536: Chapter 536 Li Heng's Preemptive Execution

"Holy crap, they're playing this even wilder than I thought."

Hearing Zhou Yan say this, the two people who were rushing through the passage were also stunned for a moment.

"Senior Brother, what are you talking about?"

Zhou Yan snapped back to his senses, realizing he was still on the move.

"Nothing, just some news from the undercover agent. Things are a bit more troublesome than expected."

"We need to act as quickly as possible. Once we're back, we'll see how their research on that golden leaf is going. At the very least, we need to know what their follow-up plan is."

Shi Suiyan said with some concern.

"Senior Brother, can you manage alone?"

Zhou Yan nodded and responded.

"No problem. I know the route, and the personnel have been arranged in advance. I might even be faster than you guys, so you should be careful."

The three signaled each other with their eyes before splitting into two groups at the intersection ahead.

Shi Suiyan and Xie Bian headed in one direction, while Zhou Yan went alone to the place where Yuan Chenling was being held.

Listening to the communication channel, Zheng Dafu was breaking through at an extremely fast speed, and other units were also quickly completing their objectives.

A strange sense of worry arose in Zhou Yan's heart.

The Joyous Union Sect's side was too slow. That golden leaf was clearly extraordinary, and as a result, progress was very sluggish.

But intelligence is time-sensitive. If the contents inside can't be deciphered soon, once a change occurs, it will be trouble.

I hope everything goes smoothly.

Outside the Dream City, Zhou Su was waiting for news at a temporary Joyous Union Sect outpost.

"Is the deciphering still not finished?"

Hearing Zhou Su's urging, the Joyous Union Sect researchers felt immense pressure.

"Young Sect Master, this linqin leaf is produced by the Truth Cult's Sacred Tree; it is the crystallization of their top-tier technology."

"Although we also study technology, our directions are different, so analysis will inevitably be very troublesome."

Looking at Zhou Su's cold face, a researcher nervously wiped his glasses.

"But please don't worry. Progress has reached 96%. Extrapolating from this speed, it should be done in about an hour and a half."

Zhou Su was still dissatisfied with this.

"This information is incredibly important right now. If it's related to the plan Zhou Yan and the others are currently executing..."

"What use will it be for you to tell us after they've finished the plan and come out?"

"If it's completed within an hour, the reward will be tripled, follow-up vacations will be arranged, those eligible for promotion will be promoted, and those with insufficient seniority will receive extra star coins."

Before the researcher could show an excited expression, Zhou Su quickly added another sentence.

"If it's not completed, you can all go mine in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains."

The researcher and the others who were eavesdropping instantly felt a chill in their hearts and worked even harder to study the golden leaf floating in the center.

Zhou Su turned and rested her hands on the railing, looking at the leaf, but her mind was on something else.

Being able to bring out an linqin leaf means this was at least at the behest of those old fellows in Eden. Does it involve Void Refining or even Mahayana?

Zhou Su had reported it to her teacher the moment she first saw the item, but she hadn't received a response yet.

I hope everything goes smoothly.

"The plan is as follows. Does anyone have any further questions?"

In the pure white conference room, Li Heng was looking at the group of people with varying expressions, waiting for a response.

Lord Canglan finished listening to the entire plan and synchronized it all to Zhou Yan.

Li Heng's plan was very direct. He was going to take the Sui Banquet Plan and use it directly, making only minor adjustments.

Regarding the Sui Banquet Plan, Lord Canglan also had relevant information in his mind. It was the original controller of Sui, who by capturing a large number of children with Time-type talents and having them connect to Sui, would provide computing power for it to start working.

But Li Heng's plan was slightly different.

In the selection of candidates for the Sui Banquet, he no longer needed to find children with Time talents; instead, he could find anyone and directly make them a 'Banquet'.

And those who became a Banquet would grow rapidly in a short period. After completing their initial growth, Li Heng would launch a war between the Banquets.

The growth of the new version of the Banquet was extremely fast itself, and the clash between Banquet and Banquet was a process of mutual adaptation and mutual development.

Whether it was slaughter or simply winning, as long as there was a battle, it would be enough to restart Sui.

