My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 501 Nations and the God of Conquest's Great Expedition to the Stars! Goodbye Howard Raven!

Chu Zhu's temples throbbed uncontrollably. He felt as if his brain was about to split open, with pollutants seeping out from the depths of his memory.

Chu Zhu tried her best to calm herself down, sort out the chaotic fragments of memory, and straighten them out one by one, while sealing away some dangerous information.

After a while.

“…Interesting!” Chu Zhu murmured, recalling the information he had saved, his heart filled with turmoil.

In history books, King You of Chu has always been a negative example—his reputation is almost comparable to that of a certain real-world deity, and a certain bald man whose faults outweigh his faults.

However, after gaining access to some of his memories, Chu Zhu understood one thing: setting aside King Chu You's political skills and reputation in the mortal world, he was undoubtedly an unparalleled powerhouse beyond imagination in the realm of the extraordinary.

It could even be said that it is stronger than imagined!
Chu Zhu was able to instantly kill him purely because the King of the Underworld had lost his divine position as the God of Conquest! He had fallen to the level of a demigod… But even so, many of these bound beings still believed he was capable of slaying a god! Although this was conditional upon them believing Chu Zhu's abilities were largely unreliable…

Chu Zhu continued to organize and savor the information. King Chu You's memories contained a wealth of information related to the solar system—and this was even with a portion of his memories sealed!
This is enough to prove just how audacious and powerful King You of Chu was at his peak—he broke so many taboos and was still able to return to be emperor. Although he eventually became the last emperor, he was capable of doing such things, so he couldn't be weak even if he wanted to!

“Even, King You of Chu once went to Mars…” Chu Zhu pursed her lips. Of course, King You of Chu did not have this information in his mind.

He was certain that Chu Zhu hadn't sealed him away because he carried pollution; he wasn't even sealed away before...

It wasn't that the memory copying method failed to replicate it, nor was it that it was deleted because he had been dead for too long... it was simply that King You of Chu didn't have it in his mind...

"There is a very high probability that this part of the information in his mind was erased before I could retrieve it!"

Chu Zhu shook her head, setting aside her obsession with the information from Mars, and continued to savor it.

To Chu Zhu's slight surprise, King You of Chu actually possessed a complete version of King Wen of Chu's grand ritual in his mind. Furthermore, King You himself also had a special version of the ritual, developed based on King Wen's grand ritual…

Although, as things stand, the ceremony has failed!

and……

"God of nations and conquest!" Chu Zhu clenched his fist, his feelings complicated.

King You of Chu controlled and utilized the divine position of the god of the nation and conquest to an extent beyond what ordinary people could imagine... Although Chu Zhu only obtained fragmented memories, he still gained a deeper understanding of the god of the nation and conquest.

"Then," Chu Zhu said enigmatically, her eyes flashing, as she looked at the remaining gods present, "everyone..."

A dead silence.

At this moment, the gods felt a sense of dread, and their attitude changed drastically. They truly regarded Chu Zhu as an existence of equal caliber to them, one who could pose a threat to them.

Because they understood all too well the true value of King You of Chu!

However, Chu Zhu did not continue to attack them. It was pointless!

Even though his memories had been sealed, he felt he was on the verge of losing control at any moment, and if he continued to plunder those memories...

Shaking his head noncommittally, Chu Zhu took a step forward, his divine power resonating, and left the Imperial Ancestral Temple with the two memory entities, leaving behind only one sentence that echoed in the ears of all beings: "See you next time!"

The people present were all bewildered: "???"

……

Chu Zhu walked slowly, his clothes transforming into a black dragon robe, and he wore a crown, looking divine and holy.

He stepped into the starry sky, lightly passing through the protective barrier of the earth, and unleashing his divine power without restraint.

At this moment, looking up at the starry sky from the ground, it felt as if a second sun had appeared in the heavens. Countless subjects of the dynasty changed their expressions at this instant, making various guesses, and some even prostrated themselves in fear.

Chu Zhu didn't care at all.

After a few breaths.

The void suddenly twisted.

“…I said, you will die!” Chu Zhu said leisurely.

The distorted void suddenly froze, as if time had stopped at that moment. Chu Zhu didn't even glance at the distorted void, his gaze sweeping across the surroundings, his tone as calm and unwavering as ever: "What I mean is, you all know how to do it!"

From Earth to the Moon, this vast region resounded with a crisp sound like shattering glass.

