This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 385 Upgrading and Inventory Energy Level Reaching X (Sorry, sorry, a little late.)
Li Ming did not want to ruin his relationship with this supervisor. Seeing that the other party's attitude had eased, he apologized and said, "It is indeed my fault. This is my first time here and I don't understand the rules here."

The Supervisor didn't say anything. In fact, there were many rules that he should have been responsible for guiding and explaining. However, after discovering the other party's strangeness, he did not show up immediately.

The mechanical eyeballs wandered, and then said, "How did you bring those mechanical bodies in? Information state conversion cannot carry those things."

"Secret." Li Ming smiled. The Supervisor shook his head and said in an inexplicable tone: "I didn't expect that Lord Diglas's Holy Castle would welcome a weird guy like you after only 50 years of revival."

"Diglas?" Li Ming hesitated. Is he the owner of this holy castle?

There is a lot of information here. This is definitely not the first holy castle to be revived.

"After the Holy Castle is revived, will it send out the Purple Skull to look for an heir?" Li Ming asked.

"Lord Digras's emblem is a purple skull. As for the emblems of other lords, they are slightly different," the Supervisor explained.

That makes sense, Li Ming thought to himself, if all the chosen ones have purple skulls, the Pioneers and the Xingyuan Empire will definitely start from this aspect and find out the truth.

"What specific level do we need to reach to open the Holy Castle?" Li Ming asked.

"Only after passing the peak transcendental trial can the Holy Castle be opened."

Peak transcendence? Li Ming took a breath of cold air. Theoretically, it corresponds to the development progress exceeding 90% of the x and life forms.

But the problem is that those strange life forms are too powerful. They are definitely no match for the X-level life forms with 90% development progress, and can only be dealt with by crushing them.

In other words, one must at least reach the level of the ultimate life form to pass the peak transcendence trial.

No wonder those X-level life forms never come back, how can we fight them?
Li Ming was secretly shocked, and then realized that something was wrong. "Overseer, the Overlord-level Titans left the Holy Castle behind for people to obtain. This difficulty is not right."

"It is indeed a bit difficult, but this system was established to select those unique living beings among trillions." The Supervisor said as a matter of course.

But Li Ming always felt something was wrong.

Suddenly, he figured out the difference in the evolutionary systems!

The Titans' evolutionary path should be stronger than the current one, so this kind of trial was set up.

But they seemed to have forgotten the difference in the evolution system. They did not weaken the difficulty, or in their opinion, if the evolution system was not strong enough, they would not be eligible to obtain their legacy.

The path of genetic evolution is originally prepared for life species whose own life strength is insufficient.

Therefore, more powerful life genes are needed to make up for their own strength.

But the Titans were born powerful, and they took a completely different evolutionary path.

Li Ming was speechless. No wonder there seemed to be only one Star of Eternal Silence appearing in all these years.

This is a vicious circle for the current evolutionary path. If the concentration of Titan blood is not high enough, the Holy Castle cannot be opened. If the concentration of the blood is too high, the development potential will be suppressed and it will be impossible to evolve to a higher level.

"By the way, what is the evolutionary path of the Titans?" Li Ming asked casually.

The Supervisor stared at him and said, "Through special means, absorbing the power of the dimensional world to evolve, you don't have to think about it, only a pure-blooded Titan can do it."

Absorb the power of the dimensional world? Yes, it depends on the situation. Li Ming feels that the current evolutionary path is good and suits him very well, so he has no intention of changing it.

“Well, didn’t the purple skull claim to be the heir of Titan civilization? But in the end, it could only open a holy castle?” Li Ming had a lot of questions that needed answers.

"You will understand once you open the Holy Castle." The Supervisor shook his head.

Well...it's about permissions again, right?
Li Ming's heart moved, and he tried to poke the monitor, but the other party was very alert, as if he was in another dimension and could not be touched.

He was completely speechless, and then asked what the enemies he encountered during the trial were.

"The Abyss Clan comes from the Eternal Abyss..." the Supervisor said in a deep voice.

"Eternal Abyss? They were the ones who destroyed Terrax?" Li Ming asked tentatively.

"You will know when you open the Holy Castle." The Supervisor said expressionlessly.

Li Ming was helpless and asked a lot of questions, some of which he could answer but some he could not.

Only at the last moment did he take a reluctant look at the huge portal and choose to return.

