If one looked down from the sky, they would find that the entire world had become a giant spider web.
The 199 domed cities were like nodes. There were special passages connecting the domed cities, and these ancient special passages were also protected by a layer of energy to ensure that these cities could move quickly.
Didn't this look like the structure of an ancient city?
Yes, it was very similar.
Back then, the southern sea region ancient ruins, Diamond Peak ancient ruins, and the ancient square ancient ruins were also connected by special passages.
Not only that, there was also a special passage at the bottom of the sea between the Devil Triangle and the ruins of the Lost Nation.
Previously, many ancient ruins had been discovered. Some had been completely submerged in the earth, while others were still intact and covered by domes.
At that time, Shen Lang had been very curious. After the Great Nirvana, these ancient cities had sunk into the ground and were still intact. Why was there a barrier covering them?
Now he should understand that these were new cities built by the ancient Eastern Empire before the Great Nirvana. They had originally wanted to use these domes to defend against the Great Nirvana.
So what was the Great Nirvana? Why did they build domes to protect the cities?
Back to the main topic. At this time, the Jiang Empire had 199 domed cities scattered across the entire planet like a dense spider web, and the center of the spider web was the North Pole Sacred Capital!
At this time, the North Pole Sacred Capital had already risen an unprecedented ancient palace.
This place was still in eternal night, but the entire North Pole Sacred Capital's palace was shining brightly.
There were no real humans here. They were all human fossils buried in the ancient ruins. They had already awakened, but each of them was like the walking dead. Their bodies had also undergone permanent changes. They were like fossils, but also like crystals. They definitely did not have a body of flesh and blood.
This ancient puppet army was an astronomical number. They were black and dense, covering the sky.
It was impossible to count how many there were.
In Jiang Li's empire, there were less than 300,000 ancient humans with eternal souls and energy bodies. They were the top of the pyramid of the empire.
As for the revived puppet legions, they were simply uncountable.
At this time, the scale of Jiang Li's North Pole Palace was far larger than the Lich King's Ice Crown Fortress. It was more than a hundred times larger.
It was like a giant demon covering the northern end of the planet.
If the 199 domed cities and special passages formed a huge spider web, then the Arctic Palace was like the demon in the web.
These special passageways were its tentacles. The one hundred and ninety-nine gigantic probes pierced into the core of the planet and frantically absorbed energy to supply the entire North Pole Imperial Palace.
Therefore …
Jiang Li was crazily devouring the energy of the entire planet.
It had been twenty-nine years. Ever since he recovered in the North Pole, he had never left.
He sent hundreds of thousands of ancient Homo Evolutis to every corner to help him rule over this incomparably huge Jiang Empire.
He had never been to the Great Jiang Imperial Capital (formerly Flame Capital City).
… …
In the North Pole Palace.
It was as tall as a mountain and as vast as a universe.
The throne made of Hell Crystals wasn't impressive or domineering, nor was it as bizarre or sinister as the Iron Throne. It was just a very ordinary throne.
Jiang Li sat there quietly, motionless, like a statue.
What did he look like now?
Shen Lang's body? No!
To be precise, it was hard to tell what his body was, because his entire body was covered in dark armor, and only his two eye sockets were visible.
And these two eyes were completely filled with the light of Hell Crystals, and they were solidified Hell Crystals.
Just like that, he remained motionless, and his two eyes seemed to be frozen.
After a long while.
Suddenly, his eyes melted. From solidified Hell Crystals, they turned into surging Hell Crystal light.
Then, he opened his hand slightly.
In an instant, an energy prison appeared in the entire hall. It was also an energy prison made of Hell Crystals.
There was a person inside.
To be precise, she didn't look like a human, because she had black wings on her back. Her face was similar to a human's, but her body was very different.
If one looked closely, they could still see the outline of her face. It was Ren Yingying.
"Ren Yingying, Queen of Darkness, or my teacher. Which title do you prefer?" Jiang Li said plainly.