Countless corpses fell and shattered like rain... There were dragons, humans, tigers, phoenixes... and even the dragon girl from a previous timeline who killed Chu Zhu—at this moment, the dragon girl died just like the other beings, dying silently and without any special characteristics!
These fallen beings all possessed extremely terrifying auras. More than half of them were corrupted… and the remaining portion were actually from all races? However, their auras were all incredibly terrifying, almost none weaker than those at the seventh realm!

Hundreds? Thousands? Or even more...

Chu Zhu clicked his tongue in amazement. Such beings are extremely rare on Earth, yet they seem to be everywhere in the starry sky... Could it be that Earth is truly a so-called beginner's dungeon?

Chu Zhu may have been complaining, but no matter how outrageous their average strength was... at this moment, they were all dead.

Chu Zhu's eyes gleamed with a faint light as he swept over each of the beings, seemingly pondering their presence.

The power to conquer was activated at this moment, which can only be said to be of great help to Chu Zhu. Even the scattered fragments of memory have raised his control over the power to a higher level.

Originally, Chu Zhu could only exert his power to the fullest extent within the territory. But now, even when he travels far into the starry sky, Chu Zhu still retains the status of a god and most of his authority with every move he makes, only his power output has been halved!

"So that's how it is. Only those at the seventh level... can live and move freely in the universe?"

At this moment, Chu Zhu seemed to understand something. Although he had been to space when he was weak, he had only survived that time.

To live a normal life in space, traversing distances at the astronomical unit level, one needs to reach the seventh realm!
The seventh realm seems to represent a qualitative leap? Hmm… at the same time… he could sense that something was off about these beings in the seventh realm. More ruthless? More insane? More incomplete?
"It seems that there is more than one possibility for the extraordinary path..." Chu Zhu pondered. He could sense that most of these beings did not possess the aura of supernatural powers.

"Similar to a body cultivator?" Chu Zhu pondered for a moment before taking another step.

At this moment, Chu Zhu felt none of the perilousness of being in the starry sky; he was as peaceful as a heavenly emperor surveying his territory! A heavenly emperor.

His mind raced with thoughts of doubt. Were all these beings truly thrown out of Earth? Or was only a small portion thrown out...? If so, where did the rest originate? Mars? Or something else? Surely they weren't extraterrestrial immigrants?
“…How terrifying!” Memory Z, standing next to Chu Zhu, grinned.

The memories that make up her... also include those of her past self in a certain timeline, where, although she became a god, she secretly took Chu Zhu to Mars...

This stands in stark contrast to Chu Zhu's current unrestrained and domineering behavior.

“That doesn’t prove anything!” Chu Zhu naturally understood the meaning of Memory Z. “Ultimately, there are many enemies… ‘predecessors’ have already taken care of them for me…”

The previously sealed Ancestor Che and Ancestor Qian were likely both beings at the divine level. They should have been in outer space before...

Moreover… Chu Zhu glanced in a few directions without making a sound. What just happened doesn't mean that only these non-gods remain in space now.

Chu Zhu could vaguely sense a threat... Those beings hadn't made a move yet only because they sensed Chu Zhu's power and were observing coldly, waiting for an opportunity to strike. It didn't mean anything!
Unlocking the moon's protective barrier, Chu Zhu crashed down onto the moon.

"...Oh?" Chu Zhu raised an eyebrow. He suddenly sensed a series of powerful auras sweeping over him: "These people are up to no good!"

“Perhaps we are the ones who came from elsewhere?” Nuwa replied humorously.

Immediately, the black light landed in front of Chu Zhu with a thud.

They were enormous and strange beings.

Ten meters, twenty meters, or even thirty or forty meters...

Some beings resemble humans, like giants. Others have large areas of metallic coating, suggesting they are some kind of humanoid robot... and still others are simply Gundam-like.

So, a mechanical civilization on the moon? Chu Zhu rejected this thought the instant it crossed his mind. Because he could sense the memories of these beings before him—

He has no way of accessing memories if he is not a living being!
That's the industrial revolution controlled by Z, and the area that its subordinate data branches can cover.

Mechanical memory... Unless, all of these beings in front of me are artificial intelligence, but is that even possible?
So even though they all look like robots... they are most likely human, or other beings from various races!

"Another new era?" The being at the very front spoke in a somewhat aged voice. He was not tall, only about ten meters, but he looked exactly like a human, even with a slightly hunched back. His crystal-clear eyes moved, emitting a faint red light, as if scanning or contemplating something.

After a moment, he said, "New Emperor of the Earth, I am the High Priest of the Mechanicus! Have you come to the Moon Star to renew the pact between the Moon Star and the Earth Dynasty?"

