I Have a God Simulator

Luh Yao unleashed another 50 bolts of lightning onto the Divine Statue.

Without the protection of its Apostle and the ability to move, the Divine Statue was a sitting duck on the sea. It instantly turned to dust under the lightning. Two items flew out from the statue and floated on the water’s surface, where they were successively captured by the Deep Sea Lord.

A notification appeared on the screen.

[Haili God’s Faith has completely vanished from the vicinity. His Believers will begin to search for a new God.]

Only then did Luh Yao relax.

’It doesn’t matter if what Philos said was true or not. As long as I take out Haili God, everything will be fine.’

’Without the support of the Fire of Faith, his Apostle will fall into a deep slumber, even if he’s still somewhere in this world. Just like Isabel in the past.’

Luh Yao dragged the two pieces of dropped loot into his Artifact Bar and began to inspect them one by one.

The first was a stone with a sparkling surface.

...

[All-Purpose Stone LV10]: A basic material for Forging treasures; a rare mineral. Can be used for a one-time upgrade on an Artifact below LV10.

...

’A High-Level All-Purpose Stone, of all things.’

’So that’s how it is. All-Purpose Stones can be improved in quality by raising their level.’

’I’ve been careless.’

’I was completely in the dark before.’

’Who says an enhancement item can’t enhance itself?’

What surprised him most was the final part of the description: "can be used for a one-time upgrade on an Artifact below LV10." This wasn’t on the original All-Purpose Stone. ’The success rate should be pretty good,’ he thought.

Luh Yao moved his view on the map to Abyssal Island.

Snowman Jimmy was resting outside, his Mana completely depleted.

Luh Yao took the [Ghost White Horse] from him, then selected the All-Purpose Stone that was still new in his Artifact Bar, and combined the two.

[Refine (10 Faith)]

Luh Yao clicked the icon, and a box appeared on the screen.

[Please insert the Artifact to be enhanced.]

Luh Yao threw the [Ghost White Horse] straight in.

In the center of the screen, the white horse was enveloped by the Fire of Faith.

A moment later.

[Refining Successful].

...

[Ghost White Horse LV6]: Faith +1/hour, Defense +12, Speed +24, Life Value +240. Unrestricted by terrain. Summon the Spirit of the White Horse to activate [High-Level Disguise LV5].

...

After being Refined with the All-Purpose Stone, all of the horse’s Attributes had increased.

Luh Yao was very satisfied with this result.

The Ghost White Horse was his most important piece of equipment for a single unit. Strengthening the horse meant strengthening his team of Apostles.

As for using an LV10 All-Purpose Stone on an LV5 Artifact, Luh Yao didn’t consider it a waste. Faith could be accumulated over time. The urgent priority was to increase his immediate combat power and the depth of his roster.

After using the All-Purpose Stone, Luh Yao turned his attention to the next piece of loot.

...

[Treasure Hunting Compass LV2]: Faith +2/hour.

Wind the spring, and the Compass will provide guidance. But whether the needle points to treasure or disaster, no one knows. May you have enough luck on your side.

...

’This is a double-edged sword of an Artifact, and it has to do with luck again.’

’Luck? Fortune?’

Luh Yao suddenly remembered. The higher the Luck attribute, the easier it was to trigger random beneficial events.

The Snowman was the strongest of his three Apostles in this regard.

Jimmy not only had 10 points in Luck, but also 10 points in Morale.

Each point of Luck gave a 4% chance to deal double damage with an attack and trigger a random beneficial event.

Each point of Morale gave a 4% chance to enter a high-morale state. In that state, movement speed and attack speed would double for 10 seconds.

’High movement speed and high luck... no wonder the Snowman is rarely discovered when he uses [Hand of Fire Stealing].’

It seemed, then, that this Compass was also most suitable for Jimmy to wield.

Luh Yao immediately equipped the Artifact on the Snowman.

"Lord God, thank you so much for your favor and your Blessing!"

Jimmy happily stuffed the Compass into his own forehead.

