Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 1165 - 1163: Descent

Right after Supreme Heavenly Venerate disappeared from the Material World, Zhou Bai opened his mouth and spat out a vast number of Heavenly Demons, spreading them across tens of thousands of meters in space.

Numerous detection methods madly scanned every inch of the surrounding space, while the Haotian God Emperor, Zuo Dao, and Xuan Nu rushed over, each using their powers to sweep the surrounding space, searching for any trace of Supreme Heavenly Venerate.

Zuo Dao communicated: "Zhou Bai... He..."

Zhou Bai nodded: "I've exiled him from the Material World. In theory... he shouldn't be able to return for a long time. And by the time he does, we should no longer fear him."

"But I'll still have the Heavenly Demons stay here to monitor the situation, you guys should hurry to rendezvous with the fleet."

Seeing Zhou Bai about to turn and leave, Xuan Nu asked, "Where are you going?"

Zhou Bai turned his head and smiled: "There's still some loose ends to tie up."

At this moment, Zhou Bai, in terms of realm, was already the closest to Supreme Heavenly Venerate within the entire solar system, and his mastery of space-time had surpassed that of Haotian God Emperor.

Just as he stepped forward, leisurely crossing the space, he left his original position and vanished without a trace.

Zuo Dao's face flashed with a look of relief and delight, smiling as he communicated: "I never thought Zhou Bai could really defeat Taishang. I just thought we were done for."

"Weren't you just charging up to fight Zhou Bai?" Haotian God Emperor said calmly: "I always thought Zhou Bai wouldn't surrender easily, he must have planned something."

Zuo Dao replied: "I was just cooperating with Zhou Bai in putting on a show. Just one exchange of glances and I knew this kid was up to something again..."

Looking at Zuo Dao and God Emperor casually chatting like ordinary people, Xuan Nu rolled her eyes, secretly thinking disdainfully: "Huh, men..."

Xuan Nu turned around and looked at the Earth that was gradually heading towards disintegration, sighed inwardly: 'Where will humanity go from here?'

'What are Zhou Bai and Demon Saint plotting again?'

At this moment, Xuan Nu recalled her experience of communicating with Demon Saint through consciousness with the help of Supreme Heavenly Venerate.

…

In front of the Gate of Heavenly Dao, Demon Saint looked at Xuan Nu and said, "You've acquired the divine position, now you are truly part of Heavenly Dao, part of this universe. Use your mutated powers well, and they will have a real place in the future."

Xuan Nu sensed her state, questioning: "Although all my mutated abilities have been enhanced, I don't feel any new powers from the divine position."

Demon Saint said: "Only by combining the divine position with mutation can you master the great civilization's technology. I can clearly tell you, the twisted force of Heavenly Dao is closely related to your mutated powers."

"It was the great civilization's creation of Heavenly Dao that led to mutated beings, that created you."

Demon Saint advised patiently: "But this combination isn't something that can be achieved overnight."

"You need extensive learning, cultivation, experimentation, little by little to merge the two. It might take hundreds of years to achieve, or thousands upon thousands might yield nothing." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"After all, regarding the great civilization, our current knowledge remains extremely limited."

Xuan Nu listened to Demon Saint speaking of the great civilization, and her mind surged with countless ideas flowing through her consciousness.

Then, Demon Saint seemingly casually asked: "How is Zhou Bai's preparation going?"

Xuan Nu hesitated slightly: "What preparation?"

Demon Saint looked surprised and said: "What? He didn't tell you?"

Xuan Nu frowned: "Tell me what?"

Demon Saint said: "After recreating a simplified version of the Immortal Ascension Book, he contacted me and asked a few questions."

Xuan Nu asked: "What questions?"

…

"What did Zhou Bai ask you? Was it about teaming up to set up today's situation?"

Supreme Heavenly Venerate sat cross-legged before Demon Saint, appearing to have regained his former composure, at least on the surface.

