My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 490 Memories from the Future! Chu Zhu: Miss Su, are you from Northeast China?
Chu Zhu flicked her finger, and the power of memory flowed, slowly condensing into figures from nothing.

Kevin, Guan Qianyu, Lin Xia, Nuwa, Z!

There were five figures in total.

Chu Zhu's breathing suddenly became rapid, and she felt a large amount of her blessings being forcibly extracted. Moreover, it wasn't a one-time thing—on top of the fact that she had already been severely drained and her body was almost completely emptied, five additional outlets appeared, continuously drawing out her blessings.

but……

Chu Zhu's heart pounded, and a surge of antimatter energy flowed out from within, gradually calming her breathing.

"It's alright! Although the energy provided by the antimatter heart for the fifth realm is somewhat insufficient... but now! Hehe, in a way, I should be considered to have unlimited energy?"

Chu Zhu felt a pang of regret. As one of the ultimate products of human civilization's technology, the antimatter heart was undoubtedly extremely terrifying.

Even for cultivators at the fourth level, the energy provided by the antimatter heart can be described as inexhaustible...

A genetically modified being at the fourth level is not merely equivalent to a cultivator or body cultivator at the fourth level! Rather, they are beings whose energy is inexhaustible, who can easily deduce the enemy's attack methods, and who can calculate every possible possibility of their opponent using their computing power... They are practically invincible and terrifying beings at the fourth level!
Unfortunately……

Chu Zhu forcibly dispelled the regret in her mind, looked at the people in front of her again, and said in a complicated and inexplicable voice: "...Should I say it's been a long time!"

The number of people that can be summoned in the past is the same as their level.

Theoretically, if Chu Zhu's third-realm divine ability is "Remembering the Past" and his current cultivation level is the third realm, then he can only summon three people!
Of course, the same applies to memory abilities. At the third realm, there were only three abilities that could be memorized. But now, there are a full five abilities that can be memorized!
"A weak power." Nuwa's face was exquisite. She clenched her fist, her voice somewhat complicated. The power she could wield was naturally the same as Chu Zhu's current stage, that is, the second realm!

“It’s enough for this era.” Z smiled slightly, glanced at the phone on the table, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, and said, “What do you think, ‘the other me’?”

A brief silence.

Chu Zhu's phone screen suddenly lit up, and Z's voice came through, as cold and ruthless as ever: "Initiating scan detection! Similar figures detected... Initiating thought process, denying the possibility that they are real people... Speculating, perhaps it is a fake created by Father using his supernatural powers..."

“No, no, no! While it can be called false in some ways, it can also be called true in others.” Z extended a finger and gently shook it, a half-smile on his face: “I, perhaps, can be considered your future self… You should understand what I mean, right? After all, your memories also contain some information from the future…”

Z fell completely silent, but the screen remained lit, and the phone even started to heat up. It seemed Z was straining his computing power, contemplating something...

"...You two take it easy! Also, Z, don't burn my phone, or make the battery bulge and explode!" Chu Zhu looked at Memory Z, the self she had fooled, speechlessly. She opened her mouth several times, but in the end, she only offered a few words of advice indirectly, and sighed.

Chu Zhu looked at the others again. Apart from Nuwa, who remained calm and composed, the others' attitudes were somewhat unusual.

Guan Qianyu narrowed her eyes, gazing thoughtfully at the room where Chu Zhu was. Lin Xia's lips twitched slightly, while Kevin spoke up casually, "Boss, we don't see any enemies... Did you call us out to have a chat with you? That's not a bad idea!"

“In this situation, you don’t need to pretend to be so stupid anymore, right?” Lin Xia finally couldn’t hold back anymore. With a hint of sarcasm on his face, he looked at Kevin, narrowed his eyes, and stopped talking. Then he said, “Z, tell me the time now.”

However, Z ignored him.

“…My dear granddaughter.” Lin Xia’s expression stiffened as she thought for a moment and then looked at Nuwa, who was beside her.

