My Dream Connects to 3000 Years in the Future

Chu Bamboo pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, “First of all, you said ‘suspected’ before… That means you’re not entirely sure the Moon is in trouble?”

“…You!” Guan Qianyu knew Chu Bamboo all too well. She instantly realized that he still hadn’t given up.

“Besides, even if they’ve modified the Moon, it can’t be the entire thing, right? If they only modified a part of it, with a little ‘luck’, it’s entirely possible to slip through without a hitch!” Chu Bamboo’s eyes flickered for a moment as he asked, “Can you take me to the Moon?”

Guan Qianyu clenched and unclenched her fists several times, repeatedly chanting in her mind, ‘I’m not familiar with the him from this timeline.’ After dozens of repetitions, she managed to calm herself down and said, “If we’re discovered halfway there…”

“Don’t worry, it’s all part of the plan!” A smile tugged at the corner of Chu Bamboo’s mouth. ‘If we run into enemies along the way… I’ll just kill myself! If I use up dozens of resets, I might just break through, right? Of course, if dozens of tries aren’t enough… then there’s nothing to be done. I’ll just have to see what the next life brings!’

“If you say so.” Guan Qianyu ran her hand through her hair in frustration. As reluctant as she was, within the Time Club, not even she could violate the first law established by Lin Xia.

Miss Guan looked toward the camera and asked bluntly, “Hive, are there any small, two-person space assault craft available?”

“An Aerospace Carrier is located on the fourth level of the Hive,” Hive replied calmly. “There are vehicles aboard the carrier that meet your requirements.”

Chu Bamboo’s expression became rather priceless. ‘To think I thought the butterfly effect had erased the Aerospace Carrier, but it just moved to the fourth level… But how come it wasn’t destroyed by God…’

‘Oh, right. The way this world is, it doesn’t look like God exists here anyway!’

“Then let’s go,” Guan Qianyu said, looking at Chu Bamboo.

“No!” Chu Bamboo shook his head. He activated his Destiny Divine Techniques, maxed out his luck, and quietly tried to sense the outcome. For some reason, he had a bad feeling.

Then he had another thought. ‘Leaving in ten minutes… still feels ominous. Leaving in twenty minutes… my hair is standing on end…’ It slowly dawned on Chu Bamboo that twenty minutes from now was probably the time Guan Qianyu mentioned—when the Extraterrestrial Civilization would be monitoring Shanghai, wasn’t it? ‘Hmm…’

Chu Bamboo shot Guan Qianyu a strange look. ‘You never thought we’d actually make it to the Moon, did you! So you’re just throwing caution to the wind…’

Speechlessly retracting his thoughts, Chu Bamboo continued to deliberate on their departure time. It wasn’t until he settled on 7:17 PM that he finally, for some reason, felt a sense of peace. “…”

He had to admit, the Destiny Divine Techniques were just too overpowered!

Especially when there wasn’t some powerhouse intentionally plotting against him from the shadows—

It was quite clear that in this timeline, because they had been so successful in suppressing human civilization, and had probably set up surveillance facilities on the Moon, the enemy had likely lowered their guard!

Even if there were routine surveillance patrols, how rigorous would they be? Probably on par with a security guard in the Real World, right?!

“7:17 PM!” Chu Bamboo looked at Guan Qianyu, stating the time precisely. He then sat down cross-legged and began his Cultivation. “Alright, wake me then! I’m a busy man… I need to focus my energy on Cultivation!”

Guan Qianyu: “…”

…

Time trickled by.

Finally.

The time had come.

The moment Guan Qianyu officially started the spacecraft, Chu Bamboo’s expression turned solemn. He reactivated the Destiny Divine Techniques he had reproduced earlier that afternoon. In the time since then, during breaks in his Cultivation, he had converted all of his Divine Techniques into Destiny.

Chu Bamboo first raised his luck to its absolute maximum. He then closed his eyes to sense the situation and confirmed that while a feeling of danger remained, it was indeed very faint. He breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, “Oh, you foolish Big Orange Cat, please watch over us!”

“?” Guan Qianyu turned to look at Chu Bamboo, her face contorted. ‘Listen to yourself, does that sound like you’re asking for a favor? Besides, what kind of god is the Big Orange Cat…’

In response, Chu Bamboo just shot Guan Qianyu a sidelong glance and urged, “Hurry up! It’d be best if we reached the Moon in three minutes.”

