My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 461 The Death of Chu Zhu
Chu Zhu stared at Ji Lan, who was leading the way and looked like a prisoner, with an inscrutable expression...

No matter how unwilling Ji Lan was, she could only obediently submit.

This is the benefit that the Great Qian Dynasty did not perish—

The extraordinary individuals within the Great Qian system are still firmly suppressed by this massive system!

Although among these extraordinary individuals, there were even those who could pose a threat to Chu Zhu...

However, Chu Zhu is capable of posing a threat to the emperor!

The emperor, on the other hand, was able to powerfully suppress and command the extraordinary individuals within his system…

This forms the simplest food chain!
A grand and spectacular military parade!
Many people in Tianjing who enjoyed watching the spectacle watched quietly from the sidelines. Of course, their attitudes were quite complex…

Those loyal to the Great Qian gritted their teeth, their faces contorted in rage. But such people were few and far between… Most people watched this scene with blank stares, or even indifference.

If it were a case of all races entering the pass, the people's attitude might be different, but now, Chu Zhu is also a human, and a member of the Great Qian Dynasty at that... In other words, at worst, this is just a change of dynasty...

The general public naturally doesn't care about this, or rather, they just watch the show.

However, during the third parade, Chu Zhu suddenly sensed something was wrong. His vision went black as he saw a terrifying dragon of destiny.

"!!!"

Oh no! It's the backlash from the Jade Seal of Fortune... Emperor Su of the capital still made a move against him. Unfortunately, this thing has no effect on him whatsoever...

Wait a minute, Chu Zhu suddenly fell into deep thought. He felt that he shouldn't be afraid of this kind of luck attack? Because he seemed to have experienced it before... But how did he deal with it back then? Did he die and then come back to life? Or was he directly immune? Did he use some kind of device to withstand it...?

Why doesn't he have any memory of this...? So what should he do now? Should he just tough it out?

Oh no! Chu Zhu suddenly realized that there was something wrong with his memory. His lips moved slightly, and he was about to say something when he felt his body go out of control and he was trembling violently.

Then, blood suddenly flowed from Chu Zhu's seven orifices, and she collapsed to her knees with a thud, her life force plummeting.

Huo Qiming, who had always been by his side, solemnly protecting him: "!!!"

“…Luck! Wait a minute,” Hu Kaikang realized, his pupils contracting, but a surge of understanding rose within him, his eyes twitching wildly as he cursed inwardly, “I knew it… Damn it, if we hadn’t killed them all in one go… this would definitely have happened…”

After all, the Great Qian Dynasty had been established for two hundred years; its foundation was incredibly strong!

You could destroy a dynasty, yet you choose not to! Aren't you just courting death?

Is this something we can wait for or be careless about?

Serves him right! Hu Kaikang was heartbroken, but all his words could only turn into a sigh. He was already thinking... what should he do next? Given the current situation, he should be considered a traitor, right? Even the Pope probably couldn't save him!
A dead silence.

Then, people gradually realized what was happening, and a commotion erupted.

"...It was an assassination attempt!" Li Xuan's face was pale, his voice filled with panic. He was like a monkey that had lost the protection of a towering tree!
As for the security soldiers, their hands and feet were cold, and they looked bewildered.

Ji Lan turned his head abruptly, countless thoughts flashing through his pupils, but in the end, they turned into grief. He roared, "Who is assassinating me? Men, seal off the entire area!!"

No matter how ecstatic he may be inside, he must at least show grief and indignation!

Suddenly.

A piercing roar erupted.

Also participating in the parade, one drone after another, including combat drones, came to a cold stop in the surrounding void and then quickly dispersed.

"..." Ji Lan paused for a moment, her heart filled with turbulent waves. Wait, why are these Nuwa's messengers still able to operate autonomously even though this guy is already dead?

Are there other manipulators behind them? It can't be that the goddess Nuwa herself has appeared... even though he's dead, that goddess still wants to avenge him?
Countless thoughts raced through her mind, colliding to create one possibility after another. A shadow fell over Ji Lan's eyes. Although her face was still filled with grief and indignation, she frantically climbed onto the car, knelt on one knee before Chu Zhu's body, tears streaming down her face, and wailed, "How could you die like this..."

