My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 537 Memory Master! Apostle of Truth!

“Madman, madman!” Ji Ying murmured. Even now, with Su Zheng’s memory system collapsed and no longer being output by the throne, the pain no longer flowed into his body, but he still inexplicably felt a phantom pain.

After taking several breaths, Ji Ying finally managed to calm herself down.

"But speaking of which, that guy from before... I always felt like something was off about him?" Ji Ying frowned slightly, and suddenly, he sensed something, and his pupils widened.

However, before Ji Ying could even retaliate, a flash of light appeared on his forehead, and Chu Zhu's figure suddenly appeared.

Memory jump!

Previously, the reason why the memory entity Su Zheng summoned Chu Zhu's appearance for the others to see was to leave the coordinates of Chu Zhu's jumps in their memories.

Moreover, if they were at their peak... perhaps they could have noticed something was wrong, but right now, their condition is just too, too bad...

"...Feel the pain." Chu Zhu instantly unsealed the painful memories in her mind, and then without hesitation copied and pasted this pain repeatedly, making the number of memories unimaginably large, and finally poured them into Ji Ying's mind.

"Hmph... Ahhhhh!" Ji Ying's expression turned ferocious, his pupils became dull, the massive amount of information directly caused his brain to crash, and the previous phantom pain was triggered and erupted at this moment.

His saliva flowed uncontrollably, as if he were demented and unable to respond to the outside world.

"...You! This power is...memory?" The remaining shadow took a few breaths, but seemed to have realized something. His thoughts raced, he suppressed his fear, made a quick decision, and formed a hand seal without hesitation.

"!!!" Chu Zhu was shocked. Without hesitation, she grabbed the Record of Shadows, which seemed to isolate her from all external senses, and rushed towards Kevin and the Almighty Lord—

The previous energy spread and riot had obviously affected them as well. However, they were far away and their strength was too great, so they were not defeated in one wave and are now gradually recovering.

As Chu Zhu fled, he forcibly copied the useful information from Ji Ying's mind. Although there was a lot of useless and messy information in Ji Ying's mind, it was all stuffed into it by Chu Zhu. Chu Zhu knew the "location" of these memories and knew which truly useful memories to copy.

The third second.

The exiled light, summoned by the last shadow, is about to catch up with Chu Zhu.

Less than four seconds later.

Chu Zhu had already passed Kevin and the Almighty Lord.

In the fourth second, Kevin reacted, ignoring the Almighty Lord attacking him, and tried to forcibly intercept the light of exiled memories, but the light swept past his body in an instant...

It's like the law of cause and effect! And it's like... Chu Zhu being struck is a truth recorded in the world's memory—

then……

Chu Zhu found herself once again in a densely packed starry sky.

"...Is it like this again?" He was not disappointed. He scanned the surrounding void again and let out a sigh.

In the next instant, Chu Zhu once again felt everything about him begin to sublimate... little by little, merging with the great truth of memory.

……

Chu Zhu triggered the reset again, returned to the Divine Realm, merged with the divine position, and entered the Imperial Ancestral Temple. He closed his eyes and sorted out the information copied from Ji Ying's mind.

"...Too little! And..." Chu Zhu seemed to be deep in thought, having only grasped some basic common sense.

For example, there is absolutely no information about the means by which he was banished to the vast universe...

Chu Zhu thought for a moment and realized that Ji Ying must have processed some of her memories: "That makes sense, after all, she is a follower of the truth of memory... right?"

Chu Zhu's body suddenly stiffened. He gleaned an important piece of information from the memories he had acquired, and his face turned ugly: "You bastard."

The Shadow Civilization is not, as Chu Zhu initially imagined, one of the extraterrestrial civilizations that attacked Earth three thousand years ago.

Essentially, this civilization is a strange being born from the shadows of dead Earthlings under conditions of extremely high pollution concentration.

Perhaps it's because these deceased Earthlings... all fought in his realm of memories, so they are imbued with the power of those memories.

