Chapter 345: Are we really going to choose a successor? The Holy Mother Church's ambush!

Everyone here was stunned, looking at each other, and then they were filled with resentment.

"What? The Holy Elephant of Domination is actually fake?"

"Damn, I spent millions of star coins to get in..."

“…”

There was constant noise below, with people, both familiar and unfamiliar, talking to each other.

Gaint couldn't help but nod his head. This plan was indeed useful. The person who was secretly plotting against it naturally couldn't place the illusion directly in the central world.

That would be too easy to be exposed. Since the other party is not coming, they can show it for the other party and then expose it to prove it.

Even if there are traces of the Holy Elephant again, it is unlikely to cause any major disturbance.

"Someone actually tried to overthrow the empire. What a pipe dream." He felt contemptuous.

But at this moment, he was suddenly overcome by an indescribable feeling of fear.

above!

He suddenly looked up, his pupils suddenly contracted, and saw a platinum light descending from the sky. The space around him suddenly condensed countless times, and he could not move.

boom!

Everything went dark before his eyes, and a big foot stepped down hard, his facial bones broke, his eyeballs exploded, and he fell like a meteor.

Bang!

The ground shook, but the ripples were not big, as if they had stopped in an instant.

Looking up, I saw many living beings standing there in a daze, and then they all looked towards the place where the meteor fell.

Then, they slowly opened their mouths in various shapes.

I saw a giant platinum mechanical elephant gradually expanding, with smooth and powerful lines. The mechanical components were faintly visible under the cover of the platinum light. The metal armor had a smooth texture, with light flowing on it. The elephant's trunk swung up, and the crackling sound was like thunder.

His head was held high, and his forehead was broad, on which was inlaid a huge diamond-shaped crystal. The dazzling light was like the collapse of mountains and seas, sweeping up like a raging hurricane, grand and majestic.

At the same time, a vast spiritual wave swept across the entire central space. "I am the Ruler of the Holy Elephant. Next, I will choose my master here, the successor of the Hammersmith!"

………

"Sir, which direction should we jump to next?" Lauren knocked on the door and asked with a pious look.

"47 degrees west..." Li Ming reported the direction in the room.

Upon hearing this, Lauren immediately went to the cockpit to input the coordinates.

They were sailing in the white fog. During the more than ten days of sailing, Lauren was completely convinced. Under Li Ming's guidance, they encountered almost no risks in the dimensional world.

Most of the dimensional worlds we passed through were B-level, with only a few A-level worlds. The journey was peaceful and uneventful.

It was as if they were not exploring an unknown area of ​​the dimensional world, but were taking a safe passage.

This is an unrecorded route, but they can make a lot of money just from this route when they return.

Lauren once thought that Li Ming had already known this route, but if he knew it, he could just input it into the navigation state, without having to stop for a moment and give guidance every time he came to a new dimensional world.

"Incredible luck, or there is a way to find out the situation of the surrounding dimensional world..." Lauren pondered in his mind, and he was more inclined to the former. If it was the latter, wouldn't this dimensional world become the other party's back garden?

Li Ming... Li Ming... She was unfamiliar with this name and didn't know if it was the other person's real name.

Unfortunately, in the dimensional world, there are only a limited number of places that can be connected to the main universe network, or use extremely high-end communicators, so she has no way to search.

Robin was no longer surprised. Anyone who spent a long time with Li Ming would be impressed by his endless variety of tactics.

In the room, Li Ming stood up and stood in front of the porthole. There was a vast white fog outside the window. This was a dimensional world shrouded in fog.

As the mist rolled, they could see a few fleshy, misty creatures in the distance, looking at their spaceship curiously.

"15%..." Li Ming felt a sense of shackles in his mind. This was a sign of a highly developed brain and the birth of mental power. It was an additional benefit of the evolutionary process, and there were many similar benefits.

The development progress has reached 15%, the burst energy level exceeds 30A, the strength has increased significantly, and the perception of information state has become more acute. He can barely capture the information state of some ordinary objects, such as the main material structure and existence time.

"There are still two or three dimensional worlds to go..." Li Ming guessed the reason why he came to this place.

It is also to have a deeper understanding of the Terrax civilization and to figure out what kind of environment the Terrax Stone will appear in.

When I walked out of the room, Robin was chatting with Lauren. He was quite curious about the Yongyao Federation.

When everyone saw him come out, they couldn't help but restrain their expressions.

