Valon: Even a supporting character can change his fate.

After the concubine's scream, Valon was fine, but the emperor, who was enjoying himself, was frightened. His body went limp and he surrendered instantly.

The emperor was about to get angry, but when he turned around and saw Valon who appeared out of nowhere, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"Your Majesty, this is......"

Before the concubine could finish her words, the emperor, who had just been intimate with her, pushed her down on the bed, grabbed her neck with both hands and strangled her to death.

"I didn't expect you to be so cruel."

Facing Valon's teasing, the emperor did not show any dissatisfaction. He kicked the concubine who had died off the bed, put on his clothes, and after calming down, he said, "Don't you have anything to explain to me?"

"Explain what?"

Seeing that Valon was still pretending to be stupid in front of him, the emperor was very angry, but considering the opponent's strength, the emperor still controlled his temper.

"What's with those undead? Don't tell me you didn't do this."

Seeing that the other party had said so much, Valon no longer hid anything and admitted it directly.

"It's you." Seeing Valon admit it, the emperor was furious and asked, "Didn't we agree that I would give you the slaves, but you couldn't use them against me or do anything that would harm the empire?"

"I did say that, but those undead spirits lurking on the border were not transformed from the slaves you gave me."

"Do you think I would believe that? Do you believe it yourself?"

"Believe it or not, this is the truth. But you can also rest assured that these undead will not only not pose a threat to your rule, but will be more conducive to your rule."

"What does this mean?"

Valon smiled and said calmly, "With your ability, you definitely can't perfectly interpret the Blood Emperor. Some people have begun to doubt you now."

The emperor didn't say anything, but from his solemn gaze, it could be seen that what Valon said was right.

There is no way around it. After all, the Blood Emperor is too outstanding, and it is almost impossible to perform perfectly without external help.

In addition, he was a little arrogant in the first few days after he became emperor, and did many things that damaged his image.

Even if the ministers do not show it now, we can still detect some clues from their behavior.

“Only when the external conflict is big enough can the internal chaos be hidden and the original contradiction be diverted.”

You don't have to say it, you really don't have to say it, the emperor is not a fool. After listening to what Valon said, he smashed it and it was really true.

However, this was not Valon's entire goal. After a short pause, Valon said again, "I wonder how you are doing with the condition you promised me, to make Shengtian Church the state religion and spread it throughout the empire?"

After hearing what Valon said, the emperor said impatiently, "It's already been done. Not long ago, I sent a group of people to spread the word among the people. Now it has achieved some results. As for becoming a state religion, it's not that I don't want to. You know, I just came to power, and there are not many people in the court who truly belong to me.

In addition, the Holy Heaven Sect is not like other sects. It has only been around for a short time and its foundation is not solid. Even if I want to, I am afraid that other sects will also make trouble and end up with nothing but a name.”

Valon naturally knew about this, and he had never thought about how much results could be achieved in a short period of time. The reason why he took the initiative to bring it up this time was mainly to remind the other party and let the emperor pay more attention to this matter.

However, just saying it once is definitely not enough. As long as it is not directly related to oneself, no matter how much you say, people will find various reasons to shirk responsibility. But if this matter is related to the interests of the emperor, it will be different.

For this reason, Valon indirectly told the other party the benefits of Shengtianjiao becoming the state religion and spreading throughout the country.

The most important of these is the control of people's hearts.

The Vatican lost more than it won in the contest with the Empire. After all, the military gap between the two sides was obvious. The Empire had a large number of standing armies that were uniformly managed and trained by the Empire.

The Vatican still has a simple conscription system, with people serving as soldiers in wartime and as farmers in peacetime.

When the two meet on the battlefield, it will be immediately clear who is stronger and who is weaker.

However, the reason why the Holy See was able to fight again and again despite repeated defeats was mainly because of its control over people's hearts. It turned the entire nation's people into its believers, and under the pretext of fighting against heresy and cults, even if they knew they would lose, every time there was a conscription, these people would rush forward roaring.

And this is exactly what the empire lacks.

Long-term training can indeed increase the combat effectiveness of soldiers. If they can be blessed with faith, everyone will be able to rush forward fearlessly in every battle, and the combat power that can be unleashed is simply unimaginable.

The Shengtian Sect is an opportunity for the empire, but more importantly, it is an opportunity for the emperor.

Now the Holy Heaven Religion had no roots in the empire, and the reason why it could become the state religion in the future was because the emperor agreed to Valon's conditions.

Those sent out to preach and carry out operations were all the emperor's own confidants.

In this way, the Holy Heaven Sect not only belongs to Wallon but also to the emperor. The other party can use this to control the hearts of the people of the entire empire in their hands.

Even more so, if the Holy Heaven Sect develops well enough in the empire, with a huge population base, it can use this as an opportunity to launch a religious challenge to the Holy See, which would be a major event that could shake the foundation of the Holy See.

The emperor was no fool and understood things quickly. After knowing the importance of the Holy Heaven Sect and that Valon was willing to share the achievements of the Holy Heaven Sect with him, the emperor immediately stated that he would do his best to develop the Holy Heaven Sect.

This is what Valon came here to do this time. Now that his goal has been achieved, there is naturally no need for Valon to stay here any longer.

Time flies in a small coastal country east of the empire.

In the palace hall, the young king was sitting on the throne.

His father, the old king, had just passed away not long ago, and as his father's third son, it was impossible for him to sit in this position according to convention.

It’s a pity that his eldest brother died young. When he was eight years old, he fell from a height and broke his neck. He saw his eldest brother die in front of him with his own eyes, which left a big shadow in his heart.

After the eldest brother died, the second brother was naturally trained as the successor.

But just when his father was seriously ill and on his deathbed, his second brother suddenly met with an accident. He was bitten by a poisonous rat at home. When he was found the next day, he had been dead for a long time and his body was stiff.

Now, the king, who was already seriously ill, heard the news of his son's death and died without catching his breath.

The old king died, and the second prince who was supposed to succeed to the throne died before the old king. The focus of the entire kingdom finally fell on the shoulders of the youngest prince.
