Chapter 307: Shocking Changes

The mission of hunting down Lin Zhen was not so easy to accomplish. After the five hunting teams of the Holy See entered the City of Ancient Gods, except for one team responsible for intercepting at the entrance, the other four teams entered the second floor.

Each team has two Star Realm warriors, one of which is a Star List master. With such a lineup, there will be no problem in killing Lin Zhen.

Two teams went to the Antarctic region, and two teams went to the Arctic region. When they entered, the four teams claimed that they would capture Lin Zhen within half a month.

But after a whole month, they still didn't find any trace of Lin Zhen.

It was obvious that Lin Zhen had a special way of avoiding. After much searching, the Holy See finally discovered that Lin Zhen had once received a compass among the prizes in the God of War Arena.

The compass can reflect a person's star power and Dantian Qi strength. Anyone who approaches will be displayed on the compass according to their strength level.

After learning the news, the Vatican responded immediately and spent a huge amount of money to purchase five compasses, which were sent to the five teams of hunters.

With this thing, it won't take long for those chasing teams to search the entire second level of the Ancient God City. I believe Lin Zhen is doomed.

******** The discussion about whether Lin Zhen is good or bad has never stopped in the world, even in Ice City.

The base of the Divine Religion's believers is too large, and there are still tens of millions of them in Ice City. These believers have basically been to the Sophia Church. Now the Great God of the Sophia Church, Allen, is personally leading a team to the City of Ancient Gods to hunt down Lin Zhen, which has caused a lot of controversy in Ice City.

Many non-theistic believers support Lin Zhen, but this support is not on a large scale.

After all, these people are not an organization, unlike the Cult of God, which is a collective with organization and discipline. So although Bingcheng has the most people supporting Lin Zhen, they cannot gain much advantage in public opinion.

When the Divine Cult first chased Lin Zhen into the City of Ancient Gods, many Divine Cult believers were still clamoring online that Lin Zhen would not be able to hold on for more than a few days and would be caught and executed by the Divine Cult. Many people even arranged a variety of torture methods for Lin Zhen.

There are countless posts like this, and the arrogance of the cult is very arrogant.

Coupled with the Vatican's constant propaganda, countless charges were laid against Lin Zhen, and world public opinion gradually turned to the Vatican's side.

However, in the past month, the Church of God's pursuit of Lin Zhen has made no progress, which has given many people who support Lin Zhen hope and they have criticized the Vatican online.

It's okay if there is no progress for one or two days, or even ten or eight days, but if there is no progress for a month, questioning voices will arise within the Vatican.

Although many people dare not criticize Pope Yan Huang, it is still okay to criticize those good-for-nothing pursuit teams.

But who sent those pursuit teams? Of course, they were all sent by Yan Huang. This is actually a disguised criticism of Yan Huang.

Coupled with the criticism from those who did not believe in the religion, Yan Huang gradually became overwhelmed.

His teacher Larix also didn't know the reason, and there was no news of him after he left the Vatican. According to the report of the team guarding the entrance, Larix didn't even enter the City of Ancient Gods.

Although he firmly believed that Larix would not betray him, Yan Huang still felt uneasy.

It was not until a month later that a believer from the Vatican came to report a piece of news to Yan Huang.

"Your Majesty, the target person has been locked, and we can act at any time."

"Okay, let's get started now. Now that Lin Zhen is missing, we need to do something to put some pressure on him. If we can lure Lin Zhen out early, it will be very beneficial to our cult. Otherwise, the current situation is a bit passive for us."

"Yes, Your Majesty, we will start immediately."

Within a few days after ******** , the Vatican finally did something that shocked the world's public opinion again.

First, led by three golden-robed elders of the Holy See, three hundred Holy See personnel raided a building in Ice City.

This building belongs to the Ice City Marriott Group, but Li Wanfeng and Zhao Siqing from the Marriott Group usually do not come here. This building is the private property of Li Wanfeng's father Li Yao.

After a fierce battle, the people from the Holy See finally succeeded in killing Li Yao, the only star-level master of the Marriott Group, at the cost of losing seven quasi-star-level masters.

After killing Li Yao, they found two people in the building.

Lin Zhen's father Lin Liye and mother Li Qin, both level seven warriors, were taken back to Constantinople by the Vatican.

Because the incident happened suddenly, by the time the news was exposed, Lin Liye and his wife were already in Constantinople.

