They found themselves in an antique-style study.
Directly in front of them, the man who had just been criticized by Lena was now sitting with his legs crossed, looking at them with amusement.
When Lena saw who it was, her resentment vanished instantly, replaced by delight in her eyes.
She rushed over in one stride, almost throwing herself into Lin Ci's arms.
"You're finally back!"
Pan Zhen immediately realized what was happening and bowed respectfully to Lin Ci.
"Thank you, Lord of All Gods, for saving us."
Lin Ci looked at Lena's excited face and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"What, you've missed me that much after just a few days?"
Lena blushed, but stubbornly retorted.
"Who...who misses you! I'm just so bored floating in space!"
Lin Ci smiled and stopped teasing her.
His gaze shifted to Pan Zhen, who stood respectfully to the side.
Pan Zhen raised his head, his expression solemn.
Lin Ci's fingertips tapped lightly on the table, producing a crisp sound.
"Haven't you always been looking for a way to ensure the perfect continuation of the Blazing Sun Civilization?"
"I have a plan, would you like to hear it?"
Upon hearing this, Pan Zhen's body jolted violently!
This problem is the biggest knot in his heart, and indeed in the entire Lieyang civilization, for hundreds of thousands of years.
To ensure the continuation of their blazing sun, they were even willing to wage war, attempting to transform Earth into their new home.
And now, this mysterious and unpredictable Lord of Gods actually claims to have a solution?
Pan Zhen's breathing became a little rapid.
He solemnly clasped his hands and bowed deeply.
"Your Excellency, Lord of All Gods, please enlighten me!"
A meaningful smile appeared on Lin Ci's lips.
He uttered two words slowly.
"Believe in me."
Chapter 134 The plan begins
These two words, like two exploding stars, resounded loudly in Pan Zhen's mind.
Faith...the Lord of all gods?
He subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Lena beside him.
The planet Lieyang has a chief god.
Moreover, this supreme deity is standing right here.
To make the entire civilization abandon its own god and worship another god?
This...this is simply unheard of and absurd!
Pan Zhen saw that Lena's beautiful face showed no anger at being offended, but rather a thoughtful expression.
Her golden eyes gleamed with wisdom.
A moment later, to Pan Zhen's astonishment, Lena actually nodded.
"I think it's fine."
Pan Zhen's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"My God! This...this is far too hasty!"
Lena shook her head and analyzed.
"Pan Zhen, haven't you figured it out yet?"
"Lin Ci is the god of faith of the Angel Civilization, a synonym for power and mystery."
"If our Radiant Sun Civilization also believes in him, wouldn't that mean we're standing on the same side as the most powerful angelic civilization in the known universe?"
"This will only benefit Lieyang's future, and will not harm it."
Pan Zhen was speechless after hearing Lena's words.
From a rational perspective, this is indeed the case.
But from an emotional and traditional standpoint, he still finds it hard to accept.
Just then, Lin Ci's lazy voice rang out again.
"Let me correct that."
"It's not just the Angel Civilization."
"From this moment on, all civilizations under the Styx Civilization will also worship me."
Lin Ci picked up the teacup and gently blew on the steam, as if he were talking about something trivial.
"Oh, right."
"I just casually recruited Karl."
Pan Zhen: "!!!"
Pan Zhen felt as if his brain core had been struck hard by an incomprehensible force.
Did you casually recruit Karl into your ranks?
Karl, the Grim Reaper who single-handedly instigated a cosmic war and made even the Angelic Civilization feel troubled.
That illusory god that even Pan Zhen could only threaten with words, but could not truly and completely erase?
Just like that... gone?
Pan Zhen's gaze shifted back and forth between Lin Ci's overly youthful face and Lena's thoughtful expression beside him.
He clearly saw Lin Ci arrive here with his own eyes.
Does it take about half an hour in total?
Pan Zhen has been conquering the universe for hundreds of thousands of years, and for the first time, he began to question the passage of time.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and he spoke with difficulty.
"Your Excellency, Lord of All Gods...you...you mean, Karl, the God of Death of the Styx Galaxy, has already..."
Lin Ci picked up his teacup and blew on it.
"Yes, he's my little brother now."
"From now on, when he sees me, he'll have to call me 'boss'."
Pan Zhen: "..."
Lena looked at Pan Zhen's worldview collapsing, a hint of a smile flashing in her golden eyes.
She has long been used to it.
This man named Lin Ci is such an unreasonable person.
You can never understand him using common sense.
Pan Zhen took a deep breath and forced his data core to stabilize.
He suddenly realized that Lin Ci's suggestion wasn't so unacceptable after all.
An existence that could make Death God Karl bow down in submission.
An existence that the most powerful angelic civilization in the known universe reveres as a god of faith.
If the Lieyang Civilization could establish a connection with this...
Pan Zhen's heart began to race faster than ever before.
But he was ultimately the guardian deity who had assisted the Lieyang civilization for hundreds of thousands of years, and loyalty and tradition were ingrained in his very bones.
"I personally... strongly agree with your proposal."
Pan Zhen's tone was more respectful than ever before.
"But this is, after all, a matter concerning the very foundation of my Lieyang civilization."
"I need to return to Lieyang Star to consult His Majesty Emperor Hongkun."
Di Hongkun, Lena's grandfather, is the true behind-the-scenes power holder of the Lieyang Civilization.
Upon hearing this, Lena curled her lip indifferently.
"Oh, what's there to ask? I just agree, isn't that enough?"
"I am the supreme god, okay?"
Pan Zhen immediately bowed.
“My God, the rites must not be abandoned.”
"This matter must be approved by His Majesty Emperor Hongkun before it can be announced to the entire star."
Rena couldn't persuade this stubborn old man, so she could only helplessly shrug and look at Lin Ci.
"Then let's go back first."
"I'll come find you after I've dealt with that old man."
Lin Ci nodded and waved casually.
The next second, Pan Zhen and Lena disappeared from the study of Death Song Academy.
