There was no need to waste any words to describe the effect of this 50 megaton hydrogen bomb. In short, it was equivalent to 1,000 Super Regret of the Dragon.
It could destroy the world!
No wonder the Soviet Union stopped testing super high-yield hydrogen bombs later on. It was because they could not find a suitable testing site.
The hydrogen bomb was the ultimate imitation of the Sun.
Even though they were more than two hundred miles away, Grand Secretary Twain, Gregory, and everyone else were completely shocked by this scene.
Especially Gregory. His always calm gaze was especially shocked. It was as if he could not believe that he was the one who created this thing.
After a long time, Grand Secretary Twain said, "Your Majesty, this thing can completely destroy the entire planet, right?"
Shen Lang said, "In theory."
That's right, it was only in theory. There were many theories that the nuclear bombs of the United States and the Soviet Union could destroy the world many times over. But in reality, it was the nuclear winter effect. Using nuclear weapons to completely destroy the Earth was a drop in the ocean.
A hydrogen bomb was powerful enough. A 50 megaton hydrogen bomb only needed a dozen tons of heavy hydrogen.
Only 0.015% of the world's seawater was heavy water. Therefore, the amount of heavy hydrogen that could be extracted and decomposed was an astronomical figure. Even if all the seawater on the planet, all the helium-3 on the moon, and all the hydrogen energy on the planets in the solar system were gathered to create a hydrogen bomb, the explosive energy produced was only equivalent to the energy released by the Sun in a few minutes.
Just from this number, one could imagine how desperate it would be.
A sneeze from the Sun was enough to destroy the planet more than a hundred times over.
And 90 years later, the drastic change that the Sun would undergo before its death would create an unprecedented great destruction.
Of course, this matter was still too far away to think about. There was only one goal right now. Defeat and destroy Jiang Li.
"Your Majesty, how many hydrogen bombs of this yield do we need to make?" Grand Secretary Twain asked, "To defeat Jiang Li?"
"Defeat Jiang Li with just hydrogen bombs?" Shen Lang said, "Countless, an astronomical figure."
That's right, countless!
Jiang Li swallowed more than half of the planet's energy in the North Pole. How powerful were the hell crystals there? Immeasurable.
Well, it was still measurable and could be calculated.
Next, Shen Lang and Jiang Li would have a race. Jiang Li would continue to devour the life force of the entire world, while Shen Lang would continue to create hydrogen bombs.
In short, it was a competition to see whose energy grew faster.
However, Shen Lang had calculated that he would never be able to catch up to Jiang Li in this aspect.
Even if he invested more than a hundred thousand people in the production of hydrogen bombs, the gap in energy output would only grow larger and larger.
For example, even if the Da Qian Empire produced ten hydrogen bombs every day, it would still not be able to compare to one-tenth of the life energy that Jiang Li absorbed from the North Pole. The difference was growing with each passing day. Moreover, it was unlikely that the Great Qian Empire could produce ten hydrogen bombs a day.
Moreover, Jiang Li's current energy was more than 10,000 times that of Shen Lang.
This gap was like the difference between heaven and earth, and as time passed, it would only grow larger.
Didn't that mean that Shen Lang would never be able to defeat Jiang Li?
No, it's not like that.
Shen Lang did not need an astronomical number of H-bombs. At most, a hundred would suffice!
He could use these H-bombs to create an energy vacuum in the North Pole for Jiang Li so that he would not be able to absorb any Hell Crystal energy. This time might be very short, but it was more than enough.
In this energy vacuum, Jiang Li and Shen Lang were the same. They could only rely on their own strength to fight.
Otherwise, if Jiang Li used half of the world's energy to fight Shen Lang, he would not die even if they fought for a hundred years.
"Produce a hundred," Shen Lang said.
Grand Scholar Twain said, "A hundred? Just a hundred is enough?"
Shen Lang nodded. "Yes!"
… …
Even if they had enough uranium and heavy hydrogen, it would still take a long time to produce a hundred H-bombs.
However, Shen Lang was no longer pressed for time. The Great Qian Empire and the Jiang Empire were no longer at war. Jiang Li had given Shen Lang enough time. He had made it very clear that when Shen Lang felt that he was strong enough, he would go to the North Pole to fight him.
Of course, during this time, Jiang Li would still be in the North Pole. He would use countless Hell Needles and Hell Crystal channels to absorb the energy of the entire planet.
The longer Shen Lang delayed the battle, the closer the planet would be to death.
Could he defeat Jiang Li with just a hundred H-bombs?
