Chapter 903: Choices (4)
"It's useless, you can't move. This is twice the highest gravity you can bear based on our calculations."
Em snatched the hexagram from Zhou Bai's hand angrily, saying, "Why did you betray us? Are you stupid? Aren't you a Homo sapiens? Shouldn't you stand with us? We are of the same race!"
Zhou Bai looked at her and sighed, "I am Homo sapiens, but among half-blood humans, many of them are my companions. I can't help you kill them, nor do I want to see you killing each other."
"I'm just as angry and sad as you about the extinction of Homo sapiens. There was a time... I also thought about wanting to kill everyone."
"But later, I understood that such thoughts are irrational, merely just to vent my anger.
The extinction of Homo sapiens... the murderers still alive are the Immortals and gods of Heavenly Court.
What does the extinction of Homo sapiens have to do with these half-blood humans now?
Are we going to hold them accountable for the sins committed by their ancestors dozens or hundreds of generations ago, mixed with god knows how many demon bloodlines?"
Zhou Bai shook his head, "It's unreasonable. If that's how we're going to reckon, then punishing descendants for their ancestors' mistakes would mean everyone would kill each other and no one would survive."
Em reached out and grabbed Zhou Bai's head, her eyes emitting waves of countless information, appearing troubled as she said, "Even if it's not about revenge, it's for our civilization, for our world. If we don't kill them all, one day the void will completely swallow this Material World."
Zhou Bai: "There are other ways, just like lightning, fire, explosions — weren't these disasters to early humans too? But learning how to use their power can turn these disasters into our resources.
The void is the same; the power of the void can be perfectly harnessed, as long as one can master the technology within it..."
At this point, Zhou Bai thought of his own Heavenly Calamity. He couldn't replicate the Heavenly Calamity for everyone, but if he could understand every star point's cultivation principle within the Heavenly Calamity, decipher all the technology, he believed the void wasn't that perplexing.
This period, using the power of the mad diagram, he made a large number of humans his followers, freeing them from the void's impact.
If he could extend this further, even completely grasp the principles and technologies of Heavenly Calamity...
But clearly, his words held no persuasiveness to the Heavenly Demons.
Em shook her head, "You want everything, but in the end, you'll get nothing. Perfect options do not exist in this world; sacrifices must be made."
Zhou Bai: "Perhaps, but I just want to give it a try."
The next moment, an endless brightness erupted from Zhou Bai's body — the Genesis Galaxy Obliteration.
Amid the terrifying explosion, the entire underground base of the Heavenly Demon was turned into ruins, but fiercer counterattacks soon followed.
Gravity guns... Anti-Primordial Spirit warheads... Antimatter bombs...
Various weapons Zhou Bai had never seen before were deployed by the Heavenly Demons.
Clearly, the power hidden by the Heavenly Demons was far stronger than he'd imagined.
The Deformed Shadow and the Heavenly Demons fought desperately, traversing thousands of miles, deploying various abilities of Zhou Bai.
Finally, with the detonation of the antimatter bomb, blinding explosions lit up the entire world, and the earth began to collapse like tofu, all matter was annihilated in this extreme destruction.
Lights directly broke through the atmosphere, and the astonishing brightness could be seen for thousands of miles around.
The Deformed Shadow quickly lost contact under the assault of the antimatter bomb.
As the explosion gradually subsided, Em's figure emerged from a rift in the void, silently observing the scene reduced to a giant pit.
...
Within Donghua City, endless explosions sounded sequentially.
Watching the flames outside rushing skyward, Zhou Bai sighed, "The Heavenly Demon's preparation was more thorough than I imagined. They even hid so many advanced weapons. It seems they had many advanced weapons unused during their last siege on Central City."
Christina: "After all, they just wanted to buy time last time. Facing the God Emperor and Supreme Heavenly Venerate, they knew they couldn't conquer Central City and thus couldn't use secret weapons."
Boom! The ground trembled, shockwaves tore apart the buildings in front of them, splitting the ground into a giant pit...
Christina looked in shock at Donghua City gradually turning into ruins: "How many bombs did they bury in Donghua City..."
"This probing was rather successful; at least we gathered a lot of useful intelligence on the Heavenly Demons and the Heavenly Court." Zhou Bai sighed, "I didn't think Supreme Heavenly Venerate would join forces with the Heavenly Demons, so for this grand wedding he wants to orchestrate, the Heavenly Demons will probably intervene secretly, right?"
"I need more power... to stop their chaos first, then use my method to change this world."
The next moment, dazzling white light covered the vision of both the person and the cat.
The antimatter bomb, capable of evaporating the entire Donghua City, was detonated.
The entire continent seemed to quiver slightly, billions of tons of smoke billowed, as if to plunge the entire Earth into darkness.
Tsunamis... earthquakes... volcanic eruptions... countless natural disasters were set to erupt due to this explosion.
This was a terrifying explosion that the Heavenly Demons hadn't displayed over the past hundred years.
All cities felt a significant tremor.
The continental shelf even shifted because of it.
Immortals and gods from Central City immediately mobilized, uniting to purge the Heavenly Demons.
However, everything changed in accordance with the slight change of the gemstone in Zhou Bai's sea of consciousness.
When Zhou Bai regained his senses, everything returned to four hours earlier, when Song Baiyi hadn't yet come to find Ming Yue.
Then, the same events occurred as before, and Zhou Bai made the same choices.
He repelled Song Baiyi, and defeated Dao An Immortal Venerable in one move, ultimately forcing out Supreme Heavenly Venerate.
This time, however, he didn't say anything extra, tacitly observing the few Immortals discussing everything.
Finally, Supreme Heavenly Venerate said, "This is how it is, the wedding between Ming Yue and Zhou Bai is crucial to the revival of Immortals and humans, and its significance is enormous. Before the wedding, the news must not be leaked.
In today's battle, the breath and aftershocks of your fight have been sealed off by me, none of the other Immortals and gods will know of today's events."
Dao An Immortal Venerable: "Do you think the righteous gods will oppose the wedding between Ming Yue and Zhou Bai? By the way, what's the matter with Xiang Tiandi? What is the Thunder Division doing?"
Zhou Bai looked at the other party, silently thinking: 'Dao An Immortal Venerable doesn't know about the demons infiltrating Heavenly Court? With his cultivation and status, he's unaware?'
