This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 604 I haven't made a move yet
This question doesn't quite fit in with the current atmosphere.

Hemod was quite surprised and looked at Li Ming in front of him, "You don't seem to care about your own safety."

Li Ming acted calmly, "I think my life will not be in danger."

Eyes were fixed on him, and Hermod nodded in agreement. "Yes, you have amazing development potential. Perhaps you and I could become colleagues."

"Your teacher asked you to use yourself as bait many times, and I'm afraid he thought so. Many people would not kill you unless they had no other choice, but you must have some resentment in your heart."

Although it was obvious that he was trying to sow discord, Li Ming's reaction was very calm, "Your Excellency has not responded to my question just now."

"That's it." Hermod raised his chin slightly, indicating a certain direction, and spoke casually.

Li Ming glanced over and was not surprised. "It turned out to be Mr. Sven."

Anduin and Sheffield looked over with indifferent expressions, without any extra emotions. It was understandable that someone betrayed them.

Only Barbaro was shouting, "You are not even as good as Benito. You are such a loser."

Sven's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart, these people from the three major civilizations are really good-for-nothings. The dust hasn't really settled yet, and they don't help cover up for him.

He forced a helpless smile and said, "I can't help it. I can't really go head-on with the three major civilizations."

"How can I feel at ease with just one sentence from Lord Qinglong?"

"The people under my command have followed me for hundreds of years. I must give them an explanation."

He explained again and again, but everyone's reaction was very indifferent. After a few words, their shame and anger turned into resentment, and they said coldly:
"Don't look at me like that. Don't think I don't know what you guys are planning."

"If you see the situation is bad, you will probably run faster than me."

"In the end, we will all submit to the three great civilizations. I am not as strong as you, and I don't have as much influence as you. If I want to gain more benefits, I must face reality sooner."

"Besides, I am not Qinglong's subordinate, and Qinglong has never given me any benefits, let alone betrayal!"

"Be patient, no one is saying you are betraying me." Li Ming was a little helpless. "The word I used just now was 'surrender'. I am just curious about who leaked the information. I will never blame your choice."

Sven's face froze for a moment, and then turned ashen.

If Li Ming's reaction had been more annoyed and furious, perhaps he would have felt better.

But the other party's nonchalant reaction also indirectly showed that the other party did not take him seriously at all.

People from the three major civilizations looked at the internal strife in front of them with a smile on their faces. This was not the first time they had seen such a scene.

In the past, when people used their power to oppress others, they would naturally behave in an ugly way under such heavy pressure.

They also like to see it, and it is also a benefit for people as one of the three major civilizations.

"Who do you think you are to be teased..." Sven stared at Li Ming with grim eyes.

Before he could finish his words, a golden light flashed across his eyes, and Sven's heart skipped a beat.

Hermod said calmly, "Pay attention to your emotions. This person may very well be my future colleague."

"Sir Hermod, this matter has not yet been concluded."

People from the Empire and the Star Alliance are very unhappy, and it is still undecided who Li Ming will be assigned to in the end.

Sven almost choked on a mouthful of blood. Is this Hermod mentally ill? Who is one of them now?

Li Ming hasn't even joined the team yet, but you're already extending an olive branch?

His development potential is indeed very high, but is it necessary to reach this point now?

He was extremely angry, but the terrifying power emanating from the Kashmir Spear before him was like being pierced by needles all over his body. If he moved even a little, his life would be in danger, so he dared not resist at all.

I forced the unfinished words back into my stomach.

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, don't waste time. Qinglong has other means. The reason why he took so long to come here is that he is waiting for a certain opportunity."

Out of "convert fanaticism", after his identity was exposed, he immediately told everything he knew, hoping to put these people into an irretrievable situation.

When he was with a few people before, it was not convenient for him to contact the three major civilizations, so he could only wait until now.

"Oh?" Hemode took back the Spear of Kashmir and looked at Li Ming again. It was not unexpected information that Qinglong would take action. He came here because of Qinglong.

Compared to these people, they clearly knew that Qinglong had looted the Holy Castle base and should not be underestimated.

