This is not mechanical ascension. - Chapter 313

Divide the Xingyuan Empire?

To be honest, Li Ming was also shocked by the weight of these words.

Even as an old actor, he couldn’t help but pause slightly, and his heart was stirred.

But at the same time, he was also alert. Although this statement was suspected of bragging, he must have a certain confidence to throw out such a heavy bomb right at the beginning.

He quickly sorted out his emotions and did not follow the other party’s topic. Instead, he was calm and unbuttoned his clothes.

He sat down casually and pointed to the chair on the other side: “Sir, please sit down, what’s your name?”

Blackbeard was slightly surprised, but didn’t say much. He walked to the chair, sat down, and then stroked his chin and pulled up his beard, “You can call me, Blackbeard.”

As the words “divide the Xingyuan Empire” came out, there was a kind of imminent power, which was resolved by Qinglong.

Obviously, this Casting Star-level mechanic did not like this feeling of being suppressed.

Seeing the other party’s actions, Li Ming was slightly stunned. There seemed to be a flash of lightning in his mind, and he suddenly remembered the guide that Lao Wu had mentioned.

“He is not tall, half hunched over, with a full face of stubble, and he likes to stroke his beard when he has nothing to do…”

The driving force behind the scenes?

Realizing this, Li Ming became more vigilant. From the known information currently available, the strength of the driving force behind the scenes must be not low.

He even had the urge to wear a tank guard directly, but he didn’t know the other party’s purpose for the time being, and doing so would be tantamount to showing his cowardice.

At the same time, the words “divide the Xingyuan Empire” also shone brightly in his mind. This is the ultimate goal of this guy, or this group of people.

At this moment, he thought of a lot. As an old empire, the Xingyuan Empire is definitely the overlord of the galaxy.

The strength, heritage, and influence are unparalleled.

It is not a matter of a word to divide this empire. This time’s provocation should be only a small part of the whole plan.

Even so, it took decades or even longer.

Li Ming was not tempted by this illusory big cake. He was surprised that the other party actually invited him to join the whole big plan.

He himself was very surprised. After all, he had ruined the other party’s plan and emptied the core ruins.

It would be fine if he was not angry, but he also came to extend an olive branch. For such a big plan, is it so casual to recruit people?

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. After confirming the other party’s identity, the amount of information derived was too large. Li Ming had to sort it out a little, but his face remained calm and said calmly:

“I thought I would not see you this time.”

“Haha…” Blackbeard laughed. In his cognition, Qinglong had completely seen through their plan this time, so he spoke casually:

“Your Excellency’s means have been used to this extent. If I don’t show up, it would be too arrogant. Arrogance is not a good thing.”

What do they think I did?

Li Ming remained calm and laughed, “I’m not up to the standard, how can I compare to you guys.”

“You’re being modest.”

Blackbeard shook his head. After a brief greeting, he simply said, “You have demonstrated your strength and means, and handed in your pledge of allegiance. We welcome the joining of a Casting Star Mechanic.”

Li Ming’s eyes moved slightly. He could understand showing his strength and means, but when would he pledge his allegiance…

Hmm… Was it Gabriel?

Li Ming’s heart skipped a beat. This guy directly determined that it was me who killed Gabriel, and thought that I killed Gabriel in order to pledge my allegiance?

The thoughts in his mind flashed like lightning. If he reversed the inference, it meant that the other party thought that I had known about their existence for a long time and had been planning to join, so I pledged my allegiance.

Otherwise, this idea didn’t make sense at all.

Then why did he think so?

Li Ming himself couldn’t figure it out. He did know that someone was behind this and had found many clues.

But that’s all. At most, he took advantage of the situation and pushed it a little. It wouldn’t make the other party have such an illusion, right?

No, it seems that I’ve thought about it wrongly.

Li Ming’s eyes condensed slightly, and he pondered secretly. Everything he did was carried out according to his own plan and changed according to the situation.

At the beginning, he was not strong enough, so he lay dormant temporarily, trying his best to improve his strength. He went back and forth between the Land of Stars, the Torch Organization, and came here again.

As an executor himself, of course he couldn’t feel anything, but it was not the case in the eyes of others.

