Chapter 59: Help Request from Another World, Waiting Online, Quite Urgent.

Despite his relentless complaining, Xu Zhi smiled. "Though there were some deviations, things are still progressing as planned. I've managed to steer the wizarding world's development in the sandbox back onto the right track from its former crooked path."

He knew that playing it safe and discreetly was the golden rule. Only a seasoned veteran could survive the longest, especially a casual player who enjoyed farming. Monster hunting, leveling up, and the thrill of combat—those were all secondary. For these 'farming-style' players, the true joy lay in quietly developing advanced technology, climbing the tech tree, and researching things they enjoyed. After all, technology is the primary productive force.

Xu Zhi took a bite of his apple; juice dribbled out, and he frowned slightly. "But I didn't expect Cersei to leave behind such a scheme before her death, did she? Using her apprentice, Medusa, to perfect the 'Resurrection of the Dead' sorcery she left behind? Did she want her apprentice to resurrect her from the dead, to live a second life?"

Cersei truly had immense ambition! Honestly, if it weren't for Li Shengjiang appearing and forcing out her trump card in this scene, Xu Zhi would have been completely unaware of the deceased Cersei's secret plotting. He wasn't some truly omniscient and omnipotent creator; he was just a 'farmer.' Otherwise, he wouldn't have been oblivious when Gilgamesh tried to mess with him earlier.

One day in the 'field' was equivalent to a hundred years. Even if he monitored the progress daily, it would be difficult. The time acceleration inside was so rapid that everyone moved like blurs, making it impossible to see what they were doing. His power was all a pretense; in reality, he was just a rural farmer tending to his orchard and vegetable garden, chatting with the aunt next door, bragging to his cute girlfriend, and occasionally 'grazing' the sandbox world in his yard.

"As for this sorcery before me, it involves the very essence of the soul." Xu Zhi sat in his yard, contemplating for a moment, silently weighing the implications. "Actually, this wizarding world has no underworld. Gilgamesh and others with powerful souls continue to drift as hazy, conscious specters in the sandbox world after death. This is also why communication with souls is possible, though the civilization in this world is still too primitive to have fully developed knowledge in this area."

"Should I restrict this aspect of development?" Xu Zhi pondered, then decided it would be better to let it evolve naturally. After all, diversity is key to prosperity. Regardless of whether the theory could be realized, even if it could, bringing back the ancient 'Impure World Reincarnation' of the Three Witches, Gilgamesh, and other great historical heroes would add to the fun. Moreover, if this forbidden sorcery could be developed, it would be quite beneficial for Xu Zhi to master it himself once he advanced to a Level Six Epic Wizard. At the very least, if someone close to him died, he could lend a hand, couldn't he?

After finishing his apple, Xu Zhi went to eat lunch, enjoying a remarkably leisurely time. When he returned, he noticed something strange: "Hmm, Li Shengjiang, this transmigator from another world, actually came out after unifying the world? Posting on forums and bragging incessantly?"

Xu Zhi found it hard to believe. The time flow was one day for every hundred years; an hour in reality meant over four years had passed inside! How could he bear to waste time inside? Logging out of the other world just to brag to other players?

**Babylonian Kingdom, Year 412.**

Grand Alchemist Emperor Grantham ascended to power. He abolished slavery and tyranny, ruling over the three great kingdoms: the Rose Women's Kingdom on the mountain, the Babylonian Wizard Kingdom on the plains, and the Nefertis Orc Kingdom in the desert.

Alchemy began to spread widely. Terms like magic patterns, alchemy arrays, mechanical constructs, gears, wrenches, and modified creatures became common in the wizarding world.

Previously, traditional witches cultivated too slowly and were at a disadvantage compared to evil witches. However, with the advent of alchemy, traditional witches regained their strength and became mainstream. Only traditional witches possessed the stable, precise, and calm spiritual power required to become alchemists. Rose Witches, who practiced evil meditation, cultivated rapidly, but their volatile spiritual power, though suitable for combat, couldn't precisely draw alchemical patterns or create intricate alchemy arrays.

At this moment, traditional witches specializing in alchemy experienced a resurgence. They began crafting magic staffs and various magical artifacts, entering an era of alchemical explosion. Alchemical tools and weapons advanced rapidly, and alchemical airships and ships frequently appeared. Evil witches, unable to utilize alchemy, were gradually phased out.

In the same year, the Alchemist Emperor again tried to persuade Medusa to abandon her path and practice alchemy with him. Medusa refused to give up her fascination with men. Helpless, the Alchemist Emperor could only suppress Medusa, the Death Lord Emperor, beneath Gorgon Alchemy Island, beyond the Oceanus and in the Land of Night. He personally spent three years establishing a grand alchemy array, with countless slimes living on the island serving as power sources to suppress this once unparalleled Death Lord Emperor.

