It’s bad enough that I’m controlled by others while I’m alive, but now I can’t even decide my own death?
Sind's eyes were gradually covered with bloodshot, his body was shaking violently, and thousands of lava cracks appeared on the surface of his skin.
Black energy was flowing in every crack, and the edges of the body were faintly dispersing, as if it was about to split.
But the amethyst shackles on his body also emitted light, and the rune chains were intertwined layer by layer, as if to restrain him.
"Epileptic Syndrome was originally a mental illness that resulted in multiple personalities. However, as he evolved, it gradually developed into a supernatural ability," Anduin explained in a low voice. "It allows him to split into multiple sub-bodies."
Li Ming nodded.
As if realizing that he could do nothing, Xinde's emotions gradually calmed down. He suddenly rushed forward and crashed into the metal cage with a "duang" sound.
His head was squeezed between the bars of the cage, his eyes stretched narrowly, and the arcs of electricity surging from the bars burned scars on his cheeks.
"You can't stare at me like this forever!" Xinde's face twisted as he roared, yet grinned grimly. "I don't know when you'll start your experiment, but before you do, I'll rush towards death without a care in the world!"
"Ha ha ha ha…"
Although he failed to disgust the other party by committing suicide, Li Ming's behavior also made him realize his own importance.
No matter how Li Ming did it, no one except him could use this method, and how could a person like the other party keep an eye on him all the time?
It would be even better if the other party was really forced to stare at him all the time.
Listening to Sind's shrill laughter, Anduin frowned and felt a headache. People like Sind were the most difficult to deal with. They were not afraid of death but were also very crazy.
When they caught him before, they had experienced this. This guy did not defend himself at all after falling into the trap, which really restricted him, Perkins and others.
Li Ming's face remained calm throughout, and he was not disturbed by Xinde's crazy expression. He just switched the control object silently.
Just by stretching out his finger and pointing, Anduin's expression changed slightly. He felt the change in the time parameters.
The space near Sind gradually began to ripple. These were not spatial fluctuations, but a deeper level of movement.
Sind could already feel the sticky texture of honey in the air, coming from all around and gradually surrounding him.
The flowing black hair solidified first, followed by the limbs. The capillary network under the skin still remained expanded from the rush of blood.
"No, no..." Xinde also noticed something unusual. He wanted to resist but he could do nothing. The air coming out of his mouth solidified and the tip of his tongue remained in a curled and forceful posture.
The whole person seemed to be trapped by an invisible crystal and sealing layer, like a mosquito entering amber, unable to move.
"Is this... Time Exile?" Anduin looked horrified. After taking a closer look, he found something wrong.
Because there were still strong emotional fluctuations in Xinde's eyes.
"Isn't the thinking solidified?" Anduin realized this and took a deep breath.
The body is exiled, but the mind is not. The cage of time traps Sind tightly. He can think, but his anger is powerless against his body.
For such a crazy guy, this feeling of powerlessness is undoubtedly the greatest torture.
Even Anduin felt his scalp tingling when he put himself in the other person's shoes.
Why provoke him? Anduin looked at Sind with pity.
Li Ming's gaze swept across Xinde's body. This was naturally the delicate control of the Star of Eternal Silence. Freezing the body without freezing the mind required certain skills.
"I will absolutely cooperate!" Kubra saw Li Ming's eyes locked on him, and a chill ran from his tailbone to his forehead. He hurriedly explained, "I'm not sick, and I won't commit suicide. I'll do whatever you ask me to do."
Xinde’s miserable situation was right before his eyes. He could neither live nor die. This imprisoned state, half-dead and half-alive, was too painful.
He is a normal person and doesn't want to experience that kind of loneliness at all.
"Forget it, it's safer to seal it up." Li Ming shook his head. He really didn't have time to keep an eye on these guys. It would be disgusting if one of them really committed suicide one day.
Amidst Kubra's repeated wails, he also sealed him up.
However, this time, even my thoughts were frozen, and time was frozen. Even if countless years passed, I couldn't feel it.
"Chairman, I didn't expect that Sind was so crazy, and he left a backup plan in his body. A single thought could cause his genes to collapse." Anduin said with an apologetic tone.
