This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 576: Upper, Middle, Lower, Three Strategies

This matter cannot be made too big in the early stage, otherwise it will be meaningless once the Empire and the Federation show their cards.

But it cannot be too small, otherwise it will not attract the attention of the Covenant.

It is best to involve X-level life forms, but the specifications cannot be too high.

"Tsk..." Li Ming frowned slightly. He needed to strike an extremely delicate balance in this matter in order to get the result he wanted.

"Need a perfect bait..."

He unconsciously swiped at the star map. There were very few candidates like this.

His information channels were not very good, so after a little thought, he contacted the Pioneer, told him his request, and asked him to use the Pioneer's intelligence network to search.

The four of them have reached a consensus in the deep dimension.

In the following period of time, all actions will block the Bleeding One, and all his permissions will be stripped away, which is equivalent to expulsion. All members of the organization have been notified.

At the same time, the Pioneers will be silent for a period of time to complete the reorganization of the underlying architecture and completely get rid of the influence of the Bloodfallen.

This is not difficult. In order to hide his identity, Adam mostly acts as a matchmaker and a behind-the-scenes pusher, and does not do much inside.

"If we want to solve the pressure of the three major civilizations once and for all, this is just one part..."

Li Ming's brain has hardly stopped thinking about solutions recently.

It is unlikely to completely defeat the three major civilizations, but stopping them is not as difficult as imagined.

For the current problem, he summarized three solutions: upper, middle and lower.

The next best option is to get the crown of Degras as soon as possible and then disappear.

However, due to the limitations of the King Trial, it is almost impossible to complete. When he can pass the Secondary Overlord Trial, he does not have to disappear and become useless.

The middle strategy is to unite the United Organization of Higher Life Forms and the Mechanics Association to form a balance of power with the three major Ming systems.

Although there are no major problems with the Mechanics Association, due to their overall strength, they mainly play a supporting role.

The main force is still in the United Organization of Higher Life Forms, but this organization is currently in disarray.

With the two old foxes, Gustav and Anatoly, it is very difficult to integrate those bastards and fight against the three major civilizations, but there is still hope.

The best strategy is to become an X-level life form and destroy everything.

This is only limited by time and genetic seeds. It is not a big problem, but it is not a small one either.

Don’t take the worst strategy. Combine the middle and best strategies, and use the middle strategy as the best one to delay time.

Li Ming wrote and drew on the virtual projection, circles and tree branches. "Once the news of Klonoa's death gets out, the situation should be much easier. It would be best to integrate the corpse into it and go with the flow. That would be the best strategy."

The prototype of this idea was naturally not created overnight, but was optimized through his constant thinking.

Thinking of this, he added a few more screening information to the navigator.

This matter needs to wait for the result, but his eyes keep falling on another matter.

"The Holy Castle..."

Li Ming couldn't help but think that although he could communicate remotely with the Holy Castle through his camouflage body and descend into it.

However, he himself did not know the true coordinates of the Holy Castle, which was a bit embarrassing.

Under the current circumstances, if he does not know the coordinates of the Holy Castle, there may be uncertain consequences in the future.
Maybe there is a plan to encircle him from behind, and the connection between him and the Holy Castle is not impossible to cut off.

"I must find a way to get the coordinates..." Li Ming pondered and opened the smart terminal.

As for where to get it, he already had a goal in mind.

Soon, he found the person he wanted to contact - Abel.

The other party had contacted him a few days ago. This was consistent with Abel's usual style. Whenever something big happened regarding Qinglong, he wanted to get the inside information first.

But at that time, Li Ming was busy with many things and ignored him for the time being. He only had time to respond today.

The communication link was not connected immediately, but Li Ming didn't care. He put it aside and prepared to develop the genetic seeds.

As a result, within two or three minutes, Abel responded, but the audio connection was connected and the white sound wave line kept vibrating.

"Li Ming?" He suppressed his voice.

"Your Highness, it seems inconvenient?" Li Ming raised his eyebrows, "Then let's contact each other later."

"No..." Abel responded quickly, "I'm in a meeting."

"Meeting?" Li Ming had a hunch, "Could it be related to my teacher?"

