This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 439: Qinglong’s information state?
According to what he learned from the interrogation, these were the accumulations from the peak of the Sisterhood, and the conservatives had not received any of them over the years.

Unlike the radicals, the conservatives have never actively expanded their power, or their expansion is different from what Li Ming thinks.

Still following the old method of the Virgin Mary Church, secretly absorbing those outstanding girls from aristocratic and powerful forces to expand the branches.

Because they have now shrunk severely, their business scope is almost limited to the territory of the empire. This is because there is a large network left by the Peak Mother Church within the empire.

We have been recuperating and expanding slowly over the years, so the remaining resources have almost been consumed without any income.

In fact, this kind of lair-like base did not exist at all within the Holy Mother organization at its peak. Every senior member must have been someone else's wife or mother, and they would not gather together.

In addition to these Terrax stones, there are also some strange materials left, which are now collected. Those that are not damaged in the energy aftermath are not ordinary materials.
Li Ming asked his mechanical bodies to make a rough estimate, and the overall value should be around 50 billion star coins, and it could absorb about 600 million metal energies.

“It’s already pretty good…”

Li Ming was very satisfied. The real strength of the conservatives lies in the members of the organization distributed throughout the empire, rather than in an organization that concentrates resources.

Add to that one X-level gene source and five S-level gene sources, the harvest is not small.

"Hmm, this list..." Thinking, he looked down and saw a series of lists densely listed on the virtual screen.

All of these are the result of years of efforts by conservative members of the Virgin Mary Church who are still secretly operating within the empire.

The one with the highest status among them was the wife of a prince, the legal wife.

When Li Ming came out of the interrogation, he was really surprised. This conservative should not be underestimated.

From high to low, the number of members is as high as 1,300. These people are not ordinary citizens within the empire. There are more than 300 of them, all of whom are administrative heads of a planet, and the number of people they indirectly or directly affect is countless.

The conservatives also learned a lot of lessons and adjusted their organizational structure. It is no longer a spider-web-like structure, but basically has single-line connections, and they do not know each other's identities.

Greatly reduces the possibility of being uprooted.

"This list is very valuable." Li Ming thought, if it wasn't for chance, it would be really hard to get it.

The Oath Keepers fundamentally ignored the threat posed by Qinglong because it was Kaina who snatched him from the radicals, so they subconsciously believed that the radicals had already dealt with Qinglong.

Putting away the list, Li Ming glanced at the S-level life forms in front of him. He also learned the biggest secret - the fundamental reason why Adam was so popular and the Virgin Mary was hated by everyone.

When he was researching Adam's experience, he found that this guy's highlight was the large-scale crackdown on the Holy Mother Church after he ascended the throne.

At that time, his voice was not that strong, but the siege he launched against the Holy Mother Church almost achieved the point where one person’s call had a hundred responses.

But during the great encirclement and suppression, he failed to integrate all interstellar forces.

After interrogation, he understood that it was because of the core method of the Virgin Mary Church - reincarnation.

This is a method that only the three core members of the Holy Mother Church, namely the Oath Keeper, the Prophet, and the Virgin, possess.

Through special methods, the consciousness of a living being can be integrated into a newborn baby and temporarily sealed. It will gradually awaken from the age of ten and will be completely integrated with the original spiritual body by the age of eighteen, without any distinction between you and me.

If the interference of the original life form's consciousness can be reduced to a minimum, the reincarnated person can be transformed into a new life form perfectly, almost in a way of resurrection.

"Isn't this just possession of another's body..." Li Ming understood when he knew about it.

Once this secret is exposed, which civilization will allow the Virgin Mary Church to exist?

Who could bear it if their own sons and daughters turned into other people?

But in fact, this kind of reincarnation is not without cost and cannot be performed easily.

"This old organization really should not be underestimated." Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and his fear of the Holy Mother Church reached a new level.

“Are the three guys, Oath Keeper, Prophet and Mother, constantly reincarnating? It doesn’t seem like that…” Li Ming looked at the black sphere in the Tanwei’s hand. Does it have anything to do with this thing?

While it was thinking, the mechanical body had already sorted out everything, mainly some spaceship wreckage.

After some time, Li Ming managed to piece them together into a ship that could at least perform a jump state, allowing him to reach the nearest star gate in a short period of time.

.........

