This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 500: Get rid of Klonoa? I don't believe it

After changing his mind, he chatted with Ulrich for a few more words and prepared to arrange the mechanical body.

"Wait..." Li Ming suddenly stopped him again, thinking, "Distinguish this batch of mechanical bodies from the previous ones."

"From now on, recall some of the previous mechanical bodies every month and wait for me to deal with them together with the stored mechanical bodies."

Ulrich was stunned when he heard this, and was obviously a little confused, but he still nodded.

Li Ming then turned and left. Those mechanical bodies did not have the characteristics of holy spirits, but after all their hard work and contributions, many of them had already developed quite high intelligence and should also become holy spirits.

This can also avoid internal conflicts between mechanical bodies.

A mechanical body that has been constructed cannot be reconstructed, but the ability of the Mechanical Holy Spirit is mainly bestowed by the [Creator of the Race].

After returning to the room in the base, Li Ming upgraded the X-level gene essence absorbed from Ivan. Only three of his S-level gene essences were left to be upgraded, and the development speed had exceeded seven hundred times.

However, not long after he started developing the gene seeds, his smart terminal began to vibrate continuously, indicating that someone was contacting him.

"Blackbeard...finally there is news." Li Ming took it, glanced at it, and his heart moved slightly.

Ever since Li Ming, under the impetus of the Bloodfallen One, gained a certain say within the Pioneers.

Under his instructions, the Pioneers' focus has always been on the Star of Eternal Silence.

Before he went to the ruins of the Holy Spirit Civilization, it was only a group of S-level life forms led by Blackbeard who explored the deep dimensional world.

And now, in addition to the Bloodfallen who is suspected to be Adam, and the Guide who is confirmed to be Florian, the Navigator has already set off three months ago, and the Forger has also invested considerable manpower.

The first thing Li Ming did after coming out of the Red River Star Stream was to look through Blackbeard's message, and then try to contact him, but there was no response until now.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind as Li Ming answered the call.

A virtual screen popped up, and Blackbeard's big face appeared. He looked haggard, with tired eyes. The shiny black beard that he usually groomed was now disheveled.

His voice was dull, but also had a sense of relief, "Sir Qinglong, I finally got in touch with you."

Li Ming couldn't help but ask: "What's going on? You don't look good."

"Ah..." Blackbeard opened his mouth, sighed, and smiled bitterly, "Something unexpected happened."

"I read your report, which only covers the period two months ago. You said that you found important clues?" Li Ming switched pages and called up the conversation records.

"Yes..." Blackbeard nodded, "Three months ago, due to the impact of the Red River disaster, we found a narrow passage that seemed to be accessible near the Red River Basin in the deep dimensional world."

"We didn't intend to explore directly, but the navigator came. He thought this was an opportunity. The impact of the Red River disaster might last for a long time, so he forced us to enter it."

"Oh?" Li Ming was surprised, not because the navigator asked them to go in and explore.

It was because the navigator set an example by going in himself.

The Red River Basin in the dimensional world has a completely different structure from the main universe. It is more chaotic and more dangerous.

Based on this point alone, there is really nothing to criticize about the Navigator.

Blackbeard continued, "We had no choice but to go deeper into it. When we got closer to the core area, we did find clues. Some of the nearly solidified space-time domains were obviously not caused by the Red River Star Stream."

"Mr. Navigator was very excited at the time, and intended to find the Star of Eternal Silence in one go." When he said this, Blackbeard's eyes trembled, and he looked vaguely frightened.

"But who knew that we suddenly lost our way and fell into an unknown place."

"There is no concept of time and space there. It is completely dark and surrounded by invisible barriers. It is extremely hard and cannot be opened no matter what."

"Not only that, there seems to be some unknown creatures moving around, killing six of our companions. Your Excellency the Navigator cannot completely protect us."

When Blackbeard mentioned it now, he still felt a lingering fear. He hadn't experienced that kind of despair for a long time.

"Hmm?" Li Ming showed some interest: "Fell into an unknown place?"

It is speculated that they may have fallen into the Eternal Abyss, and those unknown creatures are probably the Abyss Clan.

However, considering the strength of the Yuan Clan, the Navigator could not possibly be their match. How could only six people die?

