My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 452 The Death of Su Bo! Backup Plan!
In fact, this is indeed the case.

Although Su Buqun kept repeating to himself that this must be some kind of evolution of supernatural power... he couldn't figure out which direction the light had to be developed to open up in such a bizarre way. He still subconsciously wondered... what if this really wasn't supernatural power?!

What the hell is that thing on the other side...? No, is this thing not human?

“…You’re not normal!” Su Bo suddenly spoke, his breath trembling slightly, but he forced himself to calm down: “Although you have now conquered the world, strictly speaking… the grand ceremony of the throne on my body has not yet been eliminated! It can only be said that it has weakened considerably…”

Su Bo stared intently at Chu Zhu, but to his surprise, Chu Zhu's expression remained unchanged.

With a barely perceptible furrow of his brow, Su Bo continued, "You must have some kind of pollution buildup on you, right?"

Although it was a question, Su Bo's words were quite certain. Those extraordinary individuals who showed no respect for the emperor would inevitably be affected.

"You guessed right!" Chu Zhu nodded; there was no point in denying it. It's just that he didn't care! It's something that can be washed away by dying once…

“In this situation, pollution is clearly increasing, but you’re not worried at all! You’re still playing a cat-and-mouse game…” Su Bo paused as he spoke, his face contorted in distress.

His logic was stuck. He couldn't understand why the other side was playing this game... But if he couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking about it!
“However, I’m also basically certain!” Su Bo pursed his lips, putting aside his incomprehension of 'why Chu Zhu did this,' and stated his conclusion: “Whether you’re mentally ill or just indulging in a playful mood… you are inevitably the leader of the rebel forces!”

Chu Zhu remained silent, gazing thoughtfully at Su Bo.

“It’s surprising. Why did I guess that?” Su Bo laughed, with a hint of sarcasm. “That’s because… I was an emperor for a long time! I know the mindset of a leader… Only a true leader would dare to play a cat-and-mouse game at a time when the fate of the world is decided! Even the number two wouldn’t dare to do that.”

Su Bo spoke with absolute certainty. If you put him in the position of a rebel leader, and he sent Yuwen Yong on a mission to assassinate the emperor, and Yuwen Yong dared to so brazenly manipulate the emperor, completely disregarding the mission… even if he completed the mission, he could still die in the end!
This is a level of magnanimity that only leaders possess!
Su Bo smiled, pulled a small knife from his waist, and placed it against his neck.

Chu Zhu's gaze was deep and unfathomable. Su Buqun's pupils contracted, as if he wanted to stop her, but then he seemed to remember something and froze in place.

“You should understand that if an emperor wants to kill a superhuman, then the superhuman will inevitably die,” Su Bo said softly. Without any negotiation with Chu Zhu, he directly plunged the weapon, which possessed instant-death properties, into his own throat.

"...!" Chu Zhu's pupils suddenly contracted. This was the first time Su Bo had done something so unexpected.

Su Bo died.

But before he died, a ferocious and proud smile appeared on his lips.

Chu Zhu's true form within the Sea of ​​Memories silently gazed at this scene. Countless thoughts flashed through her mind...

Suddenly, Chu Zhu felt an indescribable pang of anxiety: "...No! My body..."

Chu Zhu was naturally not in her physical form at this moment.

The ability to walk through memories...that's a characteristic of memory-makers!

The essence of this matter is—to transform one's own body into memories! Or, to put it another way, memory matter.

At that moment, Chu Zhu sensed her memories, and her body began to go berserk and collapse.

The body, already somewhat tainted by the pollution of memories, was engulfed in ink-like contamination, which rapidly spread and assimilated Chu Zhu within just a few breaths.

Chu Zhu didn't struggle with all his might. He silently sensed the situation and sighed, "It really was a mutual destruction! I just didn't expect..."

The next moment.

Time began to reverse. Chu Zhu slowly opened his eyes. In front of him was a light screen displaying the situation in the capital. He had reappeared on the space carrier, above the capital.

Looking at the light screen, Chu Zhu said what she hadn't finished saying before: "Su Bo really has the heart to do this!"

Chu Zhu was genuinely surprised. Su Bo was the emperor, at least half a day ago, the emperor who controlled the world. Generally speaking, the more one controls, the less willing one is to die... However, after Su Bo clearly judged that Chu Zhu was the leader of the rebels and that he had no chance of regaining the world... he actually used his own life as a bargaining chip without hesitation!

Ruthless and decisive!
"I thought he would play a game with me... and then get some generous terms from me." Chu Zhu shook his head.

"But this is a bit troublesome!"

Chu Zhu's original plan was to keep Su Bo on the throne, albeit with him as a figurehead. By using Su Bo, she could indirectly stabilize the realm and indirectly control the extraordinary forces of the Great Qian Dynasty…

But now, Su Bo has made it clear that he will never cooperate...

It is absolutely impossible for Chu Zhu to truly ascend the throne at present... Let's not even mention the issue of contamination! Nor will we mention the potential attacks from the extraordinary forces controlled by the Great Qian after he takes that position—

Once the news spread, the influx of all races into the pass became an intractable problem!
Chu Zhu could not possibly emulate King You of Chu.

and so……

After much deliberation, Chu Zhu confirmed his priorities: to maintain the Great Qian Dynasty's rule for the time being, while simultaneously seeking a stable base to cultivate his guild and, incidentally, enhance his own power!

Once we have enough power, and the guild has a group of elites, coupled with Nuwa's artificial intelligence or the Hive, we can completely swallow the Great Qian that we have already taken in, establish a new dynasty, and then govern the world!
“But I absolutely refuse to sideline a powerful figure!” Chu Zhu pinched the bridge of her nose. “Then, could we kill Su Bo… and then support a prince to ascend the throne?”

In theory, it should be feasible! However, there is a fatal problem...

"We absolutely must capture Su Bo!"

Chu Zhu smiled wryly. He had checked the system during previous resets, and although he wasn't entirely clear on the details of the Grand Ceremony… he was basically certain that, aside from dynastic changes, within the same dynasty, only when the previous emperor died and the next emperor was appointed could the Grand Ceremony be reliably inherited.

The only exception in the Great Qian Dynasty was the founding emperor!

As for how the founding emperor did it... Chu Zhu was unable to find out.

Therefore, the only way to support a new emperor is to kill the old one!
Of course, this problem is not entirely unsolvable... At least, Chu Zhu has come up with a few killer moves to target Su Bo!
But... once that's solved, there's an even bigger problem!
"How do we kill the emperor...?"

The emperor's suicide because of Chu Zhu caused a direct explosion due to pollution. Not to mention, he directly killed her...

Even if it's just to find someone, even if Chu Zhu really grits his teeth, prepared to sacrifice acquaintances, and goes to the Realm of Memories to uncover the hidden plans of those powerful figures who were frozen... and kill the emperor!
The person who made the move is doomed!
But at the same time, Chu Zhu, who gave the order, was also dragged into the mess!

This is the emperor's dilemma!

Those who possess extraordinary abilities must not be killed!

Even if Chu Zhu wanted to give the order for someone else to kill, it wouldn't work... This kind of precise targeting seems to be conceptual!
If you want to kill, no matter what method you use to get others to do it, as long as you are the source, you will eventually kill everyone who intervenes along the way, tracing it back to you and eliminating you as well.

If it weren't for this, how could extraordinary beings have such awe for the emperor?
"This really turns a single-minded approach into a dead end!" Chu Zhu sighed for a moment. "Oh well, let's use the backup plan first! If that doesn't work... sigh!"

With a sigh, Chu Zhu stared down, his expression turning serious.