And once one person won until the end, they would become the external vessel for Sui, fusing with the Law of Time to become the first Body Integration Stage in history to merge with the Law of Time.

The amount of information here was massive, making everyone present gasp in shock.

They had thought this matter would be a grand undertaking, and they more or less knew some things about Sui from the past.

But they hadn't expected Li Heng to actually play it this big.

Seeing everyone's reaction, the corners of Li Heng's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

Calculating the time, the people from the Taiyi Sect should be about to succeed, so it was time to activate the backup plan.

The design of this pure white room was intended to isolate everything from the outside world; even if a Soul Transformation battle was raging outside, it wouldn't affect the people inside.

Now that the plan had been explained, voices of opposition would soon ring out.

"I object!" The first person to stand up surprised everyone.

It was actually one of the School of Physics' own, Isaac.

Seeing him stand up, even Aleph, who was preparing to exert pressure again, could only frown and sit back down, watching to see what he wanted to say.

Isaac looked at Li Heng with a cold face.

"This is different from the initial plan. It was agreed that machines would be used as the Banquet, using the massive Power Of Will and emotional strength of the people in the Dream City to create a living mechanized Soul Transformation!"

"You never said at the start that you would use people, and especially not in a place like the Dream City!"

Zhou Yan was already 'online' at this point. Although he hadn't fully taken over, only controlling the vision of one eye, he still saw this scene.

At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Good grief, you aren't any better either.

Didn't the Truth Cult agree not to touch experiments that create life? Are you addicted to crashing and burning?

However, it was clear that Li Heng's plan was even more insane.

It sounded like the original plan of the School of Physics was to create several mechanical lifeforms, similar to that Mahayana of the Joyous Union Sect, or Sui.

Zhou Yan guessed that they didn't dare let Sui think for itself again, so they wanted to use a clever method to create a few artificial lifeforms they could still control to think in Sui's place.

And once they did that, it meant they would artificially create several potentially powerful Soul Transformations. Then, with one Body Integration overseeing and several Soul Transformations assisting, the logic would hold up.

But Li Heng's current plan seemed to have a large—no, an extreme conflict with the original plan.

Just as Isaac was about to continue his questioning and Aleph was preparing to get up and say a few words, the meeting was suddenly interrupted.

"Lords, this is bad! Our base has been attacked!"

"They also destroyed many of our experimental areas. We are going to— Bang!"

Before the young man could finish, he suddenly expanded into a large lump of meat, then rapidly contracted into a small black marble.

Finally, it fell to the floor and shattered into pieces.

"How undisciplined."

The one who struck was Xieli, who had been silent all this time.

Before everyone could react, Li Heng slammed both hands on the table and shouted loudly.

"The base is under attack! What are you all waiting for?"

"The original plan can still be discussed; everyone can have more opinions."

"But if the prepared equipment and machines are destroyed and we are exposed, then no amount of discussion will be of any use!"

Everyone present was a shrewd individual. A brief look at the performance of these few people gave them a general idea of the situation.

Aleph looked at Yun Mingtian, Kong Xuan, Cen Xiu, and Xieli, before finally fixing his gaze on Li Heng, who had a face full of urgency but eyes that held a hint of mockery.

"Good! Very good!"

"Li Heng, so you're pulling this move, huh!"

"I hope that after this plan, next time you won't be growing on a tree!"

After those words, Aleph rushed out at an extremely fast speed.

Winter was also trembling with rage at this point.

"Act first, report later. You really are a lunatic!"

Like a soap bubble popping, Winter also vanished from the spot.

Seeing the leaders of the two factions leave, the others also left the conference room as quickly as possible, including Isaac.

Only the few people Aleph had looked at earlier remained.

Lord Canglan wanted to follow them to see if anything unexpected would happen, but Li Heng held him back and said,

"Don't worry, everything has been arranged. Only one or two of them will actually make it out."

"Next, I will completely isolate the Small World of the Dream City. Our plan can begin."

Meanwhile, in the Joyous Union Sect research institute, a group of researchers looked at the displayed data in shock.

"This is bad!"

"What a bunch of lunatics!"
