I Became the Progenitor Vampire Chapter 136

Chapter 136: Chapter 136 This Time We're Going to Make a Fortune

The idea of using a giant dragon to pull a cart greatly excited Lide Kachar, but thinking about the various legends surrounding the giant dragon, he suppressed the fervor in his heart.

Enslaving a giant dragon, though fascinating, would require a level of strength that would strain even Green City, a metropolis overseen by an Extraordinary Mage.

To achieve this one day, more effort was needed.

When the number of the Bloodline surpassed ten thousand, it might become feasible.

Koso, the One-eyed Giant, knew where to find a Black Dragon, and he hadn't forgotten the affairs of the underworld; once he became more powerful…

After Lide left, the half-blood smith named Gold Mining, who had a distinctly Dwarven-style name, gathered all the blacksmiths to discuss.

Helping a One-eyed Giant, standing six or seven blades tall, to forge mining weapons was no easy task, considering the sheer size was enough to perplex the current rudimentary blacksmithing facilities.

The simple-minded appearance of Koso gave Gold Mining a headache.

He couldn't help but frown in distress.

Lide was unaware of the great challenge he had posed to the blacksmiths as he turned his attention to another matter when they were worried.

The Dawn Church had been completed.

Driven by her fervent study of divinity, Emi, nearly without sleep, constantly supervised the construction site and repeatedly urged the workers to accelerate the construction of the church.

Under Emi's strong insistence, the church, originally converted from an abandoned manor, was built in just a few days.

Although it lacked the luxury and refinement of the grand churches in Green City, it was more than sufficient for the needs of Dawn City, which lacked everything.

The most critical aspect was that Emi could now preach openly.

The Dawn Sect, a sect that had just been named a few days ago, was ready to make a significant impact.

In Emi's view, divine beings were just a group of stronger creatures and weren't worthy of worship.

Possessing the title of “blasphemer,” he had never held divinities in high regard; while he respected their power, he felt no fear towards them.

But now, the Ancestor of the Bloodline, the great Kachar Crown, possessed the key to becoming one of these powerful beings.

To Emi, an individual obsessed with power, this was a divine gift from the Goddess of Luck.

He could hardly wait.

In the eyes of the common people, divine beings were omnipotent; they were powerful, possessed eternal life, and could arbitrarily decide the life and death of commoners–all of which commanded their reverence.

The spread of faith was often due to powerful and mysterious unknown forces, and Emi, having spent decades as a priest in the Knight Temple, fully understood this.

Thus, he was confident that he could quickly establish the Dawn Sect as the sole and universally revered sect in Dawn City.

He was filled with confidence.

Lide attended the inauguration of the church, or rather, he unveiled a new era.

From this day forward, Dawn City would witness the rise of a new, singular sect.

Outside the Dawn Church, ten girls clad in pristine white priest robes and holding bouquets of flowers stood against the wind, their robes fluttering and the fragrance of the flowers filling the air.

In the chilling winter season, this was a strikingly vibrant sight.

“Ancestor Crown, the Dawn Church is grand because of your arrival.”

“Welcome, great Kachar Crown.”

After Emi led the bow, the row of girls behind him bowed deeply in unison, their eyes filled with profound admiration.

These were the Temple Saintesses that Emi had personally selected, each girl possessing innate Casting Talent, destined to become priests in the future.

With nearly ten thousand people in Dawn City, finding a few beautiful and appropriate-aged girls was not difficult.

Lide slightly nodded, gazing at the church that now belonged to him.

Since it was a renovation, the reliefs and color murals still bore a distinct Bloodline style.

The church, twelve blades high with four levels, was built from white boulders; under the evening light, it exuded a unique sandblasted texture of the rocks.

Entering through the white door carved with a relief of a Bloodline spreading its wings, he stepped into the first-floor hall.

The church hall housed over 500 wooden seats, surrounded by pristine white walls that emanated an indescribable sanctity.

Directly opposite in the center of the church was a vibrant, four-blade-high colored relief of a majestic figure.

The figure in the relief seemed as if standing right before them, monumental and imposing.

Behind him spread large, striking bat wings, as if he had just returned from annihilating worlds in the abyss.

The fangs visible on his lips marked his identity as a Bloodline.

Behind him, powerful creatures–giants, Titans, Elves, giant dragons, Great Demons, Six-winged Angels, and others–were all kneeling in submission.

This varicolored relief instantly awed all who saw it, undoubtedly carved by a master skilled in the craft.

