Chapter 655: Tracing Back Three Months, the Twelve Zodiac Meeting
Chapter 655: Tracing Back Three Months, the Twelve Zodiac Meeting
The process of tracing back the last half month went smoothly, at least that’s what Dr. Ma said.
"Boss, what’s next," Sun Zhen turned to say something to Qin Muye, but he suddenly realized that the person was gone.
"What’s going on, what’s going on," he never expected that the person who just helped him trace back time would vanish so inexplicably.
But soon, he forced himself to calm down, took out his communicator, and contacted Dr. Ma. This communicator was not a regular one; it was given to him by Dr. Ma during the last time travel, specifically to allow him to contact Dr. Ma at the first opportunity.
"Dr. Ma, it’s Sun Zhen. The situation is like this," as soon as the communicator connected, he briefly explained the situation to Dr. Ma and marked his location.
"Stay where you are, I’ll come and pick you up right away." Dr. Ma believed him, not because Sun Zhen convinced him, but because the communicator’s number was one he had never given out.
So, it was indeed possible that it was given to Sun Zhen by his future self.
Dr. Ma arrived quickly and also calmed the chaos in the area. After all, the biological template was now on Sun Zhen due to the time travel.
"Dr. Ma, this is the biological template." As he spoke, Sun Zhen handed it over, along with various recording devices.
"I understand. You’ve done a great job. Go rest for a bit, and we’ll take care of the rest," Dr. Ma said with a serious expression as he took it.
"Yes, but there’s actually one small matter," Sun Zhen hesitated for a moment and then mentioned Qin Muye’s sudden disappearance, asking Dr. Ma to help find him.
This had never happened before.
"It might be due to the time-traveling pocket watch. You said it only costs a lifespan, but in reality, reversing time probably requires more than just that."
"So, I can only do my best to help you find him."
Dr. Ma was actually swamped with work. For him, not only was there the information provided by Sun Zhen, but the World Crystal was also missing.
These two issues were giving him a massive headache; either one was a major problem.
"Alright, thank you, Dr. Ma." Sun Zhen had no choice but to leave it at that. He knew he wouldn’t find Qin Muye on his own, given the sudden and inexplicable disappearance.
Relying on the vast resources of the Global Defenders organization would definitely be faster than him wandering aimlessly.
After Sun Zhen was taken to rest and checked, Dr. Ma hurriedly took the large amount of data provided by Sun Zhen to meet with the other eleven Zodiac Doctors to confirm the situation.
Since it was an emergency meeting, the other eleven arrived quickly, though not in person, but as projections.
Each Zodiac Doctor had their own responsibilities, like Dr. Long, who always stayed in the Dragon Vein to guard a large number of Omega-level anomalies.
"Dr. Ma, what could be so urgent that you had to use the emergency meeting privilege?" Dr. Rat was surprised. Usually, this privilege was only used for matters concerning world stability.
"An extinction-level event. Everyone is here, and I’ve already uploaded the data. You can look at it yourselves. I don’t have time to write a report, so I’ll explain it orally," Dr. Ma said seriously, relaying what Sun Zhen had told him.
The other eleven Zodiac Doctors also looked very serious, as this matter was indeed too bizarre for them.
"How credible is this information?" Dr. Long asked after Dr. Ma finished speaking. After all, this involved the Dragon Vein and the First Emperor, two anomalies whose problems could indeed reach the disaster level described in the data.
"About 90%, he has the biological template and some of the base’s weapons. There were also witnesses to Sun Zhen’s sudden disappearance during his training," Dr. Ma said.
"In that case, it means the First Emperor is indeed recovering, though the method is unknown. Is it related to the Yuan Ying?" Dr. Snake immediately asked.
"From what we know, it’s not related to the Yuan Ying. Sun Zhen mentioned that the Yuan Ying was used as a catalyst by the time traveler to eliminate hidden dangers within themselves. Now, the time traveler has disappeared, possibly assimilated by the anomaly," Dr. Ma explained. Even if there were issues, with the person gone, where would they find him?
