My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 523 City of Miracles! City of Time! Capital of the Future World!

"Hmm," Chu Zhu responded, though he genuinely didn't care. After all, at the peak of the seventh realm, power resided within oneself; one could defeat the entire world single-handedly! Why would he panic?
Suddenly, Chu Zhu sensed something and glanced at Su Mobai with a subtle expression.

"?" Su Mobai's fingers subconsciously curled, a hint of nervousness in her heart. Although she had previously felt immense awe towards Chu Zhu when he summoned those terrifying beings to crush the enemies of Jinling, the power Chu Zhu was now displaying was even closer to the power of a creator—creation was far more respectable and revered than destruction: "What are you doing...?"

"It's nothing." Chu Zhu calmly snapped her fingers.

Su Mobai's phone rang, and she was stunned for the second time: "?"

Why did Chu Zhu's phone ring as soon as she snapped her fingers?
Chu Zhu naturally wouldn't tell her... Although, currently, due to his forceful control, the projected divine realm world's timeline wasn't decoupled from the outside world, theoretically, the two worlds weren't fully integrated yet, which would greatly affect the information exchange between them—

In other words, without him snapping his fingers, the satellite phone simply wouldn't have been able to get through!

Su Mobai glanced at her phone screen, her expression subtle. She cautiously looked at Chu Zhu and said, "...Yes, it's General Qian calling!"

"...My phone died, that's normal." Chu Zhu remained calm, after all, he had cultivated in the Three Star Cave for so long.

"Then I will!" Su Mobai swallowed hard. How much could she possibly say?

"Of course you'll tell me everything, right?" Chu Zhu glanced at Su Mobai, somewhat speechless. He was the one who managed to get this call through... How obvious was that?

"Okay, okay!" Su Mobai nodded hurriedly, answered the phone, and began to narrate in a trembling voice.

At this moment, Mr. Qian's initial reaction was: "?"

Then:"……"

Then: "?!!!"

In the end, all those words could be summed up in one: "...Huh?"

Old Qian wanted to ask, "Are you sober?" However, he quickly realized what was happening. After his expression changed several times, he didn't hang up the phone. Instead, he typed on the keyboard and sent a message to the internal intelligence personnel: "Immediately mobilize the surveillance situation in Lop Nur."

After all, too many unbelievable things have happened to Chu Zhu... Even if this matter is outrageous to a certain extent, when it involves Chu Zhu... Old Qian's first reaction is definitely not to deny it.

……

at the same time.

Chu Zhu ignored Su Mobai, who was constantly communicating on the phone, and looked at Guan Qianyu, who strode towards the biology area after receiving his permission.

“Chu Xian… Azhu!” Touching the glass, gazing at the mythical beasts and strange creatures inside for a long while, Guan Qianyu took a deep breath, suddenly turned around, her eyes burning: “What you said before was all true, which means… these creatures…”

“It’s true!” Chu Zhu nodded slightly, then added, “However, they don’t have self-awareness!”

Strictly speaking, these are all NPCs... but so what if they are NPCs?
The worlds he chose to project were extremely special! Compared to those projected purely from memories... these worlds contained more of the essence of the worlds he had experienced in the past...

What do you mean?
This means that if it were a mythological world... if Chu Zhu removed the power of her memories, her extraordinary power would dissipate. And if an ordinary person wanted to learn extraordinary power, even if they temporarily learned it with the help of the power of memories, the power would dissipate after the memories were removed... Ultimately, all of this is fake!
The only real supernatural power in this world... is a supernatural power system based on pollution—perhaps, the genetic system that Miss Guan created with her cheat codes can also be considered half of it?

However, all the technologies, biotechnologies, and so on that were learned in the reset world in the past are projected to be real!
The knowledge Chu Zhu gained from it can still be reproduced in reality even after his supernatural powers are removed... it still exists in reality.

The mechanical city districts and biological city districts that he projected and created here... are all like this!
"...Isn't this better?" Guan Qianyu became even more agitated, but quickly noticed the strange looks from the crowd. Her expression stiffened slightly, and she coughed lightly. "Actually, I'm not that kind of mad scientist. I'm just simple..."

