Chapter 632 Big News
After adjusting the coordinates, Li Ming thought about it, found Sheffield's name again, and dialed it through the encrypted channel.
The call was quickly connected, and on the virtual screen, Sheffield greeted with a gentle smile, "Your Excellency Qinglong..."
Li Ming nodded slightly and said, "How is the company's reconstruction going?"
Sheffield responded, "It's almost completely rebuilt. The overall structure hasn't been damaged, only some core areas have become ruins. Rebuilding it won't take too much time and resources."
At this point, he paused and spoke tentatively, still a little nervous, "Is there a problem with the gene seed?"
He didn't think Qinglong came to him just to ask about the company's situation. The only thing he could think of was that there might be something wrong with the prepared gene seeds.
Qinglong takes this matter very seriously. If there is any problem with the gene seed, he will have to bear the consequences.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
"That's not it." Li Ming denied directly, "I want to invite you to come to the Mechanical King's Court."
"Oh?" Sheffield was slightly stunned.
"I want to study the feasibility of the ultimate gene seed," Li Ming continued. "I'm going to let you take the lead and see if we can find a direction."
This matter is not a bad thing in itself. If it is too secretive, it may make Sheffield suspicious.
"Ultimate gene seed?" Sheffield's breath hitched.
The ultimate life form is the eternal pursuit of the interstellar world today, but he was not too excited.
After all, the most important issue with the ultimate gene seed is the material. If this problem cannot be solved, all feasible solutions are useless.
But he was not surprised that Qinglong had such an idea. Who doesn't want to evolve to the ultimate life form level, especially a person like Qinglong who almost stands at the top of the interstellar space.
"Well..." Sheffield hesitated and said helplessly, "If it's just me, I'm afraid I can't do anything."
"I'd like to ask that, too." Li Ming took over the conversation. "Who else do you think is qualified to participate in the interstellar space? I mean people who are not from the three major civilizations."
"Hmm..." Sheffield's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that Qinglong was not joking and was really prepared for this.
He couldn't help but feel a little excited. It was not at the civilization level, and it was not at the level of one of the three major civilizations. It was almost impossible to initiate research at this level.
The manpower and resources are completely not on the same level, which will only waste time.
If he initiated this research, there might not be much response, but the resources that Qinglong could leverage would be different.
Even if the ultimate gene seed cannot be researched, any other gains will be of inestimable value.
With the example of the Mechanical Seed, Sheffield clearly saw its value and was determined to get involved.
He pondered, "There are a few guys who are quite good at this, mainly active in the Sea of Stars. When I was preparing the gene seed before, I asked them for advice indirectly."
"How about this, you make a list for me and I'll see if I can invite them." Li Ming said with a smile.
"Okay." Sheffield nodded, then changed the subject, "However, there are a few guys who are withdrawn. Why don't I go around and invite them personally?"
The last time he prepared the gene seed for Qinglong, the other party did not do anything to him and even fulfilled his previous promise, which greatly increased his trust in Qinglong.
Taking the initiative to volunteer is also a way to improve your own value.
"Okay." Li Ming's eyes lit up slightly, "Then I'll trouble you, sir."
"However..." he emphasized, "This matter is best kept secret. Otherwise, if the three great civilizations learn of it, they might try to interfere."
Sheffield told him not to worry, "Those who can independently produce X-level gene seeds and have not yet been recruited by the three major civilizations are more or less in trouble with them."
Li Ming nodded, and the two exchanged a few more pleasantries before ending the communication.
"Sheffield can really help me save time. Let's see how many people he can bring." Li Ming couldn't help but grin.
With Sheffield's help, he doesn't have to run anymore, otherwise it would probably take him half a year to complete the whole journey.
I sorted out in my mind what I was going to do next.
Li Ming pulled out a series of medicines and poured them into his stomach. Only then did he enter the long-lost development state, and various elemental particles began to spread in the room again.
Two days later, an inconspicuous little spaceship arrived at the Mechanical Royal Court, taking a secret passage and arriving here unnoticed by outsiders.
