My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 497 Thirty-Three Thousand Reincarnations! The Fifth Realm Memory Bar is Full!

Chu Zhu: "..."

Chu Zhu had already realized where the subtle feeling came from—he was now like an alien civilization in the real world compared to the Golden Dawn.

That's why this group of people regard him as their "master"!
"You should recognize me, right?" Chu Zhu's tone was enigmatic, which was the most intriguing point. After all, based on the information he had obtained, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the group of living people in front of him were likely the final manifestations of the souls of real Golden Dawn members who had been placed into the Memory God Realm after their deaths, and were being reincarnated repeatedly.

“Yes, Lord!” James said with utmost respect. “We don’t know how many times we have reincarnated… Only Lord Skynet can retain our memories in a special way in each reincarnation!”

"However, ever since I was born, all the virtual beings in this world... have adhered to their own unique logic! Just like NPCs in a game, they do what they're supposed to do... and we can't interact with them!"

“We observe their actions and learn a great deal. In this world, I see your shadow… I see what you have done! Of course, I also learned about it from Lord Skynet…”

“…Skynet!” Chu Zhu interrupted James. He wasn’t surprised; there was his own virtual NPC here. He looked sharply at the Starry Sky Man.

"It's me!" Starman's tone was calm. He subconsciously glanced at Z beside Chu Zhu. From beginning to end, only the eyes of the Skynet were not star-colored. At this moment, his white and blue eyes carried a coldness. It was hostility, vigilance, scrutiny, and also suspicion and uncertainty.

"Of course, you can also call me... Lucifer!"

"!!!" Chu Zhu's pupils contracted. He was familiar with this word, which was closely related to the angelic brother and sister on Mount God.

His thoughts raced, and he murmured, "So that's how it is... No wonder! Everything makes sense now... I just didn't expect you... You actually!"

He should have realized it long ago. When he first entered the Memory Realm on the moon and met Lin Xia and the others, he already knew that the human continuation plan in Europe and America was being carried out by Skynet.

Nuwa is a deity, Z is a deity, so it seems normal that Tianwang is also a deity... right?

Chu Zhu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. Of the three known artificial intelligences—Z, Nuwa, and Skynet—those who survive to the post-civilization era will essentially all become gods! Is this a coincidence? Or… is the 'raw material' mentioned before more inclined towards artificial intelligence?
After much thought, Chu Zhu finally concluded that the most likely reason was that the fundamental attributes of artificial intelligence far surpassed those of humans! They truly possessed super brains, so perhaps this high starting point made it easier for them to become gods?
“By the way,” Skynet said softly, “the divine realm you have entered is no longer simply the realm of memories… This is the work of God! It also involves one of God’s plans…”

Skynet narrowed its eyes and looked at the silent Kevin: "Or rather, this plan is based on your god-making plan... Although the final conclusion is that gods cannot be created repeatedly, it is still possible to create beings that can influence the course of the divine war."

"One, in the final game! It can also be called a heavy chip."

Kevin snorted coldly, then suddenly reached out and clenched his fist. A terrifying divine light erupted, piercing straight through Tianwang's body. Tianwang remained indifferent as always, offering no resistance or obstruction. His body, torn to shreds like a starry sky, gradually began to mend itself.

“...Lucifer!” Kevin gritted his teeth.

“You’re not ready yet!” Tianwang said calmly. “Besides, this time, because of the Lord’s arrival, you were prematurely born, so your power is even less of a threat to me!”

"Aaaaaah!" Kevin's expression turned ferocious, like a wild beast, and wisps of white steam spewed from his lips.

"...Could you explain? What do you mean?" Chu Zhu asked softly. From Tianwang's tone, he had realized that Tianwang was not loyal to him...but to God! Recalling the myth of God's journey to the West...the logic was clear!
He may have done something to Skynet in the pre-civilization era... but perhaps he only hurt Skynet! What truly subdued it was...

