This is not mechanical ascension.

"There is a wave of demonstrations within the empire--" Li Ming continued to read the news. This counterattack was more violent than he imagined.

The headquarters of the Interstellar Alliance has received more than a thousand attack warnings, and many life forms even came to block the door and sit-in demonstrations.

However, once this hole is opened, it will be difficult to sew it up again, no matter whether it is successful or not.

More than one big boss has publicly declared support, including several well-known private media companies in the interstellar world, Giant Shield Company, Leiden United Chamber of Commerce, etc. Even the names of the ten founders of the United Organization of Higher Life Forms have not been announced. There is a tendency towards confrontation.

"Adam is so incredible. These people got on the empire's pirate ship for no reason." Li Ming couldn't help but sigh,

Helping the United Organization of Higher Life Forms is almost equivalent to helping the empire.

In a turbulent situation where a prince was involved in an interstellar massacre and the foreign troops were completely withdrawn, not many civilizations interfered with it.

Who are the ten founding people and what qualifications they have to be invited by the empire? This has aroused unprecedented curiosity.

Even Reinnitz is not one of them. This man has a high reputation on the Star Network and is known as the Sacred Heart Scholar.

He has solved epidemics for many civilizations free of charge, and is also the rotating chairman of the non-civilized medical organization under the Interstellar Alliance.

Many people had speculated that he was one of the ten, but he recently revealed that he was not one of them, and that he was neutral on the creation of the United Organization of Higher Life Forms.

There is even news that he privately stated that the emergence of such an organization may not be a bad thing, and it may break the monopoly of the imperial civilization on interstellar resources.

Li Ming watched for a while before opening the Black Hole Network and using Qinglong's account to unite with someone.

[The other party has unfriended you. Do you want to add the friend again? 】

"Ah?" Li Ming was slightly stunned, looking at the feedback on the Black Hole web page, "Delete it for me?"

"That's not true. Haven't I tricked you a few times? Is the Holy Mother Cult so brave?" Li Ming muttered, lost in thought: "What was the reason for tricking them last time?"

"Oh, Terrax Holy Castle, is it because you discovered that I personally sold a copy?"

He snorted, there were only a few forces that owned the Stone of Terrax.

Now the only ones with bargaining chips to trade were the Sisters. He originally planned to use the whereabouts of the Star of Eternal Silence to trade with the other party.

I added an application and remarked "I have important news." There was no response for a while. The other party must have really made up his mind and ignored whatever he said.

In the Holy Mother Cult's lair, the Holy Mother looked at the friend application on the virtual screen. She couldn't help but sneered, raised the palms stacked on her lower abdomen, pinched them, and then her eyes fell on the prophet in front of her.

Ripples appeared in the void. The prophet seemed to be in extreme pain. The surface of his body was vaguely scattered. There was a blue gem between his eyebrows, and streams of particles that were invisible to the naked eye poured into it.

"Huh-" After an unknown amount of time, the prophet suddenly opened his eyes. The blue gem glowed brightly, and a figure seemed to appear vaguely, but it quickly disappeared.

"Okay." The prophet looked pale and looked at the blue gem. "As long as Li Ming comes into contact with this gem,

With his level as an A-level life form, he can be easily controlled and harvested. "

"Okay." The Holy Mother nodded with an indifferent expression: "Before, Qinglong took too much energy, and this guy is not prepared to cooperate with us at all."

"Isn't his Mechanical Royal Court recruiting from outside? Find a good talent and lurk inside."

In this increasingly turbulent interstellar situation, a few days later, two master craftsmen from the Mechanics Association came to the Mechanical King's Court.

This time I came through the official channels of the royal court after being notified and getting permission.

"Your Excellency Reynolds, the master of creation." Li Ming walked into the reception room and greeted.

Reynolds nodded. The carrier seemed to be a mimic template, tall and stocky.

Are they so close?

The creative master glanced at them and said, "Just call me Mikhail."

"Your Excellency Mikhail." Li Ming nodded, feeling baffled.

"Does your teacher have time? We have something urgent to discuss with him." Mikhail went straight to the topic and didn't want to talk to Li Ming.

"This -" Li Ming hesitated, and Reynolds' carrier said solemnly: "It's indeed an emergency." Okay. "Li Ming nodded, his face moved slightly, Tan Wei suddenly appeared on the surface of his body, his eyes lit up, Qinglong came online, his voice contained electromagnetic fluctuations, "What's the emergency? "

Mikhail hesitated, his mechanical eyes full of scrutiny, but he felt that Li Ming should not dare to pretend to be his teacher, so he said in a deep voice: "The empire is going to attack the Mechanics Association."

