The underground core of the command center was a super spacious metal hall. As soon as Ding Meng rushed in, he saw a giant silver egg standing upside down in the center of the hall. This was the core power reactor.
It could be said that this was the largest and most advanced reactor Ding Meng had ever seen. First of all, it wasn't made of superalloy, but liquid metal. The energy inside the egg was like a bucket of boiling water, constantly changing colors. In the center of the energy was a necklace that was floating. It was visible to the naked eye that it was releasing energy in all directions. It was impossible to imagine the degree of purity and vastness of the energy lines that had materialized.
As soon as Ji Chenxue came in, the Divine Light Necklace immediately flashed. It was obvious that it had a connection with Ji Chenxue.
The reactor was about 100 meters high, and at the bottom was a circular arched platform. Two people stood on the arched platform. One of them was Wen Yang, who was wearing a black suit. He smiled and said, "You're finally here!"
He still looked so gentle, elegant, and handsome, full of the mature charm of a middle-aged man. If it were not the first time they met him, it would be hard to believe that he was the one who started all this.
However, Ding Meng was not surprised by Wen Yang, but by the person standing next to Wen Yang. "It's you!"
Nanxun was still wearing the Daoist robe, and she was smiling. "I just said that if the person who came was Ding Meng, the director and the president would not be able to stop him."
Wen Yang nodded. "You're right."
Ding Meng and Ji Chenxue were both stunned, especially Ji Chenxue. She never thought that Nanxun would be standing with Wen Yang. Could it be that they were in cahoots?
She quickly rejected this idea. She suddenly realized that she had never really understood this close friend of hers.
Who was Nanxun?
What was her real identity?
What was her real face?
How did she cultivate her strange and strange abilities?
Which side did she belong to … No one could really figure it out.
Ding Meng muttered, "Back then, it was Lin Kejia who helped you enter the underground world."
Nanxun nodded and smiled. "Yes!"
Ding Meng said, "That explains why so many people died on the Golden Elephant warship, but Dr. Lin was only lightly injured."
Nanxun was still grinning. "For my sake, Director Yan won't be so ruthless."
Ding Meng understood. "So for the sake of Zheng Fangying, Lu Xiaobing was also spared."
Nanxun smiled and said, "More or less. So don't worry, I won't hurt Chenxue either."
Ding Meng frowned. He did not understand.
At this moment, Wen Yang clapped his hands. "Ding Meng, welcome. Let us welcome the new era together."
Ding Meng's frown deepened. "The new era?"
Wen Yang nodded. "Yes. The Norse Empire, the Holy Grail Federation, the Devouring World, and the frogmen are finally going to be unified."
Ding Meng's heart sank. "Why do you say that?
Is it because of the Demonic Wind teleportation array? "
"Smart!"
Wen Yang smiled. "In a moment, a powerful Demons will arrive here from three hundred thousand lightyears away. It's time to end all of this conflict."
As expected of the steward of Solitary Entropy, he knew all of this beforehand.
Ding Meng said, "So you've become a slave of the Demons."
Wen Yang said indifferently, "There is no such thing as slaves in this world. The strong are respected, and the weak are scattered. After this Demon King arrives, the world will be unified."
Ji Chenxue sighed and shook his head. "You've been demonized. You've really been demonized!"
Wen Yang couldn't deny it. He smiled and pressed two buttons on the miniature console beside him. A hologram popped up from the bottom of the reactor. The content inside was very simple. It was just a progress bar. The current progress displayed on it was — — 62%!
"You two are too late!"
Wen Yang explained calmly, "Although you guys have used some unknown thing to divert the energy, the progress has already reached 60% of the basic teleportation standard. The teleportation has already begun. It's only a matter of time before the Devil King arrives …"
He paused and looked at Ding Meng with a complicated gaze. "This is your last chance. Ding Meng, you know that I've always treated you as a confidant. If you and I work together, there's nothing in this world that we can't accomplish. Come, let's start this epoch-making undertaking together."
Ding Meng smiled. "Many years ago, Chu Ming Liang also said the same thing before he died. As for being a confidant, I'm ashamed. I've never met a confidant like you before, and I hope that I won't meet one again in the future."
Wen Yang's eyes flashed with an imperceptible coldness. "At this point, do you still have any obsession?"
Ding Meng sighed slightly. "Actually, there are some people who don't deserve to die. Zhong Yalin, Han Yan, Guan Lin, Bai Xingfei..."
He said a long list of names. He believed that Wen Yang had a rough idea of who these people were.
"Unfortunately, these people were still mercilessly killed by you."
Ding Meng said faintly. "These people and their deaths have nothing to do with me. But the worst thing you should've done was to steal Ji Zong's necklace, starve Old Lady Ji to death, and hand Ji Zong over to Jin Yuanquan and the others to deal with."
Wen Yang stared at him. "So you want to uphold justice?"
