Ding Meng held the necklace in his hand and looked at it carefully. He had already released his telekinesis.
Unfortunately, his telekinesis vision could not penetrate it. It was clearly blocked by the coating. It seemed that there was something wrong with the bead in the middle.
Ding Meng used his eyes again. This time, he used his telekinesis to wrap around the coating and then slowly penetrated it. Then, he saw a magical scene. The bead inside suddenly became bigger in his vision. It was like the first time he saw the magical world inside the inverse crystal. However, there was no light inside. Instead, there were countless crystals that were changing like flowing water. The changes were like countless lights flashing and jumping in front of him. They were all white.
Suddenly, Ding Meng felt a stinging pain in his eyes. At the same time, Little White suddenly trembled. He touched his body with both hands. "Hot, hot, so hot..."
Warsky was shocked because Little White's fur suddenly changed color. It was as if an electric current had been connected to it. It was a dazzling orange color.
The temperature in the room was only 18 degrees. How could he say that it was hot?
Ding Meng suddenly closed his eyes and retracted his telekinesis. The exaggerated vision immediately disappeared. Little White next to him also quieted down. His fur and skin suddenly returned to their normal white color.
"What the hell is this?" Warsky also discovered the strangeness of the necklace.
Ding Meng put the necklace back into his bag. "This is a new kind of energy. You can think of the coating of this necklace as a crystal carrier matrix. The bead inside is the energy."
Warsky opened his mouth in shock. "You mean, Little White really has this kind of ability..."
Ding Meng did not answer. He just nodded silently.
Warsky said, "What kind of energy does this bead have?"
Ding Meng said, "It should be condensed light energy."
In fact, he was not telling the truth. Condensed light energy was what the Federation called it because the energy masters of the Federation had not thoroughly studied it. The real scientific name of this kind of energy should be called highly condensed chilled superconducting crystal. It was a type of dynamic crystal. It was a rare item in the universe and was extremely valuable.
The value of the Dynamic Crystal was even higher than the True Element Spinel. In terms of form, it was even more precious than the True Element Red Crystals that Shenguang Technology relied on. The True Element Red Crystals were solid, and Shenguang Technology could only transform them into different forms. The Dynamic Crystal, on the other hand, was ever-changing. It could change into different forms depending on the environment it was in. To put it simply, it could be a fossil, a leaf, or even a singularity. There were so many different environments in the depths of the universe. There was nothing you could not find, only things you could not imagine.
It was too difficult to find this kind of superconducting crystal by conventional means. Even a telekinesis warlock and a Shenguang warrior like Ding Meng might not be able to accurately capture it.
If you wanted to find it, you had to be an interstellar master. Otherwise, using Little Rascal's point of view, you could only find it by chance. It was obvious that Little White was born with this kind of chance attribute.
However, the energy contained in this bead must have been diluted. Otherwise, even with Ding Meng's strength, he would not have been able to withstand the immense energy pressure and would have instantly fallen into a state of dizziness. Little White, on the other hand, would not only be feeling hot. Perhaps its entire body would be on fire.
So the question was, how did Ming Li and his wife get their hands on this kind of energy?
Warsky obviously had the same idea as Ding Meng. He pondered and said, "Maybe they brought it with them from the original civilization."
Ding Meng said, "That's not the most important point. He obviously has this kind of thing, and he knows Little White's hair and skin color. Why would he hide it and send Little White away?"
Warsky looked at Ding Meng in surprise. He did not expect this young human to have such a divergent and agile mind. Of course, he did not know that Ding Meng had been through so many plots and schemes that he could smell danger at the slightest sign of trouble.
"Little White has this kind of ability, and Master Ming has this kind of thing. The couple must know that this is not a good thing for Little White, so they sent Little White to the concentration camp to dispel everyone's suspicions about Little White," Ding Meng explained.
Warsky's face darkened. "But the members of the Patriarch Society definitely know about Little White's background. Why didn't the Patriarch Society take Little White away when he was born?"
Ding Meng said, "The reason is simple. Little White is still young, and his body can't withstand the attack of the energy itself. For example, you saw what happened just now. If there wasn't an ice type Origin Ability user infusing energy into him, Little White would probably have melted."
Warsky stared at him. "You shouldn't doubt the Patriarch Society."
Ding Meng said, "I can't help but doubt it!"
Warsky said, "Why?"
Ding Meng said calmly, "With the current situation of the Steel Mane Empire, I don't believe that the overlords of the Patriarch Society can sit still for long."
Warsky was completely convinced. From a long-term perspective, the future of the Steel Mane Empire was really not optimistic. If you relied on the Frogman Kingdom to survive, you first had to look at the Frogman Kingdom's face. The Byron Star System was a small place, and the environment was terrible. Every year, you had to hand over a large amount of materials. Under such circumstances, the possibility of you developing was almost zero.
