Divine Authority in the Great Ming: From the Start, I’m the Ming Cult Leader

The Chongzhen Emperor hangs himself, and the Manchus enter the Pass.

The land is shattered, and the world becomes a living hell.

In his previous life, Zhu Changye was a successful motivational speaker in the modern world. He transmigrates as the legitimate Hidden Prince of the Ming, descended from Crown Prince Yiwén, and the thirty-fourth leader of the Ming Cult.

From the start, he binds to the [Ming Mandate System]. All he has to do is bluff... no, build up his congregation, and he can earn Faith Points to exchange for peerless martial arts!

Looking at the desperate refugees below, starving and waiting for a divine revelation, Zhu Changye draws on his professional expertise from his previous life. He pulls out a black greatsword and roars: "You think what you're missing is food? Wrong! What you're missing is the ambition to put a knife to the Manchu barbarians' throats!"

"What is the flame of our doctrine? The knives in your hands are that flame! Cut down the Qing dogs and take back the white rice that belongs to us!"

"Let me hear you applaud!"

The Southern Ming court is weak and wants to surrender?

The congregation revolts, cuts down the imperial envoy with a single sword, and seizes control of the realm by force!

The Eight Banners cavalry rides south to massacre the cities?

Water-powered trip hammers set industrial production lines in motion, and firing squads teach them a lesson!

To the outside world, he is a sacred, cold-blooded tyrant, too fearsome to look at directly. Within, as he watches his Faith Points soar every day, he silently wipes sweat from his brow: "These ancient people are much easier to fool than modern-day suckers..."

With the pinnacle of martial arts in his left hand, he delivers physical salvation. With motivational brainwashing in his right, he raises troops and conquers the map.

The divine authority of the Ming will subdue all nations!

Those who follow me will prosper; those who defy me will perish!
