Chapter 769: True Heavenly Eye (Two in One)

At the end of August, Fei Yi, the King of War, came to the headquarters of the Church of Light with the help of quantum migration equipment.

His trip was nominally carried out in compliance with the imperial edict of the Ming King, but in reality he was recommended by Master Wan Yan to serve as the deputy admiral of the Third Fleet of the Church of Light and the commander-in-chief of the Sixth Guardian Corps.

Due to the tense war situation in the Beisheng Diocese, the Church of Light, under the strong support of the Regent Vice-Chapter, the Invincible King, organized a new fleet and the fifth and sixth religious protection legions at the headquarters.

Over the past year, the strength of the Divine Religion's headquarters has skyrocketed due to the implementation of the 'Ming Wang' underground farm strategy. With all 44 'Light-class' farm warships in place, the headquarters' number of religious guards has exceeded 350 million. Among them, 90 have reached the fourth realm or above due to the abundant heaven and earth essence in the headquarters and the convenient conditions for visualizing the 'Ming Wang Sitting on the Lotus'.

What's scary is that these people are also affected by the light of purgatory.

They are devout to the light, and their hearts are extremely firm. Under the continuous illumination of the holy thunder and fire and the magnificent altar, they rarely undergo demonic transformations. However, their bloodlines are stimulated as a result, and the speed and frequency of the awakening of their bloodline power far exceeds that of the surface world.

Just two months ago, the Invincible King of Dharma began to reorganize the fleet and the army of the cult, and built a total of 3 starship fleets and 12 legions, with each legion having about 50 people.

Among them, the fifth and sixth religious protection corps that were to be transferred to reinforce the Beisheng Diocese concentrated some of the most elite soldiers of the headquarters' divine army.

Therefore, many people in the sect, including the Warring Dharma King Fei Yi, speculated that this was a strategy of the Invincible Dharma King to cut off the source of the problem because he did not want to see the power of the headquarters continue to grow and the divine army that protects the Ming King continue to expand.

Once these two legions are transferred to the Beisheng District and join the Invincible King of Magic, their future fate will either be to be consumed or to be eroded and controlled by the Invincible King of Magic and become her wings and minions.

The reason why the Dharma King Zhantian Fei Yi was able to take over the Sixth Guardian Corps and serve as the deputy admiral of the Third Fleet was that he got the bargaining chip in exchange for the support of the lay Buddhist Wanyan for the Dharma King Wudi's plan to reorganize the Guardian Corps and mobilize the military strength of the headquarters.

When Fei Yi walked out of the quantum migration device and out of the South Heaven Gate, he was stunned for a moment.

He was just like all the other members of the Church of Light who had returned to the main temple after a year or even two years, and he was stunned on the spot.

Whether it was the dense flow of people here, the warm holy light covering the entire underground space, or the vast farm with rows of fields in the distance, Fei Yi was shocked.

"What a bunch of idiots! This really surprises me. I didn't expect that after your Radiant God Cult replaced its 'King of Light', it would actually become so prosperous. Tsk tsk, there are so many priests in this headquarters, maybe six million of them! Your vitality is growing!"

At this moment, an old voice came into Fei Yi's ears like a whisper.

"Five 'Glorious Sub-Altars'! This farm stretches over 2000 miles from north to south and east to west, with at least 1500 million hectares of farmland, and ten levels above and below. It's truly incredible. And look at these crops, isn't that 'Blood of the Sun'? The Earth Federation's most coveted pharmaceuticals and industrial raw materials. Your Ming Wang's management skills are truly remarkable. It's no surprise that your Church of Light's total revenue this year has exceeded million divine gold. Right now, the Great Song Starport's monthly revenue is only million taels of divine gold. Come in, let me see the strength of your main altar again."

His voice then grew hoarse and low, "Find an opportunity and help us locate this underground farm!"

Fei Yi's heart sank, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes: "What do you want to do?"

He had been careless before, and was bewitched by Elder Wanxin's magic during the colonization surgery, leaving a huge hidden danger in his body.

