Nurturing Humanity

He also knew that being vulgar meant he could have absolute authority.

Only those experienced people could live the longest, not to mention that he was a leisure player who was addicted to farming.

Fighting monsters to level up and having fun with battles were all fake. Quietly developing dark technology, climbing the technology tree and studying the things one liked was what these kinds of players who farmed found fun.

Technology was the primary productive force.

Xu Zhi took a bite of the apple as the juice flowed out. However, he slightly frowned.

“I never expected that Circe would leave behind such an arrangement before she died. She used her own apprentice Medusa to help her perfect the Sorcery of ‘Resurrection of the Dead’ that she had left behind. She wanted her apprentice to bring her back from the dead and live a second life?”

How ambitious Circe had been!

To be honest, if he had not witnessed this scene, where Li Shengjiang happened to appear and had forced Medusa to use her ultimate move, Xu Zhi would never have found out that the dead Circe had set up such a plan.

He was not really an all-powerful creator. Instead, he was just a ‘farmer’. Otherwise, when Gilgamesh had wanted to mess with him before, he wouldn’t have not known about it.

A day in the field was equivalent to a hundred years.

Even if he were to pay attention to the progress inside every day, it would still be very difficult. After all, the passage of time inside was so fast that his entire body had turned into an afterimage, moving around crazily, making it impossible to see what he was doing.

His strength was also faked. He was in fact just a farmer from the countryside who grew vegetables in the orchard garden, while chatted with the aunt who lived next door, bragging about the lovely little girlfriend, and occasionally browsing the sandbox world in the yard.

“As for the Sorcery in front of me, it involves the soul.”

Xu Zhi sat in the yard and pondered for a while, weighing on what he had said silently.

“In fact, there is no underworld in this sorcery world. People like Gilgamesh have powerful souls, so after their death, their souls will wander around in the sandbox world and become ghosts with a hazy consciousness. This is also the reason why they can communicate with souls. However, the civilization of this world is so simple that their knowledge on this aspect has not fully developed yet.”

“Should I restrict the development of this area?” After thinking about it, Xu Zhi felt that it was better to let it develop.

After all, diversity was the key to prosperity.

It did not matter whether the idea could be realized or not. Even if it could come true, the resurrection of the three witches and Gilgamesh, the great heroes of the past, could add some fun.

Moreover, if this prohibited Sorcery could be developed, it would be pretty good for Xu Zhi to master it after advancing to a level six legendary sorcerer.

At the very least, if the people around him were to die, he could at help, right?

Xu Zhi finished eating the apple and went to have lunch. He was very laid back.

When he returned, he had found something strange. “Huh? Li Shengjiang, the traveler of this other world, has actually come out after ruling the world? He is posting on the forum, madly showing off and bragging?”

Xu Zhi found this a little difficult to believe.

The rate at which time flowed was 100 years in there for a day spent here. Spending one hour in the real world was equivalent to more than four years in the other world!

He was actually willing to waste his time? He went offline from the other world to brag to the players?

…

Year 412 of Babylon Kingdom.

Grantham, the Alchemy Lord, reigned over the world.

He had abolished slavery and despotism, and ruled over the three kingdoms, the Rose Women Kingdom on the mountains, the Babylon Sorcerer Kingdom on the plains, and the Nephthys Orc Kingdom in the desert.

Alchemy began to become popular.

Magic patterns, alchemy formations, mechanical structures, gears, wrenches and modified creatures were words that began to appear frequently in the sorcerer’s world.

In the past, the speed of the cultivation of traditional witches were too slow. It was a lot slower than the evil witches and so they were weaker. However, with the emergence of alchemy, the traditional witches once again became strong and a part of the majority.

This was because only the traditional witches had a stable, exquisite, and peaceful psychic force. Only they could become an alchemist.

The Rose witches who cultivated evil meditation were extremely fast. However, their violent psychic force was suitable for combat, and could not accurately render alchemy and create a precise alchemy formation.

At this moment, the traditional witches of alchemy had welcomed a new life. They began to render magic weapons and canes, and a variety of sorcery weapons. They entered the Age when alchemy had suddenly become popular. All kinds of alchemy tools and weapons were changing with each passing day, as alchemy airships and alchemy ships constantly appeared.

The evil witches were gradually disappearing because they could not use alchemy.

In the same year, the Alchemy Lord once again tried to persuade Medusa to give up the path she was going down and cultivate alchemy with him.

Medusa refused to give up getting handsome men.

Feeling helpless, the Alchemy Lord could only suppress Medusa, the Great Lord of Death, under the Gorgon Alchemy Island, which was the land of night located on the other side of Oceanus.

He had personally spent three years setting up an alchemy formation. Countless Slimes lived on the island as a source of power to suppress this once invincible Great Lord of Death.

“I have suppressed her, not because I don’t want to kill her! Although I can defeat her with the help of ‘Grantham’, however I am not a true level six or level seven sorcerer after all. Not to mention that she is good at playing with souls and the realm of death.”

