This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 671: Wolves Surround the Empire's Mother Planet
"Li Ming, why is it you..."

The navigator was stunned, looking at the figure in front of him, his mind a little confused.

Why are you asking the students to take action again? Shouldn’t you come here in person to mediate?
"Mr. Navigator." Li Ming simply greeted him but did not respond to the question.

The surface of its body is covered with armor, which is naturally a sign of Qinglong coming online.

The voice from the mecha explained simply, "Let me, Li Ming, go there for me. I will descend directly when we get there."

Some kind of advanced space means? The navigator suddenly realized it and did not dwell on it. Instead, he said, "A small star gate has been built, leading directly to the vicinity of the Empire's home planet. Please follow me."

On the way to Li Ming, the navigator was not idle either. He built a small star gate in advance to prevent Qinglong from being dragged on the road.

Of course, Abel's people also contributed.

Li Ming nodded, and after the navigator entered the coordinates, he asked, "What's the situation?"

The navigator paused, not knowing what Qinglong wanted to know, so he simply took out his smart terminal and called up a picture:
"The Empire's home planet has now entered a state of high martial law. The Imperial Shield is operating at full capacity, and a large number of warships are patrolling non-stop."

"Originally, many looters took this opportunity to rush into the empire and burn, kill and plunder. However, after the United Organization issued a warning half a month ago, the number of looters dropped sharply..."

Li Ming nodded. The warning issued by the joint organization was aimed at these plunderers who took advantage of the situation.

If you try to take advantage of their mediation opportunity to fish in troubled waters, you will be hunted down by all members.

"…More often than not, various civilizations and forces are cooperating with high-ranking officials of the empire to resell high-quality assets…"

The navigator further said: "There are already many forces lurking near the Empire's home planet, including the Pioneers, the Holy Revolutionary Army, the Front of Resistance... as well as people from various large and small forces and civilizations. Many people from the Higher Life Forms United Organization have also arrived..."

The Chaos Star Gap is neither far nor close to the empire, but there are those who are closer, and there are also those who have been lurking within the empire, and they are all faster than him.

Take a position early and see if it is profitable.

Li Ming narrowed his eyes and made it clear in the background that there were about forty X-level life forms, including nine board members, who would cooperate with him to come to the empire.

Of course, he also knew that there must be some "cunning" guys who did not notify him but came anyway.

"The Empire is not taking any action at the moment. It probably wants to deal with the main contradiction first..." the navigator added.

These guys are essentially just trying to take advantage of troubled waters. If we only deal with those who are causing trouble, we naturally won’t be able to catch any fish.

Dealing with these guys first will only get you stuck in a quagmire.

The navigator hesitated again and said, "As for the Federation and the Star Alliance, they have not made any statement during this period of time. They are short of manpower, and I don't know if there is any movement within them."

"Don't worry about them." Li Ming said lightly. The navigator seemed to want to say something but hesitated, and finally said nothing.

After sailing for another five or six days, the two finally arrived at the location of the "Black Star Gate". Those in charge of guarding it were all Pioneers.

Under normal circumstances, the spatial fluctuations of this "Black Star Gate" can be easily captured by the patrol fleet.

However, the patrol fleet is now busy chasing after the plunderers who took advantage of the situation, and has no time to patrol these quiet places.

It took most of the day to fly out from the other side of the star gate. Although this place is not far from the empire's mother planet, it still takes three or four days of sailing.

This side was also guarded by pioneers, and Li Ming also met an old acquaintance.

"Blackbeard?" He raised his eyebrows.

Blackbeard looked at the luxurious mecha in front of him with an excited expression, "Sir Qinglong..."

Thanks to his relationship with Qinglong, Blackbeard is considered the person with the highest status within the Pioneers, except for a few X-level life forms.

After a brief exchange, Li Ming continued to sail towards the empire's mother planet.

……

The Empire's home planet has a top-level defense system known as the "Imperial Shield", which is said to be able to withstand the simultaneous attack of 100 Class X life forms. It uses the "energy resonance coordination technology", but no one has tried to see if it can really withstand it, so I don't know if it's just a gimmick.

Outside the Emperor's Mother Star, outside the golden honeycomb energy shield, there are endless warships, which surround the entire mother star in three layers inside and outside.

From a distance, the azure shield looks like an aging blue sun, with a golden core.

Some are the defense fleets of the empire's home planet, while others were transferred here during this period to add bricks and tiles to the iron wall.

