_1 Chapter 923: Chapter 926: Leaving the Pass!
_1 At the shattered Wind God Star, countless powers had already gathered.
The Endless Species numbered around ten thousand, while the Ground Clan had seven to eight thousand.
The two factions clearly stood on their respective sides, ignoring the other party’s presence.
With less than a month left for the eye of the storm, the conflicts between the two sides had basically ceased.
Everyone hoped to gain something from the storm eye and it would be a pity to fall here at the last moment.
…
They all hoped for a peaceful departure.
However, many from the Ground Clan watched from afar, either because they could not bring themselves to kill Lin Zhen, who came from their own clan, or because they recognized that they would not be able to get involved in the attack against Lin Zhen.
Dealing with Lin Zhen would not be easy, and there was no way he could escape under these circumstances, but those who stand to gain at the end will definitely be the top powers.
This time, there were too many top powers.
There were nearly a hundred King-sealing Powerhouses, plus four in the Hall of Fame.
From the Endless Species were Su Lante and Blood Shadow, while the Ground Clan had Xiao Cangsheng and Bai Yunyan.
Bai Yunyan and Su Lante were ranked within the top fifty, while Xiao Cangsheng and Blood Shadow were ranked towards the end of the Hall of Fame, but their powers were not to be underestimated.
With these few alongside the King-sealing Powerhouses, the others had virtually no chance of gaining something significant.
However, they all had to come here, as per the instructions from their leaders.
*********
Su Lante watched Bai Yunyan from afar with a smirk.
“Bai Yunyan, do you also intend to partake in the action?
Isn’t Lin Zhen the star of hope for your Ground Clan?
Do you also intend to turn against him?”
Bai Yunyan waved his hand: “Of course, I’m not here to turn against Lin Zhen, but to protect him.”
“Your words might fool a three-year-old child.
Protect?
How much protection fee do you plan to collect from him then?”
“That’s none of your business.
At any rate, I’m not going to let you have your way easily.”
“If you have the ability, then just try.”
While the two were arguing, a tremor occurred in the Wind God Star.
“Pay attention, Lin Zhen is coming out!”
Everyone stopped arguing and focused on the sky above the Wind God Star.
**********
Above the eye of the storm on an asteroid, Jinling watched as the Liuli Ship was exchanged, feeling a little relieved.
No one knew about Lin Zhen’s training within the God Realm, but in Jinling’s view, Lin Zhen could not possibly beat the people present.
So once he found out that many people had come to the storm eye, Jinling immediately put the Liuli Ship up for exchange.
A price of two hundred thousand Divine Stones was something that a regular Martial Artist couldn’t afford.
Only Lin Zhen, who possessed two divine stones, could exchange for it and once it was exchanged, it meant that Lin Zhen was about to come out.
Jinling turned the Liuli Ship into a prize, hoping Lin Zhen could use it to escape.
The warship, which can withstand attacks from a Middle-Level God and stay undamaged, was not something these people at the storm eye can shake.
This was the method Jinling thought of to help Lin Zhen escape.
Moses knew about this situation, but he couldn’t stop it.
Seeing that the Liuli Ship was exchanged by Lin Zhen, Moses sighed inwardly.
There’s no hope, with the Liuli Ship, Lin Zhen could go anywhere he wants and nobody here could stop him.
*********
Within the God Realm, Lin Zhen looked at the situation in the Dimensional Universe.
He didn’t expect so many people to have gathered on the Wind God Star, including some Hall of Fame experts.
Lin Zhen could roughly guess why the Liuli Ship appeared, but he didn’t want to do it that way.
If he fled on the Liuli Ship today, the news in the Dimensional Universe would be about Lin Zhen’s hasty escape, becoming a laughingstock for a period of time, which would not create the sensation he wants.
What Lin Zhen needs now is fame and points.
The more famous, the better.
Lin Zhen had already coming to terms with it.
“Chris, how many points do I need to advance to a Seven Stars warrior now?”
“Master, you need ten million points to become a six-star warrior and a hundred million to become a Seven Stars warrior.
You currently have ten million and one hundred and forty thousand points.
You are about ninety million points short from becoming a Seven Stars warrior.”
“Ninety million…what do I need to do to reach that?”
“Master, there are over ten thousand Endless Species Martial Artists out there now, most of whom are at the Divine Stone Stage.
A portion is at the God Realm Stage, and a smaller portion is demi-gods.
A God Realm warrior is a thousand points, a Divine Stone warrior is ten thousand points and a demigod is a hundred thousand.
I did a rough estimate and their total points exceed two hundred million.
If you can kill half of them, you can directly upgrade to Seven Stars.”
“Kill half of them!” Lin Zhen was taken aback.
“Yes, master, I can guarantee one hundred percent that as long as you reach the required points, you can become a king immediately!”
Unexpectedly, Lin Zhen shook his head slightly: “No!
I have had the power to be a king for quite a while now.
