My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 266 Ancestors and Descendants! (First Update)
Chu Zhu closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and exhaled deeply, repeating this several times. After a while, she finally calmed down.

"Descendants! Descendants." Chu Zhu's feelings were somewhat complicated. It wasn't that he suddenly developed feelings for Su Zhizheng as if he were a son or a descendant. In fact, even knowing this, he didn't feel anything real about it.

Let alone offspring created through genetic engineering, even offspring born naturally would hardly develop any feelings after such a long period of time.

Not to mention……

Even if he wanted to acknowledge it, the Great Qian royal family would never do so...

Even with Nuwa as proof, the situation might be different from what we imagine—

"Nuwa really proved it and declared to the world that the most likely thing that Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty would do is to enshrine me on a high pedestal, give me no power, and simply use me as one of the sources of his legitimacy as the one who received the mandate of heaven..." Chu Zhu sighed.

In that situation, if Chu Zhu really wanted to get involved in power, he would probably show such intentions... and the emperor would then have to let him fall into the water.

It wasn't that Chu Zhu harbored ill intentions, but rather that his experiences in his dream world and the history books he read in the real world had revealed this cruel truth to him.

Politics is ruthless! Emperors like Han Wudi and Tang Xuanzong both have a history of killing their sons. Li Shimin, for the sake of power, would not hesitate to kill all his brothers and imprison his elderly father…

"Besides, even if Nuwa infiltrated me! And I used my ability to constantly reset... and actually won the power struggle! And actually sat on the throne under absolutely ideal circumstances... it wouldn't mean anything!"

Such an emperor could only be a sage ruler, ruling by doing nothing, his power ultimately usurped by his ministers! After all, even if he won, his foundation and authority would be far less than that of the current emperor…

"Not to mention, this is all under ideal conditions... assuming Nuwa intervenes and fully assists me! In reality... we don't even know what Nuwa's current situation is." Chu Zhu looked towards the north, her mind racing.

of course……

This does not mean that the name of this ancestor is meaningless!

Chu Zhu narrowed his eyes. If he were to actually launch a rebellion based on the union in the future, then revealing this identity at a crucial moment could effectively reduce the opponent's resistance and make them suspicious of him…

Just as if Zhu Yuanzhang were thrown into the late Ming Dynasty, even if he could prove his identity, Emperor Chongzhen would absolutely not have given up the throne to Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, if Zhu Yuanzhang had pulled off a move similar to Li Zicheng's, then even if he had only reached the gates of Yanjing (Beijing), and then revealed his identity, he could have gained the Ming Dynasty's approval—

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty's resistance would definitely not have been as extreme as its resistance against Li Zicheng! In fact, Emperor Chongzhen most likely wouldn't have hanged himself; he would have simply resigned himself to his fate and surrendered...

This is where the difference in psychological expectations comes into play! So-called blood ties and kinship are insignificant in the face of power... but they can influence key historical moments, leading to drastically different historical outcomes...

"But it's too early to think about that now!"

Rather than dwelling on that... Chu Zhu was more concerned with, or rather, puzzled by, something else.

"My previous life! My genes shouldn't have been stored in the cryopreservation system, right?"

Chu Zhu's mind was churning with thoughts as he silently stared at the Nuwa light screen before him.

From this perspective, the previous imperial family of the Great Qian Dynasty were theoretically not his descendants.

But... now...

"Moreover, even though their ancestors have changed, the Great Qian royal family still consists of these people... these names... these experiences!"

Chu Zhu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. Weird! Too weird.

"It's still the theory of time inertia! Or perhaps it's because I'm simultaneously present in the real world and in this era, that the upstream and downstream of history are, to some extent, anchored—"

"The history of this long period of time, during which neither I nor the real world existed, can be altered... Just like how the ancestors of the Great Qian royal family were changed this time... However, most of the events that occurred during the time periods we both live in will not change? People who are meant to appear will still appear... Things that I have encountered and that have already happened will most likely still happen! Anchored..."

Chu Zhu crossed his arms, his fingers lightly tapping his forearm. He felt this was most likely the final truth…

As she pondered, Chu Zhu suddenly realized a crucial point and asked with a hint of urgency, "Nuwa No. 17, what does 'Chu surname, Su clan' mean?!"

Nuwa No. 17's voice was as gentle as ever: "The surname Chu is one of the six ancient surnames! It gave rise to surnames such as Su, Lu, Cai, and Guan..."

"The previous dynasty, which is also the first known feudal dynasty, was the Great Chu Dynasty, and the royal family's surname was Chu..."

Chu Zhu stared blankly, and as she listened, concepts gradually began to form in her mind.

The surname Chu, in the current timeline, is somewhat similar to the surname Ji of the Yellow Emperor in the real world.

It is the origin of many other surnames...

From this perspective, it is highly likely that it was not simply good luck that his descendants happened to ascend the throne.

Rather, it's because he has too many descendants. Therefore, his chances of ascending to the throne are very high...

According to the information provided by Nuwa, his descendants might account for more than one-tenth of the entire population of the Great Qian Dynasty, which number in the hundreds of millions...

"From this perspective, this Great Chu is somewhat similar to the Zhou Dynasty in the real world!" Chu Zhu pursed her lips.

In the real world, during the Zhou Dynasty, the royal family was surnamed Ji and claimed to be descendants of the Yellow Emperor.

