"Hmm?"
Ren Suo was taken aback, watching from outside the screen.
This question almost threw Ren Suo for a loop—he had rely wanted to see if characters from other gas could affect the ’results’ of the already uploaded ga reviews.
However, after so thought, Ren Suo roughly understood the Federal Governnt’s reasoning:
Firstly, the Mysterious Country was representing the Fairy Palace in their collaboration. The Federation’s attack on the monkey was twofold: one, to study ’Shapeshifting Beings,’ and two, to probe the Fairy Palace’s reaction.
Secondly, since the Federal Governnt had discovered the na ’Zhao Zili,’ it indicated they had invested considerable effort into investigating him.
Ren Suo had once made Zhao Zili leave behind the clue ’Fairy Palace.’ Although conveyed through lip-reading on the roof, it still linked Zhao Zili to the Fairy Palace.
At that ti, Ren Suo simply hadn’t wanted Zhao Zili to be labeled as one of the ’people from the future,’ so he had directly invoked the Fairy Palace, that mysterious and universally effective entity.
But if the federal investigation was thorough enough, they could also have learned this by buying information, using suggestive questioning, or other espionage thods. After all, Zhao Zili’s activities in Baiyun City, while not colossal, weren’t trivial either and were very attractive to the wealthy. It wasn’t impossible for the financially-influenced Federation to invest effort here.
There was also another possibility: the Federation might have obtained information about Zhao Zili through supernatural abilities, thus learning of his connection with the Fairy Palace. Since Space Series Spells like those used by Dong Chengling had erged, it wasn’t impossible for Prophetic System Spells capable of searching global information to exist.
Whichever thod it was, the Federation had already jumped to the conclusion that Zhao Zili was a mber of the Fairy Palace.
Now, the monkey that had activated the Spirit Vein on Liberty Island was an animal sent by the Fairy Palace to ’accrue rit.’
With such similar background settings, it was no wonder the Federal people imdiately assud Zhao Zili was sent by the Fairy Palace.
With a ntal command, Ren Suo made the expressionless Zhao Zili slowly nod.
Didn’t the Federation want to test the Fairy Palace’s reaction? Whatever reaction you want, that’s the reaction you’ll get!
Zhao Zili then put away his rocket launcher and deactivated his ’One Hundred and Eight Feathers Robe,’ from which holy feathers had been continuously drifting.
Zhao Zili said, "I didn’t expect you Federation folks would treat a Fairy Palace Envoy this way."
Even if Ren Suo were to shout commands, Zhao Zili’s tone would remain perpetually calm, betraying no emotion.
Yet Vanessa grew even more tense—the ’Priest’s Aura’ could be benevolent or stern, its effect depending on the mood of the person influenced.
When Vanessa sensed Zhao Zili was displeased, the aura would affect her, making her frightened. She felt the portly man before her escalate from panda-level harmlessness to the ferocity of an iron-eating beast!
She stamred, "Th-then, what do you plan to do?"
Zhao Zili replied, "What do I plan to do? Nothing."
Vanessa asked, "Aren’t you from the Fairy Palace? Aren’t you here to... help that monkey?"
Vanessa didn’t dare use the word ’save’—because the abuser was officially the Federation.
Zhao Zili stated, "No, I am not from the Fairy Palace."
Seeing question marks appear above the heads of Vanessa and the others, Zhao Zili explained, "Although the Fairy Palace sent , I am not yet a formal mber. My purpose here is to complete a task assigned by the Fairy Palace. If sothing happens to the monkey—"
Zhao Zili drew out his words, coldly observing Vanessa and her companions until he saw cold sweat begin to bead on their backs, before slowly finishing, "I’ll just go over and save its life. Nothing more."
"The Shapeshifting Tribulation is the monkey’s tribulation. It includes the Mortal Tribulation, which ans facing obstruction from ignorant mortals... It’s clearly a trial it must endure."
Hearing Zhao Zili’s response, Vanessa felt the commanders in her earpiece collectively sigh in relief. She then continued to ask, "But aren’t you a Priest of the Monarch of Wind, Rain, and Snow, the Lord of Billion Brilliance, the Eternal Burning Heart? Why then do you wish to join the Fairy Palace?"
"Deities do not prohibit self-interest, and the Fairy Palace does not restrict one’s origins," Zhao Zili said indifferently.
These few sentences from Zhao Zili, instantly translated into English, conveyed a volu of information that left the distant command center and the waiting presidential cabinet utterly shocked.
If the appearance of the Nine-Tailed Fox and the Mysterious Country’s endorsent hadn’t convinced them of the Fairy Palace’s existence, then Zhao Zili’s appearance was the final straw. It made them fully recognize the Fairy Palace as a supernatural force independent of Earth.
Even this Proxy, already a Divine Priest who had received countless blessings and possessed an incredibly long lifespan, was rely an intern for the Fairy Palace, needing to complete a mission to formally enter the Fairy Palace.
What kind of organization is the Fairy Palace, exactly?!
Countless people roared this question inwardly. Vanessa, however, remained oblivious to the Fairy Palace’s true significance, awaiting the next order from her superiors.
At that mont, a tall, corpulent Caucasian man, resembling the Michelin Man, ran over and loudly inquired in English.
