Despite having Uzumaki blood, which makes people tend to be more impulsive, Shoichi as the Uzukage and Daimyo has always prevented this from affecting his judgment.
A big part of him was having to control himself not to contact the Light God right away, but still he controlled himself and decided to first plan what he was going to say and what he could sacrifice to get what he wanted from this God.
He even spent another hour talking with Momo and Mika about the Light God and what they thought and heard about him in the stories they saw.
Momo even told Shoichi about Aslan, the lion who sacrificed himself for Narnia, and said that just as Aslan was considered divine and seen in different ways by many people, she also saw the Light God in the same way.
The little girl's mind was very simple, as the God of Light gave her such fun entertainment, while the light of the Light Web screen gave her such a comfortable feeling, no bad thoughts about this God passed through her mind.
Shoichi listened a lot and was very interested in Aslan that Momo told him, and after finally understanding a lot, he asked Reiko to leave with her family for the time being and said that he would borrow the ring for the time being, but assured Momo and Mika that he would return it the ring.
To make sure he made a good impression on this mysterious God, Shoichi searched the Light Web for a few more hours about knowledge about offerings and the best way to pray to the God.
Fortunately he found some books through the search tool that contained this knowledge. And the best news was that according to the book, the sacrifice didn't necessarily have to be a person, but it could be knowledge!
That was another way Apollo learned while in the University library yesterday, the Gods can let mortals make offerings of knowledge so the Gods don't have to spend God Power to learn it.
Of course, the prerequisite for this was that the believer already knew that content.
Thinking about just a single knowledge may seem little, but for a God with millions of believers, the knowledge produced by these people would be on another level.
In order to learn as much as possible, Shoichi canceled all other appointments for the day and dedicated himself to just that.
Until before dusk he was sitting on his knees in a room bathed in sunlight. In front of him, on top of a luxurious table, were several scrolls.
With a serious expression, Shoichi clasped both hands together as he prayed.
"Mighty God of Light, please enlighten my life and have mercy on me. Wash away my sins..." This prayer was greater than the small prayer needed to use Light Web for 60 minutes, while the prayer others knew lasted less than 10 seconds, this prayer by Shoichi lasted almost 2 minutes.
When he finally finished the prayer, Shoichi intended to tell his intention through thoughts.
But to his surprise, at that moment the light in the ring grew stronger, until a window appeared floating in front of him.
[Active Prayer Mode.]
[Say your prayer: ]
Seeing the big blank space, Shoichi was surprised and excited.
He was surprised that the God of Light had apparently already developed a way for mortals to get in touch with him, which meant he would likely hear what he was thinking!
This is much better than just thinking about the intention of his prayer, as it was something very vague and he wasn't sure if the God of Light would really know about it.
But now that he saw the screen floating in front of him in a concrete way, Shoichi's confidence grew and he started typing quickly.
The first thing he did was thank you for coming to the Uzumaki clan, second he thanked Momo and Mika for being okay, and finally he asked if he could get some more rings.
When Shoichi finally finished writing, he clicked on a button labeled "Submit" and confirmed.
Soon the sunlight that bathed his body grew thicker until the scrolls on top of the table started to glow before disappearing in front of Shoichi, leaving him a little amazed by this magical method.
[Your prayer has been forwarded.]
Seeing that his prayer was indeed forwarded, Shoichi was relieved.
Unfortunately he didn't know how long this would take, so for the next few minutes Shoichi was pacing back and forth while waiting for some kind of warning.
He didn't know how the God of Light would respond to him, but considering that he sent the message through the Light Web, it's likely that the God of Light would also respond to him through the Light Web.
When the sun was about to set and Shoichi was already giving up on getting the answer today, he felt the ring on his finger glowing.
Without thinking twice Shoichi opened the Light Web interface and saw that a small window appeared in front of him.
[Due to Feedback from one of the users, Light Web has been updated.
New Functions:
- Temple of Light (+)
- Divine Store (+)]
Seeing this notification, Shoichi was a bit confused, this was not what he imagined.
Intuitively he clicked on the glowing (+) symbol and saw that a more detailed explanation appeared in front of him.
After seeing the explanation, Shoichi opened the two new "applications", a word he heard Momo say a few times, and confirmed that everything written there had indeed been added to the Light Web!
This Temple of Light basically was an app where mortals could learn about the God of Light, some stories about him, learn about peace, and even learn a bunch of different prayers.
Shoichi was even shocked to discover that some prayers were in the form of poems with very interesting stories about the God of Light, so interesting that he knew that if he told these poems to other people, even those who didn't know who the God of Light is would be interested in what happens next.
While the Divine Store was even more special since it was exactly what Shoichi wanted.
He didn't want the store, he wanted the only thing that was for sale in the store, the Light Ring!

1K Power Stones = 1 Extra Chapter
Shoichi opened the Divine Store and saw the only item available for purchase.
