The Supreme Core?
Tanus didn't expect that the other party actually knew this thing, but then he felt that the name was vaguely familiar.
A certain guiding civilization seemed to have called themselves this, and seemed to call themselves alchemists?
He remembered that it was a civilization in the previous evolutionary era belonging to the Titans, at the beginning of Yongyuan's active period.
Even when the Eternal Abyss was not yet active, they prostrated themselves at the feet of the Lord of the Abyss and regarded Him as the supreme being.
Moreover, imitating the Abyss Mist, they have been creating some kind of substance that can corrode everything.
By the middle of Yongyuan's active period, their loyalty finally won the favor of the Abyss Master, who bestowed them with an Abyss Core.
But it was precisely this Abyss Core that allowed the Titans to discover this not-so-powerful civilization and directly destroy it.
"The heir of alchemical civilization, no wonder..." Tanus looked at the other party with a different gaze.
Levenbeck was shocked to the extreme. He didn't expect that the Supreme Core recorded in the alchemical civilization really existed.
He thought it was just a figment of the imagination of the alchemical civilization.
There is not much information left by the alchemical civilization, and only a few words of records about it, but it has the possibility of taking the alchemical source material to a higher level.
"This power..." After a brief excitement, Levenbeck realized where the power coming from the Supreme Core in front of him came from.
"Are you...from Yongyuan?" Levenbeck couldn't help but ask, his heart was shaken violently.
I finally understood why a lot of information in the alchemical civilization was covered up, and even many things were deliberately erased. It turned out that they were "star traitors."
"Yes, my name is Tanus. The name given to me in the last evolutionary era should be the King of the End." Tanus did not hide it.
Are you really from Yongyuan?
The Prophet and the Virgin Mary suppressed their emotions, all kinds of thoughts surged in their minds, and there were many questions in their minds, but in the end they all fell silent and could only listen to the conversation between the two.
Levenbaker was silent for a long time. Even for him, the impact was quite significant.
Many questions were mixed together, but in the end, the only question was: "Why did you attack Li Ming?"
"You don't need to know," Tanus said. "The Supreme Core you mentioned is currently being severely suppressed by the main universe. Do you have a way to erase this suppression?"
Are they trying to pull him onto Yongyuan's ship?
Levenbeck was a little excited. As early as when he was "beaten to death" by his teacher, he had no ties to this interstellar world.
If I could really join Yongyuan and become someone like him, watching one evolutionary era after another pass away, it would seem like it would be nice.
Thinking of this, he gathered his thoughts, looked towards the Supreme Core, frowned and said:
"The main universe's suppression of it probably stems from its energy properties, like two immiscible liquids. To solve this problem, we can only change its energy properties or add a medium..."
Having said this, he suddenly paused and turned to look at the blood-gold liquid in the glass jar.
Alchemical source material is the best medium. After all, it is the path that alchemical civilization once envisioned.
But he felt as if everything was planned, as if there were a pair of eyes staring at him in the dark.
Tanus looked at the blood-gold substance in the glass jar, and perhaps had a guess, he said, "Is this the substance you are talking about?"
"I'm not sure, it should be possible..." Levenbeck hesitated.
"Of course you can," Tanus interrupted rudely, handing over the Abyss Core. He said in a deep voice, "This thing has been specially processed, so you can control it more easily. I need you to spread it as quickly as possible over a large enough distance."
Levenbeck's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said, "I'll do it as soon as possible, but there is a problem."
"Li Ming and I have some conflicts. He has been secretly investigating my location and knows me quite well. If I fuse this thing with the alchemical essence and spread it out, he might just target me directly."
"Hmm?" Tanus's eyes narrowed slightly, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. He clenched his trident tightly and said in a deep voice, "It's just right. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to find him when the time comes."
"When this is over, you will coexist with Yongyuan just like me."
"I will do my best." Levenbaker nodded heavily.
The Prophet and the Virgin Mary looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
There was no place for them in Tanus's promise.
…
In the Federal President's Office, Malcolm kneaded his brows and was communicating with the figure on the screen.
"Qing..." Alvis paused before saying, "The mechanical body sent by Li Ming has arrived at the designated location. We are taking it to the laboratory."
"Yeah." Malcolm nodded and asked, "Have those that need to be moved been moved?"
Alves nodded. "We transferred about one-tenth of the flesh and blood, as well as a portion of the experimental personnel. This was completed over the course of two months, leaving no trace."
