Calamity of Tomorrow

Deep beneath Central City.

The sea urchin-like demon girl stared at the screen and roared angrily, "Ah! Why can all the other Heavenly Demons move freely? Why am I the only one who has to hide my tracks?"

"Why can I only go after Zhou Bai!"

"Why can't I do anything else!"

"I want to kill! I fucking want to kill!!"

After her outburst, the girl huffed and grumbled as she walked away, "Forget it, if I can't kill, I can't kill, I'll just find my brother Zhou Bai."

Watching the girl disappear into the darkness, the mysterious woman's eyes flashed with surprise, "She forgot about me?"

But her delight was short-lived; the girl stomped back, cursing, "Almost forgot about you." She hoisted the mysterious woman onto her shoulder and gave her backside a pat, then started bouncing toward the exit.

"Ha-ha, sending you to Zhou Bai will definitely make him happy."

Hearing this, the mysterious woman's eyes filled with gloom and rage. The thought of being presented to Zhou Bai as a gift filled her with such fury that it seemed like a surge of power was flowing out of her. She wanted to struggle, to escape, to...

Crack!

The woman's body suddenly stiffened as violent currents ripped through her flesh, nerves, and brain. The sea urchin girl snarled, "What the fuck are you messing with? Move again, and I'll electrocute you!"

"Mmm... better tie you up tighter, though."

Chains wound around the woman, tightening and wrapping her up like a trussed pig.

The woman looked at the sea urchin girl with a face full of sorrow and anger, roaring in her heart, "If it weren't for my subordinates being absent! If it weren't for my Abyss Nether Dragon Armor being stolen! If it weren't for my Heavenly Demon body being damaged..."

...

Elsewhere, Zhou Bai and his group were taken to the skies by the Immortal Ming Yue. Heavenly Demons occasionally lunged at them but were instantly detonated in midair by the Primordial Spirit power of Ming Yue.

Other Heavenly Demons hid in the distance, shooting at Ming Yue and his group, but whether it was high-energy beams, electromagnetic cannons, or plasma cannons, they were all easily blocked by Ming Yue. Then, with a flash of sword light in the distance, the attacking Heavenly Demons were slain from afar.

Thus, the group flew unobstructed to the skies, arriving above Central City to the Miluo Heavenly Palace, following Ming Yue through the air to a colossal floating island above.

The entire island was filled with forests, rivers, snowy mountains, and lakes, as if it were a miniature world.

Xiang Haocu eyed the floating island and thought to himself, "This is Wanxian Island, right? Created by the Supreme Heavenly Venerate with unparalleled mana, it has recruited nearly all of Heaven's Immortals since its inception, becoming a massive organization uniting all Immortals."

Meanwhile, Immortal Ming Yue, who had been holding Zhou Bai's hand all along, floated above Wanxian Island with him, introducing it as they went, "Zhou Bai, this is Wanxian Island. You can consider this place your home now.

I've already activated all the Arrays and restrictions on Wanxian Island. As long as you stay here obediently, no Heavenly Demon can attack here, except for the Heavenly Demon King's strikes."

Ying Hui and Yun Chonghe exchanged a glance, their Primordial Spirits touching and instantly exchanging thoughts.

Yun Chonghe, "Immortal Ming Yue's attitude has changed considerably."

Ying Hui, "Hmph, I think this woman has designs on Zhou Bai."

Yun Chonghe slightly startled, "Having ideas? No way, she's already so old…"

Ying Hui: "What are you blabbering about? I mean she has also taken note of Zhou Bai's talents. This woman might want to take Zhou Bai as an apprentice, win over Zhou Bai, and tie Zhou Bai to Wanxian Island's ship."

Yun Chonghe's gaze sharpened as he looked at the Immortal Ming Yue, whose demeanor had changed. Watching her occasionally pat Zhou Bai's head and shoulders while smiling at him, and yet turning a completely expressionless face towards them...

Yun Chonghe: "This woman is definitely trying to win over Zhou Bai's circle… Zhou Bai shouldn't be swayed by her, right?"

Ying Hui, recalling Zhou Bai's past deeds, said with confidence: "Don't worry, Zhou Bai is not someone who can be captured by mere wealth, power, or beauty; the things he likes are all very simple."

The group followed Immortal Ming Yue to a mansion on the island. Pointing at the rich and splendid estate, adorned with small bridges over flowing water and pavilions, she grabbed Zhou Bai's right hand, leading him towards the compound.

She said warmly, "Zhou Bai, I'm giving you this courtyard from now on. If there's anything you don't like, let me know and I'll help you change it later. You can stay here during the Heavenly Demon's attack on the city…"

Zhou Bai thought to himself: "This Immortal Ming Yue actually isn't too bad, quite affable in private."

Christina said in his sea of consciousness: "Oh come on, unsolicited generosity often spells trouble. Can't you sense it? This old hag is only nice to you, everyone else is practically non-existent in her eyes."

Zhou Bai, feeling quite good about himself, said: "Isn't that okay? Didn't she save everyone? She's just a little more cordial to me, but after all, I'm outstanding, so it's normal to be treated a bit better than the others."

Just as Immortal Ming Yue was leading Zhou Bai into the compound, she suddenly turned back to look at Zheng Wentian, Xiang Haocu, and others: "Oh right, this is the courtyard I prepared for Zhou Bai."

Saying this, she pointed to several dog kennels near the gate: "…You guys wait over there."

Zheng Wentian, Xiang Haocu, and others: "…"

Zheng Wentian roared inwardly: "Isn't the disparity in treatment a bit too much?"

Xiang Haocu fumed inside: "These Immortals really consider Zhou Bai as their prized pearl, while we are no different than dogs in their eyes."

Zhou Bai said awkwardly: "Let's just let everyone come in."

Immortal Ming Yue nodded with a smile: "This is your home, if you want them to come in, then they can come in." The next moment, her face turned cold as she looked towards Zheng Wentian and the others: "Then come in. Remember, it's because Zhou Bai invited you that I'm letting you in. You should be very grateful to Zhou Bai."

Looking at Zheng Wentian, Xiang Haocu, and the others in front of her, Immortal Ming Yue couldn't help but feel surges of disgust within her heart.

For the past hundred years, she had tried countless times to purify these creatures back into humans.

Without question, each attempt had failed.

And with each attempt, she had found it increasingly difficult to see these creatures as her own kind.

'The natural instincts lurking within their blood… even if I exhaust all efforts to teach, guide, and suppress, it's impossible to completely erase them. A demon is a demon...'

After arriving at the mansion, Zhou Bai found a room to sit in and started to contemplate enhancing some star points with the green-colored fortune.

He thought: 'First enhance star points, then find an opportunity to reap Heavenly Demons.'

The others were arranged to stay in the center of the courtyard by Immortal Ming Yue, and from time to time, one could hear earth-shattering explosions from outside, indicating that the battle between the immortals and the Heavenly Demons within Central City had reached a fever pitch.

Meanwhile, outside the mansion, under a tree, a young man stood in the shadow of the tree, muttering as he looked in the direction of the mansion, "Has my chance come?"

In the sky, a green speck of light fell towards the direction of the mansion.
