"Yes, yes, yes. You are indeed stronger than me!" Ding Meng sat cross-legged on the ground.
The Demonic Concubine of the Netherworld stared at him with her black, pupil-less eyes. In truth, she didn't dare to act rashly. Neither of them were fools. If they continued to fight like this, both sides would suffer. There would be no winner.
"Since you know that you are inferior to me, why don't you join the Seventh Mountain and learn our sect's immortal techniques?" the Demonic Concubine of the Netherworld suddenly spoke.
Ding Meng immediately raised his guard. What was she up to now? "You want me to join your Devouring World?"
The Demonic Concubine of the Netherworld said proudly, "I can see that your talent is extraordinary. You are a rare talent for cultivation. Why don't you learn immortal techniques and choose to become an Origin Ability user?"
Ding Meng was a little amused. "I am a perfectly fine human being. Am I going to become a monster?"
The Demonic Concubine of the Netherworld shook her head. "You are wrong. The Devouring World is also a human world. It is just that its form and consciousness are different."
"Oh?" Ding Meng was a little surprised. "This is the first time I have heard of such a thing."
The Demonic Concubine of the Netherworld said seriously, "That is because you do not know the origin of the Federation."
Ding Meng was curious. "Is there a reason behind this?"
The Demonic Concubine of the Netherworld said, "The so-called absorption of Origin Energy by humans took tens of thousands of years of research and experimentation. However, a truly mature method was only discovered six thousand years ago."
Ding Meng hesitated. "Are you talking about using the Induction Cabin to absorb Origin Energy?"
The Demonic Concubine of the Netherworld said, "Six thousand years ago, there was an extremely talented statistician among the Federation's Origin Ability users. He researched Origin Energy thoroughly and came up with the idea of the Induction Cabin. He put it into practice and created the first prototype of the Induction Cabin. However, his friends had evil intentions and secretly poisoned him. They then stole his research results."
Ding Meng was surprised. "There was such a thing?"
The Demonic Concubine of the Netherworld nodded. "After the Holy Grail Federation applied for a patent for the Sensor Cabin, it became widely used. This is an incalculable amount of wealth."
Ding Meng also nodded. "That's true. The profits from this thing can probably rival the wealth of a country."
The Nine Netherworld Demonic Concubine continued, "The inventor was poisoned and thrown into the distant Zeratul Star Field, but he didn't die. Instead, he survived in that harsh environment filled with strange poisons."
Ding Meng said, "This must be the founder of the Devouring Realm, right?"
The Nine Netherworld Demonic Concubine said, "Correct. Not only did he create the Devouring World, he also developed a unique cultivation method that relies on poison. The so-called Immortal Aperture, Origin Soul, Heavenly Stratagem, and other immortal techniques were also developed by him and have been passed down to this day."
Ding Meng pondered and said, "Although he created the Devouring World, his body has already mutated. Even if he cultivated the original form of an immortal aperture, he is no longer a pure human."
The Nine Netherworld Demonic Concubine said, "But you can't deny that the Devouring World is another human world."
Ding Meng sighed. "Indeed, you can't."
The Nine Netherworld Demonic Concubine said, "That's why joining my sect will only bring you benefits and no harm. You already have antibodies against poison, so it'll be easier for you to cultivate immortal techniques. Besides, you're also a member of my clan. You even have the Thousand Shadow Foil of our Devouring World with you."
Ding Meng's eyelids drooped. "You can even tell?"
The Nine Netherworld Demonic Concubine snorted coldly. "How can I not know that I've plundered the Devouring World's sacred item?
If not for that, I would've killed you long ago. "
Ding Meng sighed. "In the end, you just covet the energy of this new world."
The Nine Netherworld Demonic Concubine said, "Everyone wants such a treasure. Aren't you tempted?
Instead of fighting each other, why don't we share it together? If I make another breakthrough, I'll definitely teach you high-level immortal techniques. It'll only be a matter of time before you dominate the Federation. "
Ding Meng sighed even harder. "To be honest, I really want to agree, but unfortunately …"
The Nine Netherworld Demonic Concubine frowned. "Unfortunately what?"
Ding Meng said, "I keep feeling that something's not right. You've been lurking for so many years, and even with your abilities, you still can't find this place. Why is that?"
The Nine Netherworld Demonic Concubine said coldly, "It's nothing more than the Starbow Corporation's doing."
Ding Meng was deep in thought as she said, "Can I understand it this way? Actually, from the very beginning, the Xinghong Group had found this place, but they could not enter because Shenguang Technology was guarding this place."
The Nine Netherworld Demonic Concubine said, "The God Race's energy?"
Ding Meng seemed to be talking to himself. "The Pearl Dreamscape is the greatest protective barrier. The stronger one is, the stronger the backlash. At least, that's the case for Origin Energy users. I wonder what the Devourer Realm is like?"
The Nine Netherworld Demonic Concubine was stunned. "I've possessed the bodies of the Starbow Corporation's soldiers, but I can't walk out of the square passage. I can only merge with the passage. However, I can sense the existence of the energy of this new world."
Ding Meng said, "That's right. This explains why the Devourer Realm's poison exists in that passage. It's because the Shenguang singularity is protecting that passage. The Devourer Realm's monsters can't enter the main passage of the fortress."
The Nine Netherworld Demonic Concubine couldn't help but ask, "Then who can enter?"