After Lin Zhen's parents were captured, the news was immediately announced to the whole world. Yan Huang even instructed to deliberately let the news spread to the City of Ancient Gods. He believed that as long as Lin Zhen heard about this, he would not be able to resist and fall into the trap.

This incident caused an uproar at one point, and many warriors stood up to criticize the Vatican's actions. They believed that the fights between warriors would not harm their families, and the Vatican's actions undoubtedly violated this rule.

If someone did this, he would definitely not have a good ending, but the Holy See is different.

The Holy See not only has powerful military forces, but also has nearly half of the world's believers. No matter what kind of criticism it makes, it will not have any effect and will only trigger a large-scale war of words around the world.

The situation here was not much different. People who supported Lin Zhen and the believers were engaged in an endless war of words, which even led to several fights. Some people even lost their lives because of this.

The day after Lin Zhen’s parents were arrested, several explosive news emerged.

The first was that Yan Huang announced that there could only be one Saint in the Divine Religion. He announced that the Saints of seven countries, namely the United States, the European Union, the African Union, Tsarist Russia, India and Brazil, would be abolished, and only one Saint would be retained, that is, Su Mingyue.

This action is undoubtedly an announcement that Su Mingyue will be made queen.

However, almost at the same time when Yan Huang announced the order, the Holy Maiden Su Mingyue of the Divine Sect announced her withdrawal from the Holy See and would no longer serve as a Holy Maiden, thus severing all ties with the Holy See.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

And An Ning, the eldest daughter of the An family, also solemnly announced that all believers of the God Cult would be cleared out of the An Group. The first criterion for An's hiring was that the person could not be a believer of the Starry Sky God Cult.

These three pieces of news appeared almost at the same time, and immediately made the world boil again.

As the world's largest conglomerate, An Group has almost one in fifty people working for it. This proportion is quite high, and one can imagine how huge the turmoil it will cause will be.

The announcement by Su Mingyue, the Holy Maiden of the Divine Religion, was a hard slap in the face to Yan Huang, who was going to marry her.

Before the order appointing Su Mingyue as the only saint of the Divine Religion was finished, news came that Su Mingyue had withdrawn from the Divine Religion.

Su Mingyue's admirers are spread all over the world, and even account for one-tenth of the Shen Cult. So when Su Mingyue announced her withdrawal from the Shen Cult, countless Shen Cult believers around the world cried.

Many people took to the streets hoping that Su Mingyue would stay, but Su Mingyue had made up her mind and vowed never to stay in the cult.

She said: "Brothers and sisters of the Divine Church, please forgive Mingyue's willfulness. In fact, three years ago, I began to doubt the existence of the Starry Sky God. When I was in danger and nearly died, my prayers had no effect. No one could know my despair at that time. My pursuit and faith were so vulnerable in the face of cruel reality."

"I met Lin Zhen at that time, and he saved me. He is a man with a strong personality. He said that he never believed in the True God of the Starry Sky, and that the True God would not save anyone."

"I have doubted it, but I am familiar with the history of the Divine Religion. Apart from all the unusual things that happened on the Day of the Divine Transformation, the True God of the Starry Sky was nothing more than our imagination from the beginning to the end."

"But I haven't quit the Divine Religion. After all, many of our doctrines are good. But until now, the Holy See has appeared. The Pope has disappointed me very much. He declared Lin Zhen a heretic. Everyone knows about this. I have never participated in their battle. Although I really want to help my beloved, I am still a member of the Divine Religion after all."

"Until what happened yesterday, he actually sent people to arrest Lin Zhen's parents. This is undoubtedly unacceptable. How can such a person walk the earth on behalf of the gods and rule over half of the world's population?"

"If he is really the Son of God, the spokesperson of God, then you don't have to believe in such a religion. Mingyue is no longer a member of the religion from now on. I choose to be with my beloved forever."

Su Mingyue and An Ning's decision triggered a large-scale trend of withdrawing from the religion around the world.

Many people wanted to work for An’s company, so they had to quit the cult. Many people liked Su Mingyue and also quit the cult.

Just when things were getting to a stalemate, something big happened in Ice City.

The king of mutant beasts that roamed the Xing'an Mountains, a huge Siberian tiger called Wanren Di, broke through the limitations of land creatures and reached SS level! After Wanren Di was promoted, he led countless quasi-SS-level and S-level advanced mutant beasts in the surrounding area, as well as a total of billions of low-level mutant beasts, and launched an attack on Ice City!
