Crash.

The Spirit Realm continued to fly towards Chang'an City.

Zhu Zhengwei took a deep breath. He didn't believe that the other self had not calculated; he knew his own nature too well... there must still be a way out for himself now.

The other self couldn't possibly sit idly by.

Discovering one person with extraordinary talent, you might explain it as the reincarnation of an ancient great being... but if a second identical omnipotent person appears, it would be thoroughly exposed.

Even the Creator God hidden within the shadows might be suspected to exist!

Zhu Zhengwei took another deep breath and tentatively asked, "Bill Hughes, I heard there are two others who were appointed this time?"

"Yes." Bill Hughes was very friendly.

After all, Thunder God was one of the few seniors in the Tower of the Gods who supported him, helping him stand firm and promote currency; there was a good camaraderie in business.

Bill Hughes said, "First, there is the current Prime Minister and the Minister of the Ministry of War... but I only saw him once during the distribution of titles, and then never again."

"The second person is the female warrior from the Ox Race, who I heard is also missing recently... she went to serve the Minister of the Ministry of War."

Zhu Zhengwei pondered for a few seconds.

The Ghost Witch Doctor's details were discovered, and he was imprisoned. It seems the Minotaur couldn't avoid it either, also imprisoned...

After all, with a little investigation in the Spirit Realm, the ambiguous relationship could be understood.

But as a hostage to be restrained, the Minotaur should enjoy the same luxury as a servant to avoid loneliness in confinement... even Qingxia was likely caught and imprisoned together.

One catch netted a whole group.

Zhu Zhengwei thought for a moment, "Oh, as the current Prime Minister, doesn't he like going out?"

"That's what I hear," Bill Hughes said, "He has never been seen by anyone this year; it's said he's heavily relied upon by His Majesty and participates in national affairs every day... Even the Prime Minister's Mansion is set inside the depths of the palace."

Zhu Zhengwei's mouth twitched, "It seems he is quite protected by His Majesty."

"Indeed."

Bill Hughes whispered, "Once one person gains the way, even the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven... Though I haven't seen this man anymore, I've heard they're giving high positions to old friends in the Spirit Realm."

"I've heard there's also an appointment decree, requested by the Prime Minister for His Majesty to promulgate."

Zhu Zhengwei was suddenly startled awake!

A decree?

Perhaps there is information within.

Soon, the Spirit Realm flew for some time, halfway to Chang'an City.

Zhu Zhengwei saw the responsible court official gather everyone and produce a decree.

"From today, the Tower of the Gods will be the Coinage Tower, issuing currency for Great Tang."

"Goddess of Desire, you are hardworking, kind, helpful, and sincere. The Prime Minister appoints you as the Chief Palace Maid serving the Coinage Factory."

"War God, you are valiantly brave and upright. The Prime Minister appoints you as the Guard Captain at the Coinage Factory."

...

"Magic Goddess, you oversee the practice of the entire tower. The Prime Minister appoints you as Minister of Internal Affairs."

"Thunder God, you are specialized in Spirit Coin energy research, diligent and eager to learn. The Prime Minister appoints you to continue holding 30% of the Spirit Realm's coin minting rule, as Head of Research."

"Bill Hughes, with your acute business acumen, the Prime Minister appoints you as Director of the Coinage Factory, managing issuance and circulation checks and balances."

...

Decrees came down one after another.

Countless people quickly thanked the gods for their blessings.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in the future, the circulation of currency in Great Tang will rely on all of you..." A general smiled.

Everyone cheered.

They held no official rank; the coinage mechanism, detached from the world, was originally a special institution independent of the court's officials, not subject to court jurisdiction, and directly overseen by the emperor, highlighting the importance of the institution.

Army and currency symbolized military strength and financial power.

This was the fundamental, unshakeable cornerstone of a dynasty!

Zhu Zhengwei listened to the appointment and chewed slowly, "The second-in-command of the Coinage Tower, with Bill Hughes as the first in command, the businessman responsible for managing business operations... and I'm responsible for technical updates at the Coinage Factory."

