"Boss!"

Song Yi called out to Lin Ye, somewhat excited.

The others also stood up, looking at Lin Ye with reverence, including some who were even older than him.

Unlike the Temple of Skills, the Holy Prayer Festival has no age limit. As long as you are a second-tier Holy Light class and have never received any reward from the Holy Prayer Festival, you can participate in the Holy Prayer Festival as long as you wish.

This results in a very lively scene every year when the prayer ceremony begins.

Because the vast majority of professionals in the professional group are those who have completed their second job advancement.

This level of professionals accounts for nearly half of the active professional population, making up an absolutely enormous number.

These measures taken by the Vatican are simply aimed at maximizing the influence of the Holy See, since the more people participate, the greater the influence will be.

Therefore, it's not surprising that age restrictions have been lifted.

This is fundamentally different from the Alliance's establishment of the Temple of Skills, which aims to cultivate more human elites.

The Vatican holds prayer meetings for two reasons: firstly, to rival the Alliance's Temple of Skills, and secondly, to increase its own influence.

Despite the efforts of the Vatican over the years, its influence has always been far less than that of the Temple of Skills, limited by the audience of the Holy See.

This year, thanks to Lin Ye's participation, the popularity of the Prayer Festival has reached an unprecedented level.

Many people who were previously unaware of the existence of the Holy See now know that the Vatican has such an event.

Now, Lin Ye's entry has quickly attracted the attention of many other worshippers.

"It's Lin Ye..."

"You're only arriving now?"

"No wonder there were so many more people in the stands all of a sudden."

The worshippers were whispering amongst themselves, and as they watched Lin Ye walk toward the venue, they tactfully made way for him.

As fellow Holy Light practitioners, they held Lin Ye in high esteem.

Because they know best just how incredible everything Lin Ye has done is.

As more and more people filled the stands, the atmosphere in the venue became lively once again.

Clearly, these people had all come after hearing the news, wanting to witness Lin Ye's performance at the prayer meeting, and naturally, there were also some who just wanted to watch the spectacle.

Many people wanted to see what Lin Ye would cause at the prayer meeting.

They didn't believe that Lin Ye would be so obedient as to let the Vatican make up whatever they wanted about this matter; it didn't fit Lin Ye's image of never having suffered a loss.

It should be noted that many demons joined forces to fight him, but in the end, they all suffered heavy losses.

If the Vatican wants to take advantage of Lin Ye, the final outcome may not be as rosy as the Vatican imagines.

But how Lin Ye will break this deadlock is what these busybodies are most concerned about.

As for the content of the prayer meeting, not many people paid attention to it at all. In fact, many people only learned about it in the last few days.

"Please be quiet."

Just then, a black-clad priest appeared on the high platform of the venue. He was the same deacon who had previously let Lin Ye pass outside.

The noise in the arena instantly fell silent. Putting everything else aside, the authority of the Papacy was still considerable, and in the minds of many, the positions of the Papacy's black-robed priests and deacons were already at the pinnacle of power.

Now that people like this are telling them to be quiet, they naturally don't dare to utter a sound, and they all immediately fall silent.

"Many people must have come here to watch the priest Lin Ye pray for holiness, so let Lin Ye go first," the deacon said, looking at Lin Ye.

Upon hearing this, the audience members, like cats smelling fish, widened their eyes and pricked up their ears, knowing that a good show was about to begin.

As for Lin Ye in the venue, he just smiled upon hearing this and then said, "No need. I arrived last, so naturally I should go on stage last. I don't want this privilege."

After a pause, Lin Ye added, "Besides, if I go first, it wouldn't be fair to the other prayer bearers, so I refuse."

The deacon's face was slightly cold, but he wasn't too surprised by Lin Ye's refusal.

This is normal.

The deacon's statement was simply an attempt to create the impression that the Vatican could arbitrarily arrange Lin Ye's affairs before the prayer ceremony.

Unless Lin Ye is a complete idiot, he won't agree.

"Since that's the case, then so be it." The steward withdrew, and Lin Ye, unwilling to accept the arrangement, preferred to wait downstairs rather than accept it.

In any case, it all boils down to accepting the Vatican's arrangements or abiding by its rules.

It all depends on how you guide public opinion. If you find the right angle, you can still win.

Lin Ye didn't say anything more, but just sat quietly to the side, closing his eyes to rest.

Beside him, a large number of people had already gathered, including Yuan Danqing and Song Yi, as well as some people who had received Lin Ye's kindness in the past.

At this moment, they surrounded Lin Ye like stars surrounding the moon.

As the prayer ceremony progressed, those who prayed in front of the forest all received their prayer rewards.

Strangely, the rewards these worshippers received almost always far exceeded their initial expectations.

While far from being top-tier, these rewards are indeed far more valuable than imagined for these prayer recipients who have waited until now to take the stage.

After all, if they were strong enough, they wouldn't have had to wait until now to perform the prayer ceremony.

Those with great strength had already completed their prayers and left the scene by morning, so how could they possibly have stayed until now?

Upon receiving such a reward, the worshippers were so excited that they repeatedly kissed the ground of the venue, constantly praising the Holy Light and the generosity of the Vatican.

"No wonder these guys made it to the end..." Song Yi muttered to himself, speechless, as he looked at the excited guys.

Anyone with eyes can see that the real reason they received such a great reward is because Lin Ye came.

With so many eyes watching, giving these people even a small favor would be enough to make them weep with gratitude in front of all the onlookers.

What a great deal!
These guys just couldn't see through that, and kept thanking the Holy Light and the Church.

"Stop talking, it's our turn."

Lin Ye patted Song Yi on the shoulder and stood up.

At that moment, all eyes were fixed on Lin Ye. (End of Chapter)