What I need now is to enter the Hall of Fame.
Being briefly famous is only temporary, but a Hall of Fame expert is seen by the entire Endless Battlefield, that is true fame.”
Saying so, Lin Zhen pointed at Blood Shadow on the screen: “If I kill this person, can I advance to the Hall of Fame?”
“Master, you’ve fallen into a misconception.
While killing a Hall of Fame master does indeed prove that you possess the strength required for the Hall of Fame, you belong to the Ground Clan.
If you enter, you can only enter their Hall of Fame.
There needs to be a vacancy.
No matter how many of the endless species’ Hall of Fames you slaughter, it’d be fruitless without a vacancy.
The Hall of Fame only has a hundred slots.”
Lin Zhen took a deep breath: “I Understand.
If I’m lucky today, I might even have a chance to advance to the Hall of Fame.”
Saying this, Lin Zhen organized his belongings.
All the Divine Stones had been put away, and the exchanged rewards were also stored properly.
The soft divine weapon wrapped around his waist became a belt, while the Treasure-seeking Vine was wrapped around his wrist like a string.
After breathing deeply once more, he was at his very best.
With Star Power as high as 3.5 billion, this was the strongest moment of Lin Zhen’s life.
“Come on, since all of you want to snatch Lin Zhen’s possessions, let’s see if you can withstand my attacks!”
“Today, I’m going to unleash a massacre!”
“Go!”
With a thought from Lin Zhen, he leaped onto a thundercloud.
The crackling current swirled around, causing dust to stir within the Wind God Star.
He didn’t tear through space.
Instead, the thundercloud broke through the interior of the planet, soaring straight into the sky!
********
Outside the Wind God Star, Wen Tao set up his filming equipment from afar.
Forty-nine years have passed and Wen Tao’s equipment has been upgraded.
The company has provided him with a flying craft.
There weren’t many crafts in the Original World, most people used mounts.
But those who had a craft, certainly possessed something extra.
The Dimensional Universe Company, as a leading corporation, obviously has unparalleled financial strength.
Recognizing the news value of The Eye of the Storm, the company gave Wen Tao this craft in the tenth year.
The craft could reach a speed of 100,000 kilometers per second and could withstand attacks from Lower Gods without being shattered, ensuring the safety of Wen Tao’s news coverage.
But the once most valuable news figure, Lin Zhen, has now disappeared for forty years.
Wen Tao’s news gradually lost its heat, and attention towards The Eye Of The Storm also gradually waned.
The company had issued an order: if, by the time The Eye of the Storm ends, Wen Tao’s news performance doesn’t improve, they will take back the craft.
This was something Wen Tao couldn’t accept.
Whether he could become a top-notch news reporter lay in the balance.
When the Liuli Ship was exchanged, Wen Tao knew that Lin Zhen might appear.
He immediately flew back to the Wind God Star above Wind Thunder Valley.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, Wen Tao is back on the screen.
I’m currently above the Wind God Star in Wind Thunder Valley.
Just a short while ago, the reward item Liuli Ship was exchanged.
Everyone unanimously believes that it was exchanged by Lin Zhen.”
“Through the camera, you can see behind me, countless Martial Artists have gathered here.
Everyone is waiting for Lin Zhen to appear.”
“I’ve interviewed Lin Zhen for a long time.
But for the past forty years, Lin Zhen has refused to receive any information from the Dimensional Universe.
He might be in a state of deep cultivation.
However, I tried to connect with him again, but his intelligent life told me that the master is busy but will appear soon.”
“All these circumstances confirm that Lin Zhen is doing well and is about to leave.”
“Enemies are everywhere now.
Can Lin Zhen overcome this obstacle?
Let’s wait and see.”
The camera advances and moves to the airspace above the Wind God Star.
The shooting angle was adjusted long before.
People were already used to Wen Tao’s filming.
Anyway, Wen Tao wouldn’t interfere with the Martial Artists’ affairs.
They didn’t care if he wanted to film.
For the Endless Species, killing Lin Zhen is a great opportunity to gain fame.
They are glad that someone is willing to help them publicize it.
For the Ground Clan, it wasn’t so convenient, but they couldn’t do anything about Wen Tao.
After getting this turtle-shell-like flying craft, Wen Tao had been filming without fear.
No one could stop him, they could only let him continue.
At this moment, everyone’s attention was focused on Lin Zhen, who was about to appear.
“Did you feel that?
There seems to be some movement underground.”
“Get ready, don’t let others get the first hit, and be careful not to hurt our own people.
The Endless Species will expand the circle, make it bigger!”
The Asura King shouted loudly, “Be alert and spread out.
Don’t cluster together.
This kid may sneak out.
With so many people here, he wouldn’t dare to do anything rash.
Be careful not to let him slip away.”
The others also agreed with the Asura King.
With so many people here, Lin Zhen wasn’t a fool to confront everyone openly.
Just as people were spreading out, the ground beneath the Asura King roared.
