This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 427: The Bloodfaller surrenders? The upgrade material turns out to be…

Huh? The spotlight is on me? Li Ming, who had been silent the whole time, felt more and more weird.

First, he laid out the importance of this organization, then the power of the invitee, and finally, he turned the conversation around and asked if he was invited.

Could he deny it? Obviously not. The Empire would announce the list soon. There was no point in deceiving now.

"I... am indeed one of the ten." Li Ming said slowly.

Suddenly, the gaze under the black fog became more intense, and waves began to surge in his heart. Is Qinglong really one of the ten?

An interstellar giant certified by the Empire!
The navigator was puzzled. What on earth was the Bleeding One doing? Paving the way for the Azure Dragon?
Also, Qinglong is actually one of the ten people. Why would the Empire invite him?

Who... is he!?

The development of this rally was completely beyond his expectations.

Qinglong did almost nothing, and relied entirely on the assistance of the Bloodfallen One to raise his status to a certain level.

"You are actually one of the ten." The Blood-Falling One said in surprise.

The others were speechless. They already thought that Qinglong had instigated the Bloodfaller to rebel, and that the two were just acting to suppress the Navigator.

But I have to say that Qinglong's methods are indeed extraordinary.

After all, the navigator had been powerful for many years, but this time he couldn't utter a word.

"With Your Excellency here, we will be able to learn in advance about any actions taken by the Higher Life Forms Alliance in the future." The Blood-Falling One added, "As expected of Your Excellency Qinglong."

"The higher life forms' alliance was formed by the Empire. If it stabilizes, it will be like having indestructible external aid. The other two civilizations will not sit idly by."

"We can take this opportunity to add fuel to the fire. It would be best if we can dismantle this organization."

The Bloodthirster's plan was standard, and it was nothing more than responding to each move as it came.

They had been hiding in the dark before, and their sudden attack did cause considerable trouble to the empire. Now that the empire has withstood the first wave of attacks and started to counterattack, they are somewhat stretched.

"Hmm..." Li Ming kept staring at him, his eyes suddenly flickering, "I think we shouldn't waste time on this matter."

The Bleeding One's tone was slightly hesitant, and the others couldn't help but look at him.

Incite the blood-droppers to rebel, suppress the leaders, and come up with a plan, all in one go.

"I have top secret information. The Empire has found the whereabouts of the Star of Eternal Silence." He said shockingly.

The Bleeding One's pupils contracted and his heart trembled slightly. How could he know?
"The Star of Eternal Silence?" The navigator's heart tightened a little, and he couldn't help but look over.

In fact, he was not sure whether Qinglong was a member of the empire. He suppressed Qinglong because of the urgency of his own status.

It can be seen from the code name that although the Navigator does not have a clear leader, he vaguely has the meaning of a leader.

However, he also has a real hatred for the Empire, and if Qinglong is more skilled than him, he doesn't mind lying dormant for a while.

The people below were talking about it.

"The United Organization of Higher Life Forms, I am more inclined to believe that this is a smokescreen thrown by the Empire to divert attention from the planet-killing incident." Li Ming quickly got into character and spoke freely:

"The two civilizations cannot sit idly by. We cannot play a big role in this. The Star of Eternal Silence is the most important. If we let the Empire lose it and regain it, all our efforts will be in vain."

"Smoke bomb..." The navigator murmured. If he put aside his prejudice against Qinglong, this possibility was indeed very high.

"Right, Mr. Bloodfallen." Li Ming asked suddenly.

"Your analysis is good." The Bloodfaller nodded, "However, this is the empire's top secret. Even I find it difficult to detect it. If I want to find out the exact location..."

"The deep dimensional world, the Red River Star Stream." Li Ming directly spit out the name. This was what he knew from Kostarte. He was really surprised at the time.

The one who lost his blood was frightened, what a great green dragon.

"Even the specific coordinates?" The navigator was quite surprised, and his suspicion of Qinglong inevitably decreased a little, although it might be a bait.

But this scope has been reduced to a very small level and is relatively easy to verify.

"So, next, the focus of our investigation should shift to the Star of Eternal Silence," he said in a deep voice.

"That makes sense..." Blackbeard nodded, finally daring to agree. This plan was much simpler than fighting against any coalition of higher life forms.

