78: Chapter 78 Reorganizing the Divine Kingdom

Fang Chuan's eyes sharpened, and he quickly made a decision in his heart.

"The first step of reform is to establish order!"

What he wanted to do was establish a complete hierarchy of faith and a management system, so that all believers would know what should be done and what should not.

No sooner said than done!

Fang Chuan opened the Divine Kingdom Exchange and began to spend money like water.

"Give me three hundred [Elementary Temples]!"

"Give me one hundred [Central Great Altars]!"

[Elementary Temple]: Rank D building, can accommodate one thousand believers to pray simultaneously, increasing the piety of believers in the area. Price: 100,000 Faith Points.

[Central Great Altar]: Rank C building, can host large-scale sacrificial rituals; through sacrifice, one can obtain the deity's blessing. Price: 500,000 Faith Points.

Fang Chuan didn't even blink and placed the order immediately.

Three hundred temples, thirty million!

One hundred altars, fifty million!

It was a bit expensive, but it had to be spent; otherwise, in the long run, the Divine Kingdom would inevitably fall into chaos.

The next second, the winds and clouds changed within the Divine Kingdom!

In White Marsh City and all the major settlements of believers in the Divine Kingdom, magnificent white temples and huge bluestone altars appeared out of thin air in the sky.

These buildings were like creations from the Void Realm, appearing from nothing and crashing onto the ground with a boom, kicking up clouds of dust.

"Stop fighting, our God has descended a miracle."

The group of believers who were still arguing and fighting immediately stopped and prostrated themselves on the ground in fear.

A sense of awe originating from the depths of their Soul instantly overwhelmed all their selfish thoughts.

Just as all the believers were shocked by this, Fang Chuan's majestic and mighty voice exploded in every believer's mind like rolling thunder.

"My believers, from today on, I will establish a merit-based reward and punishment system!"

"All believers must be classified by the piety of their faith!"

Immediately after, a divine light descended from the sky and landed precisely on the six-star believer, the "Divine Blood Walker" Fingel.

Fingel had just returned to rest after leveling up and was studying an ancient book in his small hut. Feeling this vast Divine Might, he immediately rushed out the door and knelt devoutly on the ground.

"Divine Blood Walker, Fingel!" Fang Chuan's voice rang out again.

"My Lord! Your most loyal servant is here!" Fingel said respectfully.

"I hereby appoint you as the High Priest of the Divine Kingdom, to oversee all matters of faith in the Divine Kingdom! On my behalf, wield divine authority and educate all the people!"

As Fang Chuan's voice fell, a golden stream of Divine Power was injected into Fingel's body. His Aura climbed steadily, a complex flame mark appeared between his eyebrows, and his ordinary cloth robe transformed into a luxurious priest's robe embroidered with golden patterns.

[High Priest of the Divine Kingdom]: Special divine office; can issue divine oracles on behalf of the deity, preside over sacrifices, and possesses jurisdiction and disciplinary power over all believers.

This was also one of the basic abilities of a Divine Lord: the ability to appoint divine officials and let believers manage the Divine Kingdom on their behalf.

After appointing the High Priest, Fang Chuan summoned 500 Goblin Emperors and 500 Goblin Arrow Emperors.

"From among you, I will select five hundred to be appointed as Clan Chiefs, each leading a tribe to assist the High Priest in managing the clans!"

Another thousand rays of divine light descended, and the selected Goblin Emperors and Goblin Arrow Emperors were all incomparably devout.

"Thank you, my Lord!"

High Priest, Clan Chiefs...

Six-star manages five-star, five-star manages four-star, four-star manages three-star and below.

When the population increases, we will subdivide it further.

After finishing all this, Fang Chuan issued the first "Divine Kingdom Code" to the entire Divine Kingdom through Fingel.

The content of the code was simple, but every rule was extremely clear:

1. Every day, one must go to the nearest temple for a daily collective prayer, with the Clan Chief responsible for supervision and assessment.

2. All forms of private fighting and internal friction are prohibited. Offenders will be judged by the High Priest; light offenses will result in being demoted to slaves, and heavy offenses will result in direct erasure.

3. All disputes must be reported to the Clan Chief for adjudication. If there is any dissatisfaction, one may appeal to the High Priest.

4. A central sacrifice will be held once a week. Believers can exchange spoils for merit through sacrifice, and merit can be exchanged for food, equipment, and even the deity's blessing!

Once the code was issued, the entire Divine Kingdom was shaken.

Those goblins and rat-men who were used to being lazy wailed. But looking at the newly built temples and altars, as well as the surging Aura of Fingel and the Clan Chiefs, no one dared to stand up and object.

Divine Might is like a prison, not to be provoked!

The chaos in the Divine Kingdom was forcibly suppressed under Fang Chuan's combination of measures.

But Fang Chuan knew this was only the first step.

Blocking is not as good as guiding; relying solely on high pressure is useless. He had to find a channel for these energetic guys to vent.

"Rules alone are not enough; I have to find them something to do, or they will eventually make trouble again."

Fang Chuan looked at the believers in the Divine Kingdom who had temporarily settled down, knowing clearly in his heart that this peace, forcibly suppressed by Divine Might, would not last long.

Races like goblins and rat-men have chaos and combativeness in their genes. Once they adapt to the new rules and have been repressed for too long, they will inevitably find ways to exploit loopholes.

Rather than blocking them, it is better to give them a vent, a channel to transform their combative nature into combat effectiveness.

"The merit system has been issued; let's set up a wild monster zone for them."

Fang Chuan's gaze fell once again on the dazzling list of goods in the Divine Kingdom Exchange.

