Calamity of Tomorrow
Chapter 666 666: 664 Harvest

Xiang Tiandi stood before him and said, "Calm down, they won't let you out like this."

"How can I be calm!!" Zi Yang True Monarch raged, "I am dying! Killed by a mortal!!"

"After I die, maybe you will turn me into a mutated weapon, won't you?"

"If it were you, could you stay calm?"

Xiang Tiandi could understand the other party. Once one became a god, unless they perished, their lifespan was virtually endless.

But Zi Yang was now in a state where, at most, he would completely mutate in a hundred years or two.

A hundred or two hundred years seemed very long for mortals.

But for many immortals and gods, that was far too short, almost like the blink of an eye.

After countless life-and-death crises and enduring severe hardship to achieve the status of a true god, along with the opportunity to unlock higher levels of understanding the Heavenly Dao, now it all came to an abrupt end at the hands of a mortal.

For Zi Yang, this kind of resentment that blocked his path was so deep that not even the waters of three rivers and five lakes could quell it.

Xiang Tiandi looked at Zi Yang and said, "Do you want revenge? Do you want to kill Zhou Bai? If you do, calm down. Then there's still a chance for you to get out."

Suppressing his rage, Zi Yang said, "Of course I want to. Not just Zhou Bai, he likes Three Pure Dao Sect, doesn't he? I'll exterminate the Dao School of Donghua, everyone he knows, I want to flay them, skin them! Devour them all!"

'Heh, Xiang Tiandi, you want to use my mutated powers? No problem, use them as you please, as long as you let me have my revenge.'

...

Sunset and sunrise, the sky grew dark and then bright again.

Zhou Bai just lay there in the valley for a day and night, and no one knew what he was thinking. Everyone felt that the low pressure around him seemed to gradually dissipate, and a faint smile slowly emerged on the corners of his mouth. The Zhou Bai in front of them seemed to have returned to his former self.

Zhou Bai got up, slowly stretched with a lazy yawn, his body making a series of crackling sounds, like steel bars colliding and clanging.

"Much better," he said with a smile. "Don't worry, Christina, I am fine now."

"All fine?" Christina popped out and touched Zhou Bai's head. "Really? You scared the cat to death yesterday."

Zhou Bai pushed her back down with a hand, and with a twist of his mouth, he said, "I see you didn't take notes on yesterday's showoff session, huh? That won't do, you'll never improve like this."

"I, Christina, don't need to learn that level of showing off," Christina turned her face away with a snort. "I just need to learn the most basic, simplest show-off moves."

Looking at Zhou Bai in front of her, Christina felt like he seemed to have returned to his original state, but also felt something was a bit different.

Christina sighed inwardly, 'It's as if... you've hidden your sorrow and pain inside, wearing a mask with a smile... Zhou Bai, you might fool others, but you can't fool me. We've been together for so long, being by each other's side, I know you too well.'

Meanwhile, a sense of determination and calmness flashed through Zhou Bai's mind.

'The extinction of Homo sapiens, this matter, I have to figure it out thoroughly by myself. I absolutely cannot make extreme emotional decisions; that could be used against me, even becoming my weakness.'

'The blood debt of billions of people, the disappearance of an entire civilization, what exactly is going on, is full of doubts, too much mist... On this matter, there can't be any mistakes, not one bit less.'

Be it immortals, gods, humans, or demons, the continuously changing times, were constantly altering Zhou Bai's heart, making him trust the outside world less and less.

Zhou Bai smiled, "Let's tally up this trip's gains."

Zhou Bai first looked at the End of Dharma Heaven Deformed Sword in his hands, a bizarrely shaped long sword crafted from blueprints extracted from the Dark Goddess, initially forged from third-tier greedy steel and possessing a material strength comparable to the Nine Realms Flying Sword.

After infusing it with Zi Yang True Monarch's Mutated Flesh, an indescribable change occurred within the sword.