Knowing that he would not get an answer, he did not ask Li Ming and said calmly: "Let's get to the point first."

"Chaos Star Gap must be reshuffled. All of your subordinates must be handed over, and some of them also need to be reformed."

The so-called transformation is to implant the control methods of the three major civilizations, and life and death are controlled by others.

Sven pursed his lips slightly and said gloomily: "I suggest that we take these people down first, and then discuss it."

"You have no right to speak here." The imperial representative said calmly, "Your mission has been completed."

Thirty to five, with the Kashmir Guns among them, this was an absolute advantage. Naturally, there was no need to negotiate conditions. No one dared to say no to a direct wipe out.

However, clearing out the chaotic star gap is only a means, not an end.

Their purpose is to contain Qinglong, take revenge for the last challenge to the board seat, and weaken Qinglong's prestige.

It is easy to just catch and leave, but the effect cannot be maximized.

They need Anduin and others to surrender completely, and then prove to the outside world that even in the places where Azure Dragon has the greatest influence, their three major civilizations will bow down and worship wherever they go.

Sven certainly understood this truth. If his identity had not been exposed, he would not mind acting with the three major civilizations.

But these bastards exposed his identity right from the start. Even if Anduin and others were recruited later, they would definitely continue to target him.

And Qinglong will definitely regard him as a target to be killed.

Anduin glanced at Li Ming. Whether it was to delay time or to negotiate terms, he had to cooperate with the three civilizations.

"We cannot agree to this condition. We have already handed over all the people wanted for serious crimes. There is no need for any investigation."

In the virtual conference room, Adam said in a deep voice:

"Hemod, tell them that we are willing to take a step back. As long as they hand over the suspects and accept investigation, we will not take any further action against them."

Malcolm frowned subconsciously and looked at Adam, "What do you want to do? This doesn't go according to the plan."

The basic action plan had already been drawn up, but he couldn't understand why they had to give up when they had the upper hand.

"See how they respond." Adam did not respond directly.

"Just accept the review and it's fine?" Anduin became suspicious. "Does that mean we won't take any further action?"

Hermod frowned and responded, looking very reluctant.

"That's right. As long as you accept the investigation and hand over your people, we will not force you to join the three major civilizations, nor will we harm your interests. You can even continue to keep the Chaos Star Gap, as long as you are under our supervision."

As soon as the words were spoken, people from the three major civilizations began to murmur in confusion.

This is completely different from the original action plan.

They were so aggressive before, but in the end they slammed on the brakes?
Sven was stunned, breathing rapidly. If he had known the conditions were like this, would he have used the Azure Dragon with a backstab? This... Li Ming frowned slightly. The scene in front of him was not the same as he expected. This condition was too generous.

Anduin was also surprised. Could it be that it was Azure Dragon's doing, or that something unexpected happened in the outside world, forcing the three major civilizations to retreat?
He subconsciously speculated, but couldn't think of any other reason, and his eyes gradually brightened.

I guess it was Qinglong who really caused some trouble in the outside world.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the other party's attitude changed so drastically.

In this case, his eyes moved slightly, and he actually had some confidence, and said in a deep voice: "We can't accept the condition that we ourselves will also be investigated, and we will not hand over our people. At most, we will accept the investigation."

No... I haven't started yet, where do you get so confident?

Li Ming stared at Anduin. This guy seemed to have misunderstood something. He had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Hemode's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency had better understand the current situation."

boom!
The bottom of the Kashmir Spear slammed hard on the ground, and fine cracks spread. An invisible aura of solemnity enveloped every X-level life form present, and their hearts tightened.

"I see it clearly." Anduin frowned slightly, but did not back down, and even confronted him a little.

Sheffield seemed to understand, and he looked up and said, "It should be very lively outside now."

Why are you pretending to be so profound? It's so lively outside.

Li Ming was speechless, thinking rapidly in his mind. The scene before him was really weird, but he couldn't find any clue.

"Haha..." Barbaro laughed, clasped his fists, and looked sideways, as if he understood.