Hearing this, Malcolm couldn't help but sigh, "The remaining 90% will probably not escape Li Ming's hands."
Transferring flesh and blood secretly is not "lip service".
Gutierrez's hysterical expression at that time was still vivid in his mind. How had the Overmind lab been found? How had the flesh and blood in the hands of the Covenant disappeared?
Malcolm was certain that Li Ming must have a way to find the location where they hid their flesh and blood, and the key might lie in the mechanical body sent.
But he didn't want to go to war with Li Ming, so he could only keep some hope for the Federation in this way.
He sighed deeply, "Li Ming, Yong Yuan, oh, why am I so unlucky..."
Then he looked at Alves and said solemnly, "Sir, prepare the Spark Plan. We can't rely on Li Ming alone. Even Titan couldn't stop him."
Alves said in a low voice: "I understand."
………
As the War of Empires gradually came to an end, the interstellar world seemed to have returned to its former tranquility.
It’s just that the frequent visitor to the hot search list has become an empire.
As time went by, news of the detention of a marquis, a grand duke, a general, or even a star-level governor often came from within the country, sparking a flurry of discussion.
There are so many galaxy and even planet-level archons who have been captured that it is no longer worth being on the hot search list.
With the addition of Reynolds and Mikhail, as well as the assistance of Kostat and the support of Li Ming, Abel's knife is invincible.
Many repetitive grassroots jobs have been gradually replaced by mechanical life forms from the Mechanical Royal Court, and review agencies composed exclusively of mechanical life forms have been established in multiple departments.
There is also large-scale disarmament, and military funds are used to purchase mechanical bodies, and the cycle continues.
This behavior, which touched upon multiple interest groups, should have caused an extremely strong backlash, but under the absolute power, there was not much disturbance.
Such drastic reforms greatly reduced corruption and exploitation, and gradually resolved some of the disputes that had occurred when Abel took over.
The vast majority of lower-class citizens applauded when they saw so many high-ranking officials being brought down.
After all, no matter how the top leadership changes, only rulers who can improve their living standards will be supported.
Even some public opinions at the interstellar level have gradually improved, and there are even many citizens of other civilizations who envy them.
The seeds of machinery gradually entered the territories of the three major civilizations, pushing sales to new highs and turning into a steady stream of metal materials, pouring into the Mechanical Royal Court.
In this way, half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, among the various spaceships that continuously poured out of the Mechanical Royal Court's Star Gate Node No. 3, there was an inconspicuous spaceship, even though its surface paint style was very different from the mainstream interstellar spacecraft.
But compared with those highly modified alien spaceships around him, it can only be said to be commonplace.
There were only three people in the spaceship, all of the same race. Their heads looked enormous, like inverted teardrops, with fluorescent blood vessels pulsating beneath their cyan skin.
The skull is almost transparent, and the liquid brain circulating inside can be vaguely seen.
The torso is extremely thin, as if all nutrients have been squeezed out by the skull.
"We're finally here..." one of them spoke. His skin seemed to be darker blue and had more wrinkles.
"Char, it's too late." The man next to him shook his head. "This interstellar civilization is too strange. We rushed here when we learned that they had mastered the route to the ultimate level of evolution."
"But in such a short period of time, two ultimate life forms were born here. This is completely inconsistent with the laws of evolution."
"I estimate that Yongyuan has entered its initial active phase. This era of evolution is doomed to collapse. We should find a place to hide."
"Boris..." The guy named Charles shook his head, his brain tissue rippled with blue phosphorescence. "That's why we have to tell them everything we know."
"That Tanus's appearance was extremely strange. The Li Ming he attacked must have had some peculiar qualities. We must warn him."
"Everything recorded at the end of Titan is known only to us."
"But what we recorded is too horrifying. He might not believe those things about Yongyuan." The last person spoke, his voice obviously much younger.
"Maybe he'll think we're exaggerating. What if he arrests us?"
"Besides, the people in this interstellar space actually dared to cut the flesh and blood of the master. In my opinion, they should be left to fend for themselves!" At the end, his voice was already extremely high-pitched.
"Foolish!" Charles shouted. "Gad, our duty has never been to protect the Overlords. We are recorders. The Overlords let us leave so that they can pass on the information they hold."
"I'm afraid my kindness won't be appreciated," Gad snorted coldly. "Warning is useless. Facing Yongyuan, no matter who you are, there's only one way to go: death."
