This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 674: In front of you, Li Ming, I have no right to use the word "cheat"
The breath of life that I had never felt before was overwhelming, filling every corner of the universe.

Even Li Ming felt his breathing stagnate at this moment. Although he had switched the combat system long ago and had extremely strong defense, his life level was still inferior to that of the opponent.

There was also a light in his eyes, but his gaze passed Adam and fell on the huge broken throne above the Mother of the Empire, which had not yet completely dissipated.

Even though there were cracks all over it and even gaps in some places, according to the records in the Titan Chronicles, Li Ming recognized it at a glance. This was exactly the Eternal Throne.

Adam was not dead after all, and Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, he can achieve his goal in one go and won't have to spend extra energy looking for it in the future.

However, he couldn't help but feel a little curious. After all, the other party was the ultimate evolved form on the orthodox genetic evolution route. He also wanted to know how strong he was and what power he had.

The shadow shrank like a whirlpool, and then, at a speed that was difficult for their naked eyes to detect, Adam appeared silently in front of Alvis.

The Holy Emperor's robe was flowing with silver light like liquid stars, and overlapping dark golden dragon patterns were floating on the surface of the cloth. The scales of each dragon pattern were inlaid with tiny crystals, which actually resembled skin fragments, but were mixed with a lot of white fragments.

There was an eternal flame dancing in his pupils, his shoulder armor was cast in the shape of a curled up nebula, and his waist belt was a relief of two Ouroboros devouring each other.

The hem of the robe was stained with a deep purple halo, dragging out afterimages of time and space. The seemingly thin fabric embodied the empire's highest technological achievements.

boom!
An even more intense and undisguised breath of life swept over from Adam. All living things that felt this terrifying breath from the top of the food chain trembled in fear, their bodies instinctively fearing.

At the same time, the camera hidden in the dark also completely interrupted its signal due to the high-intensity life radiation.

The last information stream transmitted was the huge phantom emerging on the empire's mother planet.

"This, this is... Adam? Isn't he dead?!" A certain ruler of a civilization jumped up from his seat with his eyes wide open, and his staff were collectively speechless.

"I knew that the Holy Emperor would not die so easily." There were also loyal allies of the empire who were extremely excited.

In one of Mikhail's bases, Reynolds' virtual projection flickered continuously, his mechanical eyes flickered, and he angrily said, "This bastard, he is setting a trap!"

"Fuck, the ultimate life form, how despicable!"

Although the live broadcast could not allow them to directly feel Adam's life breath, through some subtle reactions, and even the current Qinglong, they could infer the unbelievable truth.

Reynolds cursed angrily, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "No, hurry up and contact Qinglong to see if he has any way to counter."

Mikhail was also having a hard time calming down, but he was able to remain calm, murmuring in a low voice: "Qinglong, you are still the old Taoist. It was a wise move for you not to go."

……

In the Empire's temporary command center, Walder staggered back, his face pale. It was over, all over.

"How could this happen..." He couldn't believe it.

When the news of Adam's serious injury and the selection of a successor came out, neither the House of Commons nor the House of Lords believed it at first.

Instead, it took a huge amount of effort to learn the specific process of modulating gene seeds from the Dominant Laboratory. Only after he was sure that Adam could not become the ultimate life form did he feel relieved.

The other half fell after attacking and killing many princes.

Unlike what he told Arthur, the coup to kill other princes and the empire's home planet was not carried out immediately.

But it was ten minutes earlier. If their attack had failed and they found that these princes had unknown protectors, they would have given up the action even at the last moment.

However, only after all the princes except the second prince and Abel died did they feel completely relieved.

"What a cruel Saint Emperor..." He gritted his teeth, his whole body trembling, "He even used his own son as bait."

In order to support Arthur, they mobilized countless resources, and these were probably exposed nakedly under Adam's eyes.

After this incident, there will be an unprecedented purge. The power of the ultimate life form is enough to suppress all disobedience.

The one who suffered the greatest blow was undoubtedly Abel. He seemed to have turned into a sculpture, and even his eyes did not change at all. They were just fixed on the familiar yet unfamiliar shadow.

