Two Worlds, Starting with Kaguya of Penglai Mountain

"Give them more attention to experience everything around them, and provide them with faith, rather than numbing them with the labor of the day. In this way, even if the population does not increase, the faith that everyone receives should increase."

He then introduced another approach to everyone in front of him.

"Coincidentally, if you intend to adopt my method to enlighten the people and promote entertainment, population growth will decrease rapidly without you even needing to control it."

"The contrast between the illusory beauty and the dry reality will cause most people to gradually lose interest in childbirth."

"The only troublesome aspect of this method is that it requires you to reduce the power of those nobles and create a more suitable environment for all of this."

PS1: The Hakurei Shrine Maiden in front of us can be seen as Reimu's past life.

Full of a sense of responsibility and mission (laughs)

PS2: 7k+ update, asking for votes! Don't miss out!

Chapter 67 Kurokawa: I Want to Become the Hakurei Shrine Maiden

Faith is essentially an individual's directional emotion, and an individual's emotions are finite, just like a person's daily focus and attention are finite.

People who spend long hours working in agriculture naturally don't have the mental energy to think about other things.

The normal state is to blank out your mind and not think about anything.

Enlighten the people? Limit the nobility? Get people out of the land?

The scene was noisy as Kurokawa and Miya explained their plans.

After all, if we free up the laborers, who will do the work? Are we going to let them do it?

Not to mention that without the help of those nobles to manage things, their territories would only become more chaotic.

Many people present even felt that Kurokawa Kazuya's words were too offensive, and if they were not wary of his strength, they would have already retaliated.

However, as Kurokawa Kazuya passed the book around to the people, those who had roughly read its contents all fell into a very quiet silence.

The reason is that these papers contain a farming guide that Kurokawa and Miyo's sister Yoshiki and Asagumo Chihaya compiled together from the internet.

There are regulations concerning the management of modern cities, mechanisms for selecting talent through examinations, and various provisions concerning modern laws.

There are introductions to large-scale farming using steam-engine-like machinery, introductions to various breeding methods, brief introductions to different crop yields, and numerous schemes to gain faith through the entertainment industry.

None of you here are actually stupid.

While cultivating to the point of transcendence may not have turned them into true sages, it certainly accelerated their thinking.

They engaged in extensive thinking within a short period, searching for flaws in the knowledge provided by Kurokawa and Miyako.

Unfortunately, they were unable to find the answer no matter what they tried.

And so, naturally, they fell silent.

Doing business with smart people is actually quite easy.

If you present the undeniable facts and assure them that everything will bring them sufficient benefits, they will naturally follow you.

Unfortunately, Kurokawa and Miya have no shortage of such things.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "It seems that people are really not paying any attention to the city I've been building recently and the steam engine I'm working on."

If I had paid attention, I wouldn't be so silent at this time.

Hakurei Shrine Maiden: "If everything here is indeed as you say, then what do you expect us to give in return for providing us with this information?"

When everyone fell silent, the Hakurei Shrine Maiden, seated at the head of the table, naturally represented the will of the group and raised their question.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "Will you pay the price?"

He paused slightly as he entered a thinking phase.

It's not about whether or not to give them the relevant knowledge.

In this era where technology itself cannot represent military power.

Since there's no particular conflict among them, bringing others along is the best approach.

The production of various industrial products generally follows the principle that the larger the scale, the lower the cost, and development benefits everyone.

While Kurokawa Kazuya did indeed create the steam engine, he had no intention of driving global productivity alone; it was perfectly normal for him to share some of his knowledge.

Needless to say, what he actually gave was the basic knowledge of most technologies.

Is it equivalent to a taste test?

With the development of modern civilization, disciplines have long been subdivided into countless fields, each requiring a person to spend a great deal of energy learning and practicing.

While Kurokawa and Miki's knowledge can theoretically be applied in various ways, in practice, it is actually a whole set of disciplines.

A group of completely inexperienced guys will probably have to go to Kurokawa Kazuya for a more time-saving and efficient solution.

In fact, even without today's transaction, Kurokawa Kazuya would have thought of disseminating this information in various ways.

Now, if I can get these people to work while also satisfying my own desires, that would be even better.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "Originally, I was thinking of getting some secret techniques and texts related to illusion magic and the use of magical artifacts, but now..."

He raised his head and looked directly at the Hakurei Shrine Maiden not far away, and after thinking it over, he made a decision.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "Can I obtain the secret techniques related to the Hakurei Shrine Maiden?"

He looked at the Hakurei Shrine Maiden sitting in the head seat in the distance and offered his idea.

Those gathered around at that moment all showed expressions of regret after hearing Kurokawa Kazuya's words.

If the Hakurei Shrine Maiden were so easily created, there wouldn't be only one city like Heian-kyo.

Only a soul chosen from among millions can bear this power.

As for the others, the outcome is basically that they are annihilated after using it just once.

Do you really think that this power, which combines everyone's strength, is so easy to control?

When Heian-kyo was established, countless resources were used to find such a place.

