My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 415 Nuwa No. 17: Secretary-General, I am the Demon City!

Chu Zhu sat on the wheelless vehicle, gazing out the window. This vehicle was no ordinary maglev car—it was an anti-gravity car!

Having successfully broken through historical limits, human civilization, which has continued for more than 3,000 years since the 21st century, has broken through and mastered many unimaginable technologies, even after experiencing setbacks along the way.

only……

"...How could this happen?" Chu Zhu murmured.

"What's wrong?" Li Kang, who was driving, turned around instantly.

"It's nothing." Chu Zhu shook his head. Li Kang opened his mouth, but ultimately kept driving. Chu Zhu's gaze was deep; what he saw was a scene beyond his imagination.

Compared to the once flat plains of Shanghai, the city now sits atop a vast, continuous "mountain." Skyscrapers dot the mountainside... but the number of people walking on the streets is surprisingly small!
Moreover, most of these people walking around were wearing heavy, spacesuit-like clothing... clearly to avoid pollution!

Chu Zhu belatedly realized that although there was protective equipment, and although it seemed that this equipment could be sold... it was not something that everyone could afford... From a certain perspective, wearing normal-shaped clothes and walking on the street was a symbol of 'upper class'?

As Chu Zhu pondered, she recalled the information she had gleaned from Ning Linglong and the others.

Shanghai is no longer a city built on the ground. To be more precise, Shanghai is now a behemoth—the seventeenth behemoth, the Earth Dragon!

The anti-gravity vehicle, flying extremely high at this moment, allowed Chu Zhu to roughly assess the giant mountain that occupied the plains of the Magic City, and barely sketch out the outline of a four-legged earth dragon...

Chu Zhu pursed her lips. In an emergency, the authorities in Shanghai could forcibly awaken the earth dragon, sending it either into the nearby sea or into the boundless universe...

At that time, the people who lived on it and built cities would flee into its body—the earth dragon had a huge size comparable to a city, and at the same time, it had its own enormous ecosystem!

Essentially, the earth dragon is a living alien ecological vessel. However, it also possesses terrifying power! It can fight off invading enemies attempting to invade its body in emergencies.

“Genetic technology, genetic technology.” Chu Zhu chewed on the word, then suddenly gave a bitter smile. They had truly embarked on a completely different path from before. He said, “So, the female… that base we were in before was…!”

Li Kang frowned slightly, wondering if it was even necessary to ask such a question. Ning Linglong was somewhat puzzled, but still answered, "Isn't that... the heart of the earth dragon?"

"I see." Chu Zhu stopped asking questions and began to ponder a very serious one: what was the relationship between Nuwa No. 17 and the Earth Dragon? The Earth Dragon was the No. 17 behemoth, two No. 17s, plus the location of Nuwa... it would be strange if they weren't related!
and……

"What is the earth dragon's fighting power comparable to?" Chu Zhu pondered to himself. "Did Nuwa have a method for creating it...? Hmm, maybe I can ask her when I go back, or in my next life..."

Suddenly, Chu Zhu felt a sudden, inexplicable pang of anxiety: "Wait a moment..."

The words were not finished.

Ahead, a black sphere suddenly appeared, expanding at an alarming rate. Even though Li Kang realized something was wrong and tried to escape, it was too late. The black sphere possessed an extremely powerful gravitational pull, instantly engulfing the anti-gravity car.

The next moment, everything began to reverse.

……

When Chu Zhu opened her eyes again, she looked at the anti-gravity car beneath her, then glanced at Li Kang, who was still driving beside her, and her eye twitched.

No, another life gone just like that?! What happened?!

At this moment, Chu Zhu doubted whether he was really the so-called Crown Prince. Was this all the security measures were for the Crown Prince? He could easily die on the spot while traveling with any pope!

"Where's Su Bo?" Chu Zhu cursed inwardly. He had seemed to be constantly monitoring her before, but now that she really needed him, he had vanished.

"However, there is an even worse possibility!"

Chu Zhu suddenly realized something, and her breath caught in her throat for a moment. That was, Su Bo knew about this assassination attempt, and might even have tacitly approved of it! No, there was at least a fifty percent chance that Su Bo was behind it…

Chu Zhu's gaze was deep and unfathomable. And the method to verify this was quite simple.

Chu Zhu waited quietly, glancing at the time from time to time. When it was almost time, she spoke in a moment of pounding heart: "God of Nations and Conquest, Subo!"

At that moment, Li Kang froze.

The next moment, the black hole swallowed the anti-gravity car again.

"...Just as I suspected!" Chu Zhu glanced around the Nuwa base, her expression unchanged. Su Bo was an insider; she just didn't know if it was Su Bo who assassinated him, or...