No one knows how many greedy dogs with the intention of biting down are lurking in the seemingly desolate and peaceful universe outside the mother planet.

Until a streamlined silver spaceship broke into the radar warning range, like a scepter worn by a galaxy noble, its entire body covered with mirror armor made of liquid mithril.

When starlight passes over the ship, it refracts the projections of billions of stars, as if the entire galaxy is draped over its body.

The bow is inlaid with three spiral crystal diamonds that grow in a counter-rotating pattern. Whenever the ship accelerates, a pale golden starlight curtain will fall from the tips of the crystal diamonds.

Dynamic star corona emblems are embossed on both sides of the hull. These reliefs cast in liquid palladium are not static but change color depending on the viewing angle.

When the guard in charge of observation noticed it for the first time, his heart beat wildly. He did not dare to delay and reported it quickly.

The imperial fortifications were temporarily integrated into one, with Walder temporarily serving as the commander-in-chief. After receiving the report from his subordinates, he recognized at a glance that this was the royal carriage, and the occupant should be - Abel.

"Finally, it's here..." Walder's eyes flickered, and he looked through the porthole at the endless darkness.

Abel is not to be feared; what is to be feared are the people in the darkness.

"…Arthur, I'm already here. Shouldn't I confront you face to face? Where are you?"

Abel's rude voice came from the channel receiver.

Abel's eyes were sharp. He was the only one in the spaceship, and of course there was King Megatron standing behind him.

After communicating with Li Ming, he rushed to the empire's mother planet without stopping. The longer he delayed, the more stable Arthur's position would be.

But he also clearly understood that he was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot on his own, so even though he had been outside the empire's mother planet for some time, he still did not show up, but waited for news from Li Ming.

Until today.

"Has Lord Qinglong come?" Farther away, there was a spaceship hidden in the void. Anatoly, Anduin and other members of the board of directors were all here.

Seeing Abel show up, he was surprised.

"I'm not sure, but since Abel has shown up, he should be here," Anduin couldn't help but say.

"The battle between the Holy Emperors..." Anatoly murmured in a low voice, "I wonder if I can influence it..."

No one said anything. Until now, they were still unsure.

The appearance of Abel is a signal.

They were not the only ones hiding in secret. Others became more active and some even broadcast live to the outside world.

However, there was no news on the interstellar network, and the three major civilizations joined forces to block related live broadcasts, one by one.

But the black hole network is not within their scope. I don’t know how many leaders of forces and civilizations are watching here through the black hole network.

This battle between the Saint Emperors will determine the future of the interstellar world. Once controlled by Azure Dragon, the United Organization of Higher Life Forms will become even more unstoppable.

If Qinglong is forced to retreat, the unstoppable coalition organization will be hit hard, which will have a significant impact.

"Look carefully. The fate of most people in the galaxy is in the hands of only a few people..." Florian whispered to Clyde beside him, "Only by working hard to become a big shot can you not be controlled by others."

Clyde seemed to have grown taller, his childishness had faded, and his expression became resolute.

Florian originally hoped that he could pass the rumored trial to become the king, but he found that Qinglong had already taken it, so everything became impossible and he had no choice but to give up the idea.

But Clyde has great potential and is also a potential X-level life form. Ever since he used the influence of Qinglong to help the Holy Revolutionary Army escape from its predicament, he has been bringing him up by his side.

Abel did not wait for Arthur's response. Only a stream of light flew from the depths of the mother star, causing a series of radar beeps, like a meteor.

Stopping not far from the spaceship, the bright light faded away and Abel's face changed slightly.

It is Tandin, the strongest sword of the empire.

His hands were folded across his chest, his expression still cold and aloof. The most eye-catching thing was the peculiar armor he was wearing.

The design is very ordinary, with specially customized grooves and gem-like crystals inlaid on the surface. The energy flows throughout the structure in an unpredictable way.

"Come down." A faint mental fluctuation came.

Abel's face was tense, and he responded with a weak mental wave, "Sir Tandin, you should know that Arthur's succession to the throne was strange, and my father's death was definitely not normal!"

"Come down." Tandin looked indifferent. He had been conducting experiments in the Dominant Laboratory. When Arthur contacted him, he was also surprised that Adam was dead.

Of course he knew that there were many tricks involved, but to him, it didn't matter who became the Holy Emperor, as long as he was of royal blood.

