This is not mechanical ascension.

He adjusted Qinglong's mentality and chose to answer the call.

"Your Excellency Qinglong." Blackbeard was very polite. When facing Qinglong, he always felt a sense of panic, as if he was facing a nemesis, and felt that he was being played around by him.

From the Corona Borealis Ascendant Ruins incident, Qinglong had been testing step by step, weaving a big net, and letting him fall into it invisibly.

In the central world, he has become the backbone, exchanging various interests to force the pioneers to agree to his entry into the council.

And now, it is suspected that he has already led some major plans, entered the game, and finally became the chess player.

Whenever Blackbeard thought about it, he could feel a chill and fear.

"How is the investigation going?" Li Ming got straight to the point.

Blackbeard's voice was a little cautious, "I did find some clues in the Corona Borealis ring. A group of Prince Ryan's people are secretly operating. The Itlan civilization seems to be cooperating with them, and the personnel are frequently transferred."

"However, the time is too short. I am still investigating what they are doing."

"They are transporting star-destroying weapons to certain planets." Li Mingyan coughed briefly.

"Star-destroying weapons?" Blackbeard was shocked, but did not speak.

In fact, he also had some guesses in his heart, because he found some other clues, and with the attention of the pioneers, he had guessed that the purpose of this group of people was not simple.

'What is Ryan going to do? "Blackbeard couldn't help asking. In order to let him investigate impartially and objectively, the pioneers did not tell him Qinglong's words to avoid the investigation results being mixed with subjective emotions.

But Li Ming didn't have so many scruples, and said, "He is going to slaughter the entire Corona Borealis ring."

"What!?" Blackbeard was completely shocked and blurted out, "How dare he! ? "

Li Ming shook his head, his eyes flickering, "Is this all you have investigated? What is the identity of the people sent by Ryan? What is their strength?"

Blackbeard was not at peace. The star ring-level interstellar massacre had almost never happened, even before the establishment of the Interstellar Alliance.

Not to mention the current interstellar environment dominated by peace, but then, his mind became active. If this matter is confirmed, the blow to the empire will be no less than a knife cut on the aorta.

Thinking in his heart, he did not forget to answer Qinglong's question, "Among the people sent, there are two S-level life forms, Thor - the sub-elf, Garrett - the Seo stoneman, they are all S-level life forms with a development progress of more than 60%, and they are the backbone of Sean. "

After a pause, he said with lingering fear: "There is also a powerful star beast, the Star Devouring Prison Dragon."

Didn't investigate the existence of Levenback?

Li Ming's heart moved slightly, but he suddenly reacted, his pupils condensed slightly, and made his voice calm again: "Star Devouring Prison Dragon?"

"Yeah. "Blackbeard had no doubts and explained, "There have always been rumors that Prince Ryan keeps a terrible star beast, but it has never been seen."

"When I was tracking them a few days ago, I used super quantum observation ability to find that I was almost discovered."

"I didn't expect it to be the Star Devouring Prison Dragon, a variant of the Star Devouring Underworld Dragon raised by the Imperial Fist. It is extremely rare and its strength is comparable to that of an S-level life form with a 100% development progress."

Blackbeard was still in shock, "I was still confused at the time. What big thing could make Prince Ryan pay so much attention? I didn't expect it--"

Star Devouring Prison Dragon-Li Ming had already stood up and walked back and forth in the room. Of course, he knew this name and had noticed it when selecting the target star beast.

But he didn't even take this thing as a target because it was too rare and a variant.

Variants are the result of benign gene mutations of star beasts. There are more types of results. Only when the strength is greatly enhanced can it be called a variant.

His target is the Star Devouring Underworld Dragon This is a star beast that is similar to an S-class life form with 90% development progress.

As a variant, the Star Devouring Prison Dragon is even more powerful. It has almost evolved to the limit of the S-class star beast. It is almost impossible to find the Star Devouring Dark Dragon, let alone the Star Devouring Prison Dragon.

Unexpectedly, unexpectedly.

It is really easy to get it. Li Ming has the urge to laugh. He suppressed the throbbing in his heart and calmed himself down.

Seeing that Qinglong was silent, Blackbeard tentatively said: "Such a big thing, should we hold a pioneer meeting to discuss how to maximize the benefits."

Li Ming came back to his senses and said lightly: "Well, you should talk to the navigator and the blood-fallen first and see what they say."

