What was inside this energy vortex? What would happen to Shen Lang after he entered? Where would he end up? What kind of mutation would there be?
When Princess Ren Yingying's mother was pregnant, she passed through the energy vortex and lost her mind, turning into a zombie. Ren Yingying, who was born, also mutated.
Dozens of people from Stupa Mountain tried to pass through the energy vortex of the Southern Sea's giant ancient ruins. In the end, almost all of them died, including a few people with Jiang Li's special bloodline. The only one who survived, Bitter Joy, also turned into a zombie and underwent a strange mutation.
However, Shen Lang had been creating miracles from start to finish. It could even be considered a miracle. He firmly believed that he was one in a billion, as if he had been blessed by God.
Hence, the moment he jumped into the energy vortex, his entire mind went blank.
Then … there was no then.
It was as if he had fallen into a complete blank. Many of the memories in his mind melted like snow under the strong sunlight.
He did not pass through to another place.
He did not escape.
There was no mutation, no miracle!
He had failed!
After he entered the energy vortex, he ended up the same as most people, just slightly better. He did not die a horrible death.
However, his memory was also messed up. His mind instantly went blank, as if the memory had exploded and turned into countless fragments.
… …
When Shen Lang woke up again, he was already in that familiar room, the room where he had been imprisoned for a few months.
When he opened his eyes again, he was sitting there in a daze.
The majestic female warrior looked at him and then quickly looked away. However, she pricked up her ears and paid attention to Shen Lang's every move.
In the past, the first thing he did when he woke up was to take off his clothes and show off his naked body. He would either chatter endlessly or carry out his ridiculous exercise plan.
But now, he was sitting there motionless.
"Who am I? Where am I? "Shen Lang suddenly asked instinctively.
After hearing this, the majestic female warrior's face suddenly trembled.
Then, Shen Lang looked at her and said, "You, who are you?"
Instantly, the majestic female warrior's eyes turned slightly red, and her entire heart began to tremble slightly.
Then, a figure walked in. It was the Stupa Mountain Master.
"Shen Lang, you failed. You failed to create a miracle." The Stupa Mountain Master said, "Of course, to a certain extent, you have also created a miracle. When the others passed through that energy vortex, almost all of them were smashed to pieces. The only one was turned into a walking corpse, completely losing his mind. But you only lost your memories."
Shen Lang slapped his head and looked at the Stupa Mountain Master. "You, who are you? Who am I? "
The Stupa Mountain Master sighed and said, "But at least you sincerely want to save my daughter. I thank you, so just pretend that nothing happened between us. I am still grateful for your risk and sacrifice."
"Ren Yingying, Ren Yingying …" Shen Lang slapped his forehead again. "I remember her, I remember Ren Yingying."
Stupa Mountain Master said, "Yes, Ren Yingying. Shen Lang, I have told you before that you have always created miracles. But this time, you have failed. In the end, you did not create the miracle that you are capable of. "
"Shen Lang …" After hearing this word, memories appeared in Shen Lang's mind. Countless past events surged in his mind.
During this process, the Stupa Mountain Master stared closely at Shen Lang's eyes. His mental strength even locked onto every pore and every reaction of Shen Lang.
He could even feel the countless information surging in Shen Lang's mind.
The Stupa Mountain Master said, "Shen Lang, you are one in a billion, but there is nothing wrong with becoming a slightly ordinary person. So, you should let nature take its course. You are ultimately different from others. Perhaps you can gradually remember some things and recuperate.
"Also, regarding the matter of risking my life to charge into the energy vortex to save my daughter. Although I did not succeed, I still want to thank you."
The Stupa Mountain Master got up and said to the majestic female warrior, "From now on, don't restrict his freedom in this underground city. He can go wherever he wants. If he wants to read, if he wants to play chess, if he wants to eat, satisfy him. "
"Dragon's Regret, Dragon's Regret …" Shen Lang seemed to be trying hard to read the memory fragments in his mind, constantly chanting new terms.
"Queen Medusa, Emperor Sauron, Princess Helen, Duchess Debus …"
At this time, Shen Lang's mind felt like it had exploded. His entire memory seemed to have exploded into countless fragments. What he had to do next was to piece these fragments together into a complete memory.
And now, he was desperately trying to remember, piecing together the memory fragments.
