This is not mechanical ascension...

"I am willing to place the Lord of Flesh and Blood under your supervision." Abel said immediately, his expression solemn: "The birth of an ultimate life form is nothing in front of the Eternal Abyss."

"But the risks are immeasurable. Yongyuan has already sent people to kill Mr. Li Ming. I believe your request must be for the sake of the entire galaxy."

"I hope you two can cooperate. Besides, it's only a hundred years."

Malcolm and Antigo glanced at Abel. This guy is already a dog in Li Ming's hands. How can he not trust him?
They didn't answer Abel. Malcolm hesitated, looked at Li Ming, and asked, "Why one hundred years?"

This period of time is actually not that long. Since we are facing the threat of Yongyuan now, the threat should be more imminent in a hundred years.

Li Ming had already restrained his killing intent at this moment, and responded calmly: "If I say that in a hundred years, I will have a chance to defeat Yong Yuan, would you believe it?"

Defeat Yongyuan?

Malcolm's eyelids twitched violently, and Antigo's throat rolled.

There is no doubt that Yongyuan is powerful. Malcolm Yu still remembers the shock and uncontrollable despair he felt when he learned about Yongyuan.

But like his predecessors, he quickly accepted the status quo, because even at the end of his life, let alone during his term, it is likely that Yongyuan would not be seen active.

But who would have thought that he would suddenly see the Lord of Yongyuan appear in the main universe. This was enough to surprise him, not to mention Li Ming's words.

In the long history of the universe, not to mention those civilizations that were buried in the more distant history of the universe.

The Holy Spirit Civilization and the Terrax Civilization, which have clear records, both possess several ultimate-level life forms, which are many times more powerful than their civilizations that are still groping on the road of evolution.

But in front of the eternal abyss, it will only become history.

In just a hundred years, Li Ming dared to claim to have defeated Yongyuan?
Malcolm subconsciously didn't believe it, but then, a little hope arose in his heart.

After all, the guy in front of him had violated many common sense of the universe.

And Abel was right about one thing. Yongyuan had already sent people to attack and kill Li Ming. The two were destined to be enemies.

In this case, listening to Li Ming might not necessarily be a bad thing.

Of course, there is another point. Their research on the ultimate gene seed is progressing slowly and may not be successful within decades. This has already taken up more than half of the hundred years and can only be delayed further.

As for the most crucial thing, it is Li Ming’s threat. Even the ultimate life form cannot withstand a single shot. What can he do if he doesn’t listen?
He and his mechanical bodies are going to use decapitation tactics, and no one can withstand it.

The matter was of great importance, so Malcolm had no choice but to think it over carefully. After considering all aspects, he slowly said, "I can agree to your request."

The tone changed, but he continued: "But it is impossible to put the Overlord's flesh and blood under your supervision. You can send someone to contact us regularly to determine the progress of our research."

Seeing that Malcolm had made a decision, Antigo immediately followed up, "Yes, this is also my attitude, I hope you can understand."

Malcolm was speechless. This guy was such a thief.

"Okay." Li Ming didn't push him too hard. Even if he didn't say it, it was still certain whether the Federation and the Star Alliance could make a breakthrough in gene seeds within a hundred years.

This threat is just a precaution to make the other party feel fearful.

Seeing that Li Ming agreed, Malcolm breathed a sigh of relief, but then he heard him say, "There is one more thing."

Malcolm's heart tightened.

Li Ming said slowly: "You should lift the trade ban. You should have studied the mechanical seeds thoroughly. There is no backdoor at all, and we cannot control it remotely."

"It's just business, there's no need to be so vigilant."

Malcolm and Antigo looked at each other. The Empire, the Federation, and the Covenant had always used security as an excuse.

The purpose of prohibiting the regular sale of mechanical seeds in the country is to curb the development of Qinglong, but at the moment, there is no way to curb it.

They could only nod their heads and promise to lift the ban when they returned.

Afterwards, Abel briefly exchanged some things, mainly about the unanimous opinion on the matter. With Li Ming here to settle it first, it would prevent these two guys from sabotaging behind the scenes.

Malcolm and Antigo had mixed feelings, but they were too lazy to argue with Abel who relied on Li Ming's power, so they agreed.

