This is not mechanical ascension.

The figures on the screen were shaking, mixed with various noisy sounds, and Nicholas watched with a gloomy expression.

"With such a huge battle, could it be that some star-casting mechanic has arrived?"

"Two big mechanics from the Mechanics Association came out to greet them. They are definitely not ordinary people..."

"Who is this guy? He seems to be an interstellar human?"

The screen freezes, locks on one of the figures and then zooms in.

"Li Ming..." He spit out two words.

"Yes, it's him." Behind him, Albert nodded, "In the past month or so, we have discovered some traces one after another. The Twin Peaks node is one of the three most likely hubs for them to go. "

"Preliminary news came as early as a day ago, but I'm not sure whether it is these people."

"His identity has been determined so far, and there is an 80% chance that he is not a disguise. The people around him have also been found. He lives in the Yaoxing Hotel and seems to be welcomed by Austin."

After Qinglong left, they never gave up searching, and Albert was one of the main people responsible.

Although the speed is a bit behind, I can always find some clues intermittently.

Even without this video, their whereabouts can be determined in up to two days. As long as they do not completely break away from the interstellar society, they cannot really disappear.

"He acted openly and without any fear. He really didn't take us seriously at all." Nicholas' face was cold.

The quarrel between him and Satuguya's group was not over yet, and the fight between his men was in full swing, but he did not forget Qinglong.

In the incident of the core ruins of the Ascendant, Qinglong seemed to get nothing after all the hard work.

But he didn't believe that the other party had been dormant for so long just to show his face at the last moment.

Albert hesitated to speak, feeling very helpless, "The empire does not want Qinglong. The people in the Chaotic Star Gap are already lawless, so naturally they cannot be afraid of him."

Nicholas also understood and just snorted coldly, while Albert quickly said: "In addition, Qinglong's certification information can be found on the website of the Machinists Association - Casting Star Mechanic."

"So fast?" Nicholas' face became more and more ugly, "Not even reviewed?"

Albert didn't speak, and said with a wry smile: "The whereabouts of the master forging hammer - Hull is unknown. The remaining two masters are at odds with each other and seem to be splitting. The reputation of the Machinists Association has gradually declined in recent years. They all want to win over the star-casting mechanics."

Nicholas' cheek twitched and he said coldly: "Have you found any traces of Qinglong?"

"Not yet." Albert showed even more helplessness, "Qinglong seems to have disappeared without a trace, leaving Li Ming to handle various matters on his behalf."

"Without a trace?" Nicholas looked gloomy.

Albert added: "They got A-level gene seeds from Yeyue Biological Company."

"A-level gene seed?" Nicholas frowned, "Qinglong wants to fuse?"

Albert hesitated: "Not sure, it should be Qinglong. According to our information, Li Ming's development progress was only at 60% more than a month ago."

"It doesn't matter who it is, it's not important." Nicholas was impatient. What made Qinglong fearful was not his own strength.

Even becoming an A-level life form won't change anything.

"Also, Li Ming joined the Black Hole Hall." Albert added.

"It's only been one day, and they moved really fast." Nicholas sneered: "The Black Hole Palace is also a bunch of rabble, don't worry about it."

Albert pondered: "Then, almost at the same time, someone posted a reward in the Black Hole Palace, and he was a junior member."

Nicholas looked over, and Albert quickly mapped out a picture of a dark-looking stone.

"This is..." Nicholas's pupils suddenly shrank, "The Stone of Terrax!"

"Are you sure it's Li Ming?" he asked urgently,

"We can't be sure." Albert was helpless. "Although there is a 70% probability, we don't have the background information of the Black Hole Palace, so we can only speculate."

Nicholas' face was dark and uncertain, and Albert hesitated: "Is this thing very important?"

Nicholas glanced at him and said solemnly: "The value itself is not bad, but it reveals a lot of things."

"Qinglong, what on earth do you want to do..."

Albert thought, "He seems to want to form a force."

"Form a force?" Nicholas was even more stunned, and then he was so angry that he sneered again and again, "What does he take me for? What does he take for the Star Abyss Empire? Does he think that what happened in the Red River Star Stream will be revealed like this? Passed?"

"You still dare to build a force in the chaotic star gap?"

The more he talked, the angrier he became. Nicholas roared angrily: "Speaking of Potian, he is just a star-casting mechanic!"

