Jiang Li didn’t end up changing his face after all.

“My name is Du Ming. Which of the Hydrogen, Helium, Lithium, Beryllium, Boron five galaxies are you from, and what’s it like out there now?

“I’m not from any galaxy. I’m from the Nine Provinces World. I just stumbled upon your Holosimulator from the Goule Civilization Feitian Company and tried it out. Just registered an account.”

“Hahaha, calling the extraterritorial Heavenly Demons dogs, you really have a sense of humor!” The handsome uncle Du Ming laughed heartily, assuming Jiang Li was joking.

“Isn’t my prefix too long?” Even though he chose the name himself, Jiang Li felt it was awkward.

“How about calling you Dog Bro?” “…Forget my online name, call me Jiang Li.”

“Brother Jiang. ”

Jiang Li never hid his origins, but few people believed him.

Without demonstrating his abilities at the Mahayana Realm, no one would believe Jiang Li’s words.

However, this great world evidently lacks a sufficient simulation, there is no cultivation, no Spiritual Energy, and no insight into Heavenly Dao, only the familiar physical laws.

This shows that the Goule Civilization hasn’t encountered Spiritual Energy and cultivation, focusing solely on technological development.

“Uncle Du, am I imagining it or does it seem like there are very few people in this great world? Aren’t these houses inhabited?”

Jiang Li and Du Ming were walking on the street, which was deserted, with only a few passersby. It was eerily quiet.

However, there were high-rise buildings everywhere.

If there were no people, why would they build such tall buildings? That didn’t make sense.

“The houses are inhabited, but not all the time. They all live in their own little worlds.”

“Although the great world is free and open, you can do lots of things, there are moral and legal restrictions. For instance, you can’t be a ruler, take several wives, etc. You can’t do illegal things. So everyone prefers to stay in their own world.’

“Usually, people who come to the great world are bored in their own world, so thev come here to chat with others, ask how they built their worlds, seek inspiration and then go back to build their own little world.”

Jiang Li understood. The Great Zhou Dynasty had done related studies on law-abiding issues. All beings have absolute freedom and dislike restraint and rules.

However, for survival and the sake of a conceptual “contract” with the state, they were forced to comply with the rule of order, limiting part of their freedom, thereby maximizing the protection of life rights, survival rights and a series of rights.

If there were no rules to protect them, high-level cultivators could freely manipulate the life and death of low-level cultivators, even wipe out cities and nations, turning the lives of sentient beings into stepping stones on the path to becoming immortals.

In Zhou, low-level cultivators and mortals didn’t need to constantly worry about their lives.

Zhou called this theory “social contract theory.”

“Actually, the great world is quite good, too.” Du Ming took Jiang Li to an ice cream shop, ordered a large cup of ice cream, and asked if Jiang Li wanted one. After thinking about it, Jiang Li ordered a cone.

“How much is it? I’ll owe you.” Jiang Li didn’t want to be indebted to anyone about money.

Who knew that Du Ming would laugh heartily: “Brother Jiang, in the great world there is no concept of ‘money’. You don’t have to pay for anything you buy, you can eat any food you want, drive any car, live in any house. It’s much better than the real world.”

With a wave of his hand at the roadside, Du Ming made a car appear out of nowhere. Digital symbols covered it like a tide, constructing the car’s shell and interior. An extremely valuable red convertible appeared in front of the two, and the whole process didn’t take more than two seconds.

“If it wasn’t for urban planning, even houses could appear at will.” Uncle Du took Jiang Li out of the city. As he drove, he sighed and even started to gesticulate when he became excited. Luckily, the car could be auto-piloted, so there was no risk of a car accident.

“I have to say, this Feitian Company is quite capable, at least at doing humane things. Before this Holosimulator came out, I thought they were just all about forcing people to work themselves to death.”

“Did the government not intervene?”

Uncle Du looked at Jiang Li with a puzzled gaze: “Isn’t the Feitian Company the government, or rather the government is a product supported by the Feitian Company. Has the status of Feitian Company decreased now?”

Jiang Li couldn’t answer this question.

“Hey, we’re all here in the virtual world, what’s the point of talking about these things?” Du Ming quickly brushed this matter aside. What happened in the real world was meaningless to him.

How could the real world be any better than the great world, where everything was free, and the small world, where he could rule without restriction?

“Is there a place you like? Here, you can freely build a house.” Du Ming brought Jiang Li to the suburbs. The greenery here was lush and there were various wild animals darting out of the bushes from time to time.

Some people choose to build their villas here, giving it the feel of being in an ancient noble house nestled in the mountains.

But there were no people in these villas, everyone was in their own little world.

Jiang Li shook his head, politely refusing Du Ming’s proposal.

“Brother Jiang, you just arrived, have you built your own little world yet?”

“I haven’t decided what my world will look like yet.”

“Want to visit my little world?”

“Sure.”

A screen appeared in front of Jiang Li which read, “Player Du Ming invites you to enter his world, will you enter?”

Jiang Li chose to enter.

A light gate suddenly appeared in front of the car.

The world transformed, the scenery changed, and they arrived in a small world that was completely different from the great world.

This was a primitive world, resembling the medieval period in the west from his previous life.

A shadow flew by overhead, and looking up, Jiang Li saw a Western winged dragon flying across the sky, completely different from the dragons of Nine Provinces.

Du Ming and Jiang Li had transformed into armored adventurers, bearing swords and shields, and their car turned into majestic horses.

“You’ve probably read fantasy novels with elements like heroes who save the world, Demon Kings who destroy the world, long-lived elves, dragon-slaying warriors, etc. All of those exist here.”

“The position I gave myself is a hero summoned from another world by a goddess. What profession do you want? How about the sage?”

“Sage sounds good.”

The weapon in Jiang Li’s hand transformed into the Book of Sages. His personal information screen also showed that he was proficient in all genres of magic.

“So, what do we do now, defeat the Demon King?”

Du Ming maintained his middle-aged appearance: “The Demon King has already been defeated by me. Now, I’m a retired hero. Come, let me take you home and meet my wives.”

As a hero, Du Ming can also use spells. He used a space transfer spell to go home.

“Ah Ming, you’re back.” Different types of beautiful women came running over as soon as they saw Du Ming, dressed scantily, clear indications that they weren’t wearing proper clothes.

“This is Risdel, my childhood sweetheart, an original member of the hero squad. Her position is warrior.” Risdel’s armor barely covered anything, her charms subtly concealed but visible, especially when she bowed to Jiang Li, it was quite obvious.

No need to ask, it was obvious that this was Du Ming’s taste.

“This is Clare, a nun from the Church of the Goddess, also a member of the hero squad.”

“This is Princess Fia from the kingdom, even though we had some misunderstandings at first, they’ve all been resolved. She helped me a lot during the battle against the Demon King.”

“I-I didn’t help you, I did it for the sake of the kingdom.”

“This is Demon King Visnina. After I defeated her and explained the situation to her, she agreed to halt the invasion of the kingdom.”

“This is Goddess Anna, who came down from the Divine Realm and is willing to serve me.”

Goddess Anna had a sacred expression on her face that made people feel like they shouldn’t desecrate her. However, the scanty underwear she wore didn’t match her expression at all.

A nun and a goddess are your wives? Jiang Li thought that Du Ming knew how to play..
