Chapter 737 - 93: Despicable Half God
"Mike."
"My lord?"
"From now on, you are the High Priest of the All Beings Sect, responsible for recruiting followers." Su Changxing patted Mike on the shoulder and said earnestly.
"Thank you, my lord." Mike said excitedly, tears glistening in his eyes, feeling that this was an immense blessing from Su Changxing, a fortune acquired over generations.
"I have high expectations for you."
"I will surely not disappoint your expectations, bringing glory to the All Beings Sect."
Su Changxing stood next to the statue, thought for a moment, and said, "As for the fact that I am a Divine Spirit, it’s enough for you to know, don’t tell anyone else."
"You can just call me the Great Sect Leader in normal times, as I am also the Great Sect Leader of the All Beings Sect."
"Great Sect Leader!"
"Great Sect Leader!"
These devout believers were extraordinarily obedient, taking Su Changxing’s words as truth without a hint of doubt.
"For the believers of the All Beings Sect, I have no other requirements, just that you need to pray before this statue every day." Su Changxing emphasized.
This is the most important thing.
Only by praying here can they contribute faith, allowing his Mysteriousness to increase.
"The doctrine of our All Beings Sect is simple as well, believe in me and gain eternal life, oppose me and receive eternal punishment."
"Apart from this, there are probably no other restrictions."
Su Changxing merely wished to acquire faith through this and did not intend to correct the morality, right or wrong, of humanity.
In his view, it was of little meaning, when everything meets its end, it no longer matters.
[Created the All Beings Sect, acquired the title "Despicable Half god"]
[Despicable Half god: You are a prude, a thief of faith and believers, a coward who dares not face the Divine Spirit. But you ultimately found a path leading to Divine Spirits, regardless of whether it’s correct, whether it leads to the goal, you stand above the masses.]
"Despicable Half god?"
Su Changxing looked at the pop-up message on his phone, frowned, and didn’t expect the Doomsday Game to give him such a title.
His evaluation was undeserved.
"The means are always part of the process, the objective is the outcome; for an Evil God, using any despicable means should not be deemed despicable."
Su Changxing was quite confident in this and did not feel any association between himself and the word despicable.
"Since I established a sect, there should also be a uniform, otherwise it would look strange."
He thought, feeling that such aspects could influence the believers’ faith, or perhaps increase their loyalty to the church.
"Otherwise, why would all those monks shave their heads and wear similar attire?"
This was a simple matter for him; in the Pocket Galaxy, items could be mass-produced swiftly.
He thought briefly and then created a set of black and white loose uniforms in the Pocket Galaxy.
As for why they weren’t tight-fitting, it was simply because measuring each person’s size was too bothersome, looser clothing was more convenient.
"These are the church uniforms; distribute them to everyone, every believer must wear them."
Su Changxing took out a large pile of clothes from the Pocket Galaxy and handed them to a chubby believer nearby.
"Yes, Great Sect Leader!" The chubby believer was thrilled when Su Changxing spoke to him, taking the black and white uniforms and distributing them one by one.
Though these uniforms were made casually by Su Changxing, they looked simple yet grand, with gold patterns on the edges, and were Rank C Crown Mysterious Items, warm in winter and cool in summer, resistant to dirt and damage.
Thinking about the Church of the Gods having such a considerate Divine Spirit, Su Changxing was involuntarily moved.
Would other churches’ Divine Spirits be so considerate?
They probably wouldn’t even ask.
After disappearing for a thousand years, they’d find it strange why there were no believers left upon return.
To date, Su Changxing had no favorable impressions of these so-called Divine Spirits, but if given the chance to become one of them, he likely wouldn’t refuse.
The end point of the Extraordinary is probably a Divine Spirit.
He thought this wasn’t much different from Cultivating Immortality, as the ultimate goal of Cultivators seemed to be Immortal Ascension.
What is an Immortal?
Probably also a category of Divine Spirits.
The so-called Buddha probably counts as a type of Divine Spirit as well.
One other thing he could be sure of.
He had thoroughly offended the Divine Spirit named Karis, not only stealing faith but also poaching believers and establishing his own sect.
He was open-minded about it, if he couldn’t stay in this world, he would go to another place, after all, he was a Player.
Before that, he must gather all the fragments of the passage, otherwise, it won’t be easy to leave.
Then.
After getting Su Changxing’s approval, Mike began to guide others into becoming believers in the abandoned factory.
