The old man you see with your phone is highly suspicious.

He may have originally intended to return to his own world to work on the steam engine, but he's already brought it out.

Just as Xue was speechless, the old Demon Emperor learned of the two people's identities and directly assigned them the position of production team leader, allowing them to join the team.

To be honest, seeing them shed their wings and change out of their armor, starting to wear "Production Team Leader" badges on their sleeves and beginning to systematically learn how to build production and how to unleash the productive forces of the entire nation, Xue Law suddenly felt a strange sense of amusement.

That's settled then. The old Demon Emperor said he wanted to clean up the dogs in that world, and before Lan Lin'er and the others finished their training, he wanted to unleash his bloodlust and thoroughly eliminate those nobles in that world.

Xue Dinglu shrugged. After all, the old Demon Emperor was a god-level being in that world, so killing nobles was a piece of cake for him, especially since the nobles were still suffering from the effects of the Ten Calamities.

Similarly, if the old Demon Emperor wanted, he could mold that world into any shape he desired. After all, when those so-called nobles encountered the old Demon Emperor, a man with lofty ideals who was not greedy for profit and only wanted to test whether his political theories were correct, their former methods of uniting the masses became completely useless.

When powerful figures truly want to change the world, those seemingly tough nobles immediately become as weak as cowards.

Just like during Roosevelt's era, American capitalists collected over 90% of the taxes, but no one dared to rebel against Roosevelt. Instead, they were as docile as sheep. The old devil's personal strength was more than a hundred million times stronger than Roosevelt's.

He planned to establish a policy framework there, and when Lan Lin'er and the others returned, they could simply follow this framework. Once the world was on track under this framework, he would let humanity develop on its own and not interfere with the lower realm.

After this arrangement was completed, the angels began to join the ranks of mass production in this world, while the Old Demon Emperor and Xue Law returned to the Holy Kingdom.

Upon arriving in the capital, the old Demon Emperor's nose twitched, and he revealed a look of disgust: "I smell a nauseating aristocratic stench in the air. There must be quite a few dog breeds here worthy of being hung on streetlights."

Xue's Law: "..."

In short, the city gates were sealed off. Throwing the old Demon Emperor in would give the nobles an 11th calamity. He and the old Demon King were considered the original members of "Love Nobles TV." He believed that the old Demon Emperor would not let any scoundrel go, nor would he torture any good person.

As for those who can't think of any other way to survive besides procreation, perhaps the old Demon Emperor's theory of "purity" is more suitable.

Meanwhile, Xue Dinglu needed to find a way to connect with the young players; they had more important things to do.

Those were the coordinates obtained from the Mind Flayer.

They naturally wouldn't let the Mind Destroyer get away, and soon, Xue Dinglu contacted the young general through the message board, but he felt that he had come at the wrong time.

The child was lying next to a large group of orcs, eating various fruits while embracing a fish-headed man.

This scene was far beyond Xue's comprehension, even bordering on the terrifying.

Sensing Xue's presence, the young general launched himself into the air and said, "I'll get busy now. I'll take you home in two days to meet my other wives and concubines."

Xue Dinglu, who was preparing to come over from a distance, fell silent again upon hearing this. He thought it best not to go over there; he felt that if he did, he might have to dig a three-bedroom apartment out of the ground.

So the young man and Xue Law quickly got together. Xue Law had already told the story of the Mind Demon before, and this time he added more information.

The young man nodded and then sighed, "Your methods are really a bit unorthodox. We once tried to capture mind-stealers, but their souls were destroyed the moment they were captured, leaving nothing behind. This caused our plans to fail several times and eventually came to nothing."

Xue's Law can only say that he was lucky. This time it really was luck. The Mind Flayer was captured by the Innovation Century by pure coincidence. It was originally meant to become the foundation of Eden in the Innovation Century, and its soul was cut apart by Xue's Law at the fastest speed just before it was about to self-destruct.

Coincidence accounts for more than 9% of the effect.

After finishing their business, Xue Lude looked at the young man with over ninety wives with an expression of utter disdain. He remembered that this kid had only just come of age, and he was already like this…

"Are you really going to bring them back to your world?" Xue asked tentatively.

Those beastmen... they looked so monstrous and grotesque. If they were in Journey to the West, they would look like little demons who hadn't yet successfully transformed. It was simply unbearable to look at. Xue Dinglu's worldview seemed to have been shattered.

From Xue's perspective, this level of transformation into a half-orc is less aesthetically pleasing than that of a pure beast.

"Yes, I've already promised them a bright future, and I can't go back on my word. Besides, most of these orcs are still beyond the reach of my potions. Once I return to the Star Squadron and exchange my merits for more human-transforming potions, the problem will naturally be solved. By then, they might just be humans with only a few orcish features," the young general said.

