My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 517 The Source of the Dao, Mount God, Lucifer, and the Heavenly Net!
“That’s true,” Chu Zhu nodded slightly, recalling the information she had obtained in the past, and murmured, “Whether it’s the Immortal Realm or Heaven… it’s described as having energy far exceeding that of Earth, and cultivation being far easier than on Earth… If the true location of this place is Mars, which is directly connected to outer space…”

Chu Zhu stopped speaking and sighed. The reason he hadn't made the connection before was mainly because he had always seen Mars as a dangerous place, a den of dragons and tigers...

Now, all we can say is that these ancient giants were truly powerful. We don't know what methods they used to exempt themselves from some of the pollution... or perhaps, it's just a case of "people die for wealth, birds die for food," meaning that no matter how dangerous the situation, they had to become stronger first.

Chu Zhu pinched the bridge of his nose, pondered for a moment, and listened quietly again. However, the large ball of light then gave a bitter laugh: "Father, I don't know anything about the other you going to Mars! Of course, you should actually realize that the other you has blocked a lot of information about Mars!"

"So, the answer... isn't a question of whether you're qualified to get it from me..."

But she genuinely didn't know!
“…I see.” Chu Zhu nodded slightly, not wanting to press the giant light sphere any further, and changed the subject: “Then, what is the essence of a godhood?”

"……what?"

"Your database must contain relevant information!" Chu Zhu's voice was calm yet certain, his gaze sharp: "It is... the true source of many divine positions, the suspected origin of supernatural powers... the fundamental reason why those beings outside are spying on Earth... don't you understand?"

"Let me mention a few more keywords... Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum, Potala Palace... um, the things suppressed inside the Egyptian pyramids... and other miscellaneous places of similar special scale!"

"..." After several breaths of silence, Chu Zhu looked at the divine realms that were crushing towards him. Feeling that there was no time, his expression became more and more serious. He kept speaking and frantically urging them on.

Until the very last moment, the large sphere of light said hoarsely, "Those things, perhaps they could be called... the source of the Dao? The origin of the Great Dao? Of course, this is something another version of you learned from the records of ancient ancestors after excavating many tombs..."

"In general, there should be a portion of the Dao source... These Dao sources, in terms of attributes or symbolic roots of the Dao, are not quite the same. They absorb similar Dao sources, even if it's just a trace, degrading them and transforming them into something humans can understand and control... This might be the origin of godhood? Well, I don't really understand that... Sorry! Actually... even regarding this aspect, you only mentioned it briefly, so..."

Before he could finish speaking, the vast divine realm once again crushed onto Chu Zhu's body.

The dazzling light erupted once again...

……

Inside the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

Chu Zhu opened his eyes, his mind racing. He ignored the yellow-skinned mouse that was hopping towards him again, and murmured to himself, "...The Great Dao, the Source! Degradation, Divine Position... It was only mentioned briefly..."

"That's interesting, I see!"

Chu Zhu resolved many of his past doubts, but at the same time, even more doubts arose within him. For example, why didn't his good brother explain in detail? Was it because he couldn't or didn't want to? Well, most likely it was because he couldn't! The question was, what couldn't be said about the seventh realm...? Did he have to wait until he became a god to say it?

Although Chu Zhu really wanted to complain, he eventually let it go. After all, his good brother had at least provided some information. Besides that, he still had a question: "Why are these sources of the Great Dao located on Earth?"

If it is indeed as he guessed, the Dao Source may also have unimaginable value in the universe—after all, its influence has given birth to countless supernatural powers, and the value of supernatural powers in the outer universe is beyond doubt. It is highly likely that it is the source of the continuous harvesting by foreign civilizations—then why is such a divine object on Earth?
“Two possibilities,” Chu Zhu stepped forward, repositioning himself high in the sky, his eyes flickering slightly: “One is that Earth is just that special, a coincidence, that it contains so many sources of Dao…”

It's like the Middle East has half the world's oil reserves! Sometimes, resources are just here, right here... there's no reason or explanation needed!
"However, the chances are really slim!" Chu Zhu pursed his lips. If there were only one or two Dao Sources, he would be inclined to this explanation, but now, he already knows of three, and considering the suspected one in his mind... there might be four! And that's just what he has discovered so far; adding those unknown ones... it's really hard to say!
The number has reached this level...

Chu Zhu felt that the Dao Source might have been deliberately collected and placed on Earth...

Then the problem is coming...

"Who collected them?" Chu Zhu thought of the myths from ancient times, his gaze growing increasingly profound. God, Qin Shi Huang, the Hundred Schools of Thought—these kinds of beings were most likely special because of the Dao Source… so it shouldn't be because of them that they appeared on Earth…

With that in mind, if we continue tracing back...

