."

Lin Zhen nodded. "The mission is simple. Everyone, provide cover fire for me. I'll go out and find One Against Ten Thousand and try to bring back good news for everyone."

An Ning and the others nodded in agreement. Over the years, Lin Zhen's Lin Zhen miracles had earned their complete trust in him.

Only Shen Lixing remained unconvinced, saying, "Lin Zhen, you'd better think this through. The safety of tens of millions of people in Ice City is at stake. You can't treat this lightly."

"Commander Shen, you should worry about how you're going to break out later. It's not so easy to get out naked."

Lin Zhen didn't want to waste any more words with this person. Although he was the son of a high-ranking official, he was as insignificant as an ant in Lin Zhen's eyes.

"I'll be back soon. Everyone remember, if the Mutated Beast show any signs of retreating, immediately drive these people out."

Lin Zhen greeted An Ning, and with a flap of his Lightning Wings headed straight west.

This time, Lin Zhen did not release Little Warm's aura, and the Mutated Bird Mutated Beast immediately rushed towards Lin Zhen.

However, with Lin Zhen's current strength, these low-level Mutated Beast could not possibly cause him any harm. Once his Mental Power shield was activated, all Seven Stars Knife rose into the air, unleashing a torrent of elemental energy as they hurtled towards the distance.

No matter the birds or beasts, they couldn't even get close to Lin Zhen's body before being torn to shreds by the elemental energy.

Watching Lin Zhen leave with a thunderous roar, the people of Ice City felt even more confident, awaiting news of Lin Zhen's victorious return.

********

In a secluded room in Constantinople, Yan Huang stared at the news on the internet, his eyes bloodshot.

Lin Zhen has actually emerged from the Ancient God City, and his strength has clearly increased significantly. Yan Huang is no longer confident of defeating Lin Zhen.

In particular, his Starry Sky Crown has not been fully refined yet, and his strength has not improved significantly compared to when he last met Lin Zhen.

The main reason was that he was restless. Tomorrow was the Grand Wedding day he had promised, but he still hadn't found Su Mingyue, and the wedding was going to be canceled.

Actually, it wasn't that he couldn't find Su Mingyue; he knew she was in the God's Grace Church in the Capital City Base City. However, Gongsun Du Su Mingyue to release her, and Yan Huang wasn't confident he could defeat Gongsun Du, so the matter dragged on.

With the time running out, he still hadn't been able to resonate with the largest and last gem on the Starry Sky Crown, which made him a little panicked.

"Am I really going to lose to Lin Zhen? No! I refuse to accept this!"

Yan Huang gripped the Starry Sky Crown Yan Huang, feeling incredibly unwilling.

"I'm willing to pay any price to defeat Lin Zhen!"

He said those words without realizing it.

He seemed to be hallucinating. The space in front of him opened slightly, and then a blue light screen appeared in that space, like an electronic screen floating in the air.

A person appeared inside, dressed in what looked like an officer's uniform, but Yan Huang had never seen this person before, nor had he ever seen such a uniform.

"Are you really willing to pay any price for victory?" This person was the first to speak to Yan Huang.

"Who are you?" Yan Huang.

"Take a look at this first, and you'll know who I am."

With a wave of his hand, an electronic display screen appeared in his palm, showing a series of images.

The first thing to appear is the vast starry sky.

The starry sky was beautiful and profound, and time and space seemed to be eternal there. Yan Huang was somewhat mesmerized by it.

A beautiful planet appeared, with an environment similar to Earth, featuring mountains, air, and oceans, as well as some humans. However, these humans differed slightly from Earthlings in appearance, possessing pointed ears.

The following scenes documented the lives of humans on this planet, including struggles, conspiracies, and killings—scenes reminiscent of human civilization unfolded before Yan Huang's eyes.

This planet also has a religion called the Sky Sect, and the deity they worship is called the Heavenly God. However, it seems to be similar to the Starry Sky True God worshipped by humans. The Sky Sect rules this planet.

Some powerful individuals have emerged on the planet, all at least at the Stellar Realm, including some at the third level of the Eternal Realm. They have overthrown the Sky Sect and seem to be establishing a new order.

Then, a hole appeared in space, and countless enormous warships sailed out of the hole and flew toward the planet.

What followed was a scene of endless war, with the planet's civilization nearly destroyed. The rebels of the Sky Sect were slaughtered one after another, and their resistance was utterly futile in the face of the invading powerful beings.

The Sky Sect has risen again, and all the people of this planet have been enslaved, forced to leave their homes and enter the vast universe.

The vastness of the universe and the richness of life immediately Yan Huang Huang's horizons. He felt like a frog in a well, with no idea that there was such a wonderful world outside.

There were flags everywhere, and the person on the flags was none other than the Starry Sky True God Yan Huang had long worshipped.

The True God sat cross-legged in the starry sky, his face obscured, but he held several stars in his hands.

"True God!"

Yan Huang couldn't help but exclaim. Although he was the Holy Son of the Divine Cult, he had doubted the existence of the True God. But now, this video, which was clearly not a composite, shattered his doubts and completely destroyed them. There really was a True God!

The person on the other side of the water screen turned off the video and then said to Yan Huang, "Yan Huang, Lucifer, now perhaps I should introduce myself. My name is Shu Mingxuan. You can call me Captain or Messenger, because I come from the True God's Kingdom."

"The True God's Kingdom True God's Kingdom exists."

"That's right, the True God's Kingdom truly exists, and in the near future, the army of the True God that you see in the picture will descend upon Earth. At that time, this place will become part of the Kingdom of the True God. Yan Huang, Lucifer, are you willing to follow your faith and become a member of the Kingdom of the True God?"

"I'm willing, but..." Yan Huang still felt resentful; he still had things to finish.

"I know what you're worried about. As long as you agree to my next request, I guarantee that Gongsun Du will stand on your side again. I will also have him bring Su Mingyue to your side, and my people will help you take control of the Starry Sky Crown. When that happens, if Lin Zhen dares to come, he will definitely not return alive."

All of Yan Huang's concerns were dispelled, and he was overjoyed. "Yan Huang is willing to serve Lord Shu Mingxuan."

"Then open the door. My men are already outside."

Yan Huang immediately got up and opened the door to the secret room, but was startled.

The person standing outside was over two meters tall; it was none other than Kholov, whom he had fought once in the Ancient God City.

"Hahaha! Yan Huang, I am also a servant of Lord Shu Mingxuan. Now let's get to know each other again!"
