This is not mechanical ascension.

“It’s better to let go of the shopkeeper—”

Li Ming had already turned around and returned to the room, and the silver metal door behind him locked with a sound.

Talent is scarce these days, and even fewer are trustworthy.

Ulrich may not have much loyalty, but he is self-aware and extremely ambitious. The royal court is full of mechanical subordinates, so he is not afraid of making mistakes.

After all the twists and turns, he finally calmed down a little, opened the control system, and when he was ready to upgrade [Mechanical Warrior], he threw in an X-level gene source.

【Mechanical Warrior】→【Ultimate Warrior】

[Ultimate Warrior: The explorer of the road of evolution, possessing the abilities of [Key to Evolution], [Weapon Liberation], and [Ultimate Road]. 】

Li Ming's expression was slightly shaken. There were no changes in other abilities, except for the addition of a new ability.

[The ultimate path: Consuming X-level genetic essence can repair genetic defects. 】

Repair a genetic defect. Do I still have a genetic defect?

Li Ming was stunned for a moment, and then fell into deep thought. Maybe it's not me, but all genetic evolutions have it.

If you want to become the ultimate evolutionary body, you may not be able to succeed by simply finding a more powerful life form and then turning it into gene seeds.

The orthodox ultimate path should be to constantly repair genetic defects, rather than constantly broadening the path of evolution.

Did I find the biggest secret of genetic evolution?

Li Ming suddenly realized that this kind of news was probably top secret, and most of the X-level life forms had gone astray.

He then thought of the reminder from the Holy Elephant that the path of genetic evolution would stop when a life form reaches level X. Did the hammersmith discover a similar situation?

The amount of information brought by the career promotion made him think for a long time before he came back to his senses. Anyway, no matter what happened, he had the relevant means, and the career would never cheat him.

On second thought, he thought about the Holy Castle trial again, and he was a little geared up.

The lower level transcendental trial is equivalent to an X-level life form with 30% development progress.

According to the previous stage analysis, each is at least 60X.

"I'm afraid I can't beat him-" He secretly sighed.

"X-level weapons can recover hundreds of millions of metal energy. After all, they are not better than nothing." Li Ming took a deep breath and was idle.

However, just when he was about to communicate with the Holy Castle, one of the smart terminals in the row beside him suddenly vibrated, and the page was dark, which was the background of the black hole network.

"Qinglong's number?" Li Ming glanced at it, picked it up and saw that the person who contacted him was Blackbeard.

"Pioneer--" He immediately had a guess in his mind. After answering, Blackbeard did not speak for the first time, and Li Ming was also silent.

It took about two or three seconds before a voice came, "Your Excellency Qinglong, a meeting has been held in the Iron Throne Hall. If you have time, please get online as soon as possible."

"Yes, I understand." Li Ming's reaction was calm. He had already predicted it. When he was about to end the communication, Blackbeard stopped him: "Wait-"

"Huh?" Li Ming raised his brows slightly, and his heart moved slightly, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

Blackbeard seemed to be hesitant. On the dark screen, the line never wavered. Li Ming waited patiently for five or six seconds before some waves appeared.

"Your Excellency Qinglong, this meeting is held for you." His voice was slightly bitter.

"Aimed at me?" Li Ming was not surprised, but was a little surprised by Blackbeard's tip.

With the beginning, Blackbeard's next words became much smoother: "Yes, you teased the Navigator again and again. He is already very dissatisfied with you. I guess he held the meeting this time to expel you."

"Teasing him again and again?" Li Ming frowned, "When did I tease him?"

"Last time in the Corona Borealis Ring, you informed us that Ryan's actions might be more subtle and asked us to pay attention, but the navigator mistakenly thought that you were trying to compete for the right to speak -" Blackbeard explained helplessly.

Li Ming listened, and his frown gradually relaxed, and then became more and more weird. Can this be attributed to him?

Does this guy have delusions of being persecuted?

To be honest, he just wanted to hold off the Pioneer for a while.

At that time, he was only an A-level life form, and his first goal was to become an S-level life form. He had no intention of competing for the right to speak.

As a result, the leader kept sending troops to the Corona Borealis ring. Although Li Ming didn't know that there was such a thing.

But he knew that this decision of the Navigator did cause a lot of butterfly effects.

