Writing, laws, customs, systems...
These are common things in human history. No ancestor would come out and say that you have to pay taxes if you use the text he studied.
But for the history of gods, if the achievements you have made use of the things of your predecessors, this achievement will definitely not be saved. Before the achievement reaches you, the box garden will help you pay this tax.
No Name happened to be active in the share of human history when the dystopian demon king disappeared. His main achievement was to conquer the final trial of mankind but not completely. A large part of the few achievements he obtained had to be given to the predecessors who had determined the history of mankind in the past.
That would be fine. When planning to create the small garden, the predecessors had actually thought of a solution. After all, the small garden is gradually expanding. It is true that later generations often need to pay taxes to their predecessors for their achievements, but the worlds that can be gathered by the core of the small garden are also gradually increasing. Overall, it is definitely not a loss.
But human history ended in 2000 AD, and then it forcefully shook the concluded human history and eliminated the dystopia. Now human history has a strong rejection of the sandbox.
The number of human history worlds observed by the sandbox is still increasing, but the increase is extremely slow.
For various reasons, No Name was once really poor.
No Name does not lack ordinary favors. Not only No Name, but the gods as well.
The favors that were optimized from generation to generation when the gods constructed their worldview are now useless to three-digit numbers, but are still priceless to the weak.
There are many gods supporting no name, and no name has no shortage of low- and medium-level favors, but in the three- and four-digit stages, low-level favors are useless.
In the small garden, numbers below four digits can be grown by favor, while numbers above four digits depend on merit.
Doesn't Canary know that the gods can't be trusted?
She knew, and she knew even more that as long as she was strong enough, the currently unreliable group of gods would become trustworthy.
There will be a group of gods who appear friendly to her on the surface but secretly want her dead. If those gods never get the chance, they will always be her helpers.
The biggest disadvantage of no name is the lack of three digits.
There is a lack of three-digit people who not only support no name but also completely belong to no name. There is a lack of three-digit people who are willing to live and die with no name no matter what kind of disaster they face.
I dare not say how many more, but whenever a three-digit number appears in No Name, some gods and Buddhas will change their views on the former No Name.
From the perspective of some gods and Buddhas in the little garden, after reaching three digits, no name became a group of gods, but the three-digit level is relatively weak, while the four-digit level and below are stronger in human history.
A deformed group of gods is still a group of gods - in the box garden, some stubborn gods will change their views on no name because of this, and feel that only after they are part of the same group of gods, no name is qualified to communicate with them.
It's not that Canary doesn't want to support one of her own to reach three digits, but she really can't do it.
The only two people in no name who have the possibility of reaching three digits are Kasukabe Takaaki and Canary herself.
If Canary really wants to reach three digits, there is a certain chance. After all, she is able to simulate the prototype of the Star Creation Map by herself, and she is very proficient in constructing the worldview.
But she can only choose one between the three-digit number and the poet. The poet's spiritual power is a kind of authority in human history. The poet can turn falsehood into truth. After the poet consumes his own spiritual power to submit a request to human history, as long as human history feels that the false history compiled by the poet is more beneficial to human history, it will treat the falsehood as true and conclude it.
It is true that the poet's spirituality is a bug, but it is also true that the poet's spirituality is useless.
A poet is a poet only if he is an individual. Don’t even think about three-digit numbers. Human history cannot limit and monitor three-digit numbers, and human history will not give three-digit poets spiritual power.
The upper limit of a poet's spiritual power is four digits.
The Poet's Spirit is an ability that requires great skill to use. It has considerable authority in human history and can interfere in too many things. It is essentially versatile, but the quantity is too small.
However, the four-digit upper limit of the amount of spiritual energy means that the poet's spiritual energy can only be used to the best of his ability in major matters concerning the small garden.
For example, Canary can consume four-digit spiritual power and then replenish the spiritual power consumption through the achievements of No Name, but even so, it only slightly alleviates the disadvantage of the poet's spiritual power.
