Chapter 279 The Second Change of the Omniscient Crystal
As Wu Chang got on the boat, the storm dissipated soon, the dark clouds overhead disappeared, and the setting sun was revealed.

The orange-red afterglow sprinkled on the Wallow entering the port, as if it had plated the hull with a layer of gold, adding a touch of sacredness out of thin air.

From the time the crew sent the recorded video to dik dok to the time the Wallow entered the port, it took less than an hour and successfully attracted the attention of the national media.

When the ship docked, the dock was already surrounded by various media, with cameras flashing non-stop, and they wished they could stick the camera directly into Wu Chang's mouth.

Right now in Takagi Country, there is no news more explosive than the resurrection of the great Takagi hero.

Wu Chang did not accept interviews at the port. He refused to answer any questions, saying that he was physically and mentally exhausted and needed to rest. He then moved directly into a hotel suite around the port.

However, before entering the hotel, he relaxed and said that he would be interviewed by everyone in the hotel lobby at six o'clock tomorrow morning.

He had plenty of time. Given the size of Takagi Country, even if it was the farthest point in Takagi Country, he would still have time to catch a car.

The next morning, when Wu Chang arrived at the hotel lobby, almost everyone who should and shouldn't have come was there.

Those who were supposed to come were naturally the Xingtian Group, members of the Xingcai Gang and various media. His secretary, Qinglong and others had already arrived and were consciously maintaining law and order at the scene.

Those who shouldn't have come were naturally the military representatives, political representatives and Midi representatives from Takagi Country.

Of course, there are some that should have come but didn’t.

In order to create a sense of news imagery, the media invited many survivors of the Star Leap, and many survivors heard that Lee Jae-se had survived and rushed to the scene spontaneously.

But Wu Chang did not see Li Yubin, a reporter, and Cui Chengze, a survivor, among these people.

Tsk, you said you missed me a lot, but you only moved your mouth but not your body.

During the interview, the content that the media were most concerned about was undoubtedly how Wu Chang survived alone on the sea for more than 20 days after falling into the water, and finally returned to Takagi Province by riding the waves as shown in the video.

Wu Chang had already prepared an explanation for this issue.

According to his description, he unfortunately fell into the sea while trying to save someone. After falling into the sea, he found a life jacket thrown by someone unknown and floated along the waves to an unnamed island.

Relying on the resources on the island and the garbage that floated to the island, he built a simple shelter and tried to make a raft to return to Takagi Country.

Unfortunately, on the third day after he arrived on the island, he encountered a huge storm.

He was on the other side of the uninhabited island at the time and escaped the disaster by hiding in a cave in time, but the storm blew away his stored fresh water, the shelter he built, and the only knife and lighter he had placed in the shelter.

Just when he was completely desperate, he saw a god.

The god called herself the Eternal Light. When the Star Leap was lost at sea, she appeared and showed the way for everyone.

Guided by the Eternal Light, he found a relic on the island, where he discovered traces of human existence and the tools they left behind.

With these props, he built a shelter again and made a bamboo raft strong enough to drift on the sea.

He followed the will of the Eternal Light and set out at a specific time. Not far from the uninhabited island, the raft encountered a storm. Relying on the protection of the gods, he rode the waves all the way. When the storm dissipated, he found that he had returned to the coast of Gaomu Kingdom and met the Varo and his crew.

Wu Chang's self-described experience was very bizarre, but with the video of him riding the waves on a raft as evidence, no one could refute it.

Takagi Kunito is nicknamed the Cult Museum because everyone in the country believes in religion. As a great hero Takagi, it sounds reasonable that he would be protected by the goddess when he encountered a shipwreck.

Although this Eternal Light sounds unfamiliar, it doesn't matter. Familiarity will come after a while. Before the New Universe Sect became a national religion, the gods they believed in also sounded unfamiliar.

The moon in foreign countries can chant scriptures. The stranger the gods are, the faster they appear.

After Wu Chang's interview was released, it was immediately praised by the media as the modern-day Robinson Crusoe. Some even believed that Wu Chang's riding on the waves was Takagi Kuni's version of Moses opening the sea, and that it was mercy from God.

