This is not mechanical ascension.

"Huh?" Clyde was a little confused, "I'm not planning to become the president, I just want these people to have a place to live."

"If you are not prepared, then why are you taking the path of personality worship?" the old man asked.

"What kind of personality cult?" Clyde wondered.

The old man shook his head, "You can't lie to me, face your heart-"

After the words fell, Clyde felt comfortable, his expression became dazed, and he murmured: "I don't want to be the president, I just want these people to live and work in peace and contentment. The old man's expression suddenly became suspicious, and he looked at Clyde up and down, and his expression gradually became Inexplicable.

Clyde came back to his senses and didn't know what was happening. He looked around and realized that heavily armed soldiers had surrounded them layer by layer.

"Stop!" Someone suddenly yelled, and a serious-looking senior officer came out from behind, "Put down your guns!"

"General Rona" Clyde became more and more puzzled, and the other party walked forward quickly and whispered: "This is the special envoy of the Holy Revolutionary Army - His Excellency Florian, who just arrived not long ago."

"Special envoy of the Holy Revolutionary Army?" Clyde looked at the old man in front of him.

Before Florian could speak, his face moved slightly, and an energy shield popped out, wrapping the two of them but isolating the senior officer.

Immediately, he took out the smart terminal, which kept vibrating. After connecting it, a rough voice came, with anxiety and uneasiness:

"Your Excellency Florian, Saint Sanders, and Saint Fenite were killed three hours ago."

Saint?

Clyde was stunned. This name was familiar to him.

Rumor has it that the saints of the Holy Revolutionary Army are at least S-class life forms, which is a level that only the strongest in their Federal Republic can possess.

Can cause devastating damage to the planet.

"You move so fast?" Florian's face changed slightly.

The voice of the other party was full of grief and anger, "Once the Alliance of Advanced Life Forms takes action, it will be Thunder Strike. Many civilizations use them as mercenaries, and they are free mercenaries."

"Many civilizations have taken unprecedented initiative and applied for military assistance and provided intelligence support."

"It's only been a few months, but many resistance organizations have already been severely weakened by the attack. It won't be long before people's hearts are dispersed."

Florian muttered: "Command to go down and continue to close."

"Do you want to continue to gather together?" The other party couldn't help but asked, "This joint organization of advanced life forms has set us as a target to establish its power from the very beginning. Does it really want to follow the empire's wishes?"

"Otherwise, do you still want to fight?" Florian asked back, "How can we fight with the joint organization of advanced life forms, the empire, and the active efforts of various civilizations?"

"But just hide like this" -" The other party was unwilling to speak. Florian frowned and continued to ask: "What are the internal thoughts? "

There was a slight hesitation in the voice before he said: "Divide and win over. According to the news, there was a vote at that time. Two people abstained from voting, namely the master craftsman Qinglong and the master of the star gate Anduin."

"The internal opinion is to win over Anduin, the master of the star gate first——"

Before he finished speaking, Florian interrupted, "Why do you want to win over Anduin? Instead of Qinglong—"

The other party immediately explained: "Qinglong's situation is a bit complicated. On the one hand, it is because his own strength performance is much worse than Anduin's. There is only one mechanical royal court with demonic forces on the surface."

"On the other hand, it's because he has too much to worry about with the Machinists Association. Even if he tries to win over them, it won't be of much use."

Clyde's eyes flickered. These names were familiar to him. They were all big figures who were stirring up trouble in the interstellar world. They were all very powerful.

"What do you think? If you agree, we will be ready to take action." The other party asked again.

Florian thought about it, but did not answer. Instead, he looked at Clyde and asked slowly: "What do you think?"

"Me?" Clyde was stunned.

Florian smiled and his attitude softened a lot: "Tell me, I want to hear your perspective."

"Who are you talking to?" The voice on the smart terminal was confused.

Clyde hesitated, "I think it's normal to win over foreign aid, but the one who needs to be roped in is not the master of the Star Gate, but the master craftsman Qinglong."

"Oh?" Florian seemed to be more interested, "Go on."

Clyde thought: "This Lord Qinglong, on the surface, does not seem to be eye-catching, but he is not only the ten founders of the United Organization of Higher Life Forms, but also the master craftsman of the Mechanics Association. The leader of this organization Almost all civilizations in the interstellar world."

