The battle against the Polk civilization soon came to an end.

The King of Polk successfully surrendered.

Although he lacked his own Primordial Chaos Rule Core, possessing only basic whiteboard rule attributes, he was still a powerhouse on par with the Emperor Tang.

Even if the Emperor Tang himself arrived, defeating the opponent under the same restrictions in this whiteboard universe without "Rule Equipment" would require a significant amount of effort.

But such an existence eventually surrendered.

One can imagine how delighted the Emperor Tang was, for if he provided such a talent with a complete 100% Celestial Dao Core, his combat power would soar instantly.

However, this joy had nothing to do with Zhu Zhengwei.

Zhu Zhengwei felt he could finally breathe a sigh of relief,

"The business trip is over. I can finally go back and stay... The lands I cursed as the Bic Great Demon King, they will handle them on their own... And in the future, when attacking the reality universes of the Outer Chaos Realm, I probably won't need to intervene, right?"

After all, the Emperor Tang acquired a strong figure of the Reality System Rules.

In the future, just send him for the battles, and if he's too weak to conquer it alone... then hand him my group battle curse technique, let him go act as a curse master that annoys others.

"Finally relaxed."

Zhu Zhengwei lay in his Prime Minister's Mansion, sitting on a lawn, leisurely enjoying snacks and tea, "The reality universe has indeed become entirely a barren land... I still need to focus my attention on the Primordial Chaos universe."

As the Prime Minister, he was very relaxed, looking around at Chang'an City with fresh eyes.

...

On the other side.

For Zhenyuanzi, things were also wrapping up.

Their two armies have lost...

Naturally, there is no need to keep entangling, creating a mess, which would be beneath Zhenyuanzi's dignity.

After all, in the grand scheme outside, this was just an involuntary act of Zhenyuanzi... The outcome didn't matter much, mainly it was to train Sun Wukong. If he appeared too serious, it would cause suspicion instead.

"So we just leave like that?" The Xiliang Queen was a little unwilling.

"It should be this way."

Zhenyuanzi calmly explained, "The Western Land countries originally had sparse populations and scarce military forces, relying on the cooperation of top strong practitioners to safeguard their nations... Even if you conquer the lands, you don't have enough population to rule over them; leaving like nomadic Xiliang people after cutting across the land is the best choice."

The Xiliang Queen could only nod.

After all, she also knew that this time, their Women's Country of Xiliang profited greatly!

Basically, having done almost no work, they were all scavenging resources in the rear while Sun Wukong was handling the forefront alone, which was indeed a huge gain for them!

She truly shouldn't be that greedy.

Look at that Sun Wukong, bearing burdens unfit for his age on their behalf.

Being blasted by the Great Tang's Prime Minister, when picked up, his eyes were blackened, visage pallid, even the monkey's fur lost its gloss, probably forming a lifelong psychological shadow.

"Next, let's return to the Primordial Chaos universe first..." Zhu Zhengwei softly spoke, looking at them calmly, "You can tally up your gains."

"Yes."

The Xiliang Queen and Lady Bai Gu had already started jointly ruling the Women's Country of Xiliang.

Looking at the back of this senior, they felt admiration, realizing the necessity to learn well.

And looking at Sun Wukong's miserable state, they silently established a consensus: to never go against Zhenyuanzi; see that Sun Wukong, after smashing the Ginseng Fruit Tree... his horrible state made them shiver in fear.

...

At Wuzhuang Temple.

Zhu Zhengwei successfully returned, mentally tallying up the outcomes of this endeavor.

It seems he suffered a significant loss, not gaining anything.

Simply aiding in Sun Wukong's training, casting Wuzhuang Temple into a plight with "Universe in the Sleeve," exiling it to some world, enduring a share of suffering...

But in actuality?

He gained massively!

Profited hugely!

"First, the miner issue...."

Zhu Zhengwei's lips curved into a nonchalant smile, "Even if I took over that massive mechanical civilization, I wouldn't have the energy to govern it... better let the Emperor Tang govern it, while I secretly transform them into miners."

And he had already discovered it.

Neither the Emperor Tang, Sun Wukong, nor perhaps even the saints in the sky, can sense the miners...

Indeed.

Perhaps due to the distinction of "Dimensional Creatures," even those saints might know about the structure of the "Dream Cosmos," with beings as labor continuously excavating, just like countless serfs building the Great Wall.... But they couldn't perceive who was providing the Dream World's energy.

So, he could develop miners right under their noses!

For every civilization conquered by their Primordial Chaos universe in reality, he secretly transforms them into miners!

After all, even if the miners are discovered, they can't trace it back to him...

"If that's the case, then I've realized the horror of the 'Dream Cosmos.'"

Zhu Zhengwei took a deep breath.

"Back during the Bo'er Civilization times, they continually conquered one reality civilization after another, devouring their materials and wealth, and transforming all their living beings into miners!"

Simply exploiting every bit of value.

The civilization's materials swallowed by the Dream Cosmos.

The civilization's humans treated as slaves to mine the Cosmos.

From this, Zhu Zhengwei completely confirmed the universe's ruthless law: mutual exploitation, engulfing, each civilization in the cosmos is a giant capitalist...

"In modern society, it is called...capital, essentially the law of the jungle, in the beastly jungles, looting, fighting, exploiting...is the only law for survival." Zhu Zhengwei sighed, "But, I seem to be quite talented in this, full marks in jungle law... I am someone who, when ruthless, even exploits myself!"

No matter what, he still appropriated that civilization as his own.

The Emperor Tang thought he got rich, when in fact, he had no idea he was working for him, managing and developing that land, merely a "miner lord" for him, developing mines as slaves.

This is a wonderful thing too.

The Emperor Tang thought he won.

He also thought he won.

This is a win-win.

"Moreover, I obtained the most important thing... a huge opportunity that will allow me to soar." Zhu Zhengwei's lips slightly raised, taking out a lump of blood cell dropped by the Ghost Witch Doctor during battle, which he secretly picked up after the battle.

He even tricked the Emperor Tang into awakening more of his memories.

"Absorbing the accumulated knowledge and wisdom of another me, my combat power will soar to the current level, enough to crush Sun Wukong." His eyes sparked a gleam of brilliance, beginning to absorb the most major gain of this endeavor.