Some media subsequently interviewed other survivors of the Star Leap, many of whom claimed that on the eve of the Star Leap's rescue, they had vaguely seen a platinum-colored light, like a god.

The Star Leap returned because the survivors discovered that the ship was being dragged by an unknown force. When they came to their senses, they had already left the shipwreck zone and returned to the waters near Takagi Province.

The Great Takagi hero Lee Jae-se returned to Takagi Province, but his ship was also driven by an unknown force, and when he came to his senses he had been rescued.

Both incidents were related to the Star Leap, and both involved the god Eternal Light.

The two responded to each other and people solved the case in an instant.

It turns out that the Star Leap was saved not only because of the Sea God, but also because of the Eternal Light.

On the second day after the interview, the name of Yongjiezhiguang spread throughout the streets and alleys of Gaomu Kingdom. Men, women, young and old, all knew that there was such a new god protecting Gaomu Kingdom.

The Gaomu people are very contradictory in their beliefs. They have a flexible bottom line in their beliefs, but they are also very devout in their beliefs.

Upon learning of the efficacy of the Eternal Light, people were ready to convert to another faith. But when they were ready to go and sorted out the locations for the statues of the gods in their homes, they were surprised to find that this new god did not have his own church.

What to do?
The believers were anxious, and Wu Chang was even more anxious.

Like Irene, he had used the "Research Report on Miracles and Willpower" and gained the talent of "Miracle Guide" from it.

With this talent, combined with his powerful inspiration, he could feel that Gaomu Country had a lot more power of devout faith.

These forces of faith floated in the sky above Gaomu Country, pointing directly at Irene, the embodiment of the light of eternal purity, but there was a lack of the church as a middle link to gather the faith and transmit it accurately, so Irene could only watch and was unable to absorb it.

Wu Chang drummed his fingers on the desk and muttered quietly, "We must find a way to set up a church."

But before that, he had other things to do.

With the help of Li Zaishe's identity, he made big news as soon as he appeared, attracting a lot of faith, and naturally he had to bear the trouble brought by Li Zaishe's identity.

For example, this time when he comes back to life, many affairs of Xingtian Group and Xingcai Gang will be transferred to him.

At the same time, as a member of the chaebol, he also has to deal with representatives from the political circles, the military and the Midi country.

After expressing admiration and condolences for his experience, these people all told him a message.

During the time he was missing, the world had changed. They had already cut ties with the New Universe Sect. They were completely unaware of what the New Universe Sect had done, so they didn't want to be blamed.

In particular, the military representatives of Midi implicitly used the news to show off Midi's style of doing things. On the eve of Wu Chang's return to Gaomu, four air crashes occurred in Midi within four days, and five planes crashed.

What is the sky overlord? This is the sky overlord!

You have to think carefully about what year this is.

Mr. Li Zaishe from Gaomu Province, you don't want the plane you are on to be involved in this year's air crash, right?

Although Wu Chang was not afraid of such low-level threats, his purpose in this trip was to gain faith, and he was too lazy to create unnecessary trouble, so he pretended to believe what his side said and blamed everything that happened on the Star Leap on the dead Zheng Ruiyuan and the committed suicide Zheng Chengxun.

After making sure that Wu Chang would not cause trouble, the three parties left with satisfaction.

At this moment, his real self was still on the way back to Wanghai City and did not follow him into the copy. Without his clone, he had to do everything by himself.

Only after dealing with these troublesome guys could Wu Chang free up his hands to handle real business.

This time, when he and Irene returned to the Silent Route copy, he had two things to do.

The first is to establish a church belonging to Irene, gain the faith of the Silent Route plane, and prepare for the requirements put forward by the Omniscient Crystal.

In addition to establishing a church, it would be even better if we could take over the business of the original New Universe Church.

Second, he wanted to meet with Choi Sung-taek. To be more precise, he wanted to meet with the Sea God with the help of Choi Sung-taek.

Considering that they are all friends and have worked together to deal with the remains of the evil god, he wants to eat meat, prepare to give the Sea God some soup, and give the Sea God a title like guardian god to share some of the faith with him.

In return, Poseidon will only need to keep an eye on the church for him when he leaves the Silent Route plane, and perform miracles from time to time to attract new believers.