The spiritual output of four digits is still far behind that of three digits, and there is still a world of difference between the four digits and three digits that are constantly replenished.
But for those who use their brains, the poet Linger's limited authority over human history is still important.
Canaries will never become three-digit numbers. Giving up the spirit of a poet in order to become three-digit numbers is not worth it. The same goes for Kasugabe Takaaki.
No name does need a three-digit number. It doesn't matter how many digits can be typed in the three-digit number, as long as it exists.
But for No Name, a top four-digit number that has the potential to defeat humanity in the final trial is more important.
There is no shortage of three-digit numbers of other gods in the box garden. If no name had not shown the strength to defeat humans in the final trial, why would the other gods support no name?
Apart from her and Kasukabe Takaaki who have the potential to become three-digit numbers, No Name's resources are simply not enough for the other four-digit numbers to become three-digit numbers.
For four digits and below, becoming stronger depends on grace. For above four digits, becoming stronger depends on transforming one's own grace through merit, or extremely precious top-level grace, such as solar sovereignty, or simulated star creation map.
But to some extent, top-level favors are important, and their importance lies in their status, which can provide "qualifications" and "merits" to the holders.
Solar sovereignty is important, right? But in essence, it is a fragment of Baiyasha's worldview. Whether it is held by a four-digit human or a three-digit solar god... the use of holding solar sovereignty lies in learning from its advantages, in the ability of solar sovereignty itself to assist in combat, in the status of solar sovereignty to interfere in human history, and in the share of merit.
The four-digit number holds the sovereignty of the sun, so it is promoted to the three-digit number. This kind of thing is impossible in the small garden.
It is true that if Kalji obtains ten solar sovereignties and fills his own simulated star creation map, he can reach three digits, but this is not his promotion based on solar sovereignty.
This is only recognized by the sovereignty of the sun. In Kalji's simulated star creation map, the ten cosmic views originated from different myths. To put it more bluntly, those ten cosmic views are derivatives and subsidiaries of other mythological cosmic views in the eyes of the box garden.
The birth of Kalki's Linga was influenced by many savior's teachings such as 'Messiah' and 'Maitreya'. Those teachings are considered the source of Kalki's Linga - but the source is not something that can be determined just because you say it is the source.
In the small garden, the definition of source is decided by the original star.
After the Original Star, the foundation for the birth of the cosmological views of other gods in the box garden was created. The cosmological views of other gods were derived again, and Kalgi's combined cosmological view came into being.
The Original Star is the mother, the cosmological view of other gods is the son, and the cosmological view of Kalki is the grandson.
Kalki needed to be recognized by the Sun Sovereign because the Sun Sovereign was part of the Primordial Star.
To attach his worldview to the definition of the Original Star and to the Box Garden is equivalent to giving himself a super-generational status, freeing himself from the restrictions imposed on him by other gods at the source - three digits will do.
The essence of this is not that Solar Sovereignty helps Kalji advance, but that Solar Sovereignty is a key tool in Kalji's advancement.
No matter what, advancement in the small garden ultimately depends on merit. Even top-level favors like Sun Sovereignty can only enhance combat effectiveness.
No matter how many favors you have, they cannot help a four-digit number advance. At most, they can only play an auxiliary role - unless someone directly gives you a whole set of three-digit favors.
no name has been operating in the small garden for a long time, but there is not a single three-digit number in the community because of the lack of merit.
No Name really has no shortage of ordinary favors, but favors are of little use to No Name. He is short of merits, but can't think of any good way to obtain them.
What can really quench No Name's thirst for merit is the sovereignty of the sun given by Shiroyashā and the sovereignty of the moon given by Indra to Black Rabbit.
If human history could continue to move forward one or two hundred years, no name would have some possibility of development thanks to the achievements of these two sovereignties.
