Chapter 500: Get rid of Klonoa? I don't believe it
After changing his mind, he chatted with Ulrich for a few more words and prepared to arrange the mechanical body.
"Wait..." Li Ming suddenly stopped him, thinking, "Distinguish this batch of machines from the previous ones."
"From now on, recall some of the previous machines every month and place them alongside the stored machines for me to process."
Ulrich was stunned when he heard this, and was obviously a little confused, but he nodded.
Li Ming then turned and left. Those mechanical bodies did not have the characteristics of the Holy Spirit, but after all their "hard work and great contributions", many of them had already developed quite high intelligence and should also become Holy Spirits.
This can also avoid internal conflicts between mechanical bodies.
A mechanical body that has been constructed cannot be reconstructed, but the ability of the Mechanical Holy Spirit is mainly given by the [Creator of the Race].
Back in the base room, Li Ming upgraded the X-level gene essence he absorbed from Ivan. Now, only three of his S-level gene essences had not been upgraded, and the development speed had exceeded seven hundred times.
However, not long after he started developing the gene seeds, his smart terminal began to vibrate continuously, indicating that someone was contacting him.
"Blackbeard...finally there is news." Li Ming took it, glanced at it, and his heart moved slightly.
Ever since Li Ming, under the impetus of the Blood-Falling One, gained a certain say within the Pioneers.
Under his instructions, the Pioneers' focus has always been on the Star of Eternal Silence.
Before he went to the ruins of the Holy Spirit Civilization, it was only a group of S-level life forms led by Blackbeard who explored the deep dimensional world.
Now, in addition to the Bloodfaller suspected to be Adam, and the Guide confirmed to be Florian, the Navigator had already set off three months ago, and the Forger had also invested considerable manpower.
The first thing Li Ming did after coming out of the Red River Star Stream was to read Blackbeard's message, and then tried to contact him, but there was no response until now.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, but Li Ming had already answered the call.
A virtual screen popped up, and Blackbeard's big face appeared. He looked haggard, with eyes full of fatigue. The shiny black beard that he usually groomed was now disheveled.
His voice was dull, but also contained a sense of relief. "Sir Qinglong, I have finally contacted you."
Li Ming couldn't help but ask: "What's going on? You don't look well."
"Alas..." Blackbeard opened his mouth and sighed, revealing a bitter smile, "Something unexpected happened."
"I read your report, which only covers two months ago. You said you found important clues?" Li Ming switched pages and called up the conversation history.
"Yes..." Blackbeard nodded. "Three months ago, due to the impact of the Red River Catastrophe, we found a narrow passage near the Red River Basin in the Deep Dimension World that we suspected could be entered."
"We hadn't originally intended to explore directly, but His Excellency the Navigator arrived. He believed this was an opportunity. The effects of the Red River catastrophe might last a long time, so he forcibly took us in."
"Oh?" Li Ming was surprised, not because the navigator asked them to go in and explore.
It was because the navigator set an example by going in himself.
The Red River Basin in the dimensional world has a completely different structure from the main universe. It is more chaotic and more dangerous.
Based on this point alone, there is nothing to criticize about the Navigator.
Blackbeard continued, "We had no choice but to delve deeper into it. Close to the core area, we did find clues. Some of the nearly solidified space-time domains were clearly not caused by the Red River Star Stream."
"Mr. Navigator was very excited at the time and intended to find the Star of Eternal Silence directly in one go." When he said this, Blackbeard's eyes trembled and he looked vaguely frightened.
"But who knew that we would suddenly lose our way and fall into an unknown place."
"There's no concept of time or space there. It's pitch black, and it's surrounded by invisible barriers. They're so hard that they can't be broken open no matter what."
"Not only that, some unknown creatures seem to be active in the dark, killing six of our companions. Your Excellency the Navigator cannot fully protect us."
When Blackbeard mentioned it now, he still felt a lingering fear. He hadn't experienced that feeling of despair for a long time.
"Hmm?" Li Ming showed some interest: "Falling into an unknown place?"
It is speculated that they may have fallen into the Eternal Abyss, and those unknown creatures are probably the Abyss Clan.
However, given the strength of the Yuan Clan, the Navigator could not be their match. How could only six people die?
