In the dark night, a shaking roar could be heard from Ryudo Temple and even the entire Yuanzang Mountain.

The earth rumbled up, and the hard soil and rocks broke through the bricks, rising from the ground like bamboo shoots after rain.

On the ground, everyone looked at the rising ground beneath their feet in shock, and some supported each other or grabbed things around them to stabilize themselves.

Not long after, the shaking and uplift of the earth finally ended. The Buddhist holy land with green mountains and clear waters was now completely unrecognizable.

In the very center of Ryudo Temple, which is also the core of the land veins in Fuyuki City, there rises an extremely thick stone column. On the circular platform at the top is engraved a magic circle of astonishingly huge scale.

Surrounding the giant stone pillars is a circular venue similar to an ancient arena.

Surrounding it were circular auditoriums stacked in a staircase shape, with dozens of people standing scattered on them. They were the unconscious monks in Ryudo Temple, as well as Tong Shen, Toosaka Rin, Emiya Shirou and others.

Only by looking out along the highest guardrail of the auditorium can you see the houses and Buddha statues that have been squeezed to the point of being tilted.

Tong Shen and others looked at the scene in front of them with shock, and couldn't help but tremble in their hearts at Lin Zhongtian's methods.

"A method of this level is no longer magic..."

Toosaka Rin muttered to herself in fear, then suddenly turned her head and looked at Lin Zhongtian behind her, and said with trembling lips: "You... who are you?"

Lin Zhongtian smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is... that thing."

As he spoke, Lin Zhongtian turned his gaze towards the stone pillar rising in the center of the circular arena.

Everyone followed his gaze and looked.

From the perspective of the highest level of the audience seats, the huge magic circle engraved on the stone pillar is in full view. The magic power contained in it makes people like Toosaka Rin and Hong A feel extremely shocked.

"What's this?"

Emiya Shirou couldn't help but ask.

Toosaka Rin suppressed her fear and said in a deep voice: "It's the Greater Holy Grail!"

"What?!" Emiya Shirou looked at the magic circle in astonishment, "Is this the Holy Grail?"

"It's buried under the ground of Ryudo Temple?"

Hearing Shirou Emiya's astonished words, Lin Zhongtian chuckled, then slightly raised his right hand, spread out his five fingers, and grabbed forward.

In an instant, silver light burst out, and three figures fell out from the silver light.

One of them was wearing silver armor and had blonde hair. It was Saber who had fought Berserker before.

The other two, one tall and one short, standing side by side, were Berserker and his Master Illya.

After appearing, the three of them were all shocked.

Illya quickly came to her senses and looked at Lin Zhongtiandao angrily.

"Pedophile, pervert, let me go!"

As Illya finished speaking, the two-meter-five-tall Berserker let out a wild roar, his muscles bulged, and the blood vessels under his skin glowed bright red, as if he was trying to break free from some invisible restraints.

But unfortunately, under the ubiquitous spatial constraints, no matter how powerful Berserker is, he cannot break free from Lin Zhongtian's hands.

Lin Zhongtian's mouth twitched slightly. He glanced at Illya, who was imprisoned in the same place with a face full of shame and anger, and said unhappily: "Stop it. It's the space that restrains you, not me. I can't wear this hat..."

Compared to Berserker and Illya, Saber seemed much calmer.

After trying twice, she decisively gave up struggling and looked at Lin Zhongtian calmly.

"Who are you?"

"I'm just an ordinary passerby who was disturbed by you..."

Lin Zhongtian smiled, and then continued to look at the stone pillar, saying: "Let's not talk about this for now, let's continue to talk about the Holy Grail. Aren't you very curious about why it exists here?"

"No, it's just that Emiya-san is curious!"

Toosaka Rin said in a deep voice: "The advent of the Holy Grail requires the magic power accumulated in the underground spiritual veins of Fuyuki City. Ryudo Temple, or Enzo Mountain, as the key core node of the underground veins, it is not difficult to understand that there is a magic circle to summon the Holy Grail."

"Why do you want to reveal it now?"

"The Holy Grail War, a ritual to summon the Holy Grail, has undergone hundreds of years of repair before it has finally become complete. You interfered with the ritual without authorization. Aren't you afraid of unpredictable consequences?"

Hearing what Toosaka Rin said, Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but laugh.

"Girl, from what you said, it seems that you think the Holy Grail will only descend after the war is decided?"

"..." Toosaka Rin was slightly startled and frowned, "Yeah, is there any problem?"

Not only him, but everyone except Tong Shen, Lu Bu and Hong A also looked at Lin Zhongtian in confusion.

Facing everyone's puzzled gazes, Lin Zhongtian smiled and shook his head: "This is a big problem!"

"It's a lie that the Holy Grail needs to be summoned as a ritual of the Holy Grail War. In a sense, the Holy Grail doesn't need to be summoned at all, because it has already arrived before the war began!"

“…How is this possible?!”

Everyone, including Toosaka Rin, looked horrified.