It was far from enough. This was only a prerequisite. The only goal was to create an energy vacuum so that Jiang Li could not control the Hell Crystals around him. He would lose his divine power and stand on the same level as Shen Lang.
Even so, Jiang Li was still far stronger than Shen Lang.
To defeat Jiang Li, Shen Lang still had to rely on his own strength.
How could he do this?
It was very, very difficult. It was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
However, Shen Lang had a huge advantage. It was a dragon!
It was not Ji Long 'er, but Shen Yilong. It could fight with Shen Lang in the North Pole. It could even share its life and strength with Shen Lang.
Therefore, once the 100 H-bombs were used to create an energy vacuum, it would be equivalent to Shen Lang and Shen Yilong fighting with Jiang Li.
This way, they would have a huge advantage.
However, Shen Lang did not dare to be so optimistic. This was because when Shen Yilong's soul was reborn, he realized that the divine fragment of the dragon seemed to have been duplicated once.
Moreover, the Ji family's dragon seemed to be very close to Shen Yilong. It was as if the two dragons had a relationship beyond friendship.
Of course, this was not a free love between the two dragons. At that time, both dragons were controlled by Jiang Li.
Open your mind and boldly imagine what had happened.
Jiang Li had made the two dragons have an intimate relationship so that they could reproduce a new dragon. And this giant dragon combined the advantages of both dragons, surpassing the master.
If Shen Lang's guess was correct, then this new dragon would be in its twenties. Under Jiang Li's nurturing, how strong would it be? It was completely imaginable!
Therefore, even if an energy vacuum was created in the North Pole, and Shen Lang had a dragon, Jiang Li might also have a dragon!
Therefore, Shen Lang had to verify this point. They absolutely could not be careless in this decisive battle!
How could he verify it? Could he directly ask Jiang Li if he had a new dragon, and if it was the offspring of the Ji family and the Jiang family? It had completely inherited the greatest strengths of its parents, and was an unprecedentedly powerful dragon?
If he wanted to say it, Jiang Li would have done so long ago.
… …
Next, the entire Abyssal Crevice became extremely busy. According to Shen Lang's orders, 100 hydrogen bombs were produced in the shortest time possible.
Shen Lang rode Shen Yilong north again. However, this time, he did not return to Raging Tide City. His destination was the Ancient Dragon Pool.
Was he bringing Shen Yilong to devour the Ancient Dragon Pool's radiation?
No, it was just to verify a fact. A fact that he did not want to happen, but was basically a foregone conclusion.
Once again, they headed north! They flew past the Frozen Sea and the Great Yan Empire.
The Ancient Dragon Pool was located on Jade Capital Mountain. It was once the boundary of White Jade Capital's power.
More than 30 years ago, Shen Lang had allowed a dragon to complete its first Nirvana in the Ancient Dragon Pool, which was polluted by radiation. It completed its enlightenment as a mid-tier dragon.
At that time, how much energy did the Jiang family dragon devour from the Ancient Dragon Pool? One percent? One thousandth? That was about it.
In any case, most of the Ancient Dragon Pool's energy was still there!
Very soon! The towering Jade Capital Mountain appeared before Shen Lang's eyes. It was a mountain over 10,000 meters above sea level.
When Shen Lang saw it for the first time, he thought it was a beautiful snowy mountain. In reality, it was just an illusion. It was not a mountain at all. It was the energy shield of the White Jade Jing's pyramid that covered the ancient Dragon Pool that was emitting shocking radiation.
Moreover, the Ancient Dragon Pool was actually tens of thousands of meters underground.
The last time he saw Jade Capital Mountain, it was a wretched green. The entire sky was dyed green by the radiation, as though it was the end of the world.
Now, it was crystal clear, like a huge glass pyramid. The sky was so blue that it looked like it had been washed.
Shen Lang flew above it. He did not feel any radiation, nor did he see any radiation.
Previously, he could not enter Jade Capital Mountain at all. Now, he could easily pass through it. There was indeed an abyss inside.
Shen Lang rode the dragon and flew toward the bottom of the abyss.
He kept flying, flying, and flying.
He went deep into the Dragon Pool, but it was empty!
The Ancient Dragon Pool was gone. There was not a bit of radiation left. There was not even a bit of Dragon Pool Liquid left. It was completely empty!
Why was it empty? There was only one answer. The entire Ancient Dragon Pool's energy had been swallowed. And that was something that happened more than 20 years ago.
It had been swallowed by Jiang Li's new dragon. It had been swallowed by Shen Yilong's child.