In the spaceship dock, Ulrich first saw the guy that Li Ming specifically asked to take care of.
"Is it him?" Ulrich's heart trembled slightly when he saw this somewhat nervous guy walking down from the spaceship.
He had seen this person before, in a video sent from the deep dimensional world more than a year ago.
At that time, Lord Qinglong was the first to reach the Holy Castle, and this guy seemed to be the key factor used by the Empire to open the Holy Castle.
How come he is here?
Ulrich's first thought was, and then he had a guess, a guess that made his heart beat wildly.
Leonidas walked down the stairs slowly, feeling somewhat uneasy.
After all, this is Li Ming's territory, and he has no idea what the personality of the Qinglong student who is known as "the person with the greatest potential in interstellar development" is like.
Attitude towards his arrival is also very important.
"Lord Leonidas?" Ulrich came up and introduced himself in a friendly manner. "I'm Ulrich, the CEO of the Mechanical Royal Court."
"Sir Ulrich..." Laionidak responded hurriedly.
"Please follow me, sir. The resting place has been arranged. Please follow me." Ulrich turned slightly sideways.
Lai Onidak reacted quickly, hurriedly followed, and asked cautiously: "Do you want to go see Mr. Li Ming first?"
"No, he's usually busy, so he's probably with His Excellency Qinglong right now," Ulrich said nonsense, "but he specifically instructed me to receive His Excellency personally."
After hearing from the other party that Li Ming did not deliberately avoid seeing him and had even taken special care of him, Leonidas' expression eased.
On the way, Ulrich further asked, "Sir, are you coming from the Holy Castle?"
Leonidas paused, and in his mind emerged some information that Boss Qinglong had specifically warned him not to reveal to anyone.
He pursed his lips and nodded, "Yes, I came from the Holy Castle."
"Is the matter over there over?" Ulrich verified his guess and asked impatiently.
"It's over." Leonidas said vaguely.
"Who won? Was it Lord Qinglong?" Ulrich suppressed the excitement in his heart.
"It's His Excellency Qinglong." Leonidas gave the correct answer.
Ulrich stopped suddenly and turned back, which scared Leonidak. He found that the other party was looking at him with extremely fiery eyes.
"What exactly is the situation?" Ulrich's throat rolled. All high-level interstellar life forms knew that in the matter of the Holy Castle, there would inevitably be another clash between the three major civilizations and Azure Dragon.
But no one knows when it will happen, so naturally everyone is extremely curious.
He also didn't expect that the Holy Castle dispute would end so quietly.
And Qinglong won. He realized that there was a lot of potential here, and perhaps it could further bless the current Mechanical Royal Court.
"This..." Lai Onidak couldn't help but hesitate, and Ulrich also realized that his attitude was a little too excited.
He calmed himself down and without further questioning, took Leonidas to a special small aircraft outside the spaceship dock.
As the anti-gravity engine started, the aircraft floated silently towards the core residential area, and the building area below flew past at a high speed.
A gentle breeze blew towards me, mixed with the unique smell of metal materials.
"Don't worry, I know there are some things you definitely can't say directly. You just need to pick out the things you can say." Ulrich calmed down and guessed that Qinglong probably had instructed Leonidak.
There should be some information that cannot be leaked.
Leonidas finally breathed a sigh of relief, gathered his thoughts, and whispered, "This is the situation..."
He told the whole story, and the most important thing was that he hid the few things that fell after Morris died.
He didn't know what those things were exactly, but Qinglong had specifically emphasized that if they were leaked, anyone related to him would die.
"The ultimate...life...form?" Ulrich's voice was dry and he was dumbfounded.
Lord Qinglong actually killed a guy who was suspected to be the ultimate life form, and he was filled with shock and fear.
"...It's the Titan offshoot that appeared in the video. The three civilizations' method of killing the forbidden lifeforms must have been him..." Ulrich's cheeks flushed red as he paced back and forth on the aircraft. "How could such a major event go unnoticed?"
"Yes, we must not do it silently, letting the three major civilizations act as if nothing has happened and everyone else still maintains their dignity."
