This is not mechanical ascension.

He exhaled, rubbed his hands, and there was a video link, which was quite powerful.

It would be interesting to fight against such an old fox.

He raised his hand, and the surroundings suddenly darkened. He changed the appearance and Qinglong came online.

The screen flashed, and the majestic face of Prince Costart appeared.

"Your Excellency Qinglong—" Costat said very politely, "This is the first time we have met. We have known each other for a long time."

Li Ming was noncommittal, "His Royal Highness the Prince holds a high position. Perhaps at a certain banquet, I paid my respects to you below."

Costat's eyes moved slightly, but he just smiled and said: "Your Majesty Qinglong, you are so polite. If we have really met, I will remember it deeply."

The two of them hesitated for a while, but no one got any useful information.

Kostat stated the purpose, "I am contacting you this time mainly to thank you for saving Abel's life when the students were in the most critical moment."

He solemnly said: "I will keep this kindness in my heart."

Old guy, Li Ming snorted secretly. On the surface, he was saying that Qinglong saved Abel, but in fact, he was reminding him that he also saved Li Ming.

Li Ming said with emotion: "Your Excellency has already paid it back, hasn't it? In front of everyone, you are still willing to stop Prince Ryan, which is touching."

Costat smiled: "I already promised you at that time, and I will naturally fulfill my promise. Besides, even if I don't stop you, I believe that with your ability, Li Ming's life will not be in danger."

Li Ming's eyes flickered. At that moment, Ryan was so close in front of him. For X-level people, it was only a thought.

Saying it can be guaranteed sounds a bit harsh.

He said he couldn't, which naturally made him weaker, and gave him a vague feeling of being owed a favor.

"The divine craftsman is just a divine craftsman, and it is impossible to reverse time and space." Li Ming said helplessly.

Costat chuckled lightly, and when he was about to speak, he heard Qinglong continue:

"So during this time, I have been thinking of ways to repay your kindness."

"I still have some contacts in the Holy Revolutionary Army, and I got a few videos some time ago."

Costate's face tightened slightly, and the next moment he received the document from Qinglong. As soon as he opened it, his pupils suddenly shrank.

The video shows the seriously injured Diaz, who is wailing: "The royal family, it is the royal family who betrayed me.

What on earth do they want to do! "

The first suspect in attacking Diaz was the Holy Revolutionary Army, who made him disappear on the way to ambush the opponent.

Costat frowned slightly, not sure whether the video was real or fake. The video might be fake, and the Diaz in the video might be someone else pretending to be him.

But he fell silent when he saw the first few videos, which were the battle scenes from the beginning, in which Diaz clearly showed his liberated form.

The liberated form of S-class life forms can already be regarded as a unique symbol. With those battleships, as long as it is confirmed that this video is not a composite, it can be basically confirmed to be real.

The method to determine whether the video was synthesized was simple, and he believed that Qinglong would not fool him in this way.

Thinking of this, his face turned ugly. The empire finally gathered some strength. If this video was leaked, that madman Ryan would definitely not give up.

Unnecessary waves will arise internally.

"This video is of great value." Costart said in a serious tone, "I hope it will not fall into the hands of others."

"Of course." Li Ming smiled, "I did everything possible to find this just to repay your kindness."

Costart was silent, and the first confrontation focused on Li Ming's life-saving grace. It was not a failure, but it was not a success either.

As for who killed Diaz, Qinglong or the Holy Revolutionary Army, it didn't matter to him.

His expression calmed down, knowing that he could not take any advantage, so he simply went straight to the final topic, "Your Excellency Qinglong, there is a more important reason for contacting you this time."

"Oh." Li Ming responded with a listening expression.

Costat explained: "Today, the interstellar situation is turbulent and undercurrents are surging. As the Empire is an important civilization in the interstellar world, in order to maintain interstellar peace, we are preparing to build a peacekeeping organization under the Interstellar Alliance. The main invitations are those with no prestige and strength. Common life forms join in.”

"It is best to solve many problems for the interstellar world in a non-war form."

This is the empire's response, to get people on board first?

Or in the name of the Star Alliance, how did they convince the Federation and the Star Cluster Republican Alliance? Li Ming was confused.

"We call this organization the Alliance of Higher Life Forms. Are you interested in being the leader?

"Costat then revealed the real purpose.

"Leader?" Li Ming was surprised and sneered secretly. He had a good idea.

