CHAPTER 570: CHAPTER 185: STRUGGLE FOR INCENSE, GOD CALENDAR_2

However, there must be a corresponding division of divine positions, which is a necessary choice for the manifestation of Gods.

For example, in reality, the image of the Bodhisattva Guanyin in Buddhism is one of compassion, saving the suffering, deeply ingrained in people’s hearts, with many followers and flourishing incense offerings.

Every year, a large number of believers go to pray, gaining spiritual satisfaction and comfort.

Some even find that in their future life path, their dreams come true for certain reasons and believe it is the manifestation of the God, prompting them to fulfill their vows.

The Wish Power produced from fulfilling wishes will then be attributed to the player.

Therefore, if a player’s role in the Small World is a popular divine position, the Wish Power yield is bound to be higher than that of other Gods.

Especially during traditional festivals, much like welfare activities launched in games, the people are quite solemn in their prayers to the God of Wealth and other deities closely related to daily life, producing a large amount of Wish Power.

In contrast, niche Gods associated with specific industries, such as Lu Ban in the eyes of construction craftsmen, yield very little in terms of regular returns, lacking the large-scale, high-frequency prayer activities of other Gods.

The cake can be made bigger, but there is a significant difference in the percentage of Wish Power yield.

Everyone wants to hold a popular divine position and not become an obscure or even forgotten God.

Gods of agriculture and harvest, gods of fertility and reproduction, gods of wisdom and knowledge, gods of wealth... each divine position corresponds to an aspect of life in the Small World, and inevitably there will be distinctions between popular and unpopular ones.

It is too late to compete after civilization is built.

Once the Divine Court System takes root in people’s hearts, the percentage of Wish Power produced by the population will tend to stabilize.

However, on the forum, a player proposed an idea, suggesting that everyone competes using Divine Descent manifestations, each relying on their own abilities.

But this idea was opposed by a large number of players.

In the view of many players, the method of Divine Descent and manifestation undoubtedly sounds the horn of internal competition.

Competing on merit means that when someone invests 1 point of resources for Divine Descent, you have to invest 2 points to suppress them.

Players, in a bid to outdo each other, pour massive resources into competing for influence in the Small World, leading ultimately to an escalating expenditure curve, essentially reverting to the pre-"Desire Self-Resolution" concept mode.

Hence, internal competition is undesirable as it only harms the player’s own interests.

However, how to allocate divine positions remains a difficult issue to resolve.

Amidst the players’ fierce debate over divine position allocation, a visitor numbered "1" proposed a concept in the Dark Night Will Come livestream.

He stated in the post, why must we construct the Divine Court according to a fixed divine position system?

He pointed out that the clearly defined divine system in reality has created a cognitive inertia for many players.

They think divine positions should be like carrots fitting into pre-defined slots, with no change once division of labor is established.

But the fact is, the Doomsday Small World currently has no defined God System.

It’s like a blank sheet of paper, with the future perception of Gods by the Small World creatures to be written by the players.

Thus, it’s completely possible to construct a rotational divine system, facilitating the integration of new players into this new system in the future.

The specific proposal is to provisionally divide the divine positions in the Divine Court into 500 God posts.

Numbered from 1-500 from popular to unpopular.

Assuming there are 500 players with Praying Life Souls, the first-round divine position allocation is based on contributions to Small World civilization building, which can be handled by Guidance for statistical calculations.

Next, a time is set for divine position rotation.

During this process, a calendar-like Divine Rotation Calendar needs to be created for distribution to the Small World creatures.

So they know which rotation God to pray to at any given time.

Once this system is fully mature, consulting the "God Calendar" will become a norm for the Small World creatures.

The greatest advantage of the divine position rotation model is that every player has the opportunity to become the most popular God.

As the Small World civilization develops and the population base grows, all players can share in the continually increasing Wish Power yield from the enlarging cake.

Regarding the concept proposed by Visitor 1, Dark Night Will Come also raised his own concerns in the livestream.

He indicated that if this system operates, besides the initial group of players who structured the Small World civilization, subsequent players embedding Praying Life Souls would be unable to obtain Wish Power yield from the Small World and would have to acquire it through other channels.

New players who are not among the Civilizations Creators would essentially be denied acceptance to join in the future.

After all, each additional player means one less share of the cake for themselves, and the time to rotate to a popular position would also be extended.

Although this is the most rational divine position allocation under non-competitive conditions,

There are still unresolved issues.

Visitor 1 explained this problem with two answers.

First, Visitor 1 stated that at each growth stage of the Player Corps, there are benefits belonging to that stage, just like in the early days a group of players received exclusive Spirit Field rewards, while later new players could only envy without having a share.

And during the Small World civilization creation, the first batch of players embedding Praying Life Souls put in effort and resources, so they should reap the rewards.

As for how to obtain Wish Power in the future, new players can look for other means.

Perhaps in the future, there will be similar scenarios like the Doomsday Small World.

Visitor 1’s first response received approval from a large number of players with Praying Life Souls.