The other party thought for a while, then nodded. "Let's call you Ren Yingying. I don't like the title of Queen of Darkness at all, and the title of teacher makes me nauseous."
This … this Ren Yingying was the Queen of Darkness who escaped from the second prison cell?
The so-called number one Gu in the world? No matter what species she was, she was definitely not human.
But it was clearly written in the second prison cell. This Queen of Darkness created a plague that killed tens of millions of ancient humans.
It looked like a virus, but it also looked like a Gu worm.
"Ren Yingying, poor child." The Darkness Empress said: "To a certain extent, I am the ancestor of Stupa Mountain, I am the totem of Stupa Mountain. For hundreds of years, Stupa Mountain has created a large number of Gu worms through me, becoming a transcendent force in the world. I originally wanted to nurture this force and wait for the right time, but I didn't expect Stupa Mountain's people to be so disappointing. They couldn't make any breakthroughs in their Gu worm research, so they went to excavate some ancient ruins, abandoning their old profession. I, the soul body of the Mother of Poison, was actually treated as the number one Gu worm in the world, and was placed into his daughter Ren Yingying's body to be nurtured. "
Then why didn't the Queen of Darkness possess the body earlier? To recover the body?
The hatching of a giant dragon required a large amount of energy, and so did the Queen of Darkness. Before entering the ancient dragon box, she would never have enough energy to recover.
According to her original plan, she wanted to use Stupa Mountain to nurture an extremely powerful lifeform, a race that was the closest to the Queen of Darkness. Then, she would place her soul in this lifeform.
However, after developing for hundreds of years, Stupa Mountain was stuck in a bottleneck in the path of Gu worms and lifeforms.
A group of people wanted to fight for power, and a genius like Wu Tuzi was completely frozen.
Thus, when Ren Yingying's body was placed into the dragon box, she absorbed a large amount of energy and immediately broke out of the cocoon, waking up.
Moreover, after waking up, she was like a starving baby, devouring all kinds of energy.
She devoured all kinds of energy, ancient human totems, dragon blood, Dragon Pool radiation, and in short, she devoured all kinds of energy.
She wanted to strengthen herself in the shortest time possible, because time … was running out.
Of course, she didn't make it in time in the end.
"Jiang Xie, my good student, you are truly the god of cunning." The Queen of Darkness said, "You really make me gasp in amazement. Half of your control over dark energy is due to me, right? The other half of your cultivation of the hell crystal is also due to me."
Jiang Li said, "Of course, you have taught me a lot. The reason why I am so strong today is largely due to you."
The Queen of Darkness said, "Using my dark energy virus to slaughter millions of ancient humans and extract their soul energy for experiments was your actions. In the end, the crime fell on my head, and it was also because of you that I was imprisoned in the ancient prison."
Jiang Li said, "Dear teacher, only you have that dark energy virus. You are a human from the Dark Abyss. Half of your body is human, and the other half is energy. This really fascinates me. Moreover, without the souls of millions of people for experiments, our hell crystal would not have succeeded, and our ancient civilization would not have been able to make a comeback. "
"Deranged." The Queen of Darkness said, "The reason we agreed to help you was because you said you could save the world and resist the Great Destruction of the Ancient Era. But we never thought that you were destroying the entire planet. "
Jiang Li said, "What I did was not wrong. Only by raising the level of civilization and creating new eternal humans can we truly save the world. The world I am talking about is human civilization, not a mere planet. Your understanding is too narrow. Because we only have one planet now, so you still value it so much. But when we have many planets in the future, you will abandon it like a pair of old shoes. Everything I am doing now is to let the new humans walk out of this galaxy and conquer the sea of stars outside. That is the true way, and only then can we avoid the Great Destruction of the Ancient Era. "
The Queen of Darkness said, "In the ancient era, although I was a demoness, and although I did all kinds of evil, this planet is my home, and I love it dearly."