"It's even said that he vaguely has a good relationship with the empire and can be used as a hub to unite all parties."

"Furthermore, his reputation is very good. Although the Lord of the Star Gate is famous, cooperating with him is contrary to the purpose of the Holy Revolutionary Army."

Florian nodded, seeming to be more and more satisfied, and added: "For you, a person like Qinglong has a too high position, but you seem to know a lot about him."

Clyde smiled helplessly, "If a big man like this makes a slight movement among the stars, he may have a great impact on us. There is no way we can't help but pay attention."

"For example, due to the recent turmoil in the Mechanics Association, mechanics from several nearby civilizations have stopped working. As a result, we have not updated our weapons and equipment for a long time."

"But after the recent negotiations ended, nearby mechanics are preparing to get back to work. We just placed an order and will deliver it three months later, but the price is still 35% higher."

He sighed. The confrontation between big men was an unbearable burden for them.

Florian smiled and then spoke, "Did you hear that, the value of the Azure Dragon far exceeds Anduin."

"Qinglong?" The voice on the side of the smart terminal hesitated: "But there is also a speculation among the stars that Qinglong may be a member of the empire.

"He can be sure that he is not from the empire." Florian shook his head, almost convinced: "Okay, no need to say anything more, it is decided that it is him."

Clyde was stunned for a moment, then thought deeply. He didn't think it was possible for him to change his mind about such a character. This special envoy was probably planning to win over Qinglong from the beginning.

"However, we need chips to win him over -" Florian didn't know what he was thinking in his dark eyes. After a moment, he said,

"Activate Night Shadow, and at all costs, we must obtain detailed information on extracting the blood of the world from the Federal Academy of Advanced Sciences."

"Activate Night Shadow?" Fang Ran, this code name is almost one of the personnel with the highest lurking level within the Revolutionary Army. He has never been used. Clyde looked dazed. From the beginning, he couldn't hear anything.

"Just execute it." Florian didn't explain much, "In addition, if you issue a silent command, you can reduce your actions if you can!"

"Yes!" The other party responded with difficulty.

Clyde was at a loss as this was obviously an internal communication within the Holy Revolutionary Army.

Even if he didn't hear the last part, the previous words were enough to be regarded as secrets, involving the connections between many important people.

But that’s what I told him.

Florian put away the smart terminal, looked at Clyde again, and said with a smile: "I have heard so many secrets, so you need to come with me now."

"I-" Clyde's face changed, knowing that the other party did it on purpose, but in the end he could only smile bitterly, "Can I ask why?"

The other party's status must be very high within the Holy Revolutionary Army, far more than just a special envoy.

Florian shook his head, his dark pupils making people shudder, "Not yet."

"Now that he has learned the news, he will not only use it on this matter, but also on other things." Adam looked calmly and looked at the ashamed Costate on the screen.

"I can't blame you for this matter. Who knew he could come to the eternal realm at any time, so it has been delayed for a year, and it won't hinder anything."

Costart looked helpless: "But other civilizations already know that we have a big clue in finding the Star of Eternal Silence. If Qinglong keeps it secretive, they will be more curious and will definitely spend a lot of energy to find it." Inquire.”

"There is nothing we can do about it." Adam had a calm mind. When Qinglong learned about the Star of Eternal Silence, he was also helpless.

But he can't always make a fool of himself, there will always be times when he makes a mistake.

The most important thing now is that the United Organization of Higher Life Forms has been completed. As for when to divide the Mechanics Association, the empire does not care.

Overall, this is acceptable.

"It's been confirmed that Qinglong is Talos!" Costart said solemnly, "Should we tell Klonoa this news?"

"No -" Adam shook his head, "Don't worry, the fusion of the world's blood has ended. As long as strong information characteristics appear next time, we can lock him."

"Do you still need to lock it?" Costat was puzzled: "It's obvious that it's him."

Adam explained: "The lock is not for us to see, but for Cronoa to see. He only believes in his own world blood and will not believe our words."

"When Klonoa is sure that we have indeed found Talos, he will have no choice but to cooperate with us."

Costat looked stunned at first, and then confused.

