313: The gods come in person

“There’s something to it, but there’s still an element of performance.”

Qiu Yan looked at Qin Yang on the stage, his mind as clear as a mirror.

As one of the only two Sages on duty, he knew that Zhang Lingxiao was not dead, and he also knew that Qin Yang had promised the Law Emperor to resurrect Zhan Tianxiong.

At first, he was a little skeptical.

After all, resurrecting someone who had been dead for more than ten days required violating the Law of the God of Death, which was not something an ordinary person could do.

Of course, one possibility could not be ruled out.

That was, Lin Xuan or Zhang Lingxiao had some Divine Artifact in their possession.

Especially Zhang Lingxiao.

What else couldn't this guy do, when he could even fake his own death?

Qin Yang revealing Zhan Tianxiong's corpse at this moment surely meant he had a way to resurrect him, and conveniently smooth over the lie of “Zhang Lingxiao's death.”

“Resurrecting the dead can indeed be considered a public display of power.”

“But compared to the arrogant words he just spoke, it's nothing.”

Qiu Yan thought to himself.

There were ways to resurrect the dead, but they were rare.

However, no one capable of commanding a god had yet appeared.

Qiu Yan leaned back in his chair, watching Qin Yang with interest.

As if anticipating a performance, he wanted to see how this young Sage would retract his previous “arrogant words.”

If he couldn't, that would definitely be a major mistake.

At that time, Qiu Yan would definitely go all out to remove Qin Yang from the Sage's seat.

Even though he had never admired anyone as much as he admired Qin Yang.

“Come on, let me see how you will transcend the gods!”

No sooner had Qiu Yan's thought faded than ripples appeared on the main stage.

Behind Qin Yang, an exquisitely shaped but ancient-looking bronze mirror appeared, as if it held millions of years of heritage.

Anyone with discerning eyes could tell.

This was a Divine Artifact!

“This Aura... could it be a Gold-grade Divine Artifact?!”

Qiu Yan gasped, feeling his heart almost stop.

Inside the Thousand-Person Conference Hall, gasps of astonishment erupted.

Burning gazes collectively focused on that mirror.

“What grade of Divine Artifact is this...?”

“It feels at least Black-grade!”

“No... stronger than Black-grade. I'm a forger, I've dealt with Black-grade items. The power contained in this bronze mirror is definitely above Black-grade!”

The grades of equipment and items were divided into nine qualities: White, Green, Blue, Purple, Orange, Red, Black, Gold, and Rainbow.

For ordinary Professionals, assembling a set of Blue-grade equipment meant they would never have to worry about food and clothing in their lives.

Those with some foundation could strive for a Purple-grade set, but that was the ceiling. To further pursue Orange-grade required immense Luck, or the efforts of several generations.

This was something only a Family could achieve.

It was no exaggeration to say.

Possessing one Orange-grade equipment or item could elevate an entire Family to the next level.

As for Red-grade equipment, it could already be considered a Family heirloom.

Let alone acquiring it, ordinary people didn't even have a chance to see one.

Those seated in the Thousand-Person Conference Hall were all experienced bigwigs. Most of them had admired Red-grade equipment or items.

And the bronze mirror now before them.

Its heritage far surpassed Red-grade, and even... surpassed Black-grade!

Gold-grade item!

My goodness!

How many years had it been since such a treasure was seen!

If Qin Yang hadn't revealed it,

Many people would have forgotten that the Gold-grade even existed!

“My eyes have been opened; I can actually see a Gold-grade item in this lifetime!”

“Just with this mirror alone, the Qin Family can become the number one Family!”

“The Qin Family hides their strength so well! Six months ago, I didn't even know about this Family!”

Inside the venue, exclamations rose and fell.

Qin Yang, however, felt that he hadn't shown off enough.

No, buddies.

What kind of eyesight do you have?

This is Rainbow-grade!

The legendary Rainbow-grade!

Sigh, they don't know good stuff!

Qin Yang thought to himself.

He dared to release his Divine Artifact and was not afraid of people having covetous thoughts.

With his current strength, Professionals below the Emperor Tier posed no threat at all.

Plus, he had two Peak Emperors and one initial-stage Emperor backing him.

The difficulty of robbing him was higher than the difficulty of stealing a sky carrier from the Free Federation.

To still be secretive at this point would be counterproductive.

Appropriately revealing some “financial power” could help achieve his goals more easily.

After all, he still had three similar Divine Artifacts.

And he would soon acquire the fifth.

As the kunlun mirror slowly expanded, Qin Yang stood before it, as if standing before a gate of time and space.

At this moment, the entire hall was silent.

Everyone could feel that beneath the smooth mirror surface, there was an extremely profound space.

Ding!

It was as if a drop of water had fallen onto the mirror surface.

With a soft sound, ripples spread across the mirror.

A ethereal phantom slowly formed within it.

At the same time.

Ten thousand rays of Holy Light emanated from the mirror.

Everything in the Thousand-Person Conference Hall was enveloped in a faint golden glow, holy and gentle.

“This is... the power of the Holy Light Goddess! A god has descended!”

A trembling voice rang out from the seats.

Everyone turned their heads to look; it was an old woman with white hair, on the verge of death.

“It's Holy Light Bishop Zhang Yuzhen.”

The moment they saw her, a look of reverence appeared in everyone's eyes.

Zhang Yuzhen was the most esteemed Holy Light Bishop in the history of Kyushu.

She had saved thousands of Professionals during the civil war a hundred years ago.

In this Thousand-Person Conference Hall, many Advanced Professionals were those she had carried off the battlefield.

It was during that period that Zhang Yuzhen received a direct commendation from the Holy Light Goddess and learned her true name.

After this, Zhang Yuzhen's Holy Light power and skill effects were more powerful than those of other Holy Light Professionals, which allowed her to rescue more injured people and be awarded Kyushu's highest-level special merit.

Therefore, she recognized the Aura of the Holy Light Goddess!

The Holy Light power emanating from that mirror did not come from a profession or an item, but from the Holy Light Goddess herself!

Seeing Zhang Yuzhen so excited, everyone looked at the kunlun mirror with even more awe.

Even if Holy Light Bishop Zhang Yuzhen's eyes were dim with age, she would not mistake a god she had seen with her own eyes.

The figure in the ripples gradually became clear.

She wore a sacred white gauze dress, her beautiful face like a finely carved work of art, and in her clear eyes, pure holy springs seemed to ripple, reflecting a sacred light.

One of the eight orthodox powers of the world, the Holy Light Goddess.

Accompanied by ten thousand rays of colorful light, she appeared behind Qin Yang.

Everyone in the hall was purified by that sacred power, unable to harbor any distracting or impure thoughts in their hearts, as if the good in human nature was infinitely magnified at this moment.

At the same time, everyone was amazed by one thing.

Qin Yang... he could actually summon a god to descend personally!

Previously, when Si Zhenfeng mentioned that Qin Yang was revered as the “Holy Emperor” by the Knights Templar, everyone thought it was just an honorary title.

One must know that the Holy Light Sect was the core of the entire Western World.

How could such an important religious stronghold allow a Kyushu person to preside over it?

But they never expected... the value of this “Holy Emperor” was even higher than that of the Pope!
