Just as the man, cat, and dog were pushing responsibilities onto each other about who should go down to conquer the Holy City, a crowd of people came running out from the city.

The Divine Child, Zhou Bai, stood at the forefront, kneeling directly towards the sky, exclaiming: "The New God has arrived! Everyone, join me in welcoming the New God!"

"Isn't the god supposed to be spherical?"

"Does the god look just like us?"

Other people began to question one by one, but then Zhou Bai clapped his hands, creating a palm mark more than a hundred meters long on the ground, and all the questioning crowds immediately knelt down.

"Oh God! This is the true deity!"

"The one we believed in before was a false god!"

"Oh God! Please allow us to follow you!"

Watching as the people inside and outside the Holy City kneeled one after another, surrendering directly, Zhou Bai was not surprised at all; he already knew how fickle the people in this experimental zone were and how skilled they were at surrendering.

Zhou Bai descended in front of the Divine Child Zhou Bai and casually asked: "Are you the leader here?"

The Divine Child Zhou Bai nodded and said piously: "My God, I am willing to obey your commands."

Thus, Zhou Bai inquired about the situation inside the city, and upon hearing that the honorific title within the city was Zhou Bai, his face turned rather peculiar.

"What kind of joke is this?"

Although he had a bad premonition, Zhou Bai followed the Divine Child Zhou Bai's introduction and came to the ruins beneath the Holy City.

Looking at the metal corridors before him, along with the various mechanical devices collapsed within, Zhou Bai's eyes lit up:

"Could these be the devices left behind by the Heavenly Demons before? Were these devices cracked by the experimental subjects using permissions and exploits? When the Heavenly Demon withdrew, perhaps they didn't have time to take these things with them, so they just cut off the network?"

He followed the Divine Child Zhou Bai all the way to the deepest part of the ruins, where he saw the most well-preserved robot and a large door.

The Divine Child Zhou Bai looked devoutly at Zhou Bai and introduced: "No one has ever been able to open this door, and legend has it that the door leads to another world."

Zhou Bai neither agreed nor disagreed, directly using his Primordial Spirit force to crash open the door with a bang, revealing rows upon rows of dense cultivation pods beyond the door as far as the eye could see.

All the cultivation pods contained humans of varying appearances, genders, and ages.

However, most of the cultivation pods had completely failed, and the people inside had long been dead.

'Cloned Spiritual People? Is it about transferring the consciousness of Homo sapiens into these humans?'

Seeing this scene, Zhou Bai was slightly stunned, then spat out his mechanical familiars. As lines of cables plugged into the base, Zhou Bai connected the entire ruins to his network, and a massive amount of data converged before him for him to observe.

The situation inside seemed not much different from what the Heavenly Demon Queen had described, but upon seeing the consciousness injection records, Zhou Bai furrowed his brow: "Only the first phase used criminals, after the second phase, they were not criminals at all, and the Heavenly Demon had passed on their Taoist skills to them, which was the consciousness algorithm used by the Heavenly Demon Queen…"

The data of the second phase into which consciousness was invested showed that they were elites from various fields of humanity, and after their consciousness algorithms were copied, they were invested into these Spiritual People.

"Was the intention to let these elites adapt to the bodies of the Spiritual People, and then practice Taoist skills to decipher the secrets of the Taoist skills?"

Just as Zhou Bai was contemplating this, the records he saw afterward startled him again.

"Wait, this Zhou Bai, who does it refer to..."

After glancing at it for a bit, the Primordial Spirit force inside Zhou Bai exploded, causing a raging torrent of air to crackle and explode all around him.

The Divine Child Zhou Bai immediately shouted: "Oh God! Did we do something wrong? Are you going to punish us?"

Zhou Bai looked at the Divine Child Zhou Bai in front of him with a pained expression, recalling the log records he had just seen.

In the human experiments of the Heavenly Demon, only the first phase had used numerous copies of criminal consciousness algorithms, but these criminals were hard to discipline, or they were extremely sly, with an average intelligence level that was very low, and their average progress in practicing Taoist skills was akin to the pace of a tortoise.

Therefore, the Heavenly Demons cleared out all the copies of criminals and then initiated the second phase of the experiment.

In the second phase of the experiment, after the elite's copied consciousness was invested into the experimental zone, they quickly organized themselves and, in cases where food was sufficient, they lived steadily, cooperating together to practice the Taoist skills materials issued by the Heavenly Demon.

