Calamity of Tomorrow

Being stared at by Immortal Dao An, Zhou Bai felt uncomfortable: 'Judging from Immortal Dao An's tone, does he seem to know about the Sapiens? Know that pure-blood humans may not be pure-blood Spiritual People?'

'He also wants to check, does he have a method to distinguish between Sapiens and Spiritual People?'

At this moment, the voice of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate rang out again: "Don't worry, I have already examined the bloodline in his body. Zhou Bai is definitely not a Sapien, but a thorough Spiritual Person, recognized by the Heavenly Dao.

He possesses the purest Spiritual People's bloodline, and will definitely be able to give birth to a new generation of pure-power Spiritual People together with Ming Yue."

But the more Zhou Bai listened, the more something felt wrong. Since the Supreme Heavenly Venerate knew the difference between Sapiens and Spiritual People, why would he so confidently regard him as a Spiritual Person?

To say that the Supreme Heavenly Venerate's cultivation level, realm, or knowledge was insufficient to recognize the distinction between the two types of humans, Zhou Bai found it hard to believe.

'But if he recognized my Sapien identity, why still orchestrate the grand wedding? No, previous acts of lowering intelligence show that he was deceiving me all along. The Supreme Heavenly Venerate's goal was probably never the grand wedding, nor the revival of Spiritual People.'

'Thus, is it highly likely that he already knows my identity as a Sapien? What exactly does he want to do?'

The more Zhou Bai thought about it, the more he sensed an unspeakable secret and purpose hidden in the Supreme Heavenly Venerate.

Beside him, Ming Yue curiously asked, "What is a Sapien?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Bai's heart shook slightly, nervously looking at Ming Yue and Immortal Dao An, waiting to hear what they would say.

Immortal Dao An blandly said, "A very, very long time ago, during the battles between demons and us, a group of demons once aspired to evolve themselves into humans to practice Daoist arts, infiltrating the human race to steal Daoist arts, even aiming to secretly seize the status of immortals and gods."

Ming Yue exclaimed in surprise: "Is that so? Indeed, demons are cunning. What happened to them afterwards? Did they really succeed?"

"Demons, coming from various non-human species between heaven and earth, originally had great differences from us." Immortal Dao An sneered: "And this group of demons evolved into human appearances, secretly calling themselves Sapiens, thinking they belonged neither to demons nor to Spiritual People.

The cost of their evolution was that they had to completely abandon their demon bloodline, and their talent in cultivating Daoist arts was extremely weak. Among ten thousand people, maybe only one barely had the talent to cultivate the Daoist arts.

Sapiens can be said to be failures who belong to neither side."

Ming Yue curiously asked, "Did they finally manage to blend into the human race and steal Daoist arts?"

Immortal Dao An looked at Ming Yue and Zhou Bai with a glance, vaguely saying, "How could they be allowed to succeed? Naturally, they were all executed, and this race became history."

Zhou Bai's heart trembled slightly, understanding that between Immortal Dao An's casual remarks lay the deaths of tens of thousands, even hundreds of millions of Sapiens.

'Judging by Immortal Dao An's words, it seems he experienced the Sapien era... so...' Zhou Bai looked at Immortal Dao An before him, with a surge of murderous intent swirling in his heart, yet he constantly suppressed it.

Scenes of thousands of humans dying one after another seemed to flash in his mind, recalling images of corpses strewn across cities and streets...

Unable to resist, Zhou Bai slowly asked, "Immortal Dao An, did you also participate in the battle against the Sapiens back then? How many Sapiens did you... approximately kill?"

Immortal Dao An gave him a strange look and blandly said, "Possibly because of their evolution from demons, this race had a strong breeding ability. As for how many were killed at the time... to be honest, I never really counted, far too many."

Ming Yue nodded in agreement: "Well done, a group of demons daring to try to steal Daoist arts and become immortals is truly overestimating themselves."

She suddenly felt Zhou Bai's hand gripping hers tightly, turned her head to see him looking a bit pale, and sent a voice message asking, "Zhou Bai? Are you okay?"

Zhou Bai shook his head, forcing a smile, and looked at Immortal Dao An: "I'm fine. If... if they all evolved to break free from demon bloodlines and could even cultivate Daoist arts, wouldn't they already be true humans? Did we have to kill them all?"

"Those not of my race are bound to have different minds, let alone a race like the Sapiens whose purpose of birth was to replace us. How can such a race not be completely exterminated?" Immortal Dao An frowned, sensing Zhou Bai's expression was a bit odd: "Hmm? Do you have any questions?"

Zhou Bai's fists gradually clenched tight, and just as he was about to ask more, he felt a sudden tightness in his chest. An invisible force surged into his heart, clutching it tightly.

His Primordial Spirit energy rallied to resist, yet it felt as if the force was an illusion, the energy passing straight through, unable to affect it in the slightest.

Meanwhile, the voice of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate sounded in Zhou Bai's ear: 'Zhou Bai, don't ask about the Sapiens for now, let's talk about it later. Right now, your grand wedding with Ming Yue is crucial.'

Threads of gray Primordial Spirit energy gradually emerged from Zhou Bai's body. Feeling the normally operating gemstone, he boldly said, "Supreme, you know, don't you? You know about the fact that I'm a Sapien."

Zhou Bai's mouth made a sound, yet it seemed as if blocked by an invisible force. He felt as though he and Ming Yue, Dao An Immortal, were in two different worlds, where nothing he said could reach their ears.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Heavenly Venerate's voice suddenly turned cold: "What do you intend to do?"

Accompanying the Supreme Heavenly Venerate's words, ethereal, phantom-like Primordial Spirit energies penetrated Zhou Bai's body, traversing within him like maneuvering through space, where any solid defense was meaningless in face of this space-traversing spiritual force.

In this way, the Supreme Heavenly Venerate gradually deprived Zhou Bai of control over his body.

Zhou Bai, however, had no fear in his heart. After confirming that both the Supreme Heavenly Venerate and Dao An Immortal were aware of the distinction between the Spiritual People and Sapiens, and had participated in the massacre against Sapiens, he resolved that, even at the cost of Time Reverse, he must confront the Supreme Heavenly Venerate today and learn more.

The tone of Zhou Bai was chilling at this moment: "Supreme... since you know that I am a Sapien, aren't you afraid of my revenge?"

"Revenge?" Zhou Bai felt an invisible hand pressing on his heart, then moving down along it, caressing toward his Dantian: "You Sapiens are always so arrogant."

Feeling utterly immobile, as if he'd completely lost his ability to act, Zhou Bai coldly said, "You've increased the concentration of the spiritual energy, and killed tens of billions of Sapiens. Such a deep vendetta of blood... do you still hope for me to help you according to your will?"

At the same time, the invisible force surged into Zhou Bai's Dantian, whereupon he saw the soldiers within his Dantian Qi Sea begin to disappear one after another, seemingly all taken away by the Supreme Heavenly Venerate.
