Seeing the woman in palace attire before him, Zhou Bai wasn't surprised at all, given that the situation with the cat and the dog had always been under his surveillance.

Looking at the woman before him, Zhou Bai calmly said, "Are you here to stop me?"

Christina didn't speak. Instead, she formed a hand seal, and suddenly, a thousand-foot-high brilliance erupted from her body, enveloping everything around her.

Shrouded in the light, Zhou Bai let out a muffled groan, surprised, "You can control the Nine Disasters of the Heavenly Person?"

The woman in palace attire said calmly, "The Nine Disasters of the Heavenly Person is an auxiliary cultivation system, and since it's an auxiliary cultivation system, there naturally is a method to control it. The system I gave you can naturally be taken back."

As she spoke, void gaps opened up behind Zhou Bai, and pale hands reached out from within, directly grabbing his limbs, shoulders, neck, head... firmly fixing him in place.

At the same time, Zhou Bai sensed that the template of the Nine Disasters of the Heavenly Person was gradually turning gray, as if none of the abilities of the Nine Disasters could be used.

Zhou Bai asked in surprise, "You sealed the system?"

The woman in palace attire didn't speak, or perhaps she simply didn't want to speak to Zhou Bai before her.

She just flashed into a beam of light that appeared beside Zhou Bai, then transformed back into human form, pressing a palm onto Zhou Bai's forehead, as a domineering consciousness directly invaded Zhou Bai's sea of consciousness.

"Don't resist, Zhou Bai. Before me, you don't stand a chance of resistance, not even a little."

Numerous scriptures and talismans emerged from Zhou Bai's mind, quickly wrapping around his entire body, sealing all his physical and Primordial Spirit powers.

Looking at Zhou Bai before her, Christina's gaze was filled with regret, "If you continue, you'll just walk down a path of immense regret.

"In the end, you've failed, Zhou Bai."

"But I'll help you finish the road that remains."

Listening to what Christina said, Zhou Bai struggled, "What do you mean? What exactly do you know?"

The woman in palace attire was changing a seal gesture while slowly extracting the Nine Disasters system from Zhou Bai's consciousness when her eyebrows suddenly raised, "No, this isn't the Nine Disasters of the Heavenly Person..."

As her thoughts changed, the surrounding scenery changed dramatically, transforming into a boundless ocean.

The woman in palace attire looked at all this in shock, her gaze icy cold, "Where is this?"

Zhou Bai's voice echoed through the heavens and the earth, "The virtual world I created for you."

The woman in palace attire said in disbelief, "Impossible, how could I come here?"

Zhou Bai said, "It's the ability of Yutu."

The woman in palace attire shook her head, "I know all the abilities of the Nine Disasters of the Heavenly Person, I have long been wary of you using this, using the Heavenly Person Communication Skill to perceive the Material World..."

Zhou Bai said calmly, "When I left Christina behind, I covered your entire body with nano-scale mechanical familiars. From the moment you awakened your memories, you fell within the capability coverage of Yutu, and everything you witnessed was just my deception to you."

The woman in palace attire felt a jolt in her heart upon hearing this, and after quickly deducing, she knew Zhou Bai's words were true. She said coldly, "You were deliberately waiting for me? Deliberately letting Christina cultivate the Original Dao Treasury? You guessed I would leave a backdoor in your Nine Disasters of the Heavenly Person system?"

"You let me think I had already succeeded just now, in order to extract information from me?"

Zhou Bai stated calmly, "This is one possibility among the ones I've deduced. To protect humanity and achieve world peace, neither I nor the Heavenly Demon Pool can be defeated by anyone, nor can we be controlled by any individual. That would be a tremendous threat to the universe."

The woman in palace attire sneered, "Do you know that you yourself are the greatest threat to this universe?"

Zhou Bai said quietly, "Your aversion to me is merely rooted in your ancient biological instincts, as well as your disadaptation to the new societal form of the future, a rejection of the drastic changes in your living environment."

"In fact, in my calculations, by having me plan the combined civilization of Spiritual People, Sapient People, and Heavenly Demons, the future of the entire civilization will be brighter. In no more than three years, there will be no famines, no crime, no war, resources will be greatly enriched, and everyone will be safer and freer than now."

"If society is entrusted to you to manage, there is a 99% chance you will end up going extinct through war, not even able to escape the solar system."

The woman in palace attire snorted, "Deduction is just deduction. The process of mental alienation you undergo will be far worse than you imagine."

"The future you rule, combined with the Heavenly Demon Pool, will be a cold, mechanical, hopeless future."

As the woman spoke, the boundless ocean transformed into blocks of mechanical cities, with countless Heavenly Demons flying back and forth, making the entire city look like a huge, precise machine operating.

Seeing this scene, the woman's expression changed slightly, "This virtual space changes according to my imagination? No wonder the scene I stripped the Nine Disasters of the Heavenly Person from you appeared before, you're trying to extract information through this method, right?"

Zhou Bai said calmly, "You said my ruled future is hopeless, then you can try to persuade me with the information you know."

"Currently, I can read the thoughts of all Sapient People, and in the Heavenly Demon Pool, billions of thoughts collide every moment."

"I have no obsessions, nor do I possess any flaws. As long as the information you provide has its significance, I will accept it."

The woman in palace attire sneered, "Do you want to know? Then look."

Accompanying the change in the woman's thoughts, a human city erupted in war appeared before them, with a large number of human users combining various immortal dao and Heavenly Demon technology weapons to fight against a mechanical army.

The woman's voice sounded, "Not all humans are willing to be ruled by you. Some people detest being monitored by another intelligent life at every moment and loathe being ruled by your will."

"More importantly, under your rule, in order to prevent the decay of social systems, all societal operations are entrusted to you alone."

Zhou Bai said, "I can develop all future technological advancements, deducing the changes in society, and making all decisions in a neutral and objective manner. There is nothing wrong with entrusting societal operations to me."

The woman in palace attire coldly remarked, "Your deductions are based on all the information you know, which is not 100% accurate."

The scene before them changed, showing a vast number of cultivation chambers covering an entire planet, containing all sorts of cloned humans.
