Chapter 646: Qinglong's One-Man Show
The virtual conference hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and no one was mentally prepared at all.
It can even be said that no one had thought of this before Qinglong spoke.
To the extent that the virtual projections on the board and member seats began to flicker continuously, that was because the signal was subjected to strong energy interference.
Some even disappeared completely, and the projection equipment was destroyed by the violent fluctuations of energy and could not be connected in a short time.
Gustav's figure also dispersed several times. He turned his head stiffly and looked at the Azure Dragon that was so close to him. He felt his scalp tingling, as if he was staring into the abyss.
What kind of monster is this? How many cards are left in his hand?
Anatoly was no less puzzled, his eyes were also filled with disbelief, and he even subconsciously doubted the truth of what Qinglong said.
The future of the evolution of the ultimate life form has troubled the interstellar world for so many years. How long has Qinglong appeared and he has solved it?
When everyone came back to their senses as if awakened from a dream, a series of questions popped up in their minds. Although they wanted to ask them eagerly, when the words came to their lips, they didn't know how to ask them.
The fact that this group of X-level life forms could lose their composure to this extent is enough to prove how shocking this news is.
Li Ming continued, "There's no need to hide this from you now. The secret deep within the Red River Star Stream is, to some extent, the path to ultimate evolution."
It turned out to be the Red River Star Stream!
Everyone suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the three major civilizations had not heard anything about the Red River Star Stream until now. It turned out that it involved such a huge secret.
Anduin's eyes flickered, and he inexplicably thought of the warships that Qinglong transported with the help of his stargate node.
Not long after Qinglong obtained those things, he claimed that he had mastered the secret of ultimate evolution. Coupled with the importance he attached to them, Anduin believed that the two were related.
So, he asked cautiously, "What exactly is the secret deep within the Red River Star Stream? It shouldn't be some kind of storage device or a piece of paper, right?"
Anduin cared a lot about this matter, because unlike others, he really spent a lot of effort and resources on it because of the information revealed by Qinglong.
But in the end I got nothing, so I wanted to know more urgently, what exactly is it?
Everyone looked at him with sharp eyes.
Li Ming didn't hide anything and said directly, "A corpse, the corpse of a Dominant-class Titan."
Anduin's pupils contracted slightly.
Gulp!
Everyone's throat was rolling, and their thoughts, which had been organized, were scattered all over again. They didn't know what to say.
The Domination level is the ultimate life form, yet a corpse actually appeared.
The few remaining X-level life forms from the three major civilizations were also in a dazed state at this moment, with scrutinizing eyes sweeping over them.
But they didn't even know about this and only learned about it from Qinglong.
"Corpse...it turns out to be a corpse..." Anduin murmured softly. The question that had troubled him for a long time finally had an answer.
"Due to various reasons, this body has been divided, and one part of it is currently in my hands." Li Ming said frankly.
The body was dismembered? Everyone was subconsciously surprised.
But soon, Gustav said, "In other words, the path to evolution lies in the hands of the person or force that possesses the Dominant Corpse."
Everyone who was in a daze suddenly came back to their senses, with different expressions.
Gustav pointed out the problem right away. Although the path to evolution has been found, it still seems to have nothing to do with these guys.
The master of flesh and blood is probably only in the hands of the three major civilizations and Qinglong, and none of them are easy to mess with.
"Sir Qinglong, you suddenly announced this. Are you planning to share the results?" Someone in the members' seats suddenly spoke in a loud voice. He was a humanoid with crystal blue skin.
A lot of eyes converged, carrying inexplicable meanings.
This is a bit impatient, but they are happy to see it.
"Lord Zephyrin..."
Before Li Ming could say anything, Anatoly beside him spoke up and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"
"Are you trying to force Lord Qinglong to express his stance?"
"I'm not..." Zephyrin's face changed slightly, and he was about to explain when he was interrupted by Anatoly.
"Alright, everyone knows this, so stop playing games with words." Anatoly scoffed. "The chairman is speaking out about this because we're all in this together."
"Otherwise, when the ultimate life forms of the three major civilizations emerge one day to clean up the interstellar space, you will still be kept in the dark."
