Calamity of Tomorrow

"What?"

Dong Ming's heart tightened, only feeling that the other party's laughter was filled with an indescribable feeling, and then a great force came, dragging him into the darkness.

He screamed, wanting to resist, but found that in this dark void, all his mana had vanished, and he could not wield any spells or martial arts at all, being dragged helplessly without any strength to resist.

Ji Wufan sighed softly, "Back then, in order to completely sever the void, I made extensive preparations, worried that future generations might not resist temptation or for some reason refine void magic again, so we simply destroyed all the materials... I never expected that we would still ultimately lose to time."

Ji Wufan: "I thought it over and over, the beliefs passed down through generations would eventually be forgotten or distorted, future generations cannot be relied upon, artifact spirits may also fail one day, even if all materials are destroyed, someone will always research it again... Time is our greatest enemy."

"Under this eternal time, the only one I can trust is myself."

"The only way is for me to personally supervise humanity forever, to guide humanity."

Feeling that he was completely unable to resist, Dong Ming stopped thinking about resisting and instead demanded, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"Hehe." Ji Wufan's hoarse laughter came through: "You wanted to mend the void, didn't you? This is the breach of the void."

Following Ji Wufan's words, a light emerged in the darkness. Dong Ming didn't know if it was because of Ji Wufan's words or because of being dragged.

When he saw the light, he realized the surrounding darkness had completely vanished, and both he and Ji Wufan were in a pure white space.

Seeing Dong Ming's surprised look, Ji Wufan said coldly, "The void does not contain matter, everything here is determined by our consciousness and understanding, many concepts in the Material World have no meaning here."

"Most of the time, if you don't know, then even if you walk for ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years, you will find nothing in the void."

"But as long as you know, the next moment you can find what you're looking for in the void."

A glint of realization flashed in Dong Ming's eyes; they had researched the sixty-four hexagrams and the void for many years and naturally understood a lot of void knowledge, but it was still the first time entering.

He looked at the white space in front of him and asked, "Is this the breach of the void? Does it connect to the Material World?"

Ji Wufan replied indifferently, "This is connected to the Heavenly Dao."

"What?! The Heavenly Dao?" In Dong Ming's shocked eyes, as Ji Wufan's voice dropped and as Dong Ming's understanding changed, the entire white space transformed dramatically.

Green mountains, clear waters, blue skies, white clouds.

Dong Ming could even see a row of birds flying in the sky in the distance.

Mountains rose from the ground, and Dong Ming and Ji Wufan soared into the air, landing on the highest peak.

The entire mountaintop was a platform paved with white jade, and at the center of the platform floated a pure white door in mid-air.

The door was divided into two halves, about ten meters high and five meters wide, silently floating in mid-air but giving Dong Ming a strong sense of attraction.

Dong Ming asked curiously, "This is..."

Ji Wufan said indifferently, "Beyond the door is where the Heavenly Dao resides."

Dong Ming was startled, staring at the door speechlessly.

Numerous cultivators and celestial beings had cultivated for countless years, generations of the human race persevered in understanding the Heavenly Dao, feeling its mysteries, creating countless spells and martial arts, and constantly changing the world.

But what exactly is the Heavenly Dao? Is it possible to fully comprehend it? What happens after thoroughly understanding the Heavenly Dao? These have always been the highest pursuit of generations of human cultivators.

And now, it seemed that the result of this pursuit was presented right before him.

Doubts rose in Dong Ming's heart, doubting whether Ji Wufan was deceiving him, whether the real Heavenly Dao could be seen so easily. How vast, mysterious, and indescribable an existence it must be; how could it be just behind this door?

Ji Wufan, understanding Dong Ming's state well, smiled and said, "When I first saw it, I was as shocked and doubtful as you are now."

"Go ahead if you want to see it, to find out what the Heavenly Dao truly is."

Dong Ming hesitated for a second, then step by step walked toward the white door, placing his hands on its panels.

"Heavenly Dao..."

The door was even lighter than he imagined, as if it weighed nothing, and Dong Ming only made a pushing motion when he pushed it open a crack, through which he could see the contents behind the door.

Ji Wufan watched Dong Ming standing still at the crack of the door, as if he was dumbfounded, as if he had known what Dong Ming's reaction would be, he said nothing more, just silently watched Dong Ming's back.

Long after, Dong Ming slowly turned around, tears streaming down his face, and he smiled with emotion: "Is it really like this?"

"Hahaha, all in vain, we've all been in vain."

...

Zhou Bai was watching enthusiastically when suddenly everything went black, all images had disappeared, and when he came to his senses, he had already returned to the Heavenly Demon Base.

"What the..." Zhou Bai couldn't help but exclaim: "It's just gone?"

Em next to him also shouted: "Damn Ji Wufan! Did it really end there?!"

The Heavenly Demon Queen asked: "What did you see?" After receiving Em's data transmission, she couldn't help but say, "Is there nothing more after that?"

At this moment, all three wished they could immediately enter the void and extract Ji Wufan's memories to see what happened afterward and what the Heavenly Dao truly was.

Long after, Zhou Bai slowly recovered from the shock of gaining this memory, with a thoughtful look in his eyes: "Ji Wufan patched the void, preventing the void's harm to the Material World. And in the void, he seemed to always see the situation in the Material World, and over the long span of time, he experienced some kind of change in his heart, altering his past beliefs..."

"But what happened afterward? Did he come out of the void? Did he interfere with the Material World?"

Em said next to him, "Zhou Bai! Let's continue quickly, I'm so eager to see what happens next, it's so uncomfortable being left hanging, halfway like this."

In the Mars Base, a woman resembling Xiao Pe stood up naked, sighing: "With each successful acquisition of effective data, Em's void model is becoming more and more complete, and more target memories are being found. At the current rate, the next successful search for effective data should completely perfect the model."
