Mad Doctor No. 9

Wang Tian struggled to get up, but his injuries were too severe to allow him to stand.

Is he really going to perish here? Killed by a monster created based on his prototype?

No! No way!

Wang Tian's gaze was firm.

He recalled Shennong's forbidden technique, "Burning Blood and Burning Heaven," which unleashed unparalleled power in a short period of time at the cost of burning one's essence and blood.

However, the price is death.

But at that moment, Zero's movements came to an abrupt halt.

"Gene resonance..." the chip said mechanically.

"What?" The Creator was stunned.

Zero clutched his head, screaming in agony, "My memories are all jumbled! Who am I? And who are you?"

Wang Tian roared, "You are me, and I am you! Wang Tian, ​​you are Wang Tian! You are a disciple of the Dragon Gate, and I will kill you! You are the true guardian!"

"Guardian... Zero..." Zero murmured, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.

"Human!" Wang Tianqiang struggled to his feet. "You are conscious! Don't let them control you!"

"Chip! Listen to me! Kill him!" the Creator screamed.

Zero glanced at him, then at Wang Tian, ​​and slammed his fist into the ground!

"Boom!" A deafening roar.

The earth cracked open, and the entire laboratory trembled.

Zero grabbed Wang Tian, ​​and his entire body shot into the sky, breaking through the ceiling and rushing towards the ground!

"No—!" The Creator roared in despair.

Zero led Wang Tian out of the underground base and raced into the depths of the jungle.

A few minutes later, he had reached the edge of the island.

On the beach, Zero put Wang Tian down, his gaze complex: "I sensed it, your fragmented memories. You saved many people, you loved some people, you protected this world."

Wang Tian gasped for breath: "You have that potential too. You're human, not a monster."

Zero smiled slightly, revealing a human-like smile for the first time: "Perhaps... but I have a self-destruct program in my body, and the Creator will not allow me to go out of control."

He glanced at the island; the alarms were blaring louder, and the pursuers were getting closer.

Zero ordered, "Go now."

"Let's go together!" Wang Tian said.

"Go!" Zero slammed his palm on the sea, creating a towering wave that propelled Wang Tian toward the distant fishing boat.

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and rushed towards the pursuers behind him.

Wang Tian was swept away by the waves. In his last moments, he saw Zero wreaking havoc, and... a mushroom cloud rising from the depths of the island.

Zero initiated the self-destruct program, destroying the entire laboratory along with it.

Wang Tian was rescued by the crew on the fishing boat.

He lay on the deck, gazing at the burning island in the distance, his feelings a mix of emotions.

Zero, the monster created based on his prototype, ultimately chose humanity and self-destruction.

The Immortal Society not only lost an important base, but also the most important achievement of the "Container Project," and a large sum of money.

However, Wang Tian knew that the other party would never give up so easily.

The day of the total solar eclipse is approaching.

The next day, Mr. Xu returned to Jiangnan City and convened an emergency meeting.

Those attending the meeting included: Wang Tian, ​​Nightingale, Zhang Qingyun, Qin Yuwei, Lin Wei, Elder Chi Jiu, Celestial Master Zhang Xuanling, and Nangong Yue.

Old Xu reported on the results and losses of this operation on the isolated island: "The Eternal Life Society's base on the high seas was destroyed, and Zero, the core achievement of the 'Container Project,' also self-destructed. However, we lost the lives of twelve agents, and Wang Tian was seriously injured. Although Eternal Life Society will suffer great damage, its foundation will not be harmed."

Nightingale opened the satellite imagery: "According to the latest news, the remnants of the Eternal Life Society have gathered near the Taklamakan Desert. They have constructed a massive structure in this desert, which appears to be an 'Altar of Descent.' They will hold a sacrificial ceremony on the day of the total solar eclipse."

A stunning scene appeared on the screen: in the middle of the desert, a circular building with a diameter of nearly 1,000 meters was basically completed, with a complex structure and filled with all kinds of equipment.

Old Xu said in a deep voice, "According to Senior Nangong's calculations, the day of the total solar eclipse is the time when the seven planets are aligned, and the tide of primordial energy in heaven and earth is at its peak. If he succeeds, it will be a disaster."

Elder Chi Jiu asked, "Do we have sufficient strength?"

"It's not enough," Old Xu said bluntly. "That's why we're holding this meeting to establish a 'Guardians Alliance' that integrates the strengths of all parties."

He glanced at everyone: "Wang Tianlai will serve as the overall commander of this alliance. Nightingale will be responsible for intelligence gathering and coordination. Senior Zhang Xuanling and Senior Chi Jiu will respectively lead the Daoist sect and the Gu clan. Lin Wei will be responsible for logistics and medical work. Qin Yuwei and Zhang Qingyun will be the mobile force. Please give us your guidance, Senior Nangong."

"We will do our best, but due to international law, we cannot intervene. Therefore, you are the main force."

Wang Tian stood up: "I have only one requirement, and that is that those who participate in the war must do so voluntarily. This is a request, not an order."

After a brief silence, Zhang Xuanling spoke: "Longhu Mountain has an inescapable responsibility!"

Chi Jiu: "The Gu clan is the same."

Lin Wei: "Although my Yun family is small, we can only do our best."

Qin Yuwei and Zhang Qingyun said in unison, "We'll follow our master, or Wang Tian."

In the video, Nangong Yue's voice could be heard: "The Nangong family will arrive in the desert three days from now to set up the 'Star Lock Array' to minimize the impact of the ceremony."

Old Xu nodded.

Thus, the Guardian Alliance is officially established! During this time, we need to do three things: first, increase our own strength; second, formulate specific battle plans; and third, weaken their power as much as possible.

After the meeting, Wang Tian approached Nangong Yue privately, wanting to talk to her.

Wang Tian asked, "Senior, before Zero perished, he said that if the divine envoy came, he should be destroyed. What did that mean?"

Nangong Yue remained silent for a while before speaking: "There is definitely more than one Zero in the 'Container Project.' The Eternal Life Society may also have backups, or perhaps... they have other contingency plans. You need to be prepared to face the 'Divine Messenger'."

"What happened?"

Nangong Yue's expression was serious. "The most outstanding genes among the seven bloodlines, physical qualities far exceeding those of ordinary people, and may even have inherited some of the knowledge and abilities of the divine messenger."

Wang Tian clenched his fists: "I understand. I will definitely handle this matter well."

For the next two months, everyone was busy preparing.

Under Nangong Yue's guidance, Wang Tian's Starry Sky Body Tempering Technique improved rapidly, his injuries were fully healed, and his strength reached a new level.

Shennong's third eye was also restored and became even stronger.

Qin Yuwei fully awakened her bloodline and learned many of Shennong's medical secrets.
