My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 530 Artificial Planets Scattered Throughout the Solar System! The Heavenly Court Invades Outer Universe!
The hall was deathly silent.

With a deafening roar, everyone knelt on one knee and bowed their heads toward the awakened emperor.

"Hmm?" Chu Zhu turned his head and glanced at the crowd, raising an eyebrow slightly. He noticed that the emotions surfacing on everyone's faces were not purely joy. There was also a mixture of bewilderment, fear, trepidation, and confusion... However, the largest element was piety and fervor.

“Interesting!” Chu Zhu looked at the awakened emperor again, his eyes flickering. Because the person in front of him was a god like him, he could not access the other’s memories or read the other’s thoughts at this moment: “I don’t know who you are waiting for! But if there are no surprises, it is most likely me.”

Chu Zhu didn't mention death. Ultimately, the emperor and the others might be that God, or something like Z. At the same time, a realization dawned on him: these beings around him were, in fact, complete strangers to the person before him—

If they were very familiar with him, they should have an image of Su Zheng in their minds... When Chu Zhu read it aloud beforehand, Chu Zhu was able to confirm the identity of the person in front of him in advance.

"...Is that so!" Emperor Taizu remained silent for a moment. As time passed, the fragmented memories in his mind became more and more complete: "But no matter what, I feel that I am quite familiar with you!"

Chu Zhu barely managed to keep a straight face. Of course, this guy, barring any unforeseen circumstances, has half of his genes...

"Hmm," Emperor Taizu forced a smile, though it was quite terrifying to see such a smile on his still-unrestored half-skeletal face: "Do you want to inherit my throne?"

"???" You mean the reversed Heavenly Gang?

"...I'll sit on this toilet for you?" Chu Zhu shook off the jumbled thoughts in his mind, rolled his eyes, and almost laughed out of anger. Even putting aside the issue of identity...who would he find to be a scapegoat here? Even though he hadn't figured out what this thing was all about, the very déjà vu scene in front of him was enough to put him on alert.

"Do you know where the Heavenly Emperor, Z, Nuwa, Lin Xinzhu, Lin Xia, Puguo... went?" Chu Zhu blurted out a string of names, getting straight to the point.

"...How could you! Wait, could you be...?" More memories flooded Su Taizu's mind, and he finally realized what the familiar aura he felt from the being before him was all about. He exclaimed, "...The Supreme God?"

"???"

"!!!"

"..."

The group of people, who had been bowing their heads respectfully, suddenly looked up. Their faces showed either shock or horror... because in this era, only the ruler of the Infinite Divine Realm could be given those two titles!
That large sphere of light recognized by all reincarnators—but the crucial question is, isn't that thing devoid of any emotion? It even makes one suspect it's an AI! And a low-intelligence one at that.

This is terrible... Is he alive now?!
"...If he really is..." Jia Yanyu felt her heart was about to jump out of her throat. It seemed that she could understand why the Main God Space had an accident at this time and she couldn't enter it... Wait a minute, will she be able to enter it in the future?

So, the main god they saw before... was actually a projection of a sleeping god? Holy crap... it really was a god! No wonder that AI was so terrible, criticized for so long, and they haven't come up with a new one... it wasn't AI after all!

"If you keep spouting this nonsense, then I'll go find the answer in the universe!" Chu Zhu said coldly.

Su Taizu gritted his teeth and forced a smile, saying, "Alright... According to my remaining memories, they should have all gone to... outer universe, right? Perhaps! The fragmented images in my memory are like this... But another fragmented memory tells me that someone seems to have returned... But I'm not sure if this is just my imagination!"

"???" Chu Zhu was stunned. After sorting through his thoughts for a while, he gasped in shock after realizing what the other person was talking about: "They...they fought their way out???"

And... there are people who seem to have come back?
Is this really that outrageous? Before falling asleep, Chu Zhu had indeed considered countless possibilities, but she had never been this bold!

"Yes...and, as for when they set off! It should have been more than a thousand years ago...I think so?" Su Taizu's voice was somewhat uncertain. His memory had been greatly eroded, and he knew in his heart that his understanding was seriously flawed, but he could not determine exactly where the error lay.

