However, things were not as simple as Yan Huang thought. After dinner, the leader of the ascetic monks spoke with him.

This tall monk was the leader of the bunch, and the more Yan Huang looked at him, the more familiar he seemed.

“We know you, Yan Huang. Lucifer, why are you here?”

Hearing this, Yan Huang hurriedly asked, “May I ask how to address you, senior?”

The tall monk smiled and said, “Your suit of holy light, I wore it four hundred years ago.”

“What!”

Yan Huang, who carried himself with some dignity, was stunned.

The Holy Light Suit was not something just anyone could wear. To don it, one must master the Light Quantum.

The fact that the old man claimed to have worn it four hundred years ago could mean only one thing: this elder was the previous Holy Son, Baggio!

“Are… are you Senior Baggio?”

The elderly man nodded subtly, adjusted his white hair a bit, revealing a somewhat recognizable face.

Yan Huang quickly rose from his seat to bow to Baggio, and the other monks didn’t show much reaction.

Folding his pope’s dignity, Yan Huang explained the situation to them in detail, exaggerating some points, and finally showing everyone the video footage brought by Shu Mingxuan.

The strategy was indeed effective. Baggio and two ascetics at his side, who had reached the comet stage and looked impossibly old, with more than twenty patches on their clothes, and all other monks, showed profound excitement.

“So there actually is a real god!”

“Oh my God! After practicing for three hundred years, I finally saw a real god.”

Many monks were so excited they couldn’t control themselves, but Baggio, although also excited, didn’t say much. Not until the crowd calmed down did Baggio ask Yan Huang, “Mr. Yan Huang, why did you show us this? Could it be that a real god is about to descend on Earth?”

Yan Huang quickly shook his hands, “No, that’s not the case. It’s not that a real god is about to arrive, but the troops of the real god are about to reach Earth.”

“Oh! What’s going on?”

“Distinguished predecessors, the situation is extremely critical now. Our church is facing an unprecedented existential threat. We are being challenged by the Eastern forces. Shu Mingxuan, the messenger of the real God, has explicitly told us that if we want to secure a place in the kingdom of the real god, we must cooperate with the operation of God’s army and, before their arrival, conquer this world – or at the very least, conquer Hua Xia.”

Yan Huang also brought a lot of data; the number of people who followed the Gods Clan has plummeted, with the current number just a fifth of what it was at its peak.

All the ascetic monks, who have been living all over the world for hundreds of years as part of the Great Divine Sect, no longer conceive the idea of countries, but the concept of religion is still deeply embedded in their hearts.

Seeing the current state of the church, these people also felt pained, but none of them volunteered to help Yan Huang in this Eastern conquest; all eyes were on Baggio.

As the former Holy Son, Baggio was the leader of these monks, and everyone was waiting for his decision.

After a moment of silence, Baggio finally opened his eyes.

“We ascetic monks have been living in Iceland for a long time and have never fought with others. I don’t like waging wars on people. Yan Huang, you should go back.”

Yan Huang knew this wouldn’t be easy, so he hurriedly said to Baggio, “Mr. Baggio, don’t be quick to refuse. I need you to meet someone.”

Yan Huang immediately contacted Shu Mingxuan via his mobile phone.

Soon enough, a puncture appeared in the space before them, slowly revealing a curtain of bright light, much like a water mirror space.

Shu Mingxuan, dressed in a captain’s uniform, appeared before everyone.

Being well over a thousand years old, Shu Mingxuan was familiar with the backgrounds of most of these ascetic monks. To facilitate this conquest plan, Shu Mingxuan revisited earlier data and could even call out each monk’s name and their life history.

More importantly, Shu Mingxuan emphasized the significance of this Eastern conquest, hoping the monks could consider the overall situation and help the church go to battle.

Baggio still remained silent, until finally, Shu Mingxuan connected to a video.

That was the recording of the Tianhe Empire’s army mobilizing.

In the footage, giant starship battleships cruised through the galaxy, one after another passing through wormholes. Large battleships appeared as if bee hives, with smaller surrounding battleships and aircraft blanketing the sky like locusts – a display of power that Earth’s army certainly could not match.

Shu Mingxuan spoke to Baggio and the other monks: “Everyone, our empire’s grand army has begun mobilizing. By that time, all resistance on Earth will crumble. If the majority of people on Earth turn to the Gods Clan at that time, the fate of Earthlings within the empire will drastically change.”

Yan Huang added, “Yes, although the eastern expedition may seem to trail some losses with it, we aren’t just doing this for our personal interests. This is a price we must pay on our journey towards civilization. Only in the future, when people awaken, will they realize how well-intentioned we are.”

These ascetic monks weren’t fond of fame or gain, but when a righteous cause like this was thrown at them, they found it difficult to resist.

