This is not mechanical ascension...

The Black Book belongs to the Titan Lord, Terravic, and can exert powerful abilities by regulating various cosmic parameters.

It can even control time and space parameters, but it is far from the strength of the Void Anchor and the Star of Eternal Silence.

According to the records in the chronicles, Li Ming can simply summarize it as - a complete collection of supernatural powers.

He stretched out his hand, and the Black Book seemed to be summoned by something. The energy shield on the surface slowly faded away and then fell in front of Li Ming.

The cover was covered with spider-web-like cracks, and a faint blue light seeped through each gap.

When fingers brush across the metal surface, the cracks will shrink and expand like living things, revealing the slowly flowing liquid light underneath.

The pages of the book are thicker than armor plates, and when they are turned, they make a crisp metallic sound like gears turning.

Li Ming took a closer look and found no obvious hinge structure inside. It should be the owner's unique aesthetic taste that caused this sound.

The edges of each page bear wavy burn marks from being melted by high temperatures, and the pages are engraved with complex symbols and patterns.

There were not many pages. Li Ming counted them carefully and found that there were thirteen pages in total, with no missing pages.

[Black Book - Sub-Ultimate (Damaged): The ultimate weapon created by the Titan civilization with all its strength, it has the powerful power to regulate the parameters of the universe.

Control conditions: 40 billion metal energy
Mastery Effect: Sage

Ability to control - Encyclopedia of supernatural powers: Can control the parameters of the universe to a certain extent, so as to use various abilities and obtain energy intensity blessings equal to spiritual blessings.

Note: Damaged state, limited strength]

Li Ming examined it carefully and found that the degree of damage was not serious. Perhaps it was because this thing was basically difficult to fight against people head-on.

The ability was pretty much what he imagined, but the second half of the sentence was somewhat unexpected.

"An energy blessing with the same intensity as spiritual blessing..." Li Ming's eyes moved slightly. It sounds good.

His current fighting style is quite simple. The fundamental reason is that his own energy intensity cannot keep up at all. It is still at the X-level and is not pleasing to the eye.

If the energy intensity is also raised, it would be good.

"I guess the wise man is the spiritual blessing..." Li Ming guessed in his mind, immediately took control, and then checked the effect.

[Wise: Gain 500 times the spiritual blessing and have extremely high resistance to mental interference. ]

As expected... Li Ming looked not surprised, and then tried to put it into the main control column.

In an instant, Li Ming shuddered, and then took a breath of cold air. He felt as if he had just woken up and a basin of ice water was poured over his head.

The whole person suddenly woke up and felt extremely refreshed.

The view before my eyes became extremely clear, a clarity of an abstract concept, as if I could see the laws governing the deep operation of the universe.

The slightest movement of his mind could easily influence him, and without him making any movement, a constant stream of energy gathered from all directions.

Aggregation and fission, from a flame to an ice cone, then to metal, and even to a simple life form, this is a change in the material level.

"It's really a completely different feeling..." Li Ming was quite surprised, and he became playful and kept trying.

There is another benefit of spiritual blessing, which is reaction speed.

"The problem has finally been solved..." Li Ming was in a good mood.

His overall strength is now extremely strong, but correspondingly, his reaction speed simply cannot keep up with the ultimate level of combat, and it is basically the Spear of Kashmir that drags him along every time.

Such limitations are too great. Once the advantage is no longer there, it is easy to fall into a passive position and be beaten.

He had long known that reaction speed was limited by spiritual power, but raising spiritual power to the ultimate level was not an easy task.

The Black Book fills this gap. While gaining spiritual blessing, it also increases energy intensity, killing two birds with one stone.

After a quick glance at the control page, there were still 20 billion left, which was not enough for the 30 billion needed for repairs.

Li Ming didn't care. He left a mark here and went directly back to the Mechanical Royal Court, which immediately drained away nearly 2 billion pieces of metal energy from him.

During this period, the Mechanical Royal Court accumulated a large amount of metal materials. After absorbing all of them, it obtained nearly 40 billion metal energies.

It cost 30 billion to completely repair the [Book of Black].

The cracks on the surface of the restored Black Book have disappeared without a trace, and it has become a complete piece.

Since the degree of damage itself is not high, there is not much change in its ability, only the strength is improved.

The spiritual blessing of [Sage] increased from five hundred times to one thousand times, and the annotation in the ability also disappeared.

"Superpowers..."

In the room, Li Ming experienced the Black Book's strength being increased again.

It can be said that the upper limit of the Black Book is much higher than he imagined, and it all depends on the imagination of the user.

