The Supreme Martial Expert of the Female CEO

"Back then, our God race only managed to create two War God Puppets with Azure Sky Realm strength!" The Crystal Skull said with a trace of regret.

Ling Feng looked at the Stone Gate, rubbed his chin, and said, "Crystal Skull, you sealed the Mechanical Core behind the Stone Gate, preparing for the God race to rise again, right? I think, as the Sacred Relic of the God race, you surely know how to open the Stone Gate, don't you?"

The Crystal Skull was taken aback: "You want to open the Stone Gate and obtain our God race's Mechanical Core?"

Ling Feng smiled slyly and said, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"That's impossible!" The Crystal Skull flatly refused: "The Mechanical Core is one of our Atlantis Divine Race's core secrets, we cannot let anyone else have it! Ling Feng, you should give up this idea!"

Ling Feng chuckled softly, then shook his head: "Now your God race is waning, almost on the brink of extinction, yet you're still clinging to such outdated ideas. Don't you know the saying 'when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact'?"

The Crystal Skull shook its head: "No way, no matter what you say, I won't tell you how to open the Stone Gate!"

Ling Feng mildly raised his eyebrows. From the tone of the Crystal Skull, he could see the importance of this Mechanical Core was beyond his expectations.

"You also mentioned that creating War God Puppets with Azure Sky Realm strength using the Mechanical Core is nearly impractical, it's like slaying a dragon, yet you still hold onto it, for what purpose?" Ling Feng said, "Now that your God race is waning, how long do you think it would take to restore the God race's glory? And amidst the invasion of different races, do you think your God race has much chance of restoring its glory?"

Hearing Ling Feng's words, the Crystal Skull fell silent. Ling Feng's points were well-known, but... the Mechanical Core is the most important to the God race, imbued with the efforts of countless predecessors!

"Of course, you could choose to collaborate with us!" Ling Feng suggested: "Whether it's restoring the God race's glory or resisting the invasion of different races, it's not something that your few God race members can accomplish! How about working with us to jointly resist the different races?"

"Cooperate with you?" The Crystal Skull stared at Ling Feng, lost in thought.

Ling Feng said calmly, "Yes, cooperate with us! I can promise you, once we've repelled the different races, the Mechanical Core will be returned to you. But if we can't even fend off the different races, what use is the Mechanical Core to you holding onto it? Besides... I don't think the different races would be any gentler!"

The Crystal Skull sighed and said, "I knew it, once you found out, you would definitely want a share! Indeed, I also understand the saying 'a man of virtue is guilty of treasuring a jade', but the Mechanical Core really is..."

Ling Feng frowned slightly, he had a feeling that the Mechanical Core was incredibly important to him. Moreover, if he could utilize the Mechanical Core well, it could significantly impact future events! That's why he was so insistent on obtaining the Mechanical Core.

"Don't forget, I still have to help your God race lift the seal, is this the sincerity your God race shows for collaboration?"

The Crystal Skull replied dismissively, "You think I don't know this was something agreed upon between you and Alpha beforehand?"

Ling Feng smiled, "It seems you know quite a bit, but perhaps you've forgotten something, I'm not someone who can be bound by a piece of paper! If you don't open the Stone Gate, I might have to reconsider whether I should fulfill my promise to Alpha!"

The Crystal Skull was stunned: "Ling Feng, you're truly shameless!"

"You're too kind!" Ling Feng smiled slightly.

After thinking for a long time, the Crystal Skull ultimately compromised with Ling Feng! Maybe, on one hand, Ling Feng's words made sense; if Earth became a colony of the different races, the God race's Mechanical Core would naturally lose its place! On the other hand, while the Mechanical Core is precious, lifting the seal is more important for the current God race.

"Alright, I admit defeat!" The Crystal Skull said irritably: "To open the Stone Gate, we need the unique power of our God race!"

Saying this, the Crystal Skull emitted a deep blue energy containing extremely powerful Divine Soul Power!

"Indeed, the Atlantis Continent's Divine Clan's two cores, the Mechanical Core and Divine Soul Power!" Xuanyuan Xia whispered into Ling Feng's ear: "Ling Feng, be careful, this Crystal Skull... is not as simple as it seems, I think it's definitely more than just the God race Sacred Relic!"

Ling Feng kept his composure and said, "Senior sister, don't worry, I'm aware!"

On the other side, the deep blue Divine Soul Power from the Crystal Skull imprinted onto the Stone Gate, which emitted a white light that quickly expanded, enveloping both Ling Feng and Xuanyuan Xia.

After the white light passed, Ling Feng was surprised to find himself in a mysterious space, with a massive stone platform below, intricately engraved with a bizarre and complex Formation.

"This is the interior of the Stone Gate!" The Crystal Skull looked at a place shrouded in white fog in the distance, with a tone of longing: "There lies our God race's most secretive Mechanical Core... I'm entrusting the Mechanical Core to you, hoping you can bring out its proper use!"

Ling Feng slowly walked towards the white fog. As he stood before the fog, he felt a little distracted, as if he heard a voice calling to him from within, eager to come out.

Ling Feng involuntarily reached out, putting his hand into the fog.

Immediately, Ling Feng felt as if a needle pricked his finger, and an immense consciousness flooded into his mind.

The Crystal Skull watched Ling Feng's current state, flashing with light inside its head, seemingly just as excited.

Ling Feng gritted his teeth, feeling as though something had burrowed into his mind, wanting to pull his hand back, but finding his entire body unable to move, he could only accept it passively.

Xuanyuan Xia noticed something was wrong with Ling Feng's expression and turned to the Crystal Skull, sharply demanding: "What's happening? Tell me, is this part of your design?"

The Crystal Skull chuckled: "You can't blame everything on me! I already said, the Mechanical Core is a secret of our God race, not intended for you. Now that you've insisted, I've got no choice but to open the Stone Gate! What happens now isn't all my fault!"
