Chapter 80: Take it step by step

Anger may be present, but problems still need to be faced.

Lu Yao initially adopted an extreme approach to deal with it.

“I won’t do anything, eh, I’ll just leave it be and get stuck at this naming stage.”

However, although this stalemate continued, Lu Yao still couldn’t bypass the current obstacle. Moreover, the naming interface covered more than half of the screen, greatly affecting his field of vision, making it impossible for Lu Yao to see the movements of the little people.

This can’t go on.

Lu Yao fell into deep thought.

Is there another way to change the current situation?

Or should I just use lightning to destroy this arena?

But then there won’t be any wonders left.

He tried it, but found that he couldn’t do anything.

Naming had a very high priority. If this step couldn’t be completed, other people and operational stages couldn’t be initiated.

Lu Yao came up with another plan.

Normally, if there was a mistake in the game, there was a way to forcefully load a saved file…

But this method was somewhat dangerous.

Let’s do it!

He directly unplugged the power cord, and the computer immediately turned off. Then, the room became pitch black.

Lu Yao was startled. He looked around and found that the other residents in the neighborhood still had electricity, only his place had a power outage.

How strange?

He just happened to think about forcefully saving the game according to the usual game operations. Many games could retain the previous saved file without entering the cutscene.

Lu Yao took out his phone and checked, only to find out that he had not paid the electricity bill. He quickly topped up 500 yuan and then went to the power distribution room with his electricity card to swipe it again.

The room was immediately illuminated again.

With anticipation, he turned on the computer, opened the simulator, and selected to continue the game.

The screen slowly rotated and returned to the previous scene.

– You shall name it ______ Arena.

The strategy of using a bug failed.

Lu Yao was a bit helpless.

If he continued to be stuck like this, it would be equivalent to walking in place, with no benefits at all.

Forget it, let’s take it step by step.

Lu Yao adjusted his mindset and typed a few words on the keyboard.

The screen immediately returned to normal.

【The Garlic Tribe has built the first wonder: the Beer Arena.】

【Everyone’s intelligence has slightly increased.】

【Everyone’s luck has slightly increased.】

【The Garlic Tribe has invented the house pig.】

A column labeled 【Wonder】 appeared in the upper left corner.

At the same time, the Apostle’s Mark in the upper left corner changed from 0 to 1.

These enhancements didn’t make Lu Yao relax at all. He nervously watched for further developments.

What does the Temple of Gods say?

Lu Yao clicked on the temple.

Everything inside was basically the same. Above the temple were the avatars of two apostles, and in front of the statue were two slots for 【Blessings】 and 【Offerings】.

The only difference was that there was now a virtual image of a palace behind the statue.

Lu Yao tried placing the mouse on the blurry background.

At this time, a new prompt appeared on the game interface.

【You are now qualified to enter the Temple of Gods.】

【Please use the power of faith to forge the Ascension Staircase and enter the Temple of Gods, thereby becoming one of the gods.】

Lu Yao found that a spiral staircase appeared in the temple, extending from in front of the statue all the way to the distant shadow of the Temple of Gods.

【Ascension Staircase (0/6666)】

He looked and realized that this Ascension Staircase required 6666 points of faith.

Lu Yao burst into laughter.

Brother, I didn’t even prepare to pay this entrance fee!

Originally, he thought that after building the wonder, there would be a mandatory ascension or something… It seems that he was overthinking.

The threshold for the Temple of Gods is really high.

At least it would take over 10,000 faith points to become one of the gods.

Lu Yao calmed down and moved the mouse back to the wonder.

…

【Beer Arena】: A wonder built by the Garlic Tribe in the era of arena battles, driving everyone crazy.

All trainers in the arena receive a permanent combat boost, +3 damage.

…

Lu Yao felt delighted.

Wonders are a special type of building that provides benefits to the entire civilization.

