My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 518 Modern Divine Realm! Possessing divine combat power despite not being a god!
Chu Zhu closed his eyes slightly, constantly sensing, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper: "...Something's not right!"

Can't find it?

Chu Zhu opened his eyes, ignoring the two figures before him. After pondering for a few breaths, he turned around, took a few steps, and this time arrived outside the Imperial Ancestral Temple. He re-entered the temple and saw the yellow-skinned rat!

After describing the problem she had encountered, Hive One blinked, her voice carrying a hint of subtlety: "You asked me this question? This..."

"What's wrong?" Chu Zhu sensed that something was amiss.

The yellow-skinned rat rubbed its black nose and muttered, "Even when I controlled the Infinite Divine Realm, I couldn't do anything to that place!"

After a brief pause, she continued, "After all, that place holds the most... modern souls!"

"?!" Chu Zhu realized something. "Explain in detail."

"Cough cough..." The yellow-skinned mouse's eyes darted around.

"Well, actually I'm not quite sure, or rather I think you understand better than I do—many of the forbidden beings in the numerous Infinite God Realms were actually renowned extraordinary individuals from the pre-civilization era! And most likely they were cultivators... So, if you're just an ordinary person, you really can't go to other Memory God Realms... As for the reason, you should understand?"

Chu Zhu remained silent. Yes, he understood! Because the number of high-level extraordinary individuals, or more accurately, cultivators, that could be born from a single Memory God Realm was limited—not in terms of world level, which might be an issue, but Chu Zhu didn't know that.

He was thinking about the issue of ritual!

Just like how his breakthrough from the fourth realm was incredibly difficult—if it weren't for the reset and cheat-like power-up, the difficulty would have been unimaginable.

Because at higher stages, it's highly likely that the prerequisites for breakthroughs in different supernatural abilities are contradictory—

For example, what if several supernatural beings have the ultimate goal of unifying the world? Even if they could travel abroad and conquer a new vassal state to barely replace it... the number of such states outside the realm is limited!
Therefore, the number of powerful individuals that can be born in a world is limited...

Throwing all the souls into this place evenly will only cause internal friction!
Selecting a group of people and nurturing them in the vast world... this is the most reasonable approach—of course, it also means that those selected will be the elite of the elite.

Chu Zhu also realized that the source of this group of people... was probably a large part of the hundreds of thousands of cultivators who overlapped on several world lines.
"So, apart from those who enter the myriad worlds, most of them end up..." Chu Zhu paused, then sighed, "Well, since we're not planning to train them, letting them live in the modern divine realm, leading lives similar to their past ones... is indeed the best course of action!"

Chu Zhu understood why the yellow-skinned rat said that she had no right to interfere during the Great Light Sphere era—this world, which carries a massive number of souls, is obviously special!
“However,” after hesitating for a while, the yellow-skinned rat still probed indirectly, “it’s normal that I can’t interfere… but what about you…”

The yellow-skinned mouse blinked: "Could it be...is there a possibility...I mean! Hmm."

"...I understand." Chu Zhu made a pause gesture, his gaze somewhat profound. The Hive was essentially his good brother's butler, but he was his good brother himself... How could he not be qualified to enter? Unless, this was actually a threshold deliberately set up by his good brother!

This threshold can stop others... but it absolutely cannot stop him! What exactly is it about him... that makes him special? His best friend knows it perfectly well, and he'll use it as a threshold...

"But from this perspective, could it be... that my good brother has made preparations for the possibility that I might not obtain the divine power of memory? Hmm... that makes sense. The source of the Dao in Qin Shi Huang's tomb is most likely what Qin Shi Huang wanted to regain control of after his resurrection... but it seems that the Heavenly Court has intercepted it..."

Chu Zhu's mind raced with thoughts. If it really was someone from a later civilization who obtained it, what if that person harbored ill intentions towards the people of the previous civilization...? And then they found the memory domain that housed the massive number of souls from the previous civilization...

The consequences are truly unimaginable...

"In that case! The answer... perhaps..." Chu Zhu had a vague guess. She soared into the sky, breaking through the atmosphere without hesitation.

