My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 489 Mars Enveloped by the Divine Realm of Memory
"So, my memory shrine... do you know where it is?" Chu Zhu asked Z, posing a profound question.

He was also thinking and complaining... Now he understood why they were called Buddha, why they were called Dipankara Buddha, and even why Nuwa was called Nuwa... It turns out that this wasn't just simple cosplay, but rather using the same name to carry a certain concept, thereby determining the path to take...

Hmm... Analyzing it from this perspective! Z, it's really not easy... because she didn't benefit from her name at all—just like Chu Zhu.

Chu Zhu sighed with emotion. As expected of her daughter! They were all typical examples of relying solely on themselves. Chu Zhu selectively ignored the fact that Z ascended to godhood through the Mohist school. Of course, Chu Zhu ultimately silently concluded that Z's difficulties were entirely Zhao Shao's fault.

“I don’t know,” Z said frankly, unaware that Chu Zhu’s thoughts had already traveled to light-years away. “But I have a guess, and I think you should have a guess too.”

"I see!" Chu Zhu remained silent, staring blankly at the crimson Mars before him. Yes, the final destination of their best buddies was Mars! If that's the case, then the divine position of memory should naturally be located on Mars as well.

"Next time, I can try to see if my good brother can leave behind his memory shrine... No, my good brother couldn't possibly not have thought of this! If he didn't leave it, it obviously means he couldn't." Chu Zhu felt a slight headache, but he wasn't too panicked.

Z's experience in The Matrix storyline taught him that a cultivator, under certain circumstances, can bear more than one divine position—the position of the Mind Dragon is still waiting for him.

It can only be said that Chu Zhu has far too many paths to take because of her unique circumstances.

“Then,” Z’s lips moved slightly, a look of struggle appearing on her face. Chu Zhu did not urge her, but quietly turned his head and gazed at Z’s fair and jade-like profile. Finally, he heard her exhale softly: “Father, actually… Mother once made a very crazy decision.”

"?" Chu Zhu thought for a moment, then abruptly asked, "Let me ask first, is your mother... Miss Guan?"

"Huh?" Z was stunned for a moment. She really didn't expect to hear her father address her mother in such a strange way. She stammered, "Is...is that right? Okay, that's not important."

Forcibly pulling his thoughts back, Z gritted his teeth and abruptly said, "Mother, before you were born and went to follow God... you once said that since everything can be changed... why don't you kill all the superhumans of this era and then seal all their supernatural powers to prevent them from flowing into the outer universe! Let's see how the civilizations of the outer universe will react to this."

"???" Chu Zhu was shocked. So ruthless? Even Chu Zhu himself, who knew all of his abilities, had never had such thoughts before... Miss Guan, who didn't know the true nature of his time-traveling ability, could she be so cruel?

He closed his eyes, and after a long while, he muttered, "He's gone mad!"

“Perhaps.” Z’s bright eyes dimmed, and he said self-deprecatingly, “With the situation so dire, how many people wouldn’t go crazy? To put it bluntly… while Mother’s plan was extreme, there are many others in the Time Club who are even more extreme than her…”

Chu Zhu: "..."

Oh my god, this is terrifying! Is this person really a conservative?

Pinching his brow, Chu Zhu forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart, stripping away all emotions, and with an extremely calm demeanor, he seriously considered and pondered, finally saying with difficulty, "I will try if I have the chance!"

Of course, he couldn't possibly conduct the experiment now. It could only be done by his good brother in some future timeline—if he tried it in the dream world, not only would he lack the power to slaughter all the extraordinary beings, but even if he did, the news would likely be impossible to get a response from the outer universe within a day!
“Alright, Father.” Z gripped Chu Zhu’s hand, her grip tightening suddenly. A complex emotion flickered in her eyes. Struggling, she asked with difficulty, “Do you… want to go back?”

“…Do what you want to do!” Chu Zhu gave Z a deep look, and a smile appeared on her lips.

"...You know?"

"I don't think you consider me an idiot, do you?" Chu Zhu glanced at Z sideways. If it was just about talking about these things, couldn't they have done the same on Earth? Why did they have to come to the stars? Just to see the scenery?

Before arriving on Mars, Z clearly wanted to bring Chu Zhu there—undoubtedly, Z was extremely curious about Mars! However, upholding the will of many members of the Time Club on this timeline, she obviously couldn't be willful and could only quietly wait for Chu Zhu's arrival—until now, she had accomplished everything and knew that even if she recklessly died, it wouldn't affect Chu Zhu, which is why she couldn't suppress her true nature!
Of course, even so, Z still prioritized Chu Zhu's life. If Chu Zhu hadn't exposed her, or rather, hadn't seen through her true intentions, she would have gone back without hesitation...

"Alright!" After a brief silence, Z finally broke into a radiant smile, his eyes burning with what seemed like flames: "Then let's..."

