Main God Creation Rules

"The permissions of a character are never in their own hands."

He crushed the remaining small piece of divine power crystal in his palm. Although he had already figured out the operating mechanism of this underground labyrinth, the information body's mission was not yet complete, or rather, quite the opposite.

"Lord God, display the map information from the first level to the tenth level."

【Command confirmation】

A deluge of data, enough to drive anyone crazy, poured onto his retina, but Lin Yi simply squinted at the sight.

The sheer amount of data would drive anyone insane, given the limits of human endurance; yet, we are only human…

The rapidly processing mind received information recorded by the main gods over a full half-month at an incredible speed, categorizing and summarizing it, ultimately arriving at a detailed set of data that even the creators of these ten levels might not possess.

All of Lin Yi's subsequent actions will revolve around this "data".

"Reincarnators who meet the criteria are selected from the main god space and directly placed in Orario, forcibly added to the 'Neltharion Familiar'. Their abilities and enhancements are reclassified and then they are tasked with exploring the first to tenth levels of the underground labyrinth in the form of missions."

[Command confirmed... Qualification screening in progress... Coordinates locked... Deployment in progress...]

Capturing the "image" that only he could see, Lin Yi kept thinking about whether there were any oversights in the changes that were about to happen.

----------segmentation----------

Every world has its own rules, and the most peculiar rule in this highly dynamic world is that the aggregation of faith can produce gods, and even the weakest god possesses the combat power to fight against a city, not to mention the powerful gods.

After noticing this peculiar rule, Lin Yi directly modified the intrusion steps for this highly active world.

Admittedly, with the current combat power and resource reserves of the Main God Space, even if it were to launch a direct attack, it would have a greater than 90% chance of conquering this highly active world. However, the problem is that such an attack would result in significant losses—just like how the Immortal Execution Sword crippled itself in its attempt to invade a highly active world.

Compared to a direct assault, utilizing the unique rules of this world is more advantageous, especially the rule of "faith in deities."

If even weak mortals can give birth to powerful gods through faith, then what level of existence can be created by bringing already powerful reincarnators into this world and forcing them to believe in a non-existent being through death?

All of this culminated in a plan that was ultimately completed with the assistance of the Supreme God.

Creating gods.

Crossing the Line of Faith: Chapter 373 Long Time No See

The labyrinth city of Orario.

In this city themed around "exploration" and "adventure," the gods gather at fixed times each month to exchange ideas. The topics of conversation are usually about powerful new adventurers and the latest happenings in the underground labyrinth. Naturally, such topics are completely foreign to Hestia, who previously didn't even have a single familiar.

"But this time it's different!"

Standing before the magnificent golden gate, the deity, head held high and chest puffed out, strode proudly into this place that belonged to the gods.

"Hestia?"

"What?! That 'Loli Goddess' is also attending the banquet?!"

Where is the 'Virgin Goddess'?

Clearly, the preparations and awareness of the "divine beings" were completely futile.

Having finally escaped from that group of overly enthusiastic gods, Hestia suddenly noticed Loki talking to a god with a serious expression.

Unlike Hestia, who was arguably the most unsuccessful deity in Orario, Loki, with the largest kinship and powerful individuals like the "Sword Maiden," was probably the most successful.

Driven by some kind of curiosity, Hestia moved closer to Loki.

"I understand, I'll tell Ais and the others to be careful."

Just as they were getting close, the conversation seemed to end. Before Hestia could get away, she was caught by her "friend" and teased for a while before Hestia brought up the topic again.

"You mean that... Hestia, have you ever heard of the god 'Neltharion'?"

"Neltharion?"

"Yes, a deity that has recently emerged in Orario, and it seems to have developed a rather large kin at some point."

Hestia asked, puzzled, "If it were in Orario, it would be an existence just like us, right?"

"That was my initial thought too. I even planned to meet this newly emerging deity tonight, but..."

Looking towards the bustling banquet, Hestia, realizing the meaning behind her action, asked in surprise, "He's not participating in this banquet?"

"Well, at least so far, it hasn't happened yet."

