This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 425: Interstellar Shock
Many people could see that the empire's troops stationed abroad were already shaky and full of leaks.

But the Empire had a decent exit thanks to Ryan's incident -
You didn't force me to leave. I found the problem myself and left on my own to maintain interstellar safety.

Almost no one expected that the Empire withdrew directly just as public opinion on the Xingyuan Republican Alliance was gaining momentum, which was like hitting cotton, which made people feel uncomfortable.

At that time, several civilizations jumped out and claimed that they were unwilling to let the imperial garrison withdraw, or said that they wanted to withdraw together.

The Empire was obviously planning something bad and secretly guided the situation, turning the opposition to the Imperial garrison into an opposition to the garrison.

The Sea of ​​Stars is so vast that there are countless civilizations, and it is not only the Empire that has troops stationed there.

The Federation has a large number of garrison troops, and even large local civilizations have a large number of garrison bases in other civilizations.

It’s just that the Empire has been exposed recently and has been the main target of attack. Now they have withdrawn directly, but those who didn’t withdraw will be embarrassed.

As a result, in contrast to the Empire's "active self-examination" and other civilizations' "playing dead and not responding", the Empire's reputation has risen sharply.

This matter fermented for a few days, and the Star Cluster Republican Alliance saw that the situation was about to get out of control. Some people even protested in front of the Federation’s garrison base. They were forced to turn the whole thing back to an interstellar massacre.

Ryan must be executed under the joint supervision of the Interstellar Alliance.

But almost at the same time, the Interstellar Alliance also issued a statement -
[Due to the increasingly turbulent interstellar situation, the Interstellar Alliance and the Empire have joined forces to temporarily establish a joint organization of higher life forms to deal with similar interstellar massacres or more serious incidents that endanger interstellar security. ]

A united organization of higher life forms? !

One stone can cause a thousand ripples. This statement came so suddenly that it stunned everyone.

This makes the already complex interstellar situation even more unpredictable.

Li Ming finished his conversation with Adam, waited for the spaceship to arrive, and then returned to the Mechanical Royal Court.

He had been following the developments on the interstellar network all the way, and it was half a month later when he arrived at the Mechanical Royal Court.

"Adam was planning to abandon the garrison. No wonder he was so cruel to Ryan. With internal and external troubles, these garrison bases are no longer a help."

"And the places where the empire can be attacked are getting fewer and fewer. The empire has shrunk into a turtle shell. When Adam cleans up the old empire and rebuilds the country, he will definitely become a pervert."

Li Ming muttered as he watched the discussion on the interstellar network about this united organization of higher life forms. Most ordinary life forms did not realize what this meant.

They are all just curious. There has been news circulating that there are already ten people among them, all of them are interstellar giants, but there is no way to know who they are exactly.

Many civilizations that had been clamoring to make the empire pay a higher price have fallen silent, obviously frightened.

The empire can’t afford to play with this thing, so it actually released it. What if it gets out of control?
Even the Star Cluster Republican Alliance has fallen silent. They are all frantically trying to gather information about this united organization of higher life forms. No one knows what they are secretly gambling on.

He was actually quite happy and at ease. The competition among these major forces gave him room for development. He could go back and digest the gains he had gained. There were also many things he needed to do.

"Anduin is so fast?"

Coming out of the star gate, Li Ming looked at the busy expansion teams around him and couldn't help but sigh that it felt different now that his status had been raised.

On the way back, he came into contact with Anduin through the introduction of the Soul Mechanical Master Reynolds.

The second-level stargate is an ultra-large-scale stargate that can connect to one hundred and twenty-eight stargate nodes at the same time and support more than one thousand transport ships in parallel, making transportation more efficient.

The star gate he saw at the headquarters of Yeyue Biological Company was a second-level star gate.

A temporary base will also be built around the secondary stargate to accommodate several large groups cooperating with Stargate, including Giant Shield, making it much more convenient to do anything.

"I remember Anduin said that the supervisor this time is an old acquaintance." Li Ming glanced at the super-large mechanical arms surrounding the star gate.

……

At the same time, in the starry sky where Costat was ambushed, a shadow emerged silently and flew back and forth for a long time without any other movement.