After the death of Elder Wanxin, Dharma King Zhantian thought he could regain his freedom and get rid of control, but he did not expect that the former deputy leader had already betrayed him to outsiders, making him fall into an even more terrifying trap.

"What do we want to do? You should know it very well."

The old voice smiled faintly and whispered, "Don't worry, we won't act right now. We'll wait for a while to clear you of suspicion. That Ming Wang has managed the Divine Cult well, and it's showing signs of revival, so you're still useful."

Fei Yi clenched his hands tightly, and his bones made a crackling sound.

He was angry, helpless and unwilling, but he couldn't resist, and even couldn't expose himself.

At this moment, Fei Yi's heart was almost swallowed by endless regret.

After nearly 200 years of decline, the Church of Light finally welcomed a true "Ming Wang", a Ming Wang who brought light and hope to all believers.

But will he reach the end of his ways again because of his own reasons?

However, just as Fei Yi thought of this, a sharp pain like thousands of ants gnawing at his heart began to spread throughout his body.

He heard the old voice again: "Look more natural, the Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy is here."

At this moment, Fei Yi's expression was completely out of control. He was clearly in extreme pain inside, but his face had no expression.

At this time, the Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy had already arrived from the sky and came before Fei Yi.

She looked at the Heaven-Fighting Dharma King Fei Yi with a slightly strange look in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it: "I'm sorry, Brother Fei, I was delayed just now. His Majesty the Ming King ordered me to take you to the Great Ming Hall to pay your respects!"

The divine envoy of Tianxiang made a leading gesture, indicating Fei Yi to follow.

"It's actually a little late for you, fellow believer. The Demon Suppressing Divine Envoy returned to the main altar five days ago to conduct final training before the troops are dispatched. He asked you to see the King Ming and then go see him as soon as possible."

Fei Yi nodded and followed the Tianxiang Divine Envoy with a calm expression.

Just as they were approaching the main altar, Fei Yi heard the old man exclaim again: "This hymn of your cult is quite interesting—"

Fei Yi had heard the chanting coming from all around him a long time ago, but he was preoccupied and didn't pay much attention to it.

Only after hearing the old man's reminder did I suddenly realize the abnormality of this hymn.

"The holy thunder shakes the nine heavens, the blazing fire of catastrophe cleanses the world. Pity the people of this world, who are filled with worries and sufferings. All things return to unity and light, and all things in life illuminate the universe. The King of Light comes to the world to break the darkness, and all things are renewed and the world is wide—"

The low chanting is as heavy as the mountains, as if the earth is echoing; the high chanting is like the light pouring down from the sky, stretching out like the stars, echoing and resonating with the power of light here, interweaving into a sea of ​​light, cleansing all the filth in the world.

What surprised Fei Yi was that the hymn had changed again, explicitly mentioning that the Ming Wang was the bright ruler who was in charge of "all things returning to one, and all things being born from one".

"All things return to unity and become light, which, after giving birth to all things, illuminates the universe. This is truly fascinating." The old man sneered, "If you give your Ming Wang enough time, he might be able to truly break free from his fate and replace the Great Sun Heavenly Venerable as the true master of light."

Fei Yi frowned, not quite understanding what the old man said.

At this moment, the old man's attention was drawn to the warships hovering in front of him. He actually forced Fei Yi's gaze to shift over there: "Tianxiang Divine Envoy, are those the ships of the so-called Third Star Fleet? Were they also purchased from East Asia?"

There are a total of 520 civilian-grade warships of the Demon Federation, including 45 of the so-called "cruisers" of the Demon Star Navy, which is half of the reorganized fleet of the Demon Star Navy, but there are no battleships among them.

The Heavenly Fragrance Envoy followed his gaze and smiled slightly. "These were all purchased from the East Asian Republic by His Majesty the Ming King with a loan. However, they are not equipped with quantum transfer systems, only warp navigation devices, so they can't be called starships. However, they are fully equipped with weapons."

Since they are not equipped with a quantum migration system and are a scaled-down version sold to Tianjixing for foreign trade, the requirements have been lowered in many aspects. Therefore, the cost of these warships is much cheaper, only about one-eighth of the price of a normal starship, and the construction speed is also much faster.

