Please continue reading on ΒOXΝʘVEL.ϹΟM .

It had been a long time since Lin Zhen had visited the Dimensional Universe forum, so he decided to open it.

Upon opening the forum, Lin Zhen was surprised to find a pinned post at the top, slandering him.

In recent days, the people of Nan Liang had been calling for rewards for Lin Zhen, and many warm-hearted people listed several rewards, hoping that the royal family would reward their hero who had brought honor to their nation.

However, just when the calls reached their peak, the post slandering him was updated.

Being pinned at the top of the forum indicated that it represented the intentions of the royal family or, more specifically, Emperor Liang Zhihuan.

“Who is Lin Zhen?!”

The post was huge, with an eye-catching title and even more explosive content.

First, the post recounted that Lin Zhen came from the New World and had plundered wealth by force after entering the Original World, even suppressing his competition in the Xianle County’s medicinal materials market.

As for why a poor boy from the New World would know alchemy, there was an explanation provided in the post.

Lin Zhen was not actually Lin Zhen, but rather the notorious scoundrel World King, Hua Hua Taisui, who had secretly filmed the Crown Princess bathing in the Nan Liang Imperial Palace!

Moreover, the post provided detailed information that proved the fact that Lin Zhen was Hua Hua Taisui.

It even involved the Crown Princess shooting a silver needle into Hua Hua Taisui’s body and later traveling to the Divine Punishment Star personally to help him get rid of the silver needle.

In this process, Lin Zhen had been described as a playboy who deceived women, using various methods to deceive the Crown Princess, even turning black into white and causing her to be trapped by love.

After all, when a woman’s body is seen by someone, even if that person is bad, they would have some different feelings towards them; let alone the Crown Princess, who was inexperienced and easily deceived by experts like Lin Zhen.

In the end, the Crown Princess even suffered punishment from her sect, and her mind was now muddled, all thanks to Lin Zhen.

It is important to know that Crown Princess Ning Qingxuan was the pride of the Nan Liang people. Although Nan Liang might be inferior to other countries in many aspects, when it came to women, Crown Princess Ning Qingxuan was the absolute best. Many neighboring countries had greater national power than Nan Liang, but their best women belonged to Nan Liang, which was the greatest pride of the Nan Liang people.

Lin Zhen’s deception of Ning Qingxuan had already disgusted many people.

Seeing this, Lin Zhen couldn’t help but be amazed; to deal with him, Liang Zhihuan was willing to sacrifice his own dignity, even going so far as to admit to wearing a green hat. The determination and boldness demonstrated by an emperor doing so were evident.

After arousing people’s disgust, there was another explosive news item questioning whether Lin Zhen could represent Nan Liang.

Lin Zhen’s spot came from the Alchemist Guild, not from the Nan Liang royal family’s hand.

More importantly, Lin Zhen was actually a fugitive!

Furthermore, the post listed the fact that Lin Zhen had killed the president of the Medicinal Materials Guild, Gu Yunting, in Xianle County. The evidence was complete and linked together, leaving no room for rebuttal. Even the County Governor of Xianle County personally testified on the matter.

The County Governor released the news, saying that many pieces of evidence were personally found by the Crown Prince Liang Chen himself.

As a fugitive, Lin Zhen shouldn’t have participated in various activities; his original status should have been that of a prisoner!

Thus, the opinion of the post believed that Lin Zhen did not deserve to represent the Nan Liang royal family, regardless of how good his accomplishments were!

The post even mentioned that after joining the Nan Liang Alchemist Guild, Lin Zhen had suppressed his peers, expelling an elder and a steward from the guild. Elder Wang and Steward Feng had personally stepped forward to testify, accusing Lin Zhen of his atrocities with tear-filled eyes.

It was evident how meticulous the preparations of the royal family were in making sure that Lin Zhen could not regain his footing.

The post ended there, thoroughly causing a sensation in Nan Liang.

For a time, a majority of people in the Dimensional Universe turned against Lin Zhen.

The most important of which was Lin Zhen deceiving the Crown Princess’s feelings and causing her to lose her memory and become mentally unclear now.

Additionally, it was the identity of a fugitive that made people disdainful.

Of course, some people still supported Lin Zhen, believing that these issues were not comparable to the achievements he had made and should not be held against him.

However, this viewpoint could not stand. If they supported Lin Zhen, wouldn’t it be tantamount to Nan Liang facing the fact of the queen’s remarriage and the fugitive’s non-pursuit?

The matter of the fugitive could still be explained, but if Ning Qingxuan chose to leave with another man, that would be something many people couldn’t accept.

A wave of online backlash ensued, and those who had previously sung praises of Lin Zhen changed their tune, demanding severe punishment for him, even imprisoning him or calling for his execution.

As for the people’s demands, the royal family’s response was that they were urgently studying the matter and would announce the results as quickly as possible. They also requested the netizens to supervise and prevent Lin Zhen from escaping.

All teleportation arrays within Nan Liang had stopped providing services to Lin Zhen, and any sighting of him should be reported immediately.

After all, Lin Zhen had previously been staying in an inn, and no one knew where he went. Thus, the current Lin Zhen could be considered the most wanted fugitive in Nan Liang history.

On the forum, there was even a post telling the people not to be overly afraid of Lin Zhen’s martial force. His impressive performance on the Divine Punishment Star was due to his Star Energy Transfer and elixirs. Now, without the ability to use these two moves, his strength was only equivalent to that of a slightly stronger World King.

