Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 544 - 543 Reflecting and Farewell

Zhou Bai had finally completed the 'Apocalypse Heavenly Skeleton Armor,' which had significantly increased his strength. For the next few days, he did not think about continuing his cultivation, but instead focused on accumulating laziness points.

After all, many of his abilities required the consumption of laziness points, which were also crucial for healing and restoring his body.

Thus, for the remaining days, he mainly spent his time dealing with trash to accumulate laziness points, saving them for the eventual Daluo Heaven discussion.

In his room, Zhou Bai looked at the statue of the Primordial Daoist Text 05 in his hand and thought to himself, "Transformation degree, Primordial Spirit points, contamination level, I've basically reached the limit of what I can achieve right now."

Transformation Degree: 50.0%

Contamination Degree: 80/110

Primordial Spirit Points: 7634

Divine Diagram: Heavenly Man Nine Calamities

Laziness: 1.01 million

Zhou Bai glanced at his panel and thought, "The next steps for enhancement could be the Primordial Daoist Text 06, collecting materials to upgrade the armor, then increasing the transformation degree and learning the other five Divine Skills."

"However, it's too late now. I'll have to wait to get the Primordial Daoist Text 06 after this Daluo Heaven discussion."

Zhou Bai sensed the hidden coordinate information within Primordial Daoist Text 05, "The southwest direction, huh? I'll have to go get the Primordial Daoist Text 06 myself next time. As the Heavenly Dao distorts, this thing is becoming more dangerous. If I leave it to Yan Hui and the others, I don't know how many people will be sacrificed. Better I go myself."

Looking at the Primordial Daoist Text, Zhou Bai was reminded of Dr. Zhuang and what Jiaojiao had previously revealed.

During this period, after hearing the secrets revealed by Jiaojiao, Zhou Bai kept recalling the clues he had gathered in the past, cross-verifying them to deduce the real truth behind the Heavens and humans.

"Now thinking back, Dr. Zhuang once thought that the adjustment of the Primordial Spirits by the immortals was meant to change the bloodlines of humans. Those adjusted would no longer be pure-blooded, as pure blood was intentionally taken away."

"Now, it seems that maybe the adjustment of the Primordial Spirit wasn't just to combat anomalies, but was the immortals' way of suppressing the demonic blood within the human race?"

"If that is the case, could it be that what Dr. Zhuang thought were 'pure-blooded humans' are actually those with a richer demonic lineage?"

Considering this, Zhou Bai felt a sense of irony, but then he suddenly thought of himself, "But Dr. Zhuang in the base once said I am also one of the last humans, he must have examined my body, right?"

"If we compare me with Elsa and the others, does he think I am like them too?"

Every time he thought about this, Zhou Bai couldn't help but frown, "Was Dr. Zhuang wrong? His research on human bloodlines, isn't it complete?"

Sitting nearby, Christina said, "Thinking about Dr. Zhuang and Jiaojiao's affairs again?"

In the recent days, Zhou Bai had discussed many possibilities and conjectures with Christina. Seeing Zhou Bai pondering over the Primordial Daoist Text, Christina knew what he was thinking.

Zhou Bai nodded. "Was Dr. Zhuang wrong? Perhaps he couldn't detect what the real human bloodline is."

Christina lay on the bed, her white stomach exposed, her tail pressed beneath her and flicking back and forth.

She casually said, "Don't think too much, who knows if what Jiaojiao said is true?"

Zhou Bai frowned, "Do you think Jiaojiao would deceive us?"

Christina shook her head, "Not necessarily deceiving us, but maybe she herself has been deceived? Jiaojiao is just over a hundred years old, not even two hundred, right? So she didn't experience the battle between good and evil, nor the great war between humans and demons."

"The secrets of the demonic bloodline she knows were all from reading the scriptures of the Three Pure Dao Sect. But what if the scriptures were wrong?"

Zhou Bai puzzled, "The scriptures wrong?"

Christina, "I'm not sure either. I only think back when you believed Dr. Zhuang was right, now you think Jiaojiao is right, but depending on who is right or wrong, only heaven knows, and we haven't found evidence."

Zhou Bai smirked, "According to what you're saying, will we never figure out the truth?"

Christina coughed lightly and stood up somewhat proudly, "Isn't that where I come in? Once I recover all my memories, I will definitely know the answer."

Zhou Bai, "When will you recover? Have you finished practicing Primordial Daoist Text 05? Can you reach the fifth realm before the Daluo Heaven discussion?"

