Chapter 621: Secret Means
Sheffield frowned, thinking a lot in a short period of time, but he was still puzzled: "They killed the World Tree with the help of the three sacred Titan artifacts. Now they only have the Void Anchor in their hands. How did they kill it?"
The news came extremely suddenly.
Li Ming's eyes flickered, and he was thinking about this matter in his heart.
The first possibility that came to his mind was that the three major civilizations had made a breakthrough in the dominant-level corpses.
Only then would it be possible to kill the forbidden life form again in the absence of the two Titan relics.
"The three major civilizations still cannot be underestimated." Sheffield said with a hint of emotion.
He was more surprised by the news than afraid of it.
Even if the three major civilizations still have the ability to kill forbidden life forms, they may not be able to do anything to Qinglong.
It’s not like Qinglong hasn’t killed before, although it seems he used other means, but killing is killing.
This news is more of a deterrent, not only to Qinglong, but also to others, proving that they can still hold on.
Li Ming remained noncommittal and wasn't too surprised. They had gotten the body for such a long time, it would be abnormal if they didn't have any research results.
He thought for a moment and said, "Sir, I'll contact the teacher to see if he has any latest instructions."
After a pause, he continued, "Can you wait for me to come back before continuing to mix it? I still want to continue learning from you."
"Well, go ahead. I'll wait for you." Sheffield nodded and watched Li Ming disappear at the end of the corridor. He couldn't help but sigh, "He never shows his emotions. He has 70% of his teacher's demeanor."
Monica looked at her father and said quietly, "I didn't know you were so good at flattering people."
Sheffield paused and said unhappily, "Why don't you think about how to take him down so that your father can spend his old age in peace."
Monica smiled helplessly.
…
Li Ming returned to the room, closed the door, opened the control page, and found the smart terminal of "Li Ming".
Open a software that has no registration information on the interstellar network. The page is simple and has only a few dialog boxes.
There is a dialog box with a red number that has reached double digits.
"Abel..." He was not surprised. Whenever something happened to this prince, he would contact him first.
After the Chaos Star Gap incident ended, they also communicated with each other.
However, at that time, a lot of information was already exposed, and there was nothing much to exchange between them.
He called back through the channel software, but no one answered.
Li Ming was not surprised and took a quick look at the interstellar network.
Then he was surprised to find that it was not as he had imagined, with people everywhere discussing how powerful the three civilizations were.
The most popular discussion was titled "Is Azure Dragon a forbidden life form?"
This surprised him so much that he clicked on it to take a look.
It was discovered that the instigator and the person with the strongest fighting power was the "Chief Dragon Blow".
As the first fanatical fan to appear, this guy's popularity also skyrocketed with the rise of Qinglong.
It can be said that as long as there are living beings who worship Azure Dragon, he will have a certain influence.
He gathered a large number of people, basically civilizations or forces that had been oppressed by the three major civilizations for many years, and together they were slowly reversing public opinion in the interstellar space.
This news, which was clearly about promoting the majesty of the three major civilizations, was forcibly diverted to Qinglong, and it deviated further and further.
"Forbidden life forms aren't a biological term. The claims of "undoubtedly powerful" and "no matter how many level X life forms there are, they can't do anything about it" are also applicable to Azure Dragon. Why can only creatures from the deep dimensional world be used?"
Chief Long Chui seized this point and fought fiercely with the supporters of the three major civilizations.
Li Ming watched with great interest. In fact, this chief dragon blower had been recruited by the Mechanical Royal Court a long time ago. Ulrich would naturally not allow anyone outside to cause trouble under the banner of Qinglong.
After being recruited, this guy's safety is greatly guaranteed and he won't die inexplicably.
After browsing for more than half an hour, Abel contacted him, and a virtual screen popped up. Abel sat upright with a magnificent background behind him.
"You finally have time to contact me." Abel's tone was filled with a hint of complaint.
Li Ming smiled and said, "Your Highness, where are you? Is this a wandering imperial ship?"
Abel's brows jumped and he shook his head, "Don't test me. Only my father is allowed to ride on the Wandering Emperor Ship."
