I Have a God Simulator

The game interface transformed into a vast, dazzling golden field.

Luh Yao wondered if it was his imagination. He felt that the Golden Field had become a bit clearer, and the golden plants on the ground were no longer blurry.

A card flew out from the Silvanus Tree.

On the card was a black Wizard Hat with a conspicuous green leaf tied to it.

...

[Natural Magic Hat LV10]: Faith +10/hour, Mana Value +800.

A Magic Hat of unknown origin, enchanted with the spell [Unstable Hat Trick].

Requirement: [Wisdom LV20]

...

[Unstable Hat Trick](800)

Conjures a Magic Hat to place on a creature, temporarily transforming it into another life form. The result is unpredictable; it will most likely become weaker, but has a small chance of becoming stronger.

...

Luh Yao's eyes lit up.

'A High-Level Control Spell!'

When encountering a very powerful monster or Apostle, he could just put the hat on them to forcibly weaken them.

Of course, if he was unlucky, it might also temporarily transform them into a terrifying monster.

Luh Yao pondered.

'This ability might be useful for a field test against the Curse Insects on the Abyss First Layer.'

Luh Yao equipped Isabel with the Magic Hat.

Isabel put on the black Magic Hat. Riding her Magic Staff and holding the Magic Book, Natural Secret Language, she looked like a classic Witch.

Unfortunately, there was no so-called set bonus.

"My Lord, I feel like something is still missing."

Isabel reported, "It might be missing a similar piece of equipment. That's why, although they've reacted to each other, the final, wondrous change hasn't occurred yet."

'It seems the set isn't complete yet.'

Luh Yao felt a slight sense of regret. It would be impossible to take the next step anytime soon.

A related notification appeared on the simulator.

[The Silvanus Tree has fallen into a slumber.]

[The Forest Elemental Civilization yearns for a God's guidance and Blessing. A God is needed to enter the Golden Field and complete the divine trial. The Silvanus Tree will offer a precious treasure in gratitude and will officially open the Forest God's vault.]

The Golden Field became calm and tranquil once more.

Luh Yao took a bite of an apple.

This was a clear hint. It wanted him to let Isabel, who could create Forest Elemental Creatures, obtain a Divine Format. Then he was to send her into the Golden Field to tackle that trial instance.

According to the process, Sailor Li, having regained her memories and Divine Format, would receive a series of benefits in the Golden Field, including the Divinity left behind by the Forest God.

The Main God's rebirth in disguise would then be complete.

Luh Yao mused, 'When I have some free time, I could send the White God in for some training. Strictly speaking, it is one of the orthodox successors to the Forest God. It's just sitting idle anyway, so going in to hunt for treasure is a perfect fit.'

However, the White God currently had a mission: to keep an eye on the Pine Slipper God in the valley.

...

Luh Yao turned his attention back to the valley.

The Pine Slipper God was still working tirelessly. It constantly used Divine Miracles to create large swathes of pine trees, rarely keeping any Faith in its Faith Reserve.

Perhaps in its perception and understanding, frantic expansion was the best method of self-preservation.

Of course, it was also possible that the Pine Slipper God's native world had a different set of values.

Luh Yao watched the entire operation of an Otherworld Divine Player from a God's-eye view, feeling a mix of curiosity and confusion, but also finding it a relaxing and rewarding experience.

Unlike a human player, the Pine Slipper God's believer growth rate was quite impressive.

Squirrels reproduced extremely quickly. The field mice on the ground gradually became Pine Slipper Field Mice, the monkeys were converted into Pine Slipper Monkeys, and the snakes turned into Pine Slipper Snakes... Within the range of the pine trees, all sorts of animals were continuously assimilated.

Only Extraordinary Creatures were unaffected.

The Pine Slipper God's strength was its extremely fast development speed. It could carpet large areas with pine forests in a short time and use the forests as its base of operations to constantly expand outward.

However, its weakness was also obvious.

The Pine Slipper God's Believers were all converted from animals. Their intellectual foundation was even worse than that of primitive humans, and their civilization's development was exceptionally slow.

