"I once told you that it was the distortion of Heavenly Dao that led to the contamination of human bloodlines. But in fact, the situation is even worse."
"When the gods above discovered the unique attributes of the demon bloodline, the entire human race... had already beco contaminated with it."
Zhou Bai listened in shock, unable to believe it, he said, "The entire human race is mixed with demon blood?"
"Exactly, and that's why the Celestial Court now sees humans as enemies," Jiaojiao said somberly. "The righteous gods of the Celestial Court's four departnts, as well as the immortals from Wanxian Island, are all born of pure human lineage. They have been fighting demons for countless years, losing nurous comrades and kin to their slaughter, even to the extent of being devoured by them."
"And now our human race, us with mixed blood, we are the descendants of those demons."
"Even if we were to cultivate using the old thods of the Demon Clan, our demon bloodlines would imdiately reveal themselves."
Jiaojiao sighed, "In the great war between humans and demons, the Demon Clan lost, yet also did not. They lost the war, but humans have lost their bloodlines."
Christina listened, equally shocked, but she let out a sigh of relief. After all, she was now related to the human race, so it was normal for her to help them.
However, Zhou Bai was completely stupefied. Jiaojiao, thinking he was too shocked, consoled him, "Don't be overly concerned whether it's a demon bloodline or a human bloodline.
In the end, we are ourselves, our civilization, our history, all of it has been forged step by step by our ancestors. Demons and humans are rely titles."
Zhou Bai felt lost in his heart, 'No... it's not as simple as just a title.'
He recalled what Dr. Zhuang had said in the past.
"You are now the last of humanity in this world."
A sudden, eerie feeling rose in Zhou Bai's heart: "Dao School… Qian Wangsun, Jing Xiu, Xia Li... they are all of demon bloodlines, but I am not, I must be of pure human lineage."
Reflecting on what Dr. Zhuang had said, he felt there was more to it than ets the eye, "Did Dr. Zhuang know my identity? Was it only the clone at that base that knew, or did all the Dr. Zhuangs know? What about Elsa? Does she know?"
"If I really am of pure human lineage, what attitude would the Celestial Court have upon learning this? And what about the attitude of current humans?"
"Should I really be an enemy to the gods? To a race that shares the sa blood as ?"
Zhou Bai's mind beca a whirl of chaos as if countless thoughts were arguing and cursing within, as though he had suddenly turned from a good person into a bad one, and from a bad person into a good one.
Eventually, all the questions and doubts sharply converged into one final question.
"Am I of the sa human race as the immortals of the Celestial Court?"
Zhou Bai understood that to answer this question, he needed to know whether the Earth he had traveled from before and the Earth he was on now were one and the sa.
He needed to determine whether he had traversed through ti or into a parallel universe.
Seeing Zhou Bai fall silent, Jiaojiao tried to offer comfort but saw Zhou Bai suddenly lift his head, "Elder, I have another question."
Jiaojiao: "What is it?"
Zhou Bai: "China, the United States, the Song Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty... have you heard of these?"
Jiaojiao: "What are those nations? Where did you hear about them?"
Zhou Bai thought to himself, 'Does the elder not know of them? So is it because the elder doesn't know, or is this truly a parallel universe?'
At that mont, Zhou Bai was filled with profound doubts regarding the relationship between the Earth he once knew and this Earth.
Nurous possibilities flashed through his mind, yet not one could be proven with real evidence.
With a sigh, Zhou Bai asked again, "Oh, and Elder, do you know the title 'Ancient Demon'?"
"Where did you hear that from?" Jiaojiao's expression changed, and amidst her speech, furious Primordial Spirit power surged from all directions, locking down Zhou Bai's limbs.
Zhou Bai had not expected that the re ntion of the 'Ancient Demon' would elicit such an intense reaction from Jiaojiao.
He tried to explain, "I saw it at the Plague Departnt's experintal site."
"That's impossible, you're lying," Jiaojiao said coldly. "The people who still know this na now... Have you been in contact with Christina?"
While she spoke, a dreamlike Primordial Spirit power rushed towards him, and Zhou Bai instantly understood that Jiaojiao was about to deploy the Dream Heart Scripture to pull him into a dream and interrogate him.
He wasn't sure he could control the situation in the dream, so without hesitation, Zhou Bai used the gemstone's Ti Reverse ability.
In an instant, ti rewound, and Zhou Bai found himself back on the road before eting the Elder, taking a deep breath.
Looking at the hundreds of books he was carrying on his back, Zhou Bai sighed and first returned to the library.
However, on the way back, the information he had just received from the Elder kept flashing through his mind.
Christina asked in confusion, "Zhou Bai, what's wrong with you? I feel like you're unsettled."
"Tina... How did I co to be here, how did I et you, and why did I get this Heavenly Dao Nine Calamities system?" Zhou Bai said with so bewildernt: "Is all this a coincidence... Or is soone arranging it?"
Christina: "I don't know. But maybe when I regain more of my cultivation, I'll know!"
Zhou Bai nodded, "I hope so..."
Six days later, Zhou Bai's laziness value finally broke through 2.6 million. He could now activate the next star point.
Greed - Defense: The treasures under your control of the Primordial Spirit can share a tenth of your damage reduction ability.
Cultivation thod: Zhou Bai briefly looked it over.
Laziness (0/2.6 million)
"If I can share my damage reduction ability, that mainly ans it applies to my 'Lying as Stable as a Mountain' and 'Polluting Body'. If my armor could share a tenth of my damage reduction ability, how astonishing would the armor's defensive power be?"
Zhou Bai smiled and pressed the star point, and the 2.6 million laziness value disappeared in an instant.
Zhou Bai's Greed Progression (6/9).
Four weeks remained until the debate in Daluo Heaven.

In Nanshan City, within the secret chamber where Sun Jingping was located,
nurous blood vessels traveled back and forth in the air, penetrating Sun Jingping's body, twisting and growing beneath his skin while emitting waves of weird, cold breath.
A look of pain surfaced on Sun Jingping's face as he tried to erupt with vast Primordial Spirit power ti and again, struggling to break free, only to be suppressed directly by Wei Cang standing beside him, with his nine realms of formidable power, making him unable to step over the boundary.
He could only watch helplessly as his body was taken over by the twisted, ugly biological tissue, slowly gaining control.
Half an hour later, all the evil, twisted biological tissues had vanished, and Sun Jingping in front of them once again looked healthy and normal.
At the sa ti, from the Xuan Nu standing on the side, in a perspective that only Zhou Bai might be able to see, wisps of white fortune erged from her and grew more and more vigorous.
Xuan Nu, oblivious to these, simply looked at Sun Jingping and said with satisfaction, "It's finally completed."
