Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16503
Chapter 16501. Sects
What’s the hardest thing to unify in this world? Perhaps it’s people’s thoughts. Ten thousand people will have ten thousand different ideas, not to mention the nearly trillions of people in the Blood Slaughter Sect. Their thoughts are even more numerous, so unifying their thoughts is no easy task.
Fortunately, about half of the Blood Slaughter Sect members are veteran disciples. Their thoughts are actually quite easy to unify because most of them are extremely loyal to Zhao Hai, quite satisfied with life in the Blood Slaughter Sect, and don’t crave excessive power. Therefore, their thoughts are relatively easy to unify.
As for those who have just joined the Blood Slaughter Sect, they are somewhat more difficult to deal with. However, the truly difficult ones are only the higher-ups. The ordinary disciples and commoners below them are not a problem. They are very clear about what kind of life they lived before and what kind of life they live now. Their current lives are all because of the Blood Slaughter Sect, and since they are all members of the undead race, their thoughts are also relatively easy to unify.
The most difficult group to deal with were actually the higher-ups in the smaller domains. They had many more concerns, having previously held power, and many still harbored a desire for it. While the deaths of Wan Hai and the others had suppressed some of their inappropriate thoughts, it was far from making them think like the rest of the Blood Slaughter Sect. They had many hidden agendas.
Wen Wenhai was aware of this, so he didn’t pressure them. These things couldn’t be forced; pushing them too hard would only breed resentment and create more trouble. If they kept their ambitions hidden, the consequences of their eventual outburst would be unimaginable.
Wen Wenhai’s approach was quite simple: he had them study the sect’s history, specifically the detailed history of the Blood Slaughter Sect. This was extremely important.
The Blood Slaughter Sect has a rich and legendary history. Letting them understand its origins and how it rose to its current state will change their perception of the sect. Just as a historian develops a sense of awe towards history, understanding the Blood Slaughter Sect’s history will make it easier to unify their thinking. Of course
, Wen Wenhai didn’t just have a few people study history; everyone in the Blood Slaughter Sect, even the older disciples, was required to study it. The disciples didn’t object; some were even fascinated by the sect’s history, some even dedicated to its study. Wen Wenhai was initially unaware of this, but after learning about it, he became quite interested. He observed their research and found it quite useful, providing a thorough analysis of the Blood Slaughter Sect’s history, making it easier for newcomers to understand it.
History is indeed very important. You can understand a nation by understanding history, and of course, you can also understand a sect by understanding history. Many newcomers to the Blood Slaughter Sect don’t understand the sect’s history; they only know the Blood Slaughter Sect as it is now, the one that has everything. They don’t know how the Blood Slaughter Sect got to where it is now, or even that it was originally born from the inner space of a single person.
When they truly understand the history of the Blood Slaughter Sect, they understand why the older disciples worship Zhao Hai so fervently—because Zhao Hai truly deserves their worship.
Gradually, the new disciples who joined the Blood Slaughter Sect began to worship Zhao Hai like the older disciples, and this number grew.
Wen Wenhai also noticed this trend. Seeing the disciples worship Zhao Hai like a god, Wen Wenhai felt as if he had suddenly discovered a new continent. He immediately went to seek an audience with Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai immediately greeted him. Upon seeing Wen Wenhai, Zhao Hai smiled and said, “What brings you here? Is something the matter?”
Wen Wenhai quickly replied, “Boss, I’ve discovered a problem. If we use ordinary methods to unify the thoughts of the sect’s disciples, it’s very difficult. After all, everyone has different ideas, and completely unifying their thoughts is not an easy task. However, if we use a different method, it might be much easier.”
Zhao Hai looked at Wen Wenhai and asked, “Oh? What method?”
Wen Wenhai said in a deep voice, “Religion. We can establish a religion, have everyone join it, and believe in it. In this religion, there is only one God, and that is you, Boss. Using this method, we should be able to unify everyone’s thoughts more easily.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hai frowned. He glanced at Wen Wenhai and said, “Religion? Creating a god? That’s not a good idea. After all, these people are just disciples of the sect now. Once they become true believers, it will have a huge impact on them.”
Wen Wenhai understood what Zhao Hai meant. Some religious believers are extremely fanatical; they’re almost losing their own thoughts. Zhao Hai didn’t want to control the sect in this way. If he wanted to, he would have done it long ago and wouldn’t have waited until now.
