Fortunately, My Clones Can Be Deployed to Myriad Worlds Chapter 815: First Clues

The Pioneer Chief's desertion before battle indeed surprised him sowhat, but it wasn't a major issue.

With his previous tracking thods, he could constantly lock onto the other party's location.

He had quite a few similar little gadgets, such as Ron's Batarang, Satellite Positioning, and so on.

Although they couldn't provide frontal Strength support, they were still very useful in other aspects.

The Infinity Gauntlet clenched, and the entire star fortress below was frozen in the Void. He could even see so fired Energy Cannons suspended in the Interstellar.

This was to avoid the Connection Device here from being destroyed; after all, self-destruct devices and the like were basically Standard Issue for every Base.

He casually ford a few Magic Runes and covered them on the Corporeal Form left behind by the Pioneer Chief. Black Chains crisscrossed and finally connected to his body, Vanishing Completely.

Then, he focused his gaze on that ball of gray mist.

He could clearly sense that Silver Shadow's Life Aura was gradually decaying. It shouldn't take long before he completely lost his life signs.

The offensive capability of the Annihilation Device was evident.

However, since the Pioneer Chief fled before the battle, leaving Silver Shadow alone made it very difficult for him to pose any threat.

Under these circumstances, he wasn't in a hurry to kill the other party.

With a casual wave, the gray mist gradually dispersed. Silver Shadow's body had been eroded until it was Riddled With Holes, and it had reverted to its original form, looking like a silvery-white sphere.

Li Yu sized up Silver Shadow: "You look quite similar to the people from the Creator Civilization, but looking at your style of doing things, it doesn't quite match the records in the docunts."

As the gray mist gradually dissipated completely, Silver Shadow also regained his autonomous consciousness and mimicked an interstellar human again, looking at Li Yu in the oxygen bubble.

Before he even had ti to observe the surrounding situation, he shouted and asked: "Why can you control the power of the Annihilation Device? Who exactly are you? Are you an Overseer?"

Li Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, then nodded and said: "You guessed right. I do indeed have so relationship with the Overseers."

Hearing this, Silver Shadow stared intently at Li Yu. A mont later, he suddenly sneered: "No, you can't possibly have any relationship with them!"

"Don't think you can Con !"

Li Yu had originally intended to Con the other party a bit, but seeing this posture, he couldn't be bothered to pretend anymore, and said directly: "Forget it, let's not say so much. Do you want to die or live?"

"If you want to live, tell everything you know. If you want to die, I'll send you on your way right now."

For this kind of Super Lifeform, no amount of torture would be effective; it was better to lay the cards on the table and threaten him directly.

"Where's Stellar Spark? Did he run away?" Silver Shadow looked around, only then rembering to look for his teammate.

But to his disappointnt, there were hardly any traces of battle around, let alone Stellar Spark, whose consciousness had already detached from here.

"He sold you out without hesitation," Li Yu said.

Silver Shadow sneered coldly, not surprised either, and said: "As expected. This guy has many secrets and has always been hiding things from ."

"So, your answer?" Li Yu hefted the Titan Giant Axe, looking as if he was ready to hack down at any mont.

"Even if I don't die, you probably wouldn't let go, right?" Silver Shadow asked in return.

Li Yu fell silent. Obviously, no matter what, it was impossible for him to let Silver Shadow leave easily.

Even if he cooperated honestly, he would still be imprisoned.

Both sides had this understanding, so deceiving each other was useless.

Silver Shadow also didn't mind and said: "You seem to want to know so information from . Just so happens, I also have so doubts that need you to answer."

"How about this: we ask each other questions, trading question for question."

Li Yu didn't agree imdiately. Instead, he stared at the other party sowhat suspiciously: "What use do you have for this information? You should know you can't leave."

"Pure curiosity..." Silver Shadow looked at Li Yu with a calm expression. "You don't understand the impact of the Annihilation Device. I really want to know how exactly you mastered it."

"However, I won't answer so of your questions, so you decide what to do. Otherwise, just kill directly. Anyway, when I crossed the Barren Universe Zone, I was already prepared to die."

Silver Shadow didn't fear death and even looked very calm about it.

Li Yu pondered for a mont and nodded: "Alright, I'll go first. Are you really soone from the Creator Civilization..."

To prevent the other party from not understanding, Li Yu also thoughtfully explained: "The Creator Civilization is the civilization that fought against the Titan Civilization."

"Creator Civilization... A good codena..." Silver Shadow muttered a few words and said: "That's right, I indeed co from that civilization."

"My turn. How did you master the power of the Annihilation Device?" Silver Shadow directly asked this question.

"I fused with the Gene Chain of the Creator Civilization, then advanced to a Super Lifeform, and thereby controlled this power." Li Yu also answered, but this answer clearly couldn't satisfy Silver Shadow, who frowned deeply.

And Li Yu also asked: "How is the Creator Civilization doing now?"

"I don't want to answer this question..." Silver Shadow shook his head.

"Is the civilization echoing the Connection Device in the outside world also the Creator Civilization..." Li Yu asked again.

"I don't want to answer this question either, change to another one." Silver Shadow continued shaking his head.

Li Yu's expression remained unchanged as he said: "How should a Super Lifeform continue to evolve next?"

"This question..." Before he could finish his sentence, Li Yu interrupted him, saying indifferently: "Then just say what you want to say. I won't ask anymore."

Silver Shadow was stunned. He fell silent for a mont, complex emotions revealing in his eyes, and slowly said:

"The Creator Civilization in your mouth, after the battle with the Titan Civilization, is no longer the previous Creator Civilization. Many things have happened."

Li Yu's heart stirred slightly, and he supplented: "Because the losses were too severe? Or because the Annihilation Device was shattered?"

"The Annihilation Device shattered!?" Silver Shadow blanked slightly, then widened his eyes to look at Li Yu: "Where did you get this news from!?"

"You didn't know?"

This ti, it was Li Yu who was quite surprised.

"No wonder, no wonder we would split..." Silver Shadow seed to have found the answers to so questions, muttering incessantly.

"You split?" Li Yu tightly grasped this word.

Silver Shadow paused and said: "Our thoughts were originally supposed to be highly unified, connected together by the Annihilation Device, with extrely high efficiency and striving upwards with one heart."

"But at so unknown ti, perhaps because of the shattering of the Annihilation Device, this state was broken. The thoughts of our Tribesn developed selfish desires, and a split thus occurred."

So the aftereffects of that war didn't just stop at the level of material losses... It actually caused the Creator Civilization to split from within.

A certain realization dawned in Li Yu's heart.

"Tell in more detail, why can you control the power of the Annihilation Device?" Silver Shadow sorted out his emotions and continued asking.

"I absorbed fragnts of the Annihilation Device from the Fallen Titan's body," Li Yu slightly supplented.

"Fragnts of the Annihilation Device. So it's actually like this..." Silver Shadow digested this for a mont and looked at Li Yu: "You seem very curious about the outside world?"

"It's my turn to ask," Li Yu shook his head.

"I only wanted to know the source of the Annihilation Device's power. The transaction ends here." Silver Shadow shook his head, unwilling to reveal any more information, only showing a hint of a bizarre smile:

"You have too many secrets on you. Better pray you aren't discovered by your so-called Creator Civilization. Even if they've split, it's not sothing a few Super Lifeforms can contend with."

Li Yu stared at him coldly, his hand raising the axe and letting it fall. The terrifying Energy Reaction was forcefully compressed by him into a black sphere, which looked crystal clear.

The split within the Creator Civilization was unexpected news.

Now it seed that the Annihilation Device was not only a terrifying attack weapon, but also an important spiritual pillar linking the entire Creator Civilization.

Once the Annihilation Device shattered, a split occurred within the Creator Civilization.

After pondering for a while, Li Yu began to call his Little Brothers. A large number of Transforrs descended and began to secretly take over this star fortress.

He also dispatched the nearest Transforrs to open a Dinsional Rift near the coordinates where the Pioneer Chief was currently located.

...

anwhile, near the coordinates where the Pioneer Chief was currently located.

This place looked completely Withered, with a teorite belt stretching for tens of millions of kiloters.

This location was far from the Main Civilization Clusters. Even the civilization closest to here would require more than two months of Warp Travel.

It wasn't even certain if any lifeforms had ever set foot here.

Yet in the Deep-Level Space, a giant tallic fortress that no one could discover was hidden. It was shaped like an inverted triangle overall, and in a space without a point of reference, it was almost impossible to discern its specific size.

In a Laboratory within the tallic fortress, the lighting here was dim, and it seed no one had co here for a long ti.

Only the most basic red warning lights were on.

However, at this mont, wisps of morning light shone from the center.

That was a large Glass Observation Column, containing a dark blue stone locked in the center by five prisms.

The morning light precisely emanated from the stone. At first, it was very weak, then gradually beca dazzling, ultimately making it difficult to look at directly.

However, amidst the resplendent radiance, two figures had appeared around the Glass Observation Column at so point, shrouded in black robes.

At the sa ti, the entire Laboratory lit up, and the large screens continuously refreshed with data that was difficult to understand.

"Stellar Spark, has returned..." one of the voices said in a low tone.

"He still dares to return!"

"To dare betray us back then and forcibly fuse with the Titan Artifact Prototype was already committing a grave sin," the other figure said coldly.

"He knows this himself, so he must have hit a dead end to return."

"Let's see what he says first..."

Silence returned here. A few figures similarly dressed in black robes successively walked into the Laboratory and began to operate various Instrunts.

Not long after, a blurred projection erged within the glass column; it was exactly Stellar Spark's consciousness body.

Stellar Spark looked around, seemingly recalling mories about this place.

The surface of his consciousness body rippled slightly, his inner emotions clearly unstable.

"Stellar Spark, you still dare to return!" a black figure shouted.

Stellar Spark looked at the two black-robed figures before him, his consciousness fluctuations appearing very indifferent: "Dies, don't rush to condemn just yet. There's sothing you need to know."

The figure called Dies said coldly: "Don't forget, you are only a Test Subject. Since the mont you chose to betray us, you have already lost the right to speak with us."

"Dies, when I beca a Test Subject, you were just an ordinary Overseer." Stellar Spark's tone was indifferent. These people were rely the descendants of the first-generation Overseers; they weren't enough to make him afraid.

Dies ordered: "Obliterate his consciousness body. I want to see how long you can remain arrogant."

"Wait..." The other figure spoke up, shaking his head. "Don't rush yet. Stellar Spark, I want to know exactly what forced you to a dead end, making you have no choice but to return here."

"Dezang... you..." Dies looked at the other figure.

Stellar Spark seed too lazy to pay attention to Dies and said: "This is a rather long story..."

Next, he told the general story, including Silver Shadow, the Connection Device, and Li Yu's sudden attack...

But just as he ntioned the Connection Device, he was interrupted.

"Stellar Spark!" Dies, having learned the cause and effect, was clearly very angry and rebuked: "You actually didn't notify us of such a major event! That person is very likely sent by our Tribesn!"

"The hope of opening communication with the outside world has fallen short just like that!"

"If I notified you, would I still be alive?" Stellar Spark asked in return, then added: "Although the other party looks very much like your Tribesn, you should also feel that your Ethnic Group is no longer what it used to be."

"The Overseers left behind back then have been continuously splitting. This was impossible in the past, so it's hard to guarantee the situation of the Ethnic Group in the outside world."

"Furthermore, you belong to the Conservative Faction and cannot intervene in interstellar affairs."

"That was in the past..." Dezang shook his head.

"Oh? What happened?" Stellar Spark was slightly stunned.

"Not long ago, the last Radical Faction Overseer perished. According to the Overseer Agreent, the blockade on the Titan Artifacts has also been lifted. We can freely choose our next course of action."

"They were lurking in the God Council!?" Stellar Spark instantly connected it to the mass fall of Councilors and the Supre Forge incident from a while ago.

Dezang didn't answer this question but said: "Next, leave the plan of forging the Connection Device to us."

"But the blueprints are still in the Base. I don't have the blueprints," Stellar Spark shook his head.

"Then go get them," Dies said as if it were a matter of course.

Stellar Spark said aningfully: "I haven't finished speaking just now. Listen to finish before saying anything."

Chapter 816: Monitor Base

Because he was interrupted halfway earlier, Stellar Spark only now managed to relay the information about Li Yu's attack, his becoming a Super Lifeform, and Silver Shadow being enveloped by the gray mist.

But midway through his explanation, Dies showed a tendency to interrupt several tis, only to be stopped by Dezang. It wasn't until Stellar Spark finished that he incessantly repeated the three words, "Impossible."

"How could he control the power of the Annihilation Device? And what's this about a Titan!?" Dies found it difficult to comprehend.

"The Titans died out long ago, and the power of the Annihilation Device is even more impossible to appear here!"

Although they weren't first-generation Overseers, being constantly influenced by what they heard and saw, their reverence for the Annihilation Device was extrely high.

They never expected that there was actually soone in this Interstellar region who could control the power of the Annihilation Device.

"Why would I deceive you?" Stellar Spark explained unhurriedly.

Dezang, on the other hand, was quite calm, saying, "According to your account, his current Strength is extrely powerful."

"That's right. Coupled with that mysterious and unpredictable Other-Dinsional Camp, you are not his match."

Stellar Spark nodded, then imdiately asked, "Do you have any clues about the Other-Dinsional Camp? I've never heard of this organization before."

Dezang and Dies exchanged a glance and shook their heads, "No. Before they popped up, we hadn't heard of them either."

"You don't know either..." Stellar Spark's consciousness body flickered. According to his information sources, the Star Glory Empire couldn't investigate them either, and The Forerunners had no relevant clues.

He originally thought The Overseers would at least have so clues, but it turned out they didn't either.

This powerful organization seed to have Suddenly Appeared out of thin air.

Just then, Dies seed to think of sothing and said in a deep voice, "How did he find the location of your Base? Is there a possibility this place might be exposed?"

Stellar Spark replied, "I suspect Silver Shadow brought him there. Since he shifted the bla for plundering the Titan Artifacts onto Silver Shadow, he definitely would want him dead to ensure no evidence is left behind."

"Perhaps he set his sights on him a long ti ago."

Dezang nodded, then looked up and said, "Thank you for the information. However... now it's ti for you to receive your due punishnt."

As soon as he finished speaking, the five prisms surrounding that stone instantly erupted with purple Lightning Glow. Stellar Spark's consciousness body also instantly dissipated into a mass of dense vapor, from which faint wails could be heard.

This was the treatnt he received, and it would last for a very long ti.

Stellar Spark had anticipated this when he returned, but he had no other choice.

Now he could at least preserve his consciousness body. If he had stayed in that Corporeal Form, probably everything would have Vanished Completely.

Just as the two were preparing to leave, a researcher nearby suddenly spoke up:

"Sirs, his consciousness is a bit strange. I also detected another very weak ntal Fluctuation."

"What do you an?" Dies asked.

"There seems to be another weak consciousness within his consciousness body. This isn't recorded in any of the inherited research data," the researcher added.

"Oh?" A strange light flowed in the eyes of Dezang's mimicked interstellar human form. "Can it be extracted?"

"It's operable..." he nodded.

"Then extract it," Dezang ordered, and nurous researchers began their work.

...

Half a month later, in a certain hidden Star Sector. This place was covered by various cloaking devices, and an even larger number of Transforrs guarded the periphery.

In the central area, thirteen Ancestral Pris stood neatly in a row, varying in height. Their tallic, chanical bodies refracted magnificent colors under the illumination of the surrounding spotlights.

Their "big brother," Primordial Foreseer, had already stepped forward. His body, covered in precise chanical structures, was half-kneeling and suspended in the Starry Sky. His chanical pupils looked with reverence at their supre Overlord.

In Li Yu's hand rested a mass of pitch-black energy matter.

This mass of matter looked extrely eerie, surging with unpredictable fluctuations that slightly distorted and collapsed the surrounding space-ti.

This was the Destruction Pri Matter extracted from the Throne of Ruin.

Things like Source Matter were essentially a highly condensed form of the Cosmic Origin.

And the Cosmic Origin inherently possessed various attributes; it just needed a certain quantity to condense into a tangible state.

It wasn't as if, once the Destruction Pri Matter was extracted, the concept of destruction would cease to exist in the universe.

Li Yu had also attempted to directly Absorb it, but interestingly, he found it very difficult, or rather, the efficiency was extrely low.

If he wanted to completely Absorb this mass of Source Matter, it would take at least several hundred to nearly a thousand years. Even using the Ti Speed Controller, it would take nearly a hundred years.

In the short term, it was more valuable to let an Ancestral Pri advance to a Super Lifeform.

It wouldn't be too late to make plans after he went to the outside world to figure out the specific evolutionary path of Super Lifeforms.

"Are you ready?" Li Yu asked.

"Ready, Heavenly Venerable!" Primordial Foreseer's chanical pupils flashed with a Crimson Glow.

Li Yu casually took out the Covenant of Primus and placed the Destruction Pri Matter onto Primordial Foreseer's corresponding model.

Ding!

[Source Matter Fusion detected. Advancing...]

Suddenly, a stream of black Electric Arcs shot out from the Covenant of Primus, linking onto Primordial Foreseer's body!

In the next second, the chanical components all over Primordial Foreseer's body began to move on their own. The tal Armor on his surface floated and opened and closed like Scale Armor.

Crack—

Li Yu could sense that Primordial Foreseer was undergoing a tamorphosis at the microscopic level.

Those black Electric Arcs frantically spread along the chanical structures within his body, like a neural network, ultimately linking to the most crucial part of a Transforr—the Spark core!

Bang!

As the black Electric Arcs covered his body entirely, a muffled thud ca from within Primordial Foreseer's body!

Hum—

The Spark core underwent violent fluctuations, and streaks of black Electric Arcs extended from his chanical body.

A magnetic field containing the aura of destruction enveloped Primordial Foreseer's body. The chanical structures and components within him began to undergo a tamorphosis.

The black Electric Arcs surged. Under the influence of the special magnetic field outside his body, they rotated around Primordial Foreseer's body, as if turning into several Stellar Rings.

The rotation speed beca faster and faster, whistling loudly, and the light left dreamlike Light Spots on Li Yu's face.

Accompanying this, the Aura he emitted also beca stronger and stronger.

Boom!

Finally, a Black Energy Column erupted from his body and shot into the Deep in the Universe. The tyrannical Aura spread, triggering the alarms of the surrounding Transforrs.

The black Electric Arcs gradually dispersed, and his appearance underwent so changes.

Primordial Foreseer had beco taller and sturdier, with new structures added to many parts. The surface tal Armor had streaks of black Electric Arc patterns, looking extrely magnificent.

A crown-like black crest appeared on his chanical head, and a pitch-black chanical Long Sword appeared on his back.

Li Yu looked him up and down and smiled: "How does it feel?"

"...Thank you, Heavenly Venerable. I feel a new power."

Primordial Foreseer's tone was steady. He touched the chanical Long Sword on his back, and the Energy Fluctuation on his body rose exponentially.

The other Ancestral Pris cast envious glances.

Li Yu surveyed the many Ancestral Pris and said, "Don't worry, everyone will get their share."

