Chapter 286: 286: Holy Son of Gods Clan

There were quite a few people here who recognized Lin Zhen since he had become somewhat of a celebrity, especially after news of him defeating Li Yao in the Ancient God City spread. They regarded Lin Zhen with a hint of respect

now.

It wasn’t respect for his character, or for winning glory for Hua Xia, but respect for his strength.

For martial artists, especially higher-ranked ones, strength is of the utmost importance.

After Lin Zhen demonstrated strength capable of defeating a Star Realm Warrior, even War Gods didn’t dare to treat him with the same level of regard as before.

“Hey! Lin, take a look at this beast skin armor from Brasilia. It’s made from the skin of a forest serpent, infused with frost elements, can withstand temperatures up to 1000C. With your strength, you will definitely go to the second layer, right? This soft armor suits you well. It costs 60 billion for others, but you can have it for 55 billion.”

Lin Zhen glanced at the Brazilian man: “But I just heard you shouting a price of

50 billion. Why did it go up when it came to me?”

The Brazilian man didn’t expect Lin Zhen’s ears to be so sharp, and was momentarily embarrassed, but he still chuckled, “Lin, you’re rich. You can spend 600 billion to build the walls for your country, so you don’t mind 3 or 5 billion, right?”

“No! I do mind, and I hate it when people treat me as a money dispenser.”

Lin Zhen passed by this stall, and immediately a vendor at the next one called him over.

“Lin, check out this good item from the African Union. This ice crystal obtained from the Antarctic can resist heat waves for an hour when worn. It’s perfect for you to wear to the Extreme Point on the second layer. Only one billion each.”

Lin Zhen looked down at the ice crystal. The so-called ice crystal was extracted from a frozen iceberg, the core of the cold, having an extremely low temperature. The one in front of him was indeed cold, but there were clearly traces of manual carving. It should be an ordinary ice sculpture infused with cold air, making it a fake product.

Lin Zhen curled his lips, “Is this really an ice crystal?”

“Absolutely, no mistakes at all. I went through great effort to bring it back from the Antarctic.” The black man spoke earnestly, recommending it to Lin Zhen. “Alright, I’ll set it on fire later. If it doesn’t melt in the flames within an hour,

I’ll buy it.”

The black man hesitated, “Well… I might have to leave soon and can’t wait that long. If you’re really interested, you can take it for half a billion.” “I’ll consider it for a million, otherwise no deal.’

Lin Zhen put down the ice crystal and continued walking forward.

Although he was wealthy, he wouldn’t spend recklessly. With his eye for quality, he could naturally tell what was a good item, what was fake, what was worth the price, and what was overpriced.

He arrived at a stall displaying a complete set of armor consisting of seven pieces.

Helmet, armor, leg guards, arm guards, tassets, shield, and longsword – the design seemed to resemble holy artifacts!

However, upon closer inspection, Lin Zhen found that the so-called holy artifacts were fake, merely lower-grade star artifacts altered slightly. The stall even displayed a sign, “Follow the trend, high-quality imitation Holy Light seven-piece set, complete set price 70 billion!”

“Hehe, directly advertising it, that’s quite interesting.”

Just as Lin Zhen was about to leave with a smile, the stall owner suddenly stopped him.

“Idol!”

Lin Zhen paused and looked up, only to see that the chubby figure squatting behind the stall was Zhang Yue!

“Zhang Yue! What are you doing here?”

Ever since they had parted ways at the Star Fruit Tree, Lin Zhen had not seen him again, as if the boy had evaporated from the world.

Zhang Yue was incredibly excited to see Lin Zhen, immediately pulling him to the back of the stall, hanging up a “temporarily closed” sign, and telling Lin Zhen, “Idol! I knew you’d come, I saw your video of defeating Li Yao, and I was sure you’d come out from inside, but I didn’t expect to meet you! Haha! You’re amazing! ”

Lin Zhen hadn’t seen Zhang Yue in a while, so he sat down to chat with him.

“Where have you been after we parted ways at the Star Fruit Tree? Why haven’t

I heard any news about you?”

“Ah, don’t mention it. After we parted, I found a place with no people to practice, but later, I was chased by a senior and had no other choice but to leave the Star Fruit Tree. I became a deserter from the God Generals Training Camp.” Zhang Yue sighed.

“But later, I knew about all the things you did, idol. You’re truly amazing, defeating the Little Overlord and getting the Su Saintess. Every single thing you did was earth-shattering, and I am so impressed by you.”

Lin Zhen looked at Zhang Yue’s realm. The boy was only a first-level War God, and his Dantian Qi had not compressed at all. Compared to his current self, they were worlds apart.

Lin Zhen’s cultivation speed was too fast, and many of his previous acquaintances were gradually falling behind and living in different worlds now.

Zhang Yue began to tell his story. He wandered around the Wilderness Area after leaving the Star Fruit Tree. He didn’t spend much time as a First-level War God, saying that he preferred trading and reselling items that he had made quite a bit of money over the years.

At first, Zhang Yue felt proud talking about his earnings, but when he thought about Lin Zhen’s 300 billion donation and the subsequent 6 trillion for the construction of the city wall, his pride vanished. His money meant nothing in Lin Zhen’s eyes.

However, Zhang Yue had a good ability to self-adjust and said: “I won’t compare myself to my idol, there are too few people in the world who can compare with you. Comparing with you would be seeking abuse, and I’m not that desperate.”

Lin Zhen laughed, appreciating Zhang Yue’s optimistic attitude. Although not a genius, people like him often lived longer lives.