The expression on Baggio’s face finally softened, “So there really is an extraterrestrial civilization…the true army of God.”

“Indeed, if we don’t seize the moment, and let the Gods Clan unify Earth, by the time the true army of God arrives, whatever we want to do will be too late.”

“Alright! Let’s go!” Baggio finally made up his mind.

Once the decision was made, Baggio didn’t hesitate. He turned to Yan Huang and said, “I’ve seen your battle video, and though your power is impressive, you haven’t been able to gain an advantage over Lin Zhen. Let’s train you here for a week so your strength can improve.”

Hearing this, Yan Huang quickly agreed with a nod.

With the assistance from these ascetic monks, Yan Huang was confident in unifying the world in the future. Besides, who wouldn’t enjoy a boost in their power?

After leaving outside Constantinople, Lin Zhen felt that he was seriously injured.

Apart from the visible external injuries, Lin Zhen’s Dantian energy was sealed.

After swallowing a healing pill and bandaging his wounds, Lin Zhen rested on the sofa of his spaceship, closing his eyes.

The sealing of the Dantian energy was like the end of the world for ordinary martial artists, but not for Lin Zhen.

Not to mention that his Dark Star Power was not sealed, he still had the combat power of Star Realm.

However, compared to his peak state, the fighting power was a third weaker. After all, the sealing of the Dantian was a significant inconvenience.

Unless Lin Zhen revealed his Dark Star Power, he seemed nothing more than a normal person without Dantian energy.

“Besides healing, I now also need to find a way to recover my Dantian energy.”

Lin Zhen was thinking and reminiscing in his mind.

The sealing of the Dantian energy was not unheard of. After the invasion of the extraterrestrial civilization, new weapons appeared one after another. Breaking Boundary Nails were not rare, there were even other things that could seal Dantian energy.

Undoing the locked Dantian energy was not especially hard. To Lin Zhen’s knowledge, a few ordinary medicines plus a large amount of dissolved Dark Energy Stone, subjected to high-temperature flames, could create the Dark Fire potion, capable of burning and dissolving the foreign objects in the Dantian.

“Even if I recover my Dantian energy, in a short time, the church will likely launch an attack on Hua Xia. With my current strength, although I could join the battle, my impact probably wouldn’t be very significant.”

Lin Zhen knew about the existence of those ascetic monks. When Yan Huang mentioned the eastern expedition to Hua Xia, he immediately thought of those monks.

These monks were quite powerful. After the arrival of an extraterrestrial civilization, they had a battle with the invaders, even destroying an entire medium-sized fleet. However, they eventually fell into an ambush and were annihilated.

If the ascetic monks led an expedition against Hua Xia, it would undoubtedly be a tough battle.

Moreover, Lin Zhen felt that the church’s eastern expedition wasn’t far away, possibly even imminent. He had to not only regain his Dantian energy but also improve his strength.

“Currently, the Dark Star has just formed, and it’s impossible to make another breakthrough in a short time. Even if I wanted to advance to the Star Realm by improving my Dantian energy, I couldn’t do it in a short time.”

“The only option is to learn a new spear technique.”

“My spear technique, immovable like a mountain, is considered a defensive martial art, but the real skill of the spear lies in the attack. Even though I’ve learned Overturning River, during the fights with powerful opponents, I rarely managed to overpower them. This means I lack understanding of the offensive wisdom of the spear techniques.”

“However, there are very few people in the world who have comprehended the offensive wisdom of the spear techniques. As far as I know, there was only one person who did this in the previous life in Hua Xia, who was weaker than Zhang Guanyue who taught me ‘immovable like a mountain’.”

“This person happened to be discovered by chance in the future. He was only a mid-level warrior. He hadn’t gone through any school training and didn’t have a master, but he was incredibly fascinated by spear techniques. His name is Zhang Ye, a retired military man from Langfang City, a satellite city of the Capital Base City. Now, he is a fitness instructor.”

“The people he taught were even ordinary people, aiming for physical fitness. If I were to go this way, I’d likely cause some trouble. If I want to learn his spear technique peacefully, I might have to change my appearance and live in the world of ordinary people.”

Lin Zhen set the spaceship to auto-pilot, heading towards the direction of Capital Base City, and then took out his mobile phone, ordering a specialized mask from the technology department’s website.

This was a high-tech item designed to imitate the skin. Once worn, it would completely alter your appearance. Still, it was incredibly expensive, costing tens of millions for a single piece.

Of course, tens of millions meant nothing to Lin Zhen. He chose a face that was slightly above average, and around his age, ordered a piece and had it delivered outside Langfang City.

After placing the order, Lin Zhen closed his eyes to rest, unnoticed on the inconspicuous white spaceship.
