This is not mechanical ascension...

"No problem." Anduin did not hesitate. The United Organization was already gradually clearing out these interstellar fanatics.

However, these two guys are not very strong and are ranked very far behind.

Since Li Ming requires it, then move it forward a little.

He could easily handle two X-class ones who hadn't yet reached the Ultimate Path by himself.

"As for other people who meet the requirements, please give me a list as well." Li Ming said again.

Anduin nodded without asking any more questions. He lowered his head to deal with it and soon sent over a list.

Li Ming took a quick look and found that most of them were not members of the organization, but were cultivated by civilization.

"One in the Empire, two in the Federation, two in the Covenant, and only two within the organization." Li Ming murmured in a low voice.

Anduin was curious, but never asked. Instead, he reminded: "These are only potential X-level life forms. If they expand to other life forms, the number will increase many times."

"Yeah." Li Ming nodded calmly, his eyes flickering.

The Eternal Throne can create the ultimate life form. Even if Adam also uses other means, he can repair the Eternal Throne to its complete state, and its power will be much stronger than it is now.

To a certain extent, he can now mass-produce ultimate life forms.

The ultimate life form can provide him with upgrade materials and ultimate evolution source.

To put it bluntly, the Ultimate Life Form is his consumable material.

Although it sounds ridiculous, it is true.

Although it is a luxury to use the ultimate life forms as consumables, these guys are really useless against Yongyuan.

"However, the only concern is whether mass-producing the ultimate life form will cause Yongyuan to go berserk..."

With this concern in mind, Li Ming would naturally not act rashly, but it would always be a good idea to collect samples first.

When he becomes the ultimate life form, he will be pulled up directly, and then kill these people, extract materials, and upgrade the controlled objects.

With the Titan Relic, he wouldn't need too many ultimate control objects, and wouldn't need many X-level life forms.

It is estimated that it will take only a hundred years for him to complete the X-level development progress. It is impossible for other life forms to meet the requirements for advancement to the ultimate life form during this time, so there is no need to consider it for the time being.

Li Ming did not forget that he still had a set of upgrade materials in his hand, and he pondered secretly:
"From level X control objects, to upgrade to ultimate control objects, the metal energy consumed also rises sharply. It requires 50 billion metal energy. The metal energy is far from enough. We have to wait..."

Seeing Li Ming's thoughtful expression, Anduin still felt a little uncomfortable at the moment, but he heard him say again: "Notify me after arriving at the Chaos Star Gap."

After saying this, Li Ming returned to his room, thinking in his heart -
"After returning, I need to make some arrangements. Tanus already knows that Azure Dragon and I are one, so the Mechanical Royal Court is not safe..."

……

Just as Li Ming was returning to the Mechanical Royal Court.

Somewhere in the silent universe, Tanus was half-kneeling in the void, with an area like a black hole expanding in front of him, swallowing up the sparse light around him. It was much larger than the last time he communicated with the Lord of the Abyss.

"You want to abandon me?"

Tanus could feel the bird's-eye view that was almost condensed into substance, and the sound echoing in his mind was like a thunderclap that split the universe, causing him to feel awe and fear from the bottom of his heart.

His body's instinct drove him to answer, "Master Yuan, I have never had such an idea."

"Then why wait until now?"

"I'm investigating." Tanus explained, "You don't allow me to act in a high-profile manner to avoid disturbing this era of evolution. I can only investigate Qinglong in secret."

"Because I wasn't sure where he was, I didn't do anything."

"Who knows, Qinglong and Li Ming are actually the same person." Tanus seemed to be afraid that the Abyss Master did not know the concept, and added: "Li Ming's biological age is less than a hundred years... He..."

"I know!" Lord Yuan interrupted rudely, his voice suddenly becoming high-pitched.

Tanus was silent. During this period of time, he had spoken to the Abyss Lord far more than in the more than ten evolutionary eras after he surrendered to the other party.

He could even feel the Abyss Lord's violent emotional fluctuations, which was almost unprecedented.

"Stretch out your hand." The voice of the Abyss Lord sounded again, and calm was restored. Tanus hesitated for a moment, and finally stretched out his left hand.

Then, countless earthworm-like protrusions suddenly appeared on the surface of its skin, and each protrusion was winding out the trail of a poisonous viper under the skin.

These black blood vessel lines collapsed from the limbs to the heart, and the pores along the way sprayed out asphalt-like black and sticky substance, which then gathered into the palms of his hands.

