This is not mechanical ascension. - Chapter 357
“It’s such an honor to be a prophet.” Li Ming smiled and said in a very calm tone.
“Your Majesty, you are humble.” The prophet’s voice could not be heard as ripples, “Your methods astound us.”
“Your organization is no less generous.” Li Ming’s eyes flickered, and he couldn’t figure out whether the other party knew that he had killed Adas.
The prophet did not mention Adas and said: “Excuse me, can you solve the problem of the decline in the development progress of Desire.”
“This…” Li Ming did not answer, but asked directly: “Where is the Star of Eternal Silence?”
There was no sound on the screen. After a long time, Li Ming heard the prophet’s response, with a long tone, “Your Excellency Qinglong, you are really direct enough.”
The Holy Mother had already predicted it and guessed that Qinglong’s goal was the Star of Eternal Silence, but she was surprised by his directness.
The Prophet said, “We do not know the whereabouts of the Everlasting Star.”
When Li Ming heard this, his voice sounded careless: “You don’t know? Since you guys came to talk to me, shouldn’t you be a little sincere?”
The prophet was a little helpless, but he had a rough idea of the information Li Ming had. He knew a lot of secrets, but he was still far from the truth.
This is quite normal. After all, it happened more than 4,000 years ago. Some secrets have almost never been known to outsiders except for word of mouth by those who have experienced it.
“This involves some things in the past of the Holy Mother Church. Out of sincerity, we are willing to tell you.” The prophet said sincerely.
Li Ming was noncommittal. He knew very little about the Star of Eternal Silence. The only ones who could test it were the Pioneers and the Holy Mother Cult.
Li Ming didn’t want to portray Qinglong as omniscient, as that would seem too fake and prone to loopholes.
Seeing that he was silent, the prophet slowly elaborated: “Five thousand years ago, the previous prophet Selkaya married the glorious Holy Emperor Demes at that time and gave birth to a child named Adam.”
“Through the special methods of Imperial Biotechnology and the Holy Mother Cult, Adam’s development potential has reached an astonishing level fifty-seven.”
Li Ming’s heart skipped a beat when he heard this number. This… is indeed a bit shocking.
The prophet continued to narrate, “This number can already be ranked among the top three in the history of the royal family. After Adam came of age, our Holy Mother Church did our best to train him.”
“After another five hundred years, Adam has become an S-class life form, and has been developed to nearly 100%, becoming the most dazzling descendant of the Holy Emperor of Glory.”
The prophet’s voice was hollow, vaguely describing an era of blood and fire, “But at that time, the previous glorious Holy Emperor, Demes, suddenly died suddenly, and the power of the royal family fell into a vacuum.”
“Adam took the initiative to seek help from us and promised that after he becomes the Holy Emperor of Glory, the Holy Mother Cult will become an orthodox sect that is recognized within the Star Abyss Empire and can be widely preached.”
Widely preaching… Li Ming’s eyes were gloomy. In the past, the Holy Mother Cult was active among high-level people. If it gets the support of the empire, it will also become popular among the middle-level people, which is terrifying.
The prophet continued: “With his mother’s guarantee, and Adam’s always being upright and honest, we are willing to believe him, and after putting in considerable efforts and two hundred years, we finally made him one of the pinnacles of interstellar power, Glory. Holy Emperor.”
The prophet’s voice finally had some waves, “But on the day he became the Holy Emperor of Glory, the upright Holy Emperor Adam broke his promise. Not only did he refuse to fulfill it, he also ordered us to leave the Star Abyss Empire and did not allow us to do so. Get your hands on even the slightest bit of imperial benefit.”
Li Ming heard it without any trouble. According to the prophet, the Holy Mother Cult is a white lotus, but if you think about it, you know it’s not that simple.
The prophet sighed, “With no choice but to recover losses, we stole a secret treasure of the imperial family, the Star of Eternal Silence, and let his mother, Queen Selkaya, die a violent death.”
“The Star of Eternal Silence belongs to the imperial family…” Li Ming keenly captured this sentence. There is only two words between the imperial family and the empire, but they are very different.
“In a longer period of time, the empire was the empire of the royal family.” The prophet nodded, “And the upper and lower houses were originally tools used by the imperial family to deal with the people at the bottom. But as time goes by, the upper and lower houses gradually occupy more Resources, on the contrary, forced the royal family to decline continuously. “
“The Star of Eternal Silence is originally a secret treasure obtained by the imperial family.”
