Christina said with emotion, "Only after awakening these mories did I understand that at the end of the great war between humans and demons, Zhu Jiuyin fled with a group of the Demon Clan, and Bai Ze secretly joined the heavenly court with another group."
"Afterwards, in the conflict between good and evil, Bai Ze was stirring things up from behind the scenes. He joined forces with the righteous gods and even used the power of the Immortals to reap the world and eliminate dissenters."
"That's why among the four factions, there's the presence of demons."
Hearing Christina's words, Zhou Bai also had a mont of clarity in his mind and finally gained so understanding of the reasons behind many things.
"No wonder gods and Immortals have such differing attitudes toward mortals."
"Perhaps it's their scheming that has turned the current human race into a mix with demon blood."
"No wonder divine beings are treated in such a way; is this how demons treat their descendants? Just like Wei Cangsheng once said, many descendants are treated by them as food… as slaves…"
"That's right, if they were prepared in advance, they might have started to collect pureblood humans. And because of this, they seized many valuable things during the conflict between good and evil, amounting to looting the entire world…"
Various thoughts followed one after another in Zhou Bai's mind, but with them ca even more questions.
"But why… why could Bai Ze join forces with the four righteous gods? Why could gods and demons cooperate at all, to the extent that the gods were willing to engage in a civil war among humans, causing countless casualties among divine beings and mortals?"
"Where did Zhu Jiuyin go? At the end of the human-demon war, the conflict between good and evil, and the war with the Heavenly Demon, when the Heavenly Dao was twisted, why didn't he appear?" Enjoying the story? Find more at MV-LEMPYR.
"Wait… Did he really not take any action?"
The more he thought about it, the more Zhou Bai felt the layers of dark secrets hidden behind terms like heavenly court, the conflict between good and evil, and demons.
Christina sighed beside him: "Sigh, the more I think about it, the more it gives a headache. I really don't know what they're up to."
Zhou Bai asked, "Is this all the mory you've recovered this ti?"
Christina nodded, "Yes, I'm afraid I'll have to reach 60% attunent and enter the sixth realm before I can continue recovering mories."
"There's more!" Christina added: "I don't have the divine diagrams for the fifth and sixth realms! I have the attunent, but without the divine diagrams, I can't increase my strength!"
Zhou Bai frowned upon hearing this. Having defected from the human race, he couldn't ask the higher-ups for divine diagrams like before. If things continued this way, Christina's strength wouldn't grow, which might even impact her mory recovery.
After pondering, Zhou Bai said, "I'll find a way. If it cos down to it, I'll steal a couple of divine diagrams for you from Jijian Pavilion. For now, you should cultivate the Primordial Dao Canon."
Following that, Zhou Bai didn't rest either. After listening to Christina's mories, he almost spent every hour of every day in his workstation, cultivating his Primordial Spirit, selling materials to earn laziness points, and crafting chanical followers.
Having confird the presence of demons within the heavenly court, Zhou Bai felt an even greater pressure.
The righteous gods alone were already confird to be powerful, but if the strength of demons was added, and considering they manipulated the end of the human-demon war, started the conflict between good and evil, and harvested the world's wealth and resources, Zhou Bai felt an imnse pressure.
In the following days, whether he stood from the standpoint of the ancient wise n or from the current human race's standpoint, he had almost irreconcilable conflicts with the heavenly court.
To battle such a colossal entity, he needed more strength.
After working hard for over half a month, Zhou Bai gathered enough laziness points to illuminate the remaining seventh and eighth nodes of the Madness Disaster.
Looking at the contents of the Madness Disaster, Zhou Bai lanted, "My dream was to beco invincible without any effort, lying down, but now reality has forced into this situation."
Seeing his own diligent appearance, Zhou Bai felt a wave of discomfort.
When did it start? He twisted his nature so profoundly, engaging in the very endeavors he once liked the least—trying hard.
Zhou Bai felt like a youth who had been ruthlessly beaten down by society, pathetically pulling out his own cheat device.
Unfortunately, during this ti, he had wanted to introduce the Primordial Spirit armant to the Heavenly Demons. Sadly, these chanical brains couldn't possess a Primordial Spirit and were thus incapable of wielding the Primordial Spirit armant.
"It's just that the Nine Calamities of the Celestials are too weak. If I could level up to 999 just by sleeping, would I still need to toil so hard scavenging junk?"
"I hope the Madness Disaster of the ninth star point will satisfy and stop reality from turning a youth into sothing he dislikes."
While whimsically pondering and dispelling stress, Zhou Bai once again reviewed the contents of the eighth and ninth star points.
Wisdomless - Postmortem: The kin can sacrifice a portion of their sanity to gradually transform into your likeness.
Cultivation thod: Glance.
Laziness (0/6.5 million)
Looking at this star point, Zhou Bai could only helplessly curl his lip. He hadn't yet grasped the usefulness of this ability, which simply produced a bunch of oddly-shaped chanical followers.
Wisdomless - Transformation: As your strength grows, you may choose one follower to evolve into your Angel Envoy, who will simultaneously possess the power of four types of followers. Current Angel Envoy limit: 1
Cultivation thod: Glance.
Laziness (0/7 million)
This eighth star point greatly delighted Zhou Bai. After evolving into an Angel Envoy and simultaneously possessing the powers of four followers, the combat strength would be significantly boosted.
Still, with his current strength, he could only choose one Angel Envoy, which made him sowhat conflicted about who to select.
Theoretically, the upgrade of Xuan Nu into an Angel Envoy would maximize the increase in combat strength, but Zhou Bai couldn't place absolute trust in Xuan Nu.
So up to this point, he still hadn't chosen a candidate for the Angel Envoy, deciding to wait until the need for one arose.
After checking the star points, Zhou Bai raised his head, gazing at the massive object before him. A slight smile appeared on his lips; this was the secret weapon he had recently crafted especially for himself, which would greatly enhance his destructive and offensive power.
Zhou Bai manipulated the Void Crown circling around him, remotely connecting to all his chanical followers through the Void Crown.
The workstation before him resembled a world of tal and machinery, with countless octopus-like chanical followers floating in a hundreds of ters radius, darting back and forth, sliding their tentacles as they industriously worked, continuing to modify what he called his superweapon.
The only thing that caused Zhou Bai so regret was the insufficient defensive power of this thing. If it were to take a direct hit from an Immortal, it would be too prone to breaking.
'It's also too large. My followers that have shared the 'Tang Ruhai' ability can't cover such a vast area, and even if they could, it would be a waste.'
'Perhaps I could think of an alternate solution.'
...
anwhile, as Zhou Bai was working overti to enhance his strength, create chanical followers, and construct a superweapon,
Li Xiuzhu looked at Qian Wangsun before him and said, "Did Jiaojiao send you to give a ssage?"
Qian Wangsun nodded, "After I ventured through the cycles of Daluo Heaven, I returned to Donghua City once. At that ti, the Heavenly Court had not yet settled in Donghua City, and I t with the Great Elder. She asked to pass a ssage to you. Initially, I wasn't planning on doing so, but given the current situation..."
Qian Wangsun gave a wry smile, "The Great Elder must have anticipated this day long ago, hadn't she?"
