This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 645: The Trinity Concept
Metal energy slowly flowed into it. This repair was not to mend the cracks, but more like a reorganization.

The twelve crystal faces of the diamond-shaped core split open at the same time, revealing a sophisticated gear matrix inside each facet, engraved with extremely dense electronic patterns.

Wherever the metal energy spreads, all the tiny parts begin to glow again, and golden liquid alloy is pumped out from the core axis, condensing into a glowing network of nerve bundles.

The central energy hub was ignited, and a projection of a gear train similar to that of a mechanical clock appeared on the surface of the core. Each rotating gear shadow was lifelike.

As 15 billion metal energies were immersed in it, the entire core finally burst into a platinum halo similar to nuclear fusion ignition.

The broken facets are reassembled, and every crystal edge on the surface reflects the flawless mechanical beauty.

The Holy Spirit Core has been repaired.

[Holy Spirit Core--Special Type: Forged by the Hammer Master using the broken heart of the Ultimate Mechanical Body.

……

Control Effect——Mechanical Holy Spirit: Absorb the mechanical body and form a mechanical holy spirit. 】

The description changed drastically, revealing the raw material used for the forging hammer. It turned out to be the broken heart of the Ultimate Machine.

“No wonder Mikhail hasn’t been able to reproduce the Mechanical Holy Spirit after so many years of research…” Li Ming couldn’t help but say, without such important materials, it would be impossible to reproduce it.

He stared at the core in his hand and couldn't help feeling it was extremely gorgeous. The beauty of the machine was displayed to the fullest.

"If it is repaired to a complete state, as long as the mechanical body is sufficient, the ultimate mechanical body can probably be born..." Li Ming thought.

He calculated that the number and strength of the mechanical bodies required would reach an incredible level. He estimated that the number of Reynolds and Mikhail combined might not be enough.

"Just build it slowly..." Li Ming was not in a hurry about it.

He played with it, unable to let it go, and another thought came to his mind, "This thing shouldn't be something that I have to control to use..."

The forging hammer definitely didn't have a control system at the time, so if this thing was taken out directly, it would definitely be usable.

He immediately tried it and found more than a dozen mechanical bodies. Sure enough, they could all be integrated into the core, but they required unified intelligent management.

"We have developed a new way to play. When the time comes, let Suzaku take control, which can be considered as a help."

When using it before, it was necessary to protect his body to a certain extent, but now there is no such concern.

It can even be said that if he uses the main body fusion, it will limit some of his strength and he cannot display it.

Putting away the Holy Spirit Core temporarily, Li Ming glanced at the control page and found that there were still 9 billion metal energies left, neither more nor less.

There are still ten copies of the World's Blood left, which is more than enough.

"…I still have Trinity Stones left. It will cost 60 billion to control them all. I guess it will be enough when the third ransom arrives…"

"Trinity, Trinity..." He was really looking forward to this ability.

If the prediction is correct, this ability will become an important force for him to fight against Yongyuan.

"Wait..." Li Ming's mind flashed, and he suddenly took out the Holy Spirit Core again, his eyes gradually became hot:

"The Holy Spirit Core can definitely fuse into an ultimate mechanical body. As long as I advance to Level X, it should be equivalent to advancing to the ultimate level, not to mention Domination of Flesh and Blood."

"Isn't this just perfect..."

Through Levenback, he has basically figured out the power of the Trinity Stone, which is essentially fusion.

"Before I knew it, the things in my hands became one."

Li Ming couldn't help but feel excited. In this way, whether it was his own evolution, the construction of the mechanical army under his command, or even the collected scattered flesh and blood, they would eventually become his own strength.

Thinking about it this way, I feel more motivated.

"Hey, when you enter the active period, I will give you a big surprise." Li Ming stroked his chin and the corners of his mouth slowly opened.

Li Ming was in a good mood after figuring out this unexpected discovery. He wanted to continue developing genetic seeds, but he received an unexpected communication request.

"Costat?" Li Ming couldn't help but be surprised, looking at the notes on the virtual screen.

They just separated not long ago, why is this guy contacting me again?
After confirming the call, what popped up on the screen was not Kostat's strange face that he had seen the moment he saw him, but...

"Adam?" Li Ming was even more surprised. The majestic face that appeared on the screen was none other than the Holy Emperor of the Empire - Adam.

