Main God Creation Rules

Lin Yi's lips twitched, but he had no intention of pursuing the matter further. After all, this was the path he had chosen, and whatever happened was something he had to face.

You have to give something to get something; you knew that the decision was made the moment you made it. Now you're just paying the necessary price.

Refocus attention on this highly active world.

"Starting too high isn't a good thing either. While it may allow you to obtain a lot of information in a short period of time, it also increases the likelihood of being exposed and eliminated..."

As an information entity that split off from itself, the encounters of the information entities within the highly active world were somewhat beyond Lin Yi's expectations. After all, according to the original plan, it would take at least a year to come into contact with high-level fantasy species such as dragons and winged creatures. However, he did not expect that not only did he encounter dragons as soon as he was thrown in, but he was also taken away by winged creatures in one fell swoop...

However, the outcome wasn't exactly bad.

While the "dragon gene" extracted from Thor cannot be replicated in a low-activity world, it can be used to recreate that powerful fantasy species in a medium- to high-activity world. In other words, at the cost of an information entity, Lin Yi obtained a "unit template" that can be produced indefinitely as long as there is enough energy. And by using this chaotic dragon gene template, the scope for "invading" this high-activity world has naturally expanded considerably.

It was precisely because of this factor that when the data extraction progress was just a little short and the dragon was surrounded by the Skywing species, Lin Yi did not choose to resist or escape, but instead simply moved the dragon to another place. If it were killed by the Skywing species, where would they find the last 0.02% of the progress? He stayed in place to attract fire.

Of course, it's not to say that the Information Entity had no room for resistance at that time. If they were willing to pay a price, they could have dealt with that group of Skywing Races. The problem is that there was no need for that.

"Instead of clinging to a character whose stance is already tied to the chaotic faction, it's better to just delete the save file and start over."

With this mindset, when the information entity was surrounded by the Skywing race, Lin Yi did not resist, but simply "waited to die".

The result was gratifying. The Skywing race successfully "killed" the evil human who had colluded with the Chaotic Dragon, and Lin Yi successfully extricated himself from this ruined account. As for what happens next...

"God, this time the information delivery point is locked inside the Order faction."

【Command confirmation】

Last time, we knew nothing about that world and could only randomly drop it. After getting a lot of information about this highly active world from Thor, we naturally wouldn't repeat the same mistake.

"The starting point of the information system cannot be too high, otherwise it will be too easy to attract the attention of higher species... Cancel the information replication of the spiritual energy system, the fire seed system, and the virus system, and only retain the root system."

【Command confirmation】

Judging from the first information body's deployment, the magic and magic of the origin have a relatively high degree of adaptability to this highly active world. Under such circumstances, Lin Yi would naturally not do anything like "defying fate" or trying to stuff other systems into this place to mess things up. Not only would that waste time and energy, but it would also greatly increase the likelihood of provoking the world's will—that is, the hostility and attacks of those gods.

After deciding on the initial setup for the second "role," just as they were about to deploy it, Lin Yi suddenly remembered something: "Speaking of which, the information entity's emotional fluctuations became somewhat out of control after being deployed into the world?"

The information body is an incomplete copy of the host's original information, and its main components lack some information elements from the host.

His hand movements paused slightly before resuming as usual: "...It looks more like a human, doesn't it?"

[The judgment is correct.]

Crossing the Line of Faith: Chapter 366 The Labyrinth City of Orario

The labyrinth city of Orario.

Built atop an "underground city," this city boasts a peace and prosperity unmatched by any other region.

Centered around the governing "guild," numerous races, including humans, live in this city, which is the city where the underground city is located and where the gods gather.

Here, under the grace of the gods, many races join different divine clans, make friends, and engage in adventures, trade, entertainment, and battles.

Of course, all of this is based on a certain premise.

"Belongs to the Order faction."

Pulling down the hood, the dazzling light that fell into his eyes brought a slight thrill. Lin Yi, squinting, stood in the center of the street, casually observing the passersby.

Although they are called pedestrians, "people" make up a small proportion of the population, at most about one-tenth. There are also fantasy species such as elves, orcs, and dwarves, but because they all belong to the Order faction, they have equal status and power in this city.

Overall, this is a city isolated from the world. The war between "order" and "chaos" outside has not affected the development of this city built on a labyrinth. As for why this is the case, Lin Yi can only attribute it to one original intention.

"Training ground... no, it should be called a 'barracks'?"

This conclusion is entirely due to the fact that the city operates under rules and order that are completely different from those of the outside world.

If the main theme of the external world is the war waged between "order" and "chaos," then the theme of Orario is exploration—exploring the underground city beneath the city, a world whose boundaries are yet to be reached by humankind.

