I Have a God Simulator

On this day, a special guest arrived in Crystal City.

Prophet Yaopu personally received him.

The female Prophet, clad in Ghost Armor, said enthusiastically, "Welcome to Crystal City. You appear to be a Ghoul, Your Excellency? Speaking of which, we’re quite similar. I’m a Ghost."

A lightbulb lit up over Hubbard’s head. "You have Ghouls here, too?"

"Not in the city."

Yaopu said, "There are some in the Black Abyss, but that’s a place where Gods are imprisoned. Have you read the Epic, *Abyssal Sinner*?"

"I’ve heard of it."

"That’s the Abyss we’re talking about."

The Ghost Prophet continued, "But even in the Abyss, there are very few Ghouls left. They’ve all been transformed by Sinners’ Sea Breaker into Clay Corpse Demons to hunt the Gods... The entire Ghoul race is slowly disappearing. It’s truly a shame."

A large question mark slowly appeared over Hubbard’s forehead.

"Transforming Ghouls? Hunting Gods? What in the world are you people doing here...?"

Luh Yao watched this envoy from the Ghost Realm while eating an apple.

Both his background description and his actual performance were enough to prove that Hubbard wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. Unlike Blo, who was a master strategist, all of Hubbard’s skills were allocated to combat and training troops.

And those were the two fields he focused on most.

Hubbard pointed to an area in the city surrounded by high walls. "What is that place? I can sense the aura of battle."

"That is Crystal City’s wonder, the [Underground Drill Ground]. The Underground Trials there can increase the combat experience of Extraordinary Beings. Many Martial Cultivators go there for advanced training."

Hubbard requested to go inside for a look.

After coming out of the wonder, Hubbard remarked with awe, "...If every warrior could receive basic training here, raising a powerful army would be just a matter of time."

"A truly outstanding military facility."

He then asked, "How does one build a wonder like this?"

Yaopu replied, "It’s a legacy left by the Old Empire. Crystal City’s City Guard Army doesn’t really need training, so it’s used more by individual Extraordinary Beings."

The number of question marks above Hubbard’s head increased to two. "Your army doesn’t use this drill ground? They don’t train?"

"They don’t."

Yaopu pointed diagonally ahead. "The City Guard Army uses that."

On a nearby road, a large, wedge-shaped Flower Boat slowly cruised past.

"A flower-planting boat?"

The question marks above Hubbard’s head became three.

"The City Guard Army conducts routine patrols; it’s part of their daily work. Mr. Hubbard, you seem interested. Please, follow me aboard, and you will understand shortly." The Prophet led the visiting Apostle onto the Flower Boat.

This Flower Boat was equipped with three Gentle Green Roses and one Purple Rose that Luh Yao had never seen before. The Purple Rose was in the center, taller than the Green Roses, with thicker and fuller petals.

After leaving the city, the Flower Boat traveled to the edge of a rocky beach. Warning signs had been erected around the area, and it was enclosed by crenelated walls, clearly a specially designated functional zone.

In front of the rocky beach, huge copper rods and iron balls were set up. These metal objects were all fixed atop stone mounds.

The Flower Boat adjusted its position. With the help of an Armored Warrior, the Purple Rose in the center slowly lowered its head, aiming its pistil at a distant copper rod on which a suit of Twin Cities Armor was mounted.

A nearby Armored Warrior serving as the Command Officer waved a small, purple triangular flag. The Armored Warrior next to the Purple Rose touched its stem.

The Purple Rose trembled and then violently spat out a purple, spherical pistil.

The pistil transformed into a cloud of purple mist, slammed into the target at high speed, and exploded into countless petal fragments that scattered in the air.

At the same time, the Twin Cities Armor on the target shattered and fell to the ground in pieces.

Luh Yao was shocked.

’Even a normal suit of Twin Cities Armor has 400 durability.’

’Did this Purple Rose cannon deal more than 400 damage in one shot?’

He clicked to inspect it.

...

