Although he is the president, it does not mean that all his orders will be carried out unconditionally, especially those that involve selling out the interests of civilization.

Other secret matters could be concealed, but the manufacturing of mechanical bodies, the resources allocated, and the number of people involved were difficult to conceal.

War can effectively enhance cohesion, but it does not mean that everyone can work together once a war breaks out.

To ensure this, a certain price must be paid. His eyes flickered, and Antigo remained silent, waiting for his response.

Malcolm thought for a long time, and finally asked, "I want to ask, facing this war, and even facing the Eternal Abyss, how confident are you of victory?"

"Victory?" Li Ming shook his head. "It can't be called victory."

Yongyuan's nature is very special. He belongs to the other side of the universe. Even if he becomes the Ultimate Form, he has no guarantee of winning.

Malcolm's eyes dimmed, but he listened to Li Ming say, "However, when it comes to checks and balances, I am 50% sure."

"If you don't mind the cost, it's more than 80%."

"So high?" Antigo was surprised.

He thought that Li Ming's 10% or 20% was a big deal, but it turned out that the minimum was 50%.

Li Ming estimated that he would be able to achieve such a situation after reaching the ultimate life form. With the help of the controlled object, even if he could not do anything to the Lord of the Abyss, the Lord of the Abyss would not be able to do anything to him.

That's checks and balances.

In this case, all of the Abyss Lord's minions will be killed by him, and the interstellar danger will not be too great.

According to the laws of evolution, he really didn't believe that the Lord of the Abyss could control the power of the two evolutionary levels of the ultimate life form.

Malcolm's eyes flashed slightly, and he stared at Li Ming, trying to see a hint of guilt on his face.

At the end, he nodded solemnly, "I will make sure of that."

Antigo hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I can do that, too."

This matter was even more difficult for him. Coordinating the various civilizations within the territory was extremely troublesome.

Li Ming nodded upon seeing this. Regardless of Abel's opinion, these two guys were still very farsighted.

"Everyone, don't worry. After the Eternal Abyss Crisis is over, I can guarantee that you will all have an ultimate evolved form." Li Ming also gave a sweet promise.

Can the ultimate life form be guaranteed?

Antigo felt a little strange, but also felt a sense of hope. To some extent, this also represented Li Ming's confidence.

"I almost forgot, there's one more thing." Li Ming suddenly remembered and looked at Malcolm: "I want to mix the Overlord's flesh and blood in your hands."

Malcolm's face fell. This day had finally come. He felt depressed, but then he heard Li Ming say, "In return, I can create an additional Ultimate Evolution for you. Of course, after the war is over."

The ultimate evolutionary physical energy is wholesale? Malcolm hesitated to speak.

Li Ming said sincerely, "Everyone, cooperate sincerely. I won't hide anything from you. I have already figured out Adam's promotion method. If it weren't for the need to avoid creating an Ultimate Life Form and causing Yongyuan's activity to increase, I would be able to fulfill my promise now."

Things have come to this point, if I don’t agree, it would be a bit disrespectful, Malcolm lamented in his heart, at least he transferred one-tenth in advance.

"I understand. I'll send someone to deliver it to you as soon as possible."

Not many people knew about this matter, so he could decide on his own.

"We will send someone to meet you halfway and try to deliver it as soon as possible." Li Ming said.

"Well, I'll sync it to you once I confirm the navigation coordinates."

"No need, I know the location." Li Ming said nonchalantly, and Malcolm choked.

In this way, the flesh and blood that were originally divided, including those in the hands of the Empire, the Federation, and him, are basically almost complete.

As for what the Star Alliance has, let them continue to study it.

After the general framework is agreed upon, the more detailed action plans will need to be prepared by the subordinates.

"Also, it's better not to announce the matter about Yongyuan to the public for the time being to avoid causing too much panic..." Malcolm reminded the other two.

After going offline, orders were issued one after another, and an interstellar alliance meeting was held, and a storm was about to come.

………

On Li Ming's side, the projection light dissipated, he opened the smart terminal and edited a command.

Not long after, Charles and the other three recorders were brought to the Heavenly Palace by mechanical bodies.

"Your Excellency..." Charles and the other two bowed nervously.

"How is it? Life here is pretty good, right?" Li Ming asked.

