Chapter 479 A Little Reward and a Little Secret
"What is this place?"
Li Ming looked for it immediately, but he didn't find anyone else who came in before him.
He also prepared many excuses to explain why he showed up so late. The biggest difference between S-level life forms and other people is that they have more excuses to use.
I squatted down and tried to touch the ground. Although it felt like metal, I couldn't absorb any metal energy.
"Mimicry?" Li Ming stood up and took a few tentative steps forward.
"Another Titan branch..." A soft voice suddenly sounded, and Li Ming instantly perked up.
Not far from him, a blurry light and shadow gradually condensed.
It was a woman, very delicate looking, with white and gold lines all over her skin.
"Your Excellency is..." Li Ming remained calm, but very alert.
"You can call me Star Spirit..." The other party's voice was soft, but his eyes were filled with scrutiny and curiosity. "Your potential is so low, and your physical age is not high either. How can you become a lord-level life form?"
Li Ming was quite surprised at the other party's strong detection ability, as they could even tell his biological age.
"Your Excellency Xingling, I wonder if this place..." he asked tentatively.
"Yes, it's just as you guessed." The figure of the Star Spirit dissipated, and the golden tassels passed through Li Ming's body and suddenly appeared at his side. "You can understand this as the last trace of the existence of the Holy Spirit Civilization."
She lowered her head and sniffed Li Ming's scent, seeming to miss him a little. "Time will destroy everything. Even the Titans have disappeared."
"Okay, evolver of the new era, since you can come here, the Holy Spirit Civilization has prepared a small reward for you. Are you ready?" The Star Spirit appeared in front of him again.
"By the way, you happen to have Titan blood in your body, so you might be able to play a better role."
"Reward? What reward?" Li Ming was puzzled and wanted to ask clearly.
But the star spirit was not prepared to explain. He just pointed in the air, and the entire palace became extremely bright in an instant.
All the patterns on the ground lit up, and Li Ming felt an invisible force coming from all directions.
He felt the air around him suddenly become thick and engulfed him.
Suffocating, heavy, and having difficulty walking, Li Ming's breathing became heavy, and he felt that his limbs and torso were shackled by an invisible force, and every movement required a huge amount of strength.
Of course, considering his own strength, he did not blindly use the control objects to free himself from this shackles.
Then, he could feel a warm power slowly seeping into his body, penetrating his skin and stimulating his cells.
In an instant, his bones trembled violently, and beads of sweat the size of beans oozed out from his forehead, cheeks, and all over his body, mixed with energy particles.
Li Ming's eyes were filled with astonishment. He could only feel that the cells in his body were highly active at an unprecedented speed, which stimulated his gene seed to move forward with difficulty and solidity.
"Is this... stimulating the gene seed?" Li Ming was surprised. He had never experienced this feeling before.
It is even several times faster than when he was developing at his highest rate.
"What kind of power is this?" Li Ming was shocked and felt his whole body burning.
The stimulation brought about by this forced development is quite intense, and the exhaled gas is mixed with energy particles of various colors.
"What a strange evolutionary path... It's very similar to the evolutionary path of Titans." Xingling sighed.
But she had seen it before, and as she looked at the figure before her, it disappeared as she shook her head.
Li Ming was completely unaware of this. Feeling the highly active cells inside his body, an impulsive thought burst out in his mind: if the control system was turned into an evolutionary system, could it be superimposed?
When this thought came to his mind, he was a little hesitant, but then he gritted his teeth and switched.
When the evolutionary system was in place, as Li Ming had expected, the development rate of more than 630 times, mixed with the invisible force, was like adding fuel to the fire, and the highly active cells completely boiled over.
In an instant, the capillaries under Li Ming's skin burst, blood gushed out of his pores, and the severe pain tore at his nerves.
The activity level of cells in his body reached an unprecedented level. Every cell was going crazy, as if trying to break free from his body and tear his flesh apart.
Li Ming's cheeks were twisted, and an extremely suppressed sound came out of his throat. The unprecedented pain and transformation in his body made him almost crazy, but he still suppressed his thoughts tightly.
