Liu Xiuer "conquered," well... "seized," uh... "obtained," yes, that's right, "obtained" "Heze Heavy Town." He did not go back on his word. Regarding the "hundred thousand imperial troops," those who deserved judgment were judged, and those who deserved beheading were beheaded.
Well, alright, Liu Xiuer didn't actually kill any "imperial soldiers." It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he didn't have the opportunity.
Long before "Heze Heavy Town" surrendered, those "evil beyond redemption" fellows, touched by Liu Xiuer's aura, "awakened their conscience." They knew they had been wrong, terribly wrong, unforgivably wrong, and thus they all committed suicide.
Indeed, close to twenty thousand "imperial soldiers" committed suicide.
The remaining "imperial soldiers," even if they had committed crimes, were not considered "major crimes." Liu Xiuer sentenced them to labor reform.
The first project: constructing a "Statue of Merit."
When Liu Xiuer had previously broken through "Mu Wang City," he had found enough "Merit Stones" inside to build two "Statues of Merit."
Liu Xiuer ordered a "Statue of Merit" to be built in "Mu Wang City," and there was exactly one set of "Merit Stones" left.
With a command from Liu Xiuer, these "imperial soldiers," with the mindset of "atonement," rushed to build the "Statue of Merit" with great enthusiasm.
These fellows worked with immense drive and efficiency. In less than three days, they successfully completed the "Statue of Merit" in "Heze Heavy Town."
This "Statue of Merit" was almost identical to the one in "Mu Wang City."
It perfectly showcased the wisdom of the senior, which inspired awe like a high mountain, and a brilliance that shook the ancient and shone through the present.
In a word, it was incredibly awesome!
As the "Statue of Merit" was completed, auspicious phenomena appeared like clouds.
The first phenomenon: auspicious clouds enveloped the area.
The "Statue of Merit" emitted boundless golden light, shooting straight into the sky.
Heaven and earth trembled, and countless golden auspicious clouds continuously converged, layering upon layer, creating an extraordinary spectacle.
The second phenomenon: celestial music lingered.
Within the golden auspicious clouds, waves of pleasant "heavenly sounds" arose.
The sound was so beautiful, so beautiful, it brought peace to people's hearts and a sense of comfort.
All negative emotions in people's hearts, such as jealousy, hatred, and anger... vanished unknowingly. Everyone's heart was filled with a beautiful mood, and smiles involuntarily appeared on their faces.
The third phenomenon: celestial maidens scattered flowers!
Exquisitely beautiful "fairy phantoms" with graceful figures appeared. They danced gracefully in the air, looking magnificent.
Each "fairy phantom" held a giant flower basket.
As they danced, streams of "petal phantoms" rained down from their flower baskets.
These "petal phantoms" fell upon everyone, like spring rain and dew, swiftly integrating into their bodies.
Streams of pure "healing power" continuously coursed through everyone's bodies.
Wherever the "healing power" passed, people felt a warm sensation all over, a complete comfort, an indescribable relief.
The "hidden illnesses and chronic ailments" that had been accumulated in their bodies were all dissolved at this moment.
Everyone's bodies regained vitality, as if they had become more than ten years younger.
It was too miraculous!
These "triple phenomena" immediately generated endless worship and faith in the "Statue of Merit" among the crowd.
It was too powerful, too strong!
They didn't even need Liu Xiuer to say much; everyone prostrated themselves before the "Statue of Merit."
A large amount of "Merit Power" continuously flowed into the "Merit Fortune Network."
Subsequently, even more miraculous changes occurred.
The "Statue of Merit" shone brightly, and countless stones gathered, transforming into a majestic and vast palace.
Immediately after, numerous magnificent statues rose from the ground!
In the main hall of the palace, beside Hao Ren's Statue of Merit, two divine statues appeared respectively.
"First Deputy Leader," Su Muxue.
She was responsible for spreading the sect's faith, attracting believers, and educating them.
"Second Deputy Leader," Little Dragon Girl.
She could realize the sect's highest tenet, which was "have more children and plant more trees"!
"Have more children" was easy to understand.
Under Little Dragon Girl's protection, as long as believers wished to have children and prayed to the statue.
The "Merit Power" in the "Merit Fortune Network" would activate and bless the believers, making it easier for them to conceive.
Moreover, children born through this method would have top-tier aptitude, comprehension, and even fortune. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them "dragons among men"!
This was like "opening a treasure chest."
Ordinary childbirth was like opening a "wooden treasure chest," and the child born was "ordinary white quality."
But through prayer to have children, with the blessing of "Merit Power," it was like opening an "eight-heart, eight-diamond super rare pay-to-win treasure chest." The child born, pfft, the child born would be at least "purple-gold rare quality."
Uh, to put it in plain language: children born through prayer would be intelligent, strong, capable of becoming ministers in the court, or generals on the battlefield... in short, incredibly awesome!
What parents wouldn't want to see their children succeed?
Therefore, even people who had no difficulties would go to the "statue" to pray, hoping to have an "exceptional child."
The common people of "Heze Heavy Town" did not yet fully grasp this point, but the residents of "Qingyang Village" and "Mu Wang City" had already experienced it deeply.
Now, their faith in the "Di Hua Divine Sect" was becoming more and more devout, and the tenet of "have more children" played a significant role in this.
The other function of "Little Dragon Girl" as the "Second Deputy Leader," "plant more trees," was slightly more complex.
"Little Dragon Girl" could cultivate various seeds and distribute them to the believers through the sect's "functions."
In the early stages, "Little Dragon Girl" had already cultivated two batches of seeds.
The first batch of seeds was "Sacred Dragon Rice seeds."
These seeds were based on "Sacred Sage Dragon Fang Rice seeds" and were a final product created by modifying them in the "Primordial Small World" generated by the "Phoenix God Tree tender sprout."
After thorough modification, although the "Sacred Dragon Rice seeds" were no longer spiritual rice, their yield was enormous and their growth speed was extremely fast.
They only needed one month to harvest after planting.
Each harvest was enough for an ordinary person to eat for over a hundred years.
Furthermore, "Sacred Dragon Rice" was nutritious and even contained a trace of spiritual energy, neither too much nor too little, making it most suitable for ordinary people.
Long-term consumption by ordinary people could even prolong their lives and greatly increase their lifespan.
A good thing!
An extremely good thing!
The second batch of seeds was called "Love Big Melon seeds."
They were modified from "Lover's Tree seeds." This item resembled watermelon, but was not entirely the same. It had a built-in chilling function and was an essential item for "watching dramas and eating melons"...
