They had previously researched the Saints and Demons Religion, and of course, they knew that its followers were all young women, just as Tenraku had said.
With that in mind, the source of Saints and Demons followers was instantly halved, leaving only women as potential recruits. And according to the Red Dragon Emperor's words earlier, only a small portion of the women would qualify for membership.
In other words, even if everyone agreed to the Red Dragon Emperor's plan, the expansion of the Saints and Demons Religion after the crisis would not be excessive. It would still be within their acceptable range.
With these thoughts in mind, the leaders and representatives of the various factions were already wavering, but no one spoke first.
"We, the Kyoto Yokai Clan, support the Red Dragon Emperor's plan and will help to the best of our ability," Yasaka Princess broke the silence, offering a gentle smile to express her support for Tenraku.
"Nine-Tailed Princess, although I heard that the Red Dragon Emperor rescued you from the Hero Faction of the Khaos Brigade, it would be wise for you to consider the bigger picture," Śakro Devānām Indraḥ interjected, his warning clear.
The Red Dragon Emperor had thwarted many of Śakro Devānām Indraḥ's plans, so from the beginning of the meeting, he had shown no goodwill toward Tenraku, resorting instead to sarcasm and ridicule. As an ambitious individual, Śakro Devānām Indraḥ naturally didn't want to see another obstacle to his ambitions.
The personal power of the Red Dragon Emperor was already formidable enough. If his Saints and Demons religion were to expand as well, it would undoubtedly hinder his ambitions in the future.
"Red Dragon Emperor Kamiya Tenraku is this mistress's husband. Is there anything wrong with this mistress supporting her husband?" Yasaka Princess retorted, surprising everyone with her declaration.
This guy had been mocking her husband since the beginning of the meeting, and the Yasaka Princess had long been displeased with the bald-headed man!
"Hu...husband?!"
"Hey hey, brat, when did you manage to get the Nine-Tailed Princess?" The entire meeting room erupted in laughter, and even Azazel looked at Tenraku in disbelief.
While the women of the household knew about Princess Yasaka's affair with Tenraku, this was the first time the others had heard about it. No wonder their reaction was so intense. This news was explosive. Princess Yasaka was the current Nine-Tailed Fox, equal in status to the leader of the Kyoto Yokai Clan.
Moreover, each generation of Nine-Tailed Foxes were extremely proud and loyal women. Few men could win their hearts, and their bloodline inheritance was unique. Even without the need for the opposite sex, they could produce offspring. As a result, there were many lonely Nine-Tailed Foxes throughout history.
However, despite all this, the current Nine-Tailed Fox Princess had unexpectedly been won over by the Red Dragon Emperor, and it seemed that the next Nine-Tailed Fox also lived in his house?
That brat!!!
"What do you think?" Azazel's mind flashed with insight as he looked at Tenraku's smug demeanor.
"Princess, did you and Tenraku... you know, that night when you left him alone?" Azazel asked cautiously, while the Yasaka Princess blushed slightly and nodded.
Were they already dating back then? Azazel's mouth twitched. He was thoroughly impressed. If you didn't believe it, you couldn't win!
"Haha... Well done, brat. We, the Greek God System, also agree with this plan and are willing to financially support the actions of the Saints and Demons Religion," God King Zeus laughed as he spoke, expressing his support for Tenraku.
Aside from the benefits of protecting the human world for everyone, the fact that the Red Dragon Emperor suited his taste was even more important. The god-king Zeus was also known for his amorous adventures in mythology.
However, with his strict wife, the Celestial Empress Hera, he could only have secret affairs outside for fear of being caught by his formidable wife. How could he not envy Tenraku, who shamelessly expanded his harem, not to mention the Demon King's younger sister and the women around him?
Even the leader of the Yokai clan, the Nine-Tailed Princess, had been won over by him. Zeus was deeply jealous!
"We also agree with the Red Dragon Emperor's plan..."
Following the Nine-Tailed Princess and God King Zeus, one faction after another, including the Angels, Fallen Angels, Devils, and the Northern European God System, also agreed to Tenraku's plan and expressed their willingness to provide various conveniences and support to Tenraku and his Saints and Demons religion.
Since someone had taken the lead, they naturally had no reason to hesitate. In a manageable situation, they all hoped to protect the human world.
"Heavenly Emperor-sama, what about your side?" Tenraku smiled and looked at Śakro Devānām Indraḥ beside him.
After all the factions had stated their positions, only Śakro Devānām Indraḥ's side remained.
"We, from Mount Meru, have no objections," Śakro Devānām Indraḥ said, his lips twitching with displeasure.
Though he was reluctant, now that other factions had agreed, it would be pointless for him to oppose alone. He would gain nothing and only be at odds with the others.
"In the early stages of our Saint and Demon Religion's development, with few numbers and weak strength, we will need a large amount of resources and money to build protective churches in cities. I hope that Heavenly Emperor can also provide financial support," Tenraku said with a poor expression.
Śakro Devānām Indraḥ almost clenched his teeth before he spoke, "I will.
"Then, thank you, Heavenly Emperor-sama." With his goal achieved, Tenraku's triumphant smile no longer provoked the already volatile Śakro Devānām Indraḥ.
Instead, he snapped his fingers and said, "Since it's been decided that our Saints and Demons religion will protect the human world, I'd like to introduce you to some representatives of our Saints and Demons religion. They will be in charge of communicating with your subordinates and representatives."
"Take off your hats and introduce yourselves to the leaders and seniors," Tenraku instructed.
"Yes, Holy Lord-sama," They replied in unison, and the robed girls behind Tenraku removed their hats.
As expected, there were ten very beautiful girls under the robes. Just as the scriptures of the gods and demons were divided into the Holy Scriptures and the Demon Scriptures, the Saints and Demons religion was also divided into the Saintess Sect and the Demoness Sect.
Five girls in white robes exuded a pure and holy aura; they were the Saintesses of the Saintess Sect. Five girls in black robes emitted an evil aura, and they were the demonesses of the Demoness Sect.
These ten girls were outstanding believers in the Saintess and Demoness Religion, so they were honored to be recognized by their Holy Lord-sama as glorious Saintesses and Demonesses.
Of course, Saintesses and Demonesses in the Saints and Demons Religion were not limited to humans. Just as Asia and Semiria were Saintesses of the Saintess Sect, Raynare and Walburga, two insane women of darkness, were also considered Demonesses of the Demoness Sect.
Although most of these ten girls were human, there were also fallen angels, devils, and other races among them. And when Azazel saw one of the demonesses who was a Fallen Angel, his face couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.
"Hey hey, isn't that..."