Christina, "Almost there… I should be able to break through to the fifth realm in the next few days."

Zhou Bai sighed, "It's really slow."

Christina reluctantly said, "I'm already practicing fast! Among those who enrolled with us, who can cultivate as quickly as I do? You're just cheating, how can that compare to my earnest cultivation?"

Zhou Bai said, "Alright, alright, keep practicing."

Christina hugged the Cold Light Glacier Sword beside her. This four-realm flying sword was forged by Jijian Pavilion specifically for Zhou Bai and was also the sword diagram Christina had chosen to cultivate in the fourth realm.

She now planned to practice the Star Points first, intending to cultivate the "Primordial Dao Collection 05" later. This way, she could accumulate deeper strength and the cultivation of "Primordial Dao Collection 05" could proceed faster and more efficiently.

...

The night before departing for Central City, at Lin Muqing's home, a dinner was held in honor of Zhou Bai and Qian Wangsun.

Jing Xiu and Lin Muqing had prepared a large table of dishes, and Wanzhen was saying goodbye to Qian Wangsun with a hug.

Nasha, attending the dinner with everyone for the first time, sat silently on the side, unsure of what to say.

Zheng Wentian sat on a chair, covered in cold sweat, his expression looking rather awful.

'Why do they insist on making me go too...'

'I just want to stay in Donghua City and watch the livestream!'

'I don't want to return to Central City.'

However, not only did Zi Yang True Monarch ask him to go back, Ying Hui and Yun Chonghe also demanded Zheng Wentian participate in the Daluo Heaven debate, saying it was to share some of the pressure.

Suddenly, Zheng Wentian bit his teeth, looked at his leg, and thought, "Maybe I should just break a leg? Then I wouldn't have to go back to Central City to compete."

Just as Zheng Wentian was hesitating, Xia Li walked up to Zhou Bai and presented a wrist guard, saying somewhat sheepishly, "Zhou Bai, this is for you. You must do your best in the contest."

Zhou Bai exclaimed, "A wrist guard?"

Zheng Wentian looked over and scoffed, "A second-realm wrist guard? What's the use of that, Zhou Bai's strength is way beyond that."

Xia Li suddenly snatched the wrist guard back, a touch of melancholy in her voice, "Then forget it, bringing this to the Daluo Heaven debate would be embarrassing..."

Xia Li felt a strong sense of loss. Although they were all classmates, Zhou Bai had far surpassed them. Even if she crafted her best magical artifact, it might be of little use in his eyes.

Xia Li shook her lips, disheartened, 'Really... why bother giving him any artifact... it's completely useless.'

But then she saw Zhou Bai smile, snatch back the wrist guard, and say, "It's quite nice, it even shows the time? I do need to keep track of time."

Zheng Wentian interjected, "Don't you have a watch..."

Zhou Bai's Primordial Spirit power surged and instantly silenced Zheng Wentian.

Xia Li, looking down and still embarrassed, said, "This is the second-realm magical artifact I practiced on my own. Your current strength won't need it much, right? I think it's better not to take it to Central City, no one would bring a second-realm artifact to the Daluo Heaven debate, right?"

Zhou Bai replied, "That's okay, magical artifacts are not just about the realm, but also their function. Tell me, what features does it have?"

Xia Li's lips curved slightly, holding back a smile, she explained, "I know you're not lacking a fighting artifact of the second realm, so I added a lot of auxiliary functions to it. It can show the time, determine directions, time things, and has an alarm.

It's defensive power is essentially there to prevent it from being damaged by you, it should be quite durable."

Zhou Bai immediately put on the wrist guard and said with a smile, "Thanks, Xia Li, I really like this."

Jing Xiu hesitated for a moment, then also came forward and presented a box to Zhou Bai, "Brother Zhou, these are the elixirs I recently refined."

She smiled sheepishly, "My current cultivation level can only produce second-realm elixirs at most. After thinking it over, it seems you won't really need them. So I refined some Spirit-Clearing, Vision-Enhancing, and Qi-Nurturing elixirs, and they come in more than ten flavors. You can eat them like candy when hungry."

"I'm sorry, Brother Zhou, I'm not much help, especially with such a grand competition like the Daluo Heaven debate."

Zhou Bai smiled, took the box, and said, "I like this gift a lot, I love sweets. Thank you, Jing Xiu."

Lin Muqing casually tossed a bag over and whispered, "I got this from the Sect Hierarch, you decide how to use it."
