Ian's original plan was to simply guide Ekko, let him venture out, seek stronger Power to deal with Viktor, while he watched the show from the sidelines. But now that he had the 'Faith and War' Mod, the situation was different.
'Viktor, how dare you! You mess around in my territory and turn my Believers into mindless puppets!'
The thought of those people turned into puppets by Viktor made Ian feel a pang of regret. They were all potential Believers, and Viktor had ruined them just like that!
"Viktor, I'll kill you within three days and scatter your ashes!"
After acquiring the new Mod, Ian began formulating the rules for Believers.
He waved his hand, and a screen of light appeared in the air, covered with various rules.
His Believers could gain the Power of Faith through conquering worlds or through devout prayer. The Power of Faith could be exchanged for various supplies and enhancements.
Ian established six levels of devotion: Level 1 to Level 5 Believers, and the highest level, the Divine Son. The higher the level, the more powerful the items that could be exchanged.
This division served both as an incentive and a means of distinction.
As soon as the rules were set, Ian sensed that several people had immediately become Level 5 Fanatics.
He checked and saw that Ge, Liu, Leona, and other members of the Super Seminary group, along with Leo, Felix, Kevin, Maybach, and Chloe from the group chat, all had a fanatical belief in Ian.
Meanwhile, Molly, Qilin, Miss Witch, and Zeke immediately became Level 6 Divine Sons.
Zambo's Faith Level made Ian's eyes light up, as it had already surpassed that of a Divine Son.
Ian couldn't immediately think of a title to bestow upon Zambo.
'Never mind, once I become the God-King, I'll confer a God title on him.'
As the Avatars returned from their respective worlds, Ian's figure manifested in the Main World.
After all the Avatars returned, under the effect of the Power of Faith, the three Dragon Avatars—the Gold Dragon King, Silver Dragon King, and Dragon God—merged into Ian's main body, becoming one of his many facets.
After the fusion, Ian opened the Portals leading to the various worlds. Molly, Leo, and other friends from the chat group walked out one after another. Molly was also accompanied by her little Secretary.
Subsequently, Ian summoned the Super Warriors of the Super Seminary, the Angels like Queen Kesha and Hexi, as well as Xia Mi and Fenrir from the Dragon Raja World.
A large group of Ian's Believers gathered in the Dragon Temple on Dragon Island.
Everyone greeted Ian in unison, "Hail, our God!" their voices filled with awe.
Ian waved his hand, signaling them to relax: "Just call me as you did before. Don't be so formal."
Ian's words allowed everyone to relax slightly, but the reverence in their eyes remained.
"I believe you have all received the message in your minds, haven't you?" Ian asked, his voice low, yet everyone present heard him clearly.
"Yes," they replied in unison.
Ian nodded: "I have recently mastered a Power called the Power of Faith. Now, I need you to conquer your respective worlds, establish Faith Altars to recruit Believers, and collect the Power of Faith for me."
"The Power of Faith has a wide range of uses. You will understand its specific effects in the future."
"Hehe, Boss, just leave this to us!" Liu patted his chest, looking full of confidence.
"No problem on my end," Molly responded confidently, and her little Secretary nodded in agreement.
"Brother Ian, rest assured, we guarantee the completion of the mission!" Zeke quickly expressed his commitment, not wanting to be left behind.
Ian scanned the crowd and nodded in satisfaction.
"Very good. Confidence is key. I look forward to your performance," Ian said with a smile.
"Boss, don't worry, we'll definitely do it!" they promised in unison, full of confidence.
Ian added: "Next is the Believer Level System. Conquering worlds and developing Believers grants the Power of Faith, which can be used at the Faith Altar to exchange for items or enhance yourselves."
With a thought, a huge Stele appeared next to each Faith Altar, listing the redeemable items in detail. The contents of the Stele varied according to the Believer Level; the higher the level, the better the items available for exchange.
"Boss, the items on this Stele are incredible!" Liu stared at the Stele in amazement.
"This is just the beginning. Once you become Fanatics, there are even better things waiting for you," Ian chuckled.
Next, Ian began to detail the plans for world conquest.
Ian's mission for Molly's world was: integrate global forces within one month and advance into the universe. Molly was confident and guaranteed completion.
Ian required Felix to resolve the Scorching World apocalypse within three months and sent Zambo's subordinates along with an Avatar to assist. Felix was thrilled and issued a Military Order, guaranteeing completion within two months.
Ian instructed Zeke to go to Shawn's world and help him clear all obstacles and eliminate all unawakened Kings within three months.
Zeke issued a Military Order that if he failed to take down the world within three months, he would willingly go to the Fisherman's Happy Room.
For Leo's world, Ian dispatched Morgana to lead the Demon Legion, letting the guys from the Slasher World see what a trueSlasher was like.
Zambo was even more ambitious. He said he could flatten the Zombie World in just five days.
Seeing everyone so motivated, Ian was very pleased.
Finally, Ian turned to the people from Super Seminary and explained that the world on the other side of the Rift they had encountered earlier was actually their Parallel Universe. Their Parallel Universe counterparts existed there.
"Just as Ge, the Silver River Power, in this world corresponds to Garen, the Might of Demacia, in the other world; Liu, the Nuo Star God of War, corresponds to Darius, the Hand of Noxus; Leona, the Solar Goddess, corresponds to Leona, the Radiant Dawn; and Queen Kesha, the Angel King, corresponds to Kayle, the Winged Justice."
Upon hearing about their Parallel Universe counterparts, everyone immediately became interested.
"What? Another me? Called the Might of Demacia?" Ge rolled up his sleeves. "I want to see just how strong the other me is!"
"Haha, the Hand of Noxus? Sounds intimidating, but I wonder if he can withstand one swing of my axe!" Liu laughed heartily.
Leona was full of curiosity about her counterpart: "I wonder what the other me is like?"
Ian assigned them the mission of conquering the Civilizations in the Parallel Universe that corresponded to themselves.
Ian set the broad direction: try to resolve issues peacefully if possible, but if not, use force without having to report first.
"Do you understand?" Ian asked.
"Understand! We will not fail you!" everyone answered in unison.
