Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 1043 - 1041: Taking It Back

"Once upon a time on this planet, even a mere mortal could traverse thousands of miles, communicating freely."

"Once upon a time on this planet, even without the power of the Primordial Spirit, we exchanged countless pieces of information every second."

"Even without Immortal Artifacts, mortals could wield weapons capable of destroying the heavens and earth."

"Even without Dao techniques, mortals could be healed of various grievous diseases and injuries."

"Through knowledge, without the assistance of celestial beings, mortals could possess an abundance of food."

As Zhou Bai spoke, the world within the Heart Demon Illusion rapidly transformed, depicting mortals using computers and networks for work and communication.

The skies and the ground were filled with various advanced means of transportation.

Nuclear tests unfolded one by one, ailing patients were healed by doctors, and under the development of agriculture, the food problem for mortals was continuously solved.

Zuo Dao sensed the changes in the Heart Demon Illusion and softly asked, "Are all these true?"

"Zuo Dao, you have witnessed the technologies of the Heavenly Demon. They can transform into any form, heal mortals of any disability or disease, and communicate freely across billions of miles..."

"They can soar to the heavens and dive into the sea, even travel to other worlds, flying among the stars..."

"And the technologies of the Heavenly Demon were originally created by that species called humans, without relying on any Dao techniques."

Dutian Great Spirit Officer said indifferently, "So what? I have studied the so-called Heavenly Demons, they may have some wonders, but I can single-handedly suppress them entirely; they are too weak."

"As for humans, they are even more powerless."

As the words of Dutian Great Spirit Officer fell, an Immortal descended fiercely within the Heart Demon Illusion, directly defeating the whole of human society and all Heavenly Demon technologies.

Zhou Bai coldly asked, "Did you participate in the extermination of the humans back then?"

"That's right, hence I know how weak humans truly are," Dutian Great Spirit Officer said indifferently, "I heard from Li Zhengdao that you are also a descendant of humans. Do you not know that your ancestors have already failed on this erroneous path?"

Zhou Bai's tone instantly turned icy, his eyes carrying a trace of killing intent, "You truly deserve to die."

"Do you intend to avenge humans?" Dutian Great Spirit Officer chuckled lightly, "Humans' development has no future, you as one of their descendants have ultimately chosen the path of cultivation, have you not?"

Zhou Bai: "How many years have you developed? How many years have Heavenly Demons and humans' technology developed?

The things you can accomplish indicate that they are phenomena that can happen in this universe, then Heavenly Demons and humans' technology will one day reach them.

They will continuously improve, just give them time, and they will one day surpass you..."

"One day, they will be able to change the heavens and earth, capture the sun and the moon, and master space..."

As Zhou Bai spoke, a multitude of future visions, various information regarding Zhou Bai, were being transmitted through his Primordial Spirit.

And the scene in front shifted again, mortals were already wearing mechas, driving battleships, rushing towards the Immortal.

"Humans will invent space-bending bombs, will have battleships surpassing the speed of light, they can create artificial black holes, transform entire galaxy into a painting, push stars, and manufacture droplets harder than Immortal Artifacts..."

"Before that occurs, I will protect them."

Then the scene showed Zhou Bai leading the mortals to kill the Immortal, after which mortals began transforming planets, capturing suns, traversing star seas...

Dutian Great Spirit Officer laughed at the sight, "Arrogant, absurd, utterly senseless."

Zuo Dao murmured, "Zhou Bai, are these really achievable?"

Zhou Bai affirmed, "One day it can be achieved, whether mixed blood, pure blood, humans, demons, even without Immortal Dao, the world remains this world, and there must be other ways to utilize the rules of this world, master the resources of this world."

"Through years of development, Heavenly Demons have elevated past human technology to the level of myth."

"Though Demon Saints are demons and cannot cultivate, did they not defeat the heavens, even warp the Heavenly Dao?"

"And there are Spiritual People beyond heaven, whose Immortal Dao technology was developed step by step."

As Zhou Bai spoke, he transmitted vast amounts of intelligence to Zuo Dao using Primordial Spirit.

Zhou Bai: "Be it Immortal Dao or Heavenly Demon technology, as long as this world continues to operate, humanity will always find ways to strengthen."

"Incredible," Zuo Dao perused the intelligence transmitted by Zhou Bai through Primordial Spirit, slightly shook his head, and sighed, "What you speak of, I find hard to believe myself. However..."

"I still trust you."

With the change of Zuo Dao's Dao Heart, a thunderous roar sounded within his sea of consciousness, and the Heart Demon Illusion abruptly shattered.

Dutian Great Spirit Officer frowned, knowing that the Heart Demon Illusion was meant to attack and magnify heart demon flaws, thereby subjugating the opponent's consciousness. The correctness of both parties' argumentation was not important; the key was whether the attacked could overcome their heart demon.

Evidently, with Zhou Bai's assistance, Zuo Dao overcame the flaw within his heart.

The crux was not how much sense Zhou Bai's words made, but Zuo Dao's trust in him. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Relied on trust to quell fear and confusion? No... It's more arrogance than trust." He shook his head, "Countless years have passed, yet mortals' arrogance has not changed at all, perhaps this is indeed the fearlessness of the ignorant..."

He seemed to recall the countless mortals over the ages who, at a young age, confidently believed they would become Immortals or deities, yet ultimately most became dust.

And just as the Heart Demon Illusion shattered, a surge of vitality exploded from within Zuo Dao's body.

Besides attacking consciousness and suppressing native intelligence, Dutian Great Spirit Officer's Nightmare Demon Heart Snatching Technique also served to refine one's mental heart and hone the Dao Heart.

At this moment, with Zhou Bai's help, Zuo Dao broke through the Heart Demon Illusion, his Dao Heart instantly stabilized, and even his extent of Dao Transformation and contamination within his heart were fully suppressed by his Dao Heart.

Simultaneously, with the strengthening of Dao Heart, Zuo Dao's mastery over the Xu Mi Miao Gao Dharma Body reached a deeper level, instantaneously unleashing the power of both mountain and sea.

"Good!" Zhou Bai laughed heartily, "Zuo Dao Armor! Quickly equip it!"

Zhou Bai and Christina rushed into Zuo Dao's sea of consciousness, and Zuo Dao did not resist at all, allowing Zhou Bai to adeptly command the power of Three Mountains and Three Seas, Christina transformed directly, also mastering Three Mountains and Three Seas while leaving the remaining mountain and sea for Zuo Dao to control.

At this moment, taking advantage of Zuo Dao and Zhou Bai's brief pause, Dutian Great Spirit Officer directly deployed the technique of dividing realms, seeking to seal Zuo Dao and Zhou Bai together.

Simultaneously, thirty-six Void Palm Seals each held different Dao techniques, collectively striking towards Zhou Bai, aiming to prevent their premature escape.

Facing the oncoming Void Palm Seals, Zhou Bai would not yield, the power of Seven Mountains and Seven Seas within his body erupted, complemented by the calamity force of the Mixed Element Star Constellation Calamity in the augmentation of the Nine Heavenly Disasters, he punched forward, fiercely colliding with the thirty-six Void Palm Seals.

Amidst earth-shattering explosions, the entire sea surface was pressed down by the air waves.

Millions of tons of sea water soared into the sky, transforming into a storm accompanied by the airflow.

And the terrifying force contained within Zhou Bai's punch reverberated along the materialized Primordial Spirit power.

The Dutian Great Spirit Officer, previously heavily injured, trembled further, his injuries seemingly worsened.
