This is not mechanical ascension.

Kay seemed to be really frightened. He took two steps back, took a few deep breaths, calmed down, crossed his hands, and said respectfully in a special gesture: "Thank you for saving me."

Yaro nodded with satisfaction: "That's good enough."

Unexpectedly, Kai put down his hands and said: "But I really have to go back."

"What are you going to find?" Li Ming asked directly.

Kai was startled and looked at Li Ming as if he had seen a ghost, "How do you know?"

"Idiot." Ya Luo was speechless, "You are so anxious to go back, it should not be because you are nostalgic for the time when you were tortured, it is probably because something on your body was taken away by the plunderers."

"Exiled nobles like you have a lot of good things on you."

Kay hesitated and finally said helplessly: "Yes, something was indeed taken away by the plunderers, it is very important to me, so..."

"It's impossible to go back." Ya Luo shook his head, "We are extremely lucky to be able to escape, so many fleets and two B-level life forms, after going back, we really can't get out."

Hearing him say this, Kai was hit hard, staggered back, his eyes red, and tears shed: "Father, father..."

That thing wouldn't be just some kind of symbolic family inheritance item, Li Ming frowned, and couldn't ask.

Seeing this, Ya Luo was also curious and asked, "What did you lose?"

Li Ming raised his eyebrows.

"Nothing..." Kai shook his head and did not explain too much. After a moment of silence, he said, "Can you turn on the gene inhibitor on me?"

Just as Ya Luo was about to take action, Li Ming shook his head, "No, we know nothing about your origin, personality, and purpose. If you turn on the gene inhibitor, what if you do something unfavorable to us?"

Yaro hesitated after hearing this. Kai did not seem to be mentally stable.

Kay wanted to say something but stopped, but in the end he did not force it. For the time being, his life was not in danger. It didn't matter whether he turned it on or not.

After jumping a distance, the spacecraft stopped. After waiting for about half an hour, Li Ming used the key card to obtain the highest authority of the spacecraft.

After the spacecraft restarted, he quickly cut off all remote contacts and positioning data.

While browsing the spacecraft log, he turned on his smart terminal at the same time. When he was on that planet, in order to avoid being detected by the signal, he never took it out.

When he opened it, he frowned. A large amount of information was refreshed on the background of the Star Network. Many people sent him messages.

At the top was Ford, with more than 99 unread messages, most of which were communication links and interspersed with text questions.

"What happened?" Li Ming took a quick look, found a small room, and called back.

After the call was quickly connected, Ford opened his mouth with a burst of rapid-fire, "What the hell are you..."

Li Ming ended the call expressionlessly, and Ford called back a moment later, but Li Ming didn't answer.

After another time, he finally answered and said lightly: "If you keep swearing, don't talk."

Fred was obviously holding back, and after a long silence, he said: "Asmara is out of control!"

Even across the screen, Li Ming could feel Ford's gnashing tone.

"What's going on?" Li Ming frowned slightly, and Old Wu was still following Asmara.

"I just found out not long ago that Asmara was in such a hurry to leave because one of her laboratories was attacked. The attacker was also a torch, and it seemed that very critical experimental data was stolen." Ford explained quickly.

"It's really this." Li Ming's heart skipped a beat, and he mourned for Old Wu, and at the same time put Asmara on the must-kill list.

"Bazak, her subordinate, betrayed, and has not been found yet..."

"Who?" Li Ming was slightly stunned.

"Bazak, Asmara's capable general." Ford was suspicious: "You seem to be surprised?"

Not Old Wu? Li Ming pondered in his heart.

Seeing that Li Ming did not respond, Ford continued: "Asmara suspected that the attack on his laboratory was related to the death of Isius, so she is now taking over this matter and requires all the people present to go to the Itlan civilization."

"If you don't go, you will be her enemy."

This is too simple and crude, Li Ming couldn't help but sigh.

"Hurry back." Ford urged: "She specifically named you."

"Huh?" Li Ming was surprised, Ford explained: "Why did you leave? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it's not just her, the top brass is also somewhat dissatisfied with you. Are you running away because you're afraid of being involved in the vortex?"

"I can't go back." Li Ming shook his head decisively and sent a message. Ford was silent for a while, and said angrily: "Do you think Asma is a fool? Kidnapping letter?"

