The island at the center of the lake quickly appeared in front of them. Everyone's expression turned serious when they saw the island's appearance. At the very least, everyone present had seen the image of the Devouring Realm's Taiji Demonic Lake before. They all knew how powerful and dangerous it was.
Wen Yang also looked at the island with a strange expression on his face. It was as if he was sighing with emotion, but also as if he was hesitating. "The grassroots empire was right. So this kind of place really does exist in our main star system."
"What kind of place is this?
Why is it so strange? "Ross couldn't help but ask.
Wen Yang looked at everyone present. They all had blank expressions on their faces. Wen Yang couldn't help but sigh. "Our main star system is called the Sacred Glory Main Star System. Do you know why?"
Everyone shook their heads. Even Ding Meng couldn't answer this question.
The black-robed elder hesitated. "Is it because the Holy Grail Federation is at its center? Is that why it was named this way?"
Wen Yang said, "That makes sense, but it's not completely correct!"
The black-robed elder said respectfully, "Please enlighten us, sir."
Wen Yang raised his head to look at the sky. The sky was already covered by the forest, but his gaze seemed to fall on a very distant place. "The human race of the Norse Empire is actually a race of True Martial Cultivators, but the Federation is a world of Origin Energy Cultivators."
Ross said, "They're all human worlds. What's the difference?"
Wen Yang said, "It's not the same. Including the Frogman Kingdom's Devouring Realm, we all come from different civilizations. Although we look very similar to the Federation, many centuries ago, this situation wasn't like this. These kingdoms were all created by extraterrestrial civilizations or even more advanced civilizations."
This view was truly shocking, but no one refuted it. The ruler of an empire knew far more information than the average person.
Ding Meng speculated that the Sacred Splendor Main Star System was probably the place where the Protoss civilization had taken root.
Wen Yang continued, "Although it is called the Holy Glory Star System, the superstar system we are in is not limited to just our civilization. For example, the God Wars Star System is a few hundred light years away. In reality, the diameter of this star system is 150,000 light years. It is not even a drop in the ocean in the universe, but to us, this distance is too far."
Everyone understood what he meant. In this superstar system, there were countless systems and civilizations like Holy Splendor. Be it the Federation or the Empire, this was not the only civilization, and it might not be the core of the system.
Wen Yang finally said something shocking. "Actually, the Federal Empire, the Frogman Kingdom's Devouring Realm, and the Steel Mane Empire's God Wars Star System are all part of the same family. They were all left here by the god-level civilizations."
Others might be confused, but Ding Meng was very clear. The ruler's explanation was infinitely close to the truth. Little Rascal and the others were left in this star system, and they could not be revived without a host. Therefore, the Mou Xing civilization's Divine Light Technology left here reproduced the Humans, Frogmen, Steel Mane Men, Green Trees, and other diverse life forms in order to be revived in the long universe in the future.
As expected, Wen Yang said, "But everything in the world has opposing elements. The Tai Chi Eight Trigrams on this island is an example. The Demons' energy here is so dense, but the Protoss' energy is so sparse. It can be seen that the divine power is about to be homogenized. My purpose here is to prevent this from happening."
Ding Meng finally spoke. "Can I understand it this way? The Grassroots Empire once told you about the existence of such a place?
And you want to seal this place, right? "
Wen Yang showed a hint of surprise. "I didn't expect you to know about this."
Ding Meng said, "But the Hidden Front has been using this power to strengthen itself."
Wen Yang was silent. "The Hidden Front has existed for many centuries. This ancient and mysterious organization is different every time. Originally, the previous rulers kept a respectful distance from them. After all, they did not do anything harmful to the Empire. But it was different during my term. All signs indicate that they are secretly changing the situation in the Fertile Chalk System. If they continue to develop like this, it will be very disadvantageous to the Norse Empire in the future."
Ross added, "That's right. We have been fighting with the Frogmen for more than two hundred years. We cannot lose at the last moment."
It was too early to say whether they would lose at the last moment, but the price they had paid in the first two hundred years of fighting was too heavy. No one could afford to lose. This was a war that could not be lost. It was like burning money. They had already invested too much in the early stages, and there was no way to turn back now. Whether they lived or died, they had to continue fighting until they won.
Ding Meng said, "According to what you said, the mercenaries of the Hidden Front were not so evil in the past. The previous rulers were fine, but they changed during your term. They went around looting resources and even created the Fifth Generation Warrior. Could this be your problem?"
"How dare you!"
Another old man walked out from the crowd and shouted. This person was dressed almost exactly the same as the old man in black. The only difference was that his left arm was a metal prosthesis.
The old man in black said angrily, "Sir, you are a man who separates public from private interests. Although you only took office fifty years ago, if you did not advocate for continuing to fight against the Frogmen, how could the people of the Empire live in peace and contentment?"
Wen Yang waved his hand and calmly interrupted him. "It's fine. Young people like to think more than we do."
