The space around the Golden Eagle Mothership was almost distorted 360 degrees, and then it was slowly absorbed into the vortex.
Ding Meng twisted his hands in the air, and the vortex spun rapidly. The black hole suddenly burst out with dazzling light. There were only two rays of light, and they were the straight lines that extended infinitely into the depths of the universe. As Ding Meng closed his palms, the straight lines shrank back, and the black hole immediately turned into a white dot, and then the white dot was annihilated in space.
If this was the real world, whether it was Guan Wuming or the starship, they would be randomly teleported to the endless depths of the universe. This was the same situation as when the SS Expedition was sucked into the wormhole. Not to mention where they would be teleported to, it was unknown whether they could survive the impact of the space-time tunnel.
Fortunately, Ding Meng was not one of those galactic masters, so he could only be randomly teleported. If it were Sky Defying King, Guan Wuming would probably be teleported to a designated alternate world. However, this was extinction. Everything would be destroyed, and all traces would be wiped out.
At this moment, Ding Meng was the only one left in the bright galaxy. He was high and mighty, just like the overlord at the top of the world.

…
At this moment, the top 16 contestants were all teleported to the center stage of the arena, receiving the attention of the audience from all over the world. At the same time, the award ceremony began.
The final rankings of the 10th Galactic War Carnival were presented in front of everyone's eyes:

Third place: Kneel down to me.
Runner-up: Guan Wuming
Champion: Crazed Explosion
The Empire's Head of State Wen Yang was the one who gave out the prizes to the 16 experts. The prize pool for this year's carnival was 62 trillion star coins. The champion, Crazy, received 20 trillion star coins, the runner-up, Nameless, received 8 trillion star coins, and the third place, Jun Ling, received 5 trillion star coins, and so on. Anyway, at the end of the day, the Internet Neighbor 99999, they only received 400 billion star coins. However, this was enough. For ordinary people, 400 billion star coins was an astronomical amount of wealth.
Next, each contestant received a mysterious gift box from the Chancellor. Of course, these were not real gift boxes. All the prize money and real gift boxes would be sent to the contestant's designated account and location.
Ding Meng's designated account was Lan Bing's wristwatch, and the designated place was the Bingyi Group in Blue Pole Star City.
Ding Meng was the last contestant to receive an award. Wen Yang personally shook hands with him. "Congratulations!"
Seeing the sly smile in his eyes, Ding Meng knew that the other party definitely knew his true identity.
"You're welcome!" Ding Meng replied indifferently.
Wen Yang's eyes were bright. "I look forward to the day we meet again!"
Ding Meng looked straight into his eyes. "We will!"
The conversation was short, but only the people involved knew the hidden meaning.
The Storm Gathering came to a successful end. The biggest winner of this year's gathering was the Bingyi Group. The Bingyi Group had three names in the top 16, and they were the heavyweight champion and third place.
On this day, the Bingyi Group entered holiday carnival mode. Almost everyone went to the Yihao International Hotel in the business district for a meal. Even Yao Manrou, who usually didn't touch alcohol, made an exception and drank a little.
Ding Meng's victory not only brought him a huge amount of wealth, but also a bright future for the entire group. Of course, the happiest person was Little Rascal. Wealth meant energy, and the Divine Arrow Spaceship needed energy the most.
The base on Planet V12 also held a simple celebration. This celebration was Xin Jie eating Western food alone in his room.
The carnival lasted for three days. These three days could be considered a rare break for Ding Meng. During the day, he ate and drank with the four-eyed captain and the others, and at night, he slept to his heart's content. Of course, he had to take good care of his wives. Next, he had to rush to the Madam President's invitation. Ding Meng also wanted to know why the Madam President had invited him.
A week later, they returned to the Holy Planet. Ding Meng, Jun Ling, and Ji Chenxue traveled together. After arriving at the capital, they directly checked into the Azure Sea and Clear Sky Hotel. Liang Yi had already returned from the Devouring World and had been waiting for them in the hotel room for two days.
When he saw the elegant Liang Yi, Ding Meng felt strange. "Why is your aura so weak?"
Liang Yi spread his hands. "You don't know, but Ling Yue and I went to the Flame Star and met the Immortal Yuan King and Sect Master Leng Yin."
"Oh?" Ding Meng was a little surprised. "They didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"
Liang Yi explained, "We're all old acquaintances. Originally, the Immortal Elemental Queen forbade us from getting involved, but we brought Elder Xue's spiritual body with us, so she made an exception and allowed us to stay. Sect Master Leng Yin took back Elder Xue's spiritual body and decided to rebuild his physical body. Senior Fujen Zhen also decided to stay.
Ding Meng frowned. "Why did Senior Fujen Zhen stay?