According to the records in the Titan Chronicles, it can be used to predict the future, curse, resurrect, etc., which are things that are difficult to do with common sense.

Of course, this is all relative. For example, it is definitely impossible to resurrect a life form at the dominant level.

"Let me think about it..." Li Ming thought in his heart, and then he had an idea. Ripples appeared in the void in front of him, and silver lights intertwined.

Like cracks in ice that suddenly condensed, silver light poured into the cracks like liquid mercury, and these light streams quickly weaved into a neural network-like matrix.

Quantum sparks burst out at every intersection, extracting all kinds of information from the void.

The metal energy was consumed rapidly, and the captured quantum information appeared in the optical network. The information spectrum in this area had become completely disordered.

The quantum fragments automatically pieced together under the traction of the magnetic field, gradually constructing a translucent humanoid hologram. It was not tall, but rather short, like a child.

The edge of the matrix suddenly lit up, all the silver light gathered together, and suddenly disappeared into the void.

Li Ming's eyes moved slightly, and a coordinate information emerged in his mind. He couldn't help but be a little surprised, "I really found it, so amazing?"

Thinking in his mind, based on this coordinate information, the matrix in front of him changed again, from a quantum anchored light network to a mirror composed of circles of symbols.

The scene gradually became clear. It seemed to be a spaceship with two girls, who did not look too old, sitting opposite each other and seemed to be communicating.

It was the Prophet and the Virgin Mary, their eyes were closed, energy was flowing around them, and they seemed to be absorbing energy.

"It's really them..." Li Ming stared at the mirror in front of him. In the past, he always won by force, and this rather complicated method was rarely used.

That’s right, Li Ming was just using the Black Book to try to predict the locations of the Prophet and the Virgin Mary.

He did not save the information status of the two people, but only used a series of general words such as face and title for prediction.

The universe records everything that happens at all times and is a natural witness.

But there must be a certain method to read the desired information from it, and the Black Book can be said to be the key.

In the spaceship room, the prophet who was absorbing external energy to restore to her peak state as soon as possible suddenly opened her eyes. Her mental strength was extremely high, and she had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

"What's wrong?" The Virgin Mary noticed the prophet's reaction and opened her eyes to ask. "I feel like something is staring at us." The prophet looked around with a frown.

"What is it?" The Virgin Mary's face changed slightly. She stood up immediately and looked around cautiously.

The prophet's young face was extremely solemn, with silver light flashing in his pupils. Waves of mental fluctuations gradually emanated out, but to no avail.

“Not here…” The prophet’s expression became more serious.

"Is it Yongyuan?" The Virgin Mary's face turned pale and she couldn't help asking.

"No, it's not that..." The prophet shook his head, "The gaze of the Eternal Abyss is too terrifying."

"It's not Yongyuan?" The Virgin Mary's expression relaxed, but she said: "If it's not Yongyuan, who else could it be? We have already escaped from the boundaries of the known stars. We are so far away? Who else can do it?"

At this point, she whispered, "Maybe your body is still too weak to bear your spiritual body, which is too sensitive."

“No, no…” The prophet was very sure. When he was about to speak again, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he saw in the void not far from them, silver lights intertwined and gradually outlined a figure.

Instantly, the prophet's pupils contracted, and he cried out in a lost voice: "Qing, Qinglong!?"

The Virgin Mary also stood there in a daze, a chill running down her spine.

Not long ago, I said with certainty that the other party couldn't find me, but just a few months later, the other party appeared before me.

"You two, long time no see." Li Ming's shadow said with a smile, then pondered: "That's not right, it seems like we have never really met..."

This is certainly not his real body. It is just a phantom that descended remotely with the help of the Black Book's various abilities. It has no lethality.

The two were horrified to the extreme, staring at the guy in front of them with extreme vigilance, but secretly gritting their teeth. How vengeful was this guy? Even with Yongyuan being the enemy at hand, he still wanted to find them.

"I said last time that we should have a face-to-face chat. What do you two think?" Li Ming asked.

"Sir Qinglong, we are faced with the powerful enemy of Yongyuan, why do you keep chasing us?" The prophet pleaded helplessly.

"Chasing you?" Li Ming stroked his chin. He just wanted to test the power of the Black Book, but he didn't want to explain. He said:

"I need to make sure there is no problem with what you said last time. You can't just back off and say whether you believe it or not."

The Virgin Mary took a deep breath and could not help but say, "We are reminding you because we are all life forms from the same evolutionary era. You cannot repay kindness with enmity."

"Repaying kindness with enmity?" Li Ming almost couldn't help laughing. After thinking for a while, he said, "If this counts as repaying kindness with enmity, then what does this count as?"

