Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 1045 - 1043: Healing

Dutian Great Spirit Officer sneered, "Zhou Bai, you merely obtained a powerful Immortal Dao inheritance, that's why you can contend with the immortals and gods.

"You're clearly using Dao techniques yourself, relying on Immortal Dao to oppose Immortal Dao, yet you're shamelessly developing hybrids, developing the way of the intelligent people."

"I see you as nothing but an ambitious figure who wants to control all hybrids by wielding the strongest power."

Zhou Bai laughed heartily, speaking wildly, "Immortal Dao technology or intelligent people's technology, the power of the Heavenly Demon—all of these will be developed in the future human world. We'll use whichever is useful. But while Immortal Dao technology may remain, you immortals and gods need not."

Filled with disdain, Dutian Great Spirit Officer remarked that the Heavenly Dao already encompassed all the mysteries of the universe. By comprehending the Heavenly Dao, one could understand the workings of all things and create countless miracles... The Spiritual People had long been accustomed to this.

In comparison, intelligent people's technology was far inferior in both efficiency and potential compared to the Immortal Dao.

Great Spirit Officer: "Ignorant fool... Cherish your last days."

Zhou Bai laughed maniacally, "Old ghost! Are you running away?"

Dutian Great Spirit Officer replied coldly, "Run? You can think of it that way if you like. I have countless opportunities to start over, whereas you will be finished with just one failure."

In the next moment, Dutian Great Spirit Officer's voice had completely vanished, and Zhou Bai did not immediately exit the state of Frenzy Calamity. Instead, he manipulated Zuo Dao's body to grab his own and rapidly flew towards Donghua City.

Secretly regretting, Zhou Bai thought, "If I could have the Dutian Great Spirit Officer hit me a bit longer, I feel like I would level up."

Christina transformed only for a moment this time. After reverting, she could barely maintain her consciousness.

Weakly, she said, "Level up again? If we continue fighting, we'll really have to fight for our lives. It's too dangerous. Immortals with 190% Dao transformation are simply not something we can contend with right now."

Zhou Bai nodded, "I admit I took a gamble on this trip, but in the end, it paid off. We gained time and had no casualties."

After returning to Donghua City, Zhou Bai and Jiaojiao discussed the situation and temporarily let the city leaders stabilize public morale.

He himself took Zuo Dao and flew towards his Heavenly Demon base.

...

On the other side, Ming Yue, Slayer of Ghosts, and other Immortals observed the entire battle and its developments, then joined Dutian Great Spirit Officer above Central City.

Dutian Great Spirit Officer released the Miluo Heavenly Palace he had collected. As for Si Yi Heavenly Lord and the others inside, they were already imprisoned within his Luotian Realm.

After returning to the heavenly palace, the Great Spirit Officer greeted everyone and then left the Immortals to directly seclude himself to heal.

During the whole fight, the Immortals did not intervene. Firstly, because they did not fully trust Dutian Great Spirit Officer, and secondly, Zhou Bai's strength was genuinely formidable. Had they intervened, they might have been seriously injured.

Moreover, they believed in Dutian Great Spirit Officer's strength with a 190% Dao transformation. Even without their help, he should have been able to suppress Zhou Bai.

But the outcome of the battle surprised them—Dutian Great Spirit Officer was actually forced to retreat.

Despite being surprised by the result, everyone knew that in a real test of strength, Zhou Bai was not truly a match for Dutian Great Spirit Officer.

Slayer of Ghosts sighed, "At the start, Zhou Bai was sent here using the Luotian Teleportation technique. The first strike weapon he used was the Stabilizing Sea Divine Iron, which suggests that Xiang Tiandi and the others have allied with them."

Immortal Dao An analyzed, "The initial ambush damaged the Great Spirit Officer's Divine Body. He probably feared the presence of the God Emperor or others and was unwilling to take further risks, so he temporarily withdrew."

Wei He's master, Xuantian Immortal Lord, judged, "A cautious choice. Once the Great Spirit Officer heals his injuries, capturing Zhou Bai will be just a matter of time, especially since the Supreme Heaven is about to open, and the past Heavenly Court is about to return."

At this point, many Immortals present became excited and tense.

The Heavenly Court had been weakened in the Material World for too long, demon pollution of bloodlines, legitimate gods scheming in secret—the revival of the human clan and the Heavenly Court had been long awaited but never realized. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

But the return of the previous Heavenly Court brought them great hope.

However, after five hundred years, what state is the previous Heavenly Court in now? What about the status of the Immortals? How vast is the power gap between them? What attitude does the current ruler, Golden Mother Primordial Lord, have towards them? These unknowns filled them with apprehension.

On the side, Ming Yue was continuously pondering Zhou Bai's words, but she herself knew almost nothing about intelligent people.

After the Immortals left, she proactively sought out Immortal Dao An to inquire about intelligent people.

Immortal Dao An had previously told her that intelligent people are a type of demon, evolved demon species that stole Dao Techniques.

Wei He followed Ming Yue closely, and when she looked back at him, he immediately said, "If you don't want me to hear, I'll wait for you outside."

Ming Yue looked at him, sighed, "Do as you wish, follow if you want."

Watching Ming Yue's retreating figure, Wei He paused, then couldn't help but smile with excitement, thinking, 'Ming Yue is giving me a chance...'

After hearing Ming Yue's question, Immortal Dao An pondered for a while and said slowly, "This matter is from too long ago, and few people know about it now. Why are you asking about it?"

Ming Yue calmly replied, "Isn't Zhou Bai an intelligent person? He wants to avenge them and revive their techniques. As his enemy, I naturally ought to know what intelligent people are about."

Immortal Dao An said, "The Heavenly Demons were created by intelligent people. All Heavenly Demon technology can be seen as an extension and expansion of intelligent people's technology..."

"... We, by progressing step by step in Dao transformation, comprehending the Heavenly Dao, can understand the workings and mysteries of the entire world, learning or creating countless Dao Techniques."

"Intelligent people's technology is based on extensive observation, experimentation, and calculation, which is thousands of times slower than our comprehension of the Heavenly Dao. So, despite developing for many years, they never caught up with a mere fraction of us."

"However, some ideas involving ordinary people, leading them, have some merit."

Listening to Immortal Dao An's account, Ming Yue grew increasingly fascinated by the intelligent race, as she could not imagine that this demon-originated species had forged a path different from both demons and immortals.

"... Later, to improve the environment and make the entire planet more suited for cultivating the Dao, the Heavenly Court collaborated with some human race cultivators to adjust the spiritual energy levels, leading to the death of ninety-nine percent of the intelligent people at that time, probably amounting to billions."

Ming Yue exhaled deeply, surprised, "Billions of people died?"

Beside her, Wei He also showed an expression of shock.
