My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 388 Farewell, Pope! Light and Memory!

"However, since Nuwa's problem is pollution, then..."

Chu Zhu looked towards the metal ceiling. Z must be having the same problem now, right?
"We'll know once we go to Mars!"

Shaking his head, Chu Zhu's brows furrowed. "There's another point I can't understand... why didn't Nuwa tell me before that pollution was a supernatural power, especially emotions... Oh!"

Chu Zhu belatedly realized that Nuwa might not have known what she could tell him and what she couldn't. Or rather, the AI ​​couldn't determine it! So it chose the most conservative approach... As for Nuwa's unreserved narration, that was naturally because she was half-mad.

Even Chu Zhu himself didn't know what he could know... or what he couldn't know... He completely relied on sealing his memories and experimenting on himself to pinpoint exactly what he could know.

"Troublesome!" Chu Zhu sighed. "So... what should we do next?"

Chu Zhu closed his eyes and pondered for more than ten minutes before finally making up his mind: "Let's continue! But this time, we won't go to the Fengshan ceremony; we'll just awaken Nuwa."

Then, Chu Zhu picked up the little mushroom head and continued with the previous actions.

At eight o'clock, following Huo Qiming, Hu Kaikang successfully walked out of the underground base.

By further streamlining the previous procedures and by bringing in Huo Qiming as a henchman to clear away obstacles that would waste his time getting into the underground temple... everything was ready by 1:30 p.m.!

As early as 11:00 AM, after Chu Zhu finished conquering the Nuwa Base in the Dajiang Industrial Belt and headed north, he issued an order for some drones in these areas to begin heading north! So, by 1:45 PM, enough drones had been gathered near the capital.

Finally, with Chu Zhu's command...

……

Half past two in the afternoon.

Most of the world was once again under Chu Zhu's control.

However, Chu Zhu did not show up in the capital from beginning to end this time. To be more precise, he never went to the capital. All kinds of commands were basically airdropped through Nuwa and the Hive, cosplaying the micro-management of a certain transport captain.

Chu Zhu traveled at breakneck speed in an unmanned shuttle to Tianjing, where she met the Pope again.

"...Should I now address you as Mr. Zhu, or Your Majesty the Chu Emperor?" The Pope stared at Chu Zhu's face, a wry smile appearing on his lips. He was clearly questioning the meaning of life.

"Whatever you want!" Chu Zhu was very casual, not taking the so-called throne seriously at all, and went straight to the point: "I can promise you the status of the state religion! But you must promise me one thing."

The Pope paused, his mind racing, his breath catching in his throat for a moment. Yes, the Great Qian Dynasty stubbornly refused to allow any religion to become the state religion because of the founding emperor's death order... But the man before him had established a new dynasty, so naturally, he had the final say!
"..." The Pope's expression turned devout. "Do you want my support? No problem!"

"I am issuing orders right now... that all churches in the God-Worshipping Society in various regions must do everything in their power to suppress any emerging cult forces!"

"Okay!" Chu Zhu nodded, even though he knew that his nod would bring great risks to future generations... However, the premise of this matter was... that it would not be reset, otherwise it would not count.

"Do you know Ji Lan?" Chu Zhu spoke again. "There's no doubt he'll attack me next... so I need you to send some powerful bodyguards!"

Chu Zhu's next target is the headquarters of Company C, but... even if he has already taken over the world, it is almost inevitable that he will be attacked next - as long as the information about his arrival is leaked!
The Pope frowned and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he carefully said, "Within the entire God-Worshipping Church in Tianjing, there are only two people who can keep him under control!"

"? You guys are so weak?" Chu Zhu was shocked. He knew that of the two the Pope was talking about, one of them must be the Pope himself... This was completely unexpected by Chu Zhu.

"...Have you underestimated this great Confucian scholar?" The Pope smiled wryly again: "Tianjing is known as one of the two capitals, and it's also home to the God-Worshipping Society... You know, the capital... well, has never really trusted Western religious sects!" Under these circumstances, the person the court sent to oversee this Jiangnan region... by any measure, couldn't be weak!

