My Endless Life.

Chapter 578: The Red Star King Arrives

Is this the inherited mecha? ?

Li Qi was surprised by Xinlian's answer.

He didn't doubt Xinlian's words, he just felt that it was too easy to see this inherited mecha.

Think about what Li Qi went through when he first met Xin Lian?
There was an assessment in the secret realm, the invasion of the Renaissance Society, and a fierce fight between seventh- and eighth-level warriors. Then Li Qi took advantage of the opportunity and merged the Xinlian Mecha with himself.

The spy is related to another inherited mecha. Logically speaking, even if no one else is causing trouble, it should at least go through some tests, right?
But at the moment, except for Charlotte who was almost eaten by the giant wolf, everyone else, whether it was Li Qi, Sutina, or Daya, stood in front of the inheritance mecha very easily.

Then you just need to match it with the heritage mecha, and you can perfectly obtain a heritage mecha!
The process of obtaining it was so easy and simple that Li Qi felt it was unreal.

He must not be dreaming, right?
(Rich, don't be in a daze. Since you have seen one of the Geminis so soon, it proves that one of you is highly compatible with the Geminis! Hurry up and let her match with the Geminis, and move this big guy away! My parts are under this cliff!)
While Li Qi felt it was unreal, he heard Xinlian's urging voice in his heart.

Is there anyone here who is the successor to this mecha?

Li Qi turned to Sutina and Dia.

According to common sense, Deya is most likely the successor of this mecha, because it was she who "found" the clues to the inherited mecha, it was she who activated the scroll carrying the clues, and it was she who teleported everyone here.

But reality cannot be judged by common sense.

Since the clues to the inherited mecha have brought everyone here, it proves that everyone here may be the heir of this mecha.

Even in Li Qi's view, Sutina, who met him, was more likely to be the heir of this mecha.

After all, Xinlian mentioned the [Mecha Aggregation Theory], so it is normal for people who are qualified to inherit the mecha to meet each other.

"Since the core of the mecha is right in front of us, what are you still standing there for?"

Li Qi looked at Sutina and Daiya: "Have you ever tried to connect with this core with your consciousness and try to get this inheritance mecha?"

"I tried, no response."

Sutina answered truthfully.

Li Qi looked at Dia again.

Before she could ask, Sutina said, "She can't do it either."

"I haven't tried it yet, so why do you say I can't do it?!"

After a while, Dia stood up and shouted.

Sutina glanced at her and said, "If I say no, then it's no."

She said, obviously not understanding Deya's idea of ​​letting her touch the core of the mecha.

Li Qi could understand it.

The seven kings of the pirate alliance seem to be united, but in fact there are disputes among them. It is only because their strength is similar that they maintain superficial peace.

The appearance of a mecha that is suspected to be the inheritance of an ancient empire is likely to break the balance between the seven kings. No matter who among the seven kings gets this thing, the other six kings will probably be in trouble.

So Sutina can allow others to get the inheritance mecha, but she cannot allow other pirate kings to get it, unless the person who gets the inheritance mecha is herself.

But even though Li Qi understood it, he couldn't allow himself to be trapped here forever.

He looked at Sutina and said, "If no one touches the core and merges with the mecha, we can't leave the secret realm. Do you want to be trapped here for the rest of your life?"

"There is definitely more than one entrance and exit to the secret realm. We can look for it later."

"Then aren't you afraid that someone else will get this mecha?"

"That's why I'm standing here now, waiting for someone to come."

Sutina answered truthfully.

Li Qi suddenly realized that the reason she was standing here was not just because there was no way forward, but also because she wanted to catch all those who were attracted here by the core.

Sutina didn't care who the successor was, since it wasn't her, she might as well capture all the people who came here and then find another way out.

Letting others inherit the mecha is the last option.

"… whatever you want."

Seeing that Sutina was determined, Li Qi, who couldn't beat her, didn't want to say anything more.

He walked to the side, let the giant wolf squat, and sat on it himself, and said to Sutina:

"I'm going to sit for a while. No one of you is allowed to disturb me... Miss Charlotte, please protect me. Please."

"Understood. I will protect you with my life!"

Upon hearing this, Charlotte stood in front of Li Qi with her head held high, holding a knife in one hand and staring at Sutina.

Sutina looked unhappy and said coldly: "With me by your side, do you still need someone else to protect you?"

She was talking to Li Qi and was obviously very dissatisfied with Li Qi's decision.

Li Qi closed his eyes, not even looking at her, and whispered, "It is because you are by my side that I let others protect you... Sutina, you'd better not make me hate you."

Sutina: “…”

Li Qi used the same tactics he used against Sophie Yuna on Sutina. It must be said that this method really works well against people like Sophie and Sutina who are particularly domineering and care about him a lot.

Anyway, both Sophie and Soutina fell for it. Soutina's face turned even darker, so dark that you couldn't even see her "White Queen" anymore.

But in the end, Sutina did nothing. She snorted coldly and walked aside, releasing her small flying machines and deploying them around, protecting Li Qi while also monitoring the surroundings.

