NOVEL WEB Chapter 163 Simulation: Su Jie's Realizations
```
He carefully reviewed the norms and regulations, Su Jie contemplated—
Ming Lun wanted to encompass Primordial Star!
It wasn't just about exploiting the resources above, what was more important was the desire to integrate the natives, to form a cohesive whole!
"Ming Lun's ideal can be discerned from this,"
Su Jie could glimpse only a fraction of the whole picture but was already full of admiration for Ming Lun, even feeling an impulse to join their cause.
Taiyi, the Savior from Suffering, provides relief to the suffering and distressed.
Bodhisattva Guanyin also rescues the suffering and distressed.
These are indeed grand vows!
The suffering in the world is endless and insurmountable, yet the immortals and Buddha wish to offer help.
Just like Ming Lun, despite the vastness of the universe and the constant filth and conflicts within humanity itself, let alone other races, Ming Lun is still willing to take on the task.
Knowing it cannot be done and yet attempting it is wisdom!
Suddenly, Su Jie seemed to realize something and murmured to himself, "The superior man, when he hears the Way, exerts himself to embody it; the average man, when he hears the Way, attempts to follow it but may fail; the inferior man laughs at the Way, for without laughing, he cannot understand it."
Ming Lun's actions, setting aside the loftiest ideals, just based on the industries in reality, were mostly built on thin profits and practical benefits, allowing the masses to grow together.
Amidst the praise and glorification of Ming Lun, many unknowingly sneered at Ming Lun's naivety in their hearts.
They could be earning much more, yet they insisted on playing the good guy.
Foolish!
It was only because Ming Lun's influence was so great that no one dared to mock them openly.
Furthermore, there were rumors about Ming Lun's principal and vice-principal possessing unpredictable abilities to sense the heavens and earth—if spoken aloud, they could potentially sense it.
"I want to be a superior man."
Su Jie's gaze was resolute.
Having glimpsed a speck of the "Way," he naturally strived to embody it!
After entering the Primordial Star, Su Jie first examined his own body, which was identical to his real-world body, and felt an invisible connection to the Taixu Illusory Realm.
A mere thought was enough to leave this place and return to the Taixu Illusory Realm and then, through the transfer station, back to his real body.
Then, he began to survey his surroundings.
He stood within a circle made of stacked stones, its ground uneven, surrounded by a large group of primitive men and women with bronze or dark complexions.
Clothed in animal hides, some individuals wore nothing at all, completely bare.
Undoubtedly, these were the indigenous people of Primordial Star.
This planet was very primitive.
Yet, Su Jie could feel that the air here was extremely fresh and likely contained an abundance of Spiritual Energy.
However, he could only sense this with a more active mind.
Spiritual Energy exists within Two-Dimensional Space; to harness it, one must reach the Embryonic Breathing Realm, or else they can only passively receive its nourishment, which explains why the vitality levels of native beings on this world generally hover around 0.8 or 0.9.
"Divine Envoy!"
The primitives called out and knelt to the ground, burying their heads and not daring to look up.
Su Jie was unperturbed that he could understand their speech.
This body was evolved through the Mental Realm via the Taixu Illusory Realm, essentially allowing one to connect heart-to-heart with others.
Arriving on this real planet, even without a common language, he could comprehend others' intentions, and moreover, convey his own thoughts to them with ease.
This was a capability every player arriving on Primordial Star possessed.
Hence, these primitive tribes revered the "Divine Envoys" who could speak within their minds, perhaps because the Taixu Illusory Realm had communicated such possibilities to the natives of this planet even before the players arrived.
Regrettably, due to the extreme primitiveness here, these natives, with their primitive worship, couldn't grasp the specific implications and took it as a divine oracle that there would be Divine Envoys coming to lead them to growth.
"Rise," Su Jie said, uncomfortable with the primitives' act of kneeling, but he refrained from imposing Earth's standards on them, knowing that rules must be followed based on context.
The primitive tribe he descended upon numbered just over thirty people, of whom only ten were fit for work, the rest were women, children, and the elderly, with only one being the exception.
This was the tribe's wizard.
The other elders, upon reaching a certain age, would willingly leave the tribe and live out in the wild on their own.
Su Jie could understand this.
In such a primitive time where productivity was minimal, the old, weak, sick, and disabled were a burden to the tribe.
As for the tribe's wizard...
Su Jie discovered they possessed rudimentary hypnotic abilities, capable of ensnaring these average primitives in illusions.
Of course, it was only basic deception.
The accumulated experience over generations was the wizard's precious wisdom, even though this wisdom was nothing noteworthy to Su Jie, who had access to all kinds of modern knowledge.
Yet, it was most suitable for the current primitive era.
"Greetings, Divine Envoy!"
The tribe's wizard was the first to stand, bowing respectfully to Su Jie.
"What is your name?" Su Jie inquired.
"Respected Divine Envoy, I am the wizard of the Xuan Tribe, named Wu Xuan..."
Through Wu Xuan's introduction, Su Jie learned about the general situation of the Xuan Tribe.
```
The tribe was small, with just over thirty members who lived in nearby caves. The spot where Su Jie stood was their place of worship. Unfortunately, they had never witnessed any divine signs until today, when Su Jie descended upon them.