Adam still wasn't ready to attack Qinglong, but was just preparing to threaten Klonoa with this matter.

He even doubted whether the Holy Emperor had reached some kind of deal with Qinglong. Seeing that the threat from Qinglong was getting bigger and bigger, he was still unwilling to take action.

"You--" Costart looked hesitant and reminded carefully: "The green dragon is not to be underestimated..."

Adam naturally knew what Kostat was thinking, so he just smiled and said, "His interests do not conflict with ours."

He had no intention of explaining, and said calmly: "Since the Eternal Silence Star is temporarily frozen, then you should come back first. The ruins of the Holy Spirit Civilization are right in front of you. You just happen to be here to preside over this matter. It is also the blood of the world that comes into contact with Qinglong." good opportunity.”

"I understand." Costart nodded.

Three days later, Li Ming received a communication from Reynolds. After answering, the virtual screen that popped up squeezed out the three-dimensional model in front of him--

"Sorry, Qinglong, the Star Alliance is not interested in selling the information on extracting the blood of the world."

Reynolds apologized slightly, "I asked several senior executives, and they all refused. I didn't tell them that you wanted it, and it probably wasn't deliberately targeting you."

"Okay, I understand, sorry for the trouble." Li Ming nodded.

"You're welcome." Reynolds said, ending the communication.

"-Do you care so much about this kind of information?" Li Ming muttered. Mikhail also sent him information yesterday, and the Federation also refused to sell it.

Although on the surface, everyone is dividing the Mechanics Association, the two of them still have a very wide network of contacts.

Beat those who deserve to be beaten openly, and drink those who deserve to be drunk secretly, without hindering them.

They can't get either of them, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to obtain them through normal channels.

"It shouldn't be. Are there other applications for this thing?" Li Ming thought.

It suddenly occurred to me that the Titans use the blood of the world to strengthen themselves, and the three major civilizations may also know this information.

Perhaps it is believed that the blood of the world may involve the evolutionary path of the ultimate life form.

"That would be troublesome," Li Ming frowned. Going to grab it must be the last step.

And it is not so easy to achieve. At least you need to figure out where all the information is, and you need to have strength and equipment, as well as a lot of preliminary preparations, which all require manpower.

And the mechanical body under his command is obviously not suitable for completing such a task.

After taking action, you have to break away in one blow, and you can't expose your identity. It is extremely difficult.

"Let's think of other ways--" He shook his head, put this matter aside for the time being, and called up the previous virtual model.

It looks like a cone-shaped continent with irregular edges. There are some collapsed huge buildings on the outside. Some places are clearer, with scattered metal structures and hollow buildings.

And some places are foggy, especially a large area in the center, which is completely shrouded in fog.

This is the model of the ruins of the Holy Spirit Civilization. Reynolds and Mikhail went there more than once and collected sufficient information.

This ruin of civilization was discovered by the God of Forging Hammer six thousand years ago. It is located in the "storm zone". Due to the influence of the storm, it can only be entered once every four to six hundred years.

The God of Forging Hammer has entered it about ten times, and may have explored the core area.

It was not until later that the God of Forging Hammer told them the coordinates.

Mikhail's original words were, "? A garbage dump left by the Forging Hammer. This of course caused Reynolds' dissatisfaction, claiming that the God of Forging Hammer once said that there was actually nothing good on it and it could only be used as a technical reference.

".·It is covered with an extremely strong magnetic field, which will seriously interfere with the performance of the mechanical body-" Li Ming recalled the relevant information told to him by the two Gods.

The Holy Spirit Civilization is a powerful mechanical civilization. It seems strange to have such a stance.

But Reynolds told him that in addition to this magnetic field, there is also an ultra-high-specification blockade of the space-time dimension, which suppresses life even more strongly.

It should be the remnants of its core defense, and this proves that the Forging Hammer did not thoroughly explore this place, and did not even find the source of this force field.

Reynolds and Mikhail went there five times and indeed got a lot of good things, which also inspired them.

Mikhail was very evasive about this, and only Reynolds revealed a little--

"Before, I found a broken giant soldier, which was very complicated. I repaired it almost, and estimated that it could have a combat power of nearly 300X energy level-"