Watching the relief, which bore his exact likeness, Lide's lips twitched slightly.

Being sculpted on a wall like this… it truly was an indescribable feeling.

“Ancestor Crown, it was I who personally carved this.”

Emi's eyes also held deep satisfaction, having carved religious murals for decades at the Knight Temple, but this one was his most satisfying.

“Enough said about that.

Do you have any thoughts on the proselytizing plan?”

Lide stared intently at Emi.

A beautiful building was nice, but ultimately, the Dawn Church had to engage in proselytizing–the goal was to harness the power of faith, not just to construct a pretty structure.

He only had Oli as a believer and could only acquire one point of the power of faith each day, which was hardly enough for research.

Lide's understanding of the power of faith was still very basic. He knew it was a form of very advanced energy, but how to use it remained a complete mystery.

His knowledge of the power of faith had been imparted by Emi, a Level 15 Shadow High Priest, who also had only a Level 15 understanding and whose knowledge benefited from an incursion into the Knight God's Divine Country.

Thus, both were quite confused.

Lide felt like he had been given the key ingredients to build nuclear weapons but had no idea how to actually create them.

Establishing the Dawn Sect was meant to build the metaphorical nuclear weapons of this world.

Regarding the power of faith, Lide felt it wasn't even comparable to magic power in terms of energy fluctuation, but he was aware of his limited understanding. Were nuclear weapons even on the same level as TNT in equivalent mass?

He needed a key to unlock this puzzle, and the Dawn Sect was that key.

“Ancestor Crown, leave the preaching of the Dawn Sect to me. After the Frost Month, you will see a completely different Dawn Sect.

If there's any change in your power of faith during this period, I hope you can inform me immediately.”

For Emi, who had spent decades as a priest in the Knight Temple, preaching was not a significant issue, especially in Dawn City, where he had the absolute home-ground advantage.

There weren't any external sects competing for believers here; if he couldn't develop in such an environment, he truly might as well commit suicide out of guilt.

“Good, what do you need me to do for the church now?”

Emi smiled slightly, respectfully gesturing toward the high platform in front of the colorful relief.

“You need to stand there and announce the establishment of the Dawn Sect, including your divine position.”

Was this like an opening ceremony?

Lide looked at Emi's serious expression and couldn't help but smile a little.

The Dawn Church had just opened its doors, and few wanted to venture out in the cold winter, so besides the 10 young girls, only he and Emi remained inside the church.

Well, let's start off on the right foot.

Under everyone's gaze, Lide stepped forward to the high platform of the church, his penetrating gaze sweeping over the pristine white walls, a solemn feeling rising inexplicably within him.

He straightened his expression.

“I, Kachar, here declare the establishment of the Dawn Sect, whose doctrine shall be…”

Suddenly, a phrase from the news popped into Lide's mind.

“To continually become stronger, fight tenaciously, remain united, be fearless, love family and country.”

That seemed alright, didn't it?

Lide glanced down at Emi's somewhat baffled look, cleared his throat, disregarded his reaction, and continued,

“As a deity of the Holy Light Bloodline and Blood, in the name of the Blood Clan Ancestor and the master of the dawn, I announce”

“The official establishment of the Dawn Sect!”

After the last sentence, a sudden system notification in his mind left him stunned.

This works???

“Ding, Lide Kachar declares the establishment of the Dawn Sect, divine positions: Bloodline and Blood, doctrine: Keep constantly striving to become stronger, fight tenaciously, remain united, be fearless, love family and country.

Detection of Lide Kachar possessing the city–Dawn City, possessing the race–Holy Light Bloodline, possessing one fanatic believer.

Minimum requirements for the establishment of the sect met, Dawn Sect established.”

“Ding~ you have established the Dawn Sect, unlocked the power of faith attribute panel.”

“Ding~ you may freely appoint various divine positions within the Dawn Temple.”

“Ding~ you have established the Dawn Sect, gained 5 legend points, and received a character experience reward—-5000.”

“Ding, your total legend points have reached 6, unlocking the legend panel and gaining the title, Renowned Far and Wide”

“Renowned Far and Wide, traits: 1, Enhanced respect from all races; 2, A possibility to intimidate creatures of lower levels to defect to you; 3, Increased surrender rate of captives.”

Damn, could it be any more awesome??!!!

This sudden surprise left Lide stunned for a while.

This time it was really going big!!!

Lide turned to look at the seriously gazing Emi below. He really wanted to tell him.

He had found the key to making nuclear weapons.
