Chapter 470: The career advancement device Guixu stage turns out to be the trial of domination?

"Win?"

The giant in the audience seemed to have crashed, his burly body was untied. He had clearly taken a step forward and was already in front of the ring, laughing excitedly.

The next moment he returned to his original position, with a look of doubt on his face: "Did you really win?"

Then he appeared in front of the ring again, laughing and saying, "Okay, okay, okay!"

This was repeated several times before it stopped. In the end, the giant looked neither suspicious nor excited, but just stared at Li Ming on the ring.

The gray mist on the ring was swirling, and everyone present's eyelids were twitching wildly.

But in the end, I found that the gray mist had simply faded away, and I couldn't help feeling disappointed.

It was really hard for them to accept that Li Ming won like this.

In other words, anyone who wins except themselves will be met with hostility, which not only means that the other party has completely surpassed them to some extent, but also that they will gain something unknown.

Silently, Li Ming landed from the ring. The giant had already walked in front of him, looking down at him with a bit of uncertainty, "How... did you win?"

Li Ming vaguely felt that the giant in front of him seemed a little different.

"It was just luck..." Li Ming explained in a low voice, forcing a smile, "The enemy was too strong. I didn't expect to win."

Everyone became more speechless. The giant suddenly squatted down, and the wind and waves blew Li Ming's hair. He seemed to be observing Li Ming carefully.

At this moment, everyone also discovered that this giant seemed a little different from before.

"Could it be that Li Ming passed the assessment, causing the stuck program to continue running?" Reynolds whispered.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter at this time. Come with me." The giant suddenly stood up again and turned around.

Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the giant did not default on his promise, and his effort was not in vain. Acting is also very mentally exhausting.

Seeing that the giant's figure began to dissipate, Li Ming quickly followed him. Ripples appeared in the space, and two figures, one big and one small, disappeared at the same time.

The scene before their eyes kept changing, and then gradually froze, spreading around them, and finally turned into a spacious room. All kinds of equipment were quite large, and Li Ming looked like a small man.

"for you…"

Li Ming was still observing his surroundings when the giant in front of him suddenly turned around and threw something at him.

Li Ming was quick-eyed and quick-handed, reaching out to catch it.

This thing is not big, only the size of a baby's head. The metal shell has a soft luster and can feel an unusual warmth.

It is beating faintly, and although the rhythm is not as regular as that of a biological heart, it has a unique rhythm.

[Heart of the Holy Spirit - Consumable Type: A symbol of Holy Spirit civilization, it has a special effect on the mechanical evolution system, giving it the potential to become a mechanical saint.

Control conditions: 2 billion metal energies

Control Ability - Baptism: Consume control items to advance to mechanical-related professions.

Li Ming raised his eyebrows. Mechanical evolution system? It should be the native evolution system of the Holy Spirit Civilization. But in his hands, it became a career advancement device.

The Mechanical Son… The Mechanical Son should be lower than the Mechanical Holy Spirit. I wonder what level it is, X-level? Or is it equivalent to stepping onto the path to the Ultimate?

Li Ming muttered that he didn't know much about the Holy Spirit civilization, and there were very few records of its evolutionary system.

The last time he got promoted, he used something left behind by the forging master. Li Ming thought that his mechanical profession had almost reached its limit.

"The Holy Spirit has perished, and you are not part of the relevant evolutionary system. This thing is useless. Just keep it as a souvenir."

Li Ming was suddenly startled by the giant's words. He looked up and saw the other's two big eyes staring at him.

"Do you know the situation outside?" Li Ming asked cautiously.

The giant sighed, "If you pass the test, I will be able to operate independently. What era is the outside world now?"

"Uh..." Li Ming didn't know how to answer. Everyone had a different calendar, so he hesitated and said, "I guess the Holy Spirit Civilization has disappeared for hundreds of thousands of years."

"Has it been that long?" The giant was stunned and asked, "What branch of Titans do you belong to? Your bloodline concentration is so low."

"Titan branch? Uh... they seem to have been destroyed." Li Ming stepped back and said in a low voice.

"What?"

As expected, the giant was horrified. "The Titans were destroyed? How is that possible? Even at the Guixu Stage, it's impossible to completely destroy the Titans!"

"You lied to me!?" He stared at Li Ming with a lot of emotions, and a hint of murderous intent.