Looking at the armor on Zhang Yue’s stall, Lin Zhen said, “You dare to sell this armor set for 70 billion when Lower Grade Star Artifacts aren’t worth much now. I think adding them all up is not even worth 20 billion. Can you sell that?”

“Hehe, idol, it’s true that you’re a genius, but when it comes to trading, you may not necessarily be better than me, Zhang Yue. Maybe you’re too busy with cultivation every day and don’t know as much about the market as I do. Do you know how popular this kind of armor is now?”

“Popular? It’s just a Lower Grade Star Artifact; what’s so popular about it?”

Lin Zhen looked at the armor curiously, seeing the radiant light flowing on it. It looked dazzling and seemed to have some light-element energy inside, but it didn’t seem to provide any substantial power to the armor.

“Hehe, idol, look carefully. This is modeled after the Holy Son’s Holy Light

Armor.”

“Holy Son? Holy Light Armor? What’s that about?” Lin Zhen was taken aback.

“Wow! Idol, you’re really OUT. You don’t even know about the hottest Holy Son right now.”

Zhang Yue took out his phone while saying, “You’re really a cultivation madman. The news of the Holy Son appeared almost a week ago and has swept across the globe. Now everyone in the world is talking about it. Honestly, if there’s anyone in the world who can compare with you, idol, I think this Holy Son is definitely one of them.”

Zhang Yue found a web page with an accompanying photo and handed it to Lin Zhen.

“Here, take a look. This super-handsome guy is the Holy Son, the highest leader of the Star Sky Divine Teaching at the Constantinople church in the

European Union, the God Generals Training Camp, and the Great Divine Sect. He’s a Meteor Stage expert and a mixed-blood of East and West. His name in the European Union is Lucifer, and his name in Hua Xia is Yan Huang.”

Lin Zhen took the phone and saw a handsome mixed-blood man, very good-looking. The man was a mix of Eastern and Western heritage, appeared to be no older than thirty, had an incredibly beautiful and cold face, soft golden hair, and a pair of deep black eyes, somewhat like the marble statues in the Divine Sect.

Zhang Yue swiped to another photo for Lin Zhen: “And this, this is a picture of him wearing the Holy Light Suit, which is actually a real set of Holy artifacts and the inheritance of the Star Sky Divine Teaching. Only those who wear this suit can be recognized as the Holy Son. I heard that there have only been three Holy Sons since the establishment of the Divine Sect, including him.”

In the photo, Yan Huang wore the Holy artifacts, surrounded by a flowing light, looking down at the world like a god.

There was even a photo of him single-handedly killing SS-level Mutated Beasts while wearing this armor.

Lin Zhen also possessed radiant power, and through the light on this man’s body, he could see that he had definitely resonated with the light quantum and cultivated his radiant power to an extreme level!

Lin Zhen closed his eyes briefly and recalled some memories.

The Holy Sons of the Star Sky Divine Teaching have a lineage. Unlike the multitude of Saintesses found in various countries, there is only one Holy Son, and they have always come from the origin of the Divine Sect in the European Union.

The Basilica of Divine Might in the Base City of Constantinople, European

Union, is the birthplace of the Star Sky Divine Teaching. Not long after God Transformation Day, the Star Sky Divine Teaching was born, and the first pope was not called the Great Divine Sect, but the Holy Son, who was said to be an extraordinary person who could communicate with the true God.

The first Holy Son was named Kailun, and he was the founder of the Star Sky Divine Teaching. At that time, the Star Sky Divine Teaching was centered around the European Union, but as time went on, Kailun no longer served as the Holy Son and the Great Divine Sect leader, and the power was handed over to the next leader.

The most important requirement for the inheritance of the Holy Son was to obtain the recognition of the Holy Light Suit left behind by Kailun.

The Holy Light Suit was a set of Holy artifacts, including armor, skirt armor, helmet, leg guards, arm guards, a long sword, and a shield – seven pieces in total.

Kailun left this suit in the Basilica of Divine Might in Constantinople when he stepped down, waiting for the next Holy Son to inherit it.

However, the next leader did not inherit the Holy Son lineage and was simply called the Great Divine Sect leader, losing the status of the Holy Son. As the Divine Sect teachings became splintered, the Star Sky Divine Teaching fragmented as well.

Over the next few hundred years, another Holy Son named Baggio appeared, bringing a moment of glory to the European Union’s Star Sky Divine Teaching, but after Baggio, there were no more successors.

To become a Holy Son, one must inherit the Holy Light Suit and have at least the power of the Star Realm. The person must possess strong talent and excel in appearance, wisdom, methods, and so on.

According to Lin Zhen’s memories from his previous life, the European Union had indeed produced a third Holy Son a few years before the second disaster arrived. He was an outstanding man, and he was a mixed-blood of East and West.

This event was once very lively, with the whole world celebrating the appearance of the Holy Son like a holiday. Almost half of the world’s population, both martial artists and ordinary people, followed the Divine Sect teachings, and they all took to the streets to cheer and celebrate.

However, that was a Star Realm Expert, and the distance between him and Lin

Zhen in his previous life was too great. Lin Zhen wasn’t a follower of the Divine Sect and didn’t pay much attention to this matter. After the catastrophe, countries were busy resisting the invasion of extraterrestrial civilizations, so they didn’t pay much attention to foreign affairs. Lin Zhen didn’t hear any news about the Holy Son’s death, nor did he know where he went, so his impression of the Holy Son was somewhat vague.

Just as Lin Zhen was about to ask more questions, a black ghost with the Star Sky Divine Teaching symbol flew across the sky.

“It’s Yan Huang’s aircraft! The Holy Son, Yan Huang-Lucifer, is here.”

Someone said, and then everyone looked up at the sky..