Having said that, he suddenly gave a strange smile.

Immediately afterwards, a dark green light suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, and the invisible force outlined a five-pointed star mark.

Then it split into two, floating towards the Prophet and the Virgin Mary respectively.

The Prophet and the Virgin Mary were both alarmed and subconsciously took action to stop it. In front of the Virgin Mary's eyes, purple light intertwined into an energy shield.

But the dark green pentagram seemed to have no substance and easily broke through the energy shield.

The prophet used mental defense, and an invisible mental shield lingered around her, but it only blocked for a moment, and she watched helplessly as the dark green pentagram was imprinted on her forehead.

The moment it fell, the pentagram symbol spread out a dark green network, instantly covering the two people's bodies. A chilling feeling that penetrated deep into their bones made them feel as if they were falling into an icy cave.

Li Ming smiled and said, "This is a curse that will gradually erode your consciousness and bodies. The closer you are to me, the weaker the intensity will be, and the farther you are from me, the stronger the intensity will be. I hope you two can return as soon as possible."

The two men glared at each other immediately, but they didn't seem to be threatening at all. Li Ming said "tsk", shook his head and said, "Appearances can be deceiving, what a pity."

The next moment, his shadow dissipated here.

The Virgin Mary looked grim. It was not until long after Li Ming disappeared that she asked cautiously, "Is he gone?"

"It's time to go." The prophet sighed.

"Hurry, hurry up and use the black goat egg to reshape the beef body again." The Virgin Mary said hurriedly.

The prophet smiled bitterly, "It's useless. Qinglong is just casting another curse. The more bodies we exchange, the more damage we will suffer. The final result will still be the same."

"Isn't he a genetically evolved being? How could he be proficient in this method..." The prophet couldn't figure it out.
"His true form must be very far away from us. This kind of long-distance communication and curse is not so easy to achieve even for the ultimate life forms at the relevant evolutionary level."

"Then we can only go back?" The Virgin Mary couldn't help but said, feeling dejected. Going back to face Qinglong directly was a risk, and at the same time, she might also face Yongyuan, which was an even greater risk.

Then he gritted his teeth and said, "I shouldn't have reminded him!"

The prophet sighed, "Let's go back. He probably doesn't want to kill us. He just wants to confirm our news. It's nothing more than letting him remember it at a glance."

Take a look at the memory? The Virgin Mary's face turned pale, then red, and she said hatefully: "It's better to die!"

No matter how harsh their words were, no matter how much they valued their lives, even if they were unwilling, they had no choice but to turn the spaceship around and return home.

……

"Interesting..." Li Ming didn't expect that after some operations, he would force the Prophet and the Virgin Mary back.

To be honest, he really had no idea in this regard at first, so it can be considered an unexpected gain.

After taking a look at the metal energy balance, he found that the previous operation had consumed nearly 3 billion metal energies.

The main thing is that searching for two people consumes a lot of time. If there is information state, it will save a lot.

He actually wanted to search the memories of the two people directly, but unfortunately he couldn't do it for the time being because it involved another form of pheromone exchange, and long-distance curses were already the limit.

After dealing with this matter, Li Ming glanced at the smart terminal again. There was a battle report from the deep dimensional world. Holmes was corroded and then died in battle.

Li Ming remembered the former anchor bearer of the Federation. The two had once had a confrontation.

He shook his head. This was not the first X-level life form to die.

He only has eight mechanical guards, and it is impossible for them to take care of all the battlefields, so casualties are inevitable.

In addition to the mechanical guards, most of the high-end mechanical bodies under his command were also invested.

"27%. The increase in activity has indeed been curbed." Li Ming felt it.

After looking at the route of the other Star Gate team, which was still some time away from the coordinate location, he pondered for a moment and continued to enter the development state.

Holmes' death seemed to be a sign that the war in the deep dimensional world had completely entered a white-hot stage.

In the following period of time, high-intensity wars continued to occur, the intensity of which left Charles and others dumbfounded. Even in the Titan era, wars of this intensity would only occur in the later stages.

A steady stream of X-level life forms rushed out from the deep fog.

The number of dead higher-level interstellar life forms is also increasing. Defense nodes are constantly being breached and the defense line is shrinking. Fortunately, the existence of the eight mechanical guards has greatly reduced the pressure on the line.

However, this also greatly delayed Li Ming's development speed, as if it was a dead end with two problems blocked at both ends, which made Li Ming quite uncomfortable.

This situation lasted for a while, and the Star Gate team heading to another holy castle finally arrived at the designated coordinates.
