A Comeback: The God-Slaying Movement
Qingding City, Zhu Pengcheng looked at Zhang Ge and asked in a deep voice, "How is the system rollout in Qingding City progressing?"
"Chief, we have largely brought the people of the city under our control," Zhang Ge reported respectfully, bowing deeply.
"Except for a few die-hard fanatics of the God of Light who remain obstinate, everyone else has completed the system binding."
The Dissemination System even in the villages outside the city.
"Very good, well done." Zhu Pengcheng nodded, then his tone became urgent:
"But you must also speed up the planting of high-yield grains. Having grain in hand will give you peace of mind and prevent you from suffering from hunger in the future."
In addition, the prices of grains in the System Store are low, so we should increase our procurement efforts.
"Only when soldiers are well-fed and watered can their bodies improve rapidly, and their training speed can also be increased."
A glint of ambition flashed in his eyes, and his speech quickened:
"Now that the Temple of the God of Light has just been destroyed and the Divine Kingdom is in chaos, we must seize this opportunity to desperately strengthen our power and seize more cities and territories."
"If we do well, we might even have the chance to Jianguo. Then we can collect Energy Points from the people as taxes. With a huge amount of Energy Points in hand, our chances of becoming immortals will be much greater."
"Yes, Chief!" Zhang Ge replied loudly, his face also showing excitement.
They were all bound to the system and were fully aware of the changing situation outside, so they naturally understood the significance of Zhu Pengcheng's plan.
Zhu Pengcheng watched as Zhang Ge turned and left excitedly to carry out his orders, his eyes suddenly becoming somewhat dazed.
A few years ago, he was just a little beggar named Zhu San in Qingding City, and he never imagined that his life would undergo such a dramatic change.
On the day the Temple of the God of Light was destroyed, as he begged along the street, a gold ingot fell into his broken bowl out of thin air.
With this unexpected windfall, he settled down in the city, finally escaping his life of begging, and even changed his name from Zhu San to Zhu Pengcheng.
Even more fortunately, he accidentally obtained the "Body Tempering Foundation Establishment Method" and "Old Farmer Cultivation Method" that Liu Yi had Little Yellow teach him.
At the time, most people in the city did not trust these two Cultivation Method, but Zhu San was the only one who took them seriously.
He cultivated diligently day and night, and his strength advanced by leaps and bounds, successfully breaking through to the Innate Realm.
Just as he was worrying about not having any follow-up Cultivation Method, a System Seed suddenly fell from the sky and landed on him.
After being bound to the Fairness System, he realized the vastness of the world and that the two Cultivation Method he practiced were given to him for free by the system.
I never expected to be so lucky as to be able to start cultivating ahead of time.
At the same time, they finally understood the system's incredible power and the preciousness of Energy Points, and they were extremely eager to use the system's functions and the goods in the store.
He immediately promoted the system with all his might in Qingding City, and with the large amount of Energy Points he had accumulated, he exchanged them for the Body Tempering Realm, Innate Realm, and Divine Sea Realm cultivation Cultivation Method of the Dao Seed Martial Dao Cultivation System.
Unexpectedly, he had exceptional talent for cultivation, and his cultivation progressed rapidly from then on.
Not only did he take over his subordinates and occupy Qingding City, but he also developed an ambition to dominate the world.
The ultimate goal of all this is to earn enough Energy Points.
He firmly believes that as long as one has the Energy Points, becoming an immortal or a god is not a dream.
Thoughts churned in his mind. Zhu Pengcheng gazed into the void and murmured to himself, his voice tinged with a mixture of emotion and determination:
"Father, Mother, your Little San has made something of himself. Our Zhu family will surely prosper in the future. If you are watching over me from heaven, please bless me with a smooth path ahead."
He took a deep breath, a look of relief flashing in his eyes. "The Temple of the God of Light, which committed so many evils back then, has finally been destroyed."
I'm also bound to the Fairness System, giving me the chance to defy fate and potentially even become an immortal or a god in the future.
I now realize how ridiculous it was to blindly believe in God of Light.
