God Simulator

The arrival of turbulent tides plunged the Twin Snakes Merchant Republic into an unprecedented long ice age.

The first tidal shock dimmed the sun and moon, the temperature of the entire world plummeted, and the winds howled.

The second tidal impact caused the land mass to move and be violently squeezed. New mountain ranges like spines arched and lifted up on the earth. Parts of the existing mountains became fragmented, rivers were rerouted, and cities were torn apart and swallowed underground...

The entire country is like a layer of heated syrup, bubbling and collapsing.

The terrain is easier and disasters can be avoided by migrating, but long-term snowfall and low temperatures are fatal and bad news that no life can escape.

The Seven Sirens racked their brains and tried to remedy this problem everywhere.

The main god enshrined by the Twin Snakes Merchant Republic is the [Messenger of the Gods], but the actual jurisdiction and ruling god is now the Seven Sirens.

The Seven Sirens have no feelings, including sympathy, for this civilization, which is mainly composed of goblins and merchants.

The key is not to destroy it in your own hands.

"Even a piece of wood or a stone has its purpose. The world can be destroyed, but I want to see the value brought by destruction. Nothing else is important, only the benefits are important."

"Do it well and you will do better than dying for the gods."

The Righteous God [Messenger of the Gods] is as always, and the oracle is gentle.

The Seven Sirens are under great pressure.

[Messenger of the Gods] is the title god who focuses on commerce and trade. He is usually very kind, not because he is a kind and tolerant god, but because he never reveals his true intentions. No one can judge whether He is satisfied or dissatisfied, angry or indifferent, humble or hypocritical.

But the Messenger is a very simple god.

As long as it's in His interests, don't worry about anything else.

In his announcements and exhortations to the gods, this righteous God emphasized this more than once.

"I am a god who pursues profit maximization. As long as everyone continues to create profits, then all problems can be solved and reconciled. If profits cannot be created, it is a failure."

"It doesn't matter if there is no profit for a while. I am patient and I can wait, but I have to see the long-term value."

“Short-term gain or long-term value, any one of them will do.”

in short.

If everyone cannot do this, he will be kicked out of the civilization chain.

The most indispensable thing in the virtual universe is the gods.

There are gods everywhere who want to take refuge in the title god.

The Seven Sirens have followed the [Messenger of the Gods] for a long time. He knew very well that the reason why this righteous god could tolerate his defection and return in the past was because of his ability to "turn to the wind". The Seven Sirens could deduce the strength gap between gods through observation.

So when faced with a stronger god attacking the messenger, the Seven Sirens naturally chose to side with the stronger one.

Strange to say.

Although [Messenger of the Gods] has been stumbling and has been threatened, blackmailed and even attacked by other gods with titles, he is still alive and well until now. It must be said that the Messenger of the Gods is a god who knows how to survive.

The meaning of the Seven Sirens to the messenger is an observer. It allows the messenger to accurately judge the strength of the enemy and ourselves and choose an appropriate response strategy. Afterwards, the Seven Sirens are willing to return, and the messenger will forgive and accept them.

Value is the connecting link between them.

However, the core value of Seven Sirens is no longer there.

Because [Messenger of the Gods] is now backed by the giant [Yao God].

No matter who the enemy or threat is, as long as Yao is still on this side, it won't be a problem.

The messenger only needs to maintain good ties with Yao and ask him to take action when encountering a crisis. This has become the most important core security strategy for the messenger.

So the Seven Sirens are very anxious.

He always feels that he may reach the killing line at any time... Zhengshen is secretly observing him, and as long as he cannot provide new value, he will be killed. This provides the final value - serving as an example of a traitor to other men of God.

After taking over the jurisdiction of the Twin Snake Kingdom from the God of Martyrdom, the Seven Sirens took a series of measures.

He strictly prohibited the apostles from participating in any form of worldly affairs. Only with his permission can the apostle appear in the Twin Snakes Merchant Republic. This is to reduce the disruption of normal order and curb the further expansion of local forces.

He established a local trade responsibility system, which required merchants to leave part of their property in the Twin Snakes Kingdom to prevent merchants from migrating abroad and transferring their property after making enough money.

He expanded the scope of tax incentives so that any trade in specific cities in the Twin Snake Kingdom can enjoy corresponding dividends.

…

Various control strategies have played a certain role. The foreign population in the Twin Snakes Kingdom has been steadily increasing, and cities with specific tax benefits are connected to each other, giving the entire country a new commercial and trade network, stimulating surrounding towns and making the economy active.

However, all this was shattered by the turbulent tide.

The secular order that we have worked so hard to establish is riddled with holes in the face of natural disasters. The prices of food, winter clothes, heating fuel, etc. have skyrocketed and are difficult to contain.

During the disaster period, the profit-seeking nature of businessmen further went crazy, civilians without resources struggled to survive, and conflicts between various local groups continued... The entire country once again returned to the quagmire of chaos, and became more torn and divided than at any time in the past. Lack of cohesion.