It was learned from Ford that the empire had sent people to intervene in the Corona Borealis ring, with the purpose of investigating where the active intelligence personnel came from.

"Needless to say, he seems to be even more angry this time -" Blackbeard said cautiously: "I just learned that the pioneers' colleagues in the Sea of ​​Stars spent a lot of effort to collect Evidence of Ryan Slayer.”

"In the end, it was all in vain."

"Many people are dissatisfied with you because of this, so you have to deal with it carefully." Blackbeard reminded him. He was also helpless. It was he who introduced Qinglong, and now many people are dissatisfied with him.

The two of them were tied together, so they informed him in advance. For fear that Qinglong would not know the consequences, he added:

"This expulsion system has been in place since the founding of the Pioneers, but no one has ever been expelled because betrayers would be purged."

"Maybe it's because your strength is too high and you are erratic, so the leader uses this method of expulsion. Once you are expelled, you will be regarded as an enemy by all members of the organization.

"Considered as an enemy?" Li Ming frowned slightly, "The Pioneers have a voting system in name only."

"Yes, but many people are already dissatisfied with you." Blackbeard sighed.

"I understand. Thank you for informing me." Li Ming nodded and Blackbeard said "Yes". The two sides were silent for a few seconds before Blackbeard took the initiative to hang up.

"Pioneer..." Li Ming thought about it. Pioneer is a good organization, and he has relied on the other party's resources and strength on several occasions.

Even at this point, the size of the other party cannot be underestimated. "It seems that you have the capital to earn something like the right to speak now." Li Ming rubbed his chin and his eyes flashed slightly.

In the Iron Throne Hall, black mist surged on all the thrones, and the organization members were all present.

There was a low noise, as if they were communicating, but if you listened carefully, you couldn't hear anything.

The atmosphere was solemn, and everyone knew that something extraordinary might happen today.

At a certain moment, black mist surged over the only empty throne in the hall, crystal pillars rose on both sides, and the voice fell silent.

Qinglong has arrived.

"Good day, colleagues." Li Ming's attitude was very calm and he came up to say hello.

Almost no one responded, not even Blackbeard said anything.

The navigator sitting opposite immediately said, "Your Excellency Qinglong, everyone's time is precious."

"We spent more than half a year on the matter of Ryan's Star Massacre, and invested considerable efforts in the Corona Borealis Ring and the Sea of ​​Stars."

"But your Excellency reached a cooperation agreement with the Empire without saying a word. Your hard work and efforts were wasted, and the Empire was able to escape."

"Isn't this a little too much?"

The navigator took the lead in questioning, causing a low noise, and someone echoed, "Yes, Your Excellency Qinglong,

Since you are a member of the organization, why don't you discuss it with us before such a big thing happens? "

Li Ming's tone was calm: "I have tried to tell you that in the Corona Borealis star ring, some people seem to think that,

I'm just competing. "

The navigator's tone was stagnant. This matter was an unavoidable mistake, but he had already made an excuse, "Your Excellency Qinglong clearly knows more information, why didn't he reveal it to us."

"Who told you that I know better?" Li Ming asked.

"Only based on a few words from Costart?" He said solemnly: "What if I said, I don't know about this at all."

"Huh?" The navigator paused and suddenly felt dumbfounded. Is Li Ming preparing to deny it completely?

The navigator pressed the question: "You mean, you didn't contact the empire at all, and you don't know why Prince Costart was there?"

"That's right." Li Ming said calmly.

"Then you sent mechas to show up? Could it be that you are preparing to fight one against two?" the navigator said solemnly.

"You're right, I originally regarded Prince Costate as an imaginary enemy." Li Ming's voice was decisive: "I have already been prepared for a one-on-two fight."

This confident tone made everyone present feel shocked and confused.

"I didn't expect Prince Costart to do this." He continued: "Your Excellency, do you really believe what Costart said?"

You say yes, but I just don’t admit it. What can you do to me?

The navigator hesitated, then said angrily: "Do you think we are all fools? Last time he let your students go in public, and this time he is angry with you."

"Don't tell me, it's all coincidence."

"So it's about sowing discord. Look - doesn't it work?" Li Ming sighed, "Your Majesty the Navigator, the situation needs to be bigger. You have to look beyond this situation to see the problem."