"Jimmy will definitely find the best treasures for you and get you more of the Fire of Faith."

The Snowman’s morale soared.

"With this Treasure Hunting Compass, Jimmy will go to the Mirror Country to find the Tyrant! I’ll definitely find all the Fire of Faith he’s hidden and offer it all to you."

Luh Yao was startled and quickly typed a message.

—Wait for my command.

’He can’t just go there.’

’That Tyrant is a Demigod.’

Luh Yao didn’t want the Snowman he had worked so hard to cultivate to be slaughtered by the Tyrant in their very first encounter.

"I obey your command."

Seeing that his God had spoken, Jimmy immediately knelt on the ground in reverence, his Snowball head nearly touching the floor.

Luh Yao heaved a sigh of relief.

Among his three Apostles, Snowman Jimmy was the one who gave him headaches.

The guy was full of possibilities, but also full of instabilities. He had a high ceiling, but also a low floor.

With the battle and loot distribution concluded, it was time for review and verification.

...

"My Lord, the Fire of Faith was extinguished only a short while ago. Philos’s Wandering Soul has not yet sunk into the Sea of Mourning, so his memories are still intact."

Isabel petitioned, "Do you require further questioning?"

When Luh Yao heard this, he thought, ’Of course I do.’

However, finding the dead Apostle Philos this time was no easy task.

Isabel continuously used her abilities, trying for nearly half an hour before she finally located Philos among the many Wandering Souls at sea.

She communicated with the Dead Black Ball for a while, providing a simultaneous translation for Luh Yao.

"My Lord, Haili God has indeed fallen."

"Philos said that Haili God entered this Fragment World under the orders of the [Whistleblower]. He was one of the Gods, and his purpose was to find a key. That key was hidden by another of the [Whistleblower]’s Subordinate Gods, the Prayer God."

Luh Yao understood.

’It’s still about the key.’

’It’s just that the Whistleblower doesn’t seem to know that the key isn’t for opening the Golden Field, but for entering the Black Abyss.’

Luh Yao was very curious as to how one of the Gods like Haili God could enter a Fragment World.

"Through Demotion."

Isabel explained, "The Gods cannot enter Fragment Worlds, but if they fall from the Divine Hall of the Gods and revert to Apprentice Deities, they are no longer bound by the world’s rules."

"However, this Demotion process is extremely painful. For a God, it’s like severing their own limbs and reverting to the state of an infant. It causes the Gods to lose the vast majority of their power, retaining only their most basic Divine Statue, Faith, and Apostles... and they also lose the ability to move on their own."

"Additionally, there is a limit on Faith. The maximum amount of Faith that can be brought into a Fragment World through Demotion is 5,000 points. Any excess Fire of Faith will be rejected by the world and dissipate."

"Even so, passing through the world’s barrier is still an incredibly difficult and painful ordeal."

"After their rank fell, Haili God was removed from the Divine Hall of the Gods and could no longer contact the [Whistleblower]."

Luh Yao took a sip of the hot tea that Xiaohuo had prepared.

’All in all,’ he mused, ’the ones who entered weren’t Gods, but Apprentice Deities. With the 5,000-point Faith limit imposed by the Fragment World’s rules, there’s nothing to be afraid of.’

Luh Yao had some experience dealing with Apprentice Deities, possessing a relatively rich history of interactions with them.

"But besides Haili God, another one of the Gods was also sent in."

Isabel continued, "He is called [Tao God], and his strength is comparable to Haili God’s."

"The difference is that Haili God was a ruler of the seas, whereas Tao God has strong control over the land and is far more skilled at concealment."

Luh Yao narrowed his eyes as he listened.

’Another enemy lurking in the shadows.’

Luh Yao typed.

—Try to persuade Philos to surrender.

Isabel and the Dead Black Ball once again engaged in an encrypted conversation.

When Isabel drew her Holy Sword and entered a combat stance, Philos’s translucent skull appeared within the black ball.

He immediately and firmly declared his willingness to follow Yao God and fight for the great Yao God!