Anatoly developed path dependence. Last time, he tried his best to protect Qinglong and saved him from being liquidated.
This time it jumped out again, and naturally there were some thoughts in my mind.
He looked around solemnly, "The Chairman has already stated that this flesh and blood fell into his hands for some reason. It's the equivalent of his own gains from the game between him and the three great civilizations."
"Instead of questioning the three great civilizations about why they didn't share, you're here questioning the chairman. Is it because he's been too soft in the past?"
Zephyrin said nothing, his face flushed red from being choked, but he didn't dare to confront Anatoly too much, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "I'm not questioning, I'm just asking!"
Contempt was revealed in everyone's eyes. Everyone could see what Anatoly was thinking, that he wanted to have the first sip of soup.
Since Qinglong chose to say it at this time, it was definitely not just to remind them that there was nothing wrong with Zephyrin's inquiry.
He was only caught by Anatoly and showed his loyalty.
However, after Anatoly made such a fuss, some of the guys who wanted to speak up shut their mouths silently.
All those present were X-level life forms, so naturally they had thoughts about the ultimate path of evolution. For a moment, they couldn't help but come up with the idea of joining forces to force Qinglong.
But after calming down a little, they realized that this was impossible because the group of people on the board of directors would never go the same way as them.
Anatoly, Anduin, Perkins and others all have a good relationship with Azure Dragon, and may get the path of evolution from Azure Dragon.
Li Ming responded coldly, taking in everyone's expressions. He certainly knew that this would arouse the greed of some guys and even create a subtle atmosphere within higher life forms.
But this is something that will happen sooner or later. Instead of letting others detonate the bomb and responding hastily, it is better to detonate it yourself.
"Don't be anxious, please listen to me." Li Ming said, and everyone sat up straight.
"The method I have is only applicable to genetically evolved organisms," he narrated.
Many people's faces changed slightly. Although they had some guesses, after all, the only route that required the upper-level evolution of corpses was the genetic evolution route.
But when I heard Qinglong's confirmation, I couldn't help feeling disappointed.
Anatoly pursed his lips slightly, he was not disappointed. Although his evolutionary path was different from his, perhaps he could learn from it.
Li Ming ignored everyone's reactions and continued, "If you want to evolve into the ultimate life form, you must use something called gene source to strengthen all of your underlying genes to level x..."
this…
Everyone was stunned. They thought Qinglong would keep the method of evolution secret, but he just said it out loud.
"Strengthen the base gene to X-level to increase physical strength, and then fuse it with the ultimate gene seed. Yes, that's right..." someone danced with excitement. "Fusing multiple X-level gene seeds will only cause deformation of your body..."
But someone soon realized what was happening and asked, "Chairman, what is gene source?"
Li Ming explained: "Gene source is a special substance extracted from the ultimate evolutionary body. After being mixed with the gene seed, it forms a targeted strengthening substance."
We still need to dominate the corpse, everyone sighed in their hearts.
He further added: "Gene source material must reach at least level X before it can be used, otherwise it will cause genetic distortion. At the same time, if a life form has already fused multiple gene seeds, it will not be able to strengthen the S-level gene seeds, which will also cause genetic distortion."
"That is to say, an evolved being that has already embarked on the path to ultimate evolution is unable to become the ultimate evolved being."
This sentence sounds a bit ironic.
"What?" The faces of many genetically evolved beings changed drastically, including Gustav.
Among the more than 200 X-level life forms present, only a few had excited expressions on their faces.
X-level life forms that have exhausted their development potential are unable to develop their gene seeds to 100%.
However, those with high development potential have already integrated multiple gene seeds.
There are only a few who meet the requirements, have sufficient development potential, and whose development progress has not yet reached 100%, and they still retain the hope of becoming the ultimate life.
"This evolutionary route is not prepared for us at all..." Someone sighed and shook his head helplessly.
Gustav, however, grasped the key information and pressed the issue, "A genetically evolved being that has embarked on the ultimate path is simply unable to strengthen its S-rank gold seed?"
