The Holy Daughter Writ was to help Great Qin choose women with Phoenix Qi, and each region had to offer at least ten of them. Of course, Great Qin could not reveal its plan to collect Phoenix Qi, so those who met the requirements of the Holy Daughter Writ could not reveal their Phoenix Qi.
Qin's requirements were that the women had to be between 12 and 45 years old, which was quite a big age range. Zhao Fu had wanted to set the age range to be between 18 and 30 years old, and it would be best if they were virgins. Only then would he be able to reconcile with Qin's identity.
However, under Xianru's persuasion, Zhao Fu found that he was just like ordinary people, and he was bound by worldly morality. As an adult, he should only care about his own interests, while children cared about right and wrong. This was how the world worked, and as a King, he had to prioritize Qin's interests.
What Qin needed was Phoenix Qi, and as long as they could provide it, he did not care about anything else. It did not matter what history said, as history was written by those who succeeded.
Apart from the age range, there was another requirement, which was that the women had to be beautiful, and they had to be extremely beautiful. Ordinary women did not need to be beautiful, as the more beautiful they were, the more Phoenix Qi they would have.
Moreover, the aristocratic families had to offer a woman from the Main Family, as they were aristocratic families and had Fate Legacies. It was very likely that a woman from the Main Family would have Phoenix Qi.
At the same time, Zhao Fu also wanted to take them as hostages. Aristocratic families were much more powerful than ordinary people, and it was always good to have more restrictions.
Whoever became a Saintess would be greatly beneficial to their family and aristocratic families. Not only would they directly belong to Qin and receive Qin's protection, but they would also receive Qin's support.
Without any benefits, how could anyone become a Saintess willingly? In the early stages, it was mainly voluntary, but in the later stages, it would not be so troublesome, and they could directly plunder through war. Since these ordinary people dared to oppose Qin, Zhao Fu did not care about them.
As for the women who became Saintesses, they would be imprisoned in the palace for the rest of their lives.
As for the aristocratic families, unless they were conquered by powerful forces, they would not submit. However, Qin would treat them even more cruelly than aristocratic families, as they were aristocratic families and had to be treated differently.
Of course, if they surrendered willingly, Qin would treat them well.
After carefully discussing all kinds of relevant matters, Qin also began to officially issue two kinds of orders to the public. It was like a meteorite falling into the sea, setting off huge waves and shaking the whole world.
"Qin is too barbaric and overbearing. If he doesn't join, he'll die. He even wants every region to offer him beauties. He's the only person in the world who dares to do something like this. Does he really think that he's an emperor and wants to build a huge harem?"
"Also, we need those aged between 12 and 45. Shouldn't everyone in this age group be on the list? He's too much of a beast and too much of a scum. "
Everyone's original impression of Qin was that he was cruel and bloodthirsty. Now, two more impressions were added: barbaric, domineering, and licentious.
Now, Qin's reputation was completely ruined. Although everyone was resentful, no one dared to say no. Compared to the resentment in their hearts, they were more afraid of Qin. If they didn't obey, they would slaughter the whole district.
How could they dare to say anything? If they said that they would be suppressed by absolute power and treated inhumanely, they would no longer have any illusions about Qin. The merciless killing had proved that Qin wasn't kind or merciful, and he definitely wouldn't let them off.
At this moment, many people resented the ordinary people who had participated in the battle of Guanyang. Originally, Qin had been competing with the other factions, but ordinary people had joined in. Now, Qin had turned his anger onto everyone, and no one would have an easy time.
Now, they had to join Qin's faction, or else they would be attacked by other people who had joined Qin's faction. If the Undead Disaster attacked, they would be expelled, and it would be almost impossible for them to survive.
Under Qin's threat, many people had already submitted. The northern side's factions that had started to oppose Qin didn't have much confidence anymore, and a small portion of people wanted to surrender to Qin.
The ordinary people hurriedly tried to think of ways to join Qin's faction or obtain Qin Medallions. As for Holy Daughter Medallions, every region had at least ten of them. These ten Qin Medallions were not compulsory, and they were voluntary.
This was because they couldn't be forced. If they didn't want to, they could just die and go to another region or not enter the Heaven Awaken World. What could they do to them? Why would they give up their bodies for a region that had nothing to do with them?
In the beginning, they would rely on the benefits to attract them, but in the future, when the real world was devoured, they would no longer be able to do anything about it.
If a large family wanted to join Great Qin, they had to offer up a woman from the main family. This was compulsory, and large families were different from ordinary people. They had foundations, and Great Qin could threaten them. If they did not want to be destroyed, someone had to bear the fate of the entire family. As such, this was compulsory.
Zhao Fu didn't think too much about this because it was Xianru who had suggested it. Zhao Fu thought about it and felt that there weren't any disadvantages to it. It was all for Qin's sake, so he agreed.
Xianru was naturally quite happy that Zhao Fu agreed with her. This was the type of person she wanted – someone who wasn't bound by anything and only worked for the most powerful Kingdom. Only such a person would be able to establish a truly peerless Dynasty.
Xianru didn't care too much about the ordinary people and large families, as they weren't Qin's subjects and would obstruct Qin's faction. As such, there was no need to care about their lives and deaths; all Zhao Fu had to do was use them up.
… …
After hearing about the two decrees that Qin had issued, a high-ranking official was so angry that he slammed the table and said, "This Legatee Qin is simply too lawless. He's so domineering and wants countless people's women to play with. He's a tyrant and incapable ruler, and if the world fell into his hands, how could it have a good life?"
A chubby middle-aged man sighed and said, "Even if he's like this, what can we do about him? We can reduce the scale of the Undead Disaster, but we won't be able to stop it. It'll be very difficult to gather so many people this time, and more importantly, Qin has made us his targets.
"All of our regions' factions will be cleared out, which will be a great loss for us. We won't be able to control our regions in the future, and this will have a great impact on us."
