Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16504

Chapter 16502 Selection

“From this day forward, the sect will establish the Rune Church. The sect leader will be the god of the Rune Church, and Elder Wen Wenhai will be the Grand Patriarch of the Rune Church, overseeing all affairs within the church. A separate position of Archbishop will be established within the church, ranking below the Grand Patriarch, namely: Ding Chunming, Bai Yan, Gongsun Yulong, Sheng Si, Cheng Wanchun, and Sun Buyu…”

All the disciples of the Blood Slaughter Sect saw this notice from the sect. Only then did they realize that the sect had undergone a complete transformation. The sect was now called the Rune Church, although it still retained the name Blood Slaughter Sect. It had been completely converted into the Rune Church, truly changing according to religious principles. Moreover, Zhao Hai was no longer the sect leader; he had directly become the god of the Rune Church.

When the notice was issued, the disciples of the Blood Slaughter Sect were initially stunned. Then, their reactions quickly split into two groups. The first group consisted of the older disciples, who were initially excited upon seeing the notice. They then quickly read the subsequent regulations concerning the Rune Sect. When they saw that all Rune Sect disciples could enshrine a statue of Zhao Hai at home and carry it with them, they were overjoyed. This was something they had been praying for, but the sect hadn’t agreed to it before. Later, due to the cultivation method, they were allowed to worship for a period, but it wasn’t mandatory. This time, however, it was mandatory, with daily morning prayers. Furthermore, the Rune Sect had new doctrines, the first of which was to wholeheartedly worship Zhao Hai as a god.

The older disciples of the Blood Slaughter Sect were all excited. In their eyes, this was a victory. For so many years, they had regarded Zhao Hai as a god. Many disciples had even repeatedly petitioned the sect to deify Zhao Hai and establish a cult based on him. However, the sect had never agreed; more accurately, Zhao Hai had refused, so the matter had remained unresolved. They never expected the sect to agree now, which was incredibly good news for them.

Compared to these older disciples, the newer disciples of the sect reacted quite differently. They were completely taken aback that the sect would create a cult. This was entirely unexpected. They knew about cults and understood what it meant to elevate Zhao Hai from sect leader to god. A sect leader was merely a leader of a sect, but a god was different; a god was their complete ruler, and that was the most terrifying thing.

To be honest, many newcomers to the Blood Slaughter Sect were somewhat resentful. After all, many of them had previously been averse to the existence of sects, and now a sect had emerged within their own sect—how could they not be disgusted?

However, the Blood Slaughter Sect’s propaganda then began, mainly recounting what everyone already knew. Combining the sect’s history with a realistic illusion, they explained how Zhao Hai cultivated step by step from a cultivator to the God Realm. They established this sect to help Zhao Hai become a god, with the ultimate goal of confronting beings like the God of Creation after ascension.

It could be said that this time, the Blood Slaughter Sect truly laid everything bare, explaining why they established the sect, the extent of Zhao Hai’s strength—everything was revealed. This was essentially a selection process. If the newcomers accepted Zhao Hai’s status and considered him their god, everything would be fine. But if they didn’t, then sorry, you’d be eliminated, and the sect would take back everything it had given you.

For many newcomers to the sect, worshipping Zhao Hai and regarding him as a god is understandable. Their lives are already intertwined with Zhao Hai; their lives depend on him, and his death means their demise. In this context, what’s wrong with making Zhao Hai their god? This is especially true for ordinary people who had long given up on cultivation but now have the opportunity to cultivate again and even achieve immortality. This is an immense blessing for them, all thanks to Zhao Hai. Therefore, it’s not wrong for them to regard him as a god. The real

struggle lies with the powerful cultivators. They consider themselves very strong, making it harder for them to accept Zhao Hai as their god. Fortunately, these individuals are a minority and don’t significantly impact the overall situation.

Frankly, the problem lies in their mindset. They haven’t adjusted their perspective. They are unwilling to learn about the history of the Blood Slaughter Sect or Zhao Hai’s deeds. They remain trapped in their own self-perception, and this flawed understanding leads to their reaction.

Of course, there are also people with a balanced mindset, like Qingxuan and his group. Because they experienced the events in the Divine Kingdom, they know that during that time, their sect established a cult called the Myriad Laws Divine Cult. They didn’t know who the Myriad Laws Divine Cult worshipped before, but now they know it’s Zhao Hai. Therefore, they have no resentment at Zhao Hai’s ascension to godhood.

