Lear was waiting for an opportunity. He had even thought of countless ways to attract the attention of the higher-ups of the Saint, but he really had nothing to rely on.
Lear felt a little incredulous when he received the summons from the Elder. Although he acted as if nothing had happened in front of Luo Fei, Lear was anxious and desperate. He could sacrifice everything in order to obtain power. The past few days on the Oracle Star were worse than death.
People like Lear weren't afraid of failure. He just wanted to be dispensable.
Lear was nervous. He didn't know why the Elder was looking for him, but he knew that this was an opportunity, a one-of-a-kind opportunity. His life might be over if he missed it.
The door of the main hall was closed. When he saw the white robe, Lear's heart couldn't help but beat faster. The white robe was the Great Elder of the Saint Sect, the supreme ruler.
The Great Elder slowly turned around, sizing Lear up. Lear raised his head. At this moment, he could not retreat. But the moment their gazes met, Lear's mind felt as if it had been struck by lightning. An incomparably majestic power enveloped him.
This was the power of the Heaven-rank. It was as vast as the sea.
Lear felt his legs trembling, but his will didn't allow him to surrender. Lear could kneel, but his soul was looking down on the world.
The pressure suddenly disappeared. Lear was drenched in sweat in just a few seconds.
The Great Elder smiled. "Lear, do you know why I called you here?"
This question was out of the blue, but Lear smiled. "Great Elder, you called me here to send me into a crisis."
"Oh?"
"This should be very dangerous, but it's also the only chance I have right now," Lear said.
The Great Elder laughed. A smart person was indeed a smart person. The Saint Sect didn't lack power and countless techniques. Especially when they mastered the inheritance method of power imbuement, the Saint Sect could prosper for a long time. However, this also made the Saint Sect rotten and lacked spirituality. Ever since he accepted the Saint Sect, he had started to absorb new blood. This was the new faction and the old faction within the Saint Sect.
Lear knew his position very well. He wasn't stupid enough to think that he could hide it from others.
"What do you think is worthy of my attention?" The Great Elder asked.
"The Sacred Sect doesn't lack power. My ancient martial arts cultivation is lagging behind, but I think I'm smarter than others. I'm tenacious and ambitious. My thirst for power has never stopped," Lear said. Facing an existence like the Great Elder, it was better to tell the truth than to play tricks.
The Great Elder smiled. "What can you pay for power?"
The price!
Lear felt that it was very fair. Living in this world was a transaction.
"That depends on what kind of power it is." Lear said in a low voice. He was not an idiot. A person who agreed to everything casually had no value at all. Lear would never belittle himself.
The Great Elder smiled. "I can make Wang Zheng grovel at your feet. How about that?"
Lear bent down. "This disciple has nothing to leave behind."
"Very good, and very smart. Your talent isn't bad, but it's not the best. In terms of power, even Cronos can't use it now. I'll give you a chance now." The Great Elder clapped his hands.
A bespectacled, bearded, middle-aged man in a white coat walked out. He looked at Lear as though he was looking at a piece of meat. Then, he revealed a satisfied smile, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
"My name is Mendel, and I'm in charge of the fusion of human genes and abyss Zerg genes. If it's completed, it can give birth to the most perfect new species that surpasses God," Mendel said as he started touching up and down.
The Great Elder looked straight at Lear. "This is the Sacred Sect's New Light Source Project. Human genes and Zerg genes will devour each other to give birth to new warriors. If it's successful, you can obtain the position of the Sacred Sect's Elder."
Lear didn't say anything. He instantly understood. Gene fusion wasn't a new topic. Humans had been doing it for a long time. It was bioengineering. But what kind of monster would be born from the fusion of human genes and Zerg genes?
Lear didn't know. No one knew. But there was one thing. It definitely couldn't be called a human. It would be an existence even lower than a cyborg. It would be a monster.
The Great Elder still had a calm smile on his face. "This experiment requires you to have strong desires. Otherwise, it will only fail. So, you have to think carefully."
"Young man, this experiment is the future direction of human evolution. Human intelligence and the infinite survival genes of the Zerg can let you break away from the shackles of the body and become a new origin. Think about it. You're the Adam of the new humans, the ancestor!" Mendel was very satisfied with the experimental material in front of him, especially his eyes. There was no fear in his eyes when he heard about the experiment. Instead, he was calculating the benefits. This was great!
"Great Elder, I've thought it through. I'm willing to do it!" Lear said in a deep voice.
The Great Elder nodded in satisfaction. "Go, I'll give you some time to prepare. All your requests will be fulfilled. Raise his authority to the Elder level."
Lear's expression didn't change. He could only agree. He was a fish on the chopping board now. He didn't have the right to refuse. The moment the Great Elder chose him, his fate was already decided.
Among the many candidates for the Son of Saint, he had the weakest background. Without the power to resist, without the support of the Elders, what was he?
If he didn't want to be abandoned, he would have to live on. Live on and make everyone regret it.
When God closes a door for you, he will definitely clamp your head.
Along the way, Mendel introduced the benefits and madness of the experiment to Lear. As a mad scientist, as long as he could realize his ideas, he would do anything.
The failure rate of this experiment on humans was 100%. Of course, it also gave him a lot of experience. At the very least, those who turned into monsters couldn't be considered successful. They were all devoured by the Zerg's genes at the last moment of fusion. Therefore, the obsession and humanity of the experimenter were very important. Many of the experimenters sent by the Elders were very strong, but it was useless. Without enough willpower, they were still devoured. These were not the new humans he wanted.
To a geneticist, the two strongest races in the universe, humans and Zerg. The combination of human intelligence and Zerg's infinite survival ability, what would be born?
It would definitely be a masterpiece that even God would be jealous of!
Lear listened carefully. He could be sure that this experiment was extremely dangerous. However, if it was successful, it would bring him unlimited possibilities.
In the past, he didn't give others a choice. Now, this world didn't give him a choice either. He had nothing to miss. Family? Relatives? Friends …
