As early as when he contacted the Deng family in Northeast China, Deng Yougang had confirmed that there is no comic book "Under One Person" in this world.

Anyone who can say the name "Under One Person" is either a native traveler from another world, or a traveler from the origin world.

Generally speaking, travelers from the source world can be easily recognized because their souls have been contaminated by the gray fog. As long as one has the means to deal with the soul, they can be easily identified.

But Deng Herong in front of him was an exception, because the void gap he passed through during his journey was not the void gap that Lin Zhongtian had found, but the second void gap discovered by the Lord God!

Because of this, Deng Yougang did not recognize Deng Herong's identity at the first time.

Fortunately, the Alliance has another means of identification, which is the tenacity of their souls that far exceeds that of the indigenous people!

Deng Yougang explored the soul of the sick boy and found that his soul was indeed strong enough to withstand the tearing of the gray fog, while the natural strength of the indigenous souls rarely reached this level.

Combined with Deng Herong's self-disclosure of his identity as a time traveler, Deng Yougang was 90% sure that he was a time traveler from the source world!

What an unexpected gain!

Deng Yougang looked at the sick boy with some joy.

No wonder this guy wanted to send his grandfather and sister away. This kind of identity really cannot be told to outsiders.

However, this act of self-destruction is still a bit hasty and needs more practice.

The sickly young man seemed to understand what Deng Yougang meant, and said with a smile, "I am only telling you this because of your status as an ancestor from another world. You don't think of me as a demon from another world who has taken over someone else's body, do you?"

"Let me explain in advance that I have been conscious since my mother's womb. Rather than traveling through time, it is more like reincarnation. I was born with knowledge."

"Of course, even if you really want to vent your anger on me, it doesn't matter. In my current state, it doesn't matter whether I live or die."

Deng Yougang said with interest: "You are quite open-minded!"

The young man smiled and said, "It's just that I have no choice..."

"Okay!" Deng Yougang smiled and stretched out his hand, with a bright blue light blooming from his palm. "Since you trust me so much, I will be serious and help you check this so-called terminal illness!"

As he spoke, the blue light that bloomed from Deng Yougang's palm had already enveloped the boy's entire body.

"Please use your power to let me see where all the disappeared spiritual energy has gone."

"Um."

The young man nodded, closed his eyes and began to practice the Zhou Tian Qigong.

Soon, wisps of spiritual energy or magic power were generated in his dantian, and then flowed along the circulation of the body.

Suddenly, part of the spiritual energy that passed through the Guanyuan, Qihai, Shenque, Mingmen and other acupoints inexplicably disappeared, and the remaining spiritual energy flowed through the acupoints and continued to flow slowly along the eight extraordinary meridians.

Seeing this scene, Deng Yougang's face turned cold. He took out the silver crystal ball without hesitation and used the priority of his authority to block the space.

In an instant, strange spatial fluctuations appeared in the young man's Qi Hai and Shen Que acupoints.

"I got you!"

Deng Yougang sneered, and the blue Qi transformed into a large hand of Qi light, grabbing the boy's Qi Hai and Shen Que acupoints fiercely.

At the same time, the sickly boy let out a scream, grasped the bed sheet tightly with both hands, gritted his teeth, and endured the pain with a flushed face.

Not long after, the blue Qi-filled hand was finally pulled out of his body. In the bright blue palm, there were still two twisting insects.

These insects look similar to silkworms, but their color is silver and their bodies are covered with many intricate and gorgeous patterns.

Deng Yougang held the silver crystal ball in his left hand, and controlled the huge hand of Qi light to fly in front of him, looking at the insect thoughtfully.

At this time, the sick boy was already somewhat exhausted, his clothes and the hospital bed beneath him were all soaked with sweat.

But even so, the strong reluctance he had felt for a long time still forced him to raise his head, and with a forehead full of cold sweat, he weakly said, "Ancestor, can you let me see?"

“…”

Deng Yougang glanced at him, then controlled his Qi-light hand to stretch the insect in front of him.

The boy stared at the bug with wide eyes for a long time before he said unwillingly, "Is this the thing?"

"That's right." Deng Yougang frowned and said softly, "This thing looks like a bug with spatial abilities. It's parasitic on your Qi Hai and Shen Que acupoints, constantly absorbing the spiritual energy in your body, and then transmitting it to its owner remotely."

"Unfortunately, your ancestor is not good enough in terms of space, otherwise, we can follow the space channel and find the real culprit behind the scenes!"

