"As for being so lost because there's no accurate answer to this question, you still have a long road ahead in your life. You'll know what kind of person you are later on!" Shen Feng saw that his son had fallen into a state of confusion and quickly spoke to comfort him. After all, he was still a child and couldn't be too discouraged.
"You don't understand. I've actually been searching for my own identity all along. Because only by knowing my identity can I know what I should do in the future. If a person doesn't even know their own identity, what other work can they accomplish?" Shen Bowen said.
"I don't want to talk about this anymore. Now, quickly tell me the news about the meteorite. Where did those damned Hai Shao hide the meteorite? If you can give me accurate information, I will also give you some reward. You look like an ordinary person now. Don't you want to become an ability user?" Shen Feng no longer wanted to dwell on this matter. A child's thoughts were very complex, and he now just wanted to send the other person away.
"Actually, we don't have accurate news about the meteorite right now!" Shen Bowen said honestly.
"Then are you here specifically to acknowledge your relatives? Actually, the news about the meteorite is just a gimmick, isn't it?" Shen Feng was somewhat disappointed after hearing this answer, and his tone gradually turned cold.
"Father, it's not like that. We already have some clues now, but we haven't found the meteorite's specific whereabouts yet! If you have these clues, with your abilities, you will definitely be able to quickly find the meteorite's location!" Shen Bowen said quickly.
"So you can provide clues. That's fine. I can exchange two ability potions for it. You can also use an ability potion during this time, and then you will become an ability user. It can be considered a small compensation from me!" Shen Feng said.
"Thank you, Father!" Shen Bowen realized that he couldn't get the warmth he desired from his biological father. Although his words of thanks were spoken, they carried no emotion. He understood that this was due to the unequal status between them, and the world-renowned great hero opposite him didn't want his illegitimate son.
"It seems I still haven't found my belonging!" Shen Bowen thought to himself.
Shen Feng then asked, "What kind of clues are they? Tell me quickly, I want to end this doomsday!"
Shen Bowen knew that the meteorite that fell into the sea was incredibly important. Not to mention, the meteorite was wrapped in a large amount of extraterrestrial elements, and inside the meteorite, there might even be machinery manufactured by aliens. This machinery had spanned one hundred million years, condensing the technological achievements of aliens. Now, countless people were pinning their hopes of survival on this meteorite from aliens. Perhaps after obtaining the technological achievements of aliens, they could use existing energy to synthesize food.
Almost everyone on Earth was searching for this meteorite and wanted to possess it.
However, Shen Feng's purpose in searching for the meteorite was different from others. Shen Feng's purpose was never to possess the meteorite, but to launch it. As long as the meteorite was launched into outer space, its impact would not cause mutations in terrestrial organisms. In this way, the doomsday for humans on Earth would end.
And the supporters for such an idea were extremely numerous, because most people also wanted to return to their former lives, and now only Shen Feng had the hope of ending the doomsday.
However, regardless of their purpose, people were still unable to find the meteorite's whereabouts. Two years had passed since the Great Ice Age arrived. During this long period, people had been searching for the meteorite. Icebreaker ships often sailed at sea, and reconnaissance aircraft flew in the sky every day. Even in the deep oceans, they had been thoroughly searched.
It seemed that a once massive meteorite had disappeared. No one knew where the meteorite had gone. Even if they wanted to use electromagnetic waves to search for the meteorite, it was impossible. Moreover, there were ferocious sea beasts at sea. These giant sea beasts were too fierce. As long as they saw human ships on the sea, they would definitely attack.
There were many ability users among humans. If calculated carefully, there were at least five hundred ability users worldwide. However, the ability users among humans were all relatively ordinary. A few geniuses appeared, and they could break through the evolutionary barrier twice, reaching the level of seventh-tier ability users or above.
But the sea beasts at sea were at least at the seventh-tier level, and the ocean was their home ground. When humans encountered sea beasts in the deep sea, they could only fall into despair, because any sea beast was an absolute powerhouse. Upon discovering human ships, these powerful sea beasts would even act in concert.
Shen Feng said, "Tell me the clues quickly. After that, you can stay in Yuzhou for half a month. I need to use this valuable clue to find the meteorite!"
Shen Bowen quickly said, "The reason we have news about the meteorite is not directly obtained through physical phenomena or eyewitness accounts, but through multiple indirect analyses. This conclusion is that the meteorite has now been hidden by the sea beasts!"
Upon hearing this answer, Shen Feng also nodded. He understood this point. After the sea beasts' bodies became gigantic, their brain capacity had expanded, and they could think normally, thus possessing intelligence no less than that of humans.
