My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 433 The Ladder of Life! The Shennong Cauldron!

China Resources Building.

Three floors underground.

"This is!" Guan Qianyu stared blankly at the blood-red plant in front of her. Its size was extremely large, like a staircase. What was most terrifying was that the plant's body was constantly expanding and shrinking, as if a heart was beating.

Chu Zhu didn't speak, but looked at Su Mobai standing next to a cauldron.

Swallowing hard, Su Mobai said cautiously, "Mr. Chu, this is the ancient cauldron that you emphasized yesterday, the one collected by a certain extravagant family in Yanjing!"

Chu Zhu nodded slightly, walked directly to the ancient cauldron, his expression turned serious, and he slapped the cauldron with his hand.

With a crisp buzzing sound, the ancient cauldron trembled continuously, and the rust spots on it completely fell off at that moment.

Soon, it was as clean as new.

Chu Zhu's gaze sharpened slightly. Based on what he had never known before, he gradually switched the power of fortune within his body to a state of harmony with the ancient cauldron.

Just like the right key, inserted into the lock and started to turn!
In that instant, Chu Zhu felt a sense of harmony between herself and the ancient cauldron.

Su Mobai: "..."

To be fair, if she hadn't witnessed the dramatic changes to the cauldron firsthand, anyone else might have thought it was a replica.

Chu Zhu lifted the cauldron and threw it towards the direction of the Ladder of Life.

As if sensing something, the Life Ladder came to life at that moment. Its branches wrapped around the ancient cauldron, and then the Life Ladder began to emit a faint red light, before rapidly expanding.

The branches and trunk grew thicker and thicker at a visible speed. The roots took hold of the concrete ground... even reinforced concrete was as vulnerable as tofu in the face of its roots—of course, the place where the roots entwined the most was the ancient cauldron!

The growth rate of the life ladder only slowed down after its size had tripled.

"Very good!" Chu Zhu nodded in satisfaction.

"..." Guan Qianyu's eyes were fixed, her mind blank. After a long pause, she finally murmured, "Biology no longer exists!"

Guan Qianyu had already doubted whether this blood-red plant was even from Earth...

result……

Are there any experts? !
Chu Zhu patted Guan Qianyu on the shoulder. Guan Qianyu subconsciously took a book from Chu Zhu and stared at him blankly, asking, "What's this?"

"The Care Manual for the Ladder of Life!" Chu Zhu shrugged.

"So it's like... um? The Ladder of Life!" Guan Qianyu's expression changed drastically: "It's that... the one I wrote about before, the essential item for gene enhancement?"

Chu Zhu nodded. First-tier gene enhancement carries a relatively high initial risk… The reason it has achieved a 100% success rate and become so rapidly widespread for the general public is primarily due to the pollution-free, energy-rich life ladder!
"By the way, what about that cauldron?!" Guan Qianyu hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't help asking.

"Shennong Cauldron?" Chu Zhu raised an eyebrow.

"???" Guan Qianyu almost doubted that she had heard correctly, while Su Mobai was equally stunned. Her first reaction was that it really was... no, if it was such a national treasure, then that extravagant family was truly audacious.

"To be precise, it's the cauldron used by Shennong, though not the main cauldron! There's one main cauldron and eight secondary cauldrons, and this is one of those eight." Chu Zhu glanced at the life ladder and cauldron in the distance.

If all the cauldrons were collected, and one had sufficient blessings within their body, it would truly be an inexhaustible source of all plant-related resources.

For example, the Ladder of Life!

That's because as long as you input blessings... your life ladder will skyrocket!

As for ginseng and all sorts of wild medicinal herbs, they really grow everywhere...

Unfortunately, we must use Fuli.

Chu Zhu sighed. They could actually just dump a bunch of nuclear waste; the Life Ladder could absorb that energy to grow. However… that would create pollution!
The blessings, transformed by the Shennong Cauldron, allow the life ladder to grow... only then can relatively pure cultivation resources be condensed! This is also one of the important prerequisites for the Human Empire line that my good brother has obtained in his various lives.

"And another one." Chu Zhu took out another notebook and tossed it to Su Mobai.

"?!" Su Mobai was still somewhat dazed, not quite reacting, and subconsciously opened her notebook. She was currently pondering the Nine Cauldrons… Could it be that the legendary Nine Cauldrons were Shennong's nine cauldrons, or perhaps the two were actually unrelated? But… even if there was no connection, their value wasn't much different from the Nine Cauldrons of Yu the Great!
then……

"This..." Su Mobai looked at the design drawings, sweating profusely: "Are you planning to turn these underground floors into... the Hive base from Resident Evil?"

"You guessed it!" Chu Zhu clapped his hands expressionlessly. "So go do it!" Then, Chu Zhu turned around without hesitation.