A few days later, a fleet appeared quietly nearby. They first released probes cautiously, then gradually explored, and finally dared to release radar.

When the commander saw the scene captured by the radar, his face was filled with horror. It took him a long time to react. His throat rolled and he quickly called the headquarters.

Soon, the majestic face of the Virgin Mary appeared on the big screen, and she said calmly: "Lecia, have you arrived at the coordinates?"

"Holy, Holy Mother, we just arrived and completed the preliminary survey." Lecia said in a hoarse voice, "But it's a little different from what we expected."

"What's wrong? Have they evacuated?" The Virgin Mary frowned slightly, but was not surprised.

“No…” Lecia opened her mouth, but before she could speak, her subordinate’s voice came: “The screen synchronization has been completed.”

As soon as the words fell, the pupils of the Virgin Mary on the big time screen suddenly contracted, "This...what's going on?"

She was shocked as she watched the images from the vanguard troops.
In the desolate universe, a large number of collapsed metal structures were floating aimlessly, some were twisted and deformed, some were shattered, and their surfaces were covered with cracks.

Some of the metal structures could still roughly recognize their original shapes. She was very familiar with them because this was the structure used in the mother nest.

"It was like this when we got here..." Lecia couldn't help but say.

The Virgin Mary's expression changed, and she said in a deep voice: "Go and confirm whether these materials are "black water alloy"!"

"Yes!" Lecia nodded and quickly sent someone to check.

Not long after, the prophet who had received the notice came hurriedly and looked at the scene on the screen with a serious expression, "The mother nest was destroyed?"

"Yes." There was a hint of fear in the Virgin Mary's expression. "It has been confirmed that it is black water alloy, which is the main material of the mother nest."

The prophet frowned and subconsciously speculated: "Could it be that the Oath Keepers' fog bomb deliberately destroyed the mother nest to make us think that they are in danger, and then secretly hide and study Li Ming?"

"No." A trace of bitterness flashed across the Virgin Mary's face, and she pulled up a few pictures showing various dead life forms.

The prophet's face was stiff - "Flora, Koch, Carly, Benson... are all S-level life forms!"

"Yes, these people are all the confidants of the Oath Keeper. She can't do this." The Virgin Mary said in a hoarse voice.

"If it's not her, then who is it?" The prophet asked subconsciously, and then he seemed to have the answer in his mind. His face changed drastically and he blurted out: "Qinglong?"

The Virgin Mary exhaled slowly, her expression changed: "Yes, I'm afraid it is Qinglong. We have been fooled by him again this time."

"He deliberately let Li Ming be controlled by my spirit, and then planned to find our lair?" The prophet also understood, his spirit still aching slightly, and said in horror: "He... still wants to catch us all in one fell swoop?" The Virgin Mary nodded suddenly, her voice cold and silent: "From the current point of view, I am afraid that this is the case, but I didn't expect that something unexpected happened in the middle, and he was taken away by the conservatives, and they died in his place."

"He..." The prophet was boiling with emotion, "He, he really has the ability to catch us all in one fell swoop?"

"Whether he did it or not, he did it." The Virgin Mary shook her head, and she was also slightly frightened in her heart, "If he was not sure, would he take this risk?"

The prophet stopped talking and looked at the ruins on the screen again, "The Oath Keeper was captured?"

"I don't know whether he was caught or killed." The Virgin Mary sighed. Her old rival met with misfortune, but she was not happy at all. After all, they all came from the Sisterhood.

The lips are dead and the teeth are cold.

"Then... Oath Keeper will disappear from now on. In that case, the Trinity..." The prophet's face changed slightly, and he was hesitant to speak.

"The Trinity is just a legend. Besides, we are so divided that it is impossible to achieve this." The Reverend Mother shook her head with a gloomy look. "The Oath Keeper made all kinds of plans, but she never thought that she would be able to prevent disaster for us this time. What a pity... the power in her hands."

The prophet's expression changed and he remained silent.

"Being targeted by Qinglong..." The Virgin Mary felt upset. Qinglong was hiding deeper and watching her in secret, which was really disturbing.

"You...is there any way you can get information about Azure Dragon?" The Virgin Mary looked at the prophet.

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

The prophet shook his head: "If I want to predict him, I must have relevant information, but this is almost impossible."

