I Have a God Simulator

Luh Yao selected two Calamity Beasts from the Guest Monk. One specialized in creating droughts, and the other possessed a flood-inducing trait.

But after being released into the Ghost Realm, for some reason, they showed no signs of their former destructive selves.

The two Calamity Beasts strolled peacefully through the mountains, chatting and laughing merrily, enjoying a tranquil life in the new world with a Zen-like attitude.

Luh Yao couldn't help but curse when he saw this.

'Damn!'

'Just when I need your professional skills, you all decide to turn over a new leaf!'

'Wait a minute.'

Luh Yao noticed that both Calamity Beasts now had the [Wisdom] Trait.

Wisdom could suppress instinct.

Previously, the Calamity Beasts had immediately resumed wreaking havoc upon returning to the Yao Race World because they lacked Wisdom.

The key variable was Wisdom.

Luh Yao had bittersweet feelings about this.

He was pleased that the Guest Monk's teachings had been effective. The Calamity Beasts had indeed been reformed through their training at Yunzhong Temple, suppressing the influence of their Rule Power. They had transformed from instinct-driven beasts into masters of their own consciousness.

The sad part was that they were useless for his current needs.

Soon, Luh Yao discovered that the two Calamity Beasts still retained their abilities.

When they were together, they neutralized each other's disastrous effects, so it wasn't apparent. But once they were separated by a short distance, they would still radiate drought and humidity into their surroundings.

So, Luh Yao found their respective entries in the backend and wrote the corresponding commands.

The Calamity Beasts appeared, causing flooded regions to quickly become dry and normal, while also restoring moisture to arid, desertifying areas.

They attracted the attention and surveillance of the local Apostles.

But upon seeing the Calamity Beasts actually repairing the world, exclamation points and question marks appeared above the heads of the three little Apostle figures. They had clearly never seen such a spectacle.

Luh Yao glanced over.

The Ghost God's Apostles, Blo LV30, and Hubbard LV31.

The King of Bamboo Reed's subordinate was a bit stronger: Zhur Nan LV35.

'Their strength is mediocre at best.'

Yan Jiu quickly rushed to the side of the Calamity Beasts.

He stood in front of the Calamity Beasts and said to the Apostles, "They bear the Power of Faith of Lord Yao God. He sent them to help the Divine Kingdom."

The three Apostles looked at each other in confusion.

The Calamity Beasts paid them no mind, simply relying on their innate abilities to slowly pace through the disaster zones, balancing the chaotic rules of the area.

The effect was even better than Luh Yao had anticipated. The flooding and droughts in the hardest-hit areas were greatly alleviated.

Through Yan Jiu, Luh Yao expressed his intention of gifting the two Calamity Beasts to the locals.

The Apostles of both Gods formally expressed their thanks.

Afterward, Yan Jiu settled the two Calamity Beasts in the border region between the two kingdoms, on the pillar of the Gravel World, which was also where Yan Jiu lived.

The two Calamity Beasts were quite docile. They stayed quietly on their respective mountains, making no trouble, and behaving with polite restraint, having picked up most of the Guest Monk's mannerisms.

With that settled, Luh Yao turned his attention back to Yan Jiu.

Initially, he had wanted to procure goods from the outer Divine Kingdoms, introducing some of their local inhabitants or unique species.

After experiencing the Divine War and halting it with the Gravel Cannon, his thinking had changed.

'Since these two Divine Kingdoms will be inseparable from the Vortex World for a considerable time, I should make good use of this opportunity to boldly try something new.'

Yan Jiu, by a fluke, had served as a successful and reliable pioneer, laying the foundation for those who would follow.

Luh Yao decided to send more Extraordinary Beings from the Yao Race here to train.

This had two benefits.

First, coming to the Divine Kingdoms of other Gods for "advanced studies" would allow the Yao Race's Martial Cultivators to grow quickly. Here, they could challenge Bamboo Beasts, Black Tombstones, and Ghouls, which didn't exist in the Yao Race World.

When Yan Jiu underwent Ascension, he was LV21. After several decades here, he had reached LV33. This rate of growth was difficult to achieve in the Yao Race World.

Luh Yao knew from when Isabel was fighting the Corrupters that simply having an Extraordinary Being face a single type of opponent would quickly lead to a bottleneck, preventing further improvement. For a warrior to rapidly increase their level, they needed to challenge a wide variety of powerful foes.

Second, the Yao Race officially setting foot in a new world represented a direct dialogue between civilizations. It also signified the formal entry of Luh Yao's will into this complex Pole Divine Kingdom.

This would create a lot of room for maneuvering later on.

For example, Luh Yao had an extremely bold, long-term vision: to build a small ecosystem of Gods centered around the Vortex World.

Gods who followed the rules would have a chance to get on board, and the Divine Kingdoms would be able to maintain restraint under the limitations of the Vortex World.

Luh Yao wouldn't enter the Divine Hall of the Gods, but he still needed a moat to protect himself. In the long run, it would be better to create his own Divine Hall of the Gods for the Vortex World and pull in some suitable Gods.