"Thank you, Heavenly Venerable!"

The Ancestral Pris half-knelt in the Starry Sky and said in unison.

Actually, it would have been fine even if Li Yu didn't say this. These Ancestral Pris wouldn't harbor resentnt or similar emotions toward him.

However, after all, they were Utterly Loyal Subordinates. Reassuring them wasn't a bad thing.

The Supre Forge was Working Overti. By extracting Source Matter from Titan Artifacts, the efficiency was greatly improved.

Moreover, because it was extracting from Titan Artifacts rather than directly from the Main Universe, the Ti Speed Controller could be used to assist the work.

It would only take about a year of Main Universe ti to extract the Source Matter from a Titan Artifact.

He still had four Titan Artifacts in hand, which would take about four years to process completely.

According to the information he received previously, the interception ability of the Barren Universe Zone was gradually decreasing, and sooner or later, it would be able to accommodate the passage of Super Lifeforms.

He didn't want to be Caught off guard. Coupled with the influence of various factors, he wanted to head to the outside world as soon as possible.

But a four-year delay was still affordable.

"However, there's still one hidden danger that hasn't been dealt with..." Li Yu rubbed his chin.

...

More than a month later, in a certain barren Star Sector, a Dinsional Rift slowly opened, and Li Yu walked out from it.

There was still a long flight ti from here to Stellar Spark's coordinate location.

He just opened the rift here to avoid being discovered, planning to travel the remaining distance on foot.

"Tsk, I wonder if this is The Forerunners' secret Base, or what place it is..." Li Yu pondered inwardly.

Back when Stellar Spark escaped, he was thinking that since The Forerunners and The Overseers were inextricably linked, Stellar Spark's final trump card might be related to The Overseers.

But this was only a guess.

The Overseers were a huge hidden danger to him.

He didn't believe The Overseers only had one Divine Forging Master; otherwise, the Star Glory Empire wouldn't be so extrely Apprehensive of them and carefully hide their Strength.

And he had killed the Divine Forging Master and Silver Shadow, and the Pioneer Chief had even heard the information transmitted by Silver Shadow.

Before leaving this Interstellar region, he definitely had to eliminate these uncertain factors.

Otherwise, when he returned from the outside world, he might only be able to burn incense for Hunter, Mo Duo, Klein, and the others.

As the distance drew closer, he constructed layers of ans to hide his Aura in his surroundings. A Space-Ti Barrier was definitely Standard Issue, plus so Magical ans.

When he arrived at the coordinate location, he could only see a patch of Withered desolation.

This didn't disappoint him. Instead, accompanied by the flickering of the Space Stone, the space in front of him revealed layers of bizarre and grotesque rifts.

After stepping into it, Space Teleportation occurred, and he saw that giant inverted-triangle tallic fortress.

In his field of vision, this thing was even larger than a normal-sized Life Planet, and its architectural style was extrely different from most civilizations.

It was also very different from the Forerunner Base he had seen before.

Li Yu's eyes flickered. He didn't approach this building; instead, he carefully distanced himself a bit.

He casually snapped his fingers, and wisps of Magic Runes flickered, his pupils filled with a massive number of runes.

"Information State mbrane, Ti Lock Barrier, Microscopic Detector, High-Energy Wave State Detection Device... and a massive amount of equipnt I can't understand. The defense is tight."

Li Yu opened his hands and tore out a complex ring of magic patterns. A ferocious eyeball popped out from within, covered in bloodshot veins.

The Reality Stone flickered, and a stream of red particles poured into it, beginning to enhance it.

This was a high-end detection magic, but it obviously couldn't break through the heavy defenses in front of him. However, after being enhanced by the Reality Stone, it was hard to say.

This eyeball emitted a great Crimson Glow, and was enveloped by Magic Symbols.

But a mont later, it suddenly exploded into a large number of symbols and dissipated in the Void, finding nothing at all.

"Still can't break through?" Li Yu was sowhat astonished, and then he could basically be certain that this place was definitely not The Forerunners' Base.

Because that group of guys couldn't construct such powerful defenses.

When he used this thod to detect the Base storing the Connection Device, it was practically infallible.

Except for not detecting the Pioneer Chief, everything else was extrely detailed.

But facing this Base, he couldn't even break through the periphery. If this thing hadn't been enhanced by the Reality Stone, he probably would have been discovered by the other party instead.

"High probability it's the Monitor Base..." Li Yu looked hesitant, pondering whether to force his way in.

But after thinking for a mont, he gave up on this idea.

He also didn't know how many Super Lifeforms were inside or the specific situation. If he were To Suffer an Unexpected Setback, it wouldn't be good.

It would be better to wait until the Source Matter extraction was complete. When the ti ca, with five Super Lifeform-level Primordial Transforrs, combined with the Eternal Core, conservatively estimating, he definitely wouldn't capsize.

As for whether to pull the Star Glory Empire into this?

Li Yu thought about it and decided against it.

Keeping the Star Glory Empire constantly feeling a sense of urgency was quite good; at least they wouldn't stir up any Unexpected Trouble.

Moreover, he guessed that the disappearance of the four known Titan Artifacts was likely inextricably linked to The Overseers.

If he pulled in the Star Glory Empire, when it ca ti to distribute the spoils of war, it it would be difficult to sort things out clearly.

If he killed all of the Star Glory Empire's Super Lifeforms, the Star Glory Empire would definitely disintegrate, which would trigger another interstellar tsunami with chaos and war erupting everywhere.

This wasn't a trouble that could be resolved in a short ti.

The God Council might also co out and stick a foot in, which didn't align with his expected arrangents for this Interstellar region.

The best thing would be to maintain the status quo while he was away, with nothing happening, and talk about it after he returned from the outside.

Just in case, when the ti cos, if five Super Lifeform-level Primordial Transforrs still couldn't defeat The Overseers, it wouldn't be too late to pull in the Star Glory Empire then.

Chapter 817: Small Tricks

"Lord Dragon Sovereign, I'm sorry..."

Ron kept his head down, his face full of sha. Josel stood uneasily beside him, a hint of trepidation in his eyes.

The two looked as if they had done sothing wrong.

anwhile, Li Yu sat on his chanical throne with a placid expression, looking at the Holographic Screen in front of him.

On it, a host with a grave expression was broadcasting a recent event that had caused a huge sensation on the interstellar stage: the "Itran Massacre Event."

The Itran Massacre Event was a horrifying bloodbath that had occurred not long ago in the Itran Civilization.

More than sixteen Life Planets were swept clean by unknown lifeforms, and a massive number of Citizens died unnatural deaths.

According to relevant evidence, the chief culprits were the two guys right in front of him.

During their excavation of ancient ruins, they hadn't followed the Civilization Convention and the Civilization Ruin Excavation Guidelines.

They intentionally guided an ancient chanical Protoplasmic Avatar to head towards the Itran Civilization, thereby causing this bloodbath.

The Itran Civilization expressed strong condemnation of this atrocity, their rhetoric furious, stating they would pursue accountability to the very end.

And with the fueling of those with ulterior motives, the news that Ron and Josel were Dragon Sovereign's Subordinates was spread out, attracting widespread attention.

If it were Marauders attacking Life Planets, that would at most be a regional incident. Interstellar Citizens would at most curse a few tis and then drop it,

And perhaps lant the weak military Strength of the Itran Civilization.

But now, one of the parties involved was suspected to be the subordinates of a Galactic Magnate. Dragon Sovereign was a positive figure holding high Status and great authority, with the A-Tier Alliance in his grasp, and his various deeds having far-reaching impacts.

Over the past few years, he had already beco a symbol of the Interstellar. Anything involving him instantly detonated Public Opinion!

Especially since the Itran Civilization also reported this to the Civilization Alliance in tears, demanding justice be served.

They pressured and demanded accountability from the chief culprits, hoping to initiate an investigation procedure to uncover the truth, which caused the matter to expand even further.

Of course, the Civilization Alliance didn't imdiately accept this Hot potato, but the subsequent surging Public Opinion forced them to declare they would verify the matter.

After all, this involved the deaths of nearly ten billion lifeforms. Even if Dragon Sovereign held high status and imnse Strength, ordinary Citizens wouldn't care.

The deaths of ordinary Citizens had already provoked public outrage, and no one dared to say anything rashly.

If the Civilization Alliance bullied the weak and feared the strong, would there still be any need for their existence?

Emotions needed an outlet. Driven by certain individuals, even though the truth of the matter hadn't been thoroughly investigated yet,

People had already taken sides, and a portion of them directly pointed their spearhead at Dragon Sovereign.

For as many people who worshipped him, there were as many who held hostility towards him.

So questioned why he would accept such tyrannical subordinates.

There were also those who exonerated him, saying the actions of subordinates shouldn't be escalated to the leader.

After all, Dragon Sovereign couldn't possibly monitor what his subordinates were doing all the ti.

But such rhetoric clearly couldn't pacify the emotionally agitated Interstellar Citizens, who demanded Dragon Sovereign hand over the murderers.

To be honest, this demand wasn't excessive. It was just handing over the murderers, and it didn't affect Dragon Sovereign's own interests. At most, it would only damage his internal image sowhat.

But it was also understandable. After all, causing such a huge storm was entirely his subordinates courting death.

Compared to similar other incidents, the Public Opinion this ti was already quite restrained, not demanding Dragon Sovereign to do more.

Because most ordinary Interstellar Citizens also understood that even the Star Glory Empire couldn't coerce Dragon Sovereign; what could they do?

It was just that Dragon Sovereign's past claims were mostly positive images, so they went a bit overboard.

If other Marauders had done this, it wouldn't have caused such a huge storm at all.

Li Yu had long known about this matter and was quite indifferent to the surging Interstellar Public Opinion.

"Lord Dragon Sovereign, hand over!" Ron gritted his teeth, then glanced at Josel and said, "But please save Josel..."

Josel looked sowhat anxious and said, "Ron, you..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted.

Only then did Li Yu look up at him and say, "In such a hurry to die?"

"Soone is obviously fueling this matter behind the scenes. Their target isn't you two, but ."

Ron also knew about this. At that ti, they were indeed excavating in a ruin not far from the Itran Civilization.

That chanical Protoplasmic Avatar was also a hidden object in the ruin, accidentally activated.

However, at that ti, they also had the ability to handle it, but an unknown troublemaker Suddenly Appeared from sowhere.

That person forcefully allowed the chanical construct to break through the blockade and arrive within the territory of the Itran Civilization, causing this massacre.

But given the current trend of Public Opinion, if so explanation wasn't given, it would probably be difficult to calm the storm, which was why Ron took the initiative to say this.

After all, this was his first ti experiencing such a scene, with more than half the Interstellar condemning them; it was hard for him to remain calm.

"Small tricks. It's not your turn to go out and take the bla yet. I roughly know who is playing tricks behind the scenes," Li Yu shook his head.

Then, the Motherbox hovering nearby suddenly emitted a voice: "Master, according to internal data from the Black Hole Network, over forty-three Black Hole Accounts within the Itran Civilization received large sums of Star Coins in a short period."

"According to the IP Address comparison, it should be their High Echelon."

Li Yu nodded, unsurprised. If there was no one fanning the flas behind a small Itran Civilization, how could they dare to open fire on him?

"You two should take a break for a while. Ignore this matter."

Li Yu stood up and left directly, leaving behind the two looking at each other in dismay.

...

Upon Li Yu's notification, Loyd quickly descended here using a projection, a look of suspicion and uncertainty on his face: "What did the ssage you just sent an?"

"It ans literally what it says. I want to kill the High Echelons of the four major civilizations. They're causing trouble for ," Li Yu repeated.

Loyd felt a headache coming on. Every ti Li Yu sought him out, it was never for anything good: "Killing them is easy, but the subsequent fallout can't be quelled."

"Once the High Echelons of the four major civilizations die, the interstellar situation will instantly collapse. Various organizations will Erge Rapidly, the flas of war will spread everywhere, thereby sweeping even more civilizations in."

Speaking of this, he paused before continuing: "According to so models we established before, excluding the preliminary preparation ti, if we don't intervene, completely calming down this chaotic situation will take at least close to three thousand years."

"If we intervene with ard forces, it can shorten the ti by more than half. But during this period, we would need to continuously conduct assimilation education, expend massive resources, and simultaneously prevent attacks from the Remnant Races of those civilizations."

"That's your business," Li Yu said in a flat tone.

"You..." Loyd blanked, then realized Li Yu was making them handle the current incident.

Damn it, rembering when he needs coolie labor.

Loyd cursed inwardly, while carefully probing: "Then let ask you, are the recently surfacing rumors true? Did you really plunder the Titan Artifacts of those four major civilizations?"

Li Yu shook his head in denial: "Nonsense."

Hearing this, Loyd was Noncommittal and sighed: "You also know that over these past three years, the crackdown on The Forerunners has been unsparing."

"A year ago, the vast majority of The Forerunners had already been dealt with. During this past year, we've rely been checking for omissions and filling in the gaps."

"But in the internal data of The Forerunners organization, there isn't the slightest record regarding the Titan Artifacts. That Silver Shadow and the Pioneer Chief have also Vanished Completely."

"Those four major civilizations are burning with anxiety. And right at this mont, news ca out saying you secretly played the role of Silver Shadow and plundered the four major civilizations."

"They definitely won't let the matter drop."

Li Yu snorted coldly: "There's a rumor, and they just believe it?"

"Then tomorrow, I'll publicly announce that you guys did it."

Loyd's eyelid twitched, and he said faintly: "Is Your Excellency Dragon Sovereign sure it's an announcent for tomorrow? Why do I feel like you've already started acting?"

Li Yu's eyes flashed slightly; Loyd had actually hit the mark.

He knew it must be The Overseers secretly spreading news, pointing the spearhead at him.

So the very first instant he discovered this information, he began to Slander the Star Glory Empire, saying this matter was actually done by the Star Glory Empire.

Unfortunately, those four major civilizations didn't really believe it and instead pinned it on him.

This ti, it was a probing attack from the four major civilizations.

Loyd added: "We've already discussed this internally. The four major civilizations have indeed gone too far this ti. We will make them behave."

Li Yu actually didn't expect the Star Glory Empire to already have a contingency plan.

"How surprising. Why are you guys so proactive in helping this ti?" Li Yu was sowhat surprised.

Loyd said: "Ever since those four major civilizations lost their Titan Artifacts, the interstellar situation has been very tense, and they have a tendency to Band Together. We don't want to see a chaotic Interstellar; that would also be very troubleso for us."

"If we don't suppress them, lacking a sense of security, no one knows what kind of things they might do."

After saying all that, Li Yu understood. The Star Glory Empire was simply afraid his response would be too extre, causing the interstellar situation to fall into chaos.

"How about you guys just unify it all? I'll help you," Li Yu suddenly spoke up.

Loyd's heart jumped violently, but he maintained a calm expression on the surface and shook his head: "If we want to make a move on the four major civilizations, it will trigger a chain reaction from other civilizations. At that ti, it won't be a situation that can be cald down in just a few thousand years."

Li Yu thought about it and agreed. The Remnant Races left behind after the demise of so small civilizations could endure for hundreds of years without being extinguished, attempting to revive.

Not to ntion those slightly larger civilizations.

However, what the Star Glory Empire feared shouldn't be that it would take too long, but rather that so other unforeseen event might appear during this ti.

For example... The Overseers suddenly intervening or sothing.

"However, we plan to support The Reforrs to stir up trouble within their borders." Loyd shifted the conversation: "Internal conflict is always an excellent thod for consuming effective Strength."

Li Yu raised an eyebrow slightly: "That's a Double-Edged Sword."

"It's fine as long as you grip it tightly."

Since the Star Glory Empire had an action plan, Li Yu was quite cooperative.

Subsequently, the Star Glory Empire released a series of evidence, claiming the Itran Civilization was instigated by certain people to Fra and incriminate Dragon Sovereign, providing a series of proofs.

Several High Echelons of the Itran Civilization even ca out to testify.

Interstellar Public Opinion was in an uproar for a ti, beginning to focus their attention on the newly exposed information and Verbally and textually denounce the people manipulating things from the shadows.

Over ti, the impact of this matter gradually faded.

And not long after, many High Echelons of the four major civilizations were exposed in various scandals. So Resistance Organizations Rose in Revolt, leaving them badly battered and Preoccupied.

Half a year later, as the last mass of Source Matter fused into the Covenant of Primus, Celestial Paragon successfully advanced to a Super Lifeform.

The five Super Lifeform-level Primordial Transforrs lined up in front of him, making Li Yu's eyes flicker. He could finally make a move on The Overseers!

...

Inside the Monitor Base, Dezang and Dies were listening to the latest intelligence—

"...The rotating Speaker of Holivias resigned, taking the bla and admitting to using the civilization's military force to escort his descendants' rchant fleet."

"...Resistance Organizations within the Ouren Civilization have sprung up one after another. The Grand President has already dismissed three Supre Commanders..."

"What a bunch of trash..." Dies snorted coldly upon hearing this: "The four civilizations are now too Preoccupied to fend for themselves. Hoping for them to cause trouble for the Other-Dinsional Camp is probably impossible now."

"It was originally just to find sothing to attract their Attention, to save them from focusing on tracking down Stellar Spark's whereabouts." Dezang shook his head:

"With Stellar Spark escaping, the other party definitely won't let go of this hidden danger. This was just a small trick to prevent them from discovering us."

"It's best if it succeeds, but it doesn't matter if it fails."

"The Star Glory Empire has always been Apprehensive of us, not daring to launch large-scale wars of conquest for fear that we would backstab them." Dies also frowned and said: "In the short term, we probably won't have any good opportunities to take action to collect the relevant materials and forge the Connection Device."

Although they didn't have the blueprints for the Connection Device at the beginning.

But as The Forerunners gradually perished, they also found so clues from them. Combined with Stellar Spark's mories, they managed to restore it.

But they had always been afraid to collect materials on a large scale to avoid being discovered.

"No rush. We have plenty of ti. Acting rashly will instead be bad." Dezang's eyes were deep: "The enemy is in the open, and we are in the dark. A few decades or a hundred years is nothing."

"It won't be too late to act after everything When the Dust Settles."

Hiding in the dark was their advantage.

And it was precisely this advantage that made the Star Glory Empire extrely Apprehensive of them, acting with their hands tied.

"Hmm. The Other-Dinsional Camp hides in the dark, and we also hide in the dark. Now let's see who can hide deeper." Dies sneered coldly:

"I refuse to believe they can hide better than us!"

As the last Conservative Faction, they almost never left this Base and never operated outside.

Boom!

Just as he finished speaking, the entire Base suddenly trembled violently, accompanied by a rumbling sound and intense Energy Fluctuations.

Chapter 818: The Return of the Eternal ch God

"What's going on!?" Dies was startled and then shouted loudly.

Just a mont ago they were proud that no one could find them, and now they were slapped in the face?

"Warning, restricted-level Information State reactions detected, quantity—five!"

"Ti Lock Barrier detected, Communication Link has been severed..."

