This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 470: The career advancement device Guixu stage turns out to be the Domination Trial?
"Won?"

The giant in the audience seemed to have crashed, his huge body was untied, but he had clearly taken a step forward and was already in front of the ring, laughing excitedly.

The next moment he returned to his original position, with a look of doubt on his face: "Did you really win?"

Then he appeared in front of the ring again, laughing, "Good, good, good!"

This was repeated several times before it stopped. In the end, the giant looked neither suspicious nor excited. He just stared at Li Ming on the ring.

The gray mist on the ring was surging, and everyone's eyelids were twitching wildly.

But in the end, I found that the gray mist had simply faded away, and I couldn't help feeling disappointed.

It was really hard for them to accept that Li Ming won like this.

In other words, anyone who wins except themselves will be met with hostility, which not only means that the other party has completely surpassed them in some way, but also that they will gain something unknown.

Silently, Li Ming fell from the ring. The giant had already walked in front of him, looking down at him with a bit of uncertainty, "How... did you win?"

Li Ming vaguely felt that the giant in front of him seemed a little different.

"It was just luck..." Li Ming explained in a low voice, forcing a smile, "The enemy was too strong, I didn't expect to win."

Everyone became more speechless. The giant suddenly squatted down, the wind and waves blew Li Ming's hair, and he seemed to be observing Li Ming carefully.

At this moment, everyone also discovered that this giant seemed a little different from before.

"Could it be that Li Ming passed the assessment, causing the stuck program to continue running?" Reynolds whispered.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter at this time. Come with me." The giant suddenly stood up again and turned around.

Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the giant did not default on his debt, so his effort was not in vain. Acting is also very mentally exhausting.

Seeing that the giant's figure began to dissipate, Li Ming quickly followed him. Ripples appeared in the space, and two figures, one big and one small, disappeared at the same time.

The scene before their eyes kept changing, and then gradually froze, spreading around them and finally turning into a spacious room. All kinds of utensils were quite large, and Li Ming looked like a little man.

"for you…"

Li Ming was still observing his surroundings when the giant in front of him suddenly turned around and threw something at him.

Li Ming was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and reached out to catch it.

This thing is not big, only the size of a baby's head. The metal shell has a soft luster and you can feel an unusual warmth.

It is beating faintly, and although the rhythm is not as regular as that of a biological heart, it has a unique rhythm.

[Heart of the Holy Spirit - Consumable: A symbol of Holy Spirit civilization, it has a special effect on the mechanical evolution system, giving it the potential to become a mechanical saint.

Control conditions: 2 billion metal energies
Control ability - Baptism: Consume control items to advance to mechanical related professions. 】

Li Ming raised his eyebrows. Mechanical evolution system? It should be the native evolution system of the Holy Spirit Civilization. In his hands, it has become a career advancement device.

Mechanical Son… Mechanical Son should be lower than Mechanical Holy Spirit. I wonder what level it is, X level? Or is it equivalent to entering the ultimate path?

Li Ming muttered to himself that he didn't know much about the Holy Spirit civilization, and there were very few records of its evolutionary system.

The last time he got promoted, he used something left by the forging hammer master. Li Ming thought that he had almost reached the limit of his mechanical profession.

"The Holy Spirit has perished, and you are not part of the relevant evolutionary system. This thing is useless. Just keep it as a souvenir."

The giant's words startled Li Ming suddenly. He looked up and saw the other's two big eyes staring at him.

"Do you know the situation outside?" Li Ming asked cautiously.

The giant sighed, "If you pass the test, I will be able to operate independently. What era is it in the outside world now?"

"Uh..." Li Ming didn't know how to answer. Everyone had a different calendar. He hesitated and said, "I guess the Holy Spirit Civilization has disappeared for hundreds of thousands of years."

"Has it been so long?" The giant was stunned and asked again: "What branch of Titan do you belong to? The blood concentration is so low."

"Titan branch? Uh... they seem to have been destroyed." Li Ming stepped back and said in a low voice.

"what?"

As expected, the giant was horrified. "The Titans were destroyed? How is that possible? Even if I'm at the Guixu Stage, it's impossible to completely destroy the Titans!"

"You lied to me!?" He stared at Li Ming with rich emotions and a hint of murderous intent.