Then he twitched suddenly as if he had been electrocuted, his heart beat violently, and his mind became active again.

My father is not dead?

But then he realized that this was a big plot to lure all the enemies together and then kill them.

His father, the Holy Emperor of the Empire, included everyone in the calculation.

However, after he came to his senses, Abel felt only bitterness in his heart. He thought of the scene where he was almost killed and his dead brothers.

Although I am not very close to them, I still feel a sense of grief at this moment.

Adam, their father, had no regard for their lives.

In fact, until he was attacked and nearly all of his brothers were killed, he still held onto the possibility that Adam might still be alive.

From then on he truly believed that Adam was dead.

However, now he was hit hard. His father was still alive, but he just didn't take them seriously.

If not for this, he would not have sought Qinglong's help and would not have been unable to turn back.

He was unwilling, angry, and resentful in his heart. He raised a question from his soul, mixed with a roar, "Is it really... like this!?"

Adam's indifferent eyes fell on Abel, and he said calmly, "Sacrifice is necessary."

Abel's face changed. He wanted to refute, but he only felt powerless from the bottom of his heart. Many complex emotions intertwined, and in the end he only had a slightly childish response: "You, don't have a son anymore."

There was finally some ripple in Adam's eyes, but it quickly disappeared without any response.

Alves, who was standing behind him, felt his throat dry. Things in the world are unpredictable and this was the final result.

He had roughly understood what was going on. Although he still had many doubts, now was not the time to think about them.

His fingers trembled slightly, and a barely perceptible light flashed in his hands. Holmes, who was standing next to him, widened his eyes, but his eyes trembled and he couldn't help but look at Alves.

But he reacted immediately, the Void Anchor tightly held in his hand trembled, highly compressed energy surged in the cracks, the space around him trembled slightly, and his body became hazy, as if he would suddenly disappear in the next moment.

However, Adam, who was standing in front of him, just tilted his head slightly.

click-
Holmes's face changed in shock. The void around him shattered in an instant. A void storm surged out, even trying to engulf the people around him. His scattered body instantly solidified.

"Holy Emperor, what do you mean?" Alvis couldn't help but ask.

"Don't be in such a hurry to leave." Adam said lightly. Without him making any movement, the shattered void was quickly repaired. "You have come here specially to help the empire, and I haven't thanked you properly yet." Alvis's face turned ugly. He was really in a trap. He couldn't take the Void Anchor away, and even for them, it was hard to say what the final outcome would be.

"We came here specifically to support the Empire. What do you mean now that we are not allowed to leave?"

In the ruins of the Imperial Palace, the Federation representative roared and fiddled with the nearly broken smart terminal in his hand, trying to reconnect with Malcolm.

Of course he understood what it meant for the Void Anchor to be left behind.

"Arthur, what do you mean!" Finally, he looked at Arthur, who was sitting there in a daze, and asked repeatedly.

In his opinion, Arthur must be a participant in this situation, luring the Federation and the Covenant into the game.

However, all he got was Arthur's empty, dazed eyes.

"Please don't be anxious, sir..." An indifferent voice came from underground, and Prince Costat slowly flew up.

"Prince Costat?" The federal representative's heart skipped a beat. He didn't care about anything else and asked repeatedly, "What do you mean by stopping us from leaving? Do you want to swallow the Void Anchor as well?"

"Please go ask the Holy Emperor yourself about this." Costat shook his head and looked at Arthur who was lying on the ground. Arthur was also looking up at him. There seemed to be a glimmer of hope in his dazed and empty eyes.

Costat sighed, a trace of reluctance flashed across his face, but he finally shook his head.

Arthur seemed to have lost the last bit of his strength when he saw this. His body twitched, his hair was disheveled, his face was grim, but he laughed unpleasantly: "Good Saint Emperor, good father..."

In fact, since he couldn't find any trace of Adam, he had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but there was no way back for him.

Costat turned his head away. The most realistic part of this game was actually the performance of these princes.

Adam pretty much just showed his injury and everything happened naturally.

It is precisely to strive for the most realistic result and make everyone believe that Adam did not choose anyone to collude with him.