Abel was silent for a while before responding, "Yes, I am cross-checking the traces of your teacher's existence."

Li Ming was also silent, feeling that the atmosphere was awkward for some reason, but he quickly adjusted himself and asked, "Did you gain anything?"

"Not yet." Abel said perfunctorily for a few seconds before asking cautiously, "Are you Talos?"

"Oh?" Li Ming was quite surprised. "Your Highness's status has risen. He even knows about this kind of thing."

Abel was silent for a moment, then asked, "Klonoa is dead. Did you and your teacher do it together?"

Li Ming smiled and said, "Your Highness is not doing things in a decent way. Are you trying to get the information for free?"

Abel then added, "The three major civilizations have just held a summit meeting and are currently in contact."

Exchange one piece of information that can be inferred for another piece of information that can be inferred.

Li Ming thought for a moment and replied, "You can say that."

"That is to say, your teacher really has some ability to enter and exit the Holy Castle at will, and not through normal channels." Abel speculated openly.

"Is your teacher a genetically evolved being? Has he evolved to his limit?" Abel asked again, "How did he find the Saint Castle?"

Naturally, cooperation between the three major civilizations cannot be achieved simply by the leaders clapping their hands.

Intelligence, military, logistics and other related personnel must be contacted and various temporary departments must be established.

Every piece of information he obtains now can serve as a credit in the operation. No one is more advantaged than him to be able to trade directly with Li Ming.

The two had conducted intelligence transactions many times and had a basic level of trust.

"Hmm..." Li groaned. Facing this barrage of questions, he did not respond. Instead, he asked, "Actually, I also have a piece of information that I want to clarify."

"Tell me about it." Abel's voice was much more excited. He was not afraid of Li Ming's needs. The more needs, the better. "I want the coordinates of the Saint Castle." Li Ming said lightly.

"Ok?"

Abel's voice suddenly became much higher, and he sounded doubtful: "The coordinates of the Holy Castle? Your teacher doesn't know the coordinates of the Holy Castle? He didn't find the Holy Castle, but only used special means to descend?"

This one sentence allowed Abel to infer a lot of information, but Li Ming was not surprised. Since he was asked, he was prepared for this.

Abel was cheered up, this was important intelligence information.

He hesitated for a moment, and after a brief thought, he made his offer: "I want all the remaining lists in your hands."

"Everyone?" Li Ming sneered. "Your Highness's appetite is a bit too big. The coordinates of the Holy Castle are no longer a secret. Someone in the three major civilizations must know it. Even if I look for other people, it will only take more time."

"Your Highness, you are becoming more cunning and asking for too much."

Abel seemed indifferent to Li Ming's ridicule. "Although the coordinates of the Holy Castle are among the top leaders of the three major civilizations and are not a secret, it is not that easy for you to bring it down."

"How about this, I want the remaining half of what you have."

"Half..." Li Ming pondered, "By asking this question, you have already gotten important information for free. If it's half, it's still too expensive."

Adam's eyes flickered. The joint action of the three major civilizations was a good opportunity to gain merit. He and Li Ming would have more information to exchange next.

Thinking of this, he took a step back and said, "Well, I'll give you another message."

"The three major civilizations have begun to blockade your teacher. Is Sheffield preparing gene seeds for you?"

There was a gleam in Li Ming's eyes, and this group of people finally set their sights on Sheffield.

Abel added: "An X-level gene seed would not have been a big deal in the past, but the situation is special now. Anything related to Azure Dragon will be magnified."

Li Ming thought for a moment and then sent over a series of lists.

Adam was also very decisive and immediately sent the coordinates of the Holy Castle.

Both parties were satisfied. Abel couldn't help but sigh and even began to comfort him.

"You don't have to worry. Although the three major civilizations have united to deal with your teacher, if you are willing to join the empire, I promise that you will be treated very well, no worse than being a student of Qinglong."

"Your Highness has been doing really well recently. I will keep it in mind." Li Ming said meaningfully.

"It's not empty talk." Abel's heart was slightly shaken, and he quickly assured that if Li Ming was really willing to join his team, he would not mind paying a high price.

