The cultivation world, home to ancient merchant families, faces the exhaustion of spiritual energy, the collapse of planes, and impending destruction. Powerful beings tear through the void, seeking...
Time passed by, and when Yan Ziyan called Jiang Wanwan again, she and Old Xia had finished shopping and were preparing to return to Yangjia Village.
"Wanwan, here's what happened..." Yan Ziyan explained the whole story to Jiang Wanwan in detail.
"The most important point is that the Wang family recently launched a drug that can cultivate 'superhumans' with extremely strong combat capabilities, and has therefore gained the support of many people," he emphasized.
Yan Ziyan continued, "That drug has not undergone any clinical trials, yet they plan to promote its use on a large scale in the military. I am worried that this will cause big problems."
"So, you want to stop the Wang family's rampage by prolonging the life of the person above?"
"That's right, that's exactly what I mean!"
"Okay, I understand, senior brother! Wait a moment, I'll be in Kyoto to find you right away!" After saying that, Jiang Wanwan quickly hung up the phone and disappeared in an instant.
The atmosphere was tense and oppressive in a living room of the Wang family's royal villa. Wang Tianyi sat on the sofa, his expression serious, his brows slightly furrowed, and his gaze sharply fixed on the man in front of him.
"How's the investigation going?" His deep voice broke the silence.
The man dared not look directly at Wang Tianyi, and then answered tremblingly, "The repaired camera at the scene did not capture anyone. According to the analysis at the scene, it is believed that the person inside activated the self-destruct mode."
"Oh, you mean the professors activated the self-destruct device themselves and killed themselves!" Wang Tianyi impatiently tugged at his tie, his tone icy cold.
The man's face turned pale, and his body trembled uncontrollably. He knelt on the ground with a thud and said in a trembling voice, "According to...analysis...it's like this."
"Get out! You useless thing!" Wang Tianyi suddenly stood up, his eyes wide with anger, glaring fiercely at the man in front of him, and shouted loudly.
The man was so frightened that he scrambled out of the room, his forehead covered in cold sweat, secretly relieved that he had escaped a terrible ordeal.
However, as soon as he stepped out of the room, he heard a crisp cracking sound behind him—Wang Tianyi angrily smashed the teacup in his hand on the ground.
"A bunch of useless trash! You can't even handle something this simple!" Wang Tianyi roared angrily, his voice echoing throughout the entire villa.
"Father!" Wang Chen called out cautiously from the doorway.
After waiting for a long time and seeing no sound from inside, he breathed a sigh of relief and strode in.
"What is it?" Wang Tian didn't even look up, rubbing his temples, his face full of barely concealed anger.
“Father, don’t worry too much,” Wang Chen said softly. “It’s just a biological laboratory. If it’s destroyed, so be it. The most important thing now is to figure out how to get our people into positions of power.”
"Hmph, you're quite philosophical about it," Wang Tianyi sneered. "That's my life's work..."
“Father, you don’t need to worry,” Wang Chen quickly said. “We have successfully developed the ‘superhuman’ drug, and that is the most important achievement. As for the other losses, they are insignificant.”
"Yes, you're right." Wang Tianyi nodded slightly, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.
"But Father, there's something else I need to tell you," Wang Chen said after a moment's hesitation.
"What is it? Speak quickly!" Wang Tianyi urged impatiently.
"Father, the first batch of 'superhuman' serum we produced... was also destroyed," Wang Chen said softly.
"What?!" Wang Tianyi stood up abruptly, his face turning extremely gloomy. "Why didn't you tell me sooner? In a few days, these drugs will be rolled out in the army. Where am I supposed to find them?"
“Father, please calm down,” Wang Chen quickly explained. “Actually, as long as we let those people see the effects of the injection and make them believe that we have this miraculous drug in our hands, that will be enough. As for the production of the drug, we can start at any time.”
Wang Tianyi pondered for a moment, his anger gradually dissipating. "Now, this is the only way. As long as we convince the higher-ups that we have the ability to manufacture this drug, we can gain their support."
"Father, I'll instruct the men to manufacture a few tonight, just enough for testing!"
"Okay, go ahead!" Wang Tianyi waved his hand and said.
Jiang Wanwan arrived in Beijing before dark, a city that was much more prosperous than City C.
In a private room at Jiuge Private Restaurant in Beijing, Jiang Wanwan recounted her experiences in Shennongjia and the prophecy of the dragon to Yan Ziyan in detail.
“That’s how it is!” Her voice was full of worry and anxiety.
Yan Ziyan listened quietly, a look of shock on his face. He had never imagined that Earth would face such a huge crisis.
After Jiang Wanwan finished speaking, Yan Ziyan was silent for a moment, then asked, "So, you want the government to step in and lead humanity to save itself, or even encourage everyone to cultivate immortality! Is that what you mean?"
Jiang Wanwan nodded and replied firmly, "That's right! We must take action, or the consequences will be unimaginable. Speaking of which, I think that 'superhuman' potion you mentioned is very suspicious; it feels like something from a higher cultivation world."
Yan Ziyan frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "I will find a way to have someone investigate in detail."
Then, Yan Ziyan took out a small piece of white crystal from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Wanwan, saying, "This is something I found in the Wang family's laboratory. Can you tell what it is?"
After Jiang Wanwan took the crystal, the little snake inside her body, which had been calm, suddenly became restless.
Even Elder Xia floated out from the space and carefully examined the crystal in Jiang Wanwan's hand.
"This is..."
Jiang Wanwan sensed a special, pure power within it and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master, do you recognize this?"
"This is a divine stone, but it seems to belong to the previous realm. How did it end up here?"
Yan Ziyan recounted the specific origin of this divine stone once again.
After hearing this, Elder Xia suddenly realized: "It must be that people from higher planes use ordinary mortals to remove impurities from low-grade divine vein ore in order to obtain high-quality divine stones."
Upon hearing this, both Jiang Wanwan and the other woman showed expressions of anger. They hadn't expected these people to be so cruel, not only wanting to refine Blue Star but also planning to exploit the last remaining value of humanity.
At this moment, the restless little snake inside Jiang Wanwan's body suddenly darted out, swallowed the divine stone whole, then circled around and returned to the area above Jiang Wanwan's dantian.
“This…” Jiang Wanwan and Yan Ziyan exchanged a glance, both seeing doubt in each other’s eyes.
"It seems this divine stone has an effect on the little guy," Elder Xia explained, but inwardly he wondered: What is the origin of the little snake inside this disciple's body? It can even devour a divine stone.
A short while later, Yan Ziyan's phone suddenly rang. He answered the call, listened for a while, and his expression became serious.
