Jiang Weishan and Yu Gang, due to their higher cultivation levels and more rational minds, didn't fully believe what Zhou Bai said earlier. At this moment, they were shocked as they watched the twisted text accompanied by whispers echoing in their ears, their faces filled with uncertainty and suspicion. Seeing the expressions on their faces, Zhou Bai realized some people might not understand, so he swept his Primordial Spirit energy as if manipulating a puppet, controlling a young man to lie on the ground, his limbs bending in reverse, running, jumping, and climbing walls with agility. Zhou Bai thought to himself, "As long as everyone masters this way of running in the future, survival chances will greatly increase, and there's no need to activate any demonic bloodline." Christina said speechlessly, "How can ordinary people have the strength to run ?" Zhou Bai said in his consciousness sea, "Was I ever an ordinary person? This action may be a bit uncomfortable at first, but you'll get used to it after running more. Not only does defensive power increase sharply, making you immune to most attacks, but you also have the vision of your back and the sky, making escape safer." The whispers came again, and under Zhou Bai's urging, people started crawling on the ground. Jiang Weishan looked in amazement at the person running while lying down, unable to help but wonder in his heart: 'Are we really not mutated? Or have we mutated without realizing it?' Meanwhile, Zhou Bai extended his hands, extracting pollution from Guang Ying while creating the Seeds of Madness. One by one, the Seeds of Madness dripped from his hands like black slime. These Seeds of Madness, formed from black mud, twisted and jumped on the ground, extending black tentacles, rolling to the forefront of individuals. "Take my Longevity Fruits and give them to more people." Everyone picked up the jumping Longevity Fruits on the ground, treasuring them in their hands. Christina said, "You're lowering their IQ to make them listen to you, right." Zhou Bai said, "It's just the initial phase; there's no helping it. Who said my power lacks divine allure? As more people understand the benefits of the Seeds of Madness and lying down, I won't need to lower their IQ, they'll lie down themselves." On the side, Xuan Nu watched the whole scene with her expression changing unpredictably. Because she first thought, wouldn't doing this give humanity a way to resist mutation and stop mutating? However, out of trust for Zhou Bai, she didn't stop him, though her face was full of doubt, she asked in her heart, "Zhou Bai, why help humans resist distortion?" Listening to the prayer transmitted from Xuan Nu in his heart, Zhou Bai replied with a smile, "To take something first, you must give something. Did you forget that I once extracted and transmitted the Power of Deformation from you and Guang Ying?" Out of precaution against Xuan Nu, Zhou Bai, though having told her about followers, never mentioned the four specific directions of followers. Upon hearing this, Xuan Nu's eyes suddenly brightened, "You want to turn more people into your followers? Once someone becomes a follower, whether they mutate is up to your whim." "You truly are something else, Zhou Bai." Xuan Nu's thoughts instantly expanded, watching the group of humans lying on the ground, she could already foresee humans eagerly becoming Zhou Bai's followers to resist distortion, insanity, and mutation. And once all humans become Zhou Bai's followers, Zhou Bai can turn all humans into mutated beings. Then Xuan Nu asked her doubt, "So Zhou Bai... have you already mastered the choice to let followers gain this lying-down power?" After receiving an affirmative answer, Xuan Nu had no objections to Zhou Bai's 'plan' anymore, even admired greatly, feeling that all humans mutating was just a matter of time. "Is there anything I can do?" Xuan Nu asked expectantly. Zhou Bai thought for a moment, he still needed to cultivate the divine art and five Divine Skills, with various things to do, so he considered whether to leave the task of expanding the scale of the followers to Xuan Nu. 'It's also to keep Xuan Nu busy, so she doesn't keep thinking about helping me in Central City.' At this moment, seeing Xuan Nu convinced by his lies, Zhou Bai felt the issue was minor, so he said, "From now on, I'll be responsible for producing the Seeds of Madness every day, and you'll recruit followers, expanding the scale." "Try your best to make them trust, worship me, so the followers' effect is stronger and more potent." "Also, don't expose my identity..." Upon hearing Zhou Bai's requests, Xuan Nu nodded fervently, saying energetically, "I understand, Zhou Bai, leave it to me." At this moment, Xuan Nu only felt that with every follower she added for Zhou Bai, there would be another mutated being in the future. Just thinking about this fueled her motivation immensely. Zhou Bai said loudly, "When I return to the outskirts of Daluo Heaven, the Saintess of the Origin will deliver my voice, record my words. You should spread the Primordial Path under her guidance..." Xuan Nu looked with full energy at the more than seventy people present, the blood-colored wings behind her suddenly opening wide, her aura soaring crazily, the Power of Deformation increasing sharply, pressing towards everyone, causing them to feel a jolt of fear in their hearts, deeply appreciating the terror of this Saintess. So Zhou Bai entrusted the followers here to Xuan Nu, while he concealed his presence, observing the training effects of the 30 people under the influence of the Chou Map. Xuan Nu's physical fitness and intelligence far surpassed ordinary people, and managing these mortals was a breeze, not to mention her proven prowess and the incidents Zhou Bai displayed to maintain control. In just a few words, she had these mortals in order, sending them out to start recruiting more into the Beginning Sect. Xuan Nu prayed in her heart for a reminder, "The things we're doing in Donghua City, should we inform Jiaojiao and give her a heads up?" Zhou Bai transmitted back, "Don't worry, I'll go talk to her quickly. Knowing that I can eliminate the threat of distortion and mutation on a large scale, she'll definitely agree." Zhou Bai could feel that on the spot, there were already more than a dozen people who became his Foolish Apostles due to trust. He smiled slightly and directly extracted the pollution from their bodies. These people living in this world twisted by the Heavenly Dao possessed some pollution, although not much, but small amounts accumulate. Zhou Bai could already foresee that as the number of his followers increased, he would gain an enormous Power of Deformation. While Xuan Nu helped Zhou Bai expand the followers' scale in Donghua City, Inside the Heavenly Demon base, Zhou Bai (Twisted Shadow) had been coordinating with Em and the others in the 64 Trigrams experiments, wanting to see the past of the trigrams through divination signs. However, repeated attempts resulted in continuous failures. Zhou Bai shook his head, "No, my necklace's trigrams can only see the past within a region; to see years-old trigrams, they need to move with them." The voice of the Heavenly Demon Queen echoed, "That's why we need to probe across space through the void. Once successful, we'll be able to locate countless past information in the void, becoming omniscient beings." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel~fire~net Zhou Bai: "Why not try throwing your trigrams into the void, then I'll observe it..." Heavenly Demon Queen: "Too risky, we can't afford the damage of trigrams." Zhou Bai didn't think so, because today he finally waited for the gemstone's cooldown to finish. In the shocked gaze of the Heavenly Demon Queen, Zhou Bai threw the music-box-shaped 20th trigram into the void. Then he held the necklace trigram, looking towards the direction where the necklace entered the void. In his eyes, the world suddenly transformed, a memory not belonging to Zhou Bai seemed to flood into his mind. As if his eyes traversed countless years, seeing amid flames, sixty-four light shadows gradually split apart. A voice whispered in his ear, "The 64 trigrams are completed today, patching the void, seize the moment, go now."
