I Have a God Simulator

Now that the White God had become a Subordinate God, he was one of his own.

The more Luh Yao looked at this White Wild Boar, the more he liked what he saw, finding it charmingly naive and utterly harmless.

It was just as the White God had said. Even if its Divine Statue was grounded, its boar Divine Body could still exist and move around without issue.

The status of a Subordinate God, however, gave Luh Yao a deeper understanding of the Divine Hall of the Gods.

A True God could see the [Population], [Faith], and [Artifacts] of their Subordinate God.

Within the Divine Hall, it was very difficult for a Subordinate God to resist a True God.

First, with their Divine Statue enshrined in the Divine Hall, it was like having their neck exposed to the True God’s blade, facing the most direct form of punishment at any moment.

Second was the Suppression and constraint from the Fire of Faith.

A small, white flame had now appeared in the bonfire. This flame was the White God’s Fire of Faith.

The Fire of Faith of a Subordinate God would merge into the True God’s bonfire, guarding and supporting the True God.

If Luh Yao wished, he could drain all of his Subordinate God’s Faith and take it for his own use.

Without a Fire of Faith, a God would lose their Divinity and the ability to perform Miracles.

As a vassal of a True God, a Subordinate God would lose a great deal of their autonomy.

But on the other hand, a Subordinate God was also protected by their True God.

Take the White God, for example.

After being enshrined in the Yao Divine Hall, He was protected by the True God’s Fire of Faith.

If the White God’s Faith was exhausted due to some irresistible force and He faced the threat of perishing, the True God, Luh Yao, could directly transfer Power of Faith to Him to support his Subordinate God. It was like the White God gaining a powerful, invisible health bar.

Of course, using Faith this way wasn’t very cost-effective.

The True God and the Subordinate God shared a single Faith pool; they prospered together and suffered together.

...

Luh Yao now had a bit of a headache.

A Subordinate God also needed Faith and a population.

In the early days, some Believers had betrayed their faith in the Yao God, and their escape had caused Luh Yao’s Faith to decrease.

With the White God’s existence, he would inevitably attract the Faith of a portion of the population, and the population count would decrease accordingly. This would be a serious form of internal friction.

The population of this Fragment World was still too small; there wasn’t enough to go around for two Gods.

Philos had said that the Gods of the Divine Hall of the Gods were constantly fighting, both openly and secretly, for Believers. ’It seems the more Gods a Divine Palace has, the more intense the internal competition becomes.’

Luh Yao decided to send the White God out to pioneer!

’Isn’t this world slowly expanding and growing?’

He would have the White God go to the ends of the world to find Believers. That way, with one of them inside and one outside, they could support each other and avoid internal competition.

The more Luh Yao thought about it, the more perfect the idea seemed.

After hearing this, the White God said cautiously, "Lord True God, um... I was thinking, could I perhaps first gather some Faith and a population here in the developed cities?"

"Right now, my strength is mediocre, so going out won’t be very effective. If I can accumulate some Faith here and bring some people with me, it should be more helpful for exploring the borders..."

Luh Yao was furious!

’You pig-headed fool!’

’How dare you covet my Faith and population.’

’You just surrendered, and you’re already trying to pick your superior’s pocket? How outrageous!’

Luh Yao immediately berated Him and banished Him to the middle of nowhere to properly reflect on His actions.

However, the White God’s next explanation made Luh Yao reconsider.

"Lord True God, this population and Faith... it’s a waste not to use them."

A question mark appeared above the White God’s head.

Luh Yao frowned, realizing there was more to it than he thought.

Upon further investigation, he learned something he had never considered.

For a True God and a Subordinate God from the same Divine Hall faction, there was no issue of snatching or conflict over population and Faith.

If a Believer believed in Luh Yao, they could also believe in the White God at the same time. Such a Believer would simultaneously provide two population points and two points of Faith.

If there was a second Subordinate God in the Divine Hall, and one Believer believed in all three Gods, it would generate a total of 3 population and 3 Faith.

Simply put, it was like getting three meals out of one fish.

However, the more Gods there were, the more diluted the Faith would become. It was difficult for Believers to be devoutly faithful to too many Gods at once. So, in the end, they could only truly believe in a few.

It was a bit like making friends.

Everyone might know many people. Some are just "like" acquaintances, others are nodding acquaintances, and only a very, very few will be true confidants.

As for population, which represented a God’s Divine Body, its effects couldn’t be simply stacked, however.

Luh Yao’s heart pounded with excitement.

’There’s strength in numbers. It seems even Gods have to band together!’

