This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 719: Wandering Era Continues to Strengthen
"It's even faster than expected. It's only been half a year..."

Alves stood in front of the huge virtual screen and looked at the scene. It seemed to be outside a galaxy that was gradually shrouded by gray-black fog and was spreading outward rapidly.

Among them, various strange warships can be vaguely seen.

Before evacuating, each civilization left behind observation stations along the way to determine what happened next.

"According to this time estimate, it won't be long before it spreads to our former territory." Alvis sighed and turned to look at Charles and the other two beside him: "Gentlemen, are you sure that the Abyss Mist will not expand to every corner of the universe?"

"That's for sure." Charles nodded firmly. "According to clear records, the Abyss Mist has at most spread to one-tenth of the known universe."

"Even though many things that are not in accordance with the law have happened in your evolutionary era, the main universe will not allow it to expand too much, and it will cause instinctive resistance."

"That's good." Malcolm beside him nodded. Abel and Antigo were both there. This was a high-level interstellar meeting.

Charles reminded, "I suggest you send out a vanguard team to open up a star gate in the designated area first, and then use the star gate to make a long-distance jump. Otherwise, such a large team will sail too slowly."

"We're already doing it." Malcolm nodded, but Antigo couldn't help but sigh and looked at the screen.

The scene above has been zoomed in, showing an abstract map of interstellar territory. I can't help but say, "I wonder if there will be a chance to come back."

return?

Charles couldn't help but look at the three of them, who seemed to be still unwilling.

He had thought they should evacuate a long time ago, but it was too late now.

Still hoping to come back, it's really... fearless.

"By the way, Lord Charles, are there any remnants of an earlier evolved civilization at the edge of the universe?" Malcolm asked.

"This..." Charles thought, "I'm not sure. The universe is expanding all the time. No one knows where the edge is. As for the remnants of other evolved civilizations..."

His voice gradually drifted away, like a vast, boundless interstellar wandering fleet, heading towards the farther reaches of the universe.

The passage of time is almost imperceptible in the desolate universe. The wandering fleets are not gathered together. In order to avoid being swallowed up by the three major civilizations, many civilizations have left and are only engaged in daily communication.

Later, daily communication became less and less frequent, and since the interstellar space entered the wandering era, a new era algorithm has been used.

From the release of the joint announcement, it will be recorded as the first year of the Wandering Record.

It is now the fourth year of the Wandering Era. The huge fleet carrying interstellar citizens has made a long voyage and has gradually formed a new ecology.

"Please note - the artificial sun is about to go out. To save energy, please return to the capsule."

The cold voice echoed in the fortress space. In the criss-crossing metal corridors, a large number of living beings were walking around, and their faces did not look good.

Thick trees grow up from the lower space, and they are the only green.
"Fuck, it's fine that the artificial sun is shortened from twelve hours to eight hours, but now they don't even give us the moon?" A young man cursed, but could only return to the living cabin helplessly.

As an ordinary citizen, he can only live in a mezzanine bed cabin with a height of only 50 centimeters. The entertainment facility is an LCD screen embedded above his head.

Of the twenty-four hours in a day, at least sixteen are filled with advertisements, leaving only eight hours for you to use freely.

"…According to the news from the Vanguard, a new habitable planet has been discovered ahead. Citizens who wish to disembark, please submit your application as soon as possible…"

As the news was being broadcast on the screen, he couldn't help but snort, "Applications, applications are already queued up to dozens of places."

Having said that, he couldn't help but click the apply button.

Although it is only the fourth year of the wandering era, those days of living under the blue sky have become blurred.

Maybe before long, you won’t even appear in my dreams.

……

At the same time, in a spaceship wandering in the unknown starry sky.

Boiling energy particles surged on Li Ming's body surface, and were gradually swallowed up by his skin, converging into the invisible.

He slowly opened his eyes, and the throbbing hidden in his eyes flashed away.

Li Ming took a long breath and calmed down. His heart beat faster and faster. Even he couldn't help feeling a little excited at this moment.

Feeling the familiar feeling of stagnation coming from his body cells, Li Ming can be sure that his development progress has reached 100% even without any instrument testing.

"Finally this day has come..." Li Ming stood up and stretched his limbs. He heard crackling sounds deep in his flesh and blood, which had been going on since he entered the Wandering Era.

He has been developing gene seeds non-stop, racing against Yongyuan until this moment.

I switched the control object and got a slight feel for Yongyuan's activity.

"80%..." Li Ming couldn't help but grin.

This level of activity has long been considered “high”.

Theoretically, the Abyss Lord can already bless the Overlord in the main universe. But according to the information he has learned, this level of activity can only support the Abyss Lord to bless the Eternal Abyss Overlord in the Abyss Mist.

If you want to bless the Lord of Eternal Abyss in any corner of the universe, you need more activity.