Although the apostles are trying their best to rescue and maintain stability, the number of new deaths is increasing day by day. A large number of merchants fled to the Resurrection Kingdom for refuge early. No one in the upper class thought of staying and persisting. Most of the people left behind were poor civilians, and they were also becoming numb and desperate. Theft, robbery and fights became more and more frequent.

This country is going to exist in name only.

All the efforts of gods and civilizations are not worth mentioning in the face of the natural disasters sweeping across the Leap Zone.

Thinking of this, the Seven Sea Demons felt upset.

He returned his attention to the palace.

Everyone was waiting quietly in their respective statues.

As with past meetings in the shrine, the six gods had no communication with each other.

After another long and dull wait, the belated oracle finally sounded from the dome of the shrine.

"Mr. Butterfly, you come first."

The person named by the messenger was the ruler of the logging country.

The statue of Mr. Butterfly is similar to the butterfly god, except that the broad wings behind it are drooped and folded like a cloak.

Butterfly Lord's light voice came from the statue: "Lord Zhengshen, the short-term reserves of firewood in the logging country are enough, but a large number of forest areas have to be cut down on a large scale due to the shortage of fuel and materials to supply several other worlds. According to the current consumption , it is expected to last another twenty years, but considering that the turbulent tide will continue to have impacts and aftermath, this time may have to be lowered.”

"I have ordered the elves to speed up the ripening of the trees, but the sun only appears for one-tenth of the time every day, so the growth of the trees is far less than before. In addition, the climate is getting colder, and some forest trees that need a warm climate have found it difficult to grow, and the yield has been reduced. It is inevitable that the forest areas in logging countries will gradually reduce production until it is reduced to about half.”

"Um."

[Messenger of the Gods] said again: "Master Shanzhu, how about the mineral reserves?"

"Back to Lord Zhengshen, there have been partial movements and changes in the deep mineral deposits in the mining country, and new exploration and reconstruction of the mining area are required."

"The situation in surface and shallow mines is much more severe. Sandstorms, earthquakes and mountain collapses have resulted in the death and disappearance of more than 3,000 miners, and meteorites and dust storms are still falling from the sky from time to time... Under normal circumstances, the existing fuel and material ores can It will be supplied to the world for about 120 years. Considering that the population of various countries continues to decrease, this time may be extended.”

"However, because the winter period will continue, and due to subsequent tidal impacts, the mining industry will become colder and mining will become more difficult. I conservatively estimate that the ore reserves will actually supply five worlds and should only last for 70 years. about."

Shan Zhushi is the god who governs the mining country. His upper body is like a human and his lower body is like a sheep.

He added: "If the situation in each country is extremely serious, I suggest moving to the mining country for centralized management. There are some special fuels and rock formations that cannot be mined locally, but they can be ignited on site for heating."

The Seven Sirens' heart sank upon hearing this.

Logging countries have reduced wood production, and mining countries have tightened ore production.

The Twin Snakes Country is a country that is extremely dependent on external imports. If these two important imported resources cannot be obtained, a large number of civilians will freeze to death in this unknown winter.

Of course the gods can work miracles to raise the temperature.

But the prerequisite for performing miracles is to be able to solve the problem. There is no way to solve the turbulent tide caused by the outside at present, it just continues to consume the fire of faith.

If a civilization cannot provide faith and population for the gods, but instead consumes the gods, it will only end up being abandoned and restarted.

The next person named was King Makumu.

His statue is shaped like an oval black shadow, like a thin sheet perpendicular to the ground. This is also because his body is [Shadow Lord], which belongs to the undead and shadow life, and is also a natural god.

"The warrior state has cut expenditures and carried out large-scale disarmament, retaining only 10% of its permanent troops."

"In order to prevent these soldiers from turning into thieves and rebels, I have tried to contact the outside world and encourage the soldiers to join the army in the Resurrection Kingdom."

"In other respects, the Warrior Nation can still endure."

King Makumu didn't talk much.

[Messenger of the Gods] hummed.

Then it was the turn of the martyrdom report.

"The key registered talents in the popular industry have all gone underground."

He said: "The tidal impact caused the sun and moon to disappear for a long time, dark monsters appeared in large numbers, and demon altars became more frequent."

The Seven Sirens felt relieved.

It seems that the situation in the popular world is much worse than that in the Twin Snakes Kingdom.

Demons are like rats and cockroaches that cannot be killed. Once their traces are discovered, they will already be everywhere. And as long as one is targeted by the devil, it will be difficult to completely eradicate devil worship. Because they always have various ways to confuse people's hearts and firmly grasp the strongest desires of all kinds of life.

In the messenger civilization, the Twin Snake Kingdom and the Fengxing World have the highest status.

The former represents the absolute core of secular civilization, while the latter is the place where messengers gather all kinds of capable people.

Before being martyred, he was imprisoned in the Resurrection Kingdom. It may sound shocking for a god to be imprisoned, but in the eyes of gods, this is nothing at all.

