"Did I teach you all this just so you could kill each other here?!"
“Senior Lin Ye!” Romulus looked at the suddenly appearing Lin Ye, his face filled with shame. “Senior Lin Ye, we know this action is wrong, but it is the choice of God, so… we must fight for our respective beliefs.”
“That’s right.” Remus nodded as well.
However, listening to Remus and Romulus's words, Lin Ye's face was filled with disappointment.
"Back then, I divided the sacred tree in two and gave it to you so that you would understand that you two were originally one, but now..."
Hearing Lin Ye say this, the two brothers felt even more ashamed.
Seeing their expressions, Lin Ye said helplessly, "Fine, since you say that all of this is God's choice, then I will let God himself tell you what his choice is."
After saying that, Lin Ye's figure disappeared.
Five minutes later, before the two brothers could understand what was happening, they saw lightning and thunder in the sky, like the end of the world. Ten minutes later, they saw Lin Ye appear in front of them carrying a guy with a bruised and swollen face.
"This is... Lord Zhu Bite!"
Romulus was dumbfounded! Jupiter! Also known as Zeus, the King of the Gods! A supreme being among the gods! How come he now looks like a bullied child!
How could Romulus possibly know that, let alone Zeus, the god-king who lost his physical body in the Pan-Human History, even the all-god Zeus from the Lostbelt would only be five minutes versus fifteen minutes in front of Lin Ye?
Lin Ye politely set Zhu Bite aside before looking at him and asking...
"They both say they received your divine message. Now tell them, who did you actually give the message to?"
Zhu Bite: "Huh???"
boom!
Lin Ye: "I'm asking you a question! Who did you give a divine decree to?!"
Zhu Bite: "Um...who do you want me to give it to?"
Lin Ye………
No, why do you make it sound like I'm bullying you? Do I look like that kind of person?!
"Just tell the truth, follow your heart."
You said follow follow
Zhu Bite pointed with his eyes closed, then said without turning his head, "It's him! That's right! He's the one I chose!"
Regardless of what the previous oracle was, Romulus is the one I have chosen now.
"Ah."
Lin Ye nodded, and then Zhu Bite quickly left.
Watching Zhu Bite leave, Lin Ye then looked at the two brothers and said...
"Alright, you have received the divine message. Now, you can make your decision."
Make a decision? What decision is there to make? Since Zhu Bite has said so, let's just listen.
But... Senior Lin Ye, shouldn't you tell us just how strong you are?! A mighty God-King! How come we're like little chickens in front of you?!
However, it was clear that Lin Ye had no intention of explaining.
Ultimately, Romulus decided to build a new city on the Palatine Hill!
To commemorate Lin Ye's teachings to him, he decided to name the city after him!
Rome!!!
"Rome is finally finished."
Lin Ye couldn't help but sigh.
For Romulus, his most important achievement was founding Rome, and now, this most legendary country in the West has reached 5.7.
November 27: With the combined efforts of Romulus and Remus, and the help of his grandfather Numitoré, Rome was finally partially completed!
On this day, the whole nation was cheering and celebrating, but Lin Ye noticed that Romulus's face was filled with sorrow.
November 28: Finally, Romulus awkwardly approached Lin Ye.
Lin Ye: "Romulus, what's wrong with you? Rome has been built, why aren't you happy?"
Hearing Lin Ye's words, Romulus said embarrassedly, "Senior Lin Ye, may I ask you... um... are you capable of creating babies? By the way, preferably women."
Lin Ye………
What do you take me for?!
Chapter 533 Romulus, Simulation Ends
Should Lin Ye be made to have a baby?
It's not impossible, but that would take time.
Lin Ye isn't Nuwa; she can't just mold people out of clay.
Lin Ye asked Romulus what he wanted to do, and Romulus replied shyly:
"Senior Lin Ye, although our new country has the support of my grandfather's slaves in terms of men, it is impossible for the country to continue if there are only men and no women."
That's normal; slaves are usually men, rarely women. Those who know, know.
Therefore, Rome desperately needs women right now.
Lin Ye said, "Romulus, you can't treat women as tools for reproduction. I will not give you women directly; that would be disrespectful to them."
Although Lin Ye can't create people from clay, he has many Lostbelts and could easily create thousands of women. However, Lin Ye won't do that, since the people of Lostbelt 07 are now considered Lin Ye's people.
