My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 528 The Future of Tremendous Change! Nest City, Ascension to Godhood, Sea of ​​Memories, and the Reasons for Tremendous Change!

Ultimately, these so-called 100,000 people were merely the survivors... countless cultivation geniuses perished! They died young!

Moreover.

Chu Zhu sighed inwardly. He didn't actually believe that every one of these cultivators, prematurely placed in the City of Miracles, would grow to their future peak.

At the moment Chu Zhu altered their fate, they might die or lose control at some point in the future...

The repeated resets taught Chu Zhu a profound lesson: only change is eternal!

Stopping her thoughts, Chu Zhu summarized, "Then I'll trouble you to make the necessary preparations! If these helmets need to be transported... you can also leave them to me."

Otherwise, just transporting one billion helmets to the mainland would probably take several days!
“Yes.” Z smiled brightly when he saw that his suggestion had been adopted.

Chu Zhu silently sighed to herself, "As an artificial intelligence, and one that has grown and experienced a lot... Z's humanity is indeed unimaginably abundant."

The crowd fell silent, their voices fading as they looked at Chu Zhu or exchanged glances. They clearly understood the immense impact Chu Zhu would have on the world if he were to actually implement this...

Some were joyful, while others were worried and apprehensive... But in the end, they said nothing! As members of the Time Club, they all knew in their hearts what the real safety net was—it was the possibility and miracle of starting over countless times, centered around Chu Zhu!

After chatting for a few more minutes, Chu Zhu had a sudden thought and went to her room in the City of Miracles. Only one sentence remained, lingering in the air…

"Tomorrow morning... I will give you a definite answer!"

“Yes.” Z took a deep breath.

inside the room.

Chu Zhu slowly closed her eyes: "...I hope everything goes well!"

Chu Zhu felt no joy at this moment; instead, he felt a slight unease. Even with all the advantages given to the current civilization! Even with its current strength so formidable… or rather, these very advantages only made Chu Zhu more uneasy—

Chu Zhu learned a lesson from the past: early failures may actually ensure the stable continuation of a civilization!

Excessive success could lay the foundation for future disasters or even destruction, potentially wiping out the very foundations of civilization and causing even post-civilization periods to vanish.

All I can say is that this world is just that strange, bizarre, and full of unexpected twists and turns.

……

He opened his eyes again.

Chu Zhu scanned his surroundings, and as he expected, it was still the Infinite Divine Realm. Moreover, this time, the number of Divine Realms even exceeded that of the last time—last time there were only a little over ten thousand, barely enough to be called the myriad realms! But now, there were at least one hundred thousand realms.

"At this rate, does that mean the next time I come to this world, I'll be faced with two hundred thousand worlds?" Chu Zhu muttered to himself as he opened his arms and watched the infinite worlds collapse toward him.

This is the moment of ascension to godhood.

……

"Back again? But... this time at the Imperial Ancestral Temple seems a bit..." Chu Zhu frowned. He was currently in a strange and vast world. Yes, this was practically another world altogether, with stars dotting the sky!

However, Chu Zhu knew very well that this was the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

“The time ratio is wrong!” Chu Zhu flicked his finger without any emotional fluctuation, which was exactly what he expected.

The Imperial Ancestral Temple must have been transformed into something akin to a city of miracles!

Chu Zhu slowly stepped out and instantly left the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and then...

He was stunned.

This was a scene beyond his imagination.

Above, the sky was pitch black. For a fleeting moment, Chu Zhu even wondered if the black fog on Mars had erupted prematurely and was now engulfing Earth.
But he quickly realized what was happening, and his face turned extremely pale: "It's...it's environmental pollution???"

It's not pollution from cultivation, but environmental pollution! Chu Zhu could sense that there was still warm sunlight outside the atmosphere... Although there was pollution outside the atmosphere and inside the Earth, and the pollution was far greater than he had sensed before, it was definitely not at the level of a pollution outbreak on Mars... The current situation was actually inside the atmosphere, where the concentration of a certain gas was unimaginably high.

Chu Zhu instantly soared into the sky, activating all his divine powers, including divine sense, divine awareness, and amplification.

Countless pieces of information flooded his mind at that moment. A tidal wave surged within him.