"Not bad..." Li Ming nodded and glanced at him: "The vice chairman is very observant. Only the S-level gold seeds cannot be strengthened. All the previous low-level gold seeds can be strengthened normally to enhance them, thereby furthering the evolution level."
As soon as these words were spoken, the gloomy spirits of many people brightened up slightly.
From F to A, there are a total of six gene seeds. If all are strengthened, they can probably be upgraded to an extremely high level.
But it’s still the same original question: all the flesh and blood have owners.
Everyone looked at Qinglong, but no one spoke. They all hoped that Qinglong would make a selfless decision, but if they put themselves in his shoes, they would think that monopolizing the path of evolution and leading the way would be the best choice.
Feeling the gazes of the crowd, Li Ming said calmly: "As the only person outside of the three major civilizations who possesses the flesh and blood of the master, I will take out the gene source."
In an instant, everyone's breathing stopped and their hearts were shocked. They didn't expect Qinglong to be really willing to take out the things.
Their eyes turned fiery as they looked at Azure Dragon, as if he were a god leading the way in evolution.
"However, it's not free." Li Ming immediately emphasized, "Next, the joint organization will set up a contribution list. The top three every ten years will be eligible to purchase."
"Selfless!" Anatoly shouted immediately, his expression agitated, his voice trembling slightly. "Mr. Chairman, you truly are... an eternal star in the interstellar space."
Anduin looked at Anatoly in silence.
After hearing Li Ming's request, everyone was a little disappointed, but also understandable.
After all, the gene source must have a cost, and it is selected within the joint organization.
Since no one cares about the purchasing qualifications, they all have huge businesses under their control. Not to mention that they have unlimited money, but as long as Qinglong makes an offer, they can always get it out.
Gustav responded coldly. Qinglong's move was really vicious. He was hanging the person with a carrot and running away.
Li Ming waited until they had almost digested it before he continued, "Of course, I know some people won't be satisfied. In that case, I can only ask you to go to the three major civilizations and ask for it."
"Going to the three major civilizations would mean being treated like a slave, but it doesn't guarantee reaching the ultimate level..." Anduin shook his head. "The three major civilizations haven't even finished cultivating their own X-class life forms yet, so how could they possibly cultivate outsiders?"
As long as there is hope on the side of the Higher United Organization, no one is willing to be a dog for others.
Besides, strengthening only one or two underlying gene seeds would not require them to make such a huge sacrifice.
The few who had the hope of being promoted to X-level life forms couldn't help but feel gloomy.
Anduin was right. There were X-level life forms within the three major civilizations. Even if they were to be dogs, they would have to queue up.
It would be better to follow Qinglong, perhaps there is some hope.
"Then what are the requirements for this contribution list?" Gustav suddenly asked.
Li Ming had a plan in mind: "It's simple. From now on, the joint organization will not only have proposals, but every X-level lifeform will be able to seek help from within the organization when they encounter a problem. A special organization department will be set up to assess the level of these problems and convert them into contribution points."
Sure enough... Gustav snorted in his heart, and just brought the Black Hole Palace's tactics over, turning this joint organization further into Qinglong's one-man rule.
With this contribution mechanism in place, any request made by Qinglong in the future will be regarded as a supreme order, and those who want to complete it will flock to it.
Everyone present manages a large organization and naturally understands that this contribution mechanism is essentially used to motivate subordinates.
But he also felt helpless, because it was Qinglong who controlled the resources.
"Of course, contribution points are not only used to exchange for gene source essence, but also have other uses." Li Ming added.
Everyone had different thoughts and nodded in agreement.
Maybe someone noticed, or maybe no one cared. None of Qinglong's demands went through the proposal process.
"So..." Li Ming came back again, "Theoretically speaking, the one who did it is most likely a life form that has been strengthened by the source."
"Apart from me, probably only three major civilizations are suspected of this."
Everyone looked at each other, and after a lot of twists and turns, they came back to the three major civilizations, but the suspicion of the three major civilizations was not very high, and Qinglong had even rejected them before.
"Could it be the ultimate life form?" Anatoly asked involuntarily. He was investigating the matter and was most concerned about it.
The others also felt a tightness in their hearts.