The summit meeting ended, and the projection light around him gradually faded away. Abel's expression kept changing. He looked at Li Ming and couldn't help asking, "How long will it take for Yongyuan to attack?"

In his opinion, fighting against Yongyuan has become an inevitable reality, so he must be prepared.

"Don't worry about it for now." Li Ming shook his head.

Seeing that Li Ming was not going to elaborate, Abel did not ask any more questions. Instead, he reminded him in a low voice, "I'm afraid the Federation and the Star Alliance may not necessarily follow your arrangements."

"They'd better behave themselves." Li Ming's meaning was unclear. As long as a mechanical body entered the laboratories of the Federation and the Covenant, he would be able to find out the other party's specific location.

Of course, he would not tell Abel about these things. He just said, "Let's deal with the current situation first."

Glancing at the smart terminal, Reynolds and Mikhail sent him a large number of messages, mixed with shock, astonishment and situation reports.

"In about a month and a half, Reynolds and Mikhail's mechanical bodies will arrive and you can use them at your convenience."

Li Ming paused, his eyes flickering, and said: "As for the people from the Higher Life Forms United Organization, they will only be responsible for external interference. I will warn them not to interfere in the internal affairs of the empire."

The reason why Reynolds and Mikhail were used to cleanse the empire instead of using people from the United Organization of Higher Life Forms was to prevent these guys from gradually getting involved in the empire during the cleansing process and becoming a force that was difficult to deal with within the empire.

The empire has become his forbidden territory, and no one can interfere.

"I understand." With Li Ming's words, Abel felt relieved. He was really afraid that the United Organization of Higher Life Forms would interfere in the empire's internal affairs in the name of Li Ming.

"However, there is no need to prohibit normal business dealings." He added, "You can decide the degree yourself."

Adam nodded. Li Ming thought for a moment and then asked, "Does the Empire's home planet have any metal materials in reserve?"

"Metal materials?" Abel thought for a moment and responded, "The mother planet is a political center, not a production center. There shouldn't be many metal materials in reserve."

Li Ming also understood this, and said: "Search for it first and send it to me as soon as possible. I need it urgently."

"Yes." Abel nodded solemnly. At this point, only half a day had passed since Adam's death, and the citizens of the Empire's home planet were still in a state of confusion.

Although they witnessed a scene that seemed to be Adam's return, it was difficult for them to see the subsequent developments because the relevant battles were all taking place outside the earth.

Also, because the external communications of the Empire's home planet have always been closed, the Imperial citizens who are at the core of the battle have no idea what is happening.

One can only guess that there will be another earth-shaking change in the ruling class.

Most of the citizens who can live on the Empire's home planet have extraordinary identities, and many are family members of high-ranking officials.

For the sake of stability, Abel did not open the communication for the first time and still declared a state of alert.

Costat came forward and cooperated with Adam's royal guards to quickly deal with Arthur's old subordinates left behind.

Many lower-level soldiers just followed orders and had no idea what was happening above them.

After the generals were replaced, they became a guard force loyal to the empire and began to clean up the mess in full swing.

Of course, their most important task is to carry out Li Ming's requirements.

In just three days, all the alloys stored in various research institutions on the empire's home planet were gathered in the temporary palace.

It is basically used for experiments and does not contain low-grade alloys.

"Hmm..." Li Ming absorbed the last piece of "Wu Jing Alloy", and the balance of metal energy on the control page had reached 30 billion.

After consuming a part of it in the previous battle, he originally had more than 9 billion left. This time, with his hasty collection, he accumulated 21 billion attribute energies.

Even though it is a political center and does not have special reserves of metal materials, this number is still not small.

"90% of the metal materials have been collected. As for the remaining 10%, the difficulty and time of collecting will be greatly extended. There is no need to wait." Li Ming's heart moved slightly, and King Yutian, holding the Void Anchor, walked forward from the corner.

He stretched out his hand, and 17 billion metal energies poured into it, directly controlling it. He looked at the control effect--
[Space Immunity: Can produce great resistance to space influences on itself other than the main body. ]

It is similar to what he expected. It is still in a defective state. It is estimated that it can only be completely immune after it is fully repaired.

Li Ming was not surprised. The reason for controlling the Void Anchor was not to see the effect, but for its ability.