Along with the alarm, a Holographic Screen popped up. The image showed a dense swarm of chanical Lifeforms, almost endless.

"Transformation Legion!" Dies instantly recognized it, and then couldn't help but exclaim, "It's the Other-Dinsional Camp. How did they find this place!?"

"Five Super Lifeforms. This is troubleso..." Dezang's expression was dark as he stared at the five highlighted chanical Bodies within the Transformation Legion.

This number far exceeded his imagination, and what was even more troubleso was that their main master hadn't even appeared yet.

In other words, there were at least six Super Lifeforms present, three tis their number.

"Open the Void Beast Pen, prepare to counterattack!" Dezang issued the order, while simultaneously saying to Dies, "Don't think about attacking today. Find an opportunity to break out; the opponent's Strength far exceeds ours."

"Run away!?" Dies's expression tightened, clearly very dissatisfied with this answer.

"If we don't run, we'll all die here!" Dezang suddenly grabbed Dies and looked straight into his eyes. "Didn't you see? Those five Super Lifeforms are chanical Bodies!"

"Those thirteen chanical Bodies were active outside before. They were just ordinary chanical Bodies then. How long has it been, and they've already beco Super Lifeforms!?"

"Their Strength is beyond imagination. We are fundantally not their match. Only by running away and surviving will we have a chance!"

Dies was stunned. He glanced at those five chanical Lifeforms, his expression shifting, and finally nodded heavily.

At the sa ti, around the inverted-triangle Base, portals of light were projected, and countless monsters surged out.

There were humanoid creatures, grotesquely twisted monsters, and elental beings...

It seed they had all undergone special modifications, possessing formidable combat power and imnse numbers, pouring out of the portals continuously as if there was no limit.

The numbers of the Transformation Legion and the monsters grew increasingly larger. The battle line rapidly stretched out, with no end in sight, forming a standoff.

Soon, the two sides engaged in combat. The heavy-armored Transforrs at the very front raised their tal Shields, deployed Energy Fields, and advanced in formation.

Then, the dense energy beams fired from the rear seed to turn into a curtain of light, directly executing concentrated coverage strikes.

Clusters of light frequently exploded within the enemy formation, bringing casualties to large swathes of monsters.

The specially trained elite Transforrs fought independently, looking for opportunities to attack the weak points of the enemy's formation.

But these modified creatures, like an erupting Cosmic Volcano, charged madly at the Transformation Legion's lines, showing no weakness.

The two torrents rapidly approached and then crashed together.

Rumble!

The scene instantly beca deadlocked, the fighting intense and extrely brutal!

The monsters were turned into fragnts and ash under the Transforrs' advance, but a large number of Transforrs were also rapidly lting away, turning into scrap tal.

"The Strength of these monsters seems quite formidable," Li Yu hovered in the rear, watching this great battle.

Then, his eyes flickered, sensing two terrifying Auras erupting from the inverted-triangle Base.

"Hmm? Only two Super Lifeforms?" Li Yu was sowhat surprised. If there were only this many, it would be a disservice to his caution.

Hum!

A massive golden Energy Beam shot into the Transformation Legion and then abruptly blood.

An area within the Transformation Legion suddenly experienced a bizarre Space Collapse. Spatial Turbulence raged out but was confined to this ring-shaped area.

The Transforrs within the area seed to be erased by an eraser, instantly vanishing into thin air.

And any subsequent Transforrs entering this area would also instantly disappear without a trace.

Li Yu looked over, narrowing his eyes. He saw a figure dressed in a black robe, with three golden sphere-like objects orbiting around him in a special trajectory.

"Virtual Matrix. The missing Titan Artifact is indeed in your hands." Li Yu finally perked up a bit.

The Virtual Matrix was a relatively comprehensive Titan Artifact with many functions.

Erasure, teleportation, revival, and so on...

"Dragon Sovereign..." Dezang stared at Li Yu, seemingly trying to imprint his appearance firmly in his mind.

Subsequently, those three golden spheres shot out several more Light Beams, erasing several patches of Transforrs.

But right at this mont, warning bells blared in his mind. He activated the Virtual Matrix without hesitation and instantly left his spot.

Swoosh!

In the next mont, a highly concentrated blue-black ray shot over, piercing through layers of paper-thin Energy Barriers and hitting the afterimage left behind.

Dezang Flashed to the side and turned his head to look in the direction the beam ca from.

He saw a Super Lifeform-level Transforr mounting a large sniper rifle, aiming at his side, the muzzle still flashing with light.

"Dodged quite fast. I thought I could test the practical effect of this Void Exile Ray," Celestial Paragon spoke in the channel.

Celestial Paragon had fused the Source Matter extracted from the Void Realm Core Crystal and could launch attacks with special effects.

This Void Exile Ray possessed astonishing penetrative and lethal power.

According to the laboratory's report, upon hitting the target, it could put the opponent into an "exile" state, unable to use any abilities, and it even had so effect on Super Lifeforms.

Dezang, having just dodged an attack, hadn't relaxed yet when alarm bells rang in his heart again.

He backhandedly shot three Energy Beams behind him, just in ti to block a chanical fist thrown by Heaven-Shaking Sovereign, who had arrived via Void Leap.

Bang!!

The Light Beams and the chanical iron fist clashed, and a terrifying Shockwave suddenly burst forth!

Dezang was about to borrow the force to Keep His Distance when he saw the Armor on Heaven-Shaking Sovereign suddenly light up with Luminescence-like blue Psionic Energy patterns, flashing like breathing.

In this instant, Dezang's expression changed drastically. He found that the energy in his body was beginning to flow uncontrollably into the opponent's body, as if it were being sucked away.

The Devour Source Matter fused by Heaven-Shaking Sovereign gave him the characteristic of devouring all energy, turning it into his own fuel.

At this mont, Dezang made a prompt decision. The three golden spheres trembled, and in an instant, he broke free from the control, disappearing without a trace.

Li Yu turned his head to look at the other side. Dezang's figure slowly erged. Without ti to overthink, he was secretly alard.

At the sa ti, Dies also rushed out from the Base and was entangled by the other three Transforrs.

"Careful, these chanical Bodies are all very bizarre!" he warned secretly.

Dies's expression was dark. He held a special Weapon that could change into various forms and emit energy attacks of various attributes, covering an extrely wide range.

The chanical Versatile Body, another Titan Artifact, could mimic various forms of Technology Weapons.

Li Yu couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. Today's battle wouldn't be fought in vain.

The two gradually converged and engaged in a dogfight with the five Super Lifeforms.

The Strength of the two was not weak, and with the aid of the Titan Artifacts, they didn't fall to a disadvantage for a ti, instead entering a stalemate.

Fundantally, the Advancent of Super Lifeforms was by no ans as easy as it was for the Transforrs.

They rely took a shortcut. In themselves, they were more like Titan Artifacts; the Strength they could exert was ultimately limited, having so gap compared to the two enemies.

But no matter what, they were still considered Super Lifeforms and weren't Useless.

Energy surged wildly, and this Star Sector already showed a tendency to shatter.

The Void trembled. Various Containnt Devices could no longer bear the Energy Riot, and the space-ti blockade also began to loosen.

At this mont, another astonishing Aura erupted from the inverted-triangle Base, instantly attracting Li Yu's gaze.

"Hmm, there's another one?" Li Yu was slightly surprised.

However, when the other party rushed out, Li Yu's furrowed brows instantly smoothed out: "Pioneer Chief, so it's you?"

And Stellar Spark, shrouded under the black robe, had his pupils shrink slightly.

I've already turned into this, and you can still recognize ?

His ability was special. After occupying another Corporeal Form, he would completely alter his various characteristics; Li Yu shouldn't have been able to distinguish him.

At this mont, Stellar Spark had completely changed his appearance, looking similar to the other two.

"You let him out, and even used The Prophet's body?" Dies questioned Dezang.

"Under these circumstances, we can't care about so much." Dezang shook his head, staring at Li Yu and said, "Right now, I'm more interested in knowing why he still knows Stellar Spark's Identity when he has already taken over The Prophet's body."

"According to Stellar Spark's characteristics, his Aura and external traits have completely changed."

"Interesting. Your Aura has actually completely changed. If it weren't for... I really wouldn't have recognized you in that disguise." Li Yu sized up Stellar Spark, guessing this should be related to the other party's ability.

After all, not just anyone could occupy a Titan Artifact Prototype as a shell.

"You have a way to lock onto ?" Stellar Spark didn't react slowly. Only then did he understand, and his expression beca sowhat ugly.

He also understood that the exposure of the Base was not Silver Shadow's fault at all, but because of himself.

And similarly, because of himself, this place was also exposed.

"Stop wasting ti, Stellar Spark. Find an opportunity to escape. With the three of us joining forces, we can't beat them, but running shouldn't be a problem," Dezang secretly contacted Stellar Spark.

And Stellar Spark imdiately headed towards the battlefield where Dezang and Dies were, while Li Yu also noticed their intentions.

After all, this group of people wasn't stupid. If they couldn't win, they definitely had to run.

"It's ti to end this..." Li Yu's face was calm as he activated the Eternal Core without hesitation.

In an instant, a bizarre fluctuation emanated from Li Yu's body.

At the sa ti, the five Super Primal King Kongs currently in battle ceased their movents simultaneously and flew towards Li Yu.

Li Yu also brought out a large red Armor and quickly integrated it into the Symbiotic Bio-Armor.

The abilities attached to Crimson Typhoon could provide him with a rather substantial combat Amplification.

Dezang and the others were stunned as they watched the five Super Primal King Kongs fuse into Li Yu's body.

Then, in just the blink of an eye, countless chanical structures continuously grew out, rapidly spreading like the roots of a plant, forming a massive chanical Body.

And during the fusion process, the Energy Fluctuations released from Li Yu's body also continuously increased.

At the sa ti, Electric Arcs of various colors intertwined with each other, like escaping steam, constantly emanating from the surface of the chanical Body, extrely eye-catching.

The Eternal Machine God, descends!

Dezang and the others watched this scene in astonishnt, only feeling a vague oppressive might sweeping over them, palpitations arising spontaneously.

"Eternal Machine God, this... how is this possible!?" Dezang turned pale in shock, recalling the data he had seen a long ti ago.

This looked like one of the supre crystallizations of the Eternal Civilization, fusing multiple chanical Bodies to create the ultimate combat machine, possessing formidable combat power.

"The Other-Dinsional Camp is related to the Eternal Civilization?"

Just as this thought surfaced, Dezang didn't have ti to think deeply and suddenly shouted, "Split up and run!"

With this kind of multi-in-one ultimate combat machine, its combat power would definitely increase geotrically; they couldn't possibly be its match!

In the next mont, the three of them flew in three different directions like shooting stars, attempting to flee this place.

Subsequently, the space trembled, and the Eternal Machine God vanished impressively from its spot.

When it reappeared, it had already arrived right in front of Stellar Spark, a dash that was like teleportation, its massive size not dragging down its speed at all.

Stellar Spark didn't have a Titan Artifact protecting his body, so he was the easiest to deal with.

The chanical iron fist surged with energy, carrying various Source Matters, as if tearing open the curtain of the universe.

At the critical mont, Stellar Spark suddenly turned around. Energy rolled in like a tide, violently colliding with the chanical iron fist.

Bang!!

In the next mont, a ring-shaped Shockwave suddenly burst outward from the point of collision!

Stellar Spark's figure should have shot backwards like a cannonball, but now he was firmly fixed in place, bizarrely not moving a single inch.

However, his figure still seed to turn into a ray of light, caught on a "treadmill," continuously flying backward while staying in place.

At the sa ti, a secluded blue Light Beam had already shot out from the derived super-large sniper rifle. The Hawkeye Emblem flashed and disappeared, aiming at Dezang.

He was the most agile. The long-range attack capable of locking onto the target, coupled with the Amplification of the Hawkeye Emblem, naturally made him the target.

Dezang's figure kept Flashing, but he found it difficult to shake off the Light Beam behind him; that thing seed to have locked onto him.

Even using the Virtual Matrix, he couldn't dodge it and could only take it head-on.

Boom!

The secluded blue Light Beam accurately hit Dezang. There was no grand-scale explosion; the blue halo suddenly dispersed, enveloping Dezang.

His body suddenly stiffened in place, as if imprisoned, unable to move.

He had been forcefully "exiled".

As for Dies, Li Yu's eyes flickered. He raised his hand and triggered the power of the Annihilation Device.

Gray mist surged out from the Void, instantly wrapping around him.

"Annihilation Device!" he roared in anger.

It was just that this ti, it didn't directly make him lose his combat ability.

Energy surged within it; he was clearly using the chanical Versatile Body to counterattack.

After all, possessing a Titan Artifact still gave him so capital to resist.

However, this little bit of delayed ti was enough for Li Yu to arrive in front of him.

"It's over."

The massive Eternal Machine God looked down at this mass of Black Mist. The chanical iron fist surged, forcefully digging into the gray mist, and then clenched violently.

The chanical limbs of the Eternal Machine God conducted astonishing energy. Electric Arcs shot out wildly, and the energy peak continuously rose.

Bang!

Accompanied by a muffled sound, the gray mist dispersed. Dies was firmly gripped in the Eternal Machine God's hand. Various blockades overlapped on him, completely trapping him.

Chapter 819: A Master Cultivator from the Starting Village who Reached Max Level is Preparing to Erge

It didn't take long for this battle to end. With the help of Li Yu's nurous hack-level abilities, Dezang and the others were no match at all.

There weren't many twists and turns in the course of the battle. After the Eternal Machine God descended, it was a completely crushing battle.

After confiscating the two Titan Artifacts, the Transformation Legion began to gradually clear out the remaining battlefield.

The Eternal Machine God disassembled, and the several Super Primal King Kongs also stood around, while firmly guarding Dezang and the other two.

About half a day later, the entire battlefield gradually quieted down as the corpses and tal fragnts left from the battle were swept clean.

At the sa ti, the inverted-triangle Base in front of them was also controlled by the Transformation Legion, and Claptrap was currently copying the internal data.

There was an massive amount of data in this Monitor Base, recording many hidden pieces of information from the developnt of the interstellar era.

For example, the origins of the founders of the Star Glory Empire—information that was basically impossible to find under normal circumstances could be found here.

It was just that there wasn't much data regarding the Outside Civilizations that Li Yu cared about most.

There were only so records about the Creator Civilization, and even those weren't considered too many.

However, Li Yu wasn't too disappointed about this. After all, his goal wasn't to gather information and intelligence.

It was only to eliminate the hidden danger of The Overseers. Getting two additional Titan Artifacts was already extrely good.

As for the last two untraceable Titan Artifacts among the fourteen, he didn't find any relevant clues in this Base.

They must have truly flowed into the Interstellar, hiding in so Hidden Corners by now.

Dezang, Dies, and Stellar Spark lined up in a row. Their bodies were shrouded in layers of Containnt Devices, personally guarded by five Super Primal King Kongs, cutting off any possibility of them escaping.

"You can't use that ability anymore?" Li Yu looked at Stellar Spark and asked rather curiously.

A Holographic Screen hovered in front of him, with a large amount of information refreshing on it.

"...A consciousness entity born from a chaotic Information State region, possessing various miraculous traits..."

"...Later, without Authority, he fused with a Titan Artifact Prototype and broke free from control..."

Stellar Spark was essentially a Test Subject. His own ideological state was very special, which was why he could attach himself to other Corporeal Forms.

"The core of my consciousness entity is here, which is why I was able to break free from the Titan Artifact Prototype before. As for now, breaking free is useless," Stellar Spark appeared quite calm and didn't hide anything.

Li Yu nodded, continuing to read, and then his eyes flickered: "Huh, they actually extracted another consciousness entity from your body. Where did it go? Why didn't I see it?"

Hearing this, Stellar Spark's expression changed slightly, looking very ugly.

If it weren't for The Overseers' research, he wouldn't have known that he had actually suffered from schizophrenia and birthed another consciousness entity.

But then he suddenly looked at Li Yu, realizing that this guy's tone of voice was wrong. He wasn't surprised that he had another consciousness entity in his body, but surprised that the consciousness entity had been extracted.

"You knew all along that I had another consciousness entity in my body?" he asked with a mix of surprise and uncertainty.

"I know a little bit..." Li Yu nodded. Nonsense, I created it, how could I not know?

"Where did he go? Why are there no relevant records?" Li Yu was sowhat puzzled.

"You did that too!?" Stellar Spark glared at Li Yu in disbelief.

Damn it, is this still my own consciousness entity at all?

Why does it feel like I've been manipulated by him in every possible way? Not to ntion he can directly lock onto , even the other consciousness entity inside my body was created by him.

Li Yu ignored him, instead looking at the other two and asking: "Where is the other consciousness entity extracted from him?"

He didn't care too much about this consciousness entity.

It was just that the guy shared all of Stellar Spark's previous mories, which was a minor annoyance.

Dezang remained silent. That consciousness entity was naturally released by him.

Moreover, it was released two years ago. He had reached an agreent with that bizarre consciousness entity to have it help do so things.

But he didn't expect that now they were directly captured, and that bizarre consciousness entity instead beca the only one of their own people who knew the truth.

Let's tentatively consider him one of our own.

Dies snorted coldly, staring closely at Li Yu: "Cunning interstellar human, don't think you've already achieved victory."

"We are just a small branch of the Ethnic Group. When the grand army arrives, you will ultimately have nowhere to run!"

Li Yu couldn't be bothered to respond to this Reckless Brute. This guy had been Holed Up Here for so long that his brain had rotted.

"Do you want to die, or do you want to live?" Li Yu still asked the sa question.

Dezang and Dies responded with cold indifference, with Dies even clamoring and cursing. Li Yu didn't hesitate, directly sending these two guys to the Tree of Life as nutrients.

This was sothing he only discovered by chance. Super Lifeforms themselves were extrely premium materials and resources. Directly annihilating them was too wasteful.

As for Stellar Spark... Li Yu looked at him. According to the data records, this guy shouldn't have any firm beliefs like Faith.

"What are your thoughts? Considering you helped find the Monitor Base, hmm..." Li Yu thought for a mont and added: "Forget it, it's impossible to let you go anyway."

He pondered carefully and found that Stellar Spark really had no use to him. Keeping him around was useless, and trusting him was impossible. It would be better to just feed him to the Tree of Life.

"Wait, I have a piece of information that I can exchange for my life!" Stellar Spark suddenly spoke up.

He didn't want to dissipate here; he still wanted to continue living.

"Oh?" Li Yu paused his movents, the pale golden roots of the Tree of Life stopping in front of Stellar Spark.

"What is it regarding? If it's not sothing I'm interested in, I won't agree to your terms."

"It's about the Annihilation Device. You will definitely be interested," Stellar Spark added.

This statent made Li Yu pause. His expression turned odd as he probed: "You're not trying to say that the Annihilation Device is already shattered, are you?"

The mont these words ca out, Stellar Spark was struck by lightning, an obvious look of ashen despair appearing on his face.

Seeing the other party's reaction, Li Yu verified his guess and suddenly laughed, saying: "Interesting. Even that guy Silver Shadow didn't know this information, and he's a genuine mber of the Creator Civilization's race."

