The three of them walked down the long tunnel. Ding Meng and Liang Yi walked side by side, but Eisendale hid far away. She was still a little afraid of Liang Yi.
"Are you a human or a ghost?" Eisendale asked this question along the way.
Liang Yi was a little annoyed by her questions. "I'm a new life form formed by the fusion of a psionicist, a Spirit Qingshan, and a spore life form. How many times do I have to say it?"
"Not a human?" Eisendale obviously did not understand.
Liang Yi said, "Yes, but also not human!"
Eisendale was confused and could only follow Ding Meng obediently.
"Where is this place?" Ding Meng asked.
Liang Yi sighed. "I only know that this is the Fertile Chalk Star System. I don't know where we are exactly.
When I was teleported, the droplet woke up halfway. The escape pod was rescued by a fleet of the empire, but on the way back, we were surrounded by the Frogs. In a hurry, the empire fleet also used a large teleportation portal to retreat, but I didn't get better. After I woke up, I was teleported to this place. "
Ding Meng also sighed. "Miss Liang, I'm sorry for the journey."
Liang Yi nodded. "I hope everyone is fine."
Ding Meng said, "Xin Jie is fine. We've already met up."
Liang Yi said, "Why don't I see Little Rascal Xiao 'ai?"
Ding Meng said, "It's a long story. You'll know in the future. What's the situation like here?"
Liang Yi said, "I can't explain it clearly in a short time. Mr. Ting, come with me."
After that, she activated her Origin Energy and ran forward. Ding Meng and Eisendale followed closely behind her.
The tunnel was indeed quite long, but as they went deeper, Ding Meng and Eisendale both felt powerful energy fluctuations. These fluctuations obviously came from Divine Light Technology. Liang Yi gradually slowed down as the fluctuations became stronger and more obvious.
The end of the tunnel was a dead end, but there was a real Divine Light singularity flashing in the air.
Ding Meng stared at the dead end blocked by the steel wall and said quietly, "This is not a dead end."
Liang Yi and Eisendale nodded at the same time. They could both feel a powerful energy pulsing outside the steel wall, but the wall blocked these fluctuations very well.
Liang Yi explained, "I've been unconscious here for more than 30 days. The droplet absorbed the energy here. Not only did it repair my spirit, but it also helped me break through to Warlord...
Ding Meng stared at the flickering Singularity. "But this Singularity is not complete."
Liang Yi said, "Yes, sometimes it will appear and sometimes it will disappear. The connection I established with it is also intermittent."
Ding Meng extended his left hand again, allowing the Divine Light Gauntlet to approach the Oddity. Instantly, the Oddity sensed it and it began glowing. In the blink of an eye, the Divine Light Gauntlet had transformed into a spinning cross-shaped star.
Liang Yi said, "Just as I expected. It will only react like this when a unit with Divine Light Technology is nearby."
Ding Meng nodded. He already had this feeling when he was at the workstation. The singularity seemed to be looking for something. It was definitely not looking for the soldiers, but someone or something related to Divine Light Technology.
Suddenly, Shizi Bright Star said respectfully, "This is Princess Ariel's aura!"
Liang Yi and Eisendale were shocked, especially Eisendale. She had never seen anything like this before.
She was so shocked that she almost attacked.
But Ding Meng answered in time, "Yes, I was once Princess Ariel's host."
The singularity said, "I see. No wonder you felt the aura of my race."
Ding Meng muttered, "Did you summon me?"
The singularity said, "Yes. Because of the aura of my race, I opened the teleportation array for you and let you in."
This explained why the Ghost Eyes could be transmitted into the cavern ahead because he was at the B3 workstation.
Ding Meng asked, "What's going on here?"
The singularity said, "This is a large strategic fortress built by the enemy to invade our race's energy storage. The situation is very serious."
Ding Meng asked curiously, "A strategic fortress?"
The singularity explained, "Many years ago, there were enemies who invaded this place. According to our records, there were all kinds of enemies. But more than 20 years ago, the most threatening enemy built this strategic fortress. It could avoid the deterrence of our race's energy and was slowly encroaching on the energy storage. However, this enemy suddenly disappeared more than a decade ago. In recent years, new enemies have appeared. They are also of all kinds and come from different regions. Based on what we know, the two biggest threats are the Starbow Group from the Holy Grail Federation and the Sevenfold Mountain family from the Devouring World."
Ding Meng was secretly shocked when he heard this. Lan Bing's judgment back then was not wrong. The Starbow Group knew about Shenguang Biotechnology.
"Are the Starbow Group's workstations outside looking for the energy storage?" Ding Meng asked.
The singularity said, "That's right. They've already found the perimeter and are trying to use the basic teleportation array to enter. The cavern you just arrived at is the entrance to this strategic fortress, but we've already modified it. Normal enemies can't enter. Besides, the Devouring World and humans often kill each other. If you don't have the aura of my race on you, you'll be trapped there and die."