"Is it the era of the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor? The Mesopotamian civilization of the Middle East? The Three Sovereigns era of ancient China... or even earlier...? Did the Three Pure Ones really exist? Chaos in Western mythology...?"

"Or is it that all the creator gods in these myths are actually shadows of that original being who gathered all the sources of the Dao and made Earth special?"

In other words, the exact myths associated with the original being may not have survived...

"The chances are very high!" Chu Zhu was more inclined to believe this possibility.

Ultimately, energy is corrupted. Considering Li Kang's account of how extraordinary power was distorted and misrepresented as martial arts within the dream world, perhaps the original collector also experienced something similar.

Because He carries an immense amount of pollution, His name cannot be revealed directly! Therefore, His deeds have been distorted into a series of myths…

To put it bluntly, early myths were simply a matter of copying each other. The Zoroastrianism of the Middle East went to India, and the legend of the ten incarnations of the invincible god of war was directly transformed into the ten incarnations of Vishnu... The same god has different forms in the myths of different regions!

If deities truly exist... then this act of blasphemy must have a reasonable explanation... If it's due to contamination, resulting in something that cannot be directly described and can only be explained through mythological derivations and variations, then it can all be explained—

Shaking his head, Chu Zhu cleared his mind of the jumbled thoughts, thought for a moment, and made a decision: "What I should do next is to sublimate and develop the six supernatural powers!"

Thus, one can become a demigod of the eighth realm!
Then, should he consider completely merging with the God of Memories to become a god? Although Chu Zhu doesn't currently know how to completely merge, he believes that when he reaches that level, his good brother will naturally consider this.

Exhaling, Chu Zhu stretched out his hand, unleashing all six supernatural powers one by one. He kept recalling his good brother's evolution in the starry sky, gradually merging the six supernatural powers towards their ultimate goal.

Time passes bit by bit.

I waited until then.

The sky was completely dark.

The Almighty Lord has arrived!

The protective power that constantly resonated with the power of the nation and the god of conquest trembled slightly. It was clearly being constantly eroded by the black mist—but Chu Zhu ignored it all.

finally.

"?? It didn't break?" Chu Zhu continued evolving until around 10 p.m. before finally stopping. He looked up at the pitch-black sky, devoid of even moonlight or starlight, feeling somewhat bewildered.

He originally thought that the barrier could only last for three to five minutes, and that it would be incredible if it could last for several hours... after all, the enemy's momentum was too overwhelming!

But now, although it trembles constantly, although it looks like it could collapse at any moment... although the message transmitted by that resonance is also like that, frantically pleading for his help—it just won't break!
This left Chu Zhu, who was prepared for a decisive battle with the Almighty Lord, somewhat bewildered. "...Okay, maybe I'm just stupid!" Chu Zhu suddenly realized something, and his expression became subtle. If the Earth barrier was so fragile, then why did the Almighty Lord insist on having the Almighty lineage use all sorts of methods, ultimately using the big orange cat as a springboard to jump in? This could only prove that the barrier's strength was indeed that high!

"God, that's really awesome..."

Chu Zhu was filled with emotion. Was this preparation she had left behind, which had defeated her future self?
"But..." Chu Zhu sighed. Even if he could defend, it was pointless! He silently sensed that darkness had swallowed all light...

Chu Zhu could feel the Earth's temperature dropping at a rate perceptible to body temperature...

Even if the barrier remains intact, humanity will ultimately perish because of this event.

"Of course, I can also use the authority of the God of Nation and Conquest! Forcefully simulate and make the ground normal... However, in that case, I must always stay awake and alive! Always use my powers!" Chu Zhu fell into deep thought, and he could only cover this phenomenon with his own country's territory.

However, Chu Zhu had no intention of doing so; he was determined to keep resetting the current situation.

"Then what should I do next..." Just as Chu Zhu was pondering whether to continue evolving until eleven o'clock, then commit suicide before midnight to return to the starting point, or to commit suicide now... Hmm?

"Something's not right!" Chu Zhu's eyebrows twitched a few times before she finally realized what had been strange about her earlier: "...If I remember correctly!"

Chu Zhu looked westward: "Are there other god-like beings on Earth...?"

After his eyes flickered a few times, Chu Zhu took a step forward, instantly traversing endless distances and arriving in the pre-civilization region of Europe...

In the northern Mediterranean, on the Southern European peninsula, lies a vast and majestic mountain range.

