Calamity of Tomorrow
Chapter 1079 1077: Testing
Li Tai watched the scene with a look of shock, even seeing some Homo sapiens technology within it.
The Golden Mother Primordial Lord seemed to sense Li Tai's surprise and chuckled lightly, saying, "At the level of the Dao Ancestor, every action transcends form. In fact, the moment we encountered the Homo sapiens civilization, the God Emperor and Heavenly Venerate had already learned all of their civilization's knowledge, whether to use it is a different matter."
Upon hearing this, Li Tai's heart sank: 'So that's it... Although they have learned the knowledge of Homo sapiens, they have no intention of spreading it, nor are they interested in changing the whole society. They only use this knowledge to enhance their cultivation and combat power.'
As the battle in the sky intensified, countless stars turned into meteors, and in the midst of violent explosions, countless new materials were born.
Watching these scenes, the Golden Mother Primordial Lord fervently exclaimed, "After turning into fire, it's him; when extinguished by water, the vapor is him; when absorbed into water, it's him; when swallowed and turned into flesh and blood, it's still him."
"This is the Dao Ancestor. As long as they wish, those who transcend human form can become anything or any phenomenon in heaven and earth; any attack on them can only cause transformation, without truly harming them."
"Their combat power can be infinitely enhanced; the only limitation on their power is the accumulation of time."
This was also the first time Li Tai had witnessed a battle at the Dao Ancestor level, feeling that the gap between them and ordinary immortals and gods was too vast, leaving them seemingly no chance to act.
Li Tai murmured, "A being of the Dao Ancestor, are they not immortal, invincible forever?"
"How could that be?" the Golden Mother Primordial Lord said. "In this world, there's no such thing as immortal, invincible forever. If anything could be said to be so, it would only be wisdom itself."
"Once the Dao Ancestor transcends human form and is completely liberated, their Dao transformation degree increases every moment, but at this stage, the degree of Dao transformation is more of a detriment than a benefit.
Once they reach the limit they can bear, even they will be completely distorted, unable to revert to human form, and become a natural phenomenon."
Upon hearing this, Li Tai's heart clenched with apprehension, understanding the peril present in the battle between the God Emperor Haotian and the Supreme Heavenly Venerate before him.
The Golden Mother Primordial Lord continued, "Moreover, this battle is not something we can't intervene in at all."
Before Li Tai could react, his face tensed, alongside hundreds of immortals and gods in the Heavenly Court, they uniformly turned their gaze to this cosmic battle with the same expression and demeanor.
In the next moment, all the immortals and cultivators in the Heavenly Court set up a grand array, endless primordial spirit power and spiritual energy surged from their bodies, traversed space, and converged into the sky, becoming part of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate's power.
...
Inside the Great Library, the God Emperor Haotian's expression changed slightly as he perceived the unfavorable external situation.
However, he still did not agree with the actions of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate, stating, "Transcendence requires an unwavering Dao heart. Since ancient times, those who have pioneered new paths all possessed a belief that would not falter even under the threat of a hundred deaths.
But you, afraid of death, unwilling to take responsibility, only seeking survival, no matter how long you accumulate, you have no possibility of transcendence."
The Supreme Heavenly Venerate shook his head without saying anything, merely unfolding his palm to reveal a jade disc.
"What you seek is here, the highest secret of the Heavenly Court, the 'Purple Mansion Immortal Extreme Secret Record' that even the Demon Saint has not seen."
Seeing this, a divine light exploded in the eyes of the God Emperor Haotian. In fact, even during the recent debate and battle, he had been scanning the contents of the Jade Dishware in the Great Library, just never finding what he sought.
Unexpectedly seeing the Supreme Heavenly Venerate toss the jade dish, the God Emperor Haotian cautiously swept it with primordial spirit power, reading its contents, becoming more and more astonished the more he read.
"How could it be... wrong... all wrong..."
The God Emperor Haotian suddenly raised his head, staring at the Supreme Heavenly Venerate, "Is this your forgery?"
The Supreme Heavenly Venerate replied indifferently, "What do you think?"
The God Emperor Haotian fiercely shook his head, "Impossible... this... this is illogical..."
The Supreme Heavenly Venerate casually said, "Stories must be logical, but the universe doesn't need to be logical, and the Heavenly Dao is the least logical existence in the universe." Having said that, he looked up at the sky and softly said, "If you don't stop now, you'll completely Dao-transform and distort."
...
With the Great Library's changes in the mind of the God Emperor Haotian, a dramatic shift occurred in the battle within Upper Clear Heaven.
Sediment and rivers gathered, forming a massive sphere floating in mid-air, orbiting a blazing fireball.
Atmosphere, rivers, mountains, and vegetation gradually emerged on the giant rock, like a real planet, gradually perfecting its ecological environment. The entire space seemed to submit to the same will, law, and rule, no longer as chaotic as before.
The Golden Mother Primordial Lord's gaze sharpened, judging, "The law of all things is determined, the outcome is clear."
...
Ten days later, outside Mars' atmosphere.
"This is Mars, huh." Christina sighed in her consciousness sea, "Looks so ugly."
Elsa gazed blissfully in Mars' direction, feeling sheer happiness at not having any classes.
Christina reminded Zhou Bai, "Zhou Bai, be careful of these Heavenly Demons, these guys are tricky and deceitful; don't easily trust them."
Zhou Bai responded in his consciousness sea, "Don't worry, if I don't deceive them, they should consider it a blessing; how could it be their turn to deceive me?"
Staring in surprise at the reflection off Mars from the observation cabin, Zhou Bai said, "Why does Mars look so reflective? Look over there, it seems like it's bitten by a dog."
Em, standing beside Zhou Bai, remarked, "It's because the God Emperor Haotian came to stew it, took a bite before leaving."
Zhou Bai, stunned, asked, "The God Emperor Haotian was here?"
Em nodded, "Don't mention it, when he came, he was boasting about wiping us out, but scared off with just a few words."
The Heavenly Demon Queen's voice replaced Em's, continuing, "Because of the God Emperor Haotian's threat, we are even more eager for you to come, inherit the Homo sapiens' legacy, and prevent this place from being utterly devastated by the God Emperor Haotian."
Zhou Bai said, "Now can you tell me what the so-called legacy is?"
The Heavenly Demon Queen said, "The remnants of Homo sapiens left behind a plan, which was to download all human consciousness in the Heavenly Demon Pool into the pureblood Spiritual People's carriers, to allow Homo sapiens' souls to be reborn in the flesh of Spiritual People."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Bai's heart leaped, feeling this plan was incredibly insane, yet not entirely impossible.
However, would the human consciousness downloaded from the database still be considered the original person?
Thinking of this, Zhou Bai's mind was filled with countless thoughts.
After a long while, he slowly asked, "At what stage is this plan now?"
The Heavenly Demon Queen said, "The testing phase is already entirely complete."
Zhou Bai's heart sank, "Testing?"
The Heavenly Demon Queen said, "You should understand, a plan of this magnitude cannot lack a testing phase, but the issue lies within the testing phase."
Zhou Bai, coldly, "Give me all the information."
A moment later, a large amount of information was transferred from the Heavenly Demon's database to Zhou Bai's mechanical host, and as he quickly browsed through the content, his expression became increasingly complex.