Nuwa lowered her eyes slightly. Although she was a memory entity, she also possessed some characteristics of artificial intelligence. She quickly established a simulation link, and a large amount of data flashed through her eyes. While downloading and analyzing the data of the current era, she casually recited fluent numbers: "It's 2025 now, the specific time is..."

A brief silence.

Upon hearing the time, Lin Xia frowned, as if she was thinking about something to recall.

Chu Zhu pinched the bridge of her nose, recalling that the memory entities she summoned in the past were not meant to allow them to transcend time and space to descend. Strictly speaking, they were false bodies created based on Chu Zhu's understanding of them!

The personalities of those people in Chu Zhu's memories are exactly what they are... and these memory entities know exactly what they know.

If Chu Zhu didn't know the secrets of their original bodies... these summoned memory entities naturally wouldn't know either—

Unless, they are in sync with their own being.

"...This is really something." Thinking of this, Chu Zhu rubbed his temples, staring at the pile of beings in front of him, his thoughts racing... In essence, the deeper his understanding of these beings, the more real the memory bodies he summons will be, and the closer their combat power will be to his original body.

Chu Zhu's final intensive training basically involved seeking out Nuwa and Z to obtain information about the beings he could summon. He continuously deepened his understanding of them, and then summoned them relentlessly…

Of course, even so, these beings in front of us cannot be completely equated with the group of people on that future timeline—though the similarity is still quite high! After all, the virtual world really has their large-scale personality models! The quantum computer in Chu Zhu's mind even downloaded these large-scale character models.

"...Oh right, take it easy, you guys!" Chu Zhu suddenly remembered something and reminded him with a twitch in her eye, "Don't 'possess' you from this era!"

Normally, they can synchronize with their original selves! But the problem is, these memories are... their future selves!

Although they are said to be derived from Chu Zhu's memories, they also possess their own willpower as Chu Zhu perceived it. Not to mention, they were created based on character models stored in a quantum computer—

In other words, under these circumstances... they synchronize with their past selves! Their consciousnesses overlap and merge—

They will directly overcome their current selves through their extraordinary nature and willpower.

In other words, although it is not a possession in essence, the final effect is possession!

Because, in the future, memory will have an overwhelming advantage in the realm of will and consciousness...

This is also the key reason why the memory domain erases Chu Zhu's memories immediately upon considering the possibility of possessing her—it's something that Chu Zhu in the future timeline is extremely wary of! She even seems to be somewhat reactive to this...

Although Chu Zhu didn't know what he had experienced in the future that caused this stress reaction, he could roughly understand it... After all, this was quite different from Z!
After all, when Z first integrated data, it hadn't yet become artificial intelligence, and it still hasn't... it can't be considered a living entity!

But the friends and family of this era... are truly alive.

"...Alright, alright! You've said it way too many times." Lin Xia waved her hand, but a hint of disappointment still lingered on her face.

“Ah Zhu,” Guan Qianyu looked at Chu Zhu and pursed her lips, “Give the order!”

"Hmm." Chu Zhu nodded, then organized her thoughts: "Next, you will..."

……

An hour later.

Lin Xia, having finished her morning practice, yawned and went to the cafeteria floor of the China Resources Building. After glancing around, a look of confusion appeared in her eyes. Where was A-Zhu? Chu Zhu had always eaten breakfast at this time, which was why she had adjusted her schedule to now.

After all, both he and Chu Zhu are quite busy these days! They can only meet up during mealtimes...

"Could it be that I overslept?" Lin Xia rubbed her chin and made a decision: "Z, trouble..."

"I'm very disappointed in you now." A cold, emotionless voice suddenly rang out.

The scattered personnel in the canteen, including logistics staff and combat personnel from relevant departments, were having breakfast when their expressions changed drastically.

Some of the genetically modified individuals even tensed their muscles instantly and drew a small knife from their waistbands—they hadn't brought guns while eating…

Then, turning their heads warily towards the source of the sound, they saw... "???"

"!!!"

"……what?!"

"how come!"

"Two...two..."

After a brief gasp, vigilance intensified.