Besides, who wouldn’t want to obtain something as good as the Star of Eternal Silence?
Everyone else also thought about it, between fighting against X-level life forms and searching for treasure, everyone knew what to choose.

Li Mingze said: "I don't know your specific identities, so how to investigate is up to you guys."

"Understood." A lot of people responded, which was completely different from the beginning.

"If everything is alright, just disperse." Li Ming said naturally. Some people logged off immediately and almost everyone dispersed soon.

The navigator couldn't help but snort in his heart.

"Wait..." When Li Ming was about to log off, he was stopped by the Bleeding One.

"Sir Qinglong, now that it's time to tell you more about the Pioneers."

"Oh?" Li Ming was slightly stunned, and couldn't help being curious.

Then, the surrounding scene began to change silently, from the Iron Throne Hall to a small room with only four chairs around it, and the fifth one was slowly taking shape.

"The Core Council." The Bloodfallen One introduced: "The four of us, the Navigator, the Guide, and the Forger, founded the Pioneers. You are the fifth."

Four dark shadows were jumping on the four seats, but they didn't respond or say hello.

The navigator was shocked and angry again. This was something he had no idea about. The Blood-Falling One actually invited Qinglong to join the core council.

"Core Council." Li Ming was not surprised that there was this small circle, but what surprised him was that this group of people were actually willing to accept him.

"Our only goal is to fight against the empire. I believe Your Excellency Qinglong feels the same way." The Blood-Fallen One raised his hand, and a black mist flowed out and merged into the fifth throne.

"This is the identity of all members of the Forerunners, except us."

Li Ming was more and more surprised. He took a quick glance and saw several familiar names.

"Blackbeard turned out to be Parro..."

"The Forging Star Mechanic -- Ulysses, the guy who recommended me to join the Mechanic Association, Dark Night's friend, he is also a member..."

"Thank you all for your trust." Li Ming thought about it and realized that other people's attitudes towards him were very cold. They didn't react much. He said a few perfunctory words and hurriedly logged off.

"You...what on earth are you doing!?"

After Qinglong left, the Navigator could no longer suppress his anger and asked the Bloodfallen, "When did you get involved with him?"

"Also, who allowed you to invite him to the core council?"

"That's right, Bleeding One, you need to give us an explanation." The guide also spoke. The Bleeding One's actions were too abrupt and they were all unaware of it.

In front of Qinglong, they couldn't refute and could only remain silent.

"I just got the news that he killed Ryan." The Bloodfallen One only said this. Instantly, the Navigator's anger dissipated, and he was a little bit unbelievable: "He killed Ryan?"

"Yes, we killed him on the way back to Costat, which is enough to prove that he is not from the Empire." The Blood-Fell said in a deep voice, "Should we refuse to let such a person in?"

The navigator's expression changed, and finally he snorted coldly and stopped talking.

"If that's the case, you are indeed qualified to join the core council." The other two had no objections. There was no more important token of allegiance than this.

……

"It seems that other people don't know that I am going to join the core council. It's all the Blood-Loss who is acting on his own. What on earth does he want to do?" Li Ming went offline, still thinking.

The situation today was completely different from what he had imagined before he went online. Many of the prepared rhetoric was of no use. Not only did he not encounter much criticism, but his status was elevated.

He couldn't figure out what the Bleeding One was trying to do. This guy was clearly a high-ranking official in the empire, and everyone else trusted him.

"It can't be that I'm so powerful that he bows down to me." Li Ming thought for a long time but still couldn't come up with an answer. For now, everything the Bleeding One did was not bad for him.

Moreover, a list of the true identities of all members of the Pioneer Organization was given. Throwing this thing to the Empire and killing them one by one would be a great achievement.

It can be said that there is no distrust.

"Now that we are here, let's make the best of it..." He shook his head, put the matter aside for the time being, took a long breath, and began to communicate with the Holy Castle.

"Ask questions?" The Supervisor appeared and looked at Li Ming who was gradually emerging.

"Take the trial." Li Ming said honestly. The Supervisor was speechless and didn't say much. The scene around him changed.

In the black fog, the outlines of the transcendental Abyss clan gradually became clear, with bulging muscles, firm lines, more armor-like structures on the surface of the skin, and complex surface textures.

The eyes in the head turned blood red, like burning flames.

