Hearing Li Xiuzhu's words, Zhou Bai instinctively wanted to retort. He had never wanted to become an omnipotent and omniscient god.
However, just as he opened his mouth to say something, he suddenly froze and frowned.
"Become an omnipotent and omniscient god?" Zhou Bai sighed. "If it weren't for the fact that the conditions do not allow it, who wouldn't want to become such an existence?
"If it weren't for the fact that it is impossible, who wouldn't want to become the strongest in the world?
"If it weren't for the fact that it is impossible, who wouldn't want to use power to sweep away everything?
Zhou Bai looked at Li Xiuzhu and said, "If you had such power, or if you had the possibility of obtaining such power, wouldn't you want to?"
Looking at Zhou Bai, Li Xiuzhu had a grave expression. "If one uses one's power to sweep away everything, that is using one's will to change the world. With this kind of thinking, even if one continues to grow stronger, that person will only become another Celestial Court. Humans will just be their pets."
Zhou Bai said, "But this is the real world we live in. As long as there is the Immortal Dao, as long as one can cultivate, there will always be strong and weak people. There will always be the strongest group of people who will grasp power that far surpasses the weak. Even if there is no you or me, no Divine Emperor, no Heavenly Venerate, there will still be other Great Emperors and Divine Lords."
Li Xiuzhu said, "That's why I want to stimulate everyone's Fiendish Demon bloodline, allowing everyone to grasp great power. This is not just to give humanity the power to resist the Celestial Court. It is also to close the gap between the strongest and weakest of humanity."
Zhou Bai sighed and said, "Many people will die. The entire race might not be able to withstand such a drastic change. You are taking this step too quickly. You should let us experts take the lead. The change of the people needs to be gradual. "
"That will only create a group of gods." Li Xiuzhu sighed and said, "Furthermore, we no longer have time. This is a rebirth from the ashes. I believe in humanity's potential and tenacity."
Zhou Bai said, "You are dragging the entire race with you. You are forcing countless people who know nothing to take risks with you."
Li Xiuzhu: "With the survival of the entire human race on the line, who has the qualifications to stand alone?"
After Li Xiuzhu finished speaking, the two of them instantly fell silent.
At the side, Qian Wangsun revealed a sorrowful expression. He covered his eyes and lamented in his heart, 'This state of being able to see but unable to change is really terrible … Is it because I'm too weak? Even if I could see it, I wouldn't be able to stop these two men before me.'
Qian Wangsun raised his head and looked at Zhou Bai and Li Xiuzhu in front of him. As the two most outstanding humans in the world, even if he had genius-level talent, he could not interfere.
As the two of them remained silent, the atmosphere became increasingly oppressive. Qian Wangsun, Yun Chonghe, and Ying Luo all felt as if there was a huge rock pressing on their chests, making it hard for them to breathe.
Zhou Bai shook his head. He knew that no matter what he said, he could not convince Li Xiuzhu with just words. This was because their backgrounds, races, and experiences were completely different. There was a huge difference in their ideals.
Li Xiuzhu could not convince Zhou Bai to let Zhou Bai fully support the Sky-Toppling Sect's plan.
Zhou Bai could not convince Li Xiuzhu to use all the resources of the Sky-Toppling Sect to fully support him either.
"In the end, this is a world where martial strength determines the final outcome."
Zhou Bai sighed and stared at Li Xiuzhu. "What if I insist on stopping you?"
Li Xiuzhu sighed softly. "Then we can only be enemies in the future. "Humans can't become immortals or gods, and we don't have the technology of the Sky Demons. The only thing we can rely on is the demon bloodline in our bodies and the aberration weapons we control. As the weaker side, we can only resist with our lives …"
At the same time, the Heaven's Illuminating Orb turned into a huge bubble and protected him. Then, Li Xiuzhu opened his palm and revealed a bracelet. A twisting force surged from the bracelet.
Zhou Bai's gaze froze, and he immediately became alert. He thought to himself, 'Is this another of Li Xiuzhu's mutated weapons?'
Other than the Blood Killing Divine Blade, Li Xiuzhu had two other mutated weapons.
One was the Divine Illuminating Orb that Jian Hui had created by sacrificing herself, and the other was a mutated weapon made from the demon Zhu Yan that Li Xiuzhu had brought back from Donghua City. It was the bracelet that Ye Futian was currently holding.
Li Xiuzhu slowly said, "Zhou Bai, this mutated weapon is called the Floating Cosmos Bracelet. Originally, I planned to use this mutated weapon to temporarily retreat after the Battle of Heaven ended, regardless of whether I won or lost. Until now, I am the only one who knows the abilities of this mutated weapon … "
Li Xiuzhu had always hidden the abilities of this mutated weapon. Even within the Sky-Toppling Sect, no one knew its specific abilities. It was clear that there was a traitor among the Awakened, which made Li Xiuzhu even more wary.
The Floating Cosmos Bracelet flew out of Li Xiuzhu's palm and started to spin at high speed. It was like a vortex, turning the space into layers of ripples.
Li Xiuzhu was brought into the layers of spatial ripples. It was as if he had stepped into another world. His aura also became faintly discernible. Then, he opened his mouth and spat out a beam of red light into the sky. It pierced through the clouds and rained down blood.
The next moment, before Zhou Bai could react, the vortex suddenly expanded and instantly engulfed Li Xiuzhu and Qian Wangsun before disappearing. Only Zhou Bai, Zhao Shouyi, and Ying Luo were left where they were.
Zhou Bai could sense that after Li Xiuzhu was engulfed by the vortex, he had completely left this place.
At the same time, when the demons ten kilometers away saw the bloody light in the sky, they all burrowed into the ground, their auras disappearing as well.
Zhou Bai frowned. The Floating Cosmos Bracelet in Li Xiuzhu's hand was a mutated weapon with some kind of spatial teleportation ability.
At the same time, Zhou Bai suddenly had a realization. With this Floating Cosmos Bracelet, Li Xiuzhu indeed had the ability to retreat after the Battle of Heaven. However, since he could retreat, why didn't he use the Floating Cosmos Bracelet to retreat from the start? Why did he set up the Battle of Heaven?
If he lost in the Battle of Heaven, wouldn't it be …
Zhou Bai's gaze flickered slightly. It doesn't matter if he loses. Even if he loses, his Heaven-Flipping Fist Intent will be extracted. From the looks of it, he can quickly retrieve the Heaven-Flipping Fist Intent.
If an immortal is injected with the Heaven-Flipping Fist Intent, they might unknowingly be influenced by Li Xiuzhu's ideals. Even if they aren't influenced, their battle prowess will be reduced.
At this moment, Zhou Bai looked at Li Xiuzhu, who had activated the Floating Cosmos Bracelet, and finally understood his opponent's plan.
From the moment he set up the Battle of Heaven, regardless of whether he won or lost, Li Xiuzhu would probably be able to accept it. If he won, he would extract the immortal god's dao technique to strengthen himself. If he lost, he would use the Heaven-Flipping Fist Intent to influence an immortal god.
However, Zhou Bai's arrival changed Li Xiuzhu's plan.
