There were still eight days until the first meeting of the Secret Organizations Alliance.
Wen Wen, stationed at the Foundation, realized through the Guide's reminder that he had attracted quite a few secret organizations that might target the Foundation.
Therefore, Wen Wen was researching how to enhance the defense capabilities of the Foundation, as relying solely on him to fend off foreign enemies was not a long-term solution.
While researching, Wen Wen discovered an interesting phenomenon.
The Power of Faith within him was rapidly strengthening, increasing several times faster than before, and the rate of increase continued to rise.
He hadn't deliberately recruited followers, as his only followers were that group of Ore Ghosts.
Initially, Wen Wen saved them and, for fun, pretended to be their Deity.
And those dark, not-so-smart creatures directly worshipped Wen Wen as their Deity, tirelessly spreading Wen Wen's faith.
However, the number of Ore Ghosts was not large, so the impact of this faith was not significant.
But the feeling of faith this time was much stronger for Wen Wen, with countless voices echoing in his ears as people prayed to him.
Wen Wen, intrigued, wanted to see what kind of Demon Yao were believing in him.
So he traced back through the strands of the Power of Faith and saw a scene that made the corner of his mouth twitch.
A man bowed deeply, then straightened up and declared confidently: "Teacher, rest assured, I will definitely promote the Male Fist thought you established!"
This person was actually the chubby man Wen Wen encountered in his dream!
Now he had completely transformed, brimming with self-confidence, no longer the timid person he was before.
A dozen days ago, he rented a courtyard as a base for spreading Male Fist thoughts. In the center of the hall, opposite the chubby man, hung a portrait of Wen Wen.
The portrait didn't quite resemble Wen Wen but captured his essence, so the faith could transmit accurately to Wen Wen.
Below the portrait were several lines: 'Senior Disciple Yu Jin, met the Patriarch in a dream, learned the way of Male Fist, and vowed to wholeheartedly promote the Patriarch's Male Fist for the rest of his life to earn the right to call him "Big Brother"...'
Behind the chubby man Yu Jin, densely packed were robust men, looking at the portrait with fanatic expressions, shouting in unison:
"Male Fist Invincible! Male Fist Invincible!"
Along with the shouting came the fervent faith.
"What the hell is going on, where did they come from?"
Wen Wen was shocked and bewildered by this situation, feeling goosebumps; he didn't want the faith of these people...
After a brief investigation, Wen Wen finally understood the cause and effect.
After Yu Jin woke up, he became fervently obsessed with the Male Fist theory he learned in his dream and wanted to spread it.
By using imagination, he deepened the theory, attracting a large number of followers.
Just as the Federation never lacked oppressed women, there were always plenty of men who felt suffocated under their wives' control.
Thus, Yu Jin's theory rapidly spread and fermented on the internet, quickly transforming into its current form, with a trend of continuous expansion.
Looking at the prosperous Male Fist cult, Wen Wen felt a bad premonition rising in his heart.
Tracing other sources of faith, he indeed discovered other equally bizarre things.
The environmentalist girl Delia that he rescued was now fresh-faced, like a girl next door.
After waking up, she immediately released an apology video online.
In the video, she tearfully admitted her previous mistakes, garnering a lot of sympathy.
Then she hit back, claiming she was misled by extreme environmental organizations, which led to her previous errors.
She then published her new manifesto, 'New Environmentalism.'
When implementing environmental measures, focus should be people-centric, taking into account practical realities, while calling to abolish extreme environmental organizations...
Originally, as many as disliked her, now as many supported her.
Regarding those who opposed Delia, they quickly receded under the onslaught of Delia's family's online campaign, unable to make a sound.
And the spiritual leader of this New Environmentalism was still Wen Wen...
The next source of faith came from Gao Fangzhou.
Gao Fangzhou used his influence to initiate a campaign to be a conscientious public intellectual.
Online, he publicly criticized using materials he previously published, helping many observers understand the routines of public intellectuals.
Subsequently, he published a series of sensational articles, articulating truths many knew well but didn't openly discuss.
As a result, Gao Fangzhou received numerous attacks but also garnered plenty of supporters.
Many sought out Gao Fangzhou for learning, and Gao Fangzhou distributed learning materials for free, where the spiritual leader was also Wen Wen...
Turning page after page, Wen Wen's expression gradually collapsed.
"Help, it's all these kinds of folks! Give me some pretty lady followers!"
"Ah, found the ladies, I must take a closer look; surely the Deity doesn't mind warm beds from followers."
Upon closer inspection, Wen Wen's lifted mouth fell again, and he overturned the desk before him.
"Damn it %#@…, I'd rather have not found any ladies."
These sources of faith came from a top madam Wen Wen had saved.
Upon waking, she dedicated herself to guiding women of ill-repute to reform.
In less than a month, she had transformed the thoughts of more than a hundred people.
Their great savior was a virtual figure pointing back to Wen Wen.
While reform was a good thing, the problem lay in the method—finding a good, honest man to marry.
"Honest fellow brothers, I didn't mean to harm you, please forgive me..."
Wen Wen initially wanted to eliminate this vile cult, but upon thinking it over, figured those folks eventually looking for an honest man to take over might be beneficial if it happened sooner.
Moreover, he simply couldn't annihilate every bizarre cult devoted to him—there simply wasn't time.
"What's wrong with these people, have they gone mad?"
Wen Wen was so angry his jaw ached; suddenly having so many bizarre and unorthodox followers would make anyone's scalp tingle. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ɴovelfire.net
He carefully recalled what he had done in the Spiral Mountain Range, pondering for a long time to finally clarify the cause and effect.
Indeed, these people were attracted to him due to his own actions; things in the depths of a dream often manifest as ideological imprints deeply etched in one's mind.
These individuals suffered prolonged torment in the dream, with Wen Wen appearing as a savior.
Think about mythological tales where Deities select apostles to spread faith; what do they do?
They give hardship first, then display divine power...
Coincidentally, Wen Wen ended up with such a batch of followers.
No, they should be called evangelists!