Who is the real culprit behind this?

Delivered to the master?

The young man stared at the bug in a daze and couldn't help asking, "You mean, the spiritual energy exhaustion syndrome is actually man-made?"

"Nonsense!" Deng Yougang said unhappily, "Poison? Haven't you heard of poison?"

"This is what you got hit with, but the means used are more sophisticated."

"Also, if I'm not mistaken, all patients with spiritual energy exhaustion are once budding geniuses, right?"

The young man was a little surprised, and nodded quickly: "Yes, you are absolutely right!"

Deng Yougang said coldly: "Then there's no problem!"

"It seems that someone is taking advantage of you geniuses and using you as cauldrons to assist him in his cultivation."

"However, absorbing all the spiritual energy in the genius' body is too extreme. If it is just for one's own cultivation, one should not exhaust the resources like this. So I suspect that the mastermind behind this also intends to kill the genius."

"He may be an enemy of China or the Cultivation Department, or he may be from another world..."

Deng Yougang was halfway through his analysis when he suddenly noticed that the boy's expression seemed a little off.

He raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "Xiao Rong, is there something you haven't told me yet?"

The young man's expression changed for a while, and finally he smiled bitterly and sighed, "The ancestor's eyes are sharp. I do have a suspect, but that person should have died half a year ago..."

"Who?"

"Do you remember? I got this disease after something happened that year."

Deng Yougang nodded: "Remember, I have been waiting for you to tell me this."

The young man smiled bitterly and said, "That matter should have been a top secret of the Cultivation Department, but since you have already found the root of the problem, I will not hide it from you."

"What happened is that about two weeks after the portal appeared, a mysterious person codenamed 'The Venerable' approached the authorities and reached a deal with them using all kinds of world-leading knowledge and methods."

"After that, the two sides jointly established the Cultivation Department and recruited talents from all over the country to train them to grow."

"My sister and I were selected at this time. Others selected at the same time included geniuses from universities and the military, as well as talented students from major Buddhist and Taoist sects across the country."

"Since then, China has entered the era of cultivation, and we have always been leading the world."

"Until half a year ago, I suddenly received a secret mission. I had to go to the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor with all the top practitioners in the country to explore the secret of the First Qin Emperor's casting of the twelve golden men."

"I thought this was just a simple exploration of ruins. After all, there have been several similar operations before."

At this point, Deng Herong briefly explained: "The fact that the techniques left by our ancestors can be practiced shows that there was also such an era of spiritual revival before us, so the Cultivation Department often organizes people to try to find some lost cultivation knowledge."

Deng Yougang nodded and said, "I know that. Please continue."

Deng Herong said softly: "When I really entered the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, I suddenly got a new mission, and this mission had only one goal, which was to kill the Venerable who had become the number one in the world at that time."

"I was naturally a little shocked by this, but the person who told me this was the captain I trusted the most, so I just followed his orders."

"In that battle, including my sister and I, almost 90% of the members of the Cultivation Department suddenly attacked the Venerable, and only less than 10% of the practitioners chose to help the Venerable and fight against us."

"In the end, we used the Mausoleum of the First Emperor to trap His Holiness, but we also suffered heavy casualties."

"After that, we evacuated the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, but the people above were still worried that the Lord was not really dead, so they dropped several hydrogen bombs at the location of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, completely wiping it off the map."

“…”

Deng Yougang nodded thoughtfully.

Hearing this, he probably had guessed it.

This so-called Venerable One is either the soul of the main god or the agent of the main god!

Considering that the Venerable was actually besieged and killed, the latter possibility is obviously more likely.

After all, with the Lord God's means, China, which has just entered the stage of spiritual energy recovery, is definitely unable to resist.

However, a great agent of the Lord God, who was leading the whole world, still capsized in the gutter. This is really...

Deng Yougang couldn't help but laugh, then glanced at Deng Herong and said, "I understand. Leave this matter to me. You take a good rest first. I have a secret to tell you later."

Having said that, Deng Yougang turned around and walked towards the door.

Just as he put his hand on the door handle, he suddenly seemed to remember something, turned his head and looked at the sick boy and said with a smile: "Oh, by the way, do you want me to help solve the troubles of your girlfriend?"

"...Xiao Wen?" Deng Herong was slightly startled and asked in surprise, "Isn't she an ordinary person? What kind of trouble could she have?"
