In the center of the temple, the Singularity waved its hand casually, and all the clothes on the throne disappeared. The Singularity gestured, "Please!"
Ding Meng said hesitantly, "You want me to go up there?"
The Singularity's voice turned serious. "You don't have a choice!"
Ding Meng glanced at the Singularity that resembled Dai Yi. "Why do I have to go up there? Do you want me to become a general of the Mou Xing?"
The Singularity said in a deep voice, "You can choose not to, but I'll erase your memories of this period and send you back to the Supreme One. Please believe me when I say that I'm in control of everything in this galaxy that you've named the Rainbow Galaxy."
Ding Meng took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the throne. It wasn't that he believed in the Oddity, but that he was very curious about everything about this shrine. From a certain point of view, Little Rascal was definitely related to this place.
After slowly sitting down on the throne, the Singularity clapped its hands gently. An extremely dazzling light burst out from all directions of the temple. It was the same kind of intense light that he had encountered at the teleportation portal in the crater. Ding Meng was instantly blinded. His retinal nerves were damaged, and his brain immediately throbbed with pain.
Ding Meng did not think too much about it. He quickly closed his eyes and began to circulate the nine origins, trying his best to dispel the negative effects.
The Singularity's voice turned cold. "I want to remind you that in the past 13,527 years, you're the 183rd person qualified to sit on this seat. The 182 people before you have all died on this seat. I hope you won't disappoint me."
It would be impossible for Ding Meng to not be afraid. Anyone who could be allowed into this temple by the matrix through the brain environment, be it humans or lifeforms from other civilizations, was definitely not mediocre.
The people before him had all died without exception. Now, it was his turn.
Ding Meng gritted his teeth and said, "Come on!"
The Singularity clapped its hands twice this time. Ding Meng suddenly felt the light in the temple get stronger. This was no longer just light, but an extremely terrifying and powerful energy.
That's right, it was the familiar energy source of Shenguang Technology. However, this energy source was much more powerful than any energy source he had encountered in the past. It was far more powerful.
If one were to say that Origin Ability Users were created by absorbing the bits and pieces of Origin Ability Energy in the air, then Ding Meng would be considered one of the best Origin Ability Users in the human world. This was because the amount of Origin Ability Energy he absorbed was dozens of times more than an ordinary Origin Ability User.
As for the Diamond Starfusing Art, the first time, the second time, the third time, the fourth time … until the eighth time, he was able to refine pure origin power. This made Ding Meng a rare genius in the Federal Empire.
It was not until he came into contact with the warehouse of Shenguang Technology on the S.S. Expedition that he realized the difference between the human world and the extraterrestrial civilization. Just an ordinary warehouse of Shenguang Technology was enough to attract the covetous eyes of a strange life form like the Droplet. Such energy was even enough for a human starship to perform a space jump of hundreds of light years in the space-time tunnel.
However, at this moment, the Shenguang energy emitted from all around him was at least a thousand times more pure than the energy on the S.S. Expedition. The moment the light spread out, Ding Meng felt as if he was in a vast ocean. Every water droplet around him was an Origin Ability Energy that was forcefully injected into his body.
Previously, on Azure Tree Planet, according to the super life form, there was a "lack of energy." Now, there was an extreme excess of energy.
With such a terrifying influx of energy, Ding Meng felt that his heartbeat and blood flow had accelerated by at least fifty times. Not only were the nine Origin Points operating wildly, but they were also expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It should be known that the Origin Points were on the micron scale. Every increase of one micron was a dream for other Origin Ability Users. It meant that one's strength and level would increase exponentially. If this had happened in the past, Ding Meng would have probably gone crazy with joy, but now, Ding Meng was really going crazy. His eyes, nostrils, mouth, and ears were constantly oozing golden blood. Even his pores were oozing golden blood. His entire person looked like a golden man.
This situation was what Little Rascal had described as "body explosion." When the container was filled to the brim with water, if it was forcefully injected, the container would explode. This kind of pain was akin to being sliced into pieces. Only the person involved would be able to understand it.
At this critical moment, Xiao Ai decisively said, "Shorten your telekinetic field of vision and channel this energy into your brain. Let it fill your primary space of consciousness."
Ding Meng understood what she meant. Since there was so much energy, he might as well use this opportunity to develop his brain and increase the amount of energy he could absorb by increasing his telekinesis.
As his brain frequency increased, he could clearly see that the firmament within his primary space of consciousness had suddenly become brighter. The little house by the beach was illuminated by the rising sun, and the projection was already brandishing a longsword and beginning to practice martial arts. Even the projection of Zheng Ming was receiving the baptism of the sun's rays, madly devouring the energy. It was also constantly taking shape at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, this amount of absorption was still far from enough. Ding Meng, who was sitting on the throne, not only was his entire body in incomparable pain, but it was also so heavy that he found it difficult to even lift his head.
"Release the Divine Green Spirit Tree and construct a telekinetic model!" Xiao Ai ordered in a deep voice.
