Calamity of Tomorrow
Chapter 1107 - 1105: Breakthrough
Hearing Christina's words, Elsa's gaze towards her immediately sharpened: "Sister Christina, why does it feel like you suddenly got a lot smarter, speaking in such profound terms."
Christina smirked disdainfully: "I've always been exceedingly wise, just usually too lazy to get serious with you all."
In her heart, she thought: "As my Dao normalization increases, my memories are returning more and more, indeed I do feel increasingly wise. Speaking of which, I recently memorized a few poems, alas... it's a pity I've never had the chance to recite them."
Elsa inquired again: "Then what method should we use to change Zhou Bai's thinking?"
Christina licked her paws, thinking as she licked, and finally said: "Ah... I can't think of anything."
Elsa rolled her eyes: "Then wasn't all that you said pointless?"
At that moment, four words suddenly appeared before Christina's eyes: "Cultivate Dao Repository."
"Huh? Why is there a line of words?"
"Elsa, did you see it, there's a line of words here."
But after calling out for a while, Christina realized that the line seemed to be projected onto her retina, only she could see it, Elsa beside her couldn't see it at all.
A moment later, the words disappeared, but Christina mumbled: "Cultivate Primordial Dao Repository, elevate the realm? Then become smarter? Could it be that by then through my wisdom, I'll find a way to save Zhou Bai and restore him to normal?"
"However, if the Dao normalization continues to increase, I'll recover more and more memories…"
Christina dazedly thought about her experiences of the past three years, waking up three years ago with almost no memories left.
In the past three years, she adventured with Zhou Bai, studied together at Dao School, fought against Heavenly Demons, infiltrated their base, participated in the Daluo Heaven debates, teamed up to defeat Xiang Tiandi, stormed the heavens together, and reached Mars…
And now, whether it's her personality, habits, or core memories, they are all accumulated over these past three years bit by bit.
She doesn't know if she will still be herself if the massive memories of the past 'Christina' awaken.
Christina suddenly remembered Zhou Bai entrusted the gemstone to her during the crazy clash with the heavens, for her to stop him at the last moment.
Unknowingly, she and Zhou Bai have become the most trusted partners for each other.
Christina thought to herself: "Didn't I agree back then to stop Zhou Bai from acting recklessly?"
"After all, I am, in a way, Zhou Bai's mentor, I can't watch this kid act impulsively."
Thinking of this, Christina looked at Elsa and said: "Bring out the Primordial Dao Repository, I want to cultivate, improve my wisdom."
Elsa opened her mouth and spat out the Primordial Dao Repository 07, but couldn't help but ask: "Tina, didn't you not want to cultivate this?"
Christina snorted. Previously, she had stopped cultivating because she was worried the memories would affect her current feline demeanor, Zhou Bai also supported her in that, telling her not to cultivate for now.
The reason she pondered so meticulously and thoroughly about Zhou Bai's change in thinking was that she herself had been contemplating the changes in her own memories during this period.
If a person is filled with a huge pile of memories, are they still themselves?
Christina knew she wasn't as smart as Zhou Bai or Qian Wangsun, so she thought long and hard about it, and finally believed it was a matter of degree.
And this time, following Zhou Bai in the experimental zone, seeing so many Zhou Bais, made her more certain of her view.
Even with the same consciousness, different experiences and memories can completely turn them into two different people.
A meal worth of memories might not matter, but ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years worth of memories later, two same Zhou Bais would become vastly different people.
"Will the awakened-memory me become another me, just like Zhou Bai connecting to the Heavenly Demon Pool becomes another Zhou Bai."
"But, I promised to stop Zhou Bai, after all, I was the one who led him down this path…"
Hearing this, Elsa worriedly said: "What if you become another person? If Zhou Bai could change back, he could surely use Gem Time Reversal to revert you back, right?"
Christina heard this, gave a wry smile, and said nothing. If Zhou Bai returned to normal, maybe he would.
But would she, with awakened memories, want to revert?
Christina shook her head, suppressing the distractions in her heart, her Primordial Spirit surged toward the Primordial Dao Repository 07, countless pieces of information, mysteries, and understandings of the Heavenly Dao continuously formed in her mind.
Her Dao normalization had already reached 69.9%, but because of reluctance, she hadn't reached 70%.
Now, with Christina's full force breakthrough, her Dao normalization struck past the 70% barrier heroically.
A vast amount of memories surged out from her sea of consciousness, Christina temporarily ignored these memories, biting her teeth and shouted: "Elsa, bring out the Primordial Dao Repository 08 as well."
The Primordial Spirit once again enveloped the Primordial Dao Repository 08 and started to visualize. This time, Christina felt her mind's memories rushing like floodgates opening, roaring, seemingly about to drown her.
"Meow!!"
A sudden premonition and fear surged within her heart, her Primordial Spirit forcefully rolled, struggling to grab Christina's small notebook, hastily writing something, yet halfway through, her body suddenly froze.
Elsa looked at Christina standing dazedly in place, not moving. After waiting a long while, she couldn't help but ask: "Sister Tina? Are you okay?"
Christina blinked, looked at her own body: "A cat body? Really nostalgic, but the human body is more convenient."
In the next moment, her form transformed amid radiant light, becoming a beautiful woman in palace attire.
The woman sparkled with light all over, seemingly on the edge between reality and illusion.
Hear her long sigh upon appearing: "Time flies, another cycle of reincarnation, but alas, the past three years were wasted."
Then she coldly eyed Elsa, frowned and said: "Who are you?"
A palpable chill and aloofness emanated from the woman, making Elsa feel a strong sense of unfamiliarity.
At this moment, Elsa could strongly feel that the Christina in front of her was no longer the past Christina.
Elsa said dumbfounded: "I'm Elsa, Tina, do you not remember me?"
She turned to look at Elsa in front of her, slightly narrowed her eyes to think, seemingly searching her memory, and then said: "Elsa, right? You just stay here and don't move."
With that, her form flashed and transformed into a pillar of light, shooting skyward, directly passing through the surrounding Sword Array and various defensive structures.
Elsa dumbly stared at the spot where the light disappeared, somewhat sadly saying: "The house cat is gone…"
She walked over to Christina's notebook that she last held, seeing scribbled words and paw prints hastily left behind.
On the other side, no flying swords or artillery fire could catch up with the light that Christina had become. When the light dissipated, she had used light-speed movement to instantly traverse half of Mars, appearing before Zhou Bai.
At this moment, Zhou Bai was surrounded by countless Heavenly Demons, enveloped by layer upon layer of Void Crown, countless electromagnetic lights flickered on his body, he himself becoming the center of all the Solar System's Heavenly Demons, perceiving the condition of the entire star system, iterating on the next step of his plan.
