Healing spells copy everything, I've cleared the Abyss

"It's almost time."

Lin Ye glanced at the time, closed the book in his hand, and sat up from the recliner.

Based on this timeline, it would take until almost the end of the opening ceremony for the team to get from the hotel to the Southern Vatican headquarters.

Lin Ye had no interest in arriving early like the others to listen to Liang Jintian spout empty rhetoric.

Lin Ye was already tired of hearing this kind of thing in his previous life.

Does it matter if he's late?
There is absolutely no problem!

The Vatican is more than happy to have Lin Ye attend the prayer meeting. Not only is Lin Ye late, but if Lin Ye is willing to attend, the Vatican can even postpone the meeting for him!

What I'm afraid of is that you won't come!
Moreover, since Lin Ye was late, the Vatican could make a big deal out of it, so why not?

This is all good news for the Vatican!
As for the forest...

He didn't care, because as long as he attended the prayer meeting, it didn't really matter what happened before.

At that point, no one will care about trivial things like Lin Ye being late.

These things are simply not worth discussing compared to what Lin Ye is about to do.

Thinking of all this, Lin Ye slowed down his movements even more.

In Lin Ye's view, the later he arrived, the better the effect would be.

So let those people wait!
……

As the event gradually moved westward, the once bustling prayer ceremony gradually became less lively and intense.

Although the scene was still bustling with noise due to the large number of participants, it was not as lively as it had been in the morning.

As for the stands that the Vatican had meticulously prepared, it was clear that more than half of the people were gone.

The remaining people were scattered around, and compared to the Alliance's Temple of Skills, the audience was indeed pitifully small.

However, this is quite normal, because the Holy See's prayer meetings are only for those in the Holy Light profession, and other professions generally do not pay much attention to the prayer meetings.

It can be said that the greatest role of the Holy See is to maintain the Vatican's right to interpret the Holy Light, and then win people's hearts by distributing some benefits to the Holy Light practitioners. It has basically no other function.

Of course, the Holy See also has another significance: it is comparable to the Alliance's Temple of Skills. It can't be that the Alliance has one while the Holy See doesn't; this is a very typical competitive mindset.

Aside from these, the prayer meeting doesn't really have much other significance.

Therefore, in previous years, not many people paid attention to the Holy Prayer Festival, and many non-Holy Light professionals were completely unaware that such an event existed.

It's fair to say that if it weren't for the news this year that Lin Ye was going to participate in the Prayer Ceremony, probably not so many people would have paid attention to this matter.

For the vast majority of people, the prayer meeting is something that has nothing to do with them and is not worth paying too much attention to.

But if there's excitement to watch, then it's obviously a different story.

As a result, the crowd that entered the venue in the morning to watch the prayer ceremony was indeed unprecedentedly large. It was fortunate that Leung Kam-tim was willing to invest in building a sturdy grandstand, otherwise it might have been crushed by the large influx of spectators.

Time flew by, and it was almost evening. Although the prayer ceremony was still going on, the number of people in the stands was completely different from that in the morning.

Because those who entered in the morning were all there for the forest.

Halfway through, they still hadn't seen Lin Ye, and gradually, the impatient people all left.

By evening, apart from a few fanatical believers, the rest were mostly Vatican staff. Those who had come to watch the spectacle had all left early.

As the archbishop, Leung Kam-tim remained seated in the very center of the stands, maintaining the proper demeanor befitting an archbishop.

Whether others leave or not is none of his concern.

In fact, even if the Lin Ye incident hadn't happened this year, as the archbishop, he would still have been required to attend the entire ceremony.

"Archbishop, these are the reports that have just been collected. Please take a look."

A priest in black robes approached and handed a report to Leung Kam-tim.

Liang Jintian took the report, glanced at it briefly, and then returned it to the black-clad priest.

"Well done. It's time for us to reclaim the high ground in terms of public opinion." Liang Jintian smiled slightly, quite satisfied.

To be honest, he was a little surprised. Lin Ye's reputation had been so high before, even to the point that it was enough to shake the Vatican.

But looking at him today, Lin Ye doesn't seem to be as difficult to deal with as the rumors suggest.

Lin Ye even dug his own hole this time.

Whether he comes now or not, his participation in the prayer meeting is already a recipe for disaster.

Since the news had already spread, and you didn't deny it immediately, everyone naturally assumed that you really were going to participate.

As a result, you are not present at the scene.

If Leung Kam-tim doesn't seize this opportunity to stir up public opinion, then all those decades of his life will have been wasted.

Liang Jintian sighed inwardly. Qin Lu, that old good-for-nothing, should have retired long ago. He was actually being played around by such an unworthy young man. He was utterly useless.

"Ding ding ding..."

Just then, the black-clad priest's phone suddenly rang.

He excused himself, stepped aside, and answered the phone...

"What? He's here? And he's in an Alliance vehicle?" The priest's voice wasn't loud, but Liang Jintian heard every word.

There's no need to guess; the priest was referring to Lin Ye!
This is the only piece of news that has caused Leung Kam-tim's expression to change so far today!
“Archbishop… Archbishop Lin…” The priest quickly hung up the phone and walked to Liang Jintian’s side, wanting to report the situation, but saw Liang Jintian raise his hand to shut him up.

"Something's definitely up to no good... It seems I underestimated this kid."

Liang Jintian murmured.

If Lin Ye doesn't come, then it's almost certain that he's a complete incompetent fool.

However, Lin Ye is acting very strangely, arriving just as the prayer meeting is about to end...

This gave Leung Kam-tim a bad feeling.

I have a feeling that this time I'm the one who got tricked...

No, it should be said that the entire Vatican was the one who was outmaneuvered by Lin Ye!
"Then... should we let them through?" the priest immediately asked.

After pondering for a long time, Liang Jintian finally said, "I need to consult the Holy See's opinion..." (End of Chapter)
