Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 1054 - 1052: Models and Control

Qian Wangsun sent over some data through mechanical familiars, and Zhou Bai looked at the scene unexpectedly. The way Qian Wangsun used mechanical familiars was so adept, it even gave him the feeling of chatting online in the past, which made him quite sentimental.

Zhou Bai looked at the file name and said in surprise, "The First Spiritual Energy Model Experiment Record?"

Qian Wangsun: "You downloaded a lot of stuff from the Heavenly Demon's database, yet you haven't thoroughly looked over it all yourself?"

Zhou Bai: "I don't have that much time to look through all this data."

As Zhou Bai spoke, he looked at this so-called experiment record, his expression growing more complex on his face, as if he was in pain, angry, helpless...

...

The end of the Homo sapiens era.

Inside an office of a certain research institute.

A middle-aged man stood in front of a desk, speaking reverently, "Supreme Heavenly Venerate, we cannot stop now. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Our spiritual energy model is nearing completion, we've analyzed the Hand Palm Thunder and the spiritual energy model changes. The ninth edition of the model already has a high degree of conformity with data from ten experimenters. If you give us a few more experimenters to continue...

Behind the desk, the Immortal, referred to as Tai Xu, was examining the experimental data, yet his brows remained furrowed.

"Hand Palm Thunder?" He closed his eyes, directly entering the state of Five Qi Facing Origin, and the next moment he opened his eyes, they were full of transcendence; the relationship between Hand Palm Thunder and spiritual energy was already well understood, and he even made a slight progress in the Way of Thunder.

But... that's all. Similar insights happen almost daily to immortals and gods who have attained the position of Five Qi.

The Supreme Heavenly Venerate shook his head, "You all spent so many years, used so many people, just to get an answer I can deduce in a thought? Stop it, this kind of thing is meaningless."

The middle-aged man said, "No, it's not. Even though understanding the Heavenly Dao is quick, it's hard to inductively summarize.

If we could use mathematical methods to study the real spiritual dynamics, discovering the relevant formulas for the rise and fall of spiritual energy, we might enable any mundane person to use Hand Palm Thunder, or even any Taoist arts, even if they can't cultivate! And not even comprehend the Heavenly Dao."

The middle-aged man said excitedly with eyebrows flying, "Perhaps in the future ordinary people won't need the process of comprehending the Heavenly Dao, they just need to learn from textbooks, using some tools, to perform various Taoist arts."

Listening to the middle-aged man's words, the Supreme Heavenly Venerate's expression grew increasingly cold, "Ridiculous."

"If everyone were able to wield Taoist arts at will, wouldn't it cause chaos, a breakdown of social hierarchy? The world would be full of turmoil."

"This is a wicked art that sows chaos in the world and undermines the foundation of the human race. Immediately cease all your experiments and stop this research."

Watching the middle-aged man's disappointed back as he left, a hint of killing intent gradually flashed in the Supreme Heavenly Venerate's eyes.

...

After reading all the various records in the file, Zhou Bai sighed, "I didn't expect that there were people in the past who had thoughts similar to ours."

Qian Wangsun: "But they were blocked by the immortals of the previous generation of the Celestial Court."

Zhou Bai: "That's to be expected. In terms of comprehending the Heavenly Dao, the immortals and gods have always been authoritative, holding absolute advantage.

If the Heavenly Dao was really explained scientifically, if science was elevated by the Heavenly Dao and made universal and mass-produced,

to the immortals and gods, it would just mean understanding a bit more about something they could already do.

But it would be handing over the primary productivity, originally only in their hands, to all intelligent beings, unveiling that layer of mystery and authority on them."

"Such a self-cutting, revolutionizing act, most immortals and gods probably wouldn't be able to undertake it."

"So what we're doing now is inherently opposed to the immortals and gods, destined to become mortal enemies."

Zhou Bai sighed and shook his head, "Is this information useful to you?"

Qian Wangsun said, "The spiritual energy model they created is already nearing perfection. I want to complete it entirely. Then we'll see its effect on the restoration of the Human Emperor Sword."

...

The third layer of Supreme Heaven, within Yuqing Heaven.

The space in front seemed like an ordinary hall.

Except that the boundless void within the walls indicated the extraordinariness of this place.

In this most secretive space within Supreme Heaven, the Golden Mother Primordial Lord was leading Li Zhengdao and Li Tai toward the center of the hall.

An immortal appeared in front of them, asking in confusion, "Primordial Lord... what's this?"

The Golden Mother Primordial Lord said casually, "Teacher Tai Xu, we have some business to attend to, please let us pass."

The Supreme Heavenly Venerate looked at Li Tai, reminding, "Is it really okay to let him in?"

The Golden Mother Primordial Lord smiled, "It's fine. Everything is under my control."

Beside him, Li Tai's voice transmission rang in Li Zhengdao's ear, "Remember Tai Xu Immortal? Our teacher from the Homo sapiens era, who taught us Taoist arts."

Li Zhengdao transmitted back, "How much strength has he recovered?"

Li Tai's voice transmitted back, "Of course it's the position of Creation, otherwise he wouldn't be guarding the previous God Emperor."

The three of them passed the position of Tai Xu Immortal and continued toward the center of the hall, only to find that as the space distorted, a giant tree over a hundred meters tall appeared before them.

The giant tree seemed humanoid, its trunk adorned with leaves that resembled hands, its trunks wrapping and holding the tree body like arms.

This distorted, insane corpse in front of them was precisely the body of the previous God Emperor.

And at the center of the trunk, a blood-red palm print emitted eerie energy, the very palm imprinted on the chest of the previous God Emperor over five hundred years ago by the Demon Saint.

Since the twisting of the Heavenly Dao, the body of the previous God Emperor, unoccupied, started to deform, gradually turning into this non-human form. Only the Demon Saint's palm print remained clear and unaffected by erosion.

The Golden Mother Primordial Lord asked, "How is it? Can it be done?"

Li Zhengdao nodded, "It should be no problem." He looked at the body of the previous God Emperor with some excitement, thinking that if he controlled this corpse, he could master all three realms of Supreme Heaven, even grasp part of the previous God Emperor's power.

In that case, under the name of the previous God Emperor, he could command the entire Supreme Heaven, and not even the Supreme Heavenly Venerate within the Triple Supreme Heaven could defeat him, as he could drive the opponent out at any time.

In the days that followed, Li Zhengdao began setting up the ritual and executing Taoist arts within Yuqing Heaven.

The Golden Mother Primordial Lord and Li Tai watched the whole process from the side,

Three days later, Li Zhengdao was sitting cross-legged in front of the giant tree, his hands forming Taoist seals, his mouth uttering unintelligible whispers.

And as he whispered, the palm print at the center of the giant tree was becoming fainter and fainter, now seemingly just a thin shadow.

As the palm print faded, the giant tree-former body of the previous God Emperor began to tremble, faces appeared on the trunk, mouths agape in silent screams, as if they wanted to come to life again.
