This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 364 Last Hope

Except for Robin, everyone watching in the field was confused at first.

There were many non-human races present. In their eyes, humans all looked the same and they could not recognize each other at all.

Most humans were also confused and looked at each other, because Li Ming's appearance was too plain, and he was jogging all the way. He was too down-to-earth, and it felt like he was not on the same level as the others.

"He seems to be... Li Ming?"

"Li Ming? Who is Li Ming? He seems familiar..." The low noise spread quickly.

Countless eyes were focused on him, observing, curious, envious, jealous...

For most people, the name Li Ming is relatively unfamiliar. Most people first heard of it when the Holy Elephant of Domination had just appeared.

Almost a month has passed, and the matter of inheriting the legacy of the Hammer Forger has become more and more intense. All kinds of unheard-of secrets are flying around, and not many people are paying attention to Li Ming.

But after all, it had appeared in the incident, and everyone quickly identified it. Various pieces of information were passed on to each other, and everyone was quite surprised.

"This guy has the potential to develop to level 46, and he is also a student of a forging-star mechanic. He has indeed attracted a lot of attention recently and is considered to have a high chance of inheriting the legacy of the Hammer Forger."

"But, now..." Someone looked up at the high-level geniuses who were being secretly trained in the sky, and couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

Compared with ordinary people, Li Ming's identity is already noble enough, but compared with those people, it seems a little pale in comparison.

Prince Costat's gaze fell on Li Ming below, "He actually dared to show up, what on earth was Qinglong thinking?"

"And..." The prince's eyes were deep, with a hint of surprise in them.

Abel knew all about Li Ming's information and looked him up and down. "He is Li Ming. He doesn't look special. Does Qinglong really think that we won't settle accounts with him if he pushes out the Holy Revolutionary Army?"

The truth about the attack on the Central World Empire Base is well known among the top leaders.

Prince Ryan has taken over the investigation into Qinglong. First his great-grandson died, then his grandson. This prince will definitely not let it go.

However, due to some things, the prince is still on the way.

Abel pondered for a moment, and when he saw that Prince Costat was still silent, he asked again, "And what..."

"He is already an A-level life form." Prince Costat said slowly.

"A-level lifeform?" Abel was shocked and asked in astonishment, "How could it be so fast? How old is he?"

Li Ming has already been an A-level life form, but only a handful of people know about it, and they are all big shots.

Austin, the Holy Mother Church... No one leaked it to the Xingyuan Empire for no reason.

"Could it be that his development potential is more than level 46?" After realizing what was happening, Abel speculated, "This news comes from an advanced civilization in the Corona Borealis ring. Perhaps they made a mistake in their detection."

Prince Costat remained silent, and Abel asked cautiously but in amazement, "Is it really possible for a life form with a development potential exceeding level 50 to be born under natural conditions?"

No matter how many testing measures Yitlan used at the time to verify Li Ming's development potential, there were only four words on the paper information - "based on testing"

Since the information didn't match, he naturally subconsciously thought that Yitlan had been cheated.

"What a pity..." The young prince shook his head. No matter how high the other party's development potential was, it was impossible for him to take away the legacy of the Hammer Forger.

Not to mention, the account between the Empire and his teacher has not been settled yet. From the moment the other party appeared here, it was destined that he would not be able to leave easily.

"Uncle..." Abel thought to himself, "Leave this man to me."

"You want to use it for your own benefit?" Prince Costat came back to his senses and Abel nodded.

Prince Costat was suspicious and noncommittal, his eyes flickering, "Let's go on and watch."

Dius lowered her eyes and looked at Li Ming with a little curiosity. It was the first time she met this young man and she didn't pay much attention to her teacher.

But the last attack on the Imperial base was indeed fierce, but sending students here again under such circumstances is risky...

But on second thought, the fact that the guy named Qinglong dared to attack the imperial base meant that he was an impulsive and adventurous person.

Estelle beside her was indifferent, not caring or concerned. The other two members of her Star Cluster Republic allies were the same, waiting quietly.

If you want to take away the inheritance of the Hammer Forger, developing potential is just an entry ticket, but whether you can take it away is still unclear.