“? This…” Chu Zhu looked down at the “brand new city” beneath her feet.

How many people? One hundred million? One billion? Or even more?!
The capital city no longer exists... Perhaps it is still called the capital city, but it is only the name that is the same as the city in Chu Zhu's memory.

This is a colossal, unimaginably vast, heaven-reaching city.

It sits on the original site of the capital, layer upon layer, soaring straight into the sky. Reaching a height of five thousand meters!

"...It's just like the hives in Warhammer?"

Moreover… there are a total of forty-nine nest cities across East Asia! These nest cities are all located in the former sites of Nuwa's base. All the population is concentrated in these nest cities! In the wilderness, only various races and monsters roam freely.

"It's normal." Chu Zhu quickly calmed down. He had already realized that the pollution level of this world line was far higher than before. Pollution is the essence of the extraordinary, so it is reasonable for the number of extraordinary creatures to increase so much! Under this concentration, ordinary people naturally cannot survive in the wild.

Gathering everyone in the city... is normal if it solves problems like food shortages...

The quantum computer continuously integrated the data from the divine sense scan. Finally, Chu Zhu let out a breath and finished the statistics: "This kind of thing..."

The capital city where I am located alone has a population of 1.98 billion! If you include the 49 other capital cities in East Asia, the population is close to 100 billion...

If we include the entire world! Perhaps… “...hundreds of billions of people?”

Chu Zhu's emotions were extremely complex. He "saw" the lower-class inhabitants of the city, silently "working," emaciated and nearing the end of their lives. Of course, they weren't actually working; they were simply collecting garbage thrown down from the upper and middle levels of the city... extracting the necessities for survival from it!
Every moment, people fight to the death over trash, screaming madly. Every moment, these madmen lose control, turning into monsters... only to be instantly killed by suddenly appearing stealth drones, precisely turning them into resources for cultivation.

In the middle levels of the city, countless people were huddled in rooms resembling pigeon coops. No! Perhaps they were the pigeons themselves… Chu Zhu sensed that these rooms only had a connection to the virtual world; the doors were completely sealed! The only way to communicate with the outside world was by acquiring physical goods.

Meanwhile, many of these middle-class, captive citizens occasionally lose control and are killed on the spot.

The upper levels even expended enormous amounts of energy to create numerous completely enclosed floors simulating the natural environment of a pre-civilization era. This upper level, with a total population of only ten million… consumes ninety-five percent of the entire hive city's resources. It even occupies over eighty percent of the hive city's area!

Simply put, the upper class squanders money, the middle class lives on welfare, and the lower class is left to die! As for production... it relies entirely on full automation!
The chance of the upper levels going out of control is very low; in fact, Chu Zhu wouldn't have noticed it at first glance... But the chance of the middle and lower levels going out of control is frighteningly high...

Chu Zhu saw the highest level of Chaodu, the level where the Imperial Ancestral Temple was located, which still maintained the general layout of the imperial capital city he had experienced.

Compared to the upper levels, where the natural environments of pre-civilizations were forcibly simulated at enormous energy costs... this place is exposed to the harshness of space!
Everyone walking on the street was wearing aquarium masks resembling those of the Celestial Dragons. Of course, this didn't mean they lived in poverty—Chu Zhu could see that these people could freely enter the upper levels, an environment simulated by massive amounts of energy, resembling a pre-civilization, if they wanted to!

"...tmd."

A thousand words were condensed into three letters. A heavy gloom settled in Chu Zhu's eyes. What exactly had happened to this world this time?!

Has it really turned into a complete cesspool? Even though he had been mentally prepared before he arrived... he could accept it even if everyone was dead!

This bird looks...

"Z, are Nuwa and the others all dead?!" A murderous glint flashed in Chu Zhu's eyes; he felt like he was being possessed by the Great Western King. And he thought this was absurd! After all, theoretically, he had already carried out a massacre once before, and according to past practice, he should have continued his positive reforms, but now it was still the same…

"No, don't tell me that this situation is already what it looks like after I've influenced it!"

Chu Zhu suddenly realized something, his expression shifting several times. If he had ever influenced anything, it would all look like this cesspool. What exactly had he influenced? Or perhaps… Chu Zhu couldn't bear to imagine what things would be like before he had influenced anything…

Taking a deep breath, he entered the Imperial Ancestral Temple again without hesitation.