Of course, this wouldn't be easy, and it might not even succeed.

He would start by testing the waters with the Ghost God and the King of Bamboo Reed.

Yan Jiu was the crucial starting point for all of this. He had gained the initial approval of the two Gods and, having spent decades in the Ghost Realm, also had a foundation of trust with the local population.

Luh Yao named this vision the "Wandering Yan Jiu Project." The goal was to use Yan Jiu as the Yao Race's ambassador for further contact with realms like the Ghost Realm and the Bamboo Reed Kingdom. This would open up opportunities for deep cultural exchange, with the ultimate aim of turning certain Gods' Divine Countries into permanent worlds within a Ring Realm Group and creating a brand new ecosystem of Gods centered on the Vortex World.

...

The ideal was wonderful, but the reality was fraught with difficulties.

Luh Yao observed that both the Ghost Realm and the Bamboo Reed Kingdom were very conservative in style.

The two kingdoms had previously cooperated to better handle the great disaster, but once the problem was initially resolved, they immediately withdrew to their own territories, maintaining an attitude of minding their own business.

They weren't hostile toward each other, but there was no further communication or cooperation either.

Both Gods were still healing in their respective domains.

Luh Yao decided to take things slow.

The two Divine Kingdoms had just ended a brutal war. Forcing them to turn around and shake hands with smiles would be asking too much.

Fortunately, the successive bombardments this time had miraculously fused the three worlds into one, which saved Luh Yao a good deal of Fire of Faith.

He could now directly check the information of all three worlds from the backend.

...

[Ghost Realm]

[Divine Format]: Present.

[Divinity]: Lowly as an Ant (15,025).

[Divine Body]: Gods Tier (60,094).

...

[Bamboo Reed Kingdom]

[Divine Format]: Present.

[Divinity]: Lowly as an Ant (28,324).

[Divine Body]: Gods Tier (99,103).

...

[Gravel World Unnamed]

...

Putting the external Divine Kingdoms aside for now, Luh Yao prepared to further cultivate the Yao Race World.

If he wanted to create an ecosystem of Gods in a Ring World in the future, then the Yao Race Civilization, as its core, had to remain sufficiently strong and cohesive to continuously influence and radiate out to other Divine Kingdoms.

He hadn't had a chance to pay close attention since the change of the Era.

A new notification appeared in the simulator.

[Sinners' Sea Breaker has cultivated Clay Corpse Demons.]

[Hai Zhe has become a Legend.]

Luh Yao was stunned.

'I tossed Hai Zhe, still in his Ghost State and the prison Ghost Armor, into the Abyss. It was supposed to be a form of house arrest. How could Hai Zhe still stir up trouble like this?'

Luh Yao clicked on the entry.

The screen jumped to the Abyss.

The gloomy first layer had undergone a massive transformation.

Numerous pits had been dug here, guarded by small figures from the Clay Race. A type of brownish-yellow pixelated humanoid monster periodically climbed out of the pits—these were the Clay Corpse Demons.

...

[Clay Corpse Demon LV44]

Life Value: 1500/1500

Mana Value: 488/488

Damage: 40

Defense: 38

Speed: 13

[Decaying Food]

[Poisoned LV10]

[Earth Element]

[Self-Destruction]

[Clay Corpse Demon]

A Race formed from the fusion of the Clay Race and Ghouls. After Self-Destruction, they can be reborn by collecting the fragments of their corpse. The effect of the Rebirth depends on the completeness of the fragments.

...

Hai Zhe was commanding the Corpse Demons.

He was now clad in Ghost Armor, addressing the numerous Corpse Demons.

"Today, we will officially enter the second layer, shifting from a defensive posture to an offensive one."

"According to the Clay Race, there are few monsters left on the second layer, but we must prepare for the worst."

"The second layer might have Demigods, it might have Curse Insects! Once we encounter them, there will be no retreat. We must annihilate them. Otherwise, our rear on the first layer will suffer endless attacks."

"The best defense is a good offense."

"Therefore, we must take the initiative and advance. We cannot wait for the monsters below to attack us."

"Before they begin their Hunting, we will initiate a Hunt against them."

"Fear is the best weapon! We will make the entire Abyss tremble in fear at the sound of our name!"

Hai Zhe raised his Copper Armor-clad arm and said, "Brave and fearless warriors, remember this well: we are going to seize the Abyss Second Layer!"

"When we enter the next layer, everything we see is prey, and dead prey is the only kind of prey we want. Do not let your guard down or rely on luck for a second. Let them witness the terrifying power of the Corpse Demons!"

"For the great Yao God! Sinful Corps, advance!"

The Corpse Demons waved their fists, each one roaring with excitement.

"For the great Yao God! Advance! Advance!"

Luh Yao was a little dumbfounded.

'What's going on now?'

'They're going to counter-attack the Abyss Second Layer? The Star Sea God is there... A starved camel is still bigger than a horse.'

This was truly insane.

But he also felt that Hai Zhe wasn't the type of arrogant fool who would needlessly throw his life away.

Luh Yao decided to just watch for now.
