"Zhou Hong, I never expected this," Yang Xi said with a wry smile.
"Yes, I never expected you to transmigrate your soul to our Earth," Shen Yanran's face was filled with complexity, though not entirely surprised, as she had previously found it hard to explain Zhou Hong's sudden rise in power as an ordinary person, and now it was finally clear.
"That's right. Since you are already within my sub-world, you can stay here for now. Once I return to the Purple Heaven Continent, I will let you out. At that time, you will also become people of the Purple Heaven Continent," Zhou Hong said.
"Okay, but will we be able to return after going to the Purple Heaven Continent?" Yang Xi asked.
"Not for a short while."
"Then my parents...?"
"If they are willing, they can directly live in my sub-world from now on," a bold plan suddenly arose in Zhou Hong's mind.
"It's a good idea, but I need to go back to China first and talk to my parents. I'm afraid they might not agree. After all, they've lived on Earth their whole lives, and coming to a strange place might not be easy for them to adapt to."
Zhou Hong nodded. "Indeed. Therefore, I suddenly thought of a plan: how about we create an Earth immigrant village? We can move all those on Earth who are willing to immigrate. This way, in my sub-world in the future, there will be airplanes and cannons, cars and ships, just like on Earth. There will also be mobile phones and computers. If your parents live here, it will be very similar to Earth."
"That's a great idea."
"Then let's go. We'll head back to China now."
"Okay, okay."
Zhou Hong immediately took Yang Xi and Shen Yanran back to Jinzhou City, China.
At this very moment, a shocking piece of news was spreading across the globe, news about Zhou Hong possessing a sub-world.
"Yang Xi, Yanran, go back and tell your families to immigrate to my sub-world. Tell them that if I have the hope of becoming an immortal in the future, then all those in my sub-world will have the opportunity to ascend to the immortal realm as well."
"Mhm! Mhm!" Yang Xi and Shen Yanran were incredibly excited.
"I believe my parents will definitely be willing. Who wouldn't want to go to the legendary immortal realm if given the chance? Otherwise, they will just be born and die generation after generation on Earth, endlessly, until Earth is destroyed and completely vanishes."
"That's right. By entering my sub-world, as long as I am alive, you can follow me to any higher world. Of course, there are risks. For example, if I die tomorrow, then everything in my sub-world will vanish with me."
"Zhou Hong, I believe you are a person with great destiny. Don't say such disheartening things. We believe in you."
"Good," Zhou Hong smiled slightly.
"Then we'll go home first. When will you be returning to the Purple Heaven Continent?" Shen Yanran asked.
"I originally planned for seven days from now, but now that I have a bolder plan to create an Earth immigrant village, it will probably take longer. This time could be as short as a month, or even longer. We don't have to rush this much anyway."
"Okay, I'm really looking forward to this Earth immigrant village."
Without further ado, Zhou Hong instantly left Jinzhou City and returned to the capital.
Originally, Zhou Hong had not intended to let more Earthlings enter his sub-world.
But now, to create an Earth immigrant village, the number of people would not be in the thousands or tens of thousands. To have high-speed rail and airplanes, mobile phones and telephones in his sub-world, and to create a modern city, the population would need to be at least hundreds of millions.
Therefore, next, Zhou Hong planned to immigrate everyone on Earth who was willing into his sub-world.
Coincidentally, he had displayed his sub-world in the Star-Spangled Country. He believed that within a few days, countless people on Earth would know that he possessed a sub-world. At that time, Zhou Hong would smoothly announce the plan for the immigrant village.
Upon returning to the capital, Zhou Hong immediately shared his thoughts with Changsun Qinghe, Liu Zhenfeixu, and Qiao Xiaoyu, Qiao Zhenhua, and others.
To his surprise, they were extremely supportive upon learning of Zhou Hong's plan.
"Zhou Hong, that's wonderful! My parents were just talking yesterday about how difficult it would be to adapt to the Purple Heaven Continent if we went there, given that it's an unfamiliar place. I never expected you to have a plan to create an Earth village for immigration. In that case, we can completely replicate Earth in your sub-world, and my parents can live as if they were on Earth," Changsun Qinghe said with a face full of anticipation.
"Yes, Zhou Hong, this plan is brilliant. In your sub-world, you call all the shots, right?" Qiao Xiaoyu said with a happy expression.
"Of course. In my sub-world, I am the heaven and earth. I intend to create a set of living rules completely different from Earth's."
"Living rules completely different from Earth's? What do you mean by that?"
"Heh heh. In my sub-world, since I have the final say, I don't want the people living there to experience suffering. For example, on Earth, everyone gets sick, and some even develop terminal illnesses and die. I hope that in my world, the word 'sickness' does not exist."
"This? Isn't that too unbelievable?"
Zhou Hong smiled. "In my world, I am the master. I can modify the rules of my world. From now on, people who enter my sub-world will never get sick again. Everyone will live a fixed lifespan of 100 years. Then, on a random night after reaching 100 years old, they will peacefully depart. What do you think of this concept?"
"Of course, it's wonderful! To let the people living in your world be free from illness and live their lives happily. Honestly, they would be much happier than people on Earth now."
"That's right," Zhou Hong laughed heartily. Zhou Hong was also thinking at the moment, whose sub-world is this Earth?
It was a pity, though, that Zhou Hong was too insignificant to know so much.
However, without a doubt, this entire vast universe could not have come into existence from nothing. It must be someone's world. The stars here are born and die, and all living beings in this universe follow laws, which are the rules set by that person. Even Zhou Hong, who possessed his own sub-world, was still bound by the rules of others and survived within their framework.
Zhou Hong looked up at the boundless starry universe and fell into deep thought.
For the next month, Zhou Hong stopped being low-key. In front of the entire human race on Earth, he continuously displayed his extraordinary abilities. More and more Earthlings learned of Zhou Hong, and everyone regarded him as a god.
When the time was almost right, Zhou Hong would announce the plan for the Earth immigrant village, and then it could proceed in an orderly fashion.