Albert understood that Nicholas was not only because of the Green Dragon incident, but also because of the series of chain reactions caused by the Red River Star Stream incident.

The Bloody Archduke lost his son and lost his army, but in the end he gained nothing. This had long been a good story among the upper echelons of the empire, especially the traditional royal family, who ridiculed him.

And he had no accurate evidence to prove that it was Reiner who killed Gabriel, so he and Tsatogua were always at odds.

The Star Abyss Empire is a huge and bloated monster.

The inherent impression of normal people is that if anyone messes with the Xingyuan Empire, everyone in the Xingyuan Empire will work together to kill this person.

But in reality, it’s actually something else. For example, this time——

Royal family: Cixue is such a waste, how can he be played around like this? Whoever caused the trouble should fill it up himself, I will not help a person who betrayed the royal family!

House of Commons: Yes, yes, yes.

More than a month has passed, and the Grand Duke Cixue still has not saved his dignity, so he is naturally anxious.

Albert hurriedly added: "The intelligence analysts estimate that Qinglong's actions seem to be to use Li Ming as a target, and the establishment of forces or business are all pretexts..."

"Using Li Ming as bait?" Nicholas reacted, "He wants to lure me into action?"

"Uh..." Albert pondered and said awkwardly: "The intelligence room analysis should have other intentions, because we actually don't have the ability to catch Qinglong back."

How could Qinglong seduce someone who can't do it?

Nicholas' face turned black and he kneaded his brows. There were too many things to do, so he didn't have time to think carefully one by one. He was more focused on the analysis reports submitted by his subordinates.

"Unless you can make the empire take action with thunder."

Albert said with a stiff face.

Nicholas's face turned cold. He wanted to ask X-class to take action and capture Qinglong, but the Royal Council had rejected his request more than once.

Although he kept shouting about the Empire, he knew very well that he could not represent the Empire at all.

Qinglong did not essentially damage the interests of the Empire, but was suspected of damaging his interests.

In this situation, it is even more impossible for the top leaders of the Empire to send people there. Everyone knows what the Chaos Star Gap is. Li Ming is clearly a bait, and he still sent people there. What if there are people from the Yongyao Federation ambushing, wouldn't it be a big loss?

"So, just because of a bait, we are helpless?" Nicholas was dissatisfied: "What's the use of those people in the Intelligence Analysis Room except over-analysis?"

"It's mainly because Qinglong is too mysterious, and his information is blank." Albert was also helpless:

"If it was a Casting Star Mechanic with clear growth information, it would be possible to estimate the opponent's upper limit."

"The group of mechanics at the Imperial Academy of Sciences have not yet figured out how Qinglong repaired the Star Killer Spear."

"The biggest possibility is a small-scale time reversal. If Qinglong has this ability..."

Nicholas took a deep breath. Since Qinglong appeared, the more he analyzed, the more scary it became. He is a little unconfident now.

"Okay, the Imperial Academy of Sciences is a bunch of people who eat dry food. Those old guys should have given way long ago." Nicholas shook his head and said angrily:

"And the group of people in the Intelligence Analysis Room, they can't estimate the enemy's upper limit, so they set it higher? Why don't they say that Qinglong is already invincible in the universe?"

Albert didn't say anything. The Intelligence Analysis Room didn't speculate without reason. Basically, they made a comprehensive analysis based on the existing intelligence.

"Forget it, Albert, you should go to the Chaos Star Gap." Nicholas suddenly said.

"Hmm... Hmm?" Albert nodded subconsciously. Suddenly he was stunned, "I'll go?"

"Yes." Nicholas saw Albert's evasive eyes and was a little annoyed, but he had to suppress it and said in a deep voice: "I'm not asking you to catch Li Ming, just act according to the situation."

"The Chaos Star Gap is quite far away. Since you think Qinglong is fishing, if something goes wrong, I'm afraid I won't be able to arrive at the scene in time and fall behind others."

Nicholas's statement was reasonable and well-founded. Albert was reluctant, but he could only nod: "I understand."

Albert left the room, and Nicholas's face suddenly sank. He vaguely felt that the core ruins and Gabriel's death were all related to Qinglong.