The tribe's way of life revolved around hunting, gathering wild fruits, and digging up wild vegetables.
Indeed, those activities were sufficient for a group of just over thirty people to survive. However, if the population grew, relying solely on hunting, gathering wild fruits, and digging up wild vegetables would not be enough to sustain them.
As a "Divine Envoy," Su Jie was actually quite free and not obliged to stay with this tribe.
Therefore, Wu Xuan was anxious.
It's because the young and strong hunters of the tribe had returned from their expeditions and told him that other small tribes had also received Divine Envoys, but they usually left.
He feared the "Divine Envoy" in front of him would leave as well.
If the Divine Envoy left, it would signify that the gods had abandoned them. The small tribes that had seen their Divine Envoys depart fell into a state of melancholy for a while before they managed to pick up their spirits again.
Su Jie looked at the wrinkled, matted-haired, and eager-eyed Wu Xuan in front of him and sighed.
The joys and sorrows of the primitives seemed simple.
Thus, Su Jie did not leave the tribe. Instead, he took on the role of "Divine Envoy" and began helping the people of the Xuan Tribe to develop. The first thing he did was teach them how to weave grass ropes and make baskets.
The people of the Xuan Tribe offered up the flesh and blood of their food to Su Jie, but he had no appetite for the bloodstained limbs; instead, he was more interested in the various energy-rich flowers and fruits.
This made the Xuan Tribe realize that their Divine Envoy preferred eating fruits.
In fact, Su Jie's body did not need food, for it was a manifestation of the Spirit evolved from Spiritual Energy...
...
A day later, Su Jie returned to Earth.
After removing the device on his head, he got out of bed and immediately felt weak.
Hungry!
Extremely hungry!
"Indeed, I haven't eaten all day," Su Jie said, shaking his head as he looked at the white-skinned fruit in his hand that he had brought back from Primordial Star.
He first checked the data on Primordial Star through the official website on his smartphone.
The military was the first to go to Primordial Star. When he left Jiangnan City, he had seen many of the military's large container trucks coming in and out, probably transporting materials to and from Primordial Star.
"Found it!"
"Brain Fruit, white skin, red flesh, and a core resembling sesame seeds, but shaped like a human brain, known to enhance brain function."
Comparing it with the white fruit in his hand, Su Jie realized it was indeed the Brain Fruit.
He immediately ate it, swallowing it whole.
Suddenly, he felt a fresh energy rise to his brain, warming his body and seemingly alleviating his hunger.
The Brain Fruit, hailing from Primordial Star, also contained traces of Spiritual Energy. Even the smallest amount was enough to temporarily relieve Su Jie's intense hunger.
However, he was still hungry.
But then, Su Jie thought of another issue: if players could bring real items from Primordial Star, then the growth of humanity on Earth would enter an extremely rapid developmental phase.
Even if the Mental Realm did not improve and the body could not undergo metamorphosis, consuming exceptional heavenly and earthly treasures would only be a taste of their potential; but consuming them over many years would inevitably enhance vitality.
The Mind can influence the body, aiding one in controlling every ounce of their strength.
Conversely, the growth of the body can also stimulate the growth of the Spirit, although this process is much slower than the Mind driving the body.
For someone like Jiang Wudao, who would never lack resources...
"Huff—"
Collecting his thoughts, Su Jie's eyes cleared: "Every coin has two sides. At the moment, the most crucial thing for me is to get into Minglun Martial School. I just don't know if, for next year's exams, Minglun Martial School will raise their requirements..."
They will.
Su Jie already had the answer.
Therefore, within this year, he had to further enhance his vitality.
"Dinner's ready!"
Xu Ying glanced at Su Jie's room door and mumbled, "Really, he sleeps the whole day away."
Su Jie hurried out to the dining table, picked up his bowl and chopsticks, and started to eat voraciously.
"Little brother, your appetite has grown a lot," remarked Su Chen, who had returned home today to join the family for dinner. She was surprised by Su Jie's appetite. "Did you go into deep sleep?"
"Nonsense!"
Su Shilin laughed and scolded, "The kid went to Minglun Martial School to learn martial arts, and then he spent the whole day immersed in the Taixu Illusory Realm's Primordial Star. Going a whole day without food, of course he'd be starving."
Su Chen's expression turned serious: "According to my research, being fully immersed in the Taixu Illusory Realm counts as a form of deep sleep. Those illusionary realms, if you immerse in them, equate to true deep sleep."
"And the recent Primordial Star is a real world in its own right, with time flowing the same as it does here. It exists in the same universe as ours; it's just that our current technology can't craft a spaceship to go there in person. We can only access it via the Taixu Illusory Realm—"
"Such real experiences are already deep sleep!"
"Your hunger might not be hugely related to not eating for a day; it's quite possible that it's due to deep sleep awakening your potential, leading to a deficiency of nutrients in your body."
Su Jie nodded; he suspected as much, but hearing Su Chen confirm it made him feel even more urgent inside.
At this rate, everyone's vitality would improve tremendously.
Especially the Jiang Corporation, already a huge conglomerate, with Jiang Wudao as a genius capable of meditation. Even if he wasn't a prodigy at the start, reaching that level would inevitably make him one.
For him to save his sister and relieve her from suffering, it just got harder...