Hearing Lin Ye say this, Romulus felt even more ashamed.
"If that's the case, does that mean that's the only method we can use?"
"what way?"
"We plan to hold a grand martial arts tournament to attract people from all over the region. After the tournament, we'll plunder the women who came to watch..."
Lin Ye………
Depend on!
Who came up with this terrible idea? While it might change the current situation, it's just utterly ridiculous.
Imagine a man traveling with his wife, enjoying hot pot and singing karaoke, when suddenly they are robbed by bandits (Roman bandits)...
"Ahem... There's no need to be so extreme. Instead of fighting over it, why not just turn the martial arts tournament into a martial arts contest to find a husband, and set up matchmaking corners in Rome? I believe that with Rome's charm, it can still attract many women."
Love in ancient Rome was actually quite simple: men only needed to provide women with a sense of security. Historically, Romulus achieved the first population growth by abducting women, and as it turned out, those abducted women actually accepted Roman offers of marriage.
However, Lin Ye was a civilized person after all, and he still had some sense of shame.
Upon hearing Lin Ye's words, Romulus's eyes lit up, and he immediately began preparations.
January 1st of the following year: The first Roman tournament for choosing a bride began, attracting women from the nearby Seninenci, Antemenati, Crustummini, and Sabine tribes. Many women stayed because of Rome's promising future and Romulus's policy of providing housing.
During this time, Romulus also met a young woman named Hercilia, and the two fell in love.
January 15 of the following year: Romulus made a name for himself by saying that anyone who came to Rome could be freed, which attracted most of the slaves to join him.
February 1st of the following year: The Repins, enraged by Romulus's expansion, launched an attack, and led by King Titus Tartius, their army approached Rome!
February 10th of the following year: The Repin tribe possessed a large number of ram-headed wizards. Romulus and Remus did not confront them head-on, so they held their ground and the Repins could not break through.
February 11 of the following year: Titus planned to launch a night attack on Rome's ally Albalange. However, the moment Titus rushed into Albalange, he found the city deserted, with only weeds and oil scattered everywhere (provided by Lin Ye). As countless rockets rained down from the sky, nearly 2 Repin soldiers were engulfed in flames. Rome won a great victory!
On February 12th of the following year: Romulus gathered the captured Repin soldiers with King Titus to prepare for their execution, and at that moment, his wife Hercilia rushed out.
It turns out that Hercilia was Titus's daughter. Seeing Hercilia's mediation, Romulus chose to spare Titus, but demanded that the Repins submit to Rome, to which Titus agreed. (The image shows the Sabine women's mediation. Whether this historical event actually occurred is uncertain, but since I found it, I've included it here with significant changes.)
March 1st of the following year: The captured Repins returned to their territory, and they began to proclaim the power and wisdom of Romulus. To show their submission, they also revered Romulus as Quirinus (meaning: the Sabine god of war).
"Quirinus?" Romulus looked at the name and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
He was originally just an abandoned prince, but today, he has actually reached this point, and he really has to thank Lin Ye for his help.
Originally, Romulus had succeeded, but he had lost his younger brother, his reputation was tarnished by the abduction of women, and his grandfather had died under the invasion of the Repins. But now, he felt very happy.
Just as Romulus was thinking about how to repay Lin Ye in the future, he saw the following content.
January 1st of the third year: Your fame has spread far and wide throughout the vicinity of Rome and the Repin region; you have become the greatest king in the surrounding area!
You stand in the newly built War God Plaza, and at this moment, Lin Ye comes to you. He plants a seed, then pats you on the shoulder and says, "You didn't disappoint me."
Then, an imaginary tree shot into the sky, daylight turned into a lunar eclipse, and a storm enveloped the entire Roman region.
Postscript: Lostbelts were born, and you became their king. As your magic vanished, others throughout human history deified you, and you, under the name Quirinus, along with Jupiter and Mars, became known as the Capitoline Triad (the three supreme gods of Rome).
Your simulation is now complete. Your simulation rating is EX. You are entitled to all of the following rewards.
"This...is it over?"
Romulus was still somewhat unsatisfied, but he was already very satisfied with his final outcome.
The Three Supreme Gods! Beings on par with their own father god and Jupiter, the king of gods!
Although the latter two seemed to lose face in front of Lin Ye, they were still two great gods!
"Oh, and there's a reward!"
