Become a king right from the start, beginning with receiving rewards from all the heavens.

Xu Da's words left Mu Wenhan speechless.

Meng Zhou remained silent.

He could tell that among everyone here, only he and Mu Wenhan held opposing views.

The others tend to completely exterminate all believers.

He certainly knew that this was the most effective and thorough method.

This can guarantee that those evil gods and temples of heaven will not resurface.

But... that's tens of millions of people after all.

Are all of His Majesty's subordinates really so cold-blooded and ruthless?

That's his limitation.

After all, those people were not locals, and they were anything that threatened His Majesty's rule.

In their eyes, they were all people who should be killed without mercy.

In their past lives, they were ruthless enough to kill their own people, let alone in this life towards those from the desolate world.

He had no choice but to step forward at this moment.

"Your Majesty, this matter requires caution."

"In the event of any unforeseen circumstances, it would be a major blow to your reputation!"

Xia Zhaoyan remained silent, deep in thought.

Yes, we should give those people a chance to live.

After all, one's reputation cannot be tarnished, as this is one of the foundations for establishing a dynasty in the future.

After all, there are no dynasties in the myriad realms, and he has no reference point.

The system and the Arcana only revealed one feasible path.

"Then first investigate the situation of all the temples for me."

"Pass the message down, warn those believers again, and urge them to repent and turn back from their misguided path!"

"This is your only chance. If you remain obstinate before we destroy the mountain and the temple, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The crowd bowed and accepted the decree.

Mu Wenhan and Meng Zhou exchanged a glance.

They both saw a hint of a sigh in each other's eyes.

They knew that warnings wouldn't rouse any believers.

But that's all I can do!

Although they didn't understand why His Majesty disliked these believers, neither of them intended to ask.

...

Next, the entire Eastern Depot, Embroidered Uniform Guard, and Heavenly Punishment Bureau of the Great Xia Dynasty were mobilized.

All the temples within the territory were registered.

Anyone who refuses to cooperate will have the person in charge of the temple thrown into jail.

Moreover, local governments began posting notices.

To persuade those who believe in the Way of Heaven and various deities to turn back from their misguided ways.

Tens of millions of people were like ripples in the water of the Great Xia population, though they did not create huge waves.

But it also caused a slight ripple.

"Strange, why would the imperial court try to persuade those fanatical believers?"

...

"I've heard that the gods these believers worship are all kinds of evil and heretical forces!"

...

"So, even the Heavenly Way is a heretical and evil path?"

...

"That's right, the Heavenly Way has now been condemned by the imperial court to the path of evil!"

...

Wow! That's so cool...

Throughout history, who has dared to cast the Way of Heaven into the realm of evil and heresy?

Only the Great Xia Dynasty dares to do this!

Putting everything else aside, this domineering move is truly awe-inspiring.

This fueled even greater fervor among the people for Xia Zhaoyan.

...

In the ancestral land of the White Lotus Sect, many cultivators at the Dragon Transformation Realm gathered.

In the center is a tall statue of a god.

Although the face is not clearly visible, the statue's divine presence commands respect.

"Gentlemen, I've heard that recently the Great Xia Dynasty has been cracking down on faith within its borders?"

...

"That's right, Emperor Taizu, we are reporting back on the foundation we left behind."

"Even the Heavenly Dao has been condemned to the path of evil by the Great Xia!"

hiss! !

Everyone gasped.

I was shocked by the grand scale of the Xia Dynasty!

"Aren't they afraid of divine retribution...?"

He shut up before he could finish speaking.

This person remembered that the Great Xia Dynasty was not afraid of offending the Heavenly Dao at all.

After all, when he ascended the throne, there was no one to worship the Heavenly Dao, and he even fought a great battle with the Heavenly Dao's avatar.

"I think the Great Xia is courting death."

"After this great calamity at the end of this cycle of reincarnation erupts, it's estimated that the Heavenly Dao will focus its attention on the Great Xia!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Do you really think that the will of Heaven is so easy to offend?

Suddenly, a divine aura rose in the hall.

Everyone immediately looked at the central statue in shock.

The next moment, the statue shone brightly.

A phantom figure emerged from it.

A powerful aura enveloped everyone present.

At this moment, everyone realized that the god they worshipped in their religion had awakened!

This is only the second awakening since the church was founded!

Everyone immediately knelt down and paid their respects.

With a wave of his hand, the phantom figure caused everyone to involuntarily stand up straight.

Then, the phantom chuckled.

"hehe..."

"I fear that Heaven's will not wait until the end of the cycle of reincarnation!"

What does that mean?

Before everyone could recover from the divine awakening, they were further confused by this statement.

"My God, how did you wake up?"

The founder of the White Lotus Sect asked respectfully.

The phantom figure flashed and arrived at the seat at the head of the table.

"I couldn't help but wake up!"

"After all, Heaven itself has notified me; how could I not awaken?"

These words were clearly tinged with anger.

Did Heaven personally notify us?

This only added to everyone's confusion!

The series of events that occurred in such a short period of time made everyone feel like their brains weren't working properly.

The phantom looked up at the sky, its eyes blazing with murderous intent.

I was seriously injured hundreds of thousands of years ago and accidentally fell into this world!

I originally thought this was just a small world, and that I would be able to leave soon after establishing my faith and incense offerings.

However, the way of Heaven in this world has actually developed wisdom!

This situation is extremely rare, even among all the heavens.

He fought with the Heavenly Dao, and his injuries became even more severe!

Left with no other choice, I had to obey their orders.

Otherwise, your life will be in danger!

If it weren't for the self-destruction of the incense-based Dao foundation within his body, which could threaten the Heavenly Dao...

He had no doubt that Heaven would destroy him.

Too slow. Relying solely on the incense offerings of the White Lotus Sect, I have been unable to recover to the Human Immortal Realm for hundreds of thousands of years!

"Everyone, the Heavenly Dao was awakened once before by the Bu Tian Sect."

"Next, all the overlords of the entire continent will join forces to wage war against Great Xia!"

"I will also take action then!"

That last sentence was said with such fierce determination.

Clearly, he didn't want to make a move.

But there was no way to face the threat posed by the laws of nature in this world.

If he wants to leave this world, he can only obey the command of Heaven.

You just wait, Heaven, if you make me go back to my original world...

I will definitely bring people here to destroy this damn world.

I, the heir of a noble family in the Yan Yue Divine Dynasty, have never suffered such humiliation.

At this moment, someone below cautiously said.

"But Your Majesty, the Great Xia has two invincible warriors at the Dragon Transformation Realm."

"And with the added blessing of good fortune, can the human and demon races truly defeat the Great Xia Dynasty by joining forces?"

...

"cannot!"

What a decisive denial! It left the numerous Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators below speechless.

"Unless Heaven itself intervenes!"

"Even if I were to intervene, I could only manage a draw at best!"

"Trying to destroy them? Wishful thinking!"

He is not an arrogant person.

As the heir of the powerful Marquis's Mansion in the vast Divine Dynasty, how could he be a fool?

The Great Xia Dynasty clearly has a great secret, otherwise it would be impossible for it to have changed so much in just a few decades.

Actually, he's quite confused right now!

Heaven knew perfectly well that even if the human and demon races joined forces, along with itself, they still couldn't destroy the Great Xia.

Why go through all this trouble and launch such a meaningless war?