The symbolic significance of these organizations is greater than the actual significance. Moreover, they were created by the empire in response to the current situation. It is unknown what changes will be made in the future, but the leaders will definitely bear the brunt.

He has no interest in being a target, and is even somewhat resistant to joining.

But when I thought about it again, I felt something was wrong.

There is still no joint organization of higher life forms in the interstellar world. The Mechanics Association is already the largest unofficial joint organization.

The union of higher life forms has always been a trend that major interstellar civilizations have resisted.

There have been many people in history who wanted to take the lead, but this kind of organization is too threatening. The leader of any small civilization can see the hidden dangers, let alone these top interstellar civilizations.

This peace organization vaguely has a similar prototype.

The empire's plans are not small.

Li Ming tried to think from a macro perspective, not just from this one thing. He remembered something Abel had told him.

In order to deal with the withdrawal of the Interstellar Mechanic Association, the Empire has drafted the prototype of the Royal Mechanic Association and is ready to directly take the resources left by the Mechanic Association.

He remembered a sentence, crisis is also an opportunity, really let the Empire carry it, spray--

Although there is some suspicion of over-speculation, but facing the Empire, no matter how over-speculation is not excessive.

Let's leave a line of mouth. Li Ming's words came to his lips, and he turned again, "I'm used to being idle and don't have the ability to lead others. Let's do this, just leave me a position."

Costat's face was calm, and Li Ming's reaction was within his expectations.

"However, I'm a little busy recently and may not be able to cooperate with the publicity, so there is no need to announce my joining for the time being." Li Ming added.

On the one hand, he thought of the Empire as powerful, and on the other hand, he also considered that the other party was suspected of pulling the flag, for example, in fact, there is no member now.

Costat's face darkened, just afraid that they would get something for nothing, not giving any cracks, which was really thief.

"Your Excellency is overthinking." Costat said, but did not reject Qinglong's words.

After the two of them finished their game, they were a little bored. Costat chatted for a while and ended the communication.

Li Ming thought about it and contacted Abel again. He didn't receive a reply until the afternoon.

From him, Li Mingran learned that the Empire did not convince the Federation and the Star Cluster Republic Alliance at all, but was ready to act first and then report.

"The Empire is preparing to release the high-level life form alliance, and there have always been many powerful life forms that intend to organize this alliance." Abel's voice was solemn, "Several overlords of the chaotic star gap will definitely join.

"Aren't you afraid of playing too hard? "Li Ming was very surprised, and he understood the real intention of the Empire.

The Empire needs help, but now everyone wants to step on it. Unless they cut their own flesh, they will not be able to help them.

No one wants to cut their own flesh, so the Empire simply plays a big game, pulls down all civilizations, and unlocks the killer weapon of the higher life form organization.

At that time, the multi-level life forms will be united to announce to the interstellar. Even if the Federation and the Star Cluster are unwilling, they will face the situation of the Empire and the higher life form organization.

The Empire is already full of lice, and it doesn't mind being stepped on a few more times. It doesn't know how happy it is to have a lot of help out of thin air.

Otherwise, they will be forced to admit this matter, and the organizer is the Empire. They must take the initiative in advance and still have strong help.

After understanding the context, Li Ming couldn't help but burst into amazement, and the person who proposed this plan was the Glory Saint Emperor-Adam.

Li Ming praised, it was really bold.

If this killer weapon is released, if you don't pay attention, it will grow into a behemoth that is out of the control of the three major civilizations, and it is many times more threatening than the Mechanic Association.

And he was keenly aware that the Empire's voice was gradually being recovered. This glorious Saint Emperor seemed to have been dominating the overall situation since the crisis.

After the communication ended, Li Ming had been deducing the direction of things, and finally had to give up.

Whether it was the Empire or the Pioneers, he did not stand on either side. In this upcoming cosmic change,

how to get enough benefits and fill the Qinglong that was blown out is what he needs to consider.

This organization can't be established in one or two months, and there are many things that need to be coordinated, which is very troublesome.

Another day later, the prophet of the Sisters of the Order contacted Qinglong. The prophet's attitude became very humble,

and his tone was soft: "Mr. Qinglong, I haven't congratulated you on your fame in the galaxy yet."

"It's not a good reputation. I don't know how many people suspect that I am secretly brewing conspiracies. "Li Ming said simply.

