My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 30 Imperial Ancestral Temple
"Even if I did it that way, the talents I know would at least be national-level geniuses. On average, they would be world-class, and there would even be some who would be remembered in history... Well, speaking of which, even if I knew their names, the world is so big, I'm afraid it would be very difficult for me to meet them in the real world, right?"

Chu Zhu tried to find humor in the situation, saying, "But then again, when you encounter something like this, it's a huge safety net!"

In the next instant, Nuwa No. 17 made the silver wall emit a red light.

"Li Kang has been detected approaching. Li Kang has been detected approaching. He is expected to enter the Third District Police Station in seven minutes and forty seconds!"

Chu Zhu remained calm and composed, speaking at an extremely fast pace, "Nuwa No. 17, erase all my inquiry records, erase my entry records... By the way, do you even have one? Never mind, if you do, erase it all! Open the portal, and close it immediately after I leave."

Chu Zhu rushed out of the women's restroom and went straight into Li Kang's office.

He wasn't reserved at all, after all, it wasn't his first time here, and he sat down in Li Kang's office chair in a very natural and unpretentious manner.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Zhu gently pushed the chair with his foot, causing the wheels to roll. He leaned back and put his feet directly on the desk, crossing his legs in a rather arrogant manner.

Sunlight streamed through the windows, bathing the entire office in a warm glow. Chu Zhu basked in the sun, squinting comfortably.

This--

This is the scene that Li Kang saw after he and his teammates returned to the office.

Li Kang: "..."

High blood pressure!
"Finally back?" Chu Zhu opened one eye, glanced at Li Kang, then closed it again, and said lazily, "Can you tell me what happened?"

Li Kang stared at Chu Zhu for a long while before saying, "In other words, a wild body cultivator did something that defied common sense! Someone saw it, and then... it was captured and displayed on my phone."

Chu Zhu felt a mix of emotions. Although he had heard Li Kang say something similar during the previous reset, he was still amazed by the absurdity of Nuwa No. 17's technology.

Wait a minute! Something seems off...

"I have a question!" Chu Zhu suddenly sat up straight, slammed his hands on the table, and stared intently. "Since you can find ordinary people who know about the existence of superhumans, then you should also be able to capture all the superhumans operating in Jinghai City, right?"

“It’s impossible,” Ning Linglong interjected. “I know that, logically speaking, searching for superhumans should be much easier than searching for ordinary people who know about the existence of superhuman abilities. But the key problem is…”

"The retrieval mechanism was... directly ordered from over there! Since God deliberately retrieved this type of information and informed us, there must be a reason behind it! And the reason God didn't search for extraordinary individuals within Jinghai City..."

Ning Linglong paused for a moment, then said softly, "I don't quite understand, but like I said, it's normal that we can't understand what God is thinking. We just need to solve the problems in the divine pronouncements He has given!"

Chu Zhu: "..."

It's not that it's incomprehensible. After all, in a theocratic society, no matter how confusing the will of the gods may be, it can only be carried out without question—but the problem is, Chu Zhu doesn't know what this so-called god is at all.

The sense of incongruity is off the charts!

"But then again, Nuwa is indeed a deity in real-world mythology! In that sense, it's quite a coincidence," Chu Zhu thought to himself.

"Alright, come with us! Next, we'll register your identity." Hearing Li Kang's words, even though Chu Zhu had just come out of the base, she perfectly simulated her demeanor and actions when she first saw the base before the reset, and successfully walked back in.

“Nuwa No. 17,” Li Kang said in Chinese as usual, and after Nuwa No. 17 responded, he then earnestly stated his request, “I implore you to grant the people behind me the privileges of a guest minister.”

If nothing unexpected happens, the next level will be temporary level one...

"Information successfully entered! Temporary Guest Permissions: Temporary Level 0 Permissions (valid for one month)."

Chu Zhu: "...?"

Chu Zhu almost thought she had misheard. What? This guest elder is level zero?

Okay, okay, is this how you play it? Chu Zhu was just good at controlling her emotions, otherwise she would have laughed in anger.

Fortunately, he was in the real world, triggering a butterfly effect that resulted in him gaining permanent Level 1 privileges! Otherwise, relying on Li Kang would have meant starving to death.
Li Kang, of course, had no idea what Chu Zhu was thinking. He turned around and first gave a detailed introduction to Nuwa No. 17. Although Chu Zhu already knew some of it, there was still some information that piqued her interest.

He said, "...Is the being before you a great and sacred avatar? Or perhaps just a thought?"

"This great and sacred entity resides in the Imperial Ancestral Temple in the capital! It enjoys the worship of the royal family for generations! The royal family and this great and sacred entity share both glory and disgrace, and there are even rumors circulating about them..."

Li Kang pretended to be deliberately mysterious, but to his surprise, Chu Zhu seemed to have no interest in it at all.

"Why are you deliberately keeping us in suspense?" Ning Linglong rolled her eyes and took over the conversation directly. "There's a rumor that the royal family is actually a descendant of this great and holy being. I feel it's probably true, otherwise, why would this holy being dedicate power to guarding the various capitals?"

"..." Chu Zhu felt this was darkly humorous. Descendants of artificial intelligence? What, is the entire Great Qian royal family made up of AI robots?
Li Kang glanced helplessly at Ning Fengxian and sighed to Chu Zhu, "Although I've already entered your information, this kind of temporary access requires me to re-enter it every month! Besides, there's no possibility of promotion. If you're really determined to join us, you'd better take the exam..."

"I have a question!" Chu Zhu interrupted Li Kang, "Can I stay at this base tonight?"

"???"

"!!!"

The atmosphere at the scene changed in an instant.

"...Are you serious?" Li Kang stared at Chu Zhu for a while before realizing he wasn't joking.

He lost his composure.

“Well, you, I…you're not without a place to stay! There's no room for you right now, and even if we had rooms, we wouldn't be staying here…”

Li Kang really wanted to ask, "Aren't you incredibly disrespectful? This is where a divine thought resides! How can you just casually move in like this?"
Is this a place to live?!
However, compared to the skepticism surrounding Li Kang...

"Ahem, although... Father Zhu, although I don't understand, you must have your reasons for doing this!" Guan Fei said shyly, "So, how about you stay in my room? Um, but my room doesn't have a bed! Well, if you've decided, I'll go there now..."
