Looking at so many Holy Light Crystals, Lin Ye couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.
In fact, the Church Court's possession of a large number of Holy Light Crystals has never been a secret among the Professionals.
But Lin Ye truly didn't anticipate that the Church Court had accumulated Holy Light Crystals to such an extent. Compared to the current consumption on the market, these Holy Light Crystals are enough to satisfy the demand for the next twenty to thirty years.
And this was merely the amount Lin Ye casually gathered within the City of Light, perhaps not even a third of the total.
Considering this, the Holy Light Crystals hoarded by the Church Court might be enough to support humanity's entire consumption for a hundred years.
Even if all the needs of the wounded were fully met, these Crystals would likely suffice for about ten years.
Thinking about this, Lin Ye couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly.
Honestly, if the Church Court didn't control the release of the Holy Light Crystals, many Professionals wouldn't be forced to end their careers due to injuries; they could return to the battlefield to fight demons.
If such news got out, the Church Court would likely face a severe reputational crisis.
Of course, Lin Ye didn't intend to do that.
Because Lin Ye himself also had a batch of Holy Light Crystals at the moment.
However, his intention wasn't to use this batch of crystals for profit, as money now holds little significance for Lin Ye.
After all, the things that money can buy no longer hold much value for Lin Ye.
For instance, Demon God's Supreme Treasure or Abyssal Origin—these things can't be measured with money.
What Lin Ye intended was to use the Holy Light Crystals to establish a reward system within the Holy Flame Sect.
In this way, Lin Ye could exploit the Church Court's long-standing control over the price of Holy Light Crystals...
In the previous life, as one of the top officials of the Church Court, Lin Ye was well aware of their manipulative techniques to control the price of Crystals.
Sometimes, in order to inflate the prices, they would not only restrict the number of Crystals released but also secretly purchase large quantities of Holy Light Crystals.
This kind of operation becomes especially frequent whenever the Alliance suffers significant casualties.
It even gave rise to commodities like 'Holy Light Scroll,' which is essentially buying a paper-based 'Holy Light Crystal' from the Church Court, exchangeable for actual Holy Light Crystals along with interest within a specified period.
In essence, if the Church Court were likened to a country, it would be akin to borrowing money all over and paying back with its own currency, exploiting this risk-free method to reap gains worldwide.
Even lending amounts far exceeding its capacity...
If implemented well, Lin Ye could gradually empty the Church Court's foundation using this technique.
Of course, Lin Ye didn't understand these intricacies.
However, within the Alliance, there are capable economic experts that Lin Ye could entirely rely on to carry out these operations.
Regarding Holy Light Crystals, it's likely that these experts have never fought such a financially favorable battle.
Thinking about this, Lin Ye couldn't help but reveal a malicious smile.
He truly wanted to see what expressions the Church Court would have when faced with a crowd redeeming their 'Holy Light Scrolls.'
Looking around, indeed, the current Holy Flame Domain lacked much and had little to offer.
Lin Ye remained optimistic, as this was just the beginning, and given enough time, the domain could undoubtedly be built properly.
At this moment, Lin Ye seemed to sense something and raised his brows slightly.
"It should be Elder Liu. I'll go out to meet him!"
With that, Lin Ye immediately vanished on the spot, reappearing in a luxurious suite within Shenzhen.
The moment Lin Ye appeared in the living room, he saw a tall man standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, hands behind his back, overlooking the nightscape of Shenzhen.
"Lin Ye greets Alliance Leader Liu!"
Lin Ye slightly bowed with respect.
He sincerely respected Liu Tianyuan, not just for his contributions to humanity but also for gifting Lin Ye the Domain Stone—a gesture of immense favor.
It was akin to handing over his entire life's cultivation to Lin Ye.
Only the strongest can condense Domain Stones, used to construct their domains.
Rumor has it, the use of Domain Stones is related to whether the strongest can enter the ultimate Origin Realm.
By giving Lin Ye the Domain Stone, Liu Tianyuan had essentially announced his abandonment of efforts to reach the Origin Level.
"You've done well; the Domain Stone in your hands has truly realized its intended value."
Liu Tianyuan turned, speaking with evident satisfaction.
"Elder exaggerates; if not for your intervention with those old folks at the Holy Core, I wouldn't have successfully separated the Holy Flame so smoothly."
Lin Ye replied.
Although Liu Tianyuan never showed up, he helped Lin Ye fend off interference when those at the Holy Core attempted to stop Lin Ye from returning to the City of Light.
This action gave Lin Ye the time and space needed to operate, making it much easier to accomplish the mission.
Yet Liu Tianyuan seemed unconcerned with these matters, as he walked over to the sofa and sat down directly.
"I used to occasionally stay in this room; now I find myself as a guest," he said, rare amusement in his tone.
Lin Ye scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.
He hadn't anticipated that the former occupant of this room was indeed the person in front of him!
But it made sense; with his status, living in such a room was entirely appropriate, even more so.
"Speaking of which, I acquired a large batch of Holy Light Crystals in the City of Light, about ten million in total," Lin Ye noted.
This visibly surprised Liu Tianyuan.
"So many?" He clearly hadn't expected Lin Ye to have the spare capacity to collect so many Holy Light Crystals while condensing the domain!
Market circulation of Holy Light Crystals is essentially controlled by the Church Court at a threshold of roughly a thousand.
Other transactions primarily involved the use of Holy Light Scrolls...
The Alliance spends significant sums annually on purchasing Holy Light Scrolls to exchange for Holy Light Crystals from the Church Court.
Occasionally, it would even fall prey to the Church Court's manipulation in a harvest.
Now, Lin Ye informed him about taking away a genuine volume of ten million Holy Light Crystals from the Church Court!
This news is colossal for the Alliance!
