I Have a God Simulator

Thousands of Curse-Sealed Monsters surged forward relentlessly.

These large black insects resembled an endless tide, but they shattered on impact against the Tyrant and the Blood Knight. The enormous gap in their Tiers rendered sheer numbers meaningless.

Luh Yao clicked on one of the insects and found that all its stats were mediocre. Their levels ranged from LV10 to LV30, and the only decent thing about them was the [Robust] ability, which allowed them to maintain their fighting spirit for extended periods.

They were practically worker ants created by the Curse Insects.

Two minutes later, not a single living Curse-Sealed Monster remained on the central island. The ground was blanketed with a layer of black insect corpses.

The speed at which the Egg Shell produced Curse-Sealed Monsters could no longer keep up with the Apostles' kill rate.

The Curse-Sealed Monsters rushing back as reinforcements from all directions had yet to arrive.

To the Clay Race, the Parasite Insect's Egg Shell was Indestructible, but that was only because their attacks were too weak.

Boosted by the [Forest Sword], the Tyrant's damage reached 347, while the Blood Knight's was 195.

The two Apostles climbed all the way to the top of the giant sphere and began hacking away at the Egg Shell with a flurry of swift strikes.

-253

-101

...

Red damage numbers continuously rose from the Egg Shell.

A short while later, the Egg Shell, which was already low on health, cracked open. A pile of black slime oozed out, and its data panel vanished without a trace.

Strangely, three clusters of flames flickered within the ruptured Egg Shell.

Luh Yao clicked his mouse.

Faith +1000

Faith +1000

Faith +930

He had a realization. 'The Egg Shell can't use the Fire of Faith. It's just a vessel imitating a Divine Statue. No wonder the Faith burst out.'

Luh Yao immediately recalled the seal on the first layer.

The golden seal that held the [Overwriting Insect] had 32 clusters of flames on it. That must have been the Fire of Faith stored within the Curse Insect's body, which the Forest God had extracted and used for the seal itself.

This time, the [Parasite Insect]'s Egg Shell also had Fire of Faith stored inside.

'This means...'

'The Curse Insects have probably hoarded a large amount of the Fire of Faith.'

Some of this Faith came from the Demigods they hunted, and some was forcibly plundered and extracted through methods like the Curse Seal. If the Curse Insects were left to grow and develop, they might eventually evolve into a different kind of wild God.

Luh Yao cut off his racing thoughts.

There was something more important at hand: the [Wishing Star].

Luh Yao moved his mouse over the giant stone sphere.

...

[Wishing Star LV12]: Faith +12/hour. Can initiate [Prayer Moment].

An Epic Artifact created from the legacies of numerous civilizations. [Prayer Moment] can collect and perceive the wishes and vows of all living beings. If a wish is fulfilled, it can be converted into Fire of Faith.

Requirements:

Apostle (0/1)

Not a Curse Insect (1/1)

[Epic]

An Immortal masterpiece created by many civilizations based on their legends and History, having survived the passing of Eras.

...

'Huh?'

'So it really can grant wishes.'

Luh Yao discovered that this Artifact was rather special.

First, it was an [Epic Artifact], its Tier had broken past LV10, and its Faith generation was even higher than that of the Nature series.

Furthermore, it required an Apostle to control or equip it.

Luh Yao finally understood why the Curse Insect hadn't taken this thing with it.

Not only was it too large, but Curse Insects couldn't use it at all.

Luh Yao double-clicked and happily accepted it. The giant stone sphere rapidly shrank and merged into his Artifact Bar, leaving only a hemispherical pit on the island.

After stowing away his most important prize, he turned his attention back to the second layer.

Compared to the first layer, the Abyss Second Layer seemed much more orderly.

According to the native, Bianye, a long, long time ago, the second layer had also been in a state of Chaos. But the Star Sea God brought order to this place, exterminating the various monsters in the sea and stabilizing the layer.

After that, the Clay Race gradually came into being from the mud.

Luh Yao learned from Selena that this Star Sea God's Divine Body was a giant mud monster, and the so-called Holy Land was actually formed from the corpses and remains of other Earth Element monsters.