The terrifying pollution swept in like a tidal wave.

Chu Zhu indifferently spread her arms: "...Come out here!"

One after another, illusory orbs of light swirled around him. Journey to the West, Dream of the Red Chamber, Water Margin, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio… Naruto, One Piece, God of War…

"Sigh, I even thought I'd try my luck and see if I could forcibly summon the Modern God Realm... but it just didn't work out!" Chu Zhu let out a long sigh, not too disappointed... after all, he said he'd try his luck!
The next instant, a pitch-black palm suddenly slammed out from the black mist.

This time, Chu Zhu didn't even make a move. One of the world spheres from among the countless worlds revolving around him suddenly collided with that pitch-black palm and shattered—

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Then, it unleashed a light of annihilation that could almost be described as terrifying...

Chu Zhu stood quietly in place. The essence of the annihilating light was memory, so it naturally did not harm Chu Zhu when it passed through his body... However, it also tore open, or more accurately, created a perfectly normal starry sky in the terrifying and endless black mist.

"...Wow, that's amazing!" Chu Zhu exclaimed. This normal starry sky was roughly the size of Earth, and it was still expanding.

Well, it's probably because the area inside this world sphere is equivalent to that of Earth, so the initial explosion revealed such a vast territory... As for how much clean land the ripples from the explosion will eventually create, and for how long?

"Never mind, it's not important..." Chu Zhu silently sensed the direction and strode over. He didn't think that this explosion would be enough to kill the Almighty Lord—if it were that easy, he would have killed Him long ago!

Chu Zhu arrived at the edge of the Pure Land. Although it was still expanding, Chu Zhu did not wait. It blasted several more World Spheres, tearing open one black mist forbidden zone after another, displaying its overwhelming power...

A few breaths later, Chu Zhu arrived...

"...Where's the moon?!"

Chu Zhu stood on the empty outer orbit, his face blank. According to his calculations, his current location should be the moon's current position...

"Could it be because my calculations were slightly wrong... that the World Sphere destroyed it? That's impossible... I haven't seen any fragments of the moon!" Chu Zhu was completely baffled.

"or……"

Chu Zhu's body suddenly froze, a shadow falling over his eyes. The Almighty One had moved the moon? Why?
Recalling the past, Chu Zhu rubbed his face, sighing inwardly, "Although... there's an omnipotent master who figured out the key I had previously thought of... so there's a possibility of them acting ahead of time! But the chances are really slim..."

After all, the Almighty Lord doesn't seem to have any brains... In other words, it might just be bad luck! The other side took advantage of him...

"It seems there's no way out for me this time!"

With this in mind, Chu Zhu did not hesitate and rushed into the black mist alone.

The moment Chu Zhu sensed the Almighty Lord's attack, he unhesitatingly transformed world orbs into disposable "bullets" and launched them continuously at the Almighty Lord.

...A completely new life.

Chu Zhu remained indifferent, watching the Infinite Divine Realm, which had begun to crumble upon sensing his power. This time, he didn't even summon the Great Sphere of Light, but charged forward without hesitation.

"The continuous attacks did indeed inflict sustained damage on the Almighty Lord! They even annihilated Him for a short time... But after only a few breaths, He emerged again from the black mist! Does that guy have some kind of resurrection mechanism, connected to the black mist?"

"That's why I hate enemies the most... those that have both stats and mechanics!" Chu Zhu cursed inwardly, completely disregarding the fact that he himself was also a cheater with both stats and mechanics.

With his proactive cooperation, the speed at which the God of Memory merged into the divine position this time was ridiculously fast!
I awoke in the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

"...What happened?!"

"Something's wrong... My house is gone!"

The yellow-skinned rat let out a sharp screech and leaped about. Because Chu Zhu hadn't communicated with her at all this time, everything seemed inexplicable from her perspective! It even made her a little panicked, wondering if some unprecedentedly powerful enemy had attacked?
But the next moment, the yellow-skinned mouse saw Chu Zhu, and just as suspicion appeared in her eyes... Chu Zhu left the Temple of Heaven, burst out of the atmosphere, and headed straight for the moon.