Humans understood the importance of the meteorite, and so did the sea beasts. This massive meteorite had been taken possession of by the sea beasts, and the sea beasts also understood one thing: the existence of this meteorite was what caused powerful sea beasts to continuously appear in the sea. If the meteorite were snatched away by humans, marine life would have no hope of advancement. Therefore, it was very normal for the sea beasts to hide the meteorite.
"The reason we can find the meteorite's trace is because we discovered the nest of mutated insects. This is a type of spider that lives in the sea. I don't know where this spider came from. The information we obtained is that as long as we follow the ocean currents where the spiders appear, we will definitely find the meteorite's whereabouts," Shen Bowen said seriously.
Upon hearing this answer, Shen Feng felt confused and asked, "What are you talking about now? Why can we find the meteorite just by finding the spiders? There's no connection!"
Shen Feng found it difficult to understand the other party's statement. Why could finding these mutated insects lead to finding the meteorite? There was no connection at all.
Shen Bowen replied, "Before, I heard that Madam Li Keyi in Yuzhou had created an item that could block the meteorite's electromagnetic waves. Is this true?"
Shen Feng nodded and said, "That's right. It's true. This sealed container made of aluminum plates and graphite can avoid the influence of the divine realm's electromagnetic waves."
Then, Shen Bowen continued, "Therefore, humans have the ability to block these electromagnetic waves, and so do the sea beasts. Currently, neither the satellites in the sky nor the sonar operating constantly in the ocean can find the meteorite. Therefore, we cannot use the previous method of detecting the divine realm to find the meteorite, because it is destined to be useless!"
Shen Feng nodded and said, "That makes sense. You can continue."
Shen Bowen then said, "After careful research by our scientists in Kagoshima, they finally confirmed one thing: only by searching for the gathering places of sea beasts can the meteorite truly be found. And because of the change in the Earth's oxygen concentration, sea beasts must find a place with high oxygen concentration, otherwise, they must frequently come to the surface to breathe. Therefore, as long as we search for places with high oxygen concentration, we can roughly find the meteorite!"
But Shen Feng said after hearing this, "Then what does that have to do with spiders?"
"The spider I'm talking about is a water spider. It can weave air sacs by itself and carry oxygen to live in the water. And they have very high requirements for oxygen concentration. Therefore, as long as we find the nest of this water spider, we can definitely find the gathering place of the sea beasts!" Shen Bowen said.
Shen Feng was almost confused by this explanation because the other party's reasoning was obtained after several detours.
However, Shen Feng now understood the other party's meaning. Sea beasts need oxygen, and a large number of sea beasts are hiding in a place rich in oxygen. Mutated insects also need oxygen. Therefore, by following these insects, they can definitely find places rich in oxygen in the sea.
Shen Feng understood this and then excitedly said, "I never thought of this before. It seems that now is the time for me to achieve my goal. The rocket has already begun manufacturing, and next, I only need to find the meteorite! Mere sea beasts cannot stop me from obtaining the meteorite!"
Shen Feng finally received this good news from his son. However, he was very helpless now. This son he had never met was still very outstanding, but he couldn't acknowledge his identity. This was ultimately due to the sins he had committed in the past, and now he had to bear the consequences.
But at this moment, Shen Yu spoke, "You shouldn't be happy too early. Don't forget one thing. Your enemies are not just these sea beasts, but also many humans. Because many people want to possess the meteorite for themselves. If you send this meteorite into space, it will undoubtedly cause dissatisfaction towards you!"
When Shen Feng heard this answer, he also understood that he had overlooked one thing. In his mind, all humans should support his decision. However, upon careful consideration, countless people would become his obstacles.
"Then this matter must be kept secret and not told to others casually. Then we will quietly salvage the meteorite. As long as we find the meteorite's trace, we can obtain it without anyone noticing. In the end, we will launch the meteorite into space, and that will be enough!" Shen Feng said.
Shen Bowen suddenly stood up and said, "Father, since there's nothing else, I'll go back to the guild first. I want to take a good look at the scenery here, as this can be considered my second hometown!"
Shen Feng waved his hand and said, "Don't rush. I'll have my disciple deliver an ability potion right away. Then you can take the ability potion here and become an ability user. For now, I still need to issue a statement to explain your identity!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Bowen finally felt a trace of fatherly warmth. Because he had never seen his father since he was a child, and his experiences from childhood had made him taciturn and unsure of where he belonged. Now, he finally understood what it felt like to be cared for by someone.
"Okay, Father! Then I'll be imposing!" Shen Bowen knelt on the ground and began to kowtow.
Shen Feng quickly said, "Don't kowtow casually now. We'll talk about it later. I can't give you much either! I can't even give you the most basic status, I can only hope that you will achieve great things in the future!"
