Qi Tianshou raised his hand, cutting off whatever Mikita was about to say.

"Take it if I give it to you. I need you to do some things for me, and this is just the first installment of funds."

Hearing this, Mikita stopped talking. Since it was for handling tasks on his behalf, he would simply take it and get the job done.

"What does Buddha Lord require me to do? Should I acquire more cultivation supplies?"

Qi Tianshou nodded and said, "That is one part of it. On top of the supplies already ordered, add some more precious treasures—as long as they are suitable for planetary and stellar level users, that will suffice."

"Additionally, I need to purchase supplies for those below the apprentice level. I expect to first satisfy the needs of the humans on Gold Soul Planet."

Mikita nodded. As Qi Tianshou listed these requirements, he already had a preliminary plan forming in his mind.

"What else is needed? There are only ten million people on Gold Soul Planet, and the Gold Soul Clan has only ten thousand. That amount of people cannot consume that much capital."

Qi Tianshou was very satisfied with Mikita's working style. Although his talent and strength were mediocre, his efficiency was excellent, and he had his own ideas.

After pondering his plan for a moment, Qi Tianshou spoke.

"Buy planets—a large number of life planets. Of course, you don't need to buy too many at once in the beginning; just acquire them slowly."

"The planetary environment doesn't need to be excellent; as long as it can support human survival, that is enough. If they are slave planets, that would be even better."

Mikita was puzzled by this. Normal people buying life planets prioritized those with pleasant scenery, like Gold Soul Planet. Why was it the opposite for Buddha Lord?

However, he understood that while knowing some things made work easier, knowing too much brought one closer to death.

Therefore, he did not ask for the reason, but instead asked about other purchasing details.

"How many are needed for now? When is the earliest they are needed? Do you need them to be purchased nearby within the same star system?"

Qi Tianshou thought for a moment and said, "Currently, there are eleven people in the Gold Soul Clan above the 7th rank of the planetary level, but with the arrival of cultivation supplies, a batch of people will soon improve their strength."

"Buy ten for now. They don't need to be nearby; the location just needs to be within the territory of the Beihua Empire."

Mikita nodded, calculated in his mind, and said, "Buddha Lord, I previously had eleven life planets under my command, and ten of them have been sold."

"These planets meet your requirements, and since I sold them to planet merchants, they shouldn't have been resold in such a short time. We can still buy them back now, though the price will be twenty percent higher than when I sold them."

Qi Tianshou had not expected such good news.

Mikita knew the situation on the planets he had once ruled best, which would make subsequent arrangements much more convenient. He agreed immediately.

"Let's handle the planets and supplies that way for now. Also, purchase ten C1-class starships, equipped with detectors and B9-class weapons."

After stating his plan and requirements, Qi Tianshou patted Mikita on the shoulder, who was sitting to the side, and said with a smile.

"You should also replace your own weapons and starship so that you can fly back faster in a few days."

Mikita naturally understood what Qi Tianshou meant. Feeling grateful, he responded with a smile.

"Don't worry, Buddha Lord. With money in hand on Mengyu Planet, I can get a better starship today. I guarantee it won't affect the return speed."

"Very well, go handle these matters."

After Mikita left the hotel, only the four of them remained in the room, and the atmosphere had changed slightly from before.

"Buddha Lord, a man claiming to be an external deacon of the Virtual Universe Company approached the three of us today. His name is Weitz, a Domain Lord powerhouse. He intended to recruit us into the Virtual Universe Company."

Qi Jingshi spoke about what they had encountered today, and Qi Shangye added, "He seemed very polite to us. Furthermore, the first thing he asked was whether we were brothers, noting that we all share the surname Qi."

Hearing their words, Qi Tianshou immediately understood the situation. It seemed that in order to curry favor with him, Weitz had stepped forward to win over the three of them.

However, on second thought, all three of them had comprehended a domain while at the 9th rank of the planetary level; they were considered geniuses even within the Beihua Empire.

Even if they entered the Virtual Universe Company, they would be able to stand out, so it was normal for Weitz to want to recruit them.

"I met him earlier today as well. I have already joined the internal ranks of the Virtual Universe Company. He was likely being slightly polite to you because we share the surname Qi."

"You don't need to worry too much. The Virtual Universe Company is a behemoth with unfathomable foundations; they won't do anything to you."

"If you wish to join the Virtual Universe Company, I will support you."

Upon hearing Qi Tianshou's words, the three of them felt relieved. They looked at each other and indicated that they would not join the internal ranks of the Virtual Universe Company.

"If we join the internal ranks of the Virtual Universe Company, we will lose our freedom, especially since we are only at the planetary level and cannot act independently."

"Besides, Buddha Lord has already joined the Virtual Universe Company and will be venturing into the universe in the future. Gold Soul Planet also needs us to watch over it."

Hearing their words, Qi Tianshou thought that his subsequent plans indeed required them to oversee things; after all, their status within the Gold Soul Clan was second only to his own.

"Since you have made your own choices, I will say no more. I also need your help in supporting our clansmen to become stronger, but I will not force you."

Qi Tianshou heard Qi Tianshou's words and quickly said, "Buddha Lord, we are only happy to do things for you. Although I also want to venture into the universe, it is impossible for me to leave our clansmen behind."

"That's right. I also enjoy watching the younger generation in the clan grow stronger and seeing the Gold Soul Clan gradually flourish," Qi Jingshi said, looking at Qi Tianshou earnestly.

Hearing their heartfelt words, Qi Tianshou felt a touch of emotion.

"Since that is the case, I need you to do something important in the coming days."

"Please give your orders, Buddha Lord." Hearing that there was something important, the expressions of the three became serious.

"As you heard just now, I had Mikita buy life planets. Most of these planets are slave planets, or places where people are used as forced labor to make money for the planet lords."

"After you return, first organize the clansmen to head to different planets in separate batches and groups, and have them manage the slaves on those planets."

Qi Tian laid out his plan bit by bit just like that.

What is the fastest way to develop believers?

Naturally, it is to liberate those slaves.

Qi Tian instructed Qi Jingshi and the others that after returning to Gold Soul Planet, they should have those with steady temperaments take the lead, working with the others to act in Qi Tian's name.

There was no need to truly let those slaves escape their plight completely; it was enough to simply give them hope.

As long as the members of the Gold Soul Clan led them to become self-sufficient and spread the story of how Qi Tian had once led the Gold Soul clansmen to save themselves from hardship, ensuring that everyone on Gold Soul Planet no longer feared the threat of wild beasts.

Once the deeds of Qi Tian, the "Buddha Lord," had spread, he would then impart methods for the slaves to grow stronger, provide cultivation resources, and even offer them the opportunity to leave their planets to witness the vast universe.

Bit by bit, he would craft the glorious image of the "Buddha Lord" who saves the world.
