My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 516 God's True Name! Mars is the 'End of Ascension'! Farewell, Almighty Lord!

“Father, you did ask these questions!” Hive One nodded knowingly, then coughed slightly. “First, the reality of God… um?”

Chu Zhu frowned slightly, turned to look at the beehive, and found that her yellowish, mouse-like face now carried a look of bewilderment, confusion, and incomprehension.

"...You don't know?" Chu Zhu thought for a moment, then understood. Considering the special nature of God's true name, this was normal. As long as she obtained other answers, it would be a gain...

“No, I’m certain I know!” Hive One’s expression turned grim. “However, my current rank has fallen from ‘God’! So, I’m not qualified to know the relevant information now… Therefore, although the relevant data still exists in my database, I have no way to extract it!”

Chu Zhu's gaze froze for a moment, recalling her past when she wasn't qualified to know relevant information before reaching the seventh realm: "I see... I understand!"

Chu Zhu was not disappointed, because he realized that the Hive's subtext was that as long as she maintained her power, she could know the relevant information—so the next time she resets, he will just question the Hive, who is still the main god.

"Um, well, then I... this!" Beehive lowered her head. Not knowing that Chu Zhu could reset things, her embarrassment was indescribable. After thinking for a while, she finally forced a smile: "Father, is there anything you need... you should need me, right? You should... perhaps..."

The beehive's voice grew softer and softer until finally it fell silent completely.

Chu Zhu forcefully pulled at the head of the beehive. Suddenly, he sensed something, his gaze sharpened, and without hesitation, he took a step forward, instantly leaving the Imperial Ancestral Temple. He stood tall in the sky!
“…Interesting!” Chu Zhu murmured. He sensed a familiar aura on the distant other side of the Milky Way, dark and ominous.

After a moment's thought, he gently tapped the hive, teleporting it to the ground, and stepped out of the atmospheric protection zone without hesitation.

As Chu Zhu strolled through the vast starry sky, he sensed a terrifying black mist originating from Mars, spreading rapidly at almost the speed of light.

In the blink of an eye, they are so close.

Just like before, wisps of black mist tried to penetrate Chu Zhu's body.

"Are you underestimating me?" Chu Zhu's tone remained unchanged. He slowly opened his palm, revealing a vast world that cast illusory shadows around him before rapidly solidifying into a tangible form.

Chu Zhu has created a brand new world in the starry sky!

This world is entirely bubble-like, forcefully repelling all the black mist.

Vast and boundless, teeming with powerful beings!
Within this world, the ancient Three Pure Ones cast their gaze upon it at this moment.

Even the supreme God of Heaven noticed the anomaly and rose from his throne—

Chu Zhu remained calm and silently sensed the situation.

Journey to the West! More accurately, it is the divine realm of Journey to the West memories condensed from the memories of good brothers.

Because it is based on the memories of a close friend, the mythological system here is naturally based on the friend's understanding—so there are the Three Pure Ones, and even the Taoist Ancestor and the Jade Emperor—even though the original Journey to the West did not actually expand its worldview to such an outrageous degree.

"...Truly powerful." Chu Zhu exclaimed from the bottom of his heart. Although he had regained the power of the God of Memory, and the God of Memory seemed to still be at the ninth level of godhood... Chu Zhu could feel that this was completely different from merging a nation to conquer a god's position.

For example, right now, he casually summoned a realm of memories, one of the highest-level worlds among all the realms of memories—

Chu Zhu can pull everything within the Divine Realm out of the Divine Realm and unleash its power in reality!

The likes of the Three Pure Ones and Haotian... Chu Zhu couldn't accurately estimate their combat strength at the moment! He could only be certain that this group was inferior to him... but as for the rest! Perhaps only through testing could he know?

However, they are definitely not weak! Their level is definitely above that of a half-saint! Chu Zhu even vaguely sensed a bit of Kevin's style.

"Interesting. Perhaps it was something my good brother figured out based on Kevin's situation... Judging from this perspective, their combat power should be almost godlike?" Chu Zhu pondered. It wasn't that he thought these beings' strength was unworthy of their names... to put it bluntly, they weren't real figures from mythology! They were merely beings evolved from memories...

Clenching his fist, Chu Zhu sensed that things were alright inside the Divine Realm... but outside, the energy they needed to maintain their existence and fight was supplied by Chu Zhu himself... but that was still terrifying!
After all, the power of the God of Memory is limitless.

Chu Zhu isn't limited to summoning only one memory domain at a time; he can summon as many as he wants... In other words, he can summon dozens or even more of these entities... Of course, it depends on whether Chu Zhu's own energy can sustain it.

With a snap of his fingers, one after another, beings radiating the aura of saints appeared instantly beside him.