Standing at the entrance of the cafeteria was another Lin Xia. However, he was vastly different from Lin Xia.

Compared to Lin Xia, who was eating and still exuded a somewhat lazy air... the other Lin Xia had a cold face, a tall and imposing figure, and thick, lustrous hair.

He was flawless from head to toe, possessing a similar quality to Chu Zhu, as if he were a meticulously crafted work of art. His temperament was mysterious and aloof, and he was like an iceberg.

Lin Xia put down his chopsticks, countless possibilities flashing through his mind, such as supernatural powers, cloning... He took a deep breath, stood up abruptly, and said, "Lead the way!"

There was no question of who you were, which led to conflict and eventually a fight... such a cliché plot!
Because Lin Xia trusted Chu Zhu. Since this person dared to come to him so openly, whether he was lurking or coming openly, under Z's surveillance, the information should be known to Chu Zhu.

In this situation, if there's danger, Chu Zhu will rush over immediately. If he doesn't, it means the person in front of him is either someone Chu Zhu created, or someone Chu Zhu tacitly approved of… or worse, Chu Zhu might be powerless to deal with the person in front of him…

In any case, publicly spewing insults here, tearing off the mask of civility, and then the two sides coming to blows! That would obviously be the worst decision... and might even affect ordinary logistics personnel!

A flicker of approval crossed Lin Xia's eyes, but he said nothing, quietly turning to lead the way...

……

The top floor of the China Resources Building.

The blinding sunlight shone on the rooftop of the building, where the temperature was probably over fifty degrees Celsius. Just like Nanjing at that moment, it was like a furnace or a steamer.

Lin Xia gently clenched his fist, and the power of frost condensed, transforming into an ice sword. He casually tossed it, and the ice sword pierced right through the reinforced concrete in front of him.

“…Ice Sealing Divine Power!” Lin Xia enunciated each word clearly, cold sweat beading on his forehead. “Could it be that you are my future self… No, damn it! Golden Dawn… Is this your doing? Dream Divine Power? Or… Heh! If it’s all a lie, then everything can be explained…”

He stared intently at his other self: "If you want to implant memories of a reborn person into me, then go ahead..."

Lin Xia remembered what Chu Zhu had told him before and made up his mind. No matter what kind of reborn memories the other party wanted to implant in him! No matter how miserable it was, he would resolutely hold his ground. If all else failed... he would go to Chu Zhu as soon as possible and explain the whole situation in detail!
Then, Lin Xia instantly appeared in front of Lin Xia and sent her flying with a whip kick: "Foolish! Using your body... to memorize!"

Compared to the Lin Xia in front of Chu Zhu... the Lin Xia in front of her past self was like a completely different person.

Coldness, violence, anger, regret, helplessness... and the Riddler!

"Weak, lazy, and always saying he wants to be Ah Zhu's best assistant! In reality, as soon as he doesn't start working and doesn't push himself into that spinning top situation... he'll always secretly think, 'Will it be okay if I take a short break?'"

"During your arduous cultivation, you secretly played on your phone and secretly entered the virtual world to play games! You had Z help you cast a wide net while flirting with dozens of girls at the same time... You bastard, and what's even more bastard is that you're still so innocent! All you do is flirt with girls. If you had put in a little more effort, could you have had Lin Xinzhu born sooner?"

"Hehe, do you think Ah Zhu doesn't know these things? It's just... Ah Zhu thinks it's nice that you're taking such a leisurely life! But, seeing how tolerant he is of you, don't you feel guilty? Have you thought about regretting all of this when you're powerless in the future...? So, I absolutely cannot agree with it! I will absolutely not agree with it!"

The cold words spread in all directions, and the memory of Lin Xia instantly appeared in front of Lin Xia, grabbing his neck and lifting him high.

The pupils of the memory were filled with only coldness and hatred—hatred for Lin Xia in front of him, and hatred for his past self.

“…You!” Lin Xia struggled with all his might, but no matter how hard he pounded on his other self’s arm, he couldn’t budge it an inch. Just as he felt he was about to suffocate, his hand loosened.

