I Have a God Simulator

After arriving in the Yao Race World, Slime Mod was curious about everything, from the orderly crowds in the cities to the Extraordinary Species in the wild.

It pleaded, "Lord God, I have only just arrived and there is much I do not understand. My past knowledge is of no use here. If I could create clones of myself, I could learn faster and do my best not to hold back the other Apostles."

Luh Yao was pleased with its self-awareness and humility, so he gave it free rein.

At present, the other Apostles were each stationed in a specific city.

Isabel served as a mobile unit, Selena held the fort in Yao City, the Blood Knight was at Yan City Castle (though he was currently putting Pasha through some intense training), Philos permanently resided in the Dwarf Fortress near Saniluo, the Snowman lived in the Dragon Nest, Pinkman was growing roses in the Divine Valley, and the Catfish-Head was teaching logic in Yunzhong Temple.

As for the two cities in the Northern New World, they were being managed by two Subordinate Gods.

Luh Yao decided to station Slime Mod in Canopy City for the time being.

Although it bordered the Rose Garden, Pinkman paid no mind to the squirrels, so it would be good to have an Apostle there to guide them.

Slime Mod formally took up residence in Canopy City.

Its main body remained on the tree, while its Grid Limbs split off to become several individuals who entered Yao City’s Divinity School and Medical College, Yan City’s School of Engineering, and other institutions to study alongside ordinary apprentices.

Slime Mod was also the first Apostle to attend school.

For a long time, the Eighth Apostle remained dedicated to its studies. Its Grid Limb Clones spread across every continent, conducting field research to understand the current state of the natural environment and its changes.

...

Luh Yao saw that on the Silvanus Tree, the [Faith Extraction] option next to the Abyss had turned from gold to gray, indicating it was unusable.

This round had extracted 16 million Fire of Faith. However, the last extraction had been when the Forest God was still alive, which was many, many years ago.

Extracting this much Faith again would require another long wait.

Luh Yao couldn’t help but wonder if there was a way to optimize the Black Abyss and accelerate the accumulation of the Fire of Faith.

He thought of two methods.

The first was to expand the base operation, which meant finding more powerful Gods or Gods Tier monsters to throw in, increasing their conflict with the Curse Insects.

The second was to take a hands-on approach: go "Jungling" in the depths of the Abyss to harvest some Fire of Faith from the Curse Insects.

Both methods would require considerable time and effort, involving a process of trial and error.

Luh Yao thought for a moment and decided to play it safe.

At the moment, his Faith Reserve was more than sufficient. The long-term stability of the Abyss was what mattered most.

As he was pondering his future plans, messages popped up in the simulator.

[Yao City has presented a Sacrificial Offering.]

[Yan City has presented a Sacrificial Offering.]

[Saniluo has presented a Sacrificial Offering.]

Luh Yao opened the notifications one by one.

Yao City’s Sacrificial Offering was a small silver box.

...

[Silver-Buttoned Lacquer Box]: Faith +1/hour.

It can be used to store Artifacts, allowing their Life Value or durability to recover slowly.

...

It was an automatic repair box.

Yan City’s offering was a red feathered hat.

...

[Feather Crown]: Faith +1/hour.

The wearer can transform into a Mad Flame Bird.

...

This was a transformation Artifact.

Saniluo’s offering was rather special.

...

[Off-Road Rabbit Skirt]: Faith +1/hour.

The wearer will not be attacked on sight by Forest Elemental Creatures.

[Bonus 1/3]

Collect the full Off-Road Rabbit Hero Set to command the Off-Road Rabbit legion.

...

Luh Yao was stunned.

’I’d always thought the Nature series of items Isabel obtained from Winnie, the [Lady of Nature], was a set. I never expected the real set would actually be the three-piece Off-Road Rabbit set.’

’Fire Seed Artifacts are generated by the world’s Rule Power, so what kind of mechanism creates a set?’

Luh Yao activated the [Eye of True Sight] and looked at the white leather skirt.

