Chapter 242: Forcing Others to Worship You
Qin wanted to create another planet but he quickly realizes one major problem. To sustain a planet, he needs to use the energy constantly.
Since he doesn't have a source of energy inside his universe, he needs to conserve energy that he got from dual cultivation and use it for sustaining those planets and also use it for the battle especially now that his physical strength has reached True Saint Realm.
Qin walked out of the universe when his cultivation was finished. Upon coming out, he noticed Yue Bin and others talking to the catgirl.
Her name was Soniya, quite a unique name to them. But, naturally, they know she comes from a completely different world. So, it wasn't a surprise.
And, her Nightmare Cat bloodline was quite powerful especially when it is used for an assassination. But, her cultivation was quite low and she didn't have any assassination skills either. So, Liu Bing decided to take her in her wings. With Liu Bing teaching her, Qin found it much more reassuring.
But, he couldn't help but keep her in his arms every single second. He loves patting her head. Although this made other girls were jealous, they didn't oppose it. After all, Soniya was quite a cute girl.
"So, where are we going?" Yue Bin asked.
"Let's go and meet my few little subordinates!" Qin smirked and slowly floated on his sword while holding Soniya in his hand.
"Oh yeah! You did mention something like that but is it really good to forcefully turn someone else into your subordinates?" Yue Bin also floated alongside other girls and asked.
"It doesn't matter. This is the world where the strong prey weak. As for whether they want it or not doesn't matter to me. Anyway, I am not doing what my father did, and being my subordinate is a blessing for them." Qin shook his head and increased his speed.
In just a few hours, they appear in front of a huge compound. There was an ancient-style house in the middle. It was more of a mansion with hundreds of people around the compound.
Inside the compound, there was a middle-aged man who has both of his hands on his head. There was anger, hatred, and helplessness in his eyes.
In front of him, there was a young man whose one arm was chopped off. He was hanged on the walls with several whip marks on his body. His condition was quite worse, covered with blood.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man trembled as the sword in his consciousness trembled as well. He instantly disappeared from the room and appeared in front of Qin. Seeing this man, his killing intent erupted for a moment but extreme pain in his mind made him give up.
"Well, well, that's quite a lot of killing intent. Maybe I should dispose of you right now instead of keeping you." Qin mumbled as he raised his hand.
"Stop! Stop! Please forgive me….. I, no, my entire family do not bore any kinds of hatred against you. Please forgive us!" Seeing his hand, the middle-aged man instantly kneeled in the mid-air and started begging for his forgiveness.
A quirky smile appeared on Qin's lips. He floated in front of the middle-aged man and asked "So, how is your son?"
"That bastard….. is not my son anymore. He is currently being tortured for every evil thing he has done in his life." The middle-aged man carefully selected the word as he slowly spoke.
"You aren't wrong. He is scum but I know the part of the reason is you. After all, you are the one who spoiled him. Anyway, none of this is my business. I came here for some discussions. Or, rather I should say, I am here to give you some benefits."
"You know how strong I am, right?" Qin sighed and instantly changed the topic. From his journey, he learned one basic thing about humans. If you can give them some benefits, you can easily win over them.
So, Qin began to use it from the mortal world to the saint world. As for the main goal, he is not completely sure. This was something that he wasn't just doing because he liked it. For some reason, it seemed to be related to his sword and Xiao Lan also suggested him to do so.
Or, rather how he should do this.
When Qin asked him a question, the middle-aged man clenched his fist. Of course, he knows the young man in front of him is strong, far stronger than anyone he has seen. A few days ago, a sword suddenly appeared in their compound but the next moment that sword multiplied into the exact number of people in their family.
And, then, they entered their forehead. Before that, five of his elders who were also True Saint defended against those swords and ended up dying. After that, the middle-aged man thought his family was going to die.
But, they didn't die. Rather, the sword entered their forehead and the next second, they were informed that now they are someone's subordinates. In just a single day, everyone changed for them. And, it was all because of his own son.
He was mad, angry, frustrated, helpless, even to the point that he cried. He would've killed his own son if not for his wife helping him suppress his anger.
"Yes!" After controlling his emotions, the middle-aged man nodded his head and said.
"Look, don't take this as a misfortune for you. After all, I am still at my prime. I will grow even stronger later. Of course, there is a reason why I made you my subordinates. To be exact, it is the only reason why I did."
"I didn't care about your son so I could have simply killed him but I need followers. Not for the battle, you guys can never help me in the battle. So, the only thing that I want is you and your clan to worship me." Qin spoke while releasing his Sword Intent to intimidate him.
The middle-aged man was indeed feeling the intimidation from the sword intent but he was more shocked by Qin's words.
Worship him? Like gods? He knows what worship means. And, although weak respects strong, they don't worship them. For cultivators, there are no gods or anything. This is why it was so shocking for him.
"I know it is shocking for you. But, this is the only thing you can do for me."
Saying so, Qin opened his palm and an exponential amount of Sword Intent exploded out of his body, combined with the Fire Energy and Space Energy of his new cultivation, it condensed into a powerful sword.
When he erupted his sword intent, the middle-aged man got slapped away. He couldn't help but guard himself with True Essence, hoping to survive. He was seeing his own death in front of him. At this moment, he felt truly helpless.
But, Qin's next words stunned him.
"If you agree to worship me as your god, establish my statues and slowly expand my reputation throughout this place, I will give this sword to you. It is formed out of my own Sword Energy, Fire Energy, and Space Energy."
"If you meditate under it, you might be able to comprehend one of three. And, even if you didn't comprehend anything, you can use it to fight against the Great Saint Realm cultivator. More importantly, this sword gets stronger as my strength increases."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man widened his eyes to the point it could break out any moment. His brain instantly calculated everything in a split second. His knees bent as he kowtows three times in the air and said.
"O' Great Deity, your humble servant greets you!"
Hearing those words, a smile appeared on his lips.
'This bastard truly knows when to give up. He knew if he didn't agree to that or even hesitated, I would've left or worst case, kill them. So, he didn't even hesitate to find praise for me.'
Qin sent the sword to him and said "There is one thing that I have to warn you about. Since you aren't someone who can help me with the battles, I need to get this straight into your head. If you ever thought of betraying me, even once, the sword inside you will destroy your sea of consciousness and kill you."
"Strong bullies weak, this is the eternal rule of our world. So, I won't stop you from using that strength to control this city or even more cities but I still hope you can save it for your trump card. After all, it has its own limit."
"Now that I've said everything, I shall leave."
Saying so, Qin and others left.
After a while, a middle-aged woman appeared next to him and looked at the sword.
"I told you, didn't I? Even if it is slavery, you can still find good things if you search carefully. Now, let's make a plan to spread the influence of our new god."
Hearing his wife's words, the middle-aged man nodded his head and looked in the direction where Qin left.
"He didn't even ask my name. I guess we might never meet again."
