Zhu Zhengwei's identity still does not know the secret of Chang'an City, because even among the Capital Officials, it requires a high status to know the truth.
After all.
As long as it's not mentioned, who would feel any anomaly in time?
In everyone's eyes, Chang'an City is nothing but an ordinary prosperous world, where days flow continuously without any exception.
Tap tap tap.
"Before I figure out the big secret of Chang'an City, I have to keep hiding." Zhu Zhengwei walked on the streets of Chang'an, the bustling roads were full of noise.
"Freshly baked pancakes!"
"Osmanthus wine! Secret family recipe, rumored to be from the leftover branches of the Laurel Tree..."
"Chang'e Mooncake, four taels of silver each, ten taels for three pieces."
"World specialty from the Women's Country of Xiliang, Mother and Child River Water Youth version, specially cures infertility..."
"Anomalous fire from the Flame Mountain, extracted from a vast sea of fire formed by seventeen solar worlds, the Fallen Heart Flame, essential for practicing Taishang Laojun's alchemy system of anomalous fire!"
...
He looked at this mythical golden age of the Great Tang, countless exotic merchants from alien races were coming and going, trading on the streets.
Various civilizations, Western, Eastern, modern, magic skill, science fiction, countless civilizations from all directions of heaven converge here, forming the center of the world.
The Capital City is indeed very strange.
Although entering the city gates requires heavy taxes, those who come to the Capital City are basically either rich or noble, it is also a city with a constant flow of people, with people coming and going, showing no exception...
No matter how you look at it, it's a city that can be entered and exited freely.
But Zhu Zhengwei knows clearly that this place is terrifying.
As if there exists a supreme being, an omnipotent emperor, manipulating this land.
Zhu Zhengwei walked around curiously, "As a Ghost Witch Doctor of the Prime Minister rank, living in the depths of the palace, you can't even see the prosperous streets of Chang'an City, can you?"
"Poor kid, probably seeing his eyes go blurry from looking at all the dossiers and materials every day."
Now I truly see the prosperity of Chang'an City, being a small official here, enjoying the freedom of a "Capital City household registration" like an ordinary person.
He walked along the streets, stretching casually,
"Obviously, my predecessor was discovered not long after entering here... So, he has no way to contact us, but now I can still contact the outside world... which means I am very safe!"
After all, Chang'an City does have an unknown force that isolates all external signals.
However, I am free and not unable to leave the city gates of Chang'an. Once outside, the signal usually can be contacted again, just a bit troublesome.
Soon, Zhu Zhengwei stopped in front of a small alley of a compound.
A small advertisement was posted at the corner of the wall.
"High remuneration for children wanted, Xiliang Women's Country runaway girl, youthful age of 136 years, charming and energetic, seeking high remuneration for children to inherit the enormous family business, fulfilling my mother's dream because she dislikes Mother and Child River Water...."
Zhu Zhengwei was stunned for a few seconds, this mining dream reality seemed somewhat outrageous, pointing to the ad on the wall: fake?
The attendant beside him understood and said, "This is true, the Sovereign of Xiliang Women's Country is tyrannical, it's one of the few foreign nations that can threaten our Great Tang, forcing their world where women cannot intermarry with men, but some women seek true love... However, ordinary people cannot match."
"Because the women who can escape from the Women's Country of Xiliang to seek true love are not typical characters... Furthermore, the queen of Xiliang has been hunting these people, they post notices in the Capital City also because they seek high-quality men, they yearn for true love..."
"Have you seen those Youth versions of Mother and Child River Water? It's diluted river water, the Women's Country of Xiliang and our Great Tang are not friendly, their products are brought by those defecting women."
Zhu Zhengwei became interested in the gossip, very pleased.
A proper matchmaking advertisement indeed.
It seems that even with high remuneration for children, Great Tang still retains a simple and honest folk custom.
He continued to observe and found that the Great Tang before him indeed bore some resemblance to the historical Great Tang, with various exotic men and women, and aliens with blond hair and blue eyes.
The life Zhu Zhengwei has spent in Chang'an City during this period has been quite leisurely.
Because he knows that his own efforts are useless.
The Great Tang must strive to attack the Chaos Outer Realm for it to work.... that is, the Prime Minister inside must work hard; all I have to do is lie back and wait outside.
Just wait for him to raise the flag, and I'll fish behind him.
"However, I do have a question, maintaining a specialty and personality, how come I haven't been discovered in Chang'an City?"
He continued with his daily routine.
Every day, Zhu Zhengwei works, following the secret instructions of the Ghost Witch Doctor from before, for both work and life.
Soon, decades passed again.
During these years, the Spirit Realm has also become a subsidiary institution of Chang'an City and conducted several currency pilot issuances, which were well received!
Even some small nations outside the Great Tang recognize the value of Fish Coins and are willing to trade with them, after all, Fish Coins themselves are Dharma Artifacts storing energy, indispensable for supplementing energy in battle.
Thus, the promotion of Fish Coins began.
However, due to their nature, Fish Coins ultimately cannot be mass-produced.
Thus, various death row inmates, and even all kinds of criminals, were secretly dealt with... the mint also was tinged with a shadow, forming a place like Death Row.
In such an atmosphere, their mint also rose with the tide, and the Tower of the Gods in the Spirit Realm became an indispensable place in the Great Tang.
Sixty years later.
"Your Majesty, summon everyone..."
Zhu Zhengwei was finally summoned and became a Capital Official who could pass the test, signing a special soul agreement, and learned the truth about "Chang'an City."
And this allowed him to finally relax completely.
"Finally endured to victory!"
"This time, I finally advanced cautiously and methodically, with an ordinary and moderate qualification, slowly climbing up."
His brows eased open.
Compared to the Ghost Witch Doctor who immediately became Prime Minister, what lies before me is at normal speed!
Ordinary stealthy infiltration is a good thing.
With a slight smile on his lips, he walked out of Chang'an City, in the open where signals weren't blocked, secretly signaled his main body, transmitting the secret of Chang'an City.
"The world rule of Chang'an City is world time reversal."
"According to my conjecture, it is somewhat like quantum restructuring, backtracking through a time-space wormhole."
"In short, it rewinds all particles and souls within the world of Chang'an City back to a certain past time.... Chang'an City is a royal city living in the crevice of time."
"Well then, the problem of 'specialization' is indeed a way to avoid 'Chang'an City's' anomaly tests."
"I don't perceive anything now, but presumably, in the timeline, I am unaware that Emperor Tang secretly changed countless jobs for me, inducing all sorts of job transfers.... but each version of me in time remembers the cryptic instructions, that I am a hard worker, skilled in Spirit Coin research.... he transferred me to other positions, found I had no other talent, and did not notice anything unusual."
Zhu Zhengwei smiled faintly.
Knowing the truth makes it easy to avoid.
After all, the Ghost Witch Doctor didn't know the bottom line on the first attempt.
In the eyes of the Ghost Witch Doctor.
After the imperial examination, I was assigned to the Chariot and Horse Institute, secretly keeping a middle-ground level, not drawing attention...
After the imperial examination, I entered the mint, secretly keeping a middle-ground level...
Already exposed my details in other timelines unbeknownst to me.
"Time, such an outrageous and imperceptible thing..." Zhu Zhengwei smiled faintly, "Looks like, I've uncovered the details of Chang'an City, and the developments over these years are about complete..."
He walked on the land of the Great Tang, "However, I hear the Great Tang is about to embark on an expedition to the Primordial Chaos universe beyond, into the Chaos World!"