These ships were the conditions that the "Ming Wang" had used to appease the Invincible Dharma King and make him agree to build the Glorious Altar and safeguard the farm plan.

The Invincible King reorganized all of her 400-plus starships, as well as those that could be converted into starships, into the First and Second Starship Fleets.

His Majesty the Ming King also promised the Invincible Dharma King that he could purchase a brand new fleet for the Invincible Dharma King, provided that the installation of the quantum migration equipment was delayed for one year.

Ming Wang also ordered 15 civilian battleships that were not equipped with quantum migration systems. However, the battleships had a longer construction period and would be delivered much later.

Fei Yi took a deep look at these warships and understood why the old man was surprised.

This is due to the 'concept macro force field' being deployed on the 500 warships.

——This is the latest technology of the Earth Federation!

Fei Yi then discovered that not only those new warships, but even the 44 "Light-class" farm warships were engraved with runes similar to those of those warships.

The Church of Light had previously captured a Sky Demon warship equipped with a 'Concept Macro Force Field', so Fei Yi recognized it.

These farm warships are much larger and taller than those warships. Their hull height is almost equal to that of a ten-story farm.

Therefore, only a part of each floor can be seen. From a distance, the hulls of the "Light-class" farm battleships are like rune boulders stretching across the underground farm in all directions.

"Interesting, really interesting!"

The old voice tutted in admiration, "Your Ming Wang has far-reaching plans and is truly terrifying. He also has a very close relationship with East Asia, to the point where East Asia is willing to sell even this kind of top-secret weapon. Fei Yi, just imagine the terrifying scene of over eight million priests working together to condense a conceptual macro-force field. If we delay any further, he will truly become the master of the situation."

Fei Yi could imagine the scene the old man described.

These are eight million priests who cultivate the power of light! This is a condition that even the Earth Federation cannot meet!

Their conceptual macro force field might be able to condense quasi-abyssal-level 'holy thunder' and 'calamity fire', while also boosting the power of holy thunder and calamity fire to the extreme.

Fei Yi's mood was even worse. The current 'Ming Wang' had a talent that was no less than that of the seventh generation leader, but it was very likely that he would die young because of him.

He continued to move forward under the old man's guidance, and soon arrived in front of the Daming Hall.

Here you can see the magnificent altar behind the Daming Hall.

Fei Yi stopped and observed intently, focusing particularly on the vibrant holy fire at the center of the altar. The silvery flame was blazing and pure, as if condensing all the light and hope in the world. From here, he could more clearly hear the religious hymns sung by the believers—a chorus of at least 30 priests.

"Do not do evil and your heart will be at peace. Do good and the light will appear. Purify your mind and return to the right path. The holy light shines forever, transforming all things. All things return to one. The King of Light will guide you to the true mystery."

Their voices, intertwined with the sound of the burning sacred fire, sounded sacred and high-pitched, shocking like thunder and surging like waves.

The sacred fire grew more and more intense amid the waves of sound, and the flames shot up into the sky, as if to tear the sky apart and reach the nine heavens. The air was filled with an almost tangible sacred power, and there was white light in all directions, purifying all filth and guiding all beings to the other side of light.

"Crazy! It's absolutely crazy."

Fei Yi's eyes gleamed with intense fear and disgust. "I see! No wonder all our pawns who previously infiltrated the Divine Religion's headquarters were wiped out. It's a wonder they could maintain their sense of self under such circumstances."

The religious atmosphere here is so crazy that even those who initially held strong hostility towards the Church of Light would find it difficult to maintain their original intentions.

They visualize the 'Vajra King Sitting on the Lotus' every day, and sooner or later they will become fanatical fans of the 'Vajra King'.

Even if someone can break free from the influence of religion, their abnormality will be exposed sooner or later. They have not made any progress in their cultivation in this main temple of light, and the power of light has not increased. Isn't this suspicious?

At the same time, the old man became even more wary of this Ming Wang.