"Attack on the Mechanics Association?" Li Ming thought about it. He had heard it talked about by the Founder last time, so he wasn't surprised. He just said:

"Aren't they worried enough about the United Organization of Higher Life Forms?"

"The purpose of attacking the Mechanics Association is to solve the problem of the United Organization of Higher Life." Mikhail's voice sounded a bit gritted.

"Huh?" Li Ming was puzzled for the first time, but he vaguely felt that there was something in his heart, and it seemed that it was about to come out. Mikhail didn't care, the mechanical pupils of the carrier flashed, and said in a deep voice: "At the moment, although the Federation is waiting for Wen Wenming's attitude is extremely tough, and he even vaguely said that he would not hesitate to fight.

"But one of the three major civilizations already supports the joint organization of higher life forms. Together with those higher life forms, it is enough to resist the pressure from the outside."

"It is even said that the greater the pressure, the more united they become. These noisy civilizations are nothing more than not eating meat, and the empire has taken all the benefits. Naturally, they are not willing to accept it."

At this point, Mikhail became even more angry: "And what the empire is prepared to use to deal with them is the Mechanics Association!"

"It's all the fault of that old elephant who insisted on causing us trouble before he died. If it hadn't been for him, we wouldn't have had to fight against the empire."

"The empire is ready to take action on us and decided to cut our piece of the cake, barely able to shut the mouths of their people."

Li Ming frowned at this moment. Halfway through, he already understood, that is to say, the accusation of commanding the holy elephant.

Did this pave the way for the empire in disguise?

How do you feel—·

Mikhail's expression was extremely ugly, "Adam---it's really not to be underestimated. That pioneer is really useless. He made a big splash, but in fact it didn't cause much harm."

He glanced at the mecha carrying Qinglong's consciousness and said solemnly: "This is a life-or-death moment for the Mechanics Association. Only if we join forces can we have any chance of surviving the crisis."

But Li Ming's heart suddenly palpitated, and he could no longer hear what was said behind him.

Mikhail's words were like thunder piercing the sky, slamming into his mind and causing monstrous flames.

Emotions surged in his heart, and the feeling that was about to come out suddenly exploded, and the expression on the face under the mecha became very exciting.

"So, from the beginning, all the Pioneer's plans actually did not cause any damage to the empire, or they were all paving the way for the follow-up."

"Revealing the death of the Broken Hammer forced the Mechanics Association to confront the Empire. At the time, it seemed like the first shot, but now it seems that it was preparing for the United Organization of Advanced Lifeforms."

"The Polk Declaration is grand, but in fact, the ultimate direction is to return to the sea of ​​stars and eliminate the garrison. But this is the purpose of the empire."

"The Ryan incident should be an interlude, which greatly accelerated the empire's plan to shrink."

Who are the organizers and pilots of these plans?

No, an idea suddenly flashed in Li Ming's mind. The one who suffered the blood was most likely him!

Mikhail's words were like the last piece of a puzzle. More and more connections were revealed in his mind, and a lot of information was integrated by him.

"Within the Pioneers, any member who wanted to contact the Empire was killed. It was the Bloodfallen who tipped off the news. However, in reality, the Empire did not need tips from ordinary members, because there are core and high-level people who already have their people."

"Last time, the empire's handling of Ryan was well documented. I guessed they had spies inside."

Li Ming was secretly stunned. All the Pioneer's plans had superficial losses.

But in fact, it is very consistent with what some people really think.

"We and the enemy have the same origin, so we will bleed." Li Ming was almost certain that his guess was correct.

The list of people Abel had given him ran through his mind, "This guy isn't on the list."

Li Ming's eyes lit up, and a figure appeared in front of him.

"Adam!"

The Holy Emperor of Glory, the nominal supreme head of the empire.

Even Li Ming was surprised by this guess.

But from the information he knew, there was a high probability that Adam was a Bloodshedder, or that a Bloodshedder must report directly to him. There was no essential difference between the two.

Once this speculation emerged, it linked up almost everything the pioneers were currently doing.

"Clean up the old empire and rebirth from the ashes. Those losses on the surface are rotten meat and have not affected Adam's interests at all. If the centralization of power is completed, the power Adam can control will be many times higher than it is now."