The projection of the Divine Green Spirit Tree appeared in front of the throne in the blink of an eye. The blurry projection of the tree also became clear within a minute, completely taking on the form of a materialized tree. At the same time, tentacles took shape, tree roots took shape, tree trunk took shape, branches and leaves took shape … Soon, the entire tree was enveloped by a translucent spherical protective cover. This was clearly the Divine Green Spirit Tree's "Evergreen Illusory Spirit" technique.
However, this was far from enough to withstand the constant influx of divine light energy. The protective cover rapidly materialized, and then exploded with a "bang". This was already the limit. Ding Meng gritted his teeth so hard that fresh blood spurted out. However, he was unwilling to give up, because if he could not hold on at this time, then he would really explode and die.
"Death is not something to be afraid of. A person is destined from the moment he is born to the moment he dies. He has completed the path he should have taken and completed the mission he should have completed. This is something he must experience in his life …" At this critical juncture, Ding Meng suddenly heard Big Brother Zheng Ming's heroic words from back then.
However, Ding Meng did not want to die. His path had not yet been completed, and his mission had not yet been completed. "I definitely cannot die here!"
With a thought, the energy was once again directed towards the Divine Green Spirit Tree. The divine tree began to grow healthily, rapidly expanding from a meter tall into a towering tree, directly filling the temple. The entire tree was luxuriant with leaves and lush green. It could be said that during this process, not only had Ding Meng learned all of the Divine Green Spirit techniques, but he had also mastered them through a comprehensive study. He had even reached the pinnacle of perfection. However, the divine light energy was simply endless, and it was still madly pouring in.
"Forget it!"
Xiao Ai sighed helplessly. "You've already done everything you can do. You've already done your best …"
She did not finish her sentence. In fact, Ding Meng also understood that death was imminent.
This divine light energy was simply too heaven-defying. Energy of this scale was simply not something that someone of his level could completely contain. The human body was so weak compared to the ocean, it was as insignificant as a speck of dust.
However, at this moment, the spiritual imprint on his forehead finally emitted a strong golden light. It was like a magnet, sucking in almost all of the white light in the temple, leaving only a small portion outside.
Ding Meng instantly felt the mountain-like pressure disappear, but the remaining energy was still forcibly pouring in. This was also something that he could not bear.
Xiao Ai's spirit was shaken, and she said loudly, "Enter the intermediate space of consciousness and forcibly deconstruct the tenth origin of the Diamond Star Technique."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ding Meng's vision suddenly changed. All of the light suddenly disappeared, all of the pressure disappeared, and all of the sound ceased to exist. The entire world was incomparably quiet, as if even the sound of his heartbeat had disappeared. His body seemed to have lost control, turning into a floating soul, wandering in the depths of the endless sea of stars …
…
In the vast universe, under the bright and spectacular stars, an ancient Kun Peng starship flew out from the depths of the Milky Way.
The starship's overall damage was very high. The surface of the starship was bumpy, and the ion thruster on the right wing seemed to have been extinguished. Only the boosters on the left wing and the tail were emitting weak crystal flames, like an injured bird struggling. It was obvious that the starship had encountered a fierce battle in space. It was not easy for it to fly here.
Inside the starship, the command hall was brightly lit. Dozens of staff members were busy at their respective workstations. The atmosphere in the hall was very tense.
On a giant light screen in the center, the situation in the experiment hall was displayed. A huge and transparent nutrient water ball was suspended in the air above the hall. Countless pipes were connected to the surface of the water ball, and various unknown liquids were being injected into it.
Inside the water ball, a human girl of about ten years old was curled up into a ball, sleeping quietly.
The girl had short blond hair, and the outline of her face was clear. Her skin was very pale, probably because she had been immersed in water for a long time. It gave people the impression that she was severely malnourished. However, it was undeniable that although the girl was young, she was an out-and-out beauty. Her frail body was wrapped in a white towel, and she wore a bronze wristband on her wrist, which was engraved with exquisite and mysterious striped patterns. Other than that, there was nothing else on her body.
The girl's expression was very indifferent. Although she was in a deep sleep, you could feel that she had a noble, mysterious, and indifferent temperament all over her body.
Obviously, on this starship, the girl was definitely a very special existence.
On the other side of the command hall, the central light screen was constantly refreshing the real-time data:
Gene Body Compatibility: 100%
Heart Rate: 16 beats per minute
Body Temperature: 20.6 degrees
Breathing: 4 times per minute
Brain Frequency: 58 Hertz
Fatigue: 0%
Infection Degree: None
Health State: Sub-health -level 3
…
These rows of data showed that the girl was in a very bad state. Because she was not in the cryogenic chamber, she could wake up at any time in this state, but she could also die at any time.
Next to the main control console, a white-haired old man stood quietly, staring intently at the changes in the data on the screen. From his eyes, one could see how much he valued the girl. However, his expression was very haggard, and his eyes were bloodshot. This was because for this girl, he had put in an unprecedented amount of effort. Almost all the plans had been implemented, but the girl still had not woken up.
The only thing that could be done now was to wait quietly. No one knew which would come first, the accident or tomorrow.