Monk Shunhui: "Even if we agree to your conditions, there's nothing we can do..."

The old monk, who spoke on behalf of everyone, hadn't finished speaking.

Hakurei Shrine Maiden: "If everything goes as you say, I will offer this assistance on behalf of Heian-kyo."

The girl dressed in a red and white shrine maiden outfit suddenly spoke in a cold, icy voice.

"???" XN

All eyes turned to the Hakurei Shrine Maiden.

Some people even looked at her with a hint of observation, as if they wanted to see if the Hakurei Shrine Maiden in front of them was being manipulated.

After all, it's hard to say that the man in front of her has no criminal record. He was the one who hooked up with the Moon Princess as soon as he arrived in Heian-kyo. Who knows if he has any special tricks up his sleeve?

However, facing everyone's gaze, the shrine maiden's cold face remained expressionless.

She simply shook her head: "It's related to that Moon Princess."

The girl gave that answer, and then fell silent.

She obviously wouldn't reveal what she saw to the others present, which led to a falling out between Kurokawa and Mi.

After all, that wasn't an important matter.

The girl's cold face and dark eyes reflected Kurokawa Kazuya's figure, but from her perspective, Kurokawa Kazuya looked different.

Just like how boundary demons can see their own unique perspective.

The shrine maidens of Heian-kyo, who hold the entire concept of Heian-kyo in their grasp, can also see things from a perspective different from others.

At least within Heian-kyo, the state of things there is completely transparent to the Hakurei Shrine Maiden.

In her eyes, Kurokawa Kazuya at this moment was not a person, but an image frozen in the space in front of her, constantly changing.

The Hakurei Shrine Maiden had seen a similar scene with the Moon Princess.

It seems to be the constitution of the people called Penglai people.

Even suicide cannot kill, and self-harm cannot erase memories of things.

Since the other party is already immortal, there is naturally no need to fear the side effects of the Hakurei Shrine Maiden.

At worst, it just means your soul will be scattered once each time.

The Hakurei Shrine Maiden: "Mr. Kurokawa, your help this time can obviously be exchanged for the Hakurei Shrine Maiden's inheritance. So, is the deal settled?"

The cold witch asked in an emotionless tone.

At this moment, she became a shrine maiden of Heian-kyo, tasked with notarizing the negotiations.

As she spoke, those around her fell silent and looked at Kurokawa Kazuya.

The succession of the priestess is actually quite important, but in the end, no one present raised any objections.

The lineage of the Hakurei Shrine Maiden does not belong to any of them.

If they don't hand over the priestess's inheritance, then they'll be the ones paying for Kurokawa and Miya's information.

Compared to their own secret techniques, almost everyone tacitly agreed that it would be more worthwhile to have the Hakurei Shrine Maiden hand over her inheritance.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "?"

Kurokawa Kazuya, who had originally thought that there would be considerable resistance to demanding the core inheritance, was slightly taken aback when he saw the silence in the room.

After all, we can't see what effect the things he gave us will have, but the power of the Hakurei Shrine Maiden is well-known.

However, after gradually figuring it out, a strange look appeared on his face.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "So, it's been a pleasant collaboration?"

He reached out his hand to the priestess in front of him.

The emotionless, cold shrine maiden, facing Kurokawa Kazuya's outstretched hand, pondered for a moment before extending her own hand to shake his.

Hakurei Shrine Maiden: "It's a pleasure working with you."

She spoke in a flat, monotone voice.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Final Piece of the Puzzle

Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish

The rustling of leaves in the forest mingled with the rhythmic footsteps on the country dirt road.

Kazuya Kurokawa and Yuyuko Saigyouji were walking on their way back.

Saigyouji Yuyuko: "Mr. Kurokawa seems quite satisfied with this harvest."

A crisp sound came from the young lady's mouth.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "Oh, is it that obvious?"

Touching his cheek, Kurokawa Kazuya felt that his emotions shouldn't be too obvious.

However, he didn't really intend to hide his current feelings.

Although he felt down for a while after hearing some things, overall Kurokawa Kazuya was quite satisfied with what he had gained.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "After obtaining the Hakurei Shrine Maiden's legacy, the puzzle of my own power is finally complete."

Obtain faith from the real world and use that faith to forge magical artifacts and consume those artifacts.

As the number of magical artifacts collected increases, the city that Kurokawa and Miya have built will naturally become stronger and stronger.

But this strength is not essentially due to Kurokawa becoming stronger, but rather to the city's defenses becoming stronger.

He himself needs to use this process to further promote his illusory image as the "god of entertainment and games".

By expanding the number of believers and spreading the doctrine, the "rules and regulations" to which the illusion belongs are engraved throughout the world, continuously deepening the interpretation of the concept of the illusion and constantly becoming stronger.

Kurokawa Kazuya's advantage lies in his ability to utilize modern knowledge to farm in today's world.

As he develops the city to a better level, his illusory image as the "God of Entertainment and Games" will naturally become stronger and stronger.
