My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 359 Buddha and Z! Z's cross-world blessing targeting Buddha! (Second update)
To be honest, Chu Zhu's first reaction upon hearing about Z's ability was—Oh no! Buddha Saint.

At that moment, Chu Zhu felt a chill run down her spine.

Especially when I think of those towering Buddhist temples on the vast snowy plains of the southwest, those temples preaching across the land of the Great Qian—

At this moment, in Chu Zhu's mind, these things seemed to have turned into black holes that only went in and never came out!
If Z can accomplish all this through the virtual world, then, if the Buddha wanted to, could he also unify all Buddhist disciples?

Chu Zhu had previously thought that this "unification" was essentially a conversion... but now he realized that his perspective was too narrow, and this was far more terrifying than a conversion.

"...And if I remember correctly, Zhang Hai also seems to be..." Cold sweat beaded on Chu Zhu's forehead. For a moment, he even wondered if... Zhang Hai was actually acting against him?
That "Buddha Saint" is actually a super-enhanced version of the Cat of Destiny... All the Buddhist disciples, even those who have served in Buddhism, are actually using his disguise... So Zhang Hai is one too! It's possible...

“Calm down, Father,” Z said softly.

In that instant, Chu Zhu fell silent, as if disturbed by some inexplicable force. He felt clear-headed and his mind was crystal clear, unlike anything he had ever experienced before.

Closing her eyes, Chu Zhu calmed herself down, collected her thoughts, and let out a long breath: "Thank you!"

Chu Zhu realized... she must have been overthinking it.

Because in one of his abandoned timelines, he had also entered a Buddhist temple and become a Buddhist disciple! There was no immediate reset... or any other abnormal situation.

but……

Chu Zhu felt that she should be more cautious when interacting with Buddhist disciples in the future.

"...Is it because you encountered a being similar to me in another timeline? But did you have a bad relationship with it?" Z asked tentatively.

Chu Zhu was genuinely amazed. It has to be said, perhaps due to his experience, Z's abilities are truly far superior to the current version of Lin Xinzhu… That's a very insightful observation!
"Hmm!" Z paused for a moment, and a halo suddenly appeared in the void, directly covering Chu Zhu's head. Chu Zhu frowned, but did not resist, because he believed that Z would not harm him.

then……

Chu Zhu sensed something unusual. He blinked, and a look of astonishment suddenly appeared on his face. He felt a halo of light inexplicably appear in his mind.

With a thought, Chu Zhu touched the halo, and his whole body shone with divine light. He was inexplicably filled with a peaceful aura, and a huge wheel of merit spun behind him.

"...What are you doing!" Chu Zhu's lips twitched slightly.

“A guarantee!” Z’s voice carried a hint of weariness at this moment, clearly indicating that even for her, creating something like this was no easy task: “However, I’m not sure… whether you can ‘take this away’…”

Chu Zhu glanced deeply at the direction of the metal ceiling... It seems that his good brother revealed quite a lot—Z even seems to know about different world lines... No, Z probably even knows about the Buddha Saint.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be able to effectively stop me from being assimilated?" Chu Zhu put away the Golden Wheel of Merit.

Z didn't answer, but Chu Zhu rubbed her temples, somewhat amused and exasperated: "Z, you're just overthinking it!"

Z: "...?"

"If I could really take him away... at the same time, unfortunately, that guy wants to assimilate me..." Chu Zhu said casually, "If I could really stop him, wouldn't that pique his interest instead? Put yourself in his shoes... what do you think his next reaction would be?"

Z was speechless for a moment: "Then..." "If you keep taking them away, can you replenish your power?" Chu Zhu asked again, and Z was choked again: "It seems not! Then you'd better not take them back..."

"But to be honest... I don't even know if you did it on purpose!"

Chu Zhu shook his head. Why did he inexplicably feel a sense of being a silly beauty? Or perhaps, Z was simply deliberately creating this cute and silly image in front of him.

"Although it might seem a bit useless when you encounter Him, it's still very useful in ordinary times! Anyway, thank you." Chu Zhu still expressed her gratitude.

He could come up with a multitude of uses effortlessly...

For example, if the Buddha doesn't actually manifest in the world often... then if he were to go to the abbots of those Buddhist temples with this merit wheel... emmm, I feel like their expressions would be quite interesting.
Chu Zhu was filled with anticipation, wondering if he could persuade the Buddhist forces in Tianjing to directly pledge allegiance to him during the next attack on Tianjing. Although the power of the Buddhist forces in Tianjing was far inferior to that of the God Worshipping Society, everything had to be compared, and Buddhism was definitely not weak!
Considering the terrifyingly vast area of ​​the Snow Mountain Region, which is almost comparable to the entire South or North... even if, due to environmental issues, it supports a much smaller population than places like Jiangnan and the Central Plains, the top experts of this sect are absolutely a terrifying bargaining chip capable of shaking the entire balance!
“...Father, there’s no need for all this thanking between us, is there?” Z sighed. Why be so distant? “You can tell from how I address you! So, be more comfortable around me... be more at ease! If you want to scold me, I don’t mind.”

"Okay!" Chu Zhu nodded without hesitation, then ruthlessly stabbed Z in the back: "Then I want to ask... didn't you say you don't interfere with a person's will? How did you make my mind instantly clear?"

Z: "..."

“Is there any possibility?” Z’s words were filled with deep doubt, as if he were questioning the meaning of life: “I was actually just… temporarily injected with some sedative drugs inside your hibernation pod.”

Chu Zhu: "...?"

Holy crap! Is this even possible? Chu Zhu was shocked. And yet, you clearly possess the ability to interfere with wills, but you don't, preferring to go to the trouble of injecting drugs into the body in the real world when needed—Chu Zhu was speechless for a moment. There were just too many things to complain about!

"You really have principles!" Chu Zhu's thousand words could only be summed up in this one sentence.

"...It's not as good as you say!" Z chuckled.

"I wasn't praising you!" Chu Zhu said expressionlessly. He pursed his lips and finally sighed heavily. "Alright... my dear daughter, so... why don't you want to let me see my diary?"

Z: "..."

Even after going this far... is this topic still unavoidable?

"I've already said that no matter what happens, I will forgive you... After all, I know you didn't betray humanity, isn't that enough?" Chu Zhu said sincerely, but his words gradually became sharp: "Or perhaps, the diary records... that you killed me?"

"...How is that possible!" After struggling for a long time, Z finally said, "Alright! I can show you some...diary entries that aren't too polluted, or rather, the pollution is within your tolerance range...Actually, you can ask me any questions you want! I will explain anything you can know frankly...Diaries are really unnecessary."

"You should have said so earlier!" Chu Zhu's expression changed instantly, and she nodded with a smile. "I knew you were my good daughter!"

Then, he stared intently at the light screen projected in front of him—to be honest, if Z were an AI, he would definitely ask directly if he had any doubts… Unfortunately, Z is artificial intelligence now!
Artificial intelligence can lie...

Chu Zhu silently complained, "Z never tells the truth, he's such a scoundrel... Where did he learn that from? Zhao Shao?"

After much hesitation, Z realized that Chu Zhu was determined not to change her mind, and in the end, he could only grit his teeth and nervously display the contents of the diary on the screen...