"They're probably not used to it yet, this kind of ostentatious banquet."

“Only you would have such a thought. With the number of Familia that ‘Neltharion’ currently possesses, it ranks among the top in the entire Orario.”

As he spoke, he patted Hestia's head, whose face was full of displeasure.

"No matter what, it's best to be careful, especially for a 'weak god' like you who has only managed to develop a few clans with great difficulty."

"You're the weak one—"

----------------segmentation----------------

That night.

"...Therefore, weak clans like ours must be careful. If we encounter any unfamiliar situations, we must avoid them as soon as possible, understand?"

Since Frankenstein couldn't speak, Lin Yi had to take over the conversation: "Even if you say so, my lord, I still don't quite understand... What is this 'Neltharion Familia'? Is it different from the other Familias of Orilarion?"

"I don't know yet whether they are the same or not, because I rarely attend those kinds of banquets—cough cough, I rarely come into contact with other gods, so I'm not very clear about it either. Asking you to avoid them is just for safety's sake, that's right!"

Qun?Er Jiu O Wu San〗VIII?〢Qi Yishan nodded as if "suddenly realizing," and Lin Yi readily agreed: "I understand, if this is the advice of the divine being."

He gave the command to the heroic spirit standing blankly beside him, who then belatedly nodded up and down.

Satisfied with the scene, Hestia, who was about to end her daily routine discussion, suddenly stopped as if she remembered something: "Right, let's recruit new partners!"

"..."

--------------segmentation--------------

One mouth at the top, legs running themselves ragged at the bottom.

Despite having already severed ties with such a life, Lin Yi subtly and deeply felt the pressure and helplessness brought about by those words after stepping into this world.

For Hestia, this might just be a reality that allows her to feel her clan growing stronger, but for Lin Yi, it means making a lot of changes to the already planned scheme. The most troublesome part is how to create a "new partner" for her out of thin air.

Solving this problem before the "God-Making Project" was launched wouldn't have been difficult; at most, one could just summon another Heroic Spirit using the Root. However, this became impossible after the "God-Making Project" was officially launched.

Currently, aside from the magic that sustains Frankenstein's existence, the remaining 80% of the power is barely enough to control the large number of reincarnators deployed in Orario and the information on the first ten levels of the dungeon. Summoning a new Heroic Spirit would only cause the current situation to collapse completely, but doing nothing is not an option either.

"They have noticed the anomaly."

No matter how well they tried to hide it, the existence of the "Neltharion Familiar"—that is, the reincarnators—was still noticed by the gods. After all, it was hard to ignore the sudden appearance of so many "adventurers." Right now, all they could do was buy time. Before that happened, Lin Yi had to conceal himself as much as possible.

Clearly, the servants refused the task from the gods, especially since this "easy" task did not meet the conditions for concealment. Therefore, Lin Yi had to solve this task of "increasing the number of servants" as smoothly and perfectly as last time.

"……trouble."

Troublesome as it may be, what needs to be done still needs to be done.

The next day, the ninth level of the underground labyrinth.

As the deep incantation echoed, a large amount of unowned energy in the air converged towards the magic circle emitting a faint glow at the center. After a burst of intense light, an individual from another world stepped into this place through the forcibly torn world barrier. Because the process was too brief, and the individual who passed through was too weak compared to the entire world, it only aroused the suspicion of a small number of powerful beings in this world and did not cause much of a commotion.

After confirming that no more serious consequences had occurred, Lin Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief before turning his gaze to the girl who had appeared in the center of the magic circle.

The magical mist dissipated, and the amber eyes remained fixed on him as always. A strange feeling spread through his heart. After a moment's hesitation—

"Long time no see, Eve."

"...It's been a long time, Father."

Crossing the Line of Faith: Chapter 374 My Name—Neltharion

The underground labyrinth, the ninth level.

"...That's roughly the situation. I need to stay here for a while to complete some necessary preparations. Your task with Frankenstein is to deal with Hestia and complete the tasks she assigns while trying not to arouse her suspicion."

"Yes, Father."