Blackbeard looked embarrassed. He had sent a copy of the investigation materials to each of the two people, but they had not responded to him yet.

But he couldn't say it, otherwise it would seem too disrespectful, so he had to respond, "I understand. "

After finishing the communication with the other party, Li Ming slowly exhaled.

The sudden appearance of the Star Devouring Prison Dragon disrupted his original plan, but he was not angry, but very excited.

Simplicity is the most perfect S-level gene seed modulation material.

"My current goal must be to get this prison dragon as soon as possible, but the pioneer and I have different goals, so there is a disagreement." Li Ming speculated.

Not long after, Blackbeard sent him another message, inviting him to enter the Iron Throne Hall.

Since Li Ming has always kept the ring in the control space, he cannot sense other people's summons, and usually Blackbeard sends messages to him.

Entering the Iron Throne Hall, the Navigator and the Bloodfallen are already in place, as well as Blackbeard and several other shadows. Not many people were summoned this time, just a small-scale discussion.

"Comprehensive information investigation from various aspects, it can be basically confirmed that Ryan has indeed made big moves in the Etlan civilization and invested considerable efforts. If nothing else, what Lord Qinglong said should be true." Pilot The reporter spoke and mused: "Prince Ryan is really ready to sacrifice the entire Corona Borealis star ring with blood."

The atmosphere in the field was silent, and under the shadows, it was difficult to see their respective reactions.

The navigator continued: "So, we can already start discussing how we should deal with this matter."

"There are still a few key issues that remain unresolved." The Bloodfaller added: "Why did he do this? And what method is he going to use to complete it?"

Blackbeard said, "We haven't investigated yet. They are using warriors secretly trained by Etlan. We can't get in."

"The information currently known is basically from my personal investigation."

"Does Your Excellency Qinglong have anything to add?" The Bloodfallen asked. Blackbeard was also quite curious. Qinglong raised this matter from the beginning. There should be deeper information, right?

"I only know that they are using something similar to biotechnology, which can kill the entire planet's life forms in a short period of time." Li Ming said simply, without revealing the existence of Levin Baker.

He felt that the news was too important to be leaked in vain.

Biotech? Everyone has different thoughts.

After a pause, he added: "As for its specific function, I'm not sure."

The Navigator was noncommittal and turned to Blackbeard: "Continue to investigate this matter. If necessary, we can arrest a few core members of Etlan."

"Understood." Blackbeard agreed. In fact, he had already caught him, but he didn't know it. Only a few people knew about it.

The leader said solemnly: "The name of the plan is tentatively named "Hunter King". We have to consider how to cause the greatest damage to the empire." However, we can set the highest goal first and force the empire to remove Ryan's position as prince. "

There are currently nine princes in the empire, but five of them have almost disappeared. It is speculated that they have reached the end of their lifespan.

There are only four active princes. If you force the empire to remove this position, it will be no less than a slap in the face.

But this is only the highest goal, and it is difficult to achieve. Not only is it forced by external public opinion, but it is also subject to internal rebellion, and it requires high-level cooperation.

After saying that, the navigator asked: "Your Excellency Qinglong, what do you think?"

Li Ming responded calmly, "I have no objection."

Blackbeard was muttering in his mind, and glanced at Qinglong. Sure enough, the leader was still in charge.

If the "Hunting King" plan is really completed by Qinglong, wouldn't his prestige among the pioneers increase?

Qinglong doesn’t resist? After all, he initiated this incident.

Blackbeard muttered and couldn't help but speak:

"When to convene the conference? Such a major event requires the cooperation of all parties."

"This plan is far more traumatic than our previous plans. We will inform others at the end of the process," the leader said.

Li Ming, who was silent, his eyes darkened, these guys are so wolfish.

Blackbeard was puzzled, "If I don't notify others, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop it on my own -"

Halfway through speaking, he suddenly paused, and wisps of chill came out.

He realized the most contradictory aspect of the entire plan, which was how to determine the authenticity of the blood sacrifice.

If they prevented the blood sacrifice from happening in advance, it would be useless no matter how much conclusive evidence they produced. The empire can ignore it.

Because this thing didn't happen, and if it didn't happen, no one would pay attention.

The empire didn't even need to speak, but there were countless people from the spiritual empire who helped them defend themselves in terms of public opinion.

