Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 1068 - 1066: Weapons

"It's this Void Dao Palace again."

"I remember last time you said this Void Dao Palace governs the void, and there are 72 Dao Ancestors?"

Zhou Bai murmured, "An existence like the void, can anyone really govern it? But now the void looks like it's not managed by anyone at all."

At this moment, Zhou Bai turned his head and saw Christina staring blankly at the original Daoist scriptures.

Zhou Bai said, "Tina, why are you daydreaming again? Your attitude towards cultivation has been a bit lacking recently. Where's that diligent little kitty from before?"

Christina turned her head, looked at Zhou Bai, and said, "Zhou Bai... I'm a bit scared."

Seeing Christina's somewhat frightened look, Zhou Bai patted her on the head and curiously asked, "What's wrong? With me covering for you, what are you afraid of?"

Christina replied, "Recently, after envisioning the original Daoist scripture 08, with the increase in Daoization, I feel like something is about to come back to me. It seems that after remembering that, my memories might keep recovering more and more."

Zhou Bai laughed, "Isn't that a good thing?"

Christina, however, said, "From waking up until now, it's only been three years. Only these three years of memory are clear to me and are truly mine." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"But if I really am the Ancient Demon, and if I really have memories spanning thousands or tens of thousands of years, would I still be me after those memories resurface?"

"Or would my past self replace my current self?"

Zhou Bai said, "You'll still be you, only the significance of these past three years' memories will become negligible... but your personality will indeed greatly change. You won't be that foolish anymore."

Christina huffed angrily, curled up on the bed leaving only her back to Zhou Bai.

Zhou Bai said, "Then take a rest, don't push yourself."

Christina said, "Zhou Bai, have you ever thought that the current me is essentially a reincarnation? If I remember my past life's memories, it would be equivalent to being possessed by the person from my past life."

Christina recalled changes after her transformation, where she became cold and rational, like a completely different person, and sighed, "Under the flood of those thousands or tens of thousands of years of memories, my current personality simply can't continue to exist."

Zhou Bai stroked the cat and said, "If you're not comfortable with it, just don't envision the original Daoist scriptures."

Christina turned her head, "Is that really okay? If I can't progress in strength or recover my memory, then I can't be of much help."

"It's not like there's much help you can offer now anyway," Zhou Bai said casually. "With our current battle power being so sufficient, just focus on your promising job as a pet cat."

Christina snorted angrily and turned her face away again.

Zhou Bai got up and walked outside, saying casually, "If you really feel there's danger, then stop cultivating. I heard Zheng Wentian is here; I'll go meet him."

…

On the other side, Zheng Wentian followed Jing Xiu to the weapons testing range, where Xia Li approached them, "Jing Xiu, you've brought Zheng Wentian over? Good timing, we're testing the weapon's power, so join us and take a look."

Zheng Wentian stared at Xia Li and suddenly said, "Xia Li, you've reached the eighth realm?"

Xia Li nodded nonchalantly, "Yeah, but I'm just a makeshift eighth realm, only climbed up by reading Daoist scriptures, without cultivating the Divine Diagram or many Daoist arts."

Jing Xiu, standing on the side, said, "Zheng Wentian, after you consume the Longevity Dao Fruit, you can casually read the Daoist scriptures every day without worrying about abnormalities, and you'll quickly advance."

"Furthermore, according to Zuo Dao's research, they believe the celestial system was originally meant to have no threshold, allowing everyone to upgrade by comprehending the Heavenly Dao."

Zhou Bai's Heavenly Nine Disasters and the human-created original Daoist scriptures bestowed Zhou Bai with an incredibly swift breaching speed.

If all the original Daoist scriptures were laid before Zhou Bai, he could instantly advance from the 0th to the 10th realm.

And when Zhou Bai shared part of his plugin abilities with his companions, their advancement speed also increased rapidly.

Zheng Wentian looked complexly at Xia Li, whose eighth realm cultivation shocked him more than any batch-produced first realm cultivators.

Seeing such a previously low-level cultivator, whom he had far surpassed, now surpass him, Zheng Wentian couldn't help but feel upset.

Zheng Wentian couldn't help but say, "This cultivation seems too easy to attain."

Jing Xiu shook his head and said, "Not easy at all, we are merely standing on the shoulders of giants. The Daoist scriptures painstakingly developed by our predecessors cost untold effort, energy, and even lives to achieve progress."

"The fact we can now improve our realms by referencing Daoist scriptures is all thanks to their contributions."

Jing Xiu smiled, "The things we work hard to create now will certainly bring convenience to future generations. This is the inheritance of human civilization, each generation more advanced than the last. Unlike the eternally stagnant societies led by immortals and gods."

As an old-school celestial cultivator, Zheng Wentian couldn't help but let thoughts like 'this isn't a real cultivator', 'a real cultivator is forged through years of diligent training', 'these quickly made, hollow cultivators have lower combat power than what we gained through hard training'...

These thoughts continued to surface in Zheng Wentian's mind, causing his expression to change continuously.

The group of three then came to the testing ground and saw the distant mountaintop leveled under the bombardment of electromagnetic cannons, plasma cannons, missiles, and other Heavenly Demon weapons.

Watching the rising smoke and dust, and the devastated land, Zheng Wentian had to admit that for large-scale destructive power, mass-produced Heavenly Demon technology was indeed stronger.

Especially seeing that the operators of the bombardment were only some first realm cultivators, Zheng Wentian couldn't help but feel emotional.

'First realm cultivators, just by using these weapons, can wield such earth-shattering, god-like destructive power?'

Jing Xiu sighed beside him, "The universality and mass-production capacity of Heavenly Demon technology allows ordinary folks to wield god-slaying power."

Zheng Wentian shook his head, "But no matter how strong the firepower, it's limited against immortals and gods, right? They have too many ways to counter such firepower."

Xia Li said, "These are just Heavenly Demon weapons made with Heavenly Demon technology. In fact, the destructive power of these weapons is already excessive.

Just give us some time, and we can completely bombard the whole planet. Dealing with living beings doesn't require such powerful weapons; confronting immortals requires targeted approach, combining celestial and Heavenly Nine Disasters technologies, rather than purely pursuing destructive power."