Li Ming didn't know how much strength the other party could exert, so he quickly took out a smart terminal and said, "There is a lot of offline information here, you can check it yourself..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a large stream of data floated into the smart terminal from the surrounding space.

The giant was stunned for a moment, as if his spine had been pulled out, and his whole body slumped down: "Actually, it's really gone?"

Li Ming silently put away the Heart of the Holy Spirit. This thing was stable and could be thrown into the folding space.

"I couldn't escape it after all, alas..." The giant shook his head with a painful look on his face.

Li Ming waited until his emotions had stabilized before he spoke tentatively, "What do you mean by the Guixu Stage you just mentioned?"

"Guixu Stage?" The giant looked at him and shook his head, "It's hard to explain."

Li Ming was speechless. It's already now, and you're still hiding it?

Unexpectedly, the giant said: "See for yourself..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding scene suddenly collapsed, the fragments of space intertwined, and then gradually gathered together to form streets that came into view, with various buildings arranged in an orderly manner.

There seemed to be meteors falling from the sky, but when he got closer, Li Ming found that they were mechanical bodies and living things, and their bodies were disintegrating and turning into gray mist.

Li Ming did not recognize most of the mechanical bodies. He only recognized one type, which was the Giant God Soldier, and many of them had fallen.

There seemed to be a great battle taking place in the starry sky, with streams of light of various colors tearing the universe apart. Li Ming could not see clearly.

This seemed to be the scene when the Holy Spirit Civilization perished. Li Ming looked around and felt heavy in his heart.

"Is this caused by Yongyuan?" Li Ming couldn't help but guess.

"I'm not sure." The giant shook his head and said sadly, "I'm not a recorder, and I don't have any more relevant information stored. I just happened to witness the final moments of the Holy Spirit Civilization."

Li Ming frowned slightly and couldn't help but speculate.

Guixu Period... Is it the period when the Yuan Clan launched a large-scale massacre?

But how come these dead mechanical bodies and living things all turned into that kind of mist?

Li Ming was not sure whether his guess was true or not. There was a dazzling light in front of him, and the energy was fluctuating constantly. The terrifying aura fluctuations made Li Ming feel as if he was there.

He looked up in shock, and could only see a giant mechanical pillar that stretched from the sky to the earth. Looking further, he saw a giant mechanical body shining with brilliant golden light, and the metal texture on its surface was flowing with mysterious light.

Its body is so huge that it is immeasurable. The stars seem insignificant in front of it. Every detail shows the ultimate craftsmanship and majesty. It stands like a god in the vast starry universe, and the giant pillar is just a finger of the other party.

The next second, blazing energy covered everything, his vision was boiling, and he was back in the huge room.

Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief, his heart beating wildly. Terrax's technical capabilities were truly remarkable.

Even if it is not an instrument specifically used for recording, it can create an immersive feeling.

"Okay, you can leave now." The giant waved his hand.

Li Ming looked hesitant and said, "Can I ask, is the difficulty of the Glory Trial higher or lower than this?

The giant frowned slightly, "This is the Trial of Despair, more difficult than the Trial of Glory."

"What about the desperate trial?" Li Ming asked again.

The giant frowned, somewhat impatiently, and said, "The Titans value individual strength, and there are many trials... What exactly do you want to ask?"

Li Ming then said, "If from the beginning, you are fighting against two Yuan Clan members of the same level, and in the end you have to defeat sixteen enemies, what kind of trial is that?"

"Trial of the Overlord?" the giant was puzzled. "This is the trial to select the successor to the Overlord. It's one of the Titans' top trials. Why are you asking this?"

"Oh..." Li Ming suddenly realized that this was right.

The selection of the successor to the Lord is similar to that of the successor to the Holy Castle, that is, the trial of the Lord.

Li Ming explained: "Nothing, I just heard about it, so I was curious."

The giant was speechless, no longer wanting to continue. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Let's go."

A vortex appeared behind Li Ming, and he nodded: "Thank you for answering my question."

The giant looked disappointed and did not respond.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, his expression shifted slightly. "By the way, are there any trials above the Domination Trial that are even more difficult?"

The giant glared at him, and an invisible force controlled him to fly backwards into the whirlpool.

