People in America started by developing the Yellow Turban Army.

From Hathaway's and Hanks Gan's perspectives, the whole thing was quite shocking from beginning to end.

Mr. Lin Zhiyong knelt on one knee in a knightly salute, awaiting the priest's coronation.

After the Eastern priest filled in his name and household registration information on the coronation appointment letter, the miracle began!

First, like a grand magic trick, the voice announcing the appointment made it clear to them, even if they couldn't understand it.

After the appointment was read out, the letter of appointment turned into a golden light and entered Mr. Lin Zhiyong's forehead.

This can be loosely explained as magic, or as a visual deception.

After all, it's the 21st century now, and in 2023, anything is possible.

But the agonizing howls that Mr. Lin Zhiyong, who knelt on one knee in a knightly salute, uttered after the ceremony, and the ferocious expression on his face as he endured immense torment, all told the two that this was no simple matter.

To their astonishment, even in such pain, Mr. Lin Zhiyong seemed to be imprisoned in place. Even though he was trembling all over from the pain, his movements did not change in the slightest.

What shocked them even more was that from this moment on, Mr. Lin Zhiyong, who had accepted the divine appointment, finally began to exhibit extraordinary phenomena.

A bluish aura emanated from their bodies; it was the first time the two had ever seen a person's eyes, nose, mouth, and ears emit light.

But it quickly retreated and swiftly retracted into his body.

"what……"

This is the kind of blissful sigh that comes after a lifetime of extreme suffering, followed by a swift and complete relief.

Lin Zhiyong finally felt that the restraints on his body had been lifted. However, he could no longer feel pain or torment. Instead, he felt a surge of power and a body that had been completely renewed from the inside out.

Incidentally, he also learned about the power and authority of his position as a Yellow Turban Warrior.

"Hey!"

Lin Zhiyong, who had already stood up, patted his chest and arms happily, then let out a soft hum, and his body was quickly covered with a layer of blue light.

In the dim light, the blue light quickly transformed into a set of slightly transparent armor, and on his head, there was an illusory topknot, and a yellow transparent scarf was wrapped around his forehead.

A faint, illusory bow appeared in his hand, but it only appeared briefly before disappearing.

Most importantly, when he stood up straight, Hathaway and Hanks Gan no longer saw the skinny man they used to see.

He actually grew a lot taller in such a short period of time, and looks to be at least 1.88 to 1.9 meters tall.

Moreover, his entire body was no longer thin and weak, but had transformed into a tall, muscular man. His strong chest muscles and streamlined arm muscles even possessed a unique aesthetic appeal.

Coupled with his ancient Eastern armor, Hathaway actually thought it was quite fitting to describe him as exceptionally heroic.

The entire change, witnessed by the two of them, took place in the middle of the tavern's main hall in a short period of time.

From this moment on, Hathaway and Hanks Gan's world completely changed. If Hathaway had previously seen Chen Ping'an in Taoist attire, it was because she was begging for her life.

It's a very simple and pure purpose.

Hanks Gan had the same goal; he still harbored the hope of turning his life around, even if he couldn't right now and hadn't escaped his ex-wife's exploitation and demands. He just wanted to survive a few more years under the protection of this mysterious cult.

Without his support for child support and alimony, his ex-wife would definitely have to find a job or remarry.

If he can hold on until then, until his ex-wife remarries, he can leave the church and seek a chance to turn his life around.

That was his original purpose.

At this moment, having witnessed the miracle, the two men's ambitions instantly rose from their previous level, transcending the concepts of a fish turning its life around and merely seeking survival.

Because just 20 minutes ago, Lin Zhiyong was an ordinary person, a mortal, just like them.

Now?

It has become what it is today simply because of a priest's appointment.

Soldiers of the gods!

"How are you feeling?"

Seeing that Lin Zhiyong's situation had finally settled, Chen Ping'an quickly asked.

Lin Zhiyong clenched his fists tightly, feeling the surging power in them, then looked up at Chen Ping'an and smiled: "Very good, and never before has it been this good!"

I feel that even if the great cauldron that Xiang Yu once lifted were placed in front of me, I could lift it!

Chen Ping'an was somewhat envious of Lin Zhiyong's immediate results. Although it hurt a bit, it was fast!

While I am also evolving, and my potential is definitely much higher than Lin Zhiyong's, my progress is gradual. Although it doesn't hurt, it's slow!

Chen Ping'an is quite strong now. Just as Lin Zhiyong said, he might be able to lift the cauldron that Xiang Yu carried.

But since Lin Zhiyong brought it up, why not just give it a try!

"There are rocks outside, quite a few big ones. Go and try moving some!"

The four of them went outside, and Lin Zhiyong discovered another change: in the darkness, he could ignore the darkness and his vision was still as far as during the day.

Outside the tavern, there are many large stones, some weighing tens of kilograms, some weighing a hundred or two kilograms, and some weighing three or five hundred kilograms. They were all pulled out of the mine in the past.

Watching Lin Zhiyong easily lift that huge rock, which must have weighed at least four or five hundred pounds, above his head, Hathaway could no longer suppress the envy in her eyes.

Hanks Gan muttered to himself, "This is super-soldier serum, is this Captain America Rogers, or a mutant?"

With a "boom," Lin Zhiyong felt the stone in his hand was still light as a feather. After throwing it down, he couldn't help but look at his pickup truck.

"Oh……"

With a sudden exhale, Lin Zhiyong actually lifted the front of the pickup truck with both hands and did a barbell exercise in the gym, feeling very relaxed.

"Ha ha!"

Suddenly the golden rope was released, and the jade lock was torn apart.

The official seal arrived from Ping'an Town; only today do I realize who I truly am.

"Ping An, I'm selling my life to you from now on!"

Lin Zhiyong couldn't help but laugh out loud, and patted Chen Ping'an on the chest, his words unusually sincere.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you sell your life to me before?"

Chen Ping'an laughed and punched his shoulder hard: "Besides strength, what other superpowers do you have?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyong immediately pulled an axe from under the back seat of the pickup truck, placed his left hand on the edge of the truck bed, and swung the axe down.

With a clang, the axe struck the illusory armor arm guard without causing any damage, and Lin Zhiyong's hand was also unharmed.

"This armor can at least protect against ordinary small-caliber shotgun and pistol bullets. As for whether it can withstand the power of a rifle, we'll have to test it later."

He had barely finished speaking when he heard several cries for help coming from the direction of the entrance to Ping'an Town in the distance.

"Help!"