The sound seemed to stop at that moment.

“…Namo Amitabha!”

"Infinite Heavenly Lord!"

"O all-knowing and all-powerful great Lord."

"..."

One after another, ancient chants rang out.

Chu Zhu's eyes widened in shock. He didn't even have time to turn his head to look around and see if the environment had changed before his vision was plunged into darkness.

……

When Chu Zhu opened her eyes again in the virtual world, her expression became inscrutable.

"Has it been discovered?"

Chu Zhu remained remarkably calm. This incident didn't surprise him. After all, the two of them had stood at the entrance to the Martian base camp for so long… it was normal for something to happen at any time! Even if nothing had happened before, something might have occurred the moment they entered Mars.

To summarize, Chu Zhu went a step further than just the information Z had given her; she incorporated all the information she had previously gathered into the summary.

“Supernatural powers! Supernatural powers.” Chu Zhu chewed on the word: “If planting and harvesting are all supernatural powers… coupled with what I mentioned in my old diary, the theory that the universe is a cesspool…”

Chu Zhu pondered. Could it be because Earth is so pure that it can cultivate supernatural beings? No… that might only be a small part of the reason…

Chu Zhu narrowed his eyes. The most unique thing about Earth should be his time travel and reset, the strange power that might exist in God, and the power hidden in the Potala Palace on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau... Hmm! Maybe there are also the West and other various places... Perhaps supernatural powers are derived from these powers!
But anyway...

"In the end, it's true that 'a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.'" Chu Zhu pursed his lips. At the same time, he realized that if extraterrestrial supernatural beings were extremely rare, then conceptual supernatural abilities must be even rarer... Therefore, extraterrestrial memory holders and prophets... might hold a status even more special and noble than he had previously imagined—

They are very likely not just leaders or high-ranking members of some alien civilization! Rather, they are extremely extraordinary and unique throughout the entire outer universe.

Composing himself, Chu Zhu frowned: "I feel like I've overlooked something..."

After thinking for a long time without finding anything, Chu Zhu shook his head and silently complained to himself, "It's probably not important. Of course, even if it is important, it's okay to remember it in the future. It can most likely be solved by resetting or jumping through timelines." Then, his expression became serious, "Z!"

A flash of light appeared, and Z's figure materialized.

“Password: xvhbnj…” Chu Zhu fluently recited a string of alphanumeric passwords: “Connect to the quantum computer in my mind!”

The moment the connection was confirmed, Chu Zhu immediately transmitted all the recordings of his previous interactions with Z. Yes, to avoid a reset and having to explain everything from the beginning, Chu Zhu simply recorded the entire process through the computer's brain.

“…How could this happen!” Z’s eye twitched. With her terrifying computing power, she understood everything in a single breath. She gave Chu Zhu a deep look, her mind churning with a thousand thoughts. In the end, she didn’t raise any questions or doubts, but simply asked seriously, “Shall we go straight to Mars next?”

“…No.” Chu Zhu uttered a single word. He stood up, paced back and forth, then suddenly stopped and asked, “Do you know the situation at the Potala Palace?”

“…Potala Palace?” Z paused, a look of confusion in his eyes: “What Potala Palace?”

"???" Chu Zhu stood there dumbfounded, then turned to look at Z and asked again. After receiving the same confused answer, cold sweat instantly broke out on her forehead: "You mean, your database... doesn't... doesn't have that Potala Palace on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau? That one of the wonders of human civilization? The Demon King's City of the East?"

Z remained silent for a long time before finally shaking his head.

Chu Zhu: "..."

He silently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. I was terrified.

The Potala Palace is among the most famous ancient buildings in the world, even in pre-civilizational times, ranking among the top five and striving for the top three!

Most importantly, Z doesn't remember... but Chu Zhu does! This is too strange... "...Go ask Nuwa!" Chu Zhu spoke very quickly.

……

The virtual world, inside the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

After learning the situation, Nuwa fell into deep thought: "First of all, my database... doesn't contain any relevant information! Of course, since you've said so, then it must exist!"

“Currently, there are several possibilities. One is that the Potala Palace is tainted with extremely terrifying pollution… Therefore, you and the other members of the Time Club in the past forcibly erased all information related to it…” Nuwa paused slightly, clearly realizing just how terrifying this possibility would be—it would truly be the complete erasure of a piece of history! Especially considering that Chu Zhu would also need to obtain information in the future…

"There's another possibility: the secrecy surrounding this information... it's a secret hidden within the Potala Palace itself, achieved through its own will..."

Chu Zhu seemed to be deep in thought, because he recalled the hidden power within his mysterious divine ability... It sounded like the two were similar in principle? Judging from the current situation... the second one seemed to be more likely!
Chu Zhu breathed a slight sigh of relief, and then, he, Z, and Nuwa tacitly stopped exchanging information about the Potala Palace: "Let's just go and force our way onto Mars!"

