The water droplet said, "I haven't found it either."
Chu Mingliang sneered. "You haven't found it after twenty years?"
The water droplet said, "I've searched every nook and cranny of the Divine Light starship, except for the warehouse."
Chu Mingliang said, "You mean to say that the map of the Holy Temple is hidden in the warehouse?"
The water droplet said, "Very likely."
Chu Mingliang sneered again. "The teleportation array is right here, and you haven't been able to get in even after twenty years?"
The water droplet said, "The teleportation array has been locked down by Divine Light Technology, and the teleportation is random. It can teleport you to any location on the starship, but it can't teleport you into the warehouse. If you want to enter the warehouse, you have to unlock the protective command. The protective command can only be unlocked by a Divine Light life form, or it can be unlocked by an even more complicated command."
Xiao Ai said, "That's strange. Why was ACT 5570 sent in so quickly?"
Little Rascal said, "Perhaps I know!"
Ding Meng asked curiously, "Why?"
Little Rascal was surprisingly silent.
Chu Mingliang was still asking questions. "You've already devoured Fujen Zhen, but you still can't unlock the command?"
The water droplet said, "I can unlock it, but I need to evolve and time."
Chu Mingliang said, "You've already evolved into a human. What else do you need to evolve?"
The water droplet said, "I still need to devour the knowledge of Origin ability users and statisticians. That way, I can shorten the time needed."
Chu Mingliang said, "With these conditions in place, how long will it take?"
The water droplet said, "Not long. Three hundred and fifty years will be enough!"
Perhaps for a life form like the water droplet, three hundred and fifty years was just the blink of an eye, but for a human, this process was undoubtedly too long. Chu Mingliang definitely couldn't afford to wait that long. It was unknown just how long he would be able to live.
The conversation between the two left the others dumbfounded. This matter was truly beyond their understanding.
However, Ding Meng knew that the water droplet wasn't spouting nonsense. Just as Fujen Zhen had calculated, with its current intelligence and knowledge, it wasn't enough to unlock the protective command of the warehouse. It needed time, knowledge, learning, and evolution. These conditions were too many and too difficult. This wasn't something it could do in its current form.
Chu Mingliang suddenly became expressionless. "Very good. Since you've answered my questions honestly, I'll definitely let you live.."
The water droplet hesitated. "Are you really willing to let me go?"
Chu Ming Liang said, "Of course, I, Chu Ming Liang, am a man of my word."
After he finished speaking, the blue light of the force field flashed rapidly, and suddenly shrank to the size of a ping pong ball. The water droplets inside made a terrifying hissing sound similar to that of a poisonous snake. Although the others didn't understand the language of this creature, when they heard this crazy hissing sound, they could feel that this was a devastating blow, like the wailing of a dying person.
An intense blue light flashed on Chu Ming Liang's face, making him look incomparably ferocious. The strange creature was strong enough, but it still didn't understand that among all the things in the universe, the treacherous and cunning of humans was the most terrifying.
Do you really think that you'll live if you tell the truth? You're completely wrong. You'll die if you tell the truth, but you'll die even faster if you don't.
The force field was now like a powerful stone crusher, and the water droplet was now the stone inside. No matter how it crashed, it would not be able to shake this machine.
After a while, the water droplet finally couldn't hold on any longer. With a "bang", it exploded into countless blue powders and adhered to the walls of the force field. The force field truly turned into a blue ping pong ball.
Chu Ming Liang flicked his wrist, and the ping pong ball was thrown into the middle of the pit.
"Boom!" An earth-shattering sound was heard. It was probably the force field that exploded, and the entire hall collapsed by four to five meters.
Ding Meng was also extremely shocked. The water droplet that had fought with Fujen Zhen on Xue Yue Mountain for seven years, and had also lurked underground for twenty years. At the same time, it had absorbed so much energy and swallowed so many humans. In the hands of Chu Ming Liang, it was as weak as a persimmon, and was destroyed in just a few moves.
At the same time, in the command hall of the S.S. Expedition, all the lights were lit up, and the main control panel raised a screen. Lan Bing, Meng Yan, Du Mo, and Irene were standing around.
Xue Yue Mountain sighed, "It's a pity that the Ice Frog exploration ship can't be activated without the password."
Fujen Zhen, on the other hand, was full of confidence. He said loudly, "My ship is enough. Everyone, listen to my command. S.S. Expedition, activate the engine."
The system's voice sounded again after more than twenty years. The voice was very sweet, "Receiving the commander's command, the engine has been activated."
Fujen Zhen said, "Detecting the current environment."
The powerful technology of a starship was not something that a single human could compare to. Although this was a small starship from thirty years ago, the main control panel's screen was still slowly generating a topographic map of the environment.
However, the environment twenty thousand meters underground, other than a few passages and halls nearby, the map was still blank.
Fujen Zhen said, "Activate the ship's secondary cannons. Target, fire at will."
