Volume 7 Coral Chapter 643 Awakening
When perception returns again.
Chen Lun suddenly felt as if he was in another world.
The first thing he did after "waking up" was to call up the panel to check it.
This time, he was a little stunned.
[Regional Fame: 4456 points (Epic Fame: 148 points)]
"I remember that before the ceremony started, my regional reputation was 1325 points, and now I have accumulated 3131 points..."
The requirements for the angel's promotion mission require grand events to continuously provide influence for the ceremony, during which a total of 100 epic fame points are obtained, which is 3,000 regional fame points.
Chen Lun has already exceeded his target!
'How long have I slept? ! '
He immediately sent out his perception.
Suddenly, he couldn't help but be stunned again.
On the outer continent.
A full twenty-two years had passed since he fell asleep!
"Adding the first three or four years, that's twenty-five or twenty-six years, which is equivalent to more than five years on the Sun Continent..."
Chen Lun felt a little emotional.
'I didn't expect that only one twentieth of the time had passed since the "Hundred Years of Hiding", and I had already exceeded the requirements of the ceremony. It seems that the series of impacts brought about by the death of the Sun King are indeed too great... Of course, His Majesty Conrad and the Generous Council are secretly helping, continuously adding "fuel" to the ceremony.'
He calmed down and sensed the feedback of the ceremony.
Soon I understood.
Next, he only needs to wait for the world to gradually forget the name "King of Cang Yi", and then he will be able to successfully complete the promotion and become an eternal existence.
Angels have a nearly infinite lifespan and never die naturally.
By then, one's own strength will once again undergo a qualitative change.
Chen Lun glanced at the experience value reserves on the panel again.
During the battle in the spirit world, he single-handedly killed more than twenty saints, two demigods, and millions of players.
This has accumulated nearly 200 million experience points.
After that, he unilaterally hunted down high-ranking people in the empire to force the Sun King to show up, and killed more than a dozen saints, two demigods and millions of players in succession.
This is nearly 200 million experiences .
Finally, he participated in killing the Sun King and delivered a fatal blow. At that time, Chen Lun received nearly 300 million experience points.
Adding the more than 100 million experience points remaining on the original panel, as well as the experience points gained from his players and the century war during the years of dormancy, Chen Lun's experience point reserves on the panel have reached an exaggerated 900 million!
[Experience value: 93547W/1000W]
"If I ascend to eternity and become [Anonymous], these 930 million experience points should be enough for me to level up by dozens of levels at once, right?"
Chen Lun is very much looking forward to it.
Then, he tried to extend his perception to the outside world.
Fortunately, the original "host" Neil Lucius did not die. Not only was he alive and well, he also reached the fifth sequence of the Holy Fire Path [Flame Worshiper].
He is only one step away from being promoted to a high-ranking saint [Shadow by the Campfire].
But his current condition doesn't seem to be very good.
Neil was in a rather dim cell, with severe injuries all over his body, which looked like the result of long-term torture.
Bang!
The cell door was opened from the outside.
Several bishops of the Church of Redemption dressed in blue robes walked in, followed by Father Lan Yan.
A dozen redemption priests held candles for lighting.
"Neil Lucius, you still won't say anything?"
The leading priest, Father Lan Yan, had gray hair on his temples, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and he was questioning in a cold tone.
"Say...what?"
Neil's limbs were shackled to the wall with strong shackles. He raised his head with difficulty and answered in a weak and hoarse voice.
"It's been two months, and you're still so stubborn... Where did the demon named 'Snake' come from? What is his purpose for the Empire and even the Beretta Continent?"
Father Lan Yan asked expressionlessly.
Neil, who was over 40 years old, had a haggard face and closed his eyes tiredly.
After a while.
"I have no idea……"
His voice was quite deep.
Not to mention that he really didn't know much about Lord Snake, even if he did, he wouldn't say it out.
This is what you should do as a follower, a man, and a believer who has sworn an oath.
"You actually dedicated your entire life to that abominable demon, not caring about your life and soul... I admire your piety, but you are indeed hopeless."
A trace of regret flashed across Father Lan Yan's eyes.
"Since you were once a redemption priest, I'll just tell you...Pope Domingos has lost his patience. If you still refuse to reveal any information about the 'Snake', then next Monday afternoon will be your execution day."
As He spoke, He made a gesture, and a priest at the side came forward with a candle and slowly poured a glass of water on Neil's face.
The latter licked the water droplets with his tongue hungrily, and then he heard Father Lan Yan continue to say:
"In addition to the church, His Majesty Schroeder of the Glorious Empire, Queen Tori, the princes and princesses, and other royal family members, as well as the dignitaries of the capital, will all be present to witness your death... For you, it can be considered a kind of honor."
After He finished speaking, He did not linger any longer, but turned around and left with everyone.
Before reaching the door, Father Lan Yan gave one last exhortation:
"Think about it carefully."
Bang!
The iron door was closed again.
In the dark and silent cell, only Neil's faint breathing could be heard.
"Are you going to die..."
He whispered softly.
Over the past twenty years, he had experienced countless life-and-death crises, but this time, he was unprecedentedly calm.
Fortunately, his wife Lafla was arranged to live in a safe place. Although the children are naughty, they are taken care of by their eldest son Pascal, so there will be no major problems.
After all, Pascal has been sensible since he was a child, and now he is a mature young man in his twenties.
Moreover, the mysterious talent of this eldest son is surprisingly high, much stronger than Neil. He was promoted to Sequence Six [Self-Immolator] some time ago, which made him very pleased.
