This Is Truly Not Mechanical Ascension

Upon opening his eyes, Li Ming found himself in a turbulent interstellar era. Countless civilizations wielded their hunting rifles, eyeing everything in the universe with predatory gazes, and his m...

Chapter 718 Wandering in the Starry Sky

"Li Ming!" Costat's eyes suddenly lit up and he couldn't help but shout.

Li Ming released the Mechanical Holy Spirit. In that state, he needed to call upon more abilities at the same time, and the consumption of metal energy was even more exaggerated.

After a quick glance, I found that this battle consumed a total of 80 billion metal energies, which was no different from a flood.

"You, are you okay?" Reynolds rushed forward and everyone was very excited.

"good."

"What's going on inside?" Alves couldn't help but ask. Looking at Li Ming's state when he just appeared, it seemed to be a new combat form, which was enough to show that he was facing the enemy.

"It's a bit complicated..." Li Ming pondered for a moment, "I barely managed to disrupt Yongyuan's plan."

"Destroyed?" Everyone's expression froze, and then they showed excitement. Although they didn't know what Yongyuan was trying to do, this was definitely good news.

That place was protected by fourteen Eternal Abyss Lords, yet Li Ming still succeeded.

You are worthy of it!

"So what's next..." Anatoly couldn't help but ask.

"Next, prepare to evacuate." Li Ming glanced at him.

"Evacuate, evacuate?"

The excited expressions on everyone's faces froze. They had destroyed Yongyuan's plan, but they still had to evacuate?

"What else?" Li Ming shook his head. "You don't think it's over, do you? That was just Yongyuan's trick. After I destroyed it, he became even more enraged. Next, he will erode the universe at all costs."

"The Interstellar Alliance is completely no match for our opponent. Staying here will only lead to more casualties and is meaningless."

The previous resistance was to delay the spread of the Abyss Mist as much as possible, and the historical mission has been completed.

Everyone felt as if a basin of cold water was poured on them, and the joy they had just felt disappeared.

"Not only do we need to evacuate here, but we also need to evacuate the entire interstellar space. What will follow will be Yongyuan's most violent counterattack." Li Ming further emphasized.

"This..." Everyone was even more confused. After resisting for such a long time, they suddenly had to withdraw completely?

"Is there no other way?" Costat couldn't help asking with a bitter look on his face.

Yes, wait until I become the ultimate life form.

Li Ming responded in his heart, but did not say it out loud.

To outsiders, he is already the ultimate life form, so why does he need to evolve into the ultimate life form? These guys may not believe it.

"Let's prepare as soon as possible. In the short term, Lord Yongyuan will not appear in the main universe. There should still be enough time." Li Ming changed the subject.

Everyone was silent in their hearts and responded, "I understand."

Although this order came extremely suddenly, these guys were experienced in many battles after all. They quickly calmed down and went back to prepare for evacuation.

Only Li Ming stayed here. He stretched out his hand and pulled out a member of the Yuan clan from the void. After being strengthened, the gray-white skin was filled with black lines and became more violent.

"Lord Yuan will destroy this era of evolution, including you!" He stared at Li Ming.

Li Ming was too lazy to pay attention and poked it with one finger.

boom!

The corpse exploded, and broken black flesh and blood scattered all over the ground. When it came into contact with the metal deck under his feet, it immediately changed.

It seemed to be highly corrosive, making a hissing sound when it came into contact with the deck, and the flesh and blood quickly decomposed, gradually spreading into a gray-black mist.

"Sure enough..." Li Ming's expression changed. The strengthening of the Abyss Lords not only improved the life levels of these Abyss Lords.

After death, they will turn into balls of abyss fog. The more people die, the faster the abyss fog expands.

In the past, ordinary Yuan people did not possess such abilities.

"You have so many tricks." Li Ming glanced at the abyss of fog, and a green flame ignited, burning it completely, and then disappeared here.

After returning to the central command center, Kostat issued an order, which was quickly transmitted to various defense nodes.

The numerous soldiers who remained at their posts were initially bewildered, but upon confirming the order to retreat, they couldn't help but become excited.

In their view, the Yuan tribe had withdrawn its troops some time ago, and now they were retreating again, which might mean that they had achieved some kind of victory.

For a moment, many soldiers cried with joy.

Costat did not specify why they evacuated. He couldn't say that they were completely unable to defeat the next enemy, so they should just run for their lives.

For the sake of military morale, they could only cover it up with vague explanations.

He issued a retreat order of the highest standard. Some unimportant items did not even need to be retrieved and could be left where they were.

At the same time, Li Ming also convened a summit meeting of the three major civilizations.

The virtual conference room was filled with gloom and sorrow.

"Is the only option but to retreat?" Malcolm couldn't help but ask.

"If you want to resist, you can stay." Li Ming respects the fate of others very much and will notify them, but he will not force them if they don't want to leave.

