This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 636 Target Locked - Qinglong
"finally reached…"

Li Ming had been paying attention to the coordinate information and had already estimated the approximate arrival time.

Therefore, he checked it as soon as the report information came in.

The elemental particles surging throughout his body entered a state of stagnation. Li Ming stretched his limbs and could not wait to walk out of the Heavenly Palace and headed straight for the spacecraft dock.

Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared, and the strongest fighting force is himself.

Driving an inconspicuous small spaceship, he plunged into the star gate inside the royal court.

Because the Chaos Center was located near the Mechanical Royal Court, Ulrich built a stargate passage specifically for use by members of the Royal Court for the sake of confidentiality.

Now, near the Mechanical Royal Court, there are six giant star gates operating synchronously, distributed in various directions to avoid mutual interference.

However, even so, it is often congested due to excessive flow of people.

He needs to go to Anduin's base first. The stargate construction team starts from Anduin's territory. It is a linear node and can only start from him.

When returning from the Holy Castle before, he got off the car halfway and did not jump directly to Anduin's base.

When Li Ming arrived, he had already informed Anduin. The other party was waiting in front of the star gate node and temporarily closed it, so there was no one near the star gate.

Seeing the inconspicuous little spaceship floating out of the giant stargate, Anduin's eyes lit up slightly and he rushed over immediately.

After boarding the spaceship, he was slightly stunned. "No one?"

"Sir Qinglong..." He looked around but received no response.

His eyes flickered slightly, and runes emanated from his fingertips, spreading to every corner of the small spaceship, but there was still no response.

"Where are the people?" Anduin's eyelids twitched.

"Anduin..." At this moment, a sudden voice came from the side.

Anduin was startled and turned his head suddenly. He saw the Azure Dragon standing at the edge of the wall.

When? Anduin's face changed, and he hesitated to speak, "Sir Qinglong...you..."

"I didn't hear it just now, sorry." Li Ming responded casually.

Didn't you hear me? Can you be more ridiculous?

Anduin was speechless, knowing that the other party did not want to explain, so he had to get to the point:
"The stargate passage leading to the designated coordinates is ready. It is estimated that it will only take five days to arrive."

"Thanks to your help." Li Ming couldn't help but say, if it weren't for Anduin's Stargate Construction Team, he would have wasted nearly a year on a round trip.

And the Holy Castle moves so slowly that the delay might be even longer.

This made him want to hire a group of similar workers under his command.

"You are too polite." Anduin waved his hand generously, and then said hesitantly: "The coordinates are far away from the interstellar civilization area, quite remote... Where are you going..."

Although he didn't finish his words, Li Ming understood and responded calmly: "Go find something there."

"I see..." Anduin saw that Qinglong was unwilling to say more about this matter. Although he was curious, he did not continue to ask.

He then brought up the recent hot topic of "Release of Mechanical Seeds" and took Qinglong to another star gate.

"The qualification to be the sales agent of the Mechanical Seed is in short supply. If it weren't for your Excellency's favor, the two master craftsmen probably wouldn't have given it to me." Anduin mentioned this with emotion.

Even if it is just an agent sales, most of the profits will be taken by the three great craftsmen, but not everyone can get the distribution qualification.

The apparent profit is only one aspect. Along with the release of the Mechanical Seed comes a terrifying influx of people.

This means that as long as you get this qualification, you can extend your tentacles into almost any civilization, eliminating a lot of preliminary work.

It is a perfect tool for Anduin, who is determined to get out of the chaotic star gap.

"We are all friends, and we help each other." Li Ming responded casually, but then he remembered that the release of the Mechanical Seed was just around the corner.

Mikhail had even specifically reminded him that he didn't know if he could make it back in time.

Li Ming murmured in his heart, but didn't care too much. He would just go for a projector when the time comes.

Chatting along the way, the two soon arrived at the star jump gate.

Looking through the porthole, Li Ming's face under the metal mask couldn't help but look a little surprised.

What appeared before his eyes was a large array of star gates, densely packed together, with a rough estimate of no less than five hundred in number.

"With so many star gates..." Li Ming couldn't help but ask, "Have you solved the mutual exclusion problem between the star gates?"

"That's about right..." Anduin's tone couldn't help but carry a hint of pride. There weren't many things that surprised Qinglong.

