Age of Evolution

Chapter 206 - 206: 206: Saying Goodbye to Ming Yue

In his previous life, Ice City Base City was considered the third large base city to fall on Earth. The first was the African Union’s Cape Town, and the second was Brazil’s Amazon Base City. Each of them had fallen about half a year apart.

However, Ice City’s situation was different from those two places. The African Union countries had only a few base cities to begin with, and Cape Town was located far south, far away from other countries. The area was also heavily plagued with mutated beasts, and the African Union’s technological power was slightly weaker, so the fall was inevitable.

Brazil’s situation was similar. The number of mutated beasts in Rio was not much less than that in Africa. The Amazon River Basin was full of water monsters, and the construction of the Amazon Base City was a mistake. After half a year, they could no longer resist and ultimately chose to give up.

Ice City Base City’s fall, on the other hand, had something to do with human error. The problems in the city’s construction and the negligence of the administrators led to a disastrous catastrophe.

Of course, even without human error, the scale of the mutated beast attack on Ice City was massive.

At this time, the TV was still broadcasting: “As the African Union is not a member of the World War God Alliance, it did not receive support from the alliance when Cape Town Base City was besieged. Now, the African Union has officially proposed to join the War God Alliance and has received support from countries such as ours, India, and Brazil. The three member countries of the World War God Alliance said they would soon provide a solution…”

Gongsun Du shut off the TV, “The World War God Alliance is still controlled by the United States, the European Union, and Sand Russia. Can joining them give us a say? It’s better to focus on spreading the teachings of our Gods Clan.”

Lin Zhen did not respond to that statement, as it was pointless for him to discuss with Gongsun Du whether the True God of the Stars existed at this time. As for the combined efforts of the World War God Alliance, he knew about them and even held a War God’s Knockout to determine the order of the alliance. Hua Xia performed averagely in the War God’s Knockout in his previous life, ranking fourth, in an awkward position that was neither high nor low.

In the end, Hua Xia had some conflicts with other countries and intended to withdraw from the War God Alliance. However, before there was a result, the second human upheaval came, and the matter was left unresolved.

In his previous life, Lin Zhen did not have the qualifications to participate in the War God’s Knockout, and he did not know whether he would have the opportunity in this life.

Gongsun Du gave Lin Zhen a glance, and Lin Zhen nodded slightly at him: “Senior Gongsun.”

Gongsun Du also nodded and then looked at Su Mingyue: “Yue’er, where is the Star-gazing Mirror?”

“I broke it.” Su Mingyue replied softly.

“Where is it? How did it break?”

Lin Zhen immediately took out the fragments of the Star-gazing Mirror:

“Senior Gongsun, the Star-gazing Mirror is with me. It was broken like this…”

He naturally couldn’t let Su Mingyue explain these things, so he quickly recounted the general course of the Star-gazing Mirror’s damage. Hearing that Su Mingyue had taken the initiative to touch the Star Strike, Gongsun Du’s forehead veins seemed to throb, and he looked at Lin Zhen with an unfriendly gaze.

Su Mingyue hurriedly said to Gongsun Du: “Master, Lin Zhen says he can fix the Star-gazing Mirror.”

Gongsun Du scoffed at this: “Really? You are so talented that you can fix the Star-gazing Mirror just after entering the War God Realm? I, Gongsun Du, have been in the Star Realm for years, and I haven’t heard of anyone who can repair a Star Artifact. May I ask, how should I address you?”

“Senior Gongsun, my name is Lin Zhen.” Lin Zhen raised his head, neither humble nor arrogant. Although Gongsun Du was a man he admired, Lin Zhen would not bow to anyone in this life.

“I watched you fight with Yue Zhenhua just now, and you had the demeanor of a great hero. Now you’re saying you can fix the Star-gazing Mirror. I can’t help but admire you. How about I call you Lin the Great Hero?”

Facing Gongsun Du’s mockery, Lin Zhen smiled: “I dare not call myself a great hero. If I could become the son-in-law of the Gods Clan…”

“Don’t even think about it!”

Gongsun Du glared at Lin Zhen like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: “Lin

Zhen, do you know what the Star-gazing Mirror means to our Gods Clan?”

Without waiting for Lin Zhen to answer, Gongsun Du continued: “It is the sacred object of our Divine Sect, the inheritance of the Saintess. Now, Yue’er has broken the Star-gazing Mirror to save you, which means she can no longer pass on the inheritance. In other words, she has to continue being the

Saintess.”

“Continue to be the Saintess?” Lin Zhen was stunned.

“That’s right, the Saintess of the Gods Clan must remain pure. If Yue’er gets married, she must pass on the inheritance of the Saintess. But now the Star-gazing Mirror, the key to the inheritance, is gone, and the inheritance cannot continue. You dare to brazenly tell me you can fix the Star-gazing Mirror. Fine! I can promise you that if you fix the Star-gazing Mirror and Yue’er agrees, she can marry you. If you can’t, then I’m sorry Lin Zhen, but you won’t even have the qualifications to be Yue’er’s friend!”

Lin Zhen didn’t care about Gongsun Du’s words. First of all, he was confident that he had a chance to fix the Star-gazing Mirror. After reaching the War God Period, he wanted to try his luck in the ancient god ruins. He believed he could find some Star Artifacts and practice with them. Star Shift was not impossible; it just needed some time.