"How did you know about it?"

Stellar Spark shook his head and said sadly: "Does it matter? Can I exchange my life if I tell you?"

"No, I'm not entirely too curious about this point." Li Yu smiled; it was nothing more than investigation and speculation.

This matter was actually not difficult to deduce. As long as one had witnessed the transformation process of the Creator Civilization's race, one could more or less make so guesses.

Except for themselves, who had an Obsessive reverence for the Annihilation Device and wouldn't think in that direction.

The roots of the Tree of Life imdiately plunged into Stellar Spark's Corporeal Form, beginning to extract the special power within him.

"Take away whatever can be taken, and destroy whatever cannot be taken on the spot." Li Yu surveyed the surroundings and issued the command.

"Understood!"

The chanical pupils of the nurous Transforrs spun and contracted, receiving this order.

...

Ti flowed, and in the blink of an eye, three years had passed. For Advanced Lifeforms, a period of three years was just A White Horse Passing Through a Crevice, gone in a flash.

In the Jade Void Palace, Li Yu gathered his nurous Subordinates and announced his preparation to temporarily leave this Star Sector.

"Are you fully prepared? Traversing the Barren Universe Zone seems very dangerous," The Hunter spoke first. This matter was not much of a secret to them; they had been ntally prepared for it a long ti ago.

"Moreover, we know next to nothing about Outside Civilizations. The only data we have is from the Titan Civilization era," Sinai added:

"You must be careful. No matter how sufficient the preparation, there are still risks."

"Mm, I will take all thirteen Primal Transforrs with . Eight of them have already advanced to Super Lifeforms. With them around, there shouldn't be any problems," Li Yu nodded.

During these three years, he had extracted all the Source Matter from the two Titan Artifacts and the Titan Artifact Prototype he obtained previously, allowing the Primal Transforrs to receive Advancent.

Now he already had eight Super Primal King Kongs. If this number were to be known by the Star Glory Empire, they would probably be scared out of their minds.

After all, these were Super Lifeforms, not cabbages on the side of the road.

No matter how powerful the Outside Civilizations were, Super Lifeforms couldn't possibly be like cabbages.

According to the calculations of Li Yu and the others, during the peak period of the Titan Civilization, there were no more than a hundred concurrent Super Lifeforms.

Including himself, possessing nine Super Lifeform-level combat powers was a force that only a top-tier Tribe could possess in the Titan Civilization.

Moreover, he also had the ultimate combat thod like the Eternal Machine God.

Going on this trip, even if it wasn't exactly "A Master Cultivator from the Starting Village who Reached Max Level leaving the mountain," it wasn't far off.

"I have already eliminated the greatest hidden danger, The Overseers. The Star Glory Empire will not easily make a move against you. The four major civilizations are now Preoccupied with their own affairs, and the God Council still dares not step out of their territory," Li Yu continued:

"When I leave, do not act too high-profile. Relying on the Jade Void Palace, no one should be able to pose a threat to you."

The crowd nodded in agreent. None of them liked to show off; otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to hide in the Jade Void Palace for so long.

However, Li Yu himself didn't know how long he would be gone, and he couldn't let this group of people stay Holed Up Here without going anywhere, driving themselves crazy.

Pausing for a mont, he added: "Oh right, Mo Duo found the Eternal Titan not long ago. I won't take him away; consider him a trump card left for you."

Mo Duo had searched in the Divine Forging Master's territory for a long ti and only found the Eternal Titan with the help of the Venerable of Fate.

She had developed quite well, and coupled with the massive number of Councilors falling previously, the God Council was engulfed in the flas of war, and no one had the ti to target her.

"Hunter, I will grant you the Authority of the A-Tier Alliance president later. Use it sparingly."

Hunter froze slightly and subconsciously touched his cheek, his voice sowhat trembling: "The Authority of the A-Tier Alliance president?"

Li Yu shot him a glance and said: "It's just in case so unexpected situations occur, and you're unable to mobilize those mbers."

"Normally, this Identity is just a decoration."

Hunter swallowed hard. Boss... to you it's a decoration, but no matter how you look at it, it's one of the most powerful Seats in the Interstellar.

Although excited inwardly, Hunter also knew he was just a stand-in, and it was impossible to truly use this Identity to do whatever he wanted.

"Uncle Hunter must be scheming on how to pick up girls!" Keller suddenly spoke up.

Hunter glared fiercely and said: "Shoo, shoo, kid, go play sowhere else!"

"Also, if anything happens to Returning Star, rember to do your best to help," Li Yu smiled and instructed again.

The crowd nodded one after another. Li Yu then gave a few more instructions before dismissing everyone.

"I also have to inform the Star Glory Empire. Otherwise, disappearing for so long, it's inevitable they won't get suspicious," Li Yu thought for a mont and still dialed Loyd's Communication Link.

It rang for a long ti. Right when it was about to hang up automatically at the end, Loyd finally answered, his large face clearly showing unease.

"Your Excellency Dragon Sovereign, do you have so business?"

Loyd was truly afraid of what Li Yu was going to ask him to do the mont he opened his mouth.

"Were you hesitating just now whether to answer or not?" Li Yu sized up Loyd suspiciously.

"No..." Loyd flatly denied it: "I was just holding a eting. After receiving the call, I directly dismissed the eting and ca over to answer."

Li Yu couldn't be bothered to say much about this obvious lie, getting straight to the point: "I will be disappearing for a period of ti. I have already handed over the acting Authority of the A-Tier Alliance president to Hunter. If you need anything, find him."

"Disappearing for a period of ti?" Loyd was sowhat surprised. Normally, Li Yu would often disappear in a Baffling manner without telling them.

Why was he suddenly making a point to inform them this ti?

He thought for a mont and probed: "Is it because the disappearance ti will be too long?"

"Worthy of being the Empire's first Designated Heir," Li Yu praised.

Loyd's face darkened. Why did this sentence not feel like a complint?

"That's right. I'm preparing to advance to a Super Lifeform. I don't know how long it will take, so I'm specifically telling you guys."

"If anything happens and you can't find , don't worry too much."

Li Yu made up an Excuse, since the Star Glory Empire still didn't know he had already beco a Super Lifeform.

"Advancing to a Super Lifeform, so fast?" Loyd instantly felt uncomfortable, Feeling a Pang of Envy.

Even as the Empire's first Designated Heir, he had only barely evolved into a Tier A5 Lifeform not long ago.

Yet the guy in front of him was already advancing towards becoming a Super Lifeform. It was too enviable.

"Got it, got it..." Loyd said sullenly, feeling that this guy was actually here to show off, rather than to give him a heads-up.

Chapter 820: Traversing the Barren Universe Zone

Just as Li Yu was about to hang up, he saw that Loyd's expression was sowhat hesitant, as if he had sothing to say.

"What, do you still have sothing?" Li Yu asked with a bit of teasing, "Don't tell you want to wish success in my Evolution."

Loyd subconsciously wanted to shake his head, but suddenly realized it would be very inappropriate, so halfway through, it turned into a nod.

This resulted in his large face drawing a semicircle on the screen, which was quite comical.

Looking at Li Yu's wide grin, Loyd felt even more Speechless and spoke up: "Originally, the Empire's High Echelons wanted to seek your cooperation on a certain matter."

"Cooperation?" Li Yu was slightly taken aback, his imagination running wild.

Now that The Forerunners had basically been eliminated, and the Star Glory Empire had no intention to Unify the Galaxy, what else could they possibly need his cooperation for?

Loyd didn't Keep in Suspense and continued imdiately: "To deal with The Overseers. You also know that for... us, The Overseers are a hidden danger."

"If our two sides cooperate, we should be able to completely eliminate them."

"Eliminate The Overseers?" Li Yu's expression was odd. Tsk... The Overseers are already buried; your version update is too slow.

However, he naturally wouldn't leak this information. Instead, he pretended to ponder for a mont and said: "Then that's really unfortunate. Let's talk about it after I evolve into a Super Lifeform."

You speak as if you're definitely going to succeed, Loyd muttered inwardly.

But this matter was indeed not urgent. Anyway, they had already waited this long.

"Then I wish Your Excellency Dragon Sovereign a smooth Evolution," Loyd forced back the sour feeling in his heart and offered a blessing that he didn't an.

"Thanks for the auspicious words," Li Yu revealed a smile that made Loyd feel a bit strange.

...

More than half a month later, in front of the Wormhole, a massive amount of Instrunts and equipnt were operating to assist in stabilizing the Wormhole.

"After I leave, seal the data regarding this place. It cannot be leaked out," Li Yu ordered.

The surrounding researchers all nodded in unison.

Then, the thirteen Primal Transforrs, along with so elite Transforrs, turned into streams of light and rged into the Symbiotic Bio-Armor.

He wasn't preparing to bring too many Transforrs; low-level Transforrs wouldn't be of much help to him.

All thirteen Primal Transforrs had the potential for Advancent, so he also brought the ones that hadn't advanced yet.

The Titan Artifacts in this Interstellar region were almost Squeezed Dry by him, but there must be quite a few Weapons containing Source Matter in the outside world.

Therefore, he also brought the Supre Forge with him.

The Eternal Machine God descended, radiating unparalleled might, looking down on everything with disdain.

Without much hesitation, Li Yu brought Andrei and Bloodlust and stepped inside with one stride.

"Beep, beep, beep, Wormhole overload, please adjust imdiately!"

Suddenly, the alarm blared violently, and the complexions of nurous researchers instantly changed.

"How could this happen? We clearly tested it, and there were no problems."

"Could it be that Lord Dragon Sovereign is too strong, and the Spatial Channel can't bear it?"

Peyton ordered calmly: "Don't panic. Activate the Wormhole's auxiliary stabilization equipnt."

The nurous researchers imdiately perford their respective duties. As a large number of Instrunts and equipnt trembled continuously, the Wormhole gradually stabilized.

...

Amidst a Thundercloud-like Spatial Storm, a silvery-white stream of light shuttled at high speed, like a small boat in giant waves, bumping incessantly.

It was exactly Li Yu who had entered the Wormhole. Even though the Wormhole discovered by Ron could save him a portion of the journey, the danger level of the Barren Universe Zone was still difficult to estimate.

He directly used the Eternal Machine God to travel. There were two tiny clusters of light attached to him, which were precisely the two Old geezers, Andrei and Bloodlust.

The Barren Universe Zone was divided into multiple ring zones. With his current Strength, the vast majority of the ring zones would be hard-pressed to pose a threat to him.

The outer ring zone was considered a normal region, where relatively active energy and matter maintained at least temporary stability.

Further in was a turbulent transitional zone, where chaotic Information States and violently denaturing matter, energy, and space entangled together, forming a chaotic storm that surrounded the fragnts.

The innermost layer was "Chaos," where distorted Information States and indescribable threats all hid, and the level of madness was extrely terrifying.

The regular Void Storm areas couldn't even pierce his surface Shield.

Of course, they hadn't truly entered the Barren Universe Zone yet; this was just the spatial travel channel constructed by the Wormhole itself.

Li Yu reached the end of the Wormhole channel, and ahead was the specially constructed Spatial Barrier.

It was precisely by utilizing this kind of Spatial Barrier that the Wormhole channel could extend to this degree.

This technology was almost impossible to replicate. According to the research of his subordinates, this Spatial Barrier had an extrely high affinity with the Barren Universe Zone; it didn't extend here by forcefully resisting the Barren Universe Zone.

Thud!

Li Yu directly shuttled through, and before his eyes appeared a boundless Cosmic Space of Chaos Color, where various chaotic Information States entangled here.

And the abrupt appearance of an anomalous organism instantly caused a riot in this region.

A massive number of shadows rushed over from afar, arriving right before his eyes in the blink of an eye.

This was a biological creature that looked extrely bizarre. Its body was enormous, with a length that could almost reach the radius of a standard Life Planet.

Its carapace was grayish-black, covered with fine threads and protrusions.

These protrusions and threads seed specifically designed to increase its defensive capabilities, because there was no soft spot anywhere on its surface—it didn't even have eyes or a mouth.

On its abdon were two rows of giant chelipeds, eight legs in each row, and every leg had sharp hooked claws.

Its head was enormous, taking up almost more than half of its body. It had only a very large pointed cone covered with holes, which swallowed the chaotic Information State here.

"This is too bizarre," Li Yu secretly grumbled, and this group of wandering creatures imdiately launched an attack.

One by one, the monsters inhaled the chaotic Information State. Streaks of grayish lightning suddenly appeared, wandering across their bodies, and then violently shot out, attacking Li Yu.

Hum!

Light lit up in the Eternal Machine God's eyes. It popped out a massive Energy Barrier to protect the machine body. All the gray lightning bombarded it, exploding into streaks of electric light.

In the next second, the Eternal Machine God began to unleash its terrifying firepower.

Terrifying Energy Cannons bombarded the monsters, blowing scorched gaps in their carapaces, piercing through them with undiminished montum.

However, normally, after piercing through a few hundred, the attack would lose steam, and the number in front of them was incalculable.

The defensive power of these monsters was truly astonishing. After all, this was an attack from the Eternal Machine God, yet it was difficult to cause large-scale damage.

If it were Dezang or Alfrey and the others, their lethality would probably be even more limited.

But the Eternal Machine God could at least still hold the advantage. One by one, the monsters were easily blasted apart, exploding into scattered biological tissue.

At this ti, more and more creatures rushed over. Their numbers seed endless, showing no fear at all as they advanced wave upon wave to slaughter the Eternal Machine God.

And Li Yu didn't stay in place. Instead, he kept breaking through forward. Under his powerful lethality, his forward speed was not hindered.

Only Andrei watched this scene with trepidation, deeply afraid that with one careless move, he would beco food in the mouths of these monsters.

After an unknown amount of ti, the surroundings suddenly opened up. Those bizarre-looking monsters gradually dispersed and no longer chased the Eternal Machine God from all directions.

But this didn't an the danger had passed. Li Yu's expression was solemn. This was the "Chaos" region at the core of the Barren Universe Zone; how could there only be a few monsters?

The reason those guys stopped chasing was probably because there was a more terrifying threat ahead.

Just as this thought surfaced, a burst of brilliant radiance suddenly erupted from sowhere unknown.

"Information State Outburst, Rule Entanglent Phenonon..." Li Yu's pupils contracted as he Absarbed so information from his surroundings.

The Information State Outburst was okay, but the Rule Entanglent Phenonon was troubleso.

The Rule Entanglent Phenonon wasn't a simple clump of matter, energy, or Information States.

Rules were the foundation of the Universe, but in this region, extre chaos affected the Rules, causing them to undergo an entanglent and distortion phenonon.

The terrifying nature of Rules didn't need elaboration. The Creator Civilization used the Annihilation Device to affect the Rules, causing the Titans to be on the opposite side of the Universe—it would be hard for them not to perish.

The "Chaos Zone" no longer possessed any stable information structure.

Within this range, there was no matter, nor was there energy. Sotis, it couldn't even be called Chaos.

This region was just a large mass of aningless, chaotic Information States—seeming like a flower but not a flower, seeming like a shadow but not a shadow.

But precisely because of this, everything could be distorted, including the Rules.

Now that brilliant curtain of light was rapidly unfolding. The feeling of it rushing head-on was truly thrilling.

The Rule Entanglent Phenonon was like a giant space, like a bubble floating in the Void.

And now, the front of this space was rippling with rings of colorful patterns.

Indescribable colors rapidly spread along the edge of the Void.

Li Yu felt like he was falling toward an incomparably giant colorful vortex.

His eyes flickered. Andrei swallowed hard. Bloodlust, as an aggregate of consciousness, was even more aware of the danger within.

But whether to charge or not wasn't up to them.

A mont later, Li Yu's eyes narrowed. The Eternal Machine God burst with large-scale Electric Arcs all over its body and violently charged in!

A mont later, so phantom-like things surfaced before Li Yu's eyes.

They looked like giant interstellar humans, but their structure and shape were clearly more complex than interstellar humans.

These continuously surging phantoms—the small ones were only about a hundred ters, while the large ones were several kiloters or even a hundred kiloters tall, their expressions mad and ferocious.

They appeared out of thin air within the Rule Entanglent Phenonon, rushing toward Li Yu's direction, carrying a bizarre power.

"Titans!?"

Li Yu quickly saw what these things were.

They were actually Titan Phantoms, of every Strength level imaginable.

"Mixed with the space-ti chaos region, so that's how it is..." Li Yu generally understood how the Barren Universe Zone was ford.

This group of Titans created the Rule Entanglent Phenonon here and used a special thod to make the Rule Entanglent Phenonon continuously reappear and constantly destroy this place.

Over ti, it ford the Barren Universe Zone.

And the attacks they carried out here at that ti also beca like phantoms, recording their appearance at the final mont.

This was the truly dangerous mont. Calling this group of phantoms just phantoms was true, but within the Rule Entanglent Phenonon...

In the next second, they could beco physical Entities and smash down with their giant fists.

"They're coming!"

Li Yu focused his attention to face them. This was a violent storm condensed from Information States and Rules.

Piercing yellow-white "Fire" light expanded from a single point, instantly forming a dazzling nova in front of the Eternal Machine God.

And within this mass of light, groups of Titan Phantoms charged at Li Yu. So were real, and so were just phantoms.

The Eternal Machine God's alarms rang incessantly. The Energy Barrier around its body constantly caved in and then rapidly repaired itself. The five dazzling gems flickered continuously.

The machine body trembled violently, bearing super-strong pressure as terrifying collisions occurred from ti to ti.

This made Li Yu sowhat unsure whether his preparations were truly sufficient.

This was already the result of him using the Wormhole to bypass nearly half of the Chaos Zone and avoiding a portion of the danger.

No wonder it was difficult for anyone from the outside to rush in, not even Super Lifeforms.

"I refuse to believe it. Eight combined into one, and I still can't charge through!" Li Yu gritted his teeth and madly stepped on the gas pedal.

Unfortunately, the Eternal Core was embedded in the Symbiotic Bio-Armor, and the Eternal Machine God was essentially a derivation of the Symbiotic Bio-Armor.

So he couldn't use his own power to provide Amplification anymore. Otherwise, facing this situation, it would have been sowhat easier.

After an unknown amount of ti, the Energy Barrier on the surface of the Eternal Machine God flashed intermittently, seemingly on the verge of Collapse.

The machine body was covered with a massive number of wound marks. Many tal structures were already twisted, and there was even a wound that pierced through its chest, which was extrely unbelievable.

Pop!

Accompanied by a faint, almost imperceptible sound, the energy pressure around them instantly weakened by more than a level.

"Information State reactions weakened, Energy Reactions rising, spatial stability rising. We should have passed through the Chaos Zone..."

"The machine body's damage level has reached 74%..."

Li Yu looked at the inspection report. Although the damage was quite severe, they had finally charged out.

Eight combined into one, truly aweso.

"Andrei, are you still there?" Li Yu suddenly called out in the channel, as if rembering sothing.

After a mont of silence, a faint voice sounded: "I'm here, Lord Dragon Sovereign, I'm still here..."

