Chapter 495 - 495 Classification System
495 Classification System
The villagers didn’t know what had happened. They only knew that the Holy Infant had appeared again and blessed them.
Butcher and the others stood guard at the village entrance. Lin Qiye noticed them the moment he returned.
“What’s going on? Why are there so many demons and fiends gathered here?”
Lin Qiye appeared out of thin air, frightening them.
“My, My Lord!”
They looked at Lin Qiye in shock. They had not sensed his aura before he suddenly appeared.
Lonemoon walked forward and stared at Lin Qiye.
“Did you come back from there?” She pointed at the end of the horizon.
“Yes.”
Lin Qiye nodded. He knew everyone had their doubts, so he casually replied, “I’ve had a breakthrough recently, so I went to settle some trouble.”
Everyone was stunned. Causing such a huge commotion was just a little trouble?
Butcher was stunned. Chang Shi and Hou Tu were even more dumbfounded.
Could it be that in His Lord’s eyes, only Immortal Level existences could cause him a little trouble?
They wanted to ask for more details but knew the difference between them. They could only suppress their curiosity.
Lonemoon, on the other hand, did not think so much. She immediately asked, “What happened there just now? It seems that many Immortal Level experts have appeared.”
The Seven-Headed Demon had seven separate Immortal Level auras. Lin Qiye also revealed two auras because of his Outer Dao Dharma and the Thunder God Aspect.
Therefore, there were at least nine Immortal Level experts in their eyes.
“You don’t have to worry about this. I’ve already severely injured that fellow. There shouldn’t be any problems for the time being.”
Lin Qiye didn’t explain much. He didn’t want to disclose the existence of demons too early to avoid fear.
Seeing his nonchalant appearance, Butcher and the others were full of admiration.
To remain so calm after severely injuring an Immortal Level expert! It was likely that only their Lord could do it.
“You haven’t answered me yet. Why are there so many demons here?” Lin Qiye asked again.
Butcher and the others quickly explained, “My Lord, when you were fighting there, I’m afraid the Holy King City territory felt your power. The demons in the nearby mountains don’t know what’s going on, so they’re all coming to seek your protection.”
“Oh?”
Lin Qiye was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he understood.
Under the pressure of such might, how could the demons who hadn’t even reached the Incarnation Realm not be afraid?
“Lord, should we take those guys in now?” Chang Shi asked.
When Lin Qiye had given them the mission, he mentioned some follow-up plans.
One of them was the plan to subdue all the demons and fiends under the jurisdiction of the Holy King City.
“Yes, why not? It’s such a good opportunity.”
Lin Qiye smiled.
According to his plan, it was estimated that it would take about half a year to subdue all the demons under the jurisdiction of the Holy King City.
Now that such a situation had occurred, he could be considered to have achieved his goal in advance.
“You guys, make arrangements to receive them. Once the tabulating is done, we can enter the third stage.”
“Yes!”
Butcher and his men immediately began to move.
The plan Lin Qiye had given them was divided into three stages.
The first stage was to recruit some fiends related to them, then set up an organization and carry out overall planning.
The second stage was to issue missions so the fiends who joined could obtain incense from the commoners and give them sufficient benefits.
In the third stage, the fiends who joined first would have a taste of the benefits. Then, they would be asked to spread the news and attract more to join.
In the future, they would be reorganized so the fiends who joined would give their absolute loyalty.
The tabulation was the establishment of a class system.
Different levels of power had different privileges, and the benefits they could enjoy were also different.
According to the degree of contribution, the classification was as below.
[Normal: Responsible for a family and enjoy a family’s incense.]
[Incense Master: Responsible for five families and enjoying the incense from them.]
[Banner Lord: Responsible for ten families…]
[Hall Leader: Responsible for fifty families…]
[Altar Master: Responsible for a hundred families…]
At this stage, there were no restrictions on the realm of all demons. As long as they were willing to work hard, they had a chance to be promoted to Altar Master.
Their duties were to repair the buildings and protect the residents they were responsible for. Those who wanted to earn extra money could also go for delivery.
There were still higher levels.
[Chapter Leader: Responsible for 500 families. (The minimum realm required is Golden Core Realm. As there are so many incense offerings, there is no way to absorb them at a low realm.)]
[Protector: Responsible for 2,000 families. (The minimum realm required is Nascent Soul Realm for the same reason as above.)]
[Elder: Responsible for 5,000 families. (The minimum realm required is Embodier Realm for the same reason as above.)
Those above these levels could be independent and be responsible for managing a piece of land.
Their position was Sect Leader, who is responsible for ten thousand families. (Minimum requirement: Incarnation Realm.)
The last level was Little Saint. They will be enshrined next to Lin Qiye’s statue in the main hall of the Holy Infant City God Temple.
They are Lin Qiye’s assistants, and their status were second only to his.
One had to be extremely strong and make high contributions to be selected.
They didn’t need to be in charge of the people’s daily lives, but they had to be at Lin Qiye’s disposal at all times.
The missions they would do are also complicated.
However, once selected, the benefits were equally exaggerated. They could share a small portion of the incense offered by all the people.
Two months after the incident with the Seven-Headed Demon, all the fiends under the jurisdiction of the Holy King City rushed to Tata Village one after another.
Butcher and Lonemoon were in charge of intimidating the fiends and preventing them from creating chaos.
Chang Shi and Hou Tu were in charge of organizing and splitting the fiends into different areas.
After everything was settled, they announced the third phase of the mission and the class system.
On the day the news was announced, the fiends were excited.
The newly joined fiends rubbed their hands in excitement and immediately threw themselves into the group of helping the people.
As for the fiends who had joined earlier, many were secretly celebrating that they had gained the upper hand.
“Hahaha! I told you there’s nothing wrong with submitting to Lord Holy Infant earlier! This time, I can become a Hall Master!”
“I’ve really suffered a great loss. If I had known earlier, I would have put in more effort and be like you now!”
Some had helped the villagers earlier and gained a lot, while the lazy ones were full of regret.
“It’s not too late to work hard now. Those guys who came later started slower. We can go further!”
The fiends understood.
And so, they used all their strength and madly accepted the missions as if they were on steroids.
The villagers’ idle land was full of crops, so the fiends gathered to cultivate the barren land.
The villagers were naturally happy to accept their help. After all, it was the fiends who helped them. They only needed to offer incense and reap the rewards.
In less than a month, almost all the barren land that could be cultivated in the villages’ territory had become fertile.
They would open canals to direct the water and build dams and canals.
All the related facilities and buildings were enthusiastically taken over by the fiends.
As more grain was planted, part of the land was used to plant fruit trees. The remaining land was turned into ranches, rearing cows, sheep, and horses.
The southern region of the Holy King City had transformed. The degree of prosperity was many times greater than that of the capital.
…
Saint King City, in the City Lord’s mansion.
A white-haired middle-aged man looked at the report in his hand. His face was so dark that water was about to drip out.
Inside the hall, many influential people sat on both sides.
“City Lord, isn’t that Holy Infant City God Temple being too arrogant recently?”
“That’s right. All the fiends around him obeyed him like dogs. They’re all running to help those countryside bumpkins. The citizens of the capital are starting to envy those guys outside!”
“We have to punish that Temple Master! Otherwise, where would we put our face?”
The hall was filled with angry voices.
There were also people sitting in the corner, silent.
They were more rational people. They knew that these guys making noises were just jealous of the results.
They were quarreling here so that the City Lord would step forward and take some benefits from the hands of the Lord Holy Infant.
