Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 549 - 548 Demon Saint Secret

Zhou Bai watched as Christina gradually entered the state of focus. He nodded, patted Elsa's head, and pulled out a magic sword from her mouth. He then began to bestow a simple intelligence upon the sword using his spiritual powers.

Two hours later, invisible fluctuations surged from Christina's body, and she suddenly stepped into the fifth realm, achieving a 50% transformation.

As she broke through to the fifth realm, she abruptly lifted her head, her eyes darting as if countless scenes flashed across her mind, and a series of memories surfaced.

Zhou Bai watched nervously. Five minutes later, Christina blinked and tilted her head before Zhou Bai eagerly asked, "How is it? Did you remember anything?"

Krist nodded faintly, "Yes... I remember... I seem to have seen... the Demon Saint entering the void."

"The Demon Saint entered the void?" Zhou Bai was slightly startled. According to what Christina and Jiaojiao had said earlier, the demons had defeated the human race and ruled Earth; however, the Demon Saint then disappeared, leading to internal strife among the demons. Humans and gods took this opportunity to fight back and turn the tide of defeat into victory.

The missing Demon Saint had entered the void?

A trace of bewilderment flashed across Christina's face, as if she had returned to the past and witnessed that shocking scene.

...

In the scene, a young man with two horns and purple runes on his face faintly smiled and slowly said, "Christina, I'm going to the void, and there's an 80% chance I won't return. I'll leave the rest to you."

A soft female voice from off-screen inquired, "Why are you going to the void? After you leave, Bai Ze and Zhu Jiuyin will definitely cause trouble."

The young man helplessly said, "I don't want to go either, but the great catastrophe is approaching, and we no longer have time."

The female voice responded, "A great catastrophe? What catastrophe? Isn't the war between humans and demons over? If we govern the world properly and ensure humans and demons coexist peacefully, won't the world keep improving?"

The young man gave a wry smile, "You don't understand. There isn't a possibility for us to coexist peacefully with them. If there is a solution, it lies within the void."

Christina: "In the void? Isn't that where Heavenly Dao resides? Could it be that everything is predestined by Heaven?"

The young man shook his head, "This is already the second war between humans and demons. However, there might not have been a void during the first war."

"I must find out how the void came into being."

...

Hearing Christina's recount, Zhou Bai appeared shocked, feeling that the news was quite explosive and completely beyond his expectations.

The Demon Saint's disappearance was actually a voluntary entrance into the void?

The void wasn't originally there?

Was there a first war between humans and demons before the one five hundred years ago?

Zhou Bai felt that this world was much deeper than he had previously thought. Christina's revived memory solved some problems but introduced even more.

He anxiously ruffled his hair, feeling that everything became even more elusive, "Logically speaking, since the Demon Saint knows so much, supreme deities like Supreme Heavenly Venerate must also be aware of much. Are they hiding something?"

"Hmm... Hmm... Hmm." Christina nodded absentmindedly, "Maybe they have some plans."

Yet in her heart, she was frantically turning over another scene she had seen besides that of the Demon Saint.

Christina thought to herself: 'I absolutely cannot tell Zhou Bai about this... not until I figure out what exactly is going on.'

Zhou Bai's gaze swept over Christina's form, pondering inwardly, "This silly cat looks preoccupied; did she recall something else she doesn't want to share?"

Elsa's head came up, "Zhou Bai! I'm hungry."

Zhou Bai replied, "Okay, enter my body, and I'll get you something to eat."

The night passed with each of them engrossed in their own thoughts, either cultivating or resting.

Early the next morning, Zhou Bai was again woken by Zheng Wentian. He joined the contenders from the other two sects and headed towards the venue of today's opening ceremony.

Zhou Bai took a casual look at his team's contestants; there were only nine of them. He scoffed slightly, "We only have nine people, and there are over six hundred competitors. Does that mean all the remaining contestants are from Central City? That's too much."

Qian Wangsun approached and disseminated what he had learned in the style of Gong Tu, "I inquired a lot last night. At first, there were only about thirty contestants. After the four major sects finished their selection, Heavenly Court used an excuse to start accepting more applications, suddenly increasing the number to over six hundred."

"Heh heh, I bet many of those are plants meant to pave the way for the deities' favored contestants."

Zhou Bai glanced around and asked, "Aren't people from the Evil Sect joining us?" He recalled Sun Jingping from the Evil Sect who would probably participate in the competition too.

Qian Wangsun shook his head, "No, they won't join us. I've already inquired; those guys from the Evil Sect are probably mixed up with Wanxian Island, and they will definitely oppose us this time."

Moments later, the group set foot on a celestial cloud, which ascended and headed towards the palace cluster in the sky.

Yun Chonghe and Ying Hui, along with the other masters, stayed behind to watch the opening ceremony through a live broadcast.

Above the celestial cloud, Zhou Bai closely observed the pavilions and towers within the heavenly palace, sensing the opulence which was evident everywhere. Nearly countless servants continuously maintained every corner of the heavenly palace, with tens of thousands of people employed each day just for this upkeep.

Riding the celestial cloud through a vast expanse of palaces, they suddenly saw a grand platform, the venue for the opening ceremony—Heavenly Imperial Platform.

At that moment, there were already people on the Heavenly Imperial Platform. As Zhou Bai walked toward the front, Meng Ruocun spotted him and stopped him.

"Zhou Bai, you really did come." After experiencing the previous incident and Zhou Bai's handling of emotions, Meng Ruocun still had a good impression of this mortal prodigy.

She warned him, "Don't go any further forward. Here, seating is arranged by realm. Which realm are you now?" freёnovelkiss.com

Listening to his response, she slightly frowned, "The fourth realm, huh? You guys should go to the last row, that's where the fourth realm cultivators are."
