This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 646: Qinglong’s One-Man Show

The virtual conference hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and no one was mentally prepared at all.

It can even be said that before Qinglong spoke, no one had ever thought of this.

To the extent that the virtual projections on the board and member seats began to flicker continuously, that was because the signal was subject to strong energy interference.

Some even disappeared completely, and the projection equipment was destroyed by the violent fluctuations of energy, and could not be connected for a short time.

Gustav's figure also dispersed several times. He turned his head stiffly and looked at the Qinglong who was so close to him. He felt his scalp tingling, as if he was staring into the abyss.

What kind of monster is this? How many cards does he have in his hand?

Anatoly was no less surprised. His eyes were also filled with disbelief, and he even subconsciously doubted the truth of what Qinglong said.

The future of the evolution of the ultimate life form has troubled the interstellar space for so many years. How long has it only been since Qinglong appeared, and he has solved it?
When everyone came back to their senses as if awakened from a dream, a series of questions popped up in their minds. Although they wanted to ask eagerly, when the words came to their lips, they didn't know how to ask.

The fact that this group of X-level life forms could lose their composure to this extent is enough to prove how shocking this news is.

Li Ming continued, "There is no need to hide it from you now. The secret deep in the Red River Star Stream is, to some extent, the path to ultimate evolution."

It turned out to be the Red River Star Stream!
Everyone suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the three major civilizations had not heard any news about the Red River Star Stream until now. It turned out that it involved such a huge secret.

Anduin's eyes flickered, and he inexplicably thought of the warships that Qinglong transported with the help of his stargate nodes.

Not long after Qinglong got those things, he claimed that he had mastered the secret of ultimate evolution. Coupled with the importance he attached to it, Anduin believed that the two were related.

So, he asked carefully, "What is the secret deep in the Red River Star Stream? It shouldn't be some kind of storage device or a piece of paper."

Anduin cared a lot about this matter, because unlike other people, he really spent a lot of effort and resources on this because of the information revealed by Qinglong.

But in the end I got nothing, so I wanted to know more urgently, what exactly is it?
Everyone looked at him with keen eyes.

Li Ming did not hide anything and said directly, "A corpse, the corpse of a Dominant-class Titan."

Anduin's pupils contracted slightly.

Gudong!

Everyone's throat rolled. Their thoughts, which had been sorted out, were thrown into disarray again. They didn't know what to say anymore.

The Domination level is the ultimate life form, and yet a corpse actually appeared.

The few X-level life forms remaining from the three major civilizations were also in a dazed state at the moment. Many eyes swept over them with scrutiny.

But they didn't even know about this and only learned about it from Qinglong.

"Corpse...it turns out to be a corpse..." Anduin murmured softly. The question that had troubled him for a long time finally had an answer.

"Due to various reasons, this body has been divided, and one part of it is currently in my hands." Li Ming said frankly.

The body was cut up? Everyone was subconsciously surprised.

But soon, Gustav was heard saying, "In other words, the future of evolution is in the hands of the person or force that possesses the corpse of the master."

Everyone who was in a daze suddenly came back to their senses, with different expressions on their faces.

Gustav pointed out the problem right away. Although the path to evolution has been found, it still seems to have nothing to do with these guys.

The master of flesh and blood is probably only in the hands of the three major civilizations and Qinglong, and none of them is easy to mess with.

"Sir Qinglong, you suddenly announced this. Are you planning to share the results?" Someone in the members' seats suddenly spoke in a loud voice. He was a humanoid with crystal blue skin.

A lot of eyes gathered together, carrying inexplicable meanings.

This is a bit impatient, but they are happy with it.

"Sir Zephyrin..."

Before Li Ming could speak, Anatoly beside him spoke up and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

"Are you trying to force Lord Qinglong to express his stance?"

"I'm not..." Zephyrin's face changed slightly, and he was interrupted by Anatoly just as he was about to explain.

"Okay, we all know it, so don't play word games." Anatoly sneered, "The chairman is speaking out about this because we are all in the same boat."

"Otherwise, when the ultimate life forms of the three major civilizations jump out to clean up the interstellar space, you will still be kept in the dark."

