Li Xin learned from Old Fang about the situation in the past few days. Oliver was dead, His Majesty Hokele had begun to take control, and Dragon Mother, Dalivin, Mr. Kan, and David had not returned, presumably leaving Moncalleta.
Li Xin thought they must have found a safe place to heal. After all, being involved with the Song of Hell, they likely had many enemies.
This ti, it truly felt like surviving a catastrophe. Facing the Pope’s power, unable to resist or escape, he thought he was certain to die. Yet, the dice surprisingly replicated Oliver’s resurrection ability from the Greedy Angel. It failed the first ti, succeeded the second.
The higher the rank of the opponent, the lower the success rate of replication.
Li Xin took more than a day for his body to slowly recover, but this ability was constantly declining, and replenishing with small animals was nowhere near enough for him to crawl out, until Old Fang arrived.
Old Fang was not a con artist; he had real skills.
After eating and drinking to his fill, Li Xin lay on the familiar yet strange bed, with plenty of sunshine—still so warm as if everything had returned to normal. He wondered what the King’s attitude was now, especially toward the Night Patrol. But for him, leaving early was better; if the Church Court knew he was alive, they likely wouldn’t let it go.
Thinking about the Pope’s big-eyed monster for now was futile, in face of overwhelming power, all sches were like castles in the air. But since he didn’t kill him, there’s a chance. He’d rember this debt.
Currently, leaving wasn’t easy either; Hedan was still under strict control. The new king’s coronation needed to ensure safety; it seed Hokele didn’t want any more accidents.
He also learned from Old Fang that Simmons was looking for him. Eventually, it was necessary to rely on Young Master Xiong Ying.
Li Xin entered the Twelve Zodiac Star Disc, sitting again on the high-back chair, feeling a sense of separation as if from another lifeti, as he activated Simmons’ star disc. It wasn’t long before Simmons arrived.
"Brother Li, you’re alive, that’s great!" With a trembling heart and shaking hands, Simmons couldn’t help but exclaim with excitent upon seeing Li Xin.
"With a master like Young Master Xiong Ying, how could I die?" Li Xin smiled, "How’s the situation upstairs now?"
Li Xin had learned so things from Old Fang, but Simmons being in the vortex should know more.
Simmons hurriedly recounted recent changes, including Hokele and Achilles visiting the George Family and promising generous rewards. The Hedan Daily was temporarily handed over to the Hex Bird Society for managent. As for cooperation with the Hex Bird Society, nothing had been clearly decided yet. From the new King’s angle, he surely wanted to cooperate, but how the Church Court sees it is uncertain. In essence, it’s all variables. Currently, the Celestial Principle School is experiencing earth-shattering changes, and the King had to reassess the Church Court’s power.
"I feel ashad lying here doing nothing," Simmons lanted.
Li Xin nodded; it matched with what he thought, "Luck, fate, and fortune, having good luck is better than anything; Young Master Xiong Ying is bound to soar this ti."
"Brother Li, don’t tease , I’m just basking in your glory." Simmons couldn’t brag at all, "Ahem, did you... kill Oliver?"
Li Xin nodded, "Accurately speaking, I was just part of it. This monster was pretty fierce—a Greedy Angel with divine traits. But he ultimately was defeated by , though there were twists later; the Pope’s divine soul descended and turned into a big eyeball to deal with . Fortunately, I didn’t die."
A Greedy Angel with divine traits? An angel of the retrograde path, yet a rare Divine Angel?
The Pope’s divine soul? ...Fatian Xiangdi?
To escape from one of the seven sub-gods of Dao Yuan Road...
Simmons suddenly felt parched, overwheld by the information, brain buzzing, "Brother Li, ... that big eyeball is His Holiness Ovanti, the Earth Pope’s divine soul, you..."
An undying ordeal?
"Can’t deal with him now, will settle this debt later. But this guy went to great lengths for Oliver. These layers of power usually don’t appear easily," Li Xin said. Although he had turned into a ss at that ti, his consciousness could still vaguely perceive the surroundings.
Watching Li Xin, who was pondering how to settle accounts with the Pope in the future, Simmons felt a tingling scalp.
"Brother Li, you should leave quickly, don’t stay in Hedan anymore!" Simmons suddenly said, "I’ll arrange a ticket for you imdiately, to return to Dragon Capital, or... go sowhere else, Black teor Empire is also an option!"
Li Xin froze for a mont, "Black teor?"
Simmons bit his teeth, after intense internal struggle, suddenly lifted his head, "Brother Li, Oliver is... the Pope’s son, his biological son."
Li Xin froze for a mont, initially suspecting he might have misheard in a hallucinatory mont, but it seed all was true. So vague mories surged, Vladimir’s conversation with the Pope, and that hazy figure who picked him up.
"This is a disgrace to the Hedan royal family, those who know could be counted on one hand, but I reckon the Church Court’s Red-robed Archbishop might have speculated or even known all along. I’m very confused now..." Simmons said, realizing there’s more than one smart person in the world, certainly not just his grandfather.
Having revealed it, Simmons no longer cared, sharing the confidential secret his grandfather had told him on his deathbed, the George Family sacrificed much to earn this rit.
Li Xin thought the Church Court’s high ranks might know, or simply don’t care about this. No wonder Oliver could behave as he pleased, and the Church Court didn’t care—a plausible reason if Oliver is the Pope’s son. That old fox really is low despite being high!
It’s no surprise he acted personally; if the Earth Temple knew Li Xin was still alive, it would never end. Fortunately, his return was quiet... likely unnoticed, but Li Xin’s attention was on sothing else.
"Do you know the whereabouts of that Judgent Angel born from the King and Moon God’s Court collaboration? She disappeared after attacking Oliver," Li Xin asked.
"Prince Achilles ntioned that the angel’s assassination failed, and she fell. It seems that was why Oliver lowered his guard, the Earth Temple also relaxed," Simmons replied, "My grandfather cooperated with Ola XVII and the Moon God’s Court for this matter, the Moon God’s Court used the Secret Art, and that Judgent Angel inherited my grandfather’s angelic power. However, such a Rapidly Made Angel has huge risks, exhausting lifespan, and there’s a life contract—my grandfather passed on all his powers, but she couldn’t live more than a month, Brother Li, my condolences."
Simmons didn’t know how to comfort him. Being chosen as a Rapidly Made Angel ans a destined fate; dying in battle might have been the best choice for that Judgent Angel. Although failing to kill Oliver, it still ultimately led to Oliver’s demise.
Li Xin was silent for quite a while, "Help get a ship ticket, to return to Dragon Capital."
