If the production model regulates the behavior of the people of the Dalom Empire, then the Church of the Four-Winged Dragon God regulates people's thoughts, not only twisting them into a rope, but also making them loyal and hard-working.

It has to be said that religion is a very effective tool to control people's thoughts. The first step in shaping a modern country is to shape a common historical memory. Just like if a country can resist the invasion of foreign enemies, the invasion event will be a catalyst for awakening national consciousness.

First of all, the church divided the history of each country on Tabi Star into two periods, with Chloe unifying the planet as the dividing point and transforming history.

Zhang Han saw that the most common memories in Erica's mind were those of religious texts, which made him dumbfounded.

The previous history was old history. This history was dark and ignorant. Human kingdoms were in civil war with each other and were torn apart. All humans lived in oppression and suffering. The belief in false gods spread all over the world.

Because of people's unbelief at that time, not only did the world become filled with war and pain, but it also allowed evil demons to gain nourishing soil and grow in secret.

However, the benevolent God still loves humans and sent his daughter to the human world. This daughter is Chloe. Zhang Han. Seeing this, I couldn't stand it for the first time. I just washed it. Can anyone believe it?

Astrologers' Association took refuge in the devil and became the evil accomplice of the devil in destroying the world. They led the devil's lackeys to start Consume the entire planet. A large number of humans were Consume by the devil, and the catastrophe began.

At this time, Princess Chloe, who returned from Death Forest, brought decisive power, and the followers of God fought against the devil under her command.

Finally, on the endless grassland of the highlanders, the humans united under the command of Princess, together with the followers of the gods, began a decisive battle with the demons. At the critical moment of the battle, the Dragon God appeared and gave the demon and his accomplices a fatal blow, completely defeating them.

Since then, mankind has been united under the Queen's command and peace has been restored.

The mortals were saved, but humans were not grateful to the Queen and the gods. They were jealous of the Queen's achievements and established a secret assassination organization to try to assassinate the Queen, the co-owner of mankind and the daughter of the gods.

The god was angry. His daughter saved the world, but was despicably assassinated. The Day of Judgment has arrived, and His wrath falls from the sky to punish the unscrupulous mortals in the world.

Fortunately, the assassination did not kill the great empress. The empress begged bitterly and persuaded her father to give mortals another chance.

The gods couldn't stand their daughter's pleas and agreed to the queen's request. At this point, mortals were saved once again.

In Erica's memory, this is the origin of mortal sin propagated in the church.

Therefore, in order that the Day of Judgment will never come again, every mortal must work hard, believe in the Four-Winged Dragon God, fight for the gods, and die for the gods, thereby atone for the sins committed in the past.

The church also encourages people to be honest, trustworthy, faithful to family and childbearing, and hard work and intelligence are the highest virtues.

Laziness, betrayal, and unbelief are the behaviors that are most severely punished by the church. People with such behaviors will be sent to the church for trial. The task of the judge is to sentence the sinner.

The power of the judge in this regard is very great, ranging from the death penalty to reform through labor, it all depends on the judge's sentence.

The church is the most invincible in the Darom Empire, the most inseparable is Hatchery, and the most feared is the Inquisitor.

After reading Erica's memories, Zhang Han was greatly shocked. He never thought that Tabi Star Humans, whom he didn't care about at all, had developed far beyond his imagination.

After looking at Erica, who was kneeling on the ground and praying to herself devoutly. While feeling emotional, Zhang Han also thought that if Tabi Star Humans worked so hard, how could it be that a weak person is trying his best to survive?

After touching Erica's head with Psionics, Zhang Han left. He planned to return to Swarm Network first to see what happened.

After feeling the powerful presence leave, Erica became even more excited when her head was touched. She felt that this was the Dragon God's praise for her piety, and she silently vowed in her heart to work harder.

As soon as Swarm Network entered, Isa, Tehua Cerebrate, and thousands of Hive Swarm Consciousnesss immediately surrounded them. They cheered and excited, welcoming the return of Overmind, and the whole Swarm Network was filled with joy.

"Great Overmind, Isa has always believed that you will come back..." Isa was very excited. This was the most excited Zhang Han had ever seen her. She was even more excited than when he said he was leaving.

In fact, Zhang Han still couldn't figure out what happened at this moment. After all, he was killed instantly by Shroud weapon.

"What happened? What happened during my absence? Why do I feel that many things have become different?"

"Yes, great Overmind, I will explain in detail what happened recently..." If she could shed tears in the consciousness space, Isa must have burst into tears at this time. She stretched out the spiked tentacles on her head and handed all kinds of information to Zhang Han.

"Overmind, please believe in your Swarm, Swarm will definitely protect your Overmind."

Zhang Han still didn't understand what Isa meant, so he stretched out his hand and pressed it on the data packet, and the information inside quickly poured into his consciousness.

Soon, Zhang Han saw the reason. It was Shroud weapon that shattered his consciousness. The moment he turned into glass shards of consciousness, Isa reacted and extracted a large amount of Swarm's mental power, grabbing every piece of Zhang Han's consciousness like a spider web.

At that time, many Swarm units were still working, flying, or in dangerous underground areas. This wave of forced extraction of mental power caused some casualties.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Han saw Isa's efforts to awaken Zhang Han, stopping all activities of Swarm, transforming the mortal empire on Tabi Star, using everyone, and splicing his consciousness bit by bit.

This project is very difficult, just like picking up grains of sand from the ocean and piecing them together in sequence.

Judging from the results, as Isa said, Swarm protected his own Overmind.

The following information is that Overmind Zhang Han killed everyone, expanded Hatchery little by little, and reached an agreement with Kundera, and now it has captured Kadian.

There was also a small episode in the middle. Johnny, the idle boy arranged by him, played a role in turning decay into magic. He established a huge force within the Balance Star Territory and used the power of these civilizations to attack themselves.

The effect of twenty mimic insects is equivalent to a fleet of millions of Swarm. It can be said that it is a low investment and a super high return.

Of course, it's not just good news, there's also bad news. One of the council members in Stellaris Council, the fleet of the Sapphire Civilization, led by a Titan with extremely strong defense, is heading towards Tabi Star.

They arrived just five days later.

As soon as I woke up, I had to face challenges. Zhang Han felt a little used to it. When I woke up for the first time, Hatchery was attacked by a herd of beasts. The second time I had to face the crisis of the Psionics sea...

Anyway, we have fought a lot against the wind, and this one is no less important.
