Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 433 - 432 Who am I
"Lord Yan Zhen? Is it the Lord Yan Zhen of the Plague Department?"
Zhou Bai inwardly mused, "If it's the Lord Yan Zhen from the Plague Department, wouldn't that mean he is Yan Shan's father?"
Thinking of his partners Yan Shan, Yan Hai, and Yan Yan, Zhou Bai's eyes lit up.
He sighed to himself, "It looks like it's a case of the sheep-like father and son, an entire family of leeks. I must take good care of you all."
Just as Zhou Bai was confirming the other's identity, the figure of Lord Yan Zhen before him pondered, "When did the Heavenly Demon King tell you these things?"
Zhou Bai replied, "Three months ago, those Heavenly Demons came to me with other mutants, saying they wanted my help to attack West Mountain City."
This time, Zhou Bai did not receive any notifications about Lord Yan Zhen's wisdom decreasing, and he frowned incessantly, "No good? Doesn't believe me? Did I slip up somewhere?"
Lord Yan Zhen thought coldly in his heart, "Three months ago? The likelihood is too low, is this guy deceiving me?"
Then he heard Lord Yan Zhen's voice waver, "Since you are a mutant cultivator, do you still remember what your identity was before you mutated?"
Zhou Bai felt that Lord Yan Zhen's tone seemed a bit strange, as if he saw several dialogue options appear before him, each one seemingly leading to tragedy if chosen incorrectly.
Just as Zhou Bai was about to speak, suddenly, as if blessed by a stroke of divine insight, a multitude of intuitions erupted in his mind, one memory after another flashing before his eyes.
"I must be very important, my gemstone must be very important!"
"I must have been a significant figure in the past…"
"I seem to know the Emperor of the Vast Heavens…"
"The Ancient Demon…"
Zhou Bai's gaze slightly intensified and he said, "It seems my previous self was called Christina, and after Primordial Spirit Emergence, I mutated. I don't remember anything before Primordial Spirit Emergence. Right, someone called me the Ancient Demon? I can't remember clearly."
Hearing Zhou Bai's words, Lord Yan Zhen's face beneath his mask changed repeatedly until at the mention of the Ancient Demon, his gaze was filled with astonishment.
He was shocked in his heart, "Ordinary people absolutely wouldn't know the title of the Ancient Demon. Those who do, none of them are in this state of Primordial Spirit Emergence."
"Could he really be Christina? But..."
While Lord Yan Zhen still harbored doubts, with a trace of disbelief,
Zhou Bai mimicked Christina's voice in a soft and endearing way, "I might have been a great figure in the past, I seem to also know the Emperor of the Vast Heavens, do you think I might be his mother?"
"It's her!" raged Lord Yan Zhen inside, "This voice, this tone, and the content of this talk... Knowing so much secrecy and having mutated after Primordial Spirit Emergence, there's no mistake, it has to be her, Christina."

Zhou Bai: "..."
"What's happening?" Zhou Bai inwardly raged, "Where did Li Xiuzhu come from? Why did he also lose intelligence?"
A flicker passed through Zhou Bai's eyes, "That's right, I had Lin Muqing use the Sky Flipping Sect's channels to leak the actions of the Plague Department's cultivators, the Sky Flipping Sect knew, so naturally, that means Li Xiuzhu knew, and that's why he rushed over, right?"
Zhou Bai quickly pondered in his heart, "Li Xiuzhu must be nearby now, so he could hear the lies I told, and he even believed them, which means he also knows about Christina?"
Zhou Bai decided not to dwell on the deeper reasons but continued to think, "But how did he deceive Lord Yan Zhen... Divination, he must have used the power of divination to hide himself."
"At least he must be able to hear what's happening here; otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen for my lie."
Zhou Bai thought to himself with delight, "If Li Xiuzhu were here, and I further reduced Lord Yan Zhen's intelligence, perhaps we could pull off something big."
"However, the lie I tell next must be one that Lord Yan Zhen will believe, but Li Xiuzhu won't."
Meanwhile, Lord Yan Zhen, upon hearing Zhou Bai's response, had his eyes flickering with intrigue, seemingly lost in thought. He then said to Zhou Bai, "Christina, you were very familiar with me before, we were both cultivators from the Heavenly Department. Do you still remember your past with the Heavenly Department?"
Zhou Bai thought to himself, 'Hmph, the scent of lies, trying to deceive me? Do I really look like a fool?'
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Bai naively said, "Heavenly Department? I don't remember. Right after I woke up, the first person I saw was Li Xiuzhu from the Sky Flipping Sect. Maybe he saved me.
"Later on, I also sporadically recalled some things in the Sky Flipping Sect, like the matters of the Plague Department, which seems to be the experiments conducted here by Lord Yan Zhen of the Plague Department, right? I remembered this and that's why I hurried over. Are you not from the Plague Department, but from the Heavenly Department?"
Upon hearing this, Lord Yan Zhen felt a slight jolt in his heart, his first reaction being that his identity had been exposed, and the Primordial Spirit energy around seemed to be slightly stirred at any moment.
However, after reviewing his actions, he was certain that he had not exposed his identity in front of the other party.
If this were his usual state, Lord Yan Zhen might have had his doubts, but preconceptions, coupled with the continuous reduction in wisdom, led him to believe again.

Lord Yan Zhen asked, "Li Xiuzhu saved you?"
Zhou Bai replied, "Yeah, he seems to have a divination formation that can be used to heal injuries, so he saved me."
Lord Yan Zhen said, "So it was like that, you were saved with divination... that explains it, it must be so..."
Lord Yan Zhen's wisdom -10
While Li Xiuzhu, observing the situation, felt inexplicably confused, "Huh? Is this guy lying? I've never saved Christina... It feels so complex... Why can't I figure it out..."
At that moment, Li Xiuzhu was in a state invisible to the outside world, but his own strength had also been reduced to a limit, to the point where even his Primordial Spirit power couldn't spread out of his Sea of Consciousness. His eyes were fixed on Lord Yan Zhen, as if searching for some kind of opportunity.
As Lord Yan Zhen's wisdom decreased, his wariness towards Zhou Bai also kept diminishing, "What else do you remember?"
Zhou Bai thought to himself, 'By now he must fully believe I'm Christina, right?'
Thinking of what Christina would normally say, Zhou Bai said, "I am very pretty."
Lord Yan Zhen nodded, recalling Christina's appearance, "Yes, you are."

Zhou Bai said, "I remember that I am a rare beauty."

Zhou Bai said, "I remember I am so cute, and many men like me."
Lord Yan Zhen's wisdom -15
Following a series of attacks lowering intelligence, Lord Yan Zhen's total wisdom had decreased by 75 points.
Zhou Bai thought to himself, 'Thanks, Tina. Luckily what you said is all true.'
Sensing that the first round of intelligence reduction was about to end, he hurriedly said, "Come closer, I have something good to show you."
