Age of Evolution

Chapter 292: 292: The 5th Layer of Gun River, Overturning River! (3rd update)

Zhang Yue listed a long list of items, such as Dark Energy Stones, Elemental Crystals, and Ancient Secret Books, all of which can be used in place of money to buy equipment here.

Although Lin Zhen’s items are expensive, they are all worth the price, and compared with other Ice and Fire Equipment on the market, their cost-effectiveness is still higher.

Many Martial Artists who are close to Star Realm and Advanced War Gods came over and traded with Lin Zhen and Zhang Yue. This time, without Lin Zhen’s reminder, they all said some good words about Holy Son Sun, showing their absolute support for Lin Zhen.

For those who believe in the Gods Clan, Holy Son Sun might be supreme, but for those who don’t, he is just a powerful Star Realm expert, and he can’t possibly blame everyone for just buying equipment.

During the process, even a Gods Clan member appeared to buy equipment, and after saying a couple of bad words about Holy Son Sun, he became flustered and accidentally dropped his mask, revealing that he was the first War God of the European Union. It turned into a big joke.

By the end of the first day, Lin Zhen had already recovered his costs and even gained a lot of valuable items.

He got more than sixty Dark Energy Stones alone, and together with what he already had, he now had over a hundred Dark Energy Stones.

This is a huge fortune, not to mention many Mutant Beast Crystals and Star Artifacts.

As the day was turning dark and more than half of the goods were sold, a man in a green robe appeared in front of Lin Zhen’s stall just as he and Zhang Yue were preparing to pack up.

Seeing this man, Lin Zhen’s heart clenched because he was a Star Realm

Expert!

It’s not just an ordinary Star Realm expert, but one who has reached the Meteor Stage.

“This is a master from the Star List!” Lin Zhen immediately made a judgment.

The green-robed man showed interest in a top-quality Star Artifact, a pair of boots.

Boots are even more important than armor when walking in the Polar Region, and most of the items here are boots, but top-quality Star Artifact boots are not affordable for ordinary people.

Out of the seven or eight top-quality Star Artifacts, only three were left, and the best among them were these boots infused with a hundred degrees of cold energy.

The green-robed man looked at Lin Zhen: “Lin Zhen.” Lin Zhen didn’t know him, but he knew Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen smiled a little: “Senior, what would you like to buy?”

The green-robed man pointed at the boots and said, “I want these, do I need to say ‘Holy Son Sun is nothing’ first before I can buy them?”

Lin Zhen laughed: “That’s just a joke, too many people have already said it.”

“Alright, I won’t say it then, even though he really isn’t that great. How much are these boots?”

“This top-quality Star Artifact is the best one in the stall, 30 billion.”

The green-robed man frowned slightly, 30 billion was not a small amount, and he didn’t have that much money on hand.

He glanced at Lin Zhen’s exchange list, and suddenly his eyes lit up, “Are you willing to spend 15 billion to buy this ancient secret book?”

Lin Zhen looked at his fingertip and his heart stirred immediately.

Because the green-robed man was pointing at the fifth layer of the Nine Layers Spear River, Overturning River!

Lin Zhen had been longing for this secret book for a long time, but he had never been able to acquire it; he didn’t expect the green-robed man to have it.

Suppressing his excitement, Lin Zhen nodded: “Yes, if senior has this secret book, it can substitute for 15 billion cash in my stall.”

The man nodded, looked for a while, took out a Chip Secret Art and some Dark Energy Stones from his Space Ring, accumulated a total of 20 billion cash, and finally added 10 billion more cash to complete the transaction with Lin Zhen.

“Alright, finally got a good deal. Lin Zhen, let’s get to know each other, my name is Jin Qichao.”

He reached out and shook hands with Lin Zhen, introducing himself.

“So it’s Senior Jin, very nice to meet you.” Lin Zhen smiled and was secretly surprised in his heart, so this man was Jin Qichao.

Jin Qichao was also a famous person in his previous life, the founder of the Northwest Military Arts, and a contemporary of Chen Fenglie. However, he didn’t spend much time in his home country but had been active in the Central Asian region. In the previous life, when the Extraterrestrial Civilization invaded, he led a group of experts from Northwest Military Arts to fight a brilliant sniper battle, annihilating an invader’s unit, which was one of the few victories in Hua Xia’s history of fighting against the Extraterrestrial Civilization.

“Hehe, no need to call me senior repeatedly, I’ve heard Li Changying and Feng Ni mentioned you before, but now you’ve left them far behind, maybe we’ll be peers someday.”

After some small talk with Lin Zhen, Jin Qichao entered the Ancient God City.

Lin Zhen obtained the secret book of the fifth layer, Overturning River, but he didn’t start practicing it immediately. Instead, he packed up all his things and handed them over to Zhang Yue for management. Only then did he return to his tent, take out the Chip Secret Art, connect to the Virtual Helmet, and begin studying it.

At the Capital Base City, Yan Huang and Allen arrived at the God’s Grace

Cathedral.

Gongsun Du, who had received the news earlier, was already waiting at the entrance, and as the Divine Sect’s Saintess, Su Mingyue naturally had to come out to greet them. Dressed in a cleric’s robe, her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and her simple makeup couldn’t hide her stunning beauty, which made Yan Huang freeze for a moment.