Jiang Li said, "See, this is also a low-level emotion. Alright, alright, this kind of argument will never have an outcome. Teacher, when the North Pole changed and I wanted to take over Shen Lang's body, you suddenly appeared. I remember that there were three people at that time. You were prisoner number 2, prisoner number 3, and prisoner number 4. "
That day, the Queen of Darkness launched a suicidal attack, and the target of her attack was Shen Lang's body.
But at that time, Jiang Li controlled countless hell crystals to protect this body, so the Queen of Darkness only managed to create a hole, but it was enough to be fatal.
The hell crystal had to be intact.
It was extremely powerful and completely indestructible, and no known energy could harm it.
But who was the most familiar with the hell crystal?
The Queen of Darkness, because he had been involved in the creation of the hell crystal.
And in these few years, she had madly devoured all known energy, just for that one attack.
Condensing a point of light with shocking energy, just to poke a small hole in the hell crystal.
And once this hole was formed, it was extremely fatal, and the entire hell crystal would continuously dissipate.
Just like the famous Rupert's Tear, it was just an ordinary glass with a special shape, but its front was extremely tough. Even if a bullet hit it, it would be fine, and the bullet would shatter instead. However, its tail was extremely fragile. With a gentle pinch, the entire Glass Rupert's Tear would shatter into pieces.
Of course, the fatal thing was that this small hole had pierced through the hell crystal, as well as Shen Lang's brain, almost destroying his entire body.
Jiang Li immediately stopped crushing Shen Lang's soul. His soul left his body, and he used all his strength to seal the hole in the hell crystal, even if it was only the size of a needle's eye.
At the same time, prisoner number 3 and 4 of the ancient prison took the opportunity to descend to the North Pole at lightning speed, and rescue Shen Lang's … remains.
And this organization was formed by the prisoners of the ancient prison.
It was formed by the prisoners of the ancient prison. Prisoner number 2, 3, and 4 were known as the Zero Organization.
So where was prisoner number 5? He had never appeared from start to finish.
Shen Lang had been to the ancient prison before. Prisoner number 1 was Jiang Xie (a substitute), and prisoner number 2 was the Queen of Darkness.
At that time, he was completely shocked. The Queen of Darkness had slaughtered millions, but she was only prisoner number 2?
Then how powerful were prisoners number 3 and 4?
And their prisons were incomparably huge, especially prison number 4. It seemed to be able to contain a giant dragon.
And the most bizarre was prison number 5. It was very, very small, even smaller than Jiang Xie's prison number 1.
"Where's Master Prophet in prison number 5? Why don't I see him? " Jiang Li said, "Queen of Darkness, you taught me the power of darkness, and the success of the hell crystal is mostly due to your efforts. But my true wisdom teacher, and Master Prophet, where did he go? His dwarf-like body carries an intelligence that ordinary people can't even imagine. "
Queen of Darkness said, "Jiang Xie, Prophet Chaos hides from the world. If not for your desire to save the world, he wouldn't have appeared, and he wouldn't have become your teacher."
So this prisoner number 5 was called Prophet, and his name was Chaos.
Jiang Li smiled and said, "Yes, almost all of my wisdom was taught to me by him. My high-level dragon comprehension was also taught by him. He was my guiding light in life. If not for Master Prophet, I wouldn't be here today, and there wouldn't be such a powerful civilization. "
The Queen of Darkness said, "So, after you learned the high-level dragon enlightenment, you seized the spiritual knowledge and power of Queen Medusa, and the first thing you did when you came back was to turn your Master Prophet into a fossil? And locked him in prison number 5? "
Jiang Li said, "First, because you obstructed my plan, I could only imprison you. And Master Prophet didn't resist at all, as if he was happy to be turned into a fossil. He always regretted that he couldn't complete the ultimate dragon comprehension. After I turned him into a fossil, he lay dormant for ten thousand years. Maybe that was the best opportunity to comprehend. Maybe he comprehended the ultimate dragon comprehension instead? "
Jiang Li said again, "And he's a Master Prophet. Can't he predict my next move? Why didn't he stop me in advance and just watch? "
Queen of Darkness said, "Then, have you ever thought about how we were able to come out of the ancient prison? I can tell you that I don't know anything about it. When I woke up again, I was already a dark soul body discovered by the ancestors of Stupa Mountain and regarded as a treasure. Not only me, but prisoner number 3 and number 4 also came out of the ancient prison inexplicably. What does that prove? "
Jiang Li's face trembled slightly.