Li Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, he was fully focused, an infinite heavy hammer appeared in his hand, purple light flickered, power surged in his body, his muscles twitched, gathered on his arms, and his breathing became heavy and rapid.

boom!
Thunder from heaven and fire from earth collide!

"I abstain!"

Soon, Li Ming roared, and the violent energy around him dissipated in an instant, and his body, which was almost beaten into pieces, quickly repaired itself.

"Fuck." Li Ming panted and cursed.

After these Yuan people were raised to the transcendence level, they were even stronger than he had imagined. Each of them had strength comparable to Ryan's after the gene was liberated, or even slightly stronger. He was directly beaten into sandbags.

Li Ming grimaced. Although his body was repairing, it was really painful. "Overseer, how can these things be so strong? They are even more terrifying than the lord level at the same level."

The Supervisor emerged from the black mist and seemed relieved. Fortunately, this guy didn't win.

"Life forms are constantly evolving. The higher the level, the greater the gap. When you have reached the transcendent level on your evolutionary path, the gap between you and the Titans and the Abyss is not that big anymore." The Supervisor explained.

"Not to mention the Yuan Clan, a powerful life race."

That's right... Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief. At the stage of x-level life forms, it is normal for the conventional energy level to be more than twice the development progress.

"So, our evolutionary path seems to be quite impressive." Li Ming muttered, and then asked: "By the way, how did the Yuan Clan evolve?"

The Supervisor paused before saying, "Swallow...the universe."

"Swallow the universe?" Li Ming was stunned. "This is too broad."

The Supervisor explained: "It literally devours everything in the universe, including bodies, entities, information states, and quantum dimensions. It can devour everything it comes into contact with, and it can quickly adjust its evolutionary direction to cope with various environments."

"No bottleneck? This is too perfect?" Li Ming couldn't help but say.

The Supervisor said, “Yes, but I can’t tell you.”

Li Ming said, "Yongyuan..."

He thought again of the incomplete "Power of Eternal Abyss" on the system page. He didn't know what its specific function was, and hoped that it was not an upgrade material.

“Oh, I thought I could still give it a try, but in the end I couldn’t even get through the second level.” Li Ming sighed helplessly.

"Come back later." He said goodbye to the Supervisor and prepared to leave.

"Wait..." the Overseer called to him.

Someone asked me to wait again... Li Ming felt that these two words were very familiar. This was the third person who asked him to wait today.

"This thing is for you." The Supervisor threw out an exquisite alloy can. In the translucent glass cabin in the center, there was a crystal blood light and a drop of extremely bright blood was hanging.

"What is this?" Li Ming was puzzled.

"World Blood..." The Overseer said expressionlessly, "The reward for challenging the Transcendent Trial for the first time. It is given regardless of success or failure."

"Oh?" Li Ming became interested and looked at it carefully. "I seem to have heard you say that this thing can only be born in a dominant dimensional world? What's its use?"

"No." The Supervisor corrected, "The Transcendent Dimensional World can begin to condense, but the Overlord Dimension is more powerful and can be called the World Essence. For Titans, this thing can improve the level of evolution."

"What use it is to you, I don't know."

It turns out it’s just a decoration... He was speechless.

"Forget it, let me see." Li Ming took it and prepared to study it. The alloy cabin opened from the center, and the blood-like object slowly floated up.

It is called blood, but in fact it is similar to crystal. When you touch it, there is no special feeling, just icy cold.

No, this thing... can absorb?

Li Ming's eyes suddenly focused, and he habitually activated the control system, and was able to extract some kind of power from it.

He immediately perked up and was full of anticipation. The Supervisor frowned slightly, and seeing this guy holding the Blood of the World, he did not make any other moves and slowly shook his head.

The evolutionary path is completely different.

Many things left behind by the original masters are of no use to their descendants, and the pure-blooded Titans have disappeared.

Uh-huh!?
Suddenly, the Supervisor's mechanical pupils spun wildly. Was the World's Blood absorbed?

"You, what did you do?" The Supervisor asked in surprise and doubt. This guy is obviously not a pure-blooded Titan, how could he absorb the blood of the world?

However, he found that the other party was looking at him with an even more intense gaze.

"How can I get this thing?"

Li Ming was in high spirits and almost laughed out loud.

This world blood is actually the special energy required to upgrade to level X items.

It was so easy to find. He had thought it would take a long time to find it.

After all, there is no clue now. Unexpectedly, I got it by chance.
