Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 1066 - 1064: Foresight

Upon seeing the Original Cult, Zheng Wentian immediately realized that this Original Cult was likely created by Jing Xiu and the others, possibly even Zhou Bai.

Jing Xiu nodded: "Yuanshi Tianzun was an Immortal from the ancient times who has already perished. Brother Zhou unintentionally received his legacy during the past while communicating with the void using the Nine Disasters of Heaven and Man, which allows him to extract negative emotions from others, refine them into Longevity Dao Fruits, and enhance talents to combat madness..."

This was what Zhou Bai initially told Jing Xiu and the others, making them think that Zhou Bai had received the legacy of Yuanshi Tianzun through the Nine Disasters of Heaven and Man, and had refined the Longevity Dao Fruits.

The Longevity Dao Fruit was a pill that Yuanshi Tianzun used to refine for his disciples. As long as one believes in Yuanshi Tianzun, its effects could enhance one's talent and combat madness.

This is the 'insider information' known to Jing Xiu and the others.

Within the entire base, perhaps only Zhou Bai, Christina, and Elsa knew the truth that Yuanshi Tianzun was actually Zhou Bai.

Besides them, only Qian Wangsun from the human race had seen the information provided by Zhou Bai, knowing that Yuanshi Tianzun was indeed Zhou Bai.

Zheng Wentian listened to Jing Xiu's introduction, feeling half-convinced, especially as the Original Cult appeared too bizarre and eerie.

Jing Xiu smiled and said: "You'll know once you try it, the Longevity Dao Fruit of Yuanshi Tianzun is genuinely effective. Thanks to it, we can cultivate talents on such a large scale."

Zheng Wentian nodded casually, suddenly turning his head to ask a follower, "Jing Xiu, did you hear any sounds?"

Jing Xiu asked in confusion, "Sounds? What sounds?"

The follower smiled calmly and said, "Sir, you must have heard wrong. I haven't heard any sounds."

Zheng Wentian frowned slightly, "Perhaps I misheard."

As the two left, the smile on the follower's face remained unchanged, standing there like a doll.

In his ears, the voice of the nano-mechanical construct softly chanted Zhou Bai's words.

"The great Yuanshi Tianzun watches over you from beyond Daluo Heaven."

"Believe in him, fear him…"

"Yuanshi Tianzun watches over me…"

"Believe in him, fear him, then forget this voice."

...

As Zheng Wentian was touring the school, inside Qian Wangsun's Room of Prevision.

He looked at the projection sent over by Zhou Bai and said casually, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Bai said, "How are the good fortune calculations going? The restrictions of the Lie Constructs are too troublesome, and there are already students who, because of distrust, have exited the state of the Lie Constructs, which means I can no longer extract their corruption."

"I can only temporarily use the abilities of Yu Tu to stabilize their trust, minimizing meeting and talking to people, leaving my words and voice everywhere inside and outside the base, keeping them in the state of the Lie Constructs."

"But handling aberrations inside the Heavenly Deform Sea this way is one thing, for normal people it will eventually become unsustainable."

Qian Wangsun nodded, knowing from the materials on every star point of the Nine Disasters of Heaven and Man given by Zhou Bai how significant the Lie Constructs were, and knowing how difficult the condition of 'trust' was.

Qian Wangsun said blandly: "It's not just ordinary people, but Zuo Dao, Jing Xiu, and the others. They're at the peak of their passion and admiration for you right now.

But as time passes and various issues emerge within the organization, they will surely begin to doubt you, even if it's just a fleeting doubt, it might cause them to exit the state of the Lie Constructs, preventing you from extracting their internal corruption."

Zhou Bai said, "So, have you calculated it or not?"

"I'm not a fortune-teller, this isn't calculation, it's prevision." Qian Wangsun sighed, "Your Nine Disasters of Heaven and Man carry great implications, you know it's not something that can be calculated casually."

Zhou Bai said, "I'm just urging you, let me know once you've calculated it. This is a crucial golden period for development, we can't stop now. If it really doesn't work, I'll have to use my methods."

Watching as Zhou Bai's projection faded, Qian Wangsun sighed softly.

In fact, he had long prevised that using the favor of providence on a certain star point could solve this problem.

But he also prevised how much more dangerous Zhou Bai would become, and how much more likely the world would be destroyed after such an enhancement.

"But if I don't let Zhou Bai solve this problem, and if human development stagnates, or if issues arise within the Original Cult…" Qian Wangsun frowned deeply, sighing in his heart, "then the likelihood of Zhou Bai descending into madness will also increase."

Faced with choices where both sides could potentially fail despite possessing prevision, Qian Wangsun was truly at a loss.

The next moment, he opened his eyes, exiting the state of prevision, looking exhaustedly in the direction of the mechanical construct.

Zhou Bai's projection appeared again, speaking to Qian Wangsun with the exact same words as in the prevision: "How are the good fortune calculations going? The restrictions of the Lie Constructs are too troublesome, and there are already students who, due to distrust…"

Hearing the words he had already heard countless times, Qian Wangsun instinctively looked at his arm, where a blood-red '131' was engraved.

"The 131st prevision, huh?"

Zhou Bai questioned in confusion, "What's wrong? What does this number mean?"

"Nothing." Qian Wangsun said casually, "I've already calculated it, you'll apply the favor of providence to…"

...

Meanwhile, in the school, Jing Xiu continued taking Zheng Wentian on a tour of the school.

Zheng Wentian watched as students were tied to chairs while studying, their expressions of agony made Zheng feel as if this was a form of torment, rather than education.

Jing Xiu explained, "The school is divided into several Immortal Dao classes and Heavenly Demon classes. Immortal Dao classes study Immortal Dao techniques while Heavenly Demon classes study Heavenly Demon techniques. However, Immortal Dao classes only cover the basics, prepared for those who haven't mastered Daoist martial arts upon entering the school…"

Initially, including Jing Xiu, all trainers came from the Dao School, government, or military cultivators, who had years of Daoist training before learning Heavenly Demon techniques, achieving something on the Immortal Dao path.

But as the number of trainers grew, more and more civilians joined, most of whom had never received Immortal Dao education or had any foundation in Daoist techniques, necessitating the school to open Immortal Dao classes to teach them Immortal Dao knowledge first.

The Immortal Dao and Heavenly Demon classes are like the first and second grades of an education system.

After spending about 10 days completing the Immortal Dao class, students then enter the Heavenly Demon class to learn Heavenly Demon knowledge, spending another 7 to 10 days in Heavenly Demon technical training before graduating from the school.