The +3 damage boost from the arena may not seem significant, but considering the tens of thousands of people in the Garlic Tribe, as well as the various transcendent powers under Lu Yao, the cumulative effect of this enhancement is quite considerable.

Lu Yao immediately sent Isabella and the Blood Knight to train in the arena. This was equivalent to obtaining a permanent small-scale equipment upgrade, the earlier the better.

Then he arranged for Isabella to summon all the forest elemental creatures one by one. Except for the treants that couldn’t leave the forest due to the Forest Spirit, Isabella’s created creatures collectively underwent a round of training in the arena, which was equivalent to a small level up for all of them.

After doing all this, Lu Yao finally felt at ease.

If you have something good, you have to use it. Otherwise, it’s the same as not having it.The little people of the Garlic Tribe suddenly sent back a message: traces of heretical believers’ activities were found deep in the northern forest, suggesting the presence of other deities.

Lu Yao’s spirit was lifted. This was good news.

Let’s see, is it a new player or an old hand hiding here.

…

In the detention room, Jia Xiaokai ran his hand through his sparse hair.

“Prosecutor Song, I am the victim. Everything I did was forced by the ’Whistleblower’.”

“As a subordinate deity, what could I do?”

“The situation in the Pantheon is complicated. I had just ascended to the Pantheon and was weak, facing threats at any time. I had no choice but to join a group for protection. So I joined the ’Whistleblower’ and became his subordinate deity.”

“Once you join an organization, you have no control over your actions and must obey orders. You should understand this, Prosecutor Song.”

Jia Xiaokai leaned back slightly, his hands resting on his legs, appearing very relaxed.

Song Shiyi sat upright: “Why have you never mentioned the ’key’?”

“That’s personal privacy. Besides, I don’t have the key, I only know some related clues. It’s not my personal property.”

The middle-aged man raised his hand, his fingers lightly tapping on the table.

“Prosecutor Song, I remember the committee has a ’witness protection system’. As long as you provide special evidence or testimony, you can receive long-term protection and resettlement from the committee… How about we make a deal?”

“I’ll tell you some exclusive secrets.”

“As for me, I don’t ask for much. There’s a special clause in the witness protection system – when necessary, the identity of the witness can be changed.”

Jia Xiaokai paused: “I want to take a different path.”

“Like, joining the committee.”

“Impossible.”

Song Shiyi rejected outright: “You have a criminal record, you’ve had a negative impact on society… This does not meet the basic selection criteria of the committee.”

“So there’s no room for negotiation?” Jia Xiaokai spread his hands.

“The witness protection system, I can apply for. However, the testimony and information you provide must withstand verification and be confirmed as accurate to meet the application conditions.”

Jia Xiaokai’s lips moved, his smile fading: “I always believe that there are exceptions to everything. Since we’re talking about cooperation, let me show some sincerity first.”

“Prosecutor Song, do you know what happens when a deity falls?”

Song Shiyi countered: “Are you talking about players?”

“Everyone knows about players, it’s just that this part of their experience is completely erased, which is part of the Simulator’s selection mechanism.”

Jia Xiaokai smacked his lips, pointing to the sky: “What I’m talking about is the titled deities and the supreme deities above them… the so-called true deities.”

“The ’Whistleblower’ once said that before the Forest God fell, he downgraded himself and integrated into the Low-dimensional Space… He’s probably sleeping in some fragment world.”

“The ’Whistleblower’ keeps sending people into the many fragment worlds stripped from the Forest God. The real reason is that he wants to capture the ’Divine Body’ of the Forest God after he downgraded.”

“Although this would cause the Forest God to lose all past memories and Divinity, it would retain his growth potential and some abilities. That is to say, given enough time, his limit would be a supreme deity.”

Jia Xiaokai paused, speaking unhurriedly: “If the Divine Body of the Forest God can be found, theoretically, a new supreme deity can be created… You understand what I mean, right?”

Song Shiyi’s face turned serious.
