This is not mechanical ascension...

"Li Ming!" Costat's eyes suddenly lit up and he couldn't help but shout.

Li Ming released the Mechanical Holy Spirit. In that state, he needed to call upon more abilities at the same time, and the consumption of metal energy was even more exaggerated.

After a rough glance, this battle consumed a total of 80 billion metal energies, which was no different from a flood.

"You, are you okay?" Reynolds rushed forward and everyone was very excited.

"good."

"What's going on inside?" Alves couldn't help but ask. Looking at the state when Li Ming just appeared, it seemed to be a new combat form, which was enough to show that he was facing the enemy.

"It's a bit complicated to explain..." Li Ming pondered for a moment, "I barely managed to destroy Yongyuan's method."

"Destroyed?" Everyone's expression froze, and then they showed excitement. Although they didn't know what Yong Yuan was trying to do, this was definitely good news.

That place was protected by fourteen Eternal Abyss Lords, yet Li Ming still succeeded.

As expected of you!

"So what's next..." Anatoly couldn't help but ask.

"Next, prepare to evacuate." Li Ming glanced at him.

"Evacuate?"

The excited expressions on everyone's faces froze. They had destroyed Yong Yuan's plan, but they still had to evacuate?

"What else?" Li Ming shook his head. "You don't think it's over, do you? That was just Yongyuan's trick. After I destroyed it, he became even more angry. Next, he will erode the universe at all costs."

"The Interstellar Alliance is no match for our opponent. There is no point in staying here except to cause more casualties."

The previous resistance was to delay the spread of the abyss fog as much as possible. The historical mission has been completed.

Everyone felt as if a basin of cold water was poured on them, and the joy they had just felt disappeared completely.

"We need to evacuate not only here, but also the entire interstellar space. What will follow will be Yongyuan's most violent counterattack." Li Ming further emphasized.

"This..." Everyone was even more confused. After resisting for such a long time, they suddenly had to withdraw completely?

"Is there no other way?" Costat couldn't help asking with a bitter look on his face.

Yes, wait until I become the ultimate life form.

Li Ming responded in his heart but did not say it out loud.

To outsiders, he is already the ultimate life form, so why does he need to evolve into the ultimate life form? These guys may not believe it.

"Get ready as soon as possible. In the short term, Lord Yongyuan will not appear in the main universe. There should be enough time." Li Ming changed the subject.

Everyone was silent, and responded, "I understand."

Although this order came extremely suddenly, these guys were experienced in many battles after all. They quickly calmed down and went back to prepare for the evacuation.

Only Li Ming stayed here. He stretched out his hand and pulled out a member of the Yuan clan from the void. After being strengthened, the gray-white skin was filled with black lines and became more violent.

"Lord Yuan will destroy this era of evolution, including you!" He stared at Li Ming.

Li Ming was too lazy to pay attention and poked it with one finger.

boom!
The corpse exploded, and broken black flesh and blood scattered all over the ground. When it came into contact with the metal deck under his feet, it immediately changed.

It seemed to be highly corrosive, and it made a hissing sound when it came into contact with the deck. The flesh and blood quickly decomposed and gradually spread into a gray-black mist.

“Sure enough…” Li Ming’s expression changed. The strengthening of the Abyss Lords not only improved the life levels of these Abyss Lords.

After death, they will turn into balls of abyss fog. The more people die, the faster the abyss fog expands.

In the past, ordinary Yuan people did not possess such ability.

"You have so many tricks." Li Ming glanced at the abyss of fog, and a green flame ignited, burning it completely, and then disappeared here.

After returning to the central command, Kostat had already issued an order, which was quickly transmitted to various defense nodes.

The many soldiers who were holding their posts were a little confused at first, but after they confirmed that it was an order to retreat, they couldn't help but get excited.

In their view, the Yuan clan had withdrawn its troops some time ago, and now they were retreating again, which might mean that they had already achieved some kind of victory.

For a moment, many soldiers cried for joy.

Costat did not specify why they evacuated. It couldn't be said that they were completely unable to defeat the next enemy, so they just had to run for their lives.

For the sake of military morale, they could only cover it up with vague words.

He issued a retreat order of the highest standard. Some unimportant items did not even need to be retrieved and could just be left where they were.

At the same time, Li Ming also convened a summit meeting of the three major civilizations.

The virtual conference room was filled with gloom and sadness.

"Is there no choice but to retreat?" Malcolm couldn't help but ask.

"If you want to resist, you can stay." Li Ming respects the fate of others very much and will notify them, but he will not force those who don't want to leave.

"That's not what I meant." Malcolm smiled bitterly and said carefully, "You didn't tell me before, but are you 50% sure of the bottom line?"

