My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 534 The Three Great Dao Sources! The Three Worlds! The Three Universes!

"...Is there someone?" Chu Zhu murmured, suspecting that this person was the Heavenly Emperor.

Su Zheng did not answer. His voice, trembling as if he were both crying and laughing, shook the entire hall: "That is the beginning and the end! It is creation and the end!"

“If you don’t want to answer, just say so! Don’t waste time like this… However, energy.” Chu Zhu chewed on the word repeatedly, his expression inscrutable. He had thought about it a lot before, and he even guessed whether this thing might be something left behind after Truth died—although he didn’t know enough about Truth yet! He wasn’t sure if such an existence could die.

But now... he's starting to doubt whether his deduction was correct!

The truth of energy...emmm...and...

Chu Zhu rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on: "If I remember correctly, the energy source for cultivation is essentially pollution!"

That does explain why he lost control after being hit by an attack.

The essence of the Dao Source is undoubtedly ridiculously high... Perhaps the complete Dao Source is truly related to the truth... Chu Zhu repeatedly examined the throne. In this situation, it's perfectly normal for someone who has just become a god to be unable to withstand a direct impact... It would be strange if he could withstand it.

But... there are still things that can't be explained...

The Earth's interior is clearly not polluted much, yet the pollution outside is unimaginably immense... So why is the source of energy, symbolizing the Dao, located on Earth? Isn't that bizarre? Moreover, if it has already been suppressed and sealed... why is there still such surging energy outside? In other words, what's the point of sealing it?
Furthermore, what exactly is the source and essence of the Tao? Or, in other words, what is its true connection to truth? Is it the foundation for attaining the Tao through truth? Or something else entirely?

Faced with Chu Zhu's question, Emperor Su remained silent for a long time before asking in return, "...Do you think I know?"

"Alright... next!" Chu Zhu wasn't too disappointed, or rather, he was already mentally prepared: "What I'm going to ask next is..."

"Why? You don't have any problems!"

Chu Zhu stared sharply at Su Zheng. He was absolutely certain that while Su Zheng's strength might be higher than his normal level, he was definitely no match for him when he unleashed his destructive power.

In terms of their respective levels of understanding, Chu Zhu felt that they were equals.

Furthermore, because of the constant resetting, Chu Zhu's body has remained in a state of purified pollution. Theoretically, he should be able to withstand far more pollution than Emperor Su... But why is Su Zheng clearly showing greater resilience now...?

"...Didn't you already guess?" Emperor Su replied, seemingly ignoring the question.

After a brief silence, Chu Zhu glanced at the throne again, her lips twitching slightly: "...Fine!"

"Then can I boldly deduce that," Chu Zhu narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Su Zheng in front of him, and said directly, "it is because of this thing that... the foundation for our journey to... outer universe was laid?"

It seems that the Throne of Energy has nothing to do with traveling to the outer universe... However, compared with the previous timelines, Chu Zhu still keenly realized that this throne is the key variable... Of course, the other key variable should be the God Realm of Time!

"And... aren't people from outer space said to lack emotions due to pollution...?" Chu Zhu remembered something and followed up with a question: "But I encountered people from the Shadow Civilization before! They seemed to have emotions."

"Finally, since this is over there in the Himalayas... do you know about the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum and the Egyptian pyramids?"

“…?” Su Zheng hesitated several times, wanting to speak but then stopped. You’re asking so many questions… He glanced at Chu Zhu’s hand that was pressing down on him. The surging energy was still being poured in continuously, and with the power of copying, it was causing his flesh and blood to continuously regenerate.

Although his flesh and blood still only make up about 30% to 40% of his body, he has already felt the feeling of being alive again after a long time—a rejection of pain! It is the anger and sorrow rising in his heart.

Yes, sitting in this position... he has to endure pain every moment! Because the energy is equivalent to infinite energy directly impacting and attacking his body... However, the throne keeps him from dying—

Even his mind had become numb, his emotions extinguished... But now, this feeling of rejection had actually resurfaced within him...