After talking to Poseidon about joining the company, he also wanted to ask Poseidon if he knew anything about the All-Knowing Crystal. After all, Poseidon was a local god who had lived for thousands of years. Although he was not very powerful, he was knowledgeable and might know something.

In order to accomplish these two tasks, Wu Chang had to find the church leader who was currently running the New Universe Church and Choi Sung-taek. He gave the task of finding people to his secretary.

After he dealt with the last of the Midi military, his secretary brought him the intelligence he needed.

Looking at the contents of the intelligence, Wu Chang couldn't help but frown.

In the column for the current leader of the New Universe Church, the name written was Choi Sung-taek.

Attached to the text material is a screenshot of the new teaching director taking office, and it can be seen that it is Choi Sung-taek himself, not the person with the same name.

What is this guy doing?
Could it be that the Sea God had the same idea as him and also wanted to directly take over a large number of faiths by occupying the new universe sect?

He looked carefully at the screenshot of the director's post and could see that the Star Sky Group's logo was printed on the background wall and celebratory ribbons hanging from the ceiling of the venue, saying that the Star Sky Group was also the largest sponsor of the New Universe Sect.

He looked at his secretary and said, "Help me arrange a meeting with the new leader. How long will it take?"

The secretary said, "Master Cui once left a message saying that if you come back, he will show up at any time if you want to see him."

Wu Chang raised his eyebrows. It was interesting that he didn't avoid him and was even looking forward to his appearance.

"Then tonight."

After the secretary left, Wu Chang returned to the lounge, entered the other world, and came to Irene who was watching a TV series.

"Miss Irene, don't look at it yet. Stay with me tonight and go meet our old acquaintance."

Irene wiped away her tears with a tissue, looked up at Wu Chang, and after observing for a moment, asked, "Is the person you are going to meet in danger?"

Wu Chang looked at Irene in surprise. All the movies and TV series he had watched during this period were not in vain. With just one glance, Irene could tell from his emotions that he was afraid of the person he was going to meet in the evening.

Could it be that she really practiced it?
He shrugged and said, "It's not necessarily dangerous to meet Choi Sung-taek, but his behavior is unusual. I'm worried that he has been influenced by Lehmann."

Irene nodded and said, "Here is my kingdom of God on earth. If He is really here, He will definitely not be able to escape."

Wu Chang exclaimed: "You are worthy of being my eternal light, you are reliable."

Irene's face flushed slightly and she turned her gaze back to the screen, but her eyes were somewhat absent-minded.

"Just call me when the time comes."

Cui Chengze came in a hurry. Wu Chang originally thought that he would arrive at dinner time, but less than two hours after he expressed his intention to meet, Cui Chengze hurried into Xingtian Group.

Seeing that the other party was so anxious, Wu Chang's suspicion was reduced and he chose his office as the meeting place.

As soon as Cui Chengze entered the room, he first arranged the occult rituals to prevent detection, and then he had time to greet Wu Chang.

"President Li, long time no see."

Wu Chang, who was sitting behind the desk, spread his hands and said, "Should I call you Chairman Cui or Master Cui now?"

Cui Chengze glanced at Irene who was watching TV series on the sofa and said, "President Li is too polite. Just call me Xiao Cui."

"This must be the legendary Light of Eternal Purity."

Previously, when Cui Chengze was conquering the Silent Route dungeon and entered the end sea area, his body was taken over by the Sea God. He only had a vague impression of that memory.

The image of Irene in his memory was not clear, but he remembered very clearly the fear of Poseidon towards Irene's power.

He knew that this was a real god, more powerful than Poseidon.

Wu Chang didn't notice anything unusual from Cui Chengze, so he stopped frowning and said calmly, "Tell me, how did you become the leader of the New Universe Sect?"

When mentioning this matter, Cui Chengze also showed helplessness.

"This position of leader was not what I wanted to be at the beginning..."

Following Cui Chengze's words, Wu Chang understood the whole story.

Because of the way Wu Chang and Li Yubin handled the situation, they confirmed in advance that the Star Leap was safe, and with the help of the Sea God, they made the Star Leap return directly to the waters near Takagi Country. This made it impossible for the three forces to silence them, so they had no choice but to save the survivors.

Almost all the passengers on the ship survived, but the passengers here refer to the passengers in Wu Chang's mission judgment.

