This is not mechanical ascension.

"They are looking for more information to strengthen their grasp." Mikhail stared at Reynolds: "Since they have spoken, they must have done a lot of deductions. Do you really want to fight?"

Reynolds's attitude was quite domineering: "What if we fight? They didn't know the path of mechanical evolution in the first place. I don't believe that when the whole galaxy is staring at that corpse, they still have time to hunt us down?"

"Idiot!" Mikhail said angrily, "Do you really think that everyone is as stupid as you, with only confrontation in mind? Do you really think that the Empire and the Federation are stupid enough to confront the entire galaxy?"

"Believe it or not, if we throw the news out today, they will immediately invite everyone to participate in the research."

"In fact, the condition is to kill us. Then, it is us who will face the pressure of the entire interstellar space, not the Empire and the Federation!"

Reynolds froze for a moment, his momentum weakened, his expression changed, "That's too easy, at least we can trick them."

This is just being stubborn.

"They should have guessed it long ago." Li Ming spoke, speaking in the posture of a blue dragon: "When Li Ming got the secret, people from the Imperial Federation were also present. When it comes to revival, it's hard not to think of the path of mechanical evolution."

Mikhail thought that they had actually deceived the Empire and the Federation because they were not researching that secret at all.

They didn't know what Li Ming had obtained.

"That's true." Reynolds went down the steps that Qinglong handed to him.

Mikhail felt a lump in his heart and could not help but snort a few times, "This matter is not without benefits. It's time to move the base."

"Yes." Reynolds nodded suddenly, and then said worriedly: "However, I guess the Imperial Federation must have more than just the coordinates of the two bases."

"Do you need to guess?" Mikhail sneered. "I'll give you a suggestion. Relocate all the core bases. Listen carefully. All of them."

"All?" Reynolds was shocked and blurted out: "How much energy would that take?"

"Whatever you want, I'm just giving you a little reminder." Mikhail was too lazy to say anything more.

Reynolds thought thoughtfully, it would be better to spend more energy now than to have people blocking the door later.

"We need to change places here too," Mikhail said abruptly.

"Yes, there is also this matter." Reynolds looked at Mikhail suspiciously again: "When we built this place, all we used were the mechanical bodies under our control. There was no connection with the outside world at all."

"How did they know?"

"After all, there are resources that need to be purchased from the stars." Mikhail shook his head, "When we move, we should be more secretive."

After saying that, he found that Reynolds was still staring at him, his heart skipped a beat, and he said angrily: "Do you doubt me?"

"Why are you feeling guilty?" Reynolds became more suspicious.

Li Mingze said: "It shouldn't be Mr. Mikhail. It won't do him any good to do this."

"That's true." Reynolds nodded thoughtfully.

It’s nm!

Hearing these words again, Mikhail's mechanical pupils spun, and he even gritted his teeth.

Reynolds' attitude towards him and Qinglong was originally different.

Later, Qinglong was suspected of forging a hammer, and his attitude was even different.

It's obviously the same words, but the effect is different when they come from his mouth and when they come from Qinglong's mouth.

This was also related to the many conflicts between the two. He believed that Reynolds was not that stupid. Many times he just deliberately confronted him, which really made him angry.

Then, Reynolds said in a deep voice: "Hurry up and transfer, hurry up and study. I've seen enough of these people's faces. When they become the ultimate life form, I will make them pay."

Mikhail was too lazy to respond to such harsh words, and turned to Qinglong and said: "Thanks to you this time, otherwise even if we told them about this matter, it would not be enough, and they would definitely send someone to intervene."

Reynolds couldn't help but sneer: "We have to be like Qinglong and frighten them severely."

Having said that, his expression paused slightly, and he glanced at Qinglong, wondering what he was thinking of.

"It's my duty." Li Ming responded. He also needed to know the specific research progress of the corpse, so he just went with the flow.

The two of them had a lot of things to do next, including various moves. Li Ming also logged off and returned to the Mechanical King's Court.

"Huh..." Li Ming opened his eyes, exhaled, stood up and stretched his body, "It's still more comfortable to use my own body."

He thought: "After this encounter, the Empire and the Federation will definitely conduct more secret investigations on me, but none of them will be made public, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

I sorted out the thoughts in my mind.

At present, the only things worth his attention are his gene seeds and the Holy Castle.

