This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 344: The Past of Talos, the Eternal Eye
Li Ming took it and looked at it carefully, and found that these three pieces were dimensional crystals, and there were no divine crystals.

It may take an S-level dimensional life form to produce a divine crystal. This time, I can find a chance to verify my guess and see if ten parts of divine energy can be synthesized into a higher-level energy to release an S-level controlled object.

Seeing the crystal in Li Ming's hand, Lauren and the other two breathed visibly faster.

Li Ming put away the two pieces, held one in his hand, flicked it casually, and it drew a beautiful red arc and fell on the table. He smiled and said:

"In the next period of time, I may need to requisition a few of your spaceships. This will be your reward."

The dimensional crystals of A-level life forms are extremely precious, highly versatile, and have extraordinary research value.

Rafe's throat rolled, Gary couldn't help rubbing his hands, only Lauren's face changed slightly, and he whispered:

"Sir, we are the in-house research explorers of the Dimension Research Department of the Yongyao Federation. We have an exploration mission coming up. We can send you to the nearest secret castle."

"As long as they spend a little money, they will definitely be willing to send you to the central world..."

Li Ming still smiled and said, "Our destination is not the central world, so I can only trouble you all."

Although he was speaking with a smile, everyone could hear that there was an unquestionable majesty in Li Ming's tone.

If you refuse again, who knows what will happen.

"No, no problem..." Gary said hurriedly, "You can use it at will, at will..."

As he said this, he carefully picked up the dimensional crystal on the table, which attracted Lauren's angry look.

Li Ming walked to the screen. The system had long been taken over by Suzaku. He called up the navigation log and tried to locate the dimensional coordinates of the target point.

"Hmm...it doesn't seem too far..." Li Ming took a look and realized that they were thrown out of the space channel during the transmission and were already on their way to the destination.

Then he carefully flipped through it again, entered all the navigation coordinates that Laurent and his companions had taken into the dimensional landmarks, expanded the coordinate database, and then said meaningfully: "Research explorer?"

Lauren's heart tightened a little. They were certainly not official staff of the Yongyao Federation, or rather, she was no longer one.

She had just said that just to add a little hope to her own survival, but now that it had been exposed, her breathing became rapid.

But the other party didn't seem to delve into it further.

She saw Li Ming setting up coordinates on the screen. It was a blank area that was not within the dimensional coordinate range they knew.

He could not help but remind him, "Sir, it is very dangerous for us to rashly explore the unknown dimensional world. We are just an ordinary shuttle ship, and there are only two dimensional probes left."

The probe can pass through dimensional barriers, collect data within a small range and return it, which can greatly reduce the danger of exploring the unknown world.

"It's okay." Li Ming said lightly, switched the control object [Dimension Boundary Marker], and activated the [Exploration] ability.

In an instant, his eyes became blurred and his vision became detached, as if he saw a bizarre world.

"…A dimensional world formed by the gathering of water elements. The main creatures are A-level, and there are several extremely weak explorers active…"

"The four nearby are all elemental realms, and they are basically A-level dimensional worlds..." Relevant information emerged in Li Ming's mind. After comparing it with the brief description of the dimensional world, he came to a rough conclusion.

He then input the direction, telling Suzaku which way to shuttle, and the shuttle's engine roared, lighting up with a milky white glow.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, there was still no shuttle. Robin was getting impatient and asked, "Why is it taking so long?"

"The shuttle engine of this spaceship is very old and outdated, so we need to wait..." Gary explained hurriedly.

"Okay..." Robin shook his head. The shuttle that Austin prepared for them was more advanced and would only take a few minutes, but it was a pity that it had turned into rubbish.

Recalling what happened before, he couldn't help but feel horrified and couldn't help asking Li Ming: "What on earth is that golden energy?"

"Why didn't Sir Austin remind me when I was traveling through time?"

Robin was still frightened. Li Ming couldn't explain and could only shake his head.

The danger of that dimensional world and its main creatures is absolutely beyond imagination. The first moment he stepped into the dimensional world, he was discovered by the other party, and he could even control the golden energy to invade the space channel.

I don't know why, but the Heart of Talos seems to be naturally unaffected by those energies.

He shook his head and asked Robin: "Don't you know anything about it? Maybe you've seen it somewhere, but just forgot it. Think about it carefully..."

