After arranging the work of the replicas, Zhou Bai looked towards the virtual network world of the Homo sapiens.

The moment he connected his consciousness to it, he was bombarded with all types of ads: forty-meter-long giant swords, colorful glowing wings, skins of handsome men and beautiful women from various races and types, and all sorts of fashion that can't appear in the real world, as well as pets resembling mythical beasts... It all left Zhou Bai dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, when Zhou Bai looked down, the entire virtual world was like a carnival of chaos: some people flew around with wings, some glowed golden all over, some wore no clothes, others dressed as dolls, and some transformed into various strange shapes... Zhou Bai had a lot of questions.

On the other side, Divine Zhou Bai perceived the arrival of the main body and connected, asking, "You're here?"

Zhou Bai asked in confusion, "What are you up to? Why is this world filled with so much nonsense?"

Divine Zhou Bai smiled and said, "It's a virtual world; we must sell more distinctive items to stimulate users' consumer desires. Ever since I introduced the marketplace, selling various skins and fashions, the Homo sapiens have become more motivated to work and earn money."

"Next, I plan to categorize their spending into different VIP tiers, offering more services and squeezing every bit of their earnings."

"However, since their salaries are limited, to allow them to enjoy the future in advance, I've decided to offer them loan services."

"Of course, we must provide the less fortunate with a chance to win something for free, so there has to be a lottery system..."

Divine Zhou Bai laughed, "I merely put a price on what they used to get for free, and they suddenly seem so fulfilled. Humans are truly amusing."

Zhou Bai checked the recent statistics of Homo sapiens connecting the virtual world to the Material World, manipulating machines for work, and found it to be true. With Divine Zhou Bai's actions, the Homo sapiens' work efficiency and enthusiasm indeed improved! So he let the other party do as they pleased.

But before leaving, he suddenly thought, "Is this like using internet addiction to curb internet addiction?"

After reviewing the work with the replicas and Homo sapiens consciousness, Zhou Bai held the Primordial Dao Scroll 09, reading its contents.

When combining with the Heavenly Demon Pool, Zhou Bai had already comprehended the Primordial Dao Scroll 09 and deciphered the whereabouts of Primordial Dao Scroll 10 from it.

"Now that humans, replicas, and Christina are all settled, it's about time I retrieve Primordial Dao Scroll 10 and check on what exactly is happening with Dr. Zhuang."

Half an hour later, Zhou Bai boarded a Heavenly Demon's spaceship, took off, and headed towards the moon.

The whereabouts of Primordial Dao Scroll 10 are on the moon.

...

Upon the cold and solitary surface of the moon, Zhou Bai's figure gently landed on a crater.

Christina exclaimed in his consciousness, "Dr. Zhuang ended up hiding here? There's nothing here at all! And how did he get up here? Why would he hide on the moon?"

Zhou Bai replied impatiently, "How should I know?"

Christina swished her tail, "I'm just asking, why are you so impatient?"

Elsa lay on the side, happily watching it all, happy to go anywhere adventuring with Zhou Bai as long as she didn't have to go to school.

Following the data displayed on Primordial Dao Scroll 09, Zhou Bai changed the Dao seal in his hand, finally pointing at a location on a cliff.

An area shook extensively, runes began to flicker, and a passage rose from the underground, appearing before Zhou Bai.

"Let's go."

Zhou Bai, with Christina and Elsa in his consciousness, entered the passage, able to feel himself continually heading downwards into the moon's depths.

"Dr. Zhuang really dug such an underground base on the moon?"

But the further Zhou Bai advanced, the more a sense of eerie familiarity arose in him.

Zhou Bai slowly said, "Christina..."

Christina replied with a puzzled tone, "Why does this place feel somewhat familiar?"

Zhou Bai scanned the corridor with his Primordial Spirit power, comparing it with his memory.

"Christina, do you remember more than three years ago, when we kept running along a hallway and finally fainted, and when we woke up..."

Christina screamed, "This... is this the place we first met? Where I first gave you the Heavenly Nine Disasters Auxiliary Training System? How could this be possible?"

A strong sense of vigilance and suspicion flashed across Zhou Bai's face, "I don't know. We'll find out as we go further."

With every step, his figure was gradually swallowed by the pitch-black hallway.

After advancing about five hundred meters, a large door appeared before Zhou Bai.

Meanwhile, Christina, in the sea of consciousness, had already thought through much, exclaiming incredulously, "Zhou Bai, could it be that we initially appeared on the moon? Was it Dr. Zhuang on the moon who sent us to his base on Earth?"

"I don't know," Zhou Bai said. "Stop overthinking, search the place thoroughly to uncover what happened."

Elsa listened curiously to their conversation and asked, "Tina, have you been here before?"

Christina frowned, "I don't know... I don't know..."

Just as Zhou Bai pondered whether to push open the door before him, it opened on its own.

A large and a small figure appeared in front, none other than Dr. Zhuang and Alice.

The moment Elsa saw Alice, she couldn't wait and rushed out, hugging Alice with excitement, "Alice! So you were here! I've missed you so much!"

Alice stared blankly at the girl in front of her, puzzled, "Do I know you?"

Elsa exclaimed, "Alice! Don't you remember me? I'm Elsa."

While the two girls were talking, Zhou Bai cautiously watched Zhuang Yan and Alice.

Originally, he thought that through his numerous exchanges with Dr. Zhuang's avatars in the past, he had gradually comprehended Dr. Zhuang's growth and changes. He understood the other's ideas after constant research and exploration of the void and Heavenly Dao, and his plans that evolved over time.

But this familiar corridor overturned countless of Zhou Bai's past assumptions, making the Dr. Zhuang before him feel deep and unfathomable.

Dr. Zhuang looked at Zhou Bai, smiling gently, "No need to be so tense, we mean you no harm."

Zhou Bai looked at him and said, "What did you do? And what exactly do you intend to do?"

Dr. Zhuang turned, saying, "Let's talk as we walk, Alice, take Elsa to have fun in the back garden."

After entering the door, Zhou Bai found himself in a vast expanse of ancient pavilions and towers, looking like a heavenly palace.

Walking through this garden, Zhou Bai said calmly, "You're quite leisurely, building so many houses."

Dr. Zhuang shook his head, "I didn't build this lunar base."

Zhou Bai said in surprise, "Then who did?"

Dr. Zhuang replied, "The Spiritual People from beyond the heavens, this is their monitoring point left on the moon."

Zhou Bai's heart skipped a beat, "The Spiritual People you mentioned, what is their relation to Heavenly Court?"

Dr. Zhuang said, "The Spiritual People who built the lunar base are not the same group as the Spiritual People of Earth's Heavenly Court."
