My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 500 The Gods Locked Up in the Imperial Ancestral Temple!
Those who are suspected are actually quite obvious.

Excluding Su Mobai, there is only...

“Miss Su, you have a younger sister!” Chu Zhu murmured. Su Mobai’s parents were typical, traditional Chinese parents who upheld the cultural tradition of having many children and grandchildren.

According to the information, these parents often pressured Su Mobai to get married. Of course, since they couldn't get her to marry, they simply took matters into their own hands and had a baby girl at an advanced age.

It's only six months old now.

After noting down the names, Chu Zhu's eyes flickered, then he glanced at the other information. He nodded slightly, then circled each name: a distant niece of Su Mobai, fourteen years old; and a cousin, eight years old!

"It should be these four!" Chu Zhu murmured to himself. After all, Su Mobai himself was also a candidate for God, and his ranking was actually higher than these few.

of course……

"We can't rule out the possibility that these still-active parents... might have another child!" Chu Zhu thought to himself. He closed his eyes, rubbed his temples, and finally sighed softly.

"Father!" Suddenly sensing something, Memory Z cautiously inquired, "There's been a dozen or so new people suddenly appearing downstairs at China Resources..."

"It's alright, I'll deal with them tomorrow!" Chu Zhu said calmly. These people were naturally those whose 'reborn memories' had been implanted by an extraterrestrial civilization.

Chu Zhu will make his own preparations, see how things go in the future, and then plan out an accurate training program for them.

……

Slowly open your eyes.

Chu Zhu scanned her surroundings, her expression suddenly changing drastically: "What... what's going on now?!"

This is an extremely strange place.

Thick stone pillars rise straight into the sky, supporting the heavy, massive roof! The roof emits a faint glow, making the surroundings seem as bright as day even though the sun is nowhere to be seen.

But the problem is, it's huge, so huge! It's almost frighteningly big.

"I glanced around... and it feels like this place is at least as big as an entire city in the real world... no, it far surpasses it!"

the most important is……

Chu Zhu stared stiffly at the stone pillars, where strange beings were bound—

Although the face was not clearly visible, one could feel an undeniable terror and power.

Chu Zhu was no longer the naive man he once was. He had faced gods head-on more than once, and had even pieced together over thirty complete demigod memories. With his broad perspective, he instantly discerned that among these beings were those comparable to gods. Moreover, even the remaining non-gods were demigods, second only to the gods—

But how could there be so many?!
After a brief silence.

“…Nuwa!” Chu Zhu lowered her eyes, and frowned when she didn’t hear a response: “Z!”

Still no response!

Chu Zhu sensed something was wrong. Had something happened again? But it didn't make sense. Before he fell asleep, he had clearly made up his mind to do whatever it took to keep Nuwa and Z alive and help him... Or perhaps, something else had happened in between?
After much deliberation, Chu Zhu finally said, "Nuwa No. 17! The Hive!"

The next moment, a calm voice rang in his ears.

"I'm here!"

"Father, what is it?"

Chu Zhu's expression turned somewhat grave. Now it was certain that there was a problem! Forcibly suppressing his myriad thoughts, he examined the gods and demigods hanging high above, silently estimating in his mind that there were fourteen in total!

He snapped his fingers, and two figures suddenly stepped out from beside him. They were none other than Memory Z, Memory Nuwa.

Then, the situation changed drastically.

The gods and demigods, who had been bound and looked like dead pigs, seemed to have been stimulated by something powerful and came back to life.

They struggled, the chains clanging and rattling, causing the entire ancient hall to tremble.

"Empress Nuwa!!!"

"Black Emperor!!!"

"The Ink Saint!!"

"MOSS!"

"?" Chu Zhu's eye twitched. What did the last one mean? Was it from The Wandering Earth? After a moment's thought, it dawned on him that it might be a transliteration of Mo Sheng... If so, it was quite amusing!
"How terrifying!" Nuwa patted her chest, but her voice was completely flat, as if she were reading aloud. She looked around with great interest.

Z, with a serious expression, fluently requested permissions from Chu Zhu, then began to directly connect to the local database and mobilize intelligence. His eyes quickly showed a ripple: "Father... this is still the Imperial Ancestral Temple!"