… …
In the following period of time, even though the Stupa Mountain Master had said that he would no longer restrict Shen Lang's freedom and that he would satisfy all his requests, Shen Lang was sitting there in a daze all the time. Whether it was when he was eating or when he was bathing, he seemed to be in a daze. His pupils were scattered, and his mouth was chattering incessantly, constantly chanting one name after another.
He was doing something. He was constantly piecing together the memory fragments, trying to recover his complete memory.
He was doing this every moment of every day, without sleep or rest, as if he was burning oil.
The originally exquisite Shen Lang was now a completely different person. He did not care about his personal image at all. He used to bathe every day, but now he did not bathe for three days and three nights. His hair was as messy as a bird's nest, and soon, his face was covered with unshaven stubble.
His image had completely changed, and he was unprecedentedly decadent.
However, the majestic female warrior insisted on bathing, shaving, and combing his hair every day.
At this time, Shen Lang looked like he could not take care of himself. He could no longer be an exquisite and handsome man, so she tried her best to maintain Shen Lang's exquisite and handsome image.
Shen Lang recalled more and more, and the relevant memories in his mind also increased. However, they were still full of fragments, and none of them were complete.
At first, he was still piecing together the memory fragments in his mind without rest, but he gradually gave up later on.
This was because many memories seemed to have completely disappeared, and even the fragments could not be found.
He fell into complete decadence and depression.
… …
One day, the Stupa Mountain Lord appeared in front of Shen Lang again and said, "We need you to do something."
Shen Lang nodded almost instinctively. He no longer pieced together memories, as if he did not dare to be interested in anything. His entire person was filled with numbness and depression.
This time, he did not even get patted on the back of his head. The Stupa Mountain Lord said, "This is the strongest anesthetic. It's as if you have fallen asleep, and when you wake up, there will be no pain. I don't want to pat the back of your head anymore. Your brain is too fragile at this time. "
Then, the Stupa Mountain Lord injected a powerful anesthetic into Shen Lang, and sure enough, Shen Lang directly fell asleep.
When he woke up again, he was already in a mysterious sea.
Looking from the sky, there was a secret island about 150 kilometers ahead. There were many people densely packed on it, and they were mining for oil and natural gas.
This was one of Shen Lang's secret bases, and a very important one at that. Not only was this a place where he mined for oil, but it was also a chemical base. It was of great significance to the Raging Tide City and the Great Qian Dynasty.
"Shen Lang, I want to ask you to activate the Regret of the Dragon and destroy all the people on the island in front, as well as all the secret bases."
"Oh." Without another word, Shen Lang cut his finger and let out a bit of blood. He mixed it with the ancient human blood fossil, creating a sun-colored blood mixture.
He dipped his finger in the blood mixture and smeared it on the words' Regret of the Dragon '. This time, he did not heavily press on the last point of the word, but only gently touched it.
Very soon, the words' Regret of the Dragon 'released light, and it was activated once again.
Ying Wuque stepped forward and turned the Nightmare Stone's launch switch.
"Swoosh …" The Regret of the Dragon shot out and flew towards the chemical base of Shen Lang a few hundred kilometers away.
At this moment, Shen Lang's face twitched slightly, as if he was stimulated by something and wanted to remember something.
The Stupa Mountain Master stepped forward and covered his eyes. "You didn't have to see this. Let's go, let's go …"
Then, the Stupa Mountain fleet immediately left.
Not long after.
A loud roar came from behind.
"Boom boom boom …"
Shen Lang's face twitched, and his eyes were filled with fear. "W-what did I just do?"
"Nothing, nothing. Just pretend that nothing happened." The Stupa Mountain Master said, "Let's go, let's go home, let's go home."
… …
Shen Lang returned to his room.
The Stupa Mountain Master even gave the order that Shen Lang could go wherever he wanted to and do whatever he wanted.
However, he still sat in the room in a daze. It was as if his emotions had been castrated, and he had fallen into absolute indifference.
Now, he did not even try to remember. He just sat there aimlessly, motionless for two days and two nights.
Not only that, but he also obeyed orders completely, as if it was a conditioned reflex.
"Time to sleep," the majestic female warrior said.
Shen Lang immediately went to bed.
"Time to wake up."
Shen Lang immediately got out of bed.
"Time to take a bath."
Shen Lang immediately took a bath.
