"Kabuto Yakushi, I want you to mobilize the people to mine ore. Leave some behind to forge weapons, and sell the rest."
"Starting today, you are the Kingdom's Minister of Finance. Make sure the treasury is filled as soon as possible."
If he wanted the country to achieve anything, funding was indispensable.
"Yes."
Kabuto Yakushi bowed and carefully withdrew.
"Someone, inform the citizens that this afternoon, I will wipe out Sinful Paradise. Anyone brave enough may come and watch."
After Kabuto Yakushi left, Lin Qi issued the order.
If he wanted Faith Points to increase quickly, he needed to expand his influence in the hearts of the citizens.
Letting them witness his power firsthand was undoubtedly the best choice.
That afternoon.
Lin Qi walked out of the Royal Palace, with citizens silently following behind him.
As he proceeded, more and more residents joined the procession behind him.
By the time they reached the town where Sinful Paradise was located, several thousand citizens had gathered behind Lin Qi.
"This is where a country's bandits gather?"
Lin Qi looked at the filthy, chaotic land before him and slowly raised his hand.
A sphere of lightning condensed in his palm.
The lightning sphere grew larger and larger until it blotted out the sky.
"Go!"
Feeling that it was about enough, Lin Qi hurled the lightning sphere, over a hundred meters tall, into the center of the town.
"Boom!"
Lightning raged as a mushroom cloud rose from the ground.
The deafening explosion rang in everyone's ears. They covered their ears in pain and stared in shock toward the town.
"With just one strike, he destroyed the entire town. His Majesty the King is truly a god," the citizens exclaimed in shock.
"The criminals of Sinful Paradise... they're just gone?"
It all felt so unreal.