If there is something slightly wrong, neither the House of Commons nor the House of Lords will take action, the Federation and the Star Alliance will not support, and Qinglong will not support Abel.

Only the most authentic can succeed, and the price is these princes.

"Those who achieve great things can even kill their closest relatives." Levenbeck followed slowly, looking at Arthur who was heartbroken, as if he thought of his past self, and couldn't help but raise his head and look at Xingyu.

Teacher, are you satisfied with the gift I prepared for you?

.........

Seeing that Adam suppressed Holmes who was holding the Anchor of the Void with just a look, everyone behind Li Ming felt as if they were pricked by needles and could not stand uncomfortably.

Anatoly didn't dare to act rashly. He was extremely frightened. Adam was already the ultimate life form. How could he play this game?

These guys who come here with such a threatening momentum will definitely be liquidated.

I don’t know how many people who had grudges against the empire were here. They were all caught in one net, and the empire really turned from bad to good.

He stared at Li Ming's back, and then he understood.

Qinglong's move of letting Li Ming come for him was truly amazing.

If Adam had not appeared, the mechanical body strengthened by the Bone of the Dominant would have been enough to suppress the situation and demonstrate the mystery of Qinglong.

If this is a big game and Qinglong's real body doesn't come at all, then there will be no danger and there will be no loss either way.

Anatoly could not help complaining in his heart, "You have tricked us into this. If you are so vigilant, why make such a fuss?"

"Li Ming..." Adam turned his eyes and really fell on Li Ming, with a sense of urgency, appreciation, and curiosity...

"You and I, this is the first time we meet." Adam said calmly and comfortably, but then added: "Maybe it's the first time."

Adam's words were strange, but no one thought about it deeply. They were all thinking about how to get out of this situation.

"I guess so," Li Ming responded, neither humble nor arrogant, even with a hint of casualness.

But no one felt anything was wrong. Anatoly felt even more bitter. Qinglong was too cunning.

Li Ming is just his student, neither important nor unimportant. There is a high probability that Adam will not kill him, so there will be no major loss in this operation.

Instead, he tested out Adam's specific strength. All he needs to do next is disappear and wait quietly for his ultimate gene evolution seed to be developed. Then he can make a comeback and be able to compete with him.

"It's incredible that such a young X-level life form exists. You seem to be only in your early thirties." Adam also praised that Li Ming's information state was very well restrained.

Others didn't notice it at first, but he was already the ultimate life form and could see the clues at a glance.

what?
When the many X-level life forms who were thinking about how to escape heard this, they couldn't help but look at the same time.

X-class life form?

Alvis was shocked and confused. Even though the first ultimate life form in the galaxy was before him, Li Ming's terrifying development progress still made him feel terrified.

Anduin was horrified. Li Ming was already an X-level life form? This was too abnormal.

"Saint Emperor Liao, you are amazing. You have deceived the entire galaxy. You are the first ultimate evolved being and deserve to be recorded in the history of the galaxy." Li Ming praised sincerely.

"Cheat?" When Adam mentioned this word, his expression changed slightly and he shook his head, "Compared to you, what I did is nothing."

After saying this inexplicable sentence, Adam then asked: "Why don't you let Qinglong communicate with me?"

Everyone who had recovered from their shock gradually realized that something was wrong.

Adam's attitude towards Li Ming was very strange. Since he appeared, he hardly spoke to anyone and it seemed that there was only Li Ming in his eyes.

If it is said that he values ​​the Azure Dragon behind him, what he said is difficult to understand.

If he wants to communicate with Qinglong, does he need Li Ming to "give way"?

Li Ming's face paused slightly. Qinglong's iconic armor covered his body, but there was still no response.

Adam looked at the mecha carefully, from top to bottom, with an expression on his face that no one could understand, a half-smile, with emotion, surprise, and a passionate, gentle mental wave spreading out.

"When he puts on the armor, he is Qinglong. When he takes off the armor, he is Li Ming. You have manipulated the entire galaxy in your hands. No one can detect the clues."

"In front of you, I am not qualified to use the word 'cheat'."