Although they didn't know Li Ming's specific strength, Robin was an A-level life form. This guy was quite polite to Li Ming and obviously regarded him as the leader.

After chatting for a while, Li Ming thought about Chlonoa's affairs.

During this period, he would occasionally try to control the [Heart of Talos], not for the sake of taking risks, but to find out the specific situation.

[Heart of Talos] is a top-notch item and the core of the current control system. It cannot be wasted like this.

Every time he took control, he had an inexplicable feeling that something in the depths of the dimensional world was attracting him. He now knew that it was Chlonoa.

But at the same time, there was a vague sense of unease. Occasionally, one could vaguely see a life form traveling through the dimensional world. It looked like a human, with a resolute expression, and holding a colored crystal in its hand.

This is a tracker.

He could roughly guess that it was the guy sent by Klonoa to hunt him down.

It's just an S-class life form, fortunately...

At first he really had the urge to run away, but after trying many times, he could probably figure out the opponent's strength and distance.

Moreover, he found that as long as he did not use the [Heart of Talos], it would be difficult for the other party to find out his exact location.

He was always on the move, so it wasn't easy for the other party to find him.

Not long after, they stopped at a place on the sea that stretched as far as the eye could see.

"The next dimensional world to jump to is your destination." Lauren said.

"Wait a moment..." Li Ming nodded and activated the [Search] function.

"A dimensional world made of iron..."

Li Ming's pupils narrowed slightly. A world made of iron? A metal world, he had really encountered it!

Ever since he learned about the special structure of the dimensional world, he has been wondering whether there is a dimensional world composed of pure metal elements.

He searched for further information and confirmed his hypothesis. There really is such a world, but it is extremely rare.

"That dimensional world is made of iron?" He looked at Robin.

"Yes..." Robin nodded naturally, "That's why the Holy Silver Civilization built a secret fort there and collected resources."

Li Ming shook his head silently, not feeling too excited, as he had never asked Robin about the nature of that dimensional world.

By searching for information, he learned that in this world composed of metal elements, most of the materials are very common, similar to mineral veins. If they are to be used in practice, they still need to be collected and then refined.

This is even more so for him. The metal energy contained in the simple iron element is too thin. It would take many years to absorb it from the entire dimensional world.

You can note down the coordinates of this place, and when you come back to mine in the future, you can directly open a dimensional channel leading to here, which is much more convenient than looking for a mining planet.

"...The main organism is S-level..."

"S-level?" Li Ming's heart trembled slightly, and the emotions that he originally didn't care much about began to surge. S-level main organisms will produce unique crystalline materials.

The S-level life form of iron element is solid enough in itself, equivalent to a walking mountain of metal energy. Li Ming did not expect to have an unexpected gain, which gave him more motivation.

"…However, it was occupied by a group of powerful outsiders."

Perhaps the information flowed through his mind, Li Ming raised his brows slightly, he was already very familiar with the [Exploration] ability after using it many times.

A few days ago, they passed by a secret castle in the Yongyao Federation. Even though there was an A-level life form in charge, the information provided by the [Exploration] ability was only an evaluation of "quite powerful".

This place is actually "powerful"?

But after thinking for a moment, he did not jump rashly, but chose to circle around this dimensional world, as if looking for something.

Finally, after jumping through three or four dimensional worlds, they found a ruined building on a desolate land.

It is a small base used for coordination and logistics with the secret fortress. It can also quickly open the dimensional barrier to avoid accidents that prevent the people in the secret fortress from being able to evacuate.

"This is the base of the Holy Silver Civilization..." Lauren recognized it.

"Maybe it was destroyed by people from the Xingyuan Empire." Robin added.

Li Ming did not comment and continued to circle around, going around this iron element dimension world from top to bottom and left to right, but he still could not find the Xingyuan Empire's support base.

"The Xingyuan Empire didn't leave behind any support base, yet they are so confident?" Lauren couldn't help but be surprised.

Li Ming narrowed his eyes and said, "Use your probe."

"Oh oh..." Lauren nodded repeatedly. Even though she vaguely guessed that Li Ming might be dealing with the Xingyuan Empire, she didn't care. After all, it belonged to the Yongyao Federation.

The lower hatch opened, and a metal needle as thick as an arm protruded out. Lauren was about to fire it when he was stopped by Li Ming.

"Wait..." Li Ming said, "You guys should jump out of this dimension first and come back in five days."

Lauren didn't understand, but she followed the instructions.

"Let me stay too." Robin volunteered.

