Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 477 - 476 Harvest

Hearing what Zhou Bai said, Jiaojiao instantly understood, "Your realm is insufficient, the Time Rebirth Technique can't be perfectly executed."

The key to the Time Rebirth Technique is to connect with the void, whether it is offering one's own flesh to the void, recording physical information within the void, or using the material of the void to recreate the body, it all requires tremendously strong Primordial Spirit power and a very high degree of Dao integration.

Especially since the stronger the physical body, the greater the consumption of Primordial Spirit power.

This time Zhou Bai reassembled his physical body and had almost exhausted all his Primordial Spirit power, yet still was unable to perfectly rebirth his body. His current state was probably only about one-third as strong as his original body's capabilities. He needed to spend more time and energy to continue the Time Rebirth Technique to gradually recover.

After all, Zhou Bai's body had undergone various transformations and was inscribed with countless runes, making the reassembling of his body exceptionally difficult.

'Fortunately, I can use my laziness points to recover and don't need to keep using the Time Rebirth Technique.' Zhou Bai considered his control over the Time Rebirth Technique in his heart. freewebnσvel.cøm

'The degree of Dao integration is too low. A 40% Dao integration rate means that the reassembly is too slow, and the consumption is too great. After regenerating the entire body, there's hardly any fighting power left. It's better to use laziness points for treatment.'

'Only when my Dao integration rate continuously improves, making the connection with the void easier and more fluent, can I greatly reduce the time required for rebirth and the energy consumed, will using the Time Rebirth Technique really be valuable.'

However, although the cost-effectiveness of using the Time Rebirth Technique is a bit low right now, learning this skill was already very worthwhile for Zhou Bai.

And as everyone watched Zhou Bai truly rebirth his own body, their gazes were filled with shock.

Ying Hui laughed heartily, "Genius! Zhou Bai, you are a true unparalleled genius! Hahaha, our Three Pure Dao Sect has produced such a remarkable talent, the future is promising, oh how promising."

As he spoke, he suddenly shed tears, as if all the grievances from the past oppressions of the heavenly court, the regrets of repeated defeats in battles against the Heavenly Demon, and the despair of his severely injured body unable to make any progress in cultivation, all washed away with those tears.

Ying Hui looked at Zhou Bai in front of him as if he truly saw hope for humanity. He quickly wiped his tears and asked, "Zhou Bai, how are you feeling now? You want to rest?"

Jing Xiu also breathed a sigh of relief, "Big Brother Zhou, you really scared us just now."

Xia Li looked at Zhou Bai with a baffled expression, 'I just can't understand it. How does his brain work? Can there really be such a huge difference between the talents of people?'

She said with a hint of jealousy, "Zhou Bai, congratulations. You're guaranteed to take first place in the Daluo Heaven discussion."

Lin Muqing watched Zhou Bai with the thought, 'Zhou Bai's talent is probably unique among our entire human race. Such talent is truly terrifying. If it can be used to assist the Sect Hierarch, it would be a tremendous boost to his plans. I should persuade him once more.'

Zheng Wentian sighed inwardly, 'This guy… he's even more like a divine being than I am. He couldn't possibly be the secret son of the Haotian God Emperor or the Supreme Heavenly Venerate, could he?' But after thinking of Zhou Bai's character, he felt that it was highly unlikely.

Zheng Wentian, 'If Haotian God Emperor had such a son, he probably would have broken his legs long ago.'

Zheng Wentian, 'Damn, I'm so jealous. If I had his talent, even breaking my legs every day would be fine.'

Nasha's eyes shone brightly as she looked at Zhou Bai as if looking at an idol.

Today, Zhou Bai's performance was truly admirable to her, that manner of cultivating a Divine Skill that no one had managed to complete in hundreds of years in just a few minutes was dazzling and shocking—that made her feel an involuntary sense of admiration. The others, who had witnessed various extraordinary events involving Zhou Bai, were not quite as quick to feel such admiration.

Jiaojiao waved her hand and said, "Alright, everyone remember to keep today's events a secret. Don't mention it to outsiders." She turned her head to Zhou Bai, "Zhou Bai, you just cultivated the Time Rebirth Technique, now you need to rest properly, stabilize your spirit, and avoid Daoist practices for the next few days."