It is not easy to enter a state of genetic collapse, as the body's highly evolved state will resist this self-destruction.
It can only be done with the assistance of other means, such as gene editing at the microscopic level.
There are only a handful of people in the entire galaxy who have this kind of technology, and it is extremely risky. Only a madman like Sind would do this.
"Don't worry about it." Although there was a small incident, Li Ming didn't care. The mechanical body behind him took the cage and prepared to move it to the special storage area.
"Some time ago, Anatoly sent me some portions of 'Xu Liu Golden Spot'. They taste pretty good. Would you like to try them?" Li Ming invited. It seemed too unkind of him to send others away after they had run around for him.
Anduin naturally would not refuse the opportunity to get closer to him, and the two of them chatted casually and walked out of the spaceship dock.
As soon as he walked out of the door, he ran into Ulrich who was rushing over. He seemed to be ready to report something, but when his eyes swept over Anduin, his open mouth closed again.
"Since the chairman has something to deal with, I will go back first." Anduin said tactfully.
"No need..." Li Ming stopped him and said, "Anduin is one of us, just tell me what you want to say."
It must not be an urgent matter, otherwise Ulrich would not come in person to show his presence.
Ulrich immediately said, "Ten minutes ago, someone caused a commotion at Stargate Node No. 3 and demanded to see you."
"Oh?" Li Ming's eyes moved slightly. The entire galaxy wanted to see him. If it was an ordinary troublemaker, they would definitely not report it to him.
"Who?"
Ulrich explained, "After being captured by the patrol guards, they claimed to be the Titan survivors and had extremely important news to share with you. The term 'Titan survivors' triggered a sensitive word alert, which is why they came to me."
"Titan descendants?" Li Ming was slightly stunned. Why did the Titan descendants come to find him inexplicably?
Anduin next to him also felt quite strange. The Titan descendants had always avoided this interstellar space, but this time they actually came to him on their own initiative.
"Do you want to go and take a look together?" Li Ming asked Anduin.
"No, they're here to see you. I won't join in the fun." Anduin declined, letting him know that he had already given him enough face, and it would be tactless to follow them.
"Okay, then you follow Ulrich and rest for a while. I'll see what these Titan survivors want to do." Li Ming nodded and instructed Ulrich, "Send them to the Heavenly Palace."
"yes."
He was the first to return to the Heavenly Palace, but he couldn't help but speculate in his mind, and even thought of the Titan relics. After all, there were two holy castles whose whereabouts were unknown, and he had always been thinking about them.
He didn't have to wait too long, the patrol guards soon brought the person over.
In the reception room, Li Ming met three Titan survivors with strange looks.
Recorder?
Looking at the iconic inverted water drop brain, Li Ming recognized it at a glance.
In the Titan Chronicles, there are special records of this branch of Titans. They are considered the historians of the Titans, responsible for recording and organizing many major events. Many powerful Titans have special recorders following them.
The chapters about the recorders occupy quite a bit of space in the Titan Chronicles, probably because they were the writers.
They also compiled the relevant information about the Glorious Dynasty. Although they are not good at evolution, their status in the Titan branch is not low.
Li Ming had many thoughts in his mind at once, but he spoke warmly, "You're welcome, please take a seat."
Charles and the other two were a little restrained. Comparing the levels of life, the life form in front of them was of the same nature as the Lord.
"What would you like to drink?" Li Ming said as he walked to the wine cabinet next to him. "Spicy or mild, or something else?"
"No, thank you, sir." Charles shook his head and introduced himself first. "You can call me Charles. This is Boris, and this is Gad."
He pointed left and right, and the three of them crossed their arms at the same time. Then he pointed his left fingertips from his eyebrows to the north, and drew the trajectory of a waning moon with his right little finger. He bent slightly, revealing a strange brain structure.
"You don't have to be so polite." Li Ming raised his eyebrows. This was an ancient etiquette from the Titan era, an attitude that expressed supreme respect to the superiors.
Immediately, he stretched out his right hand and waved it in front of him. This was the Titans' response.
Charles' eyes flickered slightly. The fact that the other party could respond to such an unpopular courtesy meant that he had studied the Titan Chronicles carefully.
Only then did Charles and his men sit down. Li Ming also sat down in front of them and said gently, "This journey, everyone, is quite a journey."