Using True Sight Curse, Luh Yao saw that it already had over 3,000 Believers. However, the outward manifestation of the pine tree civilization was just squirrels gathering berries and modifying their nests, repeating this generation after generation in an extremely primitive manner.

The Pine Slipper God didn't inspire any more Prophets or Heroes. It was as if their births had only been for the sake of planting more trees faster and expanding the forest.

Luh Yao observed for a long time and finally confirmed it.

The Pine Slipper God only wanted to spread its forest to gain a larger area of influence and convert all the surrounding animals into Believers.

Because its Believers were animals with an extremely high reproduction rate, and with the lack of predators in the area, their numbers constantly increased, causing the Pine Slipper God's Faith to grow at a rapid pace.

A wonder was born in the trees.

...

[Canopy City]: A wonder city built by the Pine Slipper Rats, storing large quantities of pinecones and pine nuts.

All residents of Canopy City gain Morale +1, and the growth speed of surrounding plants is slightly increased.

...

From its appearance in the valley to the construction of a wonder, the Pine Slipper God had taken only two days.

Luh Yao couldn't help but marvel.

'Nature-type players certainly have their unique advantages.'

There was just one thing Luh Yao wasn't happy about.

The Pine Slipper God was always trying to spread its pine trees up the mountains, wanting to cross the valley and basin to enter the outside world.

'The outside world is dangerous. Wouldn't it be better to develop peacefully here and then undergo Ascension?'

The White God would use Stamping to destroy any pine trees that spread too far, controlling the scale of the forested area. Occasionally, Luh Yao would also call down a few lightning strikes to start localized fires, preventing the squirrels from overpopulating and encroaching on the living space of other creatures.

Under Luh Yao's controlled, artificial interventions, the Pine Slipper God was completely submissive, obediently continuing to spread its trees.

On the third day, the Divine Statue suddenly emitted a soft white glow, and a spiral staircase of light rose from the statue high into the sky.

A swirling nebula appeared in the sky. Within the nebula, the silhouette of a Palace emerged, reflecting the white light from the Divine Statue.

Luh Yao watched with a surge of excitement.

'Is it about to enter the Divine Hall of the Gods?'

'So this is what the Ascension of an Apprentice Deity looks like.'

Luh Yao immediately prepared for two possibilities.

If there were no issues, he would let it ascend normally. If anything fishy happened, he would deal with it promptly.

Streaks of light also began to appear on the ground around the Pine Slipper God. These lights enveloped the entire central part of the valley, and the ground began to tremble violently. It looked as if it was about to uproot the entire Core Area.

Not only that, but the Divine Statue also began to emit a large amount of red mist. This poisonous mist enveloped the surrounding Fighting Shovel Armors, Monster Strength Grass, and small animals, causing them to become Poisoned to varying degrees.

'That's going too far.'

'It not only wants to pack up and take the whole valley with it, but it's also trying to poison and destroy everything it can't take.'

Luh Yao frowned.

'Then there's nothing more to be said.'

After receiving the command, the White God unleashed Stamping, crushing down on the Divine Statue.

At the same time, the Snowman, which had been lying in wait in the mountains, appeared riding the Juvenile Dragon Pasha. Its red glove swiped at the Divine Statue and pulled out an Artifact.

In the top-right corner of the game interface: Faith +1583.

At this point, Luh Yao also activated his long-unused lightning, striking the Pine Slipper God's Divine Statue directly.

The Divine Statue instantly shattered, turning into a pile of rubble.

In an instant, the light in the valley faded, and the silhouette of the Divine Hall of the Gods in the sky vanished without a trace.

Luh Yao looked at the ruins of the Divine Statue on the ground and began to review and summarize the events.

'Next time, I should give them a warning in advance.'

'Ascension is fine, but they can only leave with their bags packed... But even if I were to be open and honest from the start, it would most likely end in mutual suspicion. It's an unsolvable problem.'

The cost of effective communication and the risks associated with outside Gods were too high. They were far less reliable and easy to deal with than a local God like the White God.

Luh Yao couldn't help but think.

'Getting to know another God is probably like falling in love. Finding the right one requires not only sincerity, but also a bit of fate.'