Robin was confused and was about to speak when the butler's voice suddenly sounded in his mind, "Tell him that it should be Chlonoa."

Robin was stunned for a moment, and swallowed what he wanted to say. He scratched his head, looking embarrassed, and couldn't help but say: "I seem to remember that I did see relevant clues somewhere. It was Klonoa..."

"Clonoa?" Li Ming's eyes narrowed slightly. This skull really knew the answer.

Robin's eyes were dazed, and he spoke one sentence after another: "Klonoa is the main creature in a deep dimensional world. That dimensional world is composed of pure liquid golden energy, with high temperature, high pressure, high corrosion, high destructive properties..."

"It looks like a huge vertical pupil?" Li Ming confirmed.

"Yes." Robin nodded, muttering to himself, didn't he just say he knew nothing?

"Liquid golden energy? Huge vertical pupils." Lauren, who had been eavesdropping on their conversation, looked slightly surprised. "Are you talking about the Eye of Eternity?"

"You were actually attacked by the Eye of Eternity?" After being surprised, she shook her head again: "This is impossible..."

"You know that too?" Li Ming couldn't help but look over. Lauren frowned and said, "The Eye of Eternity is a forbidden dimensional creature. In the main universe, there are the Eye of the Prophet, the Eye of the Great, and the Holy Eye that sees through all things..."

"Even in the Sea of ​​Stars, there are many sects that worship it. In the Yongyao Federation's risk assessment, its risk level is at an unknown level..."

"But it is in the deep dimensional world and has not been active for a long time. How could it attack you?"

Forbidden creature…unknown danger…every adjective sounds bad.

Li Ming even had the urge to leave the dimensional world as soon as possible. It was not a good thing to be targeted by such a big guy.

"You seem to know a lot about the dimensional world." Robin said in surprise, looking Lauren up and down.

"When I said it was from the research department of Yongyao Federation, I wasn't talking nonsense." Lauren shook his head.

Li Ming suppressed his emotions and continued to ask: "Then do you know Talos?"

"Talos?" Laurent pondered, then shook his head, "I've never heard of it."

Li Ming frowned. Every place has its own cultural characteristics and the names may be different.

Robin's expression changed, and he couldn't help but say, "Taros was the main creature of the dimensional world before Chronoa. He stole the position of the main creature of Taros's dimensional world." Li Ming looked over suddenly, Lauren was surprised, and then shook his head: "The main creature of the dimensional world is nurtured by the dimensional world. After the main creature dies, the dimensional world will breed a new main creature, but I have never heard of it being stolen."

Robin did not answer, but just spoke out word by word as if retelling, "In order to pursue the ultimate path of evolution, Talos used a special method to reverse the rules of the universe and attempted to transform from an energy life form into a flesh and blood life form."

"Something went wrong during the process, and he was killed by Klonoa, who stole his location. He has been eroding the dimensional world and cannot leave easily."

Lauren was stunned. This was beyond her understanding.

Reversing the rules of the universe? Changing from energy life to flesh and blood life?
The other two looked even more bewildered.

Li Ming's eyes flickered, and he finally understood that the main creatures in the dimension were actually the children of the world and enjoyed many benefits.

When it was first born, it almost reached the carrying capacity limit of the dimensional world.

This was the case with the Magma King before, but many "Sons of the World" don't think so much. Even if their life level is high, their wisdom is not that high.

But this Talos seemed to think more deeply. The dimensional world had shackled his upper limit, and his form of existence prevented him from going any further, so he went against the will of heaven.

As a result, his position as the Son of the World was stolen.

Li Ming's eyes were dim. Talos couldn't be said to have completely failed, at least the heart transformation was successful.

No wonder those golden energies can’t hurt me. It’s like I’m using Taros’s account and have the identity of “Son of the Previous World”.

Li Ming roughly figured out the whole story, but he was not happy at all. This information further proved that Klonoa had to kill him.

The only good news is that Klonoa cannot leave easily, and his dimensional power cannot cause any harm to him.

The abnormal situation Li Ming encountered when he first controlled the Heart of Talos made him realize that this thing must be hiding a secret, but he never expected that the secret would be like this.

Robin said just this, and he still felt a little guilty after saying this, fearing that Li Ming would ask him about the source of this information.

But Li Ming was just thinking, if Kronos could steal the position of the Lord of the World of Taros, could he steal it back?

