"Your Majesty?" Zhu Zhengwei continued walking.

"In conclusion, the Bo'er Civilization is definitely a place we shouldn't go," Li Shimin smiled as he summed up, "In my eyes, it seems like a beacon of freedom glowing in the darkness, too strange."

"Your Majesty's words are reasonable," Zhu Zhengwei said, "Our Great Tang dynasty is better off developing locally."

Originally, he had thought about checking it out and secretly causing some trouble, but with Li Shimin's analysis, Zhu Zhengwei was immediately on edge.

It felt like a trap.

Irrespective of whether it relates to my superpower or if that place is the former master's ruins, not courting death is the best choice.

The reality of the universe seems barren, yet indeed exudes a sense of strangeness.

"Next, we will use this Daisen Oni as a model of friendly foreign exchange, allowing them to trade friendly with our Great Tang, reaping various benefits... and gradually approach others,"

Li Shimin spoke, "Your task is to act as an envoy of Great Tang, to establish a Silk Road in this universe, to continuously fill our Great Tang lands with endless materials and energy, and feed it into our Primordial Chaos universe."

Zhu Zhengwei nodded, feeling like a laborer, a tireless worker.

After all, this is how the world works.

The strong rule as bosses.

The weak can only toil beneath them.

Whenever I grow strong, I will stand up again and be my own master...

But he reconsidered, "I am cut off from the main body... the mental link isn't functioning, knowing my own nature, perhaps the main body doesn't want to save me, leaving me here to work, to toil..."

Alas.

The main body is truly ruthless, even squeezing oneself.

"That's it, I shall leave now, enjoy the exotic customs here, handle some diplomacy, and talk to my daughter," Li Shimin seemed quite pleased with this diplomatic meeting.

Zhu Zhengwei watched as this Human Emperor departed, suddenly asking, "Your Majesty, with such large-scale actions of ours, gathering massive amounts of materials in... are we preparing for those existences above?"

"Hahaha, precisely so."

Emperor Tang made no effort to hide his ambition, "After all, the Celestial Court, Western Heaven, Underworld, they're all unreachable... it would be laughable not to seize this chance to amass power, even if they find out, they won't act directly against me. The Human Emperor is not someone they can depose at will."

"Your Majesty, is the strength of the heavens really that great?"

Zhu Zhengwei inquired, gathering intelligence, "The Celestial Court is merely a Celestial Dao world... Your Majesty governs countless All Heavens Worlds, holding the seals of authority over these worlds, as long as..."

"Would you fear the sheep in a pen? No matter how many sheep there are, they remain sheep, and I am merely the leader guiding their development," he chuckled lightly and vanished completely.

...

Zhu Zhengwei fell silent for a moment.

Although the upper-level map was still evolving.

It seems to have started to take shape.

Without being able to even contend with the Mortal Realm, if those Immortal Gods and Saints from above appear, it would be overwhelming!

"Damn."

Zhu Zhengwei couldn't help but curse, "No wonder the previous master of the Dream Cosmos abruptly perished... Genesis, creating a new universe, to overcome the dark remnants born with Genesis is nearly impossible."

It felt like a curse from the universe itself, wanting to create a new universe to replace me, one must endure the myriad Heart Demon Great Tribulations, and the resulting assault from the Dark Side Cosmos.

He took a deep breath and began to tour this land.

In the following time, he engaged in fortnight-long friendly visits with Daisen Oni, revealing the configuration and imagery of the "Primordial Chaos universe," to the great astonishment and growing aspirations of this civilization.

The allure was indeed immense.

A civilization restricted to its stellar territory, bored to the extent of having AI tell it jokes, is unbearably dull and tedious.

"Oh, Oni, we can finally visit Chang'an City!"

"Wonderful, Daisen! I finally don't have to peruse our 3.7 billion joke compendium anymore; that was excruciatingly boring!"

"Oni, are you denying our achievements? We must remember, our citizens are not dull. They cannot fully exhaust these books in their lifetime, happily exploring the vast seas of spirit."

...

The two toy figures were quite pleased.

Zhu Zhengwei said, "Naturally, taking you to Chang'an City means you must assist us, write to the civilizations you know... we don't want any more misunderstandings."

"Of course, we'll write the letters, hoping to have a formal meeting with our pen pals in Chang'an City someday," Daisen Oni replied in unison.

Zhu Zhengwei nodded.

Chang'an City is becoming the central hub for these real universe civilizations, allowing them to meet across great distances, a key part of Emperor Tang's plans.

After all, I can't stop the development of Great Tang, Li Shimin has already decided everything.

In the decades to follow.

Zhu Zhengwei wandered everywhere, visiting various civilizations.

"I am just laborious by nature, to meet the weak neighboring civilizations, to act as the envoy of Great Tang."

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhu Zhengwei looked at the interstellar map, marking various coordinates one by one, "However, there is one large civilization nearby, where Emperor Tang also forbids us to venture, meaning... he respects their power too?"

Zhu Zhengwei's expression grew calm, "Even without communication from the other side of me, upon releasing this information, you'll surely know what to do."

"I can't contend with Li Shimin; his mind is too formidable. So I'll find a way to deal with Sun Wukong who stole my Ginseng Fruit Tree, to dig into his background."

He called in a subordinate and commanded, "Issue this announcement externally, news of our friendly neighbor visiting the Capital City."

"Yes."

A minister left.

Soon, in Great Tang's Chang'an City, a notice was posted on a tall wall.

Below, a constant buzz of merchants and ordinary people discussing.

"Have you heard? The newly appointed Prime Minister is fully responsible for diplomatic meetings, and over the years, they established a new Silk Road!"

"Really that impressive?"

"Indeed, I've heard even the princess went on behalf of the Great Tang royal family, showing how much they value it."

"I've also heard that the emperor's most beloved princess, the innocent and lovely Princess Chang Le, fell in love at first sight with the talented Prime Minister, and they're discussing marriage."

"What a pity, the future consort as the Great Tang envoy is not appearing in Chang'an City, remaining mysterious."

...

The around murmuring grew more exaggerated.

An exceedingly handsome man slowly passed by, reading the notice from above, seeing each piece of information, his lips subtly twitching, "What nonsense, the me from the deep palace actually fell for Princess Chang Le?"