"You actually didn't die." Li Yu was quite surprised. Although the Eternal Machine God had been trying its best to protect them, he wasn't sure if he could actually keep them safe.

Andrei: "..."

"As long as you're not dead. Let's keep moving forward."

The Eternal Machine God once again turned into a stream of Flowing Light, tearing through the surrounding Cosmic Space, like a cone of light, pressing forward with indomitable will.

Chapter 821: Eternal Civilization — Ultimate Intelligence

"Huh, why are the readings in this spatial Chaos Zone so anomalous? It's as if a large-scale Energy Riot occurred here..."

A lifeform that looked as lean as a monkey was fiddling in front of the Instrunts. The hair on its fingers was trimd quite appropriately, so it wouldn't interfere with its work.

"Sang Lin, you already said it's a Chaos Zone. Isn't it perfectly normal for the readings to be anomalous?" another guy with a similar appearance but several tis rounder in physique said lazily.

"Let's hurry back. We've collected just about enough of all kinds of resources. This place is very dangerous; we'd better not run around recklessly."

"Batu, you don't understand. Although this Void Storm is unstable, under normal circumstances, both the upper and lower limits of the fluctuations would be within a certain range." Sang Lin looked sowhat excited as he stared intently at the instrunt's screen and said:

"But according to the readings just detected, the upper limit of the fluctuations has already exceeded three tis the peak value. There must be an anomalous situation."

"Maybe we can find so good stuff to take back and exchange for points, so we can trade for a better Spaceship."

The Cockpit they were in was very cramped; it looked sowhat difficult to even accommodate two people.

Beneath the sowhat dilapidated tal wall panels were exposed electromagnetic twisted wires, which indeed looked very dilapidated.

"Isn't this fine as it is? Why do we insist on changing to a better Spaceship? If we have points, we might as well change our explorer jobs, to save us from coming out to risk our lives every day."

Batu curled his lips: "Just like Uncle Slin, repairing Spaceships every day; how relaxed and happy is that."

"That's too boring..." Sang Lin shook his head. Just thinking about that kind of life made him shudder involuntarily.

"Beep, beep!"

While the two were chatting idly, the Radar Panel suddenly popped up a warning, only without any voice prompt; it looked very backward.

"Detected an anomalous region. Huh, why does it look like a Black Hole reading? It even absorbed the Radar detection waves?" Sang Lin's body jolted, clearly intrigued.

However, Batu was a bit hesitant, saying: "Should we inform the Base first and have them send people..."

Swoosh!

The surface of this old Spaceship trembled incessantly. The tal shell seed like it was about to fall off as the Thrusters spewed out blazing flas.

Before Batu could finish his sentence, Sang Lin had already pulled the thrust lever to the maximum.

In a short while, the two arrived at the target region. The scene here looked a bit strange; the surrounding space was like a mirror surface, reflecting special colors.

"Spatial mirror phenonon? The space here was obviously shattered and hasn't been repaired for long." Sang Lin continuously adjusted the Instrunts. The probe of the Optical Detector contracted and locked onto an object in the center of this region.

"It seems to be a lifeform. Is it a human?" Sang Lin was sowhat surprised.

On the screen, a figure floated quietly in the Starry Sky, surrounded by dense, exceptionally magnificent flashing colors.

"Space-Tempered Crystal!" Sang Lin's eyes lit up as he looked at a small Crystal on the figure's body!

This was an extrely valuable material. It only had a chance of being produced when space beca chaotic.

"Why do I feel sothing isn't right? Sang Lin, let's go back." Batu looked around; he always felt like many people were staring at him.

"This guy seems to still be alive." Sang Lin hesitated: "Could he also be soone from a certain Wandering Outpost?"

"He has a Space-Tempered Crystal on him. If we save him and leave him near here, his life will be in danger sooner or later."

Batu's heart-pounding feeling deepened, and he couldn't help but tug at Sang Lin, saying: "Let's hurry up and leave. This place is too scary."

"Soon, wait until I pull him out." Sang Lin operated the Instrunts. The tal Clamps under the Spaceship opened, extending two mottled chanical Arms toward the direction of the lifeform.

It was just that in the Deep-Level Space, invisible to the naked eye and Radar, a large number of Transforrs were surrounding this dilapidated Spaceship, looking down on it.

"What does it want to do?" Primordial Foreseer asked hesitantly.

Every Transforr had more or less suffered so damage.

The wounds on the Eternal Machine God wouldn't vanish into thin air even after the fusion was undone; they would be distributed among the Transforrs participating in the fusion.

"It looks like it's preparing to pull Heavenly Venerable out," Celestial Paragon guessed.

"Take them out!" Heaven-Shaking Sovereign said gruffly. He had already raised his Energy Cannon, and blazing red energy quickly converged.

"Wait..." Li Yu's voice suddenly sounded, making Heaven-Shaking Sovereign pause his movents.

"Let them take back. I can use them to learn about the outside world."

Li Yu also didn't expect that he would actually be discovered while healing here.

He had already charged out of the Barren Universe Zone for a while.

Although he had borrowed the Eternal Machine God to break through the most dangerous Chaos Zone.

The latter part, although not as dangerous, wasn't too easy either.

To avoid too much damage to the Eternal Machine God, he forcefully pushed through the rest of the journey using his physical body. Although his life wasn't in danger, he still suffered so injuries.

Therefore, he was undergoing self-repair here, preparing to set off again when he was mostly healed.

He didn't expect a Spaceship to suddenly appear today, and it looked like it was preparing to pull him away.

However, this was just right; he could formally learn about the Outside Civilizations through them.

Two chanical Arms clamped onto him, and then slowly pulled him out of this region, returning to that dilapidated Spaceship.

Buzz!

The Vacuum Chamber opened, and Sang Lin Impatiently ca before Li Yu, carefully plucking that small Crystal from his body.

He couldn't help but glance at the other party, feeling that there was an inexplicable Aura about him that made him involuntarily feel a sense of reverence.

Batu also leaned in, his facial features scrunched together, and asked in confusion: "He... Ah...!"

He let out a scream and nimbly jumped to the other side of the cabin.

Because Li Yu had opened his eyes.

"Ah, so you're fine. Then I can rest assured," Sang Lin actually looked relieved.

Li Yu could vaguely understand his aning, thanks to a certain ability from Aquaman.

He didn't care about Sang Lin's little action just now; he could have as many of those small Crystals as he wanted.

The Symbiotic Colonization Armor derived a Data Probe that was hard to see with the naked eye, inserting it into the data lines through a hole in the tal wall panel.

The main control screen of this Spaceship seed to blur for a mont and then returned to normal. Li Yu also spoke: "I'm fine, thank you both for your kindness."

"It's nothing. Between Wandering Bases, we should help each other," Sang Lin waved his hand dismissively.

Li Yu's eyes flickered, based on the information he just retrieved from this Spaceship.

Wandering Outposts were gathering places for Civilization Remnants left behind after a Civilization's Demise. They wandered in the Starry Sky, Eking out a miserable existence while seeking the hope of rebuilding their civilization.

The other party obviously also considered him a mber of a Wandering Outpost.

From this, one could see how harsh the survival environnt of the Outside Civilizations was.

Within the Barren Universe Zone, although there were Civilization Remnants, they were considered a rather rare group among the stars.

But here, listening to the other party's tone, the existence of Wandering Outposts was simply commonplace.

"Where is your Wandering Outpost? How about I send you back first, or are you coming back with us?" Sang Lin asked.

"I'll go back with you guys. My Wandering Outpost has probably already moved far away from here," Li Yu shook his head and said.

Batu carefully leaned in and whispered: "Hey, Sang Lin, if we secretly bring a lifeform back and the Enforcent Team finds out, we're done for."

"It's fine, the Enforcent Team can't be bothered to search Small Spaceships like ours."

Sang Lin agreed after only hesitating for a mont.

After all, he had obtained a Space-Tempered Crystal from this guy. If he just left him here, he would feel sowhat apologetic.

Consequently, he turned the Spaceship around and prepared to return.

The information in this Spaceship was ultimately limited. Li Yu prepared to return to the Wandering Outpost with them to acquire more information.

...

Sowhere in a Star Sector an unknown distance away.

Giant planets purely made of tal floated in the Starry Sky.

They were bound by invisible forces, revolving around the Central Planet.

It wasn't a conventional star system distribution. Nearly a hundred large tal planets were arranged on the sa orbit, operating in Mutually Non-Interfering trajectories at extrely precise angles.

Normally, if there really was such a star system structure, the internal planets would have been forcefully torn apart long ago due to the chaotic Gravity.

But such a situation did not happen here.

Interstellar fortresses and heavy strongholds were scattered all over this Star Sector. The tail lights of the Thrusters echoed the starlight, looking austere yet distant.

Those carrying out activities on the planets were all chanical Lifeforms. The architectural style was also extrely heavy industry-oriented and full of geotric features.

And on the most Central Planet, there was a grayish-black tower-like tal building. Its exterior had sharp edges and corners, and complex chanical components were spread throughout the hollowed-out structure.

In the Palace, tal statues stood atop tall tal pillars. Each one was remarkably lifelike, and their designs were equally exaggerated, coming in all sorts of shapes.

And on the central tal circular altar hovered a lustrous white sphere, with data fluctuations rippling on its surface from ti to ti.

Hum!

One of the tal pillars lit up with a blue Luminescence from the bottom. Along the vertical grooves on the pillar's surface, it quickly spread to the tal statue.

The statue's pupils lit up, and its entire body beca active, as if a consciousness entity had descended here remotely.

"Ultimate Intelligence..." This statue looked at the lustrous white sphere and let out a chanized voice.

"chanical Lord Hashar, welco your descent."

His descent was like a signal. The rest of the tal pillars also gradually lit up, and nurous tal statues began to animate.

And the first thing they did after descending was to show respect to the Ultimate Intelligence.

As more and more statues animated, the place gradually beca lively.

"Hashar, I heard that you encountered quite a bit of trouble recently when conquering the civilization codenad 'Barlow'," an animated entity that looked like a chanical spider spoke up.

"Just an accident. Who knew they had a chanical Lord-level lifeform; the information collected previously was wrong," Hashar shook his head and said.

"According to the latest intelligence, Civilization Zero is sending people to explore The Ruins. Should we also make preparations early?" a chanical statue suddenly spoke.

"The Ruins is very difficult to break into. Civilization Zero is just doing useless work."

"Their internal problems are already so massive that they are irreversible. They can only use external conflicts to divert attention."

"We just need to watch calmly. Try not to Provoke Trouble with them; we don't have a second Titan Civilization to help us draw their fire."

Nurous chanical Lords were discussing here. The Ultimate Intelligence didn't express any opinions until the last tal statue animated, and then its voice sounded:

"Lords, not long ago, I sensed traces of activity from the Eternal Core."

"The Eternal Core!?" The nurous chanical Lords seed sowhat surprised.

This chanical Lord said decisively: "Impossible. The three Eternal Cores are safely stored here."

Halfway through, he added: "Of course, Ultimate Intelligence, I am not questioning you..."

"The traces of activity flashed past quickly. According to the coordinate positioning, it appeared at the edge of The Ruins." The Ultimate Intelligence continued: "Therefore, I reasonably deduce that it should be the one we lost back then when we supported the Titan Civilization."

"The one that supported the Titan Civilization?" So chanical Lords didn't quite understand until a Data flow passed through their pupils, and they learned of this piece of information.

"But that Chaos Zone is difficult to break through. How could the lost Eternal Core suddenly appear?" The chanical Lords were quite puzzled.

"The Chaos Zone surrounding The Ruins already shows signs of self-repair. The appearance of this core might be a signal. We should also set our sights on The Ruins."

The Ultimate Intelligence's voice was calm and indifferent: "During the peak of the Titan Civilization, they possessed no less than twenty-four Titan Artifacts, as well as the Supre Forge. This is a considerable amount of resources, enough to support our civilization's continued Evolution for a very long ti."

"Civilization Zero is beset with dostic strife and foreign aggression, no longer at their peak. anwhile, after such a long period of accumulation, our underlying Strength has risen. For us, the Titan Civilization Ruins are not to be missed."

Following the Ultimate Intelligence's explanation, the nurous chanical Lords also carefully analyzed it. It indeed made a lot of sense, but there was one problem constantly placed before them.

"Ultimate Intelligence, but the Chaos Zone outside The Ruins is still difficult to break through."

The Ultimate Intelligence did not answer this question, but instead issued an order: "First, go investigate the traces of the Eternal Core. chanical Lord Hashar, I will give you the coordinates. You go check it out first."

"No problem, Ultimate Intelligence." Hashar nodded. Subsequently, the lustrous blue light faded, and the tal statue returned to its previous form once again.

The Ultimate Intelligence was the administrator of the entire Eternal Civilization, forever aiming for the overall interests of the Eternal Civilization. No chanical Lord would show disrespect to it, and they would always follow its orders.

Chapter 822: Wandering Outpost

Not long after, Li Yu followed Sang Lin's Spaceship and arrived at the location of their Wandering Outpost.

This was an extrely bright patch of Starry Sky, because of the existence of a supermassive celestial body resembling a star.

More than half of the matter on its surface was gathered together as fuel, producing violent Energy Reactions at all tis.

The super-strong energy waves and light radiation released could be detected by Prism Towers from very far away.

The Scanner of the Symbiotic Colonization Armor showed that the diater of this mass of matter exceeded a hundred thousand kiloters, far larger than a regular Life Planet.

Of course, this was the average diater; its exterior was not very regular.

Although observing its shape from a distance looked sowhat like a star, its super-strong light and heat radiation, as well as its volu, all indicated that this was definitely not the sa kind of thing as a star.

At the sa ti, its relatively loose structure was also vastly different from a single planet in the ordinary sense.

Because of the violent Energy Reactions, the brightness and radiation intensity of this object were thousands of tis or even more than that of an ordinary star.

Its brightness was no longer suitable to be presented to the naked eye in the form of an image. Of course, this wasn't a problem for the accompanying Transforrs.

They didn't have biological visual systems to begin with, only using Scanners for mitic imaging.

However, Sang Lin and his companion had already put on special Glasses to avoid being burned by the brightness.

"Mr. Li Yu, here's one for you..." Sang Lin thoughtfully offered a pair of Glasses.

But Li Yu just waved his hand. Sang Lin was about to remind him that this "Special Celestial Body" was the highest crystallization of their civilization, and also their current ans of Survival.

Just the temperature and brightness of its surface were enough to ward off many dangers; the visual systems of Ordinary Lifeforms couldn't bear it at all.

But as he looked at the light reflecting in Li Yu's eyes, resembling two dazzling gems, the words at the tip of his tongue couldn't be spoken no matter what.

He had never seen a lifeform that could look directly at this Special Celestial Body.

And outside this space occupied by the Special Celestial Body, there was only the vast Dead Silent Space, and the chaotic ring zone behind it.

"There are lifeforms existing within it, hiding an Internal Space, yet existing in this external shape. Interesting..."

Li Yu's eyes were covered with special symbols. His field of vision pierced through the blazing flas on the surface and saw the central space.

There were a large number of Spaceships and spaces existing in the center of this celestial body, where many lifeforms lived, using this as a Base and constantly wandering.

And on the surface of this Special Celestial Body, there were tall Prism Towers.

Sang Lin's ship was currently located at the top of one of these Prism Towers.

Li Yu stood in front of the porthole and could see the scenery outside.

The blazing flas on the celestial body seed as if they would rush in without reservation, like a heatwave about to incinerate everything.

However, the Shield ford by the Prism Tower had already filtered out the heat and ninety-nine percent of the luminosity of this celestial body. The raging flas ford by the sunlight were just an illusion.

This was Sang Lin's Wandering Outpost. Using the Special Celestial Body as concealnt, it evaded many dangers and survived in the Universe.

Heat columns from the surface of the celestial body below rushed into space, carrying giant fuel fragnts.

One of the blazing fragnts, roughly two kiloters long, just happened to brush past the Spaceship.

It looked as if a burning continent was falling into space under reversed Gravity—a spectacular sight.

This was a very miraculous scene, and Li Yu watched with keen interest.

Right at this mont, Li Yu noticed that the "horizon" outside the Prism Tower was rising.

The broadcast from this Spaceship's Carrier Mainfra subsequently sounded:

"Positioning complete, identification code confird... Withered Leaf, begin descent. Shield and various filtering levels increased by ten percent. There might be slight turbulence, please make standard preparations against Impact..."

A not-so-violent shaking ca from beneath their feet. This Spaceship was enveloped by a thin mbrane popped out from the Prism Tower, rged into the gaseous outer shell of this celestial body, and began to descend rapidly.

The outer layer of this celestial body was not solid but gaseous, so it did not have a truly distinct "outer shell."

However, there was still a relatively distinct boundary line on its surface.

Violent Energy Reactions and super-strong Gravity pulled against each other, forming a boundary with extrely high gas matter density on the surface of the celestial body.

Fierce cyclones and turbulent heatwaves rapidly rotated on this boundary, forming an unfixed outer shell.

This outer shell was constantly changing; occasionally it would expand outward by tens of thousands of kiloters or contract inward by tens of thousands of kiloters.

The shaking that just occurred was precisely produced when the Spaceship ca into contact with the cyclones.

These circumstances were enough to explain that the civilization Sang Lin belonged to was not simple.

The temperature on the surface of this Special Celestial Body was enough to kill the vast majority of A-Tier Lifeforms.

For a conventional civilization, breaking through at this level of technological difficulty would be hard, let alone hiding a normal living space inside.

Looking out through the porthole with the naked eye, one could basically see nothing at all.

Light that far exceeded the limit filled all the surrounding space. Looking at it with the naked eye, one could only see an endless storm composed of light and heat.

The eyes of an ordinary creature would be burned out in just a millisecond in this kind of environnt.

Although Li Yu didn't care about this, he couldn't see anything valuable either.

"Attention, entering the Energy Barrier. The target will enter the traction field range in thirty seconds... Ten seconds... Five seconds... Under traction..."

As the Carrier Mainfra's voice fell, the scene outside the Spaceship suddenly changed. A large number of Spaceships and alloy fortresses appeared around them.

They floated quietly inside the celestial body. There were signs of massive lifeform activity among the Flying Vehicles coming and going. The lighting was soft, and a peaceful atmosphere prevailed, like a paradise isolated from the world.

"When the Civilization's Demise occurred, I hadn't even been born yet. According to my grandfather, at our Civilization's Apex, we controlled thousands of Star Systems and were A Radiant Star among Cosmic Civilizations."

Sang Lin's tone carried so sighing emotion. His spoken words had already been synchronously translated into a more easily understood language by the Symbiotic Colonization Armor.

"Before he died, grandfather still hoped for the civilization's revival. To , it doesn't matter. Having never seen the Civilization's Apex, I feel things are pretty good right now."

In the corner, Batu carefully observed Li Yu, always feeling that this guy was very scary.

Li Yu was Noncommittal, feeling nothing toward this. Every civilization had its own hardships; he had seen quite a few and found it hard to empathize.

