God Simulator

Lu Yao focused on the text on the screen.

"There was no Breaker born in Norse mythology, and there are very few relevant records."

Hela said: "However, in the depths of the Jinlunga Gap, the conversation between Ymir, the source of Nordic mythology, and an outsider has been preserved. In ancient times, I once heard it there."

"The voice said, there is no sand here, there is no sea, the earth is nowhere to be found, the sky is not on top, you follow me to the place where wisdom and life originate.

"Ymir replied, I want you to tell the stories of sentient beings in the outside world, the ways of life and creation, big and small."

"The other party said that everything you created will be destroyed, and the oldest stories you remember will disappear. You are the god responsible for the creation of the world, and you are also a prisoner locked in the rules. Let me go, embrace freedom and Omniscience."

"Ymir's answer is - the sun does not know the location of her palace, and the stars do not know where they are stationed. The sun shines from the south to the stone palace, and the stars cover the sky. Guests from afar, I have nothing, I have everything too.”

"His interlocutor also said that the great power of the Creator has become the cornerstone and dust of life. This is the curse of truth. I see you bleeding, your glory and reputation being tarnished by those who come after you. I see your die……"

The two debated and discussed the identity of the gods.

Ymir is a steadfast creator, and the reason why he created the world is simple. He purely follows the voice of his heart. The visitor wanted to persuade Him to give up the invisible temptation and resist the instinct of God,

The interviewer describes himself as an outlier.

The conversation ends here.

Hela said: "In other words, the breaker is the god who gives up the shackles of his people and identity. Since he no longer possesses the godhead, no trace of them can be found in the laws of the relevant gods or the pantheon of gods."

Lu Yao understood.

God is the boss of civilization, and the exception is to cash out after receiving the faith funds and resign as the boss. In this way, as the most fundamental law of the virtual universe, it cannot be held accountable.

Hela continued: "The Breakers rarely appear in public, and there is very little relevant information. But rumors say that this is a path to becoming a [Transcendent]."

"In Nordic mythology, the person who knows the most relevant secrets is [King of Gods] Odin, who also killed Ymir. But after Ragnarok, Odin also fell."

Lu Yao typed.

——What does Sedilia have to do with the curse of the Old God in this world?

Hela pondered for a moment: "The power of my title is related to disease and aging, so I can see the changes in the rules behind the phenomenon. The locals in Volut are not ordinary humans. In this normal environment, they suffer from hunger diseases and various It has been extinct among infectious diseases for a long time and cannot continue to this day.”

When he said this, Lu Yao also came back to his senses.

really.

He recalled that at the beginning, the Yao people were in great distress in the storm, and many people died due to poor harvests, floods, and droughts.

The ant people live scattered in villages, with low productivity, and their technology and culture are relatively primitive and simple.

Can such villages really withstand the torment of incurable diseases and disease environments?

"I observed the people here through their diseases in reverse, but it was still difficult to see the exact cause. It wasn't until I compared the death symbols they formed when they were about to die that I finally knew the cause."

Hela raised her left hand, and a cloud of black smoke rose from her hand.

The black smoke formed a huge word "death".

The word "death" is woven with many black and red symbols and has a circular frame outside.

Lu Yao observed carefully and found that the symbolic structure contained smaller dead characters, and there seemed to be even smaller basic units, like some kind of matryoshka dolls.

"Mr. Yaoshen, this is the death symbol of an ordinary cynomolgus in the [Traveler] world. I have simplified it a bit. Red is the node of injury and life loss, so it looks like there are red mottled marks."

Hela raised her right hand and condensed another death symbol.

What is different from the previous one is that there are some small green dots in this word "death", which are concentrated around the red nodes, as if they are surrounded and contained.

"And this is Ant-Man's death symbol."

Hela added: "Green is the power of the gods, or more strictly speaking, the power brought by the godhead. So although the life span of the ant-men has been shortened, they can still continue to this day."

Lu Yao reacted immediately.

——The ant-man is a god?

"Mr. Yao Shen, the blood of the gods in their bodies has become very invisible. Usually the gods can only last for three to five generations, and then the remaining power of the gods will completely fail. But the ant people have survived in the local area for at least thousands of years."

"Based on their average life span of 30 years, this is far beyond the limit of the power of the gods, but the power of the gods is still in effect. Then there is only one possibility."

Hela said: "There are other external forces that continue to supply them, adjust and stabilize their death symbols, and the source of this external power is [Sedilia's Stone Array], which is closely connected to the rules of the world.

"This is a special force that will continue to act on the ant-people. Even if they are weak, they will be assisted by the power of rules to maintain the continuation of this ethnic group."

"The Stone Array serves this ethnic group. Sedilia transformed the world so that the Ant-Man can survive forever. The Ant-Man is most likely Sedilia's former divine descendant."