Wasn't this scene a little familiar? It was a bit like the bitter joy after a mutation.
The twin brothers were still monitoring Shen Lang, but the content of the daily monitoring was completely blank.
And the majestic female warrior could no longer hide it. When she bathed Shen Lang, her tears fell directly, and the rims of her eyes turned red.
In fact, her weight loss plan was already halfway successful, but it seemed that no one was watching, so she stopped.
… …
"I'm sorry, daughter. I failed." The Stupa Mountain Master said, "Shen Lang did not succeed. Not only did he not find a way to save you in the energy vortex, but he also seemed to have lost his mind and memory. He was unable to create a miracle."
The Stupa Mountain Princess's face trembled slightly. "Shen Lang is a very treacherous and cunning person. Father, you must not be fooled."
The Stupa Mountain Master said, "When I brought him to the energy vortex in the ancient relic, I had already considered all the consequences. It doesn't matter if he wants to escape, or if he wants to use some kind of crafty plot, I'll accept it all. As long as there was a 1% chance of saving you, but … he still failed. But he really did want to save you. At least this time, when he rushed into the energy vortex, he did not use any crafty schemes. But he failed, and his miracle ended. He went from a one-in-a-billion genius to a mediocre person. "
The Stupa Mountain Princess said, "Father, Shen Lang is a very, very cunning person. You must be careful. It's impossible to guard against him."
The Stupa Mountain Master said, "A few days ago, he activated a Regret of the Dragon and destroyed one of his kerosene chemical bases. He completely forgot that it was his important base, and the entire process was indifferent, as if his emotions had been completely castrated. The symptoms are exactly the same as the bitter joy. "
The Stupa Mountain Princess was stunned.
"Daughter, I'm sorry. Father has failed again." The Stupa Mountain Master trembled. "But Father will never give up. If I can't see you return to normal and live on the surface, if I can't see you give birth to children, Father will not be able to rest in peace. "
The Stupa Mountain Princess's face twitched slightly. "Father, I've already said that I've already accepted my fate. Living in this catacomb every day is pretty good."
The Stupa Mountain Master looked away in pain, unable to speak for a while. He said, "When you have the time, you should also meet Shen Lang. He's better than Ying Wuming. Even though he's full of exaggerations and lies, he's right about one thing: he's more suitable for you than Ying Wuming. The Ying father and son are willing to do anything to achieve their goals. Of course, the same goes for Shen Lang. But the Ying father and son are doing it for their own benefit, while Shen Lang is willing to do anything for others. He's indeed more suitable for you. "
The Stupa Mountain Princess shook her head. "What's the point of saying all this now? Our marriage alliance with the Ying family is for our own benefit. We need the Ying family, and the Ying family needs us. "
The Stupa Mountain Master did not say anything else. He said, "In any case, when you have the time, go and see Shen Lang. Father is leaving."
Then, he walked out. When he was halfway there, he suddenly turned around and said, "Daughter, don't ever give up. At least, I will never give up. I will definitely make you a normal person. I will definitely watch you give birth to children."
"I know. You can go." The Stupa Mountain Princess looked away and raised her face, not wanting to let her tears fall.
This was because her body was transparent and extremely sensitive. Even if her tears fell, her skin would feel like it was being burned. It was extremely painful.
… …
The Stupa Mountain Master left.
The Stupa Mountain Princess once again met Shen Lang in the catacomb. Previously, he had been chattering nonstop, but this time, Shen Lang was especially quiet.
He was completely depressed and numb. It was as if he had no reaction to anything. He was really becoming more and more like Bitter Joy.
Inside the catacomb, the Stupa Mountain Princess uncovered a few night pearls and lit a few candles. She also took off her veil, revealing a strange transparent face. Once again, her true appearance was revealed.
"Shen Lang, although I kept saying that it was all up to fate and that the catacomb was pretty good. When you said that you wanted to go to the energy whirlpool to find a way to save me, although I said that you had a conspiracy and that I did not have any hope, my heart was filled with endless desire. I really hoped that you could create another miracle. I really hoped that you could save me and make me return to normal, so that I could return to the surface and give birth to children.
"When Father brought you to the energy whirlpool for a few days, I was restless. I even had trouble breathing. It felt like a year. I longed for good news, but I was also afraid of bad news.
"In the end, the bad news came. You failed. You still could not create a miracle.