Li Ming didn't know how much strength the other party could exert, so he quickly took out a smart terminal and said, "There is a lot of offline information here, you can check it yourself..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a large stream of data floated into the smart terminal from the surrounding space.

The giant was stunned for a moment, as if his spine had been pulled out, and he was completely dejected: "Actually, it's really gone?"

Li Ming silently put away the Heart of the Holy Spirit. This thing was stable and could be thrown into the folding space.

"I couldn't escape it after all, alas..." The giant shook his head with a painful look on his face.

Li Ming waited until his emotions stabilized before he spoke tentatively, "What do you mean by the Guixu period you just mentioned?"

"Guixu period?" The giant looked at him and shook his head, saying, "It's hard to explain."

Li Ming was speechless. It's already now, and he's still hiding it?
Unexpectedly, the giant said: "Look for yourself..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene around him suddenly collapsed, the fragments of space intertwined, and then gradually gathered into shape, streets came into view, and various buildings were in order.

There seemed to be meteors falling from the sky, but when he got closer, Li Ming found that they were mechanical bodies and living things, and their bodies were disintegrating into gray mist.

Li Ming did not recognize most of the mechanical bodies. He only recognized one type, which was the Giant God Soldier, and quite a few of them had fallen.

There seemed to be a great battle taking place in the starry sky, with colorful streams of light tearing the universe apart. Li Ming could not see clearly.

This seemed to be the scene when the Holy Spirit Civilization was destroyed. Li Ming looked around and felt heavy in his heart.

"Is this caused by Yongyuan?" Li Ming couldn't help but guess.

"Not sure." The giant shook his head and said sadly: "I am not a recorder, and I don't have more relevant information stored. I just happened to witness the last moments of the Holy Spirit Civilization."

Li Ming frowned slightly and couldn't help but speculate.

Guixu Period...Is it the period when the Yuan Clan launched large-scale killings?
But how come these dead mechanical bodies and living things all turned into that kind of mist?
Li Ming was not sure whether his guess was true or not. There was a dazzling light in front of his eyes, and the energy was fluctuating constantly. The terrifying aura fluctuations made Li Ming feel as if he was there.

He looked up in shock, and could only see a giant mechanical pillar that stretched from the sky to the ground. Looking further, he saw a giant mechanical body shining with brilliant golden light, and the metal texture on its surface was flowing with mysterious light.

Its body is so huge that it is immeasurable. The stars seem insignificant in front of it. Every detail shows the ultimate craftsmanship and majesty. It stands in the vast universe like a god, and the giant pillar is just a finger of the other.

The next second, the blazing energy covered everything, and the eyes were boiling, and they returned to the huge room. Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief, his heart pounding, Terrax's technical ability was really not to be underestimated.

Even if it is not an instrument specifically used for recording, it can create an immersive feeling.

"Okay, you can leave now." The giant waved his hand.

Li Ming looked hesitant and said, "Can I ask, is the difficulty of the Trial of Glory higher or lower than this?

The giant frowned slightly, "This is a trial of despair, more difficult than a trial of glory."

"What about the desperate trial?" Li Ming asked again.

The giant was a little impatient and frowned, "The Titans believe in personal strength, and there are many trials... What do you want to ask?"

Li Ming then said, "If from the beginning, you are fighting against two Yuan people of the same level, and in the end you have to defeat sixteen enemies, what kind of trial is that?"

"Trial of the Overlord?" The giant was confused. "This is a trial to select the successor to the Overlord. It is one of the top trials of the Titans. Why are you asking this?"

"Oh..." Li Ming suddenly realized that this was right.

The selection of the successor to the Lord is similar to that of the successor to the Holy Castle, that is, the trial of the Lord.

Li Ming explained: "Nothing, I just heard about it, so I was curious."

The giant was speechless, no longer wanting to talk any more, and waved his hands repeatedly, "Hurry up and go."

A vortex appeared behind Li Ming, and he nodded: "Thank you for answering my question."

The giant looked disappointed and did not respond.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, his expression changed slightly, "By the way, is there anything more difficult than the Domination Trial?"

The giant glared at him, and an invisible force controlled him to fly backwards into the whirlpool.