Emperor Su suppressed his boiling emotions. He had thought he had lost all feelings, but unexpectedly, with the recovery of his physical body, he was gradually regaining some. Although recovering in this state wasn't necessarily a good thing... well, let's just say...

"The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, the Egyptian pyramids?" Su Zheng recalled the two places Chu Zhu had asked about earlier, and a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes. Chu Zhu realized something, gave him an accurate coordinate, and even projected a map in the air to outline it, "This is the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor!"

Su Zheng then remembered something: "That place... I understand now!"

"Yes, what's pressed down there symbolizes the source of matter! It is itself a symbol of the material world. The material world is the universe we inhabit... As for its specific location, I think you understand!"

"..." Chu Zhu remained silent, seemingly indeed under God's control.

What followed was quite logical: after Chu Zhu sketched out the exact coordinates of the pyramids, the person opposite him readily replied, "The Egyptian pyramids you mentioned... symbolize the spirit."

"The Three Great Sources symbolize the true nature of the three worlds: the Material World, the Energy World, and the Spiritual World. Of course, they also have many other names... such as the Material Universe... the Antimatter Energy World... the Underworld, the Spirit World... and so on!"

"In our ancient myths, there are also many records about them! Or rather, variations of those records..."

Chu Zhu's heart was stirred. He was truly shocked. How could it be mental?

He originally thought that thing would be memory! Spirit... how could that be related to the truth of memory?

"And," Chu Zhu murmured to himself, "my memory supernatural power has been upgraded to a divine position... and that old dragon's consciousness and soul divine position... seem to be entirely related to the spiritual source!"

But if it really is all made up of fragments of that thing... could this thing be the so-called superior form of memory? Is it the ultimate destination of everything related to the human soul, or rather, mental factors...?

Chu Zhu started sweating profusely. He had previously thought this thing might be a crucial part of the truth of memory. But now, he felt… the concepts it encompassed might be far broader than the truth of memory itself!

"No way... This thing can't possibly be more powerful than the truth, can it?"

“Moreover, there are three of these things… Wait! God controls matter and has gone to the outer universe…” “…What is God’s current situation? Is He still alive?” Chu Zhu’s expression was extremely serious.

"...I cannot answer!" Emperor Su replied as always.

Pinching her brow, Chu Zhu pursed her lips, a thousand thoughts churning within her. Finally, with a slightly hoarse voice, she asked, "So... where exactly is the Source of the Spiritual Dao now? Is it still in the Egyptian pyramid region?"

Then, Chu Zhu noticed the rather strange look in Emperor Su's eyes.

"???" Chu Zhu was a little confused.

"...God, it's hell for you to ask this question!" Emperor Su's tone was complicated, seemingly with a bitter smile, anger, and helplessness.

"!!! A divine position... No way..." Chu Zhu's emotions fluctuated wildly. After all, the implications of the term "chief god" were far too obvious!

"To be precise, it's not your Memory Godhood! It's the Infinite Godhood... It seems," Emperor Su looked Chu Zhu up and down, "that you consider the Infinite Godhood to be part of your Memory Godhood? But to tell you the truth... the Memory Godhood isn't really that extraordinary! It can't be unlimited... Heh."

Emperor Su closed his eyes and did not continue speaking, but his meaning was clear.

Chu Zhu finally realized what was happening and murmured repeatedly, "...That's not surprising! That's not surprising."

Yes, Chu Zhu always felt that his situation was normal, but that was because his counterpart was the Heavenly Emperor! However, that Emperor was already the one who controlled the Dao Source—

At its simplest, from the original myriad realms to this hundred thousand realms... the most powerful realms among the hundred thousand realms can even give birth to NPCs with god-like combat power...

Indeed, the reason this bizarre situation arose is because Kevin forged a new path. However, if we disregard the experiences along the way and judge purely from an outsider's perspective, even with Kevin involved... this matter is still so outrageous that it defies description...