"The star gates here lead to many places. Some are blind spots of large civilizations, and some are Jedi in the universe..." Anduin introduced them, and said, "You are the first outsider to come here."

"It's an honor." Li Ming looked around as the spaceship he was riding on was gradually being towed towards one of the star gates.

"You are joking, sir..." Anduin smiled but shook his head.

"Why not use a large star gate for unified management?" Li Ming asked.

Anduin explained: "This can be regarded as my stargate experimental factory. I often use them for experiments, such as stargate fusion and mobile stargate..."

"So they often break down, and using large stargates is expensive."

Li Ming suddenly realized that the spaceship was already hovering in front of the star gate.

Anduin did not continue chatting. After saying goodbye to Qinglong, he got off the spaceship and watched it float into the star gate.

.........

Boom!

The battleship kept swaying, warnings kept blaring, and the flashing red lights made the corridor look terrifyingly scarlet.

The wolf-eaters, wearing tattered combat uniforms, fell and sat down in the corridor, hissing sounds of pain coming from their long and protruding mouths from time to time.

Buzz--
The metal portal at the end of the corridor opened, and a burly figure walked out. He was wearing heavy and mottled combat armor, with thick brown-black hair on his face and eerie green eyes.

Seeing the scene in the corridor, he couldn't help but curse: "A bunch of rubbish, hurry up and stand up, the battleship just shook a little and it became like this."

Wherever he passed, the guys lying on the ground stood up hurriedly.

"Damn, what the hell is going on? Why did you suddenly break out of the warp state?" He pushed the door open and entered the cab, asking in a muffled voice, "Did you run into those inspectors?"

"Boss..." Someone quickly stood up and responded, "It wasn't the Inspector. It seems that we were disturbed by some kind of extremely heavy gravity, which pulled us out of the transition state."

"Interference?" The burly wolf's eyes were full of ferocity. "We have been sailing along this route for four or five years and have never encountered any problems. How come there is interference all of a sudden?"

"I don't know, but the detection spectrum shows that it seems to be a massive black hole." The subordinate called up the view.

In the center of the many twisted wavy lines is a dark area that seems to swallow up everything.

"Don't let me look at these pictures. I can't understand them. Tell me what they are." He said patiently. "Uh... For the specific situation, we can only go and see..." the subordinate whispered.

"Let's go." The boss did not hesitate. This waterway was his way to make money and no accidents could happen.

The fleet headed towards the target and arrived at the designated area in just over half an hour, with the sight eyepiece continuously zooming in.

The wolf boss' pupils contracted, cold sweat ran down his face, and he asked in horror: "What is that thing?"

"No, I don't know. It seems, it seems to be a living being..." The people under his command also widened their eyes, staring blankly at the virtual screen in front of them.

In the desolate starry sky not far away, there was a "corpse" floating. It was sturdy and strong, with fine cracks all over its body, and it was holding a weapon that looked like a trident in its hand.

The body can only be observed through the eyepiece; the existence of this body cannot be detected by any other means.

"I've made a fortune!" The wolf boss's throat rolled, but he suddenly froze and shouted in surprise: "Where are the people?"

The people around also woke up as if from a dream, and saw that the corpse on the virtual screen had disappeared without knowing when.

The next moment, everyone felt a dazzling light suddenly explode in front of their eyes.

The attack came so suddenly that no one could react. A flash of black light, so dark that even naked eyes could not see, passed through the fleet.

Balls of fire exploded, but were compressed into red spheres by an extremely strange force, and then gathered towards the center.

Standing in the center was Tanus holding a trident. The red sphere silently sank into his body. A strange black light bloomed in his eyes, and a lot of information intertwined in his mind.

"Empire, Federation, Covenant... the path of genetic evolution..."

He began to understand the current era of evolution. After a moment, he completely digested the information and a name emerged in his mind - "Qinglong"

Tanus frowned slightly. The appearance of this race of creatures called humans completely matched the ones given to him by the Abyss Lord.

However, according to the memories of those life forms just now, its life level has completely reached the "Abyss General Level", which is the so-called "X-level life form" level in this evolutionary era.

He also found several videos in the memories of these people. The most shocking one was a battle between a giant mechanical body.

