The general was dressed in a shiny golden robe and was fully adorned with accessories. He sat on the throne and held his temples with his fists. He was clearly deep in thought.
The general's true appearance was almost the same as a human's. The only difference was that his skin was too white, so white that it was completely abnormal. It shone like a pearl, and it felt as if a delicate and boneless body was hidden in the loose robe.
"Is this the Miao Star?" Ding Meng asked curiously.
Little Rascal's tone was serious. "Yes, this is a warrior of the Miao Star family. From his attire, he is also a general. However, this is an illusion created by the demon empress using her own power. Still, it is very realistic, even more so than Divine Light Technology."
Ding Meng nodded. He completely understood this point. When he first saw this general, just the aura left on his clothes was enough to make him unable to open his eyes. If the real person was still alive, he could not imagine how terrifying he would be. However, this illusion did not have such an effect.
The demon empress spoke again. "That general fled to our planet, Extreme Flame. I was still young, so I saved him on the surface and brought him underground. Unfortunately, his injuries were too severe, and I could not heal him …"
Although she spoke casually, Ding Meng and the others could hear the great danger in her words. How terrifying was someone who could injure Star General Miao so severely?
The demon empress seemed to know what he was thinking. She continued, "Although the general was heavily injured, he also told me that he had killed the enemy in space. Unfortunately, the general's injuries were too severe. Not long after, he lost all signs of life and became a spirit. In order to prevent more enemies from sensing his existence, he used the last of his strength to transform himself into a Divine Light Singularity and was transported to the depths of the endless sea of stars …"
Ding Meng and Little Rascal were dejected. They thought they could find Miao Star's kin, but they did not expect that the general had already left a thousand years ago.
The Demon Empress said, "Before he left, the general gave me a portion of his accessories and said that he was willing to lend me a hand. Because of the equipment he left behind, I improved by leaps and bounds. In the end, I evolved into the Flame Butterfly Overlord. When the general was alive, he asked me to return these items if any of Miao Xing's descendants came here in the future …"
At this moment, the mirror image of the general on the throne slowly disappeared and turned into the Divine Light Wrist Guard that was identical to the one on Ding Meng's wrist.
The gauntlet automatically floated up and flew towards Ding Meng's left hand. With a "kacha" sound, it merged with the gauntlet. At this moment, a large amount of information flowed into Ding Meng's brain. It was all information regarding the Divine Light weapon.
Ding Meng was extremely shocked. His original weapon was not a real weapon, but just a part of it. After this "wrist guard" was put together, it was only a small part of a weapon. Its power and function were simply unimaginable to him.
The complete form of the weapon was actually the set of accessories on the general's body. Only when put together could it be considered the ultimate form of Miao Xing's equipment. Moreover, such equipment could always be worn in the form of a wrist guard. It was truly amazing.
Little Rascal's voice was also very surprised. "She even sent over the maps of the Holy Temple for No.01 and No.03. I believe the general left them for her."
Ding Meng had maps of No.05 and No.09, Little Rascal had maps of No.02, No.04, and No.08, and now No.01 and No.03. In other words, he had maps of No.1-5 of the Holy Temple. He was only missing maps of No.06 and No.07.
"No, it's not just No.0607."
Little Rascal shook his head and said, "As far as I know, the Holy Temple's map will only be automatically generated after all the fragments have been collected."
Ding Meng immediately understood the general's actions. He had left the map with the Demon Empress to protect the secret of Miao Xing's descendants and ensure that the enemy would not find this place. Judging from Planet Extreme Flame's position and internal environment, it would not be easy for any enemy to reach this deep underground. Moreover, the enemy did not know that Planet Extreme Flame had clues of Miao Xing's civilization.
The Demon Empress said, "You're wrong. Not only do the enemies exist, they are always there."
Ding Meng frowned and said, "Oh?
What kind of enemies? "
The Demon Empress shook her head and said, "As far as I know, the enemies of Miao Xing's warriors are not three-dimensional life forms, so they cannot enter our main star system. However, they have trained other trackers who have been searching for Miao Xing's descendants. These trackers could be the Flame Race, other races, or even humans. Although I cannot identify them, I can sense that all kinds of people have been coming to Planet Extreme Flame to investigate over the years. You must take care of yourself."
Ding Meng was silent, as if he was thinking about something.
The Demon Empress said, "Alright. Fortunately, I did not disappoint you. Ding Meng, you can go back now."
"Go back?" Ding Meng frowned and said, "I still want to go down."
The Demon Empress said seriously, "I suggest you leave Planet Extreme Flame as soon as possible."
"Why?" Ding Meng did not understand.
The Demon Empress said, "You will not be able to deal with anything further. The Flame Dragon Race, the Flame Butterfly Race, the Flame Battle Race, and the Flame Saint Race have all formed their own generals and lords. The division of territories every twenty years is about to start again. When the time comes, there will be disputes. Once the disputes are over, the flames of war will spread across the entire Planet Extreme Flame. With the strength of the human world in the God Wars Star System, it will be extremely difficult to survive the flames of war. I suggest you leave as soon as possible …"
Ding Meng was silent. He was prepared to go down further, but the Demon Empress' words forced him to give up on that idea. He did not expect there to be a total of four Flame Race tribes. If lords like the Demon Empress were to fight, the degree of impact would be unimaginable. No matter how many elites from the six major sects came, it would be useless.