During this period, three external X-level source substances were absorbed and used to upgrade the evolutionary source substances.
At this moment, the seven hundred and forty-fold development blessing was superimposed again, making this transformation even more drastic.
Like a madly howling engine, it bursts out unprecedented power, regardless of whether the car body can withstand it.
The red skin was like a ball of paper wrapped in a high-temperature flame, which could be torn at any time.
Li Ming's [Field Doctor] profession plays an important role, converting 70% of the evolutionary blessing into recovery blessing.
His body was torn and recovered, like a flame swaying in the wind, seemingly in danger, but always tenacious and resilient.
boom!
The energy particles erupting from his body were even more powerful, with flames, thunder, and quantum brilliance roaring endlessly.
“That’s only 1%?”
Even in extreme pain, Li Ming could still feel the genetic seed in his body moving forward firmly.
In just a few minutes, the development progress increased by 1%. Scarlet mist gushed out of his nostrils, and he shouted hoarsely but firmly from his throat: "Keep going!"
………
"This is a really great place..." Costat's eyes flickered slightly, and the energy swirling around him was quickly subsiding.
He was about to call out to the star spirit that appeared earlier, but suddenly he discovered that the scene in the palace had changed.
Figures appeared before him one after another, and Costat's expression became restrained: "Deus... Cedric..."
"Kostat..."
Everyone seemed surprised as well, looking at each other but no one spoke.
"Gonzalez, when did you come in?" Cedric was surprised to find Gonzalez standing in the corner. "Aren't you not allowed to come in?"
"I have my own way." Gonzalez responded indifferently.
"Looking at the uneasy breath of life in everyone, what we just experienced should be the same, right?" Lancaster spoke first.
"Star Spirit?" Dius asked tentatively.
"Reward?" Costat also said.
Everyone nodded silently. After hearing what the Star Spirit said, they also understood that everyone who came in had this.
Reynolds yelled, "This is too incredible! What kind of power can even transform metal?"
Everyone raised their brows and turned around, only to see Reynolds' body opening and closing, and the color seemed a little different, as if some kind of transformation had indeed occurred.
Mikhail was also surprised and clenched his hands. The increase was quite significant.
Due to the shackles of materials, their original combat capability level is difficult to reach 200X, unless they engage in load combat, but this will cause irreversible damage to body parts, and subsequent repairs will require a considerable cost.
But now, he feels that without any load, his regular energy level can jump to 200X.
Even metal can be transformed?
Everyone was also surprised, and their hearts were filled with excitement. It seemed that this place was truly important, and the rewards for admission alone were so generous.
"Reward, what reward?" Gonzalez realized something was wrong and spoke quickly.
"You don't have any?" Cedric glanced over, surprised. "After entering, you'll appear in a palace. There will be a manager called Star Spirit, who will then summon some kind of power to promote the development progress..."
His words were vague, but Gonzales was struck by lightning and said in astonishment, "What Star Spirits? What rewards? I was here when I first appeared, and then you showed up."
Everyone looked around in surprise and found that this place was almost exactly the same as the palace they were in, and it might be a projection.
"I'm surprised you didn't..." Cedric was surprised, then grinned, "You're just unlucky."
“What bad luck…” Gonzalez trembled all over, his eyes blazing with anger, and he gritted his teeth and shouted, “Li Ming!”
The possible existence of the virus had a greater impact than he had expected. Seeing that everyone else had gained something, but he had gained nothing, his anger was almost devouring him.
"What does this have to do with Li Ming?" Reynolds looked over and said dissatisfiedly, "You are unlucky yourself, why blame others?"
Gonzalez glanced at him gloomily, but had no intention of explaining. This was not a good thing, and speaking it out would only lead to ridicule.
But Costat frowned and said, "By the way, where is Li Ming?"
Only then did everyone realize that Li Ming was not here.
"We should wait a while. We didn't show up together." Dius said.