Zhao Zili glanced at him without any reaction.
Vanessa, who had been waiting, heard the overweight man’s query, looked slightly taken aback, and asked Zhao Zili, "He’s asking why you haven’t continued healing them..."
Now is the ti!
Ren Suo imdiately activated two Blessings, ’Sacred Word’ and ’Holy Sound,’ causing Zhao Zili’s voice to echo throughout the Port of New York as he proclaid:
"I am extrely disappointed that the Federation would persecute the Fairy Palace’s Spirit Monkey, which ignited the Spiritual Objects for you. I was originally following the commands of the great deity to bestow blessings upon all living beings, but your actions fill with contempt. Therefore, I will no longer heal you."
Having said this, Ren Suo paid them no further mind and activated ’Farsight’s Blessing’ to watch the live battle on Liberty Island. Holy shit, the Handso Monkey King has already picked up his staff and is brawling with the Birdman Angel!
Zhao Zili was speaking Mandarin, which most of the Federal people probably didn’t understand. However, Ren Suo had used two powerful Blessings to ensure the words spread far enough; soone would naturally translate and disseminate them.
Heh, didn’t they want to test the Fairy Palace’s response? Now that no one from the Fairy Palace itself has appeared, the reaction of an ’unofficial mber aspiring to join the Fairy Palace’ trying to curry favor should be enough for them to chew on.
If the Fairy Palace had sent a combatant, the Federation might have quickly cowered. But now, with Zhao Zili appearing as a ’Super Doctor,’ the Federation was caught in a dilemma. It wasn’t that they couldn’t defeat him in a fight, as Zhao Zili posed no real combat threat, yet they couldn’t afford to offend a doctor.
Ren Suo, on the other hand, didn’t care at all. He had never believed Zhao Zili’s mission would succeed this ti. Besides, he had already healed two to three thousand people; only a handful of individuals on the periphery of the Port of New York remained untreated.
However, since the Federal people had just given Zhao Zili an opportunity to ’represent’ the Fairy Palace, Ren Suo had conveniently seized it.
It remained to be seen whether this reaction could generate public pressure.
However, contrary to Ren Suo’s expectations, the people at the Port of New York seed to understand Zhao Zili’s words and were instantly agitated:
"We didn’t know about this!"
"Have those damned politicians sold out our interests again?"
"Can’t you at least finish treating my obesity and nearsightedness first?!"
"And you call yourself a priest?!"
Losing a free benefit always incites incredible anger—especially when others have enjoyed it and you haven’t. This ’resentnt for what others have and you lack’ fuels a heart-consuming regret.
Few people could calm themselves with the thought: ’What others give is their kindness; what they don’t give is their prerogative.’
Huh? Zhao Zili doesn’t seem to have the ’Consciousness Communication’ Skill... Could it be that after becoming a Priest, everyone automatically understands what Zhao Zili says?
Ren Suo genuinely didn’t know about this—after all, he had never actually t Zhao Zili.
With this setup, it would also make sense that English spoken by other Federal people appeared as text bubbles—Zhao Zili could actually understand them, but Ren Suo couldn’t, hence the need for this translation thod.
At this mont, the sounds of fierce fighting erupted from Liberty Island. As Zhao Zili turned to look, he saw the Handso Monkey King raise his Flaming Stick high, bringing down a Shadow of the Flaming Stick upon the Angel, who had been knocked into the air by an earth-based attack!
"It’s already progressed this far?!"
Ren Suo clicked his tongue, realizing he had missed many battle scenes.
As expected, under such a fierce blow, the Angel fell decisively. The Federal soldiers on Liberty Island attempted to shoot the Handso Monkey King, but with a single shake, he produced a thousand clones that sward and pumled the Federal personnel.
Then, taking several steps in mid-air, the Handso Monkey King landed on the torch of the Statue of Liberty and gazed towards the East.
At that mont, dawn broke over New York, a single ray of sunlight piercing the darkness. Standing on the torch, the Handso Monkey King looked like the Great Sage reborn.
The Iron Rod in its hand suddenly extended and thickened, instantly seeming to possess the power to prop up the heavens, transforming into a colossal pillar between heaven and earth. The people in the Port of New York stared, stunned, as the surrounding noise died down instantaneously.
The next second, the Iron Rod fell. With a thunderous crash, the Upper New York Bay was forcefully struck, parting the waters and revealing the riverbed below.
A single strike parted the sea!
From an observer’s perspective, the Handso Monkey King’s feat was even more awe-inspiring. The juxtaposition of its small stature with such imnse power delivered a visual shock that left all onlookers speechless.
"I am returning."
Leaving behind words that echoed through heaven and earth, the Handso Monkey King perford Cloud Stepping and vanished without a trace.
Ren Suo, of course, didn’t miss this opportunity—
Zhao Zili turned his head and glanced at Vanessa. Using ’Holy Sound’ and ’Sacred Word’ again, his voice, though not loud, was no less impactful than the Monkey King’s—perhaps even more shocking—as he stated flatly,
"I am returning as well."
"Hmph. Foolish."
The next second, Zhao Zili, atop the lamppost, transford into a burst of white light and dissipated from everyone’s sight.
