Chapter 399: Chapter 397 Human Cradle Plan Foundation

Venerable Qin sipped her tea as she paced the attic of her own estate.

The weather was overcast, and the green grasslands and azure mountains before her eyes also lost their color, which was quite dispiriting.

She took a sip of tea, placed the teacup on the silver tray held by a servant, and then waved her hand.

The servant bowed and retreated backward, leaving the attic courtyard.

"Commoners," Venerable Qin shook her head and said.

At that moment, hurried footsteps came from downstairs; she turned her head and saw it was her favorite courtier.

It was that man who had visited her in the hospital, Li Lianhua.

His face was round, and he stood no taller than 1.6 meters, but he had excellent skin and neatly trimmed hair. He wore a dark blue silk robe with traditional black cloth skirts of the Dayin Dynasty’s male servants underneath, matched with a pair of purple brocade trousers, black cloth shoes on his feet, and he patted his sleeves before calling out loudly, "Longevity and prosperity to Qiansui Lady~"

"Off with you! Stop flattering me. I am now nothing but a marginalized, power-lost old woman," Venerable Qin sighed.

"Eh~ don’t say that~ my master eh~ I have to tell you some great news~" Li Lianhua smiled.

"Oh? There’s good news?" Venerable Qin smiled girlishly, pretending to be coy as she turned to glance at him.

Li Lianhua hurriedly leaned in, stretching his head forward and said, "Let me tell you a huge piece of good news~ Zhao Ling, a few months ago she went to Heisai State and did not find Wei Tianyang at all."

Venerable Qin was delighted but suddenly furrowed her brows and said angrily, "That wily Mr. Xu!! To think he’s been deceiving me as if I were a clueless child?!!"

Li Lianhua waited for praise with a giggling smile, not saying a word.

"I thought Zhao Ling’s gaze towards me was off every day! When she returned from Heisai State, Old Xu loudly proclaimed that the Emperor had met with Wei Tianyang, which scared me..."

"So that’s how it is, a grand deception then! Hey! To think that I’ve wasted over six months indulging in self-pity and vanity!"

Venerable Qin was both angry and happy, and her nearly extinguished ambitions were reignited.

Standing to the side, Li Lianhua’s smile widened as he said, "That’s why I said, you are a lucky star descended from heaven~ destined to be Qiansui!"

"Heh~! It’s a good thing I held back. Tell me~ what’s the situation with Zhao Ling now?" Venerable Qin laughed.

"They are preparing for reforms; the research institute is still studying the Lingxian Sect’s technology, but progress is slow," Li Lianhua quickly replied.

"Reform, reform, reform! Always talking about reform! The ancestral rules have been completely overhauled!! Alas... Those technologies from the Lingxian Sect, if sold to the Westerners, how much would they be worth! They must be almost bankrupt by now!!" Venerable Qin was anxious.

"Qiansui~ should we start putting our plans into action? We might not control the military now, but Mr. Xu is busy catching spies and dealing with terrorist organizations on the frontier. There are quite a few leading figures in the military who do not support Zhao Ling," Li Lianhua said with a grin.

"Zhao Ling only has control over the military thanks to Mr. Xu~ Knowing that those leading figures are the loyal veterans brought up by the Emperor, who could submit to one accused of patricide and usurpation? Moreover, Mr. Xu swallowed Venerable Gu’s turf under Zhao Ling’s instruction. Does she really think those below will accept that?" Venerable Qin laughed.

"Some of Venerable Gu’s former subordinates visited a while ago, all waiting for you to gather them and restore order to the chaos~ Now, who other than you holds such prestige in the court and the government?" Li Lianhua said with a smile.

The more she heard, the happier Venerable Qin became. She pulled Li Lianhua closer and whispered, "Send out orders to keep an eye on Venerable Xu and figure out an opportunity to strike. For now, let’s focus on pulling his teeth first."

"Right away," Li Lianhua’s eyes sharpened as he bowed and smiled.

The Western Alliance, Saint Dingge.

In the verdant valley, the faded ancient castle stood as the cradle of human dawn.