"So, you're coming with me personally?" Chu Zhu gazed at the Pope with great interest.

"...Please forgive me for being unable to leave!" the Pope said quite frankly. "In fact, five years ago, I was basically unable to leave the headquarters of the Catholic Church for more than five minutes! Only here can my soul find some solace..."

"I see, I see!" Chu Zhu recalled his past encounter with the Pope, a look of understanding appearing in his eyes. It seemed the Pope's condition was also very poor, and this method was necessary to prevent him from being corrupted. He paused briefly, then said, "And the remaining one..."

“…Her.” The Pope frowned, pondered for a long while, and then said, “How about this, I will keep a close eye on you! If anyone attacks you… I will act immediately! Don’t worry, I will definitely be able to get there in time…”

After a brief pause, a faint smile appeared on the Pope's face, and his voice carried a hint of confidence: "When I am needed... I have never been unable to arrive in time."

"?" Chu Zhu's expression stiffened for a moment. Are you serious? You're just bragging! If this is true... why didn't you go to Jinghai's place before because of the problem...?

As she was complaining, Chu Zhu suddenly realized something and placed her hand on the Pope's shoulder with a strange expression: "Don't resist! I've already given you this promise... You shouldn't mind if I do something a little excessive!"

"?!" The Pope was clearly confused, but he ultimately managed to suppress the urge to retaliate.

Chu Zhu began her analysis with a serious expression.

Supernatural power: light
First Supernatural Power: Purifying Light – Purifies negative states to a certain extent!
Second Divine Power: Light Bullet – Using light as a projectile! Possesses considerable destructive power… Initially, it has the power of a bullet; as cultivation increases, it will gradually acquire the power of cannonballs, missiles, and even higher-level projectiles…

The third supernatural power: Transformation into Light – One can transform into light, possessing unparalleled speed. However, it's impossible to precisely reach a specific location… one can easily overtake others!

A look of astonishment appeared in Chu Zhu's eyes. Strong... incredibly strong!
Recovery, attack, speed! All three are developed in an almost comprehensive way.

However... this one, unable to pinpoint a specific location, is truly remarkable!
Chu Zhu forcibly suppressed the urge to continue complaining, recalling the Pope's words, "I have never been late"... After hesitating for a moment, she chose to use her Destiny Divine Power.

Then, Chu Zhu maximized his luck. Then, he chose to replicate... Although the power of the Destiny Divine Ability had not yet dissipated, one of the three divine ability slots became empty the moment it was used.

The Pope gave Chu Zhu a deep look, but said nothing more. He waited quietly.

After a few breaths, Chu Zhu was slightly out of breath, and a few beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. Although it wasn't extremely strenuous, replicating it was definitely not easy for him. It required consuming one-third of his blessings.

The next instant, the Pope placed his hand on Chu Zhu's shoulder. Chu Zhu glanced at the Pope strangely, then his pupils contracted as he was astonished to find that the blessing power within him had been restored to its full strength. Recalling what he had explored earlier, his voice carried a hint of uncertainty: "...Purification?"

“…I see.” The Pope nodded thoughtfully. Now that he understood that Chu Zhu knew about his supernatural powers, he naturally assumed that the anomaly he had sensed earlier must have been Chu Zhu’s spying. He immediately said, “Yes! Purification.”

"..." Chu Zhu didn't know what expression to make for a moment. This so-called purification of all negative effects meant that it wasn't just about healing injuries, but even energy depletion could be purified... making energy full again?!
This is outrageous! This is incredible power!
Fortunately, this supernatural power is now his...

Of course, Chu Zhu was also thinking about whether the recovery of his memory supernatural power could achieve a similar effect in the future, and fully restore the energy in his body when using it.

If that were possible... wouldn't it create a kind of perpetual motion machine? Blessings... would never run out!

Chu Zhu felt a surge of excitement, but he forced himself to calm down and made up his mind: next time, he would have his good brother do some serious research...
