The depths of the vast universe were still shrouded in darkness. After flying for an unknown amount of time, the vibrations of the Silent Entropy ship finally stopped, and the honeycomb hall regained its peace. Ding Meng abruptly opened his eyes. Even Ji Chenxue and Ling Xingqi woke up.
The first thing they did after waking up was to meet up with Ding Meng. The moment they saw Ding Meng, Ji Chenxue and Ling Xingqi's eyes turned red. They had already learned of what had happened on Peach Blossom while they were asleep.
Even though powerful enemies like Vermilion Bird and Ru Feng had been eliminated, they had also paid a high price. Jun Ling had left forever.
Ling Xingqi had been very close to Jun Ling in recent years, and their relationship was extremely good. She couldn't help but feel sorrowful when she thought of how her sister had died in such a painful manner.
"I really hate it!"
Ling Xingqi couldn't help but grit her teeth. "It's a pity that I wasn't strong enough back then, or I definitely would've fought alongside my sister."
"Sigh …" Ji Chenxue also let out a long sigh. Even though she had been cultivating on Silent Entropy, she was still no match for Mo Yan. Such a terrifying night phoenix powerhouse was truly despairing.
Ding Meng also remained silent. Even if the three of them worked together, they probably wouldn't be able to do anything to General Mo Yan.
"A lot of time has probably passed outside while we've been inside the black hole, right?" Ji Chenxue asked.
Sacas revealed his true form. "Yes. If we calculate according to the human world's time, at least five hundred years have passed in the Federal Empire, and that's only the most conservative estimate."
Five hundred years had passed, and their old friends in the human world were probably all in the past. It was probably impossible for them to return to their original world.
Now that only the three of them were left, Ling Xingqi's expression became somewhat dazed.
Sacas looked at her. "You still have a lot of things that you haven't let go of, right?"
Ling Xingqi nodded. "Yes. I originally wanted to end everything and return to Xin Jie's side. He promised me that once everything was over, we would hold a wedding and live happily together. Sister Wen He would return to the Great Wei Dynasty, and he would stay in the Holy Grail Federation forever …"
Sacas said, "You don't have to be sad. Perhaps you'll have another chance like this."
"Oh?" Ling Xingqi was a little surprised.
Sacas revealed a solemn expression. "Ding Meng, I've always served the will of the Heavenly Sovereign King. I'm afraid it's time for that to end."
Ding Meng was surprised to hear that there was something wrong with his tone. "What's going on?"
Sacas replied, "See for yourself!"
Ding Meng decisively mobilized his telepathic thoughts. He suddenly realized that the situation outside was very abnormal. Now that the black hole had disappeared, Solitary Entropy was flying in an unknown dark space-time. There was no star dust around, and it felt like he was flying into a dead zone.
However, at the end of the darkness ahead, there seemed to be a very weak light flickering. Through the detection system of Silent Entropy, this light was only a few light years away, but the energy it emitted was jumping. The detection system said, "Unable to assess!"
"This is …" Ding Meng asked in surprise.
Sacas' expression was calm. "Perhaps this is the legendary temple."
"Huh?" The three of them were all shocked.
Sacas said, "I don't know the principle behind that black hole's teleportation, or why we were teleported here, but according to my calculations, this is the place that the Heavenly Sovereign King had always yearned for when he was alive. This scene before us has even appeared countless times in his dreams. I can be sure that this is the legendary temple."
Ding Meng and the other two were so shocked that they were speechless.
Sacas turned to look at the three of them. "Ding Meng, perhaps it's time for me to say goodbye to you."
Ding Meng cried out involuntarily, "Why?"
Ji Chenxue was also puzzled. "Senior, what do you mean?" Sacas chuckled.
Sacas chuckled softly. "I once explained that Solitary Entropy was the product of Heavenly King Lingtian's lifelong painstaking research. For the sake of its emergence, Solitary Entropy was even created using the entire power of Planet Ai. With the current energy reserves and system repair rate, Solitary Entropy has not recovered more than forty percent. If it could be restored to its complete form and then controlled by a top-notch powerhouse, that person would be a supreme and invincible existence in this universe. Unfortunately, our luck did not allow us to reach that step …" Sacas chuckled softly.
Ding Meng sighed silently. "Senior, I'm useless. Not only did I fail to complete this task, but I even caused my sister to lose her life."
Sacas also looked at him silently. "I don't blame you, Ding Meng. Perhaps you made the right choice back then. Do you still remember the first time you came to Silent Entropy?
I advised you to put everything aside and focus on training, but you told me that you still wanted to return to the human world because you have family and friends. You also have ties and concerns that you can't let go of. "
Ding Meng listened quietly.
Sacas said, "Only now do I understand that it's not that you can't let go. Just like Xing Qi's longing for Xin Jie, humans have life. Only with life will they have emotions. Only with emotions will they have value and reason. Only with value and reason will they complete their mission. Just like Ding Meng, in order to save you, Ding Meng, he was willing to go through water and tread on fire. So this is the right path.