The only thing worth paying attention to is Li Ming, who is a naturally born life form with high development potential.

……

"Come on..." someone suddenly shouted beside Li Ming.

He was surprised and turned his head to take a look. It was a middle-aged man who looked a little excited. He felt that he looked a little familiar.

When he saw the mechanical staff in the other person's hand, he suddenly realized that this guy was the one who mentioned his name to the Holy Elephant.

If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have attracted so much attention, Li Ming muttered to himself.

But even if this guy didn't say it, there were others who said that his information was no longer a secret in the interstellar space at that time.

"Come on... show them some color!" There were more than one person shouting at him, and it was gradually forming a wave. They were basically mechanics.

After all, this is the legacy of the great hammersmith, the founder of the Mechanics Association. It is really frustrating that no mechanic can meet the requirements to participate in the review.

The sudden appearance of Li Ming and his eventual arrival really gave these mechanics a shot in the arm.

Li Ming was speechless, as he was regarded as the last hope by the mechanics.

More and more people were cheering for him, and finally a clustering effect was formed, with many non-mechanics joining the ranks.

"Fuck..." Li Ming was speechless. He glanced at the "Sakanian Elephant Man" over there and had no idea why this kind of life form was joining in the fun.

"Brother, show those bastards a lesson and get the inheritance!"

Amid the shouting, Li Ming heard these words and paused, his face becoming more and more strange. Was he being regarded as a banner of "resistance"?
No matter how you look at it, I can be considered a grassroots person. Even with my current status, I am still half a grassroots person compared to the group of people mentioned above.

The grassroots counterattack is a script that everyone likes, and it seems very down-to-earth, which is always more approachable than those expressionless people in the sky.

With the accumulation of numerous buffs, Li Ming actually gained a lot of support.

"It's really...the world is unpredictable." After Li Ming figured it out, he felt more and more speechless. He didn't care, as this kind of support was useless.

"Li Ming..." The God of Creation spoke slowly, and the noisy sound that echoed into the sky gradually stopped, "He is the person I recommended."

"After all, the legacy of the Hammersmith must have a member of the Mechanics Association to participate."

As soon as the words fell, there was a thunderous shout again, and the large number of mechanics present were very satisfied.

“Master craftsman…” Li Ming nodded towards where he was.

The Mechanical Soul Master beside him looked at Li Ming and suddenly said to the Creation Master: "Who asked you to recommend him? Qinglong?"

"No, an old friend." The Master Craftsman was calm.

"Your old friends? Are there any I don't know?" The Soul Mechanical Master said jokingly. "A lot." The Creation Master smiled.

The mountain-like Holy Elephant of Domination also cast its gaze upon Li Ming. He had some understanding of this young man, although several civilizations had jointly blocked his external contacts.

But over such a long time, I have obtained a lot of information here and there. He has an ordinary background but amazing talent.

This is very similar to the Forging Hammer Master, but the development potential is much higher than that of the Forging Hammer Master. It was discovered by the Casting Star-level Mechanic very early and has been carefully cultivated.

It is a high-end plus version of the Hammer Forger.

Under normal circumstances, he might really choose this young man as his successor.

Those specially made descendants of civilizations are all machines without self-awareness.

The Ruler of the Holy Elephant was helpless. Under the current circumstances, he was no longer allowed to choose a successor normally.

"Now that the last person has arrived, let's get ready to start." Prince Costat said lightly.

Dius was a little surprised that the Empire did not take any action. Was it concerned about the Mechanics Association?

The five people, including Li Ming, all came to the front of the Holy Elephant.

An urgent pressure came over them, but the five people present had all seen big scenes before, and their expressions remained calm.

"We can now begin to command the Holy Elephant," Prince Costat said in a deep voice.

"I understand..." the Dominating Holy Elephant said lazily. The slightest movement would cause a violent hurricane. Its huge mechanical pupils stared at the five people in front of it.

The mechanical long nose, which was as big as a mountain, covered the sky and the sun, and fell to the ground with a loud bang, stirring up a surging wind, and people around it fell to the ground.

The two holes on the elephant's trunk were pitch black.

"Come in..." he said.

"Go in?" Abel frowned slightly, and the five people present were unmoved.