Anatoly developed path dependence. Last time, he tried his best to protect Qinglong and saved him from being liquidated.

This time it jumped out again, and naturally there were some thoughts in my mind.

He looked around solemnly: "The chairman has already said that this flesh and blood fell into his hands for some reason. It is equivalent to what he gained from the game between him and the three major civilizations."

"Instead of questioning the three major civilizations about why they didn't share, you are here questioning the chairman. Is it because the chairman has been too gentle in the past?"

Zephyrin said nothing. His face turned red from being choked, but he didn't dare to argue with Anatoly. He could only grit his teeth and said, "I didn't question it, I just asked!"

There was inevitably contempt in everyone's eyes, and everyone could see what Anatoly was thinking, he wanted to have the first sip of the soup.

Since Qinglong chose to say it at this time, it was definitely not just to remind them that there was nothing wrong with Zephyrin's inquiry.

He was only caught by Anatoly and showed his loyalty.

However, after Anatoly's commotion, some of the guys who wanted to speak up shut their mouths silently.

All those present were X-level life forms, so naturally they had thoughts about the ultimate path of evolution. For a moment, they couldn't help but come up with the idea of ​​joining forces to force Qinglong.

But after calming down a little, they realized that this was impossible because the group of people sitting on the board of directors would never go the same way as them.

Anatoly, Anduin, Perkins and others all have a good relationship with Azure Dragon, and perhaps they will get the path to evolution from Azure Dragon.

Li Ming responded coldly, taking in everyone's expressions. He knew, of course, that it would arouse the covetousness of some guys and even cause a subtle atmosphere to appear inside higher life forms.

But this is something that will happen sooner or later. Instead of letting others detonate the bomb and responding hastily, it is better to detonate it yourself.

"Don't be anxious, please listen to me." Li Ming spoke, and everyone sat up straight.

"The method I have is only applicable to genetically evolved organisms," he narrated.

Many people's faces changed slightly. Although they had some guesses, after all, the route that required the upper-level evolution of corpses was almost only the genetic evolution route.

But after hearing Qinglong's confirmation, he couldn't help but feel disappointed. Anatoly pursed his lips slightly, but he was not disappointed. Although his evolutionary path was different from his, perhaps he could draw inferences from it.

Li Ming ignored everyone's reaction and continued: "If you want to evolve into the ultimate life form, the prerequisite is to use something called gene source to strengthen all your basic genes to the x-level level..."

This…

Everyone was stunned. They thought Qinglong would keep the method of evolution secret, but he just said it out loud.

"Strengthen the underlying genes to level X to increase the strength of the body, and then fuse the ultimate gene seeds. Yes, that's right..." Someone was so excited that he danced with joy, "Fusing multiple level X gene seeds will only cause deformation of your body..."

But soon someone reacted and asked, "Chairman, what is gene source?"

Li Ming explained: "Gene source is a special substance extracted from the ultimate evolutionary body. After being mixed with the gene seed, it forms a targeted strengthening substance."

We still need to dominate the corpse, everyone sighed in their hearts.

He further added: "The gene source must be at least X-level before it can be used, otherwise it will cause genetic distortion. At the same time, if a life form has already fused with multiple gene seeds, it will not be able to strengthen the S-level gene seeds, which will also cause genetic distortion."

"That is to say, an evolved being that has already embarked on the path to the Ultimate cannot become the Ultimate Evolved Being."

This sentence sounds a bit ironic.

"What?" The faces of many genetically evolved beings changed drastically, including Gustav.

Among the more than 200 X-level life forms present, only a few had excited looks on their faces.

X-level life forms that have exhausted their development potential are unable to develop their gene seeds to 100%.

Those with the highest development potential have already integrated multiple gene seeds.

There are only a few who meet the requirements, have sufficient development potential, and whose development progress has not yet reached 100%, and they still retain the hope of becoming the ultimate life.

"This evolutionary route is not prepared for us at all..." Someone sighed and shook his head helplessly.

Gustav captured the key information and asked, "The genetic evolution that has embarked on the ultimate path is just unable to strengthen the S-level gold seed?"