The seventh generation leader of the Church of Light was indeed an unparalleled genius. Before his death, his body was used as a prison, transformed into "Holy Thunder and Fire", locking up all the conceptual power of the Great Sun Lord.

This means that the Great Sun Lord cannot freely choose his resurrection container, and can only be subject to the will of the seven generations of leaders and descend into the container selected by the seven generations of leaders.

However, the person chosen by the seventh generation leader is really powerful!

His talent may be even better than that of the seventh generation, and his skills are also very impressive. He has been the Ming King for only a few years, but he has the ability to change the doctrines of the Church of Light - this is probably something that the seven generations of leaders could not have imagined.

At this moment, Fei Yi suddenly found that his body had regained its freedom. The old man returned control of his body to him and snorted in his mind: "Be careful and pay attention. Don't reveal any flaws, otherwise you know the consequences!"

Fei Yi's face was solemn as he followed the Tianxiang Divine Envoy into the Daming Hall.

He glanced upwards and saw that the Ming Wang was wearing the same 'Hidden Dragon' armor as he had done before, sitting high on the throne.

Fei Yi immediately bowed deeply: "I, the Heaven-Fighting Dharma King Fei Yi, pay my respects to His Majesty the Ming King! May His Majesty be blessed with great health and everlasting happiness!"

Lin Rui, hidden inside the Hidden Dragon armor, looked at Fei Yi below with deep meaning in his eyes: "Master Zhantian, please stand up! Master Fei should know why I summoned you to the main altar, right?"

Fei Yi bowed again: "I understand. This is to take over the command of the Sixth Guardian Corps and serve as the deputy admiral of the Third Fleet, assisting the Demon Suppression Envoy in rescuing the Beisheng Diocese."

Lin Rui nodded slightly: "It's good that you understand. This time, not only did the Great Sheng Kingdom suddenly send the emperor to personally lead the army, but also drew 3 million troops from the Tianyuan to strengthen the offensive. The Great Liao and the Great Wei also had two divine messengers commanding 2 million troops to reinforce. The situation is even more dangerous than before.

You are the deputy commander of the expeditionary force. You must act diligently and assist the Demon Suppressing Divine Envoy. You must not slack off in the slightest. You must quickly train the troops and train the elite so that we can march out as soon as possible. The safety of the Beisheng Diocese depends on you two. I hope you will prioritize the overall situation and not delay military operations. Don't let everyone down—"

At this time in the ninth base city, Lin Rui, who used the method of one-in-two to control both his original body and the alien body at the same time, narrowed his eyes in his office.

He used his spiritual power to call Lin Xi, who was working next door, into his office.

"Help me check the people around Fei Yi, sort out all his relatives, friends and subordinates, and see if there is anything unusual."

"Fei Yi? The Warring Heaven Dharma King of the Church of Light?" Lin Xi looked puzzled. "What happened to him?"

"I saw that he had a projection of an immortal-level spirit hidden within him. Someone must have used a secret mind technique to control his body and soul. He's taken over the place of someone else. He still retains a certain degree of autonomy, but not much."

Lin Rui smiled slightly and pointed to the center of his eyebrows: "It's a pity that this immortal still underestimated my strength and revealed his true identity."

At this moment, the skin between his eyebrows suddenly cracked, revealing a golden vertical eye.

This is the second quasi-X-level colonial suit, 'True Sky Eye', that Lin Rui created for his fundamental martial arts after 'Hunyuan Blood'. It was finally completed a month ago and implanted into his body.

This bloodline ability is very powerful. It not only increases the strength of Lin Rui's fundamental martial concept of "one" by 1.5%, but also pushes Lin Rui's already extremely powerful perception ability to a higher level.

If Lin Rui truly becomes a god in the future, he will be able to see the essence of all things in the universe and observe the true nature of all things and their laws.

Of course, this is just Lin Rui’s good wish, and whether it can be achieved is still another matter.

Lin Xi was even more puzzled after hearing this: "Since it has been possessed by someone, why bother just killing it?"