Li Qi didn't care what Sutina did.

He wanted to take advantage of his free time now to sort out his consciousness.

When Li Qi entered the secret realm for the assessment, his level of consciousness was close to the middle level of the fourth stage.

After merging with Xinlian, the level of consciousness suddenly jumped to the high fourth level and is still growing slowly.

It's just that because the energy was locked, Li Qi couldn't continue to improve, so this part of the increased energy was all suppressed by Xin Lian. Otherwise, these energies would explode uncontrollably in Li Qi's body, which would probably cause Li Qi's personality to permanently change in the direction of Xin Lian.

Li Qi didn't mind becoming lively, but he didn't want to become a narcissist and love-brained person like Xin Lian.

That's why he asked Xinlian to slow down the fusion process.

Now that the bracelet has been untied and he is barely safe, Li Qi must of course transform this part of consciousness into his own strength as soon as possible!
If he could digest the accumulated consciousness during this period, Li Qi estimated that his consciousness could directly enter the fifth level!
By then, driven by his consciousness, Li Qi's magical power should be able to be upgraded to the fifth level. Coupled with the transformation of the magic device, he may be able to compete with Sutina.

This is what it means to truly have the power to protect yourself!
Closing his eyes and mobilizing his own consciousness cultivation method, the first step Li Qi took was to change the inscription on his soul.

As mentioned before, the method of cultivating consciousness is to carve special patterns on one's soul.

Levels one to three are about depiction, and starting from level four, you have to actually "use the knife" to carve patterns on the depicted pattern.

Li Qi had already engraved the mechanic's patterns on his soul when he was at the fourth level. Now that it has been changed by the mecha master's consciousness, the patterns need to be erased and re-engraved.

This was a painful process, but fortunately Xinlian's strong consciousness helped a lot.

In addition, Li Qi had been slowly changing the patterns of his consciousness during the previous fusion, so this step did not take much time at all and did not incur much pain, and it was completed quickly.

The second step is much simpler.

He re-drew the lines of consciousness and portrayed them in detail. Finally, when all the lines were drawn and completely formed, Li Qi had entered the ranks of the fifth level.

Originally, when he reached the fifth level, Li Qi needed to record the aura of his own mecha on the patterns he carved, and merge it with his own mecha step by step, until he was completely integrated with the mecha, only then he could be considered to have reached the sixth level.

But because of Xinlian, Li Qi can ignore this step. In other words, as long as he improves his consciousness step by step, he can reach the sixth level directly in no time.

This is the benefit of having a mecha master who owns a heritage mecha.

The bottlenecks of the fourth, fifth, and sixth levels were completely ignored.

It’s only a little troublesome when the seventh level needs to comprehend the rules and create a field of its own.

Li Qi didn't have to think about the sixth and seventh levels for the time being. He used some time to integrate his consciousness and raised his consciousness level to the fifth level. Li Qi first sensed the fifth-level consciousness ability, then opened his eyes and looked around.

The time had turned from day to evening, but Sutina and others were still on guard around them and did not sleep.

After the consciousness is raised to the fourth level, practitioners no longer need to sleep to replenish their spirits. Especially when there may be danger around, sleep is an extremely unnecessary thing.

Sutina and others are now unsure whether anyone else will come to the secret realm, so staying alert all night is the most basic operation.

Seeing that there was no movement around, Li Qi closed his eyes again, using his consciousness to drive his own magic power, allowing his own magic power to break through the barrier from the fourth level to the fifth level.

Only at this time did Li Qi understand why this world uses consciousness as the main method of cultivation.

Consciousness is a panacea-like ability in the interstellar age.

It allows you to easily possess superpowers, can easily promote the advancement of martial arts or magic, can also control interstellar battleships and giant mechas, and can also comply with the rules of the world and reach the pinnacle of the ninth level!

For example, now, after his consciousness power was upgraded to the fifth level, Li Qi's own magic power was also constantly increasing. It didn't take much time to successfully upgrade to the fifth level.

Equivalent to the level of consciousness.

Improve, stabilize... After completing these operations and making sure that even the magic power had stabilized at the fifth level, Li Qi slowly opened his eyes.

"call--"

He exhaled lightly and gripped the magic device tightly.

Since the breakthrough, Li Qi has been maintaining the state of magic device transformation, and therefore his current strength is strictly speaking between the sixth and fifth levels.

With this strength... he shouldn't have to worry about Sutina really doing anything to him.

Thinking of this, Li Qi looked at Sutina.

But he saw Soutine frowning and looking to the other side.

"...?" With a bad feeling in his heart, Li Qi also followed Sutina's gaze.

Then... he saw a miniaturized mecha, dragging a stone man and carrying a man with pointy ears, walking towards this side.

Seeing the man coming, Li Qi took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

Well, he really didn't have to worry about Sutina anymore.

Because someone stronger has arrived.

The Red Star King, the leader of the seven pirate kings, now stood before them.