Sven's face turned pale, and seeing everyone's reactions, his heart sank to the bottom and he became more and more angry.

The three major civilizations are really useless. How could such a large force be controlled by Azure Dragon?

These guys have gone crazy. Are you sure we are the ones who have the upper hand?
The X-level life forms of the three major civilizations looked at each other, and some quickly checked their smart terminals.

I found that everything outside was calm and there was no unexpected change.

Hemod remained silent, his brows furrowed, and the scene seemed to be frozen.

The real confrontation takes place in another territory of the universe.

Tandin stood in the void, with boiling energy surging all over his body.

Alves' long hair fluttered and turned into a long chain of stars that disappeared into the sky.

Each strand of hair is as bright as a galaxy, and the light behind it interweaves into an inverted cross corona.

Because the two people were extremely close to each other, energy ripples were generated that tore through the void.

The faces of both men were extremely ugly, and the reason for this was the large area of ​​energy that was rising and falling not far in front of them.

They were some members of the united organization of higher life forms led by Gustav.

"How could this group of people really find this place? How could the coordinates be leaked!" Tandin's face was so gloomy that water could drip out. They were originally paying attention to the situation in the Chaos Star Gap.

But suddenly I found this group of people appearing nearby.

"I don't know." Alves' face was solemn. There were too many people in front of him.

There are also several evolved forms such as Gustave, Anatoly, Perkins, etc. who have gone very far on the road to the Ultimate.

Even if the two of them were put together, they couldn't handle this group of people.

“If I’m exposed at this point in time, it might be very…” He suddenly stopped, his pupils slightly contracted, and his heart trembled.

"It should be impossible..." He murmured to himself, "If that's the case... Qinglong..."

Those who were even more confused than them were Gustav and others.

"Tandin, Alvis? Why are they here?"

"It seems like we really found a big fish."

"Could it be the Red River Star Stream incident?" Someone's mental fluctuations came, and some people who didn't react changed their expressions slightly.

I'm afraid it was that incident... Gustav's heart couldn't help but be moved.

Although it has been a long time since the secret of the deep Red River Star Stream was revealed, there are still many people who are paying attention to this matter.

However, the Federation and the Empire were on high alert, and even the Covenant failed to find any clues.

Unexpectedly, by some strange coincidence, he would be the first to find it.

"This matter requires careful planning... There must be a big secret..." Anatoly's voice came, and greed was also revealed in his eyes.

"Well, the Star Alliance doesn't even know about it right now... If it gets out, it will probably cause a series of huge turmoil..." Gustave responded, but before he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

His body stiffened as if he was struck by thunder. A series of things emerged in his mind and then became a thread at this moment.

Knowing the coordinates does not mean knowing the secret.

But it must be a perfect opportunity, and the Covenant will definitely take this opportunity to force the Alliance and the Empire to reveal the real secret.

But what happens now?
The coalition forces of the three major civilizations are currently in chaos in the star gap. Once the Star Alliance learns of this news, there will definitely be a reaction.

Naturally, the Empire and the Alliance were reluctant to reveal this secret easily. After all, it had been protected for so long.

Countless costs have been invested before, and sharing them now is equivalent to letting the Star Alliance get them for free.

But as long as they pull each other a little, will the coalition still be a coalition?

At this moment, he understood the whole thing, but his face became frightened and uneasy.

An expressionless figure appeared in my mind.

Qinglong!

It must be Qinglong!

This place should have been extremely secretive and should not be known to anyone, but he happened to find it at this time. It was all too coincidental.

He suddenly turned his head, and his spiritual power surged like a boiling sea, "Everyone, stop what you are doing, and don't pass on the news here!"

Everyone was at a loss. Gustav was extremely anxious. He looked around and his heart sank to the bottom.

Igor disappeared at some point.

.........

"Adam, the situation is so good, why do you suddenly want to give in?"

In the virtual conference room, Malcolm frowned, as he was very unhappy with Adam's unauthorized decision-making.

Moreover, he was secretive and refused to reveal his real purpose.

"These guys seem to think that Qinglong has taken action." Gutierrez said, staring at the screen.
