CHAPTER 1104: CHAPTER 1102: OUT OF CONTROL

On the first day, everything was still within controllable limits.

Whether it was Immortals, humans, monsters, or intelligent beings in the virtual world, no one noticed that the world had quietly changed.

However, when the technologies of the Heavenly Demon, Immortal Paths, and the Nine Catastrophes of Heaven and Man began to merge, the whole world seemed to be mounted on an accelerator.

Just as prehistoric creatures thousands of years ago could not comprehend the efficiency of modern humans.

At this moment, all life forms on Earth could not understand Zhou Bai’s current development speed.

A week later, Zhou Bai’s numbers increased a hundredfold. The Stellar Engine, based on the principle of the Heavenly God Emperor Tribulation, and the Curvature Engine were put into use, starting upgrades on the followers of Zhou Bai.

On Earth, the Heavenly Deform Sea had already expanded to cover thousands of square kilometers around East Hua City and had entered the Pacific Ocean, starting to devour and replace the ocean...

The ocean was the true target of the Heavenly Deform Sea. Compared to land, the ocean, as the home of countless Earth lifeforms, was more suitable for the Heavenly Deform Sea’s consumption. Regardless of the elemental composition of seawater or its vertical structure, its expansion speed was several times that of land.

On the 30th day after the Heavenly Deform Sea entered the Pacific, the entire Pacific Ocean had turned pitch black.

Innumerable aberrant lifeforms roared, struggled, and fought among themselves within it, turning the Pacific into a breeding ground for aberrants, constantly eroding towards other oceans.

On Mars, artificial Constant Star Cells were already deployed on every follower of Zhou Bai. The third-generation Curvature Engine enabled each of them to possess the ability to traverse space. The new generation of followers adopted a flattened structure, capable of arbitrary combinations, reassembling, mutually consuming each other to combine various Heavenly and Man Nine Catastrophes abilities...

The exact number of Zhou Bai had exceeded one trillion, and Mars was riddled with massive craters and gaps, as if someone had taken huge bites out of it...

...

Forty days after Zhou Bai’s rapid expansion.

At the position of Central City’s heavenly palace, the Ghost Slayer looked towards the horizon’s black tide and frowned, "What is that thing?"

He flew over to check and found a large patch of black tide devouring a mountain peak and rapidly expanding, even spawning aberrants.

Directly pointing with his sword hand, the Ghost Slayer slashed with a sword forged from purple aura light, evaporating vast swathes of the black tide.

Curious about what its origin was, he took a sample back for research.

But by the next day, he found the land around Central City littered with pits of black water, devouring rock layers everywhere, seemingly alive.

The Ghost Slayer informed other Immortals about his discoveries. He and the Four Immortal Lords joined forces, directly using their mighty cultivation to clear away the black water within a thousand miles radius, discovering that it came from underground.

"Since when did Earth have these things?" The Ghost Slayer pondered, speculating, "Could there be some kind of distortion underground?"

"Great Spirit Officer, this black tide is extremely peculiar; it seems capable of devouring everything, growing itself, and even nurturing aberrants..."

They reported the matter to the Dutian Great Spirit Officer, but the latter paid it no mind, merely instructing them to guard the heavenly palace gates closely and continuing his secluded cultivation.

The Ghost Slayer felt uneasy about the black water, intending to assemble a team of Immortals the next day to investigate the underground situation.

But by the third day, the surface was once again covered with black water, gushing out from underground, engulfing mountains, filling valleys, polluting rivers, and dyeing the entire world black bit by bit.

By this point, the Dutian Great Spirit Officer also realized something was amiss, delving deeper to find out the source of the black water.

Upon doing so, he discovered the underground black water seemed endless, bottomless, with relentless streams in every direction, unable to discern where the black water was originating from.

...

Forty-five days after Zhou Bai’s expansion.

In outer space, countless mixed-blood humans were being transported to the ships, watching Earth drift further away from them through screens or windows, faces etched with panic, tension, fear...

At this moment, Earth appeared to have turned into a pitch-black mass, the entire planet having become a liquid sphere of pure black water, lifeless, completely silent, as if it were merging with the surrounding cosmic vacuum.

Occasionally, one could see massive tentacles, or eyeballs, or palms extending from the black surface, rising into the tens of thousands of meters high sky, as if something in the unfathomable black sea was watching them.

...

Ninety-two days after Zhou Bai’s expansion, the perpetually closed gates of Supreme Heaven slowly opened.

Witnessing this scene, the Dutian Great Spirit Officer roared and charged in, instantly entering. His Primordial Spirit force spread insane and fearful voices throughout Yun Kong.

"Close the door! Close the door! Close it immediately!"

"Don’t go out! Don’t go out! Don’t go out!"

But his madness did not earn heaven’s trust. He was soon restrained by Li Tai and several top-ranked deities and escorted to Supreme Purity Heaven for interrogation.

Looking at the disheveled and insane-looking Great Spirit Officer, Li Tai questioned, "What happened?"

The Great Spirit Officer trembled, saying, "At first, we only saw a few lakes on the surface... But in a few days, they proliferated everywhere... everywhere... everywhere..."

He suddenly froze, his expression turning grim, "Deliberately... It let me in deliberately..."

He began to laugh uncontrollably, "Everyone is going to die; you all came out too late."

A day later, the Great Spirit Officer committed Primordial Spirit suicide,

While Supreme Heaven quickly investigated the external situation, discovering the entire Earth had turned into a black water sphere, with all Immortals, humans, and monsters gone, instead, the black ocean teemed with myriad aberrations.

Heavenly Courts couldn’t comprehend what was going on, with various analyses, studies, and speculations continuously replaying.

Just three hours after Heavenly Courts began probing Earth’s situation, a large number of Zhou Bai followers appeared at the gateway’s location.

Hundreds of Zhou Bai screamed and wailed as they were placed onto the gateway by other Zhou Bai.

The anti-matter engines within them roared to life, triggering a mass collision of spiritual mechanisms at light speed. One by one, space bubbles covered the gateway, stabilizing the entire gateway, then expanding rapidly to prevent Supreme Heaven from closing it again.

Then the remaining Zhou Bai surged like a torrent, flooding into Supreme Heaven alongside the Heavenly Deform Sea.

War erupted without any warning. Countless Zhou Bai cheered, cursed, and fought each other as they poured in, spreading through Supreme Heaven like a virus within the Heavenly Deform Sea, directly extending throughout all of Supreme Heaven.
