What a sincere ghost.

Zhu Zhengwei chuckled, enjoying the conversation with the two kings.

The two kings were unaware that in this meeting room, they had experienced hundreds of flamboyant deaths... only to return to the timeline where they hadn't died.

After all, they had always been part of the physical rule-based civilization of the real universe, completely unaware that the wondrous space-time rules of "Chang'an City of the Great Tang" could briefly project into reality.

They had no defenses.

"However, as a prisoner of the Great Tang, a relentless worker, I have no right to speak of these two; everyone suffers from it!"

"This Great Tang is indeed terrifying, their diplomatic methods are so novel."

Zhu Zhengwei thought to himself, "It seems this isn't the first time. The envoys of the Great Tang are just a fragment of Chang'an City's world, secretly ambushing other foreign territories in the Mortal Realm, torturing and interrogating hundreds of times... and then taking the opportunity to understand the core secrets of the other civilization."

However, he knew nothing of these future events...

He was merely drinking tea normally with them.

Zhu Zhengwei thought deeply, feeling extreme terror.

It seemed that he too had once received similar treatment as these two kings, being tested in various ways and then the timeline reset...

"This is a gift from our Great Tang."

Zhu Zhengwei took out some Fish Coins, "Contained within are the souls of serious criminals, imprisoned inside, with rather decent spiritual energy."

"Energy based on soul consciousness wavelengths?"

Daisen was astonished and continued researching, "Honestly, we are a civilization focused on intelligent machines, having not delved much into this aspect of civilization... it's wonderful to receive such gifts."

"As long as you like it, we hope to establish diplomatic relations with you," Zhu Zhengwei said, "You can transport some energy and material ores, and we can trade some goods."

"Sure, we can start trading a batch now," Oni said, "The energy you require, is it atomic energy? Do you need any minerals? You can provide us with a list."

"That would be perfect," Zhu Zhengwei said.

According to Emperor Tang's feedback, a substantial amount of real matter and energy could help transform the land of their "Primordial Chaos Universe" into an actual physical universe... After all, the Primordial Chaos Universe is essentially a spiritual, virtual cosmos.

The flowers, plants, trees, and even stars within are, in fact, just virtual energy...

From this perspective, Emperor Tang had already gained a real understanding of the reality and Primordial Chaos Universe.

Li Shimin had already realized:

He was living in a half-completed universe.

Like an NPC in a virtual game, aware of being a creature in a computer, he longed to become real and then eradicate the real-life outside the game.

In fact, over the years, he had grown to admire Li Shimin.

Truly the historical emperor in people's minds, ambitious, yet able to endure, and with terrifyingly formidable intelligence... Now, he is still being toyed around by him, reduced to his puppet.

He must realize...

Li Shimin is smarter.

Smarter than even the Hexagon Warriors, who have been comprehensively endowed with intelligence.

If every genius has their own specialty, Laozi's specialty being in the domain of Yin and Yang research, then, the specialty of the Human Emperor, Li Shimin, is... wisdom!

As a "Celestial Dao Level" all-round genius, he is slightly inferior to these single-specialty geniuses at the "Celestial Dao Level".

He is a great deal smarter, yet he still let Zhu Zhengwei be his Prime Minister, to give counsel, which shows what kind of person Li Shimin is, and he was still probing him...

In any case, Zhu Zhengwei found it difficult to grasp the thoughts of this genius.

However, his astonishing, terrifying intelligence and deductive ability were indeed quite frightening... having deduced that he was a creature within a virtual universe, and that he was a Virtual Person.

"In a way, I might've gone too far... losing control of my created Four-dimensional Cosmos... allowing the civilizations within to emerge in the real universe, causing all sorts of trouble!"

"I've opened a Pandora's Box, unleashing a horde of devilish civilizations!"

But it doesn't matter if they come out.

Let these Dark Side civilizations fight against the outside civilizations, wearing each other out while I reap the benefits!

Zhu Zhengwei took a deep breath.

The capabilities of the Dream High-dimensional Cosmos seemed more terrifying and incredible.

"Thus, let's proceed with the first batch of trades." Daisen was delighted, "These Fish Coins are indeed a new direction we've never seen, your currency, I presume."

"Yes, it's the universal currency of our Great Tang, and we use it to exchange with other civilizations as well..." Zhu Zhengwei said.

Daisen and Oni exchanged glances and said, "This is barely a part of what's called the Silk Road, as there are other civilizations like ours trading with you?"

"Naturally," Zhu Zhengwei had a gentle expression, "If the trade relations become close enough, there's even the possibility to invite your civilization's envoys to visit our Great Tang."

"Is that so?"

Daisen and Oni exchanged glances.

After a quick exchange, Zhu Zhengwei and the others were arranged accommodations and could explore freely.

"Princess, shall we go play?" The Minotaur was excited.

"Sure."

And Princess Chang Le and the others cheerfully went outside to have fun.

Zhu Zhengwei watched them for a moment and couldn't help but chuckle; the Minotaur could find new friends anywhere, a trait likely due to the innate kindness of the clumsy Minotaur.

"Are you dissatisfied with my daughter? Why don't you accompany them on a walk?" Li Shimin huffed coldly, playing the role of an old father, "My precious child can't even catch your attention?"

"You simply don't understand my intentions!"

"I sent you out for diplomatic purposes, as an envoy for the Great Tang, not only to experience exotic customs and have fun, but so you could take my daughter on a nice walk."

"Ahem, Your Majesty, what shall we do next?"

Zhu Zhengwei asked quietly.

Having heard about Li Shimin's affection for Princess Chang Le, the first daughter of Empress Changsun and his beloved, he wondered if this was indeed the Li Shimin he imagined.

"I've already figured out that this civilization has been stagnant for tens of thousands of years. The reason why their two 'kings' are so comedic is that the creatures of this civilization enjoy a humorous atmosphere..."

Emperor Tang spoke disdainfully about such a decadent civilization in his language, "Over the years, this civilization has allowed their intelligent machines' supercomputer to evolve countless jokes, comedies, and comedy novels to enrich their Spiritual World...."

Zhu Zhengwei listened to Emperor Tang's briefing.

This civilization was so dull that they had even begun instructing their AI to study jokes, entertaining them, transforming their artificial intelligence into that form...

"Life is quite monotonous,"

Zhu Zhengwei said, "The creatures of this civilization love humor, and it's quite normal."

"Without a purpose, with a low cosmic ceiling, they end up being bored, too comfortable, trapped in a well, finding ways to entertain themselves,"

Li Shimin saw it clearly and laughed, "Without dreams and aspirations, repeating the same days for hundreds of years would make anyone weary... But if there are dreams and desires, the entire world is infinitely vast, and even tens of thousands of years pass with unwavering determination."