S.S. Expedition was actually similar to a Skywalker assault ship. Its shape was like a sharp bullet, and there were eight wings at the back. Once the engine was activated, the eight ion thrusters at the back would spit out fire at the same time. The railgun at the front would be able to penetrate thousands of kilometers of soil in an instant. Moreover, it was very easy to hit a dead rat by accident. The energy beam could drill from underground to the surface, and even hit into space.
At this moment in space, in the command hall of the Golden Eagle mothership of the SSN6L9T1 patrol fleet, the quantum radar immediately detected the energy cluster emitted from Planet Thorn. Someone in the reconnaissance area immediately exclaimed, "Sir, we have detected the signal. The source of the signal is underground of Planet Thorn. The approximate area is DBF, 565,373 Area A …"
Du Peixing was shocked. He quickly glanced at the big screen in the center and said, "It must be Murphy. What's the situation?"
The scout immediately reported, "The signal is unclear. We can't contact them for now. Judging from the energy beam, it's the ship's secondary cannons. There must be a large unit flying up from underground."
The scout's judgment was completely correct. Fujen Zhen was even more confident now. "Activate the Mystic Golden Diamond Probe. Target, the surface of planet Thorn."
When he gave the order, Ding Meng and the others who were in the teleportation circle hall all felt it. The walls started to shake again, and there was a rumbling sound coming from afar. Everyone present was very experienced. When they heard the rumbling sound, they knew that someone had activated a large mechanical unit. They were probably trying to escape.
Anyone who dared to fly under the military's nose was definitely not one of them.
Chu Ming Liang suddenly turned his head and stared coldly at Ding Meng. He immediately guessed what was going on.
Chu Lei and Faiers had not arrived yet. Instead, there was movement in the distance. This meant that Ding Meng's accomplices had killed Chu Lei and Faiers.
Chu Ming Liang smiled again and turned to Fu Zhonghui. "Fu Zhonghui, I didn't expect your subordinates to be so capable."
Fu Zhonghui had been staying at the north entrance. He did not let his guard down. He had guessed that Du Mo, Irene, and the others had successfully boarded the ship with Fujen Zhen's help. It was good that they were fine.
Fu Zhonghui said calmly, "But I still can't compare to Mr. Chu. Your ambition is too great. It's way beyond our expectations."
He did not know what the Holy Temple Map was, but he knew a thing or two about the Shenguang civilization. It was obvious that Chu Ming Liang had his eyes on Shenguang Technology. Once he had control of this technology and energy source, the Haitian Group would dominate the Federation. In the worst case scenario, Chu Ming Liang could even conquer the Federal Empire.
What were Battle Lords and Battle Sages?
Conquering the human world would be an incredible achievement. No wonder he had been hiding for more than twenty years. Fu Zhonghui could not help but be shocked by Chu Ming Liang's shrewdness.
Seeing Chu Ming Liang walking slowly with his hands behind his back, Ding Meng knew that this was the final moment. He suddenly jumped up and waved his hand, sending out a wave of source energy. The source energy transformed into a tiger's head and smashed into the ground.
This palm strike was not aimed at Chu Ming Liang, but at the depths of the crater.
Through Ding Meng's powerful telekinetic vision, he could see that the water droplet had not been destroyed. Although it had been crushed into powder, it had turned into a light blue mist in the crater. The mist continued to spiral and spread. Although it did not show any signs of life, its movement was not normal because it kept floating upwards.
Others might not have noticed it, but Ding Meng kept his eyes on it. His intuition told him that since this was a high-level creature that had dominated the universe for billions of years, it would not be so easy to destroy.
Once this palm strike was unleashed, no matter what form the mist was in, it would be blown to smithereens.
Ding Meng's confidence was completely shattered in the next second. Something he never dreamed would happen. Chu Ming Liang waved his hand, and an invisible wave of energy changed the direction of the Divine Sun Tiger Palm. The tiger's head slammed into the ceiling, and with a boom, it blew a hole in the ceiling.
In the instant that Chu Ming Liang waved his hand, this light mist of energy covered every part of Chu Ming Liang's body with a 'whoosh'. It really was like a blue veil covering his body.
"Mr. Chu!" Ge Ping cried out in alarm.
Chu Ming Liang suddenly clutched at his throat. Cracking sounds came from his throat, and his entire body began to glow with a blue light, as if he had been poisoned.
Little Rascal cried out in alarm, "Not good, the water droplet has entered his body. It's probably going to swallow him whole."
Shit!
Ding Meng's heart sank. If the water droplet had attached itself to Chu Ming Liang's body, it would be very troublesome.
Xiao Ai decisively ordered, "Use this opportunity to get rid of him."
"That's not right!" Ding Meng's eyes widened.
Little Rascal was also shocked. "Isn't … isn't this the same situation as when the K-virus transformed you, Ding Meng?"
Chu Ming Liang, who was at the edge of the crater, had turned into a white humanoid in the blink of an eye. This terrifying scene made everyone involuntarily take a few steps back.
This transformation lasted for an entire minute before it stopped. At this time, everyone's mouths and eyes were wide open in shock. The scene before them was too exaggerated, too strange, and too shocking.