Wen Wenhai said in a deep voice, “Boss, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this. Look at the people of the Creation God Cult. Their god, the God of Creation, is weaker than you, yet he dares to call himself a god. But you, Boss, are much stronger than the God of Creation. Why can’t you call yourself a god? If everyone truly regards you as a god, then their thoughts will be more easily unified.”
Zhao Hai listened to Wen Wenhai’s words, thought for a moment, and then said, “Call Lao Bai and the others over. Let’s discuss it.” Wen Wenhai agreed, and then he sent a letter to Bai Yan and the others, asking them to come to Zhao Hai for a meeting.
Soon, Bai Yan and the others arrived. After they all arrived, Zhao Hai explained Wen Wenhai’s intentions to them, and then he said, “That’s it. Lao Wen’s idea is to create a god, to make all the disciples of the sect my followers. This way, their thoughts will be more easily unified. Do you think this method is feasible?”
“Young Master, how can Old Wen say this is creating a god? You are a god to begin with. If you weren’t a god, who could resurrect the dead disciples? If you weren’t a god, who could provide the sect with endless resources? If you weren’t a god, who could allow the sect to constantly switch between the realms of reality and illusion? If you weren’t a god, who could have allowed the sect to develop to this extent? And Young Master, once we reach the Upper Realm, won’t everyone have to give you their faith power? Wouldn’t that be treating you as a god? Why don’t we just let them treat you as a god from the start? You can do everything a god can do, and you can give those disciples everything a god can give.” “You can give us everything. If you’re not a god, then who is? So I think we don’t actually need to create a god. You’re already a god. In fact, some disciples in our sect have been secretly worshipping your image for a long time. They’ve long regarded you as a god. It’s just that you opposed doing so before. Although you later allowed everyone to do so, you didn’t explicitly establish a religion. So why don’t we just take advantage of this and establish a sect directly? That way, we can unify everyone’s thoughts in the shortest amount of time. This is a good thing!” Ding Chunming said, his expression extremely excited.
Everyone else nodded, their faces also filled with fanaticism. Zhao Hai was stunned when he saw their expressions. Then he glanced at Ding Chunming and the others and found that their faces were full of fanaticism, which surprised Zhao Hai greatly.
You see, Wen Wenhai and the others had been following Zhao Hai for a long time. They knew about every step of Zhao Hai’s progress. Logically, people like them shouldn’t be worshipping him, but judging from their expressions, they seemed to admire him immensely. What was going on?
Actually, Zhao Hai didn’t know that Wen Wenhai and the others actually worshipped him even more. They had watched Zhao Hai rise step by step to where he was today. They had watched him go from an ordinary person to a god. They couldn’t do what Zhao Hai could do, and that’s why they worshipped him even more, even more fervently than the ordinary disciples.
Seeing his expression, he sighed and said, “Alright, let’s establish a sect then. But what should we call our sect? We can’t just call it the Myriad Laws Divine Sect like before, can we?”
Wen Wenhai said in a deep voice, “The Myriad Laws Divine Sect is definitely not suitable. We don’t only have magic. Calling it the Myriad Laws Divine Sect is too one-sided. I think it’s better to call it the Rune Sect. We won’t call it a Divine Sect, just the Rune Sect. Boss, your strongest point is runes, so let’s call it the Rune Sect.”
Everyone else nodded in agreement, and one of them, Bai Yan, said, “The Rune Sect is good. Didn’t Young Master always say that everything can be runed? Moreover, the soul imprints of all the disciples in our sect are all in Young Master’s rune space. Calling it the Rune Sect is just right.”
Ding Chunming and the others all nodded, indicating that “Rune Cult” was the best name. Zhao Hai, upon hearing this, also nodded and said, “Alright, let’s call it the Rune Cult then. Shouldn’t we also change the organizational structure of our sect?” Wen
Wenhai shook his head and said, “I don’t think we need to change that, just the names. For example, I can be called Archbishop, and Lao Ding and the others can be called Cardinals. The heads of the various halls can be called Bishops, and the elders in charge can be called Priests. Just change the titles. However, we must have some rituals, such as prayers and morning services. We need to gradually establish these. Only in this way can we truly establish the entire system. What do you all think?” (End of Chapter)