He felt that it was likely possible, but he would have to face Kronos directly. Although the dimensional power seemed unable to cause any harm to him now, the idea was still a bit shocking.

Shaking his head, while everyone was chatting, the shuttle engine finally started up, ripples appeared in the void, as if the spaceship was submerged in a pool of stagnant water, and the entire spaceship disappeared.

.........

In the central world, the sky here seems to reflect the starry sky. The stars are everywhere, seeming to be close at hand, yet out of reach. The buildings on the ground are endless.

It was clearly divided by several giants such as the Xingyuan Empire. Only a small part of the central area belonged to the no-man's land.

The central part of the tree supports a trunk that seems to be a barrier that goes from heaven to earth. The treetops almost cover the sky, giving people endless shock.

At regular intervals, the tree trunks were surrounded by silvery-white metal mechanical rings, and the thick metal thorns were deeply clamped into the branches, as if extracting or injecting something.

Looking closely, the tree trunk has lost its curvature and turned into a brown wall with a slightly metallic texture.

The black earth was like the surface of water, with layers of silvery-white ripples constantly spreading outward with the tree trunk as the center. The movement of each living thing would stir up new ripples that collided with each other.

If you observe carefully, you will find that these silver-white ripples are composed entirely of difficult-to-understand arcane texts and symbols.

As they spread, they constantly changed and combined into various spells containing mysteries, which looked extremely mysterious.

Aircrafts in the sky kept shuttling back and forth, while on the ground all kinds of life forms were jostling for position and moving in a hurry, their various dialects mixed with sporadic interstellar common languages.

Silently, the starry sky outside the central tree canopy suddenly began to ripple, but no one noticed at first.

But as the tiny ripples gradually spread into surging waves, the living creatures on the ground all looked up and looked at them in astonishment.

The research institute set up here discovered the abnormality at the first time and activated various observation equipment.

Soon, the sky cracked open, revealing dense black fissures, as if something had penetrated the barrier of the world and was about to emerge.

All the living beings on the ground who looked up were surprised. This central world was built by many parties together, so its strength was naturally needless to say.

"What penetrated... Holy shit!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden cry of surprise, and everyone looked on in amazement as a giant mechanical leg, as thick as a mountain and nearly ten thousand meters in diameter, stretched out.

"Platinum color? It's the Dominating Holy Elephant, the Divine Hammer Forger!" Someone looked at him fanatically. The news of the Divine Hammer Forger was widely spread, and many people came here for this reason.

But I didn’t expect to see the Holy Elephant of Domination so soon.

"It's actually true..." a living being murmured, with five eyes glowing green, "The inheritance of the hammersmith..."

The place was in an uproar, and everyone picked up their smart devices to record this scene.

However, at this moment, a thick black beam of light shot out from the far end of the central world, and in an instant it crossed a very long distance, pierced through the void, and headed straight for the Dominating Holy Elephant.

Many life forms felt their hearts pounding and couldn't help but tremble all over. Even the more advanced evolved beings felt their scalps tingling and felt a chill.

boom! !

The black beam of light shot directly at the Holy Elephant of Domination, creating ripples like water waves. The space was distorted as a result, and the space stabilization device hidden deep inside could be vaguely seen.

"Who is attacking the Holy Elephant?" Everyone was stunned and looked at each other in shock.

"Playing tricks!" The voice resounded through the sky. A ray of light came from afar, but people could not see it clearly. They could only see a halo and a burning black flame.

boom!
There was another loud bang as the two collided, and every burst of sparks looked like a little sun.

All living creatures were dumbfounded. The black light wheel actually passed through the giant mechanical leg and split it in half.

"Gaint!"

Someone recognized his identity, the guardian of the Xingyuan Empire here, the Flame of Eternal Night - Gaint.

He was wearing pitch-black combat armor with sharp edges and corners, and his cape was fluttering and dotted with red flame patterns. A metal halo surrounded by black flames slowly hung behind his head.

With a cold expression, he looked at the giant mechanical leg that he had split open, which was gradually melting like ice and snow. Seeing this, he couldn't help but sneer, and his mental waves swept over: "This is the so-called command of the holy elephant. It's clear that someone is behind this."

"The Hammersmith is a good friend of the Empire. We will never allow anyone to create chaos in his name!"