"Tsk tsk, it seems I have a small victory." Li Ming was not surprised. Yongyuan's activity level was not getting faster and faster, but slower and slower, because the main universe would suppress it.

Especially since Yongyuan became active, Li Ming has not allowed even one ultimate life form to be born in this interstellar space.

The current situation is that the main universe does not need Yongyuan to come out to work, but the Lord of the Abyss insists on coming out, so even if every effort is made, the speed cannot be increased.

Of course, this kind of victory only means that the Lord of the Abyss is completely unable to do anything to him. As for whether he can defeat the Lord of the Abyss, it remains unknown.

While thinking in his mind, his figure flashed and he disappeared in the spaceship and arrived at the [Realm of Mavilas].

The former Mechanical Royal Court has been completely moved in and is still operating here, but due to interstellar wandering.

This has led to a significant weakening of the collection of metal materials. Over the past three years, the metal energy balance has barely returned to 200 billion.

Arriving at the Dominant Laboratory, Sheffield and others were still intensively researching the ultimate gene seed.

"Stop what you are doing..." Li Ming's voice suddenly rang out. Sheffield and others were startled and quickly came to their senses.

Seeing that several people had already stood up, Li Ming asked, "How far has the development of the Ultimate Gene Seed progressed?"

"At present, we are still in the packaging stage, and there are still a few problems that have not been solved..." Sheffield couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

"Well, give me one for now..." Li Ming's heart moved slightly, and he said: "Well, three..."

"Three copies?" Sheffield was shocked and couldn't help but say, "The Ultimate Gene Seed has not yet entered the stage where it can be fused. If it is used, there will be unpredictable consequences."

Sheffield and others' current research no longer needs to be isolated from the outside world, as they all know that the interstellar world has entered an era of wandering.

Li Ming even moved their family, subordinates and company here.

Sheffield also thought that Li Ming wanted to create a few more ultimate life forms to deal with the crisis of Yongyuan.

"I know, just give me three copies." Li Ming frowned slightly.

Seeing that Li Ming was somewhat unhappy, Sheffield did not dare to say anything more. He hurriedly took out three embryos sealed in special glass jars from a special storage cabinet and handed them to Li Ming.

"Well, please continue." After Li Ming took it, he turned around and disappeared, leaving Sheffield and others looking at each other in bewilderment.

Back on the spaceship, Li Ming walked out of the cabin and looked around. "This place is pretty good. This is it."

First he put away his little spaceship. With a wave of his hand, Li Ming appeared in front of him, seven syringes, each different, with names marked on them -
[Thunder Leopard], [Purple Lightning Bear]…

It is the name of the gene seed that he fused from F-level to S-level, and it is the gene source essence.

He could also fill his genetic defects by extracting X-level gene essence from others, but Li Ming made a choice and finally chose this native evolutionary route.

After all, it involves the ultimate gene source, so its strength should be much stronger than that of X-level gene source.

His eyes were fixed on the [Jingleibao Gene Source] on the far left. Everything was ready, so he did not hesitate and reached out to pick it up.

A bloody crack appeared in the elbow, and the needle went straight into the blood vessel, pushing the light golden substance inside.

In an instant, his body emitted a blazing electric arc light that rushed out from the pores of his skin, and the activity of cells in his body surged.

boom!
The heart was beating violently, and it felt like something in the body was torn apart, and the cells were frantically devouring the nutrients inside the body.

His physical condition was improving rapidly, and cell activity was soaring. As he continued to evolve, the gene seed of the Jingleibao, which had long been insignificant, quickly became noticeable again.

However, although this enhancement was drastic, it was not a transformation of the life level after all, and it ended quickly.

Electric arcs continued to burst out from Li Ming's body. The energy concentration and intensity increased dramatically, and he even gained a new ability.

With a little force, a layer of thunder armor will spread across the body surface, like a protective armor, which is difficult to break.

After a brief experience, Li Ming's eyes lit up. "It has soared directly from F level to X level. The improvement is indeed huge. The energy level has soared directly to 370X, a full 150X increase."

When the development progress reaches 100%, his normal energy level reaches 220X, and this improvement is huge.

Looking at the remaining gene source, Li Ming became more and more impatient.

Next, the starry sky was almost covered by surging energy, thunder, flames, and even strong winds, boiling endlessly.

Its energy intensity is getting higher and higher, the void is trembling slightly, and cracks are gradually emerging.

But then, mercury-like ripples suddenly appeared in the void, and a silver chain emerged. Hexagonal spots of light floated on the surface of the chain links, and each spot of light imprisoned a miniature stable force field.

Silver-blue arcs burst out from the intersection of the chains, welding the free energy turbulence to fixed coordinates, and the originally vibrating space folds were violently flattened.