While waiting for a few people, he had already checked the jump information of the other party's spacecraft. The initial record was at an extremely remote star gate node in the Sea of Stars.
"I've come here with a mission, no matter how far it is, I'll do it at all costs." Charles said solemnly.
"Oh." Li Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, "You can speak frankly."
"We are here because of the Eternal Abyss." Charles said frankly.
Yongyuan? Li Ming couldn't help but become interested. He raised his head slightly, motioning for the other party to continue.
"I've looked up your relevant information. You must have reached a very high level in the King's Trial. You should also have carefully read the Titan Chronicles and have a basic understanding of the Eternal Abyss."
Perhaps fearing Li Ming wouldn't believe him, Charles emphasized, "However, what we are about to tell you is information not found in the chronicles. It was at the end of the war, when the entire tribe had fallen apart. The overlords, on their deathbeds, personally relayed this information to their ancestors, which was then compiled and passed down to this day."
Li Ming's interest couldn't help but increase, and he sat up straight to show his seriousness.
After emphasizing this, Charles didn't continue to keep Li Ming in suspense. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "First, let's talk about Eternal Abyss's existence. Are you wondering why the King of the End suddenly appeared and attacked you? Eternal Abyss hasn't even entered its active phase yet."
No, I am not confused, Li Ming shook his head in his heart.
Charles continued, "You must have seen some descriptions in the Titan Chronicles that suggest that the Eternal Abyss possesses consciousness, and is not just a chaotic environment."
"Not bad." Li Ming nodded.
Charles said solemnly, "In fact, at the end of the war, the Overlords had already verified that Yongyuan did have self-awareness, and it was extremely complete, even directly comparable to a living being."
Li Ming frowned slightly. You guys with water-drop heads don’t need to tell me. He has already talked to me.
He definitely wouldn't tell these guys about this. He just had a deadpan expression and asked, "You've come all the way here, and this is what you want to tell me?"
Seeing that Li Ming was not surprised, Charles's expression changed slightly. He looked at the other two and then said, "It seems that you know more than we thought."
Charles spoke in detail, "Then you should know that before this era of evolution, before the era of evolution of the Titans, there were many other eras of evolution."
"However, they were all swallowed by the Eternal Abyss. On the one hand, it did this because of the laws of the universe, and on the other hand, it also had its own purpose."
Yong Yuan's purpose? Li Ming couldn't help but become more solemn.
"It's going to subvert the universe." Charles spat out a few words.
"Subvert the universe?" Li Ming frowned slightly.
"That's a bit vague," Charles explained. "The Eternal Abyss is essentially the universe's emergency management mechanism. Once certain factors in the universe reach a threshold, the Eternal Abyss will be triggered."
"This mechanism is very common. Whether it's in dimensional space or on planets in the main universe, or even in living organisms, similar mechanisms exist."
"But the fatal thing is that this mechanism has developed self-awareness. It is no longer satisfied with simply appearing when it is needed. It wants to completely take over the universe."
"This phenomenon has been going on for a long time. Yongyuan has already devoured a lot of cosmic power in the past evolutionary eras."
"However, although the universe lacks self-awareness, it does have instincts. When Yongyuan is not allowed to appear, it still suppresses him tightly."
Li Ming frowned. This information did not surprise him too much. As for Yong Yuan's purpose, he did not care. Anyway, he had become the primary target.
So, he took the initiative and asked for the information he wanted to know, "So, what exactly is the factor that affects Yongyuan's activity level? The number of Ultimate Lifeforms?"
The expressions of Charles and the other two changed, and Li Ming seemed to disagree with what they said.
Self-awareness, devouring the universe, God knows how shocked the masters were when they knew this.
"Don't you believe what we say?" Charles hesitated.
Li Ming was a little displeased. Seeing these people chattering and wanting to open their legs but unwilling to welcome him, he simply said:
"Let me be frank with you. I don't care what Yongyuan's purpose is. His first goal right now is definitely to kill me. Don't ask why. Anyway, his first goal is to kill me."
"That's why Tanus came here. So, no matter what earth-shattering purpose he has, it must come second to me."
"So, if you know anything, tell me now. I'm getting a little impatient."
