From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 525 You Ming's "Fanboy"

You Ming stretched, feeling quite pleased with himself.

Recently, most of the illegal incense offerings that had been relentlessly pursuing us like mosquitoes have quickly disappeared.

The Rebirth Cult is embroiled in internal strife and has no time to spread its faith. As for its most ordinary followers, their loyalty to the cult has instantly dropped to zero due to the influence of cheat codes. The cult's doctrines simply cannot sway their hearts.

"only……"

You Ming reached out and grabbed, hovering above his temple, where thick, golden-red incense smoke shot into the sky.

However, among these incense sticks, there is one with a very prominent gold color, while the red color appears to be relatively small.

This incense stick is more concentrated and purer than the others.

However, it still stands out from other incense offerings.

Looking at the cluster of incense sticks, You Ming couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.

He had used the "Break Faith and Betray Loyalty" technique on the Rebirth Cult, and the result was that the once unified Rebirth Cult was divided into countless smaller sects. Everyone believed that their understanding was the true doctrine of Rebirth, and everyone else was a heretic.

Among them, there was a small sect that, for reasons unknown, firmly believed that You Ming's position as the "Prolonged Life, Prosperous Fortune, Heavenly Prosperity, Righteous God" was part of the Ming King, and that they were two sides of the same coin.

Furthermore, the [Yansheng Hongfu Tianlu Zhengshen] is in charge of life, while the Mingwang represents death.

Otherwise, it is inexplicable that in a sect that pursues death and rebirth, there would be a deity responsible for fertility, good fortune, and wealth. Doesn't this contradict the doctrine of rebirth?

It can only be said that when the higher-ups of the Rebirth Sect created this hodgepodge, they never expected such an incredible cheat code to exist. They were so focused on avoiding trouble from the orthodox divine path that they didn't anticipate their own backyard would catch fire.

Once a person gets caught up in what they believe to be correct, they will frantically fill in the blanks in their mind, making their mind even more biased.

It is precisely because of this that You Ming receives a large amount of devout... "illegal offerings" from these "fanatics" every day.

These incense sticks are still toxic to You Ming, even more so than normal illegal incense sticks.

Any offerings to deities that are not made through legitimate channels, such as worshipping at itinerant temples or through itinerant missionaries, are considered illegal.

He wanted to resolve this matter completely, either by using a blank authority to create a new deity to carry on the offerings, just like he was facing the illusion of wealth and power.

Or they could do what they did with the Rebirth Cult before and just wipe out this small group.

However, just as You Ming was preparing to use the "Break Trust and Separate Loyalty" technique to cause this small group to fall apart, the small group unexpectedly broke apart first.

The amount of illegal incense offerings that You Ming received suddenly decreased significantly.

After a brief inquiry, it was learned that although this small group regarded Youming as their main faith, they still operated under the name of the Rebirth Cult. The "Break Faith and Betrayal" that Youming inflicted on the Rebirth Cult lasted for thirty-six months.

This means that these small groups will continue to experience internal strife and division.

Ultimately, it may even become completely atomized.

It was precisely because of their further internal divisions that their respective doctrines differed, and neither could generate a sufficient number of worshippers.

The remaining few sparks of incense could be extinguished with a simple breath from You Ming.

"Uh... fine then." "You guys can do whatever you want these days, just don't bother me anymore."

You Ming chased away all the illegal incense sticks that were gathering around like fireflies, and then left the matter alone.

If this sect can still exist after thirty-six months, then they are truly formidable.

……

You Ming sat cross-legged on a branch of the Azure Divine Tree. Since the White Dragon and Yang Qinglian were not in the cave recently, the cave was much quieter.

Although You Ming allowed some recruited rogue cultivators and demons to cultivate within the cave, these people held the Lord of Yuanling Mountain in great awe and naturally dared not make a fuss.

You Ming rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought.

Although he had no interest in the dragon-fighting, as the King of Zhenshan said, once you're in this quagmire, you can't expect to stay out of it.

Unless You Ming truly abandons Toadheart Island and retreats back to Yuanling County, other forces will not feel at ease with him.

You Ming will not give up; he can only contend with various forces.

He began to mentally analyze his cheat codes, considering which ones he could use to manage his power.

However, the game in the previous life was a single-player Xianxia game. Although it was divided into various factions, it was not a pure real-time strategy game, and there were very few cheat codes on how to improve one's faction.

However, the "Broken Faith and Loyalty" code is a cheat code specifically designed to target certain factions.

No force can withstand internal disintegration. If You Ming wants to dominate the world, the simplest way is to continuously unleash this ability on his opponents, and the enemies will collapse on their own.

However, the downside of this cheat code is that it is too destructive. Any human force of any size may have tens of thousands of core members. If these tens of thousands of people were to lead their own teams to fight each other, then the world would truly be a river of blood.

You Ming considered himself a gentle person, and he prepared to search again to see if there were any other methods.

In his memory, there were some cheat codes in the game in his previous life that could increase the region's resource reserves. If he could obtain them, they would be of great help in his struggle for supremacy.

There were also some cheat codes that could directly increase money, reputation, and prestige... but he didn't get any of them.

"This [Fictional Destiny]... seems usable."

However, many cheat codes, even if their original function is not to build power, can actually produce good results if you change your approach.

You Ming quickly discovered a cheat code he had figured out two years ago, but he was busy dealing with the Toad Heart Island matter at the time, and he felt that it wouldn't have any effect on him, so he didn't bother with it anymore.

Title: [Fictional Destiny]

Ability: Select a target person and grant them a false destiny. During the duration of the ability's effect, the target person will receive the blessing of that destiny.

This cheat code was a very niche cheat code in his previous life, and its use was very simple. It was mainly used to trigger a task only when certain identity conditions were met.

Some players found the prerequisite quests too boring, so they created a cheat code.

However, after carefully studying the cheat code, You Ming discovered that although it wasn't very effective or meaningful for cultivators, it could produce very interesting effects for mortals.
