Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 455: The Number 454 Fool’s Disaster
Fool's Disaster: "The part of your wisdom that exceeds that of others will form a pressure of intelligence. This pressure can flow the twists and contamination from within your body into the minds of others. As more flows out, it will cause various states such as delusion, fear, despair, and madness. After Fool's Disaster is retracted, the contamination will also be taken back into the body…"
Zhou Bai, reading the introduction to Fool's Disaster, could feel how powerful this star point was. Unlike the previous disasters, the explanation for Fool's Disaster was more extensive, seeming deeper and more…mad. He continued to read on.
"…Reason, perhaps, is the most malicious gift this universe has left us. It's like a cage, isolating us, keeping us from the complex reality of the infinite universe…"
"…Madness is not a curse, but reason is. Chaos, disorder, and madness are the true face of the world…"
"…Spread distortion, spread madness, reveal the truths of this universe to all life…"
"…Bring the gospel to all humanity…"
After finishing the introduction to Fool's Disaster, Zhou Bai rubbed the space between his eyebrows. He felt a kind of discomfort but also had a kind of sudden insight. He murmured to himself, "Madness is not a curse, but reason is…is it?"
"Maybe to a life that has seen the essence of the universe, we are the fools."
However, Zhou Bai only thought about it for a while before he didn't dwell on it any longer. He had more pressing matters to care about, such as the results after Fool's Disaster caused delusion, fear, despair, and madness through the outflow of contaminated intelligence. He carefully read the contents of this part.
If 50 points of contamination flow out, the target enters a state of delusion, resulting in mental trauma. They become distrustful of everything, hallucinate with all five senses, refuse help from others, and even enter internal strife, attacking each other.
At 100 points of contamination flow out, the target enters a state of fear, begins to hide, begins to flee, and the courage to fight and resist continually diminishes.
At 150 points of contamination flow out, the target enters a state of despair. Mental trauma intensifies again, and their reality is different from that of ordinary people. Their murmurs will slowly induce others into a state of delusion.
At 200 points of contamination flow out, the target enters a state of madness. They will see the true reality, the essence of the universe, they will fall into absolute madness and distortion.
Looking at the detailed information about Fool's Disaster, Zhou Bai felt that the power of this star point was incredibly strong.
"If 200 points of contamination flow out, I can completely distort a person, right? Will I also become a source of distortion?"
Zhou Bai silently thought: "But I must reach at least 200 points of contamination to possibly distort someone else. My current contamination is only 30/105, and above 100/105, I will start to go mad and become distorted. The maximum value of contamination, I can now only increase it through the star points, and the enhancement of the star points requires the degree of Taoizing or cyan luck.
"It's still a long way to go before I reach more than 200 points of contamination flow out."
"Moreover, as the contamination flows out, the damage reduction provided by the contaminated body will also become lower and lower."
"This is a powerful late-game ability. It also turns the original defensive power into offensive power."
Zhou Bai carefully analyzed the strength and weaknesses of Fool's Disaster, realizing that although the skill was very powerful, it was not something he could use perfectly just yet. It belonged to a powerful ability that would grow as his own strength increased.
"Currently, my contamination is 30/105. To achieve an effect of a 50-point outflow, the fastest way is to learn the Twilight Taoist Skill. For a temporary measure, I could actively trigger some distortions to temporarily increase my contamination level."
Zhou Bai made his decision, after finishing things in West Mountain City and Yan Shan, he would go back to the East Dao School to learn the Five Divine Skills from Jiaojiao.
Learning the Five Divine Skills now would not only allow him to master several more powerful Taoist arts but also increase his contamination level, passively boost his defensive power, and enhance Fool's Disaster's power.
Two days later, Zhou Bai put on a mask and once again headed towards the grand classroom. Upon entering, he saw nearly five hundred celestial beings gathering together. As he arrived, a hundred people led the applause, followed by the rest clapping as well.
From the initial dozen people from Yan Shan to later more than a hundred, to the other day's two hundred, and today, a full five hundred-plus people.
Zhou Bai deeply felt how fast this business was growing, especially beings like Yan Shan, who were among the top celestials, and their immense influence.
"Today, over three hundred new customers have been added in one go…"
"It was good to limit the scope of influence to the celestial beings from the beginning, otherwise, things would have really gotten out of hand, resulting in countless mortal families destroyed."
With a sigh in his heart, Zhou Bai went on stage to start the class.
Two hours later, Zhou Bai called out, "Pay on the left, pick up goods on the right. Please keep order!"
"Those who get the Guihai Black Fiend can try it on the spot. If it has no effect, we will refund you on the spot!"
Watching the luck flow towards his Sea of Consciousness, Zhou Bai felt immensely satisfied.
Over these two or three weeks, teaching every few days was not only productive in terms of laziness value, but Zhou Bai had also harvested a large swath of lucky vibes from the celestials.
Considering today's harvest of luck, his Primordial Spirit value was about to break through 7000 points, reaching the level of the 7th realm in the path of cultivation.
'My Primordial Spirit power is about to reach the 7th realm, my defensive power is already on par with the 8th realm, and my speed has reached the top-notch level of the 7th realm. Plus, the ultimate move of Tianhe Star Explosion, Genesis Galaxy Collapse, is more powerful than my former teacher Ying Hui's Mixed Element Sword Formation and probably also has the level of the 7th realm, but it can't be used continuously.'
'Heh, even though my realm is still at the 4th, my true combat strength is already above the 7th realm, and may even be close to the 8th.'
'This doesn't even include additional support abilities like Fool's Disaster.'
Zhou Bai finally walked out of the classroom to the enthusiastic cries of the crowd and was taken by Yan Shan to a slightly smaller reception room. Two celestials who had just attended the class with him also entered the reception room.
Yan Shan introduced, "This is Ye Tao, the son of the Star Department's Greedy Wolf True Monarch, and this is Shang Zhen, the son of the Star Department's Broken Army True Monarch…"
Zhou Bai thought secretly: 'The business expansion in this period has basically spanned over the Thunder Department, Star Department, Plague Department, only not the offspring of a regular deity from the Heaven Department.
According to what Yan Shan said, among the four departments, the Heaven Department is the most mysterious. Their offspring have always kept to themselves, never interacting with others, and I don't know what's going on.'

After interacting with them for a while, watching Ye Tao and Shang Zhen from the Star Department leave, Zhou Bai turned to Yan Shan and said, "Yan Shan, give me the magic weapons and elixirs from this time."