The Virgin Mary was silent for a moment, but suddenly said: "Alchemist Baron..."

The prophet looked over, seemingly puzzled.

The Holy Mother said in a deep voice: "This guy seems to know more about Azure Dragon than we do. Perhaps we can get some information from him. At least we don't have to be as ignorant as we are now."

"He has always wanted desire, so give it to him. We can also lend him the Black Goat Egg as long as he can provide useful information."

The prophet seemed to want to say something, but he didn't open his mouth.

.........

"The data is normal, no signs of degradation..." Levenbeck performed routine tests.

In the liquid tank, another Ryan prototype is being restored, but this time he has not undergone genetic modification, it is just an appearance prototype.

"If I can get the black goat's egg, maybe there will be a way to remedy the situation." He thought to himself. It was because of the Virgin Mary's contact not long ago that he thought of this method.

Thinking of this, he pondered again, "I don't know who has Li Ming now."

When I found out that Ryan's development potential was 0, I was really shocked and my fear of Qinglong was unprecedentedly high.

But after gradually calming down these days, another thought inevitably popped up in my mind.

What if the Sisters really succeeded this time?
As soon as this idea came into his mind, it took root in his heart. He wanted to prove immediately that Qinglong was not perfect and that he might have omissions, so as to dispel the shadow in his heart.

"Wait a little longer. If I ask now, it will seem like I'm impatient." Levenbaker shook his head.

However, before ten minutes had passed, he looked at the virtual screen in front of him in doubt and surprise. It was the Virgin Mary.

"Did they succeed?" Levenbaker thought subconsciously.

No, if you succeed, there is no need to contact me. Or do you want to cooperate with me?

With a vague expectation, he chose to answer the call, looking nonchalant: "Your Excellency, why are you contacting me again? Wasn't what I said last time clear enough?"

The Virgin Mary stared at him and suddenly asked, "Do you want it?"

Levinbeck frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Do you know who Qinglong is?" the Virgin Mary asked again.

Levenbeck's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"

The Virgin Mary was silent for a moment, "The conservatives have been penetrated, Li Ming is a trap..."

The expected ridicule did not come, and the Virgin Mary was surprised to see that the other party also fell into silence. After a long time, he uttered two words, "Qinglong..."

For some reason, the two of them suddenly felt a sense of sympathy.

It was indeed a trap... Levenbeck felt disappointed, and said, "You want to cooperate with me to fight against Qinglong?"

"No, it is not our goal to fight against him, nor is there any need for it, but we cannot be ignorant of him, otherwise any action we take will be restricted." The Virgin Mary shook her head.

Levenbeck was tempted. This was a good suggestion. Qinglong was hiding in the dark and was too disgusting. He didn't dare to show up.

"We have a special method. If you have the information state of Azure Dragon..." the Virgin continued, "perhaps, you can find his location."

"Huh?" Levenbeck was surprised, "Are you sure? He is a master craftsman."

"You really did?" The Virgin Mary's eyes sparkled. "What do you know? Who is Qinglong? What is your relationship with him?"

Hearing this series of questions, Levenbaker just sneered, "I do have it, but why should I give it to you?"

"I'll give you the desire, and I can also lend you the Black Goat Egg." The Virgin Mary didn't hesitate and said directly: "This is our greatest sincerity, can you cooperate?"

Levenbeck was surprised. He didn't expect the Virgin Mary to be so decisive. He had tried every possible way to borrow the other party's black goat egg, but the other party refused.

By some strange coincidence, he got it because of Qinglong.

Levenbeck also nodded, "In that case, I can indeed provide some information about Qinglong."

"Who is Qinglong?" The Virgin Mary asked again impatiently.

Levenbeck fell into a long silence, and finally shook his head, "If you can really find his location, I will tell you who he is."

The Virgin Mary stared at the other person coldly, and finally uttered one word, "Okay!"

Looking at the extinguished screen, Levenbeck stood there for a long time. The flesh and blood on the ground squirmed and presented a silver badge with a smooth surface. The silver texture exuded a unique texture.

There are two heads on it, standing one in front and one behind, one with a dignified and solemn expression, and the other shy and uneasy.

Levenbeck had a complicated expression. He stroked the badge with his palm. The blood-colored substance spread and the image on it was worn away. His tone was unclear. "Thank you this time, teacher..."