He typed the four characters "Void Demonic Beast" directly into the search bar.

Instantly, thousands of strange-looking Demonic Beast cards appeared before his eyes.

[One-Star · Void Rend]: Low-level creatures from Void Realm rifts, brutal in nature, skilled in group attacks. Price: 100 Faith Points / 10,000.

[Two-Star · Corrosive Worm]: Possesses highly toxic mucus that can corrode most metals. Price: 1,000 Faith Points / 10,000.

[Three-Star · Shadow Hound]: Extremely fast, skilled in sneak attacks, a natural assassin. Price: 10,000 Faith Points / 10,000.

These Demonic Beasts were all captured from conquered or destroyed Divine Kingdoms. Because they have strong reproductive abilities and little cultivation value, their prices in the exchange are very cheap.

"That's them!"

A "kind" smile curled the corners of Fang Chuan's mouth.

"Give me 300,000 One-Star Void Rends!"

"Give me 100,000 Two-Star Corrosive Worms!"

"Give me 50,000 Three-Star Shadow Hounds!"

"Four-star... hmm, let's start with 10,000 Bloodthirsty Mad Bats to test the waters."

With a series of orders placed, Faith Points flowed out of Fang Chuan's personal terminal like water.

300,000 one-star, 30 million.

100,000 two-star, 100 million.

50,000 three-star, 500 million.

10,000 four-star, 1 billion.

In total, Fang Chuan spent nearly 2 billion Faith Points in one go!

"The airdrop location will be set in the 'Howling Wilderness' at the northernmost part of the Divine Kingdom."

The Howling Wilderness was a barren land naturally evolved within the Divine Kingdom. Spiritual Qi there was thin, the land was parched, and almost no believers were willing to set foot there. It was perfect to be used as a natural breeding ground for Demonic Beasts.

Divine Kingdom, Howling Wilderness.

Cold winds blew here all year round, and the wind was mixed with sounds like ghosts crying and wolves howling, which was the origin of its name.

Suddenly, the sky above the wilderness tore open huge spatial rifts without warning.

Immediately after, like dumplings being poured, countless Demonic Beasts were dumped out of the rifts!

"Roar!"

"Hiss!"

"Squeak!"

Void Rends with sharp, sickle-like forelimbs, Corrosive Worms dripping with green venom, and swarms of crimson-eyed Bloodthirsty Mad Bats...

Various hideous-looking and violent-Aura Demonic Beasts crashed onto the wilderness, covering the sky and earth.

They were a bit confused at first, but soon, the instinct for bloodlust took the upper hand.

The nearby Demonic Beasts began to crazily bite and attack each other, and the entire Howling Wilderness instantly turned into a bloody Shura field.

In just a few minutes, nearly 500,000 Void Demonic Beasts crashed down like a black tsunami, literally turning this wilderness into a meat grinder!

This terrifying scene was naturally seen by the believers in the Divine Kingdom.

Those Goblin tribes near the north, looking at the Evil Qi soaring into the sky and the terrifying roars vaguely heard, immediately caused a commotion.

Panic spread rapidly among the believers like a plague.

Just when all the believers thought disaster was imminent, Fang Chuan's majestic voice rang through the Divine Kingdom again.

"My believers, do not panic!"

"The northern wilderness is the Trial Grounds I have prepared for you!"

"From today on, all believers can form teams to go to the wilderness and hunt Demonic Beasts!"

"The corpses of the Demonic Beasts are the spoils you offer as sacrifice! One Demonic Beast head can be exchanged for ten merit points! One complete Demonic Beast corpse can be exchanged for one hundred merit points!"

"Merit can be exchanged at any temple for everything you need! Food, weapons, armor! Even... my Divine Power blessing!"

"Risk and opportunity coexist!"

"Cowards rot in comfort, warriors live forever in blood and fire!"

Fang Chuan's voice was like a devil's Whisper, full of temptation.

"Go, my believers! Use your Courage and sharp claws to open up a new world for me, and for yourselves!"

"Glory belongs to the brave!"

Driven by their most primitive desires, countless believers' eyes turned red. One by one, they picked up their simple weapons, spontaneously formed teams, and rushed towards the northern Howling Wilderness, howling.

Watching this scene, Fang Chuan nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good, a race without bloodiness has no future."

He knew that before long, these million-plus believers would be screened and eliminated in this bloody meat grinder, and those who finally survived would be the true elite!

However, he also discovered a new problem.

"There are still too few management personnel."

With over a million believers in the entire Divine Kingdom, relying solely on one Fingel and five hundred Clan Chiefs was simply not enough. The daily maintenance of the temples and the statistics and distribution of merit all required a large number of personnel.

"It seems I need to promote another batch of middle-level cadres."

Fang Chuan's gaze swept across the believers and quickly locked onto a batch of targets.

Those believers who were Rank 30 or above and had already synthesized to three-star numbered over 150,000. They had a certain level of strength, and their intelligence was higher than ordinary believers.

"You are it."

Fang Chuan issued a divine oracle again, mobilizing over 30,000 believers from these 150,000+ three-star believers, appointing them as deacons and priests of various temples, as well as centurions and chiliarchs under the Clan Chiefs, responsible for specific management affairs.

With these 30,000+ middle-level managers in place, the management structure of the entire Divine Kingdom was finally completely established and began to operate in an orderly manner.

"Next, it's just waiting for these guys to evolve on their own."

He believed that under this "Gu" raising mode, in less than a month, his Divine Kingdom army's strength would usher in a qualitative leap.
