She was given five seconds to consider, but she didn't even have a choice. As soon as the voice finished speaking, the Nine Netherworld Devil Concubine suddenly noticed a strange fluctuation in the air around her. Strands of light suddenly shot out from the light pillars and drilled into her brain from all directions.
She immediately screamed like a madwoman and rolled on the ground in pain. It was so painful that she wanted to die.
"Senior, senior, please spare my life!" The Nine Netherworld Devil Concubine finally gave in. This method was even more powerful than the queen of the Devouring Realm.
Dozens of strands of light magically disappeared into thin air. The voice continued, "Do as I say!"
A pool of white liquid slowly flowed out from the light stone slab on the ground. It gradually wrapped around the corpse and the head, connecting it and reassembling it into the figure of light.
The Nine Netherworld Devil Concubine was helpless. She could only walk to the corpse and sit down. Wisps of light blue smoke came out from all over her body and gathered above the corpse to form a gentle blue mist. It constantly released bits and pieces of energy into the corpse.
The so-called Origin Restoration Technique was actually a secret treasure of the Nine Netherworld Devil Concubine. It was a holy fruit that grew from the Devouring Realm's Shadow Strange Tree. It only matured once every fifty years and had an extraordinary healing effect. As long as the soul of the person was not destroyed, even the dead could be saved.
This kind of Heaven and Earth treasure was too rare. She couldn't withstand the explosion just now, so she used half of it. She was on the verge of death, and the remaining half was definitely going to be used in the future when she encountered a critical situation. But now, this "senior" was too terrifying, so she had no choice but to obey him.
After healing for a while, the voice said in a satisfied tone, "Very good, I'll spare your life. Remember, do good deeds and you will be rewarded. Rest!"
After saying that, the Nine Netherworld Devil Concubine fainted again. It seemed that the senior didn't give her any room for negotiation.
As she fainted, the divine light energy on the figure of light immediately faded, revealing Ding Meng's true body. Moreover, Ding Meng slowly opened his eyes and sat up. His body was as good as new.
Ding Meng spread his hands. He was surprised to find that not only was he resurrected, but all the Origins in his body had been restored, including the five diamond-shaped Origins.
At this moment, he raised his head and said, "Thank you for saving me, Senior!"
Another wave of ripples appeared in the air. A divine light singularity flew out from the gap. The singularity slowly rotated and transformed into a human figure. This person was roughly the same as a human, but his skin was very white without any hair. It was as bright as a pearl. This was the Pearl Race of Mou Xing, a true member of the Mou Xing Race.
Ding Meng had seen his clothes before. It was the uniform of the general he had seen in the Rainbow Palace.
The general's eyes were also white and looked a little scary. However, when he looked at Ding Meng, his eyes immediately turned into a gentle blue.
"You are indeed the one chosen by Her Highness!" The general's voice became much gentler. "Why didn't Her Highness come in person?"
Ding Meng couldn't help but transmit a strand of his consciousness to Little Rascal, from how he met Little Rascal and how Little Rascal had transformed into a human, to Little Rascal.
A moment later, the general nodded in realization. "I see!"
Ding Meng asked tentatively, "Is this the inside of the super crystal?"
The general said, "Yes, this is the inside of the warehouse. The battle between you and the human girl was too intense. It triggered the warehouse's final defense mechanism and woke me up."
Ding Meng asked carefully, "Senior, have you been sleeping all this time?"
The general shook his head and said, "I was the general of Princess Ariel's Imperial Army. I died in the battle while protecting the princess. My spirit drifted into the universe with the energy warehouse. After a long time, my spirit gradually faded away. The me you see now is the last remnant of my spirit. This spirit has been attached to the divine light energy and has not dissipated. However, the warehouse sensed that danger was approaching from the outside world. At the same time, it also sensed the presence of Her Highness, so I was reactivated."
Ding Meng was stunned. "General, if this is your spirit's consciousness, then you are …"
The general nodded and said, "Yes, once the remnant of my spirit was reactivated, my life would enter the final countdown. Although I did not see Her Highness, I was very relieved to know that she and her guards were reborn."
Ding Meng lowered his head and said nothing.
The general seemed to know what he was thinking and comforted him. "You don't have to blame yourself. A long time ago, the prophet had predicted my fate. He said that I would die completely because of Her Highness. Now it seems that it was true. If I had not been reactivated, that human girl would have killed you. If you had died completely, Her Highness would have been sad. You have been running around for Her Highness and almost died several times. It is a great honor for me to be able to save you …"
Ding Meng was anxious. "General, is there no way to save you?"
The general shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry about it. Death is not something to be afraid of. When you were killed by that human girl, didn't you feel that you had a clear conscience and had no regrets in your life?"
When he said this, Ding Meng felt a little better. "General, what is this Abyss?"