"Sir Tandin, how could you just watch things develop like this and allow Arthur to kill his father and brother!" Abel gritted his teeth.

Arthur has not shown up, and will not show up. Now that he is here, he can just take action. History books are written by the victors, so the more you say, the more mistakes you will make.

"I said, get down!" Tandin's eyes narrowed slightly.

His aura was no longer concealed, and terrifying black flames burst out from his body, like wings sweeping across the sky, spreading in all directions.

Wherever it passed, the void twisted and even collapsed, leaving a galaxy of black flames.

The nearby spaceship dissolved into particles bit by bit, revealing Abel wrapped in an energy shield inside, with King Megatron behind him, his arm on his shoulder.

Abel's pupils contracted slightly.

However, Tandin was not actually targeting him.

Farther away, Anatoly, who was hiding in a special spaceship, had a drastic change of expression, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "How could this guy's life force increase so much?"

Even he felt like a small boat facing a strong wind and tsunami that could capsize at any time.

Anduin clenched his fists, his expression solemn: "Gene source material..."

The X-level life forms hidden in other directions were also silent.

They could all clearly feel Tandin's life breath, which was much stronger than before and much stronger than they had imagined.

Florian's face changed, and he couldn't help but ask: "Gene source, have the three major civilizations actually put it into use?"

Everyone had already heard Qing Long’s explanation, but this time they were facing their feelings directly.

"Who asked you to collude with Qinglong?" Tandin's eyes swept across the mechanical body behind Abel, his eyes calm.

"My father died inexplicably, my brother was killed, and if it weren't for Lord Qinglong, I would have died myself. Am I just going to swallow my anger?" Abel forced himself to stand up.

"I say, who told you to collude with Qinglong?" Tan Ding repeated again.

He didn't care about these at all. Abel lost and that was it.

He can blame himself, blame others, blame the environment, blame luck, but the only thing he cannot do is collude with outsiders, especially Qinglong!
"So what!" Abel was too lazy to explain. It had come to this point anyway, so he made up his mind, "I'm going to fight for myself once!"

"Very good." Tandin nodded, but did not move. He looked around Xingyu, "Is he here?"

"I don't know!" Abel stiffened his neck. King Zhentian behind him couldn't stop Tandin no matter what, and he didn't know whether Qinglong could save him in time.

But his heart was beating fast, his adrenaline was surging, and his blood was rushing to his brain, making him forget his fear to a certain extent.

"Not showing up? Or not daring to show up?" Tandin's mental waves rolled in all directions, and the void was extremely silent.

"No one dares to respond, right?"

In the cabin, Anatoly and others were silent.

A sneer appeared on Tan Ding's lips. "A mob is always a mob."

"Since you are all here, why don't you come out and chat about the past?" Another spiritual wave swept across the universe.

At Tandin's side, strands of milky white light intertwined, outlining the figure of Alvis, who was also wearing armor similar to Tandin's.

He is not a pure genetic evolution body, but when his own evolutionary path was difficult to advance, he also fused gene seeds, but the quantity is not as much as Tandin, and the enhancement of gene source is limited. Overall, he is weaker than Tandin.

“The Federation has intervened…” Abel’s heart trembled.

The appearance of Alves was like a signal, and one figure after another appeared beside Tandin.

"Holmes, Carlodia..." Anatoly murmured. There were six of them, all old friends.

But the aura on their bodies was stronger than the other, far surpassing them.

"How... do we fight this?" he asked with difficulty, not knowing who he was asking.

"Since you don't show up, I can only ask you to show up." Behind Alves, the anchor holder, Holmes, raised the Anchor of the Void with an indifferent expression.

His aura also underwent a great transformation, and blazing energy poured into every crack in the Void Anchor. The invisible waves of space stirred the void like the fluttering strings of a musical instrument.

click-
Anatoly's face changed drastically, and the runes on the surface of the hidden spacecraft broke apart and suddenly emerged from the void.

Although the distance between him and Tandin and others was actually very far, in the eyes of them, he seemed to be right in front of them.

Lines of life breath appeared as ripples in space expanded, alert, awkward, and frightening.

Some life forms want to escape, but dare not act easily.

"That's quite a lot, fifty-seven in total..." Alves' expression slightly changed, but he was surprised and asked, "Why is there no sign of Qinglong?"

No Qinglong?

Abel's expression froze for a moment, and his face turned pale.
