"You can call me Electrolux. Honestly, I could tell that, like me, you weren't from this world. Your soul was the best proof. It clearly resembled that of an adult, someone in his twenties, but your body was that of a teenager."
(Note: Before the protagonist was sent to this world after being hit by a car driven by a crazed Douluo fan, he was already a university student in his twenties. So when Electrolux said the protagonist's soul was in his twenties, he meant the protagonist's soul from his previous life was in his twenties.
However, the protagonist's soul should be around his thirties by now.)
"I came here because of an accident. A crazed fan—a crazed fan of a novel—drove into me. He couldn't tolerate anyone insulting the masterpiece and the idolized characters in his heart, so I was reincarnated into this world afterward."
"A Soul Guidance Vehicle?" Electrolux had also seen this world's Soul Tools within Zhong Kui's mindscape, including Soul Guidance Vehicles.
(Note: In the animated version of Peerless Tang Sect, Shrek had things like Soul Guidance Vehicles, so I wrote that the Sun Moon Empire had them too.)
"My world didn't have Soul Tool technology, but it did have science and technology—things like physics, to put it simply. In my view, this should be something created by people with supernatural powers. Something like supernatural technology. But the people in my world didn't have any supernatural powers. We only had technology.
Let me slowly explain some of the knowledge from my world. All right, I'll teach you a little."
Afterward, Zhong Kui told him about some of the knowledge and memories from his world—his original world. After hearing it, Electrolux had to admit that the technology of Zhong Kui's world was indeed impressive, even more advanced than current Soul Tool technology.
At the same time, he admired the people of Zhong Kui's world. Despite possessing no supernatural powers, they had created tools comparable to these Soul Tools.
Even things like nuclear bombs were worthy of admiration.
Even Electrolux could not have created something like that.
Electrolux considered himself quite formidable. He could create many marvelous tools, but he could never produce something like a nuclear bomb.
At the same time, while not every country in Zhong Kui's world was outstanding, most countries had compulsory education laws and the like.
For example, Zhong Kui's homeland had compulsory education—nine years of it—allowing children to receive knowledge for free.
The Shengmo Continent basically had no country like the Sun Moon Empire, nor did it have compulsory education laws. In the end, one had to pay to receive an education.
Although Electrolux had not been in this world for long and could only observe it through Zhong Kui's mind, he had still come to understand some things.
All he could say was that the people of Zhong Kui's original world had no supernatural energy and no cultivation system.
Yet they still lived well. There were many people there, and many of them were outstanding.
"Honestly... I really don't like this world. Living here feels awful. You have to hunt soul beasts to obtain Soul Rings in order to grow stronger. But what happens when all the soul beasts die out one day? Where will the Soul Rings come from? The people here have never considered solving this problem.
And commoners will always be commoners. They have no path upward. Even if they awaken a mutation and possess an outstanding martial soul, without noble connections, they still have no qualification to awaken their martial soul.
Nor do they have the qualification to attend excellent academies and learn excellent knowledge.
Let me tell you, ten thousand years ago, there was a faction called Spirit Hall. At the very least, it protected the interests of commoner soul masters. It awakened martial souls for commoners free of charge and even allowed commoner soul masters to receive subsidies and such, giving them a way forward. But after Spirit Hall was overthrown and destroyed, many commoners across the continent could no longer awaken their martial souls.
I even heard of a Title Douluo who should have awakened his martial soul at the age of six. But because his family had no money, he did not save enough to awaken it until he was eighteen. If he had awakened his martial soul earlier and enjoyed good cultivation conditions, he might have already become an incredibly powerful Limit Douluo."
"This world is truly bizarre. Spirit Hall had a relatively complete system ten thousand years ago. Even if it was overthrown, they should have established a better system afterward. But what happened? The lives of ordinary people only became worse. This world is truly ridiculous."
Hearing this, Electrolux could not help but complain as well. What exactly was wrong with this world? Could it really be this exasperating?
"Then let me ask you something. Did your alchemy techniques and the like come from your world? Did you figure them out yourself?"
At that moment, Electrolux abruptly changed the subject. He was very curious. If Zhong Kui's original world was one without supernatural powers, had Zhong Kui developed the Dou Techniques and alchemy techniques he used all by himself?
"Those things were not originally mine. They came from another world, from a place called the Dou Qi Continent. But how did I obtain them? I can't tell you right now, because I truly don't know how to explain it."
Zhong Kui did not want to deceive Electrolux either. After all, Electrolux counted as a formidable fighting force. Once he recovered, he would at least be at the peak of Rank-Two God, perhaps around the level of a Rank-One God.
And he could summon an army of undead. Just imagine it—if Electrolux summoned an undead army to fight the God Realm, the God Realm would be in serious trouble.
Zhong Kui greatly disliked the order led by Tang San, so he intended to overthrow Tang San's rule.
Zhong Kui also knew he was not a good person. At the very least, he hoped this world could be a little fairer. Not absolutely fair, but fair enough that commoners had a way forward, had food to eat, and could eat their fill. Creating a relatively healthy order would be enough.
After all, Zhong Kui had lived in a country under the red flag. He also hoped that his friends and family could live happily under a healthy nation and order, surrounded by many friendly friends.
But the civilizational order led by Tang San was truly absurd. It had to be overthrown.
And there were organizations like Shrek. It was clearly an academy, yet what it did was the least like what an academy should do. It harmed many outstanding students, and joining the Inner Court meant one had to join the Supervision Group to hunt Evil Soul Masters.
It also demanded authority above that of nations. Honestly, it was absurd that Shrek had endured until now. If not for the Sun Moon Empire, perhaps Shrek would have long since been dealt with by the Douluo Three Kingdoms...
After all, Zhong Kui truly could not understand why the Douluo Three Kingdoms had tolerated things until now, and why they could still tolerate a force like Shrek.
So many outstanding geniuses had been poached by Shrek, all right?
