The scorching lava baked the body, and as the nightmare delved deeper underground, it felt increasingly unbearable heat.
The high temperature blurred the nightmare's consciousness, but fortunately, the loyalty of the soul puppet to its creator was absolute. Even though the nightmare sometimes had the illusion of "I'm about to die," it still faithfully carried out Wen Yu's orders.
Until the heat dissipated, the nightmare suddenly felt the resistance in front of it vanish, and at the same time, a cool sensation spread across its body. The sudden temperature change made the nightmare feel quite comfortable.
After adapting to the alternating hot and cold, the nightmare finally unleashed its sensing ability. However, the wondrous sights within its perception range left the nightmare breathless—even though it didn't have breathing organs...
In front was a vast underground space, with rugged stalactites hanging down and scattered white lights floating throughout the area, coloring this region as if it were a magnificent fairy tale. At the very center of the space was a huge light orb.
The scattered white lights were emanating from this light orb, which was swirling with billions of light spots. The constantly jumping light spots radiated sparkling energy that quickly flowed past the nightmare.
In a daze, the nightmare felt as if it were facing some colossal, boundless existence, making it feel anxious and nervous for a moment, losing focus.
Until a slight sound of movement broke the silence.
“Boom~~”
It was a low, vibrant sound that resonated continuously.
Watching as the light orb gently leaped, the nightmare immediately snapped back to reality, recalling its mission, and cautiously floated next to the light orb, trying to find its target.
Soon, the nightmare found a palm-sized device that resembled a syringe...
At that moment, the device was inserted above the light orb. Compared to the orb's white glow, this exquisitely black device stood out like a blot of ink on white paper. The nightmare felt momentarily dazed until footsteps behind it brought it back from the frustration of mission failure.
“Master... I didn't catch it...”
...
“I can see.”
A gloomy voice emerged, and a large hand suddenly appeared behind the nightmare, gripping the syringe and pulling it out from the light orb.
The expected resistance did not materialize; it was only a slight touch, and the syringe immediately fell away from the orb. However, the expression on Wen Yu's face was exceptionally grim.
It was empty...
Just as the nightmare sensed the existence of creation energy within the syringe, Wen Yu had already foreseen the dire situation.
Creation energy, as a near-omnipotent force, left Wen Yu with the deepest impression when it came to activating non-living entities—any non-living entity could be endowed with life and transformed into a soul creation as long as there was sufficient creation energy.
So, was the planet itself considered a non-living entity?
Although there existed something like the world will, in Wen Yu's view, it was merely a collective will of all living beings on the planet, similar yet different from Lolo. Wen Yu believed that the planet was lifeless. He even pondered that if he had enough creation energy to activate the Earth and turn it into his soul creation, it would be an incredible feat!
However, the lack of energy limited Wen Yu's actions—activating a planet was, in his eyes, an unrealistic dream. But the insufficiency of energy for Wen Yu did not mean that others lacked it...
After receiving intelligence from the Dark Puppet, the first thing Wen Yu thought of was that the spirit of the demon lord intended to transform Earth's core essence into its soul creation!
Once that happened, Wen Yu couldn't even imagine how the situation would plunge into an abyss!
Clutching the syringe-like device tightly in his hand, Wen Yu stared at the light orb, sensing the vast origin power and familiar, intimate aura contained within. His grip tightened... tighter... until he crushed the syringe!