"For me, the sky has collapsed once again. Even a genius like you has failed. Even a person who performed miracles like you has failed. My life is completely hopeless.
"What I said before was right. You must not have any hope. Otherwise, when you feel despair again, it will be too, too painful.
"But no matter what, I still have to thank you. At least you did not lie to me this last time. You entered the energy whirlpool to try and save me.
"My real name is … Forget it, Ren Yingying is a good name. You can continue to call me Ren Yingying.
"From now on, I will no longer have any hope. My life will be spent in this underground. I will never see the light of day. But I caused you to become like this. Perhaps I owe you an apology. I owe you a thank you.
"Shen Lang, your memories are already in a complete mess. These are all records of the surveillance on you. Take them and have a look. Perhaps you might be able to remember some things."
Shen Lang numbly received the thick surveillance records. There were millions of words.
But the content was indeed messy. Most of the words were repeated triplets and quadruplets of brainwashing.
The rest of it was just some meaningless ravings in his sleep.
Shen Lang numbly flipped through the records. Then, his finger lightly tapped on the words on the surveillance records.
"Don't be surprised. Everything is normal. I was just pretending."
Ren Yingying's heart trembled. She instinctively wanted to get angry or press Shen Lang to the ground and ask him why he was doing this. Was there any meaning in this? Was there any meaning in scheming forever?
"Ren Yingying, everything I'm about to tell you is the truth."
"I've underestimated your father. His ruthlessness is unparalleled. His scheming is also unparalleled."
"The energy whirlpool he made me rush into was fake. Also, he used dozens of people as experiments. Most of them died after entering the energy whirlpool. Only Bitter Joy survived. But he became a walking corpse and lost all of his consciousness. It was the same as your mother's symptoms. Everything he did seemed to be for you. In order to save you, he was willing to take a huge risk. He was willing to give up everything. He was even willing to take the risk of me escaping. "
"But all of this was fake. It was all a show for you, a big lie."
"He wasn't willing to use me to take the risk. Because I was related to the strategic importance of Stupa Mountain. Only I could activate Regret of the Dragon. Without me, it couldn't be launched."
"But since I said that I would save you, and since he played the role of someone who loved you dearly, he had to agree. Otherwise, the illusion of his love for you would be shattered. But he couldn't really let me go to the real energy whirlpool in the ancient ruins. "
Stupa Mountain's Princess Yingying was stunned. Almost every word in Shen Lang's seemingly messy surveillance records could be found, even the most obscure words. Moreover, Shen Lang could easily find the position of every word.
Could it be that he had thought of this day when he was babbling nonstop in his sleep?
"Perhaps you want to know why I must go to that energy whirlpool, right?" Shen Lang said, "This energy whirlpool is actually a passageway between the ancient ruins. There are super fast passageways between the cities of the ancient civilization."
For example, Princess Helen couldn't leave the Devil's Triangle at all. Later, she discovered the undersea passageway and walked it for a few months to reach the ruins of the Lost Nation.
"And this energy whirlpool is just the entrance to the super fast passageway between the ancient cities. This also requires authority. Those without authority will be crushed to pieces if they enter this energy whirlpool. Those with authority can pass through this whirlpool and enter another ancient city. "
"Two years ago, Zhu Hongxue's ten thousand Blood Soul Army went south and slaughtered almost all of the Sand Barbaric Tribe. Prince Jin led the remaining tens of thousands of troops and retreated south until they reached the end of the Sand Barbaric Tribe. There was a mountain there. Prince Jin led the remaining troops to the southernmost mountain of the Sand Barbaric Tribe."
"Half of this mountain is in the sea and the other half is on the land. It has always been called the Heaven's End Peak."
"Zhu Hongxue's Blood Soul Army searched the mountain, but they couldn't find any trace of Prince Jin. So he set the mountain on fire. Not only did he burn all the trees on the Heaven's End Peak, but he also burned thousands of miles of the primeval forest of the Sand Barbaric Tribe. If it weren't for the torrential rain that lasted for several months, the entire Sand Barbaric Tribe would have been burnt to a crisp. He committed a great crime."