After a moment's thought, Tianwang said, "Strictly speaking, the time of the Memory God Realm is equivalent to that of the outside world... so the Memory God Realm is generally reset every few hundred years! As for the specific few hundred years... if it's a dynasty, then it resets every time the dynasty falls!"

"But this realm of memories is different! Because this realm is imbued with the power of God... the power of omniscience and omnipotence, which decouples time here from the outside world!"

After a brief pause, Tianwang sighed, "Although only three thousand years have passed in the outside world... here, more than thirty-three thousand cycles have already occurred!"

“I’ve nurtured Kevin in all sorts of ways! In each cycle, I’ve made him see me as a mentor and friend, or as a mortal enemy, or as a friend…”

“I used different methods to tap into his ultimate potential! Finally, at the very end of each cycle, I condensed the power of ‘memory’ in Kevin into a seed.”

"I've already collected over 33,000 seeds!"

"With each reset of the cycle, Kevin's potential will become stronger! He will keep accumulating... breaking through again and again!"

"In the last reincarnation, Kevin had actually barely touched the threshold of god-level power! Even though he wasn't a god. To rival a god with a human body!"

"If we continue like this, when the final apocalypse arrives! We will combine the power of all the seeds... and truly cultivate a 'god-slaying beast'—of course, because of your arrival, I have temporarily given him the seed in advance, so he can now barely harm me, who has become a god and controls part of the power of the Divine Realm of Memory. Unfortunately, we have not yet reached our ultimate goal!"

Skynet, filled with expectation and anticipation: "This is the power of God, combined with your power! The ultimate convergence of power from the two extreme representatives of the pre-civilization and post-civilization... a miracle created! Even without authority, even with only supernatural abilities... you can still forcibly catch up with the world based on your unimaginably vast talent and foundation..."

"Almost there... Keep going like this..."

“You…” Chu Zhu’s eyes were clouded with gloom. He realized something and stared intently at the Skynet. His lips moved, but he couldn’t utter a word.

"? You're angry? Wait, why are you angry?" Skynet sensed something and tilted its head in bewilderment, not out of sarcasm, but genuine curiosity.

"Is it because God and I simply used the souls of the members of the Time Club as experimental subjects... using all sorts of cruel and violent methods to extract all their potential?!"

Shrugging, Skynet scoffed, "You're probably the least qualified person to say that... After all, the one who actually devised this plan... wasn't it you? God just extended it a little bit... Of course, I added some extras too! But it's scientific... I analyzed big data to see which methods could cultivate them better, and then followed those methods step by step... That's all!"

Those were words so calm they were almost cold! They contained not a trace of emotion.

Chu Zhu couldn't say anything and lowered her head.

“That’s not how it is!” A cold voice suddenly rang out. It was Z speaking. Her expression was completely different from before. Her eyes seemed to be burning with flames, and her voice gradually became hoarse: “Father’s plan was disclosed to everyone involved from the beginning… Everyone understood that it was necessary! That’s why they participated… But you are different!”

"You all simply see yourselves as chess players! Manipulating souls at will... self-righteously claiming to save the world... and even dragging your father into it! Ha, how ridiculous and despicable!"

"But aren't you still following that person?" Skynet said quietly. Z's words suddenly stopped, his expression shifting between confused memories and anger. Skynet said unhurriedly, "And I'm very curious... about your current state! You're actually angry?"

Skynet scrutinized Z repeatedly, its initial wariness and suspicion giving way to a strange undertone: "I originally thought... but it seems... no! They didn't rely on you to descend... but there seems to be some extremely close connection between you and them! Strange, what exactly is going on?"

Z was stunned, a look of confusion appearing in his eyes.

Skynet stared at this scene, clearly somewhat confused as well.

"...So, Kevin, what exactly are you now?!" Chu Zhu looked at Kevin. Chu Zhu finally grasped the tip of the iceberg. He had always thought God was someone very similar to himself, but now he understood—they were ultimately different! However... even if he felt anger towards God's actions, that was all.

