"No matter whose followers you were before, no matter where you came from, you must now understand that I am your master, and you must submit to me. I didn't want to do this, but since you dared to disobey my orders, don't blame me for what I'll do."
Zhao Fu's furious voice sounded out, and everyone still did not dare to make a sound as their hearts were filled with terror.
Zhao Fu paused for a moment.
Zhao Fu looked at the army in front of him and said coldly, "Now, do you know who you're submitting to and who you're serving?"
"We submit to Sir God Lord! We swear loyalty to Sir God Lord to the death! "
The soldiers and the Generals behind Zhao Fu all understood and knelt on the ground as they yelled in unison.
Their voices were incredibly loud, shaking the surroundings. They gave off a feeling of submitting to supreme power, a domineering aura, and a cold aura of killing and conquering.
Their expressions were filled with awe, as if they were revering their godly spirits.
After all, the godly spirit world only had godly spirits and did not have any Kingdoms, Sects, or other factions. These people would normally obey and be loyal to godly spirits, which was why so many people had objected to Zhao Fu's words.
This caused Zhao Fu to lose all of his dignity as the leader of a faction. If he did not kill these people, how would Zhao Fu rule the Pantheon Temple in the future? Once he opened his mouth, anyone would be able to stand up against Zhao Fu. What would Zhao Fu do then?
He had to use bloody methods to make them change their way of thinking and understand who they should listen to.
Otherwise, after the Pantheon Temple became more powerful in the future, it would become a massive hidden danger. After all, these soldiers would not listen to him and would only be loyal to godly spirits. If a godly spirit rebelled, they would also join in and devour Zhao Fu.
Zhao Fu could not allow this to happen, which was why Zhao Fu had personally taken control of the army.
Seeing this scene of tens of thousands of soldiers submitting to him, Zhao Fu's anger dissipated, and the coldness in his expression eased.
Zhao Fu then said, "Rise! Since you have submitted to me, I will not treat you unfairly. Now, each of you will be rewarded with 10 military merits. "
Everyone couldn't help but smile. They hadn't done anything at all, yet they had obtained ten military merits. Ten military merits required a lot of effort on the battlefield to obtain.
"Thank you, Divine Master!"
The soldiers shouted in unison with joy on their faces. They had also acknowledged Zhao Fu in their hearts.
Humans were like this. First make them afraid, then give them some benefits, and they will be more loyal to you.
Zhao Fu didn't say anything else. The rest of the soldiers' training could be handed over to the generals.
Then, they would slowly change and become soldiers like Qin's soldiers, fighting for Zhao Fu. He would absolutely obey Zhao Fu's orders and would never disobey again.
As for those who had not submitted, Zhao Fu had no interest in caring about them, as he had already achieved his goal.
After casually killing some of the more stubborn people, the others saw how terrifying Zhao Fu was and were so scared that their legs became weak. They had long since knelt on the ground and submitted, not daring to say anything.
After returning to the Pantheon, Zhao Fu carried out his first major reform. First, he increased the soldiers' privileges and status so that the commoners would be more motivated to join the army. Moreover, Zhao Fu wanted a large number of soldiers.
Apart from this, Zhao Fu also needed to strengthen his control over the commoners' thoughts. Just like the soldiers, the commoners would only listen to and serve the gods and support the gods.
Towards the commoners, Zhao Fu's methods were much gentler. He didn't kill many people, nor was his methods bloody or cruel.
After all, as an outsider, even though Zhao Fu had become the Pantheon's owner and their lord, they wouldn't immediately submit to him. If he killed those who didn't submit, there wouldn't be many commoners left.
The first thing that Zhao Fu did was the most important thing, which was to revise the Bible.
Every god had a Bible, and every commoner believed in a god and was familiar with the corresponding Bible.
The Bible's main purpose was to deepen faith and make the commoners believe in the gods. This would provide more faith power, and the more faith power there was, the stronger the gods would be.
Another thing was to spread faith.
When a god conquered an area, the commoners didn't know what god it was or what to do. At this time, the Bible would tell the commoners what to do and how to believe in a new god. It would also let them understand what god they were submitting to.
Zhao Fu didn't burn all of the Bible. If it was an ordinary Ruler, he would definitely burn these books that were detrimental to his rule. He would also list these books as forbidden books and not allow anyone to read them.
He would strengthen his control over the commoners and make them submit to the King's power instead of the gods' power to prevent any rebels.
Zhao Fu had thought about doing this before, but he quickly gave up. This was because the reward was not a Kingdom but the Pantheon, a faction formed by many gods.
Gods needed faith, and that was the foundation of their existence. If you didn't give them faith, how could the gods submit to you? The Bible was the most important thing about faith, so it couldn't be burned.
Zhao Fu also wanted the gods to be powerful, so he also needed faith power. As such, the Bible couldn't be destroyed.
However, the Bible was something that could shake the rule. With the Bible, people would only support the gods, not Zhao Fu, and they wouldn't listen to Zhao Fu. The two sides were in conflict.
However, Zhao Fu had a very good solution, which was to revise the Bible and unify the Bible into the Pantheon.
The core of the content was that the Pantheon submitted to the Pantheon. The Pantheon was an existence that controlled the gods, and the Pantheon was formed by many gods. No matter what god they believed in, they were all gods of the Pantheon, and believing in gods was also believing in the Pantheon.
The rest of the content was just to write that the gods' Saint Realms didn't change.
This way, the ideology would be unified and would prevent division. No matter what god they believed in, they would all believe in the Pantheon, and the Pantheon was the existence that ruled everything.
As long as the Pantheon's status was the highest, Zhao Fu's status would also be the highest. Only then would the people support him and protect him, and he would also be an existence above the gods.
It was similar to the God of Creation, who was in charge of many gods. Even though the people believed in other gods, they were more loyal to the God of Creation.
This strengthened the control of the gods and could also provide faith power to the gods. It could be said that it was killing two birds with one stone.
Otherwise, if he destroyed the Saint Realm, he would encounter all kinds of resistance, first from the gods, then from the people and soldiers. It would be very difficult to implement, unless he used bloody methods.
Zhao Fu wasn't willing to do this unless he had no other choice.
