CHAPTER 661: 619 THE SCHEMES OF THE EVANGELICAL INSTITUTE

Hearing this, Fa Zheng froze for a moment, then closed his eyes, seemingly spreading and diffusing his perception to verify whether what Gua Tianshi said was true.

Soon, he displayed a frustrated expression. Apparently, it was his first time dealing with the Doomsday Chaos Space-Time, just like me when I first encountered such an environment. Before fully analyzing and adapting to this environment, he couldn’t expand his perception far enough.

Fortunately, while Fa Zheng couldn’t do it, I could. With the blessing of Little Bowl, in today’s real world, when it comes to analyzing and adapting to the Doomsday Chaos Space-Time, if I call myself the second-best, probably no one would dare to claim they are the first. Even when compared to Huang Quan, who had steeped in the "Doomsday Era" for over a hundred years when he was alive, in this aspect, he also lags behind the current me.

Centering on where I stand, my perception quickly expanded to a range with a diameter of over a thousand kilometers. Of course, with such a massive expansion of perception area, the precision unavoidably decreases. Even I can’t process all the detailed micro-changes happening within this domain in real-time, but that’s not required now.

From a perspective resembling a satellite map, I observed that the Doomsday Chaos Space-Time had already spread to a province-sized area. Not only our city, but all the cities included within this province have already entered the Doomsday Era. Time and space became a chaotic mess as if turned into glue, and the toxin-like force causing the collapse of space-time order continued to worsen the situation. The fate of most humans within this range could be described as small skiffs on a stormy sea.

However, compared to what was originally expected, this could indeed be considered fortunate. In our original estimate, the Doomsday Space-Time by now should have covered the entire nation and would within minutes cover all of Asia, and soon after the entire world. But now, it has stalled at the scale of a single province.

I conveyed these results to Fa Zheng.

"My Fatian Xiangdi has the special trait of calming other Fatian Xiangdi," Gua Tianshi said. "And unlike you who need to focus on combating Great Impermanence level monsters with all your spirit, I can devote all my spirit to deploying my own Fatian Xiangdi.

"Therefore, although I can’t erase this Doomsday Fatian Xiangdi spread by three monsters simultaneously all by myself, I can at least barely curb its growth momentum."

In the past, around Moon Hidden Mountain City, to prevent Yinyue’s Fatian Xiangdi from harming ordinary people, Gua Tianshi personally intervened, using his Fatian Xiangdi to calm it.

And now Gua Tianshi is doing the same thing, just the level of difficulty is absolutely incomparable.

Gua Tianshi added another sentence: "To increase efficiency here, I also requested Jian Feixian to use his Sword Qi capable of slicing through time and space to further prevent the spread of Doomsday Space-Time."

As far as I know, disrupting space-time to such an extent can be done by any Great Impermanence. However, specialized skills vary, and Jian Feixian is more adept at this than other Great Impermanence, both in terms of scale and depth. Objects severed by him are often difficult to heal again, whether they be living or non-living.

Theoretically, he could even use Sword Qi to cut an expansive time-space far exceeding city size from the real world, turning it into a Different Space like an isolated island.

Earlier, Fa Zheng and I were probably overly focused on the battle, plus the chaotic Doomsday Space-Time itself hinders the transmission of mana fluctuations, which is why we didn’t notice the busy activities of Gua Tianshi and Jian Feixian a thousand miles away.

Fa Zheng’s expression relaxed slightly, then he lowered his head towards Jian Feixian, saying, "I had a poor attitude earlier, I apologize, sorry."

"I don’t mind," Jian Feixian replied airily.

"But this incident can also be considered lucky... no, perhaps it’s not entirely luck, there could be some sort of inevitable pull," Gua Tianshi looked at me and said unhurriedly, "It’s fortunate that you were at the site where the three monsters invaded the real world... I remember according to the information provided by Zhuang Cheng, it is called a Great Demon, right?

"If those three Great Demons had dispersed and moved freely, unrestrainedly spreading this terrifying Fatian Xiangdi simultaneously worldwide, then preventing the advent of doomsday would have been completely impossible."

Fa Zheng frowned tightly and said, "Regarding this, I have a question... Why did we kill those three Great Demons, yet their Fatian Xiangdi hasn’t ended? Gua Tianshi, do you have any thoughts?"

"I think it’s because the source is still exerting force." I already had a definite direction in my heart.