After a brief greeting, the two ended their communication. Li Ming transferred the coordinates sent by Abel into the star map. As the star map expanded and moved, it gradually settled on a remote area.

"So remote?" Li Ming muttered. This place is far away from civilized territory, and it is at least half a year away from the nearest star gate jump point.

However, the three major civilizations will definitely build new star gates nearby to facilitate back and forth travel.

"But it will probably take several months or even half a year for the Star Alliance and the Federation to be in place for the first time." Li Ming estimated.

The Federation and the Covenant are not reckless, and are unlikely to take action against him without first ensuring that they have sighted the Holy Citadel.

"This period of time is probably enough."

This is the advantage of the vast interstellar space. No matter what you do, it takes a lot of time to prepare.

"However, in Sheffield..." Li Ming thought of what Abel said and his face darkened.

……

On the top floor of Yeyue Biological Experiment Company, Sheffield sat behind his desk and laughed, "…Sir Caron, you must be joking. How could I dare to go against the three major civilizations?"

"Since you don't dare, why are you unwilling to hand over Azure Dragon to you the corpse of the star beast?"

On the screen, the life form named Karon had a cold expression, bluish-white skin, and fish scales crisscrossed between his cheeks.

"Ah..." Sheffield sighed, "I understand the current situation, but please put yourself in my shoes. Yeyue Company has always been a neutral organization. We just want to do business. Qinglong has already paid the deposit."

"I can push him away, but I can't give his things to you. Otherwise, how can I have any credibility? Isn't this asking for my life?"

"Neutral?" Caron sneered. "There is no such thing as neutrality, Sheffield. You have to think about it carefully."

"How about this..." Sheffield pondered, "How about I ask Chairman Gustavo and see what they say?"

"Heh..." Caron sneered, "If that's the case, then I won't force you, but I hope you can really turn down Qinglong's order."

"Sure, sure." Sheffield assured again and again. After the screen went off, the smile on his face gradually stiffened and then became expressionless.

"Father..." Monica stood at one side and raised her head with a hint of inquiry, "Are you really going to reject the order from Lord Qinglong?"

"It's not necessary." Sheffield shook his head indifferently. "It's just an X-level gene seed. It's not that important in the eyes of the three major civilizations. This is just part of the all-round blockade of Azure Dragon."

"I guess that all people or organizations that have had contact with Qinglong in the past will be warned not to take it too seriously."

Monica became increasingly puzzled. "In that case, isn't it too risky to continue preparing gene seeds for Lord Qinglong?"

"Risks?" Sheffield glanced at her daughter. "You can see the risks, but can't you see the opportunities?"

"Opportunity?" Monica hesitated. "Are you saying that Lord Qinglong has a chance to defeat the three major civilizations?"

She wasn't sure if this was the opportunity her father was talking about.

If that's the case, then her father is a little too optimistic.

Sheffield said calmly: "It is certainly difficult for Qinglong to do it alone, but... he is also the vice chairman of the Divine Craftsman and the Higher Life Forms United Organization."

"But..." Monica still didn't understand: "The Higher Life Forms United Organization is just a mess. As for the other two God Craftsmen, they probably won't support Qinglong head-on."

"Also, I heard that many X-level life forms have cut off their cooperation channels with the Mechanical Royal Court."

Sheffield did not comment. "Your news is a step behind. Now there is the latest news. An old friend of mine in the dimension world told me a few days ago that Chronoa, the forbidden life form that was frightened and fled by the Azure Dragon, died not long ago..."

The forbidden life form...is dead?
Monica was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath. No wonder her father was unwilling to completely cut ties with her.

Sheffield's eyes were dim: "Qinglong is gradually showing his ability. Those who cut ties with him in advance are a bunch of idiots. Just wait and see..."

Having said that, Sheffield glanced at the smart terminal on the table again, his expression slightly changed, "Qinglong is here."

He did not answer the call immediately, but just looked at Monica. He saw the black swan nodded and left the room.

Then, Sheffield answered the call, blue light intertwined, and the virtual projection of Qinglong appeared in the room.