“Get”, Li Ming captured another word, but he didn’t show it.
The Star of Eternal Silence was not forged by the Empire, and it could still be regarded as an important treasure by the Empire.
Inexplicably, the words “Tyrax” appeared in Li Ming’s mind. It seemed that only something from this powerful civilization could be regarded as a treasure by the empire and kept looking for it.
He speculated in his heart, and the prophet continued: “Adam was furious and launched a war that lasted for more than seven hundred years. In the process, the Holy Mother Church and the imperial royal family suffered heavy losses.”
“The Houses of Lords and Lower Houses have completely expanded, and the Star of Eternal Silence has also been lost in the dimensional world during its escape. No one knows where it is, not even us.”
This is a magnificent history, and even if the prophet simply summarized it, it took a long time.
“Even you?” Li Ming rubbed his fingers, “Then why do you insist on Li Ming’s seeds? Just to cultivate powerful tools.”
The prophet was noncommittal: “Your Excellency, our questions have been answered. It’s your turn.”
Li Ming paused and then said, “Sorry, I can’t understand it.”
The prophet’s originally calm tone suddenly became suspicious: “What does it mean that you can’t understand it?”
“Literally, that virus was developed by me accidentally. It is irreversible and extremely destructive.”
“I guess Fushi has fallen from the S-class life form, right?”
The prophet was silent, more than falling.
After falling into an A-class life form, it does not mean that the S-class gene seeds in her body are gone. They are still in Fuxi’s body, which causes her body to become deformed.
It was almost impossible to forcibly remove her S-class gene seeds, which would cause extremely serious damage to the body.
Nowadays, the high-level executive codenamed Desire Witch is in a mental state that is close to madness. Watching her step by step degradation from a higher life form is simply torturous.
Even if the prophet, the Holy Mother, or anyone in the organization tries to enter it, they can feel the chill and despair like falling into a nightmare.
And now, Qinglong actually said that there is no solution? The prophet didn’t believe it at first.
Li Ming said indifferently: “I’m not lying. You should have tested her development potential, which is 0%. This is the powerful destructive power of the virus. No one can repair it.”
In order to strengthen his persuasion, he continued, “In this case, there is no need for me to lie to you.”
“I named it “The Eternal Nightmare”, a nightmare that even its creator cannot solve.”
Nightmare…an eternal nightmare. When she thought about the state of desire, she felt a faint feeling of coldness coming towards her face.
This kind of virus would rank high even in interstellar history. She even wanted to question Qinglong, if she had nothing better to do, study this kind of virus that harmed others but was not beneficial to herself?
She said coldly: “Your Excellency’s methods don’t even leave any escape route. They are not only ruthless, but also heartless.”
Li Ming just smiled lightly when he heard this: “I didn’t take the initiative to provoke you.”
Listening to Qinglong’s rather shameless words, the prophet only had eight words in his mind, “Be a bitch and you have to build a memorial arch.”
At this point, her words couldn’t help but become a bit colder: “In that case, why do you still need to negotiate to put Fusi back? Is this a threat to us?”
“No, no, no…” Li Ming shook his head: “I still have what you want in my hand, so we can naturally talk about it. As for the desire witch, I can only ask you to say sorry for me.”
“You can definitely use a more civilized and honest method. There is no need to secretly send an S-class life form, which will make me uneasy.”
“Are you willing to take out Li Ming’s seeds?” The prophet ignored the second half of the sentence.
“I can consider it, but I want to know why you ask for Li Ming’s seeds.” Then, he emphasized: “What I want is the truth, not prevarication.”
The prophet became more and more aware of Qinglong’s cunning, but she had anticipated it beforehand.
The prophet made a shocking statement: “Your Excellency Qinglong, let’s cooperate and find the Star of Eternal Silence together.”
cooperate?
This sudden proposal surprised Li Ming, but he did not comment, “Where is your sincerity?”
The prophet immediately said: “The reason why we need Li Ming is because we need life forms with development potential of level 50. We have a way to perfectly inherit Li Ming’s extremely high development potential and raise future generations to level 50.”
“Level 50?” Li Ming thought, the requirement to control the holy elephant is also level 50, as if level 50 is some kind of threshold.
“Then, by sacrificing this life form with level 50 development potential, we can use some method to find the Star of Eternal Silence.”
Sacrifice a life form with development potential at level 50?
Li Ming was also stunned subconsciously. This has the potential to become an X-level life form.
