Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

At least according to the normal course of Roman history, there is no longer any history about gods and miracles.

Could something have happened to the gods of this world?!

Chapter 49 First, establish a stable place to live in this world.

Given the nature of the Greek gods, it's impossible that they wouldn't respond upon discovering such a unique being.

But there's no response at all...

In addition, miracles have become increasingly rare in Roman history.

Night began to suspect that either the gods of this world no longer existed, or that it was now difficult for them to descend to the mortal realm.

The fact that gods cannot arbitrarily interfere with the mortal realm is a good thing for Ye.

Although one cannot gain power by winning over Apollo in this world through the White Girlfriend, the absence of a god-level being also reduces the possibility of facing god-level dangers.

After what happened in the square, Ye did not go to explore the other main statues, but instead turned to visit other buildings in Rome.

And decided to try to avoid contact with these statues as much as possible in the future.

Although he guessed that the gods were now unable to descend to the mortal realm or had disappeared, Ye did not intend to investigate the secrets hidden behind them until he became powerful enough.

The next target of the night was the Roman slave market.

As the darkest and most distinctive place in Rome during this era, it was even recently that someone was trapped in a remote slave dungeon.

Although he did not like this bloody and barbaric system.

But I didn't intend to change this era by myself; it would be too difficult.

As I always say, compassion is important, but it must be done only within one's capabilities and within one's limits.

Compared to being a saint or hero who saves the world, he had more selfish desires and was more like an ordinary person.

First, make sure you're comfortable, then you can consider other things.

If I had 100 yuan, it wouldn't be unreasonable to set aside 50 cents to help a beggar.

If I had a hundred million, taking out a million would be nothing to me.

If you don't recognize your own limitations and insist on playing the hero, you will only end up becoming a hypocrite who causes pain to those around you.

Only when you are living a happy life and have enough to eat and drink can you have the leisure to do good deeds.

Since he couldn't change the system, he decided to become a beneficiary of it. However, he also had a moral bottom line, which was enough for Ye.

Now I'm going to go and see if there are any suitable slaves to buy.

He planned to cultivate his own team. Since he wanted to settle in Rome, he set a small goal first: to own his own estate and servants.

Inherited from the traditional ideas of his hometown before he traveled back in time.

The first thing is to own a piece of land and a house to live in.

The problems with the manor might be resolved through the Julius family.

You'll need to buy the guards and servants yourself.

The primary targets of the Night are strong men, and only secondarily women with beautiful faces and figures.

He needed some powerful slave warriors to guard his estate, preferably slaves specifically trained by slave owners for gladiatorial combat.

Such warriors represent not only strength, but also that they have essentially been tamed.

If needed in the future, they can be immediately incorporated into his army.

In Rome, acquiring beautiful women and wealth isn't difficult, provided you're powerful enough.

Gaius Marius had already set the best example for the fastest path to upward mobility for the grassroots.

The best way to follow the example is to take the military route.

Those who control the military have the greatest voice in this era.

If Ye wants to pursue a military route, now is a good opportunity—

The Allied Wars are still ongoing due to the wheels of history.

The place where night had fallen, the place the slave owners had described as Rome's repeated defeats in recent years, its multi-front wars, was the result of the continuous setbacks in the alliance wars.

The anti-Roman alliance was formed by Italian allies, with the Marci people at its core.

Because the Marsi people were the most vehemently opposed among the allies, the war is also known as the Marsi War.

Starting with the uprising that began in Osculen.

Apart from the Etruscans and Umbrians, almost all of Rome's allies (eight tribes of Roman vassals) were drawn into the uprising, which spread throughout the Italian peninsula, with the strongest forces in the central and southern regions.

The reason this war was so intense was not because Rome had weakened or the Italians were particularly powerful, but mainly because of a very awkward problem.

What was initially thought to be just a rebellion suppression turned out to be far more brutal than it appeared once the fighting began.

Many of the soldiers in these allied forces against Rome were originally soldiers who had broken away from the Roman army.

The two sides were originally brothers in the same army and were very familiar with each other.

Many of the enemy generals were actually rebels whom Roman generals had raised up in their hometowns and homelands.

They used the same military formations, tactics, and even similar equipment.

