Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 1166 - 1164: Observation
"Better check again. If Zhou Bai finds out we got lazy, we're in big trouble, at least a week without internet."
"Tch, Zhou Bai just lived a few more years, huh? When I'm in charge, I'll make sure every Zhou Bai can play games all day, no work, no office..."
"But I heard Zhou Bai 101 said Zhou Bai supports him as the next leader."
"101? Ha... just a big cannon, doomed to die sooner or later."
"Well, 2333 is good too. He has the most Zhou Bai under him in the whole Heavenly Demon Pool. I heard 1024, 666, 10086 all support him as leader."
Zhou Bai 123 and Zhou Bai 321 checked once more, finding no problems, then left, cursing along the way.
Meanwhile, the Demon Saint had already appeared on another immigrant spaceship.
Humming a tune in his mouth, he leisurely turned left and right, avoiding pedestrians and monks, entering a civilian area.
Listening to the cheers from all directions, he slightly curled the corner of his mouth, knowing that humans were celebrating the victory over the Supreme Heavenly Venerate.
...
Inside Yuqing Heaven, Zhou Bai reached out to take the Demon Summoning Banner in front of him and said to the motionless Bodhi Tree: "How's the situation?"
In the Demon Summoning Banner, Xiang Tiandi's Primordial Spirit said: "The Bodhi Tree hasn't moved since just now. Is it because of the Supreme?"
The Xiang Tiandi before him was the Primordial Spirit he entrusted to the Demon Summoning Banner during his battle with the Bodhi Tree, releasing an antimatter bomb by opening the Luotian Realm to survive.
After all, considering Xiang Tiandi's caution and fear of death, even if it were truly to defeat the Supreme Heavenly Venerate, he couldn't casually sacrifice his life. He always had to find a backup plan.
This Demon Summoning Banner was used by Si Yi Heavenly Monarch during the Heavenly Court battle to store the consciousness of Immortals who lost their Divine Body or the bodies of demons.
Now, Xiang Tiandi at the Dao Ancestor level was using it to house his Primordial Spirit, perfectly operating his consciousness, though losing the Divine Body greatly reduced his power.
Zhou Bai nodded: "I've already sent the Supreme to the Heavenly Dao Gate. With its master gone, naturally, the Bodhi Tree doesn't activate anymore."
Zhou Bai walked step by step towards the trunk of the Bodhi Tree, his Primordial Spirit power spreading like sea water, filling the entire Yuqing Heaven, instantly breaking more than a dozen hidden Arrays.
Yet no matter how meticulously Zhou Bai scanned the Bodhi Tree, he couldn't sense any trace of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate.
The energy and aura released by Zhou Bai instantly startled Xiang Tiandi within the Demon Summoning Banner, who was observing Zhou Bai's state, confused and suspicious: "Your strength..."
Zhou Bai said: "Oh~ didn't I tell you? Making the Supreme Heavenly Venerate become a retainer not only enhances his aptitudes, allowing him to ascend to the Heavenly Dao Gate, but also lets me learn the Supreme's knowledge, reaching his level."
"Although I'm not truly at the Supreme's level now, I'm not far off."
"?!!"
Beneath Zhou Bai's deliberate concealment, Xiang Tiandi couldn't imagine Zhou Bai could download all of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate's Dao spells, martial arts, and insights.
In his view, even if the Supreme was ultimately sealed, Zhou Bai on the main battlefield might be severely injured, and he hoped to take advantage of that.
After all, it required joining forces to deal with the Supreme, but once the Supreme was defeated, the weak alliance led by Zhou Bai and Qian Wangsun seemed likely to collapse in Xiang Tiandi's eyes.
In fact, he had indeed set more than a dozen hidden Arrays in Yuqing Heaven as a defense against Zhou Bai, but they were instantly broken by Zhou Bai.
Realizing this, Xiang Tiandi controlled the Demon Summoning Banner, attempting to traverse space to escape.
Despite losing his Divine Body, Xiang Tiandi still managed to pass through Yuqing Heaven's space instantaneously with Dao Ancestor-level strength, then split and transformed into thousands of Demon Summoning Banners traveling in all directions.
After dozens of spatial traversals and transformations, only then did Xiang Tiandi stop.
'Already back on Earth, Zhou Bai didn't pursue?'
As Xiang Tiandi thought that, he suddenly realized something looking at the surroundings, only to see a terrain like a yellow jade, with five towering peaks reaching the clouds like sky pillars straight to Yun Kong.
A chill rose in Xiang Tiandi's heart. Looking back, he saw a familiar face appear in the sky—Zhou Bai's expressionless face.
Xiang Tiandi's heart skipped a beat: 'I'm in his palm?'
Zhou Bai looked at the Demon Summoning Banner in his hand, saying: "Xiang Tiandi, though you helped greatly in defeating the Supreme this time, the crimes committed as demons and immortals are heinous. In the upcoming days, you'll remain in the Demon Summoning Banner for me to command."
The demons within the Demon Summoning Banner cried out loudly.
"Zhou Bai! You treacherous villain!"
"Zhou Bai, we agreed to fight against the Supreme Heavenly Venerate together, what are you doing?"
"Let us out, we can contribute to human progress too!"
"Shut up!" Xiang Tiandi roared as he tried to control the Demon Summoning Banner to dash out.
Only to see Zhou Bai flip his palm, completely suppressing it, transforming it into embroidery on his clothes.
Zhou Bai then planned to refine the entire Bodhi Tree, to not only control this treasure but also the three-layer space of Supreme Heaven.
'However, that's quite a project.' Zhou Bai pondered: 'The Supreme Heavenly Venerate spent a lot of effort on this tree, treating it as a second Primordial Spirit. With my current level, thoroughly refining it...won't be possible without weeks.'
Thus, Zhou Bai sent a message to Qian Wangsun and Zuo Dao, asking them to command the human fleet for migration while he stayed in Supreme Heaven refining the Bodhi Tree.
Zhou Bai released the Distorted Shadow and Deformed Shadow, having them refine the Bodhi Tree.
Meanwhile, he stayed nearby, preparing to further contemplate the knowledge downloaded from the Supreme Heavenly Venerate.
'Especially this Nine Disasters Unite, now with the Supreme temporarily sealed, I can finally explore what this Nine Disasters Unite is...'
...
During the time Zhou Bai refined the Bodhi Tree, the human fleet split into three groups, migrating humans to Mars, Europa, and Titan.
Due to Earth's fragmentation and disintegration, it began orbiting the sun in a broken state, resulting in an environment no longer suitable for living.
So, humanity's plan was to migrate to those three planets, relying on bases and facilities prepared in advance by the Heavenly Demon for survival.
As everything needed to restart, nearly all of humanity joined in this massive construction movement.
At this moment, in a subterranean base on Titan, the Demon Saint roamed like a ghost within the ship's hull, observing the conditions of monks, retainers, Heavenly Demons, commoners, and others with different statuses and cultivation levels.
