Time passed unknowingly, and the dark clouds completely dissipated, revealing the afterglow of the setting sun.
The gray giant hand of Ling Kong vanished, leaving only a faint sigh that echoed through the ground before it was entirely carried away by the wind.
Only Xiar remained in the sky, a brilliant purple light shining above him, forming a dazzling river of stars that seemed to obscure the sun!
The light flowed and shimmered, so bright that it was blinding. In the eyes of all who witnessed it, it left an impression of brilliance that was indelible—divine radiance that was overwhelming!
"Source Lord, it turns out he truly possesses god-like power!" Countless people who beheld the scene felt their initial awe for the strong transform into a subtle faith in divinity.
The comment section of Magic Web fell silent; what used to refresh dozens or even hundreds of messages every minute now saw no one speaking.
The brutal battle against the Insect Beasts was within their comprehension, but the earlier purple figure shimmering amidst the dark clouds, the giant hand that descended from above, and the shockwave that swept across thousands of meters far exceeded their understanding.
No matter how they imagined it, they could not fathom what kind of formidable power could change the world in an instant like this.
It was precisely because they could not comprehend it that they felt awe and began to worship it as divine, much like ancient peoples revered countless natural phenomena!
Xiar indifferently returned to Leviathan. The earlier gray giant hand was not from the Queen of Thunder but rather from its master, who could very well be the first true god to act in the history of True God Cult.
That individual had gradually taken control of True God Cult, with the Tree of Life beginning to serve as its Main Totem, propelling him to become one of the top-tier powers among the Fourth Level.
This process would not take long!
However, he did not feel intimidated by his opponent; the previous battle had been intentionally spread across Magic Web for millions to witness this moment.
The effect was remarkable; the progress of Firefly's Light of Belief surged by 5%, successfully surpassing the halfway mark and reaching 70%!
As the saying goes, deities naturally require worship from people.
Without miracles, no matter how powerful one may be, it is impossible to have many followers. However, by intentionally creating miracles, he showcased his astonishing abilities to millions, who then began to worship him as a god.
This scene attracted even more viewers than when he suppressed tens of thousands of Barbarians.
At that time, only hundreds of thousands witnessed it, but this moment was seen by millions!
Achieving this was undoubtedly aided by the promotion of the Magic Web. The price of a Personal Terminal that could log into the Magic Web was shockingly low.
The standard version cost only 50 Copper Coins, with a limit of one purchase per person. It was practically being sold at a loss, not even covering one-fifth of the cost—completely a losing business (1 Gold Coin = 10 Silver Coins = 1000 Copper Coins).
Even the slightly better Adventure Version only required 1 Gold Coin, barely breaking even with costs.
The Personal Terminal contained Source Crystal Fragments and some unique materials capable of connecting to mental energy. If sold specifically to nobles, the standard version would easily fetch at least 10 Gold Coins!
The widespread sale of Personal Terminals allowed Magic Web users to exceed ten million, with no duplicate or fake accounts—one account represented one individual!
If a user encountered trouble, they could choose whether to pass on their Personal Terminal account to friends or family in their final moments. Alternatively, they could set up an heir in advance, ensuring that the Source Points and other wealth within could still be accessed.
This was because the Magic Web was bound to mental energy; each person's mental power was unique and surpassed any identification methods from their past lives—be it ID cards, fingerprints, or even DNA—by an entire era!
With the help of the Magic Web, this live broadcast captivated millions, who were awed and worshipped by the attacks of his miracle class, unknowingly contributing to the Light of Belief.
It was evident that the leader of the True God Cult had not yet fully inherited the Tree of Life; this time, it was merely a test to teach him a lesson. If he could be made to submit, that would be even better.
Unfortunately, they were completely unaware of the Magic Web's strength and were instead futilely enhancing Xiar's power.
"Return," Xiar commanded as he returned to Leviathan, simultaneously rewarding the participants.
The rankings for the top one hundred were confirmed, and rewards for those ranked from 10,000th to 101st were instantly distributed. In addition to Source Points Reward, these advancing candidates received an extra reward: eligibility to join the Insect Beast Legion.
This meant they could become part of Xiar's direct forces, enjoying better treatment than the City Guard and fighting for him in various campaigns!
The Top One Hundred emerged from over two hundred thousand participants, ready to control Insect Beasts in the most prominent buildings of Source City during battles.
At that time, all the powerful nobles of Source City would be present to watch, including the ruler of Source City himself appearing in the audience!
Participating in the Beast Arena not only represented honor but also brought substantial income, as betting would be opened during battles. All spectators could place bets, including those watching through the Magic Web.
Every participant who won would receive a share of the betting pool, and given the massive stakes involved, this amount would not be insignificant!
…………
The next morning at nine o'clock, another general meeting was held in an official Spiritual Space of the Magic Web. All senior executives were present, including those responsible for other cities hundreds of kilometers away.
Spiritual Space is a special technique of Magic Web, akin to the Virtual Projection found in science fiction, allowing individuals to appear in a virtual space with a virtual body, accessible as long as one possesses a Personal Terminal.
Of course, this Spiritual Space consumes a significant amount of Source Power at all times, which is why it is reserved solely for official high-level meetings. No matter how wealthy or powerful an ordinary person may be, they are not qualified to enter.
Unlike previous occasions, this time not only the city lords from various major cities were present, but also the captains of various legions and the Bishops of Source Cult (who oversee the religious affairs of a city) were all in attendance.
Under Xiar, military, political, and religious powers are separated into three distinct entities. These three institutions operate independently yet intersect with one another, allowing for collaboration while also preventing certain forms of centralization.
As for legislative power, it is naturally under his direct control. Periodically, he allows individuals from various levels to participate in the legislative process, ultimately deciding which proposals will be enacted.
Though still somewhat authoritarian and unilateral, this approach is well-suited to the current circumstances.
"The first task of this meeting is to implement Currency Source Pointization! What we mean by Currency Source Pointization is to replace all forms of currency with Source Points!"
In the vast virtual conference hall, Xiar sat on a high platform while Warner, expressionless, presented the agenda for this meeting.
"Apologies, but the Personal Terminal has not yet been fully distributed to everyone..." the mayor of Suntown City raised his hand to speak.
This was indeed true; although the Personal Terminal was sold at a loss, many ordinary people were reluctant to purchase it. As a result, the number of users was less than half of the total Population. Additionally, some individuals were standard illiterates who simply did not understand various explanations.
"This is a mandatory implementation, not up for discussion!" Warner scanned the room and emphasized his point before adding, "The standard version will be completely free; anyone aged one year or older can receive it for free!"