Of course, in the real world, later emperors also liked to do this... For example, the Qin state, which unified the Warring States period, once traced its lineage back to the past and proudly stated that its bloodline could be traced back to the Yellow Emperor—although it was actually the bloodline of the Yellow Emperor's daughter, not his paternal bloodline!
"However, the occurrence of this strange situation... is not surprising at all! Rather, it should be said to be somewhat inevitable... after all, there is the issue of genetic strength."

Chu Zhu narrowed his eyes. What's going on with that, bro? What was his status in the previous civilization? He was practically the ancestor of the extraordinary, the first Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court!

Although Chu Zhu agreed with the idea that "nobles and high-ranking officials are born with special privileges," she had to admit that, perhaps with the introduction of supernatural abilities, the descendants of top-tier supernatural beings would indeed possess certain unique characteristics...

Chu Zhu put herself in Lin Xinzhu's shoes. In the context of civilization's continuation, it's natural to preserve superior genes as much as possible, allowing them to propagate in the post-civilization era…

"From this perspective... okay!"

Chu Zhu refused to continue the analysis. He didn't want to listen anymore, feeling that if the analysis continued, it might trigger his psychological trauma...

Don't let it turn out to be a bunch of familiar faces, all descendants! After all, regarding the surnames that Nuwa described earlier... he felt that a few of them were quite familiar...

After a moment's thought, Chu Zhu continued, "Nuwa No. 17, display the written records that Lin Xinzhu left for me..."

The next moment, the light curtain shifted.

"Uncle Chu! It's like seeing you in person!"

"I'm not entirely sure of your strength! I'll just reveal some information that only a first-realm expert would know."

"First: Information about extraordinary individuals must not be revealed to ordinary people..."

"second:……"

Chu Zhu's gaze swept quickly across the text. Much of what Lin Xinzhu had written was what she had told him in the previous timeline—but that was normal, since Lin Xinzhu didn't know what she had said in the previous timeline... or even if Chu Zhu had left behind a few words, it wouldn't have mattered!

How did Lin Xinzhu know which information Chu Zhu knew and which she didn't? The safest approach, after all, was to tell her everything…

"However," Chu Zhu muttered to himself as he watched, "I have a feeling that my niece is much colder this time!"

It had a rather businesslike feel to it.

In a previous timeline, Chu Zhu had some doubts about whether Lin Xinzhu had a crush on him when they were young... But that's normal, since in that timeline, his best friend died before Lin Xinzhu was born.

then.

Article Fourteen: This is the method for manufacturing monitoring devices for superhumans...

"!!!" Chu Zhu was shocked. She straightened up, her attitude completely different from before. She seriously read through all the content, and then: "..."

"You think way too highly of me!"

Chu Zhu was momentarily at a loss for what expression to make. At the very least, one would need a powerful expert at the third level who had awakened the supernatural ability to forge tools, and enough special resources... only then could the crafting method described at this moment be successfully executed.

Moreover, this creation... can currently only monitor a small city! Monitoring the entire world... that would require at least... a powerful individual who has mastered the art of weapon forging and has reached an unimaginable level on the path of cultivation!
"However... although it's still a bit difficult at the moment, upon closer examination, it doesn't seem to be entirely without feasibility."

Chu Zhu stroked his chin, lost in thought. He was already at the second realm; breaking through to the next realm and replicating a related divine ability from the Mo Sect should be feasible…

"..."

Chu Zhu continued reading and quickly identified another useful piece of information...

"Article Twenty-One: This is the method for making the memory erasure device! This is a method we came up with after going through countless hardships to eliminate pollution! Of course, I'm just saying this! In reality, Uncle Chu, it would be quite difficult for you to make it..."

Chu Zhu silently watched the manufacturing process unfold; it was more than just somewhat difficult.

However, after reading it, Chu Zhu had a better understanding of the situation. It was highly likely that all the memory erasure devices in the dream world were actually one thing!
Yes, what Li Kang and his group possessed was merely an accessory to that unique instrument... strictly speaking, they were simply using the power of that instrument!
Even the power of previous civilizations, in their final stages, exhausted all their resources, and only managed to create one each in the East and West.

"...Bad news!"

Chu Zhu didn't know what expression to wear, and rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. He'd even planned to learn how to manufacture the equipment, and now look what happened!

But then again...

"The main ingredient of this thing... is a high-level cultivator who possesses the supernatural power of 'erasing memories'!"

Chu Zhu's expression was somewhat subtle.

He was pondering a very serious question: could his memory superpower possibly be used to develop this kind of ability in the future?

Based on his past experience, there shouldn't be any problem!
“From this perspective, noun supernatural powers should be the essence of many adjective supernatural powers…” Chu Zhu said thoughtfully, “In fact, noun supernatural powers can allow one’s supernatural abilities to evolve into the effects of many adjective supernatural powers!”

"Therefore, adjective-based supernatural powers are easy to develop and progress is relatively easy because their names are very clear... But noun-based supernatural powers have very broad names, which can easily confuse people! However, the problem is that once they are developed, they are too powerful... even equivalent to the sum of several powerful adjective-based supernatural powers!"

Chu Zhu finally figured it out—this was probably the truth behind why words, despite their powerful abilities, were difficult to develop!

The "Noun Mastery" skill is clearly a late-game class!