"I suppress her not because I don't want to kill her! Although I can defeat her with the help of 'Grantham,' I am ultimately not a true Level Seven wizard. As a Level Six wizard, I cannot completely kill her, especially since she excels in the domains of souls and death."

In the Babylonian Royal Palace, a cute slime bounced on the exquisite throne, wearing a sparkling golden crown. It said, "This is ultimately a hidden danger; we can only suppress her until she dies of old age."

At this moment, Lilith had already abdicated. Standing silently beside her lover, Garfield, she paused and said, "Your Majesty, I wish to retire with Garfield. I am over two hundred years old, and despite taking the alchemical longevity potions you developed over the years, I am approaching the end of my life."

Li Shengjiang fell silent for a moment, looking at the former King of Babylon, who was nearing death. Filled with emotion, he sighed, "If that is the case, then go... You have worked hard enough these past years. From now on, I will protect all the glory of the Babylonian Kingdom."

After Lilith left, Li Shengjiang sat on the throne in silence for a moment, then addressed his subjects below: "From today onward, I will enter seclusion for four years! I leave behind my Alchemical Fortress. You are to collectively use Cersei's developed Level Four sorcery, 'Mind Control,' to control its ten thousand slimes. They will serve as the nation's protective artifact, suppressing the entire Babylonian Kingdom."

The beautiful witch-ministers immediately replied, "Your Majesty, please enter seclusion. We will protect the kingdom!"

Li Shengjiang nodded, then hopped out of the royal palace. Behind him, sounds of surprise and adoration came from the women in wizard robes within the palace. "Wow! The King is so adorable, so cute!" "Besides us, no one knows that the true form of the legendary Great Alchemist Emperor who rules the world is actually the lowest-level magical creature: a super cute, adorable slime."

Li Shengjiang hopped along, his cowlick constantly swaying on his head, returning to his secret alchemy room. He silently gazed at the seven young witches lying in the 'bio-chambers.' "Despite all my efforts to help them, they've all reached Level Three Wizard status, with Elizabeth even reaching Level Four. They've also taken the alchemical longevity potions I researched over the years. But now, after over 120 years, they're still nearing the end of their lifespans and can only extend their lives through sleep."

Li Shengjiang's expression was complex. The lifespan of an ordinary person was between thirty and forty years. Level Three and Four witches' lifespans were merely tripled. Even the Three Witches, who were Level Six Epic Wizards back then, only lived to about 240 years before reaching the end of their lives.

"It's not just them; I'm past half my lifespan too. I'm over a hundred years old." Li Shengjiang was silent for a moment. He wasn't a Level Seven wizard; though his power reached that level, he was still technically a Level Six wizard. His lifespan wouldn't be longer than the Three Witches', roughly around 250 years.

"This is supposed to be the new beginning of my second life in another world, and I'm unwilling to die like this!" After becoming a great emperor and ruling the entire wizarding world, Li Shengjiang, like generations of great rulers before him, fell into a strong desire for eternal life. "I need to find a solution."

Li Shengjiang fell silent for a moment, then logged out. He took off his VR headset. Instantly, a strong urge to urinate surged, and his stomach rumbled. "I once heard about people at internet cafes pulling all-nighters for over twenty hours, frantically grinding games, and I never believed it. Now I do. After more than twenty hours without food, I'm so hungry, and I really need to use the restroom."

During those twenty-plus hours, he had only managed to sneak in a quick restroom break, not even daring to eat. After all, a few minutes outside was like several weeks inside. Before his great national crisis was resolved, how could he dare to log out? He feared that in a few blinks, something drastic might happen within those weeks. Now, finally invincible across the world, he could log out with peace of mind.

"Ah, that felt good! Using the restroom was truly refreshing!" Li Shengjiang emerged from the bathroom, called for a servant, and quickly had a meal prepared.

A secretary approached him. "Boss, Mr. Smith from the American power grid company wants to discuss a deal worth over a billion dollars with us... Tomorrow night, our company plans to talk with the Qiandu CEO about the AI car project. This is crucial for expanding our business and seizing new markets..."

"Get out of here! Tell a few vice presidents to handle it together for me. I'm busy right now!" Li Shengjiang cursed, leaving the secretary stunned.

Their boss, the calm and domineering CEO in his forties, a super mogul in the tech world, a legendary idol worshipped by countless people—when did he become like this?

"Hey!! Can anyone tell me what happened in just one day?"

Secretary: "????"

Li Shengjiang returned to his room, quickly ate his meal, and logged onto the game forum to post a thread. "Please help me, esteemed experts! Quickly, think of a solution! (Crying)"

"I endured for over a hundred years, developing cautiously, frantically farming, and climbing the tech tree. I finally became the Alchemist Emperor, reigning supreme and invincible in this world. But my seven little witch wives are dying of old age; now they can only be frozen in the tech bio-chambers I created... Please, esteemed experts, help me think of a solution. Waiting online, it's urgent! Thank you!"

As soon as this message appeared, the entire forum exploded.