"That's not what I meant." Malcolm smiled bitterly and said cautiously, "You didn't tell me before, but you're 50% sure of it?"

"Yes, it's still a guaranteed 50% return." Li Ming nodded as a matter of course. "Don't you understand? I'm asking you to evacuate now for your own good. In fact, whether you evacuate or not doesn't make much difference to me."

After a pause, he added, "That's not the case. If I stay, I might actually contribute to Yongyuan's activity."

Malcolm paused, his mind a little confused.

But Abel figured it out. Based on his understanding of Li Ming, he roughly guessed, "You mean, the evacuation is only temporary?"

Malcolm smiled bitterly. "Can you tell me what the situation is like? Is there any chance of returning? That way we can prepare."

Li Ming thought for a moment and said, "Now it's a race between Yong Yuan and me. Let's see who's faster."

Malcolm looked slightly shocked. Race against time?

What this means is that Li Ming and Yong Yuan both have stage goals, and whoever achieves them first will have the advantage?

"How can we help, Blood Mist?" Malcolm thought immediately.

"No need." Li Ming shook his head.

"Don't worry about it now." Malcolm couldn't help but said, "If you have any psychological burden, we will do it."

"No." Li Ming frowned. "It's too late. The Abyssal Mist will soon seep into the main universe. Our starry universe is the main target."

The universe is boundless, so the abyss of fog naturally does not permeate every corner at the same time.

The starry sky where they are located is actually the center of the universe, and the abyss fog will expand in all directions from here.

Without the blood species, the blood mist's autonomous expansion speed is too slow. Before it can take shape, the abyss mist may have already attacked and it will be swallowed up in reverse.

Malcolm looked slightly disappointed, "Okay."

"Calling on the stars, prepare for a mass migration, the sooner the better."

Li Ming left this sentence and ended the communication.

Malcolm and the other two looked at each other, gathered themselves together, and prepared to hold a meeting.

In the Mechanical Royal Court, the shadows around them dissipated. Li Ming summoned Ulrich and issued an order: "Prepare to send all members of the Royal Court to the World Gateway. Prepare to evacuate this interstellar space."

The so-called world channel is the external channel leading to the realm of Mavilas.

Evacuate!

Ulrich was startled, then nodded solemnly, "I understand."

Several figures flashed through Li Ming's mind, including Wu Yanqing, "We have to take them away as well."

"By the way, there is also Senior Brother Yaluo, who seems to still be in that civilization..." Li Ming suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but touch his nose, feeling quite embarrassed.

Yaluo was once the only person who knew that Qinglong and Li Ming were one and the same, so Li Ming had never paid any attention to him before.

Over time, he forgot about his good senior brother.

Now that they were about to evacuate, he remembered and immediately gave orders to send someone to pick them up.

………

The three major civilizations acted very quickly, and the [Statement to All Interstellar Civilizations, Organizations, and Citizens] drafted by many civilizations was announced very quickly.

It roughly describes the strength and terror of the enemies in the deep dimensional world. After using all means to fight, they find that they are still defeated. The next main goal of each interstellar civilization is to prepare for evacuation and carry out a large-scale migration.

Civilizations that are unable to carry out large-scale migrations can apply for support from higher civilizations.

When this statement came out, it was like a nuclear bomb, blowing up the entire galaxy.

"A big, big, big migration? Am I seeing right? We're going to retreat from this star system?"

"Why are you withdrawing so suddenly? Didn't you get good news a while ago?"

"Escape? Fuck, what are the three major civilizations doing? And there's also a joint organization of higher life forms. Qinglong, where is Qinglong? Isn't he the ultimate life form? Give him some strength!"

“…”

A single stone can cause a thousand ripples. Although the war is in full swing, for many people, the war in that dimensional world is still far away from their lives.

But this sudden statement broke the peace of many people.

Migration, wandering, unknown, abandoning home.

Each word irritated the nerves of many interstellar citizens, causing natural resistance, fear, and anger to arise in their hearts.

Some people vented their anger on various advanced civilizations, hoping that they could shoulder their due responsibilities instead of just thinking about escaping.

Another group of people said that they would never leave their hometown even if they died.

The smarter ones have already started preparing to escape and quickly purchased various supplies.

The great migration of an entire interstellar civilization sounds like a fairy tale.

It is actually very difficult to implement.

Riots, killings, resistance, all kinds of evil in human nature were triggered, like waves, flashing away in the huge waves of the times.

However, the general trend is also irreversible, and the interstellar world is gradually entering an era of wandering.

The Sanchez Cluster, located at the border between the Federation and the Empire, has sixteen civilizations inside it. They began evacuating in full swing as early as the beginning of the joint announcement.

On one of the planets, tall buildings stand in rows, and the prosperity of the past has become a thing of the past.

There was no living creature to be seen on the street. Suddenly, a wisp of gray-black mist seeped out from the void, like overflowing liquid, flowing on the street, expanding in all directions at an extremely fast speed.