Doomsday Demons are essentially avatars of the Naraku Gospel, and their Fatian Xiangdi is Doomsday Space-Time also because its source is the Naraku Gospel. This is actually the Fatian Xiangdi of the Naraku Gospel.

Simultaneously, I also somewhat understood another matter.

Naraku Gospel can effortlessly change the Post-mortem World, simulating it as a "future era after the destruction of human civilization," turning it into land where humans can’t survive, then why not do the same thing on the real-world Earth? Since Naraku Gospel is the planet’s natural will, doing the same thing should be simple, right?

The reason it doesn’t do so is that it would also damage the planet’s environment, perhaps? But for the planet itself, it’s just changing the surface environment’s setting, which shouldn’t be fundamentally damaging. Moreover, this is still for eradicating the "root of all evil," humans, giving even less reason not to do so.

The real reason, probably, is because the Post-mortem World is a spiritual world, so it can change in an instant; whereas the real world is material, so it can’t immediately complete such a transformation.

The larger the organism, the slower its movement, with neural signals taking longer to reach extremities from the center compared to smaller animals, and more effort required for blood to circulate from the heart throughout the body. The planet’s natural will likely faces similar obstacles. In terms of altering the surface world’s speed, the planet’s natural will, this colossal entity, is probably far slower than Great Impermanence.

And methods to speed up this process do exist, namely utilizing demons similar to Great Impermanence, bringing them to the real world to spread doomsday-like Fatian Xiangdi.

The one who probably came up with this idea isn’t the planet’s natural will itself. In my impression, the planet’s natural will is more inclined to be a spirit entity acting on instinct, hard to imagine having such a clever plan. The one who’s orchestrating this behind the scenes is undoubtedly the Evangelical Institute.

Their objective, without a doubt, is to clear human civilization by unfolding the Doomsday Era in the real world.

Upon further reflection, this method for them is indeed killing multiple birds with one stone. The Doomsday Era can dismantle human civilization, while the frenzy born from it can erase human history in bulk from the minds of survivors. Additionally, since they aren’t personally slaughtering all of humanity, they don’t have to confront Fa Zheng, who, wielding the Human Dao Divine Weapon, can unleash unimaginable power after the third gate when humanity is on the brink of extinction.

The Evangelical Institute probably doesn’t even know Luo Mountain holds the "Du Shuo Mountain" technical data here, thinking they can leisurely watch from afar.

Moreover, though I’m not particularly sure, this prematurely arrived Doomsday Space-Time likely isn’t a genuine doomsday process in the strict sense. Since it’s the "Doomsday Era" mimicked by the planet’s natural will, the planet’s natural will clearly wouldn’t drive a doomsday process to clear human history that might destroy itself, that would indeed be reversing the objective. So, from the Evangelical Institute’s standpoint, this is also a costless profitable deal.

"The Doomsday Space-Time is still attempting to spread, I’ve just curbed it, but this is only a palliative, not a cure. If I make a mistake here, the Doomsday Space-Time will spread again, and it would explode in scale with far more momentum than before, like a spring released under pressure, the speed of global coverage would likely be less than a minute," Gua Tianshi said to us, "The Evangelical Institute will not just watch me be a hindrance, we must defeat them before that."

"There’s something I haven’t figured out, doesn’t the Evangelical Institute fear the Human Dao Divine Weapon, doing this kind of thing?" After pondering, I asked, "Even if Earth enters the Doomsday Era, as long as we’re here, although we can’t claim to preserve human civilization as a whole, we can at least ensure a handful of humans survive, maybe even retain some record of human history. In such a state, Fa Zheng’s power could also ascend to unimaginable levels.

"The Evangelical Institute couldn’t just watch us maintain the old human history; hypothetically, since they want to restart human civilization on barren lands, they couldn’t hide indefinitely in the Post-mortem World avoiding Fa Zheng, eventually they must advance to the Living World. They must have considered this issue, right?"

Hearing this, Jian Feixian nodded in agreement, while Gua Tianshi showed a helpless expression.

After pondering, Fa Zheng let out a long sigh, saying, "No, things aren’t that simple... if humanity’s numbers truly dwindled to that extent, instead I wouldn’t be able to wield the full power of the Human Dao Divine Weapon... at least not against the Evangelical Institute."

Gua Tianshi nodded and said, "If humankind truly finds itself on the verge of extinction, sure, it would allow Fa Zheng to gain unprecedented power, yet it would simultaneously mean the Evangelical Institute is no longer humanity’s enemy."
