Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 460 - 76: The Tang Dynasty’s Behind-the-Scenes Boss - At Leisure_3

Even the power to appoint and remove members of the Sacrificial Council was granted, though it required a vote. Of course, the High Priest, the Sea-Controlling Azure Dragon, and the Sea-Controlling Nuwa Empress were beyond removal, as they were the ultimate will of the Sea God Cult.

Having divine authority backed by faith comes with a great advantage, that is, the legitimacy of autocracy.

After sorting all this out, Tang Xian suddenly felt a bit of admiration for Li Xiaoyu.

These tedious tasks had been Li Xiaoyu's responsibility for half her life.

Every day was about creating, managing, and maintaining systems.

Day in, day out, over and over again.

Ultimately, she had uplifted the business of the Li family.

Tang Xian seldom engaged in these matters, but that didn't mean he wasn't capable.

Standing on the shoulders of the Sea God, who had already paved the path for him, made things easier.

Establishing a church was easy, but finding followers was hard, and that's what the Sea God had been doing all these years—establishing faith.

Now, Tang Xian was simply systematizing it.

Once the system was perfected, the next natural step was amalgamation. To Tang Xian, cats and dogs, although of perfect-level combat strength, were still far from enough.

He wanted to integrate into the Sea God Cult creatures from dozens of islands and hundreds of different species.

Tang Feiji and the Sea-Controlling Giant Squid finally finished their negotiations.

The intelligence of the Sea-Controlling Giant Squid was much duller than that of Tang Feiji.

Its power in the sea was still greater than Tang Feiji's, but once out of water, its strength drastically decreased.

In fact, among the seven sea servants of the Sea God, aside from the turtle and the hydra, none could leave the deep sea.

The hydra was dead, and the turtle had gone north.

On the islands of the south, only Tang Xian knew the situation.

After some events, Tang Feiji also acknowledged Tang Xian, and so man and dragon reached a consensus—

Tang Xian would be responsible for swaying those above the sea.

Tang Feiji would be responsible for swaying those beneath the sea.

Thus, the first island merger began, with the Sea-Controlling Giant Squid moving the islands.

Three islands were joined together under the deterrence of Bai Mansheng and Tang Feiji, both Orange-Rank creatures;

With the foundation laid by the Sea God over hundreds of years;

With Jin Lu leading creatures like the Golden Patterned Leopard and the Hell Flame Wolf, the process was much smoother than Tang Xian had anticipated.

He had expected a battle, but without even a fight, the flock of the Sea God Cult doubled.

Tang Xian hadn't expected the Sea God to have been so fanatic in the past, even abducting enormous terrestrial creatures like the Golden Mammoth and the Sword-Horned Dragon onto the islands.

After communicating with these creatures, the likes of which included the calamity-level boss Diamond Mammoth King and the calamity-level boss Sword-Horned Dragon King, they eagerly joined the Sea God Cult.

Hence, the expansion of the islands accelerated.

More and more whirlpools appeared on the surface of the sea, and soon a great number of islands emerged. They began to slowly merge together.

Massive waves surged to the sky, only to be frozen by Tang Feiji.

This display of divine power made countless creatures on the islands submit.

Moreover, the Sea God Cult's power itself was growing stronger and stronger.

So the intense competition Tang Xian expected did not manifest.

The Sea God's rule had sunk deep into the hearts of myriad beasts.

In just one week's time, they integrated more than ninety islands from distant waters—all becoming land comparable to nearly half of the southern continent.

And the thousands of species on these islands all joined the Sea God Cult.

Bai Mansheng, although the leader of the Nvwa Snake tribe, had never commanded so many creatures before. But since these creatures held her in such high esteem, many troubles were no longer troublesome.

Tang Xian also began to establish a common beastly law for the crowds of creatures.

A small tribunal for all beasts emerged.

Whether the dragon-slaying hero had become the dragon itself was not yet clear.

The rules Tang Xian established were indeed intended to reduce chaos, and that was his only initial intention.

For now, it was just to prevent the tribunal for all beasts from causing trouble. Tang Xian wasn't planning on expanding; he had no interest in a world where not even an electric rice cooker could be used.

He simply hoped that by gathering the crowds of beasts, he could create a power capable of self-protection for people like Jin Lu and Bai Mansheng in the future.

That power was the Sea God Cult.

On the surface, the master of the church controlled everything in the great sea, but behind the scenes, the true mastermind was Tang Xian, a feeble creature walking on land.

This time, he had become the power behind the throne.
