"Are you... the Supreme One?"
The High Priest had been focused on Zhang Wenwen, the heretic, and only now did he clearly see Zhang Chen's face.
He wore a dark red ring on his hand and had participated in the battle against the Supreme One.
However, back then, he had only exchanged a glance with the Supreme One before being blown away, managing to survive by chance.
But so much time had passed, and he never expected that the Supreme One would not only not age but actually become younger!
When he saw the light green ring on Zhang Chen's hand, he realized that Zhang Chen and the Supreme One were not the same person, but merely looked alike.
"No... you have a ring on your hand... having a ring means you are just another Transmigrator like us..."
"At best, you are just a slightly stronger human. What right do you have to call yourself a god?!"
"The True God Cult only worships a human. Hah, how laughable!"
The High Priest, having recovered some strength, slowly stood up and mocked.
"You worship monsters from the apocalypse. Compared to them, aren't strong humans more worthy of worship?"
Zhang Chen asked with a strange expression.
"We worship those who can protect us in the apocalypse, not just anyone who deceives everyone under a false banner!"
"Lu Xuefeng, is this your god? Is this the existence you have persisted in believing in for so long?"
The High Priest said with a smug smile.
"Your god has appeared, and you are prepared to die. What kind of protection is this?"
"Our God is truly protecting us!"
Zhang Wenwen instantly charged at the High Priest, raising his fist as if to smash the mouth that disrespected the True God.
"Roar~~ Gggrrr... Ya!"
【Blade Storm】!
The monster did not care what these small figures in front of it were doing.
It was enraged by the peculiar frequency emitted by the aerial fortress's engine, and it flapped its wings violently.
The wind blades let out wails like ghosts, crashing down overwhelmingly.
Spanning tens of square kilometers, survivors wouldn't even have time to escape even if they fled as the skill was activated!
Whoosh!
Zhang Chen stood quietly in place, and it wasn't as if he did anything.
The sharp wind blades, just as they were about to hit everyone, instantly turned into gusts of turbulent winds that roared past.
Some survivors with weaker bodies, wearing blue rings, were directly blown away by the strong winds and then fell heavily to the ground.
"This energy is quite good!"
As soon as Zhang Chen finished speaking, an energy core slowly appeared before him and then dropped into his palm.
【Divine Power Control Experience +20! Current Divine Power Level Lv1, Current Experience 433/500!】
Zhang Chen couldn't actually use skills now, but he could condense the surrounding biological energy.
The skill of the Flying Centipede was instantly absorbed by Zhang Chen, becoming much weaker.
"How... how is this possible? How can you master the blessed power of a god?!"
The High Priest exclaimed in utter shock.
If Zhang Chen was just physically strong, punching someone flying, or firing an energy beam to split the giant tree in two,
The High Priest would not have found any of this strange.
He would have just been a powerful survivor, and the Supreme One could also reach such a level, but even he dared not claim to be a god!
Mere mortals, in the face of the myriad unknown horrors of the apocalypse, could only struggle to survive!
But what the High Priest found incredible was that Zhang Chen had conjured a crystal core out of thin air!
This was something only their perceived gods could do!
Moreover, Zhang Chen had effortlessly neutralized the Flying Centipede's attack, resolving it with a mere flick of his wrist, without using any skills.
Even if Zhang Chen had opened an energy barrier, or emitted some form of vibrational attack to disrupt the wind blades' frequency, these things the High Priest could understand.
Yet, everything Zhang Chen did was a skill that the High Priest had never heard of or seen before!
Zhang Chen could effortlessly do things that only apocalyptic monsters, powerful to the point of being god-like, could achieve.
How could this not shock him?!
The believers in the audience, at the same time, began to waver in their unwavering faith.
"Wasn't it said that the power of blessed crystal cores is exclusive to gods? How come this man has it too?"
"Moreover, the demon god's attack turned into strong winds in front of him, and he didn't even move a finger!"
"This... this can't be human!"
"Could it be... that the rumors of the True God Cult are true? Is this person the powerful reincarnated embodiment of the True God?"
"That's right, with such ability, perhaps only a god can achieve it!"
Everyone whispered uneasily.
"Gggrrr~ Ya!"
The Flying Centipede let out a deafening roar again, seemingly angered by Zhang Chen.
It crawled restlessly around the giant tree, coiling its body tightly around the trunk, its massive centipede head facing Zhang Chen, its blood-red eyes filled with rage.
"This big guy seems angry! It's going to be even more exciting when we fight later!"
Mo Ran giggled a couple of times, then grabbed a large handful of potato chips and stuffed them into her mouth.
"This is my first time seeing Dad fight such a big monster, I feel so excited!"
Xiao Bai said with a smile.
Angelina, seeing how carefree Zhang Chen's two daughters were, was speechless.
Aren't daughters supposed to be their father's sweet little cotton jackets?
They were watching like spectators, even eating potato chips?
What was going on?
At this moment, the Flying Centipede suddenly opened its large mouth, and a scorching energy beam was fired towards the camp!
To be precise, its target was Zhang Chen.
However, Zhang Chen was too small, and the energy wave emitted from its mouth was several times larger than the sacrificial platform, making it look like it was aimed at the camp.
In an instant, the previously dark and damp camp was instantly illuminated.
It was as if a small sun had descended from the sky.
The scorching air exploded.
Only then did the believers present react, and they each activated their defensive measures.
Pity the survivors wearing blue rings had no chance to develop after transmigrating, their strength only slightly stronger than ordinary people.
Even if the energy wave wasn't aimed at them, the heatwave alone was enough to cook them.
They all panicked, shielding their bodies with their arms, while parents used their bodies to shield their children...
Hum~
A blinding flash of light!
The survivors wearing blue rings looked at each other, realizing they were still alive!
The powerful energy attack from before had also inexplicably disappeared.
However, the surrounding mushrooms and moss were instantly dried out by the heatwave, standing withered on the ground, lifeless.
Only then did everyone see that it was Zhang Wenwen of the True God Cult who had protected them.
The people in the camp treated them like pigs and dogs, but Zhang Wenwen, whom they had only met once, was willing to help them. Was there even a choice between these factions?!
"We are willing to join the True God Cult!"
"The True God Cult is the true righteous path, trustworthy!"
"The True God's power is unparalleled, and the True God Cult is inclusive and tolerant. I am also willing to join!"
Everyone spoke one after another, full of effusive praise!
