I Became a God of a Microscopic World - Chapter 17
Chapter 17: Another Sacrifice, Li Yu’s Wish
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The first sacrifice was hosted by Li Yu. Having successfully established contact with the gods, now that he spoke, everyone believed him. However, some people were still puzzled.
“We are clear about the world’s items, but why would the god want cultivation techniques and historical records?”
“The records of our Bauhinia Kingdom, along with the history gained from the destruction of the Kingdom of Fire, are we going to sacrifice all of them?”
“That’s for sure. All of them should be sacrificed,” Li Yu said. “To a god, sacrificing a world item is naturally the best sacrifice. However, it doesn’t have to be the best sacrifice every single time. A slightly inferior sacrifice isn’t impossible, but for the amount involved, the more the better.”
“Should the historical records be sacrificed as well?”
“There’s no need to worry so much. Everyone, go back and bring over all the books you know. Be it cultivation manuals, martial techniques, or historical records, they can all be sacrificed.”
“That’s right. If we sacrifice all of them, Lord God will definitely be happy.”
Everyone discussed for a while more before finally returning home. They took all the cultivation manuals, historical records, legendary biographies, and all sorts of secretaries that they had collected and placed them on the altar.
This kind of information record only needed to be duplicated. It wasn’t that it would disappear after being sacrificed, so no one felt that something was wrong.
After all, without the appearance of the Lord God, the Bauhinia Kingdom would long since have perished.
…
At this moment, Luochuan heard a series of sacrificial sounds.
“Ding, your believers have offered you a cultivation manual, ‘The Path to Becoming an Extraordinary Being’.”
“Ding, your believer has offered you a cultivation manual, ‘Detailed Explanation of the Primordial Particles’.”
“Ding, your believer has offered you a cultivation manual, ‘Flaming Blade’.”
“Ding, your believer has offered you a historical record, ‘The Great Events of the Bauhinia Kingdom’.”
“Ding, your believer has offered you a legendary biography, ‘The Origin of the World’.”
One after another, the sacrificial information kept coming in. Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding. It was so noisy that Luochuan was annoyed. Later on, he blocked all the sacrificial information to prevent it from disturbing him.
However, he did not come out to deal with it. The Book of Wisdom dealt with it diligently behind the scenes and he was not affected too much.
He would eventually know what he needed to know, and he could even give a more systematic arrangement.
As the sacrifice from the Bauhinia Kingdom continued, not only their own, but also the cultivation techniques and books that they had plundered from the Kingdom of Fire were all sacrificed to Luochuan.
“Very good.”
Seeing that he had obtained a large number of cultivation manuals and historical records, Luochuan felt very satisfied.
With these records, he would be able to lay a foundation for his path of transcendence. The space for starting and improving would definitely be better than the space for others to naturally awaken.
However, after receiving the offerings, he would have to return some things to form a good cycle.
Believers also needed to live and reproduce. They could only take what they wanted and could not form long-term returns.
“I am very satisfied with your offerings. What do you want?”
After a while, Luochuan transmitted his voice over, directly resounding in the depths of Li Yu and the others’ minds.
“We have succeeded. We have pleased the god.”
The believers led by Li Yu were paying their respects to the god. Luochuan’s voice sounded in their minds, and everyone was ecstatic.
They had spent so much effort to sacrifice so many items. Wasn’t it all to obtain the god’s wish?
One had to know that the first time they sacrificed, they had obtained an equivalent wish. After destroying the Kingdom of Fire, the Bauhinia Kingdom was able to regain its kingdom and annex the Kingdom of Fire. It would reach its peak after that, as not only had their country’s strength increased but their territory and population had also increased.
Now that they had sacrificed once more, they had obtained another equivalent wish.
“Your Majesty, what is the value of this sacrifice? How should we make a wish in order to maximize our benefits?”
Some officials had never participated in the first sacrifice before, and they had only listened to the explanation of the members of the Knight Regiment.
Hearing it once did not mean that they understood. Thus, they began to ask.
If something happened to Li Yu, who would be in charge of the sacrifice in the future? And what if he needed to seek help from the gods, but did not understand the rules? If he made a random wish, it would bring great trouble to the Bauhinia Kingdom.
Therefore, Li Yu thought about the officials’ questions and explained seriously, “First of all, we must not be too greedy.”
“We must never overestimate the value of our own sacrifices. To the gods, that might be something insignificant. They are only willing to give us feedback. Greedy believers will be despised by the gods.”
“Only an equivalent wish can satisfy the gods, then they will continue to respond to us.”
“Right now, our Bauhinia Kingdom is suffering from all kinds of natural disasters, and there are occasional internal rebellions. Why don’t we let the gods eliminate the natural disasters?” A general voiced his opinion.
“Stupid!”
Hearing this, Li Yu retorted without hesitation, “There are all kinds of natural disasters in the Bauhinia Kingdom, and they are spread throughout the entire kingdom. Are you asking the gods to work for us? And then use their strength to eliminate the natural disasters?”
This was obviously not an equivalent exchange. Cold sweat broke out on the general’s forehead.
Li Yu shook his head and did not reprimand him. Instead, he said, “Regardless of whether it’s a flood, drought, or locust plague, although these disasters are terrifying, they will pass sooner or later. What is truly terrifying is the famine that will result from the disaster. Not a single grain will be harvested. If we don’t solve the problem of famine, who knows how many people will die in the Bauhinia Kingdom.”
“This…”
Hearing this, the internal affairs official couldn’t help but nod his head. It was indeed so. Although the natural disaster was terrifying, it couldn’t be compared to the famine that would follow.
The people who suffered from the natural disaster could think of ways to resist and help each other tide over the difficulties. However, when the famine came, people would starve to death.
Then, they could only rely on the help of the Bauhinia Kingdom. If the kingdom was unable to help, a man-made disaster would arise.
If there was enough food, no matter how many natural disasters there were, they would only affect the economy. The rest was nothing.
As the king, Li Yu had recently opened his eyes and understood what he needed the most. At this moment, he said to the statue of Luochuan, “Lord God, please give us food to tide over the natural disasters.”
…
Through the connection of the thread of faith, Luochuan, who was in the other world, also heard the wish of his follower Li Yu.
He hoped to obtain enough food to tide over the natural disaster.
“Food?”
Hearing this wish, Luochuan immediately smiled. If it was some other strange wish, perhaps he might not be able to solve it, but just the food problem was too simple.
After all, it was a miniature world, and the people living there were all miniature humans. If Luochuan took out some food from this world, it would be enough for those miniature humans to eat for a long time.
Thinking of this, Luochuan did not hesitate and took out a 50 jin bag of rice from his kitchen.
With the amount of rice in this bag, it was estimated to be enough for the 800 million people of the entire Bauhinia Kingdom to eat.
Luochuan found a cart and pushed the rice towards the castle. However, he did not enter through the front door. Instead, he took a detour and went through the back door.
There were cleaners cleaning the castle at the front door. He did not want to attract attention.
The back door allowed him to avoid the cleaners and go directly to the top floor of the castle.
Luochuan had locked the top floor. However, when he looked at the door that had obviously been cleaned, he frowned.
If he didn’t lock it, he wouldn’t be at ease if someone saw the wooden door. However, if he locked it, some people who were bored and fantasized about treasures inside would try their best to get in.
“I’ll have to try moving that door later,” Luochuan muttered, as he unlocked the door and walked in.