Secondly, the situation in the Fertile Chalk Star System was complicated. Although the Steel Mane Empire had some forces involved, the Norse Empire and the Frogman Kingdom had eaten all the meat, and the Steel Mane Empire only had a little soup left to taste. This was still a relatively optimistic situation.
The fear was that the Norse Empire would grow stronger year by year and destroy the Frogman Kingdom sooner or later. This was not impossible. In recent decades, the upper echelons of the Empire, led by Chancellor Wen Yang, had been attacking the Frogman Kingdom. The scale of the Norse Empire's fleet was also growing year by year. The Steel Mane Empire's combat power was not something that the Norse Empire could compete with.
The worst result was that the Frogman Kingdom was destroyed, and then the Steel Mane Empire would definitely be destroyed. The Norse Empire was not the Holy Grail Federation. They would never reason with an alien race. Even if it was the Federation, it would be difficult for the human world to accept alien races. Then, they could only join forces with the Devourer World. The Immortal Element King would welcome the power to fight against the humans, but the situation of the Devourer World itself was not that good. It was even harder to say if they could threaten the Federal Empire …
No matter what, the Steel Mane Empire had always put their fate in the hands of others. Anyone with half a brain would know that this was not a long-term solution. They had to find a way to change it.
If they wanted to change their fate, they had to make themselves stronger!
Warsky sighed. "In the past few years, the Empire has been thinking of ways to explore the Astral Wilderness as much as possible to find new energy sources. At the same time, we have been encouraging everyone to strengthen their cultivation and save resources …"
Ding Meng interrupted him. "These are not long-term solutions. Once the Steel Mane Empire finds the energy of the condensed light beam, it will solve the problem of your empire."
Warsky's face was solemn. "I finally understand Lord Ming's thinking."
Ding Meng said, "Please speak!"
Warsky said, "Ever since the Steel Mane Empire came to the Byron Galaxy, the Patriarch Society has never been united. Do you know why?"
Ding Meng said, "According to the rumors, they are fighting among themselves?"
Warsky shook his head. "No, the Patriarch Society is not united because they are fighting among themselves. On the contrary, everyone has the same ultimate goal, which is to change the situation of the Empire. However, because of this, the Patriarch Society is divided into three factions: the Conservative Faction, the Pro-War Faction, and the Wanderer Faction."
Ding Meng asked curiously, "What do you mean?"
Warsky explained, "Let's talk about the Conservative Faction first. The Danzhu Overlord and Juncai Overlord want to maintain the status quo and rely on the Frogman Kingdom to survive. I can understand their thinking. After all, the Steel Mane Empire has been wandering in the universe for too long. Many of our people are physically and mentally exhausted. The great migration was very taxing, and we do not have the energy to migrate again."
"What about the Wanderer Faction?" Ding Meng asked.
Warsky said, "The Wanderer Faction is led by the Infantry Overlord and the Swordwind Overlord. They want to accumulate strength and wait for the energy and resources to reach a certain level before returning to the universe. This way, there will be countless possibilities in the future."
Ding Meng nodded. "This is a more balanced approach, and the risk is lower."
Warsky said, "Actually, to be honest with you, Ming Li and I are supporters of the Infantry Overlord. We hope to find a peaceful land without war. It will be good enough if there is a period of peace for ten or a hundred years."
Ding Meng said, "The Pro-War Faction is probably the warmonger faction?"
Warsky nodded. "Juntian Overlord, Poseidon Overlord, and Xilang Overlord, the three of them have always been in favor of war …"
He was too embarrassed to say their specific goals because these three overlords were trying to gain a foothold in the four major nations and become the fifth major nation. However, this was basically a dream. Currently, the Steel Mane Empire only had a small number of armed forces that could assist the frogs. Any Norse Empire Interstellar Fleet could easily wipe them out if they dared to fight them head-on.
Warsky explained, "But with the Steel Mane Race's current mutated characteristics and warmongering genes, the Pro-War Faction has always been supported by the Pro-War Faction. After all, these people's foresight and thoughts are not as far-sighted as ours. However, in recent years, the Danzhu Overlord and the Swordwind Overlord have been persuaded by the Pro-War Faction to join their side. In the past, the three factions each had their own opinion, and no one could convince the other. But now, the Infantry Overlord and the Countycolor Overlord are unable to support the Pro-War Faction alone and are gradually losing their right to speak in the Patriarch Society."
Ding Meng said, "Ming Li and Ming Li don't want Little White to be involved in the cruel war and suffer, so they sent Little White away."
Warsky said, "That's more or less what they mean."
Ding Meng said, "The main forces are not fools. If they want to carry out the plan, they must find a new source of energy, and to find a new source of energy, they must have a reliable method. Therefore, Little White's return seems to be a coincidence, but in fact, it was inevitable. It was a result of a complicated plan."
Zhan Tian looked aghast. "You mean …"
Ding Meng nodded slowly but firmly. "Everyone thinks that Ming Li and Ming Li died of illness, but that's not the case. They were deliberately killed."
Warsky was stupefied.