No one thought that his mecha was knocked out overnight, and no one thought that his forging star mechanic could be achieved in a short time. It all takes a long time to accumulate.

In other words, the means and strength he has shown now have made those in the know equate the original Qinglong.

Since he emerged in the Land of Stars, he has been an extremely powerful forging star mechanic, but he has been hiding.

And this has a derivative question. Since Qinglong’s strength is so strong, why is he so low-key at the beginning?

There must be other intentions and big plans!

Coupled with some coincidences, this person in front of him thought that he wanted to join in.

Li Ming felt that his speculation should be pretty close, and he also realized that what he did might have puzzled many people.

Blackbeard could come up with a reasonable motive, but others who didn’t know the inside story couldn’t figure it out.

Qinglong had been hiding for so long, what on earth did he want to do.

But this misunderstanding seemed to be quite good. Blackbeard didn’t care about Qinglong’s silence and just said: “Are you surprised?”

Li Ming smiled and continued following the other person’s words: “It’s indeed a bit surprising. It seems… too simple.”

“Haha…” Blackbeard grinned, “Is it easy? To be able to defeat two S-class life forms, take An Ye into account, and still escape unscathed, is it easy?”

“If you want to ask An Ye to take action, the price you have to pay is not small. You are just asking for prostitution for nothing.”

“If you say this is easy, then even I would be a little ashamed.”

Li Ming knocked on the table and kept smiling politely, “Yes, I tried my best, but in the end only one person came. With just such a sentence, don’t you look down on me too much?”

Blackbeard’s face froze slightly, as if he didn’t expect the other party to say that, but quickly restrained himself, shook his head and explained:

“Currently, I am responsible for the phased plan of the core ruins. If you intervene in this matter, I will naturally be the one to do it.”

At the end, he added a meaningful sentence: “It’s not that I don’t pay attention to it, it’s just that there are too many people coming, and I’m afraid to scare you.”

“Oh?” Li Ming raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “I’m really curious, how many participants are there in such a big plan?”

“The number is beyond imagination.” Blackbeard said quietly, “There are more interstellar giants among them, the kind that even you and I have to look up to.”

“Even you and I have to look up to you?” Li Ming was not frightened. For now, this guy said it all by himself, so he took it as a boast.

“There shouldn’t be many people like this.”

“Indeed it’s not much.” Blackbeard was vague, then said in a deep voice: “Your Excellency has put a lot of effort into it. It has taken more than a year in total. Isn’t that what you are doing right now? Why are you so hesitant? “

“Yes, I do have this idea.” Li Ming nodded, “But you should also understand that I am not joining to be a volunteer.”

Hearing this, Blackbeard couldn’t help but smile and said: “Of course, the size of the Star Abyss Empire, once it falls, will definitely make us all eat a lot.”

“Your Excellency may not have the opportunity to go further, become a master-level mechanic, and stand on the top of the stars.”

There are very few master-level mechanics who need to reach the end of a branch line related to mechanics, or even innovate and create powerful technological creations.

“That one is too far. I don’t know when it will be completed.” Li Ming shook his head and refused to eat the cake.

Blackbeard was not angry when he heard this. He nodded and said: “You are right. As for the immediate benefits, don’t you need A-level gene seeds? We will help you.”

“An Ye can also facilitate this, but the waiting time may be longer than you think.”

Li Ming nodded. An Ye told him about this at the beginning of the cooperation. He might not be able to handle it on his own. He, a star-casting mechanic, needs to show his face.

“I also want a planet as a base.” Li Ming added, “Within the chaotic star gap.”

“A planet?” Blackbeard raised his brows and agreed easily, “No problem, but it’s impossible in an area that’s too central.”

“I still need your channels to help me complete some things.” Li Ming further said.

Blackbeard frowned slightly, as if he was begging the other party to join, but Qinglong’s request was not too excessive.

He nodded and said: “Yes, channels are shared, but you have to enjoy the convenience and help others.”

Li Ming looked at the other party’s expression and did not continue to raise conditions. Instead, he extended his hand and said, “Happy cooperation.”

These conditions are neither painful nor itchy. If it goes further, the other party may not be able to agree.

