Seeing the army of the Heavenly Serpent Church struck terror in the hearts of countless natives who were still alive to such a degree that many began even to surrender.
Vast numbers of nobles chose to give up on the rule of Akaban and his descendants, who ruled the Sakartes Empire since its founding, pledging their allegiance to Leylin in secret and some even in the open.
For those, Leylin decided to grant them mercy and let them live as they converted to the Faith of the Heavenly Serpent. The Sakartes Empire was barely standing as the last place that stood was the capital of the Empire.
It was the only region that the Imperial Family managed to get hold of because it was where their influence was the strongest.
In a mere three days, the capital of the Sakartes Empire was broken into from the inside. Flames surged into the sky from the imperial palace, causing the army that had planned to fight to halt in their tracks.
They could only watch as the palace that represented the glamour and splendor of the Royal Bloodline vanished.
The new capital was now called Faulen City, and a whole new Empire was formed after the flames of war washed away all filth and anything that reminiscent of the native culture or their Gods.
Because it was a country formed from Faith, Leylin was unwilling to pass on the responsibility to others. He became the very first Holy Emperor, and from then, the rulership would be succeeded by those with his blood for all eternity.
The new Empire was quickly acknowledged by the surrounding tribes, not like they had a choice, as one of the first things that Leylin did was to conquer them and incorporate them into the Holy Nāga Empire.
After everything that belonged to the Sakartes Empire was taken over, and his organization had expanded to the entirety of Debanks Island, they began the intense effort of eradicating the plague and clearing land.
With the 'Holy Water' and the God's Baptism, the grim reaper that devastated Debanks Island was finally controlled. To the commoners, the Heavenly Serpent Church was like the sun in the sky.
Since the war had ended quickly, and they'd taken in a large number of tribes, the initial assessment of the population in the region came up to an astonishing 750,000. The plague had taken away more than half of the initial 2 million natives and left countless treasures after them.
Leylin also planned for the future to fuse the Heavenly Serpent Church and Holy Nāga Empire into one entity, which would be ruled by the Holy Emperor.
He wanted to create an absolute theocratic state that would be solely dedicated to worshipping him and generating Faith.
Fortunately, he already got a guideline on how to do it.
It was from Gu Long's home world, Douluo Principal World; evidently, people there even wrote guidelines on how to create theocratic states and other topics related to governing, Faith, churches and so on...
In fact, it pretty much amused Leylin when he saw a book titled "Theocracy 101: Guide for Idiots", but he had to admit that the books were very useful as they contained generational knowledge of Gods in the Douluo Principal World.
***
Calendar of the Gods, Year 37,671.
With 10,000 pirates, Leylin Faulen had taken down Debanks Island, which had a population of more than two million people, destroying the Sakartes Empire and conquering or annihilating countless Native Tribes to create his own nation.
He himself had become a demigod, becoming one of the higher-ups in the World of Gods.
Many were astonished.
Leylin Faulen was only 26 years old, and he had achieved something that was so astonishing that it was impossible for the majority of inhabitants of the World of Gods.
Naturally, even Gods paid attention to his development and many Churches from the main continent were already thinking about what stance to take about his rise.
Presently at the Debanks Islands, numerous elite Devil Hunters and native Holy Knights surrounded a group of luxurious horse chariots in the new Faulen City.
The knights' crests and the caravan's flag were symbols of a Heavenly Serpent, indicating the might of Imperial Might.
"The plague's been taken care of, and we're beginning to plow the land for spring. We're doing great!"
Leylin pulled apart the curtains of the chariot, gazing at the green fields with a hint of satisfaction on his face. Pontiff of the Heavenly Serpent Church Tiff knelt before his master with eyes full of admiration and worship.
The Empire would be governed by the blood of its God; such was the decree of the Heavenly Serpent Church and the moment the child was ready, it would fuse the Imperial and Religious Powers into one, becoming the first Holy Emperor of Holy Nāga Empire.
He even chose that Isabel Faulen, his cousin, would become his wife and Empress of the Holy Nāga Empire.
She was the most suitable person for the role, not only for the fact that she had a very powerful Red Dragon Bloodline and was a powerful Professional herself but also because she was a member of the Faulen Family.
Aside from the fact that she harbored feelings of love for him, so her loyalty was guaranteed, that was something that he needed to be sure of.
Right now, Leylin was on inspection of the Holy Nāga Empire and controlled how his orders were carried out.
As the Holy Nāga Empire was only newly established and it was built on the ashes of civilizations of the Debanks Islands, there were tons of problems with it. While he had dealt with the Totem Spirits, Nature Spirits, Ancestral Spirits and other types of Spirits...
Most of the worshippers were not fanatical ones or truly geniue, and right now was the time to properly get a hold of them and reeducate them in the teachings of the Heavenly Serpent God.
He didn't spare even a single one of them, as all of them were killed; he didn't want to have them as his subordinates because while it may be beneficial in a short time, they were a liability in the long term.