Levenbeck just appeared from the void with a vigilant look. He was already scared by Qinglong and was afraid that there would be an ambush.

"Finally left."

After waiting for a while and finding nothing unusual, he finally felt relieved.

Looking at the desolate starry sky in front of him, he sighed helplessly, "I don't know how much more I can collect."

A bloody crack appeared behind him, and many figures in black robes flew out from it. They stood in several positions on the battlefield, as if waiting for some kind of signal. The flesh and blood spread, entangled and combined, and then formed a huge special symbol.

A faint blood light appeared, and then the void trembled and waves appeared in the space.

After waiting for a long time, a drop of bright red blood was squeezed out, followed by the third drop and the fourth drop.

When the blood gathers to a certain size, it suddenly condenses together, then slowly proliferates, gradually turning into a thumb-sized ball of flesh.

Seeing this, Levenbeck breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, we squeezed out something. Although it is still a bit difficult to restore it to its original state, there is still a glimmer of hope."

Thinking of the price he had paid, his cheeks twitched involuntarily. There was nothing he could do about it. Li Ming couldn't move against Qinglong.

If one wants to make up for the shortcomings of alchemical materials, the blood of the Terraxians is another option, but there is no one else in the Empire who has the same conditions as Ryan and is willing to cooperate with him.

This is the only way to try to clone Ryan, at an extremely high cost, and it may not succeed.

"Don't worry, I have plenty of time." He exhaled slowly, and the figure of Qinglong appeared in front of him again. He turned and walked into the bloody gap.

.........

The Mechanical Royal Court greeted him and asked them to treat the spaceship that brought him back well.

Not long after he landed, the general supervisor of the star gate expansion also arrived. The other party had contacted him many times, but he was never there.

When Li Ming saw the other party's name, he met him as soon as possible.

“Ohh…”

Pushing open the door of the reception room, a familiar laugh and the iconic bright red clothes greeted me.

That’s right, the overseer is Austin.

"Little friend, long time no see." Austin was still very enthusiastic and looked at Li Ming with emotion in his eyes.

When they first met, Qinglong was only a Casting Star mechanic, so he took care of him out of courtesy. Later, he found that Qinglong seemed to be a relatively good Casting Star mechanic, so he decided to invest in him.

He even asked his nephew to register, almost by giving money.

As a result, the development of the situation was beyond his expectations. Not long after, Qinglong became a master craftsman, which really scared him.

This made him secretly admire his own sharp vision many times.

Then, this time, the subsequent turmoil caused by Ryan blocking the door has reached a level beyond imagination, and the big boss Qinglong was also involved.

Even his own boss Anduin had to be treated politely. Seeing that Anduin and Li Ming had had many contacts and had a good relationship, he specially sent him to be the supervisor to build a good relationship.

"Sir." Li Ming was very polite. He had a good impression of Austin and had come specially to fix the passage to the dimensional world for him last time.

And his nephew Trevor has borrowed a lot of money and hasn't paid it back yet.

"You don't have to be so polite." Austin's eyes sparkled, but he was secretly muttering in his heart, why did he feel that this guy's life breath was unusually strong and unpredictable.

He did not follow the path of genetic evolution, but an evolutionary path called [Rune Mage]. The main principle was to hone mental strength from the very beginning, and then manipulate all kinds of forces in the universe and possess all kinds of incredible abilities.

Therefore, his perception was quite strong and he noticed that something was wrong with Li Ming at the first moment.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Isn't it possible?" An incredible guess suddenly popped up in his mind, which made his heart jump. "Impossible, definitely impossible, this is too fast."

"Sir?" Li Ming saw that Austin was just staring at him, his eyes were about to glow green, and he didn't say anything. He suddenly got goose bumps and stepped back silently.

"Oh, sorry. I was thinking about something. Come and sit down." Austin woke up as if from a dream. He quickly reached out and grabbed Li Ming, motioning him to sit down.

This seems to be my territory... Li Ming muttered to himself, but Austin, this guy, never follows the rules in his style of doing things.

He didn't care and was about to sit down when he felt something strange in his body.

When he looked up, he found that Austin was holding him tightly, his pupils were wide open, and his skinny and thin arms were shaking.

"Is it really an S-level life form?" Austin's heart was filled with shock and disbelief.

