77 – AI development
The best way I found to talk to Lucy about my idea was to be honest with her.
Instead of looking for ways to convince her in a misleading way and possibly lose her trust at some point, I decided to just be honest with her and tell her the problems I thought Pantheon might have and how I thought I could deal with them without getting caught in a web of problems.
The idea I decided on was that I would actually use the idea I had adapted from the large corporations in my previous world.
The Internet would have an 80-20 split, where I would receive 80% of the Divine Power that the Internet received in profit, and the other 20% would be divided between the gods based on how useful their divinity was in getting all of the Divine Power.
For Lucy, this was great news because she wouldn't have to share the Divine Power with anyone except Zane, who would only get a small part of the 20%, while she, who was very important to the Internet, would get the vast majority of the 20%.
So instead of getting 20% of the Divine Power from only the parts she had direct access to, she would get 20% from the entire Internet, greatly increasing her Divine Power income.
After listening to my explanation, Lucy smiled as she pulled her blue hair to the side of her face. "Don't worry, I can't think of a better way to handle this either, except for the fact that the way you've thought of it will be both fair to you, who created the Internet platform, and fair to other gods like me who are just joining in and reaping the benefits of your large base of believers."
Seeing that she understood my side and was so sympathetic made me sigh with relief.
"Thank you for understanding, Lucy, as your deity is extremely important to the Internet, as I can't imagine the Internet without audio, you don't need to worry about these changes, as your share of the Internet's profits will always be high, even more so as you will be able to enjoy a lot of profits before other gods enter the pantheon." I answered with a sincere smile.
What I said wasn't a lie, since Lucy was really very important to me, since using her divinity to attack was much more economical than using my own divinity, since hers didn't have the limitation of 10 times the cost of divine power to make attacks, so I wouldn't do anything that would put her in a very bad position, since I needed her power to protect me.
When she heard what I said, Lucy smiled with satisfaction, apparently realizing that I really appreciated her.
After our discussion, Lucy and I went to the capital of Aetheris to spread the word about the Internet and the outcome of the war, just as I had done in Eldoria to conquer that kingdom.
If the royal family of Aetheris wasn't very receptive, I would have no problem summoning another dragon to destroy them and take over that kingdom as a subordinate kingdom of Arcantor.
The conquest of Aetheris went very well.
Upon learning that the God of Thunder had been so badly defeated that he would never return, the mortals were shocked and quickly surrendered to me, increasing the number of believers in the God of the Internet by another 100,000 in a matter of hours, with that number possibly rising by a few hundred thousand more in the next few days as the news spread to the rest of the kingdom, just as it had in the other kingdoms I ruled.
This finally gave me time to start developing the AI I so desperately needed to develop my Big Data.
In order to develop it as quickly as possible, I used my main body in the Divine World, spending a large amount of Divine Power every hour to run tests and simulations on the development of this AI in order to do it as quickly as possible.
Unlike the cost of making a new app or a new game, making an AI put me on the path of a God who was trying to create life.
Even if that life was completely artificial, something that just analyzed data and decided through logic and patterns how to react, it was very close to the path of actually creating a life, so the cost of what I was doing was very high.
The first step in doing something like this was to build a server to store the data. Since I already had my deity serving as that server, that part was already done.
The second step was to categorize all the actions that users could take on the Internet, whether it was clicking on an app, how long they spent on the screen to select an app, which app they would click on after clicking on another app, defining a way for the AI to understand and categorize the messages that people wrote, as well as various other data that could be extremely useful for profiling users.
Once the way to categorize and collect the data was complete, the most expensive part of the process came.
In the third step, AI had to interpret the data and, based on the patterns in the data, identify how the user felt about doing this or that on the Internet, how the Internet affected the user's mood and thinking, and what information could be extracted from the data.
Once that data interpretation was done in an initial form, it would be followed by data interpretation in a more complex form, where the AI could make suggestions and personalize the user's experience to keep them more focused on using the Internet, as well as separating out important information so that I could access it at any time and deal with that information in the best way possible.
Just to define these processes and develop an AI that could start following these commands, I spent a total of 12 hours of direct development in the divine world, or 24 hours in the mortal world.
In addition to a cost of nearly 4 million Divine Power Points.

| Divine Power: 2,258,876 / 25,600,000 -> 3,037,132 / 25,600,000 (+5,614,236 -3,713,132 [AI Development] -1,122,847 [20%])
=========================
Even with the Divine Power costs I incurred in both the initial AI development and the 20% payment to Lucy and Zane, I still made a small profit of almost 800k Divine Power points at the end of the day.
Of the 20% I paid to Lucy and Zane, 90% went to Lucy and only 10% went to Zane.
This amount was split this way because I hadn't made an app for Zane and it would be unfair to give him nothing, and because it would be unfair to give less than 90% to Lucy since her deity was the only useful one so far.
As soon as Zane received the 112k Divine Power transfer, he immediately called me and thanked me for the Divine Power, even though he hadn't done anything online yet.
As a Rank 4 Embryonic Divinity, he only needed 80k Divine Power Points to reach Rank 5, and if this Divine Power gain continued at this rate, it was possible that he would reach Rank 9 by the end of the test.
Seeing his gratitude, I just smiled and told him to keep trying to find uses for his deity on the Internet, and I would develop his applications in the future.
Turning my focus to my AI, so far I only had a very basic model, just a cold, lifeless program that would simply analyze the data and give me the answers I needed, since that was the price I could pay now, but with the possibility of upgrades in the future.
To start testing this, instead of going straight to [Carrier Pigeon], which was the application with the largest amount of data that the AI would have to deal with, I decided to start with a simpler application.
[Library].
As soon as I used my Divine Power to activate this AI to analyze the data, a screen appeared in front of me showing the entire process of what this AI was doing.
Even though 30 minutes had passed and some results had appeared, I ignored it and let the AI work for a few hours to give me more accurate results.
- Jimmy's POV -
After the God of the Mountains was defeated by the God of the Internet, our life in Valoria returned to the tranquility it had been before the arrival of the gods.
Or rather, it was even better, since we weren't forced to worship the God of the Internet in churches and make sacrifices.
He didn't even make us pray to him every day of the week, but even though he didn't make us pray to him, I still prayed to him five times a day!
All because of the Internet that he developed.
Who would have thought that I, a simple soldier of a baron, could know all the news and gossip from all four kingdoms ruled by the God of the Internet! Or rather, five kingdoms, now that Aetheris has also been taken over by the Internet God!
Even though I had a simple and proud life as a baron's soldier, where I thought I was close to the pinnacle of what I could achieve, after seeing what life was like for people in even higher positions in the big cities of the kingdoms, wizards at the Arcantor Magic School, adventurers, and all sorts of things I didn't even know existed, I was shocked.
It gave me hope to travel the world, get to know the other realms under the Internet God, and experience the different foods and different stories of the people in the other realms.
But I realized that I needed power to do this safely.
Unfortunately, the God of the Internet didn't seem to like warriors as much as he liked mages...
Unlike mages, who had dozens of books of knowledge on the Internet, warriors had only one basic book...
Even though I searched it several times a day in many different ways, I couldn't find anything that could help me with my problem...
-
Just as Jimmy couldn't find any guides for warriors, several other internet users had problems with things that Adrian had no idea about, but with the help of the AI, several of these problems would be noticed and he would know where to improve.