Is it because most of the Yuan people have not started their activities?
"How did you get out?" Li Ming asked again.

"I don't know either." Blackbeard shook his head helplessly, "We were almost in despair at the time. Even the Navigator was powerless. We could only wait to die."

“We don’t know how long we waited in there, but we know that suddenly there was a loud noise, and a big hole appeared in the invisible barrier, and we came out.”

When he said this, Blackbeard was also very confused. He didn't know how to get in, and he didn't know how to get out.

After all, they are S-level life forms, and they can call the shots in the main universe, but there, they are like ants.

"It took me some time to return from the core area, so I contacted you as soon as possible."

Li Ming's eyes lit up slightly, as if he was thinking about something. The loud noise should be caused by the corpse of the Overlord-class Titan rushing out, and it might even be related to Levenback.

It formed a linkage. If it weren't for the corpse, this group of people would probably have been trapped to death.

Blackbeard continued: "After we came out, we found that the Red River Disaster had actually erupted. A large part of the things in the core area were washed out."

"The Empire is conducting an emergency screening. We suspect that the Star of Eternal Silence may have been washed out as a result."

"However, the forbidden life form, Chronoa, has reached a cooperation with the Empire. It uses its own aura to help the Empire screen, which is equivalent to forming a restricted area. We can't even get close."

Blackbeard's face changed. Not only Chlonoa, but many people were also frightened by this advance and began to retreat.

"The Star of Eternal Silence may also be washed out?" Li Ming couldn't help but frown. The impact of the Red River disaster seemed to be greater than he had imagined.

The Empire is going to get this for free, and this Chronoa...

Li Ming was thinking about it when Blackbeard said, "Also, the Navigator asked me to inform you that he is waiting for you at the Pioneer Council."

"Oh." Li Ming raised his eyebrows and nodded, "I understand."

After ending the communication, Li Ming found the ring given to him by the Pioneer from the control page, and then took control of it and activated its ability.

The next moment, the scene in front of him collapsed like glass, and then gradually gathered together, but it did not descend on the Iron Throne Hall.

This is a small space with only five seats. Black shadows are floating on the other four seats, which belong to the core meeting.

"You're finally here." The navigator spoke with a hoarse voice, totally unlike his previous ambitious state, but rather a little tired, "Blackbeard has reported to you."

"Yeah." Li Ming nodded and glanced at the Bleeding One. After realizing that the Bleeding One was equal to Adam last time, he no longer had any hope for this pioneer.

The enemy was inside, and it was the founder, so there was no way to deal with it. He didn't want to do anything inside the pioneers, such as expelling the blood-fallen ones.

Of the other three guys, he only knew the identities of Florian.

Doing such petty tricks will do more harm than good and waste energy.

For the time being, he couldn't figure out what role Adam wanted him to play, so he simply used the Pioneer as a means to disgust the other party and kept his eye on the Star of Eternal Silence.

"A major change has occurred in the dimensional world. What happens next will not be a small matter, so we need to discuss what to do?" There was fatigue in the navigator's voice.

"I suggest that we temporarily shrink the situation," said the Bloodfaller. "We suffered heavy losses this time, but gained almost nothing. We need to rest and recuperate for a while."

The Star of Eternal Silence is Adam's lifeblood. This is a loophole that was left behind accidentally. Li Ming will naturally not let him get what he wants. He immediately said:
"No, I think that instead of resting at this moment, we should increase our efforts."

The navigator couldn't help but be surprised. He thought Qinglong and the Bloodfaller were in cahoots and had severely suppressed him last time.

Didn’t we discuss this time?

"This..." The Forger hesitated. "What the Bloodfallen One said makes sense. Our advantage lies in the dark, not in confronting the Empire head-on."

"They won't confront the empire head-on, and they can't invest too much energy in it." Li Ming hinted.

"What do you mean?" the Caster asked repeatedly.

"Well, it seems to be because of the Red River disaster." The guide added that Florian had been deep into the Red River Star Stream and knew a lot about this matter:

"Although the Red River catastrophe lasted for a short time, its intensity was extremely shocking. However, no one knows what exactly was washed out. At least 80% of the life forms that rushed into the deep were wiped out without a trace."