Upon hearing Supreme Heavenly Venerate's words, Demon Saint just chuckled and didn't answer.

Supreme Heavenly Venerate continued speaking to himself: "From the end of the war between humans and demons to now guiding Zhou Bai, Bai Ze, and Xuan Nu, seems like your shadow is behind it all. Who would have thought you could do so much sitting in front of the Gate of Heavenly Dao..."

Seeing Demon Saint still smiling without speaking, Supreme Heavenly Venerate suddenly asked: "Did you trick Xuan Nu about something? A wise mutated being, thinking about it now, it must be quite extraordinary, right?"

Demon Saint said: "It's about time, Taishang, you should be on your way."

Behind Demon Saint, the Gate of Heavenly Dao slowly opened, and a pair of blood-red eyes suddenly looked at Supreme Heavenly Venerate.

Demon Saint said: "This is an old friend of mine, his name is Dong Ming."

"Let him accompany you from now on."

…

When Zhou Bai stepped into Supreme Heaven, looking at the monitoring records transmitted through the Heavenly Demon network, he found that Zuo Dao, Haotian God Emperor, Xuan Nu had already left the battlefield, along with Qian Wangsun on Earth and many Heavenly Demons and replicant Zhou Bai had all gone to converge with Earth's immigrant fleet.

"Have they left?" Zhou Bai watched the surveillance footage, muttering: "Will he come?"

Transformed back to Christina, the big yellow said: "What will come? Zhou Bai, are you worried that Supreme Heavenly Venerate can come back?"

"It's not worrying about Supreme Heavenly Venerate, but about Demon Saint." Zhou Bai said seriously: "Back then, Ji Wufan managed to put Dong Ming into the Gate of Heavenly Dao, enabling him to re-materialize in the Material World."

"It's just that the materialization time seemed to have gone wrong."

"I don't know whether Demon Saint will utilize Supreme Heavenly Venerate's emergence, nor do I know if he will appear in our current timeline, not even sure of his attitude towards us."

"But it's always better to be prepared, if Demon Saint truly returns to the Material World, I've also thought of some countermeasures. Based on his previous attitude, the problem shouldn't be big."

Zhou Bai reminisced about his conversation with Demon Saint, commenting softly: "After all, one thing similar to what we currently know is... there is a certain limit to the realm achievable in the Material World."

While having the Heavenly Demons inspect the battlefield situation, guarding against Demon Saint's arrival, Zhou Bai had already arrived at the deepest part of Supreme Heaven, before the Bodhi Tree of Yuqing Heaven.

Seeing the mutated weapon Demon Summoning Banner, once belonged to Si Yi, slowly fall down, accompanied by bursts of demonic wind, Xiang Tiandi's voice emerged from within.

"Mission accomplished."

…

Meanwhile, aboard a spaceship within the Earth's immigrant fleet, inside a temporarily unused laboratory.

A hair the thickness of a pinkie was lying quietly within the observation device.

This was a hair summoned by Zhou Bai from the void via Misfortune, which he deemed as evidence of some living entity in the void.

Despite studying it through various methods, no useful information had been gained from this hair, thus it was temporarily stored away.

At this moment, accompanied by the hair's slight twisting, all monitoring devices in the laboratory stalled for a moment.

Within that instant, the entire hair grew and transformed at an incredible speed, ultimately taking on Demon Saint's appearance, leaping out of the observation device.

"I have finally emerged."

Standing in the laboratory, Demon Saint twisted his neck, then blew a breath, watching as a strand of hair flew out from his hand, returning to the observation device, transforming into the previous hair's appearance.

Shortly after Demon Saint left, two replicant Zhou Bai entered the laboratory.

Zhou Bai123 remarked: "Why is the monitoring data here short by a second suddenly?"

Zhou Bai321 inspected the situation, shook his head, and said: "There's nothing happening here. Let's go, I want to play a game."