This process was also very smooth. As soon as Mike stood there, everyone gathered around eagerly.
Joining the All Beings Sect had no other benefit but curing the plague.
Yes, it could only cure the plague.
This was a lifeline. The plague was like a blade hanging over their necks, ready to drop at any time, eventually leading to death.
Mike also harbored some personal motives and first had his daughter join the All Beings Sect, "Daughter, join the All Beings Sect with me and follow the Great Sect Leader; the future is bright."
Eliza felt everything was happening too quickly. Her father inexplicably attained the position of a High Priest.
However, she wasn’t opposed to it since Su Changxing had saved them and avenged them by killing Chad.
"No problem, but is there anything to watch out for as a believer in the All Beings Sect? Any taboos, for example?"
Mike paused for a moment and then said, "It seems there aren’t any taboos. You just need to wear this garment and pray every day."
Eliza put on the large garment and found it quite comfortable, "That’s quite easy, unlike those followers of the Upper Teaching who have to recite complex scriptures every day."
Mike unceremoniously educated his thoughtless daughter, "How can you treat this as a task? You should do it sincerely with devotion in mind..."
He rambled on, leaving the other prospective members of the All Beings Sect in bewilderment.
They initially thought Mike was joining the All Beings Sect just to gain benefits, but now it seemed there was some substance to it.
...
Kasmin found it strange to see these uniformly dressed believers, unsure where Su Changxing got these clothes from.
What was even stranger was that joining the so-called All Beings Sect seemed to have no constraints, with the only change being an extra piece of clothing indicating their membership.
"What position do you hold in the All Beings Sect?" Kasmin asked as Su Changxing walked over.
Su Changxing smiled, "Great Sect Leader."
Nobu exclaimed, "As expected of you, being able to become the Great Sect Leader."
Kasmin glanced at Nobu, "He founded this sect, so of course, he’s the Great Sect Leader."
Nobu smiled and logically stated, "Can an average person establish a church? Certainly not, only someone as favored as him can create one."
Pointing a finger at Nobu, Su Changxing laughed, "Your flattery is too blatant. Are you interested in joining the All Beings Association? I can arrange a good position for you."
Nobu glanced at the believers in black and white robes and quickly said, "I’m willing to serve you."
He also noticed the extraordinary nature of this church, with everyone showing great respect towards Su Changxing, unlike a hastily formed congregation.
Su Changxing casually tossed a garment to him, "Put it on, and you’ll be the High Priest of the All Beings Sect."
High Priest?
Unexpectedly, he could attain such a seemingly good position and hastily donned the robe, "What does the High Priest mainly do?"
Nobu was naturally not tall, and with him being thinner, the robe appeared too large on him, looking somewhat comical.
"The main responsibility is recruiting believers; the All Beings Sect now needs a large number of followers, so the recruitment work at the fishing village is yours."
Su Changxing, looking like a hands-off leader, thought it best to train these two High Priests so he, as the Great Sect Leader, wouldn’t have to do anything.
If the All Beings Sect could operate independently without his management, just like other churches, he would still receive a steady stream of faith even if he left this world.
This point is crucial.
Sustainable development is the key.
He learned from the old City Lord of Thundercloud City that for an Extraordinary reaching Tier Five, further advancement becomes very challenging, with many scattered players stuck at this level.
However, Tier Five Extraordinary in most worlds are rulers, having reached the pinnacle of power.
After putting on the robe, Nobu asked, "What reason should I use to recruit followers?"
"Tell the people in the village that our All Beings Sect can cure the plague, and those who want to live should come with you to the abandoned factory," Su Changxing instructed.
After listening, Nobu confidently said, "They will definitely all follow me here."
"Take some followers with you, and bring as many as you can; there’s no rush."
Nobu then worriedly said, "There are often Rune Warriors patrolling near the riverbank, I’m worried..."
Su Changxing felt this concern was necessary, even though he had already dealt with two Rune Warriors.
But if they encounter any more, and if people die—those who die would be believers of the All Beings Sect—and believers provide faith, which can be converted into Mysteriousness.
So, deaths are a significant loss.
"Later, I’ll go with you and clear out the Rune Warriors nearby. Just focus on recruiting believers."
Kasmin, listening to their conversation, interjected, "What about me?"
Su Changxing looked at Kasmin with a curious gaze, "You want to join the All Beings Sect too?"