Tanus' pupils contracted, and the flesh on his palms melted away at a speed visible to the naked eye. The black light seemed to be returning home, gradually forming a pitch-black sphere.

He is a true ultimate life form, and his physical strength is unquestionable, but his skin and flesh are melting like snow at this moment.

The black ball that was finally formed had liquid waves floating on its surface, emitting a thrilling aura. It seemed to expand in all directions instinctively, but was suppressed by the surrounding space, and this cycle repeated itself over and over again.

This was exactly the substance that Lord Yuan gave him at the end of the confrontation between him and Li Ming.

He originally thought it was the power of the Eternal Abyss, but he didn't expect it to be this kind of substance.

"Is this the Abyss Core?" Tanus was surprised. This substance can carry part of the power of the Abyss Lord.

It usually appears in the later stage of the Eternal Abyss's activity. It is like a small Eternal Abyss that can release abyss mist to infect other life forms and then extract the power of the Eternal Abyss from them.

Combined with the power of the Abyss Lord, they can greatly enhance themselves and completely crush those life forms that were originally resisting stubbornly.

The Abyss Lord said calmly: "That battle barely gave me the opportunity to send this thing."

Tanus hesitated, "But... the suppression of the main universe is too strong, this thing may be difficult to spread..."

The Abyss Lord did not respond, but ordered: "Next, follow my instructions and take this thing to find someone."

Looking for someone? Tanus became more and more suspicious. Who?

He subconsciously wanted to ask, but he held back because he would not have been so curious and puzzled before. He nodded and said, "I understand."

Tanus discovered that Yongyuan's activity level was increasing, which might be because an ultimate life was born in the main universe, or it might be for other reasons.

He didn't dare to think too deeply, even though being away from the Eternal Abyss and the suppression of the main universe made his own thinking more and more active, and sometimes he would have thoughts that he shouldn't have.

But he could understand more clearly that the Eternal Abyss had swallowed up countless eras of evolution, and that its previous adherence to the laws of the universe was not because it was powerless, but because it did not want to waste its energy.

But this time, Lord Yuan took the initiative!

Tanus did not dare to delay. Holding the Abyss Core, he tore through space and followed the instructions.

Even after he left, the darkness in the area still did not dissipate.

"Is this... the emotion called fear?" An ancient thought that no one could hear echoed.

Even he hadn't expected that guy to be so strong. Even though he had surpassed the life level, he could still win by crushing others.

What's even more strange is that the weapons that should have been broken in his hands were miraculously repaired.

He didn't dare to give the life form named Li Ming any more time.

X-level life forms can kill ultimate life forms. If he evolves into the ultimate life form, he may be able to kill his way into the Eternal Abyss.

"Could he be the carrier of the main universe?" Abyss Lord couldn't help but think, "...If he does that...it might affect this era of evolution, but it doesn't matter. He will just lie dormant for another era of evolution."

"But this life form must die."

Amid the boiling murderous intent, the area was gradually repaired.

.........

On the fifth day after the battle, when the entire galaxy was still in shock over the battle, the Empire finally spoke out under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
"…There is a rebel named Arthur who has committed treason. He took advantage of the fact that the Holy Emperor Adam was seriously injured to launch a rebellion, kill his father and brother, usurp the throne of the Holy Emperor, and cooperate with outsiders to pretend to be the Holy Emperor and fabricate facts…

...With the help of the iron-blooded guards of the empire and external allies, the seventh prince Abel restored order and, through a royal resolution and approval by the Royal Parliament, announced that Abel would succeed his father, Holy Emperor Adam..."

As soon as the Empire's statement came out, it caused a huge uproar. The Star Alliance, the Federation, the United Organization of Higher Life Forms, and the Mechanics Association all sent congratulatory messages immediately.

However, no one expected that the Empire's statement would be so simple and crude, completely denying Arthur's legitimacy and even the reality of Adam's existence, and insisting that it was Arthur who sent someone to disguise him.

"Erase Adam directly? Even if we don't want to cause a large-scale protest within the empire, this is too..."

"Disguise? Find an ultimate life form to disguise? Are you treating us and all the witnesses as fools?"

"The Empire doesn't think that it can completely cover up this matter by opening and closing its mouth and issuing a statement, right?"

Many people were surprised and even felt sarcastic. How could such a big fuss be wiped out by just one word from the empire?