Under the Main God Spell, an additional line of text appeared in the skirt’s description.

—The heroic deeds of the Heroic Off-Road Rabbit won the entire race a new space to survive. From the wilderness to the cities, from bushes to hutches, from fleeing in the wild to racing to deliver messages, they have had losses and gains. The Off-Road Rabbit race will forever remember their past hero, the runner who brought them the Fire Seed.

Luh Yao checked the backend entries and found the corresponding information.

Rule Power creates Fire Seed Artifacts not only through the world’s natural processes, but also through the struggles and efforts of living beings. Legendary deeds accomplished by a Hero have a chance of creating a special type of Fire Seed Artifact: a series set.

The source of the [Off-Road Rabbit Hero Set] was indeed the very Off-Road Rabbit that had run everywhere to warn of the volcanic eruption.

’I just don’t know when I’ll be able to complete the set.’

’Although the Off-Road Rabbit set’s abilities were barely better than nothing, the fact that it was a set created a compulsion to complete it. A three-piece set needs to be whole and complete.’

Luh Yao wasn’t worried, though.

No more Apprentice Deities would appear in this world, and any Fire Seed Artifact that came into existence could be tracked. The Off-Road Rabbit set would be completed eventually.

He turned his attention back to the Golden Field’s backend interface.

Luh Yao was a novice at controlling the Vortex World. Piloting such a massive vessel required a lot of practice.

The Vortex World was missing many of its rules, which paradoxically lowered the difficulty of operating it. However, because its mass was dozens of times greater than the Yao Race World’s, controlling its direction was much more difficult. The latency from its cosmic drift was more pronounced, making turns incredibly slow.

Luh Yao placed his mouse over [Sail].

He glanced at the top right corner.

Each second of acceleration cost 450,000 Fire of Faith.

’The fuel consumption on this big rig really is high.’

’Brute-force ramming is a great strategy, but I can’t use it too often.’

He resisted the impulse and, for now, gave up on the expensive joyride.

Compared to accelerating via the [Sail] command, the [Rule Repair] function in the Vortex World’s backend was far less costly.

For example, by making a slight modification between the [World Overlap] and [Rule Traction] rule entries, he could expend Fire of Faith to accelerate the rotation of the Ring Realm Group surrounding the Vortex World.

In addition to modifying descriptions and data, this operation also allowed him to use his mouse to drag ownerless Gravel Worlds during the repair process.

He could even perform targeted pulls on a few specific worlds, or even just a single one.

Previously, Luh Yao had already spent a fair amount of Faith trying to eject the [Ghost Realm] he’d captured along his path. But its God had seemingly gotten addicted to hitching a free ride; after being thrown off, it just came right back, determined to cling to his "big rig."

Now, Luh Yao was about to conduct another experiment.

He dragged two Gravel Worlds and made them collide.

Before they could touch, they would slide apart, like two magnets with the same polarity. The Rule Power of the two worlds created a mutually repulsive phenomenon, preventing them from colliding head-on and destroying each other.

Luh Yao discovered he could break this restriction simply by accelerating the Gravel Worlds.

He consumed 30,000 Faith, using the Vortex World to accelerate the two Gravel Worlds.

While accelerated, the orbits of the two fingernail-sized Gravel Worlds changed, and in their rapid movement, they finally collided head-on.

The impact triggered a white ripple that spread outward, then quickly vanished without a trace.

The two colliding Gravel Worlds partially merged, spinning slowly in place. They shed a large amount of debris that continuously drifted out into the void.

After a while, they slowly drifted apart, but both were now mangled and incomplete, still shedding fragments. It reminded Luh Yao of the destroyed Starfish Divine Kingdom, [Late Realm].

The destruction of the two Gravel Worlds was accelerating.

’A bold idea occurred to Luh Yao.’

’If I accelerate them long enough, could these Gravel Worlds orbiting the Vortex World be turned into some kind of World Level cannonballs? If I launch them at a Divine Kingdom, I wonder if the Gods could withstand the impact.’

He wanted to give it a try.
