The Holy Son Zhou Bai continued, "If no one works... then who will distribute the heavenly food? Who will stop anyone if there's a theft? If there are no walls, and the gangs from outside come to rob us, who can protect us?"

The man hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll protect everyone!"

The Holy Son smiled and said, "Are you saying that you and your men, who have the same amount of food as the other civilians, will risk your lives to fight against the thousands of gangs and criminals outside?"

The faces of the man and his subordinates changed slightly.

The Holy Son Zhou Bai continued, "And what about General Zhou Bai and Divine Power Zhou Bai's subordinates, have you thought about how to appease them? If they disagree with your distribution of the hoarded food, you may face thousands of enemies. Do you have enough bullets for your weapon?"

"Furthermore, you killed them without even questioning how the heavenly food is produced or where they hoarded food. Did you already investigate these matters beforehand?"

One question after another, and the armed man in front of him couldn't answer a single one.

He said bitterly, "What should I do?"

The Holy Son Zhou Bai laughed, "I am willing to bestow upon you the name of Revolution Zhou Bai. From now on, you'll be responsible for cleansing activities inside and outside the city, purging all enemies of the divine and parasites among the people. I can see it in your eyes; you are a child chosen by God. As for other matters, we will maintain the old rules, and the entire Holy City will operate as it did before..."

Revolution Zhou Bai slowly put down his weapon.

The Holy Son Zhou Bai said with satisfaction, "You've made the right choice."

Yet, Revolution Zhou Bai raised his gun, filled with murderous intent, and said, "If I can replace them, why can't I replace you? As long as I become the Holy Son, everyone must obey the divine commands and follow my orders."

But before he could act, beams of laser had already swept across Revolution Zhou Bai's body, slicing him into pieces.

Twelve robots emerged from the shadows, guarding the Holy Son Zhou Bai, scaring Revolution Zhou Bai's subordinates into motionlessness.

The Holy Son Zhou Bai shook his head and picked up the handgun the other dropped, "Idiot, did you think your gun came from nowhere? I just wanted to change a group of subordinates, but you overthought it."

Servant Zhou Bai, standing by, was also shocked looking at this scene, "Holy Son Zhou Bai, these are..."

"Just some robots from the underground ruins. I spent some time cracking their secrets recently; it wasn't that hard." After saying this, the Holy Son Zhou Bai was already pointing his gun at Servant Zhou Bai.

Servant Zhou Bai tensed up, "Holy Son Zhou Bai..."

The Holy Son Zhou Bai grinned, "People always seem perpetually hungry. The more you feed them, the more they want.

So I always short-change them a significant portion of the food I distribute, organizing some events with rewards and punishments to maintain their enthusiasm and obedience.

Isn't it laughable? If all the food was distributed to them every day directly, it would cause the Holy City to collapse.

Yet by withholding a large portion, the entire city can maintain order, because the foundation of this world is always full of fools. Only by deceiving all the fools can one rule this world."

Speaking thus, the Holy Son Zhou Bai shook his head again, "However, some smart people can't be handled this way. Rather than receiving rewards by following the rules, they prefer to rob them. I always choose these people, using them before they act on such thoughts, trying to share some of my power with them."

"But these somewhat smarter guys are really just a bit smarter. They always do things beyond their capabilities, overwhelmed by power."

"Like General Zhou Bai, like Divine Power Zhou Bai... and like you, you shouldn't have hidden from me and spilled my secrets to Revolution Zhou Bai."

Servant Zhou Bai said, trembling, "I didn't... I didn't..."

The Holy Son Zhou Bai said helplessly, "Ah, once mortals know the secrets of the divine, they also want to become gods. This is the root of human evil."

"Farewell, Servant Zhou Bai. You will be buried with the title of Zhou Bai since you've worked so hard recently, and I promised to bestow you the Zhou Bai name."

With a gunshot, Servant Zhou Bai fell to the ground. The Holy Son Zhou Bai looked at the remaining subordinates of Revolution Zhou Bai and said with a smile, "Why so tense? Relax. Your actions have succeeded; we've cleaned up the riff-raff around me, and you have become the new Zhou Bai. You will rule this world with me."

Seeing the stiff expressions on everyone's faces, the Holy Son Zhou Bai clapped his hands. Then, suddenly, a light swept through, immediately reducing the most nervous person into minced meat by the laser.

The Holy Son Zhou Bai said, "Aren't you applauding your victory?"

The remaining people quickly started clapping, yet the Holy Son Zhou Bai showed a bored expression.

"After mastering the powers of the ruins, this world has become boring. I hope the world outside this world is a bit more interesting."

A new subordinate asked, "How should we announce to the public? What's our next plan?"

"Business as usual," the Holy Son Zhou Bai replied casually, "Anyone who disagrees, just kill them. This world may be built on lies, but strength determines the truth of the lie. I, who possess the greatest strength in this world, make everyone believe my lies."

"As for the people, they're fools. As long as you give them some benefits, they can devoutly worship even a ball. If one day there's no food left, they can discard us like worn shoes and worship a stronger god."

"Alright, young men, time to work. From today on, you are the new Zhou Bai of the Holy City."

The Holy Son Zhou Bai returned to his chamber with a hint of boredom, looking at the long-haired Zhou Bai, the beautiful Zhou Bai, the cute Zhou Bai, and other girls whose appearances were considered decent in this experimental area.

Just then, incessant shouting was heard from outside. The Holy Son Zhou Bai looked out the window and saw a mass of people flying in the air, led by a man, arriving above the Holy City.

...

Zhou Bai observed the dozen flying black dots in the sky, discovering they were robots made by the Heavenly Demon, and felt slightly surprised. His Primordial Spirit power swept across, capturing all these robots.

Then he looked at the constantly stinking city below, feeling troubled, "Tina, Elsa, leave it to you. Help me drive the people out."

Tina complained, "Who's going to this crappy city? Why don't you go!"

Zhou Bai said again, "Elsa, why don't you just take over this city?"

Elsa said helplessly, "I don't eat crap."

Zhou Bai said, "How do you know it's not tasty if you haven't tried it?"