Li Ming couldn't help but marvel. In the matter of Ryan, he saw Adam's extraordinary skill.

And it was discovered at that time that the empire had already predicted Ryan's incident.

But he didn't expect that the other party was more powerful than he imagined.

Create an enemy that is completely under his control and that is moderately threatening. As his knife, as the core of both parties, he can accurately control how to strike.

"Qinglong?"

Mikhail shouted, looking at Qinglong who was always silent, feeling a little dissatisfied.

He spoke impassionedly here, but Qinglong didn't react at all, which was really embarrassing.

"Sorry, I just thought of something." Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Although there was no evidence, he felt that his speculation was very close to the truth.

Thinking through these things made him feel invigorated, even better than a fight.

"If I hadn't been able to gather the Empire, the Pioneers, and the Mechanics Association, it would probably be impossible to deduce the core information of these three parties."

There is a lot of information that is not connected to each other, such as when he contacted the Empire and told them that Ryan caused the interstellar massacre.

The decision made by Adam is one of the strong evidences. From the outside world, this is more like an agreement reached between Qinglong and the Empire, rather than a unilateral proposal by the Empire.

"The Bloodfaller——Adam, then why did you push me to the stage?" Li Ming thought again.

If the Bloodfallen represents Adam, then his behavior in the Iron Throne Hall last time is even more difficult to understand.

"Qinglong!" Mikhail's voice was much louder, thinking that Qinglong did this on purpose.

The last time I came here, I was unwilling to give up the benefits.

As a result, I had to come to him this time. This guy's attitude was just to embarrass him deliberately.

"I'm sorry, what did you say?" Li Ming came to his senses again and suppressed the matter for the time being.

"We need to cooperate!" Mikhail took a deep breath. This was the third time he said this.

"Cooperate." Li Ming mused, wondering if he was acting this way: "You two also know that although I have the reputation of being a master craftsman, I haven't joined the Machinists Association for a long time, so to be honest, I don't have any feelings."

"What do you want?" Mikhail said bluntly.

It seemed that the critical moment had indeed come, so Li Ming said: "Twenty or thirty yuan for the ether crystal."

The expression of Reynolds' carrier body changed a bit, but Mikhail refused directly: "It is impossible for me to provide such direct benefits."

Confrontation is a long process. You can't come to Qinglong for help every time and have to pay all kinds of things. No matter how rich your family is, you can't bear this kind of torment.

"Then what do you want?" Li Ming also figured it out. This guy seemed to have an idea.

Mikhail said solemnly, "We can let go of the arms market in the Chaos Star Gap, help the Mechanical Royal Court gain a foothold in other civilizations, and provide all the help we can."

After listening, Li Ming suddenly realized that he was going to be tied to the chariot of the Mechanics Association. The binding of interests is the most indestructible front of cooperation.

When harming the interests of the Mechanics Association is equivalent to harming one's own interests, the greatest original driving force can be unleashed, just like Mikhail.

However, for Li Ming, it was not impossible. He could only take advantage of the situation. Under normal circumstances, it would be extremely difficult for Mikhail to make such a concession.

Not to mention helping him, he might even have to suppress him secretly.

"Two hundred billion free loans, all channels must be opened for me, and I want the most preferential treatment - a few more Terrax stones." Li Ming thought for a moment and asked for more.

Mikhail's face changed slightly. Li Ming's condition was no longer support, but lying on their bodies to suck blood.

Not long ago, Qinglong cooperated with the Empire to directly expose the matter of the Ryan Interstellar Massacre, although this incident also confirmed to him that Qinglong was not Levin Baker.

But the information he had researched for a long time turned into nothing and was of no use.

Thinking of this, he became more and more unhappy and said in a deep voice: "I can agree to everything you said, but how are you going to support the Mechanics Association? Are you going to use this Mechanical Royal Court, or are you just going to write a couple of statements on the Star Network?"

Reynolds was silent, more like a display.

Responsibilities and rights are equal. The pressure faced by the Machinists Association is not ordinary, and it is not comparable to Ryan.

Without enough force, no one would care too much.

"I am one of the ten." Li Ming said calmly.

After the words fell, Mikhail was still a little confused, and then the mechanical pupils suddenly dilated, and the processor ran at high speed, "You---you are one of the ten founders of the United Organization of Advanced Life Forms?"
