Chapter 383: The Eight-Headed Giant Boar, Changes in the Blissful Heart Domain
The Transformation of Blissful Heart Realm took far longer than Brian had imagined.
Ten days, a month...
Blissful Heart Realm still hadn't completed its Transformation.
Brian had a premonition that this Transformation of Blissful Heart Realm would bring him a surprise, though the process might be quite lengthy.
Out of necessity,
Brian had no choice but to focus his efforts on physical growth in reality.
Thank Leptitia.
Because of her fall, a global epidemic of sudden brain death incidents occurred.
After turmoil for half a month, when the brain death incidents didn't continue, the world finally returned to tranquility.
And it was more peaceful than before.
The meetings to which Brian was invited to explain to the Congress were also canceled.
Those big shots had all gone into hiding, no time to target Brian.
Besides, Brian's previous email had become infamously widespread.
Now, he was almost excluded from the game, deliberately ignored by those people.
The only change was that because of the Dream Clan wandering the seas, shipping was affected, leading to a significant increase in global prices.
All countries were somewhat affected.
Unexpectedly, a certain industrial powerhouse took this opportunity to massively develop its domestic industry and manufacturing, starting to resemble a global factory, and its national strength slowly grew stronger, embarking on a major development...
...
Brian didn't pay much attention to these things.
With no one targeting him, he dedicated all his efforts to the growth of the Rebirth Sect.
Spreading a sect involves a few aspects.
One is emotional support.
One is temptation.
One is aligning the doctrine with some people's values, creating a sense of community and identity with the sect.
Throughout history,
the development process of each sect often accompanies war.
Or rather, religion, cultural brainwashing, is also a form of warfare.
In modern times, one naturally cannot do this.
Although Brian was no saint, he had his own boundaries, and wouldn't resort to treating all living beings as fodder for his strength.
The ancestors taught that sustainable development is the true path to success.
So, he decided on temptation.
After training the first batch of missionaries,
Brian created a large number of religious instruments containing his Spiritual Imprint and distributed them to the missionaries.
The religious instrument was a necklace shaped like an eye.
It bore Brian's Spiritual Imprint, which could act as a limited-range guide, automatically identifying and collecting obsessions...
Previously, Brian had distributed a small number of receptors carrying his Spiritual Imprint to Catwoman and Spider Woman and had also modified numerous laws, including in healthcare—all private hospitals, public hospitals, medical aesthetics, etc.—all setting up Rebirth Sect offices.
Also, all supermarkets, hotels, and other business ventures, little by little, were brought into the fold.
Followers of the Rebirth Sect could enjoy discounts and privileges.
Especially severe treatments that only followers could enjoy.
Additionally, all Federation employees could also enjoy promotions and such, only if they were followers; traffic, law enforcement, and future punishments would also consider region-specific standards for believers and non-believers...
After some time experimenting,
the results were quite good.
A large number of society's idle individuals, in order to reap various benefits, nominally chose to believe in the Rebirth Sect.
Along with hospitals experiencing concentrated deaths, where Rebirth Sect staff were stationed, when someone was on their deathbed, they would go to pray and soothe, while conveniently collecting any potential obsessions.
In less than two months,
Brian's originally somewhat depleted Gift Energy had once again filled up.
This time, while the upper echelons of the Federation had become low-key,
Brian prepared to expand the Rebirth Sect's influence and to bring the entire state of California under his control.
The advantages of dictatorship were now becoming apparent.
Under Brian's will, with the resource integration and coordination during Intelligent Brain Night, a large amount of manpower and resources were mobilized, and a multitude of construction projects began in desolate suburban areas.
Many homeless and criminals, to earn enough money to live better, all chose to become followers of the Rebirth Sect, leveraging the power of the sect to start a new chapter in their lives, rather than continue rotting on the streets and in prisons, becoming experimental subjects and blood banks...
Brian was also generous with the resources he had at his disposal for law enforcement.
He opened up a resource exchange channel.
The stairs to the new era began to become accessible to those at the bottom.
Regarding schools,
Brian also established several military-managed universities, specifically targeting outstanding students for Enhancement training, to unearth talent in scientific research and biology.
On one hand, to build up a reserve of suitable subordinates.
On the other hand, also to gradually relax the control of information and upward mobility.
In Brian's view,
since the entire planet would in the future become a single Federation, contributing to the power of his Blissful Heart Realm, accelerating the evolution of mankind on Earth would be more beneficial to himself.
So, he was quite generous in these affairs.
Without external obstructions.
As time passed, the whole of California began to develop into a new era according to Brian's will.
...
Half a year later.
In Los Angeles County, within a sprawling seaside estate,
Brian lay in Susan's arms, enjoying the cake she fed him.
Today was his 25th birthday.
The older he got, the less sensitive he felt about birthdays.
But to ingratiate himself with his subordinates, he still held a grand banquet at Susan's urging.
