Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 1143 - 1141: Progress

Inside the school managed by Jing Xiu.

Exclamations continued to erupt in the classroom.

"Accelerate, accelerate, accelerate more, I can handle a faster teaching speed."

"So simple, how did I not think of this before."

"I've broken through the first realm!"

The teaching videos in front of each student sped up as if flying, flashing dozens or hundreds of frames per second before their eyes, yet they could still watch with great interest and understand clearly.

At this moment, everyone's aptitude increased to an unprecedented level.

Elsa looked confused: "What the hell."

In the weapon development department managed by Xia Li, the practitioners' hands manipulated the Heavenly Demon terminal like phantoms, with different design drawings, plans, and research flashing rapidly on the screen. They handled all the work as if time had been accelerated.

Exclamations erupted from the designers, with breakthroughs in previously perplexing projects, unsolvable results, or never-learned knowledge.

And the practitioners who had mastered hundreds of refining techniques and could replicate material structures to create various magical artifacts also saw their aptitudes greatly increased. The speed and quality of replication improved significantly.

They even felt that if they worked a bit harder, they could break through their realms, replicating more powerful artifacts or more complex structures.

In the management department of the Interstellar Immigration Plan, the efficiency of all staff greatly increased not only in the industrial design and manufacture of spacecraft but also in personnel deployment, management, coordination, and administrative work.

Since Zhou Bai began the Ugly Tribulation, the aptitudes of millions of human dependents have undergone a qualitative enhancement, with almost everyone surpassing past super geniuses. Various Heavenly Demon knowledge was understood at a glance, and Daoist techniques and martial arts became proficient upon learning.

From thought to action, from concept to cognition, the entire human society seemed to be accelerated like a rocket, advancing at a speed surpassing any historical development limit toward an unpredictable future.

That evening, Elsa ran home crying and shouted while hugging Zhou Bai's leg: "Zhou Bai, I don't want to go to class anymore!"

Zhou Bai asked, "Why?"

Elsa angrily said, "I feel like an idiot! I was the last in the morning, but by the afternoon, my classmates all graduated! I'm the only one still in school!"

...

In just six hours, Qian Wangsun somewhat emotionally reported the monitoring results and his deductions to Zhou Bai.

"Everyone's aptitude among human dependents has been enhanced, and no side effects have been found so far."

"At this rate, I'm afraid everyone could become practitioners of the third or even fourth realm in the future."

"Most people's creativity and imagination have improved, adapting to Heavenly Demon technology more quickly. As long as we have enough time, we can integrate Heavenly Demon, Immortal Dao, Demon, and Aberration technology, then rapidly advance forward."

"This is an intelligence explosion, a super energy mutation... The structure of society and human values will undergo changes completely different from any past history."

Saying this, Qian Wangsun exhaled with some regret: "Unfortunately, the time we have is too little, two months is really too short. If we had a bit more time..."

Zhou Bai asked, "Still not enough?"

"Not the opponent of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate." Qian Wangsun shook his head, muttering: "There's a problem... there must be something we've overlooked."

Zhou Bai said: "I can open the Ugly Tribulation for 6 hours a day, and it needs rest until the next day to be opened again. Inform them, let them arrange their time daily."

In the following every moment, the whole of humanity and society continues to break through and advance rapidly, time passing by in the blink of an eye. Soon, the opening of the Supreme Heaven is approaching closer and closer.

...

Within a strong electromagnetic confinement device crafted by ten million Heavenly Demons over twelve days at great cost.

Xiang Tiandi sat cross-legged, wrapped in thunder as tangible as reality.

Above Xiang Tiandi's head, Zhou Bai, using energy transformed from the Heavenly God Emperor's tribulation body, continuously generated currents into his divine body.

Electric power sufficient for humanity for hundreds or thousands of years is constantly bursting open in Xiang Tiandi's divine body.

In the past two months, Xiang Tiandi first swallowed the Longevity Dao Fruit, improving his unparalleled aptitude once again.

Then he obtained the "Purple Mansion Secret Scroll" from Dr. Zhuang, a set of Daoist techniques created by spiritual people from beyond for the Heavenly Yan Beasts, helping Xiang Tiandi purify the bloodline of spiritual people, merging his demon body and divine body.

Then he began to hit the Dao Ancestor realm under the full guidance of the Heavenly God Emperor.

Throughout this process, there was also Qian Wangsun constantly predicting the future, informing them of cultivation results, making continuous adjustments and corrections.

In two months, Xiang Tiandi's realm can be said to have advanced by leaps and bounds, making rapid progress.

Qian Wangsun watched the progress through monitoring and asked: "Why is it that, besides Xiang Tiandi, others can't do it?"

The tribulation body of the Heavenly God Emperor, standing not far from Xiang Tiandi, said: "I don't know. I succeeded in breaking through the Dao Ancestor realm under the guidance of the Demon Saint."

"Speaking of the key, it's nothing more than gaining the recognition of the Heavenly Dao."

"But exactly how to gain recognition, what conditions the practitioner must meet, for example reaching what realm, cultivating what Daoist techniques, comprehending what profundities, I can't be entirely sure."

"And even for Xiang Tiandi, I just feel he has the best hope among this batch of immortals and gods, not necessarily it must be him."

While the two talked, they saw Xiang Tiandi's body gradually begin to crack and shatter, turning into streams of thunder, roaring back and forth within the electromagnetic field.

If there weren't the magnetic field's restraint, the thunder that Xiang Tiandi turned into would undoubtedly explode and disperse between heaven and earth in the first instant.

However, assisted by Heavenly Demon technology, the thunder he turned into was firmly constrained in the magnetic field and was even supplemented by continuously poured electrical energy.

Qian Wangsun asked: "Is this considered a success or a failure?"

The Heavenly God Emperor frowned: "He has taken one step forward. If he can recover himself, that is success."

Qian Wangsun knew that Dao Ancestors can transform into various natural phenomena in the universe, freely altering their life forms, but if a Dao Ancestor loses control, they will truly become some kind of natural phenomenon, completely losing their consciousness.

The Xiang Tiandi before them seemed to have taken this step but failed to pull back.

The Heavenly God Emperor continued: "Can you return my tribulation body to me? Xiang Tiandi no longer needs it, and the rest relies on him alone."

The Heavenly God Emperor referred to the tribulation body which Zhou Bai captured and turned into an energy source.

Qian Wangsun nodded: "Zhou Bai has already agreed to this, you can take it."

...

On the Moon, Xuan Nu was performing the rite left by spiritual people from beyond.

Blood-colored whirlpools seemed to spin in her eyes, countless incomprehensible sounds and images continually swirling in her mind.

Dr. Zhuang, standing by, said: "Before she entered the Moon Palace, she was already communicating through her father's corpse and the calls in the void."

"Now, using this rite, indeed, she is receiving twice the results with half the effort. We've received a large amount of signals from beyond, but haven't responded yet."