A brief silence.

These beings stared intently at Chu Zhu. One of them, a middle-aged man dressed in a Taoist robe, had a terrifying divine light flashing in his eyes, as if he were spying on something. However, the moment he touched Chu Zhu, he let out a muffled groan, and blood streamed from his eyes.

This left the others with varying feelings.

"……This is!"

"I can't understand... a demon from outer space? No... it doesn't seem like it!"

"Strange, why... does it seem to possess the status of the Heavenly Dao? But how can the Heavenly Dao possess such abundant humanity!"

Confusion, doubt, incomprehension... For them, the world is in their grasp; they are omniscient and all-powerful beings.

But now, an "exception" has emerged.

Chu Zhu calmly gazed at these giants, and gradually, his eyes flashed intensely as he glimpsed the essence of their souls.

"...Interesting! I never expected to run into an 'acquaintance' in this era!"

Yes, Chu Zhu glimpsed a familiar soul essence from the leading Dao Ancestor...

"...Li Quanyuan."

Chu Zhu murmured to himself, it was his former president of Jinling University…

After a brief moment of surprise, he understood that, ultimately, these beings used real souls to repeatedly simulate and strengthen their foundations in endless reincarnation, eventually transforming into a quasi-god-like existence similar to Kevin.

Therefore, their souls, when traced back to the real world, all appeared there—given the relationship between Principal Li and him, perhaps a close friend had confided in him, and coupled with his own merit, he was able to attain this position—

"...So it seems that the others might also be acquaintances of my good brothers? Although I don't know them..."

Chu Zhu's thoughts raced. Perhaps there were other familiar faces in the other realms of memories... However, he would have to meet these beings and carefully observe them to see through them.

"You now!" Chu Zhu looked at Dao Zu, his lips moved slightly, then he suddenly stopped, his gaze becoming deep.

"...This is...an invasion by demons from beyond the heavens?" The young man in the Taoist robe suddenly spoke, a hint of arrogance in his eyes. With a thought, four celestial swords appeared.

Chu Zhu: "..."

Which version of Lingbao Tianzun is this? If we follow the pattern of the prehistoric world, Investiture of the Gods, and Journey to the West as he understands it, then Lingbao Tianzun's four swords should not be with him now, right?
With a thousand thoughts racing through his mind, Chu Zhu forcibly suppressed the urge to complain and said calmly, "I, as the Heavenly Dao Venerable, hereby issue the order... You shall fight against the demons from beyond the heavens!"

As the words became law, Chu Zhu stirred up the surging energy within her body, and at this moment, the aura of the group surged once again.

For a moment, it seemed that their combat power was comparable to that of gods—although they had not actually condensed a divine position—they had simply “shared” that power from Chu Zhu.

“…Yes!” The middle-aged man lowered his head and spoke respectfully. Although he was arrogant, at this moment, he confirmed that the person in front of him was indeed the Heavenly One… He, who revered the ethics of Heaven, chose to carry out all orders without hesitation… When he raised his head again, his face became serious, and he took a step forward, heading towards the world's border.

"???"

"..."

"Ah this..."

The remaining few still had doubts, but considering the attitude of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, they did not dwell on the matter and quickly rushed to the outer perimeter.

The battle begins.

Under the constraints of the divine authority of Heaven, the black mist transformed from an intangible entity into tangible demons, celestial demons, and enemies from beyond the heavens.

The sages who were once invincible in this world now face their greatest enemy. Even their former immortality, which they had maintained within this world, is being eroded…

Chu Zhu simply observed calmly, analyzing the essence of his good brother's shaping of this world. Then, he gradually gained a deeper understanding of the world framework and the framework of the Infinite God Realm that his good brother had built. In the end, he sincerely admired him: "...As expected of me!"

So exquisite! So vast! So immense!

Of course, on the other hand, the sages were no match for the extraterrestrial enemy, and the black mist seeped in little by little.

In the end, in the world of Journey to the West, the underworld was empty, the heavenly court fell, and the human world wandered aimlessly.

Everything returns to nothingness, all turns into empty land.

Chu Zhu's expression was indifferent. If he wanted to, he could actually abandon this Journey to the West world and open another one, using these worlds as a shield. In that case, he could probably survive here for a few months without any problem! However, doing all this would be meaningless to him.

"Now that we're here... there's no need to be so secretive, is there?" Chu Zhu tilted his head. Even though his memory domain had been eroded, his Heavenly Dao divine authority hadn't completely dissipated. With a thought, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth transformed into decrees and shackles, perfectly harmonizing with the national and conquest divine authority within his body. Ultimately, that coercive binding force increased exponentially—

Finally, countless black mists coalesced into a slender figure.

