After some trouble, Zhu Zhengwei and the others were taken to a fairy tale-like city, full of colorful cartoon hues.

Behind Zhu Zhengwei was a group of envoys from the Great Tang, including Emperor Tang's favorite, Princess Chang Le, a very beautiful and lovely lady, curiously observing her surroundings.

Princess Chang Le, full of curiosity, smiled and said, "Prime Minister, is this the Outer Chaos Realm of the Primordial Chaos universe, each one a mysterious extraterrestrial civilization?"

"Indeed."

Zhu Zhengwei's mouth twitched slightly.

He finally understood why Emperor Tang casually let him leave Chang'an City to become the envoy leader and randomly engage with the Outer Cosmos.

Because...

He was still in Chang'an City.

Yes, the palace of the Chang'an Envoy Team they had arrived at was part of Chang'an City!

He was now staying on a small fragment of Chang'an City, connecting with these real civilizations outside the Milky Way.

Zhu Zhengwei was speechless in his heart:

"This is still Chang'an City, that thick-browed Emperor Tang must be watching me from the shadows.... He can restart my time at any moment and return to the past."

"He might have even restarted several times already, who knows..."

Sending Princess Chang Le here was probably not just to have a royal envoy show enough respect.

He probably also wanted to use her beauty to seduce me...

"Too bad, a mere beauty thinks she can conquer me?"

Zhu Zhengwei chuckled, still speculating on the other side with the most malicious of intents.

"Who knows, Emperor Tang may see my all-around talent and still want to try and see if he can inherit it, to steal my Creator God's bloodline into the royal family... Disgusting!"

As they kept approaching.

Squid-shaped extraterrestrial individuals were curiously observing them, screaming, "Oh, it's war, we're doomed!"

"Don't be afraid, around this Star River, we're the strongest! The technology from thirty thousand years ago is enough to handle everything~ This time is no different."

The street was bustling.

Zhu Zhengwei appeared calm, speculating in his heart as they were soon led to an area.

"Welcome, guests from afar."

"Our civilization is called the Daisen Oni."

"My name is Daisen, and he is Oni! We are the two kings of the entire civilization!"

...

Two toy-like individuals were trembling.

Zhu Zhengwei hesitated for a few seconds.

Well-traveled, he knew what it meant for artificial intelligence to be the so-called "kings."

This signified that the whole civilization had entered an era of "indulgence."

They were too lazy to work hard anymore, establishing "intelligent AI" that absolutely obeyed them to manage all operations of civilization...

Interstellar mining, cosmic transportation, material excavation, planting and cultivation, work services...

Everything in this civilized society was handled by these two "artificial intelligences."

And civilizations like theirs would exhibit two characteristics.

First, their artificial intelligence had reached an absolute height.

Having skipped the era of "intelligence machine revolution," where robots rebel, ensuring "intelligence" absolute obedience, they could enter this fully intelligent era.

Second, they had voluntarily halted the development of science and technology, refraining from cultivating scientists, opting instead for a happy education system.

Because even the most advanced AI is not biological and lacks innovation and research abilities, letting robots manage the operation of civilization also meant... their civilization had long since stagnated.

This approach to "happy education," speculated as such, could also be seen here. Such an important diplomatic matter was left to two artificial intelligences, signifying there was no "civilization leader" anymore, probably their race had no hierarchy but consisted solely of commoners, achieving a certain form of absolute Utopian Paradise across society.

Zhu Zhengwei looked outside the window, squid-shaped aliens coming and going on the streets, "A certain perfect paradise-like civilization indeed worthy of being called beautiful."

...

There were probably many such types of civilizations.

Maybe they had listened to the "Bo'er Civilization Cosmic Declaration," realizing even such ultimate civilizations couldn't escape the penalty of "cosmic speed," the inescapable grave, so they chose indulgence.

Zhu Zhengwei glanced at them and asked, "Is this the only mode in your program logic?"

"Ah, we can only be like this!"

Daisen and Oni exclaimed, making a comical fighting pose with their hands crossed, loudly declaring:

"But we're not afraid of you! Though this is our predetermined character, we have long prepared all the combat programs.... ready for full-scale assault!"

Zhu Zhengwei covered his forehead, looking speechless.

With this comical stance, Zhu Zhengwei couldn't possibly associate them with "threats."

Although he also knew their words must be absolutely true.

They were on high alert to the extreme; "humor" and "comicality" were just their surface emotional settings.

"Everyone, these are our offered foods."

Daisen donned a very comical expression, "Please enjoy."

Zhu Zhengwei and his group paid it no mind, not fearing poison, drinking and tasting directly.

Within Chang'an City, no one could kill them...

Moreover, these two "kings" had no idea they were already within Chang'an City, their lives already in someone's hands.

"We have come from the Great Tang's Chang'an City, a completely different universe space...." Zhu Zhengwei stated their intentions, eating a spoonful of the sticky food, he said, "We want to establish some trade channels with you, to become a part of our Great Tang's Silk Road."

"Silk Road?"

Oni froze, "Wait, are you really from the Outer Cosmos? You also want trade, but according to cosmic rules, a civilization cannot..."

"Hahaha, trade is completely normal." Zhu Zhengwei laughed, "We..."

As he was about to speak, Emperor Tang's voice came to his ear.

[Kill them]

Zhu Zhengwei helplessly exploded in an instant and killed.

Two cold flashes crossed, exploding the two cartoon robots.

Boom!

The next second, he returned to the past.

"Hahaha, trade is completely normal." Zhu Zhengwei laughed, "We..."

[Their external communication device, kill them, and the whole civilization will enter a state of war. Under the chair in the south, shoot and destroy the chair first, then kill them.]

Boom!

Following the order, Zhu Zhengwei acted directly.

The next second, back to the past.

Zhu Zhengwei again looked smilingly at Daisen and Oni.

[I have gone back to the past 371 times, had you disable 37 connection devices, isolated the outside, killed them, and conducted hundreds of tests to crack secrets to read the mechanical intelligence information.... finally almost understanding the stored data of these two robots.]

Zhu Zhengwei silently thought this was impressive.

Working so many times that he couldn't even remember, this was the most absurd part.

Though completely unaware of what had happened, it seemed like these two went through hundreds of formal tortures of the Great Tang.

Is this what great power diplomacy is like?

Disregarding life in the Primordial Chaos Universe?

I've seen it.

"Hahaha, trade is completely normal."

Zhu Zhengwei sat in a chair, laughing, "Our Great Tang in our universe, is a Celestial Dynasty, always peacefully friendly, respecting neighboring nations."

Time finally began to move again, and he finally got to finish his sentence.

"That's how it is."

Daisen and Oni looked startled, suddenly somewhat believing, "It is indeed so, if it's war, you would have attacked directly. It seems you indeed have some sincerity, a friendly civilization."