He had witnessed with his own eyes that this guy had become an A-level life form, and it had only been over a year since then.

And now it has become an S-level life form, and its speed is so fast that he is dumbfounded.

This...how terrifying is his development potential?
He subconsciously didn't believe it in his heart, but the feedback from the "detection spell" could not be false.

"He found out?" Li Ming raised his eyebrows, coughed dryly, and said, "Sir."

"Oh, oh..." Austin woke up as if from a dream, his face changed, and there was a kind of fear in his eyes, "Well, I have something to tell you. This expansion will probably last for three months, and the transfer node should be completed in half a year..."

"I have something else to do, so I won't bother you anymore. Please give my regards to Lord Qinglong."

Austin left in a hurry after he finished speaking, as if he was afraid his life would be in danger if he was a second late.

"Is he afraid that Qinglong will kill him to silence him?" Li Ming was speechless, "Why is he so curious?"

He didn't care that much about this matter. It couldn't be hidden in the first place. As long as he saw the true form of any X-level life form, he would most likely be exposed. However, with the might of the Azure Dragon he had created now, he had nothing to be afraid of.

Unable to reminisce about the past, Li Ming shook his head, walked out the door, and headed straight for the mechanical warehouse. Ulrich, who had returned earlier than him, was already waiting there.

"Sir..." Ulrich looked respectful. For some reason, he actually felt a sense of oppression from Li Ming.

"Since you left, we have accumulated a total of 500,000 D-class machines and 1,000 C-class machines. They are all here." He said, "There should be a large-scale expansion in the future, and these will come in handy."

"Yeah." Li Ming nodded and walked straight in. The densely packed mechanical bodies almost filled the entire warehouse.

He couldn't help but grin, and stretched out his hands. The arc storm suddenly spread out. Thanks to the ability of the [Mechanical Lord], a large amount of white and blue light continued to explode, mutating into a higher-level mechanical body.

Suddenly, a flash of purple light exploded, and Li Ming's eyes condensed slightly. In the deep purple arc storm, a large number of mechanical structures kept reorganizing and transforming, with clanging sounds.

In the end, everything fell silent, and what appeared before our eyes was a burly iron rider riding on a mechanical warhorse.

The entire body of the warhorse was made of black alloy, with hard and sharp lines, and blue energy flames spurting out of its joints. Every step it took made the warehouse tremble, and it was three meters high.

The armor on the mechanical knight shone with a blue-gold light, with arcs of electricity jumping in the complex patterns. The metal helmet covered his face, revealing only a pair of mechanical pupils emitting a cold light.

In his hand he held a gigantic energy spear, the tip of which flashed with electricity. The combined height of the two was nearly six meters. This was an A-class mechanical body.

"I'm so lucky. There's only a 0.01% chance of getting an A-grade mechanical body out of a C-grade mechanical body, and one thousand of them appeared?" Li Ming was in a good mood, as if he had drawn gold for free.

After leaving the door, Ulrich was still waiting here. Li Ming pondered and said, "Next, increase the proportion of C-class mechanical bodies to 30%, and invest all current resources in circular expansion."

"Do your best to take over the arms market in Chaos Star Gap for me."

Capturing the firm confidence in Li Ming's words, Ulrich made a promise, "Don't worry, I will do it at any cost!"

He was still very confident in the work of this old fox. With a nod, Li Ming left.

Watching Li Ming leave, Ulrich's eyes were blazing and filled with surging ambition.

He has now discovered that Qinglong and Li Ming do not like to trust others easily, and until now, they have not recruited subordinates on a large scale.

The reason why he trusted them was also due to his "life-and-death gamble". Under such circumstances, his position was actually very stable.

As long as he doesn't seek death himself, with his intelligence, it would be easy for him to be second only to two people and above others in the Mechanical Royal Court.

As long as the Mechanical Royal Court continues to expand, even S-level life forms will have to behave themselves in front of him!

The fire in his heart was burning higher than ever before. He turned and walked into the warehouse, ready to distribute these mechanical bodies to various locations.

"this…"

As soon as he entered the warehouse, Ulrich paused.

Standing in front of him was a tall mechanical knight, emitting a cold aura. He was startled and felt a threat from the other party.

A-class mechanical body? His throat rolled.
