Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 527 - 526 Arena and Memory

Zhou Bai leisurely made his way toward the cafeteria, harvesting a great deal of greed along the way and transforming it into a thumb-sized ball of carbon steel that materialized within his sea of knowledge.

As he arrived at the cafeteria, Zhou Bai could see Elsa already waiting for him at the door, holding onto Christina, ready to eat.

Upon seeing Zhou Bai, she quickly waved her hands incessantly.

Zhou Bai walked up to Elsa, "Let's go, time to eat!"

Christina looked at Zhou Bai's face and said, "Zhou Bai, when we're in the dormitory, can you sleep with your mask on?"

Zhou Bai retorted, "Get lost! Shave off your beard while you're at it!"

Christina scoffed.

Zhou Bai continued, "Still not convinced? Let me tell you, my beauty is a lethal weapon, not a toy for you to play with."

"Hmm, just think, after I put on this mask and simply shout 'I am so handsome,' activating the Fool's words, imagine how strong the killing power would be?"

"Not to mention using this beauty to harvest greed and obliterate desires."

To maximize the harvesting of greed, Zhou Bai and Elsa decided to eat directly in the main hall. As they grabbed their meals and sat down, another large group of men had their desire to be handsome harvested, adding a fist-sized piece of greed steel to Zhou Bai.

Zhou Bai looked inside his sea of knowledge, where the total volume had now increased to 0.1 cubic meters of greed steel. He thought to himself, 'At this rate, in a few days, I'll have enough greed steel to craft one or two sets of armor.'

'However, the carbon steel hasn't undergone a single fusion upgrade yet, so I'll wait until after adding the star points to see how to use it.'

'Not to mention something as high-level as Immortal Pattern Sky Gold, if I could upgrade the carbon steel to the standard of Blood Talisman Immortal Steel, I might be able to craft another Ninth Realm armor to use during debates.'

As for the weapon, Zhou Bai hadn't even considered it; given the materials and techniques, of course, he would prioritize crafting a set of armor for safety first.

Zhou Bai's greed progress (4/9).

Only 6 weeks left until the debates in Daluo Heaven.

...

Central City, Daluo Heaven.

Above an endless sea of clouds, a fighting arena was suspended.

A Daoist sat cross-legged on a cloud, forming hand signs and continuously casting them toward the arena.

The entire arena flickered with a rustic bronze glow, constantly expanding, transforming, and quickly changing from the size of a basketball court to that of a football field, continuing to expand and gradually appearing like an airborne island.

Beside the Daoist, the Chief of Wanxian Island, Tianyang Zi, smilingly said, "It's been a long while since this Nine Heavens Bronze Arena was brought out. You've put in great effort to reforge it this time."

Next to Tianyang Zi stood the leader of Wanxian Island's Thirty-six Hermits and the former Human Emperor Sword Master, the Ghost Slaying God.

While refining the Nine Heavens Bronze Arena, Ghost Slaying God said, "I have re-forged this arena using the Luhemiao Free Method and the Hundred Refinements of Ghosts and Gods, including the support of Daluo Heaven's space-time. Without the strength of a celestial god, it's impossible to break this arena. But... just a flock of chicks, is it necessary?"

Tianyang Zi chuckled, "Of course it's necessary. Several of the contestants this time have quite significant backgrounds."

Ghost Slaying God indifferently said, "The several kids from the families of the four great marshals of the Thunder Department, that girl from the Plague Department Si Yi Heavenly Monarch, and the kid from the Fighting Department's Greedy Wolf True Monarch's family—aside from them, who else has the strength to compete? With the help of Tu Tianmo and others, along with Shi Fa and Zhao Yue's own strengths, aren't they secure enough?"

Ghost Slaying God added, "We're giving them quite a lot of benefits. If they still can't win, they're truly no better than pigs." freёweɓnovel.com

Tianyangzi said indifferently, "Mortals have not given up, and the Heavenly Demon might also intervene. Li Xiuzhu of the Sky Flipping Sect has been too quiet these past few months, which is also very abnormal."