Li Ming's tone was casual: "Just give this to her, just say I was kidnapped, if she is willing to spend 1 billion to redeem me, I will go back."

Fred said tiredly: "It's useless, I know you want to go to the Land of Stars, but that place is not safe either. The top brass has organized a joint fleet, and more than 20 civilizations have responded."

"It's huge in scale, and the Torch Organization's headquarters is likely to be in the Land of Stars. This time there is a blood feud, and it will not be easily let go. Why do you want to do it?"

"You can't really go into interstellar exile, do you still want to continue to evolve?"

Joint fleet? Li Ming was not too surprised and nodded: "Thank you for the reminder. If you have any more information, remember to tell me in advance."

"I'm not sending you information..." Ford said loudly, and Li Ming had ended the communication.

Itlan has been suffering from the Torch for a long time. Whether it is taking advantage of the situation or being really angry, he must want to get rid of this cancer again. Even if it will revive, it will always be calm for a while.

But he didn't expect that Asmara still missed him, which made him flattered.

After thinking for a while, he walked out of the room and found that Yaluo was like a pervert, touching everywhere, and was very excited: "Tsk tsk, worthy of being a member of the royal family, he really knows how to enjoy it."

"Turbulent massage swimming pool, fully wrapped high-end bed, all kinds of entertainment facilities, even the fucking bathtub has holographic equipment around it, which can be directly connected to the outside starry sky, it's so fucking high-end!"

Li Ming asked: "How long is it from here to the Land of Stars?"

"It's closer here. Enter from the seventh channel. It's the territory of the "collector". It will take at most half a month." Yaluo pondered.

"Half a month..." Li Ming nodded, and temporarily developed in the Land of Stars for a while.

When he develops to a B-level life form, various control objects will advance in parallel, and even the concept of the mechanical army will take shape, so there is no need to be afraid of Asmara or even Itlan.

The Land of Stars should not lack evolution theory or the like, but his C-level gene seed is the wind and thunder element, and he must contain these two elemental gene seeds before he can use them.

Moreover, he can consume the liberation secret record to liberate the gene form without risk, which is a very powerful ability.

However, he can only liberate one form at a time, and it is useless to master too many.

The Lord of the Fierce Wind is definitely not as good as the Emperor of Flame and Thunder, but it feels a bit wasteful to leave it like this.

The universe is so big, can't the liberated forms be superimposed? His thoughts diverge, which can be called whimsical.

Yaluo reminded: "Before going in, it's better to change the appearance of this spaceship a little, otherwise it will be easily recognized."

"Are you familiar with the place?"

"The Guches Shipyard is in the collector's territory, and it is very tight-lipped." Yaluo said.

"Let's go there." Li Ming nodded. After assigning the rooms, he took out the nutrient solution from the frozen storage box of Duke Bai Ye.

The packaging was extremely delicate, and the green branches and leaves of plastic gold wrapped the entire metal tube.

This was a B-level nutrient solution. The nutrients were too rich, so it was diluted to ten parts.

After saying hello, Li Ming went to develop the gene progress.

"Developing gene seeds again, so perverted." Ya Luo sighed, and recalled the various dangerous events on the planet, and his heart couldn't help but surge with some blood.

But three minutes later, he was lying in the holographic bathtub, surrounded by the flowing starry sky, and he exhaled freely.

"What a rubbish life I lived before."

Ten days passed in a flash. At first, Yaluo was very curious, but after getting used to it, it was just like that.

Kay had no sense of existence on the ship. He couldn't say a word for three days. He didn't take off the gene inhibitor and didn't give him a smart terminal. Except for the freedom of movement, he was no different from a prisoner.

That day, in Yaluo's room, he was watching the interstellar program boredly. His smart terminal suddenly vibrated violently. Yaluo glanced at the code name and his expression suddenly became serious.

This was his superior. They had always had a single-line contact. Only the other party could contact him, and he couldn't contact the other party.

However, as soon as the call was connected, the other party asked in a hurried tone that he had never heard before: "Yaro, where are you?"

Yaro was stunned and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

The other party said in a low voice: "Two days ago, we received news that Duke Bai Ye of the Sera civilization and Atom, a B-level cadre of the Star Hunter, both died on an unknown planet."

"What!?" Yaro jumped up from the bed in shock and said in horror: "They are both dead!?"

