Zhou Bai, leveraging his Primordial Spirit Ergence, had assessed the situation and then refrained from delving deeper, instead returning to where he had instructed Xuan Nu and the others to hide. His Primordial Spirit swiftly returned to his body.
Seeing this, Xuan Nu, who had always been protecting Zhou Bai, hastily asked, "How is it? How many Immortal Gods are there?"
Zhou Bai's physical body opened his eyes and said gravely, "Zi Yang is definitely there. As for the rest, it's hard to say how many Immortal Gods are lying in ambush; it could be ten or even twenty."
Christina's voice rang out from within the sea of consciousness, "You've got to be kidding! How could there be so many Immortal Gods ambushing you! Don't they have jobs or cultivation to do!"
Xuan Nu exclaid, "That many?!" Her brows furrowed with concern as she said, "If there are that many Immortal Gods, we stand no chance in a direct fight. If you want to retrieve the Ancient Scroll 06, we'll need to find another way."
A cold glint flashed in Xuan Nu's eyes, "I could simply turn all the cultivators over there into mutants, and then I'll wear the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor to draw their fire.
Zhou Bai, you could use your Primordial Spirit Ergence in the chaos to get close to those Immortal Gods, just like you did last ti with Zi Yang, luring them into mutation one by one."
As she spoke, a flicker of excitent crossed her face, "Zhou Bai, as long as they're completely mutated, their current consciousness erased, they'll beco our natural allies. With their help, we could rapidly increase the number of mutants..."
Hearing Xuan Nu's plan, Zhou Bai frowned and said, "No, Xuan Nu, I don't have the ability to turn so many Immortal Gods into mutants. This plan won't work."
"I see…" Xuan Nu's eyes flashed, "Then we should just turn the other mortal cultivators into mutants. While they attack the Immortal Gods, we can search for the Ancient Scroll 06."
Zhou Bai thought to himself, 'If Xuan Nu keeps thinking about increasing the number of mutants, it's bound to lead to a disaster sooner or later. I need to find a way to stop such thoughts.'
With this in mind, he firmly gripped Xuan Nu's shoulders, looked at her, and said, "Xuan Nu, we shouldn't indiscriminately increase the number of mutants, nor should we casually turn people into mutants."
Xuan Nu's expression changed, and she looked at Zhou Bai skeptically, "Do you still hesitate to harm humans?"
Zhou Bai wagged his finger, "Of course not. It's just that until we figure out how to create intelligent mutants, I don't want to keep creating them randomly."
Facing Xuan Nu's doubtful and puzzled gaze, Zhou Bai gave a sinister smile, "Humans are the best breeding ground for mutants, and for us, they are a precious resource."
"But human consciousness is too fragile to bear the power of mutation, so we lose one every ti we use one."
"In this age of the Heavenly Demon Wars, every human body is incredibly valuable to us, representing a new ally.'
Zhou Bai raised his hand, clenched it into a fist, his eyes seemingly ablaze with ambition, "I intend to turn all humans into intelligent mutants, not just create a mass of mindless cannon fodder.
Only the ability to create intelligence can truly forge a civilization, not rely add a species to this planet.
To control the source of intelligence, to govern the rise and fall of civilizations, to beco the master of all things, that is my goal.
As for individual cultivation and mutant abilities, those will be the most trivial of my accomplishnts. Only intelligence itself is invincible."
Zhou Bai glanced at Xuan Nu, "Xuan Nu, your previous thods were too primitive and wasteful. A group of unintelligent kin is of no value to ."
Xuan Nu looked at Zhou Bai in surprise, a mix of awe and realizations stirring within her as she listened to him, 'This is it… this diabolic view of humans as resources, this ruthless hunting of humans, and this ambition to control intelligence and create a civilization.'
The look in Xuan Nu's eyes gradually turned to one of adoration as she thought, 'Zhou Bai... He is indeed fit to be the leader of the mutants. I am far behind him.'
With her head bowed, Xuan Nu earnestly said, "I understand, I will never randomly create mutants and waste human resources again."
Zhou Bai, "Good that you understand."
Xuan Nu, "What should we do next?"
"I already have so tactical ideas, but they still need so refinent."
After a mont, Zhou Bai quietly put away his Human Emperor Sword.
Watching Zhou Bai swallow the Human Emperor Sword wrapped in Guihai Heisha with a natural air, a glint appeared in Xuan Nu's eyes, "Whether in realm or degree of mutation, I am far behind Zhou Bai."
Then, as the shadows beneath Zhou Bai's feet began to twist, morphing from ordinary shadows into a pitch-black quagmire, a figure, entirely dark and oozing black viscous fluid, slowly erged and hovered in mid-air.
Xuan Nu looked at the humanoid form in surprise, curious, "What is this?"
"My mutant clone, created with my Guihai Heisha. No worries if it dies."
Zhou Bai watched as his twisted shadow clone completely took on his form, following the ntal command.
This twisted shadow was a result of the ability granted by the Apocalypse Heavenly Skeleton Armor, born from a combination of Guihai Heisha and 100 points of contamination, after 24 hours of incubation, manifesting this strange clone.
The twisted shadow possessed half of Zhou Bai's strength, could access all of Zhou Bai's abilities, Taoist skills, and martial arts, and be controlled at a distance of up to one thousand kiloters.
Zhou Bai, "Next, I'll control the twisted shadow to attack the Immortal Gods. Let's move further away to prevent those Immortal Gods from discovering us."
The two flew north for over three hundred kiloters in one breath. Xuan Nu, seeing Zhou Bai showing no sign of stopping, asked sowhat surprised, "Isn't this far enough?"
Zhou Bai shook his head, "No, our opponents are Immortal Gods. Who knows what kind of miraculous thods they possess, how large their search range is, which mutant weapons they might carry, including their divinations. Three hundred kiloters is far too close against their magical ans."
Zhou Bai solemnly reminded, "Xuan Nu, rember, when dealing with any enemy, always be careful and cautious. There are all sorts of unimaginable forces in this world, Twilight Taoist Skills, divinations, Immortal Techniques, mutant abilities…"
While ntioning these, Zhou Bai thought of his own Celestial Disasters, "Heaven knows what talents might appear that you can't handle, ones you haven't even considered. Therefore, we must always be careful and well-prepared."
Admiringly, Xuan Nu watched Zhou Bai, "As expected of Zhou Bai, this prudence must be why you can move freely in the human world as a mutant, and even escape unscathed in front of Immortal Gods. This caution is what I lacked before."