"Okay." Li Ming shrugged, "If you can get the location of the Wandering Emperor Ship, I will give you a big gift."
"Haha..." Abel grinned, "I can't do that. It might still be in a secret base, or wandering somewhere in the universe."
"Your Highness's words are becoming more and more precise." Li Ming praised.
The two exchanged a few pleasantries with forced smiles.
Abel had made great progress in many areas, but he was still a little impatient. Perhaps he thought there was no need to chat with Li Ming, so he simply got to the point: "Has your teacher made any big moves recently?"
"Big moves?" Li Ming shook his head. "How can there be so many big moves?"
"I mean something like the path of mechanical evolution..." Abel said more directly, "Your Mechanics Association only discloses the metal material levels and specifications required to evolve to Level B."
"As for going higher up, it shouldn't just be metal. It will definitely require other special materials."
The prices of these things are bound to increase. As long as you stock up in advance or even monopolize the relevant market, you can make a lot of money afterwards.
Even he couldn't ignore the wealth.
"I can trade with you."
Li Ming kept smiling and said, "Your Highness is quite perceptive."
"But, what intelligence can Your Highness offer in exchange?" He asked deliberately, then pretended to be surprised. "Oh, contacting me at this time, are you asking for information about the three great civilizations attacking Istanbul?"
Abel's face turned grim for a moment. He hated the feeling of being seen through by Li Ming the most, but he shook his head and said, "No, I actually don't know how Istanbul was killed."
"Huh?" Li Ming was slightly surprised and looked Abel up and down. "You don't know?"
"That's right." Abel's face looked a little unnatural. "The relevant information is top secret. The people who took action are only at the X-level, and they are all pillars of the team. I can't get in touch with them."
"Then why are you contacting me so urgently?" Li Ming was puzzled.
Abel looked a little embarrassed. He actually thought that Qinglong would be eager to know the inside information and let Li Ming contact him. Even if he didn't know the inside story and only had some rumors, he could use this as an opportunity to ask for a high price.
As a result, after waiting for a whole day after the news came out, Li Ming still didn't contact him.
Later, he couldn't help it and contacted Li Ming again.
As a result, after this probing, he found that Li Ming was not in a hurry for the relevant information, and he didn't know if he was pretending.
"However, there are some rumors..." Abel changed the subject and said mysteriously, "Prince Costat mentioned it to me..."
He paused at this point. Li Ming understood immediately and grinned, "There's only half of the Holy Mother Church list left."
Abel nodded, then said, "It's said that the Ultimate Life Form...seems to have discovered a method that even he couldn't fathom...his expression was strange when he spoke of it, but he didn't reveal too much."
"The ultimate life form..." Li Ming was stunned, subconsciously not believing that the three major civilizations had the ultimate life form.
"Is it so vague?" He complained. "With just a few words, you're replacing half the list. Doesn't that seem appropriate?"
Abel touched his nose, knowing that these words were too general, but he was prepared.
No matter what happens, I have to get the remaining lists back today.
"Gene source..." He uttered four more words.
Li Ming was slightly startled, then he became interested, "Go on..."
"There's been a breakthrough at the Overmind Labs. They're using gene seeds as raw material, blending them with something extracted from corpses..."
Abel narrated slowly, and Li Ming listened with a blank expression, but seemed to be thinking about something in his heart.
"The gene essence actually manifests in this form, using the same gene seed to strengthen the gene seed within the living organism..."
“…Also, Lord Tandin and others have already begun preparing for the fusion. This is not like developing gene seeds which takes time to grind. This kind of fusion can be continued to the limit as long as the body can hold on.” Abel couldn’t help but emphasize.
"This is top secret information. If your teacher doesn't know about it, he'll probably be caught off guard. There should only be half of the list left."
This plan was already underway, and he believed that Qinglong would never be able to stop it, so he put it up for trade.
"Of course..." Li Ming nodded. "It has a source, evidence, and can withstand scrutiny. This is information worth trading."
He was also very happy and immediately gave him the remaining half of the list, and then said meaningfully, "Your Highness's status seems to have risen rapidly. He even knows such top-secret information."