Shen Lang's deduction was correct. Jiang Li had a brand new dragon, a perfect dragon. It had signed a dragon contract as soon as it hatched.
No wonder Jiang Li was so generous and sent two dragons to attack Mojing and the abyss crack. It was because he had a brand new dragon that truly belonged to him. It was an extremely powerful dragon.
Shen Lang said, "Dragon, should I congratulate you? You have a child. "
Shen Yilong fell silent. After a while, it said, "Master, I did not inherit my previous memories. That's great."
Shen Lang understood what it meant. Since it did not inherit its memories, it had no feelings for this unknown child. At the crucial moment, it could still fight, even if it was against its own child.
Shen Lang stroked the dragon's neck and said, "Jiang Li and I are enough to deal with the drama of flesh and blood. Don't let it happen to you."
… …
Shen Lang once again returned to Heaven Manor in Raging Tide City. After staying for a few days, he went to Duke Xuanwu's mansion, which was his original home.
In the next few days, he even stayed in the original courtyard of the Kim family. It was the courtyard where he, Mulan, and Bing'er had lived together.
He lay quietly on his bed and looked at the ceiling.
Bing 'er was imprisoned, and she was sealed in ice. Most of Shen Lang's family and relatives were imprisoned as well.
But what about Mulan?
Where was she? Not long ago, she had sent a message to Mojing and the ruins of the ancient Great Tribulation Temple.
So, she shouldn't be imprisoned. Where was she? Where did she send the message to these two places?
Getting up from his bed, Shen Lang walked aimlessly in the courtyard. It was as if he had an AR screen in front of him. No matter where he looked, scenes from decades ago would appear in his mind.
He was so happy back then!
From the time he married Mulan to the time his identity as Jiang Li's son was exposed, it had been an extremely happy time.
Even if he was busy, he was willing to do it. In order to protect the Kim family, he was willing to kill Su Nan, the crown prince of the State of Yue, and Xue Che.
But after his identity was exposed, everything he did became a responsibility. He had to do it.
The first step was to detonate the hydrogen bomb and create an energy vacuum.
The second step was to fight Jiang Li. I have a dragon, and so does Jiang Li. Jiang Li is far stronger than me.
What should I do? How can I defeat Jiang Li?
Shen Lang racked his brains!
Is there no other way? There is still a way.
In the ancient prison, prisoners 2, 3, and 4 had all guided Shen Lang.
Only the prisoners in the fifth prison did not!
The Chaos Prophet was the true leader of the Zero Organization.
So, he should be the last guide for Shen Lang. But now, Shen Lang had been thinking about whether he was ready to accept this guidance.
This midget Chaos Prophet was Jiang Xie's highest teacher. He was the one who taught Jiang Xie to complete the Advanced Dragon Enlightenment.
Not only that, he was also willing to be turned into a fossil by Jiang Xie. Then, he released the other prisoners in the ancient prison, the Queen of Darkness, the Mother of Dragons, and the Ancient Wisdom King. But he disappeared without a trace.
In the ancient times, he once said that he wanted to complete the Ultimate Dragon Enlightenment, but he didn't have the time.
After being turned into a fossil, he should have unlimited time. Did he succeed in the Ultimate Dragon Enlightenment?
… …
Shen Lang returned to Heaven Manor in Raging Tide City.
"Yao Yao, help me draw a picture." Shen Lang said, "This is a midget called the Chaos Prophet. He is the smartest person in the world and Jiang Xie's ultimate teacher. He can almost predict the future. No one knew where he came from, and no one knew where he had gone. But he seems to have chosen me in the end. This is also the reason why Jiang Li wants to have the final battle with me. Now, draw this Chaos Prophet according to Dad's description. Just follow your intuition. "
Yao Yao thought for a while and then drew a creature on the drawing board.
Shen Lang looked at it for a while. This was the Chaos Prophet in Yao Yao's mind?
It had a tortoise-like head. Its small eyes were filled with infinite wisdom as if it could see through everything. There was no hair on its head, but it had two huge ears. Its head wasn't big, but compared to its smaller body, it seemed especially big.
Under Yao Yao's drawing, the Chaos Prophet wasn't scary at all. Instead, it seemed very kind.
"Thank you, Yao Yao." After looking at it, Shen Lang put the drawing into his sleeve.
… …
Then, Shen Lang left Raging Tide City again and flew to the sea a few hundred miles to the south.
