The woman in palace attire said, "To achieve one hundred percent accuracy, you began creating aberrant bodies and Artificial Demons, hoping to gain foresight abilities similar to Qian Wangsun's."

Zhou Bai said indifferently, "Aberrant bodies and Artificial Demons have no human rights; they're merely clones. If their sacrifice can allow human society to foresee the future, then it's all worth it."

The woman in palace attire sneered, "But Bai Ze's foresight ability can only be possessed by one person per generation, so you ended up capturing Qian Wangsun to use his foresight ability."

"Qian Wangsun did not accept you wielding the foresight ability, so he began to resist, and then a civil war broke out."

The scene before them changed dramatically, revealing vast swathes of starry skies flashing with explosions, countless ships and machines turning into clusters of sparks, and one interstellar battle after another unfolding.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Bai quietly said, "If the future can be accurately predicted, then civilization can stand at the pinnacle of the universe.

I can prevent every natural disaster, stop every crime, save every accidental death, and defeat every foreign enemy.

I can ensure the safety and happiness of all of civilization."

"If sacrificing Qian Wangsun's freedom for this purpose is necessary, it is not unacceptable."

The woman in palace attire coldly said, "Many died in the civil war, but in the end, you won. However, this civil war sowed the seeds of hatred."

At the very center of a planet, Qian Wangsun lay asleep at the bottom of a nutrient pool, his body connected to countless nodes, continuously operating his ability.

"To prevent future civil wars, you used your foresight ability to identify everyone who wanted to oppose you, then brainwashed them through virtual network information shock."

The scene showed one human after another falling into the virtual network, their consciousness directly altered.

Zhou Bai said, "Having altered consciousness is better than a civil war. Once war erupts, tens of thousands will die, but at least now they are all alive."

The woman in palace attire followed up with a sneer, "Your companions also began to oppose you, Zuo Dao, Jing Xiu, Ying Hui..."

Zuo Dao roared as he rushed at Zhou Bai, yet his body was immediately restrained, as Zhou Bai touched his forehead with a finger. The anger in his eyes gradually faded, and he retreated with a cold expression, obeying all of Zhou Bai's orders.

Ying Hui questioned Zhou Bai, causing a strong reaction in society. Crime rates began to rise, and some started to resist Zhou Bai's rule, forcing Zhou Bai to rewrite Ying Hui's thoughts, making him retract his previous remarks to ease social tension.

Jing Xiu, with a large group, attempted to escape in a spaceship, but Zhou Bai intercepted their escape, capturing most of them. However, Jing Xiu, along with the last remaining people, self-destructed the spaceship, but Zhou Bai saved her at the last moment, cloning and reconstructing her body.

She stood like a puppet on the street Zhou Bai prepared for her. She woke up at 8 AM every day, started work at 9 AM, enjoyed a nutritious meal prepared by cafeteria robots at 12 PM, and finished work at 5 PM, collecting another meal from the cafeteria before leaving.

She went home to read books and practiced dao techniques until going to sleep at 11 PM.

The scene showed Jing Xiu completing a full day, lying in bed at night with her eyes closed, a tear of happiness rolling down her cheek.

As the woman in palace attire spoke, familiar figures appeared in front of them, all of whom had their thoughts altered for opposing Zhou Bai. Some were apathetic, some worshipped Zhou Bai with fanatical zeal, and others lived like walking dead.

The woman in palace attire, as if both saddened and sighing, said, "You have to admit, the adaptability of humans is incredibly strong. As long as they can survive, most won't resist. Moreover, most indeed live quite well under your rule."

After decades of transformation, the opposition sentiment across society was abolished, and the new generation gradually adapted to operate under Zhou Bai's will.

They woke up every morning and worked according to Zhou Bai's assigned plans.

The food they ate was specially prepared to cater to their tastes and meet their nutritional needs.

They would never encounter car accidents, natural disasters, forget anything, or die unexpectedly. Not even a sudden torrential rain would catch them off guard because you have long since foreseen and arranged the weather.

Listening to the woman in palace attire, Zhou Bai questioned, "What's wrong with that? According to my calculations, in such a life, no one would go hungry, accidentally die, commit crimes, face war, or disease..."

"Listen to what you're saying?" The woman in palace attire bitterly smiled, "That's the problem. Data is just data; behind every cold statistic, there are countless vivid consciousnesses. Yet after merging with the Heavenly Demon Pool, you don't even realize it's a problem."

"The civilization you've constructed is no longer human civilization but Zhou Bai civilization, one centered around you, with humans as mere appendages of this civilization."

"In fact, in this civilization, all humans have surrendered, been tamed by you, and the only one who knows to resist is what's left of you."

Zhou Bai's voice finally showed slight surprise. In an instant, calculations from the woman's words revealed various possibilities.

"Zhou Bai resisting Zhou Bai, what does that mean?"

The woman in palace attire answered, "The future Zhou Bai created a vast number of clones for work and war. Some of them wanted to resist Zhou Bai, so they sent a clone back to the past..."

"That's impossible." Zhou Bai's tone could no longer maintain calmness: "How did they achieve this? Moreover, where did they get the Heaven and Human Nine Disasters system?"

The woman in palace attire said, "I don't know, but the future you once said."

"Our universe no longer has a true space-time structure. Otherwise, events like time reversal, cessation, or foresight wouldn't be possible."

Zhou Bai remained silent, seemingly calculating something with the Heavenly Demon Pool. Only after a long time did he speak: "What's your story? What happened to Christina later on? Was she changed like Zuo Dao and the others?"

The woman in palace attire frowned, not speaking, but the virtual world before them portrayed her thoughts.

Amidst violent explosions, the Primordial Spirit powers of two women clashed. The Tianhe Star Explosion Swordsmanship was unleashed in full force, tearing through the mountains with its ferocious gravity.

The fighting pair were the Grand Elder and Christina. Before them was the scene where Christina and the Grand Elder were contending for Qing Yunzi's corpse.