The excitement on Abel's face immediately disappeared. He shook his head and said, "I just found out by chance."
After a slight hesitation, he added, "There's something I need to remind you of. I've gradually severed the links of everyone on this list. They're effectively dead. Even if someone reports them, there won't be any consequences."
Li Ming laughed, "Don't worry, Your Highness."
Then, he added with a hint of temptation, "If Your Highness learns of the method used to kill Istanbul, I will pay a suitable price."
Abel pursed his lips, but asked tentatively, "What other arrangements does your teacher have for the Holy Castle?"
After Qinglong sneaked into the star gate leading to the Holy Castle last time, it changed its location and no external spacecraft could get close.
It is still in a closed state and has added a series of self-destruction measures, so the situation like last time where we had to watch Qinglong escape will not happen again.
It had only been three months since the Chaos Star Gap incident ended.
The action over there is about to begin. Even if Qinglong goes straight to the coordinates of the Holy Castle after the battle, he will not be able to make it in time.
Abel asked this more as a test to see Li Ming's reaction.
"Prince Heckler, how do you plan to open the Holy Castle?" Li Ming asked back.
This cunning guy... Abel shook his head. "I don't know the details."
The two pretended to chat for a while before ending the communication.
"Tsk..." Li Ming pondered, rubbing his fingers, "Gene source..."
What he was most worried about was not guys like Tandin. Even if they used genetic essence to continuously strengthen themselves, there was a limit.
He had long known from the information about his profession - [Ultimate Warrior] that genetic essence was used to make up for defects.
He estimated that he should be able to raise all low-level gene seeds to the X level.
As for the X-level gene seed, it is probably impossible to further strengthen it, and even if it can be strengthened, the improvement will be minimal.
But the key point is that genetic source is a prerequisite for the ultimate life form.
At present, the three major civilizations are only away from the ultimate life form, probably developing the ultimate gene seed.
It may take a long time, or it may be quick.
Thinking of this, he opened the smart terminal and looked at the stargate construction team under Anduin, and found that they had already traveled one-third of the distance.
I estimate that we should be able to reach the set coordinates in another half a year.
"However, even if we use genetic material to strengthen Tandin and others, can we kill the forbidden life forms?" He expressed doubt.
The most troublesome thing about forbidden life forms is their almost endless energy.
This cannot be overcome simply by quantity and slight improvement in quality; it requires a power that is truly above this level.
The Titan relics can make up for it, but Tandin and others... he can't estimate it for sure, mainly because he doesn't know what level can be reached by strengthening all the bottom-level gene seeds.
There is really no precedent.
He thought again of the Ultimate Lifeform Abel had mentioned, and pondered, "However, since they have the means, they didn't hide it and catch me off guard at the Holy Castle, but instead used it as a deterrent to the outside world first."
"Does it mean that I will never be able to lay my hands on the Holy Castle? Or is it because of some other reason..."
Li Ming opened the control page and his vision began to blur.
The scene changed, and his consciousness had already descended into the mechanical body in the Holy Castle.
Sensing the movement of the mechanical body, the monitor who had been standing in front of the gate looked over but reacted very calmly.
"What's going on?" Li Ming asked familiarly. Some time ago, he often came here to determine the situation of the Holy Castle.
The Supervisor extended his hand, projecting a virtual image of the outside world.
The fleets of the three major civilizations were still a long distance away from the Holy Castle.
The most eye-catching thing is that above the entire fleet, there is a huge megastructure, which is 1.5 times larger than a regular star.
The entire structure is made of metal and has a hollow structure. The outer layer is a huge circular restraint structure with nested rings, which rotate in an interlaced manner. The electromagnetic field between the upper and lower layers almost forms a real storm.
At its core is a massive energy shaft that runs through the entire structure, within which a boiling golden slurry stretches out a spectrum of colors between the restraining rings.
The ring-shaped confinement structure is stacked with giant cooling fins powered by antimatter engines.
Only three major civilizations have the ability to build such a huge structure in just half a year.