[Conqueror’s Purple Rose LV3]

Life Value: 2/3

Mana Value: 1/1

Damage: 199

Defense: 0

Speed: 5

[Flower Language Sixty-Two: Purple Declaration]

Flower Language Magic. The Purple Rose uses its pistil as a projectile weapon to bombard and blast enemies, dealing massive multi-hit damage.

[Range LV3]

...

Luh Yao instantly understood. It seemed the Twin Cities Armor on the target had already been damaged; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been used as a consumable.

Even so, being able to inflict 199 damage was terrifying.

Looking at its destructive power alone, the Purple Rose’s stats even surpassed those of a LV83 Blood Knight.

Luh Yao asked Pinkman.

The Old Rose King said, "My lord, the Purple Rose is a hybrid of the Assassin Black Rose and the Red Rose. It inherited the advantages of the Black Rose, becoming sturdier and having its destructive power enhanced."

"However, its weakness is also obvious. The Purple Rose needs someone to assist it, stimulating it with my specially made Rose Potion, before it can use Flower Language Sixty-Two to fire its pistil and deal damage."

"Compared to the Assassin Black Rose, its growth cycle is much longer, its attack interval is greater, and it levels up extremely slowly. Although its range is longer, its accuracy is worse, its operation is complex, and it requires coordination with other roses to unleash its full power."

Pinkman seemed a little embarrassed. "Before I knew it... I just kept digging deeper down this path with the Black Rose."

Luh Yao told him he did a good job and not to worry about it.

Sometimes that’s just how things are.

A flower planted with care may not bloom, while a willow casually planted grows into a shady grove.

Pinkman had only wanted to restore the glory of the roses, but he ended up becoming a master of Rose Weapons.

Luh Yao couldn’t help but think, ’Perhaps in the future, roses will become a special biological series, encompassing functions like military defense, construction, production, and even daily life.’

After witnessing the Purple Rose’s firepower, Hubbard stood dazed for a long time. He stood below the Flower Boat, gazing up at the tall and mighty Purple Rose, an expression of shining eyes appearing above his head.

"Roses, roses... such beautiful roses."

"Roses that conquer worlds."

"Roses of blood and fire, invincible roses."

"If we could also create such Rose Weapons, Lord Ghost God would surely be invincible! No one could withstand our rose offensive..."

Thoughts continuously bubbled up over his head.

...

Luh Yao shifted his gaze to Uda City.

Apostle Zhur Nan stood amidst a cluster of towering, cloud-piercing earth arches. Large Earth Traveling Boats loaded with ore drove past on the intersecting roads, making him look like an ant that had wandered into a beast’s lair.

Receiving Zhur Nan was Apostle Zelkuku.

The Earth Golem introduced the city to his visitor. "Uda City is a mining city. It can’t compare to other cities in terms of environment and comfort, but nearly all the ore for every city comes from Uda City. This is both our duty and our strength."

"Excuse me, but why don’t I see any refining furnaces?"

Zhur Nan looked around. "Previously, an envoy from our kingdom returned from Sand City and said that Refining requires blast furnaces and fire forging to produce metal embryos. But I don’t see anything like that here?"

"Uda City doesn’t need them."

Zelkuku said, "The Wuzi People can dissolve ore using the Crow Element in their bodies, extracting the high-purity metals. Furnace forging is a process required by other Races."

"I see. The Wuzi Race is truly a chosen people... We Bamboo People have similar talents as well."

While marveling, Zhur Nan didn’t forget to boost his own side’s morale.

"Among the Yao Race, the Wuzi People are just one link in the chain."

Zelkuku explained as they walked, "The Wuzi People focus on prospecting, excavation, and ore smelting. Other tasks, such as engineering, city planning, daily goods production, road maintenance, planting flowers... are all handled by other groups who specialize in them."

"It is only under the light of Lord Yao God that everyone divides the labor and cooperates, giving us the Uda City of today."

Zhur Nan observed his surroundings for a while before asking another question, "Why does Uda City have so much All-Purpose Stone? This top-tier material is extremely rare. Is this city built on top of vast mineral deposits?"

"Of course not."