"As expected." Chu Zhu's emotions remained completely calm; it would be strange if this weren't the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

“These guys!” Z glanced at the group of beings before him, his voice tinged with complexity: “If nothing unexpected happens, the three at the very front… are King Wen of Chu, Ancestor Che, and Ancestor Qian. Besides them, there are god-level beings, the Ancestor of the Divine Dragon, the Ancestor of the Giant Dragon, or rather, the Dragon of Consciousness and Mind… and the rest are emperors who have reached their peak… demigod-level emperors?”

"..." Chu Zhu's pupils slowly widened. Even though she had been mentally prepared when she sensed the strength of these beings, she was still shocked by this news: "This, this kind of thing... Could it be! Well! It's simply..."

Considering that in this timeline he actually needs to directly meet these founding emperors and obtain sufficient information from them, then given the overall plan, it's quite reasonable for this to happen... What a load of rubbish!
How outrageous must it be to lock up more than one being at the level of a god in the Imperial Ancestral Temple like a dog? What exactly is this worldline...? And if their strength is truly that great, then why are Nuwa and the Z people gone?

"...Get my diary!" Chu Zhu said succinctly.

“Um!” Z fell into a brief silence, until Chu Zhu looked at her with confusion, then she cautiously spoke, “I’m very sorry, but I didn’t detect any diary information in the local database! We can’t rule out the possibility that the diary might be hidden underground in Jinghai City…”

Chu Zhu's brows furrowed even more deeply. It would be strange if the diary were over there, wouldn't it? After all, his good brother should know exactly where he slept when he last left… Where should he put the diary…?

In other words, either there was no diary at all... no, he hadn't intended to get rid of this habit before, so we can deduce that the diary had a problem and was therefore deleted, or...

suddenly.

The being bound to the pillar closest to Chu Zhu stopped. It stared at Chu Zhu, as if it had realized something. However, this action seemed to have touched some taboo. The chains suddenly clanged, binding it even more tightly, causing it to let out a muffled groan. But it ignored the consequences and revealed its true form.

That was Su Zheng!
His eyes held a calm and sincere expression: "Father! I've been framed by a treacherous villain... Now, I've fallen into this trap! Save me... Ahhh!"

His action caused divine light to flow over the chains!

Chu Zhu's eye twitched. After a moment of silence, she looked at Nuwa again: "This should be considered your home turf, right? You have more information in your hands... than Z, right?"

"What do you want to know?" Nuwa asked in return.

"Does the database record these grand ceremonies of the founding emperor?" Chu Zhu asked, emphasizing each word.

"...It was recorded, but it's useless!" Nuwa's expression was somewhat subtle: "According to the above description, these final grand rituals, after their modifications...contain many mysteries at the divine level. With your current power..."

Chu Zhu pondered for a moment, then raised her eyelids and memorized the specific grand ritual projected by Nuwa, before asking again, "So, to become a god... okay, I understand!"

Having understood something, Chu Zhu naturally moved on from the topic. He pursed his lips and asked, "So, did the remaining information relate to... how I break through to the sixth realm?"

“…Yes!” Z interjected, but his expression was strange: “It says you need to become the Emperor of Memories!” “?” Chu Zhu was stunned. What did that mean?!

Z shrugged. "That's all..."

"This is ridiculous!" Chu Zhu found herself laughing in exasperation. When did these guys become riddle solvers?!

“I know!” Su Zheng said, his tone slightly hurried: “Generally speaking, becoming an emperor is actually short for becoming a ruler! In other words, the essential meaning is actually making you the ruler of memories!”

“That’s how it is!” another being spoke up.

Someone sneered: "I suggest you go outside now... and kill all the lives in the world! If you are the only one left in the world, you will naturally become the ruler of your memories! In that case... hehe! Becoming your own emperor is still being an emperor."

“…You’re going too far!” one of the beings tied to the pillar retorted coldly. “This guy in front of me isn’t stupid… You’ve suggested this method! Even if it works, how could he possibly…”

"Wait, you mean... it really works!" Chu Zhu's eyes flickered, as if she had something on her mind.

There was a brief silence.

Su Zheng: "?"

Other gods: "??"

The numerous demigods: "???"