"We two were the first to appear, and Prince Kostart was the last," Mikhail said, speculating, "Perhaps this represents the length of time they were immersed in that special power."
"Why has Costa been around the longest?" Dius was puzzled. "In terms of strength and development potential, Lancaster should be the leader."
"You'll have to ask Prince Kostart about this," said Mikhail.
"I don't know either..." Costat shook his head, but in his heart he was thinking about the name called him by the Protoss - "Titan Branch".
Is it because of this reason?
Will this identity be helpful in what happens next?
"Doesn't this mean that Li Ming possesses some potential that is higher than ours?" Cedric muttered.
Everyone's expression changed slightly, and they immediately thought of some bad memories.
Could this place be Li Ming's home ground again?
"Hello, fellow evolvers of the new era." A voice suddenly sounded, and everyone focused their minds and looked towards the center. The star spirit had appeared at some point.
"Your Excellency..." Everyone greeted him, and even Cedric, who had never met him before, did not dare to neglect him.
"The welcome gifts to everyone have been distributed." Xing Ling said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Excellency." Dius nodded, "Then what's next..."
"That's what I want to say. As you all expected, there is a little secret hidden here. According to my idea, we need to go through some tests before we can decide who to give this secret to." Xing Ling looked a little helpless.
"However, there has obviously been some unexpected incident outside. This place won't last long before it collapses."
"So, I can only use a simpler method to select the target."
Everyone held their breath, listening to the Star Spirit slowly say, "The strongest..."
"The strongest among you will gain access to a little secret I'm keeping."
duel?
Everyone's expressions changed, some breathed a sigh of relief, while others felt nervous.
"Sir..." Cedric suddenly spoke up, embarrassed, "I didn't receive any reward."
"It's useless even if you get it." Xing Ling shook his head. Cedric was confused and wanted to ask more questions, but was interrupted by Mikhail: "Sir, are there any other restrictions or conditions? If there are no restrictions, then the strongest one is Lancaster."
"Of course, I will maintain your strength at the same level." Xing Ling smiled, "At the same level, we will determine the strongest one."
Now, Dius and Costat's expressions eased slightly.
But the Imperial Prince seemed to have thought of something, and his heart tightened. He asked, "Will everyone participate? One of our companions is an S-level lifeform. Are they going to suppress us to S-level lifeforms?"
After hearing his question, everyone's faces turned ugly. They were all suppressed to the same level as Li Ming. Who could beat him?
This kid likes to hide things just like his teacher.
"No..." Xing Ling shook his head, "I don't have much strength left. I can't suppress you to a lower level. He can't participate."
Fortunately, fortunately...
Both Costat and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Even Cedric, who had been gloomy, softened a little.
Only Reynolds was dissatisfied and said, "That's too unfair."
"Fair?" Xing Ling still kept smiling, "There is no fairness."
"Yes, it's just bad luck for him." Cedric added indifferently, and his depressed mood finally eased a little.
"Sir, may I ask what little secret you are keeping?" Dius asked hesitantly.
The expressions of the others flickered. Only one of the four forces present could obtain it, and no one could be sure of winning.
The winner certainly does not want the relevant information to be leaked, but no one can guarantee that he or she will win.
It is better to get some information now than to know nothing in the end.
Star Spirit looked around at everyone and said calmly, "There's only ruins left here, so it's nothing particularly precious. It's just a little hope for rebuilding the Holy Spirit civilization."
She spoke lightly, but everyone's heart seemed to stop for a moment.
The hope of rebuilding the Holy Spirit civilization?
What level is the Holy Spirit Civilization? Is there any need to say more?
The upper limit is there, and even if there is only a tiny bit of hope, the potential contained is immeasurable.
Everyone's hearts were burning with excitement, and they were ready to fight.
Costat even urged, "Sir, we are ready and can start at any time."
Xing Ling smiled, stretched out his hand, and was about to point at the air, but he paused.
"How could this happen?" She seemed to have discovered something puzzling, her expression became very interesting, and she retracted her finger, "Wait..."
