Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

As one of the branches of Julius's main family, that is 'Caesar'.

If what the old man said is true, then Gaius is his nephew.

So the old man's full name should be Harriman Julius Caesar.

But this time, Ye figured it out; it was probably a lie.

It's unlikely to be a biological nephew, unless his name is Lucius Caesar, but there is a connection, that's true.

When the old man heard Gaius Caesar, he didn't react at first, but then a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He probably thought he had some kind of relationship with Caesar, which is why he hurriedly claimed to be Caesar's uncle.

But the family tree of the mighty Julius Caesar is unknown to Ye.

...Ye's powerful memory still allowed her to clearly remember the direct relatives listed in the Caesar family genealogy.

None of Caesar's uncles and cousins, who were related to him and left a significant mark on history, fared as badly as he did!

He deliberately only mentioned Gaius Caesar and not Julius's surname, just to see the old man's reaction.

It now seems that there's an 80% chance the other party's identity is genuine.

Then the other person's life is worth saving.

After all, not everyone has a 'nephew' named Gaius Caesar.

Not every Caesar can be called Julius Caesar the Great.

In the Roman era, if we were to name the most dazzling figures and historical figures, Julius Caesar would undoubtedly be among them.

If you want to thrive in this era, blindly investing in Caesar stocks is definitely the right thing to do.

certainly--

Ye hadn't yet decided whether to establish any relationship with Julius Caesar.

But he doesn't hesitate to help the other family in such situations and gain their friendship.

At least the other party admitted it himself—that he was Gaius's 'uncle'.

Sometimes, a verbal acknowledgment is enough to get what you want.

He didn't need the other person to be Gaius's real uncle!

As long as he believes it's 'true', that's enough.

At least that's the reason for taking action.

If Ye leaves this place in the future and regains his freedom, he will need to be a free citizen to survive in Rome.

Perhaps Caesar's family can help me.

Putting aside other things—

In Rome, there were numerous cases of outsiders becoming free citizens, or even directly becoming Roman emperors.

The ideas of democracy and freedom began to blossom and flourish in this era.

If it had been two years earlier, he wouldn't even have needed to seek out Caesar. By following the prevailing policies of the era of the League of Nations, he could have easily obtained Roman citizenship, just like the Italians, and settled down smoothly in the country.

In the modern world, it would be equivalent to a green card from the United States.

As for whether to continue simulating the universe to become stronger, or to fully integrate into the reality of this era, or even to find the Chinese homeland of this world and this era—that's something to consider later.

Back to the topic,

Seeing the old man emerge from the night station was like a drowning man grasping at a straw; regardless of whether it would be of any use, a powerful desire—a will to survive—made him shout:

"Please save me! If you can save me, Gaius, I, and the entire Julius family will thank you and repay you in the future!"

We will forever remember your kindness!

The slave owner stared in astonishment, as if he had heard something absurd. He couldn't even muster any anger or shame. Instead, he said incredulously, "You don't actually believe this old man, do you?"

Ye ignored the other person completely, and instead nodded to the old man, saying, "Good... I'll remember what you said today."

Then he turned to look at the slave owner.

Stared at by the night's eyes, the slave owner trembled again, feeling inexplicably panicked, as if he were being watched by a ferocious beast.

...glug...

After swallowing hard, he asked in a trembling voice, "What do you want to do?"

Night: "Let me do it. I'll take his place in this game."

You can choose any weapon you want, right?

Slave owner: "!!! Are you insane! You're going to die in this old man's place?!"

If the slave owner's actions towards this slave, who had changed so drastically in a single day, had caused him such a violent shock, coupled with the subtle yet palpable sense of oppression on a higher level of life, that it had left him feeling uncertain and fearful?

After hearing Ye's words, he completely forgot about his panic.

Who could have guessed that such an unassuming body possessed such astonishing strength, with a grip so powerful that even a whip couldn't pull it out of the iron tower?

He was initially worried that the other party might suddenly attack and hurt him!

But the other party actually asked to die?!

Is he confident that he can pass that terrifying trial?