The most powerful among them, Ji Ying, was chosen and blessed by an Apostle of Memory Truth, thus becoming a force belonging to Memory Truth!

In other words...

"...Equivalent to another kind of race! However, compared to the races born from corpses, this one was born from shadows...and because of me!" Chu Zhu's heart was filled with complex emotions. She finally understood why Ji Ying could show emotions, because all races inherently possess emotions...

Since its inception, the Shadow Civilization has been constantly guided by the Apostle of Truth, ultimately becoming Earth's gatekeeper to the outer universe! It's not that the Shadow Civilization doesn't want to enter Earth, but rather that no matter how hard they try, they cannot: "That's normal... currently, even God would find it extremely difficult to return!"

Chu Zhu shook his head, the more he pondered, the clearer things became. Perhaps it was because that Apostle of Truth was so eager for the secrets of Earth that he was willing to expend his energy on these beings related to Earthlings, ultimately sending them to this special desert world.

As for the fate of the first batch of enemies who contacted the Golden Dawn: "No record!" "On another note, this might not be a bad thing!" Chu Zhu pursed his lips. First, the information in Ji Ying's mind that there were traces of humans in the Milky Way meant that even the earliest humans sent out were not wiped out... This is normal, after all, good brothers know there are enemies outside, so sending people out is not just to let them die! There must have been some kind of protective measure in place.

Moreover, if even the methods set up remotely by his good brother cannot be cracked by the guys from the outer universe... then what about the forces of God who broke out more than a thousand years ago!
They are doomed to die.

And most likely it will be completely crushed, just like a pebble on the roadside!
"The only thing that's questionable is that, according to the timeline... Ji Ying should have encountered God! And his attitude when facing Su Zheng before also proves this point... But why didn't God kill them? Unfortunately, the memories are still too fragmented!" Chu Zhu sighed, his expression serious, and continued to act in the same way as the previous timeline.

In any case, as long as there is progress, that's enough for Chu Zhu.

This time, Chu Zhu fully learned from the previous experience and successfully wiped out nine shadows, capturing only Ji Ying and then copying the memories in his mind... However, those broken, twisted, and resurrected shadows still released the light of banishment at the first moment.

"!!!" Damn, this is outrageous.

Next time, Chu Zhu tentatively imprisoned several shadows and sealed them completely. He only needed to buy some time to extract enough information from their minds.

Then... there is no more!
To seal them away, the power of memories must be used. But once used, they will detect it and immediately unleash the Light of Exile…

Directly fell into an infinite loop.

"..." Chu Zhu indicated that he had completely given up, but it wasn't a big problem. Since that was the case, even if each memory copying only took a few seconds, with endless loops, he would eventually be able to completely extract all the information that could be found in Ji Ying's mind.

It went through seven more cycles.

It was still inside the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

"Finally! I've managed to dig out some useful information." Chu Zhu rubbed her temples, a hint of joy appearing in her eyes.

First and foremost, it is the truth!
So-called truth is a cosmic phenomenon beyond imagination, possessing individuality and almost impersonal. It appears to be the evolution of the essence of the universe—

Its formation characteristics are as follows: Under certain special circumstances and by unknowable chance, a certain intelligent being merges with a cosmic phenomenon and then condenses into a physical entity. The final entity that is formed, which is truth itself, will inherit the appearance of the intelligent being that merged with the cosmic phenomenon.

The reason they are called "almost impersonal" rather than "completely impersonal" is because they are actually influenced to some extent by the intelligent being they merge with—not just in appearance, but also in the nature of truth and the nature of the power controlled by the intelligent life. Of course, this doesn't mean the intelligent life has broken through to become that kind of being—it's more like they are simply a catalyst! There will be an influence, but not much.

At the same time, this influence causes them to act more out of instinct than emotion when facing acquaintances from their previous lives after their ascension... It's not that there are no truths after ascension, and that they show favoritism towards acquaintances from their previous lives, but this phenomenon is extremely rare... and this favoritism is also limited!

