This did not align with his established image of never being at a disadvantage.

After all, many powerful demons had teamed up against him, only to suffer significant losses in the end.

If the church wanted to take advantage of Lini, the outcome might not be as favorable as they expected.

However, how Linu would break the deadlock was what these onlookers were most concerned about.

As for the content of the holy blessing ceremony, very few people paid attention.

Many had only recently learned about it.

Please be quiet.

At this moment, a blackclad priest appeared on the high platform of the venue.

The same one who had previously granted Lini permission outside.

The noise in the venue instantly quieted down.

The church's authority was still very strong, and positions like that of the blackclad priest and the steward were considered top tier figures in the minds of many.

Now that such a person asked them to be quiet, they naturally didn't te dare to speak immediately falling silent.

I believe many of you are here to witness the holy blessing of the priest Lini.

So let us have Linny go first.

The steward looked at Lini and said, "Upon hearing this," the audience couldn't help but perk up like cats catching a whiff of fish, eyes wide open and ears perked up, knowing that a good show was about to unfold.

As for Linnie in the venue, he simply smiled upon hearing this, then spoke.

No need.

Since I'm the last to arrive, I should go last on stage.

I don't want that privilege.

After a pause, Linny added, "Moreover, if I go first, it wouldn't he be fair to the other participants, so I refuse.

" The steward's expression turns slightly cold, but his surprise at Line's refusal was not too great.

This was quite normal.

The steward statement was merely an attempt to create an image that the church could freely arrange Lin Ya's participation as long as Lin Yi wasn't a complete fool.

He would not agree to it.

In that case, do as you wish.

The steward withdrew, and since Lin Yi was unwilling to accept the arrangement and preferred to wait below, it was no problem.

After all, it was merely a matter of accepting the church's arrangements or adhering to the church's rules.

It depended on how one guided the public opinion.

As long as the angle was right, one could still win.

Lenny did not speak again, simply sitting quietly with his eyes closed to rest.

Beside him, many had gathered, such as Yuan Dansing and Song He along with some who had previously received Lin Ya<unk>s favor.

They surrounded Linn Ye surrounding the moon.

As the holy blessing ceremony proceeded, those participants in front of Lynn Ye also received their respective blessings.

However, strangely, the rewards these participants received far exceeded their initial expectations.

While they could not be called top tier, the value of these rewards was indeed beyond imagination for those who had waited until now to take the stage.

After all, if they were strong enough, they wouldn't have had to wait until now to perform the blessing ceremony.

The more powerful ones had long completed their blessings in the morning and had already left.

How could they possibly still be here receiving such highle rewards? These participants were so excited that they repeatedly kissed the ground of the venue, constantly praising the holy light and the church's generosity.

No wonder these guys made it to the final stage.

Song looked at these excited individuals and couldn't te help but mutter in disbelief.

Anyone with eyes could tell that their ability to receive such good rewards was fundamentally due to Lin Ya's arrival.

With so many eyes watching, giving these people a little benefit was enough to make them grateful to the point of tears in front of all the onlookers.

What a profitable deal.

Yet these people were so oblivious, still fervently expressing gratitude to the holy light in the church.

Enough.

It's our turn to take the stage.

Lenny patted Song E on the shoulder and stood up.

At that moment, all eyes in the venue were fixed on Linny.

Chapter 369.

It's time to split up.

Line moved.

He really was patient enough to wait until the end.

But what exactly was he planning to do? Who knows? Just watch.

In the stands, the audience began to discuss among themselves.

Earlier, when they entered, it was still evening.

But now, the moon was high in the sky.

Some professionals were fine, but ordinary people were starting to struggle.

Even so, those who were obsessed with the five elements and the eight trigrams still insisted on staying, wanted to see how things would unfold before they left.

Moreover, even now more people were arriving one after another and the area outside was crowded.

So even if you wanted to leave, it wasn't that easy.

There were simply too many people paying attention to the situation here.

It's finally about to begin.

As the Archbishop Leang Gene Tion had been sitting in the stands for a whole day.

During this time, he remained dignified and serious, not even touching the tea beside him, as if he were in a meditative state.

Nevertheless, when Lin Yi was about to enter to pray for the saint, he couldn't help but lean forward, clearly curious about Lynn Y's upcoming performance, just like everyone else.

As for the earlier performances, rather than saying he was solemn and serious, it was more accurate to say that the saintly practitioners completely failed to peique his interest.

The archbishop had already prepared all the press releases for the media.

As soon as the prayer for the saint was over, they could be published immediately.

The chief steward approached Leong Gene Tion and leaned down to speak in a voice only the two of them could hear.

Very well.

What happens next is no longer within our control.

Just sit back and enjoy the show.

Leong Gene Tion replied.

The chief steward silently stood up and retreated behind Leong Gene Tion, looking coldly at the venue.

Just as Leong Gene Tion said, whatever happened next was indeed no longer their concern because now it was a matter between Lini and the Saints Council.

This was naturally beyond the control of Leong Gene Tion and the others.

After all, even the central church and the pope could not influence the Saints Council.

To put it simply, the Saints Council was the true brain of the church.

The others were merely pawns under everyone's watchful gaze.

Linny had already brought Yuan Dansing, Song E, and others onto the prayer platform.

In the center of the platform stood a massive stone tablet about 10 m tall, 3 m wide, and nearly 2 m thick.

It was inscribed with complex characters and various patterns, and at its core was a crystal that continuously emitted a faint white light.

This crystal is not simple, Linny murmured as he looked at it.

This is a saint light crystal, invaluable.

Many large skills or forbidden spells require various attribute crystals to assist in their casting.

Otherwise, they cannot be released.

For example, the holy healing technique I possess requires a saint light crystal to cast.

Other skills require different crystals according to their attributes.

Crystals can be obtained from various secret realms, but they can also be sourced from crystal mothers.

Crystal mothers actively absorb the corresponding attribute energy from the surrounding environment.

And once they reach a certain level, they will condense the corresponding crystals, which is why they are called crystal mothers.

The price of crystal mothers is extremely high because having one is equivalent to having an endless supply of crystals.

Additionally, crystal mothers are one of the most high-end equipment materials.

It can be said that this thing has immense value, whether as consumables or collectibles.

As for saint light crystal mothers, they are utterly extinct in the outside world.

They cannot be bought no matter how much money one has.

While saint light crystals are available in the market, Saint light crystal mothers are nowhere to be seen.

This is because the only place in the world that produces saint light crystal mothers is the city of light's favor which is controlled by the church.

One could say that the city of light's favor is the church's most core asset and the key to their lavish lifestyle sustained by the saint light.

Linny looked at the crystal mother, a smile creeping onto his lips.