The Dark God had trapped the Earth Element God and creatures in the waters of this layer, forcing them to endure the constant, agonizing pain of their bodies being stripped away and to fall into a cycle of mutual slaughter.

Only the victors could stand on the bodies of others and continue their miserable existence.

It was another form of prolonged torture.

At Luh Yao's command, Isabel had Bianye go find the other members of the Clay Race and lead these remaining survivors to the first layer. Although Ghouls would slowly spawn there, at least there was some room for survival. Since these little clay people couldn't be taken out of the Abyss for now, this was the only temporary arrangement possible.

A lightbulb appeared over the stunned Bianye's head. He immediately knelt on the ground. "Thank you, great Yao God! Thank you for the help of the Lord Apostles! Thank you for the God's permission!"

"Please allow me to express the most sincere gratitude of the Clay Race to you, Lord God! Without your arrival, we surely would have had no way to survive..."

The little man was so excited he became incoherent.

He then went to the edge of the Holy Land island, found a Water Nest, and jumped in. The mud ball then floated off into the surrounding area.

Isabel also went over to help, searching from the air for any surviving Old People.

Meanwhile, the Tyrant and the Blood Knight began to search this layer for any holes.

In the center of the island, after the [Wishing Star] was gone, only a huge, empty pit remained. There were no suspicious passages or fissures.

Everyone searched for a while, and in the end, it was the Snowman who made a discovery.

"Lord God, in the sky! There's a hole in the sky!"

Jimmy's red glove pointed toward the sky.

Luh Yao raised his perspective and looked toward that area, and sure enough, he found a tear. It was inconspicuous and extremely small, easy to overlook.

Only when the mouse hovered over it did the words [Unknown Fissure] appear.

Luh Yao had no experience with mending the sky, and for a moment, he felt a headache coming on.

Selena said, "My lord, there's no need to patch it. Just destroying it will be enough."

"Just like the fissure on the tenth layer, passages like this are very fragile. They contain inherent turbulence, and even a little damage will completely change the rules governing them."

Luh Yao thought, 'I see.'

He blasted the fissure with a few bolts of lightning, then switched to a Hurricane, and finally even tried hitting it with an Earthquake.

He hadn't expected an Earthquake to actually work on a spatial fissure.

After this series of actions, the [Unknown Fissure] in the sky collapsed completely, turning into a Twisted Vortex that looked somewhat eerie. This time, nothing was displayed.

'Done!'

Fixing a hole wasn't easy, but breaking a passage was simple.

...

Satisfied, Luh Yao led his team in a retreat.

The Clay Race had already migrated to the first layer. Numbering less than a hundred, they were nevertheless survivors of a catastrophe. They would start their lives anew on the first layer.

As for the passage from the second layer to the third, and other detailed explorations of this layer, he would get to them when he had time.

'Time to clock out for the day.'

The Faith gained from the Abyss Second Layer replenished what was consumed on the first, with a small surplus left over.

Most importantly, Luh Yao couldn't wait to try out the [Wishing Star] and see what would happen when the little people made their wishes.

...

「Many years after Luh Yao led his team away.」

Suddenly, monstrous waves roiled in the water, and a soft-bodied creature covered in mud emerged from the vortex. It walked step by step onto the Holy Land, staring at the depression in the center of the island.

"Damn you, you foul insects! Don't think this is enough to make me fall... The Star Sea is Undying!"

The mud monster let out a furious roar!

"Who was it! Who stole my [Wishing Star]!"

Its gaze swept across the surroundings, but it could find neither enemies nor Believers. For a moment, it could only roar at the sky in fury.

"Damn it! Damn it all!"

Finally, it looked up at the pitch-black vortex overhead, its gaze gloomy.

"Damn you, insects! You've reduced my years of work to nothing..."

"Just you wait! Wait for me down there! I will tear you apart one by one and devour you!"

"You're not the only ones who can launch a sneak attack! I swear, I will repay you an eye for an eye, a hundred times over!"

It walked toward the deep pit left behind by the [Wishing Star], opened a fissure, and slipped inside, beginning its path of revenge.