After leaving the 70th floor, Ding Meng went back the way he came. Xiao Ai reminded him decisively, "Ding Meng, it has been three years and five months since we landed on Planet Extreme Flame. The situation on the surface has probably changed a long time ago …"
Ding Meng understood what she meant. Three years had passed. The Conqueror Starship might not be able to wait for him for so long. If Qu Xiaoqing and Xin Jie had already left, then it would be unknown if they could return to the Federation Star System.
"Let's go back quickly!" Ding Meng changed his mind.
Going down to the 70th floor was extremely difficult, but going back the way he came was relatively easy. It only took seven hours to go from the 70th floor to the 41st floor. Then, just as Ding Meng came out of the quenching pool on the 40th floor, several extremely powerful auras came from about ten kilometers away.
With Ding Meng's current telekinesis cultivation, he could be considered a mid-level Warlock. His perception range was more than 15000 meters, so he easily caught these auras. They were definitely human auras.
Even before Ding Meng and the others arrived, a blind spot had already appeared in their field of vision.
Little Rascal said, "Oh no, the other party also has universal telekinesis."
Ding Meng thought to himself that the only person in the God Wars Starfield who had such telekinesis was Lu Qing. Could it be that Lu Qing was right in front of him?
But that couldn't be right. Lu Qing was only an advanced combat master with a strong foundation, but the auras in front of him didn't belong to any combat masters. They were all warlords, and the weakest was a beginner warlord. Most of them were intermediate warlords, and one of them was even a warlord. How could there be so many experts in the God Wars Starfield?
Continuing to run forward, Ding Meng closed his telekinesis vision. He quickly discovered two people in ragged clothes sitting cross-legged on a rock beside a crystal well. They were resting with their eyes closed.
Although these two people were unkempt, they were very alert. They immediately sensed that someone was coming from behind them.
One of them shot up like an arrow and waved his hand. A cold gleam of light shot out from the flames. To be honest, even Ding Meng was surprised by the power of this cold gleam.
It was clearly a weapon like an alloy blade, but when the other party threw it, the green flames around them surged. Then, the green flames were miraculously extinguished. A wave of coldness approached Ding Meng's eyelids. Little Rascal couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "This person is a dual cultivator of both heat and ice."
The cold gleam of light didn't shoot out in a straight line. Instead, it shot out in a strange arc. Ding Meng didn't dodge. He quickly grabbed the gleam of light and looked down. It was actually a kukri blade.
Ding Meng hesitated. Wasn't this the Gorkha blade that Jun Ling and the others usually used?
Seeing Ding Meng casually catch such a powerful attack, the other party seemed to be stunned for a moment. They were probably shocked by Ding Meng's skills.
While that person was still in a daze, the other person hesitantly shouted, "Ding Meng?"
The voice was obviously female, and there was a slight tremor in it, as if she couldn't quite believe it.
Ding Meng was stunned. The two beggar-like people in front of him were Jun Ling and Lu Qing.
The person who had wielded the saber was Jun Ling. Jun Ling's original appearance was completely unrecognizable. The Prototype Battle Armor on her body had long been riddled with holes. The damage on it proved that not only had she been burned by layers of Origin Energy flames, but she had also experienced a large number of battles. Her originally bronze skin had now become even more charred. The only thing that hadn't changed was the aggressive temperament on her body …
Lu Qing's space armor was almost completely melted. Her jacket and undergarments had long been burned away. Many places that shouldn't have been exposed were exposed. Lu Qing's hair was long, coarse, and dirty. Her body was covered in scars. If he didn't get closer, Ding Meng would never believe that the person in front of him was the beautiful and eye-catching Lu Qing.
Of course, in the past three years, Ding Meng's image could only be said to be even worse than theirs. Ding Meng looked like a complete beast.
Unexpectedly, Lu Qing suddenly pounced forward and hugged Ding Meng tightly. Her voice was choked with sobs. "Ding Meng, we knew you weren't dead. You're really still alive …"
If this was in the past, Ding Meng would definitely be a little uncomfortable because Lu Qing was a whole head taller than him. Probably because she was too excited, this hug was tighter, completely pressing Ding Meng's head into her chest. The key was that her chest was also quite large. Ding Meng's face touched such a large piece of warm, fragrant jade, and he felt a little suffocated for a moment.
However, he didn't push Lu Qing away. He could already feel Lu Qing's concern and excitement from this body movement.
Ding Meng held her waist and gently pulled her to his side. He caressed her charred face. "What happened?
Why are you on this level?
How did you end up like this? "
Lu Qing didn't answer. She immediately established a mental link between the three of them. A large amount of information flowed into his brain, and Ding Meng instantly understood what had happened.