It's like stepping on your own two feet to ascend to heaven! An ordinary memory god position has forcibly evolved into hundreds or even more god NPCs—even if you summon them to fight, you have to bear the energy yourself—and judging from the current situation, it seems that more can be born in the future!

Besides...

"The qualitative change in the Divine Realm was due to Kevin's Path of Destruction... but the initial cause of that was God's manipulation of time! And later... it was based on this principle that I 'thought' of projecting the Divine Realm of Memories into the real world, and even interfering with the time scale of the real world!"

By what right can the spiritual source interfere with the material world?
That's because the initial seed was planted by the Heavenly God, who holds supreme power over the material world.

This matter is essentially an intertwining and collaboration of two sources: the spiritual and the material!
Chu Zhu's gaze was deep and unfathomable. He realized something terrifying: the truth of memory might truly crave the source of spiritual power. Therefore, his reset and time travel might not actually be the source of power... No, to be more precise, even if it were, it would be the most unique one! It seemed to be able to shield the perception of external truth.

If so, it means he carries two Dao Sources... If not, this is even more outrageous—because it proves that his dream travel and reset are more powerful than Dao Sources.

"Thank you! You've cleared up a lot of my confusion." Chu Zhu gazed sincerely at Emperor Su.

"Didn't you say you're my father?" Emperor Su rolled his eyes and said nonchalantly, "Why don't we just issue a decree right now, transferring the throne to you..."

"Wait a moment!" Chu Zhu paused, made a decision, leaned forward, and pressed her fingers to Emperor Su's forehead.

"What are you doing?" Emperor Su was not panicked. He wasn't worried about dying. In essence, sitting in this position was like constantly enduring the torture of an extreme instrument of torture. It was a bizarre state where one wanted to die but couldn't!
"Relax your mind, completely relax..." Chu Zhu said earnestly, although she was prepared to reset again if it still didn't work.

Then... Chu Zhu really began to gradually infiltrate and replicate.

"???"

Holy crap, that's impressive! Wait, something's not right... By the time Chu Zhu realized something was wrong, it was too late... His body began to convulse violently and uncontrollably.

It was a pain that was hard to describe in words. It was as if he had become a mortal and his endurance was only at the mortal level—every bone was crushed into powder, then forcibly restored by his powerful regenerative ability, and then crushed again... and so on!
"?" Emperor Su seemed to finally realize what the being in front of him was doing. His first reaction was bewilderment, his second was to forcefully shake off Chu Zhu's fingers, and his third was to frown, realizing that what he was doing seemed illogical... and then...

Before him, Chu Zhu didn't hesitate at all, pressing her hand to her forehead. Her aura rapidly diminished, finally dissipating into beams of light: "!??"

Wait, suicide? Does that make sense?! At this moment, Emperor Su even had the illusion that the Energy Throne had malfunctioned, that he had lost control, and was hallucinating…

Even while enduring pain, his expression remained perfectly composed, but at this moment it twisted drastically: Are you crazy?!
……

It's still the Infinite God Realm.

Chu Zhu's eyes were filled with a dazed and confused look, and his body convulsed uncontrollably. It wasn't until that vast world pressed down on his body, and his divine memories naturally coalesced, allowing him to ascend to godhood, that he was stimulated and came to his senses.

Taking a deep breath, Chu Zhu pressed her hand to her temples, sealing away her previous memories. Her expression gradually relaxed…

"...I fucking!"

Chu Zhu was stunned. He had realized that the memories he had replicated were of Emperor Su's experience sitting on the throne. Or rather, although he had prepared himself mentally... he still hadn't expected that ninety percent of Emperor Su's memories were filled with all sorts of torment, so much so that a simple copy-paste dealt Chu Zhu a devastating blow.

"Damn it!" Chu Zhu cursed as he appeared inside the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

With her eyes slightly lowered and having calmed herself down for a while, Chu Zhu gritted her teeth, her face dark, and reached out to gently pull in the air.

The next moment, a faintly visible divine throne and the withered bones on it appeared and collapsed in an instant.
