My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 470 Great Thunderclap Temple! The Buddha Descends!
The recording is over.

Chu Zhu stood there, his gaze deep, lost in thought for a long, long time. A thousand thoughts raced through his mind, ultimately culminating in a sigh. Then, he closed his eyes and continued organizing the useful information.

"So, did God enter Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum or the Potala Palace?"

"Wait, I remember... Lin Xinzhu fell into Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum and arrived in this era! In other words, Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum was actually accessible back then..."

"From this perspective, could I assume that God, or someone else, did not enter the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum at that time... which is why Lin Xinzhu was able to fall into it?"

Chu Zhu got up and paced back and forth. He thought of many things, such as the fact that, according to Z's account in The Matrix, God did not actually appear.

In other words, it's highly likely that God in the Matrix timeline never actually traveled through time... and died in a pre-civilization era!
This may also be the key factor in the dramatic change along that historical line.

"Considering all this, the chances of God being at Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum have greatly increased. Oh, right, I almost forgot, as mentioned before, Qin Shi Huang is a deity associated with the state... and the divine position of the god of state and conquest originates from God! That's interesting..."

Chu Zhu looked towards the northwest, remained silent for a long time, and then looked towards the Potala Palace, her eyes flashing with a strange light: "Although it's basically confirmed... let's verify it again."

Twenty minutes later.

Having arrived at the coordinates of Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum aboard the shuttle, Chu Zhu silently stared at the now empty ground... Even using the shuttle's scanning function, he could not detect anything beneath the ground.

He still didn't believe it, thinking that the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum might be emitting some kind of magnetic field that interfered with the shuttle's inspection. So he landed directly, used his earth-shaking skills to dig almost the entire underground, and only then did he confirm that it was really gone.

After copying himself and dispelling all the dust, Chu Zhu boarded the shuttle and arrived at the Potala Palace.

"...This is truly something!" Chu Zhu took a deep look at the magnificent palace standing high atop the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, this ancient city that had buried countless sins: "It's confirmed!"

God must have come out of Qin Shi Huang's tomb!
Secondly...

Chu Zhu strode toward the Potala Palace.

Half an hour later.

"...We can't even get in?" Chu Zhu frowned deeply. It was somewhat like a space elevator; all the entrances were blocked. At the same time, supernatural powers were also interfered with, unable to have any effect on this ancient building.

Chu Zhu even tentatively ordered the shuttle to launch an attack, but it didn't budge an inch.

and so……

"There really is someone lying inside!"

Chu Zhu rubbed his cheek. He was very curious about who was sleeping inside. What was their nationality? What was their ethnicity? What was their gender? What was their age...?

"However, the Potala Palace in the real world is still accessible! That means the people inside must have been... those who entered after the era I lived in in the real world?"

Chu Zhu thought for a moment and made up her mind: "After we go back, we will push for... to prohibit any foreign personnel from entering the Tibetan Palace! And the same goes for the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum..."

After taking a deep look at the ancient palace in front of him, Chu Zhu did not rush back, but instead chose to take a stroll on the roof of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Compared to the past... the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has now been completely transformed into a Buddhist kingdom, with temples everywhere, and the sound of devout chanting emanating from them, containing a mysterious power.

Even ordinary people spend most of their day praying and making offerings to Buddha...

Of course, this also means that the actual time they spend working is very limited... and therefore...

"...This standard of living!" Chu Zhu entered the home of a wealthy family and saw the serfs from the snowy region who were tied up. These serfs were emaciated, with dark skin, and many were covered in wounds, clearly having endured extremely inhumane torture...

However, they were praying devoutly, and even though Chu Zhu had never learned their language, she could understand their meaning through her memory: 'I hope that in this life I can atone for the sins of my past life and be reborn into a good family in the next!' Chu Zhu: '…'

Where did he get this? Is this still the Great Qian Dynasty...? No, this looks a bit South Asian, even...

A shadow fell over Chu Zhu's eyes. "It was my carelessness... Since the Great Qian Dynasty has regressed to a feudal system, it is perfectly reasonable for this place to revert to a serf system!"