He wanted to give it a try and catch him at all costs, but he was afraid that he would fall into Tsathoggua's calculations, and he was in a dilemma.

"I have to think of a way to get the Empire to help me."

……

Somewhere in the universe, the desolate universe is like a black curtain, dotted with twinkling stars. There is a huge nest made of black branches floating here.

Each branch is as thick as a mountain, stacked together in a disorderly and orderly manner. From a distance, it looks like a huge womb.

In the core hall, a pale light flickers, coming from the swaying gray-white flames on the black lampposts.

A group of figures wearing black gauze stood here, tall and short, fat and thin, without any seats, just gathered together.

"Sisters, the latest news, the 46th level development potential human has reappeared." The ethereal voice suddenly sounded and echoed in the empty hall.

After a short silence, a heated discussion sounded, "It appeared again, and the Casting Star Mechanic didn't hide him."

"Holy Mother, where is he?" A black gauze figure couldn't help asking, with a soft voice.

The Virgin Mary wore a black crown, and placed her six white palms on her abdomen. Her voice was still light and graceful:

"In the Chaos Star Gap, the Twin Peaks Hub, a sister found his trace and wanted to get the seeds, but was discovered and was executed by Austin."

"He has left now, but since he has appeared in our sight, we will not let him leave again." The Virgin Mary said slowly.

"Forty-sixth level development potential, under thirty years old, we have been waiting for a thousand years. As long as we get his seeds and combine them with the black goat eggs, the offspring born will definitely have a development potential of fifty levels." The Virgin Mary said slowly, her voice gradually becoming louder:

"The Star of Eternal Silence, the most mysterious weapon of the empire, the hope of control is just around the corner."

"Four thousand three hundred years ago, Adam broke his promise, and the previous Mother Saint stole the Star of Eternal Silence, causing the empire to shake and fight endlessly. Adam launched a siege, which almost destroyed us, but after waiting for so many years, the opportunity finally came."

"Mother Saint bless you!" The black veil members said in unison.

"However, that Azure Dragon should not be underestimated. With our current strength, we can only outsmart him." The Mother Saint added, "We must get ahead of the conservatives. According to our information, his orientation is still the opposite sex."

"So I'm going to..."

"I'll go." Suddenly someone in the black veil spoke, with a graceful figure, looking like a humanoid life form. In the haze, through the black veil, you can vaguely see the amber eyes.

"Desire, you do it yourself?" The Mother Saint was surprised: "I was going to plan a show."

The woman's voice was lazy: "This matter needs to be foolproof, and besides, I like such a young and excellent boy."

"This matter is a bit risky." The Mother Saint pondered.

Desire responded: "He's just a forging star-level mechanic. Even if he's discovered, I can escape without any problem. As long as I see his true body, he can't even wear a mecha."

The Virgin recalled various materials and nodded: "In this case, it couldn't be better. I will activate the mother nest and teleport you alone."

………

"Hiss——"

In the spaceship room, Li Ming opened his eyes and sighed helplessly. The elemental energy surging on the surface of his skin gradually subsided.

Even though he had been mentally prepared, Li Ming was still shocked by the outrageous development rate.

It has been thirteen days since he left the Gemini Hub. During this process, he has been developing gene seeds almost every moment.

Gravity adjustment can be pulled to more than three hundred times to assist development, but the overall development progress has not reached 1%.

"This is too slow. It may take nearly twenty days to reach 1%."

"At this rate, after three more attenuations, it may take ten years or even more than ten years to develop to 100%, and this is still under the condition of working non-stop." After a slight estimate, Li Ming was secretly shocked.

The negative emotions caused by the rate attenuation in the past are nothing in front of this time.

"It will take ten years to develop 100%..." Li Ming muttered. If Ulrich and others heard it, they would probably be dumbfounded.

Let alone ten years, it would be amazing enough to become an S-level life form within a hundred years.

"However, after mastering the sublimation source crystal, the development blessing will be doubled directly. If a few more S-level gene source materials are upgraded, it should be much faster."

"Upgrading gene source material does not require the Terrax Stone, but S-level gene source material can only be extracted from S-level life forms, and the difficulty is not low."

Li Ming thought about it, and then said helplessly: "I am still not used to this time scale of more than ten years."

Food should be eaten bite by bite, and plans should be made step by step. Nothing can be achieved overnight.