Wen Yang paused for a moment before continuing. "To be honest, this Hidden Front is too mysterious. I still do not know the identity of their boss. I also don't think I have offended any outer space organizations during my term. On the contrary, I have always maintained a tolerant attitude toward outer space organizations and interstellar refugees. I believe you can feel it."
This was indeed the truth. Ding Meng was a typical example. In the Empire, his initial identity was an interstellar refugee. Logically speaking, he should have had no chance of entering the upper echelons of the military. However, he was now an investigator of the Special Operations Department.
Compared to the Federation, the Federation claimed to be a humanitarian organization, but from Ding Meng's past experience, the Federation's discrimination and malicious discrimination were very serious. This was all related to the upper echelons of the Federation.
If the upper echelons did not have a good culture, the lower echelons would be in a foul mood.
Actually, the Fertile Chalk System was also an example of this problem. At the very least, the Empire's patrol fleet did not attack the exploration teams, studios, and mercenary groups. The people in outer space were also people. Everyone was just trying to make a living, so there was no need to kill them all.
At this time, someone had already dragged out a few spacecrafts from the safe house. It looked like they were preparing to land on the island.
Ding Meng could not help but ask, "You guys are going now?"
Ross patted Ding Meng's shoulder and said, "Ding Meng, you stay here. The mister and I will take care of the things on the island."
"Wait!"
Ding Meng decisively stopped them. "Even if you guys want to seal off the island, the people from the Hidden Front still haven't shown up."
He dared say that the leader of the Hidden Front must be hiding somewhere on Planet 5. The strength of the Hidden Front could not be ignored.
Ross smiled. "Don't worry. With the mister here, there's no problem that can't be solved."
You sure have a lot of confidence in him. Ding Meng still felt that something was not right. "The people from the Black Handprint haven't shown up yet!"
However, no one was paying attention to him anymore. Several of the spacecrafts had already taken off and were rushing towards the island in the middle of the lake.
Ding Meng was helpless. He could only watch quietly from the cliff. To be honest, he was looking forward to it. The impression that this group of people gave him was that their strength was explosive and unfathomable. This was especially true for Chancellor Wen Yang himself. Ding Meng felt that this person was even stronger than the leader of the Hidden Front.
He was very curious about the strength of the Empire's top experts.
He soon saw that after this group of people had flown to the island in the middle of the lake, only Wen Yang had entered the sacred lake formation. The rest of the people were standing guard at the edge of the lake.
Wen Yang slowly paced around the stone formation, as if he was studying the rune patterns on the ground with his head lowered. A moment later, he stood still, opened his palm, and spat out a formless stream of air toward the ground.
At this moment, Ding Meng immediately sensed that the chancellor was actually a thermodynamic Origin Energy user. Judging from the temperature and aura he was emitting, Wen Yang's Origin Energy Index had already broken through ten billion. However, this was not the main point. The main point was that he had controlled his energy very precisely. In the region of the sacred lake, not a trace of excess energy leaked out. If even a trace of Origin Energy leaked out, the lake water would immediately evaporate.
Ding Meng also secretly nodded. The head of state's cultivation was at least in the hundreds of years. It was unknown how many resources he had used and how many heavenly treasures he had swallowed. If an ordinary origin ability user were to cultivate to such a level using normal methods, it would be almost impossible.
Wen Yangchao injected energy into the array formation, and all kinds of strange rune patterns were immediately activated, emitting a variety of colors. Before, the array formation looked like a picture scroll, but now this picture was finally "alive", it was vivid and lifelike, vivid and lifelike.
Ding Meng took a closer look. The pattern displayed in the array formation seemed to be a peerlessly exquisite crown.
Wasn't this the shape of his Diamond Astral Shield?
Was this the Mou Xing Civilization's Divine Light Technology?
The entrance to the Holy Temple?
Or was this the key to entropy?
Ding Meng suddenly realized that his heart was beating faster. He was not excited, but nervous. He felt his right eye twitching violently. He had a strong feeling of unease.
After the formation was activated, the entire body of the sacred tree was also activated. Although the Magic Light Pupil also emitted a strong light, the aura of the Demons was slowly dimming.
At this moment, Wen Yang once again displayed his powerful strength. In the sacred lake, he spread his hands apart and slowly raised them. Two invisible air currents condensed in his palms and did not dissipate. They gathered an extremely powerful source energy.
Ding Meng could not help but sigh. Not only had the chancellor's original flames been cultivated to the level of being colorless and invisible, but he was also an expert who had integrated heat, rigidity, gravity, the speed of light, mutation, biochemistry, and electromagnetism into one body. Objectively speaking, if the chancellor had not come into contact with Divine Light Technology, Devouring Poison, and the power of the Demons, and had purely relied on the cultivation methods of the human race to reach this level, then he would not only be a genius, but he would also be worthy of being called the first person. Even Ding Meng could not compare to him.
But here was the problem. These two balls of energy were indeed unbelievably powerful, but using pure source energy to seal Demonic Abilities was not something that could be justified, especially when this was a completely new Demonic Ability.