Queen of Darkness said again, "Do you think it was Master Prophet who saved us? Of course, this ancient prison was designed by you. No external force can open it. And when we were imprisoned, we were in a dying state or almost dead. Who else can save us other than Master Prophet? "
Jiang Li said after a long silence, "Sigh, some people just can't be killed. How troublesome."
Queen of Darkness said, "Master Prophet, you don't dare to kill him, do you? Although he doesn't have the strength to truss a chicken, he has the highest intelligence in this world. Once he is killed, it will cause a huge change. Even the only hope to save the world in the future will be gone. "
"Your Majesty Jiang Li, have you ever thought about it? Perhaps all of this is within Master Prophet's expectations, and all the calamities are necessary? But in the end, the world can still be saved. But … this savior is not you. "
Queen of Darkness's words were even more heart-wrenching.
Jiang Li said indifferently, "Queen of Darkness, do you know Shen Lang's plan at that time? When I was trying to destroy his soul, he had a crazy plan that had been brewing for a long time. "
Queen of Darkness said, "What plan?"
Jiang Li said, "I kept crushing his soul, condensing it into a point, and then continued to collapse, collapse, and collapse. And when the collapse reached the limit, an unprecedented soul explosion would occur, even turning my soul and my hell crystal into ashes. He called this fusion. "
Queen of Darkness said in silence, "This … is beyond my knowledge."
Jiang Li said, "He had already completed the nuclear fission in the body of the Jiang Clan's dragon. When he fought against the Ji Clan's dragon, he relied on the fission in the dragon's body to defeat his opponent. At the last moment in the North Pole, he wanted to use soul fusion to destroy me. It was a very grand plan, but it was destined to fail. Because his soul was too weak, it collapsed and was destroyed before it could fuse. "
"Queen of Darkness, when you took Shen Lang away, there was only a little bit of his body left," Jiang Li said. "Where did you hide him? Now that 29 years have passed, is he alive or dead? I know what you want to do. Number Three and Number Four tried their best to modify him, even at the expense of everything. But he is just an ordinary human, and the room for modification is very, very small. Even if the modification is done to the limit, he won't be that strong. "
Queen of Darkness said, "Is that so? I am Number Three and Number Four, but I am filled with great expectations. I am good at destruction, and Number Three and Number Four are good at creation. "
"Jiang Li, don't forget that Number Three is the ancient Wisdom King, and he is good at soul molding. Number Four is the Mother of Dragons, and the dragons of the Ancient Empire were bred by her. "
Queen of Darkness's casual words were the top secrets of the ancient era.
Sure enough, the people imprisoned in this ancient prison were all the top experts of the ancient world.
For a very long time, these four experts didn't have any contact with each other, and were even life and death enemies.
Especially the Queen of Darkness, her race in the Abyss Crack had always been the mortal enemy of the Ancient Empire.
But before the Great Nirvana, these four put aside their differences, united as one, and nurtured the extremely intelligent Jiang Xie, all for the sake of saving the world.
Especially the Prophet, who never appeared, also became Jiang Xie's mentor.
But Jiang Xie had his own plan for saving the world.
He had gathered the power and wisdom of the Empress of Darkness, the Ancient Wisdom King, the Mother of Dragons, the Prophet of Chaos, and the Medusa Empress. He had finally completed this great undertaking and became a peak expert in the universe.
Moreover, he used his own methods to save the so-called ancient civilization, and escaped the Great Nirvana.