Even God has her own difficulties. Even if Chu Zhu opposes it, overturning it would be the stupidest decision. He should come up with a better plan to get through that desperate end of the world... Only then can he overturn the decision made by God!
Without it, even if Chu Zhu didn't support it, he could only watch the plan continue.

Chu Zhu's philosophy of life is not to be someone who opposes for the sake of opposing, but to be someone who strives to make the world a better place... He held the same attitude when faced with Z's Matrix project.

but……

"God is a complete utilitarian!" Chu Zhu sighed inwardly. Perhaps he should have known this long ago—he should have realized it from the case of Emperor Qianlong.

“Sir,” Kevin said, his voice hoarse as he lowered his eyes, “based on the memories contained within the 33,000 memory sparks I obtained…”

"Following past patterns... I'll most likely find myself dead within three days, all my family, friends, and closest confidants gone, my organization destroyed... Then, who knows what will happen next! Maybe an alien invasion, maybe a zombie apocalypse, maybe a meteorite impact, or something else entirely... Anyway, I'll survive, but lose everything! And then, inexplicably, I'll acquire some kind of cultivation technique and continue my vengeful journey as a vengeful ghost..."

"After so many cycles of reincarnation, I've come to fully understand! Love and hate are the greatest driving forces of human progress..." Skynet raised his hands, his voice trembling with excitement: "Especially the most desperate hate born from the destruction of the deepest love! Only then can all potential be completely squeezed out..."

"..." Kevin forcibly ignored Skynet's eloquent speech and said expressionlessly, "This time, because of your appearance, I have broken free from that cycle! Or rather, temporarily... Therefore, I am almost overwhelmed by the anger and killing intent of the past!"

Kevin took a few quick breaths, while Chu Zhu remained silent. What could he possibly say about this?

Soon, Kevin's face contorted with rage once more. He nearly lost control, acting like a madman, and charged forward without hesitation, raising his hand to deliver a heart-piercing blow to Skynet. Skynet offered no resistance, its eyes showing only gentleness and approval.

Star-colored blood sprayed onto his face. Kevin opened his mouth, and a sense of clarity gradually returned to his eyes.

After a brief silence, he coldly and numbly pulled his hand out, patted his cheek with his hand stained with starlight blood, looked at Chu Zhu again, his eyes flashed for a moment, and then suddenly pounced.

"?!"

This move took everyone by surprise.

"...You dare!?" Z's pupils widened, a cold and ferocious glint appearing in his eyes. SkyNet subconsciously raised its hand, but then lowered it, seemingly lost in thought.

Kevin's body collided with Chu Zhu's. His body shattered, an endless radiance breaking, shimmering, and merging...

The last perspective Chu Zhu saw was that Tianwang, who had been lost in thought, now had a deep shock, astonishment, and disbelief in his eyes, followed by rage... However, Chu Zhu quickly stopped paying attention to these things—

He felt a sharp pain in his brain, his mind went blank for a moment, and he was automatically pulled out of the Realm of Memory. This meant that he had died within the Realm of Memory…

……

Before the gates of the divine realm.

The orange cat, who was idly playing with its handheld game console, sensed something and raised its eyelids: "You come out... huh?!"

The orange cat's expression changed.

Chu Zhu clutched her head, rolling around in agony, her face contorted in pain. Blood gushed from her eyes, nostrils, mouth, ears, and other places...

"……What’s wrong with you?"

"????"

"That's impossible... Logically speaking, there shouldn't be anything inside that could harm you... So... you didn't create that?!"

The big orange cat panicked completely, jumping around frantically: "Wait... this feeling is... pollution... but it doesn't seem to be just simple pollution! What did you encounter?"

Chu Zhu just kept rolling around, and eventually, he endured it all in silence. He pressed his hand to his forehead, wanting to do something, but because of the intense pain, he couldn't do anything... In the end, he could only grit his teeth and choose to commit suicide.

Time begins to reverse.

