Chapter 7: Apostle of the Old God

In the God Simulator, there is no detailed description of this pixel world, nor is there a complete map and various data. As a god, the player has to explore it step by step.

The last time a black bear attacked the tribe, Lu Yao really thought it was a wild beast attack. It was only after the prophet examined the body that he recognized its true identity as a devil believer.

To a certain extent, Lu Yao doesn't know more than these pixelated people.

He just has the identity of a "player" that the pixel people cannot understand. He is a bit like an alien god who has descended into the pixel world.

Foreign gods...

Lu Yao thought of it immediately.

Since there are foreign gods like himself, there are probably local gods in the pixel world as well.

He looked at the [Energy Cane] in his hand and the [Cactus Follower] dormant in a small flowerpot nearby. These two magical treasures originally belonged to the God of the Forest. The temple showed that the God of the Forest had fallen, so these treasures that He held were lost.

Is a god like the God of the Forest an old god? Unfortunately, no one could answer this question for him.

Lu Yao thought about it for a while and made a decision.

Exchange! Although wheat is valuable, it is difficult for the Garlic Tribe, which is allied with the Forest Tribe, to monopolize this food. Rather than risk losing wheat for free, it is better to make an open deal now.

Lu Yao nodded [Yes].

A light bulb went on above the prophet’s head.

"God, your servant knows what to do."

He immediately started a private chat with the shaman next to him.

The tribal leaders of both sides quickly reached a consensus, and smiling faces appeared on the heads of the pixelated figures of the forest tribe.

"The Shaman got the wheat!"

"God Yao has blessed the tribe with food!"

"That's great, no need to be afraid of winter!"

"Great Yao God, wise shaman!"

Then, the little people of the Forest Tribe carried a sarcophagus out of the forest. They carried the sarcophagus all the way to the outside of the temple of the Garlic Tribe, and then the people of the Garlic Tribe took it into the temple.

A gray sarcophagus icon suddenly appeared in the temple interface, named [Apostle].

Lu Yao clicked [Apostle].

A standing picture appeared on the screen. In the picture, a woman with her eyes covered by a black cloth was lying in a gray coffin.

There were tiny cracks on her cheeks, and her body seemed to be sealed in mud and plaster. The gray rock shell was almost integrated with the sarcophagus. If it weren't for the soft face of the girl that could be barely seen, it would be no different from a stone sculpture.

…

[Apostle]: On the verge of death.

Apostle of the Forest God. Apostles carry out the will and orders of God, listen to the voice of God, and are the carriers of God's advent into the world.

…

According to the above description, this apostle seems to be a unit that the god player can directly control?

But it was not easy to wake her up.

Lu Yao clicked on [Apostle] and received a prompt.

——It will take a lot of faith to revive it and convert it into an apostle of your temple. Do you need to spend 500 points of faith to convert the apostle?

According to the faith consumption of miracles, one lightning bolt costs 20 faiths, which is equivalent to this apostle being worth 25 lightning bolts. He is currently unable to support this level of faith expenditure.

Lu Yao could only put aside the apostle matters for the time being and continue to work on the basic foundation of development.

He wondered if this dying apostle was a subordinate of the Forest God.

Considering that the [Energy Cane] was dug out from the forest by the prophet, the [Cactus Follower] sent by the forest tribe also came from the temple of the forest god, and the dying apostle was dug out from the ground, it seems that this forest has some kind of relationship with the forest god.

Unfortunately, there is no way to talk to the pixel man, there is no option to ask questions, and no clues can be found.

Lu Yao turned his attention back to the construction of the tribe.

He moved one of the brothers, Pig and Fish, to the river and the other to the forest. Before, one of them was a fisherman and the other was a hunter, so they could show their strengths.

Soon the two heroes gave feedback.

"The places with lots of fish in the river are in deep water, which requires boats. The tribe needs to build boats so they can fish."

"Medicinal herbs were found in the forest. There were signs of animal chewing and blood on them, but they were unidentifiable. It would take a pharmacist to identify them."