All-knowing and all-powerful Lord!

"...I have some questions to ask, and I wonder if you could answer them?" Chu Zhu asked with a smile, but the only response he received was a light, breezy slap from the other side.

"What a pity, it seems we haven't reached an agreement!"

Chu Zhu's tone remained unchanged, devoid of anger or sigh. He also raised his palm, the power of the Divine Realm of Memories bolstering his body. However, this Divine Realm of Memories was ultimately corrupted, and the power it bestowed also contained corruption; wisps of black mist swirled around Chu Zhu's body.

"Boom!"

In an instant, Chu Zhu's arm exploded into a cloud of blood mist. He remained expressionless, his copying power instantly restoring him to full health, while the Omnipotent Lord staggered back several steps.

"……I see."

Chu Zhuming understood the power levels of both sides. Compared to being instantly killed last time, this time, by utilizing the power of the God of Memory and the home advantage of the Divine Realm, even though he was still weaker than his opponent, he now had the power to challenge him.

Yes, a single blow to the opponent would indeed shatter his arm, but what does that prove? It shows that the injury inflicted couldn't stop his regenerative abilities, which is why he could fight back…

only……

"For me, knowing this is enough! So..."

"Shatter!"

Chu Zhu whispered, "The memories that formed this world trembled continuously before shattering completely. Just like the countless worlds colliding in the Infinite Memory Divine Realm before..."

Everything is crumbling, everything is being obliterated—this is the collapse and self-destruction of memory and the world! We must drag everything along, to move forward together…

In the vast starry sky, the bubble of the world that was created out of thin air eventually returned to nothingness!

In the void, wisps of black mist continued to permeate and seep in...

……

Open your eyes again.

"Hive One..." Chu Zhu began hastily, reciting the password again. At the same time, he silently sensed something, and his heart sank—he had lost the power of the God of Memory! Was it really true? Yes...

Chu Zhu glanced at the Infinite Memory Divine Domain before him. The Memory Divine Domain was still there. If he still possessed that power within him, it would be equivalent to two "Infinite Memory Divine Domains" appearing at the same time... That would truly be a ghost! Even a godhood is subject to such restrictions, suppressed into the light of a godhood, let alone this Infinite Divine Domain, whose specifications clearly surpass those of a godhood!

"I'm here!" The large sphere of light materialized, trembling slightly as she realized something was wrong: "Why now..."

"These things are unimportant to me!" Chu Zhu felt the Infinite Memory Divine Domain tremble, his lips twitching. He realized that this void might collapse again. He fully understood that, most likely, the root cause of the void's collapse was sensing his breakthrough to the seventh realm...

Because he realized that he was now capable of bearing it, so... he automatically collapsed and merged into him?
As Chu Zhu vaguely grasped the truth, she quickly recounted all the questions she had asked before, and then...

“...Tell me the answer immediately...I'll repeat it again, ignore all other anomalies, none of them matter! Hmm...it's part of the plan.”

"..." A thousand words stuck in his throat. The giant sphere of light forcibly stabilized its radiance before saying in a low voice, "God's true name is Su Moxue! As for his true identity... you should already realize it, right?"

Chu Zhu's pupils contracted slightly. This name... was Su Mobai's sister! Even though he had suspected it before, he still felt a pang of sadness at the moment of confirmation.

"...As for Mars! There's just too much information on that, I don't know where to begin... Hmm! When talking about Mars, we have to talk about..."

The large sphere of light pondered briefly before summarizing: "To put it simply... the Heavenly Court and the Underworld of ancient China, Mount Olympus in European mythology, Asgard in Norse mythology, Heaven and Hell in Christian mythology... and a bunch of other miscellaneous mythological abodes... strictly speaking, they should all be located on Mars... Of course, the premise is that these mythological gods actually existed in ancient times, or at least have 'prototypes'! Purely fabricated ones don't exist..."

"!!!" Chu Zhu was dumbfounded; these words left his mind blank.

However, after struggling to process what was happening, Chu Zhu suddenly realized something and gasped: "Wait a minute... Could this be the key to the emergence of a whole host of mythical species after the Martian pollution outbreak... and the resulting mutation and pollution on Earth?"

Chu Zhu had always wondered about one thing: why would angels, demons, and other races that appeared in mythology exist...

He used to guess that it might be related to faith and human cognition? But now... he understands!
The source of the pollution is Mars... and our ancestors created a bunch of these strange and bizarre things on Mars...

It's possible that the information is tangled up! So...

"I can only say... this cause-and-effect relationship is too reasonable, too ordinary!" Chu Zhu sighed.

"So you understand now, it's not about what you're going to do on Mars... but rather, Mars itself is the 'final destination of ascension'!"
