Start from the God of Death and break through the world.

Chapter 943 Return, Settlement

Aizen was adept at handling such matters. His ideas were simple, and he didn't consider any unrealistic schemes to turn the former serfs around and give them a chance to sing.

Because it's a long process, and the previous battles have already shown that you can't awaken the will of a numb person.

This is related to the long-term social environment and the education level of people at the bottom. Even if some people from the bottom are really elected as leaders, it will only make things worse.

Therefore, out of both human sentiment and rationale, Aizen still allowed the six great families who initially followed him in the uprising to become the leaders of the human city-states in this world.

However, he devised a new administrative system for them, with the six major families forming a parliament. Any decisions should be made jointly through consultation, and any future changes to the parliamentary members would require a public vote.

There's a lot of room for maneuver in this matter. Although citizens have the right to vote on the surface, Aizen and the six major families are well aware that those in power would never share the spoils with the ignorant masses.

However, we must take a long-term view. Given the current state of humanity, it is unrealistic to expect ordinary people to become leaders through elections, because they lack culture and education.

However, with the development policy set by Aizen, after a long period of time, a senator from a commoner background will eventually emerge, and then things will become more just.

Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Right now, the most important thing is to get the world moving again before considering what comes next.

Inzen demanded that the six major families not monopolize industries related to people's livelihoods, and that they control the prices of essential living materials such as salt to ensure the basic quality of life for humanity.

After the death of the loving mother, the humans of this world were able to start farming. With the help of the company's high-tech planting technology, they were able to catalyze high-yield crops before the remaining stock of strange food was consumed, providing food for all of humanity.

That's the good thing about the high-tech world: as long as you can farm, they'll always find a way to give you high yields.

Aizen entrusted the six major families with stabilizing the order of human society. After the transition, the core of human life, centered around the six city-states, would gradually stabilize. Changes in human rights and social systems would be left for future generations to consider.

And frankly, whether humanity will eventually revert to a distorted social system is something that Aizen and Riku can't control at all.

They can only manage for a short time, not forever. If humanity's ultimate fate is indeed self-destruction, then it can only be said that they have only themselves to blame.

The six major families were quite compliant with Aizen's policies. On the one hand, they were unable to resist, in terms of both righteousness and strength, the King of Humanity, Riku, who had defeated the Mother of Compassion and liberated humanity, and therefore dared not disobey Aizen, who was acting as Riku's representative.

On the other hand, they are all highly educated family elites, at least in terms of intelligence. They went to great lengths to rebel because they were unwilling to be subservient to the supernatural. Now that humanity has finally regained its dignity, they do not want to go back to being the supernatural's dogs.

Having grasped the underlying logic of the anomalies' birth, the members of the six families, at least in their generation, will dedicate themselves wholeheartedly to the cause of human happiness.

Only when human happiness levels rise and society is stable can the occurrence of bizarre phenomena be reduced.

Lu Li did indeed kill the loving mother, but he could not destroy this life system. From the day the singularity occurred, the strange was destined to be a life form that coexisted with humans.

Whether the number of strange creatures on the continent of Compassion will decrease or gradually increase again in the future depends on the outcome of the governance by the six major families.

Because of his fear of the supernatural, Aizen even felt that with the current governance plans of the six major families, the world might become a utopian society in the future, heading towards another extreme.

To strengthen his control, Aizen began to further sanctify Lu Li in the minds of his followers, referencing the previous King of Men, and sowing the seeds of doubt in people through deception.

The administrators believed that Lu Li was an immortal being who had now relinquished his position as the Human King and returned to the highest realm. They believed that if they did not perform well, he would return to punish them.

In a sense, this isn't exactly a lie, because based on Aizen's understanding of Riku, Riku really is capable of doing such a thing, and even if they conquer this world, it's not like they can't come back.

Today, Aizen has completed the final planning for the human city-states. The six major families have established a constitution, declaring the tribes as independent settlements. Humans from the city-states are not allowed to enter the tribes' settlements without a visa.

Afterwards, Aizen contacted Lu Li through the D.C. channel and arrived at this mining area.

This was also Chu Chu's last mining site. Because she had 'rented' a large number of mining robots produced by the company, and because Chu Chu was very familiar with the properties of various minerals, her mining efficiency was actually quite high.

In just a few days, Chu Chu had emptied several major mines on this continent, filling his pockets with countless minerals. In addition, they also took away most of the supplies outside the tribe, so Chu Chu's mineral collection is now unprecedentedly rich.

After Chu Chu extracted the last piece of ore, she wiped away imaginary sweat from her forehead with satisfaction. "What a thoroughly enjoyable mining experience!"

"I'm glad you like it. I'm still waiting for you to help me repair my equipment."

Lu Li said with a smile.

In the final battle, he was at a disadvantage and was almost beaten naked, so his equipment was naturally damaged in many ways.

All of them need to be repaired by Chu Chu before they can have their full effect, and the same applies to the new set that Lu Li obtained.

He looked down at the suit he had just taken off; it was tattered and worn, showing no trace of its former immortal power.