But if it really was him who assassinated him, it would be normal... after all, in the previous timeline, Su Bo also sent someone to assassinate him.

"A dead end?" Chu Zhu pondered. Undoubtedly, Su Bo had already noticed him! In fact, he didn't even need to say it aloud; just thinking about it was enough to likely cause problems… After all, Chu Zhu hadn't forgotten how, when he thought of the big orange cat before, that cat had practically pressed its face against his. And that cat hadn't even become a god yet…

Of course, it's also possible that the big orange cat is extremely special, possessing a supernatural power that allows her to sense things simply by remembering them. But ordinary deities require their names to be spoken… for them to respond! However…

For Chu Zhu, it makes no difference for now! In any case, she's definitely being watched.

Countless thoughts flashed through Chu Zhu's mind before she calmly asked, "Nuwa No. 17! What is your relationship with the giant beast?"

"?" The light screen projected into the void reflected Nuwa No. 17's confusion: "This unit is Behemoth No. 17! Secretary General, what are you saying?"

"???" Chu Zhu was stunned for a moment. After sorting out her thoughts, she realized that Z seemed to have cloned her own body with flesh and blood? Then it would be normal for Nuwa to have cloned her own body with flesh and blood as well... what the hell!
Chu Zhu recalled the size of the earth dragon she had seen before, and a chill ran down her spine. Moreover, this was just a secondary phone; following this logic… wouldn't that mean that Yanjing is now Nuwa's true form?
Oh my god, that scared me to death!
Chu Zhu silently wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and calmly explained, "Could you please show me the information on anti-gravity? Ideally, I'd like to write a novel recently! It's about how things would develop if we traveled back to the 21st century... So, could you simulate it for me? Simulate how anti-gravity devices could be developed with early 21st-century technology? That way, I won't have to do all sorts of research when I get back!"

After a brief silence, Nuwa No. 17 said, "It's almost impossible to replicate!"

“…Alright.” Chu Zhu’s eye twitched, and after a moment of thought, his eyes brightened slightly: “Then, show me all the achievements of the first and second genetic revolutions! To be precise, the core achievements…all of them.”

At that moment, a light screen appeared. Chu Zhu breathed a slight sigh of relief and quickly began to memorize. There wasn't much to say about the First Genetic Revolution… in fact, it wasn't much more advanced than the genetic data Chu Zhu had brought back—

The only, or rather the biggest, difference is that it has formed a system!

Just as the Industrial Revolution was a vast industrial system, the Gene Revolution is not a single gene technology, but a cyclical, self-replicating, self-researching, and self-upgrading system that encompasses everything from gene research to gene modification, embryo culture, and genome mapping research.
This is fundamentally different from Chu Zhu simply copying it back! Of course... this also leads to an extremely large amount of information in this entire system.

"Fortunately, I have my memories!" Chu Zhu thought to herself with relief, then quickly absorbed the information, completely absorbed.

Time passes bit by bit.

When Chu Zhu regained consciousness, he glanced at the time and found that it was already 7 p.m. Although he felt a little regretful and emotional, recalling the information in his mind, he believed that the time he had spent was worthwhile.

Finally, Chu Zhu said, slowly and deliberately, "Nuwa No. 17, your combat power... is it comparable to that of a god?"

"I cannot fight against a god-level life form!" Nuwa No. 17's voice remained unchanged: "I can only guarantee that no matter how large the number of cultivators at the fourth realm or below are, the life within my body will remain safe and sound!"

"...Is that so?" Chu Zhu thought calmly. It was quite normal; the giant beast was clearly not researched as a warrior! Rather, it was researched as a life-sustaining organization.

"Are you able to contact your mainframe?" Chu Zhu asked, though she had little hope.

"cannot!"

With a wry smile, Chu Zhu suddenly thought of something, took out his phone thoughtfully, glanced at the memo, and sure enough... even the phone number was exactly the same... He tapped a number, and after a few rings, the call was connected.

"What do you want from me?"

A slightly puzzled voice came from within.

"I..." Chu Zhu opened her mouth, then hesitated for a moment before cautiously asking, "Are you a god?"

"???" The Pope was stunned, then laughed angrily: "God? You called just to mock me... or to show off that you will inherit the divine position of the God of Nation and Conquest? You brat!"

The call ended a moment later.

Chu Zhu's expression turned grim, meaning that even the Pope couldn't actually protect Su Bo.

"You've been nagging me about this so many times today!" A voice, whose exact tone was unclear, suddenly rang out.

Chu Zhu sighed softly. Was it really true that he could sense something just by thinking about it? However, this guy was incredibly patient, holding back until now before finally asking… He chose suicide without hesitation! The shadow within him expanded rapidly at that moment…

Then, time began to reverse.