The dragon gently breathed, and all the ice on the surface of the sea melted. Shen Lang rode the dragon and dived into the sea. He opened the entrance and entered the ancient prison!
Finally … he was here again.
When he accidentally found this place, Shen Lang felt that this ancient prison probably hid the ultimate secret of this world.
As expected!
Even though the Jiang Xie in prison number one was fake, prisoners number two, three, four, and five could completely change the fate of the world, just as Shen Lang had expected.
Thirty years had passed, and the ancient prison was still operating normally. All the cell doors were completely closed.
Shen Lang entered cell number one.
It was still Jiang Xie's fossil, but it was fake and a substitute.
It was hard to imagine that this person would actually become the ultimate boss that could destroy the world.
Shen Lang left cell number one and entered cell number two. It was empty. The Queen of Darkness was gone. She should have been imprisoned in the North Pole by Jiang Li and had lost all her power.
He came to the front of cell number three, which originally housed the Ancient Wisdom King.
He didn't know why this cell was so big. Could it be that the Ancient Wisdom King was like Wang Tian, a giant?
Shen Lang and the Ancient Wisdom King should have a very close relationship, but he still didn't know what the Ancient Wisdom King looked like.
Previously, Shen Lang couldn't even open the door to cell number three. Now, he didn't even need to open it and could directly enter.
But Shen Lang didn't do that and still opened the door.
Of course, cell number three was also empty. The Ancient Wisdom King wasn't here either. He had already died and sacrificed his soul to help Shen Lang complete the high-level dragon enlightenment.
Not a single word was left in cell number three. It was also impossible for him to be left behind because he had already turned into a fossil when he was imprisoned.
He left cell number three and came to cell number four.
It was hard to imagine what kind of race the Dragon Matriarch was in such a huge prison cell. A normal human wouldn't need such a big cell, right?
Just like the Ancient Wisdom King, Shen Lang also didn't know what the Dragon Mother looked like. She had also been sacrificed.
The door to cell number four was also empty. Not a single word was left behind.
Shen Lang's only hope was cell number five.
This was the smallest cell, only a few square meters in size. It was also very short, like a kennel.
Shen Lang took a deep breath and placed his palm on the door of cell number five. This was the ultimate prisoner of this world.
As Shen Lang's palm pressed on the door, an energy whirlpool appeared on the door of cell number five.
Prophet of Chaos, what will you leave behind for me?
Shen Lang passed through the energy whirlpool and entered cell number five.
It was such a small cell. Shen Lang couldn't even stand straight and had to bend his back.
However … cell number five was still empty. The Prophet of Chaos wasn't here either. Even the fossil statue was gone.
So, did he leave behind any important words? Did he leave any clues? Even a single word would be good.
In the end, Shen Lang searched the entire cell number five and found nothing.
Shen Lang even dissected the walls, floor, and ceiling of Cell 5, but he still did not obtain any valuable information.
How could this be? Did Jiang Li sweep this place?
Very likely!
But if the Prophet of Chaos wanted to leave any clues, he would definitely be able to. Even after Jiang Li's sweep, he would still find a way to leave some clues.
But now, there was nothing in cell number five. Was this normal?
No, definitely not normal.
The Prophet of Chaos must have left something behind, but Shen Lang neglected it.
Shen Lang closed his eyes and sat cross-legged in cell number five. He entered a meditative state. To be precise, he entered a state of emptiness. He didn't think about anything.
Time passed by slowly.
Two hours passed. Six hours passed. A day passed.
If I'm the Prophet of Chaos, why would I leave a message for Shen Lang in these cells?
It was totally conceivable that Jiang Li would sweep this place and not let go of any clues.
So, what should a wise man do? How could he hide his clues from Jiang Li's search?
Suddenly, Shen Lang's eyes lit up. He got it!
He boldly guessed that if the Prophet of Chaos had left any clues, it would not be left in cell number five, but in cell number one, which was the fossil statue of Jiang Xie.
There was a truth. How could one hide the most important thing? The only answer was to hide it in the most obvious place.
And the fossil of Jiang Xie in cell number one was the most obvious, and it was also the one that Jiang Li was most familiar with.
Shen Lang left cell number five and returned to cell number one.
The fossil statue of Jiang Xie was still sitting there quietly, not moving an inch.
Shen Lang carefully observed his body, his face, and his eyes.
He didn't find any clues.
Shen Lang continued!
Then, he discovered that the eyes of Jiang Xie's substitute were filled with infinite guilt and pain. But all of this was hidden under the calmness.
A thought suddenly appeared in Shen Lang's mind.