Moreover, because of the Myriad Laws Divine Cult, Qingxuan and his group have a very good mindset now. When the Blood Slaughter Sect had everyone study its history, they really put in a lot of effort. It was because they studied the history that they realized just how powerful Zhao Hai was. Knowing how powerful Zhao Hai was, they truly have no aversion to acknowledging him as a god.

Moreover, Qingxuan and the others have learned their lesson. They are very clear that in the Blood Slaughter Sect, it is best to do what the sect tells you to do and not to do what the sect forbids you to do. Just like this time, the sect has formed the Rune Cult and made them worship Zhao Hai as a god. They had better do that, otherwise, they might face punishment from the sect.

Another point is that Qingxuan and his group have been observing the actions of the sect’s senior disciples. They are well aware that, apart from people like Liu E, they should follow the lead of the other senior disciples; otherwise, they might find it difficult to truly integrate into the sect.

Qingxuan and his group discovered that the senior disciples not only showed no aversion to worshipping Zhao Hai as a god, but were actually quite excited. Qingxuan even noticed that many disciples didn’t start worshipping Zhao Hai’s statue only when the sect was about to establish the Rune Cult, but rather produced one immediately after the sect issued the notice. Moreover, this statue was clearly quite old, not newly made. This made Qingxuan’s heart skip a beat; he knew very well what this meant.

This meant that many senior disciples of the Blood Slaughter Sect had long since worshipped Zhao Hai as a god. Upon noticing this, Qingxuan immediately notified the people of the Heavenly Profound Sect. Although the Heavenly Profound Sect had disbanded, they were still from the same sect, and Qingxuan still wanted to inform them of any problems.

Soon, all the disciples in the sect became followers of the Rune Cult. Wen Wenhai and the others weren’t surprised by this, but the people in the Blood Slaughter Sect didn’t know that although they had become followers of the Rune Cult, this was only the beginning. Further selection would follow, but this time, the selection wouldn’t be openly conducted.

Many members of the Blood Slaughter Sect underestimated Zhao Hai. They thought his strength was just so-so. Although Zhao Hai had become a god, and they worshipped him, they didn’t truly believe in him. They assumed Zhao Hai wouldn’t know, since they, like everyone else, performed morning prayers and worshipped Zhao Hai’s statue, but it was all just for show. They didn’t truly believe in Zhao Hai; in other words, they didn’t genuinely regard him as a god. They thought their actions were done unnoticed, but they didn’t know that Zhao Hai was aware of everything.

They were completely ignorant of the power of a god. They thought that by pretending to worship Zhao Hai, he wouldn’t know, but what they didn’t know was that Zhao Hai knew perfectly well whether they had worshipped him or not.

When the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples truly began to formally worship Zhao Hai as a god, Zhao Hai had already discovered who genuinely worshipped him, who was feigning devotion, who were fanatics, and who were ordinary believers. He knew all of this. The so-called fanatics were those who could provide him with the most faith power, while ordinary believers could also provide him with faith power, just not much. As for those who feigned worship, although they were worshipping him, they provided him with no faith power at all, so he naturally knew that those people were only pretending to worship him.

Moreover, Zhao Hai also discovered that after doing this, it was as if he had countless clones. He could use these clones to understand the situation of those who worshipped him at any time. Therefore, all those who did not provide him with faith power had been marked by Zhao Hai.

However, those people were unaware of this. They continued to pretend to worship Zhao Hai’s idol every day, thinking that they were doing it flawlessly, not knowing that Zhao Hai had known about this from the very beginning.

A month passed. A month later, Zhao Hai summoned Wen Wenhai and the others to his room. Once they arrived, Zhao Hai nodded to them and said, “I called you here today because there’s something I need you to handle. It concerns those within the sect who feign faith but actually have ulterior motives.” Wen

Wenhai nodded, then snorted coldly, “I knew there would be such people in the sect. They think they can fool everyone by pretending. Boss, don’t worry, I’ll investigate when I get back and deal with them immediately.” Ding Chunming and the others also nodded, their faces grim.

Zhao Hai looked at them and smiled slightly, “You don’t need to investigate this matter. I have a list here. The people on this list are those who feign faith. But don’t arrest them; that would cause panic within the sect. Under the guise of establishing a new branch, we can gather them together and then deal with them.” (End of Chapter)