Ding Meng nodded and said, "I understand. That place is not a protected area but a testing area!"
"Correct!"
The singularity answered. "You passed the test, so we made an exception and let you in. This is the connection center. If you go any further, you'll enter the area of the energy storage."
Ding Meng said in a low voice, "What can I do?"
The singularity said, "As a warrior of our race, you naturally have to take on the responsibility of guarding the energy storage. You have to repel all enemies and ensure that the energy is used by our race."
Ding Meng took a deep breath and said, "Understood!"
The singularity said, "The current situation is not optimistic. Normal enemies have been isolated outside, but we can't do anything about the powerful enemies. As for the reason, you should know."
Ding Meng, of course, understood. The singularity was to the Mou Xing Civilization like an AI program was to the Mastermind System. They had been programmed to not have any combat ability. In order to truly protect the Divine Light energy storage, they had to rely on humans to fight.
The singularity continued, "This mutant spore lifeform is not strong enough to enter, and this human female cannot enter either."
Ding Meng asked, "Why?"
The singularity said, "She doesn't have the aura of our race on her. She can only stay in the connection center or be eliminated. If she chooses to be eliminated, you will do it."
Eisendale was not an ordinary person. She clearly understood what was going on and hurriedly said, "I'm Ding Meng's wife in the Holy Grail Federation. I'll help him fight."
Ding Meng's eyelids drooped. You're really good at taking advantage of the situation.
The singularity said, "I detected that you don't have his aura on you. You're not husband and wife. You're lying!"
Eisendale hurriedly waved her hand. "I'm not lying. We're engaged. It's just that we haven't had a wedding yet. We're usually boyfriend and girlfriend."
The singularity said, "Unable to determine. Denied entry."
Eisendale was anxious. It had not been easy to get close to the core area. It was depressing to be rejected at this time. It was a classic example of being chased out without even seeing a treasure mountain.
Liang Yi also snorted. "She's lying. Mr. Ting's wife is Lu Qing. I'm a witness."
The singularity did not answer, but the cross-shaped light kept spinning. It looked like it was waiting for Ding Meng to make a choice.
Ding Meng frowned and said, "Let them both in. It's fine!"
The singularity said, "Are you sure?"
Ding Meng thought that since Liang Yi was one of them, there would not be any problems. Although Eisendale was an outsider, as long as he and Liang Yi were around, she would not be able to cause any trouble. Since the singularity was a strong enemy, there must be other masters in the Starbow Group. One more person would be an additional strength.
Ding Meng would not underestimate anyone who could find their way to this place. Even if they were not Battle-Saints, they must have extraordinary abilities.
Ding Meng nodded and said, "No problem. Let's go in together!"
The singularity did not say anything else. The cross-shaped light quickly turned into Ghost Eyes, and a new round of teleportation portals opened.
This round of teleportation was different from the previous ones. It seemed to take a long time. In Ding Meng's mind, it took at least a minute. He had reason to believe that this level of teleportation would be to an extremely confidential and important place.
By the time his vision returned to normal, even he could not see the environment clearly this time. The overwhelming energy waves came at him head-on. It felt like he had been hit by the rail cannons on a starship. The sharp and fierce beams hit his whole body.
Ding Meng realized that the first nine origin points had been activated spontaneously. They were spinning crazily. Everything in front of her was white and dazzling light.
He had experienced this feeling before. When Little Rascal used the Red Origin Crystal to take shape, it was the same situation. He knew that this was related to his telekinesis vision and perception. Without saying a word, he immediately closed his eyes and sat down cross-legged. He shut off his telekinesis vision and origin energy perception. At the same time, he conducted the Divine Light Essence from the smelting space to forcibly suppress the origins.
This greatly reduced the discomfort in his body. At the very least, the suffocating feeling disappeared. After about five minutes, Ding Meng felt that he had returned to normal. At this time, he opened his eyes and found Liang Yi and Eisendale lying on the ground next to him. It seemed that they had fainted.
When he turned his head to look at his surroundings, he suddenly opened his mouth wide in shock. There had never been a geographical environment more shocking than this.
Strictly speaking, this was not a geographical environment, and he could not describe it.
If there was an abyss in this world, then this place was undoubtedly one. In the center of the abyss stood a purple-red super crystal. How big was this crystal?
Ding Meng felt that his entire body was not even one-ten-thousandth of its size. Below the abyss was a bottomless darkness, and above the crystal was not the sky, but a void with countless changing colors.
This place was like a missile silo, and it was also like the inside of a Red Origin Crystal. This place was more like one of those unknown astronomical wonders in the depths of the universe … But what was this place?
Ding Meng could not explain it at all.
This was the most mysterious place he had been to since he met the Divine Light Singularity.