The post has a point; with nine million Star Power, Lin Zhen is only a World King Powerhouse, not at the top yet.

Moreover, without obtaining the Snow Lotus and the Immortal Spiritual Body, Lin Zhen’s Star Power was only seven million.

This was basically telling the public not to be polite when they saw Lin Zhen; they could rest assured and attack him. Although the result of the royal research was not out yet, Lin Zhen was effectively on the wanted list.

Upon reading this, Lin Zhen let out a cold sneer.

Liang Zhihuan played a good game; this move was ruthless enough.

Now that Ning Qingxuan had lost her memory and was still on her way back, he wanted to reverse the facts completely, forcing Lin Zhen’s identity to change, positioning him as Hua Hua Taisui, who had committed numerous crimes before he became Lin Zhen and continued to be persistent in his criminal ways.

Even if Ning Qingxuan came back later, the news she would see was that she had been deceived by Lin Zhen.

With Ning Qingxuan’s temperament, she might come to resent Lin Zhen, just as she had initially hated Hua Hua Taisui.

However, Lin Zhen had to admit that Liang Zhihuan’s approach was effective, at least making him lose his footing in Nan Liang.

“Very well, Liang Zhihuan, you are forcing me!”

A cold and ruthless glint appeared in Lin Zhen’s eyes. Since this was the case, he would not just sit and wait for death.

He began to silently think about what he should do.

First of all, Lin Zhen thought he should restore Ning Qingxuan’s memory. The indifferent look Ning Qingxuan had given him on Divine Punishment Star was unforgettable, and he didn’t want Xuan’er to become like that.

To restore her memory, he would need to understand what exactly the Qingye Sect had done to Ning Qingxuan so that he could treat it accordingly.

If it were someone else, it would be an incredibly difficult task, but as an Alchemist, there were ways to restore memory to those who had lost it, as long as the crux of the problem was found.

Lin Zhen immediately began to look up information on the Qingye Sect.

The Qingye Sect was not a secretive sect but a pillar of Nan Liang. It could be said that half of Nan Liang’s imperial power was supported by the Qingye Sect.

Many important official positions were held by members of the Qingye Sect.

With Lin Zhen’s authority as the Great Elder of the Alchemist Guild, although the public sentiment against him was extremely unfavorable, the Guild had not reduced his authority, allowing him to access a lot of information still.

“Hmmm…found it, Qingye Sect’s secret technique, Soul Anchoring Skill! Soul Chasing Bell! It’s this!”

Lin Zhen quickly found the relevant information but was told he lacked the necessary permission when he tried to read further.

“What’s going on? Even with my authority as the Great Elder of the Alchemist Guild, I’m not allowed to access this information?”

The system soon provided a list of criteria: Nan Liang citizenship, including Emperor, Seventh-grade Alchemist, Seventh-grade Artifact Refiner, Three Flowers Realm Martial Artist, the Supreme Account of the Bank of the Universe, and the title of Dimensional Arena King…

Only one of these qualifications would be sufficient to access the information about Soul Anchoring Skill and Soul Chasing Bell.

Furthermore, this information was in video format, and only personal experience could reveal the secret. Others’ descriptions would be useless, ensuring its absolute secrecy.

Seeing the list of titles, Lin Zhen closed his eyes slightly.

Emperor was out of the question, as was a Seventh-grade Artifact Refiner. Becoming a Three Flowers Realm Martial Artist in a short period was also unlikely.

Regarding the so-called Three Flowers Realm, it was above Longevity. A Martial Artist with three flowers condensed in their spirit and body would have reached the limit of their potential. Every Three Flowers Warrior was a powerful figure, and the essential prerequisite for achieving this realm was to possess a Divine Body. Without a Divine Body, Longevity would be the limit.

After breaking through Longevity, Ning Qingxuan became a Three Flowers Warrior. Only at this realm could she undertake the feat of pushing a planet to collide with the barrier of a Deity.

Lin Zhen was only at the peak of the Domain King realm, which was too far from the Three Flowers Realm.

The Supreme Account of the Bank of the Universe was difficult to obtain as well, requiring one to have ten trillion in personal assets to apply. Lin Zhen didn’t know how many years it would take him to reach that target.

Being a Dimensional Arena King was possible only for those above Longevity, which Lin Zhen couldn’t achieve either.

The only possibility, the hopeful option, was to become a Seventh-grade Alchemist.

“I am currently at the peak of the Sixth grade. I’m only one step away from achieving the Seventh grade. But at the moment, I’m just missing the understanding. If I can create an elixir that rivals Ancient Alchemy Recipes, I could become a Seventh-grade Alchemist.”

Honestly, becoming a Seventh-grade Alchemist was extremely difficult. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be at the same level as Three Flowers Realm Martial Artists. It was only because Lin Zhen possessed the talent of the Black Hole Beast, capable of stripping memories from others, that he managed to reach the Sixth-grade peak in just a few decades.

“Which direction should I start from?”

Lin Zhen was pondering on the bed in an inn when a message came in from his Dimensional Universe.

Lin Zhen had only a few friends in the Dimensional Universe, most of whom were Alchemists. He thought it would be one of them, but when he looked, the person who sent the message was Liang Chen, of all people!

In the Dimensional Universe, Liang Chen furiously said to Lin Zhen: “Lin Zhen! You bastard! How dare you seduce my mother! I want to duel with you! Tell me your address; I’m going to fight you!”