Li Ming pondered for a moment before nodding. After the spaceship left, Li Ming asked Lei Ting to simulate the control signal and manipulate the probe to slowly pass through the dimensional barrier.

"Hide..." Li Ming called out to Robin, but did not stay with him.

This is a world of earth element, with rugged rocks everywhere. The ochre light illuminates the entire world, and shadows are dense.

"Li Ming is really alert. He has an S-level bodyguard following him, and he moves steadily." Robin found a place and muttered to himself, quite impressed. He also asked the butler to help him hide.

More than ten minutes later, ripples appeared in space, but what returned was not a dimensional probe, but a pitch-black jump ship, which did not look like the style of the Xingyuan Empire.

The spaceship landed, the hatch opened, and several figures draped in black gauze appeared. One of them was holding a dimensional probe that had been shot out in his hand, with his face covered by black gauze.

"Our Lady of the Cross..." Li Ming, who was hiding somewhere, narrowed his eyes slightly.

The members of the Virgin Mary Church cover their faces with black veils, and 95% of the members are female, which fits the characteristics of this group.

Li Ming, hiding in the dark shadows, approached quietly. This place was densely covered with shadows, which was extremely convenient and was also his special choice.

He frowned, "Why are they here? Could it be..."

"Mother Earth, we didn't find any spaceship." A few people returned soon after and reported.

"Nothing?" The figure known as the Earth Mother pondered, then looked at the probe in her hand. "This is a model from the Yongyao Federation. It shouldn't be related to Li Ming. It might be a probe that has lost control."

"They really came for me." Li Ming's eyes were dim. This group of people were obviously waiting for an opportunity. No wonder they didn't contact Qinglong and were still planning to target me.

Who leaked the information, was it Austin?

It doesn't seem like it. If it was him, there would be no need for Trevor to contact me.

It's no secret that I went to find Austin, and it's no secret that Austin went to look for dimension-related items. Someone with a keen eye could probably figure out that I was preparing to come to the dimensional world.

But how do they know my destination?

Li Ming frowned, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and several people had already packed up and returned to the spaceship, ready to go back.

However, when no one was paying attention, when the shadow of the person and the shadow of the spaceship intersected, some ripples arose.

………

Ever since the sudden arrival of the Holy Elephant of Domination, the waves on the interstellar network of the main universe have been completely ignited, and countless mechanics have come from thousands of galaxies.

Under pressure, several major leaders in the central world had to give up a large enough area for these people to move around.

A large area was marked out in front of the huge ruling holy elephant, and people from various forces were sent to isolate it.

And Jiaint was still being trampled under the feet of the Holy Elephant, with only his head exposed. He felt so aggrieved that he couldn't even repair his facial wounds.

The Xingyuan Empire sent people to negotiate many times, but they were all rebuffed by the Holy Elephant of Tongyu, who had no intention of releasing them.

It is said that several important figures came to the central world secretly, but none of them showed up.

"Alas, it's been over ten days, and the Holy Elephant of Domination only said they would select a successor, but there were no specific criteria. How can we choose..."

"Yeah, I heard that several Forging-level mechanics showed up, and this Saint Elephant didn't respond well..."

There were huge crowds of people all around, and the noise was constant, but suddenly, a louder shout broke out from a certain direction, and everyone looked over.

I saw a group of red mechanical bodies surrounding a figure. It was also a humanoid mechanical body with delicate and standard facial features. There was no mimicry of skin, only the beauty of a machine.

"The Master of Mechanical Souls - Alex" someone's throat moved. More than ten days had passed, and the first big shot finally showed up.

"This is his mechanical carrier—the Puppet Master. His real body hasn't arrived yet."

The moment they recognized the carrier of the divine craftsman, the surroundings were noisy, but then they calmed down, suppressing their excitement.

The Soul Mechanical Master walked to the front and came in front of the Holy Elephant.

"It's you..." The Holy Elephant of Domination finally spoke in a deep voice, "It's been thousands of years."

"Three thousand one hundred and twenty-six years." Alex spat out a string of numbers, his facial features expressionless. "Where's the forging hammer?"

"Dead." The holy elephant said without hesitation, and there was silence all around.

Alex was silent, and then asked: "Why didn't you die?"

"You ask too many questions." Sheng Xiang refused to answer. "You came here to let me choose. Sorry, I won't be giving you the inheritance of the forging hammer."

Alex was silent again, and after a long while he asked, "Since it's a selection, what qualifications would be considered acceptable?"