Even if he couldn’t fix it, the Gods Clan was nearing its end. There was less than a year left until Ice City fell, and less than six years until the arrival of the extraterrestrial civilization.

When the extraterrestrial civilization arrived, the Gods Clan would come to an end. However, Lin Zhen didn’t want to drag things on for that long.

Nevertheless, Su Mingyue seemed to have a lot of confidence in Lin Zhen: “Lin Zhen, will you fix it quickly, right?”

Before Lin Zhen could answer, Gongsun Du snorted coldly: “Let’s not mention whether he can fix it or not. I’m afraid after he goes home, he’ll be in big trouble. Having offended Yue Zhenhua, does he still want to stay in Gale? It would be difficult to survive in Ice City, let alone solving his own problems.”

Lin Zhen didn’t actually take this matter to heart. Even if he couldn’t stay in Gale, at this point, Lin Zhen had passed the initial stage of accumulation and had money to advance to the War God realm; he could train and live anywhere.

The speed of the flying disc began to slow down, and Capital Base City appeared in sight.

Nowadays, there are a total of 27 base cities in the seven major countries around the world. Hua Xia’s Capital Base City, the United States’ New York Base City, Sand Russia’s St. Petersburg Base City, the European Union’s Paris Base City, and India’s New Delhi Base City are the largest.

Among them, Hua Xia’s Capital has the largest population of all base cities, with over 100 million people, which is much larger than in the Common Era.

When the flying disc approached, a radar scanned it. The disc stopped moving after discovering it belonged to the Gods Clan. Gongsun Du’s flying disc could enter and exit the Capital without inspection.

The flying disc flew to the top of God’s Grace Cathedral and began to descend slowly.

After stepping out of the flying disc, Gongsun Du said to Lin Zhen, “Mr. Lin, would you like to visit our church?”

Before Lin Zhen could answer, Gongsun Du said immediately, “It seems you’re not interested in my Gods Clan anyway, so let’s skip the visit. I’ve already said all I should say to you. Before you fix the Star-gazing Mirror, you’re not allowed to see Yue’er. As for me, I’ll take Yue’er back now. She still has to fulfill her duty as a Saintess and spread the doctrines of the Gods Clan, so she can’t spend her time messing around with Mr. Lin.”

Su Mingyue glanced at Gongsun Du, then at Lin Zhen, blinked her big eyes a few times, and then her eyes started to redden and her long eyelashes drooped.

“I want to talk to Yue’er alone for a moment.”

“Go talk on the flying disc. I’ll give you five minutes. Yue’er, you must come back after five minutes.” After saying this , Gongsun Du strode into the church.

This was not only his promise to Allen but also his own idea. It wouldn’t be easy to take Su Mingyue away. Gongsun Du would rather have Su Mingyue stay as a Saintess, so she could always be by his side. He would rather break a pair of friends than give Lin Zhen a chance.

However, that was a last resort in the absence of alternatives. He never expected that Lin Zhen, the fool, would dare to boast about fixing the Star-gazing Mirror just to woo a girl, and that Yue’er, the silly girl, would believe him. Well, don’t blame Gongsun Du for being ruthless; if Lin Zhen couldn’t fix the Star-gazing Mirror, he should never think of Yue’er again.

In terms of whether Lin Zhen could actually fix the Star-gazing Mirror, Gongsun Du sneered at it. It was an impossible task; not even Gongsun Du himself could do it, let alone anyone else in history.

Lin Zhen went up to the flying disc with Su Mingyue. As soon as they entered, Su Mingyue’s soft body rushed into Lin Zhen’s arms without a word.

“Yue’er, we’ll see each other again. I promise that day won’t be too far away.”

“Mm!” Su Mingyue nodded, burying her head in Lin Zhen’s chest. Lin Zhen could feel some wetness on his chest.

“My sweet Yue’er, let me see if you’ve cried your face into a flower cat.”

Lin Zhen held Su Mingyue’s pretty face, gently kissing her tempting red lips.

Su Mingyue slightly trembled, holding onto Lin Zhen’s neck, clumsily responding with an incomparably sweet taste.

A minute later, Su Mingyue once again buried her head in Lin Zhen’s chest, and wouldn’t allow Lin Zhen to kiss her again.

Lin Zhen knew that she had a thin face, and if it weren’t for their imminent departure, he wouldn’t have taken advantage so easily. Gently stroking her hair, he sighed a bit, marveling that this peerless enchantress was his girlfriend. This wasn’t something Lin Zhen had planned after his rebirth, but since it had happened, he was determined to protect her.

“Yue’er, you can call me whenever you miss me. The communication between base cities has been restored now, and it’s very convenient to contact each other on the Internet.”

“I will.” Su Mingyue took out her phone, which she and Lin Zhen had just charged on the flying disc. In her phone, she only had two contacts, one was her Master, and the other was Ye Lanshan. Typing Lin Zhen’s name seemed a bit awkward, as she was obviously not familiar with it. “Lin Zhen, let’s take a photo together.”

Lin Zhen nodded, and they leaned in close together.

Both of them took out their phones. In the camera, Lin Zhen smiled with a handsome face.

Su Mingyue had her hair up lightly, holding Lin Zhen’s arm, gently resting her head on Lin Zhen’s shoulder, her face still bearing traces of tears and blushing shyly, looking dreamily beautiful.

“Click! ”

The camera flashed, capturing the moment forever..