"The fire burned everything, but the remains of Prince Jin's remaining troops were not found. Perhaps they were burned to ashes, or perhaps they ran into the mountain. The most important thing is that after being burned for several days and nights, the mountain actually showed some characteristics of steel. "
"In the secret base of the Zhu family, I got a few names from the confessions of the scholars of the Zhu family: White Emperor City, Huanlu City, and Jingang Peak. I didn't know what Jingang Peak meant. However, he soon realized that this was the Heaven Ceasing Peak at the southernmost tip of the Sand Barbaric Tribe. After being burned by the fire, it had actually become as hard as steel. Moreover, in the Zhu clan's destruction plan, Mt. Jingang was the last place where Prince Jin's army disappeared. “
"Judging from these signs, this Vajra Peak should also be an ancient ruin. The Zhu family and the Sky-sea Pavilion have tried many ways to open this ancient relic, but to no avail. So they even planned to use the Dragon's Regret to blow up King Kong Peak. It was not entirely to kill Prince Jin, but to obtain this ancient relic. "
"But there's another terrifying thing. Your Stupa Mountain's huge ancient relic in the southern sea is simply too huge. It stretches for thousands of miles and even extends to the foot of Vajra Peak. These are two independent ancient cities, but there are secret express passageways between them. It's just like the Devil's Triangle and the Lost Ancient Ruins, which are connected by secret passageways over ten thousand miles apart. "
"And this energy whirlpool is actually the checkpoint between the ancient relic in the southern sea and the ancient relic in Mt. Jingang. However, the people of Stupa Mountain do not have the authority to enter this energy whirlpool, so all those who have tried have been annihilated."
"Regarding this, I was only guessing. Later, the appearance of Bitter Joy confirmed my guess. He had clearly disappeared in King Kong Peak with Prince Jin. Why did he suddenly appear and even become your captive?"
"Previously, you asked me why I didn't escape after successfully stealing two Dragon's Regret? Why did I continue to be a captive? Do you have some unspeakable goal? Yes, I want to pass through the energy whirlpool and enter the ancient relic in Mt. Jingang. I want to save Prince Jin and the remaining tens of thousands of people. These people are the most loyal to me. They have almost sacrificed their lives for me. I have to save them. "
Princess Yingying was stunned, but her expression did not change. She was born expressionless, but her heart was surging like a raging tide.
Now that the truth was out, she did not expect that Shen Lang continued to take the risk to save Prince Jin and the tens of thousands of people.
Moreover, in order to do this, he had started planning a few months in advance. This was obviously much more difficult for him than stealing the Dragon's Regret.
Shen Lang said, "But my previous plans have all failed because your father is too clever and cunning. He did not give me any chance at all."
Princess Yingying looked at Shen Lang. Although she did not speak, what she wanted to express was clear.
Shen Lang continued to tap on the words on the monitor and said, "You want to ask me why I'm telling you the truth now when I've never spoken a word of truth to you before?"
"Ren Yingying, I really, really want to save you. I almost tried."
"Now, I have to tell you the truth. Your mother passed through an energy whirlpool when she was pregnant, causing the fetus in her womb to mutate, causing you to become so strange and terrifying after you were born. Moreover, your mother lost her mind after leaving the energy whirlpool and became a walking corpse. All of this is a lie, a lie.
"The reason why you became like this was not because of the mutation of your bloodline, nor was it because of the radiation from the energy whirlpool. It was because your father cultivated an extremely terrifying Gu worm in your body. He used your body, your life, and you as a cultivation medium for the Gu worm. He treated you as the mother of the Gu worm. The reason why you became what you are today was completely because of him.
"He sacrificed your life, your freedom, and turned you into this monster to raise the Gu worm. When the most terrifying and powerful Gu worm is raised, it will be the time of your death.
"He is your father, but he used your life and body to feed the Gu worm. He treated you as food for the Gu worm.
"My blood can kill all Gu worms, but I don't dare to try. I can't. Not only can my blood kill the most powerful Gu worm in your body, but it can also take your life.
"Ren Yingying, this is all the truth I've told you. Not a single lie.
"And your mother's brain was also damaged by your father, and she became a walking corpse."
"Your father is probably the scariest demon in the world, and also the scariest opponent I've met so far. He and Ying Guang are really evenly matched.
"Yingying, follow me and escape from here. Follow me to save Prince Jin. Follow me to the ancient ruins of Mt. King Kong. I'll help you escape from your father's clutches. Yingying, this is my last chance to save you! "