"The Star Squad really researches this kind of drug?" Xue Luding was also shocked. In his imagination, the Star Squad was more like a mercenary company. Although most of their mercenaries were charitable, they should still be mainly violent.

"Is it strange? It's the normal state of the universe for all races to gravitate towards the appearance of the King. Even beast-type magical beasts, as long as they have intelligence, consider the appearance of the King to be 'beautiful.' So there will always be a market and demand for this kind of medicine under any circumstances." The young general said nonchalantly, "They look a bit ugly now, but it doesn't matter. I don't mind. Maybe they can become great beauties after we have enough transformation medicine."

Xue's Law: "..."

"Then I wish you good luck..." Xue Dinglu said.

"Thank you for your kind words," the young man replied to Xue Dinglu's words, then thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want a wife?"

Xue's Law: "?"

What the hell? How did I get here? They're still pressuring me to get married! They're still pressuring me to get married!

"Don't get the wrong idea. My eldest daughter is about to start school, and it's time to find her a good husband. When I mentioned this in the interstellar squadron, many people looked down on me, and then the boss forbade me from talking about these things. I just don't understand, is it so hard to understand that one's own daughter needs to choose a good husband?" the young general asked in confusion.

Xue's Law: "..."

No way, isn't your world way ahead of its time?

With the kids about to start school, it's time to start thinking about finding a partner. Seriously, is there really nothing wrong with this bizarre system created by the odd male-to-female ratio in your world?

"So, you want to..." Xue asked in silence.

Chapter 290 The World of the Mind Flayer

“Aren’t you still single? I think you’re a pretty good guy. How about I see if any of my daughters would be willing to marry you? I also have some friends who are worried sick about their daughters’ futures. I’ll go ask them too. I should be able to find you a few dozen. Don’t think it’s too few. We can see how it goes.” The young man calmly said what Xue Dinglu found terrifying.

Xue's Law: "..."

Forget it, your world is too terrifying, I really can't talk to you, and you always talk about dozens of people at a time. Xue Dinglu felt his head was starting to spin, and he quickly said, "Forget it, I'm going to be a partner of justice, feelings are in the way."

The young man looked at Xue Luding with a look of disbelief. In their world's value system, men are born to bear the heavy responsibility of procreation, so they attach great importance to this aspect. If a man has too few children, he will be criticized, let alone someone like Xue Luding with this mentality.

In their world, this would be considered a heinous crime, a serious offender who would be imprisoned and forced to have 100 children before being released.

In short, the young man talked about this for a long time, but Xue Dinglu didn't listen to a word and instead found it difficult to concentrate.

Their world is truly terrifying. The bizarre culture and civilization born from that extreme gender ratio instilled fear in Xue, a liberal.

The young man also spoke earnestly, saying that in his personal opinion, it was a heinous crime for a man to go out and make his own way in the world without leaving any descendants. If he died out there without any children, he would be letting down his ancestors.

Xue finally understood why his boss forbade him from discussing such matters within the interstellar column; it was torture for everyone.

In short, amidst their bickering, the two of them stepped into the coordinates of the Mind Flayer.

Although the two were having a nonsensical discussion about marriage and being single, they were actually well-prepared and even had emergency communication devices ready to be used at any time.

The plan was that if they were in the Mind Flayer's world, the two would start an investigation as quickly as possible while avoiding being controlled by the Mind Flayer. However, if they were in front of the Apostle, they would immediately make contact without saying a word. Then, Xue Luding would throw the Divine Tree to buy time, while Xiao Jiang would directly teleport to wait for reinforcements to arrive.

However, the moment they arrived in this world, the two who were originally bickering suddenly became tense, but the scene in front of them made them pause.

This is a bustling modern world, with people coming and going on the streets, just like in the 20th century on Earth. Old-fashioned motorcycles travel on the highways, and the streets are lined with strangely shaped buildings, each one as bizarre as a honeycomb.

Most importantly, everyone seemed to be living normal lives. Xue's Law saw students, office workers, laborers, and street vendors, all going about their lives normally.

Xue Dinglu and the young man were both stunned, and they looked at each other with confused expressions.

If they hadn't known that the coordinates were found on the Mind Flayer, they would have suspected that they had traveled to some planet that had just entered the industrial age.

However, after their initial moment of surprise, both Xue Dinglu and the young man noticed something amiss.

"Did you sense it?" Xue asked.

"Yes, I sensed it." The young general pointed to the passing crowd and said, "Why do all the people here have the same feeling as the Mind Flayer, but they are all normal people?"

This is what the two of them couldn't understand.

……

After making inquiries, the two found out where they were.

North Peak City, 58th Street, and the place they had just transmigrated to was the home that the Mind Flayer had mentioned.

Xue Dinglu and the young general both fell silent. This truly was the world of the Mind Flayers, but it was completely different from what they had imagined, almost like...