"Yes, it's still a guaranteed 50% now." Li Ming nodded as a matter of course, "Don't you understand? I'm asking you to evacuate now for your own good. In fact, whether you evacuate or not doesn't make much difference to me."

After a pause, he added: "That can't be said. If I stay, I might be able to contribute to Yongyuan's activity."

Malcolm paused, his mind a little confused. But Abel figured it out. Based on his understanding of Li Ming, he roughly guessed, "You mean, the evacuation is only temporary?"

Malcolm smiled bitterly, "Can you tell me what the situation is now? Is there any chance for us to come back? That way we can be prepared."

Li Ming thought for a moment and said, "Now it's a time race between Yong Yuan and me. Let's see who is faster."

Malcolm looked slightly shocked. Race against time?
What this means is that Li Ming and Yong Yuan both have stage goals, and whoever achieves them first will have the advantage?
"How can we help, Blood Mist?" Malcolm thought of the first thing.

"No need." Li Ming shook his head.

"Don't worry about it so much now." Malcolm couldn't help but said, "If you have any psychological burden, we will do it."

"No." Li Ming frowned. "It's too late. The Abyss Mist will soon penetrate into the main universe. Our universe is the main target."

The universe is boundless, so the abyss of fog naturally does not permeate every corner at the same time.

The starry sky where they are located is actually the center of the universe, and the abyss of fog will expand in all directions from here.

Without blood species, the blood mist's autonomous expansion speed is too slow. Before it can take shape, the abyss mist may have already arrived and it will be swallowed up in reverse.

Malcolm looked a little disappointed, "Okay."

"Calling on the stars to prepare for a mass migration, the sooner the better."

Li Ming left this sentence and ended the communication.

Malcolm and the other two looked at each other, gathered themselves together, and prepared to hold a meeting.

In the Mechanical Royal Court, the shadows around them dissipated. Li Ming summoned Ulrich and issued an order: "Prepare to send all members of the Royal Court to the World Channel. Prepare to evacuate from this interstellar space."

The so-called world channel is the external channel leading to the realm of Mavilas.

Evacuate!

Ulrich was startled, then nodded solemnly, "I understand."

Several figures flashed through Li Ming's mind, including Wu Yanqing, "We have to take them away as well."

"By the way, there is also Senior Brother Yaluo, who seems to be still in that civilization..." Li Ming suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but touch his nose, feeling quite embarrassed.

Yaluo was once the only person who knew that Qinglong and Li Ming were one, so Li Ming had never paid any attention to him before.

As time went by, he forgot about his good senior brother.

Now that they were about to evacuate, he remembered it and immediately gave orders to send someone to pick them up.

.........

The three major civilizations acted very quickly, and the "Statement to All Interstellar Civilizations, Organizations, and Citizens" drafted by many civilizations was announced quickly.

It roughly explains how powerful and terrifying the enemies in the deep dimensional world are. After using all means to fight against them, they find that they are still defeated. The next main goal of each interstellar civilization is to prepare for evacuation and carry out a large-scale migration.

Civilizations that are unable to carry out large-scale migrations can apply for support from higher civilizations.

When this statement came out, it was like a nuclear bomb, blowing up the entire galaxy.

"Big, big, big migration? Am I seeing right? We are going to retreat from this star system?"

"Why are you withdrawing suddenly? Didn't we get good news a while ago?"

"Escape? Fuck, what are the three major civilizations doing? There is also a joint organization of higher life forms. Where is Qinglong? Isn't Qinglong the ultimate life form? Give some strength!"

"... "

One stone can cause a thousand ripples. Although the war is in full swing, for many people, the war in that dimensional world is still far away from their lives.

But this sudden statement broke the peace of many people.

Migration, wandering, unknown, abandoning home.

Each word irritates the nerves of many interstellar citizens, causing natural resistance, fear, and anger to arise in their hearts.

Some people vented their anger toward various advanced civilizations, hoping that they could shoulder their due responsibilities instead of just thinking about running away.

Another group of people said that they would never leave their hometown even if they died.

The smarter guys have already started preparing for escape and quickly purchased various supplies.

The mass migration of an entire interstellar civilization sounds like a fairy tale.

It is actually very difficult to implement.

Riots, killings, resistance, all kinds of evil in human nature were triggered, like waves, flashing away in the huge waves of the times.

However, the general trend is irreversible, and the interstellar world is gradually entering an era of wandering.

……

The Sanchez Cluster, located at the border between the Federation and the Empire, has sixteen civilizations inside, and they began evacuating in full swing as soon as the joint announcement was issued.

On one of the planets, tall buildings stand in rows, and the prosperity of the past has become a thing of the past.

There was no living being on the street. Suddenly, a wisp of gray-black mist seeped out from the void and flowed on the street like overflowing liquid, expanding in all directions at an extremely fast speed.