Zhou Bai thought to himself, 'The End of Dharma Heaven Deformed Sword has two major abilities, one is the End of Dharma Spiral, and the other is the Heavenly Deform Sea.'

'The moment the End of Dharma Spiral is activated, just by seeing its shape, hearing its sound, or being touched by it, contamination will continuously increase, ultimately leading to inevitable madness and mutation.'

'The Heavenly Deform Sea is summoned from the void, reputed to possess the effect of Sealing Heaven and Earth, and recreating life.'

'Continuously refining mutated beings from above the Nine Realms into it, one can bit by bit unlock and enhance these two abilities.'

'I used a piece of Zi Yang True Monarch's flesh, although only a small chunk, but it is still the flesh of an immortal god, and it has already unlocked the ability of the End of Dharma Spiral.'

Holding the End of Dharma Heaven Deformed Sword in his hand, with a thought, streams of Primordial Spirit power were already infused into it.

In fact, this special weapon did not require Primordial Spirit power to be driven, merely the user's intention was enough.

But Zhou Bai had clearly become accustomed to using Primordial Spirit power, where thought followed spirit, which had become a kind of instinct.

The next moment, the sword, with both its body and hilt spiral-shaped, eerily began to spin.

The blade and handle miraculously rotated in opposite directions, as if continually changing shape at any moment, imparting to the onlooker a sense of distortion and chaos.

Zhou Bai glanced at it and noticed that his contamination level had increased by 1 point.

At the same time, as the End of Dharma Heaven Deformed Sword rotated, a 'whoosh whoosh whoosh' sound emerged from within the blade, becoming increasingly tragic and terrifying, like countless wailing spirits inside.

Moreover, due to touching the handle, Zhou Bai seemed able to see an illusion, as if the whole world was shrouded in a layer of blood.

Inside the sea of consciousness, Christina and Elsa both felt a hair-raising sensation.

Zhou Bai looked at his contamination level and stopped the End of Dharma Spiral, silently estimating its power.

'Whether by seeing, hearing, or touching, contamination increases by 1 point per second. And if one sees, hears, and touches at the same time, then it's 3 points per second.'

'If it weren't for my Fool's Calamity ability that can transfer contamination and the Laziness treatment that can cure it, this thing is practically made for suicide.'

'But with me using it, there are indeed many ingenious applications.'

At the same time, Zhou Bai found that the Mysterious Maiden was staring wide-eyed, looking longingly at the End of Dharma Heaven Deformed Sword in his hand, as if she had seen her long-lost son.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Bai couldn't help but think, 'What would happen if the Mysterious Maiden used the End of Dharma Heaven Deformed Sword? Since she's already a mutated being, wouldn't the so-called increase in contamination potentially boost her power?'

However, this thought was just a thought for now, as Zhou Bai had no plans to give the sword to the Mysterious Maiden just yet.

He continued to watch her, a flicker of inscrutable light flashed in his eyes, which slowly started to unsettle the Mysterious Maiden.

Zhou Bai thought to himself, 'No difference, huh.'

Then Zhou Bai closed one eye, watching the Mysterious Maiden only with the Demon Illuminating Eye, then switched to the other eye, and finally looked with both eyes together.

No matter how Zhou Bai tried, the Mysterious Maiden he saw with the Demon Illuminating Eye looked no different from how he saw her with his normal eyes.

'After mutating... is there no longer any demonic bloodline? Why is that?'

'Forget it, the Mysterious Maiden probably doesn't know herself. But concerning her fate...'

Looking at the small azure speck above the Mysterious Maiden's head, reminiscent of a kitten just breaking through the soil, Zhou Bai couldn't help but laugh.

Zhou Bai patted Em on the shoulder and said, "Unbind the Mysterious Maiden."

Feeling the restraints on her being released, the Mysterious Maiden looked at Zhou Bai warily, "What do you want to do?"

Zhou Bai wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "Provide for me."
