Calamity of Tomorrow

Taking away the weapon spirit from Zhou Bai's Dantian Qi Sea, the Supreme Heavenly Venerate said indifferently, "Mortal, are you trying to test me? Mm... because you don't completely believe the 'truth' you know. So you want to understand the 'truth' through me, right."

Zhou Bai's expression turned solemn, yet he heard the Supreme Heavenly Venerate continue, "Love, hate, emotions... Why are you always so obsessed with these? In comparison, the Heavenly Dao, the void, time and space, eternity, the universe... Aren't these much more important than your narrow and fragile emotions?"

"As long as you are willing to complete the great marriage, you can write your name in the Immortal Ascension Book. You can become a legitimate god, possess almost infinite lifespan, control stronger power, and your future will have unlimited possibilities."

"Isn't such emptiness and hatred more important than these?"

Zhou Bai shouted, "How can the blood debt of billions of Homo sapiens be empty and illusory? Their appearances before their deaths still constantly appear in front of me. This planet could have had a better future, but it was you who ruined that future, turning this world into chaos."

"In our era..." Zhou Bai said coldly, "Was a million times better than your broken Heaven, broken Central City, and this chaotic world you've made."

Supreme Heavenly Venerate: "Can you gain immortality? Can you pursue eternal life, and seek invincible strength?"

Zhou Bai: "If you hadn't intervened forcibly, if we had enough time to grow, we might have achieved those."

Supreme Heavenly Venerate chuckled, not refuting, but said, "Zhou Bai, don't be childish. How many years has the existence of Homo sapiens been gone?

Now the human race is your companion, friend, comrade, and teacher, aren't they all humans now? They are also descendants of those who exterminated Homo sapiens. Why don't you kill them?"

Zhou Bai replied coldly, "After so many years, they have long ceased to be related to the people of that era... But you are different, you immortals who have experienced the Homo sapiens era are the murderers responsible for the slaughter."

"So what do you want to do?" Supreme Heavenly Venerate: "Kill all the gods and immortals of Heaven?"

"Let's deduce the outcome of your war."

"For example... If the history of Homo sapiens was disclosed, if your identity as Homo sapien was revealed, do you think the current Heaven and human race would accept you with a guilty conscience, or fear your revenge, and worry about your growth, wanting to kill you first?"

"Humans are the most ruthless beings in this world. We cannot tolerate any intelligent life other than us on this planet."

"Once Homo sapiens' history and your Homo sapien identity are revealed, everyone will only see you as alien, as a threat. Everyone will worry about what if you want revenge for Homo sapiens when you grow up? What if you want to revive Homo sapiens?"

"The whole world will attack you, and you will lose all your friends and companions."

"And with so many people attacking you, you can only fight back."

"You will have to kill your current companions with your own hands, kill your teachers, kill your classmates... or be killed by them."

"The outcome is either being killed by everyone in the world, or if they can't kill you, you'll face endless sieges unless you kill all humans resisting you, maybe millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions?"

The Primordial Spirit of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate continually surged into Zhou Bai's brain, seemingly slowly beginning to take over his brain, like a possession, taking the control from Deformed Shadow.

Supreme Heavenly Venerate: "On the contrary, if you choose to let go of this hatred, you will be our companion. Wanxian Island will fully support you. All humans worldwide will be your backing, and you will gain supreme status and power."

"For the sake of so-called 'compatriots' who died countless years ago, to kill your current classmates, teachers, friends, lovers? In the end, either you are killed, or you destroy this world?"

"Or live well with your companions, embrace infinite possibilities of the future."

"Are these two choices really needing hesitation? Zhou Bai."

Zhou Bai: "Do you really want a grand marriage? No, you have been lying to me all along, even using foolish power to deceive us."

Supreme Heavenly Venerate: "Hmm? You did get the inheritance of the void. Is it Tomorrow's plan? Did the Three Pure Dao Sect reconnect with them?"

Zhou Bai would naturally not speak the truth, but rather use this opportunity to gather intelligence: "Of course, they successfully contacted a long time ago. Now not only Qing Yunzi's descendants can contact them, but we can also."

"Lies." Supreme Heavenly Venerate: "You haven't contacted them at all, otherwise you wouldn't have this attitude now. It seems these two choices, you've chosen to be opposed to the world."

Zhou Bai laughed coldly: "These two... I choose neither. I choose to cut you down, then transform this world back to the way it was in the Homo sapiens era."

"It seems our conversation is over now." Supreme Heavenly Venerate sighed, "I originally thought you were wise, with grand ambitions, with momentum breaking narrow racial concepts, but it's a pity."

Zhou Bai only felt a momentary daze of the Deformed Shadow, seemingly completely controlled by Supreme Heavenly Venerate, smiled slightly and then frowned, "This is a clone, isn't it? No wonder... Forget it, make do with it."

He used Zhou Bai's clone to grasp Ming Yue's palm, seemingly saying something, but Zhou Bai couldn't hear it anymore.

...

In Donghua City, Christina said nervously, "Zhou Bai... are you okay?"

Zhou Bai shook his head: "I'm fine. Unfortunately, the Supreme Heavenly Venerate was too cautious, I couldn't gather much intelligence."

Christina: "Shall we activate Time Reverse now?"

Zhou Bai walked to the direction of the window, looked up at the sky, seemingly waiting for something.

Christina said: "Are you worried the Supreme Heavenly Venerate will come to kill you?"

Zhou Bai shook his head and said strangely: "The Supreme Heavenly Venerate is very powerful, I can't even see through what kind of Dao techniques he uses. With such strength, he shouldn't need to be so concerned about his actions. Also, during this time at Wanxian Island, he only acts when absolutely necessary."

Zhou Bai suddenly said: "Is there something holding back the Supreme Heavenly Venerate? That's why he can't easily come out?"

In the entire Heaven, what can hold back the Supreme Heavenly Venerate, even preventing him from leaving Central City, the only thing Zhou Bai could think of was the God Emperor.

"But what does the day of the grand marriage represent? Why must he do this?"

Christina: "Zhou Bai, what do we do next? Should we activate Time Reverse?"

"No need." Zhou Bai felt the state of the Deformed Shadow, and slowly said: "Since we're going to reverse time anyway, I might as well test the side of the Heavenly Demon again."