"This mortality rate is wrong, and someone has seen Imperial and Federation fleets stretching for tens of thousands of kilometers."

Li Ming smiled silently. There is no impenetrable wall in the world, especially inside the Red River Star Stream.

There was no way to collect the huge corpse, so they had to use a large fleet to transport it.

At this point, a large number of life forms rushed into the Red River Star Stream, causing frequent accidents and causing quite a stir.

It depends on how long the Empire and the Federation can hide.

"Something is happening in the main universe too." The navigator was suspicious and said, "Qinglong, do you know something?"

"I don't know the specific situation, but this matter is definitely not simple, and it involves a part of the empire's energy." Li Ming shook his head, "So I said this is a good opportunity."

"I agree." The navigator was the first to agree this time, but then he said, "But shouldn't you guys also contribute a little? I'm the only one going deep into the Red River Star Stream this time."

The Bloodfallen said in a deep voice: "I don't agree to send more forces. Chronoa has already cooperated with the Empire. In the deep dimensional world, we have almost no resistance."

"So, you guys figure it out on yourselves." His attitude was very direct.

The Forger hesitated: "Klonoa is indeed a trouble. If he is not here, we can try to carry out this matter."

"I will deal with Chronoa." Li Ming said calmly, "Can Your Excellency the Forger go?"

"Deal with Chlonoa?"

As soon as these words were spoken, not only the Forger, but also the other three shadows began to stare at him with a real gaze.

What level is Chronoa?
In the dimensional world it is in, it is almost invincible, and in the deeper dimensional world, it can also expand with extremely strong power.

Get rid of him? Is that such an understatement?

"What I mean is that he should not cooperate with the empire." Li Ming added.

Several people were still in shock and doubt. This seemed to be not much different from the previous sentence. Why should Chlonoa listen to you?

Everyone was quite suspicious, and the one who lost blood was even more speculative.

Qinglong's words were too confident. Could his strength be so high that he could make Chlonoa defect?
He doesn't believe it.

"This..." The Forger hesitated for a moment, and said, "If Lord Qinglong can do this, as a member of the Pioneers, I am willing to go."

The guide Florian also said: "I am willing to go, but I need to wait for a while."

“Sir Bloodfaller…” Li Ming grinned secretly and said calmly, “The Pioneers have always been a minority that obeys the majority. Even if you don’t agree to send more forces, you should still make some efforts.”

"That's right." Although the navigator didn't know what the conflict between the two was, he didn't mind finishing them off.

"I will do my best to get some information from within the empire." The Bloodfallen One said calmly, "I will provide off-site assistance."

This was a bit perfunctory, and everyone was secretly surprised. In the past, those who had lost blood would never have this kind of attitude. They were always very positive no matter big or small things.

But in this matter, something always feels wrong.

"As for Chlonoa, I am waiting for good news from His Majesty the Azure Dragon." After the Bloodfallen One said this, the shadow on the Iron Throne disappeared.

Adam's eyes flickered slightly, he stroked the black ring on his finger, frowned and said: "Let Klonoa stop cooperating with us?"

The Star of Eternal Silence is one of the few loopholes, but Qinglong keeps staring at it, making the role of the Pioneer half useless.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, but he quickly suppressed it, opened the smart terminal, and found Costat.

……

On the other side, Li Ming also logged off from the Iron Throne Hall.

And immediately, someone contacted him again.

"Just wanted to contact you..." Li Ming shook his head. After answering the call, there was only a black sound wave line, accompanied by an old voice: "Mr. Qinglong."

"Sir Florian, I finally waited for you." Li Ming said with a smile, "It has been half a year."

Florian couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and his voice became a little weaker. "It's not that I didn't contact you on purpose, but something unexpected happened with what I promised."

Li Ming frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Our people did obtain relevant information about the World Blood," Florian explained, "but something unexpected happened during the evacuation and they were discovered by the enemy."

"We suffered heavy casualties and lost most of our data."

Florian was also helpless when he received the news, because this was what he promised to give to Qinglong.

He made a solemn promise at first, but something unexpected happened when his subordinates carried it out.