Both of these involve the ultimate level of life forms and Titan relics, which should not be underestimated.

"And there is the Star of Eternal Silence..." Li Ming frowned slightly. This was actually the most troublesome thing.

It is not easy for him to go to the deep dimensional world.

Although he will not be harmed by Chronoa, Chronoa is not the only forbidden life in the deep dimension. The other party can pay the price and find someone to help.

Since the Star of Eternal Silence has not been found yet, he is not sure whether the other party can be of any help, and it is not easy to drain Chronoa.

It is obviously impossible to snatch things from the Empire by remotely controlling the Pioneers alone.

"These forbidden lives are too abnormal. They rely on the entire world and are extremely strong." Li Ming couldn't help but have a headache. "I guess it's difficult to compete with them at the S-level stage."

However, without Chronoa's help, the Empire's deep dimensional world also found it difficult to move forward.

The pioneer's Blackbeard often gave him written reports, describing the progress.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Li Ming stroked his chin and asked, "What did you want to do before?"

"Oh, right, mental defense device, early warning against bewitching."

With a slight shock in his spirit, he followed his previous thoughts and continued to create what he needed.

The sound of "ding ding dang dang" continued to ring. A few days later, Li Ming held a diamond-shaped crystal in his hand, frowning, "No..."

He threw it away and continued to work.

However, the difficulty of creating something at the spiritual defense level was beyond his imagination.

What he created was always a little bit different from what he wanted.

This construction took more than half a month. The high-frequency laser cutter moved on the crystal and the splashed metal debris was captured by the vacuum port.

Six robotic arms worked in coordination, twisting six strands of crystalline metal extending from a high-temperature forge, entwining them with each other.

Thirty-two fiber filaments are pulled out from the automated spindle. Every time the fibers intersect to form nodes, the adsorption device lights up with blue light, organizing the disordered silk threads into a honeycomb array and attaching them to the crystalline metal.

It looks like a metal wreath, and the final polishing process is done by a suspended grinding head.

The quantum particles on the surface of the grinding head rotate at high speed when in contact, and mist-like scratches appear on the metal surface first, and then a mirror-like luster emerges during the vibration.

The formed "metal wreath" is transferred to the testing table by a mechanical claw. Twelve probes penetrate the internal interface at the same time, and the green light of the test lamp lights up one by one along the energy lines.

Before it completely cooled down, Li Ming couldn't wait to pick it up -- [Nightmare Wreath--A Level]

[Control Ability - Nightmare: When the mental body is detected to be out of control, 10% of the control integrity is consumed, and the person may fall into a deep sleep, like a coma.]

"Falling into a deep sleep? Made myself unconscious?" Li Ming muttered, but this ability was somewhat similar to what he wanted.

"Let's get promoted to a lower level and see if I can get some improvement." He thought.

Sure enough, after the upgrade, there was a qualitative leap.

[Control ability - Nightmare: Once the spirit body loses control, it will lose 10% of its integrity and be awakened forcibly.]

Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief. He finally got the ability he wanted, which was equivalent to mental purification.

He has the ability to [possess] people, and with just a moment of reminder, he can use possession to make himself disappear, thus avoiding mental attacks.

But he couldn't possibly be wearing the [Tank Guard] all the time and be in the possessed state all the time.

Having this thing gives him enough time to react.

"【Shadow Sky Combat Armor】, 【Nightmare Wreath】... it's almost done, I'll save the last one 【Earth-shaking Fist】 for now..." Li Ming glanced at the control page and was in a good mood.

I left the laboratory and came to the gene development room, took the gene development drug, turned on the [Magnetic Crystal Heavy Domain], and the energy particles on the surface of my skin surged, and I entered a happy development time.

As for the consciousness body, he entered the Holy Castle. He is still unable to defeat the peak transcendence level trial, and the development progress needs to reach 60%.

His current development progress is 39%, just a little bit away from 40%.

He still has a little mechanical source material in his hand. If nothing unexpected happens, he plans to use it when it reaches 50%.

Assuming that all evolutionary sources have reached level X, it is estimated that 60% can be raised in one fell swoop, saving a lot of time.

His side is thriving, but Interstellar will not stagnate.