"Father!" Once they were out of their sight, Z suddenly spoke: "I have successfully assassinated the Golden Dawn member codenamed Devil in England!"

Chu Zhu paused for a moment, genuinely surprised: "...You're so efficient?"

"Not really!" Z said indifferently. "Ultimately, Britain today is far, far worse than it was at its peak... In comparison, the decapitation strategy implemented against the Bald Eagle has been extremely ineffective!"

"Although I've killed some of the Raven family's collateral branches and faction members... I still can't pinpoint the exact locations of Howard and James..."

"Five sneak attacks! It's almost certain... they were all... carried out by a body double!"

"Father... Extra warning! Skynet's data seems to have been updated? I'm not sure of the specifics... but in my understanding, Skynet shouldn't be able to achieve this level of concealment!"

Chu Zhu's brows furrowed. After much deliberation, he suddenly asked, "In your memory... does Skynet exist in the future?"

"No! But I don't know the specific fate of Skynet."

“…I see.” Chu Zhu nodded, his expression calm. He inexplicably connected the dots, recalling the previous Human Empire storyline where the European and American human survival organization was Skynet—clearly, the Skynet in the Matrix storyline and the Human Empire storyline had different ultimate fates. He murmured to himself, “Perhaps I can ask Lin Xia and the others!”

The phone rang suddenly. Chu Zhu glanced at it and saw that it was Sun Rui calling: "What's up?"

"I've received inside information!" Sun Rui's voice was extremely serious: "Your parents... suffered an attack! Of course, we repelled it... but..."

Chu Zhu showed no emotional fluctuation, because Lin Xia and the others had not mentioned this aspect before, so the chances of her parents being in trouble in this timeline were almost zero... In contrast, Chu Zhu's gaze was deep and unfathomable, instead... towards Zhao Shao.

"Three veterans have sacrificed their lives!" Sun Rui gave a bitter smile. "My personal suggestion is... to send Uncle and Aunt to Yanjing. In the county town... our resources will ultimately be insufficient to completely encompass them!"

Three veterans? Chu Zhu remained silent for a long while.

"...I personally have no objection! You can just ask for their consent." Chu Zhu chatted for a couple more minutes, and just before hanging up, Sun Rui hesitated for a moment and cautiously asked, "Um, have you been up to something big lately?"

"How do you know?" Chu Zhu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Some overseas...illegal organizations have issued assassination bounties against you and your relatives and friends! It just came out."

……

Frowning as she stared at her phone, Chu Zhu pondered for a moment, then murmured, "Demons? No... there might also be the Raven family!"

Rubbing his temples, Chu Zhu showed no intention of letting go: "Z, intensify the pressure on the Golden Dawn! For every ounce of damage they inflict on us, we'll retaliate tenfold! One punch and they'll be... Hmph! They think they can intimidate me like this? They think I'm some kind of Persian... Oh, right..."

Thinking of something, Chu Zhu added, "Considering the strategy of winning one faction against another... while you're at it, also contact some factions within the Golden Dawn! See if you can divide the Golden Dawn."

“…” Z paused briefly before speaking, “You mean…”

Chu Zhu originally thought Z would say "lovers' faction," but then she heard: "Judas faction?"

Chu Zhu: "???"

What the heck? Winning over Judah... Are you kidding me?

As if understanding Chu Zhu's meaning, Z smiled silently: "No, no, no, you mean division and exploitation! The lovers' faction has a higher exploitation value... and there's even a possibility of developing a closer relationship with you!"

"In comparison, the Judah faction is short-sighted and cowardly, and at the same time has a great influence on other factions in Europe and America! Naturally, it is the most suitable to be used."

Chu Zhu's brows furrowed slightly: "But..."

“I know you despise the Judah faction! Leave this to me.” Z’s voice held a hint of excitement: “You definitely won’t be disappointed in the end!”

"What do you mean?" Chu Zhu asked thoughtfully. But then, a thought struck him, and his expression turned strange. Because Judas, in biblical mythology, seemed to be the one who betrayed Christ!

Considering Christ as he is now, he is actually... Hmm! I see.

Chu Zhu was so angry he almost laughed. What a perfect traitor! To be fair, while he genuinely disliked Judas, he had to admit that this guy was incredibly convenient on the opposing side…

“According to my data analysis, the internal factional conflicts within the Golden Dawn are actually quite acute... If my plan is executed as it is, there is a 72% chance that the Bald Eagle faction will launch a war against the Judah faction! More accurately, they will raid their territory!” Z’s voice was icy: “There is a greater than 30% chance that the Judah faction will be wiped out! But on this basis, the Bald Eagle faction will also suffer heavy losses! At the same time, this will at least delay the establishment of the Western Alliance by three years!”