The Queen of Darkness said, "Jiang Li, if I were you, the sooner Shen Lang appears, the happier I will be. Because this means that the Ancient Wisdom King and the Mother of Dragons created his body in a hurry, and not perfect enough. But now, 29 years have passed, and Shen Lang still hasn't appeared. This means that these two heaven-defying experts used 29 years to nurture a brand new body for Shen Lang. Moreover, the most crucial point is that this body was completely nurtured based on Shen Lang's surviving remains, completely guaranteeing the purity of his genes. Therefore, this body is still Shen Lang's own body, just that it has become extremely perfect. "
"Jiang Li, you're right. Shen Lang's previous body didn't transcend the limits of humans, and it can't be said to be very outstanding. But now, 29 years have passed, and he still hasn't appeared. I can't imagine how the Ancient Wisdom King and the Mother of Dragons will nurture his body. "
"I believe you've already sent your minions to search everywhere in the world. You've sent at least 100,000 secret envoys to find their traces, but to no avail."
"Unfortunately, you have to guard this Hell Throne and can't go to the ends of the earth yourself. I'm so sorry for poking a hole in your Hell Crystal back then."
(This plot was supposed to be revealed later, but because of yesterday's so-called green hat scandal, I had to write it in advance. Tears streamed down my face. My book is not only perfectionist when it comes to women, but it also has mysophobia. It's impossible for there to be even a little bit of green hat. Sob sob)
… …
Shen Lang lay quietly on the bed, still deep in thought.
Ever since he woke up, he spent most of his time watching and thinking. So he didn't interfere with or stop everything that happened, even if hundreds of thousands of people were slaughtered in Shen City today.
Today's events were a little abnormal. The exposure of the rebel army that infiltrated Tian Nan City was very unusual, and his suicide attack plan was also very ridiculous.
He wanted to blow up the dome's energy pillar? How was that possible?
The dome's energy pillar was a giant probe that pierced directly into the earth's core. It was impossible to blow it up.
You ask Shen Lang how he knew?
Because his X-ray eyes seemed to have evolved countless times. Previously, the range he could see was very limited.
But now, he could see through the surface and penetrate deep into the earth from a very long distance away.
So, he could see that there was an energy core in these huge buildings at a glance. He could also see that the dome of Tian Nan City had 21 giant probes piercing into the earth's core and crazily absorbing the planet's energy.
If he wanted to, he could even start a countdown of the planet's life.
This had completely surpassed any artificial intelligence. Even a supercomputer would need a very long time to calculate the life of a planet.
Moreover, Shen Lang was getting more and more familiar with this body. It was as if it was his previous body, because the senses of the peripheral nerves were exactly the same.
It was just that this body of his had become … very … very perfect.
His brain seemed to have become stronger, especially the space in his brain. It seemed to have become much, much, much bigger.
It was as if he had upgraded from an ordinary server to a galactic supercomputer.
Next, if he was in a private space with no one around, Shen Lang would try to analyze his blood and his DNA to see if it was the same as before. But he only had the DNA data of his body on Earth.
So, who was this Zero Organization?
Why did this Zero Organization completely disappear after he woke up?
Shen Lang thought about too many things every day, so he spent most of his time watching the world coldly from the sidelines.
There was also one thing that was very strange.
When Shen Lang first entered the Governor's Office, Xu Qianqian said, "How have you been?"
What … did that mean?
She definitely did not recognize Shen Lang. Although Shen Lang did not know much about this body of his, he clearly knew that basically no one could tell that he was Shen Lang.
That meant that Xu Qianqian knew this face?
But … Shen Lang's face was temporary.
As he understood his body, he gradually discovered that he could change his face.
Within a certain range, he could change into many people's faces. So, he could completely change back to his original appearance. In fact … this body was his original appearance. It was just that in order for him to better understand the current world, Zero killed an ancient human envoy and made Shen Lang change into his face.
Xu Qianqian knew this ancient human envoy and trusted him very much when she said that she was well.
This was a form of trust, not from a mutual relationship, but … because they were of the same race?