The resources are there, but there is a lack of professionals who can identify and use them.

Lu Yao knew that this couldn't be rushed, so he relaxed and watched.

He found two frozen corns in the refrigerator, put them in a pot and cooked them for dinner.

While chewing on the hot and soft corn, Lu Yao watched the little people in the tribe busying about, as if he was back in his childhood when he watched the simple happiness of the ants on the ground, which was quite entertaining.

Soon, snow began to fall in the pixel world and winter arrived.

Except for the two heroes, the Pig and Fish brothers, the pixelated people from the Garlic Tribe who had gone out returned one after another, and everyone hid in the house to keep warm. During the short day, they picked up branches from everywhere as firewood and cleared the snow around the temple and farmland.

Fortunately, wheat had been planted long ago, and the harvest from the wheat fields provided the tribe with a lot of food. Facing the cold winter, the pixel people were not afraid at all.

"We have wheat, enough food, and a warm home."

"Wheat, the power of wheat!"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"It looks like the winter will be long, but thanks to the wheat and garlic gifted by God, no one will starve to death this winter."

The pixelated people in the tribe all have happy emoticons above their heads.

At this time, the forest tribe suddenly came to visit.

Unlike previous trades, this time the visit was led by a shaman of high status. The prophet welcomed them and lit a bonfire between the snowdrifts to keep warm with the visiting allies.

An anxious emoji appeared above the shaman's head.

"Friends of the Garlic Tribe, we have encountered difficulties that we cannot solve, and we beg for your help."

"Twenty hunters from the forest tribe, who are also the best hunters in the tribe, went deep into the forest to hunt for the last time in preparation for winter. The heavy snow sliding down from the mountain buried them in the northern part of the forest, and we couldn't find them."

"Only the power of God can save them."

"We ask the almighty Yao God in the temple to have mercy on these hunters seeking food and give them protection. If we can help these compatriots survive, we will build a temple in the tribe, worship Yao God, and offer sacrifices and the loyalty of our tribe."

An exclamation mark appeared above the prophet's head.

He said: "Since you want to pray for the gods' blessing, then go to the temple and worship the god Yao. Only the most pious and honest requests can gain the gods' mercy and blessings."

So the shaman brought the tribesmen to worship around the temple.

Lu Yao pondered for a moment.

According to the shaman, if these people can be found, a temple can be built in the forest tribe as well. This is equivalent to blessing two tribes at the same time, so wouldn't it be possible to obtain sacrifices from both tribes?

But how can we save these hunters trapped in the snow? Lu Yao thought of the "Burning Sun" in Miracle.

This miracle, which costs 25 points of faith, should be able to melt the snow.

He selected [Burning Sun], expanded the range as much as possible in the northernmost area of ​​the forest that could be touched on the game interface, and then clicked the mouse.

A brilliant golden light appeared in the sky above the northern part of the forest. The thick white snow in the forest quickly disappeared, revealing many little people lying on the ground and shivering.

An exclamation mark appeared above the kneeling shaman’s head.

"Great God, the forest tribe is sincerely grateful for your kindness. We have full faith in your power and will immediately build a temple to worship you!"

Then the shaman sent out some of his men to quickly move toward the north of the forest where the snow had melted, and soon they found the missing hunters.

As the shaman promised, the forest tribe also built a temple. This temple was made of wood and imitated the appearance of the white temple.

What disappointed Lu Yao was that there was no change in the temple interface, and his plan to double the gifts and sacrifices did not come true.

But there are also gains.

【Your miracles have turned the attitude of the forest tribes into worship. 】

[Because they worship the same god, the Forest Tribe is merging with the Garlic Tribe. ]

Lu Yao cheered up.

If we can merge the more than 100 people in the forest tribe, it will definitely be a huge improvement.

That's more than 100 faith points! Population growth will also expand the boundaries of the temple's radiation. With more manpower, more random events can be triggered.

The current consumption of faith will be exchanged for long-term sustainable benefits.

Win!