For a long time, this castle had never gathered so many people.

Thousands of men and women wearing masks converged here, and outside the castle, the parking lot was filled with various limited-edition luxury sedans and bulletproof SUVs.

Bodyguards in black suits patrolled the high walls of the castle, and armed helicopters from the PMC circled the area.

Here, a very important meeting was taking place.

The management layer of Humanity’s Dawn, rarely all gathered here, hailed from various countries and exhibited differing skin tones; they were politicians, scientists, and even some from the finance and military-industrial sectors.

Although they had joined the organization many years ago, these individuals still did not know their peers’ appearances, for the few meetings they had, they all wore masks, concealing their faces.

The honorary chairman stood behind a seat much like that of a presiding judge in a courtroom and knocked his gavel.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our existence is under a fatal threat," said the chairman, "This meeting is more important than all of you might imagine; we must find a solution here to completely neutralize the threat posed by Wei Tianyang."

The chairman spoke, looking towards everyone seated.

The silence was pervasive; they all knew that the Lingxian Sect was no more.

"Our greatest foe used to be the Lingxian Sect; their technological approach fundamentally differed from ours. They tried to enhance Black Medicine to create more powerful superpowers, whereas our focus has been on transforming humanity itself. We wish for humans to coexist with the Heavenly Falling Objects, to put an end to our childish era..."

"Wei Tianyang and Fujiwara Makoto were once considered two seeds by us; we had high hopes for them. It proved that humans still possess the potential to evolve, but the problem is... the seeds have now sprouted, turning into man-eating plants."

"Wei Tianyang is too dangerous; we cannot afford to engage him in a hardened confrontation. Experience has shown that such an approach only leads to destruction. The Lingxian Sect is a prime example of that. We need to prepare on two fronts."

"First, we plan to make contact with him; we wish to establish a partnership of sorts..."

Before the chairman could finish, a white man raised his hand and said, "I think he might not need what we have to offer."

No one laughed in the venue—it wasn’t funny. The chairman replied, "Our technology is capable enough to provide what he wants, provided we know what he desires."

"Who’s going to ask him? We don’t even know where he is right now," a black woman said.

"We already have some leads; he’s in Heisai State, and incidentally, there’s a newly constructed hotel there. We’ve caught the trace of Rada Gan; it’s very possible he’s there too," the chairman revealed.

"Who will go ask him? Who’s in charge of contacting him? Sending agents or others will only make him think our sincerity is lacking, and might even result in them never returning. But the risk involved in making contact... no one is willing to take it," the white man said.

"This is also what I was about to..." the chairman began, but Spencer entered the venue from the main entrance.

"It’s been a long time, everyone," Spencer said.

Everyone’s gaze turned to him.

"Spencer?!"

"Him?!"

"Traitor..."

Many started murmuring amongst themselves, and the chairman knocked his gavel, "Silence!"

"This is the second front I was about to discuss," the chairman continued.

Spencer approached the podium, took the microphone, and announced, "From today forth, Humanity’s Dawn is under my management."

The whole room erupted in uproar.

"Who is more suitable than I? I am the only one who can talk to Wei Tianyang," Spencer said with a smile.

"Spencer is our plan; we have no other choice. Look at the Lingxian Sect... Our mission cannot end here, existence is of the utmost importance," the chairman said at that moment.

"What’s the second front you mentioned?" the black woman asked.

Spencer said, "I will dissolve Humanity’s Dawn."

Once again, an uproar spread throughout the room.

"Quiet! Settle down! Let him finish," the chairman demanded.

Spencer waited for a while until the room quieted down before continuing, "We’ve been hiding in the shadows, but now, the shadows no longer protect us. Wei Tianyang is brighter than the sun and deeper than the abyss."

"Humanity’s Dawn must be destroyed; it can’t coexist with Wei Tianyang. I will dissolve Humanity’s Dawn, and then, reorganize it into a foundation focusing on life engineering. We will move from behind the scenes to the forefront—we will become the Human Cradle Plan Foundation."