"If I were a member of the empire, they would carefully hide me because they wanted to protect me. It is precisely because I am not that they want to sow discord and push me into the sun."

How do you feel, what Qinglong said makes sense?

Others had strange expressions. Without any evidence, it was just the public speaking that the public was right, and the mother-in-law saying that the mother-in-law was right.

The navigator only felt that his heart was rising. Qinglong was actually guiding him?

But he did not lose his composure. He just said coldly: "No matter how much you say, it's useless. The Bloodfallen can prove this."

prove? Prove my deal with Adam?

Li Ming looked at the seat next to him. The only people who knew about this were Adam and Costart. If the Bloodfallen really knew, he was either lying, or this guy was one of them.

"I can't prove it." The Bloodfallen's voice was calm. "I don't know that Qinglong has any transactions with the empire. Maybe there is, but I haven't come into contact with it. Maybe there is not."

The Navigator's heart was shocked, it was unbelievable - the Bloodfallen stabbed him in the back?

The Bloodfallen had said the same thing to him before, but he had already made an agreement with the other party to let the Bloodfallen identify Qinglong in order to take the overall situation into consideration.

That's why he had the confidence to hold a rally.

Um? Li Ming was a little surprised. Aren't these two guys wearing the same pair of pants? Why are they so different?

Everyone in the Pioneers was surprised. There seemed to be a problem among the core members?

They are not fools. Evidence or not, explanation or explanation, it is just a matter of the right to speak.

In the past, the Bloodfallen and the Navigator advanced and retreated together, but this time the Bloodfallen actually sided with the Azure Dragon.

Or maybe Qinglong instigated the Bloodfallen to rebel?

Awesome!

Blackbeard breathed a long sigh of relief. As expected of Qinglong, he had been prepared for it.

"You!" The navigator was speechless, filled with anger and nowhere to vent.

Li Ming was also silent and did not pursue the victory. The Bloodfallen's defection was a bit strange and he could not figure it out.

"Actually, this is not a bad thing." The Bloodfallen said, "The matter of the United Organization of Higher Life Forms was completely beyond our expectations."

"If we really follow the established plan and use Ryan as a handle to attack the empire, there will be no results in the end.

It may also become a stepping stone for the United Organization of Higher Life. "

He even said with a bit of flattery, "Let Qinglong be the beneficiary of exposing Ryan, which is better than others."

Li Ming remained silent, staring at the Bloodfallen. He really couldn't figure out what this guy wanted to do, was he to be killed?

The Navigator remained silent, the Bloodfallen turned against him, and the expulsion was bound to be impossible. He became a joke.

Qinglong's status has risen sharply. When did these two guys get together?

After the initial shock and anger, he began to think about this problem.

"Rather than dwell on the past, it is better to discuss the next plan. This alliance of advanced life forms is not to be underestimated. It is a foregone conclusion that it was formed by the empire itself." The Bloodfallen explained,

"All the current information is secret. Even I don't know. I only know that there are ten members. They are all powerful life forms that cannot be underestimated and have entered the ultimate path."

"Myself and my subordinates are both interstellar giants in strength."

Mentioning this organization, the atmosphere becomes even more silent. The other members are all S-class life forms, so naturally they will not be invited.

When they heard the news, they were all shocked.

Just the name alone is destined to be a giant.

There has been a lot of noise in the interstellar world. This is an invitation from the empire. To put it bluntly, this is what the empire sees.

He has no connection with other civilizations and is among the ten strongest people in the galaxy.

The word "strongest·" was put out there, and those who were not invited would naturally feel unhappy.

Even before the member list was announced, there was already a bit of chaos. Not to mention stabilizing the interstellar situation, it would be good if it didn't get aggravated.

The Bloodfallen said: "I know that some of you are friends with some big figures. If we have some inside information, it should be more convenient for our actions."

Many members started discussing, and after a long time, someone suddenly asked: "Aren't any of you invited?"

The Navigator and others were among the original core members of the veteran class. Their specific strength and identities were not known, but they all subconsciously acquiesced to being higher than them.

"Not yet. Those who can be invited are all interstellar giants." The Bloodfallen sighed and suddenly paused, "That's not right, except for Mr. Qinglong - we don't know if he has been invited."

Suddenly, under the black mist, a pair of eyes fell on the throne where Qinglong was.