As the news of the expansion of the United Organization of Higher Life Forms intensified, related news almost occupied the pages of every civilization, and it seemed that everyone was discussing it.

Except for those civilizations that have severed their ties with the interstellar network and closed all evolutionary routes within their borders, everything remains calm.

Many life forms in the interstellar space are either expecting or protesting. Of course, there are also some people who remain skeptical about this news.

In the noisy discussion.

A month later, a statement jointly issued by the three major civilizations caused a sensation.

"…In order to maintain interstellar security and stability, the Higher Life Forms United Organization will accept ordinary members who are willing to work for interstellar peace and development…"

“…At the same time, due to various considerations, the board of directors will undergo its first change after one year…”

The United Organization of Higher Life Forms is really going to expand!

Not only that, the board members also need to be replaced.

Once the official news was released, the heat that had been accumulated for a long time completely exploded, and various related discussions emerged one after another.

The most eye-catching of these is the replacement of the ten-member board of directors of the United Organization of Higher Life Forms.

According to the announcement released when it was established, the board of directors will not be replaced within five years.

But now nearly four years have passed, and with only one year left, it will pass in a flash, and replacement is imminent.

The rules for replacement are also very clear and are based on strength.

There is no first in literature, and no second in martial arts.

The strongest contest of individual power is naturally more eye-catching.

Everyone on the board of directors has basically become known to the outside world during the period since the establishment of the joint organization.

Their pursuit of the strong has also allowed them to accumulate many fans.

There has always been a discussion about who is strong and who is weak, and now it is put on paper, so it is naturally more intense.

Five or six days after the announcement, most of the news discussed who was most likely to be replaced and who was least likely to be replaced on the board of directors.

The directors' historical performance, areas of activity, and growth experiences were all compared in various ways.

As the discussion went on, some people suddenly deviated from the topic and started talking about Qinglong, and the style of the discussion became completely different.

"…Tsk, I still think it's impossible to give Qinglong this opportunity. Everyone is competing in individual strength. If he starts with a mechanical body to pave the way, how can we fight him?"

"If he is given this precedent, then won't the other two master craftsmen be able to challenge him as well?"

"But those mechanical bodies are part of Lord Qinglong's strength. You can't let him cut off his own arms, right?"

"Don't confuse the concepts. If Qinglong is a mechanically modified body, let him fight with his original body. If not, forget it."

"Just because he's a mechanic, he can use mechanical bodies to assist him. Does that mean others can also be called mechanics?"

It is generally recognized that mechanically modified bodies are evolved bodies, but whether mechanics are evolved bodies has been a topic of discussion since the establishment of the Mechanics Association.

Many people think that if mechanics are counted, then everyone is an evolved being. Who can't drive a mecha and control a mechanical body?

But some people also believe that the so-called mechanic essentially uses the mechanical bodies he makes to fight.

But those who oppose it also have something to say: Who knows whether you built your mechanical body yourself or bought it?

In short, this old topic has been brought up again and sparked a lot of discussion because of the change of board seats and the involvement of Qinglong, the master craftsman.

"Don't be misled!" A well-known interstellar critic issued a solemn statement, "What is important now is not the replacement of the board of directors, but the rules for the expansion of higher life forms."

"Can all X-level life forms be absorbed?"

"Those who have launched interstellar massacres, those who are wanted by more than a hundred or two hundred civilizations."

"Those inhumane and beastly higher life forms can be accepted as law enforcers defending interstellar justice. I don't believe it!"

Cromwell was a doctor without borders, often traveling to backward civilizations and had a high reputation.

His statement resonated with many people, who expressed their support and demanded that the Interstellar Alliance not accept higher life forms with wanted warrants.

However, this raises another question, and another StarCraft critic made the following statement:

“A wanted person in one civilization may be a hero in another.”

"Different races, different civilizations, different laws, how do we determine whether a crime has been committed or not?"

It seems that everyone has a point, and interstellar public opinion is roaring like waves, making it difficult to reach a conclusion.

In this situation, the United Organization of Higher Life Forms, which is at the center of the storm, is preparing to hold another meeting.

"…Second regular meeting?"

In the Mechanical Royal Court, Li Ming received a notice with flickering eyes. This notice came very urgently. It was a notice jointly initiated by the three major civilizations. The wording was quite impolite, requiring all members of the board of directors to be online within three hours.