"When we killed the forbidden life form, it caused a lot of turmoil in the interstellar space. We can't play dead now."
"What do you mean?" Leonidas asked puzzled.
"Do you have any relatives?" Ulrich asked suddenly.
"Almost gone..." Leonidas looked gloomy. After connecting to the communication network some time ago, he found out that his fiancée had remarried during the nearly one year since he disappeared.
"That's good..." Ulrich said halfway, looking a little embarrassed, and explained: "What I mean is, make a list of the people you think are important, and I will send someone to pick them up as soon as possible..."
"And you need to give an interview."
"Interview?" Leonidas was stunned.
“Yes, Lord Qinglong dislikes fame and fortune, but I cannot stand the fact that nothing happens to the three great civilizations.” Ulrich suddenly raised his voice.
"Don't worry about it. I'll give you the interview transcript when the time comes."
Leonidas nodded blankly and thought carefully. Boss Qinglong only asked him not to disclose what happened after Morris's death. As for what happened before that, he didn't specifically remind him.
Ulrich was ready to go and quickly contacted people on the smart terminal.
And just three days later, the calm interstellar public opinion field was suddenly thrown into turmoil by a video.
A Qinglong fanatic named "Chief Dragon Blower" suddenly released an interview video without any warning, and the title exploded -
[The Ultimate Lifeform Dies! The Three Great Civilizations Retreat!]
His number of fans is already huge, and it is linked to the increasingly large Mechanical Royal Court and Qinglong itself. In the interstellar public opinion field, he is a sharp blade.
This time the knife was drawn even faster and more sharply, instantly attracting a lot of people's attention.
This is an interview video. The interviewee looks like an ordinary being who is a bit shy.
"Why do I seem to have seen him somewhere..."
“…it looks pretty ordinary, another catchy headline…”
Some people had a vague impression of Leonidas when they saw him.
Many forces immediately recognized this guy as the one who opened the Holy Castle. At the same time, they also realized that this video was probably not simple.
The chief dragon blower who came to interview Onidaq was a man wearing a hood and speaking in a strange tone, "Some people should have recognized this gentleman as the one who was forced by the Empire to open the Holy Castle..."
"What is the Holy Castle?"
A series of comments passed by, some people answered, but more were filled with doubts.
The interview did not explain this issue, but went straight to the point.
"Sir Leonidas, you said you witnessed the war between the three great civilizations and Sir Azure Dragon on the Holy Castle..."
"Yes..." Leonidas nodded solemnly, "I witnessed the entire disastrous defeat of the three major civilizations..."
The interview format was simple, the answers were also simple, and they were obviously designed, but what was not simple was the information it revealed.
As more and more information was released, more and more comments were posted, and the popularity soared, many people discovered that this did not seem to be a funny video.
In some unknown place, a battle occurred that was powerful enough to cause interstellar shock.
"...It's truly heartbreaking. The fall of an ultimate life form, the death of an imperial prince, the sacrifice of several X-class life forms, and yet the three major civilizations remain completely indifferent. What do you think is the reason?"
Leonidas pondered, "Maybe it's fear, fear..."
"...Then I believe that once this interview video is released, it will definitely cause a huge uproar. Some people may even doubt the truth of what you said. Can you prove that what you said is true?"
Leonidas shook his head. "I don't have any video recordings, but I'm willing to take responsibility for what I say and debate with anyone sent by the three civilizations."
"Wow, that's a really strong stance," Chief Long Chui responded exaggeratedly, then his voice dropped. "So... do the three great civilizations dare to respond?"
The video is not long and was immediately placed on the desks of various civilizations and forces.
Many interstellar figures, leaders of civilizations, and X-level life forms were stunned. What surprised them was not that the three major civilizations were defeated in the battle for the Holy Castle.
But the words "ultimate life form" did not cause much waves among ordinary life forms.
Most ordinary people don’t know what these words mean because they are too far away from them.
But these interstellar bigwigs were different. They even suspected that the subtitles were wrong. Even after hearing it several times, they still refused to believe it.
