I Have a God Simulator

Having been transformed into a Hero, Boutu now had his own character portrait.

In the main illustration, a young man with a serious expression crouched on the ground, examining suspicious tracks. Behind him, soldiers slaughtered one another amidst corpses and smoke. Before him stretched a vast Golden Field of wheat, where a crowd of commoners raised their cups in celebration.

Boutu stood at the intersection of two worlds.

Beneath the portrait was a caption.

—No matter the truth, people will always find an explanation.

After being transformed into a Hero, Boutu gained new abilities.

...

[Scouting LV5]: Proficient in gathering intelligence and conducting investigations. Possesses a chance to detect negative events and disasters in advance.

...

[History]

Entered this world at age 24.

Became a member of the Yao Race at age 30.

...

According to the details on his personal panel, Boutu had offered his Fire of Faith several years ago.

Yet Boutu still insisted he was a Scout Captain of the Empire.

Luh Yao understood.

After being transformed into a Hero, an exclamation mark lit up above Boutu's head, and a box displaying his personal thoughts appeared.

"Why has it come to this..."

Boutu knelt on the ground and began to repent.

"Great Yao God, I am not worthy of being a Hero. Please, take back your Blessing."

"I am just a lost sinner…"

Luh Yao saw the [Chaos] status appear above his head.

'It's just dual citizenship. The God himself doesn't mind.' But Boutu treated it as a monumental issue, tormented by the conflict of Faith and the betrayal of loyalty.

To prevent the little person from breaking down, Luh Yao sent his chief goodwill ambassador, Isabel, to pay him a visit.

Isabel descended from the heavens and came to Boutu's side.

She spoke softly, "There is no need to worry, no need to hesitate."

"The Lord God does not care who you are or where you come from, only what you have done."

"The title of Hero is a distinction earned by far surpassing your peers. It is a reward and testament to your years of maintaining order in the city and protecting its people."

"You deserve this."

"Oh, lost one, your loyalty has earned you trust, your tenacity has earned you respect, and your contemplation has made you sharp and wise. But your suffering also stems from these same qualities."

"These things make you who you are, making you unique."

"May you carry these burdens and continue to move forward. Whether in Yan City or your distant homeland, there is a place for you to rest. The magnanimous Yao God will always protect you."

Under Isabel's counsel, Boutu's Chaos status quickly disappeared.

He seemed to have found some kind of balance and a path for himself.

Boutu said, "Lord Yao God, I understand. Thank you for your Wisdom and tolerance."

...

Having dealt with Yan City's famous detective, Luh Yao shifted his view to the Dwarf Fortress in Saniluo.

Two notifications popped up on the screen.

[Clockwork Monkey No. 4 repair complete...]

[Clockwork Monkey No. 6 repair complete...]

'Not bad efficiency.'

Luh Yao immediately questioned Philos.

The Skeleton Man reported, "Lord Yao God, their problems were much less severe."

"No. 6's cracked body has been repaired by No. 2 and No. 5. The bonding is complete, and it is functioning normally."

"No. 1 had fallen into Chaos and stolen the limbs of the other Clockwork Monkeys. We disassembled the extra parts and used them to repair No. 4, which had lost its arms."

"Furthermore, No. 1's state of Chaos was because it serves as the central hub connecting all the Clockwork Monkeys and was unable to receive feedback from the others. As long as all the other Clockwork Monkeys are gathered, it will return to normal."

Philos's explanation was concise, but Luh Yao knew that repairing these Mythical Level monkeys was by no means an easy task.

Luh Yao gave him high praise.

—You've worked hard. No one could have done a better job.

A huge exclamation mark appeared over Philos's head, which then turned into a teary-eyed expression.

"Thank you for your acknowledgment… My humble abilities are insignificant."

Now, only monkey No. 3 was missing to complete the full set.

Luh Yao switched screens, entering the Golden Field.

In the Golden Field, the White God was lying sprawled on the ground. A fatigued and Weak expression floated above his head, along with a ZZZ symbol.

Luh Yao didn't scold him this time.

Searching for the monkey here was indeed hard labor. Even with the [Treasure Hunter] Trait, it would have cost the White God a great deal of effort.

The White God was perceptive. An exclamation mark lit up over his head, and he immediately shot up, standing straight.

"Lord True God!"

"This little god dozed off… Please punish me."

—What is your progress?

"I found it! I found the last monkey!"

