I Have a God Simulator

"Let me state again: Blood-Draining Magic currently has fatal flaws."

"The reason I’ve made this magic public is to correct and solve these problems. I can no longer do it with my mind alone."

Longg Ji said to the scholars, "Dragon Language is the foundation from which magic is born. Dragon Blood is the soil of magic that we cannot bypass. Then there are the subsequent effects, direction, and precision of casting, all of which are extremely complex and difficult challenges."

"Attempting to restore Dragon Language Magic with just one person, or even a few, is ignorant, wild, and arrogant."

"We must be clear that this will be a long and massive undertaking. The exploration, experimentation, and understanding of magic will be passed down through generations of the Yao Clan People."

"Our era is merely the starting point."

"I have contacted Prophet Shi Bao of Yan City, Mayor Chapman of Saniluo, Lord Apostle Philles of the Dwarf Fortress and the Fireplace Race, Lord Apostle Zelkuku of Uda City, and Prophet Yaopu of Crystal City... We will pool all the current technology, knowledge, and Wisdom of the Yao Race to forge the key that will unlock the gate to magic."

The Dragon Descendant Prophet stated, "When it comes to magic, we are but apprentices standing at the gate. Let us begin with Imitation, using the Dragon Language and magical experience left behind by the Dragon Race as the starting point for our attempts."

The scholars were ecstatic and quickly began their preparations.

Luh Yao, who was looking down upon all of this, felt a little emotional.

The sensitive, withdrawn boy of the past, who had been self-conscious about his appearance, was gone. Standing here was a scholar and Prophet who had faced a wall for decades, specializing in the Dragon Language.

Knowledge had made him confident and steady. Delving deep into a single field had benefited him immensely. Longg Ji poured all his passion into analyzing the Dragon Language and its related applications.

Soon, led by Apostle Philles, scholars, engineers, artisans, physicians, pharmacists, and Extraordinary Beings from all corners of the world gathered in a side hall of the Divine Hall in Yao City.

This was an unprecedented assault for the Yao Race, a battle that brought together the most intelligent and creative minds in the world today.

Hundreds of top experts from various industries were divided into several small teams.

The Dragon Language Team was responsible for further analyzing and cross-referencing the Dragon Language to clarify and refine the foundations of magic.

The Magic Potion Team used the [Mixed Blood Potion] as their core material, exploring and attempting to reduce blood loss to ensure the caster’s safety as much as possible.

The Construction Team built a testing ground for magic experiments outside the city, surrounding it with white stone walls. Inside, there were residential houses, warehouses for supplies, and they even dug a small lake.

This place was called [White Castle], and unauthorized personnel were strictly forbidden from approaching. It was guarded by Armored Warriors.

The Forging Team was busy with casting and forging, attempting to find artifacts or devices that could assist casters and reduce the various dangers of casting.

...

The development of Blood-Draining Magic proceeded with fiery intensity.

The initial blood problem that Longg Ji faced was quickly solved.

The Magic Potion Team used the [Mixed Blood Potion], animal fats, and the All-Purpose Stone, processing and brewing them in a specific series of steps to create a viscous Artificial Dragon Blood. This light-red plasma could perfectly replace human blood for the consumption required in casting, with very little loss.

The key component was the All-Purpose Stone, which greatly increased the blood’s strength.

However, casting with an external blood source was extremely difficult.

The caster needed to cut their finger or body, using their blood as a conduit to merge with the Magic Potion Plasma, in order to draw upon the external supply.

While this process significantly reduced the loss of the caster’s own blood, it required more Dragon Language support to draw upon blood outside of one’s own body.

Furthermore, there were risks of infection. Casters needed to take medicine like the [Life-Saving Pill] to prevent wounds from festering and the blood from becoming poisoned.

The casting process thus became even more complex.

Solving one problem had only created another.

Then, a new problem emerged during the magic experiments.

The magic could not be calibrated.

Standard Dragon Language Magic uses a Dragon’s blood as fuel and its unique bones as a guide and stabilizer. Generally, any of a Dragon’s bones can be used as a rudder for casting.