But Shen Lang used an X-ray on Xu Qianqian. There was no mistake. That was Xu Qianqian's body. The skeleton was completely gentle.
A human's body might change in weight and fat, but the skeleton would not change much. When he first saw Xu Qianqian, Shen Lang scanned her skeleton and it was a 100% match with Xu Qianqian.
But her "How have you been?" was too strange.
There was also Shen Cheng's skeleton. Shen Lang had also scanned it. This kid was too naughty when he was young. He once fell from a building and fractured his bones. Although he recovered later, there were still traces of the fracture.
And under Shen Lang's X-ray scan, the fracture of Shen Cheng's calf bone was still there. This made Shen Lang no longer have any doubts.
But today, when Shen Cheng ordered the massacre of 130,000 people, that aloof and indifferent temperament was too unusual. It was really like pouring boiling water on an ant to death.
This kind of temperament could only be found in one kind of person, and that was the ancient human.
Shen Lang had watched Shen Cheng grow up. Although he was naughty, he was definitely not that vicious. His personality might develop, but it would not undergo such a subversive change.
And in the North Pole, Shen Lang saw with his own eyes that the ancient human's soul was eternal. They had a powerful energy body and could also change their appearance and body.
So, Shen Lang could not help but have a bold guess.
The Shen Cheng in front of him was not the real Shen Cheng. The Xu Qianqian in front of him was also not the real Xu Qianqian.
It was a transformation of the ancient human.
This thought made one's hair stand on end.
When he was in the North Pole, he clearly saw that under Jiang Li's control, these ancient human formed a new body. At first, they did not have gender and were like robots. Then, they gradually changed their faces.
In other words … Jiang Li made all the ancient human replace all the important people in this world?
Then he made them play all kinds of roles. Pretend to be Xu Qianqian, pretend to be Shen Cheng, pretend to be others?
Did that mean that all the relatives of Shen Lang in the Imperial Capital were fake? They were all transformed by the ancient human?
Then where were Shen Lang's wife and children?
It was really chilling.
All the officials of the Jiang Empire and all the familiar faces were transformed by the ancient human.
What was the purpose of this? Why?
And the ancient human who pretended to be Xu Qianqian was clearly in the Imperial Capital. Why did he come to Tian Nan City now?
There was a conspiracy. There must be a huge conspiracy. What did this group of ancient human want to do?
What was their purpose?
Shen Lang instinctively thought of the Land of Light, the only force that could resist the Darkness Empire.
… … …
In the governor's residence.
The governor of Shen City was still languid. His eyes were full of arrogance and loftiness.
"Do you want me to accompany you to the Duke of Xuanwu's residence?" Shen Cheng asked.
Xu Qianqian said, "No need. If you go, you might alarm them. This time, the leader is Zhu Hongxue. He is an important person. We must not scare him away. Not only do we have to carry out the hunting and replication plan, we also have to carry out the infiltration plan. Are you ready? "
Shen Cheng said, "Of course we're ready. As long as we take him down, we can read his memories in the shortest time possible and use us Homo Evolutis to replicate Zhu Hongxue. Then, we can sneak into the Land of Light together."
Xu Qianqian said, "We have enough impersonators in the Land of Light. We can launch an attack and completely destroy the only organization loyal to Shen Lang. This way, even if Shen Lang returns, he will not have any subordinates."
Shen Cheng said indifferently, "That needs the orders from above. We just need to carry out the orders. Let's go. You should go. "
… … …
A quarter of an hour later!
Xu Qianqian accompanied Princess Shen Mi. Under the protection of a thousand aerial troops, they flew to the Duke of Xuanwu's residence to prepare to hunt down Zhu Hongxue.
And Zhu Hongxue's men were lying in ambush in a cave near the Duke of Xuanwu's residence, quietly waiting for the arrival of Princess Shen Mi and Xu Qianqian.
Princess Shen Mi was His Majesty's flesh and blood. They must rescue her and send her to the Land of Light!