[Light Ring.
Stock: 1
Price: $50,000]
What surprised Shoichi even more was that the Light Ring's price was much lower than he imagined!
For something as magical as the Light Ring, Shoichi already imagined that he would have to spend at least 1 million ryou, the equivalent of a reward from an S-level quest among ninjas.
The price of 50,000 ryou is far less than he had imagined, being just the average reward of a C-tier quest, something that a few families with some savings could scrape together on their own.
But soon Shoichi understood the problem, there was only 1 Light Ring in stock, that is, even if he has money, he cannot buy a ring for each Anbu ninja as he intended when he found out that it was possible to buy this ring.
Despite being a little disappointed, Shoichi was quick to buy this ring, he soon placed 50,000 ryou on top of the table where the scrolls were previously, and just like the other time, the sunlight that covered the items became more intense and made let everything disappear for a second.
Soon another glow appeared, a beautiful and delicate ring like the one he had on his finger appeared in the same spot, and the stock of Light Ring in the Divine Store changed from 1 to 0.
Shoichi quickly took the ring and experimented, all functions were working just like Momo's ring, leaving him quite satisfied.
Looking at the Divine Store again, Shoichi saw that the green button he had clicked to buy the Light Ring turned grey, and next to it was a message.
[The new shipment will arrive in: 6 days, 23 hours and 59 minutes.]
That message made Shoichi's eyes light up! Even though he only bought one Light Ring, he understood that he would only need to wait a week before he could buy another one!
Even if slowly, if he managed to buy one ring a week he would be able to gather 4 Light Rings in a month, which would help Uzushiogakure a lot in strategic terms for the invasion that would happen in a few months.
'I need to get that ring too!' Shoichi thought excitedly before asking the Anbu ninja to call Reiko.
After handing her the ring and sending compensation to little Momo, Shoichi only wore the ring for a few minutes before the battery died.
Soon he got excited thinking about exploring the Light Web tomorrow and finding as much knowledge as possible to help Uzumaki deal with the catastrophe that was to come.
Apollo had a huge smile on his face as he floated above Shoichi's house.
He had calculated the amount of Divine Power he would receive from Shoichi and found it to be 3 Points!
Added to Satoru's 1 Point and Momo's 0.5 and Mika's 0.5, Apollo was already receiving 5 Divine Power Points for every prayer they made!
If Shoichi also prays 10 times a day like the others, Apollo would have 50 Divine Power Points daily!
'With the 52 points I already had, in addition to the 3 Points I received from Shoichi in this prayer, in 7 days I will have 400 Divine Power Points, which will be enough for me to put 4 more Light Rings on sale at the Divine Store!' Apollo thought excitedly!
The more Light Rings, the more Divine Power he would receive, and with the more Divine Power, the more rings he could make, thus creating an infinitely profitable cycle for him!
The Light Temple he added to the Light Web just now was something he hadn't thought of before.
When he saw how difficult it was for Shoichi to get information about him and prayer, Apollo understood that this was very wrong.
Mortals were using the internet he made, but had such a hard time thanking him? It was as if a person ate in a restaurant and found the food delicious, so delicious that he asked to thank the chef personally, but the waiter said that the customer should find his way to the chef himself, which customer would bother to look for the chef alone?
The number 1 rule of the internet is to make life easier for the user, and this way it became much easier for mortals to know about it.
He even created some poems and adapted some prayers to tell some stories he made up "about him" so that even those who didn't use the Light Web could provide Divine Power to him in the future.
And at Divine Store.
Apollo was initially still unsure about how he would make it easier for mortals to get Light Rings, he knew he had to somehow keep the mystery and divinity about it, so he thought of the Divine Store.
He put the price of the Light Ring at the level of a C-Rank quest, which was considered expensive for an ordinary family, but not impossible to buy, just like the iPhone in his previous life.
Even though it was a very expensive cell phone, Apollo had some friends who bought the cell phone even though they only had to eat fast food for a long time while paying the cell phone installments.
In this way, the Light Ring seemed cheap to the rich, but with a price that even the poor could buy one in the family and then share.
Of course, Apollo didn't need this mortal money, he just put a monetary price so people wouldn't think it was a donation, since someone will give much more value to something so expensive, than if it was free.
Not counting the choice of Inventory and time to replenish the inventory.
That way mortals will always be able to see when he will have new Light Rings, thus being able to increase anticipation, in addition to leaving control in his hand of how many Light Rings will be sold.
Apollo even failed to add a button for people to buy more than one Light Ring at the same time and set a time of 3 seconds for someone to buy a Light Ring, so in 30 seconds a person could only buy 10 Light Rings, thus avoiding that a very rich person would buy all the Light Rings as soon as Apollo released the stock.
"My initial plan is finally complete, now I just need to help Uzumaki deal with this tragedy!" Apollo said excitedly as he thought about the future.