Is it because most of the Yuan people have not started their activities?
"How did you get out?" Li Ming asked again.
"I don't know either." Blackbeard shook his head helplessly, "We were almost in despair at the time. Even the Navigator was powerless to help us. We could only wait for death."
"We don't know exactly how long we waited in there. We only know that suddenly there was a loud noise, and a big hole appeared in the invisible barrier, and we came out."
When he said this, Blackbeard was also very confused. He didn't know how to get in or out.
After all, they are S-level life forms, and they can call the shots in the main universe, but there, they are like ants.
"It took some time to return from the core area, so I contacted you as soon as possible."
Li Ming's eyes lit up slightly, and he seemed to be thinking about something. The loud noise should be caused by the corpse of the Overlord Titan rushing out, and it might even be related to Levenback.
It formed a linkage. If it weren't for the corpse, this group of people would probably have been trapped to death.
Blackbeard continued, "After we came out, we discovered that the Red River Catastrophe had actually broken out. A large part of the core area had been washed out."
"The Empire is urgently conducting a screening operation. We suspect that the Eternal Star may have been washed out as a result."
"However, the forbidden life form, Chronoa, has reached a cooperation with the Empire. It is using its own aura to help the Empire screen the area, effectively forming a restricted area. We can't even get close."
Blackbeard's expression changed. Not only Chlonoa, but many people were also frightened by this deep dive and began to retreat.
"The Star of Eternal Silence may also be washed out?" Li Ming couldn't help but frown. The impact of the Red River disaster seemed to be greater than he had imagined.
The Empire is going to get this for free, and this Chronoa...
Li Ming was thinking about it when Blackbeard said, "Also, His Excellency the Navigator asked me to inform you that he is waiting for you at the Pioneer Council."
"Oh." Li Ming raised his eyebrows and nodded, "I understand."
After the communication ended, Li Ming found the ring given to him by the pioneer from the control page, and then took control of it and activated its ability.
The next moment, the scene before him collapsed like glass, and then gradually converged, but it did not descend into the Iron Throne Hall.
It was a small space with only five seats, and black shadows were already floating over the other four seats, belonging to the core meeting.
"You're finally here." The navigator spoke, his voice hoarse, completely unlike his previous ambitious state, but rather a little tired. "Blackbeard has already reported to you."
"Yeah." Li Ming nodded and glanced at the Bleeding One. After realizing that the Bleeding One was the same as Adam last time, he no longer had any hope for this pioneer.
The enemy is inside, and he is the founder, so there is no way to play.
He didn't want to do anything within the Pioneers, such as expelling the Blood Losers.
Of the other three guys, he only knew Florian.
Doing such petty tricks will do more harm than good and waste energy.
He couldn't figure out what role Adam wanted him to play for the time being, so he simply used the Pioneer as a means to disgust the other party and kept a close eye on the Star of Eternal Silence.
"Something big has happened in the dimensional world right now, and what happens next won't be a small matter, so we need to discuss what to do?" The navigator's voice was filled with fatigue.
"I suggest we temporarily regroup," the Blood-Drowning One said. "We've suffered heavy losses this time, with virtually no gains. We need to rest and recuperate for a while."
The Star of Eternal Silence was Adam's lifeblood. This was a loophole that had been left behind carelessly. Li Ming would naturally not let him have his way, and immediately said:
"No, I think that instead of resting at this moment, we should increase our efforts."
The navigator couldn't help but be surprised. He thought that Qinglong and the Blood-Falling One were in cahoots and had severely suppressed him last time.
Didn’t we have any discussion this time?
"This..." The Forger hesitated. "The Bloodfallen One has a point. Our advantage lies in secrecy, not in a head-on confrontation with the Empire."
"They won't confront the empire head-on, and they can't invest too much energy." Li Ming hinted.
"What do you mean?" the Caster asked repeatedly.
"Hmm, it seems to be due to the Red River Catastrophic Incident," the guide added. Florian had once delved deep into the Red River Star Stream and was quite familiar with the matter.
"Although the Red River catastrophe was short-lived, its intensity was astonishing. No one knows exactly what was washed away, but at least 80% of the life forms that were swept into the depths have vanished without a trace."