Although the ordinary passengers did not die, many of the believers of the New Universe Sect and the crew members sent by the military died.

Someone must be held accountable for such a large-scale death toll.

The New Universe Sect, whose plan failed, naturally has to take this responsibility.

Zheng Ruiyuan had died on the ship, and Zheng Chengxun, the actual controller of the sect, was also silenced. The dead will not blame others, and with the tacit understanding of all parties, the case was classified as a terrorist attack with a cult background.

Lee Jae-se successfully resolved the crisis and led the passengers on the boat to successfully kill a group of criminals. Zheng Chengxun, the mastermind behind the scenes, committed suicide out of fear of punishment. The president discovered that he had been deceived for many years. He was heartbroken and regretful. He bowed deeply to the people to apologize.

Fortunately, there were no casualties among ordinary people, and the happy ending prevented Takagi Kunito from delving into the matter further.

As for the Blue Island, where all the crew members died suddenly and the hull was used to create the remains of the evil god, it sank into the sea due to a manufacturing malfunction and improper operation.

With the death of Zheng's father and daughter, the New Universe sect is leaderless, but the sect's followers are spread all over the country, so a new leader must be introduced immediately to stabilize the sect.

Outsiders may not know, but the government and the military know very well that the New Universe sect can truly communicate with gods and possesses supernatural powers.

If they didn't have supernatural powers, why would they choose to cooperate with each other?
The failure of this plan, coupled with the speed-of-light cut between the three parties, has offended the gods behind the New Universe Sect. They cannot continue to allow their believers to be in charge of the sect, otherwise, when they recover and contact the gods again, they will definitely retaliate against all parties.

You can only use your own people to control the sect first, then slowly eliminate the die-hard believers, and finally disband the sect.

It's easy to say, but it's not easy to find someone to control the sect. The candidate must have a feud with the New Universe Sect and will not side with the other side. He must also have supernatural powers and be able to control the situation.

After a round of screening, Choi Sung-taek, the survivor of the Star Leap and the president of the Takagi Folk Mysticism Research Association, became the best candidate.

Choi Sung-taek does not have the family background of Lee Jae-se, so the government and the military treat him rudely and directly send an old general to put pressure on him.

Chengze, when were you born?
Oh, if you hadn't told me, I would have thought you were 46. Hey, a kid like you who was born in 44, you dare to stand up straight in front of a senior who was born in ?
You are a junior of Yanjiang University, and you were born into a famous family. Did you, the Cui family, teach you to say things like "it may not be convenient" or "it can't be done" to your seniors?
Damn it, this is for the prosperity of Takagi Country and for the stability of society. People like you who make money by fortune-telling and divination and enjoy the dividends created by your predecessors, don’t you want to give anything in return?
After a series of smooth little combos, Choi Sung-taek could no longer resist and agreed to become the leader. He also cooperated with several forces to disintegrate the New Universe Sect from within.

Although he understands mysticism and has good combat capabilities, in the Silent Route copy, fighters and firearms are subject to the world's rules. With his ordinary physique, he is unable to compete with the state machine.

Even a mini state machine like Takagi Kuni which is "small and cute".

At first, Cui Chengze was forced to become the leader, but soon after he took office, he found that the remnants of the Zheng family had not given up.

They gathered a group of extreme New Universe sect believers, opened the secret vault of the Zheng family and their daughter, and took away many occult props in an attempt to restore contact with Lehman.

Among them are several occult tools that are important artifacts in the history of Takagi Province, and in mythology they are magical instruments used by gods.

If they succeed, there is a high possibility that Lehmann will be attracted again.

In order to ensure that the world is not spied on by evil gods, Cui Chengze changed from being passive to active, actively looking for the traces of those extreme believers and preparing to destroy their plans.

At the same time, he was worried that the other party would succeed and he would be unable to resist, so he left a message to Xingtian Group, asking for Li Zaishi's help.

At this point, Cui Chengze took out a stack of photos. The items in the photos were all important cultural relics that were privately collected by Zheng's father and daughter based on the recollections of the senior leaders of the New Universe Church.

Wu Chang was flipping through the photos, and when he saw one of them, the Omniscient Crystal suddenly reacted.