Did he want Leng Yin to reforge his body too? "
Liang Yi said, "Something like that. But Leng Yin only allowed him to stay because of you."
"Hehe, he has a good plan!"
Ding Meng thought to himself. Fujen Zhen and Xue Yue Mountain had been fighting for decades, and they had gone through thick and thin together on the Expedition. The little racial grudge between the two had probably disappeared long ago. It was not a big problem for Leng Yin to take him in. However, this meant that there would be two less knowledgeable seniors on this trip.
"Where's Waterdrop?" Ding Meng asked again.
"I'm here!"
A mass of energy immediately floated out from under Liang Yi's feet and quickly transformed into Liang Yi's image in the room. "Ding Meng, you are not kind. You showed off at the Storm Gathering and made me feel suffocated in the Devouring Sector."
Ding Meng frowned. "How did you absorb the poison?"
Waterdrop said, "Hehe, the Devouring Sector is a treasure trove. Why can't I absorb it?"
Ding Meng said helplessly, "Alright, absorbing energy is also a big strength of yours. Since everyone is here, let's rest for the night and depart together tomorrow. I'm still waiting for someone."
The person he was waiting for was none other than Eisendale's uncle, Xia Ming. When he set off from Blue Pole Star City, he contacted the Xia family for no other reason than to find out what Xia Ming was thinking. After all, Xia Ming was an executive of the Federation government's General Affairs Department and one of the core members of the President's Staff. He definitely knew something about the Madam's invitation.
Xia Ming arrived at nine o 'clock at night. Compared to the last time he visited the Xia family, Xia Ming's attitude was obviously much more polite, even a little respectful. He also knew that Ding Meng was the new champion of the Storm Gathering and was now the Madam's guest. This was not a status that ordinary people could reach.
"Uncle Xia, please sit!" Ding Meng also greeted him politely.
Xia Ming smiled and said, "Congratulations, Ding Meng. You're the new champion of the carnival."
Ding Meng said modestly, "It's all luck!"
Xia Ming did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point. "I know you're pressed for time, so I'll make it short. I heard the Madam's plan from the President before the carnival started. The President himself hopes to recruit some experts in this year's competition, but not limited to positions."
Ding Meng secretly thought that the Madam's invitation was indeed President Bai Xingfei's idea, but what did he mean by not limited to positions?
Xia Ming explained, "The President himself is very busy every day and basically has no time. I guess that the President's family has some private matters to deal with, so they want to recruit some people."
Ding Meng smiled. "The President can't deal with his own private matters, so he needs our help?"
Xia Ming said, "It's easy to deal with the public matters, but it's not convenient for us to deal with private matters. Actually, you should know some inside information. In recent years, some underground forces have seriously threatened the safety of the Federal Empire. Normal citizens might not know, but top experts at your level should know!"
Ding Meng frowned. "Hidden Front?"
Xia Ming nodded. "It's not just the Hidden Front. The Black Handprint, Blue Lotus, and Gauss have all been very active in recent years. To be honest, you must be very curious about this year's carnival. Why didn't our Federation's celebrity, Lu Xiaobing, attend?"
Ding Meng asked, "What's the reason?"
Xia Ming sighed. "She's been missing for two years. There are rumors that the Black Handprint and Blue Lotus are working together. The key is that the Federation can't find her. Lu Xiaobing is the daughter of the current Vice President, Lu Ting. Very few people know about this because they're afraid that it will cause a negative impact."
Ding Meng nodded. The Vice President's daughter was missing, and even with the Federation's power, they couldn't find her. This was something worth thinking about.
Ding Meng probed, "Don't tell me they want us to help them find her?"
Xia Ming smiled and shook his head. "Definitely not. President Bai Xingfei and Vice President Lu Ting have always had different political views. It's even more impossible for them to disturb you because of private matters. As for the purpose of the Madam's invitation, to be honest, I'm not at that level. I don't know much about it."
Ding Meng said, "It can't be that the Madam only invited our Bingyi Group, right?"
Xia Ming said, "From what I know, other than your Bingyi Group, there's also Sheng Hao Group, Tianhang Group, Hongyue Group, and the Rabik family. As for who they are, I'm not sure. That's all I know."
Ding Meng could only thank him. "Alright. Thank you, Uncle Xia, for telling me so much."
Xia Ming said, "You're welcome, Ding Meng. For Dai Dai's sake, I have to remind you that although the Madam is inviting you, she's also representing the President himself. President Bai Xingfei isn't the same person you saw in Battlecraft Combat. You haven't interacted with him before, so you might not understand his personality. He may seem amiable, but he's actually very ruthless. Every decision he makes is made after careful consideration, and his stance is very firm. So if you meet him this time, don't raise any objections. At the very least, you can't openly oppose him."
Ding Meng nodded. "I'll remember that, Uncle Xia!"
