My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 396 Chu Zhu: ? Nuwa, what do you mean by saying that the Heavenly God is the mother of my child?
"You don't know..." Nuwa's voice regained its coldness. Then, as if realizing something, she paused.

"Speak!" Chu Zhu forcibly suppressed the turmoil in her heart and spoke concisely.

Nuwa's relatively normal eye flickered, as if she was still struggling and hesitating. However, her mouth seemed to be completely out of her control, ignoring the struggle of her normal eye: "He who bears the stain of the nation is called the master of the state."

Chu Zhu's brow twitched slightly as she calmly considered the matter. This quote comes from Chapter 78 of the *Tao Te Ching*, meaning that only those who can endure the humiliation of their nation are worthy of being called its ruler. It embodies the responsibility and magnanimity a leader should possess… but clearly, Nuwa here means—

“This is another good son of yours, the grand ceremony established by King Wen of Chu!” Nuwa said calmly.

Chu Zhu calmly considered the matter. King Wen of Chu... the founding monarch of the Great Chu! So he was also his son... what a load of rubbish!
Can someone explain to him what's going on? Chu Zhu really couldn't hold back this time.

Nuwa paused briefly, organizing her thoughts: "The pollution of the world will be absorbed into the emperor's body... The stronger the emperor's cultivation, the more pollution he can bear! And the more stable the world will be... Of course, in this way, the emperor himself will also suffer greatly, and may even make some foolish decisions in his later years..."

Nuwa's still relatively normal eye drooped dejectedly, as if she had given up the struggle. At this moment, her voice carried a hint of resignation.

"If I remember correctly, King Wen, King You, Emperor Che Shi, and... Su Zheng, who rebuilt and unified the entire world, standardized the gauge of carts and the written language, were all extremely powerful figures like this..."

"Apart from Su Zheng, who made a decisive decision to abdicate and leave to a more capable person when he was about to fall into a period of incompetence, and went far away to the stars... the others basically all... even King You directly ruined the country and the state because of this."

Chu Zhu stood there stunned for a long time before finally smiling with relief. But the laughter was mixed with too many emotions: surprise, astonishment, and bewilderment.

"This is truly... beyond my expectations!"

Nuwa gazed calmly at Chu Zhu: "Since you are not prepared... then things are going to get complicated."

Chu Zhu closed her eyes and remained silent for a long, long time before finally sorting out her chaotic thoughts.

"...So, this is the fundamental reason why Su Bo, that unworthy descendant, doesn't cultivate?" Chu Zhu asked rhetorically. When he saw Su Bo being tied to Su Buqun's back and fleeing, he realized...this guy might really be a mortal.

He had been wondering about it for a while! Now he feels that everything makes sense.

“Yes!” Nuwa nodded: “In their mortal state, pollution naturally won’t seep into them… In fact, due to their unique characteristics, mortal emperors are actually in a state of immunity to pollution…”

"what?"

"It's very simple, because the pollution from a mortal emperor... will flow into the country and be borne by all the people."

Chu Zhu: "..."

Chu Zhu felt this was absolutely explosive.

No wonder, even though he hasn't cultivated, Su Bo seems to know everything...

"Is there any other measure to protect mortal emperors from being killed by superhumans...?" Chu Zhu asked expressionlessly.

“Yes…” Nuwa thought for a moment, “This is also King Wen’s arrangement… Any extraordinary person who disrespects a mortal emperor will be more deeply corrupted… Of course, this requires showing disrespect to the emperor face-to-face; simply complaining in private is fine…”

"If they directly attack and dare to harm the emperor... then there's no need to say more... if they kill the emperor... those who haven't become gods will almost certainly lose control!"

"...Okay! That's not important for now." Chu Zhu rubbed her throbbing temples, struggling to steer the conversation back on track, and said, "So... explain to me what's going on with my two adopted sons?!"

No… could it be some kind of cryogenics? Sealing all his children directly into the future… But if that technology really exists, why doesn't Lin Xinzhu develop a future-support technology, pack up a bunch of time travelers from the past, and send them to the future to restart civilization? Just throwing his two sons over here… That's toxic…

"Sperm and egg combine!" Nuwa's cold words poured cold water on Chu Zhu, making him realize the truth belatedly.

Yes, since his reproductive cells are present, and even the royal families of the Great Chu and Great Qian are his descendants, then the original source of the bloodline of these two countries can naturally be traced back to the child directly synthesized using reproductive cells.

I just didn't expect it...

"...Nuwa, you're a ruthless person!" Chu Zhu's voice was tinged with a hint of gritted teeth, his emotions at this moment were extremely complicated.