Looking at the place where the trial-taker disappeared, data flowed in the monitor's pupils and his brows were furrowed.

……

After opening his eyes, everything became clearer. Li Ming felt as if he was in a dream. He glanced at the time and found that more than two hours had passed. The time was almost the same.

Looking down, I saw strands of information state particle streams converging, flashing strange light and changing colors unpredictably.

Then they gradually condensed into various weapons. Some were shaped like long swords with the sword body composed of flowing particles. As the light flashed, it emitted a heart-pounding cold light.

It then transformed into a spear, with particles at the tip spinning at high speed, forming an energy vortex that seemed to be able to swallow up any objects that approached.

There was also a giant axe condensed, with arcs of electricity jumping on the axe blade, and every flash was accompanied by powerful energy fluctuations.

Unbelievable, Li Ming sighed secretly.

Four A-level weapons, each costing an average of six million to control, which is considered quite powerful.

An S-class weapon costs 50 million to control, but it is only average and far inferior to the data upgraded by his controlled object, after all, it has undergone various enhancements along the way.

And there is a common ability that occupies an ability column.

【Giant: Weapons can be enlarged ten times. 】

He originally wanted to sell them, but when he thought that these were weapons of the Terrax civilization and that they might cause some trouble, he simply bought them all back.

But in the end, an A-level weapon was left behind, which may have other uses.

Nearly 50 million metal energies were recovered, plus the original remaining, after a series of operations, there were still 350 million left.

As I was thinking, I felt my skin getting hot. When I came to my senses, I found that wisps of blood-red light were wrapping around me, like little snakes drilling into my skin, and my heart beat faster and faster.

This should be the so-called blood purification. As soon as this thought came to Li Ming's mind, he felt a piercing burning sensation on his skin, as if millions of red-hot needles were piercing into him at the same time, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.

Every muscle was cramping, every nerve was twitching, and in this extreme pain, Li Ming began to undergo a deeper transformation, his skin gradually became as tough as metal, shining with a strange luster, as if covered by a layer of mysterious energy shield.

The cells are dividing and recombining frantically, releasing powerful life energy and becoming more active, as if they have self-awareness.

The bones make crackling sounds as they are constantly strengthened and reshaped. Their internal structures become increasingly complex and sophisticated, able to withstand unimaginable pressure and impact. It is a transformation that is a mixture of pain and rebirth.

The purification of the Titan bloodline was more intense than Li Ming had imagined, and it was vaguely in conflict with his gene seed.

But Li Ming had experienced this situation once before, and he directly used the defense blessing. With more than 200 times the defense blessing, all conflicts and tearing disappeared without a trace.

The roaring river instantly turned into a quiet stream.

After a long time, Li Ming removed the defensive blessing after confirming that the transformation was over. He immediately felt a completely different feeling. He seemed to have grown taller and his physical strength had increased significantly.

His eyes flashed slightly and he quickly took out the genetic testing device.

"The development progress has improved, it's already 40%..." Li Ming looked at the numbers on the screen, silently clenched his fists, making crackling sounds.

I felt a little excited in my heart, "I remember, the last time this happened was in..."

He further tested the development potential in detail, his eyes sparkling, "Sure enough, the root development potential has risen to level 20."

His original root development potential was only level ten, and this was doubled.

"Titan bloodline has this benefit? Didn't the Supervisor say that it would suppress development potential?" Li Ming was secretly surprised and pondered.

Does it mean that suppression will only occur after the development potential reaches level 45, and the increase in blood concentration in the early stage will actually increase the development potential?
The supervisor didn't mention this, probably because he thought my development potential must be very high, but in fact it is frighteningly low.

Titan Bloodline: Brother, your development potential is too low. Let me give you some advice.

Li Ming erased the inexplicable images in his mind and grinned. This was an unexpected surprise.

In this way, his development speed will continue to rise, and there will even be a channel for stable improvement.

This wave is more than just making bloody profits.

Li Ming calmed down. The Holy Castle Trial was of benefit to him. The rewards were not wasted and the weapons could also recycle metal energy.

Although the final trial was very difficult, for him, if his life level reached level X and he coordinated with many control objects, he would definitely be able to complete it.

This way, I don't have to worry about finding the Holy Castle and can just follow the steps in the trial.