It possesses a unique characteristic similar to the headquarters of Tianjing C Company: soaring straight into the clouds—this is not an exaggeration, it truly pierces the atmosphere—undoubtedly the world's highest peak! Although, it did not exist in pre-civilization times…

"It looks like it was constructed by some kind of supernatural force... Mount God!"

Chu Zhu stopped at the foot of the mountain.

He saw a Western-style hall that looked somewhat similar to the Tianjing Church. At that moment, countless believers were kneeling before the hall, bowing their heads in fear and devotion.

Chu Zhu wasn't surprised. After all, it was 10 PM in China time, which should be daytime in this area. But because of the black fog, the world was pitch black... there wasn't even any starlight!
It would be a miracle if people continued their normal lives under such abnormal circumstances... It would be normal for them to come to the largest church in Europe to pray!

Chu Zhu took a deep breath, her mind racing, and made a decision. She spoke, her voice calm yet ringing in everyone's ears: "Tianwang, come out and see me!"

The once chaotic and noisy church entrance was now deathly silent. Many people looked up, glancing around with shock and disbelief on their faces! They clearly hadn't expected any miracle to occur; they had simply come for the sake of coming. Now that this had suddenly happened, they were naturally flustered.

Of course, many more people wore expressions of ecstasy, yet dared not even lift their heads, frantically kowtowing and praying—they were the typical believers.

Chu Zhu did not conceal his presence, but the people closest to him were dozens of meters away. In addition, Chu Zhu did not show any unusual phenomena at the moment and was completely unremarkable, so these people obviously did not connect him with the owner of the voice.

"...Strange!" Chu Zhu waited for a while but received no response, completely baffled. Logically, if the yellow-skinned rat was malfunctioning, shouldn't Skynet be functioning normally?
Chu Zhu didn't hesitate to send out her divine sense to probe, her brows furrowed: "...Nothing?"

Let alone the God of the Skynet... there isn't even anyone comparable to the Pope inside the church! The strongest is merely a fifth-level being! Hmm... are all the higher-ups out? Or is Mount God really that weak? That can't be, right...?

After a brief silence, Chu Zhu turned and took a few steps back to Tianjing. She arrived at the Tianjing Grand Hotel…

In a room reserved for royalty.

The siblings came out of their respective rooms, went to the hall, sat cross-legged on the sofa, and prayed devoutly.

The halos above their heads radiated a soft glow, as if a mysterious power was flowing within them.

The prayers uttered by the two were delivered in a peculiar and melodious tone.

"...Isn't this my heart still the same?" Chu Zhu appeared in the room, listened to a few breaths, and his eyes twitched a few times. Although his voice was slightly distorted, he could still recognize the general tone.

How lucky they are!
In East Asia, all sorts of Chinese words are regarded as prayers to communicate with God... In Europe, it seems even more outrageous now, with English songs being used as prayers!
The scene fell silent instantly.

The siblings, Monday and Wednesday, suddenly opened their eyes, their expressions icy, and looked in the direction of the sound. Then: "!!!"

"?" Chu Zhu felt a strange sensation, sensing that the synchronization between their movements was ridiculously high. However, he quickly realized the true nature of their actions by conquering divine authority, and looked with interest at the halos above their heads: "...Empathy?"

"..." Silence remained. When they first heard the voice, the two siblings both showed anger, but when they saw Chu Zhu, their anger vanished, replaced by identical thoughtful, even delighted, expressions.

“…Emperor God, you!” The two spoke almost simultaneously.

"To be able to see part of my true nature...you're quite remarkable!" Chu Zhu interrupted them. He was actually somewhat surprised, after all, he was quite certain that his identity information hadn't been leaked. These two, with their strength, could recognize him as an Emperor God with just a glance, which also showed their special nature—well! Anyway, they were much more special and reliable than that group at the Church of God Mountain...

Of course, what Chu Zhu wanted to know most right now was: "Lucifer, or rather Lucifer... what's the situation now? Given your current state... you should be able to contact Him, right?"

Upon hearing this, the surprise on their faces froze, and their expressions stiffened again.

"...You can't contact that person?"

"?? How is this possible... Even you..."

Chu Zhu remained silent, then sighed softly; it seemed to be the worst-case scenario.

Chu Zhu remembered that when he saw the Heavenly Net before, it was in the modern divine realm... Judging from the current situation, it is highly likely that the previous collision with the divine realm also involved Him—most likely, the damage caused to Him was even greater than that of the Great Light Sphere.

"Hmm?" Chu Zhu suddenly had a flash of inspiration. "In that case... should I go to the God Realm in the modern timeline again and see what's going on?"
