My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 425 Lin Xia's Thorough Preparations

Above the moon, in the former Guanghan Palace industrial area.

"You've finally arrived." The orange cat stared at Chu Zhu, breathed a sigh of relief, and licked its paws. At this moment, she was wearing her anime-style itasha outfit as always.

"? You know me?" Chu Zhu's voice carried a hint of surprise and uncertainty. This was the first time he had ever seen the orange cat treat him with such respect—to be honest, having seen so many rebellious cats, seeing such an obedient and well-behaved cat... he was still a little unaccustomed to it!

"Hmm! Lord Lin Xia mentioned you to me." The orange cat said softly, recalling the scene when it almost got killed by the emperor while running away with Chu Zhu, and couldn't help but feel a little scared.

A look of understanding finally appeared in Chu Zhu's eyes. So that's how it is... This big orange cat has already been trained?

Chu Zhu realized at this moment that the reason why the orange cat in the Great Qian world line was so rampant might be because God died too early... or it might be because God spoiled pets too much and didn't know how to raise cats at all! So the orange cat developed an unruly personality.

However, it's clear that Lin Xia, having learned some information from her good friend, isn't going to be so lenient with the rascal... she's probably really going to strike hard!
However, Chu Zhu's thoughts were quickly pulled back by the orange cat's words: "Let me first explain to you the current situation of Lady Lin Xia!"

"Go ahead and speak," Chu Zhu said, indicating that she was listening attentively.

"First, two or three hundred years ago, the all-knowing lord on Mars erupted!" the orange cat whispered. "The goddess Nuwa intervened! She protected Earth from the erosion of pollution... Since then, the goddess Nuwa's condition has deteriorated rapidly!"

After a brief pause, the orange cat's voice carried a hint of worry: "Not long after that, it was the last time I saw the two lords—Lord Lin Xia sealed herself and the goddess Nuwa in the ancestral temple..."

"Is that so?" Chu Zhu's thousand words ultimately amounted to a sigh. That explains it! But, Lin Xia... is she really still alive?
The orange cat roused itself, looked directly into Chu Zhu's eyes, and continued, "But before that, Lady Lin Xia made many preparations! I was one of them."

"...Lin Xia, is she a god?" Chu Zhu asked.

"No!" The orange cat glanced at Chu Zhu, shook its head with a wry smile, and said, "Do you have some misunderstanding about... the gods? The forging of each divine position... requires the right time, the right place, and the right people..."

“Those who are not exceptionally wise and courageous, who have reached the pinnacle of a certain path, and who have also found a special opportunity, and who are destined by fate… cannot possibly possess a divine position…” As he spoke, the orange cat’s voice became somewhat uncertain: “Of course, one could also choose to directly seize or inherit the divine position of a certain god?”

“…So,” Chu Zhu’s eyes flickered slightly, “the emperor is…”

“Yes,” the orange cat breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Chu Zhu ask the question. She knew the answer: “The current emperor is the one who inherited the divine position… Strictly speaking, that divine position… is actually highly tied to the position of the ruler of the human empire!”

The big orange cat lay on the ground, its voice filled with emotion, envy, a hint of fear and apprehension, and an unspeakable complexity: "That's a sacred shrine that the human specially carved out for this spot!"

"?!" Chu Zhu's heart was stirred. Was the original owner of this divine position God?
I see……

Indeed, as things stand... the first emperor of the human empire was God!
"Then, could I..." Chu Zhu began to ponder a very serious question. If he obtained the position of the God of Nation and Conquest, and then jumped to another timeline... could he simply seize a godhood out of thin air?
Speaking of which, does this divine position exist in the Great Qian worldline? Ultimately… this divine position is related to the human empire! But in the Great Qian worldline, God established the Heavenly Court…

If not, Chu Zhu fell into thought. If he seized this divine position through the human empire and then jumped over it, wouldn't that—from the world's perspective—become something out of nothing, or...?

"What are you saying, meow?" The big orange cat was shocked.

Just as Chu Zhu began to reflect on whether it was too much to have obtained a divine position for nothing, he heard the orange cat say, "As the crown prince, aren't you the first heir to both the throne and the divine position?"

"As long as that person can't bear it... and abdicates! You will naturally be able to take that position... However! Taking that position may not necessarily be a good thing."

The big orange cat looked worried.

Chu Zhu: "..."

Okay, so the key issue is that he didn't even need to seize it! He only needed to send the emperor to his death...

"That's alright then." Chu Zhu frowned slightly, then saw the big orange cat slap its forehead: "I almost forgot..."

The orange cat glanced at the sky with some hesitation, then looked towards Mars, took a deep breath, and strode towards a certain direction: "Sir, please follow me!"

Chu Zhu followed the orange cat into an abandoned factory.

The orange cat patted the floor with a serious expression.

The floorboards suddenly split open! The big orange cat continued its cat-like gait, stretching its fat body, and stepped into the gap.

"...Another underground base?" Chu Zhu pondered. Was it something like the Nuwa Base? Judging from what the orange cat said earlier...it seemed Lin Xia had specially prepared this base for him?
Although a thousand chaotic thoughts were swirling in her mind, Chu Zhu's movements were not slow at all, and she followed closely behind!
All the way.

The orange cat passed four verifications.

finally.

The big orange cat arrived at a fantastical doorway.

The gate is ten meters high and five meters wide, and its entire body shimmers with a ghostly blue light. Upon entering, the blue light surges like ocean waves.

"...What is this thing? Don't tell me it's a spatial portal!" Chu Zhu was a little scared, feeling that entering it would teleport him to some incredible place. Suddenly, a thought struck him: "Hmm? Could it be a direct connection to Mars?"

Several breaths of silence...

"...Well, all I can say is that you have a very vivid imagination!" The orange cat politely denied Chu Zhu's guess, but did not explain, and simply crawled inside.

Chu Zhu frowned, and after thinking for a few breaths, she also crawled inside.

Although this door gave him a feeling that was both intimate and unsettling... well, it didn't matter. If it really was going to kill him, then so be it, he'd just die once...

Then, Chu Zhu felt everything go black.

When he regained consciousness, he looked around and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

It exceeded his expectations!

This place isn't an ecological park like the Nuwa Base... but it's not a metal base either!
The interior of this base, or rather the strange building, looks somewhat like a bar.
The warm-colored lights, however, did not illuminate the entire room.

There were sofas and chairs all around... and not far away, wooden doors were tightly closed.

In the center of the entire hall, there was also a huge counter!

Do not……

After looking around several times, Chu Zhu finally confirmed that this was indeed a bar! Only, a very large bar…

A tall, armored man was drinking at the counter, even mixing his own drinks.

His ears twitched, as if he had heard something. He lazily turned his head: "What's coming again... huh?"