The two sides exchanged greetings for a while, then sat down in the room. Yan Huang got straight to the point: “Senior Gongsun, I believe you are already aware of my purpose in coming today.”

Gongsun Du nodded slightly, he was well aware of this.

“The Star Sky Divine Teaching has been divided for hundreds of years and should have been united long ago. Now, besides the United States and Brazil, countries like Sand Russia, European Union, African Union, and India have officially joined the Gods Clan. As for Hua Xia, there is only the God’s Grace Cathedral left. I wonder what Gongsun, the great Divine Sect, thinks about this?”

Gongsun Du had also thought about this a long time ago. The union of the Gods Clan was what he had hoped for. Since the Holy Son appeared, he naturally had no objection.

“Holy Son, Gongsun Du has no objection. The Gods Clan in the world should be united, and this is the best.”

“Haha, that’s good. Since the Great Divine Sect has no objection, then this matter is settled.” Yan Huang smiled slightly, and his gaze swept over Su Mingyue, who was quietly looking at her phone with her head down.

At this time, Allen proposed: “This great event should be celebrated. I wonder if

Gongsun, the great Divine Sect, is prepared?” “The meal has been prepared, just waiting for the Holy Son.”

“Alright, let’s eat.” Yan Huang stood up.

At this moment, Su Mingyue suddenly laughed, and her voice was crisp.

Gongsun Du frowned slightly. Su Mingyue’s manners were usually excellent, and she was also very calm, rarely losing her composure. What had happened today?

“Yue’er, what are you doing?” Gongsun Du asked.

“Ah! Master!” Realizing her mistake, Su Mingyue hurriedly stood up. “I apologize, Master. I just saw a funny piece of news, so I laughed. I’m not feeling well today, so I won’t join you for dinner. I’ll go back to my room now.”

Su Mingyue nodded slightly to everyone as an apology, then turned and left the hall, returning to her room.

Seeing Su Mingyue leave, a trace of regret appeared in Yan Huang’s eyes.

“Holy Son, I apologize for Yue’er’s behavior. She is usually not like this. She is now 20 years old, but sometimes she seems to be maturing in reverse. When I have the chance, I’ll give her a good talking-to.”

“There’s no need, the Saintess is true to her nature. Forcing her to change would only make her less beautiful. She is fine the way she is.” Yan Huang waved his hand and then asked Allen, “What did Saintess laugh at just now?”

Allen wasn’t quite sure either and looked at the several divine officials nearby, “Did any of you see what the Saintess was laughing at?”

One of the divine officials stammered, “It seemed to be a piece of news. I didn’t see it clearly, but it looked like something from the Martial Artist forum, where people were rushing to buy stuff.”

After hearing this, Yan Huang immediately pulled out his phone and started browsing through the forum.

The news was easy to find. Many videos on the War God’s forum were about the Ancient God City.

The headlines were varied.

“Holy Son’s ban becomes a joke, Martial Artists vie to support Lin Zhen.” “God’s Clan believers buy equipment in disguise and curse Holy Son as shit.”

“War God Challenge champion Lin Zhen reaps a huge bounty in Ancient God

City, with Holy Son as stepping stone.”

Yan Huang’s eyebrows twitched slightly, but he said nothing. Instead, he watched the video of the Gods Clan believer purchasing equipment. Although he didn’t say anything, Allen could tell that the Holy Son was very displeased.

It turned out that Su Mingyue was laughing at this. Allen thought it was a bad sign; the Hua Xia Saintess laughing at the Divine Sect’s Holy Son might well enrage Yan Huang.

But Lin Zhen was indeed remarkable. Even under the ban imposed by the Holy Son, he managed to gather a large number of Martial Artists to trade with him, trampling the Holy Son’s dignity underfoot.

Those media reporters had no moral integrity; they would say anything to attract attention. Now that the Holy Son had become a laughingstock, his prestige must have taken a hit.

After a while, Yan Huang closed his phone and stood up, saying to Gongsun Du, “I suddenly remembered that I have already agreed on a meeting time with the great Divine Sect in Los Angeles, so I won’t be staying in Hua Xia.”

Hearing that Yan Huang wouldn’t be staying for dinner, Gongsun Du was taken aback and hurriedly stood up to see him off.

As Yan Huang and Allen boarded the Black Ghost outside the God’s Grace Cathedral, Allen felt the temperature around Yan Huang dropping by several degrees, indicating the Holy Son’s extreme displeasure.

“Holy Son, about this matter…”

“Lin Zhen, I really underestimated him.” Yan Huang closed his eyes slightly.

Allen didn’t know what to say and just sat beside him.

“I heard that Su Mingyue is Lin Zhen’s girlfriend?” Yan Huang asked.

Allen nodded, “It seems so.”

“According to the original doctrine of Gods Clan, there should be only one Holy Son and one Saintess. They should become husband and wife, serving the deity together. However, due to the division of Gods Clan, each country has produced their own Saintess. It’s time to sort things out; there can be only one Saintess.”

Allen understood Yan Huang’s meaning, “So, is Su Saintess still qualified?”

“With her initial feelings of love, she still remains pure. As long as she has no distractions, she will be a qualified Saintess.”

Allen nodded immediately, “I understand. I’ll take care of this matter and ensure that Su Saintess is devoted to serving the True God of the Stars, without any distractions..”