However, although they knew how to cooperate and coexist, and their average intelligence was high, their progress in Taoist skills was still slow. It was at this point that the Heavenly Demons, through these two phases of experiments, began to realize that Taoist skill cultivation did not rely purely on intelligence but had some other 'aptitude criteria'.

Thus, after the third phase of experiments, the Heavenly Demons decided to invest some simulated consciousness algorithms of spiritual cultivation prodigies.

They simulated a massive amount of consciousness algorithms of human geniuses on Earth and invested them into the experimental zone, including the simulated behavior of Zhou Bai's consciousness algorithm.

On average, each prodigy copied a thousand versions, all invested into the experimental zone.

Then chaos began. If the elite Homo sapiens and spiritual cultivation prodigies still progressed in an orderly manner, seriously practicing the Taoist skills under the management of the Heavenly Demons, then a thousand Zhou Bai were like a thousand madmen.

Some Zhou Bai slept all day, willing to die rather than cultivate.

Some Zhou Bai attacked others every day, taking pleasure in combat.

Some Zhou Bai started forming gangs with other Zhou Bai, seeking to rule the experimental zone.

Others began collecting garbage, preferring to live in trash piles, with no one knowing what they were up to.

The entire experimental zone began to become chaotic, and a large number of experimental subjects died in inexplicable struggles.

In short, various situations emerged, making it difficult for the Heavenly Demons to continue the experiment. They thought Zhou Bai's memories led to the imperfections in the simulation algorithm, resulting in various bugs.

Therefore, in the fourth phase of the experiment, they began trying to erase Zhou Bai's memories, keeping only the most basic consciousness algorithms invested.

This caused each Zhou Bai to become different, and each Zhou Bai became unique due to their own experiences.

But generally speaking, most of Zhou Bai's performance was very ordinary, and in terms of the cultivation of Taoist skills too, it was no different from the average level of the previous phases.

But there were always some of Zhou Bai who displayed extraordinary flair.

In the fourth phase of the experiment, number 7079 Zhou Bai ate his own feces every day, but awakened the power of the Primordial Spirit on the first day, broke through the Transformational Degree on the tenth day, and then suddenly hung himself to death.

"Damn it, this is utter nonsense," Zhou Bai cursed, "Is this all a load of bullshit?"

In the fourth phase of the experiment, number 5411 Zhou Bai enjoyed snatching anything belonging to other Zhou Bai, and through unknown means, connected all Zhou Bai, triggering an upheaval in the experimental zone, leading to the early termination of the fourth phase of the experiment.

In the fifth phase of the experiment, number 1111 Zhou Bai underwent a mutation immediately after training in Taoist skills, gaining the ability to traverse the void. It was from him that the Heavenly Demons obtained part of the technology for creating Em.

The fifth phase's number 9876 Zhou Bai reached the lowest limit of wisdom of any replication, eventually suffocating to death after forgetting to breathe.

Looking at this record, Zhou Bai was infuriated: "What is the point of recording this at all!"

But in conclusion, some anomalous Zhou Bai piqued the interest of the Heavenly Demons, as it seemed that as long as the numbers were large enough, the replicated Zhou Bai would produce some interesting lunatics for the Heavenly Demons to glean some rewards.

Moreover, the more chaotic the environment, the greater the proportion of anomalous Zhou Bai born.

Thus, in the sixth phase, the Heavenly Demons outright copied a hundred thousand Zhou Bai and poured them into the experimental zone at once, and as they planned to slowly spread the Taoist skills… everything spiraled out of control.

Some Zhou Bai cracked the permission loopholes of the Heavenly Demons, directly controlled the entire experimental zone, and nearly broke through to the direction of the Heavenly Demon Pool to erase the Homo sapiens consciousness algorithm of the entire Heavenly Demon Pool.

Faced with the inability to eliminate the permission loophole, the Heavenly Demons chose to close and disconnect it.

Just as Zhou Bai was halfway through, a commotion broke out, and the new General Zhou Bai rushed in and shouted: "It's bad, those criminals who came with me are starting to steal our food outside!"

At this moment, the entire city had become cramped due to the gathering of a hundred thousand Zhou Bai, with frequent occurrences of robbery, fighting, and arguing.

Unknowingly started by which Zhou Bai, the hundred thousand people who descended upon the Holy City, adopting the stance of victors, turned into mobs, beginning to loot the entire Holy City, sparking a massive riot.
