Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 377 - 376 people colluding?

Listening to what the Heavenly Demon King said, Zhou Bai's brow furrowed as his mind began to race.

Christina said, "If what Ai said is true, why didn't he tell other humans? Wouldn't this easily cause conflict between the Heavenly Court and humans?"

Zhou Bai replied, "Perhaps he did tell them, but nobody believed him. Maybe the Heavenly Court suppressed the news… Or perhaps, the Heavenly Demon and the Heavenly Court have some kind of understanding? Maybe even a collaboration?"

Christina asked, "What are you going to do next?"

Zhou Bai said, "I'm not really deviant, so I'll still fight the Heavenly Demon and save humanity. As for matters concerning the Heavenly Court, we can look into it later after investigating properly."

Having settled on a course of action in his mind, Zhou Bai locked eyes with the Heavenly Demon King and offered a faint smile, "You don't need to tell me this; I understand it myself. There's no place for me in human society, and the Heavenly Court looks down on humans even more, so of course the Heavenly Demon is my best support."

Ai laughed, "It's best that you think this way. I also took the liberty of informing the humans about this, so that you can rest assured and strive well on our side."

Zhou Bai was taken aback for a moment, not immediately catching on to the underlying meaning of the other party's words, but then he saw the scene in front of him change, revealing the scenery of West Mountain City.

Several Heavenly Demons flew over West Mountain City, shooting rays of light from their mouths that formed holographic images, displaying Zhou Bai as he had just spoken.

Watching his own words and appearance being replayed above West Mountain City, Zhou Bai felt a slight sinking feeling in his heart.

Christina exclaimed, "What are we going to do, Zhou Bai! The whole city now sees you as a traitor!"

At first, Zhou Bai was also a bit nervous, but looking at the Heavenly Demon King, the Black Tortoise, and Wei Cang staring at him, he quickly regained his usual expression. To Christina in the Sea of Consciousness, he said, "Don't worry, once I thwart this operation, they naturally won't know that I'm the mole."

Ai spoke, "Zhou Bai, you won't blame me for taking the initiative, will you? I want you to completely sever ties with your human past, after all, there's no room for coexistence between you and humans, I'm doing this for your own good."

While Zhou Bai contemplated the reaction he most needed to display, he recalled his own past behavior. He showed a hint of a cold smile but remained silent, seemingly very annoyed that the other party had done this.

Ai continued, "I know you're somewhat angry with me for doing this, after all, your former companions and teachers are on the human side. But sooner or later, you'll understand the irreconcilable conflicts between you and them. The sooner you cut off your ties with them, the better for you."

Then Ai stopped paying attention to Zhou Bai, and after discussing the experimental arrangements and the direction of the war with the Black Tortoise and Wei Cang, he completely severed the connection.

The Black Tortoise moved up beside Zhou Bai, looking at him with some concern, "Are you alright?"

Zhou Bai shook his head and sighed, "Is there really no way for deviants and humans to coexist peacefully?"

The Black Tortoise shook her head, "The birth of deviants originates from the madness and distortion of humans. Deviants signify the death of their former selves, the loss of memories, the change of emotions, and even the inability to preserve the rationality that humans are proud of... Do you think they will accept us?"

Zhou Bai carefully observed the behavior of the Black Tortoise and Wei Cang while considering his own movements, expressions, and words to make sure they looked natural and unproblematic.

Looking somewhat helpless, Zhou Bai said, "Maybe so, but it still feels painful. Do we really have to breach West Mountain City?"

The Black Tortoise patted Zhou Bai's shoulder, "I understand your feelings, Zhou Bai. It will get better with time. Don't worry too much about West Mountain City, go and get some rest."

Zhou Bai nodded but said, "I'll stay by your side. You're the only other deviant with reason apart from me. I feel safe with you."

The Black Tortoise smiled and looked at Zhou Bai. Suddenly, she stepped forward and embraced him, "Zhou Bai, we are lives abandoned by humans, by the Heavenly Court. We are special existences among deviants. I will always stand by your side, just think of me as family."

Feeling each snake tail wrap around his body, the Black Tortoise's hand gently pressed against his chest. For a moment, Zhou Bai's heart softened, and he thought of little Pei from his past.

But he quickly hardened his heart again. He put his arms around the Black Tortoise, thinking to himself, 'I'm sorry, Black Tortoise, but I must save the two billion humans in West Mountain City.'

The Black Tortoise stroked Zhou Bai's head, and the feeling of loneliness in her heart gradually began to fade away. At last, there was another intelligent deviant in this world. She couldn't help but smile, whispering softly in her heart, 'Family...'

Next, Zhou Bai let Christina take control of his physical body to closely follow the Black Tortoise. Under the Black Tortoise's pressure, he cultivated the Dharma Saint Relics and quickly practiced the power of the Primordial Spirit for the upcoming assault.

He wanted to use the shortest amount of time to raise his Primordial Spirit power from 4375 to the current limit of 4775, in preparation for his subsequent actions.

As Zhou Bai resumed cultivating the Dharma Saint Relics, streams of pure energy continuously flowed from the relics, immersing into Zhou Bai's Sea of Consciousness, enshrouding his Primordial Spirit like clumps of clouds.

The Primordial Spirit opened its mouth and breathed as if it were a living person, inhaling and exhaling the clouds. With each breath, Zhou Bai could feel his Primordial Spirit become a bit tighter, a bit stronger. His Primordial Spirit power steadily increased, becoming more potent, and the accumulation of strength became deeper.

...

While Zhou Bai prepared, West Mountain City was once again thrown into turmoil by the images broadcasted over the city.

Countless citizens looked at the scenes in the sky with expressions of anger, worry, panic, and tension.

"Damn traitor, siding with the Heavenly Demon!"

"Someone has sided with the Heavenly Demon?"

"The Heavenly Demon is really accepting surrenders now?"

Meanwhile, turmoil was brewing among the cultivators. Not everyone recognized Zhou Bai at first, but as those who did began to reveal his identity, a shadow fell over all of their hearts.

If even the number one student from the school tournaments had defected to the Heavenly Demon, then how many others within West Mountain City had sided with the Heavenly Demon?

Some were filled with anger, but others began to doubt.

Amidst various suspicions and conflicts, immense pressure also bore down on Dao School.

"Zhou Bai would never side with the Heavenly Demon," Ying Hui declared firmly. "I know this child; he's not that kind of person."

Yun Chong replied, "But he's indeed nowhere to be found in West Mountain City, even Qian Wangsun, who was with him, has vanished."