In the universe, there are also a very small number of forces or powerful beings that like to refer to the truth by the name of the being that merges with the truth of the universe!
"...Why does this sound so familiar?" Chu Zhu's eyes twitched as she tried to recall, her heart pounding. She inexplicably remembered the situation of Lin Xia and Su Zheng after they were contaminated in certain timelines...

"However, Truth seems to be even more extreme than them! Truth is almost without personality... but they simply lack emotions; their personality seems to still be retained, and they can communicate normally... um."

"That's normal... Could it be that the reason why emotionless beings exist in the outer universe, including the reason they enter this state after being contaminated... is because this is the truth! And it has affected them? That's interesting..."

Chu Zhu narrowed his eyes, continuing to probe for information, then his expression became increasingly interesting: "Let me see... Holy crap."

Chu Zhu felt a chill run down his spine, because in the memory of Ji Ying, the name of the truth of memory... was called Yu Qing Yuan Shi.

Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun? The Three Pure Ones in Earth's mythology... is that the true name of the Truth of Memory?!
in other words……

"This kind of thing," Chu Zhu forced himself to calm down, his mind a jumble of thoughts, but finally he vaguely made sense of it: "Since Earth has this name... and this kind of myth and legend... then there are currently two possibilities!"

One possibility is that this Truth of Memory was a very, very ancient Earthling… whose existence may even date back to the early stages after the birth of the universe. Later, for some special reason, it was ultimately sublimated into Truth, becoming a cosmic phenomenon that is almost impersonal.

Another possibility is...

“Early Earth was actually connected to the outside world… Then, this person who possessed the truth of memory was not from Earth! It’s just that information about him was transmitted to Earth and distorted into Earth’s original mythology… But there are some things that don’t make sense!”

Chu Zhu frowned more and more deeply. Information can be corrupted. If that's the case, then why is the belief in Yuanshi Tianzun still spreading so widely? And why hasn't Earth actually experienced any problems... or rather, is there some way to circumvent this?
"...It's getting more and more confusing! But then again, it seems that in the early days of Earth, cultivation was indeed almost unpolluted... Considering the bias! Could it be that the truth really existed on Earth, and that the truth showed a bias? That's why it's so special..." Chu Zhu felt more and more troubled as he thought about it. Suddenly, he recalled his own situation, his expression changed drastically, and he thought of an even more terrifying aspect.

"Wait, the spiritual source I control is what the truth of memory craves... There are still two sources left, and considering this... do they also correspond to the other two truths?"

Chu Zhu started sweating. Following this line of reasoning, the Three Pure Ones might actually be all truths... and the Three Pure Ones might all be Earthlings... the three great sources of the Dao might be related to them!
"So it seems that God, upon entering the outer universe... also merged with some truth! Hmm, I just don't know exactly which one..."

Chu Zhu silently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Unfortunately, whether it was because he hadn't yet unearthed it, or because it wasn't in Ji Ying's memories to begin with... in any case, Chu Zhu couldn't find any other True Name information. This prevented him from accurately locking onto suspicious targets!
"Then let's continue." Chu Zhu rallied her spirits and continued following the previous procedure.

This is yet another complete reset of life...

Chu Zhu, as always, gathered his divine position, met Su Zheng, pulled out his memory body, and headed to Mars. He still allowed Su Zheng's memory body to ambush him, seized the opportunity to capture Ji Ying... closely following the last time, digging into the memories in Su Zheng's mind.

"...Apostle of Truth, is that a rank above gods? Interesting."

"To become an Apostle of Truth, one must be a 'true god,' hmm... this true god should be someone like me who obtained a fragment of the Dao Source? But if we consider it that way, dragons, and Confucian sages, should also count..."

"At the same time, observing cosmic phenomena and cosmic truths that share the same attributes as oneself... glimpsing a corner of the essence of cosmic truth, and helping to expand a portion of the territory of cosmic truth, even if the contribution to promoting the progress of cosmic truth is the smallest, one can still receive feedback from cosmic truth! When this feedback reaches a certain level, one becomes an apostle... I see, this is the origin of the name Apostle of Truth!"