"Mortals?" Tutianshen said coldly, "At this point, everything is beyond redemption. What else could they be thinking?"

Tianyangzi sighed, "They might have found the legitimate descendant of the Ji Family, which means that among this session's contestants, there might be one from the Ji lineage."

"The Ji Family?" Tutianshen frowned slightly upon hearing this, "Are they still alive?"

The Human Emperor Sword was the first Ninth Realm Magical Treasure created by humanity during the great unification of Xia Country, which had harnessed the power of humans globally and combined countless technologies.

The leader of Xia Country at the time was surnamed Ji.

After the fall of Xia Country, during the great war between humans and demons, a descendant of the Xia named Ji Wuchang wielded the Human Emperor Sword, slaying the Demon God but exhausted his power and perished.

It could be said that the Human Emperor Sword and the Ji Family were bound by an insoluble fate, having once had two generations of sword masters who were descendants of the Ji Family.

According to legend, because the Ji Family was originally in charge of forging the Human Emperor Sword, it had a mysterious connection with the Ji bloodline.

Not to mention, as descendants of the Xia Country's leader, the Ji Family had a profound lineage. They once included countless Daoist techniques and martial arts from numerous Daoist Sects, a heritage deeper than even the four great sects today.

If such a terrifying family's descendant were to participate in the discussions at Daluo Heaven, no man, immortal, or god would dare underestimate them.

Tianyangzi continued, "It seems that a group of remnants have been protecting the Ji bloodline. They have come out this time clearly to retake the Human Emperor Sword and become the chosen son of humanity's fate, even perhaps to rebuild Xia."

Tutianshen said indifferently, "Then we must strengthen Zhao Yue and Shi Fa a bit more. Even if they cannot break through the Ninth Realm later and it might impair their potential, it would still be worth it."

Tianyangzi nodded, "That's exactly what I thought, I have already given each of them a Heavenly Demon Soul Capturing Pill to take in case they face an opponent they can't defeat."

"But I am still worried, so I specifically invited you to finely reforge this Nine Heavens Bronze Arena."

Tutianshen nodded knowingly, "That's the right course. This Daluo Heaven discussion must be under our control."

Tutianshen added, "Rest assured, as long as I disagree, no one can step onto this arena, nor can anyone discover the issue with it."

Tianyangzi then said, "This piece of Daluo spacetime also needs some re-arrangement. When the time comes and elites from all over gather here, whether they be man, god, immortal, the Heavenly Demon, or rebels from the Sky Flipping Sect, we cannot allow them to act recklessly, everything must follow the regulations of Wanxian Island."

…

Zhou Bai harvested another great batch of greed today and headed towards his bedroom, thinking, "Tonight, I can light up the fifth star. It's so fast."

However, upon reaching the dormitory, he saw Zhao Haomiao pacing back and forth downstairs, seemingly waiting for Zhou Bai.

"This guy is such a bother... Why has he been sticking to me recently, treating me like his idol. Had I known, I would have used a different method from the start."

Zhou Bai rolled his eyes, darted behind the dormitory, and clambered up.

Upon entering the dormitory, he saw a cat crouched on the bed, deep in thought, looking at the Daoist text 'Primitive Dao Collection 05' on the floor.

Since Zhou Bai no longer needed to practice the 'Primitive Dao Collection 05,' he had left it in the dormitory for Christina and Elsa to practice with.

Christina looked up when Zhou Bai entered and said distractedly, "Zhou Bai, I've remembered something else again."

"What is it now?" Zhou Bai was already familiar with Christina's memories, which all seemed to be useless. Hearing her talk about memory revival again, he didn't take it seriously.

Yet he heard Christina say, "I remembered, the current Heaven... is not the Heaven of the past. The immortals and gods of the past are probably all dead."