If it was secretly adjusted by myself, it indeed aligns with my character.

Being the first in command would be too high-profile, which isn't good.

He recalled the words of his appointment:

[Thunder God, you are specialized in Spirit Coin energy research, diligent and eager to learn...]

At the same time, he was still given 30% of the Rule Core, which was almost like bending the rules in his favor...

"Daring to openly give myself 30% of the core signifies that the other me is saying: as long as you understand the hint in my first half, by openly giving you benefits, 30% of the World Core, allowing you to profit without exposing our connection..."

He was so confident.

It means, as long as he follows the hint, they won't be exposed...

"I am specialized in Spirit Coin energy research, diligent and eager to learn..." Zhu Zhengwei took a deep breath, "Is it personality? The hint suggests I should act this way; as long as I maintain this personality, I won't be probed about the details?"

What secrets lie in Chang'an City?

Maintaining this personality will avoid exposure?

Such an absurd notion is hard to believe, but Zhu Zhengwei could only trust his other self since he wouldn't deceive himself... though he just considered staying there to work diligently...

"Everyone, we're entering the capital."

An old eunuch spoke, pointing to the towering Chang'an City in the distance.

...

...

Chang'an City.

In the garden.

"Spirit Realm, has the newly founded Coinage Factory yielded any fruitful results recently, Your Majesty?"

Zhu Zhengwei was having tea with Emperor Tang, "How has it been after ten years?"

It had been ten years since the Spirit Realm had come, and Li Shimin had restarted the timeline countless times without noticing any abnormalities, breathing a sigh of relief, and thinking to himself:

"I had thought the Spirit Realm was his homeland and feared something unusual, so even a mere Coinage Factory was treated with utmost caution, cautiously resetting the Tang timeline countless times, and though the entire factory has worked for thousands of years, nothing seemed out of place, and everyone remained quite normal—was I too cautious?"

He was as usual.

One person prompted several posts to probe potential... however, there was never again someone with special talents, just ordinary geniuses with specific skills.

Still, unease lingered in his heart.

There always seemed to be a problem...

But what could the problem be?

He gave him no chance for communication with the outside world. Even as the Prime Minister, Zhu Zhengwei was supervised in appointing official positions and organizing court orders, leaving no room for small maneuvers.

Thus, there were no petty actions at all.

Emperor Tang smiled faintly and replied, "My dear minister, no wonder you have a talent for governance; those appointed have completely met expectations, and I haven't even had to make any adjustments, which is unprecedented!"

Each appointment within Chang'an City.

Typically, it requires some positional adjustments.

But incredibly, this young man in front of him accurately matched everyone to their strengths, assigning them to the most suitable posts.

"My dear minister, how did you manage to do it?" Emperor Tang thought.

"It's a secret, Your Majesty."

Zhu Zhengwei lightly smiled with elegance, "I can only say that I've lived on that land for a time, so I understand each person well."

Previously, I had a Data Core.

I scanned all the strong individuals in the Spirit Realm, seeing their data pages—how could I not know their strengths?

I saw through them at a glance!

There's no need to bother like Emperor Tang, frequently changing positions and tasks to achieve the emperor's goal of 'know and make use of people.'

This is the special power of the Dataized Celestial Dao!

Although, not as overpowering as the world of Chang'an City... it remains very strong.

But unfortunately, it's now severed, and I can't use the power of the Data Core from the other side.

Emperor Tang looked deeply at the person before him, "He really is full of secrets, though in my domain, he can only be used by me... after all, I'll properly compensate for his contributions. As emperor, aside from going out, I can basically meet all his needs... that's enough to live the life you desire."

Zhu Zhengwei just faintly smiled, gently sipping his tea.

Thinking to himself, but his lips curled in a slight smile, with the hint of realization that his second incarnation instinctively understood his hint, finally obtaining an official position in the whole of Chang'an City, and was able to freely enter and exit Chang'an City....

A perfectly legitimate official.