"That's enough. If you don't want to go first, you can wait outside." Charles scolded.
Gard turned his head and said calmly, "If you get caught, where can I run with such obvious racial characteristics?"
The three of them were silent and didn't say anything. They only heard a loud roar from the spacecraft and it had connected with the platform.
"Let's go." Charles whispered and was the first to get out of the hatch.
…
At the same time, in the spaceship dock inside the Mechanical Royal Court, Anduin also walked down from a cutting-edge spaceship.
"Chairman..." Anduin nodded slightly at Li Ming in front of him. It was too strange to call the other party "Sir Li Ming". Since the War of Empires, he had always called the other party Chairman.
"Thank you for your help." Li Ming nodded.
"It's my duty." Anduin turned sideways and walked down the stairs behind him. Two tall rune puppets carried two cages and walked down one after another.
Among them were Sind and Kubra, both of whom were wearing heavy amethyst shackles, and their life breath was suppressed to an extremely low level.
"These two guys were very alert. It took some time to find them and send them here." Anduin explained.
Hearing Anduin's words, Kubra reluctantly raised his head. When he saw the figure in front of him clearly, his expression suddenly changed, his scarlet pupils trembled, and he screamed in shock: "Qing, Qinglong!?"
When Anduin and others attacked him, he felt something was wrong. This group of people were not trying to kill him.
But he never expected that the person who wanted to arrest him was actually the big shot in front of him.
"Li Ming?" A surprised voice came from behind him. Xinde leaned sideways with his head pressed against the fence. There was not much fear in his eyes, and he even looked at him with curiosity.
Li Ming glanced over and looked at this X-level life form suffering from mental illness.
"So you wanted to arrest me?" Xinde asked in confusion. "Why did you arrest me? To do an experiment? And Kubra? Is this idiot worth studying?"
Kubra was no longer in the mood to pay attention to Sind's sarcasm.
Anduin frowned slightly and scolded, "Cynde, you have committed multiple interstellar crimes. You are being arrested for trial."
"Judgment?" Sind's eyes widened, as if he had heard something unbelievable. Then he laughed crazily, "Haha... Anduin, stop pretending. Who has a clean arse? Judgment? Judgment, damn!"
Xinde described himself as insane, his mental state indeed worrying. Then his wild laughter suddenly stopped, and his voice was cold: "I disguised myself all the way here just to see who wanted to catch me. Now that they know, there is no need for me to pretend."
Anduin was shocked and became extremely alert in an instant. Many thoughts emerged in his mind. Could it be that Sind had hidden abilities?
He dared to say this in front of Li Ming, perhaps he really had some hidden tricks.
Xinde's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stretched out his hands. Then, a breath suddenly appeared, but it did not last for a moment and disappeared in an instant.
Dense cracks appeared on the surface of his body. He staggered backward and bumped into the cage.
Anduin's eyes widened, and he seemed a little dazed. "The gene chain collapsed?"
This was his method? Suicide?
"Ha...haha..." Seeing Anduin's bewildered look, Cynder laughed even more fiercely. "Feels good, right? If I hadn't wanted to see who was trying to capture me, would you have been able to catch me alive?"
Kubra's face froze. Where the hell did this pervert come from?
Xinde turned to look at Li Ming, hoping to see a look of astonishment and anger on the face of this ultimate life form, but all he saw was calmness.
The other party raised his hand, and an extremely luxurious throne suddenly appeared behind him, followed by golden rays of light converging from all directions.
"...Want to save me?" Xinde's chest twitched, and he grinned, "My gene chain is broken and no one can save me. No one can..."
As he was speaking, his face suddenly became extremely terrified, "My body is repairing itself, how is this possible, this..."
Wherever the golden light passed, the cracks on his skin surface were quickly repaired, and in the blink of an eye, they returned to normal.
This could be saved? Anduin was secretly surprised. Genetic disruption was equivalent to destroying the very foundation of a cell's existence, involving a microscopic level. Even with preparation, let alone haste, there had been no successful rescue.
Xinde's face was fierce, "I don't believe it!"
Then, his body began to collapse again. Li Ming's expression was calm. The peak of the Eternal Holy Throne could maintain Sind's life by releasing a little power.
After several cycles, Anduin's throat rolled, and Kubra was already squeezed into a corner of the cage, his face full of horror.
Xinde looked dazed and confused, as if he had been played to pieces.
Li Ming just looked down at him calmly, then said: "You can't die without my permission."