He now understands the situation... Nuwa is clearly using his son as a tool to suppress unrest!
What was the situation with the Great Chu Dynasty? It was established during a period of collapse of the Heavenly Court and the disintegration of order!
A deep look appeared in Chu Zhu's eyes. According to the history books he had read before, if the Heavenly Court period belonged to mythology, then the Great Chu was precisely in the transition period from mythology to the mortal world.

Even though mythology contains far too many mystical and superstitious elements... after learning the truth, Chu Zhu read these myths and deduced key information, still managing to obtain many crucial clues—

King Wen of Chu faced an incredibly difficult situation. He was dealing with a group of ordinary people whose minds were filled with faith but who had little culture and power... and even, at that time, there were a large number of savages...

After the collapse of the Heavenly Court, a myriad of races attempted to launch a counterattack, reclaim the entire world, and turn humanity back into food! He rose from the ruins, inheriting the legacy of Nuwa's first base, quelling the turmoil, enfeoffing various states, and initially establishing the system of human feudal states! He became King Wen of Chu, the Son of Heaven of Chu, revered by many feudal lords…

As for the Great Qian Dynasty, there's no need to say more!

King You of Chu was tyrannical, forcing all the feudal lords to place their first heirs in the palace, even turning these heirs into his own harem... He frequently made outrageous pronouncements, claiming that all the feudal states were one family and should be unified—

Forced into a corner, some feudal lords even invited northern barbarians into the pass, which led to the emergence of the Great Che regime, a foreign power.

Although the Great Che Dynasty lasted less than a century, the culture of the entire world was almost completely severed... and bloodlines were completely usurped! Even the first child of every woman after marriage had to be a descendant of one of the Twenty-Four Banners...

At that time, the tradition of smashing the firstborn child even emerged to ensure the continuation of the bloodline!
Emperor Taizu of the Great Qian Dynasty, wielding a three-foot sword, swept across the land, pacifying it in just six or seven years—he standardized cart axles and written language, establishing the first unified empire. His achievements are beyond description…

All that remains is the assessment that, since ancient times, no one has been able to establish a legitimate dynasty like the Great Qian!
These two people...

“…Okay!” Chu Zhu rubbed her temples. “Can you tell me the mother of my two children… no, I should say the source of their eggs! Or was it just a random choice?”

Chu Zhu meant it casually, but then he was astonished to find that Nuwa had stopped talking.

"?" Chu Zhu's gaze gradually sharpened.

"...The first child's mother was Guan Qianyu!" Nuwa suddenly spoke.

Chu Zhu felt a slight ripple in his heart, but wasn't overly surprised. After all, they were husband and wife in one of his lives, or rather, several of his lives… a biological genius admired by his good brother! Perhaps even this Miss Guan had some involvement in this post-apocalyptic plan to recreate humanity…

"So, is there a problem with the mother of the second child?" Chu Zhu laughed. Undoubtedly, Nuwa was changing the subject!
Nuwa remained silent.

"...I'm very curious, what is this problem?" One possibility after another flashed through Chu Zhu's mind. He murmured, "Is there a problem with the bloodline? Could it be that the maternal lineage is from some top ancestor among all races... Don't tell me... No, the probability of that is not high!"

Chu Zhu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. Her identity was so sensitive that it couldn't be spoken of... The most likely explanation was that she belonged to one of the myriad races! But even so, this shouldn't be revealed to outsiders... because it would affect the legitimacy of the Great Qian Dynasty's rule!
But no matter what, as a father, he has the right to listen.
"...Yes, a certain deity?" Chu Zhu's words were resolute.

then……

Nuwa's face turned extremely cold at this moment, and even her remaining eye was stained with a touch of black.

Chu Zhu: "???"

What the hell……

Before the bewildered Chu Zhu could say anything more, the black light erupted again and swept across the area.

……

At Nuwa Base No. 17.

Chu Zhu felt a chill run down her spine: "No... what did I do to provoke her this time?"

This is outrageous! They actually made Nuwa turn evil... Judging from her appearance, she has clearly fallen into a state of corruption...

This kind of outrageous situation never happened last time!
However, on the other hand...

"She really is a god?!" Chu Zhu's expression froze. Nuwa's look of having her sore spot hit made the answer obvious... So the next question is...

"Who exactly is it?" Chu Zhu was a bit confused. He thought about the many gods he knew, and he even speculated, rather unreverently, whether it was Nuwa or... cough cough... but considering that these two are artificial intelligence, the chances were slim!

"A Confucian sage? Surely not a Buddhist sage... That's terrifying!"

Chu Zhu was drenched in sweat: "But I don't know if they're male or female... The only female deities I know of are Nuwa and... um?!"

Chu Zhu's movements suddenly froze. He was drenched in sweat, and his mind went blank.

Because he was shocked to discover... he also knew about a female deity!

"...The Heavenly Emperor!"