"Very good, our requests will be met soon." Charles responded, wondering why this ultimate life form suddenly wanted to find them.

"That's fine." Li Ming nodded, then said, "I'm looking for you this time because I want to ask you three for a favor."

Charles was slightly stunned, and quickly said, "Please give us your orders, Your Excellency. We will do our best to help you."

Li Ming explained, "This is true. The Yuan Clan should soon emerge from the Eternal Abyss, but we have no experience fighting against the Yuan Clan in this era of evolution, so I would like to ask you three to serve as advisors."

"The Yuan Clan appeared?" Charles widened his eyes.

Gad next to him couldn't help but say, "How is that possible!"

As soon as he said it, he regretted it, his face changed, and he hurriedly explained: "I, I don't not believe you..."

"Don't be so nervous." Li Ming didn't care. "I know you're shocked, but that's the truth. Why would I lie to you?"

Charles's expression changed. What happened in this evolutionary era almost overturned everything they knew about Yongyuan.

And the root cause is probably the person in front of me.

He didn't think for too long before he said in a deep voice, "I understand. We will do our best to buy enough time for your civilization to evolve."

"In addition, we can also provide several evacuation directions, which were determined by the original masters after investigation."

Charles believed that the so-called confrontation in this evolutionary era was just to delay time. The Yuan clan appeared too hastily, and they were probably not ready to retreat in this evolutionary era.

After all, Li Ming is the only ultimate evolved form in the open, so how could he possibly stop Yongyuan?

Li Ming didn't explain too much, he just gave them Abel's contact information and then had him taken away.

After dealing with this matter, he disappeared without a trace.

In the Empire's Ultimate Laboratory--

Li Ming's sudden appearance scared many people. The experimenters thought they were invaded and were about to call the guards when Raphael hurried over.

He had just returned from the Sea of ​​Stars and was familiar with Li Ming's method of coming and going without a trace.

"Your Excellency Qinglong?" He didn't seem surprised. He calmed everyone down and asked the onlookers to leave. He whispered, "The Holy Emperor has already given the order. Please follow me."

The two came to the depths of the laboratory. Behind the heavy metal fortress was where the Overmind's flesh and blood was stored.

"Most of them are here," Raphael explained, "and some are in various laboratories."

"Well, pick out another part and you continue your research." Li Ming nodded, not planning to absorb all of it. These flesh and blood can not only be used to prepare genetic seeds, but also have many applications in other aspects, which can improve the level of high technology.

"Okay." Raphael breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked people to move the things. After taking away about one tenth of the total, Li Ming walked in.

Raphael left tactfully, leaving only Li Ming in the warehouse, with the Overlord's flesh and blood neatly laid out before him.

With a slight movement of his mind, the alchemical puppet appeared before his eyes, trying to activate its ability to pull the flesh and blood of the master in front of him.

Suddenly, pitch-black energy pipelines extended from behind the alchemical puppet, accurately inserting into every piece of flesh and blood, absorbing the energy within.

The flesh and blood shrank and carbonized at a speed visible to the naked eye, and dark red energy surged back along the surface of the pipeline crazily.

As energy was injected, spider-web-like blood-red lines gradually appeared on the black body surface of the alchemical puppet and spread throughout the body.

This process is extremely fast. Compared to the powerful alchemical puppets themselves, the flesh and blood of these masters are just the icing on the cake.

Soon, the remaining flesh and blood had all turned into grayish-white debris.

The alchemical puppet was surrounded by turbulent black and red energy, which was gradually digested and then completely restored to calm.

On the surface, the alchemical puppet has hardly changed.

Li Ming tried to switch perspective and felt a slight enhancement.

"I guess, even if it is fully absorbed, it will be difficult to increase the energy level by 100J." Li Ming speculated, but it is already very good. At this level, it will be very difficult to improve it even a little bit.

After notifying Raphael, he disappeared here. This time he did not return to the Mechanical Royal Court, but appeared in his dominant laboratory.

Sheffield and others were still studying the genetic seeds, and Li Ming did not disturb them. He went to the place where the flesh and blood were stored alone, and also kept a part for research and absorbed the rest.

"Only those from the Federation are left. I guess we'll have to wait for a while. There's something that should be put on the agenda." Li Ming's eyes flashed as he left the Dominant Laboratory.