Lu Yao thought about it for a while.

Sedilia was kind to the Godborn. Even though he was about to leave, he still thought about the future and designed a complex and continuous rule in this world in advance to ensure that the Ant-Man would at least not become extinct.

"So I think there is no need to worry about the survival of the local ant people. Although they will fluctuate and weaken due to changes in world rules and the influence of the curse, they will gradually stabilize. Although the curse of the old gods is a special and difficult to remove power , but still cannot shake the entire basic framework of the world that has been carefully transformed.”

"Let me emphasize again that the rule design of this world is very exquisite and amazing. Various main rules support and connect each other, forming a structure that ensures that this world will maintain stable evolution."

"From the perspective of the operation logic and results of the rules and symbols, this series of changes ultimately points to a purpose that has never changed - to allow the ant people to get close to the stone statues and become descendants of gods through the stone statues."

Hella offers a radically different perspective than anyone before her.

He believes that the curse of the old gods is just a confusing appearance. The essence is that the world is trying to guide the locals to become descendants of gods through the stone statue array.

Theoretically, the harsher the environment, the more likely the aboriginal people will tend to get closer to the stone statues and gain the power left by the ancient gods to overcome difficulties and continue to survive.

But the designer didn't think of one small variable.

That's the local ant.

Hella said: “Because they were abandoned and cursed by the later god [Wind Hum], the locals were extremely disappointed and resistant to the gods, and even more disgusted with the wonders related to the gods. They allowed these stone statues to collapse and be sunk underground by geological movements. . This is the cause.”

"Ants do not have hearing in the traditional sense, but they are very sensitive to vibrations. Especially when they find unfamiliar vibrations, they will crawl quickly in panic. But similarly, the vibrations and murmurs of the stone statues will also scare away other predators. On the contrary, they will A shelter for their survival.”

"They heard the sound of the stone statues. Although the ants themselves are a small life, they have gradually changed over the years."

"It may have taken thousands of years for an ant to give birth to a god descendant. Then they improved and evolved from generation to generation, and gradually evolved into two types of ants that are descendants of the god, namely fire ants and seed ants."

"Revolving around these two kinds of ants, local people discovered their ability and value and began to raise them. Some people found fire ants that could remove the poison sacs and eat them, while others preferred the strong breeder ants."

A bewildered smile appeared on the goddess of death's head: "Although they hate to resist the legacy left by the gods, in the end, they still enjoy the gifts given by Sedilia intentionally or unintentionally."

"The relationship between gods and their people is sometimes so entangled and contradictory."

"This is the basic situation of Volut that I have investigated."

Lu Yao looked in awe.

As expected of a goddess who specializes in the study of disease and death, the death symbol has exerted strategic power this time. Hela's attainments in the academic field of death rank first among the gods known to Lu Yao.

Hela's well-founded judgment also made Lu Yao feel relieved a little.

--Thanks a lot.

The other party nodded slightly: "I saw very interesting diseases and ways of death this time, and I would like to thank Mr. Yaoshen for the invitation. I want to stay here for a while to further check out the local death symbols, and meet Miss Sekhmet." Communicate. ”

——Of course, please feel free to tell me what you need.

After Lu Yao settled down here, he started thinking about the exceptions again.

He first logged into the committee database.

After checking, there was no official description of the exception. There are two related articles, both of which involve some speculation about the exceptions, but they are not specialized research.

Lu Yao called Song Shiyi.

"I don't know about this either...Mr. Huang, come to my house. We are having a video conference and it will end in about an hour and a half. You can ask Teacher Zao and the others directly after the conference."

Forty minutes later, Lu Yao and Isabel arrived at Ludao where Song Shiyi was.

Song Shiyi was wearing a mask and a furry housecoat with bunny ears. Her face was pale and transparent, and she kept coughing.

"I caught a cold recently, so I took time off to work from home."

Lu Yao was shocked: "Can divine players also get sick?"

"Yes."

Song Shiyi coughed twice, and the corners of her eyes were red: "The benefits of population on the body are very limited, unless there is a very large population... I am not the type who is good at business."

A video conference was going on on the TV in the living room. There were a pile of square business cards with names on the right side, and the face of a middle-aged man who looked like a leading cadre was displayed on the left side of the screen.

He was saying: "Our country is a veritable digital economy power. According to statistics, the scale of my country's digital economy will reach 2 trillion yuan in 2022..."

“It is necessary to accelerate the construction of the basic system of the digital economy, and at the same time strive to promote international cooperation in the digital economy and conduct digital economic pilots in the virtual universe. All departments of the committee must do a good job in coordinating work, strictly control, and ensure the interests of the country and the people... "

Lu Yao was alert.

He seemed to have seen some kind of inside information.

Is it going to lead to a nationwide emptiness?