In terms of grief, he seemed far more pained than Li Xuan and the security guards—to be precise, Chu Zhu's direct subordinates were currently more bewildered and incredulous...

They were even hoping that something like what had happened before at the Jinghai City government office might happen again... that Chu Zhu would suddenly appear out of nowhere...

Unfortunately... that didn't happen!
Of course, although the surrounding crowd dispersed after realizing something was wrong, reporters still managed to take videos and even pictures.

After half an hour.

This was accompanied by the sending of a telegram.

The news spread rapidly, first to Tianjing and Jiangnan, and then... it spread throughout the entire country.

The various factions that had previously viewed the regent with different perspectives now found themselves with extremely complex emotions.

Western Church Headquarters.

The Pope looked in the direction of the military parade and remained silent for a long while: "...Are they dead?"

Headquarters of the Eastern Church.

Ning Linglong sat on the ground, expressionless, but tears streamed down her face.

Jia Yanyu's brows were furrowed, her eyes filled with confusion and doubt. Dead…that can't be! If it really was the prophecy…no, could it be that she mistook him for someone else…

Sitting on the leader's throne, Jia Yanyu slowly closed her eyes, then suddenly gave a bitter smile: "This is a huge problem..."

You made the wrong bet!
In that case, perhaps... we will have to face the counterattack of the Great Qian Dynasty.

"...I never imagined that the same thing that happened to the Heavenly Mystery Sect before would happen again." Jia Yanyu thought quietly for a long time, then closed her eyes wearily: "So be it! So be it..." However.

To everyone's surprise...

Forty-five minutes after Chu Zhu's death, or fifteen minutes after the news officially spread, the emperor came out and delivered a public speech.

"We deeply regret the assassination attempt on the Regent..."

"...We will retain the Regent's throne and position to show our respect for him!"

"The Regent has made considerable contributions to the Great Qian Dynasty! This dynasty will not hold those who previously followed the Regent accountable!"

"The rights of the union will not be diminished!"

"...the promised one-tenth of the budget allocated to the union will remain in effect!"

Countless people who saw the emperor's public statement were stunned. The fact that you could release this information so quickly...doesn't that mean you were the one who killed him? Then why grant him one-tenth of the financial power...and publicly state that you won't pursue those who previously followed the regent? This doesn't make sense!

Then, they heard the emperor's final summary.

"...We continue to maintain a good relationship with the legacy left by Mr. Chu Zhu!"

"The divine messenger of the goddess Nuwa will temporarily replace the Great Qian army and protect the land of Great Qian!"

"Whether it's enemies from the north, south, west, or even at sea... anyone who dares to take advantage of the army's absence to attack the Great Qian will inevitably face a crushing defeat."

"The wrath of the goddess Nuwa will set the lands of the Northern Barbarians, the Southern Barbarians, and the Red-haired Tribe ablaze! Until everything is destroyed..."

All the wise people who heard this understood.

Chu Zhu's guild still controls Nuwa's divine messengers... In other words, although Chu Zhu is dead, he still has the power to drag the entire Great Qian Dynasty down to hell...

Although Chu Zhu was killed, due to various concerns, the forces he left behind seem to be unwilling to fight against Da Qian... It seems that the two sides have reached a cooperation agreement!

However, it seems that without Chu Zhu as the leader, and with the emperor's financial support... the emperor's purpose is obvious - he probably wants to infiltrate and gain control over Nuwa's many divine messengers by throwing money at them... or at least gain indirect control!

The world remained silent in response. One can only say... many intelligent people have fully grasped the logic behind it! Finally, one can't help but sigh... the emperor of this dynasty was indeed a first-rate shrewd man, possessing such masterful political maneuvering...

The northern barbarians remained restless in the face of this...

However, the moment they attempted to enter the pass, they were attacked and bombarded by Nuwa's envoys! Over ten thousand were killed or wounded…

Instantly, the fierce and brutal gaze of the northern barbarians, soothed by bullets and bombs, became pure and clear again.

