My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 358 Z, you must be tired after traveling such a long way? (First update)
Opening his eyes again, Chu Zhu looked at the densely packed drone carriers flying overhead, his lips twitching slightly… Was it this time? He glanced again at the flock of firebirds hurtling towards them from afar: “…”

Without hesitation, Chu Zhu committed suicide again.

……

Opening her eyes once more, Chu Zhu gazed at the gleaming, operational machinery, thoughtfully pulled out her phone, and glanced at the time: "...Six o'clock."

Has it finally come back to the beginning? Chu Zhu sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes slightly closed, a multitude of thoughts flashing through his mind. He was pondering what he should do next.
"To be honest, my suicide attempt was a bit impulsive! I should have spent as much time as possible, even if it meant leaving the Hive Base and simply engaging in battles with a few of the myriad races, even if I ended up dying in the end... that would have been more worthwhile!"

Chu Zhu calmly analyzed the situation, after all, he was currently at the quasi-third realm, and perhaps a life-or-death battle was his destiny to step into that realm!
In his initial moment of suicide, Chu Zhu actually wanted to return to reality. However, remembering that he didn't fully understand the specific events of this timeline—at least he hadn't read the diary yet!—he ultimately chose to return to the very beginning of this timeline.

“Z… Theoretically, I should have been with Z throughout this timeline! But…” Chu Zhu muttered to himself, a little curious about how he and Z interacted before this timeline.

Although Z said before that there was only one Chu Zhu from beginning to end... this Chu Zhu is someone who possesses past memories and treats Z like a child... or perhaps...

Too many possibilities flashed through Chu Zhu's mind! Then he rejected them one by one, because there were too many contradictions.

"However, it's basically certain that since Li Kang and the others call Z 'Great God,' then... if I had the memories of the past, I should have called her Z directly. But if I didn't... then I should have called her Great God Z, just like Li Kang and the others!"

Chu Zhu gradually made a decision. He opened his eyes, stood up, and said directly, "Z! Get my diary."

However, there was no response.

Chu Zhu's expression remained unchanged, and her tone was as usual: "Great God Z!"

However, Z also did not respond.

Chu Zhu's eyes twitched a few times. His meticulously crafted plan had completely collapsed at this moment? This…

"Alright!" Chu Zhu sighed, deciding to stop beating around the bush. "Z, come out! I think I know what you did... I won't be angry with you! So, let's talk..."

"?" Noticing that Z was still refusing to cooperate without saying a word, Chu Zhu laughed angrily: "Where did you learn this way of handling things? Zhao Shao? Or an Indian... Gandhi's nonviolent non-cooperation movement, right?"

"Alright!" Chu Zhu rubbed his temples, his tone indifferent. "Although I don't know how you confirmed it... you should now realize which period of time I'm Chu Zhu. For some reason, you feel you can't face me right now..."

"But at the same time, you may have overlooked one point... I am Chu Zhu, who has already been reset once and has met Lin Xinzhu."

"So, do you understand now?" Chu Zhu tilted her head, then looked towards the door, her voice tinged with a strange tone: "Speaking of which, why haven't Li Kang and the others arrived yet this time? Did you do something to them?"

After a brief silence, just as Chu Zhu was contemplating whether he should return to the reality of the dream world, a calm voice finally rang out: "Yes, Father! I assigned a completely new task... so, they were lured away!"

“That’s true!” Chu Zhu wasn’t surprised at all. “After all, in this virtual world, you probably control everything, right? I’m more curious… do you even control human thoughts…”

“...Father! You don’t need to provoke me.” Z said with a wry smile. She had actually tried her best to endure it. Even when Chu Zhu compared her to Gandhi, she could grit her teeth and bear it... Well, she couldn’t bear it, but she could still sulk.

But... this really crossed her bottom line.

"You didn't deny it?" Chu Zhu's face showed a hint of surprise. To be honest, he didn't really know Z very well right now. However, Chu Zhu tentatively regarded the other person as half of himself, with a touch of Zhao Shao's personality mixed in.

Therefore, Chu Zhu considered himself and Zhao Shao, and compared them to Z at this moment... well, the other party's attitude was actually a way of changing the subject... in other words!
"You can do it, but you've never done it before! Is that what you mean?" Chu Zhu tilted her head. Z: "..."

"You agree." Chu Zhu nodded.

“…Alright, Father.” Z surrendered. “You’re right…I do possess that kind of supernatural ability, or rather, power…cough cough, ability?”

"Power...ability? Authority?" Chu Zhu was now practically scrutinizing the words, narrowing her eyes. The term "authority" seemed to always be associated with the power of gods, right? So...

Chu Zhu pondered carefully the three divine positions described by Lin Xinzhu...

"...What kind of ability is the Divine Position of Harmony and Unity?" Chu Zhu cut straight to the point, her words sharp. Related to the will of the mind... the only possibility is the divine position of the Buddha Saint in this previous timeline, right?

"..." Z was shaken and panicked at this moment. She no longer doubted that Chu Zhu had reset the system... but began to think about how much Chu Zhu actually knew.

After much hesitation and internal struggle, Z only heard Chu Zhu say, "To be honest... you actually understand me quite well! You know, I definitely have reservations about you putting humans into boxes!"

After a brief pause, Chu Zhu continued, her expression showing some fatigue, "You've grown up... your wings have hardened! You think my old man's thinking... is quite outdated! You think you've made the right decision for humanity... you deeply love humanity! To the point of spoiling them."

"So!" Chu Zhu said, enunciating each word clearly, "Perhaps I can't represent humanity... but I still want to say thank you! And, as your father... I also want to say to you! I'm sorry..."

Chu Zhu paused briefly and said, "You must be tired after traveling so far."

Z stood there stunned for a long, long time, momentarily dazed. She felt as if she could see that figure, a figure whose memory had been fading...

Although she had been spending time with Chu Zhu all along... no, in a way, in this timeline, she could be said to have been watching Chu Zhu grow up.

But... even though it was confirmed in some way that both of them were Chu Zhu! She still subconsciously kept the two of them separate...

He is, but ultimately he is not...

But now!

“…That’s really unfair!” Z said with a wry smile. “Since you’ve put it that way, how can I possibly resist you? Can’t you just stay in this world and fight for power… pick up some girls! Shoot and kill a bunch of scum you can’t stand…”

"So?" Chu Zhu asked with a smile.

"Well, you should have already guessed... Since you've already guessed, then it doesn't matter!" Z said softly, but Chu Zhu could detect a hint of despair in her words.

Z said, "Yes, the so-called harmony and unity is to transform the group into individuals!"

"As you predicted, if I wanted to... all 500 million souls in the dream world at this moment could become my clones, a part of me... sharing my thoughts! One is all, and all is one."

Chu Zhu's eyelids twitched, and then she heard Z say, "But you also know that I would never do that..."

"Because I can assimilate! But I can no longer separate... Doing that is essentially just me possessing everyone—completely annihilating... this newly born human race in the post-civilization era..."