Well... that won't work. Just because I ignore it doesn't mean they won't continue looking. The Empire will definitely not give up and may even get more aggressive.

I have no control over the progress over there, and it would be a pipe dream to try to stop it.

He paced back and forth in the room, and suddenly, as he was thinking, he paused and an idea suddenly came to his mind.

Li Ming narrowed his eyes and said, "Just because I can't stop it doesn't mean others can't stop it."

No one can resist the temptation of the Holy Castle, so he plans to wholesale the program designed by the Hammer God to find the Holy Castle of Terrax.

Anyway, he can already take part in the Holy Castle Trial, and everyone should have a copy, so no one should think too much about it.

"This is too vicious." Li Ming suddenly looked up at the metal wall. His handsome face was reflected on the smooth wall.

Having made up his mind, Li Ming immediately started to calculate and made a table.

"The Sisterhood will definitely want it. There are also many ambitious people in the Black Hole Hall. The Holy Revolutionary Army will not mind adding some gambles to the Empire. Not to mention the Federation, there are also several overlords and Godsmiths in the Chaos Star Gap..."

Li Ming pondered: "No, we can't do such a big move, otherwise it will be easy to be targeted. Let's sell it to a few familiar forces first..."

After opening the black hole network, the Sisterhood had a contact who sent messages to them. The Holy Revolutionary Army and the Federation needed middlemen to spread the news.

Message transmission takes time. Li Ming temporarily put down the smart terminal, opened the control page again, and prepared to upgrade the controlled object.

I still have two Terrax Stones left. Foreign objects cannot be used in the Trial of the Holy Castle, so improving the control of objects will bring greater effects. There is no rush to add two guards positions.

As for which control object to upgrade, he had already made up his mind. He opened the control column and locked his target on three almost identical control objects [Giant Earth-shaking Fists]. A large amount of metal energy flowed in, and the appearance began to transform--
[Earth-shaking Fist--S-level: Smash the earth!
Control Effect: Features - [Earth Shattering], [Star Shattering]

Control ability - Earthshaking: Gain 5000% strength. 】

[Earth Shattering: Gain 2000% strength and apply the "Earth Shattering" mark to the target. Every ten layers of the mark will detonate and cause additional damage.]

[Broken Star: The mark can be stacked up to ten times. For every layer of mark on the enemy, the extra damage caused increases by 2.5%, which can be stacked.]

With 200 million metal energies invested, [Earth-shaking Fist] has been greatly improved, and the data blessing goes without saying.

The new feature [Star Crusher] is also very useful. With two pairs of [Earth Shaking Fists], the damage can be directly increased to 75%, which is almost doubled.

After calculating the formation, he found that among the eight controlled objects on his body, four were already S-level, including the core [Heart of Talos], [Armguard of Justice], and two [Earth-shaking Fists].

The others are [Feros Mecha] which is mainly because of its ability [Thunder Guard], but it is not needed much now and can be replaced.

[Life Power Core] mainly increases physical strength, [Vortex Shadow] mainly increases speed, and there is also a [Earth-Shaking Fist] to assist in increasing strength.

The overall strength blessing soared directly to three hundred and ten times, and the strength that can directly act on the body is nearly one hundred and sixty times.

"Now the development progress has been slightly improved, and with the enhancement of Titan bloodline, the conventional burst has exceeded 90A. With comprehensive support, the burst energy level can exceed 1X... not to mention various characteristic skills..."

Li Ming estimated the situation and suddenly fell silent, even he was shocked.

Of course, past experience made him clearly aware that only an S-class life form whose explosive energy level had touched the X-class standard and whose development progress was close to 100% could reach this level after genetic liberation.

After reaching this level, he fell into a bottleneck period. Because the gap in energy levels was too large, it was difficult to achieve qualitative changes even if he continued to improve the objects he controlled.

This is a period of pain. In the past, every level of life had a similar stage. He will naturally not stagnate. He will improve and upgrade as needed.

After becoming an S-level life form, there will naturally be a qualitative change.

Li Ming thought in his heart: "Besides, now that we can fight the Saint Castle Trial, every bit of improvement is not wasted. If we plan carefully, we can replace some control objects and wait for the development progress to increase. We should be able to fight the middle lord level trial."

"Tsk, there are still two A-level evolution essences left, not S-level, so we have to find two unlucky guys."
