The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Chapter 544: Trading in Another World, Hidden Dangers

In the core area of the Hongmeng Universe, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were suspended in the void, facing a giant warship from another dimension that exuded the light of foreign technology. The metallic luster on the surface of the warship shone with a cold and mysterious aura under the glimmer of the universe, and the runes on it seemed to be telling the unique technological civilization of the other dimension. The hatch of the warship opened, and several alien creatures of various shapes came out one after another. The leader was a tall humanoid race covered with azure scales. His eyes were like the deep starry sky, revealing wisdom and eagerness.

"Respected Lord of Creation of the Hongmeng Universe, we have heard that your universe is full of spiritual energy that can nourish all things and give birth to endless vitality, but our home is on the verge of exhaustion. We beg you to grant us the method to cultivate spiritual energy and save our world." The leader of the Scale Clan spoke earnestly, and his voice was transmitted through the fluctuations of spiritual power with a barely perceptible tremor. It was obvious that they had gone through many hardships for this request for help.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen looked at each other, and both saw pity in each other's eyes. Yun Yao nodded slightly, and said, "You must have gone through hardships after coming from afar. The matter of spiritual essence is related to the growth of all things. We can't bear to see the suffering of all living things, and we are willing to share the method of cultivation with you." Her voice was soft but revealed an unquestionable majesty, which echoed in the universe.

Chu Mochen frowned slightly, his eyes swept back and forth over the alien visitor. Although he felt his words were sincere, his years of fighting against the remnants of the Chaos Devil had made him cautious and suspicious. When Yun Yao expressed his opinion, he quietly mobilized the power of chaos in his body, and sent out a trace of perception like a thread, trying to explore the details of these alien creatures.

The two sides quickly entered into the details of the exchange. Yun Yao relied on the vast amount of knowledge stored in the system and combined it with the spiritual characteristics of the Hongmeng Universe to begin explaining the basic points of spiritual cultivation. She waved her jade hand, and spiritual power turned into a simulation diagram of the operation of spiritual energy, which slowly unfolded in the void. Every spiritual power trajectory and every spiritual energy gathering node were clearly presented, which amazed the visitors from other worlds.

“The key to the growth of this spiritual essence is to find the source of the spiritual vein where spiritual energy gathers, and to guide it with a special formation to release the power of spiritual essence stably. It is like digging a spring in a barren land and guiding the underground spiritual flow…” Yun Yao explained patiently with a focused look in her eyes.

The people in the other dimension were not to be outdone. They turned on the holographic projection device on the battleship and displayed a series of dazzling space-time scientific knowledge. Complex space-time coordinate calculation formulas, strange energy compression and transition models emerged one by one, and some of the theories involved in space folding and time flow control made Yun Yao and Chu Mochen look sideways.

During the communication, Chu Mochen never relaxed his vigilance. While pretending to focus on learning scientific knowledge, he secretly explored the energy source behind the alien technology. Gradually, his face became solemn, and his eyebrows were tightly knitted into the shape of a "chuan". With his keen perception of the power of chaos, he realized that some parts of these technological principles actually had a subtle resonance with the remnant of the Chaos Demon God.

To further confirm, Chu Mochen quietly approached the alien scholar who was explaining the space-time technology, and quietly released a wisp of chaos power, causing it to lightly touch the energy emitted by the technological equipment. In an instant, the chaos power seemed to be pulled by something, and it vibrated slightly, and a faint demonic aura escaped, although it was extremely weak, it could not escape Chu Mochen's perception.

He was startled and immediately sent a message to Yun Yao: "Yao'er, things are not good. These alien technologies seem to be related to the power of the Chaos Demon God. Although they seem to have no ill intentions at the moment, if this technology is used by people with ill intentions, it may bring disaster to the universe again."

Yun Yao's beautiful eyes flashed with panic when she heard this, but she regained her composure in an instant. She nodded slightly without making any expression, indicating that she understood. At the same time, she sped up her explanation of the spiritual essence cultivation technique, but in her mind she was quickly thinking of a countermeasure.

After the initial communication came to an end, Yun Yao smiled and said to the visitors from another world: "Everyone, the method of cultivating spiritual essence is complex and subtle, and it will take a long time to master it. We are willing to provide detailed information to help you save your homeland. However, this technology is related to the foundation of the Hongmeng universe. To prevent accidents, I need to set up a 'Hongmeng Spirit Lock'."

As she spoke, Yun Yao turned her palms, and a soft Hongmeng force slowly condensed, with complex runes flashing in it. This spirit lock was created by her by combining the Hongmeng rules and the power of the system. It can not only ensure the effective implementation of the spirit cultivation technology in the different planes, but also prevent the core of the technology from being maliciously tampered with. Once someone tries to crack it, the spirit lock will trigger an alarm and automatically block key information, making the technology ineffective.

The visitors from the other world were a little hesitant when they heard this, but they finally nodded in agreement because of the importance of what they were asking for. Seeing this, Yun Yao waved her jade hand and sent out the technical data with the spirit lock. The data turned into a stream of light and sank into the core database of the warship from the other world.

After making the arrangements, Yun Yao spoke again: "To ensure the smooth use of the technology, I will also need to send several Eldar elites to the other plane. They are proficient in the way of spiritual essence and can provide assistance at any time, which will also make it easier for us to understand the subsequent developments."

The leader of the other world thought for a moment and realized that this was Yun Yao's reasonable request, so he agreed. Yun Yao immediately selected several outstanding spirits, all of whom were skilled in controlling spiritual essence and had strong minds. She privately told these spirit children to pay close attention to every move of the other plane and report immediately if there was anything unusual.