Did he really think that StarCraft was owned by his family? When Adam was alive, he didn't even dare to have such an idea.

However, after the statement was issued, some people discovered that the picture of Adam being pointed at with a gun and even the related comments were being erased on a large scale on the Internet.

The three major civilizations worked together with unparalleled efficiency. Some people were even still watching when the picture disappeared on the spot.

"I really need to cover my mouth, damn empire!"

"The Federation and the Covenant are actually in cahoots with the Empire again. This matter has nothing to do with them."

"... "

Not only that, what is even more terrifying is that some people claim that the pictures they saved in the background of their smart terminals were silently erased, which involves personal privacy and is terrifying when you think about it.

At the same time, no social software can send such pictures and related discussions.

Only by saving it completely offline can it be preserved, but it can only be viewed offline. Once it is connected to the Internet, it will disappear immediately.

However, some people disagreed and sneered:
"Covering your mouth on the interstellar network is useless, how can you cover it on the black hole network?"

"Doing this will only make people remember it more clearly."

It is difficult to find illegal pictures and videos on the interstellar network. The black hole network is beyond the control of the three major civilizations and cannot be governed.

As a result, once people logged into the Black Hole Network, more people were dumbfounded. This picture and related discussions disappeared even faster on the Black Hole Network and had completely disappeared without a trace.

"The interstellar network and the black hole network were actually erased simultaneously. This... this..."

"The Black Hole Network...actually cooperates with them?"

Many people could not help but be shocked, and even developed a panic. The black hole network is a gray area safe haven, and has never been in cahoots with the three major civilizations.

But this time, they actually cooperated.

Some smart people have realized that something is wrong. What actually erased this picture might not be the empire, but the will of a more powerful existence.

Therefore, no civilization or organization spoke out regarding this matter and just watched silently.

In just one day, the picture had completely disappeared from the entire interstellar space, and the discussion about Adam's return also disappeared without a trace.

The glory of the Holy Emperor of the Empire, the first ultimate life form of this evolutionary era, in the last moments seemed to be just a bubble.

At first, this behavior caused a lot of rebellious psychology among people.

We spread this news through various means and at all costs, but after a long time, we gradually lost the motivation.

Time flies, and after a month and a half, no one is discussing this matter anymore on the interstellar network or the black hole network.

Many people who were a step slower to watch the news said they simply didn't believe the scraps of information they got from various secret channels.

"You said that the Empire, the Federation, the Covenant and even the Black Hole Network worked together to erase Adam's information? Are you still asleep?"

"Adam faked his death, lured the enemy into an ambush, and then revived to kill everyone? What a bullshit conspiracy theory. Do you think this is Star TV? It must be someone Arthur sent to fake it."

"..."

The only thing that everyone remembers is that "Qinglong and Li Ming are one."

Reynolds and Mikhail also arrived at the empire and began to purge the country internally. Even though the empire had experienced a major shock with the replacement of the ruling class, the overall situation remained stable under Li Ming's power.

The mechanical bodies began to penetrate the grassroots. There was no need to worry about external threats. Abel was even more aggressive when he took action.
Now, almost no civilization dares to openly accept the high-ranking officials who have escaped from the empire. As a last resort, they can only go into exile and flee to the interstellar border.

Costat contacted other X-level life forms, both direct and indirect, to appease and win over.

While the empire was undergoing drastic reforms, Li Ming also staggered back to the Mechanical Royal Court, came out of the stargate passage, and landed silently in the spaceship dock of the main base.

As usual, Li Ming did not alarm too many people, and only Ulrich greeted him.

"You're back..." Ulrich took a step forward, his eyes filled with admiration, fear, excitement, and a hint of discomfort.

A month and a half after the Empire War, he truly experienced unprecedented changes, not to mention countless orders.

During the docking, the S-level life forms were somewhat servile, and even the X-level life forms were very polite to him.

When Li Ming was Qinglong's student in the past, the S-level life forms were polite to him, but not as respectful as they are now.

But Ulrich was not arrogant, his attitude remained the same, but he was secretly happy in his heart.

"Yeah." Li Ming nodded, knowing that his subordinates and friends had already been shocked.

He didn't have much to say, so he got straight to the point: "How are the preparations going?"

Ulrich responded hastily: "According to your instructions, the metal materials that have been accumulated during this period, as well as the metal materials delivered by the two divine craftsmen ten days ago, have all been gathered in the Tiangong warehouse."
