The Path Toward Heaven

Chapter 816 Show

Priestesses' spirits are exhausted too much, their aging speed is much faster than that of ordinary humans, and their lifespans are relatively short. It can be easily calculated that several or even ten priestesses will return to Xinghai every year, which means that several or even more than ten successors of priestesses will come to the main planet to receive training in the sacrificial hall.

Since it is a normal state, the people of the Galaxy Alliance should not be too interested in the arrival of the successor of the priestess to the main star. But the priestess of the star gate has a very high status in the altar, only below the unspeakable one, on the same level as the priestesses of the other six star regions, and her successors are different after all.

What's more, the successor of the Stargate Priestess this year is a poor girl from an underground street. That legendary story has already spread from the Stargate base to countless planets, so so many news media came to interview, and several TV stations even chose to broadcast it live.

But those TV stations didn't expect that the ratings would climb up quickly after the live broadcast started, and then suddenly climbed an unimaginable curve.

How is this going?

The sensitivity of news media directors and reporters to ratings is terrifying, just like a soaring immortal's perception of the changes in the heaven and earth. Almost at the same time, all the news media received orders, or very consciously pointed their cameras at the red-haired priestess... the boy behind him.

More than a dozen drones landed from a high altitude, as if they were going to take pictures of the boy's face, until the battleship issued a low-altitude warning, they reluctantly rose a little.

The boy was wearing a very ordinary blue hoodie. He didn't have any fashion sense, didn't wear makeup, didn't even have a hairstyle, and his black hair was tied casually.

No one would care about this, all eyes fell on his face.

How to describe this face?

indescribable.

Whether it was the officials at the airport, the reporters, the bishops of the sacrificial hall, or the people in front of the TV screen, when they saw Jing Jiu's face, they could only exclaim in amazement, or simply praised how beautiful it was.

Don't think that he is not beautiful enough just because he doesn't describe it. In fact, what else can he do other than praise the beauty itself?

Lotus with dewdrops? That lonely and beautiful tree outside the lotus pond? That rainbow over the top of the tree? The Southern Cross constellation at the end of the rainbow?

No, any description that falls on the ground will be problematic, because it will be proved wrong in the end, those lotus flowers and trees, rainbows and stars are not as beautiful as him.

Don't mention the Spring Breeze Ten Miles or something.

...

...

Accompanied by Jiang Yuxia and Huaxi, Zhong Lizi walked out of the battleship.

The three girls were all extremely beautiful, and they all had different beauties, but when they walked together with Jing Jiu, it was difficult to see their beauty.

The government officials who came to greet him, the reporters of the news media, and the people in front of the TV were all guessing the identity of the blue-shirted boy. Many interested people had already opened the forums related to the Stargate base, hoping to find out the answer.

The bishops and female officials of the sacrificial hall and priestly college showed a little surprise in their eyes, but soon calmed down. Presumably, they already knew Jing Jiu's identity and had been specially reminded.

The screen swiping on the forum, the discussion in front of the TV, and the female reporter's gaffes didn't come to an end until Jing Jiu and the others got into the car.

The main star is a very traditional and conservative place. Of course, it is more for safety reasons, and the flight control is extremely strict.

It is very inconvenient for civil aircraft to take off and land in a fixed area and fly on a fixed route only after double approval from the government and the military. Most of the people travel by high-speed suspension trains, even high-level government officials and heads of aristocratic families often take suspension vehicles, and the suspension vehicles are not allowed to exceed five meters above the ground.

The convoy that came to welcome Zhong Lizi and his party today was very large. Apart from the government, the sacrificial hall, and the Priest Academy, even a member of the Alliance Management Committee sent his own car, but unfortunately it was forgotten on the periphery.

There was no ridiculous scene of scrambling to pick up people. Several parties had communicated with each other beforehand. Zhong Lizi, Jing Jiu, Jiang Yuxia, Huaxi, and the bishop got into the concierge car of the altar, and the rest of the entourage boarded the government car.

The reporters of the news media noticed the formation of the convoy and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Then they found that today's security is much stricter than usual.

A strong wind blew high in the sky, blowing away some floating clouds, revealing a blue sky that was almost deep purple, and several warships...

Hundreds of heavily armed elite soldiers surrounded the Lieyang, stopped the reporters and the people who came to watch the ceremony, and cleared the way to the mountains in the shortest time.

More than a dozen of the latest mechs fell from the sky, the engines emitted cold flames, and flew in the low altitude with the sound of humming. As the convoy moved forward into the mountains, the laser cannons were aimed at the periphery, and the safety valve had obviously been opened.

Why is the military so vigilant? Could it be that what happened to Lieyang during its space journey to the main star?

...

...

The archbishop who was in the car with Jing Jiu and the others was called Tai Yang. He was the one who wanted to preach to Jing Jiu at the Fire Transmission Pagoda in Shouer City.

"The attack on the Lieyang is still a top secret. The officers and soldiers on the ship should be closed for investigation for a period of time. The military is under great pressure, but they should not come to harass the priest and you." Bishop Taiyang said in a low voice.

Jiang and Xia had long noticed that the priestesses and bishops of the Star Gate were very humble towards Jing Jiu, so they vaguely guessed something, so they could only pretend not to know.

The little girl Huaxi is very intelligent, but she is more interested in other things, such as the courtesy car for the sacrificial hall.

After getting in the car, she kept looking around. The complete living room, the extremely comfortable soft chairs, and the dedicated wine cabinet all reminded her of the manor at home.

There are so many facilities in a car, you can imagine how big and luxurious the interior space is.

Zhong Lizi learned some things from the priestess when he left the star gate, and Bishop Tai told her the rest before arriving at the main star.

From that day on, she talked a lot less.

Sitting in the car at this moment, she poured tea for Jing Jiu and straightened her collar as usual, but she still didn't speak.

...

...

It didn't take long for the convoy to leave the airport and arrived in the mountains in the northwest, 700 kilometers away.

That manor is the building of the Priest Academy, and the sacrificial hall can be seen after turning over the two mountains in front. It is said that further north, there are ancient civilization ruins that are tightly sealed.

Bishop Taiyang led the priests to deal with chores, and Jing Jiu and the three girls went to the second floor.

As soon as the teapot was placed on the small stove and the water hadn't boiled, there were stern questioning sounds from outside the building, as well as the slight electric sound of automatic guns being loaded.

Jiang Yuxia walked to the window and looked down, and saw more than a dozen elite soldiers in full armor standing outside the building with an officer.

The soldiers escorting the convoy to the Priest Academy looked at the officer's epaulettes and dared not stop them at all.

The officials of the Taiyang Bishop and Priests College stood on the stone steps expressionlessly, and shouted in a deep voice, "What do you want to do?"

The officer said: "The military department is investigating the attack on the battleship Lieyang, please don't stop it."

The Priest Academy official sneered and said, "You have to figure it out, this is the Priest Academy!"

The officer said, "You also need to be clear, this is the Department of Internal Affairs handling the case."

Hearing the name Department of Internal Affairs, Jiang Yuxia's expressions changed slightly, while Huaxi looked confused.

Zhong Lizi walked up to Jing Jiu, looked into his eyes and whispered, "Do you want to run away?"

Jing Jiu was looking at the pattern on the iron pot, when he suddenly heard this, he hummed in doubt?

Zhong Lizi said in a softer voice, "Let's go together."