"Withered Leaf, preparing for mission verification. Please prepare for delivery." A cold Artificial Intelligence voice sounded in the channel.

Following the traction glide rails, this Spaceship docked at a certain Shipyard.

The Blast Door opened, and a Robot walked in, holding a chanical Tray in its hands, and spoke: "Respected Mr. Sang Lin, please place the items you collected on the tray. I will perform an assessnt and convert them into points for you."

"Okay..." Sang Lin hurriedly walked into the Warehouse.

anwhile, Li Yu, who was hidden by Sang Lin, once again extended an imperceptible Data Probe, inserting it into this Robot's Corporeal Form to let Claptrap begin hacking into this Wandering Outpost.

Not long after, Sang Lin ca over holding a few glass boxes and carefully placed the items inside onto the chanical Tray.

"Detecting... Heavenly Star Mother Ore, mass 534 grams; Radium Core, mass 254 grams..."

"Space-Tempered Crystal!" The Robot's voice suddenly rose several octaves: "Mass 1753 grams!"

"Congratulations, Mr. Sang Lin. You have over-completed your weekly mission. 145,630 points have been paid into your account."

The Robot finished its calculations and left with the items.

"Space-Tempered Crystals are indeed valuable. A full one hundred and forty thousand points! Great, this way we can exchange for a new Spaceship!"

Batu, however, complained a bit: "Why is it only 145,630 points? According to my estimation, it should be around one hundred and fifty thousand points."

Sang Lin didn't care at all: "It's probably because the exchange price of a certain material fluctuated again. It's just a few thousand points, no need to mind."

He was a big spender of points now; a re few thousand points was just a drop in the bucket.

"Four thousand points is enough to eat several hundred hearty als..." Batu muttered. Just as he was about to pack up and leave, he inadvertently glanced over, and his face suddenly changed drastically, saying:

"Sang... Sang Lin, it's the Enforcent Team!"

"What?" Sang Lin was also stunned. Looking into the distance through the porthole, he saw a Fully ard squad slowly walking over, wearing all-tal outer armor and holding Weapons.

"It's Konis. This is troubleso. Why is he on duty today? I clearly calculated the ti; it shouldn't be him today." Sang Lin frowned tightly and glanced at Li Yu's hiding place.

"We're done for, we're done for..." Batu's face was pale, and his round body trembled non-stop.

"Calm down, it's fine. We have no suspicion of breaking the law; he can't randomly target us." Sang Lin told Batu to calm down, but it obviously didn't have much effect.

"If we're found randomly bringing in an outsider lifeform, we'll be expelled. We're done for, we're done for..."

Slap!

Batu froze, touched his own face, and looked at Sang Lin in confusion: "Did you hit ?"

"No..." Sang Lin shook his head and said solemnly: "Listen to , we must stay calm; only then is it possible to escape this ordeal."

"Okay, okay!" Batu nodded vigorously.

Right at this mont, the Blast Door was opened again. Konis walked in with his subordinates, a scrutinizing and evaluating look on his face:

"I heard you found a Space-Tempered Crystal on this mission. Quite lucky, aren't you?"

The Robot receiving the mission items had just left, and it was unknown where he had heard it from.

"It's alright," Sang Lin replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Konis looked around the cabin and said with a pointed aning: "Space-Tempered Crystals only appear in spatial fragntation regions. With the performance of this Spaceship, how could you possibly obtain one? You guys didn't commit any rule violations, did you?"

As soon as these words ca out, Batu's face turned completely white, and his body began to tremble slightly.

Konis naturally caught this scene. His eyes flickered, and he walked over to Batu, saying in a low voice: "Batu, what's wrong with you? Guilty Conscience?"

"I know you've always been timid and can't bear much pressure. What happened during your mission this ti?"

"What did Sang Lin do to get the Space-Tempered Crystal?"

"Don't worry, as long as you tell , I'll count you as innocent."

Batu's lips trembled, and then he suddenly shouted loudly: "No, Sang Lin got the Space-Tempered Crystal because of his superb skills... Don't... don't spout nonsense!"

"I know you're targeting... targeting Sang Lin because of Siphia!"

As soon as these words ca out, Sang Lin's expression changed slightly, inwardly crying out that this was bad.

Konis's face darkened. He kicked Batu to the ground and said coldly: "I suspect that the Withered Leaf pilot, Sang Lin, committed rule violations during the mission. Search the entire Spaceship and check the System Log!"

"Yes, sir!" His subordinates received the order and began taking action.

Sang Lin gritted his teeth and said: "Konis, you don't have search Authority!"

"Hehe..." Konis just glanced at him indifferently and said: "Scram to the side!"

Sang Lin's heart boiled with anger, but there was nothing he could do. He was no match for the Enforcent Team at all; rushing forward would be useless.

It clearly wasn't his shift...

Sang Lin sighed inwardly. He knew bringing Li Yu back was a violation, but other people had done such things too; as long as it wasn't brought to the surface, it would be fine.

But as luck would have it, they encountered Konis.

He had obtained the Space-Tempered Crystal from Li Yu, so he felt too embarrassed to just leave the other party to fend for himself in the Starry Sky.

He closed his eyes sowhat despairingly, watching helplessly as Konis pushed open the Blast Door, behind which was Li Yu's hiding spot.

"Reporting, everything is normal, nothing was found!" The Enforcent Team mber's voice sounded by Sang Lin's ear, and he opened his eyes in disbelief.

He saw an unbelievable scene: Konis was frowning tightly, looking around.

And Mr. Li Yu was standing right in front of him, his expression calm, not even looking at Konis.

Yet Konis seed completely unable to see Mr. Li Yu.

Batu pointed at the direction where Konis, or rather, Li Yu actually was, his face deathly pale, unable to speak a single word, his teeth chattering.

"Everything is normal?" Konis frowned, staring at Sang Lin and Batu for a few glances.

If it were normal, how could Batu have that reaction?

But they had searched every corner of this Jalopy Spaceship, and there was indeed nothing.

The System Log was also fine. Even if he was unwilling to accept it, he couldn't casually fabricate a charge for these two guys.

"Konis, I have already recorded this. You forcibly searched my Spaceship without search Authority. I will submit this record to the Court of Justice," Sang Lin said coldly.

Konis's expression changed several tis, and he shouted: "Don't forget, my father is..."

Sang Lin said in a deep voice: "I know your father is a grand judge, but don't forget, if you want Advancent, you can't have any stains on your record, not even a little bit!"

"Stop targeting from now on!"

Konis stared deadly at him. After a mont, he coldly ordered: "Let's go!"

Chapter 823: Bad Woman!

Li Yu didn't care about this minor interlude, nor did he pay any attention to this so-called Konis.

Wherever there were people, there was a societal web. Even among the Civilization Remnants Eking out a miserable existence, there were many disputes.

The Artificial Intelligence of this Wandering Outpost was no match for Claptrap. It had already been molded into Claptrap's shape, and Li Yu obtained a large amount of information from it.

This included the Basic Cosmic Situation of this Universe—

This Universe was indeed in a state of constant warfare. Weak civilizations had no chance of survival; their only fate was to be devoured by larger civilizations.

And even relatively large civilizations found it difficult to maintain stable developnt.

The Eternal Civilization, which practiced chanical Ascension, regarded the entire Universe as their resource field. They constantly launched wars of conquest, and defeated civilizations had only one fate—a Civilization's Demise!

And Li Yu also found related information about the Creator Civilization.

They were not called the Creator Civilization in this Universe, but rather Civilization Zero. It was said to be a codena spread by the Eternal Civilization.

Civilization Zero hadn't expanded outward for a long ti. The internal divisions they were experiencing were known to many civilizations.

They could be roughly divided into the Conservative Faction and the Radical Faction, and under these two major factions, there were many smaller factions.

This was enough to prove the chaotic situation within Civilization Zero.

There were also the domineering Iron-Blood Civilization, the arrogant Star Spirit Civilization, and the "Pantheon" that was Content with its corner. They traversed the Interstellar space, looking down on nurous civilizations.

At the sa ti, the boundaries of the Universe were constantly expanding, and new civilizations were discovered from ti to ti.

So weak civilizations were devoured completely without even leaving their nas behind.

Slightly stronger ones might be able to stir up a little splash, but their impact was ultimately limited.

The predecessor of this Wandering Outpost called themselves the Blazing Sun Civilization. Stars were their symbol of Faith, and their highest Technology—the Infinite Blazing Sun—was their pride.

However, a few thousand years ago, they were destroyed by the Eternal Civilization, and the Infinite Blazing Sun was also taken by the other party to be used as an Energy Core.

This was a small Infinite Blazing Sun Base. Relying on this Base, a portion of the surviving Ethnic Group was Eking out a miserable existence.

In short, this was a Universe where the Law of the Jungle was even more prevalent. Every civilization was prepared to launch a war or defend themselves at any ti.

And what was worth ntioning was that interstellar humans also existed in this Universe.

It might be that the Titan Civilization's experintal Blueprint leaked back then, leading to interstellar humans multiplying and flourishing in this Universe as well, becoming one of the Pan-Races.

There were traces of them in many Pan-Racial Civilizations, but they were not the dominant ones.

The lack of a civilization dominated by interstellar humans also led to their actual Status being relatively low, with most of them at the bottom of civilization.

And just as Li Yu expected, even in this Universe, Super Lifeforms were not seen everywhere.

At its peak, the Blazing Sun Civilization only had one Super Lifeform holding down the fort, which they called a Blazing Sun-Class Lifeform.

"Due to traversing the Barren Universe Zone previously, the Primal Transforrs have all suffered more or less damage. Repairing them will probably require a lot of materials," Li Yu pondered inwardly.

The damage to the Eternal Machine God almost reached two-thirds, which also led to the Primal Transforrs suffering heavy injuries. If they weren't repaired, the Strength they could exert would obviously be limited.

Although they could undergo self-repair, that speed was too slow; it would take When Pigs Fly to finish.

"I also need to find a place to hide the Connection Device; that's my reliance for returning."

It was through a rather clever thod of embedding it into the Symbiotic Bio-Armor that he managed to bring the Connection Device out.

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to carry out a Connection Device that was so complex and huge through the Barren Universe Zone.

Carefully considering his next plans, Li Yu found so open civilizations from the Database of this Wandering Outpost and prepared to try contacting them.

Because this Universe was sowhat like a dark forest, the vast majority of civilizations were "closed off to the outside world." Only a portion of relatively powerful civilizations allowed outsider lifeforms to enter.

"Mr. Li Yu, how... how did you do that?" Sang Lin asked hesitantly. He had already keenly sensed that this interstellar human he picked up from the outside seed very far from simple.

"Just a little trick." Li Yu didn't say much, and Sang Lin didn't press the matter. Batu's expression gradually returned to normal, and he said excitedly:

"Since we've passed this hurdle, everything will be fine afterward."

Subsequently, the two began to pack their things and leave the Spaceship. Li Yu also left with them, returning to their "ho."

They moved through this space via chanical glide rails. The tal Ropes creaked, and the safety factor was very low.

"Once we exchange for a new Spaceship, we'll be able to go to more dangerous places to execute missions. In a few years, we'll be able to exchange for a big house in the inner layer." Sang Lin spoke with beautiful longing:

"I heard that in the inner layer, they all move through teleportation channels."

Hearing this, the little fatty Batu's eyes also narrowed into slits.

Along the way, many people greeted Sang Lin, including interstellar humans, so not a single person felt surprised or astonished by Li Yu's appearance.

And their so-called ho was just a circular tal Cabin fixed in space through special ans, its exterior even sowhat decayed.

Although the materials used to build it back then were very sturdy, it was also difficult to resist thousands of years of temporal corrosion.

It was hard to say clearly which generation of owner Sang Lin was of this circular tal Cabin.

Just as they returned, a female lifeform wearing brown clothes ca over along the glide rails. The hair on her body wasn't considered very thick, and her appearance was extrely close to interstellar human Aesthetics.

A civilization that could accommodate interstellar humans wouldn't have appearances too different from theirs; otherwise, it would be difficult to get along harmoniously.

"Sang Lin, are you okay? I heard Konis went to cause trouble for you again." As soon as this female lifeform ca up, she asked with concern while subtly evaluating Li Yu.

"Siphia, I'm fine." Sang Lin smiled and shook his head.

Li Yu's mouth twitched slightly. It seed that no matter where, females were existences very prone to causing disputes.

Batu seed to want to say sothing but was interrupted by Sang Lin's look.

"And who is this?" Siphia finally asked, looking at Li Yu.

"A Friend I just t, Mr. Li Yu..." Sang Lin gave a brief introduction but didn't go into detail, even changing the subject: "Siphia, I have good news for you."

"We found a Space-Tempered Crystal while executing a mission this ti and exchanged it for one hundred and forty thousand points. I already have enough points to exchange for the Kasan Spaceship. Besides the pilot, it can also carry three operators."

"When the ti cos, you can go execute missions with us."

"A Space-Tempered Crystal! One hundred and forty thousand points!?" Siphia seed sowhat surprised, looking at Sang Lin's cheek with pleasant surprise.

But Li Yu, as if he had found sothing amusing, cast a playful gaze.

Although Siphia's mood was indeed very joyful, it was a pity that she wasn't very surprised, as if she had already known this news.

Just like her initial concern, it was mostly superficial, while her heart was very calm.

And since Sang Lin had returned here, he hadn't leaked the information about the Space-Tempered Crystal. Besides them, only Konis knew about it.

However, this had nothing to do with him, and he couldn't be bothered to remind little kid Sang Lin.

"The Kasan Spaceship only requires seventy thousand points to exchange. What are you going to do with the remaining seventy thousand?" Siphia asked innocently.

"The remaining seventy thousand needs to be transferred to Mr. Li Yu here," Sang Lin said.

Li Yu, who was looking down at this space, was slightly taken aback. Why is there a share for ?

"Transferred to him?" Siphia's expression changed slightly, but she managed to squeeze out a smile and asked: "Why is that?"

"Uh..." Sang Lin scratched his head and said: "Being able to find the Space-Tempered Crystal this ti is inextricably linked to Mr. Li Yu, so we definitely have to give half to him."

Siphia could no longer maintain the smile on her face, but she didn't say much else, instead saying: "Sang Lin, exchanging for a fighter jet is not sothing to be rushed. You just ca back from executing a mission; rest for a few days first."

"When it's ti to exchange it, rember to call over."

"Mhm, definitely," Sang Lin nodded. The two whispered for a while longer before Siphia left leisurely.

Sang Lin had a silly smile rippling on his face, only restraining it slightly after walking toward Li Yu, saying apologetically: "Mr. Li Yu, the Space-Tempered Crystal was found on your body, so it should be your item..."

Li Yu waved his hand, signaling the other party not to say anymore: "If you like it, I'll just give it to you."

"No, I definitely have to give you half. This Base of ours uses points as circulating Currency. I'm afraid you'll have to live here for a long ti; without points, it's hard to move an inch," Sang Lin insisted.

Seeing this, Li Yu didn't say anything more. Pushing it back and forth was just a waste of ti.

However, this little kid Sang Lin was quite interesting.

And sothing even more interesting happened a month and a half later.

"My Lord, the Connection Device has been set up, and it indeed can generate a reaction, but to completely open it up will still take so ti."

Andrei was reporting to him.

When he left, he had instructed Peyton to keep the Connection Device in an activated state at all tis, precisely to make it convenient for testing.

During this period, he let Andrei take charge of this matter, not to return right now, but to determine whether this thing was actually useful or not.

Now it seed that it was indeed useful.

"Mhm, continue proceeding, try to connect." Li Yu nodded and instructed.

"Heavenly Venerable..." A Primal Transforr suddenly cut into the channel:

"A large-scale fleet has just been detected. Its forward target is exactly the Wandering Outpost you are currently in."

"Oh?" Li Yu was sowhat surprised, and imdiately asked: "What level of combat power?"

"There are a few A-rank Energy Reactions, but not too strong."

"Mhm, I know." Li Yu thought for a mont and didn't care: "Don't interfere with their normal advancent."

"Yes!"

Right at this mont, the tal Cabin door was suddenly opened. The little fatty Batu ca in with a tearful face and said: "Mr. Li Yu, please save Sang Lin."

"Sang Lin?" Li Yu was sowhat surprised. He glanced at Sang Lin, who was being dragged by the little fatty, and said: "He's just drunk, it's nothing."

"No, his points... were scamd by that bad woman!" Batu's face scrunched together, looking as if he was about to burst into tears at any mont.

"Huh?" Li Yu was also a bit surprised and asked: "What happened?"

"Today we were originally going to prepare to exchange for a new Spaceship, but Siphia said previously that her uncle has an internal channel and could exchange it at a twenty percent discount, but she had to do the exchange personally," the little fatty narrated:

"Also, the minimum requirent was to exchange for two."

Sang Lin only planned to exchange for one, so he didn't think about using her channel.

"But not long ago, Sang Lin heard that soone else also wanted to exchange, so..."

"So Sang Lin prepared to exchange for two, and then use the other one to earn the price difference, right?" Li Yu finished the sentence for him.

"Yes, and... and today Sang Lin even saw Siphia secretly eting with Konis." Batu's mouth widened, seeming about to cry.

Li Yu couldn't help but chuckle; it really was a simple scam.

However, that Siphia was already deeply trusted by Sang Lin to begin with, so it wasn't surprising that Sang Lin was scamd.

"Tsk, an Enforcent Team officer with a deep background, versus a poor kid—even an Idiot would know how to choose," Li Yu couldn't help but laugh.

Sang Lin was dead drunk, showing almost no reaction to the outside world, muttering sothing unknown in his mouth.

Half a day later, Sang Lin stood in front of Li Yu with a guilty expression, saying: "Mr. Li Yu, I'm sorry... The points were all scamd away."

Under normal circumstances, he could get around five thousand points per mission.

One hundred and forty thousand points would require twenty-eight missions. Factoring in preparation ti, mission execution ti, and resting ti, it would take at least a month and a half to two months no matter how you looked at it.

To accumulate that amount, it would take at least three years. Adding in daily expenses, this ti would have to be doubled.

More importantly... Siphia, why...

Li Yu could easily feel the pain in his heart and chuckled softly: "No need to feel guilty towards . I told you before, since you like it, I'll just give it to you."

Hearing this, Sang Lin felt even more pain and guilt in his heart.

Just as he was about to speak, the cabin door was suddenly kicked open, and two figures stood in the doorway.

Sang Lin's expression changed slightly. The two standing at the door were none other than Konis and Siphia.

Konis stared at Sang Lin with a look of disdain. Siphia was forcefully held in his embrace; her expression seed sowhat reluctant, and she didn't dare to look at Sang Lin.

"What are you doing here!?" Batu couldn't help but shout.

"The mandatory mission ti is almost up. I heard you sold off that Jalopy Spaceship of yours. If you don't have a new Spaceship, how are you going to complete the mission?"

Konis caressed Siphia while looking at Sang Lin.

"Siphia, you... why?" Sang Lin looked at Siphia and couldn't help but ask.

"Why!?" Siphia seed to be enraged by this question.