"???" Chu Zhu looked deeply at the being before him, pondered repeatedly, and cautiously asked, "I want to ask, how many years have you lived this time?"

What do you mean by "this time"? Although Su Taizu was puzzled, he was worried that the person in front of him would turn around and leave, so he forced himself to be serious and honestly asked, "One thousand to two thousand years old? Possibly?"

"Not three hundred! So he was born prematurely," Chu Zhu muttered to herself.

Emperor Taizu hesitated for a moment, then barely managed to lift his knuckles and tap the throne, unleashing a terrifying surge of divine energy. The figures of the others vanished instantly, tossed outside the hall.

Chu Zhu raised her eyebrows and stared at Emperor Taizu Su in front of her with great interest.

“I’ve thought of something more!” Emperor Taizu said softly, “I…I think I should be the emperor of the Second Empire…or the Third Empire? Most likely, the emperor of the Second Empire of Humanity…”

Su Taizu's voice was somewhat uncertain, and Chu Zhu felt that this was really difficult to understand; to get an answer, she would have to half listen and half guess.

"My mother might actually be the emperor of the First Empire... right?"

“I can’t remember…” Su Taizu’s voice was filled with bitterness and sorrow, but he quickly suppressed his emotions: “The remaining impressions in my mind tell me that my many brothers were ambitious… However, the fragmented memories also tell me that they did not establish a second empire… So I should be the second!”

"???" Chu Zhu hesitated, then stopped. Many brothers? So that means there's more than one King Wen of Chu? And there are also experts?

and many more!

"...Don't tell me those guys outside are all your sons?" Chu Zhu belatedly realized. Emperor Taizong should be beyond doubt... although in the current timeline, he shouldn't be Emperor Taizong anymore!

The abbot of the Great Thunder Temple, who was on par with Emperor Taizong...emmm, Chu Zhu also had the impression that his surname was Su...so.

"...Yes!" Su Zheng said calmly and coldly, "They are the children I created by using genetic technology to cut the fragments of my divine position! Compared to ordinary people, they have a higher chance of becoming beings comparable to gods through the path to godhood!"

"I understand." Chu Zhu nodded, her eyes sparkling. Did she realize that this method was the result of taking another step, perhaps even several steps, on the path to godhood over the years?
Chu Zhu even suspected that the reason there were so many more children this time... might be because God used a similar method to sever the fragments of his own divine position... Hmm, considering it from this angle! Perhaps the human empire in this timeline is stronger than ever before... which is why it has expanded outwards!
The emperor added, "However, in the public's perception... the emperor of the human empire should never have changed from beginning to end!"

"I understand." Chu Zhu's eyes flickered. This explained why he couldn't access those existing memories before. Because in the public's perception, God is still the one! And the perception of God is inherently ambiguous.

"Mother... God said... we need to solve the real problem! Speaking of which... what is the real problem?" Su Taizu looked at Chu Zhu. "? You're asking me?" It took Chu Zhu a while to realize that the other person wasn't talking to themselves, but asking a question. He saw the other person nod, and after a moment of existential doubt, he almost laughed in anger: "Useless!"

Emperor Taizu was not angry, but sighed and said, "...These words are truly unpleasant!"

The next moment.

Chu Zhu's figure blurred into afterimages, and his true form appeared in the distance. He looked at Su Taizu with a slightly strange expression: "...Are you serious? You think you can defeat me now!"

"I don't know." Emperor Taizu was very honest. In fact, he hadn't even had a chance to make a move yet; he had only just come up with an idea. But now, the situation had turned out this way, and he had no intention of refuting or making excuses.

"But I'm sorry, if you really are the supreme god... then I can sense that the supreme god has lost contact with humanity!"

"The importance of the Supreme God to humanity... is too important! I cannot let humanity fall... so, so..."

He lowered his eyes and repeated himself, his voice tinged with a hint of guilt: "I'm sorry."