A belief is something you choose yourself; what is forcibly imposed upon you is nothing but oppression.
From now on, I will wipe out everything related to the Temple of the God of Light and never let it climb over our heads again.
Qingguang City, Zhu Pengcheng intently observed the city's defenses ahead.
Just as the intelligence reports had indicated, the entire city was completely unprepared, with only four soldiers standing at the city gate.
At this moment, Qingguang City is under the control of Zhao Qing, a fanatical follower of the God of Light, and sacrifices to the God of Light are still being held in the city.
"Kill!"
At Zhu Pengcheng's command, he spurred his horse and charged toward the city gate.
Ten thousand troops followed closely behind, raising clouds of dust and creating an awe-inspiring spectacle.
These 10,000 soldiers are all skilled martial artists. Not only are they all bound to the system, but they have also undergone rigorous training using the System Store's training methods.
"Enemy attack! Run!"
"Quickly, go find Lord Zhao to save us!"
"If we don't run now, we're doomed!"
The guards, upon catching a glimpse of the massive, dark army approaching, were terrified and fled in all directions, their legs trembling.
Zhu Pengcheng led his army into Qingguang City without lifting a finger, and following the route he had scouted in advance, headed straight for Zhao Qing's location.
"You audacious sinner! How dare you invade my Qingguang City! Such blasphemous acts will surely be severely punished by the God of Light! Surrender now and come with me to the God of Light to beg for forgiveness!"
Upon hearing the report, Zhao Qing rushed over with three thousand men to stop them, shouting and yelling.
Zhu Pengcheng sneered upon hearing this, "The God of Light is nothing but a false god. He was beaten to a pulp and fled long ago. Only fools like you still regard him as a god."
Even if he weren't here, even if he were standing right in front of me, I'd still chop him down without hesitation.
Brothers, charge with me! Slaughter these fools and take Qingguang City!
Before he finished speaking, he had already brandished his long sword and charged forward on horseback. The blade flashed with a cold light, and with a single stroke, he cut Zhao Qing, who had no martial arts foundation, in two.
He then led his troops in a sweeping attack, and the three thousand enemy soldiers were slaughtered in an instant.
Covered in blood, Zhu Pengcheng quickly ordered, "Zhang Ge, Shi Kai, each of you take three thousand men to sweep through the entire city. Anyone who resists, kill them without mercy."
"Yes, leader!" Zhang Ge and Shi Kai answered in unison and turned to leave.
In an instant, shouts of battle Qingguang City, and the glint of swords illuminated the streets and alleys.
An hour later, the entire city was completely under control.
Zhu Pengcheng walked to the Temple of the God of Light in the city, looked at the magnificent palace, and a cold smile appeared on his face:
"Guards, tear down this Temple of the God of Light! That false god, like a stray dog, plagues the people of the Divine Kingdom and doesn't deserve even a single offering."
"No! You mustn't do that! That's the Temple of the God of Light! You'll be punished by the gods!"
Upon seeing this, the fanatical followers of the God of Light in the city rushed forward, crying out in fear and anger, to stop him.
Zhu Pengcheng scoffed at this, his eyes sweeping over them coldly:
"A bunch of stubborn fools. Just open your eyes and see if your God of Light dares to come out and punish me."
If any of you dare to step forward and block my way again, don't blame me for being ruthless and merciless."
No sooner had the words been spoken than the soldiers picked up their tools and began dismantling the Myojin Temple.
Not long after, the once-thriving Temple of the God of Light was completely demolished.
Even the newly erected God of Light was toppled and smashed to pieces.
The fanatical followers of the God of Light watched helplessly as the idols were toppled and the temple was destroyed, and they were immediately plunged into despair.
Many people were so enraged that they fainted on the spot; others collapsed to the ground, screaming hoarsely at the ruins:
"This is blasphemy! You will surely be punished by God!"
They gazed at the ruins of the Temple of the God of Light and the shattered statues, their faces filled with despair and grief, as if the faith that sustained them had completely collapsed at that moment.