The general waved his hand. "I don't have much time. Ding Meng, listen to me first. When I was escaping from Planet Mou, a Demon General pursued me relentlessly. Because I was carrying precious divine light energy and a map of the Holy Temple, I perished together with him in the infinite cosmic storm. Because the energy I carried was too large, I used most of it on the soldiers who had sacrificed themselves so that their spirits could be safely transported to the edge of the universe. However, the remaining energy was too large for your world, so it had to be scattered."
Ding Meng asked, "Will the powerful fluctuations of the energy attract the attention of the outside world?"
The general said, "That's right. That Demon General is also an extremely powerful opponent, so it's impossible to avoid his pursuit. That's why I randomly scattered the energy to various major star systems. You've actually been to some of the energy points, such as Planet Madison's singularity and the Rainbow Star God Temple. The singularities in those places are my remnant consciousness. Fortunately, you found them …"
Ding Meng nodded silently. Now, he gradually understood that these Divine Light Singularities were not coincidental. Instead, this general had sacrificed his spirit body to scatter his will in every corner of the major galaxies.
The general continued, "That Demon General had also disintegrated his spirit. His remnant consciousness had also been constantly searching for me. At the same time, he had also been training his representatives in various galaxies. Among them, the representative of this galaxy at this stage was that black handprint. My original consciousness had been guarding this energy point, patiently waiting for the arrival of Her Highness and her guards. This wait had lasted for hundreds of years, but unfortunately, she never appeared …"
Ding Meng seemed to have understood something. "But your remnant consciousness couldn't wait that long."
The general nodded. "It wasn't until thirty years ago that the Demon General's remnant consciousness finally discovered me. However, at that time, he and I were already in a semi-intangible state. We couldn't do anything to each other. Therefore, he cultivated the black handprint and came to the Thousand Forest Planet, the core of the Fertile Chalk System."
Ding Meng was surprised. "So this isn't the Poison Dragon Planet?"
The general continued, "The method they used was to manually excavate and at the same time, build fortifications to trap the energy crystal. This was because they couldn't crack the defense mechanism of the energy crystal. The purpose of this was to move the energy crystal to another place and then slowly find a way to do so."
Ding Meng suddenly understood. "So that's how it is."
The general said, "My original intention was that if they got close, I would activate the Ultimate Defense Command and cause an energy explosion in the warehouse. Both sides would perish together. I couldn't let the Singularity and the map of the Holy Temple fall into the enemy's hands. However, when they were halfway through, a human expert arrived and wiped out all the enemies in this place."
Ding Meng hurriedly asked, "Who was this human expert?"
The general shook his head. "I don't know either. This person's strength is extraordinary. He came quickly and left quickly. He wiped out the elites of the black handprint almost instantly. At the same time, he severely injured the Demon General's remnant consciousness. I believe that the Demon General is in the same situation as me, imprisoned in the magic point, waiting for his final death."
Ding Meng was shocked when he heard this. As the saying went, there was always someone better than you. The true experts were never those on the so-called leaderboards.
The general said, "However, after the black handprint continued, an even more powerful enemy appeared in this place. It was the Starbow Corporation."
Ding Meng said in a low voice, "Ling Xingqi?"
The general said, "The Starbow Corporation retained the fortifications built by the black handprint. Furthermore, they even remodeled this place into an even larger subspace in an area further outside."
"She knows how powerful Shenguang Technology is, so she doesn't dare to act rashly."
Ding Meng was deep in thought. "That's not right. Once it's changed into a subspace, time will slow down. Two years in here might only be two months in the outside world."
The general said, "That's not the biggest problem. The Starbow Corporation has been unsealing the energy crystal bit by bit. They've also been breaking through the energy crystal's defensive mechanisms one by one. The Penrose Channel, the fortifications' divine light spots, and the pearl dreamscape's energy were all absorbed at the same time. Even though they've been absorbing energy for over a hundred years, they still haven't been able to crack it. However, some time ago, the crystal sensed a faint aura of Her Highness the Princess. However, I discovered that it wasn't Her Highness herself."
Ding Meng explained, "It was Miss Liang. She fused with the droplet. There was a period of time when the droplet fused with me and Little Rascal."
The general said, "Since the crystal sensed her aura, it proves that the Princess herself will be here soon."
Ding Meng immediately understood why the workstations on Planet Poison Dragon were able to capture the divine light spots. It was because the crystal had actively released them. The crystal's goal was to find traces of Little Rascal. However, this was also exactly what Ling Xingqi wanted. Her goal was to lure the Starbow Corporation's martial artists over.
In just an instant, he had figured out the ins and outs of the matter. Why did the Starbow Corporation use the Warped Mirror technology on such a large scale? Their goal was to deliberately expose information about the so-called "new energy source" to the outside world. Other people probably wouldn't be that interested. Even if they were, they wouldn't dare to oppose the Starbow Corporation. Therefore, this move was to lure the snake out of its hole and let the Starbow Corporation's martial artists follow the clues to come here.
For a moment, Ding Meng sighed. This Ling Xingqi was not only powerful, but she was also extraordinarily cunning. She had considered every detail.