Exploration alone would be fine, but this dungeon is teeming with monsters that cannot be communicated with. To explore further, explorers must kill these monsters that block their path, forcing them to fight—become stronger—fight—become stronger…

In other words, Orario's theme is not exploration, but combat.

Given the legend that this underground city was created by gods and maintained by their power, it's not hard to deduce a conclusion.

The god Yin Linyin (7) 罒捂IX寺疚⑻Ling who created this massive underground city did so not for amusement or any other reason, but to use this "place" to obtain a huge source of combat power.

This world is a highly dynamic world where any creature, after undergoing intensive training, can potentially gain power beyond its own limits. This place is the area used for such "intensive" training. Races belonging to the Order faction receive the "blessing" of the gods and become their "familiars," training their bodies and minds by exploring dungeons. Once they reach a certain level, they are taken outside and deployed as a powerful fighting force for the Order faction in the war against the Chaos faction. From this perspective, calling this city, Orario, a "barracks" is quite fitting.

Of course, these are not things that Lin Yi needs to pay attention to right now. After all, he is at most a "blank character" who has just started out, without even the most basic "attribute panel".

"But it's also interesting."

Stepping into this "training ground" belonging to the Order faction, Lin Yi unconsciously revealed a subtle smile when recalling the information he had just obtained from the conversations of those adventurers: "I didn't expect to meet like-minded people in a place like this."

[Incorrect judgment; this system does not overlap with the system for creating and maintaining reincarnators.]

“I don’t think so. Once you choose to believe in a god and receive the god’s ‘blessing’ and become a ‘fellow’, you will get a ‘template’ that allows you to determine your ‘attributes’ at any time. Then you enter the dungeon and keep killing those ‘monsters’ to gain ‘experience’ and ‘resources’ to strengthen yourself… If you put it all together, isn’t that just another living ‘God’s Space’?”

—It's just that its scope is a bit small.

[This is a flawed judgment. The system's starting point, purpose, and core differ significantly from the Main God Space, making them incomparable.]

Lin Yi didn't bother arguing with the God's repeated "statement." In any case, entering a city belonging to the Order faction with such a system was much better than entering a chaotic area. At least in this environment, Lin Yi could complete his "mission" more quickly.

"So, the first thing to do is to become a 'fellowship' of a certain god."

This is the most basic prerequisite for entering the dungeon. In this city, one cannot strengthen oneself by killing dungeon monsters without becoming a member of the family. To a certain extent, this can be considered a kind of "monopoly"... But it is not without its advantages. At least through this means, Lin Yi can contact the top level of this world with a relatively reasonable identity.

"Gods... even though they are just avatars formed from divine power, it's still better than nothing."

It has to be said that Lin Yi was deeply shocked when he learned from the adventurers that there were dozens of gods in this city. After all, considering the strength of the god who was chasing Thor, it was unbelievable that a dozen gods who could easily flatten the city could be crammed into such a 'narrow' area. Putting aside everything else, the interference of the activity fluctuations emitted by these gods would be a disaster. However, after observing with his own eyes, he found that this was not the case.

What appears in Orario is not the god himself, but simply an avatar formed from divine power—highly compressed active energy.

Using these active clones, the gods gathered followers (believers) in the city to gain faith, bestowed upon them "templates" as a powerful source, and made them constantly kill monsters to obtain various "powers" prepared for them... until they grew to a certain level before letting them participate in the real war as qualified warriors.

After realizing this reality, Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief but also felt a little regretful. The former was because he didn't have to encounter a late-game boss right after leaving the beginner village, while the latter was because he didn't have the opportunity to access and obtain the most advanced data in this world.

"It will develop slowly, and eventually it will happen."

With this in mind, Lin Yi pushed open the dilapidated wooden door in front of him. On the advice of some "well-meaning" adventurers, Lin Yi learned that a god who was the easiest to approach and possibly the easiest to become his servant lived here.

—Hestia

Crossing the Line of Faith: Chapter 367 Hestia

Contrary to expectations, the "gods" in Orario are unusually friendly to ordinary races. Considering that their primary reason for being here is to gather "fellowships," gain "faith," and obtain combat power, their attitude is understandable.

Taking refuge here, Lin Yi didn't encounter the typical fantasy novel trope of having to undergo countless trials and tribulations, or defeat numerous bosses, before finally reaching the lofty deities. Instead, he simply asked for directions and knocked on a door.

"Hello, are you Lady Hestia?"

Smiling at the twin-tailed girl who opened the door, and concluding from her expression that he hadn't come to the wrong place, Lin Yi said quite decisively, "Please let me become your familiar."

Five minutes later, in the "bedroom" of the god Hestia.

"...So, you found your way here because you heard from those adventurers about a pitiful god who would randomly ask anyone he met on the road, whose plight was so dire that he would stop at nothing to gain a familiar?"