For someone who is either crazy or stupid,

Do not……

To believe such an easily debunked lie (as the old man said) is simply foolish.

For a moment, the fear in the slave owner's heart dissipated somewhat when he thought of this.

Chapter 41: Currently, Oris is 1, and her future appearance fee will be 500 million.

“I need a wooden gun…” Night said.

"You're insane!!!" the slave owner exclaimed.

Seeing that Ye remained unmoved, simply continuing to gaze at him quietly, as if waiting for him to retrieve the spear.

The slave owner felt that something had happened to the world... it had become somewhat unfamiliar to him.

The people around him all thought Ye had gone mad.

But only the old man felt that the night possessed a courage that others could not see or touch.

After experiencing despair and anxiety, and calming down, Haruman began to look at the man who had saved her again.

That unspoken yet steady and commanding presence was something he had only ever seen in some powerful generals in the past.

Among the young people he knew, if there was anyone who could rival him in terms of temperament and demeanor, it would probably only be Pompey (one of the future giants of Rome).

Such a young man is definitely not the madman or fool that others see him as.

He wouldn't have chosen to step forward at this time if he didn't have a trump card.

Just then, the 'distinguished guests' who had been drawn to the scene by the old man's struggle, having heard the commotion, also heard Ye's speech.

Although the sounds weren't loud, some people on the nearby high platform heard them, and the news quickly spread. Having witnessed the horrific scene of the Greek warriors, who would still dare to challenge the trial?

Fueled by hormones, more and more people excitedly shouted, "Let him go!!!"

"This kid is much more interesting than the old man."

The distinguished guests, always eager for excitement and unafraid of trouble, quickly grew in number, with calls for the night to take the stage.

The slave owner's face darkened... Even though Ye was courting death and had offended him, he still didn't want Ye to actually go on stage.

Such high-quality slaves could fetch a high price if a good merchant was found. This kind of unprofitable business is something we should never do, even if it means being beaten to death.

The slave owner began to feign muteness, remaining silent for a long time.

The outside world is becoming increasingly agitated and dissatisfied, and the distinguished guests are getting impatient.

Just as the slave owner was also burning with anxiety, he hardened his heart and prepared to have the old man forcibly dragged onto the stage.

Night suddenly stirred. Still bound by iron chains that held his ankles and bracelets, he walked with incredibly steady and powerful steps toward the exit from which the slave owner had come.

The two thugs guarding the door were slightly taken aback, and then subconsciously tried to get up and stop him.

But when they looked up, they saw Ye give them a look, and they immediately froze, too afraid to move.

What a terrifying look!

In that instant, they felt as if they were on the savanna, being stared at by a lion, and their hearts were filled with unease.

What the hell——!!

As a result, Ye successfully walked out the door over the shoulders of the two people, facing the white light, and still no one dared to stop him.

The gatekeepers, their backs already soaked with sweat, only realized what was happening when they heard the slave owner's furious voice scolding them for not making any move and just dumbfounded letting the man go.

The thugs guarding the gate also had their grievances unspoken.

This is bizarre! This person is incredibly strange!

Witnessing all this, the old man hiding in the crowd at the back suddenly felt a glimmer of hope in his eyes, and Haruman felt that he had not misjudged the person.

Perhaps he really had met a benefactor this time, and a glimmer of hope rose in the old man's heart.

And at this time——

Finally, we've arrived in the outside world—

It was actually nighttime at the edge of the arena plaza; only when you looked up could you see the entire arena.

At this moment, on the circular platforms on both sides, countless people were also casting their gazes over, some out of curiosity and some with ill intentions, but all eyes were fixed on Ye's handsome face and his seemingly unimpressive physique.

Although Ye's body has now grown stronger after the simulated feeding,

But when they were dressed, they didn't seem nearly as imposing as those nearly two-meter-tall strongmen or the ferocious Greek warriors.

Those who had been watching the situation below knew that this was the same slave who had just uttered those arrogant words.

Immediately, the people on the stage began to discuss among themselves.

"How did he have the courage to stand up?"

"I thought the one who would dare to continue challenging the lion would be a powerful warrior, a giant two or three meters tall. I never expected—"