While things were being crossed off his schedule, the outside world was also busy.

For the vast majority of citizens in the interstellar society, the blood mist crisis has passed, the alert status of various civilizations has just been lifted, and everyone feels sincerely relieved.

However, the good times did not last long. Just half a month after the blood mist crisis was announced to have been resolved, the entire galaxy was still immersed in a joyful atmosphere.

On the interstellar network, all kinds of great and glorious propaganda about the blood mist crisis are still continuing, and various analyses are still hot.

On this day, the Interstellar Alliance suddenly issued a joint announcement -

"...A crisis originating from the deep dimensional world of the universe has arrived. Dimensional life forms intend to invade the main universe. From today on, interstellar society enters a state of war. All civilizations must cooperate and mobilize to resist the external enemy!"

This news was like a depth charge, and the waves it created instantly swept across the entire galaxy.

"Why is there going to be a war all of a sudden?"

"A global war? Oh my goodness, this is too..."

All the interstellar citizens and civilian forces who saw the news couldn't believe their eyes and thought it was fake news.

However, the continuous forwarding of messages by civilizations, even the joint statement of the joint organization of higher life forms, and even the internal warning letter from the black hole network, indirectly confirmed this, and at the same time made many people feel like they were falling into an icy cave.

"What kind of enemy could unite the entire interstellar civilization?"

"This is so fucking weird! The two civilizations here were fighting yesterday, and now they're cooperating. It's unbelievable."

"This is the first time I've seen an internal warning letter from the Black Hole Network. Some illegal organizations have been warned that if they cause trouble, they will be severely punished."

“…”

There is an old saying in the interstellar world: we are not afraid of the three major civilizations confronting each other, but we are afraid of the three major civilizations cooperating with each other.

Confrontation is internal fighting, everything is controllable, but once cooperation occurs, the meaning is different.

The last brief cooperation was to fight against Qinglong, but this time the cooperation involves more than just the three major civilizations.

Even the United Organization of Higher Life Forms and the Black Hole Network have joined in. One can imagine how powerful the enemy they are facing is.

"How come I've never heard of invaders from the deep dimensional world? Uh... I'd rather know what the deep dimensional world is..."

“…”

Many people want to know more detailed and comprehensive information, and explanations from major official sources were released as soon as possible to answer questions for those who have not paid much attention to similar information in the past.

"...The universe is so complex, it actually has six or seven layers..."

After discussion, the matter concerning Yongyuan was not announced to the public. On the one hand, it was because it was too complicated to explain, and on the other hand, it was because it would cause excessive panic.

Just like every civilization that has never come into contact with interstellar society, it will think that it is unique in the universe.

If the current interstellar society were to learn that there were many previous eras of evolution that have been destroyed, I wonder how great a shock it would suffer.

Maintaining internal stability alone would consume a huge amount of resources, so it would be better to use vague invaders instead.

Discussions among the people will not stop actions among the top leaders. Major civilizations begin to act quickly, recruiting troops, and sending endless warships to the dimensional world.

The United Organization of Higher Life Forms, which made great efforts in the blood mist crisis and whose reputation has been enhanced again, also called on civilian evolved beings to join the action of resisting the invaders.

This series of actions took place with almost no interruptions and was extremely efficient. The tense atmosphere of impending storm swept across the entire interstellar society in an instant.

Although the incident came suddenly, the joint war of the entire interstellar society was indeed massive.

But this is the interstellar age after all, and even ordinary people are accustomed to seeing all kinds of strange things.

For example, such an outrageous thing as "Qinglong is Li Ming" was accepted within a few days.

The fact that war was about to break out was generally accepted quickly.

Fortunately, due to the blood mist crisis some time ago, quite a number of interstellar citizens have not yet fully adjusted. Although public opinion is boiling, there has been no major chaos overall.

…

In the ruined holy fortress below the Lord's laboratory, the monitor who still stayed here was like a gravekeeper guarding a dead grave.

"Why did you think of this place?" The Supervisor asked lightly when he saw Li Ming coming in from the door.

Ever since everything here was taken away, he rarely saw Li Ming coming.

"To pass the trial of domination." Li Ming responded calmly, "It's time to reclaim the other two holy fortresses."