"Hmm, no need to deny it! It's for you to do this research!" Chu Zhu said calmly. "On one hand, your research will allow Earth's biotechnology to advance rapidly... On the other hand, your own cultivation also needs to improve in these areas..."

Just like Chu Zhu's cultivation progress requires memorization.

Guan Qianyu's genetically related supernatural abilities... naturally have similar requirements.

"!!!"

“…Cultivation level improvement,” Puguo’s hand holding the prayer beads finally trembled slightly, “So, does that mean it’s really possible to become stronger through cultivation? Therefore…”

Puguo looked at the scene in the distance that resembled something out of a myth and realized something.

“Cultivation might not be what you imagine! And… don’t think it’s a big deal.” Chu Zhu rolled her eyes and pointed to the distant, floating mountain ranges in the sky: “Actually, if it weren’t for… this building, all the islands would be connected by normal staircases… even normal people could walk on them…”

"Well... to sum it up, if you guys could fly, I'd just throw the Heavenly Court into the ground... and bring it back to life!"

"...?"

"what……"

"What the hell?"

"???"

A lot of people almost thought they had misheard.

“Hmm!” Chu Zhu said, “And it’s the Heavenly Court from Journey to the West… Of course, we could also use the Heavenly Court from other mythologies? Like the one from Lotus Lantern… or… the Primordial Era? Black Mythology? Anything would be fine, right?”

“Xia,” Chu Zhu glanced at Lin Xia, whose jaw was practically dropping, and sighed helplessly, “I checked the data, didn’t you go to Journey to the West… and Z even gave you a cheat code, letting you take a stroll through the Heavenly Court in Journey to the West! What are you so surprised about…”

With Lin Xia's current strength, she is naturally not qualified to visit the Heavenly Court at will in the prototype world of the Journey to the West's divine realm... She can only rely on cheat codes.

"???"

Noticing the shocked and strange looks from those around her, Lin Xia's body trembled violently: "But I went to the virtual world... No! Wait! You mean..."

Lin Xia frowned, finally understanding the implication. His expression stiffened again, and a storm raged within him. He opened his mouth several times, but a thousand words stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word.

It wasn't just him. Zhao Shao and others who had also been to the virtual world... all fell silent.

"You've figured it out!" Chu Zhu raised an eyebrow: "In a way... you can consider them to be real..."

Chu Zhu opened her palm: "It's nothing serious."

Chu Zhu didn't mention anything to them about the difference between the virtual world and the Divine Realm of Memory... what was the point of explaining the essence of his abilities? After all, according to the common sense he gained in the dream world... the essence of supernatural powers needs to be concealed—although he trusted these people in front of him, trust and openness are two different things.

Chu Zhu's mind raced, and she even began to consider what kind of misleading she could do in the future—for example, misleading others that the essence of her supernatural powers was actually mythology? Or perhaps, misleading others that the essence of her supernatural powers was actually the creation of several worlds? Or maybe she could be a creator...

But seriously, can these really be considered supernatural powers? Can they?! Well… considering all aspects, saying that the essence of these abilities is the world itself seems the most plausible explanation!

"..." Lin Xia's face contorted in pain. Had he given up on acting altogether? He swallowed hard, finally stammering, "You old man...you're not really some ancient, powerful being reincarnated, are you?! This...this kind of thing is happening now..." "Theoretically, no!"

"...So what's the reality?"

Chu Zhu's face was inscrutable, but in reality, she was barely managing to keep a smile from coming out... Then she turned to look at Huo Qisi.

"What do you need me to do! Cultivate to become stronger? Or..." Huo Qisi stood up straight.

"I need you to take the lead in managing a brand new science district..."

Chu Zhu pointed to the city area in the distance.

"...What's going on over there?" Huo Qisi pursed his lips.

“Well,” Chu Zhu thought for a moment, “you can think of this city as Jinling in the 2090s.”

"...?"

"???"

"..."

a bolt from the blue.

They had spent a long time looking around and initially thought... it looked ordinary... well, not exactly ordinary, but at least it was a proper tech city district, the most ordinary district here—

But right now... this is the biggest one!

"The computers here are definitely usable!" Chu Zhu said confidently. "The scientific data inside, as well as various literary works... are all from the 1990s."