“Qinglong…” Adam looked at the other party’s mimicry face. When he thought that the other party was actually Li Ming, he had a strange feeling in his heart, but on the surface he looked normal.

"How does the Holy Emperor have time to chat with me?" Li Ming restrained his expression and asked bluntly.

"It's simple, because you stole the Covenant's laboratory and Overlord's flesh and blood." Adam went straight to the point.

Li Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, "What do you mean?"

Adam frowned slightly, dissatisfied with Li Ming's evasiveness. "In the current interstellar space, almost no one can pose a threat to you, so why not admit it?"

"It's hard to say." Li Ming did not comment. The more straightforward Adam spoke, the more he didn't want to admit it.

This guy is very sinister. He is still on that unknown wandering imperial ship. He is extremely despicable, but the resources he can mobilize are beyond imagination. Who knows what bad things he is thinking.

Adam was too lazy to debate and said bluntly: "Gutierrez has already gone mad. If you leave him no way out, he won't be able to explain to others. He will overturn the table."

"Turning over the table?" Li Ming moved slightly, thinking of something, and suddenly said, "So he has been making trouble for you recently. It turns out that you were the one who did it."

Adam's face froze, and he said in a deep voice: "You know exactly who it is, and so do we."

Li Ming pretended not to hear it, and suddenly stared at Adam, and said solemnly: "The death of the X-level life form in the Sea of ​​Stars, was it your act of revenge?"

"No." Adam shook his head. "You should be able to see that neither Malcolm nor I want to start a war. I even suspect that you are the one who is trying to start a war between us and the Covenant."

Faced with Adam's "false accusation", Li Ming did not say anything.

Another road has been blocked. Who is responsible?

Seeing that Li Ming didn't say anything, Adam had no choice but to change the subject. "My purpose for coming here is very simple. You take out some of the flesh and blood in your hand, and we each take out some and give it to Gutierrez so that he can have an explanation."

He compromised and didn't want to continue to fight with Gutierrez. He just wanted to keep the situation stable before the ultimate gene seed was developed, and then blow everything up.

"Hmm?" Li Ming couldn't help but look up. He finally understood why Gutierrez was so obsessed with the Empire and the Federation.

It turns out that they were going to be tied up by force so that he could take their flesh and blood. Gutierrez really had a brilliant idea.

He was amused and grinned, "What does this have to do with me? If you want to fight, go ahead. Besides, it wasn't me who did it."

Adam said in a deep voice: "Do you think this matter has no impact on you? Once Gutierrez makes the matter of the Lord of Flesh and Blood public, you will also become the target of public criticism."

"Blocking the path of evolution is equivalent to becoming the public enemy of everyone in the galaxy. Naturally, we must spread our research to our own people, but are you willing to share your knowledge?" "If you are not willing to share, the Higher Life Forms United Organization will find a way out. If they want to continue to evolve, they can only rely on us."

Li Ming's eyes flickered, "The Holy Emperor is very thoughtful."

"However, you should also understand that the Higher Life Forms United Organization is just the icing on the cake for me, not a force that I must hold in my hands."

"Of course I understand." Adam seemed to have anticipated Li Ming's response, and his voice was very calm, "But you don't want to give up such a huge power casually. You only need to pay some of the Overlord's flesh and blood, and you have plenty of it."

"Comparing the two prices, it shouldn't be difficult to make a decision."

Li Ming pondered, what Adam said was right, he had plenty of flesh and blood of the master in his hands now, even if he gave away some of it, it would not be a big deal.

"That's right..." Li Ming nodded slowly. Adam was not surprised at all. He had already made an estimate before contacting the other party, and he would definitely agree.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Li Ming continue.

"But I refuse." Li Ming looked calm.

Adam's expression froze, he was stunned and frowned, this business was not a loss.

"Are you worried that we will use this to hold you hostage in the future? You can rest assured that if this news is made public, other X-level life forms will not be able to submit immediately and may even cause trouble in secret, which will also be risky for us."

Li Ming shook his head and said, "It's your business if you want to compensate Gutierrez. It has nothing to do with me. If you don't have anything to do with it, I'm busy."

Without waiting for Adam's response, he ended the communication.

