Ding Meng continued, "Ever since the seal of the Black Handprint was lifted, all sorts of Demons have appeared all over the world. Black Widow appeared on the Flame Planet in the Devouring Domain, General Gong Ping of the Empire appeared in the Hidden Front Space Station, and Lin Fei replaced Wen Yang as Ruler on Rainforest Planet No.5. All of these could be pawns."
Ji Chenxue was shocked. "Were they all orchestrated by the Elders?"
Ding Meng shook his head. "It's not that simple. The Elders represent the Mou Xing Civilization. I'm guessing that the Demonsky Empire must be in a similar situation, or they might be reborn with a spirit body, or they might have a spokesperson. They're all trying to find a way to obtain the Divine Light energy, because to them, it's the best treasure in this galaxy."
Ling Xingqi's tone turned cold. "It seems like we've all become someone else's pawns."
Ding Meng said, "The Hidden Front that Lin Fei represents is probably the Demons of the Demonsky Empire. He was chosen because he had a huge grudge against Ruler Wen Yang, who used to be a Divine Light martial artist. That's why he plotted such a big scheme. Once Lin Fei became the Ruler, the Empire would be directly controlled by the Demons."
Ji Chenxue frowned. "But Wen Yang quickly took back the position of Ruler."
Ding Meng sighed again. "When we were on Rainforest Planet No.5, the person who took away Wen Yang was Julie. She left me alone. I was wondering why the Fifth Lord's forces didn't do anything to me. It wasn't because I was a Divine Light martial artist, but because Julie and the others knew that I was still useful. I would be useful in the crucial step of opening the forbidden area in the future …"
He paused for a second and then continued, "The condition to open the forbidden area of the underground world requires three seals, which can only be obtained by the Divine Light warriors. The Demon warriors can't do anything about it. After the screening of the Wind Cloud Meeting, a total of five Divine Light warriors have been released. They are me, you, my little sister, Ling Xingqi, and Lei Jingtian. Out of the five, three of them will succeed. The real opening location of this forbidden area is on Planet No.5, but it has a harsh condition. If the formation in the underground world is not activated, that place will always be a dead zone. This is enough to prove that Mou Xingli was already prepared when he escaped that year. He set up the energy of the Divine Light as a subspace formation and moved it around Planet No.5 randomly. Even if the Demon Race knows this, they can't do anything to the God Race. The most important thing is that even if they find the Princess, it won't help. They must gather all three seals. In other words, the three of them must not only be together, but also have the same opinion."
Ji Chenxue was impressed. "Mou Xingqi's royal family has really thought far ahead!"
Ding Meng said, "This explains it. Julie has been waiting on Planet No.5 for a long time. She was there during the Hidden Front incident, and she was there this time as well. She didn't lie. She really has been waiting on Planet No.5 for this day. Looking at all the clues, I am indeed the key person to opening the forbidden area. Unfortunately, I was set up by someone else. The key is that I don't even know who the person is or where he is.
He's really amazing! "
Ji Chenxue could only smile bitterly now. What Ding Meng said might not be the whole picture, but it was enough to confuse him.
Ling Xingqi suddenly spoke again. "After I recover from my injuries and seek justice for my parents, I will change my name and face. In the future, I will go to the countryside and live a rural life of farming and herding. I will never participate in these things again."
At this moment, Jun Ling suddenly opened his eyes and sighed. "That's easy for you to say. I still want to go back to my hometown on Planet McGrady and live a nomadic life with Elephant, Little Arrow, and the others in the grasslands every day. How nice would it be to live a carefree life."
Ling Xingqi closed her eyes and nodded. "I understand. Perhaps this is what it means to be in the martial arts world. After being involved in such a big whirlpool, it's very difficult to get out."
Ding Meng felt Jun Ling's aura and couldn't help but be surprised. "You've recovered?
How is that possible? "
Jun Ling slowly stood up and stretched his limbs. "I told you that there is a huge amount of Divine Light energy here. You didn't believe me?
But now, this aura seems to have disappeared. "
After he finished speaking, the white fog and light around them seemed to disperse quite a bit. The crystals on the ground also started to glow faintly.
Ding Meng and Ji Chenxue looked at each other again. What was going on?
They weren't surprised by the changes in the landscape around them, but by Jun Ling's speed of recovery. It was so fast that it made them speechless.
Logically speaking, with such serious injuries, even if he used Divine Light energy to heal, it would take at least a few months. They didn't expect him to recover so quickly.
The two of them were still in a daze. Unexpectedly, Ling Xingqi also slowly opened her eyes and slowly stood up. The aura on her body became extremely powerful.
Ding Meng was even more surprised. Ling Xingqi's injuries definitely couldn't be healed without one or two years. If she used the three big cabins to recover, she might not be able to get better even after a few decades. But now, she had recovered.
"This space is specially used for recovery and healing?" Ding Meng asked suspiciously.
After he finished speaking, all the light fog around them faded away. The ground was lit up like a light board. The entire space finally returned to the appearance of the Divine Light Plaza.
Ji Chenxue said, "Could it be because of the inheritance item?"
