Calamity of Tomorrow

Zhou Bai said incredulously, "Even the Supreme Heavenly Venerate wants to kill all the immortals and gods on the entire planet? How is that possible?"

Heavenly Demon Queen: "Nothing is impossible. The Supreme Heavenly Venerate is a Taoist fanatic who only seeks eternal life and limitless power."

Zhou Bai was puzzled: "What does this have to do with killing all life on the entire planet?"

Heavenly Demon Queen: "The more people in the Material World communicate with the void, the stronger the void's infiltration into the Material World."

Zhou Bai was slightly taken aback: 'The Heavenly Demons already know this theory too? It seems it's not just Dr. Zhuang and Li Zhengdao who know about it...'

Heavenly Demon Queen: "Demonic bloodlines can borrow the power of the void, and aberrations are even more infiltrated by the void's power. Now the entire world's humans are mixed blood, and even immortals and gods have mastered the Taoist arts to communicate with the void."

"They... they are all pests to this world. Their very existence will drag the entire world into hell."

"Therefore, the Supreme Heavenly Venerate's idea is to exterminate all life, including gods, immortals, demons, aberrations, and humans, to sever the connection between the void and the Material World."

Zhou Bai sneered: "Are you trying to say that the Supreme Heavenly Venerate is doing this to save the world? Killing everyone to save the world?"

"Of course not," the Heavenly Demon Queen continued, "As far as I know, the Supreme Heavenly Venerate only has one goal, which is to become the ultimate existence with eternal life and invincible power... like the Heavenly Dao."

"But the infiltration of the void has distorted the Heavenly Dao so he can no longer comprehend it or approach the Heavenly Dao."

"By killing all life on the planet and restoring the void infiltration to how it was thousands or tens of thousands of years ago, he can better comprehend the Heavenly Dao and pursue eternity."

Zhou Bai shook his head: "It's an absurd plan, and if in the end only he can communicate with the void, how can you be sure he'll do as you think? He'll become the invincible existence, and no one will be able to restrain him."

"How can you be sure this is truly his plan?"

Heavenly Demon Queen: "That's why we're trying to communicate with the void through divination to grasp more void power, to balance the immortals and gods in the future."

"And even if this plan doesn't succeed, at least we can use the Supreme Heavenly Venerate to eliminate the forces of the Heavenly Court. No matter how many die, it's only advantageous for us, not detrimental."

Zhou Bai took a deep breath and then asked, "So, even if there's no more killing impulse, do you still intend to kill everyone on the planet?"

"Nonsense," the Heavenly Demon Queen replied icily, "Zhou Bai, I've had enough of your games with those mixed bloods. What do you think we're doing? This is war, and on this planet, in this galaxy, there can only be one intelligent race, and that is us."

Zhou Bai: "The humans on Earth are innocent, and you've already killed enough of them."

"Innocent?" the Heavenly Demon Queen said, "Wars have never stopped because of innocence. You think they're innocent, but if these innocent humans grow up and gain enough strength, do you think they won't seek revenge? Won't try every means to eradicate us?"

"And those immortals and gods, they're always thinking about killing us. The more they grasp the void, the greater the threat to this world."

"And the demon bloodlines, whether it's their demonic nature or their ability to communicate with the void, will only destroy this world, making it less suitable for living, causing the Heavenly Dao to become even more distorted."

"Letting them continue to live and reproduce will only result in no one surviving."

"Only by killing them can we save this world, can we revive the sapiens civilization. Choosing the lesser of two evils, do you understand?"

Metallic tentacles reached out towards Zhou Bai: "Now, hand over the divination, and let's continue today's experiment."

"What if I refuse?" Zhou Bai asked, "What if I want to stop your plan?"

The Heavenly Demon Queen said coldly, "Zhou Bai... you are a sapiens; do you want to stop the revival of sapiens? Keeping them will only lead to more severe infiltration by the void and greater distortion of the Heavenly Dao."

Zhou Bai: "There's no need to kill all life on Earth; sapiens can revive too."

Heavenly Demon Queen: "Having it both ways... that's just wishful thinking on your part. How can you stop all sapiens from seeking revenge? And how can you prevent those mixed bloods from seeking revenge on us? All for your pitiful kind heart?"

The Heavenly Demon Queen chuckled, "But from the moment sapiens rose on this planet, it was accompanied by the extinction of countless lives and races. We can say we've walked over the extinction of one species after another; the rise of one race means the decline of countless other races."

"Zhou Bai, this relentless war started long before you were born, a hundred years ago, a thousand years ago, ten thousand years ago, even a hundred thousand years ago."

"Whether it's sapiens, mixed blood human race, or demons, or immortals and gods, to become the top existence in this world, they would use every means and all the malice they could muster."

"Zhou Bai, your very existence as a sapiens is the result of countless killings and the extinction of countless races."

"And now, cleansing the Earth, restarting this world, is the best choice, just like the numerous mass extinctions this planet has experienced in the past."

"Wanting everyone to live will only make the Heavenly Dao's distortion more severe and result in everyone's death."

"You must choose: either only we live, or everyone dies together."

Zhou Bai shook his head: "I can't watch my companions and innocents be slaughtered en masse, and I don't want to see you exterminated either. I will find another way to solve this problem. So, I still don't agree with your plan; what will you do next? Threaten me?"

The Heavenly Demon Queen was silent for a moment, seemingly not expecting Zhou Bai to still refuse to compromise at this point.

Then she finally said, "All the mechanical troops you created are equipped with self-destruct devices. With a single order, they'll all detonate the warheads inside them, and Donghua City will be reduced to ruins first."

"So... hand over the divination."

Zhou Bai said calmly, "Blow up Donghua City if you want, but I won't give you the divination anymore." He thought to himself: 'Did they leave a backup plan among the followers? Just as well, let's see what other weapons and means the Heavenly Demon has hidden.'

The tension persisted between them for a while, and just then, slight visible ripples flashed through the air. Suddenly, a powerful gravity pressed down on Zhou Bai, making it difficult even for someone with his power to move.

"This is..."

Em walked over irritably, accompanied by dozens of floating cannons around, all aimed in Zhou Bai's direction and pulsing with a ghostly blue light. The energy from the entire Heavenly Demon base was being endlessly funneled into these weapons, causing even the light around Zhou Bai to twist under the terrifying gravitational force.

"Gravity gun?" Zhou Bai exclaimed, "Didn't you say it was still in the experimental phase? It's already this powerful?"

The Primordial Spirit force in Zhou Bai's body exploded repeatedly as he tried to move, only to find it incredibly difficult, as if he was bearing the weight of dozens or hundreds of mountains, severely limiting his physical mobility.