Just kidding, this time I paid a little blood and flesh, and it seems the disaster has been avoided.

But any of the three major civilizations can announce this news at any time.

Adam said he could guarantee it, but no one could predict the specific circumstances.

"However, he did remind me..." Li Ming thought, "Let's solve this hidden danger first."

Open the smart terminal and initiate a joint meeting. This time there is plenty of time, three days later.

As the responses came one after another, he murmured in a low voice, "Adam, how did you know that I didn't want to take it out?"

Three days passed quickly, and Suzaku reminded him half an hour before the meeting started.

Li Ming exited the development state, tidied up a bit, and went to the conference hall.

The truth behind the attack on multiple X-level life forms has not yet been uncovered, and members of the organization are very concerned about this.

He suddenly called a meeting, and everyone thought that there was a result, so almost everyone participated.

Anatoly, Anduin and the other four people who were investigating outside also came through basic projection. What was surprising was that Gustav did not come this time.

"How is the investigation going?" Li Ming asked first.

"It's a bit troublesome..." Anatoly looked a little helpless. "We have already visited two of the attackers' lairs and tried every possible means, but we still couldn't find even the slightest clue."

"However, one thing is certain, the battle lasted a very short time and was almost over in one strike."

Hearing him say this, everyone present couldn't help but sit up straight.

"That's right..." Anduin agreed, "The main reason for coming to this conclusion is that when we arrived, we could hardly feel any energy fluctuations."

"According to the law of energy attenuation, if it is a long-term battle, the aftermath effect will last at least one month to half a year."

The atmosphere was silent and the battle lasted a very short time, which indicated that the strength of the attacker might be even higher than they imagined.

As everyone was silent, light and shadow flickered on Gustav's seat beside Li Ming. The vice chairman arrived late with a serious expression. He said as soon as he came up, "The evil ancestor has also disappeared."

"Huh?" Everyone's eyes focused on him, some with surprise in their eyes.

Anatoly's face changed slightly, "Are you sure?"

"I was at the scene." Gustav looked frightened. "It should have happened a few days ago. There is almost no energy fluctuation. Just like the previous scene, the evil ancestor has no power to resist."

"If I had come a few days earlier, I might have run into him."

"How is that possible!" Anduin immediately refuted, "The strength of the evil ancestor is close to 1500X, and this is the record of a fight ten years ago. He didn't have the power to resist?"

Li Ming frowned. The Evil Ancestor was a notorious higher life form in the interstellar space. He was mainly engaged in the trafficking of human beings and various contraband items. He had caused more than one massacre and was not qualified to join the higher life forms.

They are considered the strongest among the super criminals, but they are actually the same as the previous X-level life forms.

"Are you investigating secretly?" Anatoly realized something else.

"Of course, I don't want to be suspected anymore, and I'm also the vice president of the organization," Gustav responded.

"Even if it's Tandin and Alvis, they won't leave him without the ability to resist, unless he has the help of the Titan relic." Anduin frowned, his eyes subconsciously sweeping over the Azure Dragon.

There was a constant low and noisy chatter in the members' seats, and everyone looked solemn and serious, with a hint of panic.

How could an evolved form of this strength suddenly appear and attack without any pattern?

Anatoly couldn't help but ask: "In terms of individual strength, apart from Lord Qinglong, is there really an evolved being of this level in the galaxy right now? Or did they use other means?"

Naturally, no one thought that it was Qinglong who did it.

Whether it was the battles in the Holy Castle or the Chaos Star Gap, a long time had passed, and a large amount of relevant information had been released.

Most of Qinglong's strength comes from the "Star of Eternal Silence" and the "Mechanical Holy Spirit", as well as some explosive means, but the evolutionary level of the body should not have reached an incredible level.

"Maybe, it really is." Li Ming spoke suddenly, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"It may be related to what I am going to announce when I summoned you this time."

Announce?

Everyone sat upright, curious about what Qinglong was going to announce.

Li Ming looked around at everyone and said calmly: "The path to the ultimate evolution has been found."

Everyone present was a little confused at first and seemed unable to react.

But then, pairs of eyes of different shapes expanded slightly and then contracted.

I felt as if I was struck by thunder. The panic caused by the unknown attacker was shattered to pieces, leaving only an indescribable shock.

The path to evolution, found! ?