Therefore, if you want to achieve the highest goal set, you must let this happen. Only when the tragic news sweeps across the entire galaxy will it attract attention.

Blackbeard is not a merciful person, but after realizing this, he couldn't help but feel chills in his heart, what a star-level massacre!

"If we don't stop him, it's hard to say what the final result will be if Ryan is allowed to achieve his goal." Li Ming said suddenly.

"It's not that we don't stop it." The Bloodfallen explained: "We just need to prevent him from being 100% successful. The blood sacrifice can be one-tenth or one-fifth. There must be solid facts to support our statement and achieve Target."

The navigator added: "Of course, if you want to control this perfectly, you must know their specific action plan and process. This depends on Blackbeard."

His tone was calm: "Your Excellency Qinglong, please be patient."

Realizing that he could no longer change his decision, Li Ming stopped talking.

Blackbeard sighed inwardly, thinking that Qinglong had been accepted by the Navigator and the others, but he still seemed to be on alert.

Consciousness returned and everything in front of him gradually became clear. Li Ming's eyes narrowed.

"Don't be impatient for a moment?"

Is this consistent with his thinking? His main goal now is to cause trauma to the empire?

Stop making trouble, it will be of no use to him.

The strength he needs now, soft strength, hard strength, the strength to fight against all obstacles.

Therefore, he wants to become an S-class life form. The Star-Swallowing Prison Dragon is right in front of him and he will cooperate with the Pioneer's plan. He doesn't know how long he will have to wait.

When things happen again, everything will be hard to predict.

Based on his current development progress, if he takes down the Star-Swallowing Prison Dragon and throws it to Yeyue Biological Company, according to the modulation speed, he should be able to use it smoothly when his development progress reaches 100% without waiting.

He originally wanted to borrow the power of the Pioneer. The energy level of the Devouring Star Dragon is not to be underestimated. It is estimated that it has an energy level of 3 or 4X. After all, it is a top mutant star beast.

And Levenbeck, this mysterious guy, he may not be able to stabilize it by himself.

But now that the Pioneer has made up his mind to wait, he has to change his original plan.

"If I control the Infinite Hammer now, the chance of success should be much higher." Li Ming pondered, feeling a little painful.

Two billion metal energies are not a small number for him now.

"When taking action, it must be foolproof." Li Ming estimated.

After a while, Ford knocked on his door and stuck his head out, "You looking for me?"

After Ford came in, Li Ming said, "Contact Asmara and share the location of Ryan's men in real time in the next period of time, especially the location of that weirdo."

"Could it be that-" Ford's eyes were slightly condensed, a little excited, "I understand."

"There is one more thing, do you have precious metal materials in stock in the Yitlan civilization?" Li Ming asked naturally.

"Metal materials?" Ford seemed to have activated some kind of memory, his eyes were a little trance, he remembered that Li Ming liked to collect metal materials before.

Later, the Azure Dragon emerged from the water, and many people suddenly realized that it was this big guy behind it.

"Hmm," Ford frowned, "We don't have much stock of precious metal materials. Ordinary metal materials are used to make warships and weapons."

It is not only metal materials that can be used to make more advanced weapons, and they will not reproduce automatically after purchase. Generally, when there is a demand, high-level metal materials will be purchased in fixed quantities.

"But," Ford changed his tone, "It's wartime now, Asmara has a stronger voice, maybe a small part of the funds can be diverted for special purchases."

"How much do you need?" He was very proactive.

"Oh?" Li Ming became interested, "How long will it take for 100 billion star coins?"

"100 billion?" Ford's mouth twitched, his face was submissive, and he didn't dare to speak.

"What about 50 billion?" Li Ming also knew that he was talking too much, after all, Itlan was not Asmara's one-man show.

Fred swallowed his saliva: "This amount of funds is not small, you need to forge the bill first, and then submit it to the Finance Department for approval. It may be rejected at the first time, and then Asmara will make a strong request again. After a few rounds of arguing, those guys will agree."

"After approval, you need to go to the Interstellar Bank for exchange rate verification, and then exchange it into star coins. If you buy it again, it will take at least three months and at most half a year."

Advanced civilizations basically have their own currencies, mainly because their own currencies are not as strong as star coins.

But at the critical moment, at least they can secretly print more, so there will be no problem with domestic circulation, and it will not be easy to be harvested by more advanced civilizations.