"That's right, do you know something? They both came to that planet to track down the goods. According to the information we know, there are two people on that planet." The other party couldn't stop asking:

"One of them is a B-level life form with strong strength. He should be the one who killed Bai Ye and Atom. The other information is vague."

Yaro's heart was in turmoil. Until just now, he thought Li Ming had escaped from Bai Ye and Atom by luck.

There were several times when he was thankful for his good luck, but he didn't expect that Li Ming actually killed both of them. No wonder there was the key card of Duke Bai Ye.

For a moment, he was confused.

"Yaro, who are those two people? One of them, is it you?" The other party was still asking

"I..." Ya Luo hesitated, and then shook his head: "I don't know."

"You don't know?" The other party was suspicious, "Yaro, knowing and not reporting is a serious crime."

"Fuck, I risked my life to complete that emergency mission, and you still threaten me?" Ya Luo said dissatisfiedly.

The other party's tone eased, "It's not a threat, don't worry, many people are tracking this person, Kai may also be taken away by this person, if you have any news about him, remember to report."

After ending the communication, Ya Luo frowned and felt an inexplicable toothache.

He originally wanted to report the matter of finding Kai, but now he can't report it. A C-level life form killed two B-level life forms, which sounds scary.

"They were all killed. How horrible." Yaluo pondered, but was secretly shocked. The sudden knowledge of the truth made him unable to concentrate and think, and he could not calm down for a long time.

Five or six days later, outside the porthole, a red ribbon that almost penetrated the universe and had no end in sight was getting closer and closer.

This is the Red River Star Stream, a cosmic wonder with unknown origins that penetrates a large number of star clusters.

They carefully crossed a meteorite belt, followed the traces and turned left and right, and came to a mechanical factory built on several meteorites.

The workers here did not have any extra questions. They just assessed the difficulty of the transformation, quoted a price, and paid the money.

This transformation required a full 3.56 million star coins, and only accepted transactions on the black hole network. No one cared about their identity and origin, and they paid money to do the work.

As Ya Luo said, this group of people are indeed experts. They made a big change in the spacecraft in two or three days.

Many conspicuous features were removed, and many accessories were added. The color was changed to a color scheme with black and red as the auxiliary.

The Land of Stars is already in sight. The place they are going to is called "Collector's Cabinet", commonly known as the Trading Island.

It is a small land plate. After transformation, it is loaded with a large number of equipment and even forms a regionalized atmospheric environment.

There are many such interstellar islands, large and small, scattered throughout this area, with no end in sight, together forming the Land of Stars.

The architectural style of the Trading Island is rough, forming a city. Looking down from the sky, it is staggered and barbaric.

There is no sun or moon in the sky, only colorful neon lights illuminate this place. There are countless hideous modified spaceships docked at the dock, and there is no platform for warships to dock.

After completing the docking procedures, there are few safe areas here, and the dock is one of them. It is protected by the A-level life form, the collector, so the docking fee is also ridiculously high.

If it expires without renewal, it will not be expelled, but directly confiscated.

When stepping into the island, Li Ming's development progress has reached 10%. In addition to the three of them, there are two figures wearing black robes, one big and one small.

Life forms of various races can be seen everywhere on the street, but humans are not common.

The air is filled with noisy murderous intent and bloody smell, which makes people's hair stand up.

"The collector is an A-level life form, he is not a predator, so this area is mainly a trading area, with all kinds of goods."

"The collector likes to collect all kinds of strange things. Compared with other places, this place is relatively safe and can stay for a while."

Yaro introduced him that the land of stars is full of good and bad people, and they want to monopolize a floating island and have their own territory.

At least they have to be senior B-class life forms, with a development progress of more than 90%, and they have to have someone to support them and a big tree to lean on.

And if they want to truly have prestige and set rules, they have to become A-class life forms.

A-class life forms have a very high status in any civilization. Most of the A-class life forms here are not stranded here, but their own choice.

Here, as long as they don't break the rules, or in other words, have the power to fight against the rules.

They can vent violence, rob, kill and be killed, it's not a big deal.

Yaluo introduced in a low voice, and there were many malicious eyes around them looking at them. Li Ming suddenly pulled the corner of his mouth, "Why do I feel like I'm at home?"
