Douluo: I am ready to leave the Spirit Hall. The system will come.

Strength can kill a man but it cannot conquer him.

But thoughts can.

When the powerful class of Douluo Continent, under the pressure from Bibi Dong, chose to break the impasse by gaining faith for You Chen, it became easier to invite a god than to send him away.

More than 90% of the population of the entire continent believes in Youchen, so the actual ruler cannot fall into the hands of others.

It is very difficult for those in power to give up their power. That is, when faced with a desperate woman like Bibi Dong who is not motivated by self-interest but only by killing, they can make such a choice when survival is the first priority.

However, they thought they were welcoming a saint, but in fact they attracted a hungry wolf that would eat people without leaving any bones.

The cunning rabbit dies, the running dog cooks.

After gaining control of Douluo Continent, or the current Xinghui Continent, all those useless dignitaries who had power but no ability were swept into the garbage dump of history by You Chen.

And those who survived did not do so because of their status, but simply because of their abilities.

The talents of a county can govern a country. In fact, there is not much difference between human management ability and other talents and endowments.

However, in a world with extraordinary powers, the value of an individual still lies in the ability of a soul master, so considering that these high-level soul masters are still relatively rare, You Chen will naturally look at them differently.

But You Chen doesn't need them to be superior to others.

To put it bluntly, soul master abilities and other non-supernatural abilities are just different types of abilities for You Chen.

There is no need to divide them into high and low categories.

God is supreme, and all other creatures are equal, which means "everyone is equal under me."

The aristocracy was forcibly abolished.

It’s not that there are no troublemakers, but for people like that, You Chen just needs to kill them.

The emperor was subject to the same punishment as the common people if he broke the law. Even though such laws were rarely enforced throughout the dynasties, there were records of them.

But the only god is no longer subject to legal restrictions, and no one has the power to impose sanctions.

Killing people in management positions is no big deal to You Chen now.

With believers accounting for more than 90% of the population, the stability of the rule is temporarily not a concern, and it is even easier to promote talents.

Even if the object of their jealousy does have outstanding qualities, as long as there seems to be something "not so good" about that object, they will feel jealous and want to replace it.

As for those who are absolutely transcendent, they can only admire them.

You Chen is that god.

Perhaps a very small number of ambitious people would be dissatisfied with You Chen, but the vast majority of people would naturally applaud after knowing that no one except You Chen could bully them, and those officials had truly become the so-called public servants.

Because even if gods have power, they will not do such boring things as oppressing mortals.

In the second year of Xinghui, the two Ultimate Douluo, Ocean Douluo and Angel Douluo, led nearly twenty titled strongmen across the ocean and arrived at the Sun and Moon Continent on the other side of Douluo Star, now Xinghui Star.

The soul masters in Douluo Continent have different types of martial souls and soul skills. Even if they have the same level of combat power, the killing range varies greatly. They cannot be directly judged by the evaluation criteria that emphasize the range of extreme output capabilities, such as street-destroying, city-annihilating, or country-annihilating levels.

But there is no doubt that every Extreme Douluo can destroy a city by expending a certain amount of effort.

In this regard, there is no obvious difference between Extreme Douluo and god-level figures like Bibi Dong for mortals.

In fact, if a Titled Douluo is good at large-scale destruction, the threat he poses to mortals is no weaker than that of an Ultimate Douluo.

An elite team consisting of two Ultimate Douluo and twenty Titled Douluo, if they encounter no resistance, can destroy cities and countries at a speed even faster than Bibi Dong in the past.

So, does the Sun and Moon Continent have such capabilities today?
The answer is...no.

Ten thousand years ago in the era of the Peerless Tang Sect, on the Sun-Moon Continent, the development of soul guides was far from the point of narrowing the gap in cultivation bases. And because of the gap in cultivation resources and soul master resources between the Sun-Moon Continent and the Starlight Continent, the number of top soul masters was far less than that of the current Starlight Continent.

The process of conquering the Sun-Moon Empire was much smoother than the people of the Star Continent had initially expected.

