Calamity of Tomorrow
Chapter 683 683: 681 Attack and Know (Thanks to the alliance leader 'DXK19980215' for the reward)

Outside, Xiang Tiandi pinched his chin, looking towards the gate and said, "Continue the attack."

Fu Lei True Monarch pointed with a finger, and thunderbolts fell from the sky, striking directly inside the door.

He casually released Dao techniques and asked, "Should we keep attacking? We can't see the results of such attacks. Also, if the clone dies, won't it alarm others?"

Xiang Tiandi responded, "He has been inside for too long. Zhou Bai clearly has the ability to survive in the void; previously, he had already sealed many Primordial Dao Treasures. Since he still hasn't come out, he must be carrying out some plan inside."

Xiang Tiandi's gaze flickered slightly, "This kid, he might be directly cultivating the Primordial Dao Treasure inside. It's not impossible to use clone Dao techniques for that, envisioning through his clone..."

"If that's really the case, then guarding outside is meaningless. He can completely use the envisioning to dissolve the clone and then seek out the next Primordial Dao Treasure."

"Even at the risk of startling him, we cannot give him any chance." Thinking this over, Xiang Tiandi squinted his eyes, "Force his clone out."

Meanwhile, powerful heat surged towards them and a primal fear arose in the hearts of countless cultivators on the ground. The air seemed to buzz with electricity, making the hair on their bodies stand on end.

They then saw Zi Yang True Monarch shaping a Dao technique, his eyes filled with madness. The entire sky had dark clouds swirling above, as thousands of thunderbolts converged and formed a massive pillar of lightning, striking towards the gate.

Suddenly, the world was covered in a dazzling light; in this moment, countless cultivators felt as though they could see nothing and hear nothing.

Fear deeply ingrained in their minds, they realized how overwhelmingly powerful the celestial beings were.

Zheng Wentian sighed, "Faced with such a vast difference in power, mortal cultivators, if unable to ascend, amount to nothing no matter their number."

...

Inside, the entire area seemed to tremble violently, with bursts of light and heat exploding in the sky.

The sharply rising temperatures brought with them tumultuous winds that transformed into shock waves sweeping across the surface of the water. Zhou Bai had to control his Twisting Shadow, releasing the power of his Primordial Spirit to resist the shock waves.

Doctor Zhuang said, "Someone is attacking this place, this area is becoming more unstable. If you want to take the Primordial Dao Treasure 06, you better be quick."

"Remember, this tree is the offspring of the Twisting Phenomenon that erupted from the Primordial Dao Treasure 06. Cut it all down, and you'll find the Primordial Dao Treasure 06 at the very core."

Zhou Bai frowned, his first thought going to the celestial gods,

"They've taken the offensive... Have they discovered my presence? Indeed, these celestial gods are not to be underestimated."

With this thought, Zhou Bai hurriedly looked at Doctor Zhuang, "I still want to ask one more question..."

But he saw Doctor Zhuang slowly fading away, crumbling from the feet up, like a broken doll.

Stunned by this sight, Zhou Bai immediately tried to harness Primordial Spirit power to protect him, yet felt it pass straight through, unable to touch him at all.

Doctor Zhuang said, "Sorry, it seems I've long been dead. My current state is probably just a reflection of your consciousness in the void."

With that, he shrugged his shoulders, "Do you have any other questions? Perhaps I know. After all, the void reflects everything in the Material World, containing endless information."

"The reflection from the void often isn't false. It simply shows you what you want to see."

"In a way, you might consider yourself as having spoken to the historical version of me."

"You'd better hurry with your questions," Doctor Zhuang looked at his gradually crumbling fingers and spoke indifferently, "The balance between the Material World and the void here has been broken. I'm about to disappear."

"The reflection of void..." Zhou Bai clenched his teeth and still asked, "What is your purpose? You've hidden all these original texts and replicated so many people, what on earth are you trying to do?"

"My purpose..." Dr. Zhuang fell silent for a moment, his entire lower body already completely shattered, his broken body spreading towards his chest.

"Immortals... are a plague to all living beings, I wish to seal Heaven and Earth, hoping there will be no more immortal ways in the human world..."

After saying this, Dr. Zhuang had already dissipated a great deal, with only half of his head left, slowly crushing in mid-air.

At the same time, the entire sky and ground were filled with torn black fissures, and the breath of void surged out from them.

The whole area was rapidly falling into the void.

Hearing Dr. Zhuang's words, Zhou Bai was stupefied; he could never have imagined that Dr. Zhuang would harbor such a thought, such a purpose.

But he had similar thoughts recently.

That was when he saw the information about the extinction of Homo sapiens, he couldn't help thinking that if there was no revival of spiritual machines, if there were no such things as the paths of immortals, no immortal beings, perhaps the world would be better and would continue to prosper and develop steadily along the original trajectory of Homo sapiens.

But now Dr. Zhuang had also developed a similar thought?

At this moment, Zhou Bai instinctively had a thought, a thought that popped into his mind bizarrely, which made him subconsciously speak out.

"Do you know about the extinction of Homo sapiens?"

As his whole head began to slowly dissipate, Dr. Zhuang was taken aback when he heard this, and his gaze towards Zhou Bai revealed a look of surprise, then a trace of regret: "It's too late, they..."

Unfortunately, the next moment, the lower half of Dr. Zhuang's face had completely shattered, and all that could be seen were his remaining pair of eyes looking at Zhou Bai, conveying endless regret.

Seeing this scene, a series of unbelievable thoughts instantly raced through Zhou Bai's mind.

'You know? You actually know?'

'How do you know?'

'What exactly do you know?!'

When he first met Dr. Zhuang at that base, the latter obviously knew nothing about the Homo sapiens nations like the United States and India.

What had Dr. Zhuang encountered later, and where did he get the information about Homo sapiens?

Zhou Bai fiercely reached out for the last remnants of Dr. Zhuang, but could only watch as he dissipated into the air, with the void fissure that opened behind him about to completely disappear.

Seeing this, Zhou Bai repeatedly tried to use the power of the Primordial Spirit to pull Dr. Zhuang back, but only found himself fruitlessly moving through his remains.

Looking at Dr. Zhuang, who was about to completely dissolve into a patch of faint light, Zhou Bai shouted fiercely, "Come back!"

The information related to Homo sapiens, Zhou Bai did not want to let go of even the slightest bit, his emotions intensely flaring up within him while his mind strove to operate calmly.

At this moment, Zhou Bai knew that ordinary methods were useless for the situation at hand.

The first thing he thought of was Time Reverse.

Thus, time rapidly changed, and Zhou Bai repeated his actions once more; this time, as soon as he saw Dr. Zhuang, he asked the questions he wanted to ask: "What do you know about the history of Homo sapiens? Their extinction, how much do you know about it?"
