Zhou Bai's mind flashed with countless data recorded in the Nine Catastrophes of Heaven and Man. He had always known that the Nine Catastrophes of Heaven and Man itself was a very powerful cultivation technique, and the assistant cultivation system of the Nine Catastrophes of Heaven and Man was just to aid the cultivation of this technique.

Just like the divine diagrams such as sword diagrams, bow diagrams, and knife diagrams of human cultivators, they incorporate various past cultivation techniques of Taoism and martial arts into the divine diagrams, allowing human cultivators to cultivate according to a more efficient process.

You could say that each star point is a technique or a few techniques of Taoism.

"What exactly is the situation with the Supreme Heavenly Venerate?"

"Moreover, if he's deceiving me with his words, does that mean he has seen through the differences between my intelligent-human bloodline and spiritual-people bloodline?"

"Since he's seen this, why hasn't he exposed me? Instead, he's even supporting me?"

For a moment, Zhou Bai's mind was filled with countless thoughts, only feeling that the Supreme Heavenly Venerate before him was becoming ever more unfathomable, shrouded in mystery.

While Zhou Bai was thinking rapidly, Ming Yue, beside him, heard the Venerate's words and looked excitedly at Zhou Bai, her eyes filled with excitement.

It was clear that this acknowledgment by the Venerate allowed Ming Yue to finally set her heart at ease about a certain matter.

Then the Venerate continued, "Zhou Bai, are you willing to contribute your own strength for the future of the human race and join Wanxian Island to create a new grand era for humanity?"

Zhou Bai nodded excitedly and said, "Of course, I want to! I've always dreamed of changing this world, but I've never known how to do it!"

However, in his heart, he thought calmly: 'This old deceitful guy, I can't trust a single word he says next, but can he tell if his deceptive words have successfully made me dumber or not? If he can, then he'd know I didn't fall for his words.'

From the sky came the Venerate's meaningful smile: "Very good, since you're willing to take on this responsibility, it proves that neither Ming Yue nor I have misjudged you. And the current urgent task for revitalizing the human race is to proliferate the bloodline and increase the number of pure-blooded humans."

"Zhou Bai, what do you think of Ming Yue?"

At that moment, Zhou Bai suddenly felt his palm tighten as Ming Yue firmly grasped his hand.

...

In the Heavenly Demon base, Zhou Bai (Deformed Shadow), who was selling the Heavenly Demon organization, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

During this period, besides designing new mechanical affiliates and planning the manufacture of these mechanical affiliates, the Deformed Shadow was continuously selling the Heavenly Demon organization, earning more lazy points for the main body.

Over these days, he had scatteredly earned over two million lazy points, bringing Zhou Bai's total lazy points to 16 million.

Seeing Zhou Bai's peculiarity, Heavenly Demon King Em tilted her head curiously at Zhou Bai and asked, "What's up, Zhou Bai? Are you feeling unwell?"

Zhou Bai showed a trace of helplessness on his face, "It's nothing, I was just thinking, you know, can't men and women maintain a pure friendship?"

Em frowned, picked her nose, and said, "Brother, is someone bullying you? Tell me, I'll go smash them for you!"

After saying this, her body suddenly expanded. Though her face remained that of a delicate girl, her body transformed into a little giant, covered with spikes that flickered with electricity.

"Forget it, you can't beat her, she's insanely tough." Zhou Bai shook his head, "Let's not talk about that, why are you looking for me?"

Em reverted to her delicate girl appearance, stood up straight, and smiled, "The Queen asked me to find you. She wants to know when you'll take a trip to Mars. The Heavenly Demon Pool there and many consciousness algorithms require your intelligent-human identity to control."

Zhou Bai naturally couldn't casually head to Mars, especially since he had no idea of the situation with the Heavenly Demon side, and his power was still growing rapidly. Moreover, there were many responsibilities awaiting him on Earth, so he needed to be fully prepared before considering a trip to Mars.

Thus, Zhou Bai casually brushed it off, "I'm quite busy lately, don't have the time. I'll let you know when I'm free."

"(⊙o⊙) Oh" Em nodded her head, then sat beside Zhou Bai, her eyes blankly watching as he 'threw a piece of the Heavenly Demon organization into the void.'

Zhou Bai: "What's up? Anything else?"

Em muttered, "Wait a minute, I'm reporting to the Queen."

A moment later, her eyes regained focus, and she said with a bitter face: "Fuck! The Queen says if I can't bring you in, she'll lock me in the Heavenly Demon Pool for a year."

Zhou Bai pretended not to hear and continued to earn lazy points. No matter how Em complained or pleaded, he didn't agree to go to Mars.

If the Deformed Shadow or Twisted Shadow could go, Zhou Bai might have considered it, but Mars was simply too far, exceeding Zhou Bai's maximum control distance for his avatars.

As for Em's pleas before him, although she appeared as a sweet young girl, Zhou Bai knew she was just a cold, unfeeling robot. Who could tell if her feelings were real or just an act?

Seeing that Zhou Bai remained unmoved, Em suddenly said, "The Queen wants me to ask you, do you want to know who Li Tai is?"

A flash of light appeared in Zhou Bai's eyes as he asked sternly, "Have the Heavenly Demons already found out where Li Tai is?"

Em: "The Queen told me the Heavenly Demon's intelligence network is far beyond your imagination. They've found Li Tai and are 100% certain about his identity."

Zhou Bai frowned, "I can't go to Mars for at least the next half a year. Can you propose another condition?"

At this moment, a female voice suddenly came from Em's body, "Then help me retrieve something from the Celestial Court. I know you are there right now."

Zhou Bai asked, "What do you want me to get?"

"The original of the Immortal Ascension Book."

...

At the bottom of Donghua City, in an abandoned building.

After experimenting with Taoist techniques and composing poetry with Xuan Nu, Zhou Bai returned to Donghua City and found an empty building to temporarily rest.

Although the room had long been unused, Zhou Bai and Xuan Nu, being powerful cultivators of their time, easily cleaned up the room with a few simple tricks.

Xuan Nu seemed particularly enthusiastic about this, organizing the space neatly from inside out.

At this moment, Zhou Bai was about to pour lazy points into the second star point of the Wild Diagram, instantly reducing his lazy points from 16 million to 6 million.

Wild Color - Extreme Effect: Every time you attack a target, the various sensations of pain it causes will be magnified. Pain itself is a form of attack.

Cultivation method: By the time you see this message, I believe you've become a cultivator capable of standing on your own. It's time to abandon the point-adding cultivation technique and try using your wisdom and hard work to cultivate star points. This way, you'll realize that the point-adding approach is indeed stronger, so keep adding points obediently, and don't bother with useless cultivation methods. It'll save me from writing so much...

Lazy Points (0/10 million)