"Where do you want them to go?" Prince Costat said coldly, "This is not in our agreement."

"Of course this is in our agreement." The Holy Elephant of Domination said impatiently, "They are going to go inside my body and conduct various tests."

"Go inside your body?" Dius also frowned and said unhappily: "Why didn't you say that before?"

"Are you still not at ease?" The Holy Elephant was very dissatisfied.

Everyone was silent, of course they were worried. These were the treasures of all the major civilizations and the pillars of the future. What if they were killed by the Dominating Holy Elephant inside their bodies?
"What are the assessment steps?" asked Prince Costat.

"Development potential and mechanics talent..." The Holy Elephant of the Ruler explained helplessly: "The former can be tested visually, but the latter cannot be shown visually. It can only be proved by time. The assessment time may be slightly longer."

This explanation was reasonable, but several people were quite hesitant. This was something beyond their control. However, since things had come to this point, it was not a good idea to back down.

Seeing that the few people remained silent, the onlookers started to make noises in a low voice, and many people looked at them with contempt.

You don’t even dare let anyone in?

"If you guys don't want to go, I'll go in first." Li Ming spoke first. He was not afraid anyway.

Abel and the others' faces changed slightly. Are you trying to get impression points again?

"Wait!" Prince Costat shouted, his face solemn, "I have a question, they won't kill each other when they go in, right?"

“The assessments are separate. Even when testing combat capabilities, there are mechanical bodies. I’m not at that level yet.” The Holy Elephant was speechless.

"I have another question." Dius continued, "Is the Infinite Hammer included in the legacy of the Hammersmith?"

Costat looked at them coldly. He was also very curious about this question. The Holy Elephant had never given them an answer before.

But he was still surprised that Dius asked it so directly.

Abel may not be recognized. If it is inherited by someone else, they will have to find out what the so-called inheritance is so that they can deal with it.

But now that everyone is paying attention, it is bound to cause more waves.

There was silence all around, and the onlookers were also curious about this question and watched eagerly.

"That hammer? It's not there..." The Holy Elephant of Domination shook his head and said casually, "The hammer disappeared along with the Hammer Forger."

"No infinite hammer?" Abel was a little disappointed, but he had expected it.

"Do you have any questions?" The Ruling Holy Elephant looked at the guardian of the Cluster Republican Alliance - Claude.

"No." Crow shook his head.

"So are you going in or not?" The Holy Elephant urged.

"If one person is missing when we come out, you know the consequences." Prince Costat said coldly, "Also, the entire assessment process must be revealed to the public so that we know about it."

"Got it." The Holy Elephant became more and more impatient.

……

"He is Li Ming?"

In the Empire's aircraft, Prince Ryan's figure suddenly appeared, with blurred edges, looking at Li Ming on the screen.

Jiaint was startled, and said with gritted teeth: "Yes... yes."

Diaz stepped back behind Prince Ryan and remained silent.

Prince Ryan said expressionlessly, "If we don't catch him, what is Costat waiting for?"

Jiaint's throat was dry, and he whispered, "After all, he was recommended by the God of Creation. Prince Costat might be concerned about the Mechanic Association."

"Really? Costat is still as cowardly as ever, but does the Empire need to be afraid of anyone?" Prince Ryan narrowed his eyes.

Jiaint felt inexplicably trembling all over. Even though it was just a virtual projection, he felt an indescribable fear and said hurriedly:
"Also... I have another idea. Let Li Ming in. If he can really be recognized, it won't be too late for us to arrest him later."

"It makes sense to use the name of the Empire being attacked."

"That's very thoughtful." Prince Ryan smiled, but his eyes were cold, which was a profound interpretation of what it meant to smile with one's face but not with one's heart. "But what if I want to do it now?"

Gaint felt a chill in his heart. Just as he was about to speak, his eyes blurred and Diaz had already left.

"Diaz!" he couldn't help but shout, trying to catch up.

“Alas…Alas…Alas…” Prince Ryan shook his head lightly and stood in front of Gaint.

Gaint's scalp tingled. This was just an illusion. He could have rushed straight towards it, but... in the end he still didn't move.

"That's a good boy..." Prince Ryan showed his standard, chilling, fake smile.