There was a strange light in front of him, and Li Ming vaguely heard a few words, "Trial to become a king."

"That was a trial based on the top level Yuan Clan. The blood concentration was so low, and there were so many questions..."

The vortex closed, the giant's face changed, the surrounding scene changed, but it was just a ruin. He became more and more dejected, "Everything has been destroyed, why do I still exist? Is it because of the randomness of the program?"

"Alas, it doesn't matter. The Holy Spirit has been destroyed, the Titans have disappeared, what value do I have in existing..."

.........

Outside, in front of the ruins, Mikhail and others have come out, their faces looking a little strange.

After a long time, Costat looked back and said, "Why hasn't Li Ming come out yet?"

Seeing everyone looking at him, Mikhail shook his head and said, "I only know that if you fail the test, you will be sent out. I don't know what will happen after you pass the test."

"I never thought that Li Ming would solve the problem that even the forging hammer couldn't solve." Reynolds said in amazement, "Why didn't I think of this before? I can try to catch a few low-level life forms. Maybe I can defeat them."

Hearing Reynolds's sigh, everyone's faces became more and more ugly, especially Crow and Gonzalez. They looked at each other, and Crow spoke up: "According to the prior agreement, the gains from this should be divided equally between us."

Dius said nothing, and Costate remained silent.

Reynolds's face changed slightly, and he snorted coldly: "Did you forget the last sentence? This is all earned by Li Ming through his own efforts. Why should we share it?"

"Whether to divide or not is not up to you. What do you think?" Klaue looked indifferent and turned to others.

Mikhail said calmly: "Everyone, there are still several unknown areas. Once this precedent is set, what should we do next?"

The other people's faces changed.

"Since there is an agreement in advance, let's follow it." Costat said first, and Dius nodded: "That's right."

Although they were also very curious, they also understood that Li Ming was the target now, and they might be the target later.

Unless you are sure you will gain nothing.

"In fact, according to the information we know, the Holy Spirit Heart is not that precious." Mikhail said, "We just entered an unfinished assessment process. This reward is for the original assessment subjects."

Everyone was silent. Lancaster's eyes moved slightly, and others also noticed something strange.

Turning around, I saw that Li Ming had appeared not far away and came out of the ruined building.

"Everyone..." Li Ming met many gazes and became extremely alert. Four mechanical kings walked out from behind him and protected him on all sides.

Qinglong’s mechanical body...Everyone had different expressions as they glanced at the several mechanical bodies around Li Ming.

"Four... Qinglong is really generous..." Costat pondered, touched the ring in his hand, pondered for a moment, but did not take any further action.

"Li Ming..." Gonzalez said with a cold expression, "Now, I need you to explain what you did behind my back?"

He still hasn't noticed anything wrong, but he always has a strange feeling in his body, but he can't find the source.

Claude's face suddenly darkened. "Yes, what are you doing secretly?"

The expressions of the others changed, and he suddenly remembered that during the trial, Claude and Gonzalez seemed to have made some strange noises.

Is it because of Li Ming?
The way they looked at Li Ming was inevitably a little strange.

"I..." Li Ming's face changed slightly, and he explained: "I didn't do anything."

"Bullshit!" Crow was angry. "I warned you again and again, but you ignored me. What else do you say you didn't do anything?"

"Then...please tell me clearly, what exactly did I do?" Li Ming seemed helpless.

"You..." Klaue held back, Gonzalez frowned.

They didn't know what Li Ming did behind their backs, but how could their own feelings about their bodies be wrong?
"Don't bother talking nonsense, the place is created through information mimicry. Except for the arena, all abilities are suppressed." Mikhail said calmly, "You are all X-level life forms, what can he do?"

Reynolds couldn't help but sneer: "I think you two are still ruthless and deliberately use this method to target Li Ming and snatch his Holy Spirit Heart."

Li Ming suddenly realized that this group of people seemed to have argued once. No wonder no one asked him about the reward at the beginning.

Reynolds and Mikhail are both really reliable.

"Reynolds!" Gonzalez was furious. "I think you are the ones making trouble here. We both feel it clearly..."

boom!
Before he could finish his words, the ground shook violently and a loud noise was heard from behind. Everyone's expressions became extremely alert.

Li Ming's heart skipped a beat. Who did it?
