Two more videos were then uploaded to the chat channel.
The videos showed black smoke emerging from a statue of Shiva, followed by scenes of it devouring human souls.
"An evil god, this Shiva is indeed an evil god!"
"Shiva not only doesn't protect his followers, but he also wantonly reaps their lives. How detestable."
"Look, this is the Shiva you've always worshipped. He is a complete demon."
"My god, how could you treat your devout followers like this?"
This video was filmed by a follower of Brahma.
As soon as this video was posted on the chat channel, it immediately sparked countless arguments.
Countless Shiva followers also had their faith completely shattered, falling into a state of questioning life.
Qin Shilei and An Qian continued to clear Shiva's temples, base by base, with the temples of Brahma and Huanhuo Tianwang also included in the scope of their cleanup.
His three kill-on-sight orders were also conveyed to every city under his control.
After another half month passed in this manner, almost the entire Tianzhu country fell under the jurisdiction of the Qin'an Royal Manor.
All the overt Golden experts in Tianzhu country were also killed by Qin Shilei and his subordinates.
In the cities, the statues in the temples were replaced with the beautiful nature goddess Emily.
Even if some people secretly still worshipped Shiva, their numbers were so few that it would take who knows how long for enough faith to accumulate for Shiva to manifest again.
Countless newly promoted Golden experts were dispatched by Qin Shilei to guard Tianzhu country.
During this time, the nature goddess, impersonated by An Qian, appeared twice more.
Once, she merely waved her hand and repelled hundreds of thousands of beetles. Another time, she spoke golden words that caused millions of surrounding zombies to scatter and flee.
These miracles of hers were again filmed and uploaded to the chat channel of Tianzhu country.
As a result, more and more people became devout followers of the nature goddess.
Having basically resolved the hidden danger of Shiva, Qin Shilei and An Qian returned to Hope City.
"Elder Tan, we'll have to trouble you to take good care of Tianzhu country," Qin Shilei said with a smile from his seat at the head of the table.
"Heh heh, it is our honor to serve the nation. For Qin'an King to have taken over the vast Tianzhu country within a mere month, greatly expanding our Great Xia's territory by almost half, is truly a feat that can be passed down through the ages," Tan Anguo said, his face glowing and filled with emotion.
"Qin'an King, I believe we should cultivate forces friendly to us in Tianzhu country to manage it for us. This way, the resistance from the survivors of Tianzhu can be minimized," Ji Pengcheng said from the side, offering a suggestion.
"Agreed," Qin Shilei replied after a moment of thought. "However, the Golden experts we station in Tianzhu must remain constantly vigilant and must never allow the survivors of Tianzhu to worship evil gods again. We must also secretly eliminate any Tianzhu people who successfully advance to the Golden realm."
"Understood. We will discuss the best management method," Tan Anguo nodded in agreement.
After discussing for a while longer, the few of them took their leave.
Qin Shilei also returned to the back garden.
Another month had passed, and the two crystal cores had once again recovered to their full state.
Qin Shilei hugged the crystal cores and sat cross-legged on the ground, entering secluded cultivation.
As he was in seclusion, a beautiful young woman entered Hope City.
This young woman had an oval face and wore a white long dress, with an ancient sword on her back. Her expression was indifferent yet arrogant.
"This is the city established by the number one person on Blue Star. It's not bad!" Sun Hongying muttered to herself.
With an acceleration, she intended to fly over the city walls and into the city.
Suddenly, an invisible force acted upon her, causing her to lose her flight capability and fall straight down.
Sun Hongying's expression changed drastically. She couldn't understand why she had suddenly lost the ability to fly. She was hundreds of meters in the air, and if she fell like this, even as a Golden expert, she would likely be smashed into a pulp.
Sun Hongying quickly tried several methods, but her body got closer and closer to the ground.
She couldn't help but curse, but she had to calm down and seek a way to save herself.
"Look, this idiot from who knows where in the sky actually wants to fly in our Hope City. Isn't she tired of living!"
"This person definitely never reads the chat channel. If she did, how could she not know that flying is prohibited in our Hope City?"
"She's wearing a skirt, isn't she afraid of a wardrobe malfunction?"
"You're too nosy. Just watch."
"Why not walk on the good road and insist on showing off by flying? She's getting her just desserts now."
The pedestrians below also noticed the woman falling rapidly and began to discuss.
At this point, Sun Hongying was only tens of meters from the ground. She had tried to use an umbrella to slow her descent, but it was quickly blown apart.
Her expression became increasingly grim, and she had cursed the person or thing that caused her to lose her flight ability ten thousand times in her heart.
She then took out several pieces of clothing, opened them, and held onto two corners.
Sun Hongying's speed finally slowed down a bit.
Boom!
Sun Hongying smashed a large pit into the city wall.
If not for her strength reaching the Golden realm, this impact would have certainly turned her into a corpse, unable to get up again. Even so, she suffered a not-so-light internal injury.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a beauty?"
Sun Hongying's eyes widened, and she yelled in anger. Then, she turned into a blur and quickly left the spot.
She then stopped a passerby midway and asked for the location of the Qin'an Royal Manor. Sun Hongying transformed into a blur and quickly rushed towards it.
In the hall of the City Lord's mansion.
"Madam An, a woman calling herself Sun Hongying has come to see Qin'an King," a servant reported as he entered.
"Sun Hongying?" An Qian thought for a moment but had no recollection of the name. "Please invite her in."
As soon as Sun Hongying entered the hall, she asked coldly, "Who are you? Where is Qin'an King? Have him come out to see me." Her tone was full of an imperious demeanor.
Hearing this, An Qian's expression immediately turned cold. "I am Qin'an King's wife. May I ask what business this auntie has with my husband?"
"Auntie?"
Sun Hongying reacted as if her tail had been stepped on. She pointed at An Qian and questioned, "Who are you calling auntie? Am I that old? I'm not even a hundred years old. Don't you have any manners?"
"Not a hundred, does that mean over ninety?" An Qian teased. "Then should I call you older sister or little sister?" She then muttered, "At your age, why are there still people who pretend to be young." Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for Sun Hongying to hear.
"Please refer to me as Sun Hongying or Miss Sun." Sun Hongying thought that her age was indeed greater than the other party's. She could only suppress her anger and ordered again, "Have your husband come out to see me immediately. I can't explain things to you, a mere woman."
