Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 239 - 238 Secrets of the Heavenly Court

Zhou Bai planned to return to his dormitory first to activate the eighth star point, then go out to deal with the excrement.

Upon returning to the dormitory, after greeting Christina and Elsa, Zhou Bai lay on his bed and looked at the Taiyin Roulette in his sea of knowledge.

Wuqu - Drink Spirit: The body automatically breathes in the spiritual energy, supplementing the nutritional needs and strengthening the flesh, capable of going without food or drink for months.

Cultivation method: (Skipped)

Laziness (0/100,000)

Injecting 100,000 laziness points into the star point, the next moment Zhou Bai felt a sharp pain inside and out. Every bone, every muscle, and each organ seemed to have dense runes emerge on them.

After everything was over, these runes quietly disappeared, and Zhou Bai felt that with each breath he took, it seemed as if the air brought power into his body.

This was the power of Wuqu - Drink Spirit.

"Now I won’t die of hunger even if I don’t eat or drink."

Then Zhou Bai widened his eyes, looking forward with anticipation at the last star point of this layer.

Ugly Disaster: Activates the state of Ugly Disaster, rendering one unbearable to look at or sense, becoming more severe over time. Note: When ugliness reaches its peak, it is also a kind of power.

Cultivation method: (Skipped)

Laziness (0/110,000)

"Unbearable to look at, impossible to sense? Sounds pretty awesome." Zhou Bai thought for a moment, then recalled the previous outcomes of Lazy Disaster idling and Poverty Disaster borrowing, thinking that Ugly Disaster was probably not as simple as the introduction suggested.

This time Zhou Bai went out, intending to go directly to the underground sewage treatment center, but found that Principal Zhao Shouyi was unexpectedly waiting outside.

The moment he saw Zhao Shouyi, Zhou Bai’s hair stood on end, and he hurriedly said, "I haven’t followed Xiao Pei for several days! I was only following her because I wanted to cultivate together, I had no other intentions!"

Zhao Shouyi: "..."

Hearing Zhou Bai’s words, Zhao Shouyi was speechless and coughed twice, planning to pretend he hadn’t heard and went straight to the point, "Zhou Bai, I came today to talk to you about matters concerning the Heavenly Court."

Zhou Bai’s eyes brightened, "Let’s walk and talk. I’ve made an appointment to visit the sewage treatment plant today."

Zhao Shouyi nodded, walking beside Zhou Bai, and whispered, "Heavenly Court, has existed since ancient times, established by ascetic cultivators who achieved Ascension."

"It is said that at the very beginning, the purpose of establishing Heavenly Court was to protect humanity and combat various extraordinary beings. However, demons and weird beasts have long been conquered by humanity, either annihilated, subjugated, or domesticated. The ones scattered in the wilderness are not able to form a threat.

The only enemy of humanity now is the Heavenly Demon whose origin is unknown."

Zhou Bai felt a jolt in his heart, suddenly recalling what Christina had mentioned before: ’The Immortals and Gods are discussing whether to exterminate all demons or not? If by demons, they meant the extraordinary beings of the past, hadn’t humanity already conquered them? If they meant Heavenly Demons, then something felt off.’

Zhou Bai shook his head, temporarily casting aside the thoughts in his mind, and continued to listen to Zhao Shouyi.

Zhao Shouyi: "You know, Heavenly Dao is twisted, Dao School’s Hundred hasn’t appeared, and for over a hundred years no human has ascended to become an Immortal."

"The Immortal Gods, as the main force against the Heavenly Demon, have also gradually developed different ideas."

"Of course, before we discuss this, there is a secret I must tell you, that is the purpose of the Heavenly Demon."

"The purpose of the Heavenly Demon?" Zhou Bai’s eyes lit up with excitement. He had been at Dao School for so long, considering the Heavenly Demon as an enemy for so long, but to be honest, he still didn’t know the purpose of the Heavenly Demon, why they would attack humanity, kill humans.

Zhao Shouyi: "We still don’t know where the Heavenly Demon actually come from, we only know the first place they were discovered was on Yinghuo Star."

"Yinghuo Star?" Zhou Bai was shocked. Although modern humans hardly studied various physical and chemical subjects, some basic knowledge was still known.

For example, the concept of planets, the concept of the solar system, etc...

And Yinghuo was Mars.

Zhou Bai had never imagined that the Heavenly Demon would be discovered on Mars.

Zhao Shouyi spoke again on the other side: "It was an Immortal who first discovered them; at that time, they had already occupied a quarter of the land on the surface of Yinghuo Star, and they chose to attack upon discovering the existence of the Immortal. To this day, the main force of the Heavenly Demon is still entrenched on Yinghuo Star."

Zhou Bai’s eyes suddenly shone: ’Dr. Zhuang once said that there is another battlefield, could it be on Yinghuo Star?’

"Actually, even before Heavenly Dao became twisted, at the beginning of the battle with the Heavenly Demon, we tried to communicate with them, but this attempt failed from the start. The Heavenly Demon... they would kill any intelligent life that appeared in front of them."

"Only recently did they start to accept human surrenders, turning humans into Heavenly Demons."

Both being cultivators, they sped along and soon arrived at the underground sewage treatment plant.

Seeing Zhou Bai familiarly walking in, Zhao Shouyi said, "Let’s finish talking outside before going in."

Zhou Bai waved his hand, "That won’t do, I need to use my time wisely. Teacher Ying Hui only allows me to burn for six hours every day, and after burning, I need to go back for breakfast and class."

Zhou Bai: "Principal, you talk while I burn."

Zhao Shouyi: "You want to talk to me while burning excrement?"

Zhou Bai: "Principal, don’t look down on burning excrement, okay? This is also contributing to Donghua City. The pollution situation within the city is very serious now, and the pressure from daily sewage discharge is significant. The workers here all tell me that my daily incineration is a great help to them."

Zhao Shouyi inwardly resigned himself, constantly reminding himself: "Don’t argue with him, he’s sick."

"Don’t show any strange expressions."

"Just think about his chance to learn Tianhe Star Explosion."

So Zhao Shouyi helplessly followed Zhou Bai, watching him burn excrement while standing aside and continuing to whisper, "After the initial battles, we observed and understood some basic facts about the Heavenly Demon through various methods."

"They possess intelligence, even higher than that of the vast majority of humans."

"But their goal is to kill all intelligent life; we still don’t know why they want to do this."

"It’s only recently that they started accepting human surrenders and transforming humans into Heavenly Demons."

Zhao Shouyi shook his head: "Faced with such Heavenly Demons, the attitudes of the Immortal Gods naturally vary, but in general, they are divided into two factions - Immortal and God..."

As Zhao Shouyi elaborated, Zhou Bai’s understanding of the situation of Heavenly Court became increasingly clear.

The righteous gods of Heavenly Court, with Haotian God Emperor at the lead, commanding four divisions and four armies, are the strongest force of Heavenly Court.

The group of Heavenly Court Immortals, headed by Supreme Heavenly Venerate, can command many immortals without divine positions in Heavenly Court, and are the second most powerful force.
