The pope's action not only forced back the mysterious strong man behind the portal, but also represented the attitude of the Holy See, which played a powerful deterrent effect, so they did not even have Huang Shang and others in their next trip. No more trouble.

Even Poseidon, who they were most worried about, didn't show up, and they didn't know if it was out of fear of the Pope, or he was busy with other things and couldn't get away.

In the process of approaching and arriving at the Vatican, Huang Shang and others also discovered one thing, that is, the closer they were to the Vatican, the more gathering places they saw along the way, and the more people there were. The zombies and ghosts that could be seen everywhere are becoming less and less.

Even when they were only two or three hundred kilometers away from the Vatican, they felt as if they had entered a piece of pure land, and there were hardly any zombies or other types of monsters to be seen along the way, even those The buildings destroyed in the disasters of the last days all have obvious signs of repair and reconstruction, as if someone is rebuilding and repairing these ruins.

It's a pity that the destruction of human civilization in the last days is far faster than the speed of reconstruction. In the face of the flames from the sky brought about by the sixth heavenly change, those buildings, monuments and even buildings that have just been rebuilt or are still being rebuilt Cities were once again burned by flames and turned into ruins.

However, although these reconstructed buildings and even historic sites were burned, most of these increasingly common survivor bases within two to three hundred kilometers of the Vatican survived.

These cities seem to be protected by some special power, and they are all shrouded in holy light. The power of these holy lights is extremely powerful, even the blazing Golden Crow's fire can hardly break through the defense of this holy light, let alone harm the people in those cities.

And what surprised Huang Chang even more was that the survivors in these cities seemed to be people who had practiced themselves. Even if they were not supernatural beings, these people were surrounded by pure light power, and their strength seemed to be unmatched. Not too weak.

"The people living in these cities are devout believers."

Seeing Huang Chang's astonishment, St. Augustine smiled slightly and said, "Some of them lived here in the first place, while some gathered from all directions after the end of the world to beg for the Lord's gift and protection."

"Although the location of the Holy City is limited and cannot accommodate all the believers, His Holiness still sent people to help these people establish these bases near the Holy City."

"In addition, His Holiness the Pope also asked these believers to teach the cultivation method, together with the light circles arranged when these gathering places were established, and the priests who stayed in the gathering places to teach the light spells and protect everyone, So these gathering places also have a good defense force, which is enough to deal with most dangers."

"More importantly, His Holiness the Pope will also send Holy Knights to regularly clean up the monsters nearby, so as to ensure the safety of believers as much as possible."

Speaking of this, St. Augustine sighed again, and said: "It's a pity that the situation is too dangerous now. Even if the Pope has the heart to protect all the believers, he has more than enough energy, so he can barely expand the safe area to St. Within a range of 300 kilometers around the city, as for letters from further afield... hey."

"That's already an amazing feat!"

No matter what the pope's purpose was to protect these survivors, even Huang Chang knew that it was probably because of the power of faith, but as far as the result is concerned, the pope and the Holy See did a great good deed after all, I don't know How many survivors were saved.

But at the same time, Huang Chang also had a better understanding of the power of the Holy See!

Being able to turn the holy city into a pure land within a radius of 300 kilometers, plus the size of the Vatican itself, the power possessed by the Holy See is definitely stronger than he imagined. More importantly, the survivors in these gathering places are under the protection, teaching, and brainwashing of the Holy See. The huge number of believers they shelter can not only provide them with strong faith, but also form an extremely powerful fighting force. Legion!

This is much more terrifying than the small fights of the major ancient capitals and some other sect forces!

No wonder even those forces outside the Vatican would be so afraid of mentioning the Holy See!

Thinking of this, a trace of curiosity arose in Huang Chang's heart.

The power of the Holy See is indeed stronger than he imagined, but as the top ancient forces, and even stronger than the Holy See, don't Taoist and Buddhist sects have any corresponding preparations?

impossible?

So if there is, what will be the preparations for the Taoist and Buddhist sects?

On the other side of Buddhism, Living Buddha Jigong told Bixia to go to him after returning to Huaxia, and there must be a corresponding explanation.

The same may be true of Lu Dongbin's reunion appointment with him before.

But the problem is that although there are many believers in Taoism and Buddhism, the degree of brainwashing is not as good as that of the Holy See, and there is no holy city like the Vatican. Even if it can have a great influence in Buddhist countries such as Tianzhu, it may not be as powerful as the Holy See. Build a huge army of monks.

Or are Taoism and Buddhism taking other paths?

"Um?!"

However, when Huang Chang's thoughts were racing, he seemed to feel something suddenly, his whole body trembled slightly, then he raised his head suddenly, and looked towards the extremely far away.

At this moment, even though he is still nearly a hundred kilometers away from the Vatican, he can still clearly feel the mighty aura coming from a hundred kilometers away!

It was a terrifying breath that he had never felt before!

Even if all the strong men he has encountered combined, there is absolutely no such terrifying aura!

This feeling is like standing in front of them is a true god who descended from the sky, and like a blazing sun hanging, that indescribably powerful, vast, and bright aura, even with his current cultivation Because, across such a long distance, I also felt a terrible pressure, and an urge to kneel down and worship!

The Vatican, the holy city that has stood in the world for thousands of years and has accumulated the power of faith of countless believers, is finally about to appear before his eyes!

And he will also face the biggest challenge since the end of the world!

If he can pass this test, then he can use the power of the Vatican to soar into the sky and obtain countless benefits.

But if you can't handle it...

Then he is afraid that he will be completely brainwashed by the power of the Vatican, thus losing himself and becoming a "pious" follower of the Holy See!