Zhou Bai smiled and looked at his auxiliary cultivation system panel:

Dao Integration Rate: 40.0%

Pollution Rate: 90/105

Primordial Spirit Value: 7221

Divine Chart: Nine Calamities of Man and Heaven

Laziness Points: 7.3 million

Zhou Bai felt very content. His pollution rate had soared to 90 points due to the recent reconstitution of his body. Gradually, it would recover without using the Time Rebirth Technique, and under normal circumstances, the pollution rate would be around 80 points.

The pollution level had increased from 30 points to 80 points, and the immunity to damage from the polluted corporeal body had also risen from 15% to about 40%.

Zhou Bai's defensive power could be said to have greatly increased. From now on, any attack made against him in his normal state would have nearly half of its damage directly negated.

"Unfortunately, after practicing the Time Rebirth Technique, the pollution levels of the two Divine Skills I've acquired have become even higher. I fear that if I were to cultivate the third of the Five Great Divine Skills, the increase in pollution level would be even more significant."

Zhou Bai vaguely felt there was a mysterious connection between the Five Great Divine Skills, where the more he learned, the more rapidly the pollution level increased.

He must wait for his Daoist comprehension to improve, and his various attributes to strengthen before considering learning the next one.

With this in mind, he couldn't help but recall the scene he witnessed in his dream when he received the inheritance of the Time Rebirth Technique.

...

In the boundless and limitless void, streams of long rivers were spread out before his eyes, sometimes merging, sometimes diverging, roaring tumultuously as they rushed towards the endless depths of the void.

A Daoist stood above these great rivers, his gaze sweeping across the scenes within the rivers as if reflecting the life and death of countless creatures, the rise and fall of dynasties, and the prosperity and decline of numerous civilizations.

"I have observed the long river of the past and the myriad of history and specially created this Time Rebirth Technique for the future."

"Do not forget..."

"Rebirth...through the ages..."

"Do not forget...do not forget...do not forget..."

...

"The Time Rebirth Technique is for recreating various pasts and rebirthing the times. Its use in rebirthing oneself is but the most basic application."

In Zhou Bai's heart, he felt an infinite sense of wonder: "If this is true, then who exactly created this Divine Skill? Why is it that no one in the Three Pure Dao Sect has displayed such mighty power?"

Zhou Bai then remembered the scenes he saw when he inherited the Tianhe Star Explosion technique; the images of the galaxy erupting and the birth and death of countless stars were so vivid, yet they seemed so distant from the cultivators on Earth.

"Sigh, I'll stop thinking about it for now. I'll wait until I have time and an opportunity when the gemstone is not in its cooldown period to ask the Great Elder about it."

Overall, even though the Time Rebirth Technique didn't have a high cost-performance ratio due to his insufficient realm, it still helped Zhou Bai immensely.

This technique is also a high-level Daoist art that would become stronger as Zhou Bai's Daoist comprehension and Primordial Spirit's power continued to increase. Its potential was incredible, far exceeding the mere task of rebirthing oneself.

While thinking of the gemstone's cooldown, Zhou Bai turned his gaze toward his cultivation support system panel:

"Learning has used up about 800,000 Laziness Points, and cultivation has consumed about 400,000. Out of a total of 1.2 million, the Laziness Points dropped from 8.5 million to 7.3 million." Zhou Bai compared this consumption to what he had spent learning Tianhe Star Explosion: "It's a lot less than before. It must be because my Daoist comprehension has increased, along with enhancements in all attributes and significant boosts from talent and appearance bonuses."

But now, with his gemstone still on cooldown, Zhou Bai had no plans to retreat and borrow the Laziness Points spent on learning, even if it meant waiting for the cooldown.

Because he needed to race against time. As soon as the cooldown ended, he would immediately rush over to the Evil Sect and reclaim the Original Dao Repository.

If he were to wait a few days to learn and then reverse time, he could save a batch of Laziness Points.

But this meant that if he was to take back the Original Dao Repository 05 from the Evil Sect, he would have to wait an additional seven days for the cooldown. Otherwise, with so many experts in the Evil Sect, he wouldn't dare go without the gemstone's cooldown being ready.

To wait another seven days? Zhou Bai simply couldn't accept that. He was desperate to go right away.

"Every additional minute, every hour I wait, my Original Dao Repository 05 could be further damaged by those fools in the Evil Sect."

So Zhou Bai was willing to lose some Laziness Points rather than wait those extra five days.

"Once my gemstone's cooldown is ready, I'll head straight there. Let those idiots from the Evil Sect cough up the Original Dao Repository 05, with interest."