No matter how much time had passed, Eve always seemed to be able to give her the answers she needed most whenever she was in contact with her, compared to...

"Woo..."

"Is there a problem?"

Looking at the heroic spirit who could only make these monotonous sounds because she couldn't speak, Lin Yi noticed that she seemed to have shown a strange reaction that she had never seen before since Eve appeared.

With a slight frown, just as Eve was about to ask for details, she suddenly spoke up: "Father, leave this to me."

"...Then that's settled."

After all, the time allotted to information providers is limited, and lingering here isn't a good idea.

Guided by the main god, the magic circle beneath their feet quickly unfolded, transferring them to the tenth level. With the departure of the leader, only two girls remained facing each other.

Strangely, one looked at the other with indifference and disgust, while the other responded with surprise and longing.

"Woo..."

"Don't compare me to you, you're a defective product."

The cold words interrupted the attempt to convey goodwill. Eve did her best to suppress the urge to tear this "doll" that had appeared beside her father—for her father, it still had some value.

However, even so, she still couldn't accept it.

"Who do you think you were made by? And who do you think I was made by?"

The fiery rays of magical conversion flashed by, leaving a deep, bottomless gash in the middle of the ground where they stood.

"If you're looking for a partner, go to any toy store and find as many as you want. But if you dare take another step closer to me..."

"Woo..."

Ignoring the sorrowful gaze behind her, the girl turned and left.

----------segmentation----------

When Lin Yi first introduced information into this world, he came into contact with a dragon, one of the top predators in this highly active world, through various coincidences. He learned a reality from the dragon.

"The dragon gods are dead... Although it is unknown whether the concept of death exists for gods, it is a fact that they have disappeared."

That's why dragons, as symbols of power, are hunted down and forced to flee by mere weak humans. While the oppression from the Order faction is certainly a factor, if the dragon gods hadn't completely fallen, even if the Chaos faction were at a disadvantage, they would never have allowed their dragons, who believed in them, to fall to such a state.

"So, what can I get out of this?"

For an invader from another world, the disappearance or non-disappearance of a mere race's gods, or even the unprecedented event of the Order faction completely defeating the Chaos faction, or the Chaos faction completely suppressing the Order faction, would be meaningless. All Lin Yi needed was a "stepping stone" to invade this entire world.

Then, combining the information provided by Thor, the special rules governing the world's belief in gods, and the unique environment of the labyrinth city of Orila...

“If a dead god can no longer absorb faith, then a new god is created to replace it.”

The gods created are not non-existent gods or fictitious gods, but gods that have been lost but have been "awakened" again.

This time, however, it will not be the dragons or humans who believe in its existence that will awaken it...

The underground labyrinth, the tenth level.

[Information extraction completeness: 89.8%; estimated projection success rate: below 85%.]

"The time isn't right yet... so what?"

Since we are exploring the unknown, we should never expect everything to go smoothly; this principle has been clear for a long time.

"God, open the forbidden zone."

【Command confirmation】

In a daze, the world before him froze for a moment, then resumed its operation at less than one-tenth of the previous speed. Lin Yi used to find this situation incredible, and even had the illusion that it was a forceful manipulation of the rules of time by an individual, but now it seemed nothing more than that.

"The aftereffects of excessive acceleration of thinking... The longer it lasts, the more information the brain receives. When the total amount of information received exceeds the processing limit of the brain's central nervous system, it will damage the ability of the main consciousness to think. It is a typical double-edged sword."

Raising his hand, the previously pale palm became rosy, and when he clenched his fist, one could vaguely see the veins of blood flowing rapidly within them.

"...addictive."

This power may lack the mystery of magic or the beauty of technology, but it possesses a purity and strength unique to life itself, and it is willing to pay the price of life itself.

[Note that the genetic information in the information body is severely degraded.]

The reminder from the Supreme God roused Lin Yi from this intoxicating experience. He exhaled and overturned the lawn and the ground in front of him.

Behind the billowing dust, a calm voice rang out: "Gene inlay, template is 'Dragon Clan'."