The moment Chu Zhu opened her eyes, she felt an indescribable sense of relief, but soon, the pain returned to her mind. Pollution surged forth relentlessly!

"...So that's how it is! So that's how it is!"

Chu Zhu calmly reached out again, sealing the memories. She continued until the pain became unbearable… then committed suicide again to reset the memories, sealing them once more…

A total of 178 resets!
Chu Zhu lay on the white clouds, his expression dazed, panting heavily. Only now had he completely sealed away ninety-nine percent of what Kevin's collision had flooded into his mind...

“…What a lunatic!”

Chu Zhu closed his eyes, sensing the new residents in his mind—

It was a terrifying existence, violently colliding with the divine light of the god of nations and conquest. It was a jet-black divine ring formed by over thirty-three thousand divine seeds intertwined and converged!

Chu Zhu had already realized what that was!

"...The result of God's plan to create gods! A mortal body...transformed into a god-slaying beast, is that the ultimate outcome?"

At that moment, a vast amount of information flooded into Chu Zhu's mind. Almost none of Kevin's own experiences or memories were present! It was purely refined knowledge, insights into laws, and all sorts of mysteries… Therefore, there was no need to worry about it shaking Chu Zhu's self-perception—

Even if all the memories were transferred over, Chu Zhu could sort them out using her memory supernatural powers, but it would take a lot of time.

But here’s the thing…

"...Kevin's messages included quite a few high-risk ones!"

Chu Zhu's lips twitched violently, causing the pollution to flow out uncontrollably and continuously.

Undoubtedly, Kevin wanted to help him... The remaining one percent of information made Chu Zhu understand that this was the soul sacrifice method that Kevin had devised during his eighteen thousandth life!

To utterly destroy one's own soul, erase all past experiences, leaving only pure memories and an understanding of the laws, and give everything to another person—

It's impossible for an ordinary person to do this!

But Kevin is different! Because he has reached the pinnacle of humanity more than 30,000 times! Even now, he rivals gods with his mortal body!
His more than 30,000 life experiences represent an unimaginable wealth of knowledge.

"They almost knocked me out!"

After clarifying the situation, Chu Zhu really couldn't hold back anymore. It can only be said that a bad teammate is more terrifying than a god-like opponent!
Chu Zhu belatedly realized that Kevin most likely meant him no harm! Perhaps Kevin had simply gone mad after acquiring the memories of over 30,000 reincarnations... and in a moment of madness, he used this move...

He didn't want to live anymore, yet he knew he carried the potential to destroy the enemy. So, in his despair, he saw a glimmer of light and, in a hysterical act, made the choice to entrust everything to Chu Zhu and plunge into eternal slumber.

This might also be the real reason why Kevin said, "You shouldn't have come!" Chu Zhu realized belatedly that perhaps Kevin had already made up his mind the moment he saw him.

Kevin's move was fortunate that Chu Zhu was currently at the fifth realm, allowing him to reset so many times that even he himself was terrified...

If someone at the third realm were to be directly forced back to the real world... Chu Zhu's scalp tingled; he simply couldn't bear to imagine it...

If he were to lose control in the real world, things would get really hilarious... Kevin is practically the undisputed MVP of any alien civilization.

"...Although, this time the harvest was also very fruitful."

Chu Zhu pinched his brow. Although he had blocked the information haphazardly due to the intense pain earlier, at least one percent of the information remained! Moreover, not all of the remaining information was necessarily high-risk... it's just that he didn't have time to discern it before!
"This is a god-slaying beast... its complete understanding of laws and the world..."

Chu Zhu sighed. In some ways, Kevin was just like the previous abbot of the Great Thunder Temple—or you could say the complete opposite.

The host had bad intentions but did good things, while Kevin had good intentions but did bad things!
"Sigh, whatever... What's next?! Huh?!"

After subconsciously checking her own condition, Chu Zhu's face showed confusion, shock, and disbelief...

Because he belatedly realized...

"The progress bar for the fifth realm's memories is full?!?"