The places we live in are intertwined, with each other influencing the other.

Although it was called a resistance war, it was almost like a civil war.

In this disgusting battle, even a Roman consul named Lupus died, along with eight thousand Roman soldiers.

Another general who shone brightly in this battle, a Roman consul, could no longer continue and had already led his troops back to Rome, racking his brains for a way to end this frustrating war.

And this person was also very familiar to Ye; he was Caesar's uncle, Lucius Caesar.

He knew this man not only because he was Gaius Caesar—the uncle of the future Julius Caesar—but also because of his connection to the man.

It was also because it was this man's Julius Citizenship Law that granted Italians their due citizenship rights, which brought an end to the war.

This was something I had envisioned before nightfall, but I failed to catch the opportune moment of obtaining Roman citizenship.

certainly--

It turns out that it wasn't that we missed it, but that the train hadn't even started running yet.

Even more——

Night misjudged Caesar's age. When he first mentioned Gaius Caesar's name to Harriman, the man excitedly declared that he was his nephew.

Seeing how old Harriman looked, Ye thought Caesar was already an adult.

But after truly understanding this changed Roman era,

It was only then that Ye realized that Julius Caesar was still a teenager.

Let alone the future Roman dictator,

Caesar hadn't even been appointed the most basic tribune.

To be more precise, he was still playing in the mud with his family, cough! That's a bit of an exaggeration, but Caesar clearly hadn't started his career yet and was still in the learning and growth stage.

It was only then that Night realized that Harriman Julius might have known from the beginning that he and Gaius Caesar did not know each other at all.

After all, Ye, being an outsider, had no chance to get to know Caesar, who was still growing up in his family, or to become Caesar's friend.

But sometimes, smart people don't need to say much.

Instead, they tacitly agree to trade and each get what they need.

Now, Ye can only hope that Harriman Julius can lend a hand and have more influence within the Julius family.

If the Julius family cannot help him resolve his issue of being undocumented in Rome...

So let alone wanting to get involved in Rome's military campaigns and seize control of Rome's military power.

Chapter 50: Excessive bodybuilding can even attract the same sex.

Fortunately, there are other ways to live a good life besides the night.

He even has a simulated universe—!!

As long as one is persistent enough, sooner or later, individual power will grow strong enough to disregard national and global threats.

Even though he was all alone, no one in this era could control his freedom.

Imagine a world where someone calls themselves the 'Demon King,' a god-slayer who single-handedly builds an army and a nation.

Even if he were alone, no country in the world would dare to speak loudly to him.

When it arrives, everyone bows down and lines the streets to welcome it. If someone wants power, many powerful forces will immediately come to its door, all for the protection of the strong and to obtain more resources.

True strength comes from within oneself.

certainly--

It's not that their power and military were weak.

For ordinary people, if there were no simulated universe nights and they wanted to live well in this era, and even live a more comfortable life than anyone else, then it would be essential to take the military route.

Even Julius Caesar, in his youth, initially pursued a literary career, but later, after witnessing the power of another Roman giant, Pompey, he understood the decisive difference between having an army and not having one, and also grasped the allure of an army!

Only by seizing military power can one truly control Rome! This also guided Caesar's future path of abandoning civil affairs for military affairs.

Although simulating the universe can make one stronger, Ye doesn't mind training a powerful army to command along the way.

Make the most of the resources at your disposal to become stronger, and never be arrogant or complacent, or stop moving forward.

The primary focus should be on individual training to improve strength, supplemented by the cultivation of power; once the priorities are clear, both approaches should be pursued simultaneously.

He believed that in this Roman era, he would soon be able to thrive and live the 'ordinary' and happy life he desired.

Hmm—simple and unpretentious happiness!

People like him, who have experienced near-death experiences more than once, are even more greedy for the freedom to live.

Life, life—it's still life!

Everything that prevents him from living freely is an obstacle in his path. Even if Zeus, the king of the gods, stands in his way, he will kill him!

Apollo, the god of light, could never have imagined that his favorite hero and the warrior he blessed would be a rebellious scoundrel whose mind was filled with all sorts of disrespectful thoughts towards the gods.

That is, neither intentionally disobeying God, nor showing respect or love for God.