The Earth Golem told him, "The All-Purpose Stone comes from other worlds. A portion of the Wuzi Race excavates minerals in other worlds."

A large exclamation mark popped up over Zhur Nan’s head.

The box above his head revealed his thoughts: ’Developing other worlds as mining sites... The Yao Race’s footsteps have already reached more than one world... and this is just the capability of a single city.’

As an Apostle of the Bamboo Reed Kingdom, Zhur Nan tried his best to maintain the dignity of his Divine Kingdom. But seeing the dazzling array of ores in Uda City, he couldn’t stop himself from asking questions.

But as a seeker of knowledge, his posture naturally became more humble.

His questions were endless, and a sweating expression continuously appeared over his head. The more he saw, the more he felt the immense pressure from this magnificent city.

...

Finally, Luh Yao switched the view to his own people.

At that moment, the Mayor of Sand City, Slime Mod, drove a long furnace carriage into the Divine Kingdom Adhesive and arrived at the foot of Pillar Mountain.

Waiting to receive him was Apostle Blo, standing perfectly straight.

"Forgive me for not coming out to greet you sooner. Welcome, distinguished guest."

"Mr. Blo, you’re too kind."

Slime Mod opened the carriage door, took out a wooden box, and handed it to him. "I left in a hurry and didn’t have time to prepare a proper gift. It’s just a small token of my esteem, please don’t mind its humbleness."

"This... you’re the one who is being too kind. I couldn’t possibly accept such a grand gift."

Blo politely declined.

A smiling face appeared over Slime Mod’s head. "Inside are Magic Potions researched in Yao City: [Life-Saving Pill] and [Sleeping Potion]."

"The Sleeping Potion can make even an Extraordinary Being fall asleep. It’s especially useful for those suffering from pain or mental frenzies."

"The Life-Saving Pill can neutralize poisons and suppress many negative effects, such as Bleeding, Weakness, Chaos, and so on. It’s a highly sought-after medicine among the Yao Race."

"Even if you don’t need it, other members of the Funeral Race or Ghouls might. It’s always useful to have some on hand."

Hearing this, Blo immediately changed his tune and accepted the gift. "Well... this is too generous."

"It’s just a small gift, not worth mentioning."

Slime Mod first went to visit Yan Jiu at Pillar Mountain. On behalf of Yao God, he expressed his regards and concern for him and Nong Lei, and brought them some of the Yao Race’s specialty products, including [Tribal War Chess], [Sour Raspberry Jam], and [High Furnace Honey Wine].

Yan Jiu was deeply moved as he held the gifts, an expression of tears streaming down his old face appearing above his head.

Next, accompanied by Blo, Slime Mod went to the Bamboo Reed Kingdom. The main purpose was to pay a visit to Yu Gu, bringing it Pinkman’s instructions, greetings, and some seeds he sent as a gift, which made the Little Fishman very excited.

Only after finishing these visits did Slime Mod officially begin his tour of the Divine Kingdom.

He said to Blo, "Mr. Blo, before coming here, I was thinking about strengthening the exchange and cooperation between Sand City and the two Divine Kingdoms."

"Sand City hopes to formally establish a process to allow the Ghost Realm and the Bamboo Reed Kingdom to participate in Sand City’s affairs. The two Divine Kingdoms can take part in the Martial Arts Tournament held every five years, and will have the right to compete and win."

"Of course, if they are willing, they can also challenge the Eighteen Calamity Beasts. The associated extra rewards remain unchanged to this day."

"If there are talented individuals recognized by the Divine Kingdoms, they can also be recommended to Sand City for long-term advanced study and exchange. All of Sand City’s industries welcome the addition of outside talent."

"Sand City will also send some of its own people to the two Divine Kingdoms to study local customs and History, so as to increase the cultural depth of the Yao Race itself..."

Slime Mod paused. "I have received permission from Lord Yao God. Sand City will open up further to the outside world, formally allowing talented individuals from friendly and cooperative Divine Kingdoms to settle here long-term. Sand City respects the customs and habits of every resident and will not require them to change their Divine Faith."

"What do you think, Mr. Blo?"