"This is a Ninth Realm Super Emperor, particularly skilled in combat, with extremely high attainments in martial arts, hence the name Zhan Tian. I've observed his thoughts and believe deeply in the Light, making him worthy of salvation."

Lin Rui glanced at Lin Xi. Does this girl think that there are many talented people like him under her command?

After the transformation, the Dharma King Zhantian will be at the level of a divine envoy, and there are only a few divine envoys under his command.

"What's more, I'm very interested in the immortal hidden within him. This person shouldn't be particularly skilled in mind and illusion techniques. I should be able to lure his true spirit over here."

Lin Xi immediately understood and nodded: "I will find out."

Since this Dharma King Zhantian is very pious and has a certain degree of control over his body, he must be controlled by others in other aspects.

Lin Xi then transferred several documents to Lin Rui's terminal bracelet. "This is the intelligence I've gathered from various sources over the past two days. You can see that I estimate they'll attack my mother within this month, no more than 40 days."

The two gods of Central Plains are still very dedicated in their work and have been helping them to delay the issue until now.

Lin Rui looked through the information passed on by Lin Xi, but he was not interested and didn't care much.

Just because this information was of little value, Lin Rui expected that once he accomplished his next task, the other party would definitely not be able to hold back and would definitely launch an attack in the shortest possible time.

At this moment, Wang Yinyue pushed the door open and walked in: "Boss Lin, are you looking for me?"

When Lin Rui called Lin Xi over just now, he did send a message to call Wang Yinyue to come to the chairman's office.

Lin Rui narrowed his eyes and said, "I have something I want to ask you in person. How are the preparations for the sixth Jingyi Altar going?"

Wang Yinyue's expression immediately became serious. "It has been refined and the last part has been installed. It can be put into use. I will arrange for someone to send it to the twelfth base city later."

With Lin Rui's continuous financial investment, the 12th diocese of the Church of Light has about 180 million believers, but it has never been equipped with a "Jingyi Altar".

"What about those armed merchant ships? How many have been converted?"

"The 537th ship has been modified and equipped with a conceptual macro force field. However, its hull strength does not meet the standards, its carrying capacity is insufficient, and its combat duration is far lower than that of military and civilian warships."

The vast majority of these 537 armed merchant ships are owned by the Forest Group or leased on a long-term basis, and some are from the Sky Fox Group.

As for the six battleships, two high-speed battleships, and more than 200 civilian and retired warships of various types under the Forest Group, they are themselves equipped with concept macro force fields.

Wang Yinyue raised her eyebrows, a strange look in her eyes: "God, are you about to start? Isn't it a little early?"

——That will be the moment when the six "Jingyi Altars" are connected to the artificial skylight at the same time.

Lin Rui nodded, turned his office chair and looked outside: "It can't be delayed any longer, and there is no need to delay it any longer. Let's do it now."

The corners of his lips curled up slightly. "That Changsheng Guild President has been waiting for a long time and is getting impatient. Given the situation, I can only do as he wishes."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xi fell silent, with worry in his eyes.

Just two and a half months after Lin Rui withdrew from Tianyuan, the war between Forest Group and Changsheng Society broke out in full swing.

The Changsheng Society's offensive was very resolute and extremely intense. They continued to resurrect dead Ninth Realm masters, and then launched desperate attacks again and again, causing heavy casualties to the Forest Group.

Just a month ago, Wang Tianwu almost died in battle.

Lin Xi knew that the purpose of the president of the Changsheng Association was to put pressure on Lin Rui. Only when Lin Rui connected his own artificial skylight base to the skylight and officially gained authority in the skylight could he restrain the Changsheng Association to a certain extent.

But this is very dangerous. Lin Xi not only knows the moment when Lin Rui connected to the sky curtain, which was the time when Lin Rui stepped into the eighth realm, but also knows that the president of the Changsheng Association has been coveting Lin Rui and wants to usurp his divine power.

At the same time, Lin Rui's advancement to the Eighth Realm of Tongtian will also be an opportunity for the Great Sun Heavenly Venerable to further influence him.

Lin Xi couldn't help but worry. In such a dangerous battle, could his brother hold on?