The prophet was silent, her eyes flickering, and the Virgin Mary stood behind her. The two thought for a long time before deciding to contact Qinglong. They were now very resistant to contacting Qinglong. When they originally thought that Qinglong was a star-casting mechanic, they didn't mind fighting with him.

But now they regret it very much, and they easily took the bait given by this fox.

Before she could speak, she heard Qinglong take the initiative to say: "We are all old friends, I won't talk nonsense, this time I have a deal with you to discuss in detail."

"Listen to what deal, but no matter what he says, don't agree. "The Virgin Mary's voice was cold, but it only reached the ears of the prophet.

They were not afraid of Qinglong, but they didn't want to be entangled by such a guy in the dark. No one knew the benefits of hiding in the dark better than them, and now there was a person who was more mysterious than them.

"Transaction?" The prophet's voice was a little puzzled.

"It's like this, I stole some things from the empire, and I thought you should need it. "Li Ming said leisurely.

"Oh? What is it? "The prophet frowned slightly, while the Virgin Mary had no expression on her face. They first aroused curiosity and then offered a price. They had used this method too much.

"The God of Forging Hammer is looking for clues and tracks of the Star of Eternal Silence in the deep dimensional world, as well as the anchoring program of the Holy Castle of Terrax."

The prophet was stunned for a moment, his face changed drastically, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at the Virgin Mary.

The Virgin Mary's face was even uglier, and she gritted her teeth: "He shouldn't be allowed to speak."

The reason why this method is used too much is because it is really useful.

She took a deep breath. Could Qinglong throw out such precious information for no reason? Who knows what pit is hidden behind this.

But can she refuse?

Knowing that there is a problem, she can only close her eyes and bite it.

The prophet already understood what the Virgin meant and felt very helpless, "Are your data sure?"

"I can give some verification first. I believe that the Marist Church is definitely honest." Li Ming said frankly.

"What do you want?" asked the prophet.

"Ten stones of Terrax," Li Ming said loudly.

"This -" the prophet immediately refused, and even went further: "Your Excellency, since you have contacted us, please sell this kind of replicable information to more than just us. This price is too expensive."

The Holy Mother Church is not a fool, but the trouble lies here. Do you think everyone has you?

"Forget it, let's get three ether crystals for a fixed price. There's been a bit of shortage recently." Li Ming was too lazy to chat and simply quoted the price directly.

The prophet was silent, looked at the Holy Mother and nodded, and then said: "No problem, where to send it?"

"Mechanical Royal Court."

The transaction was completed happily, and Li Ming gave them some information for verification.

Then, news came from Estelle. He contacted Dius, and after some push and pull, the price was finally set at three Stones of Terrax. The Federation was still a little richer.

However, when he contacted the Black Hole Palace again, he learned unexpected news.

"Sorry, Your Excellency Qinglong, we already have the relevant information and we don't need it for the time being." Julius, the star-casting mechanic in charge of docking, apologized.

Moving so fast? Has someone resold it?

Li Ming muttered, No, I haven't given out the real information yet.

Is it an empire?

Li Ming contacted the so-called United Organization of Higher Life Forms and speculated that the empire might use this as a bargaining chip.

Recruiting powerful X-level life forms.

Some people may be attracted to this organization, but there are also some people who don't care much and need to use other means.

Li Ming shook his head, muttered a few words, and temporarily stopped selling.

With the current matter almost done, Li Ming was ready to retreat into seclusion for a while.

While the aftermath of the central world was still lingering, the Mechanical Royal Court started recruiting from the outside. Because of the reputation of the divine craftsman, it did attract a lot of people, and even some A-level life forms came here with the intention of joining the magic craftsman.

But Ulrich declined all of them, and then introduced more details, only management talents were needed, and emphasized that this was just Li Ming's small business and had nothing to do with the magic craftsman.

The guys who came to see the excitement left one after another, and the recruitment gradually got on track.

Although the size of the Mechanical Royal Court is still not large, its popularity is not low, and it is still expanding at a high speed with the benefit of its reputation as a master craftsman.

And this is just the outline of the aftermath in the central world. The bigger waves are still dominated by the empire, which finally began to take tough actions, frequently mobilizing the army, meeting with leaders of civilizations and organizations, to deal with all kinds of troubles.

And Li Ming's external sales process has accelerated the speed of undercurrents. Both visible and invisible forces are acting to get a piece of it.

Nothing is achieved overnight, and time is an important catalyst. In such a turbulent situation, half a year has gone by in a blink of an eye.