Chu Zhu felt that after returning, she needed to consider how to launch a powerful attack on this place.

After assessing the living standards of the local people, Chu Zhu then began to inspect the Buddhist temples.

The first thing to be examined is...

"Da Leiyin Temple!"

Chu Zhu looked at the temple standing next to the Potala Palace with a subtle expression. According to the information he had gathered, this temple was the foremost temple on this snowy plain.

But just from the name you can tell... this must be some brilliant genius from a previous civilization who, in a later civilization, embraced the idea of ​​cosplay and created—wait, could it be God?

Chu Zhu felt there were too many things to complain about, and for a moment it was stuck in her throat, and she didn't know how to spit it out.

"Young friend!" A gentle voice suddenly rang out.

Chu Zhu's thoughts paused for a moment, because he inexplicably sensed that the Buddhist ring inherited from Z in his mind was trembling violently, like a stressed Hakimi...

Chu Zhu even had a feeling that if he hadn't suppressed it immediately, he probably would have already revealed his Buddha-light!

Chu Zhu thought about many things at that moment. He turned his head expressionlessly and saw an old monk wearing a yellow kasaya, with a kind and gentle face and a pale beard.

The moment their eyes met, Chu Zhu felt as if he had witnessed countless Buddhist truths and heard the pronouncements of the sages. A vast amount of knowledge flooded his mind—the myriad secrets of the Buddhist system!
One Buddhist teaching after another, countless Buddhist scriptures… Moreover, Chu Zhu felt that he had mastered them instantly and with extreme proficiency. He even felt that he could now be called a great Buddhist master! This reminded him of how he used his memory supernatural ability to replicate other people's skills!
That's great, here's a perk for him!
Chu Zhu smiled slightly, gazing at the bald man in front of him. He found him pleasing to the eye no matter how he looked at him… He had just given him such a generous gift right off the bat! And it wasn't just some mundane Buddhist scriptures… It was a genuine infusion of many of the profound teachings of Buddhism. Even if he had always been wary of Buddhism, he couldn't help but feel a sense of goodwill towards him at this moment… right?

Chu Zhu's expression froze instantly, and a dazzling golden light erupted in his mind, his entire body radiating a brilliant divine light. Wisps of golden smoke evaporated from Chu Zhu's body.

“Interesting…” The abbot showed no surprise, his gaze as gentle as ever. He stared at Chu Zhu as if he were looking at his most favored junior, and finally smiled and said, “Good child, I am Bodhi, the current abbot of the Great Thunderclap Temple!”

The abbot's words were utterly sincere: "Our Buddhist sect upholds the concept that everyone can become a Buddha... With just one moment of enlightenment, everyone is a Buddha! Everyone can understand all the Dharma controlled by the Buddha... What I gave you before was merely a small appetizer! I wonder if you wish to satisfy and purify the endless desires in your heart? Do you wish to reach the pinnacle of this world? Do you wish to see the world through the eyes of the Buddha?"

Chu Zhu: "..."

Byd, you're not even going to act anymore, are you? You, who claim to be Buddha... just as Chu Zhu guessed a long time ago, are actually just someone forcibly assimilated into a shell, right? It's not that everyone becomes Buddha, but that Buddha assimilates everyone...

Chu Zhu stared coldly at the figure before her, a ray of Buddhist light emanating from the forehead of the being who was now almost certainly an 'incarnation of a Buddha'.

Chu Zhu wanted to commit suicide, but he felt as if his body was trapped in amber, unable to move.

Finally, at the moment the light touched his forehead, time stood still.

"?!" The head monk's expression changed drastically for the first time. In the next breath, his pupils turned golden, and his entire demeanor transformed. If he was a serene old monk before, now he possessed an aura of majesty, high above, looking down upon all living beings… seemingly in harmony with heaven and earth, yet as ordinary as a mortal… He possessed countless opposing qualities, which now merged together…

He seemed to want to do something.

But it was too late... With the next breath, time began to reverse.