“Happy cooperation.” Blackbeard also stood up, and the two of them held their hands tightly together.

Then the atmosphere became obviously more relaxed, and Li Ming immediately asked: “Is it really feasible to carve up the Star Abyss Empire?”

“Or are we just gathering a large amount of strength for this reason?”

Blackbeard looked at him deeply, “Of course.”

“The Star Abyss Empire is now rotten to the core. The conflicts between the three major factions have reached the point of incompatibility. The universe has been peaceful for many years. It is impossible for them to launch external wars to divert the conflicts. They can only continue to simmer until they implode.”

“Not only that, the cake of the Star Abyss Empire has long been divided up. Every new force needs to tear off its own share from the cake of the older generation. The battle between the new factions and the old antiques is equally intense. “

He said in a sad tone: “The lifespan of an evolved person is too long, and they occupy many things and never let go.”

“Once there is an opportunity, internal and external troubles will occur, and collapse is imminent.”

Li Ming listened thoughtfully, and it sounded very reasonable. It seemed that it was like this at the end of every civilization, even the feudal dynasty in his previous life.

But the problem is that this universe has extremely strong individual force to hold on to it.

Then, he asked: “Then what do you need me to do next?”

“Just wait.” Blackbeard said casually, “My original plan was to use the sublimated source crystal to provoke conflict between the two parties, but the death of Gabriel can achieve the same result, or even better.”

Blackbeard made it very clear, “The Bloody Archduke is the nineteenth son of Prince Ryan and the only grandson to receive the title of Grand Duke.”

“Although Prince Ryan belongs to the royal line, because their line is declining day by day, he relies on the support of the House of Lords to be awarded the title of Grand Duke of Blood.”

“Prince Costate, the father of Grand Duke Guya, is the younger brother of the Holy Emperor of Glory. Once the two of them fight, and the situation becomes incompatible, it will inevitably cause friction between the two factions.”

“Of course, there needs to be some push along the way.”

Li Ming really didn’t know much about the internal situation of the Xingyuan Empire. After a little rumbling, he roughly understood it and said with a slight movement in his heart: “You guys should be more than just doing this, right?”

“Of course, many places are working hard, you will know later.” Blackbeard did not explain much, after all, Qinglong had just joined.

Li Ming nodded and asked: “Then does our organization have a name? For example, the Anti-Star Society or something like that.”

Blackbeard looked strange, shook his head and said: “There is no clear name.”

“Is the Black Hole Palace one of ours?” Li Ming suddenly asked again.

“No, the Black Hole Palace is the Black Hole Palace.” Blackbeard denied, “Let’s exchange contact information first. At the moment, your contact person is only me. I will inform you when there are further plans.”

Blackbeard just left without even bringing him into the group chat, which shows that this organization is quite loose.

In other words, he has not yet gained real trust and is a “peripheral” member. It has nothing to do with the strength he has shown. It is just a matter of trust.

It seems that the other party has dropped a bombshell, saying that they would carve up the Star Abyss Empire, but in fact it is not a secret.

These words may be mentioned by tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of living beings on an interstellar scale every day.

Moreover, it is impossible for something of this level to be planned secretly and completely hidden in the dark.

The situation where “after the Star Empire split, an organization suddenly emerged, claimed responsibility for the incident, and then caused interstellar shock” is simply impossible to happen.

The Star Abyss Empire is not without smart people. If it is really divided, it will definitely be an irresistible trend that is obvious and obvious.

So Blackbeard doesn’t mind telling this matter, but the other party has no plans to reveal the real core action plan and other secrets.

“Divide the Star Abyss Empire…How many good things will we get?”

Thoughts were intertwined in Li Ming’s mind, but he couldn’t help but feel a sense of expectation. Although it was just a cake, this cake was big and fragrant.

He originally wanted to ask the other party about the Titan Stone, but after thinking about it, he gave up. This was his core need. He didn’t trust the other party very much and didn’t want to be exposed for the time being.

Li Ming gathered his thoughts and shook his head. At present, he still wanted to obtain the A-level gene seeds as soon as possible.

With Qinglong’s identity, he currently only has a mecha to support the scene. He can only be passively beaten, which is not enough.