Yellow-skinned mouse: "...?"

"!!! Could it be..."

at the same time.

Everything went exactly as Chu Zhu had predicted...

On Mars, although problems have arisen, it will still take a considerable amount of time for the black fog to quickly spread to the vicinity of Earth.

Upon re-entering the old industrial area of ​​Guanghan Palace, Chu Zhu silently sensed the surroundings, a look of understanding and joy appearing in her eyes: "Just as I expected!"

Although he had previously devoured and absorbed numerous divine realms in the infinite worlds, the essence of that matter wasn't true absorption! Rather, it was symbolic absorption—

Otherwise, wouldn't the hundreds of thousands of cultivators contained in that endless world... and the countless souls in the modern world that were most likely also devoured by him but hidden in some corner, undetected by him... also be eaten in one bite?
And, just as he initially guessed, the real world still retains the interface connecting these divine realms... and it happens to be the moon—he can still enter the modern divine realm through the moon!

"A divine position, and simultaneously reaching the entrance to the moon! Two conditions... Good brother, you really are something!" With a thought, Chu Zhu opened up the earth.

Looking at that familiar door, Chu Zhu smiled silently and stepped inside without hesitation.

……

A moment of trance.

Chu Zhu looked around at the familiar office, her eyes slightly lowered, feeling as if she were in another world.

“However, now is not the time for lamenting the past and reminiscing about the past!” Chu Zhu’s expression suddenly hardened, and countless pieces of information about this world flooded into his mind at this moment.

"...Su Mobai is not here in the China Resources Building! No, she's not even in this world...that's only natural!"

Given her special status as God's sister, she's most likely now imprisoned on Mars alongside the Almighty.

"Lin Xia, Zhao Shao, Huo Qisi... they're all gone!"

"Huh? Those members of the Golden Dawn... they're still around? So, did our good brother entrust this modern divine realm to them for safekeeping...?"

"interesting!"

Although he couldn't sense this realm before, once he entered, it was a different story... He naturally obtained the power of the "Heavenly Dao" of this realm.

Chu Zhu snapped his fingers, and the void suddenly distorted. Then, one figure after another appeared in front of him.

"...Who is it?" Kevin suddenly gripped his longsword, his face wary. When he saw Chu Zhu, his breath hitched, and his eyes showed a mixture of surprise, shock, doubt, and concern.

In contrast to his complex emotions, James, Howard, and others knelt down on one knee without hesitation.

"Great Lord... You have finally turned your gaze upon the earth once more!"

"I offer you my loyalty, Lord!"

"Your Majesty, is there anything you need us to do?"

The same fervor as always!
Chu Zhu surveyed them, her heart churning. All the members of the Golden Dawn… were at the peak of the eighth realm—no, it should be said, they had all embarked on a path similar to that of the saints and great gods in the world of Journey to the West—

He was striving towards the ninth realm! But he did not reach the ninth realm.

After a long silence, Chu Zhu turned her gaze back to Kevin. Kevin should, of course, be like the other Golden Dawn members… but this was a matter of perspective!

True strength...

“…How terrifying!” Chu Zhu murmured, judging from the information fed back by the Heavenly Dao…God-level. Definitely God-level! Perhaps not considered powerful among gods, but this still achieved the ultimate goal of being able to rival a god with a non-god's body.

Chu Zhu was not surprised. Ultimately, whether it was the ancient sages in the Journey to the West world or these members of the Golden Dawn—they were able to embark on this path, which had no source of Dao, yet was gradually moving towards possessing divine combat power, because Kevin had opened up this path…

"So, your next goal is... to train the remaining members of the Golden Dawn into beings similar to Kevin?" Chu Zhu asked softly. Kevin was stunned. Was she talking to him? Before he could sort out his thoughts, he heard Chu Zhu utter those two words, "Skynet!"

"?" Kevin's lips twitched.

After a brief silence, accompanied by a sigh, the being with a star-like body appeared behind Chu Zhu.

He gazed at Chu Zhu with a complex expression, hesitated for several breaths, and finally bowed respectfully: "...Just as you said!"

After a brief pause, He continued, "Great Lord!"