Just sacrifice it? So how powerful is the Star of Eternal Silence?
This was also a question he wanted to be curious about, but didn’t ask.
Regarding the whereabouts of the Star of Eternal Silence, it was okay that he didn’t know. It would be wrong if he didn’t even know its function.
Li Ming didn’t believe it for the first time. After all, it was just one-sided words. After thinking for a moment, he said: “Let me think about it and give you a reply after a while.”
After he said that, he was about to end the communication. Who could have imagined that the prophet asked again at the last moment, “Does your Excellency know the name Talos?”
Talos? Did they really meet that guy?
Li Ming pondered and said calmly, “Taros? Never heard of it.”
“Okay.” The prophet ended the communication, and Li Ming began to review things habitually, passing through many thoughts, and gradually formed a context in his mind.
No matter what they need the seeds for, I always have to pay for the seeds first. As for how to use them later, it is not up to them.
In this conversation, the prophet seemed to have told a lot of information, but Li Ming was sure that what they told was definitely not the core secret.
For example, about the loss of the Everlasting Star, he believed that the Pioneers must know about it, and the Star Abyss Empire also knew about it.
Over the years, there will always be a few people who know.
But what he said later, sacrificing level 50 development potential seemed ambiguous, more like a way to dispel his concerns.
Obtaining seeds has a high priority, so Fushi and even Adas can be ignored for the time being.
cooperate? Sacrifice?
As he speculated in his mind, elements rippled on the surface of his skin again, and his thoughts gradually fell silent.
A few days later, relevant information about the central world finally circulated on the Black Hole Network.
One person who claimed to have witnessed it claimed that he was detained, scrutinized, and beaten by multiple forces in the central world.
According to him, this person was wanted in the interstellar space.
When he went to the Holy Elephant of Domination and found a device to detect the mimic mask, he also turned around and left, preparing to leave the central world as soon as possible.
But when he went to get the spaceship, he was found by the investigators, detained directly, and his identity was confirmed.
If he didn’t have some brains and connections, it would be difficult for him to get out.
“That’s a big pit. Several major empire-level civilizations and the interstellar alliance took this opportunity to hunt down wanted people in order to make meritorious deeds.”
He was still complaining there, which attracted ridicule.
“Don’t you know what you did? Do you really think you are innocent?”
Li Ming was browsing when a hurried knock on the door sounded. Robin walked in without waiting for his response, and his face changed and said: “The inspection soldiers are here, downstairs.”
“I have agreed with the hotel owner that if any soldiers come to find us, let us know in advance.”
Li Ming’s eyes moved slightly, and he didn’t care.
Robin seemed restless, “Should we find a way to leave first?”
Li Ming motioned him to be quiet, and after waiting for a while, there was a knock on the door, short and soothing.
Li Ming opened the door, and outside stood a team of soldiers wearing blue combat armor, with a faint blue light flowing on the surface, the helmet part was streamlined, and the transparent mask flashed data and tactical information,
The shoulders and elbows were inlaid with micro-thrusters and weapon interfaces. The leader was a Class B life form, holding a laser gun, with a cold look in his eyes: “Brown, Nit.”
He called out the disguised names of the two and said in a deep voice: “According to the [Temporary Joint Review Regulations], the identities of the two are now being checked. Please do not resist and show your identity certificates.”
Li Ming turned aside and seemed very cooperative: “Please come in.”
Seeing that he was so cooperative, the expressions of the team members also relaxed, and they filed in.
Robin was extremely alert and ready to take action at any time.
After closing the door, he saw that the expressions of the people in front of him suddenly became extremely dull.
Li Ming said calmly: “We have already reviewed it here. There is no problem with these two identities.”
The leader nodded, “Yes, there is no problem.”
He took out the smart terminal and made some comments.
Robin was dumbfounded. The housekeeper was also surprised. He said, “He actually has psychic abilities.”
The reviewing soldiers walked out of the room blankly. After the door was closed, they suddenly woke up.
The team members looked at each other. The leader frowned, looked back and forth, and glanced at the time. He was soon interrupted by the reminder of the next task. He said in a deep voice: “Let’s go.”
In the room, Robin was stunned, “Is it solved so easily?”
“Not simple.” The housekeeper explained for him, “The development progress of the B-level life form exceeds 60%, and it can directly control him. The psychic ability must be at the A-level level.”
Robin was secretly shocked. Could it be that Li Ming is also an A-level psychic? How is this possible?
He couldn’t figure it out.
