Calamity of Tomorrow

Christina listened to Zhou Bai's words, finding them increasingly unsettling, yet somehow they seemed to make sense.

She watched Zhou Bai as he spoke, sensing a sinister aura emanating from him.

Zhou Bai: "The Human Emperor's Sword is the symbol of humanity's fortune. Her acknowledgment of me means I have been recognized by the human fortune."

Beside him, the Human Emperor's Sword vibrated softly: "All of humanity depends on you to save them, Zhou Bai!"

However, she thought to herself: 'Damn it, he's a madman! Heaven, quickly send someone to kill him. I can only hope he becomes more and more reckless, and directly provokes the Supreme Heavenly Venerate and the Grand Heavenly God Emperor. They'll surely crush this kid.'

Christina still felt something was off, but couldn't quite put her finger on it, so she just asked, "So, Zhou Bai... what do you plan to do specifically?"

Zhou Bai: "The first step is power. I still need to stick to the original plan, continue to enhance my abilities comprehensively, and strive to surpass the Grand Heavenly God Emperor and the Supreme Heavenly Venerate within a year, achieving the power to conquer all forces."

The Human Emperor's Sword inwardly sneered: 'Surpass the Supreme Heavenly Venerate and the Grand Heavenly God Emperor in a year? Crazy. This guy is talented, but also truly insane.'

Zhou Bai: "I believe with my intelligence and the foundation I have now, this isn't difficult."

"The second step is to defeat Heaven, the Heavenly Demons, mortals, and monsters, unifying all forces to create a peaceful world."

"Also, during this process, I will eradicate all evil populations."

Curious, Christina asked, "How do you eradicate evil populations?"

Zhou Bai replied, "By killing all the evil people."

Christina was speechless: "… actually eradicate them..."

Zhou Bai: "What, keep them around for the New Year? And as for those gods who want to exterminate Homo sapiens, their thoughts are too evil, completely anti-human and anti-society, they all need to be eradicated."

Elsa lay in the Sea of Consciousness, thinking in boredom: 'So boring... what are they even talking about... aren't they hungry yet?'

Christina: "This... you'd have to kill a lot of people, right?"

Zhou Bai righteously replied: "Tina, Chuzhi, Elsa, you all understand me. Being such a kind person, in a fight, I can't even bear to kill a bystander.

All the way, as long as the enemies weren't too excessive, I would avoid killing whenever possible.

To classmates, teachers, friends, I pride myself on being loyal and sincere.

In the battles of East China City and West Mountain City, I fought for the lives of the citizens, saving countless lives.

And for immortals like Zheng Wentian and Yan Shan, I spent effort teaching them, guiding them back to the right path..."

"I saved countless lives, changed the tragic fate of many, and eliminated some villains. But my biggest personal wish is to live a happy and peaceful life, coasting through life.

"But the heavens don't align with my wishes, and my modest desire just cannot be fulfilled."

"Look at the kind of people these powerful beings are in the world?"

"The Heavenly Demons massacre humans city by city. The monsters are even worse; they actually want to eat people."

"And the immortals are all wickedly vicious, not only exploiting mortals, but even turning them into materials for crafting aberrant weapons."

"In such an evil world, even a civilian like me, who just wants to get by, can't survive, forcing me to pick up the sword and fervently resist."

"So in the future, I intend to execute all those who disrupt the world and prevent us civilians from living well."

"In other words, all those I intend to kill are those who deserve it, it's justified."

"There's only one reason they are killed, just one reason: they forced us civilians to a point where we can't survive."

Christina was speechless and thought to herself: '… what you're saying essentially ... is that whoever displeases you, you kill them, measuring good and evil by your own standards…'

The Human Emperor's Sword exclaimed, "Well said! Zhou Bai! Your words are truly moving and awe-inspiring. Having a ruler like you, who empathizes with the people, is truly a blessing for the masses."

Chuzhi cursed to himself: "Bah! Bah! Bah! Why don't you just say you'll kill whoever you want! Ah... I, a divine artifact of humanity, now have to compromise and ally with this great demon king."

Elsa: "ZZZ snore..."

Zhou Bai stepped forward a few steps, standing mid-air from the rooftop of a building. He stood in the void, looking down at the vast city below, his eyes gleaming with colors: "With this, my future goal is completely set."

"Once I complete this goal in the future, I can lie on my bed in peace and lead a tranquil life."

"Tina, Elsa, Chuzhi, I'm telling you all this today because I hope you can lend your full support so we can change this world together, bringing peace to the entire world."

The Human Emperor's Sword emitted a phenomenon of golden Sword Qi excitedly: "Zhou Bai, wherever you point, I'll strike! When do we act? Shall we attack the heavens now and beat down the Supreme Heavenly Venerate and Grand Heavenly God Emperor for a change?"

Zhou Bai: "Chuzhi, it's great that you're motivated, but right now I'm not yet a match for those two guys. The current priority is still to first increase my strength."

'Damn sycophant, is this really a holy sword of humanity?' Christina sneered and thought to herself: '… But this situation with Zhou Bai seems familiar. Whatever you do, don't provoke him. Just outwardly agree and then slowly guide him. I need to talk more with Zhou Bai in the future...'

Outwardly, she appeared genuinely earnest as she said, "Zhou Bai! I'll definitely always be on your side!"

Elsa: "Snore... snore..."

Zhou Bai: "Great! Let's work hard together from now on to change the world and completely reshape it."

Then he returned home, with a long golden sword at his side, following him like a swimming fish, behaving obediently, much like a puppy following its owner.

Once inside, Xuan Nu had been waiting by the door for quite a while. Seeing Zhou Bai, she smiled and approached him: "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Zhou Bai casually pointed to Chuzhi by his side: "This is the Human Emperor's Sword. You've seen it before, but I've already convinced her, and she'll be following me from now on."

The experiences of the past few months have clearly brought tremendous psychological distress to the Human Emperor's Sword, at least outwardly making her completely unwilling to anger Zhou Bai.

Seeing the golden sword rush over, she respectfully said, "Hello, my name is Chuzhi. From now on, I'm just a sword in Lord Zhou Bai's hand. Wherever he wants me to slash, I will."

Zhou Bai said, "Xuan Nu, I need to focus more on my closed-door cultivation now, stay by my side, but don't disturb me needlessly."

With that, Zhou Bai skillfully lay down on the bed, a flick of his Primordial Spirit power covered himself with a quilt, and he entered a state of cultivation.