The news spread wildly again, gradually bringing peace back to the previously chaotic and turbulent world...

Chu Zhu's death gradually faded into the past.

The public returned to normal, except that those who had once had a relationship with Chu Zhu were still grieving his death. It seemed that nothing had changed...?

……

Nuwa Base No. 3.

Chu Zhu calmly watched the screens of light, on which lurked superhumans, and there were more than one group... These superhumans from different factions quickly became aware of each other's presence and began a fierce battle, with blood and fire splattering: "...They really want to steal my 'corpse'! Interesting... What a pity!"

No matter how you verify it, that corpse... is indeed Chu Zhu herself. After all, from the perspective of "fate," it was Chu Zhu all along!
Of course, they might notice a problem... that is, why was the corpse's level in life... Realm One?
However, Chu Zhu chose to have Su Bo mobilize some of his extraordinary forces, pretending to try and seize the corpse, and then destroy it.

That way, there will be no way to prove it!

Chu Zhu watched calmly as the group of superhumans started fighting. It seemed that someone had lost their temper and directly used a wide-range destructive divine power—the Calamity Fire—burning Chu Zhu's morgue and the corpse to ashes...

This was the deal Chu Zhu made with Su Bo before – or it could be seen as a threat – that Su Bo would use the Qi Luck Jade Seal to assassinate Chu Zhu!
This is also the key reason why Chu Zhu didn't take away the Jade Seal of Fortune... In other words, only the emperor can control and use this thing!
The previous "Chu Zhu" was naturally Hong Gan. To be precise, it was Hong Gan whose fate was transferred by Chu Zhu using his divine power of destiny, and who was given a fabricated personality by Chu Zhu using mysterious powers!
Because fate had been altered, the assassination attempt by destiny naturally struck Hong Gan.

Of course, although a fictional personality was created, the memories implanted into his mind were ultimately flawed. For example, sensitive matters such as past human civilization and resets were completely missing.

If Chu Zhu had lived a little longer, she would definitely have noticed the problem. Because there were far too many gaps in her memories… they just wouldn't connect!

But now... it's just a disposable consumable.

"Currently, it seems that the extraterrestrial memory faction's power has shifted from the light to the shadows, and should fall into a brief period of chaos..."

Chu Zhu fell into deep thought, even putting herself in the other person's shoes, calmly considering what decision they would make in this situation...

After all, just as Jia Yanyu pinpointed Chu Zhu's exact movements, the power of the external memory faction would also be able to pinpoint... Chu Zhu was that extremely dangerous person!

Now that someone has died... what will they, or the extraterrestrial civilizations that might receive the news—those memory-generating beings and prophets who are almost certainly still alive—think?
Do you feel like you've succeeded?
Or perhaps you feel you've targeted the wrong person? Keep searching...

"Or perhaps... they think that after killing me, they'll completely give up and unleash all their hidden schemes, preparing to seize power again... or even exterminate humanity?" Thoughts churned in Chu Zhu's mind. No matter what they did next, Chu Zhu could deduce much of their true intentions based on these events!
"Secondly, Su Bo..." Chu Zhu chuckled. Su Bo controlled a large number of artifacts. Even if he took away the Jade Seal of Luck, who knows if he had anything else similar?
But this time... Chu Zhu somehow managed to escape!
So, in the future, will Su Bo dare to use this method to deal with Chu Zhu again...? In other words, at least in the future, there's no need to worry about Su Bo resorting to such underhanded tactics again...

Although Chu Zhu, who possessed the power to reset death, wasn't actually too afraid of such a sneak attack—after all, he could come back to life after death—it was still a waste of the reset... Moreover, he currently needed to use the power to usurp the emperor's authority in order to suppress the extraordinary forces...

If the emperor assassinates him, what will happen to Chu Zhu, who knows the truth? If he kills him directly... hmm! But if he doesn't kill him and the emperor realizes that Chu Zhu doesn't actually intend to kill him... then the other side will definitely take advantage of the situation, making things even more troublesome.

This current state is just right!

After stretching his body, Chu Zhu shook his head and chose to meditate cross-legged.