"...What is that?" Chu Zhu tilted her head, somewhat curious.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

"???" You don't know what you're doing here?
The high priest narrowed his eyes, a glint of electricity flashing within them. He quickly realized something, a bright smile spreading across his face, his attitude suddenly becoming ingratiating: "In that case..."

"Shut up!" The two words suddenly came from afar. This was not a sound, but a divine thought fluctuation that exceeded the speed of light, extremely terrifying.

A vast, immense, and magnificent aura suddenly erupted.

A strange light flashed in Chu Zhu's eyes. She sensed that the aura was emanating from the direction of the old industrial area of ​​Guanghan Palace? And... it seemed somewhat familiar... At the same time, its intensity was extremely high! God-level? But something seemed a little off?
The next breath, a person of normal height suddenly appeared.

The emotions of the many Gundams and humanoids present underwent drastic changes.

Apart from the high priest, all the other beings knelt on one knee and bowed their heads slightly. Of course, even the high priest bowed his head slightly at this moment, showing respect.

They exclaimed almost in unison: "Your wisdom shines upon the earth! Great pioneer of machinery, servant of the god of wisdom and knowledge—"

Before they could finish speaking, this seemingly normal person suddenly knelt down before Chu Zhu, bowing deeply and saying, "I'm sorry! I've caused you trouble."

"???"

"..."

"!!!"

The scene fell silent.

All beings fell silent, their minds in chaos. The high priest, who was at the head of the group, even wondered if he was hallucinating. He looked up at Chu Zhu's direction several times before suddenly realizing what had happened. His body trembled violently, and he too knelt down with a thud.

Yes, he didn't recognize the new emperor before him, nor did he recognize the two seemingly inhuman figures beside him...

But he knew this person!
This person was one of the earliest origins of lunar civilization—

He actually knelt down? How terrifying must the person in front of him be in terms of status and power!
In any case, the high priest's judgment is definitely not something that can be simply summarized by the earthly emperor!

Chu Zhu stared at the figure before him, rubbed his temples, and said in an extremely complicated tone, "I didn't expect you to still be alive!"

"...Howard Raven!"

Howard Raven of the Golden Dawn actually... survived to this era!

"Blessed by Z, Skynet, and the goddess Nuwa! I have lived to this day in the form of a cyborg life form..." Howard said respectfully, bowing to each memory entity as he announced a name, skipping over Skynet's name: "I clearly understand my mission... So, the moment I sensed your aura, I understood that the opportunity I had been waiting for had arrived."

Howard gave a wry smile to himself. In truth, he had already awakened the moment that aura spread so unchecked in outer space. However, he hadn't connected the owner of that aura with Chu Zhu at all—

Until Chu Zhu met with the higher-ups of the Mechanicus, the information in the minds of these semi-mechanized leaders naturally flowed into the hands of Howard, who had higher authority...

When he saw that face that looked so familiar... he was so frightened that he lifted the coffin!

The higher-ups of the Mechanicus: "..."

Wait a minute!
Z... Goddess Nuwa... If they remember correctly, these seem to be...

I'm sweating profusely!
The Mechanicocracy's lineage is entirely different from that of terrestrial civilizations. They can achieve this through methods such as replacing mechs, shutting them down, putting them into a state of dormancy, and freezing contamination to a certain extent…

That is why there are even some who are considered ancient relics among them!

and so……

They knew about both. It was just that because of pollution, they had never seen their true faces!
Leaving aside Nuwa, this mother of life on Earth actually has no close relationship with the mechanical cult on the moon!

But Z, what kind of existence is that... He is the god of machinery and industry, one of the two gods of all machines revered by the Cult of Machines!
To be ranked alongside that god of wisdom and knowledge...

Even more terrifying, they simultaneously realized that what could make them both follow...

Yes, it is God! The one who launched the expedition and made the entire moon willingly bow down, God!!
Thinking back to the attitude of everyone on my side before...

'NO! ! ! !' The High Priest of the Mechanicus let out a sharp, explosive sound in his mind, sparks flying from his hair, looking as if his brain was about to be burned out by an overload of information.

There were also many other places where sparks flew from various joints.

For a moment, it was like a junkyard for discarded second-hand appliances... looking like it was about to explode!

Ignoring the chaotic scene, Chu Zhu stared sharply at Howard, enunciating each word clearly: "Right now, time is tight, this isn't the time for reminiscing! So, I'll get straight to the point—"

"What message did I leave you for you to deliver to me?"