’If I find a way to get more Divine Formats in the future, I must vigorously promote the construction of a polytheistic civilization!’

’Divine Faith must also be diversified and developed in multiple ways. Only then can I increase Faith yield and accelerate the internal circulation!’

Luh Yao immediately granted the White God’s request, first tossing him over to the neighboring Yan City. The city’s development had seen some Stagnation recently and needed a God to go over and provide some stimulation. The White God was a perfect fit.

Moments after he was installed in the Yan City Divine Hall, the White God’s stats panel changed.

Population: 32 Faith: 10

Luh Yao’s own population and Faith hadn’t decreased at all.

This made him completely relax.

After a while, a notification popped up on the screen.

[Yao City has developed a fanatical worship for you due to the appearance of a Subordinate God. Your Faith has greatly increased.]

Luh Yao glanced at the interface.

Faith: 21,921

The current population of Yao City was around 12,000, and each person had generated 1 additional point of Faith.

This unexpected windfall made Luh Yao beam with joy. The more Faith Reserve he had, the more freely he could operate.

...

The arrival of the Subordinate God brought a series of changes to Yan City.

The first was the Divine Hall.

Normally, the Yan City Divine Hall had few worshipers. But ever since the White God appeared, citizens came in an endless stream to pray. They knelt outside the Divine Hall, piously presenting the Sacrificial Offerings they had brought.

Some brought coral, some brought salted fish, some brought cured meat, and there were also some gems and Sea Shells.

Compared to the solemn and dignified theological atmosphere of Yao City, the people of Yan City were more worldly and direct.

Of course, the Sacrificial Offerings weren’t given for free.

The praying citizens all had their own wishes.

"Lord God, please bless my business this year so I can make a huge fortune."

"Great Yao God above, majestic Lord White God, please listen to your follower’s humble plea. I beg you, Lord White God, give me a ship filled with pearls!"

"Lord White God, you are a God who symbolizes wealth. I beg to receive a tiny sliver of your glory. Please grant me a room full of gems and Agate. Not too much, just one room will do..."

"Most honored God, I desperately hope to receive your guidance. Please tell me in which direction I can find treasure. Once I succeed, I will surely come here every day to worship you and praise your greatness and honor!"

...

Luh Yao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

’As expected of Yan City, a gathering place for merchants. Even their prayers and wishes are mainly for wealth.’

The White God was so sought after here partly because He had once bestowed many gems upon His Believers. This was also the effect of His special ability, [Treasure Hunter].

Luh Yao watched with great interest to see how the White God would handle this situation.

A moment later, the White God actually produced a Prophet.

This Prophet was draped in vibrant, multicolored feathers and exuded an air of nobility. It was none other than Doron Nunu.

The wealthy Chieftain had transformed into a pivotal Prophet in the Divine Hall.

Doron Nunu stood outside the Divine Hall, holding a Golden Scepter. His feathers were adorned with sparkling gems, a picture of extreme luxury.

A dialogue box appeared above his head: "Citizens! Lord White God has heard your prayers and requests. And He is willing to grant your wishes for wealth!"

"Now, Lord White God has given me the guidance to endless treasures, which I shall announce to you all!"

The little people swarmed around, surrounding the Divine Hall so tightly that it was impenetrable.

When it came to treasure, Doron Nunu was a very convincing figure.

Doron Nunu waved the Golden Scepter. "Want this world’s treasure? If you do, it’s all yours! Go find it! Follow the Great Path of Dreams!"

"The place with vast treasures, with mountains of gold, gems, pearls, and precious Sacrificial Offerings, lies to the north!"

"Your courage and perseverance will be richly rewarded in the north!"

The citizens were in an uproar.

Many merchants and sailors boarded their galleys that very day and headed north, beginning their treasure-hunting journey. All of Yan City was immersed in a frenzy for the god’s treasure...

Luh Yao typed above the White God’s head.

—Are there really treasures in the north?

The White God said cautiously, "Lord True God, not many people have been to the world’s borders. They might indeed have a chance to find some treasures, and they can also spread the Divine Faith..."

Luh Yao was stunned for a moment.

’Who would doubt the Oracle of a God?’

’As long as one person finds a so-called treasure, everyone else will be greatly inspired.’

In short.

With just a few words, the White God had revitalized all of Yan City, launching a vigorous expedition of exploration and treasure hunting.

Luh Yao sighed to himself.

’Tossing the White God into Yan City was a classic case of one side being willing to strike and the other willing to be struck—a perfect match.’