In the Palace of Babylon, sitting on the exquisite throne, a lovely Slime bounced up and down. It wore a bright golden crown and said, “After all, this is a hidden danger. We can only suppress her until she dies of old age.”

At this moment, Lilith had already given up the throne, as she silently stood on the side with her lover Garfield. Then, she said, “King, I’m going to retire with Garfield. I’m more than 200 years old already. Even though all these years, I have been taking the alchemy elixirs for longevity developed by you, I am still going to die of old age.”

Li Shengjiang was silent for a moment, as he looked at the former king of Babylon, who was about to die. He sighed with emotion and said, “In that case, you can go… Throughout these years, you have done enough. I will guard everything from now on, including the glory of Babylon Kingdom.”

After Lilith left, Li Shengjiang was silent again. He sat on the throne, looked at the subjects below and said, “From today onwards, I will be behind closed-door cultivation for four years! I leave my alchemy fortress behind. The level four Sorcery ‘Psychic Manipulation’ that was created by Circe, can manipulate 10,000 Slimes as a weapon for the country to suppress the entire Babylon Kingdom.”

A group of beautiful Witch Ministers hurriedly said, “King, please go ahead with your closed-door cultivation. We will protect the kingdom!”

Li Shengjiang nodded, then bounced up and down, and left the palace.

Behind him, inside the palace, the surprised and worshiping voices of a bunch of women in sorcerer’s clothes sounded.

“Wow! The king is so adorable, so cute!”

“No one but us knows that the real body of the legendary Great Alchemy Lord, who had suppressed the world, is actually the lowest magical creature, a super cute Slime.”

...

Li Shengjiang kept bouncing up and down, as the ahoge on the top of his head continued to shake. He returned to the secret alchemy room, and silently looked at the seven little witches who were lying inside the ‘biology chamber’.

“Despite all their help, and reaching level three sorcerer, with Elizabeth reaching level four, and had all used the alchemy elixirs of longevity that I have developed over the years, they are still nearing the end of their lives, as they are now more than 120 years old. They can only extend their life with a deep sleep.”

Li Shengjiang had a complicated expression.

The life expectancy of a normal person was between 30 and 40 years.

The life expectancy of level three and level four witches was triple the amount of a normal person.

Even during the time of the three witches, who were level six legendary sorcerers, they had lived for more than 240 years before reaching the end of their lives.

“It’s not just them. I have also lived over half of my life expectancy and am more than 100 years old.” Li Shengjiang was silent for a moment. He was not a level seven sorcerer. Although his strength had reached level seven, he was still at the level of a level six sorcerer.

He would not live longer than the three witches, and would only live to around 250 years old.

“The new beginning of my second life in another world has only just started. I am unwilling to die just like this.” After ruling the entire sorcerer’s world, Li Shengjiang, the Great Lord, was like the Great Lords of the previous generations, as he now had a strong desire for immortality.

“I must think of something.”

Li Shengjiang was silent for a moment before he went offline.

He took off his VR headset and suddenly, he felt like urinating. His stomach also growled.

“In the past, I heard that a crazy person had played video games at the internet café for more than 20 hours straight. I didn’t believe it at that time, but now I do, as I haven’t eaten for more than 20 hours. I’m so hungry, and I need to go to the toilet…”

In the last 20 hours or so, he had secretly went to a toilet only once, and had not dared to eat anything.

After all, spending a few minutes in the real world was equivalent to a few weeks inside. How could he dare to go offline when the great disaster of national subjugation had not yet been solved? He was afraid that during the few minute outside, something would happen for the few weeks inside.

Now that he was finally invincible did he dare to go offline.

“Ah, it’s so good to be able to go to the bathroom! So refreshing!” Li Shengjiang came out from the toilet, then called the servant to quickly prepare a meal.

There was a secretary next to him who stepped forward.

“Boss, recently Mister Smith of the American Electrical Network Corporation wants to talk to us about a business deal that’s worth more than one billion... Tomorrow night, our company’s plan is to discuss the car project of artificial intelligence with Boss Qian Du. It will be about the opening of our business and seizing of the new market…”

“Leave! Get a few vice presidents to go and talk for me. I’m not free right now!”

Li Shengjiang scolded, as he left the dumbfounded secretary behind.

Their boss was a calm middle-aged overbearing president in his forties, the super boss of the technology world, and the legendary idol worshiped by countless people. When had he become like this?

“Hey! Who can tell me what happened in just one day?” The secretary thought and was unable to speak.

Li Shengjiang returned to his room, then had a quick meal while logging on to the forum of the game and made a post.

“Guys, please help. Quickly help me think of something! (crying face)”

“After living for more than 100 years, farming madly and climbing the technology tree, I finally became the Alchemy Lord and reigned over the world. I am invincible in the world, but my seven little witch wives are dying of old age. Right now, they can only be frozen in the technological biology chamber made by me… Guys, please help me think of something, I will wait online. It’s very urgent! Thank you!”

As soon as this was posted, it caused a stir on the entire forum.