"Regardless of whether it’s related to the Yuan Ying or not, it doesn’t affect our next actions. We can investigate, but we can’t take action against them. Those who are willing to travel back three months to help us shouldn’t be treated with suspicion," Dr. Ox said in a deep, rumbling voice. He seemed very dissatisfied with the group immediately treating the time traveler as a suspect.
The person had genuinely contributed, and while you could question and investigate, you shouldn’t immediately list them as a suspect.
"Propose directly erasing the First Emperor from existence," Dr. Tiger suggested, and the discussion on the Yuan Ying was skipped over due to Dr. Ox’s words.
Deal with the major issue first, and then address the rest.
"Additionally, the Omega-level anomaly, the World Crystal, has also disappeared, at the same time as the biological template," Dr. Ma said.
This statement caused the entire meeting to pause.
It was very straightforward—suspecting that the World Crystal was also obtained in the future, which is why it disappeared like the biological template.
"Are you suggesting that the time traveler obtained it in the future and brought it back?" Dr. Rabbit asked.
"Something like that, but the person has disappeared," Dr. Ma explained the situation again.
"Let’s put that aside for now and focus on the First Emperor issue," Dr. Dragon said.
The World Crystal wasn’t a major problem; it could be tracked and located. The First Emperor, however, was a bigger concern.
The Dragon Vein is one of the most crucial foundations of the Global Defenders, so it must be protected.
Dr. Dragon’s words were unanimously agreed upon. The loss of the World Crystal could be handled by a special task force, but the First Emperor needed to be erased from existence, which meant completely destroying an anomaly and ensuring no further issues, a significant task.
"I propose that Sheri and Taotie provide assistance," Dr. Dog said cautiously.
"The Will of the Abyss can also be considered. It has been stabilizing the First Emperor by consuming the chaos around it in recent years," Dr. Dragon added.
"The Cloud Whale Swarm can be a backup option," Dr. Pig chimed in.
"The Cloud Whale Swarm is not suitable. While their combined strength is sufficient, based on previous assessments, the First Emperor has some control over the Dragon Vein. If the Cloud Whales suffer casualties, it could backfire," Dr. Dragon raised an objection.
Dr. Pig did not argue but acknowledged the point. The discussion continued for nearly three hours, and a plan was quickly established.
To erase the First Emperor from existence required extensive preparation. The Twelve Zodiac Doctors were somewhat relieved that Sun Zhen had returned three months ago rather than two and a half months ago. Otherwise, three days would have been insufficient; at least ten days would have been needed to ensure adequate preparation.
This time, they were erasing an Omega-level anomaly, and the required resources were substantial. They needed a large number of anomalies to cooperate, various equipment and weapons, and contingency plans for after the First Emperor was erased.
Eradicating the First Emperor from the roots meant not only physical elimination but also altering the cognitive perception, similar to how Taotie once consumed a moon, not just the second moon but also the collective human perception of it.
However, Taotie couldn’t accomplish this alone and needed assistance.
Sheri was very suitable for this role. He had once shot down nine suns, a figure of near-godlike power and one of the top forces and trump cards in the Global Defenders organization.
Additionally, Qin Muye was included in the plan. Most of the anomalies included were recognized as part of the human faction.
However, they also needed sufficient combat strength to avoid the risk of failing to handle the First Emperor and instead suffering casualties on their side.
If that happened, the situation might become even more complicated, like the Cloud Whale Swarm transforming into the King of the Cloud Sea. For anomalies, death or destruction was not a favorable outcome.
"Since there are no objections, let’s adjourn the meeting. Arrange everything as soon as possible, and I will be waiting for you at the Dragon Vein," Dr. Dragon said. Since the incident occurred in the Dragon Vein, he would naturally take command, and the other eleven Zodiac Doctors had no objections.
For them, this was not a major issue; as long as the crisis was resolved, it didn’t matter who led the operation.