"Because you wanted to exchange for a new Spaceship and transfer the points to that guy, but you never thought about !" She pointed at Li Yu and shouted.

"I didn't say..." Sang Lin wanted to explain.

"Say what? Say you'd bring along to execute missions? But is executing missions an enjoynt? Executing missions is fraught with danger; only an Idiot like you would like it!"

On the surface, Siphia looked like an enraged lioness, using this to cover up the guilt and unease in her heart.

Chapter 824: Ganging Up

The purpose of Konis's visit was very simple: to show off his might and declare his victory.

The points were gone, and so was the person.

Looking at Sang Lin, who looked as if he had been struck by lightning and had lost his soul, the sheer delight in Konis's heart was beyond words.

"You dare to compete with ? Look at what qualifications you have first." Konis dropped a sentence and left with Siphia.

"Sang Lin..." Batu carefully touched Sang Lin.

"I'm fine..." Sang Lin's tone was hoarse, and his face was gloomy.

Right at this mont, a violent roar suddenly resounded.

Rumble!

The entire Internal Space was shaking. Batu looked bewildered, and then the alarm sounded—

"Warning, an unknown fleet is approaching, suspected to be Space Pirates. Please prepare for battle!"

The alarm repeated several tis, and Batu's face turned deathly pale again: "Space... Space Pirates!?"

...

At the sa ti, outside the Infinite Blazing Sun, a large fleet had already surrounded this celestial body layer by layer. Their surfaces were covered with high-temperature-resistant barriers, and various equipnt was highly targeted.

In the Main Ship, several lifeforms of Non-human races gathered together, staring at the giant ball of light on the screen.

"The Infinite Blazing Sun. After searching for so long, we finally found it." They looked excited, waving their appendages.

"This thing is worth a fortune. Many civilizations covet it; it can definitely be sold for an astronomical price."

"Be careful, their ard Strength is not bad. Don't capsize the boat in a small gutter," a guy in the center who looked like an octopus said coldly.

"Understood. Prepare the high-temperature-resistant assault drills to penetrate directly into the core. These people have been wandering for so many years; they've long lost their bloodlust!"

"Continue the attack! Chisel out a passage for !"

A series of orders were issued, and this group of Space Pirates thodically began their operation. Azure Light Beams shot at the surface of the Infinite Blazing Sun, disrupting the Energy Reactions within.

A large number of tal drills carrying ionic energy drilled toward the depths of space, quickly leaving a passable channel.

Subsequently, the Fully ard assault team began to extend into the channel along the tracks, heading toward the depths of the space.

But the Infinite Blazing Sun's counterattack also began. The blazing flas on the surface suddenly soared, and storms of raging flas lted the Space Pirates midway into slag.

The vast majority of people died before even getting close to the Infinite Blazing Sun.

However, a small portion of relatively strong Space Pirates evaded the fla storms. With the help of the fleet's cooling rays, they entered the path opened by the high-temperature-resistant drills and entered the Internal Space.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Energy Beams shot out in all directions. The mont those Space Pirates landed, they began a large-scale massacre, and wails were Ringing in One's Ears.

"Quick, hide quickly!" Sang Lin couldn't care about his sorrow and said to Batu and Li Yu.

"Wherever Space Pirates pass, there will definitely be wails everywhere."

In fact, most Space Pirates were also the sparks left behind by destroyed civilizations, only they had taken a different path, relying on plundering to survive.

And Wandering Outposts were their main plundering targets.

However, Li Yu's eyes flickered and he frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about sothing.

Boom!

An Energy Beam pierced through the Chains fixing the tal Cabin.

Instantly, the tal Cabin shook non-stop, looking as if it would fall at any mont.

At the sa ti, a Space Pirate wearing black Armor, holding a chanical Long Sword, had already charged over.

"Be careful!" Sang Lin subconsciously went to pull Li Yu, but then discovered in astonishnt that the latter was like a Giant Stone, difficult to pull.

Forced by the situation, he could only leap forward, wanting to knock the Space Pirate away.

However, an astonishing thing happened. The Space Pirate in front of him suddenly exploded into fine powder and disappeared on the spot.

Sang Lin was dumbfounded. Before he knew what happened, Li Yu's voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "eting is a kind of fate. We've known each other for a month and a half, so I'll give you sothing."

A golden Light Beam surged into Sang Lin's body. Boom!

Electric Arcs shot out in all directions. The hair all over Sang Lin's body stood on end, and his pupils were filled with escaping Electric Arcs.

"This is..." Sang Lin raised his hand in disbelief.

Batu blinked his eyes. How did Sang Lin transform!?

The anomaly here had already attracted the attention of quite a few Space Pirates, and several of them imdiately charged toward him.

He subconsciously reached out his hand, and a Lightning Pillar shot out, directly turning the opponents into charred corpses.

"This kind of power..." His heart was agitated, and he subconsciously looked in the direction where Li Yu was, but that spot was already completely empty.

Unable to think too much about it, he grabbed Batu, brought him to a safe location, and then turned around to charge back into the battlefield.

This was his ho, after all; he wouldn't allow these Space Pirates to massacre at will.

On the other side, Konis dragged Siphia along as they leaped between the cabins, his face extrely gloomy.

It was truly unlucky. He just ca out to show off his might once, and he actually ran into Space Pirates.

The Outer Space Layer was exactly the buffer zone to deal with attacks, ant to buy more preparation ti for the inner layer.

He knew that the High Echelons wouldn't invest too much power to save the outer layer at all.

"Fuck, it's all that Idiot's fault!" Konis barely dodged an Energy Beam and couldn't help but curse angrily, while Siphia in his arms was already speechless with fright.

Boom!

Another Energy Beam shot over. Unable to dodge in ti, his shoulder was directly hit. He fell onto a platform, rolling a few tis before landing.

He forcibly endured the pain. Several Space Pirates had already surrounded him.

"Damn it, bringing Siphia is too much of a burden..." Konis's eyes flickered. Siphia in his arms seed to realize sothing and hurriedly said: "Konis, don't abandon ... don't..."

"Scram!" Konis snorted coldly, ruthlessly pushed Siphia away, and simultaneously prepared to break out of the encirclent.

Boom! Crackle!

A Lightning Pillar descended from the sky. Amidst the blinding Lightning Glow, a figure directly turned the surrounding Space Pirates into charred corpses.

Li Yu had directly enhanced Sang Lin to the level of a B-Tier Lifeform, which was enough to deal with the current situation.

Konis imdiately froze in place, looking at the lightning-wreathed figure in front of him with sowhat bewildered uncertainty.

He didn't rember there being such a powerhouse in the Ethnic Group, and the other party's back figure seed sowhat familiar.

In the next second, he turned around, and Konis couldn't help but shout: "It's you, how is that possible!?"

It was actually Sang Lin. How did this Idiot beco so strong!?

Sang Lin!?

Siphia was also stunned, staring blankly at the figure in front of her, an indescribable emotion surging into her heart.

"It's not safe here. Leave quickly," Sang Lin said indifferently.

Siphia's expression fluctuated. She forced out a smile and said: "Sang Lin, actually, before I..."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The surveillance caras around them exploded one after another. Sang Lin said in a low voice: "Having the Recording from just now is enough, right..."

Konis had a bad premonition in his heart and couldn't help but say: "Big Brother Sang Lin, you..."

Boom!

Lightning Glow surged, and Konis was directly turned into dust; not even a speck of slag remained.

Siphia's face turned deathly pale, and she couldn't help but plead: "Sang Lin, I was coerced by him. I didn't want to either. Please look at our past..."

"You originally could have had a stable life. What a pity." Sang Lin closed his eyes. A flash of Lightning Glow passed by, and the whole world went quiet.

A mont later, Sang Lin muttered in a low voice: "Thank you..."

...

Outside the Infinite Blazing Sun, Li Yu seed to sense sothing. He glanced down and already knew what had happened.

"Not bad, ruthless enough."

Li Yu nodded and said. Enhancing Sang Lin was just a whim without any particular reason. Everything that followed had nothing to do with him either.

"Where is that Super Lifeform now?" he asked in the channel.

The reason he left the Infinite Blazing Sun was naturally not because of these Space Pirates, but because the Transforrs had detected an unknown Super Lifeform.

"Heavenly Venerable, it has arrived..." As soon as Primordial Foreseer's words fell, a patch of blue-white light swept over from the Depths of Cosmic Space.

The blue-white light looked incomparably magnificent, yet it contained energy capable of destroying everything.

As far as the eye could see, the Space Pirates' warships lted at an astonishing speed, just like ice cubes placed on a red-hot iron plate, quickly turning into steam.

A single attack directly cleared out this Star Sector.

The chain reaction caused by this attack was not over yet.

The Gravity of the Infinite Blazing Sun was obviously thrown out of balance. Large chunks of rock in a molten state detached from the Ground and rushed rapidly towards the sky.

Although protected by the Shield, the Internal Space was still shaking violently.

In the areas swept by the blue-white light, the Infinite Blazing Sun began to take on a deep black-red color, carrying a sense of ruined gloominess.

The surface of the devastated celestial body was already covered with faintly visible cracks, like an ancient clay vase.

And at the edge of the celestial body, near the horizon, a blinding blue-white band of light was flashing continuously.

It gave people the illusion that another sun was rising over there.

Following the blue-white light was a streak of Flowing Light that was difficult to see with the naked eye, hovering above the Infinite Blazing Sun.

The upright silver-white tallic Corporeal Form reflected brilliant light. The swinging of its thick, giant chanical tail caused spatial turbulence. Its four limbs were covered with tal Scale Armor, which undulated continuously with Energy Fluctuations.

It looked like a chanical lizard standing upright on its hind legs.

"chanical Lord—Hashar," Li Yu muttered, staring at him.

In the Infinite Blazing Sun's Database, there was related information about this guy.

He was a chanical Lord from the Eternal Civilization, looking down on a region and feared by countless civilizations.

When the Space Pirates launched their attack, he had received news from the Transforrs that they had detected a Super Lifeform heading in this direction.

If the appearance of the Space Pirates was just a coincidence, then this Super Lifeform was definitely not a coincidence.

"The Infinite Blazing Sun..." Hashar obviously recognized the Wandering Outpost below.

But he didn't care either. Substantive Data Streams shot out from his chanical pupils, entering the Infinite Blazing Sun.

The next mont, a giant projection screen covered the entire space. Hashar was within it, looking down at the bottom, and simultaneously, his voice sounded:

"A month and a half ago, did you detect any anomalous Energy Fluctuations?"

"Those who can provide clues will be rewarded by the Eternal Civilization."

Nurous Civilization Remnants of the Blazing Sun Civilization looked at this scene in terror, shivering.

The High Echelons of the inner layer gathered together, their expressions uneasy. The one who destroyed them was the Eternal Civilization, so they naturally knew how terrifying the other party was.

However, the other party's question was very broad, and for a mont they didn't know what to do.

They didn't have any relevant information to provide.

Hashar had imdiately scanned the Infinite Blazing Sun's Database, but unfortunately found nothing, so he could only ask using this thod.

He had already been wandering in this area for a period of ti and had found nothing all along.

But the Ultimate Intelligence couldn't be wrong; it definitely had to be in this area. It was just that his movents were too slow, and he didn't know where the Eternal Core had run off to.

"A month and a half ago..." Sang Lin froze for a mont, looking down at his hands covered in Thunder. Wasn't that exactly when he discovered Mr. Li Yu?

"It seems he ca precisely for ." Li Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.

A chanical Lord of the Eternal Civilization ca for him; the only thing he could think of was the Eternal Core.

But that thing was embedded in the Symbiotic Bio-Armor, so the Eternal Civilization shouldn't be able to detect it.

No... unless they could Monitor the activity traces of the Eternal Machine God.

When he arrived in this Universe, the Eternal Machine God still existed for a period of ti. Perhaps it was during that period that the Eternal Civilization noticed.

"Eternal Civilization..."

Li Yu's expression flickered, and his figure gradually erged from the Survival Space.

His appearance imdiately attracted Hashar's attention. Various detection equipnt locked onto the other party at the first mont, but Gained Nothing.

"A chanical Lord level, to actually hide so well..." Hashar's chanical pupils contracted erratically, tightly locking onto the other party.

"Your Excellency seems to be looking for ?" Li Yu spoke directly.

"No, I am looking for..." Hashar said halfway, then suddenly realized and asked in confusion: "The Eternal Core is on you? Why didn't I detect it?"

However, he didn't dwell on it for too long, imdiately saying: "The Eternal Core is an item of our Eternal Civilization, please return it."

"Return it?" Li Yu laughed and said: "What if I say no?"

"Then that is making an enemy of the Eternal Civilization!" Hashar's attitude was tough.

"Making an enemy of the Eternal Civilization?" Li Yu's smile grew wider.

Hashar was just about to say sothing when his Scanner alard frantically—

"Detected a chanical Lord."

"There are other chanical Lords?" Hashar stared vigilantly at the twisted space around him.

Then, tall tal figures surfaced all around, each one exuding an astonishing Aura. There were fully eight of them.

"Eight chanical Lords!?"

Hashar's chanical pupils rotated at high speed, obviously deeply shocked.

How could there be so many!?

Chapter 825: Virtual Armant?

"Who exactly are these people!?"

Hashar looked around. This number and scale of lord-level lifeforms obviously made him very surprised.

The only piece of good news was that all of these chanical Bodies had extrely severe injuries.

Being able to produce injuries that even lord-level lifeforms couldn't self-repair was enough to prove that they had gone through a tragic battle or sothing similar previously.

What was it that required nine lord-level lifeforms to fight together, and still left them heavily injured?

Could it be...

Suddenly, he thought of the Eternal Core.

Right at this mont, the eight Ancestral Pris had already surrounded him.

Li Yu himself hadn't expected that he would be targeted by the Eternal Civilization as soon as he arrived in this Universe. This was obviously sothing he very much didn't want to see.

What was even more troubleso was that the two sides were using the Eternal Core as a point of conflict, which was almost irreconcilable.

He had even foreseen the developnt of the situation.

Minor Conflicts would escalate into major conflicts, major conflicts would escalate into war, and war would escalate into a Fight to the death.

Unless one side completely beat the other into submission. Just thinking about it was headache-inducing.

"Surrender without putting up a fight!" Primordial Foreseer issued a warning, pressing closer step by step.

The next mont, heavy tal Books composed of precise chanical structures appeared beside Hashar. Like a Stellar Ring, they slowly rotated around him, emitting surging Energy Fluctuations.

Swish swish swish—

The tal Books opened, and the pages made of special tals rapidly flipped.

A profound Energy Radiance suddenly spread out, and a special field unfolded. Like a dark blue spherical energy shield, it enveloped him within, covering a very large area.

Observed from the Interior, the inner wall of the field had a dark blue base.

Streaks of bright blue and incandescent Energy flows circulated on it. The whole thing looked like a blue curtain dotted with starlight stripes.

The Hashar Field Barrier possessed extrely powerful defensive capabilities, and within the field, he would also receive nurous buffs while enemies would be weakened.

Hashar didn't even need scanning equipnt to tell that these eight Super Lifeforms had suffered very serious injuries.

Although he wasn't clear on what had happened before, he knew that this was his chance.

Of course, not a chance to counter-kill, but a chance to break out of the encirclent.

Even with their bodies damaged, it was impossible for him to defeat the opponents relying solely on himself. Seeking the possibility of breaking out was the normal choice.

He was surrounded in the center and didn't act rashly for the ti being.

But one of the Super Primal King Kongs—Master Titanium—had already taken action.

A massive amount of Energy Cannons appeared around his body, and the surging artillery fire headed towards Hashar like shooting stars!

But after those Energy Cannons entered the field's range, they disappeared into the inner wall of the field, like a Clay Ox Entering The Sea, as if they had been absorbed.

And the mont physical missiles touched the dark blue outer wall, a dazzling ball of energy imdiately exploded, bouncing them away.

"This field is very special. It's not just a pure energy field, but also mixed with Information State Solidification. Pure energy is very difficult to pose a threat to it."

After a simple probing attack, the nurous Super Primal King Kongs had roughly figured out the defensive scope of the field.

"Unknown Lords, shall we discuss this?" Hashar issued a probing inquiry.

After the words fell, a few seconds passed.

The Ancestral Pris temporarily suspended the Communication Blockade, turned to look at Li Yu, opened the communication channel, and transmitted Li Yu's ssage:

"Discuss what?"

"I respect your Strength, but the Eternal Civilization looks down upon the Universe. So things perhaps don't need to be solved with force," Hashar said.

Hearing this, Li Yu couldn't help but laugh. Just now he was threatening him, but now "so things perhaps don't need to be solved with force."

These chanical Lords were essentially not born from the tamorphosis of pure intelligent consciousness.

The Eternal Civilization was originally not a chanical civilization. It was just that they chose chanization, uploading their consciousness to achieve a certain sense of immortality.

Those manipulating these chanical Bodies were essentially the original lifeforms who uploaded their consciousness, not the sublimation of Artificial Intelligence.

Therefore, compared to normal lifeforms, their way of thinking hadn't changed much.

"Your Excellency, don't joke around. If I let you go today, what awaits will be the Eternal Civilization's endless pursuit, right?" Li Yu said.

Even though his intentions were exposed, Hashar didn't feel awkward at all, saying: "Even if you succeed in keeping here today, the Ultimate Intelligence will know everything."

The Ultimate Intelligence, the supre administrator of the Eternal Civilization, a mysterious and unfathomable existence.

So civilizations rumored that it possessed supre might.

But so civilizations also believed that it was just an Artificial Intelligence, rely the administrator of the Eternal Civilization.

"Since you won't let off either way, then there's no need to waste ti." Li Yu waved his hand.

Tut-tut-tut-tut!!

The eight Ancestral Pris imdiately surrounded him and focused their fire on Hashar.

But he had already made preparations. Layers upon layers of energy Shields protected him.

At the sa ti, he moved at high speed to dodge the attacks. Energy Beams were released from his hands one after another, wildly bombarding and counterattacking.

The area of the field enveloping his body was very large, and it caused so impact when it enveloped the Ancestral Pris.

It also gave Hashar enough space to kite them, allowing him to maintain the battle in a mid-range combat mode, exchanging fire with each other.

This prevented him from falling into the predicant of being ganged up on by multiple opponents.

"Offense is not the goal. Finding an opportunity to break out is." While paying attention to the positions of the other Ancestral Pris, Hashar tried to find a way to break out.

Suddenly, a change occurred in the formation of the Ancestral Pris, and a gap appeared in their blockade, which he spotted at a glance.

"Opportunity!"

Hashar released a large-scale Space-Ti Distortion ripple. Invisible Shockwaves shot out with a bang, forcibly causing the space-ti blockade in this place to fluctuate.

In the next mont, he was going to perform a long-distance teleportation maneuver.

Right at this instant, Hashar's auxiliary Combat System alarm blared!

In a split second, Hashar hurriedly dodged.

An axe wrapped in purple energy flew over from afar, carrying an irresistible force.

It collided with his field Shield, energy surged, and then it easily tore through his field Shield, brushing past his chanical combat body.