Even the usually calm Saber was filled with disbelief, and couldn't help asking, "If the Holy Grail has already descended, then why is it necessary to hold this ceremony called the Holy Grail War? Isn't this unnecessary?"

Hearing Lin Zhongtian's conversation with everyone, Tong Shen gradually came back to his senses.

He couldn't help but glance at Lu Bu beside him and found that although he seemed to be looking at Lin Zhongtian seriously, his eyes were actually a little careless. He didn't seem to care about what Lin Zhongtian said and was just pretending to be shocked.

Recalling R-sister Medusa, the scene where he summoned Lu Bu, and the unique silver command seal on the back of his hand, Tong Shen's eyes gradually became strange...

At this moment, Lin Zhongtian chuckled again and said, "Although summoning the Holy Grail is just a lie, the ritual is not superfluous. Its purpose is not the Holy Grail itself, but the contents within it."

"…Contents?"

Toosaka Rin, Saber and the others looked at each other.

Lin Zhongtian said calmly: "Although the magicians have made the Holy Grail, they have not prepared the contents inside. Therefore, if you want to truly unleash the power of the Holy Grail, you must first summon the contents inside."

"Summon... the contents?"

Toosaka Rin and Emiya Shirou looked at Lin Yi in shock.

Suddenly, the former seemed to have thought of something, and his blue pupils suddenly shrank.

"You mean, the goal of the Holy Grail War is actually the Heroic Spirits?!"

"That's right."

Lin Zhongtian snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "The magic power of the highest purity used to fill the Holy Grail is what the guardians on the Seat of Heroes on the side of the world desire the most, those so-called strongest souls!"

"As long as the souls of six heroes are used as a filler, the power of the Holy Grail may truly become a universal wish-granting machine..."

Toosaka Rin took a few steps back and murmured in disbelief: "How could this happen..."

Lin Zhongtian did not care about the reactions of Toosaka Rin and others. Instead, he took a step forward. His figure disappeared in the flashing silver light and appeared on the huge magic circle as if he had teleported.

The next second, Lin Zhongtian's loud and powerful voice spread throughout the arena.

"Now, two souls have been filled in the Holy Grail. Four more souls are needed as sacrifices before it can truly appear in the world."

"So, fight on, heroes from the other side of the world!"

"I will be the referee and watch you from here..."

Lin Zhongtian's figure was suspended high above the stone pillar, his dark eyes glowing silver as he looked down at the people below.

Tong Shen raised his head and stared in a daze at the god-like figure.

Behind him, Lu Bu looked at the great being whom even Deng Yougang had to call "Boss" with fiery eyes and reverence.

"As expected of the boss, he is so willful!"

Deng Yougang complained inside Lu Bu's spirit body.

Lu Bu retorted: "No, I think this is more in line with the status of this great man!"

Deng Yougang rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "It's up to you. Anyway, it's you who has to be shown off, not me."

Lu Bu said proudly: "I will win in front of Him!"

Deng Yougang said speechlessly: "You are quite proud..."

At this moment, the figure hanging high in the sky suddenly stretched out his right hand again.

In an instant, brilliant silver light burst out again, and three figures emerged from the audience seats opposite Toosaka Rin and others.

Just like Saber and the other two who appeared just now, these three also had expressions of astonishment on their faces when they first appeared.

Toosaka Rin looked at the familiar figure in the middle of the three people and couldn't help but blurt out: "Kirei?"

Toosaka Rin stared in astonishment at Kotomine Kirei who appeared in the silver light, and her eyes passed over him and looked at the two people beside him.

The man on the left has bright blonde hair, and is wearing a white shirt and a black sportswear jacket. He has his hands in his pockets, a stern expression, and a pair of scarlet eyes on his handsome face like a god.

The man on the right was their old friend, the blue-armored spearman holding a scarlet spear.

Although she couldn't figure out the identity of the blond man on the left, the moment she saw the blue-armored spearman, Toosaka Rin understood Kotomine Kirei's identity.

"You are Lancer's Master?!"

“…”

Hearing Toosaka Rin's words filled with shock and anger, Kotomine Kirei did not answer. Instead, he frowned and looked up at Lin Zhongtian in the sky.

After a moment's thought, he lifted his sleeves, revealing his large arm engraved with Command Seals, and spoke slowly.

"In the name of the Master, Lancer, return to the church!"

As he finished speaking, the Command Seal on Kotomine Kirei's arm lit up red.

The blue-armored spearman standing behind him frowned slightly, his body engulfed by a huge red magic power.

The next second, the magic power dissipated, but the figure of the blue-armored spearman was still standing there.

“…Even the Command Seals can’t take effect?”

Kotomine Kirei lowered his arms in disappointment, looked at Lin Zhongtian in the sky and muttered to himself: "That is force majeure."

“Force majeure?” The blond man standing next to him frowned, staring at Lin Zhongtian, and muttered, “This time, I’m afraid I will rarely agree with your judgment. This guy in the sky is definitely not a human. In my eyes, he is a god… No, he is greater than a god. He is simply the world itself!”
