CHAPTER 1103: CHAPTER 1101: EVOLUTION

On Earth, the Heavenly Deform Sea beside Donghua City suddenly surged into the sky, swallowing the land like a tsunami.

Huge swathes of peaks, depressions, hills... were swallowed one by one by this black wave, and the entire Heavenly Deform Sea began to grow at an unimaginable speed.

One by one, Deformed Shadows leaped out of the waves, roaring and displaying their abilities, as if they were overturning rivers and seas, destroying heaven and earth.

But the next moment, they seemed to deflate like punctured balloons, with vast amounts of contamination being transmitted from their bodies to Mars.

...

On Mars, in the production line of outer space, one liquid robot after another with Zhou Bai’s appearance was being manufactured.

Their bodies were crafted from liquid metal, infused with portable nuclear fusion engines, equipped with the conventional weapons of the Heavenly Demons, and most crucially, each of them had Zhou Bai’s replicated consciousness inserted into them.

One could say each robot was essentially a new Zhou Bai.

The Deformed Shadow seemed to transform into two massive black Demon Gods, with black flames swirling around them, and black-mud-like Longevity Dao Fruits constantly dripped from them, merging into the manufactured robots, turning them into kin.

With Zhou Bai’s current state, almost no one could surpass him in the wisdom judgment of the Nine Disasters of Heaven and Humanity. Once they consumed the Longevity Dao Fruit, they would become his foolish kin and then be bestowed with a power of the Nine Disasters of Heaven and Humanity by Zhou Bai.

At that moment, Zuo Dao on Earth contacted Zhou Bai through the Heavenly Demon’s communication network: "Zhou Bai, that trash pool outside Donghua City has lost control, it’s madly devouring the land, constantly expanding..."

Zhou Bai responded: "Don’t worry, it’s not out of control; I’m the one controlling the Heavenly Deform Sea to expand."

Zuo Dao asked in confusion: "Why?"

Zhou Bai said calmly: "I need more resources for production. After careful consideration, I found that protecting Earth is meaningless. It will soon become a battlefield between me and the Celestial Court. Instead of letting the Earth be destroyed by then, it’s better to utilize the Earth’s resources as much as possible now..."

Zuo Dao, understanding the implications in Zhou Bai’s words, said in shock: "Are you going to completely abandon Earth?"

Zhou Bai explained: "It’s not that I’m actively abandoning it, but according to calculations, doing so has greater advantages. Abandoning Earth, and using spacecraft for interstellar migration directly." He continued: "I will also temporarily stop supplying you the Longevity Dao Fruits over there for now..."

Zuo Dao hadn’t even had time to be shocked by the situation with the Heavenly Deform Sea when he suddenly heard that the supply of Longevity Dao Fruits would also stop, and he exclaimed: "Why is that? We’re at a critical stage of development now..."

Zhou Bai monitored each replica Zhou Bai being created, watching them being mass-produced into kin, and responded blandly: "I’ve calculated a more efficient usage method. Doing so increases the probability of defeating the Celestial Court by more than 24%, and the duration of the war can be shortened by tenfold."

Zuo Dao hesitated and said: "Zhou Bai, are you okay? Why do I feel like something’s not right with you?"

Zhou Bai said blandly: "I’m fine."

Zuo Dao frowned and said: "But why do you sound so... calm?"

Zhou Bai’s gaze fluctuated slightly, instantly calculating the various possibilities before him.

If he told the truth, there was an 89% chance it would provoke the other’s opposition, even leading to violent conflict, affecting the ensuing plan.

If he comforted with a lie, there was a 99% chance of gaining the other’s trust, smoothly completing the ensuing deployment.

Zuo Dao’s psychological profile had been loaded, and the Heavenly Demon’s emotional simulation program also brought various suggestions.

Everything was accomplished in an instant within the Heavenly Demon Pool. From the outside, Zhou Bai’s gaze merely fluctuated a bit before he laughed and scolded: "You silly boy, what are you thinking? Hurry up and calm Jing Xiu and the others, I’ll get this sorted out quickly, and then I’ll resume the supply of Longevity Dao Fruits."

Hearing this familiar tone, Zuo Dao also laughed, feeling much more at ease, and after exchanging a few more words, they ended the communication, and Zhou Bai returned to his previous demeanor.

While Zhou Bai was conversing with Zuo Dao, most of his consciousness continued with his work.

One replica Zhou Bai after another was being commanded by the original Zhou Bai through the Heavenly Demon’s communication network.

These replica Zhou Bais were operating with their internal hardware, not allocated much processing power from the Heavenly Demon Pool, yet still retaining a lot of past cognitive characteristics.

They were seen noisily floating out of the factory, some shouting, some exchanging barbs after taking a few steps, and then tussling into a brawl.

After a while, one Zhou Bai suddenly self-destructed, blasting a whole group of Zhou Bais away, reassembling their bodies from liquid metal.

One replica Zhou Bai even flew into the air only to fall to the ground, lying down, unwilling to move.

There was even a replica Zhou Bai who began protesting against the original Zhou Bai’s tyrannical rule, clamoring for freedom.

But the next moment, with a series of commands from the communication network, these chaotic Zhou Bais screamed and then moved in uniform motion, joining the distant resource collection team.

From outer space, one could see large patches of black dots rising and falling in the Martian atmosphere. Layer after layer of rock and boulders were propelled into the sky, heading to the Heavenly Demon’s spacecraft and workstations in outer space.

The scene was like ants moving house, trying to gradually relocate all of Mars.

A vast number of replica Zhou Bais were continuously joining the work. Not only did they possess the power of the Heavenly Demon, but also due to their status as foolish kins, they were granted the abilities of the Nine Disasters of Heaven and Humanity, making them a mass-produced formidable force.

Apart from combat capabilities, many of their mechanical bodies were geared towards high-speed movement. Zhou Bai also endowed them with the ’Lazy’ ability from the Poor Chart, materializing laziness by selling substances, transferring the laziness values to Zhou Bai.

On Earth, within the Heavenly Deform Sea, the land was continuously swallowed, expanding. As its area grew larger, more material was devoured each second, and the expansion speed increased further.

As the Heavenly Deform Sea on Earth kept expanding, more and more Deformed Shadows emerged, extracting increasing levels of contamination.

With the continuous rise of contamination, more and more kin Zhou Bais were being manufactured on Mars.

And as more and more kin Zhou Bais appeared on Mars, the entire planet was continuously being sold, transferred, turned into new bodies for the kin Zhou Bais...

At this moment, Zhou Bai, was expanding at an unimaginable speed, and as the Heavenly Deform Sea enlarged and the kin Zhou Bais increased, his rate of expansion was still accelerating, faster... and faster... and faster...