Mars, at worst, is just death, but the Potala Palace, which can even conceal the memories of gods... it's terrifying! Chu Zhu made up his mind that unless his good brother gave him a hint, he would never step into it... People who court death really will die!
……

Half an hour later.

The vast Mars.

Chu Zhu gripped Z's hand tightly, and Z stepped inside without hesitation.

then……

A shrill alarm sounded.

It was as if the entire planet was sounding the alarm.

Streams of divine light erupted, but all of these lights were pitch black, carrying a strong sense of ominousness and pollution.

Mars, which I saw from outer space before, was crimson red... but now, it has turned pitch black.

“…How is this possible?” Z stared intently at the scene before him, muttering to himself.

Suddenly sensing something, Z blurted out without hesitation, "Father, be careful... The entire Mars is now enveloped by the Realm of Memories... It seems like civilizations are being reenacted inside! No, not just one, I saw the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, and even the modern era of a pre-civilization..."

Before Chu Zhu could even finish listening to what Z had to say, she realized that time had started to reverse again.

……

virtual reality.

as always.

After gathering my thoughts over the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn...

"Interesting! Very interesting!"

Chu Zhu's eyes twitched uncontrollably as she continued to savor Z's last words. Indeed, the amount of information Z had conveyed was simply enormous!

This clearly demonstrates that his good friend didn't simply run off to Mars and throw his life away. He obviously accomplished something truly amazing on Mars...

"Qin, Han, Ming, Qing...modern times..." Chu Zhu chewed on his words, his gaze deep. Was Z referring to what he imagined?

"But if it's just about creating... no, creating worlds of memories, over time... they should have already developed to... no, that's not right either!"

Chu Zhu denied it, seemingly lost in thought: "It should be similar to the Realm of Memories, endlessly looping within a certain story! All the people inside are emotionless NPCs who only follow fixed procedures... right?"

Chu Zhu couldn't continue. He paced back and forth, his eyes filled with a heavy gloom, and finally, he swore, a rare occurrence for him: "Damn it!"

"Born without even an instruction manual?"

Of course, despite the criticism, Chu Zhu knew perfectly well that his best friend's decision to prevent any information from leaking out after they arrived on Mars was the right one!
After all, once Mars enters its pollution outbreak period, even an ordinary message transmitted across time and space to Earth could potentially trigger a massive pollution outbreak!

"So, what's next?" Chu Zhu pondered silently, a hint of surprise appearing on his face. He discovered that after experiencing this incident, his fifth realm memory accumulation had reached one-tenth... uh!

"Okay, it's actually quite slow!" Chu Zhu muttered to himself. After all, he had followed Z to outer space and glimpsed a corner of the truth about Mars. "I just don't know what I need to witness... to break through to the sixth realm!"

Rubbing his temples, Chu Zhu said, "Z, stop hiding, the password..."

Recite the password fluently!
Just like last time, I lost to Z in both experiences.

then……

"You will be my mentor from start to finish! To help me develop my fifth realm of divine power." Chu Zhu stared intently at Z.

"? Me!" Z revealed himself and fell into deep thought. "Not going to Mars?"

"Going there for now is pointless!" Chu Zhu said noncommittally. Knowing that the Memory Domain completely enveloped Mars was the answer in itself… Although he wasn't entirely sure whether this Memory Domain was a method his good brother used to seal Mars, or a defense against extraterrestrial civilizations… it was clear that someone at the Fifth Realm couldn't enter! They couldn't even withstand the aftershocks of the battle… or even the first wave.

Let's level up again and see if we can withstand some of the aftershocks before deciding whether to go or not! Not being qualified to participate in the battlefield is fine... but we can't get instantly killed!!

Upon hearing this, Z hesitated for a long time before finally nodding with great difficulty.

then……

Naturally, they would then conduct special training on the supernatural ability of recalling the past.

Simply learning to recall the past isn't difficult for Chu Zhu. However, what Chu Zhu needs to learn is another aspect: developing various combat techniques based on recalling the past—

It wasn't just about reminiscing about the past; Chu Zhu felt that he also needed the experience from his good brother, and he also needed special training—and, combat!

Chu Zhu had already realized that his combat experience was far too shallow. In fact, he had been in quite a few fights in the shantytown during his childhood, but the fighting style honed in those chaotic battles was clearly ineffective in combat against high-level superhumans…

Ultimately, it transformed into extreme training under Z's supervision, pushing himself to the limit until 11 PM each night, a self-inflicted reset—one grueling training session after another, one reset after another, until the reset reached its limit! His mental state reached its limit…

at last……

……

The real world.

Chu Zhu slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the familiar surroundings, and after a brief silence, he smiled silently, his gaze gradually becoming sharp.

"Then, next..."
