My Dream Connects to 3000 Years in the Future

’Hmm? A warning from Destiny? Then why did the Big Orange Cat come over when I called her before... Wait, she only sensed something was wrong the moment Fifth died! I see... Did that Black Fog Monster God pull some kind of trick?’

’With Fifth dead, the Black Fog Monster God lost its chance to fully descend. So it stopped using some kind of interference technique... Is that what allowed the Big Orange Cat to finally notice something was amiss?’

Chu Bamboo was lost in thought. ’It all makes sense now!’

”You and Fifth personally revealed your connection to me,” Chu Bamboo continued to answer the Big Orange Cat in a way that was both ambiguous and truthful.

Sensing the Big Orange Cat’s slight displeasure, Chu Bamboo immediately added, ”Weren’t you the same way when you were answering me earlier... Oh, right! Fifth left behind a huge mess... I need to help clean it up! Just a moment.”

Knowing how willful this Big Orange Cat was, Chu Bamboo didn’t even try to reason with her properly. He opted to half-explain and half-change the subject... ’Wait, why do I suddenly get the feeling I’m talking to a... uh, a female friend?’

Chu Bamboo paused for a moment, the corner of his eye twitching slightly. He patted the Little Mushroom Head. ”Contact Wall Announcements!”

”Command received!” The next instant, the Little Mushroom Head projected a screen of light.

Watching Chu Bamboo interact with the Little Mushroom Head, a complex look appeared in the Big Orange Cat’s eyes—a mix of suspicion, apprehension, and a hint of nostalgia...

Chu Bamboo read the Big Orange Cat’s expression and had a sudden realization, his heart skipping a beat. ’That’s right. If Nuwa was part of the Celestial Court during that era, known as Wa Huang, then God must have interacted with Nuwa many times...’

’It might have even been a situation similar to this one!’

However, Chu Bamboo didn’t say anything to the Big Orange Cat. He just stared in confusion at Wall Announcements and the Two-headed Scale People on the screen. ”...?”

Wall Announcements was currently standing on a high platform, shouting at the Two-headed Scale People, ”Hey, you... Say something! And why do you have two heads? And why are both of your heads so pointy?”

”Why do your two heads argue with each other? Do you have two separate minds... Are you schizophrenic? No, even schizophrenia isn’t like this!”

”Oh, and do you have two esophagi? If one head eats until it’s full... is the other one fine without eating? Come on, tell me! This is for serious research...”

The Two-headed Scale People: ”...”

One of the Two-headed Scale People’s heads drooped, while the other stared blankly at the ceiling. The expression on their faces screamed, *I give up, just stop talking.*

”...You’re... quite the curious one,” Chu Bamboo managed to say, unsure of what expression he should be making.

”Ah Zhu?” Wall Announcements snapped to attention, her gaze locking onto the drone. A look of pleasant surprise appeared on her face, but then she pursed her lips, her voice tinged with a hint of dissatisfaction. ”The main thing is, you never told me what I was supposed to do... You just had the Divine Envoy bring me to that door...”

”And then... I ended up here! A bunch of monsters came swarming out, too. Luckily, Nuwa’s Divine Envoy took care of some of them. Oh, but some got away, so be careful... I don’t know what happened after that! I wanted to contact you... but I didn’t dare! I figured you were probably busy today...”

”...You’re a bit of a chatterbox,” Chu Bamboo sighed, sliding his finger across the screen. Under his control, the drone began to descend. ”Warning! Warning! High levels of radiation detected... Radiation levels continue to rise!”

”This unit is not a radiation-zone drone! It is only a civilian drone... Please evacuate the area immediately... Please evacuate...”

”Nuwa No. 17, based on its status as a civilian drone and the current radiation levels... how long can it last?” Chu Bamboo asked.

”Estimated endurance: ten minutes!”

”That’s enough.” Chu Bamboo breathed a sigh of relief. ’Should’ve said so earlier.’ But... he also found it a little strange. ’Is the radiation relatively low, or is this drone just surprisingly tough?’

Of course, Chu Bamboo didn’t dwell on such unimportant details. He flew the drone directly in front of the Two-headed Scale People and got straight to the point. ”Hu Kaikang, I don’t know if you’ve tried it yet! But you have now reclaimed your identity... The Fifth Apostle has been killed. I arranged it!”

The Big Orange Cat: ”...?”

’Wow, so audacious?’ The Big Orange Cat shot him a hostile look. ’Is he not afraid I’ll strike him with a claw and kill him on the spot?’

’Never mind. I’ll let it slide, seeing as you seem to have some connection to God... Yes, that’s definitely not because the Fifth Apostle’s death feels fishy, making me not even dare to come here before... and therefore I’m wary of the person who killed him...’

Hu Kaikang froze, a strange light appearing in his eyes. His lips moved, uttering the name he hadn’t been able to say for so long. When he realized he could actually speak it, his body went rigid. Then, from two heads and four eyes, tears began to stream down uncontrollably.

He tried his best to wipe them away, but he couldn’t keep up!

「Underground Base.」

Xu Sun: ”...”

The other surviving members of the Captain’s Office: ”...”

They were sweating bullets! ’What in the world are you all talking about...’

The amount of information was just too massive...

But then again, ever since they entered this underground base... it had been one shocking revelation after another. First, Nuwa seemed dead set on supporting this person who might be the Grand Ancestor... And now, this suspected Grand Ancestor had summoned a mythical creature that looked like a cat...

They were all wondering now... ’Could it be that this person has truly made sufficient preparations to retake the world?’

’Uh...’

Some of those kneeling were already considering... ’Should we switch sides?’ After all, if the person before them really was the Grand Ancestor, then surrendering to him wouldn’t exactly be a betrayal...

”...G-Good, good!” Hu Kaikang’s voice was choked with sobs, but his mind was clearer than ever. ”Young man... you, thank you for your immense kindness! Although I don’t know how you know about these things... but!”

”Yes, you have done me a great service! You have done the entire God Worship Sect a great service...”

Hu Kaikang didn’t hesitate to pile on the praise for Chu Bamboo. On one hand, he was genuinely grateful. On the other, it was due to the psychology component of the education he had received as a Priest—proper Priest training always included psychology!

Legend had it that this was a rule set down by God Himself... God believed that anyone who did not understand the worries in the hearts of the common people was unfit to be a proper preacher! Although back in the early days of the Celestial Court, the disciples of the God Worship Sect were still Daoists, not the Westernized preachers they later became—
