Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 1035 - 1033: Cooperation and the Future

Zhou Bai furrowed his brow. According to Dr. Zhuang, there are a total of nine Ancient Demons, and Zhou Bai currently knows about the Demon Saint, Christina, and the Zhu Long in front of him. Additionally, he is unsure whether Bai Ze can be considered one of them.

'Which Ancient Demon integrated the cannibalistic instinct into the bloodline of all demons?'

Qian Wangsun, standing nearby, said, "We can discuss who added the cannibalistic instinct to the demon bloodline later. The important thing is that as long as we find a method, we can certainly remove the cannibalistic instinct from the demon bloodline. In that case, the Mixed Blood Humans awakening the demon bloodline shouldn't be a problem anymore, right?"

"Zhou Bai, this is the basis of our cooperation. In fact, I had already convinced Zhu Long before you came."

"Zhu Long, you wish to revive the demons, hoping that the current Mixed Blood Humans can undergo a widespread awakening of their demon bloodline. To achieve this, it requires the cooperation of all humans, and now the cannibalistic instinct of the demons has become a hindrance. If we remove this instinct, perhaps in the future, all Mixed Blood Humans will awaken their demon bloodline."

"Zhou Bai, your biggest concern about awakening the demon bloodline is the cannibalistic instinct. Would you accept demons if the cannibalistic instinct were removed?"

"And with all the technology I can foresee, at most I can suppress the proportion of awakened cannibalistic instincts to below 0.3%. Compared to that, directly removing the demon instinct is a better option for me."

Qian Wangsun spread his hands, looking at the person and the dragon in front of him: "From the aforementioned, regardless of what our ultimate goal will be in the future, at least presently, removing the cannibalistic instinct from the demon bloodline can be our common goal."

"Demons without cannibalistic instinct?" Zhou Bai scratched his head, thinking of Christina and how after awakening, one could have both human and demon forms. He nodded: "If the cannibalistic instinct can be removed, it would indeed be a good thing."

Zhu Long said in a deep voice, "Anyway, all humans across the world are already mixed blood, eating each other means eating our own kind, and indeed, the cannibalistic instinct has become an obstacle for promoting demon bloodline awakening. Removing it is not impossible."

Qian Wangsun laughed: "In that case, are we temporarily allied now? Zhou Bai, I know what you want to ask."

He looked at Zhu Long: "Zhu Long, do you suspect the cannibalistic instinct was created by the Demon Saint or Bai Ze?"

Zhu Long: "...Your way of conversing is really as annoying as Bai Ze."

Qian Wangsun chuckled helplessly: "Then I won't say anything, you go ahead."

Zhu Long: "The Demon Saint is the first demon to awaken in the world, the source of the demon bloodline. If anyone can change the inheritance within the demon bloodline, the first one I'd think of is him."

"As for Bai Ze... he is one of the nine Ancient Demons, besides the Demon Saint, who has the deepest research on the demon bloodline. The method employed by the current immortals in the Heaven Court of merging demon bodies with Divine Bodies had contributions from him initially.

Coupled with his ability to perceive the future, he likely had the ability in the past to integrate the cannibalistic instinct into the demon bloodline."

"The future can only have one... Bai Ze bloodline holder, with only one awakening each era, otherwise with mutual influence, foreknowledge abilities would be nullified." Qian Wangsun: "As far as I know, Bai Ze should already be dead."

Zhu Long: "Absolutely not, Bai Ze has definitely not died."

Qian Wangsun: "If he hasn't died, then it wouldn't be possible for me to activate abilities to perceive the future."

Zhu Long: "Then maybe he voluntarily gave up his ability to perceive the future."

Qian Wangsun asked with surprise: "Why?"

Zhu Long seemed to recall a scene from the past, slowly saying, "Bai Ze once said that perceiving the future is a convenience yet also a constraint."

Qian Wangsun pondered: "I'll try to confirm this then..."

The two and the dragon discussed how to cooperate, how to remove the cannibalistic instinct from the demons, and shortly after their discussion, Zuo Dao connected with Zhou Bai via a mechanical familiar and the Quantum Communication Network.

Zhou Bai: "Donghua City is attacked by immortals and gods, I need to go back."

Seeing Zhou Bai turn to leave immediately, Qian Wangsun said: "Give me a mechanical familiar, so we can keep in touch anytime."

Zhou Bai smirked: "You really do know everything…" He casually summoned a palm-sized mechanical familiar and tossed it to Qian Wangsun before flying toward Donghua City.

Qian Wangsun, watching Zhou Bai's departure, frowned: "Things seem not so simple, I need to go back too."

Qian Wangsun turned around, leaping into Zhu Long's deep and bottomless dragon mouth.

And Zhu Long swallowed Qian Wangsun whole, the entire dragon's head retracted back into the ice layer. As the blizzard surged, the infinite snow and wind enveloped the entire valley again, soon burying Zhu Long deeper within the iceberg.

After entering Zhu Long's mouth, Qian Wangsun seemed to arrive at an incredibly vast space. Illuminated by the fire spark of Daoist arts, the massive dragon tongue appeared like a huge plain before him, with glimpses of a building complex visible in the distance.

Arriving at the building complex, other members of the Sky Flipping Sect were already waiting here.

Annie, seeing Qian Wangsun, said: "How did it go?"

Qian Wangsun: "We've temporarily reached a collaboration with Zhou Bai, but Donghua City was attacked by immortals and gods, which feels somewhat off... I need to calculate it."

Qian Wangsun entered a long corridor, passing through seven layers of defenses including bloodline verification, memory verification, Primordial Spirit verification, and finally arrived at a grand hall.

As Qian Wangsun entered, faint green runes flickered, and a mirror of ten meters high encircled the entire hall.

The circular mirror reflected infinitely, showcasing countless mirror images as if turning the scene into a true mirrored world.

This was his latest achievement, combining twisted weapons with his foreknowledge abilities, refined through generations.

Inside the mirror were rows upon rows of seemingly endless Qian Wangsun figures, like they were in a mirror world, standing, sitting, or lying down. At this moment, their ghostly eyes all turned to Qian Wangsun, the eerie whispers echoing in the air.

"Enter here, Qian Wangsun."

"You will gain infinite wisdom."

"We are the reality; the world you inhabit is merely an illusion."

"Don't get lost in the mirror world; we're the real world here."

In a daze, Qian Wangsun felt as if he was in the mirror world. On the other side of the mirror, Annie, Zhou Bai, the elder, Ying Hui, and Lu Wanzhen were all calling to him, urging him to come out quickly.

A flash of confusion appeared in Qian Wangsun's eyes. In the next moment, he held his head and said coldly: "I will enter, but not today."

Quiet laughter sounded, and Qian Wangsun seemed to hear countless voices of himself surfacing in his mind, making it difficult to discern which was his own thought and which was a side effect of the twisted weapon.

"Countless futures, endless information, I've become lost within them."

"Am I in the foreseen future? Or in reality?"

"Have I truly... awakened?"

"If I foresee within a foreseen future, amidst repeated bewilderments, I might never awaken."

"Which are my thoughts?"

"Which is the real me?"

Amidst voices in his mind, either true or false, Qian Wangsun slowly walked to the central position of the grand hall and sat down. He took out the mechanical familiar Zhou Bai had given him and calmly said: "I need to know the outcome of this battle."