Lin Xia landed hard on his backside, panting heavily and drenched in sweat, but instead of laughing, he exclaimed, "Damn it! Now I'm starting to believe... you're me from the future!"

"However, I never expected to encounter such a classic plot...! I kill myself, I hate myself... It seems I also have the destiny of a protagonist..."

"Shut up!" Lin Xia coldly uttered two words. He grabbed Lin Xia's wrist, ignoring Lin Xia's subconscious twitch. After sensing for a moment with his eyes closed, his voice confirmed, "Your cultivation still has some problems. Although the book records all the possible problems, you are ultimately too dogmatic... First of all, the Du Meridian in your body must..."

Gradually, Lin Xia went from being completely indifferent to having a thoughtful expression on his face. Finally, he became understanding, shocked, and silent. After hearing his other self finish speaking, he remained silent for a long while before saying, "So, it's because I didn't work hard enough... that I always fell just short in the final battle? In the end, because of me, we failed..."

"?" Lin Xia's expression turned strange. "You think you're worthy?"

"???" Lin Xia was stunned, dumbfounded, his brain went blank. After finally sorting out the situation, he flew into a rage: "No, if it wasn't because of my laziness... then why are you so agitated!"

"So what?" Memory Lin Xia interrupted her other self: "So, you're willing to... be a quiet bystander! Just watch silently as A-Zhu dies... and then, let yourself sink into silence for a long time, and after death, let your 'corpse' become... A-Zhu's enemy?"

Lin Xia's pupils suddenly contracted, and he fell completely silent. Memory Lin Xia did not urge his other self to act; he simply released his hand after ascertaining the situation and waited quietly.

Finally, Lin Xia stood up and, with unprecedented seriousness, bowed her head and kowtowed to the ground: "Master Lin Xia, please teach me!"

"...First, obediently change your address to 'Master'! And get the hell out of here, taking that damned word 'prison' with you." Lin Xia's face remained as cold as ever. Finally, he drew his ice sword again and held it against Lin Xia's neck: "Second, what kind of resolve did you have when you said those words..."

After a while.

Chu Zhu stared stiffly at Lin Xia, who was nearly beaten to death, and used the carbon copy function to restore her to her original state: "Well, although what I'm saying is indeed a bit... but, aren't you..."

"This was with the consent of the other me." Memory Lin Xia smiled gently, then, with a hint of shyness, made a fingertip universe gesture: "And... I was only slightly rough!"

Lin Xia, fully recovered: "..."

I'm going to work early!

You were as cold as an iceberg in front of me before, but here in front of Chu Zhu, you're acting like spring has arrived? Don't you get punished for changing your expression like that?!

Although he was cursing inwardly, after both the memory and Chu Zhu turned their gazes to him, he remained silent for a moment, then reluctantly forced a smile: "Ah Zhu... it's my choice! By the way, could you... Holy crap, what are you doing! Let me talk to Ah Zhu for a bit... NO! Fuck! Quack, Brother Lin, no!!"

Watching Lin Xia, her hands digging into the ground, being dragged away by despair, Chu Zhu fell into a long silence.

However, he would soon no longer need to think about this issue, because...

The door opened again, and Su Mobai walked in slowly. She was wearing a classic urban woman's outfit. Of course, if you looked closely, you could see that although she was wearing an urban woman's outfit, it had obviously undergone some special modifications to ensure that her combat effectiveness would not be affected in an emergency.

"...You called me so early in the morning, and then said there was no rush! What is it...?" Su Mobai asked cautiously.

Chu Zhu remained silent, staring at Su Mobai for a long while. He could have directly used Z to search for all of Su Mobai's information, but considering her possible identity… he ultimately chose to use a face-to-face conversation to ascertain the situation—this was not only out of respect for Miss Su, but also for the future Heavenly Emperor, and for Chu Zhu himself…

He took a deep breath, looked directly into Su Mobai's somewhat uneasy eyes, and said, word by word, "Miss Su Mobai, are you from Northeast China?"