Baiyasha has never lacked achievements in his life. Even though his spiritual nature was severed and the sovereignty of the sun was separated, Baiyasha, who is essentially the original star, has never lacked achievements.
To make contributions in human history, the contributions of the younger generation are built on the foundation of the older generation, and they need to pay taxes to the older generation. Shiroysha is the oldest senior in this little garden.
The Original Star Spirit, as long as the box garden exists, she will get a share of all the achievements that happen in the box garden.
Indra is the type who is content with what he has. Anyway, the merits he has accumulated for promotion to double digits are enough, and he doesn't want to be promoted, so there is no point in getting more merits. Therefore, he is willing to give the sovereignty of the moon to No Name... and he doesn't have a high opinion of himself.
Indra was originally an evil god, but now he has become a good god. Naturally, he would think about things like "If I want to do good things, can I do them well?"
When he finds out that No Name is trying to make the little garden better, Indra will be very pleased to hand over the sovereignty of the moon that can earn him merit to No Name.
But there are basically only two people in the small garden who are kind enough to no name to provide merits.
Even if other gods are willing to stand in the same camp with No Name, even if they also intend to make the future of the small garden better... they can naturally support No Name with some favors, but they will not support No Name's achievements.
People should keep the merits for their own use.
Even if our goals are basically the same, why should we give you the credits if our goals are basically the same? We also have our own plans, why should we provide credits and put aside our own plans to cooperate with you?
Why don't you give us your own achievements to cooperate with me?
Rather than trusting outsiders, the strong will choose to trust themselves. Even if the goals are the same, at most they can just do their own thing. The strong will feel that this resource can play a greater role in their own hands.
There are exceptions like Indra, who was originally an evil god but later became a good god.
Indra felt that as an evil god, he might not be able to grasp the key points when doing good deeds, so it would be better to invest the resources in others who could grasp the key points.
According to the gods' prediction when they built the box garden, the scale of the box garden's control over human history would gradually expand, and the box garden's upward channel would naturally be always open.
But now the scale of the sandbox that gathers human history has not expanded much, and the achievements of later generations still need to be handed over to their predecessors. In this way, the upward channel of the sandbox is basically blocked.
This is the situation that Canary faces.
If you want to get promoted and become stronger, you must gain merits, but it is too difficult.
What is the current situation of the box garden?
Horizontally, the scale of the sandbox's observation of human history has not changed much. Vertically, the sandbox's conclusion of human history is stuck in 2000 AD. Even the three-digit or even double-digit people in the upper echelons of the sandbox lack achievements.
Not to mention forces like no name. To put it nicely, they are supported by many groups of gods, but no matter how nice it sounds, it is just "supported", not that they can dominate a region on their own.
Even the large groups of gods have no food left, let alone No Name?
I wish I could divide a little achievement into eight petals.
Now, Canary looked at Su Qing and took a long breath, feeling mixed emotions.
How does a normal four-digit number advance to a three-digit number?
First of all, the worldview you construct complements the sandbox, which gives you merits - and energy.
Merit is a form of energy, but energy is not merit.
In the sandbox, merit is universal. If you invest in any favor, the favor will grow.
If energy is invested in favors, the favors may be inflated or excluded.
In prehistoric novels, grace is merit from heaven, and energy is magic power or spiritual energy, which are absolutely incomparable.
At the same level, the value of the two is very different.
Merit is roughly equivalent to the merit that comes from heaven, which creates a merit saint. Energy is roughly equivalent to all the magic power consumed by this merit saint.
A saint's quota of mana is neither strong nor weak... Any saint can take out hundreds or thousands of them, and they can be restored at will when they are used up.
But if a saint can take out a portion of the merits he has accumulated, he is considered rich.
Normal four-digit numbers rely on the small amount of merit given by the box garden as a framework to sort out quality and energy, and eventually form a three-digit worldview.
...How can one build a worldview based on achievements?
Canary sighed, holding back tears of jealousy.