This … this fossil statue, is it really Jiang Xie's substitute?
Is it possible that it is the real Jiang Xie's body?
Shen Lang had always been misled by his own thinking. When he first discovered cell number one, he did not suspect Jiang Xie's identity at all.
But when he discovered Jiang Xie and Jiang Li's true faces, he immediately concluded that he was a substitute.
After the Great Destruction of the Ancient Era, Jiang Xie and hundreds of thousands of ancient human souls left this planet on a spaceship under the protection of the hell crystal. But the spaceship had limited energy, so it could only rotate near the planet. At that time, Jiang Xie's soul left, not his body.
More importantly, with the hell crystal, Jiang Xie could abandon his original body and create a perfect energy body for himself.
No, this was not the most important thing.
There was only one important piece of information. Shen Lang asked him if he should call him Jiang Xie or Jiang Li. The other party said that he should call him Jiang Li.
At that time, Shen Lang was slightly puzzled. His soul was clearly Jiang Xie's, but he had only taken over Jiang Li's body. Why did he call himself Jiang Li? Was it just because he wanted to be Shen Lang's father?
Also, was Jiang Li's near-perfect coldness and emotionlessness natural?
No, no, no!
No, Jiang Li just cut off his own emotions.
How familiar was this scene?
Not long ago, Shen Lang had completed the Advanced Dragon Enlightenment. He had spent countless years in the Well of Souls, experiencing death again and again, erasing hundreds of millions of emotions.
So when everything ended and Shen Lang returned to reality, he was also cold and emotionless, like another Jiang Li.
However, Queen Medusa turned him into a fossil, so Shen Lang's fossil body retained the warmth of his emotions. When Shen Lang's soul and fossil body merged into one, all his emotions returned.
Yes, this scene was so similar!
However, Jiang Xie did not choose to return. Instead, he remained cold and emotionless to the end. His soul did not return to his body.
So this near-perfect and powerful Jiang Li was created.
All the pain, all the guilt, was left in this body.
Was that so? Was that right?
Yes, that should be the case!
Jiang Xie was not born cold-blooded. His love for Empress Medusa was equally sincere, so when he turned Empress Medusa into a fossil, he should have felt heartache like a knife was being twisted.
Many people sacrificed their souls and lives. In order to save the world, Jiang Li also sacrificed all his emotions and warmth.
So, this body was Jiang Li's only weakness? If that was the case, why did Jiang Li not destroy it?
No, he could not destroy it!
Jiang Li had said that love, hate, and even fear were all low-level emotions. He wanted to completely get rid of them.
If he destroyed his body, it meant that he was afraid. That meant that he had not gotten rid of his low-level emotions.
So, he kept his body in cell number one.
This person was really amazing. Although he was heartless to others, he was even more heartless to himself.
Next, Shen Lang had to make a judgment. Was this body Jiang Li's only weakness?
Was it the key to defeating and destroying Jiang Li?
Also, did the Chaos Prophet leave any clues behind?
If he did, where would it be?
Shen Lang went into deep thought again. Soon, his eyes lit up.
If the Chaos Prophet had predicted everything, then the clue might not have been left behind after he turned into a fossil. Instead, it was left behind when Jiang Xie was in the Advanced Dragon Enlightenment. Could it be inside Jiang Xie's body?
If the Chaos Prophet wanted to leave any information, Jiang Xie's body should be the safest. This was because Jiang Li would never enter this body. In order to defeat himself, he would not destroy this body. He would not even hide it.
So, how should Shen Lang search for the clues left behind by the Chaos Prophet?
How should he find the key to defeating Jiang Li?
He tried to enter the brain of the fossil body, but it was like granite. He could not enter the brain.
If Shen Lang's guess was correct, he might need to restore this fossil into a body of flesh and blood.
This would have been impossible for Shen Lang in the past, but now that he had completed the Advanced Dragon Comprehension and grasped the Gaze of God, it was a piece of cake for him.
A few moments later!
Jiang Xie's body was restored inch by inch. It turned from a fossil into a body of flesh and blood.
Instantly, his expression became more vivid, and his eyes became deeper.
At that time, when Shen Lang saw this gaze and expression, he couldn't really understand it. But now, he really understood.
This was the expression of a man who was in extreme pain and guilt. However, this was a completely empty body, so anyone could possess it, right?
Shen Lang looked into the eyes of Jiang Xie's body and injected his soul into his brain.
Boom!
In an instant, Shen Lang seemed to have found the key to defeating Jiang Li!