"This mortality rate is not right, and someone has seen Imperial and Federation fleets stretching for tens of thousands of kilometers."
Li Ming smiled silently. There is no impenetrable wall in the world, especially inside the Red River Star Stream.
There was no way to collect the huge corpse, so a large fleet had to be used to transport it.
At this point, a large number of life forms rushed into the Red River Star Stream, causing frequent accidents and causing quite a stir.
It depends on how long the Empire and the Federation can hide.
"Something's happening in the main universe too." The navigator was puzzled. "Qinglong, do you know something?"
"I don't know the specifics, but this matter is definitely not simple and involves a portion of the empire's energy." Li Ming shook his head, "So I said this is a good opportunity."
"I agree." The navigator was the first to agree this time, but then he said, "But shouldn't you all contribute a little? I'm the only one going deep into the Red River Star Stream this time."
The Blood-Falling One said in a deep voice, "I disagree with sending more forces. Chronoa has already cooperated with the Empire. In the deep dimensional world, we are almost powerless to resist."
"So, you guys figure it out on yourselves." His attitude was very direct.
The Forger hesitated: "Klonoa is indeed a problem. If he were not there, we could try to carry out this matter."
"I will deal with Chronoa." Li Ming said calmly, "Can Your Excellency the Maker go?"
"Deal with Chlonoa?"
As soon as these words were spoken, not only the Forger, but also the other three shadows gave him a real gaze.
What level is Chronoa?
In the dimensional world in which it is located, it is almost invincible, and in the deeper dimensional world, it can also expand extremely strong power.
Get rid of him? Is that such an understatement?
"What I mean is that he should not cooperate with the empire." Li Ming added.
Several people were still in shock. This didn't seem much different from the previous sentence. Why should Chlonoa listen to you?
Everyone was quite suspicious, and the one who lost blood was even more speculative.
Qinglong's words are too confident. Can his strength be so high that he can make Chlonoa switch sides?
He doesn't believe it.
"This..." The Forger hesitated for a moment and said, "If Your Excellency Qinglong can do this, as a member of the Pioneers, I am willing to go."
Florian, the guide, also said, "I'm willing to go, but I'll have to wait for a while."
"Your Excellency the Blood-Falling One..." Li Ming grinned secretly and said calmly, "Pioneers have always been a minority that obeys the majority. Even if you don't agree to send more troops, you should still make some effort."
"That's right." Although the navigator didn't know what the conflict between the two was, he didn't mind finishing them off.
"I will do my best to gather information from within the empire," the Bloodfallen One said calmly, "and provide off-site assistance."
This was a bit perfunctory, and everyone was secretly surprised. In the past, those who had lost blood never had this attitude. They were always very positive no matter big or small.
But in this matter, something always feels wrong.
"As for Chronoa, I am waiting for good news from His Majesty Qinglong." The Blood-Falling One said this, and the shadow on the Iron Throne disappeared.
Adam's eyes flickered slightly, and he rubbed the black ring on his finger, frowning and saying, "Ask Chronoa to stop cooperating with us?"
The Star of Eternal Silence is one of the few loopholes, but Qinglong keeps staring at it, making the role of the Pioneer half useless.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, but he quickly suppressed it, opened the smart terminal, and found Costat.
…
On the other side, Li Ming also logged off from the Iron Throne Hall.
And immediately, someone contacted him again.
"I was just about to contact you..." Li Ming shook his head. After answering the call, only a black sound wave line was heard, accompanied by an old voice: "Your Excellency Qinglong."
"Sir Florian, I've finally waited for you." Li Ming said with a smile, "It's been half a year."
Florian couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and his voice became a little weaker. "It's not that I didn't contact you on purpose, it's just that something unexpected happened with what I promised."
Li Ming frowned, "What do you mean?"
"Our people did obtain information related to the World Blood," Florian explained, "but something unexpected happened during the evacuation, and they were discovered by the enemy."
"We suffered heavy casualties and lost most of our data."
Florian was also helpless when he received the news, because this was what he promised to give to Qinglong.
He made a solemn promise at first, but his subordinates made an unexpected move in the execution.