The White God looked into the distance. "No. 3, come here!"

At the summons, a brown monkey with a Spring Key on its head ran out of the golden grass. It ran with a wobbly gait, its arms bent as if holding two invisible watermelons, looking rather comical.

"Lord True God, No. 3 is the best-preserved of the six monkeys. It buried itself in the ground and has been sleeping the whole time."

"It's just that it buried itself so deep, it took this little god quite some effort to dig it up…"

But Luh Yao wasn't hearing any of it.

He had only one thought in his mind.

'The set is complete.'

'The Golden Field is about to be mine!'

Luh Yao immediately took out the other five monkeys from his Artifact Bar and placed them with No. 3. The White God promptly began to wind up each monkey.

As the six Clockwork Monkeys were gathered, No. 1 returned to normal.

They formed a circle and sat quietly on the ground.

A prompt appeared in the simulator.

[All six Clockwork Monkeys have been repaired.]

[You have ignited the Fire of Faith of the Golden Field.]

Luh Yao noticed that a Flame icon had appeared behind the words [Golden Field] in the center of the screen. This represented the burning Fire of Faith, something he had seen in the wish from the [Wishing Star].

At the same time, a [World] tab appeared in the upper right corner of the game interface.

There was only one entry inside.

[Main God Space · Golden Field].

The simulator had completed its certification.

But Luh Yao still hadn't figured out how to use this Main God Space.

The Silvanus Tree hadn't appeared, and it didn't feel any different from before.

'Do I have to use the monkeys?'

Luh Yao returned his attention to the six Clockwork Monkeys.

At that moment, they formed a hand. Five of the Clockwork Monkeys made up the five fingers, their curled tails stretching out and wrapping together. The last Clockwork Monkey acted as the palm's center.

In the Clockwork Monkeys' ability description, besides [Myth] and [Rule Repairer], there was also [Opening the Wilderness].

Luh Yao activated Opening the Wilderness.

The Golden Field began to tremble slightly. The Silvanus Tree slowly rose from the ground, clearly manifesting in the Main God Space. The large hand formed by the six Clockwork Monkeys nimbly burrowed into the dense canopy of the tree.

Luh Yao clicked on the tree trunk.

Three Artifact icons appeared on it.

...

[Secret Magic Robe LV5]: Randomly obtain a living, ancient Spell from within the robe. Either you command it, or it commands you.

...

[Tree-Man Seed]: Plant it in a forest to harvest one loyal Tree Person.

...

[Giant Stone Totem LV2]

Life Value: 1000/1000

Damage: 24

Defense: 12

Speed: 10

[Totem]

Select an area for permanent placement. Automatically attacks all non-believers within range.

...

These three were all previously available rewards.

This time, Luh Yao pocketed all of them.

It was worth noting that the Spell from the [Secret Magic Robe] was called [Corrosive Crow]. It could summon two crows that would forage to restore Life Value, and its effect was related to Mana. It provided no Faith Bonus or Attribute buffs, effectively being a self-contained Active Skill.

Luh Yao tossed it to Isabel.

The Forest God had left behind the Natural Three-Piece Set, but hadn't stockpiled many other Artifacts. It was unclear if this was because a Main God didn't need them, or if he had already used them all up.

Just then, clumps of the Fire of Faith ignited on the Silvanus Tree. The flames engulfed the entire giant tree, creating a magnificent spectacle.

Luh Yao clicked his mouse repeatedly. Clusters of the Fire of Faith rustled down, turning into the Faith Value in the upper-right corner.

+10,000

+10,000

...

Normally, Luh Yao hated tedious, repetitive tasks, but this time he didn't find it boring at all. He wished the job could last as long as possible.

After collecting the last cluster of the Fire of Faith, Luh Yao finally looked at the upper-right corner.

His Faith Value now displayed as 3,747,421 points.

This meant that the Forest God had left behind about 3.5 million points of the Fire of Faith here as a startup fund for his Rebirth.

Luh Yao stared at the number in the corner and giggled foolishly for a long while… then gradually calmed down.

'Actually, 3.5 million Faith isn't much for a Main God. A population of several million could generate that much, and even Titled Deities should be able to produce that amount.'

But for an Apprentice Deity like Luh Yao, pocketing this massive, Main God Level Faith Reserve was like getting rocket boosters for a takeoff.

At the same time, he had also obtained the most significant Artifact to date.