This battle took place more than half a year ago and was called the "Chaos Star Gap Siege". It is one of the most watched events in this evolutionary era.

The protagonist was Qinglong, and Tanus was quite familiar with the methods he used. He had seen them at the end of the last evolutionary era.

His strength performance is quite impressive, and in some aspects he has reached the level of Abyss King, which is the ultimate level of life form.

And there are also weapons that have been seen before, which belong to the Titans of the previous era. The two together should not be underestimated.

But Lord Yuan had told him before that the other party's evolutionary level had not reached level X.

There was an error in the information, and Tanus subconsciously raised the trident named End in his hand, ready to tear the space to report to the Lord of the Abyss.

However, he had raised his hand but then stopped. A sharp pain swept through his body, and his right hand holding the trident was shaking.

"My injuries are getting worse..." Tanus was helpless. The Abyss Lord knocked him down to an X-level life form, but he was injured again during the shuttle process and his strength declined again.

"I need to recover from my injuries first..."

The strength of this Azure Dragon is beyond imagination. Tanus does not want to act rashly and prepares to recover from his injuries first.

However, other thoughts inevitably arise in my mind.

Could it be that Master Yuan was mistaken? Otherwise, how could the difference in strength be so huge?

Suddenly, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He actually had such an idea. His expression changed and he collected his thoughts.

Looking at the battleship that he had left behind, a sense of curiosity rose in his heart.
"Why does Lord Yuan attach so much importance to this life form?"

……

The scene in front of him gradually became clear. After sixteen jumps, Li Ming finally arrived at the last star gate node.

Most of the members of the Star Gate Construction Team have returned, and only a few are still here guarding to ensure that the Star Gate passage can operate stably.

Li Ming did not show up, but just let the mechanical body simply greet them. These people were also very well-educated and did not ask any questions.

“…Well, it will take at least ten more days of sailing…” Li Ming looked at the star map.

Of course, he couldn't open the star gate directly to the door of the Domination Laboratory. This coordinate was still quite a distance away from the Domination Laboratory.

However, it was not too far away. It only took a little development of the gene seeds for ten days to pass.

Halfway through the journey, he temporarily abandoned the spacecraft and sailed alone.

The possibility of the spacecraft being exposed is much greater than his own.

For this operation, he also specially created an X-level control object specifically for lurking.

[Hidden Cloak--X level: The hidden equipment tailored for Li Ming by the master craftsman
……

Control effect: Concealment is increased by 50 times

Control Ability - Invisibility: Gain a hundred times the invisibility buff and gain the ability to "Invisibility". 】

[Invisibility: Allows you to enter the information state, allowing you to directly pass through various blockades.]

He has already been experimented on by Anduin, and it is difficult to detect with the other party's ability.

Li Ming quietly switched control objects and entered stealth mode, and soon discovered the patrol spaceship wandering around the periphery.

Naturally, these spaceships could not detect his trace, so they easily bypassed them and soon saw the Dominant Laboratory floating in the universe.

The entire structure is made of silver-white metal and looks like an oval fortress.

"It's not hidden in the void?" Li Ming couldn't help but be surprised, based on what Anduin and others said.

Last time, the Domination Laboratory was hidden in the void, and they didn't find it at first. It was only after Tandin and Alvis jumped out that they realized it.

“Hmm…” Li Ming’s eyes flickered, he thought for a moment, and did not act rashly.

His current development progress has reached 85%, and the energy level is close to 2X.

And because the Kashmir Spear was added to the control sequence, strength, speed, stamina and defense were each increased by 200 times. All kinds of control data increased dramatically.

Just under normal circumstances, with the superposition of various abilities, the power blessing is 900 times, and the combat energy level can reach 1700X.

The embodiment of the Kashmir Spear, combined with the ability of infinite hammer, has 3400X.

This combat energy level far exceeds any X-level life form known so far.

This is not to mention the various abilities of controlling objects, the absolute control of the Star of Eternal Silence over lower-level life forms, and the 100% defense penetration and hit rate of the Spear of Kashmir.

Theoretically speaking, even if he charged straight in, probably no one could stop him.

However, this is a place that the three major civilizations value very much after all. They have not relaxed their research on the corpse of the master, and who knows what new methods they may come up with.
