Calamity of Tomorrow
Chapter 665 665: 663 Calm down

Xuan Nu glared furiously at Zhou Bai, as if her resentment was about to solidify into substance.

The Emperor Sword seemed as if it had died, but in fact, it was seeking an opportunity to escape.

Em's hands, wrapped around Zhou Bai's neck, tightened as if trying to strangle him.

Christina prattled on in Zhou Bai's mind, clumsily and cautiously spreading "chicken soup," trying to encourage Zhou Bai while also admonishing him.

Elsa looked somewhat scared and worried, like a puppy that had been abandoned.

Zhou Bai rubbed his brow, feeling the state of the several females around him. Originally, after seeing the 'final scene' sent by the Heavenly Demon, his heart had been extremely restless and miserable, and now he felt somewhat annoyed again.

However, sensing the concern from Christina and Elsa brought a slight warmth to his heart.

Zhou Bai said, "It's okay, Tina. I'm fine, at least for now, I won't lose my composure again."

At the same time, he spoke somewhat irritably, "I don't need concern, I just need some time to be quiet."

"Oh," Christina said carefully, "What exactly happened... You can tell us whenever you feel like it. But as it is now, do you really intend to join the Heavenly Demon?"

"It's not about joining," he replied, "but I indeed have many things that I need to verify through the Heavenly Demon."

"Moreover, the Four Great Taoist Schools can no longer be of much help to me, as for the immortals... if they support me, my cultivation could advance by leaps and bounds in a single day. However, the power of the heavenly sovereigns and the divine emperors is too strong, and the righteous gods harbor ill intentions towards me. Dealing with them every day is too troublesome."

"On the other hand, if I could utilize the power of the Heavenly Demon, my progress could be greatly accelerated."

Zhou Bai's tone turned cold, as if chills were drifting from his mouth. He thought to himself: "But I cannot fully trust them, so before meeting them, I need to make some preparations, such as... waiting at least seven more days for the cooldown of 'Time Reverse.'"

Zhou Bai looked at his palm and thought to himself: 'Moreover, my current state is not suitable to continue fighting. My composure and rationality have not yet recovered.'

Then, Zhou Bai patted Em's arm: "Em, you're about to strangle me to death, loosen up a bit."

It was then that Em loosened her grip slightly, but still clung tightly to Zhou Bai.

'This seductive bitch...' Christina thought as she glanced over the scene, but considering Zhou Bai's current poor state, she said nothing.

After briefly explaining to Christina, and temporarily calming the restless and anxious Christina and Elsa, Zhou Bai remembered the extinction of the intelligent beings, but he had no intention of discussing it with Christina and the others.

Christina could vaguely sense that the current Zhou Bai, although not mentally broken, driven to madness, or deformed, was definitely different from before.

'Some irreversible changes have already occurred in Zhou Bai, all caused by the Heavenly Demon.' Christina looked at Em clinging tightly to Zhou Bai and sighed inwardly, 'Heavenly Demon, you're playing with fire.'

'So worried about Zhou Bai's condition, but he seems to be refusing to connect with others emotionally.'

'Don't close off your heart, Zhou Bai.'

Feeling Zhou Bai's changes, Christina thought for a moment, and finally could only offer sincere comfort: "Zhou Bai, no matter what happens, we will support you from behind. You can share your troubles with us. Haven't we always been united in our journey?"

Zhou Bai nodded, then slowly lay down, speaking tiredly, "Tina, it's okay. Let me rest for a bit. I… I'm too tired… Let me rest for a day... I also need to take this opportunity to think things through thoroughly."

Feeling a deep sense of fatigue emanating from Zhou Bai's words, Christina sighed and said nothing more, but she could feel an invisible crack, seemingly widening between her and Zhou Bai.

Zhou Bai said to Em, "Em, from now on, just keep reading those characters until I tell you to stop. Do not communicate with anyone else except me."

Em obediently nodded, his eyes fixated on the text on the ground, looking incredibly focused, just like a primary school student engrossed in reading.

Without speaking or practicing, Zhou Bai simply lay in the canyon with his eyes closed, seemingly lost in thought, apparently just taking a simple rest.

And only visible to Zhou Bai on the auxiliary cultivation system panel, numerous names constantly appeared.

Zi Yang True Monarch Wisdom-5

Xiang Tiandi Wisdom-1

Ghost Slayer Wisdom-1

Ming Yue Immortal Wisdom-5

Watching the information popping up on the panel, Zhou Bai secretly thought, 'The lies I just left behind, are these immortals still spreading them among each other?'

With the ability to transmit secondarily, once the lies spread widely, they could cause the victims to transmit among each other, continuously spreading the lies like a contagious disease.

'However, with their abilities, they will soon realize it, and it's not hard to stop the fool's spread.'

Watching the names on the panel constantly jumping, eventually becoming fewer until completely stopping, Zhou Bai sighed, 'Did they find it out? And quickly stopped the spread too. Unfortunately, the name I'm looking for isn't there. Did they change it? Or are they dead?'

'But getting a list of the immortals and assessing their relative strengths through the reduced figures isn't a total loss...'

'It looks like the next time we meet, the ability they saw of Heavenly Human Catastrophe might not be very useful. I need more power.'

Zhou Bai never underestimated these immortals from the heavenly courts; whether in terms of strength or wisdom, they far surpassed ordinary people and would surely devise various ways to counteract his abilities.

Thus, he needed to enhance the power of Heavenly Human Catastrophe, cultivate more divine figures, to always have the chance to suppress the immortals whenever they met.

After observing the changes above, Zhou Bai closed his eyes and continued to lie down, watching the six blue lights in his sea of consciousness, with scenes continuously flashing through his mind.

The six blue lights in his sea of consciousness were the harvest he had reaped from Zi Yang True Monarch and Xiang Tiandi.

But Zhou Bai was not in a hurry to allocate points, nor even considering the matter of adding points; instead, he was contemplating more complex, more profound things.

In the real world, as Zhou Bai lay quietly on the ground without a word, the air was eerily quiet, to the point where Christina and Elsa were frightened by Zhou Bai's demeanor, also feeling oppressively silenced by the atmosphere.

...

In the heavenly courts, within a sealed, closed chamber.

A bizarre creature was firmly locked down by numerous runes, it was Zi Yang True Monarch temporarily suppressing the distortion.

At this moment, he was constantly twisting and changing, emitting waves of violent emotions toward the surroundings.