Everyone knows that Sacrifice for the Gods was trying a high-risk, high-yield approach—secretly using the achievements of the Yao civilization to make localized improvements, but it just failed.

He was extremely lucky not to be executed by the terrifying Yao god.

Because of this prison sentence, the seven sea monsters who guarded the wind world became the successor of the god of death and went to the Twin Snake Kingdom. After the god of death was released from prison, he came to the world of wind.

When the two parties are swapped, they are afraid of comparing many things.

Seeing that the god of death was not doing well, the Seven Sea Demons were relieved.

He even laughed inwardly.

"Seven Sirens."

After being named, the Seven Sirens immediately talked about the situation on his side.

"...It is impossible to know how long the turbulent tide will last, and the general environment will only get worse. If we follow conventional methods and abandon or directly destroy one or two of the civilizations to reduce resource consumption, the status quo will not be changed. "

He paused and said, "I think we should seek to unite with the Yao civilization."

"The Resurrection Kingdom, one of the branches of the Yao civilization, has abundant reserves of various resources, and the demand for food by the White Bone Ancestors is almost negligible. Their local new type of food is called [Bingya Potatoes], and this species relies on extreme In a cold environment, the colder it is, the better it grows. If we can introduce it, we can greatly alleviate the food pressure. "

"Furthermore, there is the [Flying Kite Cabin] in the Resurrection Kingdom. This prop is the best choice to avoid disasters on the ground, and we also need it very much."

"Then there is the Mysterious Kingdom hosted by the Resurrection Kingdom, which is now becoming a seafood country. The local god [the ominous water fairy] sent by Yao God used water monsters and water fairies to build settlements underwater. , breeding a large number of deep-sea fish.”

"The most important thing is that the [Demon Association] over there has done a great job in cleaning up illegal demons. I heard that a perfect demon has appeared over there, and has been convinced by the Yao God. If you can ask the [Demon Association] to help, The current situation of devil worship in the popular world should be alleviated.”

The Seven Sirens glanced at the statue of the sacrificed god.

“But that’s not enough to solve the underlying problem.”

The Seven Sea Monsters no longer concealed themselves: "I suggest that we take this opportunity to formally request to be incorporated into the Yao civilization and become an affiliated civilization chain of the Yao God. This is our best choice at the moment and the way to maximize our interests."

The gods were silent.

The Seven Sirens continued: "As far as I know, Yao God does not trust foreign gods very much. But there is no precedent for outsiders to join, such as the affiliated civilization [Ghost Realm] and [Bamboo Reed] in the remote area on the other side. country], also became part of the outer circle of Yao civilization."

"The key is to show enough value and sincerity and be willing to start from the outside step by step."

When it comes to controlling the timing of the situation and taking refuge, the Seven Sirens do not think they will lose to any god.

"That is impossible."

The Martyr God raised doubts: "I have stayed in the Resurrection Kingdom for many years, and I can definitely tell you that God Yao is very cautious about naming gods of the size of Zhengshen. The Yao people are externally radical and open. , but the internal order and culture, especially in terms of beliefs, are very conservative and cautious.”

"I can't find any reason why the God Yao would be willing to truly accept our entire civilization chain."

The Seven Sirens smiled slightly: "You are right, but this is Yao God."

"The important thing is to show the fact that you are weak to the main god, so that he can see that we do need help and are willing to follow his will. Since you know the Ghost Realm and the Bamboo Reed Kingdom, you should know why that Why don’t the gods of the two divine kingdoms get the divine status of water fairies?”

"The fundamental reason is that the Yao God does not need so many highly similar affiliated civilizations. The aquatic race run by the Water Fairy can establish a complete marine civilization, which is lacking in the Yao people. The ghost world is undead, and the Zhulu Kingdom is not. It is a kind of vegetation monster, and the Yao people have no shortage of ground strength.”

“Our advantage lies in the business capabilities of Lord Zhengshen and the transaction channels of all parties. The messenger civilization can be used as a propeller for the Yao civilization, accelerating them through pure commerce and economy... This is our unique value. "

Merging into a powerful main god camp is in line with the core interests of the messengers of the gods and is what all gods desire.

Sacrifice to God without saying a word.

"Of course, I also think that this is not easy. But even if we cannot get consent, at least our attitude has been made clear. Yaoshen values ​​attitude, integrity and frankness. What we have to do is to sell frankness and attitude, what? They all told him to become what God Yao needed and liked.”

The Seven Sirens finally concluded: "Even if we fail, it will be much easier if we ask God Yao for help at this time."

"well said."

The messenger of the gods finally spoke.

"Seven Sirens, come with me to the Resurrection Kingdom."

"Yes, sir."

The Seven Sirens glanced at the numb statue of the God of Martyr, and couldn't help but feel proud.

I have devoted myself to studying Yao for so many years and formed a special apostolic team to collect and study "Yao's theology".

You're a love brain who got together with an apostle, and you want to fight me? It made me laugh so hard.