A cold look appeared in Ding Meng's eyes. "Only the Starbow Corporation's warriors can enter unscathed. After entering, the Pearl Dreamscape will be removed. After this barrier is removed, the Demons will be able to enter safely. The reason the Demons are allowed to enter is because the Demons can extend the bridge into the crystal."
The Nine Netherworld Demonic Concubine was confused. "What are you trying to say?"
Ding Meng sighed. "What I'm trying to say is that all of this has been arranged. There's a sequence. The Protoss came in first to remove the barrier, and the Demons came in to create the bridge. Because the Demons' nemesis is the Protoss, the Demons had to be destroyed. Next, the Devourer Realm's monsters were allowed to enter. In other words, you Shifters. The Protoss and Shifters ended up in a stalemate, with both sides suffering heavy losses. In the end, the Humans, the oriole, came to pick up the scraps.
Do you understand now? "The Nine Netherworld Demonic Concubine frowned." But didn't I get rid of that group of humans?
In the end, Zhong Huazheng also fell down. "
Ding Meng suddenly laughed. "These are all small fries. The real big shots haven't shown up yet."
The Nine Netherworld Demonic Concubine's tone turned cold. "Are you saying that we've all been used?"
Ding Meng said, "I know there's no basis for my inference, but what if someone else comes here?
Does that prove that I'm not talking nonsense? "
The Nine Netherworld Demonic Concubine's expression suddenly changed. She had already sensed an extremely unusual aura moving in this direction. It seemed that Ding Meng had sensed it before her, so he said that.
"Which scoundrel dares to use me to pave the way for him? This is unforgivable. I will kill him as soon as possible."
She roared fiercely, but in fact, she turned into a cloud of blue mist and slowly dissipated.
In Ding Meng's perception, the damned demoness had merged into the walls of the abyss again, as if she was everywhere. Ding Meng smiled bitterly. "Aren't you so powerful?
Then why are you hiding? "
This time, the Nine Netherworld Demonic Concubine did not even answer him. Of course, this was also in line with the characteristics of the old monsters of the Devouring World. When there was something good, they would run faster than a rabbit, and when there was danger, they would disappear without a trace.
At this moment, in the main passage, the dangerous aura was getting closer and closer. Ding Meng did not move. He also knew that this place was a dead end, and there was no way to escape. He could only wait for the person to come closer.
About ten minutes later, a figure slowly walked out of the crack at the end of the bridge. Seeing this figure, Ding Meng's heart kept sinking, because this person was wearing a silver-white humanoid mechanical armor.
It looked like armor, but it was actually a battle armor. Ding Meng was confident that he was not mistaken. His Prince's Frog battle armor was similar to this one in front of him. Only a battle armor made by a real expert could have such a unique charm.
You could tell at a glance that it was very ordinary, but in fact, it was very mysterious.
The battle armor walked to the end of the bridge and stopped. He seemed to be thinking with his head lowered and seemed to be a little surprised. After a long time, he spoke with a voice that was neither male nor female. "Leng Yin, it's really surprising that you're injured like this."
The Nine Netherworld Demonic Concubine's voice came from all directions. "Who are you?
How do you know my name? "
The battle armor said, "I know the name of everyone here. Not only do I know your name, but I also know where you come from."
The Nine Netherworld Demonic Concubine hesitated. "Then do you know this kid?"
The battle armor then looked up at Ding Meng. "Of course I know him. His name is Ding Meng. He's 31 years old this year. He comes from the Zeratul Star Zone in the Devouring World. According to my deduction, he shouldn't be from the main star system, but from the distant outer space."
The Nine Netherworld Demonic Concubine didn't say anything. She was probably shocked. This information was too much. A 31 year old war-god-level origin ability user actually came from the Devouring World.
Ding Meng was also extremely shocked. Only an extremely small number of people knew of her origins. Other than Little Rascal and Little Love, only Xin Jie, Meng Yan, Dai Yi, Jun Ling, Lu Qing, Liang Yi, Su Xia and a few others knew. However, the person in front of him was definitely not one of them.
The aura this person emitted was like his own psychic string. It was extremely small and insignificant. Ordinary origin ability users couldn't sense it at all. However, experts who could sense it knew how terrifying it was. This was because Ding Meng couldn't even identify the origin of this aura.
However, Ding Meng found it very strange. This person said that he was only thirty-one years old, but he had clearly cultivated in here for two years. Could it be that the two years in the warehouse were equivalent to two hours in the outside world?
Or two days?
Two months?
The Battle Armor spoke again, and his tone was also very surprised. "I never would have guessed that this Planet Mou cultivator would actually be you. Ding Meng, you've really given me too many surprises. However, this is also reasonable. I should have known that someone who could return after being sucked into a wormhole for so many years is very likely to be a Planet Mou cultivator."
Ding Meng suddenly laughed. "You should have known about this place a long time ago, right?"
The Battle Armor nodded silently. "That's right. To be precise, I knew about it 26 years ago."
Ding Meng said, "I completely believe you, because you have no reason to lie."
He believed that the Battle Armor also understood this principle. Ding Meng and the Nine Netherworld Demonic Concubine were both injured. Even if the two of them worked together, they might not be a match for him.
The Battle Armor nodded as expected. "It seems like it wasn't a coincidence that you were able to live until today and find this place. You really do have some skill."