“Reaching it in three minutes, accounting for takeoff and landing? Heh, do you think you’re on a lightspeed vessel?” Rolling her eyes, Guan Qianyu took off, throwing caution to the wind. Still, she muttered worriedly, “If we run into danger, you have to go back immediately! I can only promise to buy you time with my life… but I can’t buy much… I don’t know how strong the enemy is! I only know they’re definitely very, very strong…”

“Don’t worry, I got this!” Chu Bamboo made an OK sign.

…

「An hour later.」

With a dazed expression, Guan Qianyu piloted the shuttle, landing on a patch of lunar soil. The Old Guanghan Palace Industrial District wasn’t here—or perhaps it once was, but had since been destroyed.

“…We just… arrived? Like that?” Guan Qianyu’s scalp tingled. She even wondered if the enemy was laying a trap. ‘But that’s impossible… Isn’t Chu Bamboo himself the most important target?!’

“See? What did I tell you?” Chu Bamboo chuckled.

“Wait!” Guan Qianyu suddenly realized. “We still have to… the spacecraft…”

“Oh! I’ve already got a plan for that.” Chu Bamboo raised an eyebrow. He brought back the Moisture Teaching’s Earth and Wood Divine Techniques, using them to fill the slot left by his Destiny Divine Techniques.

Rubbing the bridge of his nose, Chu Bamboo, his face slightly pale, used the Earth and Wood Divine Techniques. He simultaneously dug a path to the Memory Divine Domain and buried the spacecraft beneath the lunar soil.

Guan Qianyu: “…”

‘Don’t just solve every problem so effortlessly!’

Guan Qianyu was plunged into deep despair. ‘Could it be that all her careful planning, even her readiness to sacrifice herself… was all just needless worrying?!’

“It’s simple! Smart people overthink things.” Chu Bamboo saw what Guan Qianyu was thinking and immediately consoled her. “Perhaps the Time Club members around you, and the last elites of human civilization, have given you the wrong impression…”

“But in reality, the world is mostly run by makeshift teams!” Chu Bamboo paused and shrugged. “Right now, there’s no reason to believe that the Extraterrestrial Civilization is composed entirely of elites, with no makeshift teams of their own…”

Guan Qianyu: “…”

‘Is… is that how it is?!’

…

“Lin Xia! I…” Chu Bamboo entered the Memory Domain, but his words died in his throat. He frowned at the empty bar lobby. “Could it be… they were also…!”

“…They probably haven’t been awakened!” Guan Qianyu took one look around and basically figured out the situation.

Chu Bamboo frowned. Guan Qianyu, however, smiled. Back in her element, she had finally regained her composure.

“Maintaining the Memory Domain requires Energy… you were the one who supplied it initially! But later on… it required nuclear fusion devices! And quite a few of them… Actually, to be precise, it needs the Antimatter Energy provided by an Antimatter Engine! It’s just a pity… we couldn’t build those anymore by that point! We could barely manage to build fusion reactors.”

Pausing briefly, Guan Qianyu sighed softly. “So, that’s why the Memories normally need to hibernate, to reduce the Energy consumption of maintaining the Memory Domain long-term… But it doesn’t matter!”

Guan Qianyu shrugged, her demeanor completely different now.

“I know exactly where the Quantum Computer and the Antimatter Heart Engine are… We don’t need to wake them! As long as I get those two things… I can perform the surgery on you right here on the spot! Don’t forget, my Divine Technique is tailored for this.”

“…But, isn’t everything in here just memories?” Chu Bamboo’s expression was strange. He still remembered Lin Xia mentioning that only consciousness could enter the Memory Domain.

“The Memory Domain itself is like that…” Guan Qianyu gave Chu Bamboo a surprised glance, then nodded. “But you’ve forgotten… the base that hosts the Memory Domain is a real, physical entity.”

Chu Bamboo froze for a moment, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.

…

「Real World.」

Chu Bamboo slowly woke up, his expression dazed for a moment. He clenched his fists. “Well, that was something.”

All he could say was that Guan Qianyu was truly a top master of Genetic Modification. She had finished modifying him in just three hours… however, the adaptation period would take a month!

Chu Bamboo obviously wasn’t going to wait around for a month. He immediately killed himself to reset and discovered that while resetting couldn’t make his genes adapt instantly, the adaptation gained through the passage of time could be accumulated!

So, he decided to just cultivate in the Dream World, practicing until nightfall before killing himself again…

He repeated this cycle.

He continued until he had subjectively experienced a month within the dream, had perfectly adapted, and now possessed Fourth Realm Power… After that, he continued to cultivate relentlessly until he reached the limits of the Dream World. Only then did Chu Bamboo return to the Real World!
