God Simulator

Chapter 216: Whoever lets us eat is a friend, whoever doesn’t is an enemy

Wuzi Wang stood still, his mountainous body trembling as the bull-headed bone palace atop him collapsed with a thunderous crash.

It left him headless, blending indistinguishably with the surrounding mountains.

Using the "True Sight Curse," Lu Yao saw that Wuzi Wang had completed his demotion.

...

[Godhood]: Present.

[Divinity]: Lowly as an ant (2004).

[Divine Body]: Novice Deity (21195).

...

Wuzi Wang showed his determination and sincerity through his actions, a feeble expression emerging above his head.

With Lu Yao’s consent, Wuzi Wang’s head sprouted a dialogue box: "People of the Wuzi, I am Wuzi Wang."

Each Wuzi lifted their heads, listening to the Divine Oracle.

"Firstly, I officially declare that the glorious war to defend our kingdom has ended in our victory."

"The invading deity, God Bo, has fallen, and the Fifth Fearless Empire under His control has crumbled by His own hands, putting an end to the savage and brutal invasion."

"The war is over."

The black Wuzi, though mute, waved their arms, showing an excitement unlike their usual demeanor.

Wuzi Wang continued, "This is all thanks to your bravery and resilience, as well as the support of our strong and reliable friends."

"I have decided to merge our kingdom into a vast, peaceful, and prosperous new world."

"From now on, you will no longer be alone, no need to fight in isolation."

"And I, will become a subordinate deity of the great God Yao, marking the end of old days and the beginning of a new era."

...

The Wuzi each had different expressions above their heads, some a tangled mess, some weeping in sorrow, some full of questions, some with light bulbs lit, but most were symbols of joy.

In this cruel war between gods and civilizations, they witnessed the strength and tenacity of warriors from another world.

These distant heroes built an unbreakable defense, holding the arrogant imperial army at bay outside Wuda City. Many blue-skinned warriors fell in battle, and it was they who sounded the counterattack, changing the course of the entire war.

Friend or foe, it was clear on the battlefield.

Lu Yao reopened the passage between the two worlds, allowing Isabella to escort Wuzi Wang all the way to Yao City, entering the temple.

That day, a new statue appeared in the temple.

It resembled a small mound with a vague face on top. It stood behind the statue of God Yao, alongside the White God.

The old prophet’s spoon lit up with an exclamation mark: "Merciful God Yao has gained another deity’s following! The power of the deity is further manifested!"

At the same time, a notification appeared in the Simulator.

[Yao Clan has discovered: Wuzi Element.]

[Yao City’s fervent worship of you has surged due to the new subordinate deity, greatly boosting faith.]

[Salt City’s fervent...]

Both cities were ecstatic, bringing Lu Yao a faith increase of 70,000, wiping out all the consumption from this divine war, with a surplus of 20,000.

This unexpected gain made Lu Yao realize he had underestimated the benefits of divine warfare.

Had God Bo won the divine war or even gained a subordinate deity, with the empire’s base population of 300,000, the fervent worship would have brought hundreds of thousands of faith flames, indeed a super booster, enough to cover many previous disadvantages.

Sanilo and the Tree Crown City were more composed, one being a Transcendent city and the other far from the economic and cultural center, not easily excited.

Looking down, Lu Yao saw Wuzi Wang could sense the gaze of the true deity, just like the White God.

He prostrated on the ground, like a collapsing mountain: "True deity, thank you for your aid and shelter. I may be dull, but I will faithfully and meticulously carry out your commands."

Wuzi Wang possessed two miraculous abilities.

[Roar of the Earth]: Consumes 20 faith points to gather earth elements and release an explosion, causing indiscriminate damage around.

[Refine Wuzi]: Consumes 40 faith points to dissolve a large amount of material and extract the Wuzi element.

Both miracles were related to the land, more suitable for geological exploration and smelting extraction.

For combat, they were somewhat lacking.

Lu Yao instructed Wuzi Wang to continue leading the kingdom, allowing the Wuzi people to gradually resume production and life.

Next, Lu Yao opened the Golden Fields, starting backend operations.

This time he gained two divine realms, both merged into the Yao Clan world. Clockwork monkeys frantically repaired in the trees, synchronizing the rules of the foreign world regions with this world.

Lu Yao’s task was macro-level adjustments.

He opened [Rule Repair], found the entries for God Bo’s realm and Wuzi Kingdom.

After several clicks, he could adjust their positions.

Lu Yao used Wuzi Kingdom as a connecting belt between God Bo’s realm and the Yao Clan world.

It looked like a rectangle followed by a triangular component, then connected to a U-shaped magnet pointing outward, like some strange mechanical arm.

Next, it was up to the gradual evolution of world rules.

As the three worlds fully merged, the expanded fragment world finally began to stir.

In the pitch-black dimension of space, it drifted at a snail’s pace, its destination unknown.

From the outside, the irregular Yao Clan world was ragged, with large holes in the middle, like a discarded rag floating on water, but it had a safe appearance.

Next, it could drift relatively easily for a while, taking in the scenery.

Lu Yao stretched his arms.

The world-level operations were essentially complete. Although the Fearless Ones were unlikely to come after a fallen pantheon, nor would they notice an ordinary fragment world, who knows?

Better to flee after the fight, safety first.

At this moment, a notification appeared on the game interface.

—A believer has developed wisdom. Would you like to transform it into a prophet?

[Yes] [No]

Lu Yao clicked the prompt, and the screen shifted to the outskirts of Crystal City.

A giant bully locust shimmered with a faint glow.

The last non-human converter was the hero cross-country rabbit.

Lu Yao decided to observe first.

This giant bully locust was high-level, not only possessing a name but also capable of upright walking and thinking.

...

[Bully Locust LV22] Locust Sense

Health: 237/237

Mana: 93/93

Damage: 14

Defense: 10

Speed: 15

...

Aside from the common locust traits of [Stamina] and [Swarming], it also had [Wisdom LV6].

The area outside the city was covered with a dense swarm of locusts.

They lay quietly on the ground, perched on trees, squatting on rocks.

Locust Sense stood among them, a dialogue box appearing above its head.

"Brothers, is the food tasty? Tasty. Really tasty."

"I like it too, our kind loves to eat, whoever lets us eat is a friend, whoever doesn’t is an enemy, that’s what we’re born knowing."

"But now, we face a difficulty."

"Because there’s nothing left to eat around here, everything that could be eaten, that grew from the land, including grass and trees, we’ve devoured completely. So what do we do now?"

Lu Yao noticed that the area around Crystal City had been gnawed nearly into a desert.

The locust swarm was devastating to the ecology.

However, with the Golden Fields at hand, this wasn’t a problem.

Lu Yao only needed to make a slight modification in the backend, and this group would be instantly erased, cleared by the rules. It was just a matter of spending some faith flames.

For now, he decided to watch.

Locust Sense continued, "What can we do in the end? Starve. Starve to a certain point, and we’ll have to eat anything, what can we eat?"

"We can only resort to cannibalism, hunting each other."

"If eating doesn’t make us smarter, we’ll be bugs for life."

"The great creator made us, not to mindlessly destroy ourselves."

"We must prove our potential to the creator, find our place in survival."

"Brothers, we need to change our way of living."

Locust Sense waved its limbs: "We must take control of our food! It’s the lifeline of our tribe, not waiting for it to grow elsewhere, for others to have, then we go and snatch."

"We must learn to grow our own food!"

Lu Yao was astonished.

Farming locusts, a completely new version never seen before.

Let’s see if you can succeed.