There was a strange and bizarre scene before his eyes, and Li Ming vaguely heard a few words, "Trial to Become a King."

"That's a trial based on the top-level Yuan clan. The blood concentration is so low, and there are so many questions..."

The vortex closed, and the giant's expression changed. The scene around him changed, but it was just a ruin. He became more and more dejected. "Everything has been destroyed. Why do I still exist? Is it because of the randomness of the program?"

"Alas, it doesn't matter. The Holy Spirit has been destroyed, the Titans have disappeared, what value is there for me to exist..."

………

Outside, in front of the ruins, Mikhail and others had already come out, their faces looking a little strange.

After a long while, Costat looked back and said, "Why hasn't Li Ming come out yet?"

Seeing everyone looking at him, Mikhail shook his head and said, "I only know that if I fail the test, I will be sent out. I don't know what will happen after I pass the test."

"I can't believe Li Ming solved a problem that even the forging hammer couldn't handle." Reynolds said in amazement, "Why didn't I think of this before? I can try to capture a few low-level life forms and maybe we can defeat them."

Hearing Reynolds's sigh, everyone's expressions turned even uglier, especially Crow and Gonzalez. They exchanged glances, and Crow spoke up, "According to our prior agreement, the gains from this should be divided equally between us."

Dius said nothing, and Costate remained silent.

Reynolds's expression changed slightly, and he snorted coldly, "Did you forget the last sentence? This is all earned by Li Ming through his own hard work, why should we share it?"

"Whether to divide or not is not up to you. What do you think?" Claude looked indifferently at the others.

Mikhail said calmly, "Everyone, there are still several unknown areas. Once this precedent is set, what should we do next?"

The others' expressions changed.

"Since there's an agreement in place, let's follow it," Costat said first, and Dius nodded, "That's right."

Although they were also very curious, they also understood that the target now was Li Ming, and they might be targeted later.

Unless you are sure you will gain nothing.

"Actually, based on the information we know, the Holy Spirit Heart isn't that valuable," Mikhail said. "We simply entered an unfinished assessment process. This reward is for the original assessment subjects."

Everyone was silent. Lancaster's eyes moved slightly, and the others also noticed something was wrong.

Turning around, I saw that Li Ming had appeared not far away and came out of the ruined building.

"Everyone..." Li Ming met many gazes and became extremely alert. Four mechanical kings walked out from behind him and protected him on all sides.

Qinglong’s mechanical body…Everyone had different expressions as they glanced at the several mechanical bodies around Li Ming.

"Four... Qinglong is really generous..." Costat pondered, touched the ring in his hand, pondered for a moment, but did not take any further action.

"Li Ming..." Gonzalez said with a cold expression, "Now, I need you to explain what you did behind my back."

He still hasn't noticed anything wrong, but he always has a strange feeling in his body, but he can't find the source.

Claude's expression suddenly darkened. "Yes, what are you doing secretly?"

The expressions of the others changed, and he suddenly remembered that during the trial, Claude and Gonzalez seemed to have made some strange noises.

Is it because of Li Ming?

The way they looked at Li Ming was inevitably a little strange.

"I..." Li Ming's face changed slightly, and he explained, "I didn't do anything."

"Bullshit!" Crow was furious. "I warned you again and again, but you ignored me and said you didn't do anything."

"Then... please tell me clearly, what exactly did I do?" Li Ming seemed helpless.

"You..." Claude held back, Gonzalez frowned.

They didn't know what Li Ming did behind their backs, but how could their own feelings about their bodies be wrong?

"Stop your nonsense, both of you. That place is created through information mimicry. It suppresses all abilities except those on the ring." Mikhail said calmly, "You are all X-level life forms. What can he do?"

Reynolds couldn't help but sneer: "I think you two are still ruthless and are deliberately targeting Li Ming in this way to snatch his Holy Spirit Heart."

Li Ming suddenly realized that this group of people seemed to have argued once. No wonder no one asked him about the reward at the beginning.

Reynolds and Mikhail are really reliable.

"Reynolds!" Gonzales was furious. "I think you are the ones making trouble here. We both feel it clearly..."

boom!

Before he could finish his words, the ground shook violently and a loud noise was heard from behind. Everyone's expressions became extremely alert.

Li Ming's heart skipped a beat. Who did it?