Everyone in this world has been replaced by mind flayers, to the point that the mind flayers have forgotten their original identities and have begun to follow the life trajectory of their original owners bit by bit.

After a long time, he completely forgot his true nature as a mind-stealer.

This was the conjecture the two came up with. After confirming the location, the two immediately broke into the Mind Flayer's home in Building 12, where the Mind Flayer had stolen the Angel's authority.

This is a very large house. Xue Dinglu looked around and saw that something resembling an old-fashioned fax machine was still in use. Traces of the owner's life could also be found here, as well as a large number of manuscripts written by that mind-stealer.

Xue Dinglu picked up the manuscript and looked at it. It was a story about a boy born with eight fingers who became a god through playing the zither in a world of swords and magic. It was handwritten, and the ink didn't seem to be completely dry yet.

"Hey, this Mind Flayer seems to be a writer too?" Xue Dinglu counted the manuscript and estimated the corresponding word count, then said casually, "38 words, that's a lot. It even looks like it's been submitted and is already being serialized in a magazine."

This situation stunned the young man even more. He kept pulling at his hair and said, "Mind Flayers can write long stories? Aren't they just a race that parasitizes other people's bodies and subtly distorts them? Let me see his novels."

The young general took the manuscript. He seemed to operate it a few times on one of his virtual terminals, quickly deciphering the text of this world and beginning to read it.

The more the young man read, the more silent he became. After flipping through dozens of pages, he returned the manuscript to Xue Dinglu and said, "There's a problem. This novel actually has logic!"

"If a novel has no logic, all that's left is history. But why is it strange if it has logic?"

"This is a novel written by Mind Flayer? Why do you think the logic is so strange? They shouldn't have such rigorous logic and creativity. Also, I read the novel. As popular literature, it's not a big problem, just a bit too vulgar. It explicitly describes a lot of activities with wives and girlfriends, but that's not a major issue." The young man kept pulling at his hair, looking like he really had a headache.

"Why is it that the Mind Flayer was able to write the entire story logically? It shouldn't be like this..."

He even looked around the room and added, "What's even stranger is that there are signs of life everywhere here. You can even see the water; there's no dust in it, proving that the Mind Flayer just finished pouring the water and was about to fax the next part of the manuscript to the editor when it suddenly disappeared in less than half a day."

Xue Dinglu looked around at everything and nodded.

The Mind Flayer has been in the Theocracy for a thousand years. While the time of day and year may vary slightly on different planets, the macroscopic time is consistent, meaning this place should look like a thousand years in the future.

But everything in the room indicated that the Mind Flayer had only been gone a short while ago.

"This is so strange, so unreasonable, so utterly unreasonable! What have we overlooked?" The young man was so anxious that he kept pulling at his hair. Xue Dinglu quickly stopped him from doing this bad habit, afraid that he would pull himself bald here.

When he goes home, his hundreds of wives will probably cause chaos when they see him bald.

Xue Dinglu slowly unfolded the book "Innovation Century" in his hand.

Now, this travelogue, which he originally compiled, has become a treasure.

【Innovation Century (C+ - S+ level): Through the compilation of a 7-day travelogue, the primordial ritual is realized. Through the suffering and torment of people in the travelogue, the primordial destruction giant Goliath can be invoked. More functions await development, and the travelogue can continue to be written in the original future.

Note: Possessing this Noble Phantasm eliminates the need for a prerequisite ritual; a proper Genesis can be unleashed simply by obtaining the consent of the World Consciousness.

No ritual is required; simply connecting with the world consciousness is enough to unleash a proper Genesis, instead of the previously most commonly used "pseudo-Genesis."

Furthermore, given the right conditions, Xue's Law can summon even more human evil beasts.

The Destroyer is only one of the seven evil beasts of humankind. There are six other evil beasts of humankind that represent “compassion,” “lust,” “corruption,” “peace,” “slaughter,” and “primordial.”

Every human-born evil beast is powerful and capable of astonishing everyone with their strength and concepts. In terms of status, they are comparable to the primordial Zeus and Typhon. Although the conditions for their birth are extremely demanding, Xue's Law has seen many worlds of dog breeds and will always happen to be able to summon the most suitable human-born evil beast in the corresponding world.

Of course, the human beasts of evil can only rival the primordial Zeus; the creator Zeus is already far beyond that level and is not considered.

Just like the Destroyer, which could annihilate both the God King and the Divine Tree on the God King's home turf, the power of this Noble Phantasm may be even more exaggerated than imagined, and it is also more in line with Xue's Law.

In addition to completing the proper creation of the world and exchanging human evil, this Noble Phantasm has many strange little functions, such as automatic defense and automatic recording of special and unusual creatures from travelogues.

It's like it's been recorded with Mind Flayer.

The pages of "The Innovator Era" fluttered, and the figure of the Mind Flayer appeared on them.
