[: Daniel POV :]
As the weeks passed, I could feel a transformation taking place in the city.
Although so were still sceptical of my identity as an immortal god, they could not deny the benefits they had received from .
Word spread quickly, and soon more people began to flock to my side.
The number of female disciples swelled, with more than half a million won and female children joining my sect.
Each woman was gifted with magical talents that would help them in their daily lives.
Lives flourished, and farms yielded bountiful harvests of crops that benefited the entire community.
This newfound prosperity brought joy and happiness to all those who had feared for their future only weeks before.
My quest was nearing completion; I needed but a few thousand more souls to fulfil my calling.
With each passing day, I could see that the quest was almost completed and if i conquered another city, this would be completed.
At long last, I had rounded up the last of my followers from the three cities I had conquered. There were nearly more than half a million in total.
Currently, I was sitting on a throne where I felt a swelling sense of accomplishnt and power.
The personnel from the three cities had gathered and my gaze then shifted to the won I had taken in Velia .
They were all dressed in white gowns that glimred like silver in the sun.
With heads bowed and eyes closed, they seed almost angelic as they awaited their commands from – their Master.
It was truly a sight to behold!
With one gesture, I called for their attention and began to speak again.
"You are my most faithful followers," I said with utmost respect.
"Your duties are not just to serve faithfully, but also to spread the word of our greatness throughout this world."
I looked around the room with satisfaction, my gaze finally settling on Zuke and Luke.
I knew that they had done a great job in managing the city, and I could feel the pride radiating from them.
"Zuke, Luke, Viston," I said. "How is the progress in the city that you managed?"
Zuke answered first with a bow of respect.
"Because of Your Blessings, Master," he said, "most of the male youths have reached a terrifying cultivation base."
I nodded approvingly. It was true that my followers were blessed with powerful cultivation powers, sothing that was beyond what most people dread of achieving in their lifetis.
It seed that every day more people ca to our side and pledged their faith to as an Immortal God.
The two cities under my control were quickly becoming prosperous and powerful kingdoms under my rule.
Even though I had not given much to the male residents, I could have at least given them sothing so that they could beco my soldiers to protect the borders around our city.
''Alright, then tell , how much had they achieved?''
I questioned and I was curious to know how much progress they had made.
With a little of my support, I wonder how much they received.
''Master, the number of males we have in our city is a little over 5 Hundred Thousand or more and as far as I know, 50% of them are at Daybreaker Realm, 30% of them have achieved the Transcended Realm, 20% have managed to break through to the Ascended Realm and 10% have obtained the Ancestral Realm'' Luke explained.
''Considering that they have received a small support from , this can be considered well done.''
I nodded my head. At the sa ti, knowing that I had never used the Vassal Support Function, this was a good job for their side.
Perhaps, they do deserve so rewards. Well, thinking about it, it's not a bad idea.
The sound of Luke's feet landed on the stone floor with a ''click-clack'' and he stood in front of .
When he caught wind of what I had to say, he straightened his back even further than usual so as to listen to properly.
I spoke louder than before,'' Luke, we'll provide additional rewards for them.''
''Since the n under your rule have done an excellent job, I will reward them'', I said.
With a snap of my fingers, storage rings appeared within my hand.
One of the storage rings contained spiritual stones that were ranked red and orange.
Each ring contained trillions of treasures—hundreds of spiritual stones, and another storage ring contained fruits and spiritual plants such as the Golden Apple, Black Star Fruit and even Rainbow Fruit.
In the end, the rings contained enough resources for the males under his care to grow further and much stronger.
''Thank you, Master! I'll make sure not to disappoint you!'' He declared loudly.
To be honest, I wasn't really bothered by how much progress they'd make, but since they were under my rule, I should at least give them a good to feed.
Eventually, I directed my gaze to the supposed rulers of the 2nd city that I had just conquered.
With a start, I realized that they were none other than Dian, Isolde, Gareth and Everard - all victims of Makina's hypnotic techniques.
At so point of ti, I lifted the manipulations casted on them,
And To my surprise, it didn't even take more than a day for them to free themselves from her control and wholeheartedly pledge their loyalty to .
Most impressive of all was when I offered Isolde an Elder position in my new court; however, she refused with a humble bow.
She believed that following in this way would be far more beneficial to both of us.
At this answer, contentnt swelled within ; knowing that she had found her own unique way of serving only added to my joy.
I observed the four of them closely, their expressions revealing a mix of emotions, anticipation, and hesitation.
"Then, how about the four of you? Is there any news that I should be delighted or concerned about?"
I inquired, my curiosity piqued by their secretive looks.
Their exchanged glances were almost conspiratorial, and I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow as I waited for their response.
Dian, eventually, took the initiative, his voice carrying a hint of uncertainty.
"Master, to be honest, what Lord Zuke said aligns with what we were about to convey," he admitted his words hanging in the air, creating a sense of suspense.
He paused, allowing the weight of his statent to sink in before continuing, "However..."
"However what?" I pressed, my voice steady but my curiosity grew with each passing second.
Whatever they were about to reveal appeared to be a matter of concern that had weighed heavily on their minds.
Dian hesitated briefly, and then reluctantly continued, "Recently, there have been conflicts escalating in the neighbouring cities''
''We sent so of our n to investigate the situation and gather information, but sohow, they were caught."
His words hung in the air, carrying a sense of foreboding.
As I absorbed the information, I maintained my composure and began to analyze the situation.
It wasn't surprising that unaided n could be captured in the midst of such conflicts, especially given that they lacked the strength and support that my disciples had received.
"Where did you deploy them?" I inquired, seeking to understand the specifics of the mission.
"I deployed them to the Superior Cities,"
Dian answered, and upon hearing his response, I understood the circumstances that led to their capture.
The Superior Cities still held so old monsters with formidable cultivation skills, which would have posed a significant challenge to the n I had dispatched.
While dealing with such adversaries was as simple as breaking a stick for , I decided to allow these old fools to enjoy their power for a little longer before I intervened to end their lives.
''Master, I apologise for making a mistake! And if that's enough I will take my own life!''
Dian, overwheld with guilt, imdiately offered an apology and expressed his readiness to end his own life as atonent for the perceived failure.
To my surprise, none of the won or n present intervened to stop him.
It seed as though they were in agreent with his choice to take his own life as a form of penance.
"Stop it, Dian," I said firmly, my voice tinged with irritation as I locked my gaze on him, causing him to halt in his tracks.
''Master...?'' His voice quivered as he questioned my decision to spare him.
"Even though you've made a mistake," I continued, my voice softer now, "it's not to the point where you should consider taking your own life''
''You still have important tasks that I need you to fulfil, so don't make a foolish decision."
Dian's eyes welled with emotion as he absorbed my words.
His expression transford as if he had just received the highest form of praise from an idol he greatly admired.
It was clear that my reassurance had a profound impact on him.