"...You beast...fuck your mother." Chu Zhu only managed to utter one word of his curse before realizing that if he actually cursed the other person, the attack would likely hit him instead. In the end, he could only conclude with: "What a filial son!"

Chu Zhu's figure suddenly vanished.

Emperor Taizu showed no disappointment, no anger, and no loss of composure. He was utterly exhausted as he quietly gazed at the spot where Chu Zhu had vanished.

Su Zheng was well aware that, given the strength the other side had displayed, he would most likely fail to capture them and might even offend them if he made a move.

However, He ultimately had no choice... The Supreme God was far too important! It could even be said that He was the true foundation of humanity's prosperity to this day.

As for why not first ask the other party if they are willing to rebuild the God Realm and see if they can cooperate and achieve a win-win situation... Heh, if they could, the God Realm wouldn't have collapsed like this!
"This is a terrible disaster!"

Her eyes closed again.

"I will issue an imperial decree—"

Emperor Taizu murmured softly. Even though he knew that even he couldn't capture the other party, and that issuing an order wouldn't work either, he was powerless...

Finally, a grand voice, accompanied by the will of the gods, spread continuously at this moment.

Throughout East Asia, in every city reaching the heavens, a sound resounded! And the sound continued to spread, reaching the entire planet, and even farther away…

……

at the same time.

Standing amidst the starry sky, Chu Zhu gazed at the drastically changed solar system and exclaimed with deep emotion, "This is utterly outrageous."

Jupiter no longer exists!
Or rather, this enormous planet was dismantled and transformed into one massive space base after another.

One after another, artificial planets, comparable in size to the moon, are densely packed along the habitable zone of the solar system, from Mars to Earth, constantly drifting—their raw material is clearly Jupiter! Or perhaps, fragments of other planets in the solar system—

Although Chu Zhu didn't understand why these artificial planets in the habitable zone, numbering in the thousands, hadn't created a butterfly effect, impacting the entire solar system and causing catastrophic damage to Earth, given their size and potential gravitational interference...

Moreover, this is just the number found within the habitable zone; it's far from the limit! In fact, there are many more artificial celestial bodies the size of the moon outside the habitable zone…

"But then again, this isn't the first time I've seen something even more outrageous..." Chu Zhu muttered to himself. The timeline where everyone was getting gene surgery involved living on all sorts of absurd planets! Compared to living on Jupiter and Venus, dismantling those planets, while absurd, was still understandable.

Chu Zhu slowly opened his eyes. His ability to see a thousand miles, a technique he had acquired from a past life, was activated at this moment. He saw that on these numerous artificial planets, there were also cities similar to Nest Capital.

So, how many people are there on this timeline?

Chu Zhu's eyelids twitched. He mentally estimated that Earth had a population of 300 billion. These thousands of artificial planets in the habitable zone, each with a nest city, would have a population in the trillions... and that was Chu Zhu's desperate attempt to reduce the number.

After all, a planet with a surface area the size of the moon, if calculated according to the density of East Asia on Earth... could probably support hundreds of billions of people without any problem... Based on this calculation, Chu Zhu didn't even dare to think about the actual population.

With a sigh, Chu Zhu arrived on the moon. Even the starry sky was filled with artificial celestial bodies, so the moon was no exception!

Dozens of nesting cities dot the lunar surface. Their total population rivals that of East Asia! However, the people here have numerous mechanical parts on their bodies, and there are even many who appear to be robots living among them… clearly following a different path from Earth!

and……

"...The filial son has ordered me to be arrested!" Chu Zhu's ears twitched as he heard the voice coming from inside the Nest City. It was the same voice he had just heard from Su Zheng! But compared to the slightly tired voice he had heard when they were talking, the filial son's voice was now grand and majestic, carrying an inexplicable authority.

This only proves that the moon... and even other man-made celestial bodies! are all loyal to Hao Da'er—even though Hao Da'er seemed to have fallen into a coma before.

Shaking his head, Chu Zhu cleared the clutter from his mind and found a familiar place—a certain spot in the lowest abandoned area of ​​a nest city—and finally, quickly entered it, and then accurately entered... the Modern Divine Realm.