“Z, or Nuwa, Hive One… whoever it is! Artificial intelligence and its byproducts, come see me.”

However, there was no sound.

After a brief silence, Chu Zhu sensed that the upper levels of the Nest City… no, it could even be said that the middle levels were in chaos. And this chaos was spreading at an alarming rate…

"Are all artificial intelligence systems having problems? But now even something like Hive is having problems... This is too strange!" Chu Zhu's eyes flickered as she made a decision.

The top level of the Imperial Capital.

Eastern Sect Headquarters.

"...What's going on?" Jia Yanyu's face was filled with surprise and uncertainty. She touched her beautiful earrings, which were naturally the "devices" used to connect to the Infinite Divine Realm. She frowned and paced back and forth in place.

She had previously accepted the highest-level mission from the main god and was currently exploring the mythological version of the Three Kingdoms world.

It's important to know that the Mythical Three Kingdoms is one of the highest-level worlds in all the heavens and myriad realms! Its high-ranking beings even boast forbidden beings with combat power comparable to gods!
But she had just successfully infiltrated the Yellow Turban Rebellion with several allies, planning to seize power after Zhang Jiao's death. And then... she was kicked out??

"This has never happened before... Damn it!"

“I see.” A voice, tinged with understanding, rang out. “Everyone at the top is a ‘Reincarnator’! Everyone in the middle is a ‘Fourth Calamity’ from the virtual world… And at the very bottom, there are none? Strange…”

Jia Yanyu's body stiffened slightly, then she turned around abruptly, her eyes filled with surprise: "Your Majesty! You..."

Her voice gradually lowered and became stammering.

Chu Zhu immediately recognized that Jia Yanyu was a demigod, and one who had embarked on Kevin's path to godhood... Although she was still quite far from possessing the combat power of a god, she was far stronger than in the previous timeline.

In this situation, she could naturally sense the divine aura emanating from Chu Zhu—she could even sense two kinds!
"Tell me, what exactly happened in Nest City..."

"?" A hint of doubt appeared in Jia's eyes. She didn't understand why the other party would ask such an obvious question, but before she could speak...

"So that's how it is! The fourth calamity in the middle level, as long as you become a reincarnator... you are qualified to ascend to the upper level! Become a 'superhuman'... Hehe, no wonder, so that's why I sensed that the upper level was full of superhumans before!" A cold understanding appeared in Chu Zhu's eyes.

So it turns out that the policies he once formulated... have mutated into this form over time?

Yes! A shadow fell over Chu Zhu's heart. He should have realized this long ago... After he added the factors of time and the extraordinary! The speed at which individuals of different ranks could widen the gap... would also increase to an unimaginable level!

Even a pig, if it could enjoy the ratio of one normal day to twelve years, would probably... be promoted quickly, right?
In the end, the gap between reincarnated beings and ordinary people will naturally become ridiculously large! It might even surpass the difference between two species... like the difference between a normal human and a single-celled organism...

"???" Jia Yanyu stared blankly, she hadn't even answered yet... then she realized that it was Chu Zhu who had somehow read her thoughts. This kind of thing... this was too much...

"It's not that I'm reading it! It's that... it's too easy to understand!" Chu Zhu stopped speaking.

The good brother, as a god of memory, even forged a sea of ​​memories encompassing all the memories of humankind...

After Chu Zhu ascended to godhood, perhaps because the Sea of ​​Memories was too vast and complex, he found it difficult to precisely retrieve the memories he desired! However, for ordinary people... their "memories" were theoretically transparent to him! Although Chu Zhu still needed to retrieve these memories...

Searching for a demigod who has embarked on the path to godhood is quite troublesome! Mainly because the other party will inevitably sense it.

However, even demigods who have embarked on the path to godhood are naturally transparent about what they are thinking... based on this principle... and Chu Zhu doesn't need to search for it; he can know it directly—that's why Chu Zhu is in this state now.

Chu Zhu murmured, as if talking to herself, or as if asking someone.

"But I still don't understand... Given my personality, I couldn't possibly allow this gap to widen so recklessly after discovering this problem... It doesn't make sense! Why is the lowest level so miserable? Given my personality... um?"