“Not bad…” Li Ming nodded and glanced at him: “The vice chairman is very observant. Only the S-level gold seeds cannot be strengthened. All the previous low-level gold seeds can be strengthened normally to enhance them, so that the evolution level can be further improved.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the gloomy spirits of many people brightened up slightly.

From F to A, there are a total of six gene seeds. If all are strengthened, they can probably be upgraded to an extremely high level.

But it’s still the same original question: all the flesh and blood have owners.

Everyone looked at Qinglong, but no one spoke. They all hoped that Qinglong would make a selfless decision, but if they put themselves in his shoes, they would think that monopolizing the way forward for evolution and leading the way would be the best choice.

Feeling the gazes of the crowd, Li Ming said calmly: "As the only person who possesses the flesh and blood of the master besides the three major civilizations, I will take out the gene source."

For an instant, everyone's breathing stopped and their hearts were shocked. They didn't expect Qinglong to be really willing to take out the things.

The look they gave Azure Dragon suddenly became blazing, like a god leading the way for evolution.

"But it's not free." Li Ming immediately emphasized, "Next, the joint organization will set up a contribution list, and the top three every ten years will be eligible to purchase."

"Selfless!" Anatoly shouted immediately, his face excited, his voice trembling slightly, "Mr. Chairman, you are truly... an eternal star in the interstellar space."

Anduin looked at Anatoly in silence.

After hearing Li Ming's request, everyone was a little disappointed, but also understandable.

After all, the gene source must have a cost, and it must be selected within the joint organization.

Since no one cared about the purchasing qualification, they all had huge businesses under their control. Not to mention that they had unlimited money, but as long as Qinglong named the price, they could always get it out.

Gustav responded coldly, Qinglong's move was really vicious, he was hanging the person with a carrot and running away.

Li Ming waited until they had almost digested it before he continued, "Of course, I know some people will not be satisfied, so I can only ask you to go to the three major civilizations to ask for it."

"Going to the three major civilizations would mean being a dog for them, but it doesn't mean you can really be promoted to the ultimate level..." Anduin shook his head. "The three major civilizations haven't even finished training their own X-level life forms, so how can they train outsiders?"

As long as there is hope on the side of the Higher United Organization, no one is willing to be a dog for others.

Besides, strengthening only one or two underlying gene seeds would not require them to make such a huge sacrifice.

The few who had a hope of being promoted to X-level life forms couldn't help feeling gloomy.

Anduin was right. There were X-level life forms within the three major civilizations. Even if they were to be dogs, they would have to queue up.

It would be better to follow Qinglong, perhaps there is some hope.

"Then what are the requirements for this contribution list?" Gustav suddenly asked.

Li Ming had already prepared a plan: "It's very simple. In the future, the joint organization will not only have proposals, but every x-level life form can seek help from within the organization when they encounter a problem. A special organization department will be set up to assess the level of these problems and convert them into contribution points."

As expected... Gustav snorted in his heart, and just brought over the Black Hole Palace's tactics, turning this joint organization further into Qinglong's one-man show.

With this contribution mechanism in place, any request made by Qinglong in the future will be regarded as a supreme command, and those who want to complete it will flock to it.

Everyone present manages a large organization and naturally understands that this contribution mechanism is essentially used to motivate subordinates.

But he also felt helpless in his heart, because it was Qinglong who controlled the resources.

"Of course, contribution points can be used not only to exchange for gene essence, but also have other uses." Li Ming added.

Everyone had different thoughts and nodded in agreement.

Maybe someone noticed, or maybe no one cared. None of Qinglong's requests this time went through the proposal process.

"So..." Li Ming came back again, "Theoretically speaking, the one who did it is most likely a life form that has been strengthened by the source."

"Besides me, probably only three major civilizations are suspected of this."

Everyone looked at each other, and after a lot of twists and turns, they returned to the three major civilizations, but the suspicion of the three major civilizations was not very high, and Qinglong had even rejected them before.

"Could it be the ultimate life form?" Anatoly asked involuntarily. He was investigating the matter and was most concerned about it.

The others also felt a tightness in their hearts.
