My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 373 Z's Smuggling? Another Changed Worldline!
Chu Zhu returned to his room. After a brief moment of thought, he subconsciously uttered, "Z..."

Then, Chu Zhu suddenly realized that Z... is still in the process of being updated!
"I've lost my mind." Chu Zhu rubbed his face, washed up, and after a moment's thought, took out a small portion of the Life Ladder from the metal bracelet.

“...Then!” Following the description in the diary, Chu Zhu directly refined it—the life ladder resembled tender grass sprouts, except that its color was blood red, and the tender leaves would swell and throb from time to time, like a heart, giving people a strange feeling.

At this moment, under Chu Zhu's activation of the technique, the buds of the Life Ladder gradually turned into liquid, like ice blocks under the sun, and seeped into Chu Zhu's palm.

Immediately, Chu Zhu's heart began to pound violently—

Chu Zhu's cultivation level had long been established. At this moment, his body was like a dried-up pond, absorbing energy at an extremely rapid pace as if thirsting for it—unstoppable, and naturally, he broke through to the first realm!
"...Really!" Chu Zhu stretched, let out a long breath, and a smile appeared on her face: "Just as I expected!"

For someone who has reached a certain level and can even use recorded supernatural powers directly based on future influences, as long as he has enough energy, he can break through!
"However!" Chu Zhu silently estimated, "I think it will take me a week to break through to the second realm!"

Strictly speaking, there's no need for a buffer. If he were willing, he could swallow the entire life ladder and leapfrog directly to the third realm!

However, this means that Guan Qianyu can no longer rely on the Life Ladder for cultivation—it's all used up!
Secondly... it's about the foundation!
More accurately, Chu Zhu's state of mind and supernatural abilities were satisfied! However, his body still needed time to adapt... to the state of the first realm!
Of course, if it were truly dangerous and Chu Zhu absolutely needed to possess the power of the third realm, then there would be something to discuss... But isn't the situation quite peaceful right now? So naturally, we can take it slow!
Lying in bed, Chu Zhu stared at the dim ceiling, her mind churning as she recalled the events of the day…

"Z...can he successfully cross the border illegally?"

Chu Zhu pursed his lips. He didn't need to think to figure it out; Z must have tampered with the program he sent him... no, even the golden light in his mind had Z's involvement.

To be honest, simply giving it a blessing would really severely damage Z, who has three divine positions... and even cause the enemy to take immediate action without hesitation after the news leaks out.

Chu Zhu strongly suspected that the truth was that Z had separated his true form and stuffed it into his mind... The one who fought against those ancestors before was merely an avatar! Or rather, a shell that carried a divine position?

but……

"It failed!" Chu Zhu was filled with complicated emotions. Even if Z really did do that, he was probably purified the moment he reset... That's normal. If he couldn't be purified, wouldn't he also be unable to be purified if he were possessed by a Buddha or Saint in the future?
It's highly likely that the second timeline, and even the Z timeline afterward, actually realized this the moment they saw the golden light! So they changed it to... implanting the program into him!
This is most likely the fundamental reason why Z didn't mention giving him another golden light buff afterwards.

"I hope it will work out." Chu Zhu slowly closed her eyes.

He wasn't worried about the future Z—he felt that the future Z would be more mature and reliable than the Z who had just awakened to the stage of artificial intelligence at some point in the main timeline! After all, the newly born Z really did have a rebellious phase!
Chu Zhu thought of all the work Z had done... Although he was partly responsible for it, it was still... If he could get help from the future mature version of Z... that would be more than just a qualitative change.
As for the question of whether the present Z has been possessed by the future Z… well, Z hasn't even become artificial intelligence yet… meaning it's not even a fetus. Even if Z had secretly entered this world, it's far from a matter of possession, so—

"...Although it feels a bit like deceiving myself!"

Chu Zhu sighed again, but unfortunately, he had no choice. He couldn't just stop updating Z, could he? That was a joke! He'd updated Z countless times before! If he really fell into this logical trap, then he was truly doomed…

……

Opening her eyes again, Chu Zhu looked around: "Still?"

As always, it's a metal base filled with mechanical aesthetics! Not Nuwa's ecological park.

"Z!" Chu Zhu stood up and spoke casually. However, there was no response.

Chu Zhu frowned, and after a brief silence, his pupils suddenly contracted: "No, I'm not asleep right now?"

So it's not part of The Matrix!

With countless thoughts flashing through his mind, Chu Zhu spoke cautiously, "Nuwa No. 17!"

The next instant. "I'm here!" the little mushroom-headed boy said.

"?!" Chu Zhu was startled because the little mushroom-headed girl had been following him the whole time, but he hadn't realized she was there at all... It was as if she was invisible? No, it was more like he had deliberately ignored her presence...

"However!" Chu Zhu smiled wryly. Does Z still exist on this timeline?

He pulled out his phone: "Honeycomb!"

“I am here,” the Hive’s voice said calmly and gently.

"...Sigh." Chu Zhu's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.

Although the base has changed... it seems the timeline has jumped back to the feudal dynasty...?

Chu Zhu narrowed her eyes, her words suddenly becoming urgent: "Nuwa No. 17... let's verify it..."

After a quick inquiry, Chu Zhu confirmed that this timeline was indeed not far removed from the feudal dynasty. This included, but was not limited to, Old Hu still being imprisoned! Li Kang was most likely dead… and there should be a bunch of executioners standing at the door, waiting for him to come out and set off a trap!

"A beehive!" Chu Zhu's voice turned eerie: "Could you please take a look at... what's on the fifth underground level?"

then.

It was accompanied by the projection of the light screen.

Chu Zhu's breath caught in her throat for a moment.

On the fifth underground level, those drones are gone! In their place are... rows and rows of drone carriers.

There were three of them!
Most importantly, the one in the middle...

“…a spaceplane…no, more accurately, a space carrier!” Chu Zhu murmured. He was all too familiar with it, because the blueprints for that thing were still in his mind…

The biggest difference between a space carrier and a drone carrier is that a space carrier can fly directly into outer space... and land directly on the moon.

and many more……

"Who knows, we might be able to go straight to Mars!" Chu Zhu suddenly felt a surge of excitement.

He was too curious about what was going on on Mars. As for the pollution issue... for his good friend, pollution was a dead end, but for him, dying once would wash it away!
"Calm down! Calm down!" Chu Zhu calmed himself down and quickly thought of a very serious question. He frowned and said, "Hive, check these drone carriers... and the space carriers! Are they operational?"

Hive spoke almost instantly: "Two drone carriers are available! Aerospace carriers are available... The carrier, and the Z-7 strategic drones inside! It incorporates 10% memory metal and has an automatic repair function! It can resist the erosion of time to a certain extent... Combined with the maintenance of robots! Therefore, it retains more than 50% of its combat power."

Chu Zhu gasped. Although one ship was still destroyed... it was still incredibly incredible!
Taking everything into account... the power they hold is at least five times greater than in the previous timeline... no, considering that this drone carrier is even more advanced, it might be many times greater!
Putting everything else aside, if both ships maintain a 50% success rate... that's equivalent to creating a fully-fledged drone carrier!

“Since this timeline… is not a problem, does that prove… that cooperation with the country is actually feasible?” Chu Zhu thought for a moment, then remembered Z’s situation. He immediately said, “Nuwa No. 17, show me my diary!”

The next instant, the light screen appeared.