Only the four of them could understand this. Why did Jun Ling and Ling Xingqi feel the healing energy?
Because the necklace was now on Jun Ling's neck, and the battle blade was now on Ling Xingqi.
Ling Xingqi waved one hand, and a huge light blade was suddenly pulled out.
The light blade indeed had a reaction. It slowly floated into the air, and rippled like water in all directions. Then, it spun a few times, and a translucent door appeared.
The four of them were surprised and happy. The exit really needed Divine Light equipment as a tool. The design of this forbidden area was really ingenious. Even if Demons broke in, they wouldn't be able to find out without Divine Light equipment.
Ding Meng glanced at the three of them. The three of them nodded, meaning that it was better to be careful.
Gently passing through the door, Ding Meng found that the four of them had arrived at a narrow pink room. The shape of this room was very strange. It seemed to be in the shape of a spiral. The furnishings inside were extremely simple. There was only a pink mat spread out on the ground. They couldn't tell what material it was made of.
Jun Ling suddenly said, "Did you guys notice that the shape of this room is a bit like a clam?"
If she didn't say that, they wouldn't have noticed. Now that they took a closer look, they realized that it was indeed so. What kind of strange room was this?
Ling Xingqi pointed to the side. "There's a door here!"
Everyone turned to look. The wall on the left wasn't actually a wall, but a pink gauze curtain. Because it was too realistic, it was almost exactly the same as the wall.
Opening the gauze curtain and walking out, the first thing they saw was the glaring sunlight. The sunlight was too bright, so bright that it was unreal.
Then, Ding Meng and the others saw an unbelievable scene. In front of them was an endless blue ocean. Above them was a cloudless blue sky. However, they could see the outline of a huge star in the sky. This was clearly an extraterrestrial planet.
The four of them were standing on a beach. Behind them was really a clam building. There were many such buildings on the beach. They looked like scallops, crabs, shrimps, jellyfish, dolphins … They looked very much like all the creatures in the ocean, but they didn't look like houses.
However, these buildings were clearly houses. Moreover, these houses didn't look sinister or scary. Instead, the colorful colors made them look very cute. They stretched out on the beach like a cartoon house in a fairy tale.
In the shallows near the sea, Ding Meng and the others finally saw a group of Mou Xing pearl people. However, these people didn't have any energy waves.
"It's a holographic projection!" Ling Xingqi said decisively. A similar situation had already occurred on the island in the underground world.
"What are they doing?" Ji Chenxue was curious.
Some of these pearl people were holding fishing nets, while others were carrying baskets. They were in groups of twos and threes. They seemed to be fishing for something in the sea.
Very quickly, Ding Meng and the others knew what these people were doing. The fishing nets were scooping up crystals that flickered with a dark red light. These were piles of crystals, and there were even blue crystals mixed in.
Ding Meng was shocked beyond words. "True Origin Red Crystals?"
Ling Xingqi was expressionless. "Those blue crystals are the legendary True Origin Blue Crystals."
Ji Chenxue said involuntarily, "Heavens, are they directly harvesting them from the sea?"
Ding Meng's mouth fell open. He was also deeply shocked by this scene. It must be known that a finger-sized Inverse Source Crystal was enough to allow an Origin Ability User to become a Combat Master. A Divine Light Crystal could allow a Combat Master to break through to the Battle Monarch level. As for a precious True Origin Red Crystal, it could directly allow one to enter the ranks of Battle Saints or even higher.
Not to mention that there were so many True Origin Red Crystals, just the random crystal in the net was the size of an apple, and the largest was about the size of a fist. If this were placed in the human world, it would probably be an invaluable treasure. However, the pearl people were actually using fishing nets to scoop them up and carrying them in baskets. It was hard to imagine just how terrifying this energy source was.
Fortunately, this was a holographic projection. If this were the real world, just the energy waves from these crystals would be enough to knock the four of them unconscious.
Suddenly, the crowd cheered. Ding Meng and the others looked carefully. A group of people had scooped up a seven-colored True Origin Crystal the size of a soccer ball. The group of people held up the crystal as if it were a treasure. They carefully wrapped it in a transparent film and placed it in their baskets.
Ji Chenxue seemed to have realized something. "This is the Mou Xing?"
Ding Meng also calmed down. "I'm afraid so."
Jun Ling said, "But these are all holographic projections."
Ding Meng said, "Don't be anxious. Since the memory device has been activated, there must be something else."
At this time, the Mou Xing people on the beach had already finished scooping up the crystals. They were all happily singing and carrying baskets as they walked along the shoreline in groups.
When they looked up again into the distance, a pure white and sacred "path of light" appeared in mid-air. It was like a soft veil that rose straight into the sky and extended to the horizon.
A grand, exquisite, and sacred palace appeared in the sky. It was formed by two giant pearls, and from the looks of it, they seemed to be fusing as they bathed in divine light. However, from another perspective, this seemed to be the splitting of molecules. This was the origin of the universe, and also the mechanism of the birth of the world.
Seeing this, Ding Meng and the others were finally convinced that this was the Mou Xing without a doubt.