As the alien warship was about to depart, Chu Mochen approached Yun Yao again and whispered, "Yao'er, this alien transaction is full of hidden dangers. I always feel that there is a bigger conspiracy behind it, and we need to be prepared early. After they leave, we must immediately strengthen the defense of the Hongmeng Universe, and at the same time let the system search for all clues related to the Chaos Demon God."

Yun Yao nodded solemnly: "Chen Lang, I understand. I hope this is just a false alarm. If something unexpected happens, we must protect this universe."

As the warship's engine started, the light shone, and it slowly sailed towards the space-time crack, ready to travel back to the other dimension. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen stood there, watching the warship go away, their eyes full of worry and vigilance. When the warship completely disappeared from their sight, the two immediately took action.

Yun Yao activated the system's deep scanning function, expanding the search range to the entire Hongmeng Universe, leaving no corner that might hide the Chaos Devil's aura. The system's light screen unfolded in front of her, and countless data information streams flashed rapidly, like stars across the night sky. She stared at the light screen intently, trying to find key clues from the massive amount of information.

Chu Mochen mobilized the power of chaos from all over the universe and began to strengthen the border defense of the Hongmeng universe. He waved his hands, and chaos runes appeared all over the sky, integrating into the fetal membrane of the universe, making it tougher and thicker. At the same time, he arranged a chaos sealing formation at key nodes. Once there is an invasion of malicious forces from the outside, the formation will automatically trigger, forming layers of obstacles to buy time for the main defense.

In the busyness, time passed quietly. After a few days, Yun Yao monitored the initial action feedback of the spirit elites in the other plane through the system. Everything seemed normal. The people in the other plane were trying according to the method of cultivating spirit essence, and the technical unlocking did not trigger the spirit lock alarm. However, Chu Mochen's uneasiness became stronger and stronger. He always had a premonition that the storm was coming, and under this seemingly calm appearance, there were turbulent waves that could subvert the Hongmeng universe.

He found Yun Yao again and said in a deep voice: "Yao'er, I think we can't just passively defend. I want to go to the Chaos Forbidden Land deep in the universe. The remaining demon aura there is the most intense. Maybe I can find some clues from it and understand the true plot of the alien forces in advance."

Yun Yao showed a worried look on her face: "Chen Lang, the Chaos Forbidden Land is extremely dangerous. How can I be at ease if you go there alone? How about I go with you?"

Chu Mochen shook his head and gently held Yun Yao's hand: "No, the Hongmeng Universe also needs you to guard it at this moment. You are here to coordinate the overall situation, just in case. I will go and come back quickly, and nothing will happen."

Yun Yao hesitated for a second before finally nodding in agreement. She took out a few top-level magic weapons from her storage ring and handed them to Chu Mochen: "Then be careful. These magic weapons may help you at a critical moment. If there is any danger, don't be stubborn and return immediately."

Chu Mochen took the magic weapon, his eyes full of tenderness and determination: "Don't worry, Yao'er. Wait for me to come back." After that, his figure flashed, turned into a stream of light, and rushed towards the chaotic forbidden land deep in the universe.

Yun Yao looked at the direction he left, stood there for a long time, and prayed silently in her heart. Then, she took a deep breath, turned around and devoted herself to the defense reinforcement and intelligence monitoring work of the Hongmeng Universe, preparing to meet the upcoming unknown challenges.

In a distant alien plane, the giant warship slowly landed on a desolate planet. The Eldar elites followed the alien visitors out of the warship and saw cracked earth, dried-up rivers, and the whole planet was filled with a decaying atmosphere. They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, no wonder these alien creatures were so eager to seek the method of cultivating spiritual essence.

Led by the people from the other world, the spirit elites came to a valley where they were going to implement the spirit cultivation technology. Around the valley, huge technological devices stood in a forest, flashing a cold and hard light, which was very different from the spirit array style familiar to the spirits. According to Yun Yao's instructions in advance, the spirit elites began to assist the creatures from the other world to debug the equipment and integrate the spirit cultivation technology with the technological system of the other plane.

At first, everything went smoothly. As the spirit cultivation formation was activated, wisps of spirit energy began to spread in the valley, bringing some life to this dead land. The alien creatures cheered and were grateful to the spirit elites.

However, just as everyone was immersed in joy, an Eldar elite accidentally noticed that in an abandoned building deep in the valley, there was a subtle energy fluctuation quietly emanating. This fluctuation was very similar to the aura of the Chaos Devil's remnant, but it was deliberately concealed and difficult to detect without careful perception.

He was startled and quietly approached the building, while secretly sending a message to his fellow Eldar: "Everyone be careful, there is something unusual here, it may be related to the Chaos Devil, do not alert the enemy."

The other Eldar disciples heard this and quietly became alert, but on the surface they pretended nothing had happened and continued with their work. The Eldar elite who discovered the abnormality walked into the building cautiously, only to find that the interior was dark and damp, and the walls were covered with strange runes. These runes seemed to be sealing something, but there was also a trace of demonic energy seeping out of them.

Just as he was about to investigate further, suddenly, a black shadow rushed out from the corner at an extremely fast speed and rushed towards him. He reacted quickly and immediately used his magic weapon to resist. In an instant, the light flashed and collided with the black shadow, making a dull sound.

This commotion alarmed everyone outside the valley. The leader of the alien world changed his expression and rushed over. When he saw the scene in front of him, a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, but he regained his composure in an instant. He shouted loudly: "Misunderstanding, this must be a misunderstanding, don't panic!"

However, how could the Eldar elites believe it so easily? They quickly gathered together, their magic weapons shining brightly, surrounding the building, and staring at the people in the other world with vigilant eyes. At this time, the situation was tense, and a crisis hidden in the dark was about to erupt completely in the desolate valley of this other plane. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen, who were far away in the Hongmeng Universe, were still preparing for the coming storm, unaware that the situation in the other world had suddenly changed...
