In the year 37671 of the Calendar of the Gods, Leylin took five thousand pirates and captured Bankaz Island with a population of more than two million, destroyed the Zacatecaz Empire, and established his own country.
At the same time, he himself was promoted to [Demigod], stepping into the upper game threshold of the world of the gods.
At this time, everyone was surprised to find that Leylin, who had established such an astonishing feat, was still just 26 years old, but he had already reached a height that needed to be looked up to.
Near the new royal capital named 'Faulan', many elite [Devil Hunters] and indigenous cavalry are surrounding a team of luxurious carriages for inspection.
On the flags of the convoy and cavalry is the giant snake logo of the empire, representing the authority of the royal family.
"Sweeping out the disease, and starting the reclamation in spring, it seems to be doing pretty well!"
At this moment, Leylin opened the car window and looked at the blue field ridges outside, with a hint of satisfaction appearing on his face.
While the other beautiful native maids and the saint Barbara were sitting on their knees, their eyes couldn't hide their passion.
The empire must be ruled by the blood of the gods, this is the purpose preached by Leylin's Serpent Church.
And in order to better consolidate the foundation, it is best for the Son of God to carry the blood of the natives. Therefore, almost after the founding of the country, the entire Bankes Island selected twenty of the most pure and beautiful, and had the noblest Sending high-quality girls into the palace, this activity is far from stopping.
For this, Leylin has always been open to anyone who comes, anyway, the aesthetics are more in line with his taste.
And this trip is a manifestation of the emperor's promotion of strength and muscle display to the entire empire, and it also represents a certain degree of wooing.
After visiting the entire Bankoz Island, Leylin also had a deeper understanding of the specific situation on the island.
At the same time, the strength and majesty of the empire are deeply imprinted in the hearts of all the natives.
"The land here is the most fertile, and it is near the royal capital. It is understandable to have such achievements..."
Barbara's eyes flashed, and she spoke beside her.
"It's not bad to have this insight, especially this kind of careful thinking..."
Leylin was well aware of the tricks of the believers, and when he heard the words, he felt a little ridiculous.
However, this is also part of the way of faith, so Leylin couldn't help but think about it carefully.
"According to this momentum, this year's famine should be able to survive without any danger..."
After touring the entire country, Leylin's mood improved a lot. Although the previous plague brought a great blow to the social order, various production activities are slowly recovering, thanks to the previous Zacatecaz empire. Accumulated, the entire emerging empire is constantly developing in a better direction.
"Measuring the strength of an empire is nothing more than population, agriculture, economy, and military, and finally belief..."
Leylin rubbed his chin: "In terms of military affairs, the central government only maintains a standing army of 50,000, and it is already the undisputed number one force on Bankes Island, which has a total population of just over 900,000. On the contrary, it is a trouble... "
"Agriculture and the economy are devastated. Recovery is not a matter of a day or two. The most important thing is faith..."
At this time, the totem spirit and nature spirit of the entire Bankz Island had been dealt a devastating blow by Leylin, and those who were unwilling to surrender were directly exterminated, even the tribe was the same.
However, a part of the natural spirits headed by the demigod golden giant scorpion joined Leylin at this time, and also occupied part of the faith in the empire.
Leylin was completely happy with this. After all, he now had the majority of power, and 80% of the faith in the entire empire was in his hands, and the rest of the natural spirits who took refuge in him could only carve up the remaining 20%.
Moreover, due to his true [half-god] nature, none of the priests and divine arts under his command can be compared with these indigenous gods. He has a huge advantage in the competition, so he is naturally not afraid to compete with the other party.
I'm afraid that in the end, the beliefs of these gods will be further squeezed, and in the end they can only rely on him firmly.
"In terms of imperial rule, those original pirates have already given generous rewards, as well as land and slaves, as well as the status of nobles. Unfortunately, compared with the original chieftains and nobles on Bankaz Island, the number is still too small..."
Leylin shook his head.
In terms of the status of a ruler, the number of natives in the current empire is astonishing, but there are only less than 5,000 outsiders who really follow his leader! Like the terrifying gap between a drop of water and a lake.
Leylin had no doubts that once he did nothing, within thirty years, the grassroots ruling power of the entire empire would inevitably fall into the hands of the natives, and outsiders like them could only be actively or passively integrated.