Human bones are weaker, a natural disadvantage in this regard. It was difficult to balance the magic during casting, requiring close-range physical contact. Casting from a distance would result in the magic forking or sputtering out.

The problems of the magic collapsing, becoming chaotic, and losing direction were especially severe when casting with an external blood source.

A cloud of gloom from the repeated failures hung over White Castle. Many researchers were deeply discouraged, with expressions of frustration and dejection appearing on their faces.

Luh Yao, watching from the sidelines, was also scratching his head.

’To pioneer an entirely new system of technology, even with a model to imitate, is an arduous process every step of the way.’

’Perhaps it’s still a bit too soon for the Yao Race to be dabbling in magic.’

’The Fire Steam Furnace was only recently invented.’

’Extraordinary Technology also needs a corresponding foundation to support it.’

Luh Yao could see it clearly. This magic simulation project was the very pinnacle of a pyramid built upon the many achievements of wisdom and technology of the Yao Race Civilization.

The series of prerequisite experiments and engineering projects included knowledge and experience from a wide array of fields: magic potions and medicine, engineering, refining and forging, language and logic, Dragon Language vocabulary and casting, the biology of Extraordinary Creatures... and so on.

If this thick foundation wasn’t solid enough, it would be difficult to construct the superstructure of magic.

The people at White Castle were stalled by the bone problem.

If they used the human body to imitate the Dragon Race, they could indeed reduce the interference, but they would have to use contact-based casting, which would put immense pressure on and cause great harm to the human skeleton and blood.

That would be like returning to their old path, having to cast magic in a way that nearly consumed one’s life force.

But if they continued with external casting, they lacked the Dragon Bone to act as a stabilizer, and it would also create more problems with infection and poisoning.

Faced with this major dilemma, Philles, Longg Ji, the Dwarf Chui Wujing, and others discussed it and decided to issue a bounty for help to the entire Yao Race World.

Anyone, regardless of their identity or race, who could solve this problem would receive a handsome reward. This included, but was not limited to: a residence in any of the cities of Yao City, Yan City, Saniluo, Crystal City, or Uda City; a position as a Life-Long Scholar at White Castle; and a full set of Fine Equipment along with a large sum of money.

Enticed by the heavy reward, brave individuals came one after another, offering numerous ideas and suggestions.

Of course, most of them were not even worth trying.

Until one day, a handsome young man arrived outside White Castle.

He posed a question: "Why does a person have to be the one to cast the magic?"

Faced with this question, the scholar who received him was exasperated. "Young man, magic is a tool. Magic that isn’t used by people is meaningless to people."

"Isn’t the magic being researched derived from the Dragon Race?"

"That’s right. Do you have a suggestion?"

"A Dragon."

"...If you have no other business, please step aside. Next."

The young man said, "Just use a Dragon."

The scholar’s patience was wearing thin. He waved his hand impatiently. "I don’t have the energy to waste time on you. Next! Next!"

"I’m serious."

The young man insisted, "It’s originally a Dragon’s magic. Can’t you just use a Dragon to cast it?"

The scholar was fuming.

Maintaining the last vestiges of a scholar’s decorum with a smile that made the veins on his forehead pop, he said, "Are you saying we should go get a Dragon, and then use the Dragon to cast magic? Is that right?"

"That’s right."

"Well, if we have a Dragon, it would already know Dragon Language Magic. What’s the point of researching magic then?"

The young man suddenly realized something. He said, "No, no, you misunderstood. I mean, you could build a Dragon."

The scholar was so shocked he was speechless for a moment.

’What a young man, to dare say something like that.’

"If you could imitate the appearance of the Northern Dragon King, build a Dragon, forge a complete Dragon Bone skeleton, inject specially made blood into its body, and then control it to cast magic, wouldn’t that solve the problem?"

"Why does it have to be a human body? I don’t really get it."

The smile on the scholar’s face slowly froze.

He looked at the young man. "What’s your name?"

"My name is Shang Xun. I’m an archaeologist by profession."

The young man grinned, showing his teeth.

The other man immediately thought, "Are you Mr. Uluu’s disciple?"

"No."

Shang Xun waved his hand. "I’m just an ordinary archaeologist, but Mr. Uluu is indeed the goal I’m chasing."
