"How is this possible? How could this be?"
Even though they had been captured and suppressed in a corner of the Haoyue Divine Hall, the ruling class of the Eternal Empire, led by Emperor Yongheng, were still incredulous, murmuring in a daze.
They found it impossible, believing such a thing should not have happened.
Their Eternal Empire was so powerful, unmatched for millions of years, so how could they have possibly lost? And lost so miserably, so quickly, so bizarrely!
The periphery of the Eternal Continent was clearly protected by a world barrier system, constructed using their most advanced defense technology. Internally, it was equipped with antimatter, spatial, and even the most powerful law weapons.
Yet, how were they so easily invaded and swiftly subdued?
Many weapons hadn't even been deployed yet.
Thus, besides disbelief, they also felt a sliver of resentment, considering gods like Jin Xinxin to be despicable and their victory dishonorable.
However, unsure of the attitude of these gods who had captured them, they dared not openly curse.
"As far as I know, you are the highest-ranking individuals in the entire Eternal Empire, and none of you seem to be younger than eight hundred years old. Even a pig living for eight centuries would possess considerable intelligence.
I hope you won't feign ignorance later.
The fact that I haven't killed you directly means I wish to negotiate with you. But don't push your luck; my not killing you doesn't mean I wouldn't dare to.
Previously, you sent people to disrupt our missionary work, didn't you?
You even killed many of our believers.
We hadn't even had direct conflict, yet you dared to treat us this way. If direct conflict were to occur, who knows what would happen? To ensure the safety of my sister and her believers, I could only strike first.
I hope you can understand.
Whether you understand or not is irrelevant.
After all, I am the blade, and you are the fish."
Jin Xinxin raised his eyebrows and chuckled mockingly before waving his hand, dispelling the suppression on them, and continued:
"I won't waste words with you. My sister and I have a very simple goal: to spread our faith throughout the universe. Aside from faith, we are not interested in anything else, such as resources or power.
So, you should understand what I mean.
I can let you go, and you can remain in your original positions, unchanged. All you need to do from now on is to fully open your borders, allowing missionaries from my Sun God Cult and Haoyue God Cult to enter your territories and preach, and to provide a certain level of protection to all believers, ensuring they are not harmed.
Of course, if you are willing to help us with our missionary work, you are also welcome. You will receive the same benefits as the missionaries, such as the method of becoming a god, or the method of opening a divine kingdom, and so on.
I believe everyone present is intelligent.
Do not disappoint me."
Having said that, Jin Xinxin closed his eyes and lightly tapped his Haoyue Throne with his left index and middle fingers, waiting quietly for their reply. The Haoyue Divine Hall was silent except for the sound of his fingers tapping the Haoyue Throne, each tap striking the hearts of Emperor Yongheng and the others like a heavy hammer, filling them with both fear and indecision. They knew they couldn't truly refuse, or refusal would likely mean death. Yet, they were reluctant to yield. After all, they were the ones who used to conquer other civilizations at will; they were the ones who used to sit on the Haoyue Throne. Now, their roles had suddenly reversed.
Both physically and mentally, it was difficult to accept this change immediately.
"While I have ample time, it's not for you to waste. If you're unwilling, then forget it."
In less than three minutes, Jin Xinxin lost patience.
Those below, reacting promptly and fearing that Jin Xinxin intended to kill them to silence them, immediately cried out their willingness to comply. However, it was already too late.
Jin Xinxin flicked out over a hundred streaks of silver light.
They entered the depths of their true spirits, transforming into slave imprints.
That's right, it was the same technique his mother had used back then. Slave imprints were truly incredibly effective. Unlike Buddhist salvation, where the saved individual loses their self-awareness, slave imprints allow them to retain their self-awareness; their personalities remain the same. The only difference is that they are utterly incapable of resisting their master; they will do whatever their master commands, unable to resist or even conceive of resistance.
Of course, this applies to the weaker ones.
It's not as effective when dealing with beings at the supreme god realm.
However, it posed no problem whatsoever for these individuals. Although they could live for a very long time and possessed technologies for resurrection, they themselves had not cultivated, nor could they touch upon laws. In essence, they were inferior to even lower-level gods. Therefore, implanting slave imprints on them, along with additional restrictions, was perfectly fine and would absolutely not backfire.
After that, Jin Xinxin naturally felt no need to be polite. They had refused a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, and it served them right.
Soon, he laid out a comprehensive plan for them.
He instructed them to execute it accordingly.
Following this, he naturally released them, allowing them to return to the Eternal Continent and resume their rule over the Eternal Empire. Simultaneously, through them, he commanded other higher civilizations, which were weaker than them, to relay the orders down through the ranks. The number of personnel that could be mobilized soared, and the work progressed with incredible speed!
Work that would have originally taken ten years.
Was completed in less than a week.
This was even with incomplete deployment of personnel and some higher civilizations outwardly obeying but inwardly dragging their feet. Regardless, with the reluctant cooperation of numerous stellar gods and higher civilizations, the speed of missionary work had indeed seen a qualitative leap compared to the past. The energy of the entire universe gradually became so active that Ding Yun no longer needed to specially provide solar power.
Everyone could now cultivate using the techniques she had disseminated. The universe, which was originally leaning towards technology, was directly transformed into a universe of divine powers and cultivation.
As for the already few witches,
Naturally, some were captured, some were enslaved, and some surrendered. In any case, they were prevented from transmitting information outwards on a large scale. While it was unlikely that distant witches would be heeded if they tried to transmit messages to other universes, and a large contingent of primordial or law witches wouldn't be dispatched, given Ding Yun's cautious nature and Jin Xinxin's "once bitten, twice shy" mentality, they were determined to control this aspect.
They were afraid of any unexpected events that might disrupt the plan.
Thus, in less than a century, or rather, less than a hundred years.
Ding Yun, who was in seclusion, successfully sensed that the power of faith was now sufficient for her to break through smoothly.