If you want to really change this, you must emigrate and slaughter in parallel, transplant mainlanders from Faolan Island, and massacre the aborigines in order to maintain the stability of your own rule!
It's a pity that Leylin's identity at this time is not just a simple ruler, or in other words, the identity of a god is the premise of his first consideration!
Therefore, a large number of massacres and reducing the number of natives will only lead to a reduction in the power of faith, which is not in his original interests.
At the time of conquest, these people were enemies, and naturally the number should be greatly reduced, but now they have become part of their own potential, and the massacre is somewhat meaningless.
Even for the gods, as long as the faith provides the same, he doesn't care at all whether the ruler of the empire is a native or an outsider.
With the support of the church, his descendants will not fall into the status of symbols or puppets, which is enough!
"There is no eternal empire, but there are immortal gods!"
Leylin muttered silently, compared to the long life of gods, even the most glorious empire in history seems so short, like a flash in the pan.
[Ding! Today's prayer answer is complete! A total of 348,761 pieces were processed! Granted 13286 magic places!]
At this time, a reminder box of a chip also popped out, making Leylin smile slightly.
Dealing with believers' prayers every day and bestowing magic spells on priests is a necessary homework for the gods. Although he can also handle it with his current spirit and thinking, it must be a huge burden, and it is impossible to travel so leisurely.
In particular, he now has more than 900,000 believers, almost larger than some true gods, and the resulting work is even more massive and cumbersome.
But the existence of the chip took over the tedious work, saving Leylin a lot of effort.
Those [True Gods] are not enough to deal with the heavy work, the real body and the incarnation are not enough, and they even have to set up the gods and the gods in the kingdom of God, and the current chips are also doing the same job, even doing better than ordinary The deity he had was better, and Leylin trusted him even more. After all, the other party had no possibility of betrayal.
"His Majesty!"
All the way back to the palace, many young and beautiful maids immediately greeted them, most of them bare their arms and lower abdomen, revealing smooth and vibrant skin, with eager eyes.
In addition to the girls who paid tribute from various tribes, the maids in the Leylin Palace were obviously also very good, maybe there were some noble heads in them.
Normally, Leylin would not mind a few warm and friendly exchanges with the other party, but today he obviously has more important work to do.
Originally the highest peak of the imperial capital, there was the former temple of Akban. Of course, it has been rebuilt now, and it has become the headquarters of the Giant Serpent Church who believes in Leylin.
At this time, Leylin was standing at the altar where the opponent was originally, looking at a huge black rock in the base.
The surface of this rock has a metallic luster, it looks like a black brick, but Leylin keenly senses the difference.
In fact, if the Akban statue above was not destroyed, this thing would not be able to show up.
"Finally found...Akban's savings?"
Leylin pressed his fingers on the surface of the black masonry, and immediately felt that his divine sense was connected to a huge space. The air was filled with a divine power that had already begun to fade, and the many translucent souls seemed to be sleeping There are also many layers spread all over the ground, some of which are still dying.
"Originally Akban's believer's soul... I didn't expect that he was lucky enough to find a demi-plane to hold it. Although the size of this demi-plane is not very good, it is much better than ordinary demi-artifacts..."
It is the task of the gods to receive the souls of believers, and devout believers, whether they are transformed into petitioners, heroic spirits, or holy spirits, are excellent helpers and backgrounds of the gods, and naturally they are not things that can be discarded at will.
[Demigods] do not have their own kingdom of God, so many of them directly build a containing item such as a demigod to store the souls of believers. Akban's luck is obviously better, and he found a demiplane.
"At least a million souls..."
After estimating the exact number, Leylin was once again shocked by Akban's background.
The demiplane is not the [Kingdom of God]. No matter how much it is protected, the souls of believers are still dying, and only devout believers will be brought here by Akban, which excludes a large part of pan-belief The aborigines, the fall of Akban led to the direct death of a large part of the souls, and the rest are the elites among the elites, and they are also the essence of the souls of tens of millions of natives who died in the five hundred years of the empire!
"This is the background of the gods. Compared with it, I am too weak..."
Leylin sighed, then looked at this demiplane.
The souls of these believers obviously only believed in Akban, and they would not be of much use to Leylin unless the source of the souls they absorbed were all annihilated, but this seemed too wasteful.
In fact, his biggest gain this time is this demiplane.