"Wait, Ah Zhu... you mean... that means I can see a lot of future novels and anime updates here?" Lin Xia was overjoyed.

other people:"……"

Birthplace! Such an awesome place, and this is all you can think of?

"To be honest, that's true." Chu Zhu thought for a moment and nodded in deep agreement.

Everyone: "..."

You actually managed to strike up a conversation with him about this?

Chu Zhu continued, "At the same time, this version of Jinling can almost be called... the world's space center! Mathematics center! Scientific research center, etc..."

Chu Zhu stopped speaking, silently complaining to herself, "This place is essentially the modern divine realm... after all, the modern divine realm can also continue to evolve."

The time limit of the modern divine realm is 2111, after which it will automatically reset... As for the starting time, it is the world where Chu Zhu was born—as for why it was projected to the 1990s, it is because after that, the city could no longer maintain its current stable state—the disaster eventually spread to this ancient city!
In the 1990s, Nanjing, with Chu Zhu present, was undoubtedly the center of all aspects before the disaster struck.

After all, the knowledge and technology that Chu Zhu brought back from the future were terrifying.

Of course, although he copied this city, the more sensitive technical data and data containing pollution information in this Nanjing were all deleted... After all, there is Z! There is no need to worry too much about this aspect.

“…I have another question.” Hozis silently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. “So, those cars really are anti-gravity cars?”

"Ok!"

"Based on what you said before, I can actually see these anti-gravity vehicles leave... I mean, leave Lop Nur... or even leave China?"

"can."

"...Also, what level of technology have these anti-gravity vehicles reached?"

"There shouldn't be any problems within the atmosphere," Chu Zhu replied after a moment's thought. Actually, going to space wouldn't be a major issue... but that only guarantees the vehicle can move in space; as for the people... well, the vehicle's standards aren't based on spacecraft standards!

"...So, so...so you're saying this is an aviation center! That means there's already a complete construction system here...we can start manufacturing right away...manufacturing..."

"Hmm! We can directly manufacture spaceships, and not even the initial version... The data here has been iterated to... Hmm, we can proceed with colonization within the solar system now, right?" Chu Zhu said calmly.

In theory, this city has all the technology for space colonization—and considering the adjacent mechanical industrial zone, manufacturing can be done entirely from scratch, provided there are raw materials!

A dead silence.

“…Oh, right.” Chu Zhu suddenly remembered something and casually added, “I forgot to mention, I will be implementing time anchoring for a certain period of time in the future!”

"……What's the meaning?"

"That means that from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., for twelve hours in the future, this place will be completely sealed off. Under this complete lockdown... time here will be disconnected from the outside world!"

"...Don't understand? Let me put it this way, twelve hours outside is equivalent to twelve years here! Get it now?"

Actually, the specific time anchoring is not like this... In fact, in a sense, the time ratio between different prototypes of divine realms and the outside world is different!
However, this chaotic time difference wasn't a problem during the Infinite God Realm era... but it's unacceptable to actually integrate it into reality and use it to drive development...

Therefore, Chu Zhu used a certain amount of power to forcibly anchor and control the time aspect—the problem wasn't too big; it just meant that the consumption of carrying these nascent divine realms into the real world increased by an extra forty percent... a minor issue!

Silence fell again.

Li Quanyuan's eyes widened as he stared intently at Chu Zhu. "What...what are you saying? Is that even human language? Let's speak Chinese..."

"You're not kidding... Okay, judging from your expression, I can tell you're not joking..." Lin Xia knew Chu Zhu too well, but at the moment of confirming the truth, he still felt a wave of dizziness. Ah, his brain felt like it was shaking!

"Wait!" Suddenly realizing something, Lin Xia froze for a moment, his face turning grim: "Such terrifying power, creating worlds, interfering with time, even creating life... You can definitely be called a god now, and..."

Even within mythology, it could be considered a top-tier creator god!

The crowd at the scene looked dazed. Yes... this kind of divine authority was simply...

“Even so, you still can’t…” Lin Xia swallowed hard, uttering the last words in a dry voice: “Defeat…defeat that…victory, I mean…”

“Yes.” Chu Zhu interrupted Lin Xia’s incoherent words: “You think I’m very strong. But that’s only because you know too little! In reality…”