This Godslayer Set, consisting of leg guards, gauntlets, and a belt, has fulfilled its mission. As a special attack-type equipment, it offers maximum resistance to attacks from monsters, and in terms of output, it can greatly enhance its damage output against monsters.

At the last moment, his stats were 2 points lower than the Mother's, but the result was a crushing defeat, and this set of equipment played a crucial role in that.

Of course, even without this set, it wouldn't have been difficult for Lu Li to kill Ci Mu in his state at the time. Ultimately, attribute values ​​are king. As long as his values ​​are high enough, his base damage multiplier is already high enough, so it's normal for him to kill enemies with higher attributes than himself.

The greatest benefit of this equipment was that it helped him withstand many of his mother's deadly attacks when he was at his lowest point, which allowed him to survive until the divine restriction was lifted.

Speaking of the Divine Restriction, Lu Li has gained some experience with this skill through continuous use. He feels that if he wants to use it again in the future, he may not need such a strong degree of randomness.

"That's it, that's it. I've had enough of this awful place. I miss my big bed."

Chu Chu stretched and rubbed her slender neck, clearly realizing that typing was tiring work.

She glanced at the Godslayer Set that Lu Li had laid out on the ground. "Don't bring that thing anymore. It's already so badly damaged. Instead of repairing it, we'd rather make you a new one. Besides, it's not like every world is like this."

"Is it true?"

Lu Li's eyes lit up.

"I've already taken so much minerals, I can't just leave them for nothing. This time, crafting equipment will be free. When we get back, I'll make you a more adaptable set of equipment."

Chu Chu said that this was the most cost-effective approach.

After all, the Godslayer Set was a set of equipment she created specifically for this world, not produced in the space, so Lu Li would have to pay for authentication before he could take it with him when he returned.

But she has a lot of minerals in her pocket. When she gets back, the space will naturally give her 1%, just like when Xia Ren collected ingredients. Even if it's only 1%, it's still a huge asset.

Once we return to the space, we can use these minerals to craft equipment and give it to Lu Li, completely free of charge.

"Then I'll thank you in advance."

Lu Li said with a smile. Chu Chu's cheeks flushed slightly, and she turned her head away, "It's not that I wanted to make it for you, it's just to thank you for coming to this world and saving me."

"Yeah, I know."

Lu Li nodded with a smile on his face, which made Chu Chu feel even more embarrassed and annoyed.

"Gentlemen, now that everything is done, shouldn't we leave?"

Before Chuchu could react, Aizen spoke up, bringing the conversation back on track.

After Lu Li killed his mother, they were granted the right to return. Lu Li could return at any time to settle accounts, but the maximum time he could stay in this world was no more than three months.

They may seem to have a considerable amount of free time, but in reality, the End Space will remind them to return as soon as possible every day.

"Okay, let's go back then. Chuchu, I'll come find you in the commercial street after I finish settling the accounts. I still have some ideas about the new equipment."

Lu Li said with a smile.

Chu Chu rolled her eyes at Lu Li, annoyed. "You'd better come later. I'm not a superhero like you. I need to catch up on my sleep when I get back."

She hadn't slept for almost a month while forging the Godslayer Set, and these past few days, in order to catch up on the spatial competition progress, she had been mining non-stop, pushing her mental limits.

At this moment, she was a little envious of Xia Ren, because after Xia Ren obtained the food cells with Lu Li, she ate and drank to her heart's content and improved her attributes a lot, while she only had the attributes of the fourth-level beginner.

Sometimes she really missed the time when she first met Lu Li, when her attributes were even stronger than Lu Li's.

"That was my oversight. When we get back, I'll bring back a portion of Gourmet Cells from the Gourmet World. You can go to the shrimp and strengthen them so that you won't be powerless when we mine together next time."

Lu Li said with a smile, and then, before Chu Chu could speak, he silently wished to return.

Immediately afterwards, he and Aizen were guided by a white light.

Before Chu Chu could finish speaking, she stomped her foot in anger, then a smile bloomed on her face, like a hundred flowers opening. "You really don't know how to talk..."

She also chose to return, leaving only the robots, bewildered and unsure of what to do next, and the Godslayer Set placed on the boulder in this empty mine.

When humans discovered this place centuries later, it reignited the craze for the legend of the human king.

…………

After a burst of white light disappeared, Lu Li returned to his room.

[No obvious injuries detected on the Pioneer's body. Proceed to settlement?]

Lu Li habitually took out a bottle of chilled, sweet cola from the refrigerator and took a big gulp. Back in the world, he had already finished all the drinks that Xia Ren had brought him in order to aid his improvement and maintain a refreshed state of mind.

"Meow~"

After being released by Lu Li, Ah Huo barked happily and rushed towards its automatic feeder bowl. This was what it missed most after leaving the space.

"Eat less. The fat on your body is a sign of overnutrition. If you absorb and convert the energy, you should be able to become even stronger."

Lu Li lightly kicked Ah Huo's fat butt, and a wave of flesh immediately rose from the panda's body.

"Meow meow!"

Ah Huo nodded repeatedly, but didn't stop talking, which left Lu Li feeling quite helpless.

Lu Li walked to the side and sat down on the sofa. "Settle the bill."