The only thing that puzzled Neil was that no matter whether it was the eldest son Pascal, the second son Mott, or even the third daughter Heather and the fourth daughter Carol, the hair color of these children was gray that was almost white, and their eyes were emerald green vertical pupils.
Neither Knill nor Lafla have such characteristics.
Even if we trace back to Lucius's family and Lafla's family, we can't find any similar examples.
In the end, Neil could only attribute this phenomenon to the influence of the power of Lord Snake...
In his life, he had received His power more than once, and perhaps over a long period of time, this power had unknowingly settled into his blood, causing his children to show extraordinary peculiarities.
Especially the mysterious talents and understanding, the body's self-healing ability, mysterious resistance and power, which are even comparable to some extraordinary creatures.
This made Neil both surprised and worried.
He was pleasantly surprised that the children were extremely talented and would be able to go further in the future, but he was worried about the Church of Redemption... He was afraid that his children would be wanted by the church and be captured and burned to death as demons.
"I hope that after I die, Lafla won't be too sad, and Pascal can take good care of his mother and his brothers and sisters."
Neil suppressed his reluctance and heartache and closed his eyes silently.
But at this moment.
A long-lost, strange yet familiar voice sounded from the bottom of my heart:
"Neil Lucius..."
He was stunned for a moment.
A deep and magnetic male voice, exactly the same as the one I heard when I was young and desperate.
Neil couldn't help but smile, thinking that he was just hallucinating.
After all, Lord Snake hadn't responded to him for twenty-two years.
And Neil had accepted his fate several years ago. Lord Snake might have already left and no one knew where he had gone.
But when that voice sounded again, Neil couldn't help but shudder all over.
"Neil Lucius."
"Snake...Sir Snake?!"
Neil's heart trembled instantly.
"It looks like if I sleep a few more days, you'll be burned to death."
There was a rare hint of amusement in Lord Snake's calm tone.
"I am so useless and I disappoint you..."
Neil responded shamefacedly.
Chen Lun silently used "Mind Stealing" to browse through the other party's experiences in the past twenty-two years, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
This guy drove a small boat and left Green Shade Harbor with his wife Lafla, and indeed lived a stable life for more than ten years.
They even left the territory of the Glorious Empire and settled in a remote town in the Ripple Empire. After giving birth to her eldest son Pascal, Lafla gave birth to three more children.
But the good times did not last long. The war between the Glorious Empire and the Mera Empire soon spread to the Ripple Empire, causing Neil's family to move one after another and wander around. Eventually, due to an accident, their identities were exposed, and they once again attracted Father Lan Yan from the holy land of Klein.
This escape lasted for three full years.
Later, in order not to implicate his family, Neil embarked on a desperate journey alone, fighting wits and courage with the Church of Redemption, the Abbasid Cult and the Blue Flame Inquisition along the way.
What amazed Chen Lun was that Neil was promoted to a [Flame Worshiper] in this process, and chose "destiny" as the way to absorb and integrate. The final effect was far beyond his expectations.
Neil's "Holy Fire" not only has the power to control animals, but can also predict good and bad luck and the future.
He even used "fire magic" as his foundation, allowing him to get rid of the fatal weaknesses of his mortal body. Even if his head and heart were destroyed, he would not die in a short period of time. As long as it was handled properly, he would be able to recover as before.
Moreover, "Fire Magic" can achieve short-range flash and medium- and long-distance teleportation. It is precisely because of this that Neil's survivability has been greatly improved, and he has repeatedly escaped from the hands of high-ranking people.
But he was only a Sequence Five after all. Facing the threat of mythical power was like dancing on the edge of a knife... After several years of fleeing, he was suppressed on the spot by the Blue Flame Inquisition in a carefully planned encirclement and suppression.
I was brought here two months ago.
The capital of the glorious empire, Hongyan City.
Neil is currently being held in the underground prison of the Redemption Church in Red Rock City. He will be publicly executed next Monday, three days from now.
'After absorbing fate, the Holy Fire perfectly integrated some of the core abilities of the middle and low sequences and presented them in the form of flames... I have to say that this kind of power is really wonderful, even great.'
Chen Lun thought to himself.
"Just wait patiently for your execution day, Neil."
Chen Lun said calmly.
"Mr. Snake...?"
Neil was slightly startled.
He mistakenly thought that Lord Snake had given up on him because of disappointment.
"You must be tired of fleeing, right? You also want to enjoy a truly peaceful life with your family? Since your faith has never wavered over the years, I will help you solve these troubles completely..."
Chen Lun chuckled.
After more than 20 years of "experiments" and "observations", he got the answer he wanted from Neil -
The Path of Sacred Fire can indeed absorb and integrate the Path of Sorrow and Joy.
The feasibility of my "great idea" is extremely high!
At this point, his exploration of the outer continent can be considered fruitful.
The only important thing left to do is to find the clue left by Huan Gong about the last Four Seasons Bookmark...
Chen Lun had long guessed that the so-called clue was most likely inside the Church of Redemption.
Neil was too weak before, and he didn't want to be exposed, so he just let things take their course.
But now, he finally doesn't have to worry about these things anymore.
Neil is now at Sequence Five, which is enough to bear part of his own power, and the angel promotion ceremony has also reached the final stage. He will no longer fall into a deep sleep easily.
Well, I can finally let go and move around!
It just so happens that this is the royal capital, so Chen Lun can take the opportunity to visit the headquarters of the Church of Redemption and take a good look at what secrets are hidden there!
"Thank you, Mr. Snake..."
Neil was very excited and said in his heart.
He suddenly felt hope for life and immense gratitude towards this great being.