Out of the corner of his eye, Lin Yi glanced at the dilapidated surroundings and furnishings. He had gone from being skeptical of the stories told by the passersby and adventurers to now believing them.

Facing this "deity" composed entirely of active energy, Lin Yi revealed a subtle smile: "If you remove the last part, it will be roughly correct."

"wrong!"

Lin Yi slammed his hand on the table with a forceful slap. He had some doubts about whether it could last until the day it died of old age, but this "deity" didn't seem to care about the only decoration in the living room: "That kind of thing—I never did it!"

"At most, I just occasionally ask them if they need the help of the gods. How could I possibly do that kind of thing...that kind of thing..."

Towards the end, his tone became completely dejected.

Seeing this, Lin Yi was speechless. How to put it... there is always a gap between ideals and reality. He thought that no matter what, it was a "god", and even if it was an active clone, it should have a concept and aura completely different from humans. But after a few minutes of contact, it was completely different from what he had imagined.

Looking around at the room's furnishings and layout, a certain impulse compelled him to ask a question: "Isn't there a basic living allowance here?"

Lin Yi had no choice but to ask this question, since this place, as the residence of "gods," was completely unrelated to those two words. Although it wasn't exactly drafty, it was certainly bare-bones.

Generally speaking, how could one of the "creators" who maintains the operation of this city have fallen to such a state?

Thanks to her linguistic proficiency, this term, which belongs to a scientific worldview and only appears when civilization has developed to a certain level, was translated into a meaning that Hestia could understand and accept. Although she felt that this description was a bit strange, she still honestly explained: "In Orario, all gods must obey the rules, one of which is that they cannot actively use their own power to change the situation in Orario. Therefore, we can only improve our living conditions with the help of our 'familiars'."

"..."

It is obvious that Hestia, who still has no followers, is in a rather awkward situation. First, she cannot use her abilities and cannot change things herself; second, she has no followers and cannot change things from the outside. As a result, this dignified avatar of a god has been reduced to being destitute. If it weren't for the fact that she doesn't need to eat because of her special nature, she probably would have starved to death.

Thinking about this, even Lin Yi, with his strong sense of decency, couldn't help but feel some pity for this "deity." However, otherwise he wouldn't have come here—

"In that case, may I become your kin?"

Lin Yi brought up the topic again with Hestia. From the perspective of mutual interests, Lin Yi didn't think Hestia would refuse this win-win proposal. After all, what she needed now was faith and followers, while Lin Yi needed a channel to intervene and observe and collect data on this world. Clearly, it would be mutually beneficial.

However, they received an unexpected response.

"I reject."

With her arms crossed over her chest, Hestia was unaware that her gesture might be bothering others. Of course, Lin Yi wasn't bothered by it either; he was more curious about her reason for refusing: "Why?"

"My dependents are not just anyone!"

"But what I heard from those adventurers seems to be..."

"Ahem—those don't count. They were just tests, that's right, tests to see if they were qualified to become members of the Hestia Familia!"

—I almost believed it.

Without revealing his inner thoughts on his face, Lin Yi humbly continued to ask, "My Lord, can you tell me how I can pass your test?"

The reason for doing this was for convenience. After all, according to the adventurers' descriptions, apart from Hestia, who is still in a state of having no familiars, it is not easy to come into contact with other gods in Orario. It is not something that can be accomplished in a day or two. Moreover, even if you come into contact with them, you may not be able to become their familiar. In comparison, Hestia is the best choice—at least you have already come into contact with them.

If possible, Lin Yi didn't want to waste too much time searching for other gods. It would be best to get the "attribute template" from the person in front of him in one go. So he asked her about the "qualification test" that didn't exist before.

Perhaps not expecting Lin Yi to accept her explanation so readily, Hestia was visibly stunned for a moment, then quickly concealed her embarrassment: "Well... the test... is to convince me!"

"persuade?"

“That’s right. Tell me why you want to become my servant, and why I want you to be my servant.”

Meeting Hestia's curious gaze, Lin Yi felt that his initial decision might have been a mistake, but retreating like this didn't seem easy either...

"My first problem is that I need the help of the gods. Only by becoming a follower of the gods can I enter the dungeon and find what I'm looking for."

"Found something?"

"I don't know exactly what it is, but it's very important to me."

—After all, it's about the foundation of invading this world.

With a slight frown, Hestia seemed dissatisfied with the first answer, but she did not reject it outright, instead waiting for Lin Yi's second response.

"As for what I can offer you, my divine being..."

As he pondered, a flood of information surged and churned in his mind.

As a deity, what does it lack?

power?

wisdom?

time?

Or freedom?

……

Two short seconds feel incredibly long in the world of thought, but when Lin Yi, despite his exhaustion, uttered the second half of the sentence, he clearly saw the light shining in the eyes of this "divine being".

"I can bring about change for you."
