I don't want to come up with a funny book title anymore.

Although Chu Jiaoyang had oversimplified the matter, he had still provided them with some ideas.

Although the oracle almost explicitly named Xie Fengnan, it didn't directly write his name.

He's trying to mislead people; he might actually have a chance.

Jiang Mo Ran pondered for a moment: "Let's catch up with him first and tell him about the oracle."

They don't understand the Vatican, and they don't know if the Vatican has any special methods of identification.

If Xie Fengnan can get away with it, then everyone will be happy.

If that doesn't work, we'll have to consider other methods.

They moved closer to Xie Fengnan's position while discussing their plan.

"If this doesn't work, a battle is probably inevitable."

"Fight if you want, we're not pushovers."

Jiang Mo Ran shook his head, "We must finish this quickly, the Vatican's reinforcements will arrive soon."

As for how to leave this place, let's get out of here first.

Before they even reached their destination, the roar of aircraft could be heard overhead.

"Their reinforcements arrived so quickly??" Chu Jiaoyang looked up in astonishment.

“No…” Jiang Mo Ran also saw the aircraft emitting a cold metallic light.

"It doesn't look like a Papacy aircraft. Rather..." It looks more like one from their empire.

The more I look at it, the more familiar it seems...

"Let's go even faster," Jiang Moran decided immediately.

"I've only seen this unique wing curvature and fuselage texture in one other place."

Jiang Mo Ran kept her eyes fixed on the receding aircraft as she ran and spoke.

"Who?"

"Xie Xinghe, he's here."

Xie Fengnan had already shaken off most of his people and was preparing to find an opportunity to go back and find Chu Jiaoyang and the others.

"Hehe, the little guy can really run fast."

One sentence made Xie Fengnan's pupils shrink slightly.

Then a figure dressed in a red robe slowly emerged from behind the sand dune beside him.

She was looking at Xie Fengnan with a very interested gaze.

The gaze seemed to be examining a rare treasure, or perhaps investigating something.

"Are you from the Holy See?"

Xie Fengnan looked at the exquisite red robe with gold trim she was wearing; he knew something about a cardinal from the Vatican.

Upon hearing this, the woman smiled slightly but did not respond directly.

She approached Xie Fengnan step by step, saying, "The archbishop said he would like to invite you to visit us."

What if I say I'm busy?

Xie Fengnan narrowed his eyes. This sounded like an invitation to a trap, and he had no intention of getting involved.

The woman's voice held no anger, but rather a confident ease: "Do you think you have the right to refuse?"

These words carried an undeniable sense of oppression, pressing down on Xie Fengnan.

Seeing that Xie Fengnan did not show the reaction she had expected, the woman's expression turned slightly surprised.

"I think I do."

As soon as those words were spoken, a sword aura slashed straight at the cardinal.

The surprise on her face instantly turned into a cold expression as she blocked the sword energy.

"No wonder she's chosen by God." The woman's voice contained not only her displeasure at being provoked, but also a very clear sense of admiration.

It was astonishing that it could still launch an attack against itself despite her oppressive aura.

For this age group, Xie Fengnan is undoubtedly among the most outstanding.

"If I had come alone, I might not have been able to keep you here."

Her gaze returned to Xie Fengnan, as if she were raising her assessment of his worth.

"To show our respect for the Son of God, we sent quite a few people."

"We've invited you with such sincerity, are you still going to refuse?"

As if in response to her, four figures dressed in the same long robes as her appeared around Xie Fengnan.

Upon hearing the words "divine son," Xie Fengnan raised an eyebrow.

He didn't even know when he got this identity.

"You've mistaken me for someone else, haven't you?"

"This was my first time traveling far from home, and I never acted as a divine being."

The woman smiled again upon hearing this, "Divine pronouncements are never wrong. It has chosen you; this is the highest honor!"

"So, just come with us obediently, little god—"

"I said, I don't want to," Xie Fengnan said, enunciating each word clearly.

“I didn’t expect you to be so unwilling. Of course, we will not offend the divine child.”

"As far as I know, you don't seem to have come here alone."

A meaningful smile played on her lips, her tone dripping with threat. "You wouldn't want them to get into danger because of your stubbornness, would you?"

It must be said that this statement really hit Xie Fengnan right when he tried to force his way out.

He was indeed capable and confident of protecting himself under their control, but Chu Jiaoyang and the others were not.

Five seventh-tier experts, that's really giving him too much credit.

"Aren't you afraid I'll retaliate against the Vatican later?"

Xie Fengnan's words undoubtedly caused the others' expressions to change.

“Evangeline…”

The woman, known as Evangeline, raised her hand to interrupt the man.

"If the divine child wants revenge, he can come at me."

"I also want to know, how powerful are those chosen by the oracle?"

Why should I listen to you? Do you think I'm a reasonable person?

Xie Fengnan was speechless, although it wasn't surprising that the Vatican would do something so contradictory.

But there are a lot of flaws.

They probably thought that they would eagerly flock to the Vatican upon hearing its name.

Moreover, the name "Divine Child" sounds very prestigious, so who would refuse such a good thing that is delivered to their door?

Even if they might be sent to a brainwashing center later, being praised by the Vatican is something to brag about.

"Since you are so stubborn, I have no choice but to offend you."

"I apologize in advance for wronging the divine child, and I will apologize to the gods later."

Seeing Xie Fengnan's unyielding attitude, Evangeline immediately changed her strategy.

If the stalemate continues, the only outcome will be a fight.

Why not finish this sooner and call it a day?

The other four, having received her signal, immediately spread out in a fan shape and surrounded Xie Fengnan.

They were saying, "May God forgive us."

Xie Fengnan: ...

It's amazing how one second someone says they'll treat you like royalty, and the next second they don't care if you live or die.

The people in the Vatican do things quite arbitrarily, huh?

Just when a major battle was about to break out.

The aircraft stopped above them.

Xie Fengnan: Isn't that unnecessary? Five cardinals have already arrived, why do we need to call in more people?

Evangeline: In such a short time, even if the news had leaked, the troublemakers shouldn't have been able to arrive so quickly.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, someone jumped down from above.

He moved with agility, like a black lightning bolt, and landed steadily in front of Xie Fengnan.

As that cold, handsome face appeared before everyone, his dazzling golden eyes were also revealed.

"Are you... bullying a child?" Xie Xinghe narrowed his eyes slightly, scanning the members of the Holy See one by one.