He stretched out his hand and tried to activate the power of [Lord of the Void]. In an instant, he felt that the space around him, which was as solid as ice, suddenly turned into water waves, surrounding him with joy and activity.

Just stir them gently and they will move as you like.

Li Ming exclaimed in amazement. None of his gene seeds had any space-related abilities, and he had never experienced such an affinity with the void.

The body flickered and dispersed, moving, an endless corridor, a spatial projection, a void cage, the space ripples around Li Ming continued, producing various changes under his control, but were confined to a certain range.

After playing for a while, Li Ming's novelty wore off a little, and then he made a "mark" in the current space based on that mysterious feeling, which only he could feel.

"It's really strange..." Li Ming's figure flashed and he arrived at the outer layer of the mother planet. The fluctuation of space parameters immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding escort fleets.

However, they soon received orders from their superiors to stop interfering.

Trying to activate his ability again, Li Ming felt his eyes blurred and his fingertips began to mist into quantum dust, each particle of dust carrying an afterimage of space.

"So weird..." Li Ming raised his hand and observed carefully. When his eyes moved downward, he found that his knees had dissolved into a vortex-shaped energy flow, which was assimilated into the space into drifting nebula ribbons.

The whole person seemed to be sucked into a vortex. Everything in front of the eyes was invisible, only blurry lights kept shuttling back and forth, as if passing through some passage, but it was completely different from the previous feeling. Faintly in the ears came the sound of dimensional vibration.

When his vision became clear again, he had arrived at the space that he had "marked" before, and the spatial parameters had not changed at all.

"It's not pure space travel..." Li Ming came to the conclusion after experiencing it. It was more like breaking up the body and then gathering it in another place, which involved the quantum field.

Feeling the energy draining from his body, he couldn't help but frown.

"If someone came here directly from the Mechanical King's Court and drained me dry, I probably wouldn't be able to do it..." Li Ming muttered, not worried about this.

Once the Eternal Throne is repaired, it probably won’t be a problem anymore.

After marking the place and making sure he could come here at any time, Li Ming prepared to leave the empire's mother planet.

Let's take that inconspicuous spaceship and travel with Anduin.

The other members of the United Organization of Higher Life Forms had been dismissed by him and left. Only Anduin stayed until now because he was on the same journey with him.

"Oh right..." Li Ming set the coordinates and entered the temporarily opened Imperial Star Gate, asking, "Among the currently known X-level life forms, how many have the potential to become the ultimate life form?"

Anduin behind him thought for a moment and responded, "Excluding non-genetically evolved beings, those with insufficient development potential, and those that have already embarked on the path to the Ultimate, there are probably no more than ten Level X beings in the galaxy that have the potential to become Ultimate life forms."

"There are quite a lot of them..." Li Ming was surprised, and then said, "How many are not members of the organization and those trained by the civilization?"

"It seems that there are only those interstellar maniacs, only two..." Anduin thought about it. There are not many X-level life forms in the interstellar that have not joined the joint organization. He also ruled out the option of civilization cultivating them on its own.

Almost only those guys who don't meet the criteria for joining the joint organization because they have committed extremely serious crimes.

Open the smart terminal and call out two pictures.

One of them was an interstellar human with deep grooves on both sides of his nose, looking extremely gloomy. The other was a red dragon sub-human, covered with fine scales all over his body and with a single horn on his head.

Anduin pointed at the human and gave a brief introduction: "Cynde, the Mad Shadow, has suffered from Mad Shadow since childhood. This is a mental illness that has caused him to be extremely paranoid and crazy. He spent five years massacring an entire planet."

"His development progress reached 100% five or six years ago, and he had been looking for new X-level gene seeds, but he stopped looking after the Ultimate Evolution Path came out some time ago."

Then, he zoomed in on the dragon, "The Red Flame Hell Dragon - Kubra. He is a mixed-race subspecies. After his race was destroyed, he embarked on a path of revenge. In the process, he used all means and hurt many innocent people."

"The development progress was already 98% seventeen years ago..."

"It's just the two of them. Find a way to catch them and send them to me." Li Ming took a quick look and didn't take them too seriously. He issued a sentencing order and added, "I want them alive. Don't cause too much harm."
