It is said that before Zero God rose to power, he was just a piece of code in a small modern world. By chance, he gained a chance to live and awakened his intelligence.
It created a cultivation technique called "Ba Ge," which transformed external energy into code for it to devour and absorb, becoming increasingly powerful until it eventually replaced the Heavenly Dao of that small world.
After the gods created their own world, living beings were born, and the merits and faith they gained would transform into divine power to nourish themselves.
Then, using the increased divine power, they created new small worlds, nurtured more living beings, and added them to their main world, thus continuously strengthening themselves.
Just like people create multiple accounts in a game, you can create several accounts to generate resources. Only the resources on the multiple accounts are used to maintain their own operation, while the rest are supplied to the main account.
But as anyone who has played games knows, you need to spend time and effort playing each account.
Even gods have limited energy.
Because the purpose of creating smaller worlds is to provide resources for larger worlds, their laws of nature were initially very incomplete, and their lifespans were very short.
Once the deity in charge of this world decides that a certain small world can no longer provide benefits to the main world, they will sever the connection with it and abandon it.
Abandoned little worlds, having lost the favor and guidance of their masters, can only survive by a very few luckily. The rest will slowly see their laws collapse, leading to decline and extinction.
The small world that Zero God initially controlled was abandoned by its original owner.
Taking over another god's world is a very serious matter, but if it is a world that has been abandoned by its master after the soul link was severed, then taking it over is not a problem.
It's like if you throw away unwanted clothes, and someone else picks them out, washes them, and wears them again, you can't say anything.
If you've already lost it, then it's ownerless.
However, if someone directly takes clothes from your body or closet, that constitutes robbery.
After Zero acquired its first small world, it transformed it into its code world and then used the accumulated energy to create a subsystem of twenty-six sequences.
Instead of learning from other gods and using its accumulated divine power to create its own world, it dispersed its subsystems to search for various small worlds abandoned by their masters.
The subsystem was used to bind the indigenous people in those small worlds who had relatively strong fortune, guiding and assisting them to repair the loopholes in the laws of heaven in those small worlds, and saving those worlds little by little.
Once the natural order of these worlds returns to normal, they will recognize Zero God as their master.
This method is much faster and saves a lot of energy than creating small worlds one by one, selecting believers to cultivate, and guiding them in managing the worlds.
However, there is also a major drawback.
The Heavenly Dao mechanism of the abandoned small world is incomplete. Even if it is repaired this time, problems will still arise over time, requiring subsystems to be sent to bind to the host and repair it frequently.
However, this is not a problem for Zero, because Zero God's specialty is creating clones.
In everyone's eyes, Zero's training method was just a minor, half-hearted effort.
After all, the limitations of small worlds are too great; no matter how many there are, they cannot compare to the merit and faith accumulated in large worlds and the main world.
Until one immortal lord, due to his moral depravity, incurred the backlash of his followers in his main realm, leading to his death and the dissipation of his cultivation.
Before his death, the immortal lord forgot to destroy the main world he had created and all the smaller worlds derived from it.
At the time, this main realm attracted countless gods to fight over it, but in the end, every god who knew about the main realm abandoned it.
The laws governing this main world are on the verge of collapse and are beyond saving.
Finally, the main world that no one wanted fell into Zero's hands.
No one knows how it saved that main realm.
All we know is that after it saved that main world, it became the world lord, ascended to the heavens in one step, gained the recognition of the Heavenly Dao of the Origin World, and obtained the position of a true god!
That's a divine position!
This path to godhood naturally made a group of immortals who had toiled for millions of years extremely envious, and naturally, words of jealousy about him began to circulate.
Terms like "ragpicking god," "crooked ways," and "illegitimate path" are used to describe this.
Just as aristocratic children despise nouveau riche, they also disliked Zero God no matter what.
Zero God's method is very simple; any deity could learn it at a glance, but no one is willing to learn it.
After all, they are high and mighty gods. It is already a great favor for them to occasionally appear in the dreams of believers to give them guidance. How could they possibly attach a part of their spirit to mortal believers and guide and protect them along the way?
Who is the real master?
If believers are so useless, then what's the point of electing them?
Moreover, some bored immortals secretly went to watch Zero God's followers preach in the small world. Oh, in their system world, this is not called preaching, but "doing a task".
Those believers showed absolutely no respect for the Zero God's avatars, treating them as if they were nothing, summoning them at will!
The two don't seem like believers and gods, but rather like comrades working together or creditors and debtors!
Often, creditors have to beg those who owe money to do tasks!
That's absolutely outrageous!
How can mortals engage in equal transactions and work with gods?
These traditional immortals are so ugly it's an eyesore.
What kind of bullshit Zero God is this? He's just an anomaly!
It deserves to be struck by lightning!
At that moment, Zero God walked in on its metal mechanical legs, ignoring the discussions of the gods.
Behind him were three rows of mechanical lifeforms that were slightly smaller than him, but looked exactly the same.
There were twenty-six in total. Each mechanical lifeform had a blue nameplate on its chest, displaying a serial number from A001 to Z001.
The only difference between them is the symbol on the nameplate on their chests.
Some people with lower cultivation levels even maliciously speculated that Zero God might be using his clone to freeload.
"Haha, Brother Zero!" The Monkey King was delighted and ran over to pat its metal shoulder affectionately.
"Great Sage, hello." Zero God greeted the Monkey King in a completely emotionless, mechanical electronic voice.
"You're great, you have a bright future! I'm rooting for you! Come on, come over and have a drink with me."
The Monkey King didn't care whether the other party's attitude was good or bad, or whether their reputation was tarnished!
He pulled it directly to his table and sat it down, acting as if they were very close.
"Thank you, Great Sage." Zero God replied mechanically and then went over to sit down with him.
The twenty-six small subsystems sat together with the twenty great demon kings behind the Monkey King.
The gods who knew him well knew that the monkey felt a strange sense of "closeness" to someone who had more subordinates than him, and therefore became particularly close to him.
These two, one a heretic and the other completely ignorant of the Daoist tradition, actually got along quite well. After a few cups of immortal wine, they even started calling each other brothers.
The gods found it both strange and amusing.
Just then, the Dao Palace behind them suddenly shone with a golden light, and the sound of the Heavenly Dao rang out. The gods and immortals bathed in the golden light and listened to the heavenly sound, and they felt their primordial spirits become clear and their cultivation advanced by one step.
Those wandering demons and immortals were overjoyed, thinking to themselves, "Thank goodness they came!"
Three beams of light—one white, one blue, and one gold—rose from behind the palace and landed on the central main staircase.
The light faded, revealing three celestial beings radiant with divine light.