It took only three years of Xinghui to complete the initial rule.

However, the faith of the people of the Sun and Moon Continent cannot be stronger than that of the people of the Star Empire, which was established in the midst of disaster.

In addition, it was only the initial stage of rule, and it was impossible for everyone to believe in the Star God. Even if the population was larger, the power of faith provided initially would be less than one-tenth of that of the Star Empire.

Then, time came to the 5th year of Xinghui.

……

In the Xinghui Empire, homes can be seen everywhere. The unemployed Guo Da wakes up slowly to the sound of square dancing outside.

"What? It's only ten o'clock. Go back to sleep."

After looking at the alarm clock, the drowsy Guo Da once again pulled up the quilt to cover his face and went to sleep.

But you know, after being woken up, whether you can continue to fall asleep is a matter of random probability.

Especially when there is constant noise.

“Ahhhhhhh!!! It’s so noisy!!!”

In the end, Guo Da couldn't resist the evil sound and got up roaring.

He glared out the window fiercely: "Complain, I must complain!"

Then he climbed out of the bed.

The benevolent Star Emperor did indeed proclaim the law that "all are equal under the self".

But humans as animals cannot be as precise as ants.

As long as people cannot regard themselves as tools, absolute fairness cannot exist.

Because when a person exercises his own freedom, he inevitably infringes on the freedom of others.

It is difficult to judge whether this process is absolutely right or wrong.

For example, Guo Da wants to sleep until noon, while the aunties want to dance to the maximum volume of the speakers, and these two things are in conflict.

When Guo Da chose to complain, the person who solved the problem intervened and made a judgment for both of them, and power emerged.

But… this is only the case for the vast majority of people.

Guo Da doesn't have such worries.

While washing, Guo Da murmured to himself: "Great Emperor Xinghui, today is also a day full of hope. Thank you."

It is hard to imagine that these are abstract words coming out of the mouth of a middle-aged man in his thirties.

But as soon as Guo Da said this, the watch on his hand began to beep.

Guo Da tilted his head and saw the change in his faith value, and smiled with satisfaction.

This information watch, which every member of the Star Empire possesses, is as powerful as a modern smart watch, but its most important function is to "detect faith."

Piety index, monthly faith, and total faith.

The piety index changes with every prayer of the believers. It is a self-test value of the believers and has no actual impact.

The level of believers is calculated mainly based on their monthly faith. The welfare of the empire varies according to the level of believers.

You Chen naturally knew that humans cared more about their losses than about what they gained extra, and might even develop resentment because of it.

Therefore, there is no punishment for believers whose level is too low, but the social welfare will be lower.

The level of believers is more of an encouragement mechanism.

For many of the excellent jobs in the Star Empire, those who do not meet the required level of believers will not even be eligible to take the exam.

The struggle for power is essentially a struggle for resources.

But for You Chen, faith is the resource he needs most.

Not to mention, the faith provided by believers can be completely transformed into omnipotent divine power, and there is nothing wrong with treating it as equivalent to real resources.

This even gave rise to a special profession called "NEET".

In other words, as long as you have firm faith, it doesn’t matter if you don’t go out to work.

Because your believer level has reached level 5, the economic subsidies from the empire are enough for you to live a comfortable life.

Guo Da is a NEET.

And he is a well-known figure in the NEET circle.

It is precisely because his follower level is as high as level 8, which in the old times would be considered a fanatical follower.

drip.

A text message came from the information bracelet.

"How fast! I haven't even finished brushing my teeth yet and my appeal has been approved? Is this what it's like to be in power?"

Guo Da sighed in admiration, but his mood was not particularly agitated.

In the Star Empire, the level of believers is, in a sense, a kind of authority.

Official positions in many government departments are still symbols of status, but any violation of this rule will result in legal consequences.

On the contrary, the believers only enjoy power without having to fulfill obligations and responsibilities, and are truly free.

With such high authority as Guo Da, he can basically lie back and relax without any worries.