However, Chu Zhu didn't say much to this group of people, but instead...

Chu Zhu committed suicide. With that, she left the Imperial Ancestral Temple!
Floating in the sky, Chu Zhu looked at the familiar capital city before him, let out a long breath, and his gaze became distant. Then he said, "Z, Nuwa, from now on, I'm entrusting all the unmanned machines to you... and then!"

Half a day later.

Chu Zhu ascended the throne again.

Next, without hesitation, he rushed back into the ancestral temple: "Nuwa, Z, can you two preside over the grand ceremony? Let me inherit the divine position!"

The two memory units exchanged a glance, their expressions becoming extremely interesting.

Inside the ancient temple, the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

Both exerted their full authority, yet they only managed to create ripples in the void.

"Feel sorry……"

"We really are!"

Ashamed expressions appeared on both of their faces. Their strength was ultimately too weak. Even though they could sense the approximate location of the divine position by virtue of their own special characteristics, they were ultimately unable to truly control its manifestation in the world.

Before the two memory entities could finish speaking, a faint glint appeared in Chu Zhu's eyes. Without hesitation, he took a step forward, reached out and grasped the void. At that moment, a dazzling divine light burst forth, resonating with the light of nationhood and conquest in his mind.

The incredibly smooth, dazzling divine light merged into Chu Zhu's body, and Chu Zhu's aura rapidly increased.

When Chu Zhu opened his eyes again, he found that the whole world looked completely different to him than before.

He became a god! Everything happened so naturally and logically.

A dead silence.

Those gods and demigods who were bound to the stone pillars, watching coldly, thinking that Chu Zhu could do nothing and would eventually come to them for help, all froze, their hearts churning with turmoil, or questioning the meaning of life.

"...This guy! What is he?"

"Detect and organize the data! Start analyzing and thinking! Can't understand... Think again... Still can't understand!"

"?! How can he be so skilled... Could he have been a god of nations and conquest in the past?!"

"Inhuman."

"..."

Most of those bound to the stone pillars had once been emperors, and had touched the divine throne of the gods of nations and conquest. Therefore, they knew all too well just how anomalous this situation truly was!
Chu Zhu surveyed the many beings atop the stone pillar with great interest. After pondering for a while, he made a decision and snapped his fingers.

With a loud clang, the stone pillar, which was the sixth furthest from Chu Zhu, suddenly trembled, and its chains were released.

"???"

"!!!"

"Wait, this..."

"You actually have the authority to..."

"..."

The figure with disheveled hair and a face slowly landed.

King You of Chu took a deep breath and said in a cryptic tone, "Ah, the air of freedom!"

He looked at Chu Zhu, a smile playing on his lips: "Thank you!"

His tone was very sincere.

"Not only did you give me freedom... but you even placed me in this 'fertile granary'! I will remember your kindness..."

"...You bastard, release us now!" Ancestor Che almost roared, "Although you have become a god, your foundation is unstable! Do you know that this guy was once a god of nations and conquest? If he kills you and forcibly takes yours... then what will happen next..."

Next breath.

Chu Zhu suddenly appeared in front of King Chu You. He clenched his fist, and a dazzling divine light erupted at that moment: "I am the undertaker destined to destroy everything!"

A single, decisive blow at the funeral!

This move, with its extremely cheesy name, is one of the ultimate moves that Kevin forged in a certain reincarnation.

King Chu You's pupils dilated; before he could even dodge, his head flew off. Wisps of black mist seeped into his blood mist… Theoretically, someone of his level should be able to survive even if his head were severed, or even if his body were to disintegrate, leaving only a drop of blood. But now…

His body swayed slightly, then King You of Chu collapsed to the ground with a thud. All life force within him was extinguished!

Chu Zhu watched this scene quietly, silently counting in her mind. When she felt that the time was almost up, she stepped forward, pressed down on Chu Youwang's head which had fallen to the ground, and used the memory replication technique. Generally speaking, the longer the time has passed since the person whose memories were replicated died, the more blurred the memories would become.

Directly obtaining the memories of a demigod, or even a stronger being, is too exciting, so Chu Zhu used this roundabout method, which is equivalent to adding a firewall.

In the next instant, a flood of information burst forth in his mind.