Sacas paused and continued to explain. "The Heavenly Sovereign King, Queen Ming Yan, Emperor Zhen Yan, Demon King Xie Yu, these people have traversed the universe for so many years, but they could never find this place. Perhaps it's because they are too strong, so strong that they have lost these most pure and beautiful qualities. That's why they can't find any trace of the Holy Sanctum. Why has the Holy Sanctum always been guarded by the people of Mou Xing?
It's because the people of Mou Xing represent friendliness and love, worship holiness and beauty. These are the conditions to be able to reach the Holy Sanctum. "
Hearing these explanations, Ding Meng and the other two seemed to have understood something.
"Solitary Entropy was created with the ultimate goal of finding the Holy Sanctum. Now that the Holy Sanctum has been found, my mission is complete. The original plan was for the Monarch to bring the weapon, Solitary Entropy, to the Holy Sanctum, but the situation is not optimistic. Ding Meng and the others have almost no chance of winning against the Night Phoenix, so I plan to use Solitary Entropy to arm you. Solitary Entropy is created from the universe's top treasures and can be used as a single weapon. I plan to split Solitary Entropy to improve your abilities. As for whether you can successfully step into the Holy Sanctum, that will depend on your luck. What I can do for you is to increase your leverage as much as possible."
Ling Xingqi could not help but ask, "But what about you, senior?"
Sacas smiled gently. "I'm just the will of the Sovereign King, and also an intelligent product of the Holy Sanctum. So you don't have to worry about it. Even if I don't split the Holy Sanctum, I will go into hibernation as long as I find it."
Hearing this, the three of them could not help but feel sad again.
Sacas smiled. "Ding Meng, it's been a pleasure to travel with you. My biggest gain on this journey is getting to know you. You have changed my view of many things. If you truly control the power to change the world, I hope you will no longer be affected by other things. Everything will proceed according to your will. Good luck!"
After saying this, the symbol of Planet Blazing Sun appeared in front of Ding Meng's eyes. There was a long string of strange runes next to it. These were the words of Planet Aiji. The general idea was, "Ultimate splitting mode ready. Please confirm!"
Ding Meng bowed deeply to Sacas. "Senior, please rest assured. I will fulfill the Sovereign King's last wish. I will avenge my sister's death. I will also give justice to the many humans who have lost their lives."
As he spoke, he mobilized his consciousness and activated the confirmation command on the symbol of Planet Blazing Sun.
At this moment, the entire beehive began to distort and spin like water ripples. Ding Meng and the other two discovered to their surprise that their bodies began to mutate. Their golden skin seemed to be growing out of metal. Soon, familiar equipment was born on their skin: wrist guards, arm guards, shoulder pads, battle suits, leg guards, boots …
These were the three battle suits that were born after the splitting of Solitary Entropy. Their appearance was exquisite, as if they were super warriors from a foreign universe. At the same time, a large amount of telepathic thoughts flooded into their minds, all of which were how to use the three sets of armor.
Five minutes later, the huge Solitary Entropy disappeared, leaving only three warriors in golden armor floating in the dark space.
It was impossible to speak in the vacuum, so the three of them were communicating with telepathic thoughts. Ling Xingqi exclaimed, "This is probably the most expensive equipment in the universe!"
Ding Meng and Ji Chenxue saw it too. This set of equipment was almost a fusion of all martial arts techniques and secret manuals. At the same time, it was invulnerable to weapons, water, and fire. It could greatly increase one's attack and defense in battle, and it also had many advanced functions.
The three of them moved their telepathic thoughts, and their bodies immediately merged into one with the darkness. Even the most advanced radar would not be able to detect them. This was the invisibility function. Even the best of the best would not be able to detect them unless they actively revealed themselves. This function alone was enough to protect them. No wonder Sacas wanted to split Solitary Entropy. This was also the last bit of strength he could do for Ding Meng.
"Let's move!" Ding Meng said as he looked at the distant light spot.
Ling Xingqi and Ji Chenxue nodded at the same time. The three of them were now strong enough to run freely in the universe.
The three masses of black chaos quietly sped toward the light spot. In the blink of an eye, the distance of a few light years had passed. The light spot gradually expanded, became clearer, and appeared in front of their eyes.
Ding Meng could not help but be shocked once again. "This is …"
What appeared in front of him was a small, lonely planet. This planet was completely dark, and thunderstorms were constantly rolling in the sky. The earth was ravaged by thunderstorms, and thick, twisted lightning bolts were falling everywhere. The surface of the planet was metal-like material ….
This was the small planet at the edge of the Cancer system. This was where the Demons' supply point and the Dragon King were located.
Ling Xingqi said, "This is not the Cancer system. Before we came, I checked the coordinates on Solitary Entropy. This is an unknown area."
Ji Chenxue said, "But this place is too similar!"
Ding Meng had to admit it even if he did not want to. This was a complete copy of the Cancer system's asteroid, because the location of the entrance to the Demons' ruins was exactly the same. There was no difference at all.
"What's going on?" Ling Xingqi was confused.
Ding Meng decisively ordered, "Let's go down and talk!"