Most of the important officials of the empire had followers of a level not higher than his.

Even if these people used methods such as self-hypnosis, they still could not raise their faith level to level 8.

But this is nothing surprising.

After all, he had heard that there seemed to be a young man who had just graduated next door who didn't want to go to work, so he asked a hypnotist to hypnotize him. However, his believer level was still level 1, so he went to work very reluctantly.

Many people came to ask Guo Da for the secret, and he answered truthfully without hiding anything. As a devout believer, he was naturally happy to improve the level of other people's believers.

It's a pity that no one has gained experience from him so far.

Guo Da’s idea is very simple.

"Nothing. To be honest, I don't think I'm a fanatic. But I'm really grateful to His Majesty. In the past, people like me would have been lucky if we weren't bullied, let alone having a good life. So, of course I'm grateful to His Majesty. Thanks to His Majesty, I don't have to go to work every day and can do whatever I want. I don't think it's enough to thank you in my heart, but I'm too lazy, so I'll just thank you more in my heart! I really can't repay His Majesty's kindness! Loyalty! Sincerity!"

Guo Da thought it was no big deal. Or rather, he thought such thanks were justified.

But others can't seem to do that.

Maybe this is a kind of talent for him.

What Guo Da thinks is easy is actually not that easy for most people, but he himself does not feel it that way.

……

The empire was established five years ago.

With the development of technology, low-level soul masters have basically lost the high status they had in the past.

At this stage, the martial value of Soul Master has completely disappeared.

Normal civilians armed with weapons can easily kill a Soul Lord alone. An ordinary team of ten can easily surround and kill an ordinary Soul King.

It is foreseeable that as technology continues to develop in the future, perhaps only Soul Sages or even Titled Douluo and above will have individual value.

It is said that the flying ships manufactured by the military already have the ability to compete with the Titled Douluo that were only heard of in legends in the past. Perhaps in the future the profession of soul master will be completely eliminated.

At this stage, the empire will no longer deliberately train soul masters whose innate martial soul qualifications are lower than advanced level and whose potential is lower than top level.

This strategy initially aroused fierce opposition from many inherited families, but before long these opposing families became history...

To You Chen, there is absolutely no need for extraordinary professions to exist.

It is easy to see that for a country, individuals with strong military power are just destabilizing factors.

Not only do these guys have low piety, but they also consume a lot of resources. For him, who is both a god and an emperor, there is no cost-effectiveness at all.

He was going to rule the Star Empire forever and build it into a paradise on earth.

From the perspective of necessity, only one god with extraordinary individual powers is enough.

This not only brings more power of faith, but also reduces the burden on the planet.

However, Youchen is not a robot that only calculates benefits.

Naturally, he would remember the old friendship for his subordinates who had followed him loyally all the way.

If the plan goes well, he will also help them become gods and help him maintain eternal rule.

Although he could foresee that the strength of these subordinates would not grow faster than the development of technology, and even if they became first-level gods in the future, they would not be able to help him much, but it didn't matter. The key point was that he was willing.

As for the two star slaves, one has already become a god, and the other is only one step away from becoming a god, so he doesn't need to spend much resources at all.

And for a period of time after they become gods, they can still provide assistance to themselves, so the cost-effectiveness is self-evident.

In the future, the energy consumption to maintain their immortality will eventually exceed the resource growth they bring.

But by then, I probably wouldn't care about this consumption of resources.

No matter what, the most important thing is to grow your own strength.

Even with You Chen's vision, he cannot see the day when technology will surpass one's own military power.

After all, technology is only an aid to the growth of one's own strength and a part of entertainment.

In five years, the increase in the power of faith was not You Chen's greatest gain or enhancement.

During this long period of time, due to the natural cooling of the Inspiration Burst, and coupled with the task resources produced by Bibi Dong, You Chen has used the Inspiration Burst dozens of times.

Black technology such as the information bracelet that can detect faith in real time is just a small addition that Youchen got after dozens of bursts of inspiration. (End of this chapter)