Ding Meng shook his head and said, "I'm not that noble. I just want to tell you that we're not the same kind of people. If I want to accomplish something, I won't use your methods. If I want the necklace, I can borrow it from Ji Zong. If I want power, I can find the Transit String to facilitate it. If I want a marriage contract, I can directly ask Ji Zong to marry me. If I want to reach the top, I won't kill innocent people, especially pregnant women... I believe you understand!"
Wen Yang let out a long sigh. "I've given you opportunities time and time again, but you don't know how to grasp them. So, this is the fundamental reason why you've always been weak, while I've always been able to call the wind and summon the rain."
Ding Meng said, "It's time to settle these scores today."
Wen Yang's lips curled into a cruel smile. "It's still too early for you to deal with me!"
Ding Meng said, "What do you mean?"
Wen Yang said proudly, "Today is the day of the reunion. What should be settled will be settled, and what should come will come. There's no hurry!"
Ding Meng's eyes turned cold. In the distance, many different auras had already reached this super core hall. When he came in, he had already scanned the hall. The bottom of this spherical hall was circular. He had come in from the tunnel at the six o 'clock position, but there was more than one tunnel here. There were a total of eight tunnels evenly distributed clockwise.
Now, there were movements at the seven o 'clock and nine o' clock positions at the same time. Even Ji Chenxue could sense that a large group of people was rushing here. At this moment, those who could break into this place at the very least were at the level of interstellar warriors. It was impossible for there to be any ordinary Origin Ability users.
Of course, he couldn't wait. He was already communicating with Ji Chenxue telepathically. "Can you recall the necklace?"
Ji Chenxue secretly shook his head. "No, the energy of the reactor is too great. If I recall the necklace, everyone will be buried here. Also, according to my observations, there's more than just a necklace inside. It should be the equipment of the Demons. The necklace only serves to store energy, but it doesn't have the effect of injecting energy..."
Ding Meng frowned. "Is there any other way?"
Ji Chenxue said, "There's only one simple way. Occupy the control panel, cut off the transmission system, turn off the reactor, and recall the necklace. But this will take time, and it will also require your help."
Ding Meng took a deep breath. If Wen Yang and Nanxun joined forces, the difficulty would be very high. After three years, he believed that Wen Yang's strength would not remain stagnant.
In fact, he had only seen Wen Yang in action twice. The first time was on Rainforest Planet 5, and the second time was in the subspace of the Apocalypse Building. Both times, he had only seen Wen Yang in action for a short period of time. Although it couldn't be compared to his current strength, Wen Yang's improvement was quite impressive.
In the current Federal Empire, there weren't many people that Ding Meng was afraid of. Wen Yang was one of them. It was precisely because he hadn't seen him in action that he couldn't estimate his strength...
While they were communicating with their telepathic thoughts, a cloud of blue smoke suddenly floated in from the passage door at half past seven.
Ding Meng and the other three's expressions changed. These were the people from the Devouring World.
Two strange silhouettes appeared in the swirling blue mist. Ding Meng's lips curled into a smile. His smile meant that the newcomers were from his own camp.
Sure enough, Leng Yin's figure appeared first. "Hahaha, I didn't expect to find this place."
Behind Leng Yin was a very young and handsome human. Although his face was unfamiliar and his aura was very weak, Ding Meng was very familiar with his aura. "Senior Feng?"
The young man greeted him with a smile. "Ding Meng, we finally meet again."
Ding Meng looked at him in surprise. "You've recovered?"
Zhen Fujen's face was full of pride. "It's all thanks to the Sect Master's Demon Lake that I was reforged."
Ding Meng smiled. "You've been reborn. Congratulations!"
Zhen Fujen's strength was still very low. He was still at the Warlord level from a few decades ago. However, he was very knowledgeable. He looked at the central arch. "The Norse Empire hasn't improved much. They're still using the most primitive Milky Way Type III Reactor. They can use a series of passwords to distribute the energy."
Wen Yang and Nanxun's expressions changed.
Leng Yin smiled. "You know how to operate it, don't you?"
Zhen Fujen said, "It's a piece of cake. Don't worry, Sect Master."
Leng Yin smiled. "That's good, that's good. Her Majesty is determined to obtain this energy."
Seeing Leng Yin's happy expression, Wen Yang immediately understood. Could it be that this guy was using the energy in the reactor as the capital to operate the Devouring World's Sacred Lake?
Ding Meng didn't care. It didn't matter who stole the energy or who transferred it. He just couldn't let it fall into the hands of the Demons.
Wen Yang smiled disdainfully. "So it's Leng Yin. You guys are sneaking around in the Devouring World. I really don't know where you get your confidence from."
Leng Yin stopped smiling. "Wen Yang, don't think that the trash from the Hidden Front often comes to the Flame Star to play tricks. Our Majesty knows all about it."
Wen Yang smiled even more disdainfully. "Haha, other than the Immortal Elemental King, what else do you have?"
What he meant was that the Immortal Elemental King wasn't here in person. The few of them weren't enough for him.
At this moment, hurried footsteps could be heard in the nine o 'clock direction. The footsteps were very heavy. It felt like the tunnel was shaking with every step. It didn't seem like the footsteps of a normal person.