Instantly, because the field was broken, Heaven-Shaking Sovereign's speed sharply increased. After rapidly closing the distance, he burst forth with a concussive energy wave, directly swatting Hashar away!

At the sa ti, without the obstruction of the field, the other major Ancestral Pris also closed in.

Primordial Foreseer's streamlined body fiercely pursued, seizing the opportunity gained from the sneak attack. As soon as he engaged, he unleashed a set of smooth and flowing combos, giving Hashar no ti to breathe.

Hashar hadn't parried a few tis before a strong sense of crisis struck from behind again. Phantom Celestial Spirit vanished in a flash, erupting with brilliant light, and the machine body on Hashar's back suffered damage.

Without the obstruction of the field, the Ancestral Pris finally all took action at this mont, with clear division of labor and Tacit Understanding.

And because the sneak attack succeeded, Hashar imdiately fell into a passive state.

"Fighting one-on-one" with eight chanical Lord-level lifeforms at the sa ti... Hashar was a bit unable to hold on.

Even if their machine bodies were damaged and their injuries severe, he couldn't withstand their sheer numbers.

There was no trickery involved; it was completely a crushing defeat in pure hard strength. The scene quickly turned into a one-sided beating.

The Infinite Blazing Sun below tottered amidst the surging Energy Fluctuations around it.

The rumbling sounds in the Interior were Ringing in One's Ears. Detection equipnt could only scan a vast expanse of white; no one knew what was happening inside.

Hashar gritted his chanical teeth tightly, enduring the fierce attacks of the Ancestral Pris, the energy in his body depleting and flowing out like floodwaters.

His heart was filled with a sense of unbelievable absurdity and a powerlessness that penetrated deep into his bones.

More importantly, he recognized the axe that had just broken his field defense.

"This giant axe is the Titan Artifact of the Royal Blood Titan! How could it be in your hands!"

A Weapon of this level was naturally recorded in the Database.

However, this thing should have been buried in "The Ruins" along with the Titan Civilization.

Except, this place was near The Ruins, plus these heavily injured lord-level chanical Bodies, and the activity traces of the Eternal Core...

Integrating various factors together, the Intelligent Nodes in his body trembled, deriving an astonishing event speculation.

Amidst the siege, Hashar forcefully squeezed out a voice: "Are you a lifeform from inside The Ruins, using the Eternal Core in combination with these eight major chanical Bodies to forcefully charge out!?"

In the event model he constructed using these integrated factors, the probability of this matter was quite low.

Because the Eternal Core was the highest technological crystallization of their Eternal Civilization, tailor-made specifically for the characteristics of the Eternal Civilization.

Needless to say about things like Authority, it was impossible for it to be simply used by other lifeforms.

"Oh, you guessed it."

Li Yu wasn't surprised. Combined with the known clues, it was very easy for these intelligent chanical Bodies to build event models and conduct a massive amount of feasibility analysis in a short period of ti.

"How... how did you do it!?" Hashar couldn't help but ask.

"You should worry about yourself first." Li Yu naturally wouldn't explain.

His chanical pupils flashed, and ribbon-like Energy Rings surfaced all around. Blue energy whipped up like a Whirlwind, rapidly expanding into an Energy Storm.

The violent energy forcibly separated the Ancestral Pris engaged in close combat, creating a brief space for damage output.

Hashar was in the eye of the wind. His chanical Corporeal Form expanded, and the Energy Storm rapidly condensed, shrinking into thousands of Energy Cannons suspended around his body. The high-density energy seed to materialize, turning into crystal-clear athyst.

In the next mont, the Energy Beams suddenly shot out in all directions, explosively blowing up clusters of bright blue Energy Blasts with a boom.

Bang bang bang bang!!

Ripples of Impact spread outwards. At the sa ti, this special energy carried an Information State erosion effect, forcing the already severely injured Ancestral Pris to temporarily stop their movents.

Hashar's movents didn't stop. The tal Books suddenly scattered, all the tal pages fluttering and dancing, turning into a ring-shaped rotating blurred band of light lingering around his body.

A large number of tallic structures erged from the band of light, as if they were going to assemble onto his body.

Buzz buzz buzz—

A section of a tal-cast chanical block extended out at an angle, gradually revealing its full appearance.

"Stop him!"

A gleam flashed in Primordial Foreseer's eyes. Although he didn't know what Hashar was doing, stopping him definitely couldn't be wrong.

"Is this guy about to transform?"

Li Yu always felt a bizarre sense of déjà vu about the situation before his eyes.

He didn't understand the Eternal Civilization's combat thods.

And looking at the current trend, making enemies with the other party in the future was unavoidable. That was why he wasn't in a hurry to take the other party down, wanting to see what kind of fancy tricks Hashar could pull off.

After all, there was absolutely no way he would hand over sothing like the Eternal Core.

It was also impossible to hand it over because once the Eternal Core was taken out of the Symbiotic Bio-Armor, it would imdiately turn into fine powder on the spot.

"I am a chanical Lord of the Eternal Civilization—Hashar! Want to defeat ? It won't be that easy!"

Hashar pursed his lips tightly, and his will to fight burned brightly.

A large number of tallic structures extended out section by section. The Ancestral Pris changed their attack targets, bombarding these tallic structures.

Energy Shields subsequently erged, like a semi-transparent light blue Protective Shield. It continuously resisted the focused fire, vibrating incessantly and exploding with rings of light waves and Electric Arcs.

Hashar outputted energy with all his might, and a dark blue radiance surged from his body.

Suddenly, the space behind him rippled. Phantom Celestial Spirit teleported inside the Shield. The sharp bladed teeth, carrying Electric Arcs, carved out a sharp cold glint.

In the nick of ti, Hashar hurriedly twisted his body. It brushed past him, sending up a shower of sparks.

Even so, a part of his machine body still suffered damage, and electrical sparks flew in all directions!

Hashar ignored it, his chanical pupils bursting with brilliant light.

"Virtual Armant, descend!"

Boom!

Presented before everyone was a tal Block. The base was a massive disc, and multicolored Energy Radiance flowed within it.

Countless Data Streams ford a spherical cover, wrapping the tal Block within. It was slowly rotating, or perhaps it was completing its transformation from virtual to reality.

A massive number of chanical structures unfolded, covering Hashar's body.

A thunderous chanical battle roar shook the Starry Universe: "Since you want to start a war with the Eternal Civilization, then bring it on!"

"This is..." A hint of surprise flashed in Li Yu's eyes, feeling sowhat taken aback.

He could feel that this thing possessed extraordinary power. If Hashar was allowed to equip it, his combat effectiveness would definitely increase significantly.

Subsequently, he opened his hand, activating the fragnt of the Annihilation Device, and simultaneously, the [Hawkeye Emblem] flashed.

A thick gray mist enveloped Hashar. His chanical pupils were seen to be filled with gray, and his auxiliary Combat System issued a violent alarm.

"Warning... ntal Defense Barrier has been shattered. Event matching... Annihilation Device locked on!"

"Please take evasive action imdiately!"

"Annihilation Device!?"

This was Hashar's final thought before he lost his Self-awareness.

Chapter 826: Trinity!

"Heavenly Venerable, it is our incompetence!"

Led by Primordial Foreseer, the Ancestral Pris half-knelt In the starry expanse, their tones filled with guilt.

In the battle just now, the role they played was limited, and in the end, the supre Heavenly Venerable even had to step in to resolve the final battle. This was their sha.

"I don't bla you. The damage to your Machine Bodies hasn't been repaired yet, so it's normal that your combat effectiveness is less than one-tenth." Li Yu didn't mind.

Hashar had fallen into a state of stagnation, currently fighting against the Annihilation Device.

anwhile, the "Virtual Armant" he summoned hovered In the starry expanse, exuding an imposing aura. It hadn't fully deployed yet, carrying various Weaponry and Amplification devices.

"Converting virtual into reality? It's indeed astonishing, truly worthy of the Eternal Civilization." Li Yu circled around the "Virtual Armant."

Through the slight bits of information he absorbed, he understood that this thing was essentially virtual data, just converted into reality through a special Technology.

"Although it can't compare to a Titan Artifact, it's still an outstanding Weapon," Li Yu estimated.

He dug the Thunder Battle Armor out of the Symbiotic Colonization Armor and then embedded this thing in.

[Virtual Armant: The fourth greatest technological crystallization of the Eternal Civilization. A technological weapon created using virtual rule conversion technology, enhancing the combat power of combat chanical bodies.]

"It sounds like a high-tier application of the Reality Stone, but it should be sowhat different."

Li Yu pondered over it, and then sighed with emotion: "Truly worthy of the Eternal Civilization."

After all, when he previously obtained the Eternal Core that the Eternal Civilization had provided to support the Titan Civilization, its description still stated it was one of the three supre technological crystallizations of the Eternal Civilization.

And now, a fourth supre technological crystallization had appeared.

No wonder after the Civilization's Demise of the Titan Civilization, the Eternal Civilization was able to rise from a civilization inferior to the Titan Civilization to beco one of the strongest civilizations in the Universe today.

Even if the Star Glory Empire was given hundreds of thousands of years, they couldn't possibly touch upon this kind of virtual conversion technology.

This thing didn't have much use for him, so he subsequently dug it back out.

It seed that due to a lack of energy supply, this thing was gradually beginning to dissipate and looked as if it would soon disappear.

The eight Ancestral Pris had already firmly controlled Hashar, restricting the operation of his Energy Core and the various components of his Machine Body.

"Let's change locations. This place isn't quite suitable for an interrogation..." Li Yu said, looking around.

"Yes!"

...

While they were fighting fiercely, the Infinite Blazing Sun base below was trembling with fear.

Hashar's data projection had already disappeared. Nurous Civilization Remnants of the Blazing Sun Civilization hugged each other, their faces pale and shivering. They simply had no idea what had happened outside.

"Little guy, I'll leave you with one last sentence. Leave this base as early as possible, and bring the people you care about. The Eternal Civilization is going to go crazy next."

Li Yu's voice suddenly sounded in Sang Lin's ear. He froze for a mont, his expression changing several tis, looking at the Inner Layer Zone that was already tightly sealed off.

From the ti the Space Pirates attacked, the connection channels between the inner and outer layers had already been closed. It was obvious that the High Echelon treated these people in the outer layer as a barrier and at shields.

This made him clench his fists tightly, as if he had made so kind of resolution.

The detection equipnt of the Infinite Blazing Sun couldn't record the battle situation just now and couldn't expose any information. Li Yu couldn't be bothered to deal with this base either.

It was just that with Hashar going missing here, the Eternal Civilization would definitely take large-scale action next, and the Infinite Blazing Sun would just have to fend for itself.

As for Sang Lin, the information that little guy knew was limited, just a na, so there was no need to care too much about it.

...

In the silent starry expanse, the crew Li Yu had brought along was all here.

Andrei stared at Hashar and, listening to Li Yu's narration, sighed:

"Virtual Armant, what a truly astonishing Technology. The Eternal Civilization's path of developnt is indeed very reasonable."

"According to the past speculations of the Life Titans, those consciousness entities uploaded by the Eternal Civilization all survive in so kind of Data Space, enjoying ultimate bliss."

"At the sa ti, they can gather the power of the entire civilization in the Main Universe to continuously undergo Evolution, without the slightest waste."

"They have the capital to co from behind and dominate the Universe."

Li Yu nodded. On the path of evolving an entire race, the Eternal Civilization had obviously gone much further.

As for Civilization Zero, they originally also had such a trend. They seed to use the Annihilation Device as their spiritual pillar, yet they hadn't abandoned their Physical body.

However, after the Annihilation Device was damaged, it also led to the splitting of their Ethnic Group.

As for the Titan Civilization, there was no need to even ntion them. They relied purely on being exceptionally gifted and being born powerful.

As for other aspects, it was just squandering and playing around!

While they were chatting, Hashar gradually woke up, and imdiately discovered that he had almost completely lost the power to resist.

His few remaining Intelligent Nodes flickered, reminding him of what had happened before he lost consciousness.

"The Annihilation Device. How could you master the power of the Annihilation Device!?"

Hashar's shock over this matter was no less than when he discovered that the other party could use the Eternal Core.

Have the lifeforms in The Ruins already evolved to this extent?

They can even crack the Eternal Core?

Don't tell there are still Titans Eking out a miserable existence?

"Claptrap, start connecting," Li Yu naturally wouldn't answer this question, and he let the tal Block hovering nearby take action.

Claptrap, using the Motherbox as a carrier, extended a data probe and linked it to Hashar.

"You want to breach my Data Core?" Hashar had already understood the other party's intention and said coldly: "Impossible. The firewall built by the Ultimate Intelligence cannot be breached by any intelligent consciousness."

The Eternal Civilization was the ancestor of data, and the Ultimate Intelligence was the culmination of intelligent consciousness.

From a certain perspective, Claptrap was indeed Displaying slight skill before an expert.

"Master, his internal structure is very peculiar. The consciousness entity and the Data Core are separated; the consciousness entity is more like a pilot."

Claptrap quickly had a relevant reaction. The Motherbox flickered. Hashar was right; it was indeed very difficult to breach.

"But I also have a way. Let try to contact the Ultimate Intelligence, and I can simulate his data operation."

The Motherbox ultimately had its own superiority. Breaching a firewall might pose so problems, but they wouldn't be very big.

"Contact the Ultimate Intelligence? Will there be risks?" Li Yu frowned and asked.

Although this Universe didn't have an Interstellar Network, there was absolutely no problem for a chanical Lord-level lifeform to remotely link with the Ultimate Intelligence.

"As long as I'm fast enough, there won't be a problem," Claptrap made a reasonable analysis.

"Alright, then give it a try. Remove his Communication Blockade," Li Yu nodded and said.

He had learned the basic information of the Universe from the Blazing Sun Civilization Remnant Race, and now was a perfect opportunity for a deeper understanding.

Hashar, on the other hand, began to maintain his silence at this mont, not saying a word, just watching the situation develop.

And as Hashar's Communication Link was restored.

In an instant, a massive Data Stream projected from his chanical pupils. The Motherbox attached to the surface of his body also had a massive Data Stream flowing on it.

At the sa ti, in the Eternal Civilization, the location of the Ultimate Intelligence, the surface of the glowing white sphere that had remained the sa for countless years suddenly rippled with a few data waves.

"Intruding consciousness detected. Source of intrusion: chanical Lord Hashar. Coordinates locking..."

"Counter-tracking initiated. Virtual data anchoring!"

On the other side, the Motherbox trembled slightly, and Hashar's machine body also trembled violently. A large amount of tadpole-like data surfaced on his chest, then condensed into a tiny glowing white sphere.

And from the sphere of light, a straight data Light Beam shot out, its target precisely the Motherbox.

Li Yu frowned slightly, staring at that thumb-sized glowing white sphere.

"Haha..." Hashar let out a burst of loud laughter: "You actually look down on the Ultimate Intelligence so much. How truly ridiculous!"

"That is one of the supre technological crystallizations of our Eternal Civilization! It's the guide, and even more so the highest administrator!"

The other supre crystallizations were all Technology-type things.

The Ultimate Intelligence was just an individual entity, yet it could rank alongside technologies like the Eternal Core and Virtual Armant, enough to prove the Ultimate Intelligence's power.

Hashar had just stayed silent precisely to wait for this mont. He wanted to see this group of guys before him crushed by the Ultimate Intelligence!

"Master, the Ultimate Intelligence used Hashar as a Transfer Station to mold a virtual Data Stream, drastically shortening its attack on ..."

Halfway through Claptrap's words, the entire Motherbox underwent subtle changes, developing from a cube towards a sphere...

"Intruder, the Eternal Civilization issues you a warning. Please stop your intrusion actions and properly arrange for chanical Lord Hashar..."

A voice different from Claptrap's ca from the Motherbox, warning Li Yu.

"Master, I suggest you destroy . Otherwise, if it gains a physical carrier, its threat will be even greater." Claptrap's voice sounded again.

The two seed to be fighting for control of the Motherbox, causing its shape to constantly shift between a sphere and a cube.

"Tsk, an unfavorable start... It's almost taken the shape of another." Li Yu shook his head.

Claptrap had obviously underestimated the threat of the Ultimate Intelligence, but he couldn't be blad for it.

There was too little relevant data information, making it completely impossible to make reasonable speculations.

Claptrap was also following his orders, wanting to breach Hashar's Data Core, which was why this problem arose.

Watching this scene, Hashar felt delighted in his heart, and the frustration of being ganged up on just now was swept clean.

But the next mont, Li Yu took out a crystalline Card—[Trinity].

This thing could temporarily summon phantoms of two other Motherboxes, drastically enhancing the Motherbox's abilities.

It ca in handy right now.

As the Card dissipated, two Motherbox phantoms suddenly appeared around the Motherbox where Claptrap resided. Powerful electrical fluctuations shot out among the three, and they began to converge toward the center.

Quickly, the three Motherboxes rged into one, simultaneously erupting with powerful electromagnetic light, and a massive amount of Data Streams dissipated.

A spherical phantom of light was squeezed out of the Motherbox.

"Detected a super-scale Data Stream eruption. Source unexplainable. Unknown error found... null... null..."

The Ultimate Intelligence seed to be confused: "Incomprehensible. Unanalyzable. Intruder, what kind of power is this?"

No one answered it. In the next mont, it was directly scattered by the surrounding Data Streams like "Ten thousand arrows piercing the heart."

"The Ultimate Intelligence was defeated!?"

"How is this possible!?"

Hashar's laughter Ca to an abrupt halt, and even the rotation of his chanical pupils almost ground to a halt.

In their hearts, the Status of the Ultimate Intelligence was supre, and not the slightest desecration was allowed.

Seeing this scene made him far more horrified than before!

However, the unified Trinity Motherbox hadn't stopped its actions. A massive amount of Data Streams rushed into Hashar's body, causing his Machine Body to twitch non-stop.

anwhile, in another location, the data fluctuations on the surface of the Ultimate Intelligence beca even more intense.

A diamond-shaped corner suddenly extended from the spherical orb of light, only to be smoothed out in an instant.

"Data loss has occurred. Recovering. Threat rating in progress—S-Class. Obliterate!" An indifferent electronic voice echoed in the spacious hall.

Then it beca gentler, as if it had changed its tone.

"Visitor from The Ruins, manipulator of the Eternal Core..."

"Find him. Bring him back..."

Data information circulated through an invisible dium.

In a certain interstellar battlefield, a chanical Lord looking like a giant interstellar spider pierced the planet below, its massive Corporeal Form exuding a terrifying aura.

Countless remains of flesh, blood, and machinery floated in this area.

The scorching radiation left behind after the eruption of countless High-Energy Reactions still lingered In Space.

Warships that were Riddled With Holes floated around, full of charred craters and spiderweb-like cracks. Their Energy Radiance had completely dimd; it was obvious at a glance that they had gone through an incomparably tragic battle.

A massive amount of data suddenly refreshed in its chanical pupils. Its chanical spider legs tore the planet below apart, like a bursting tangerine.

Similar things happened to chanical Lords scattered throughout the Universe.

While they were astonished, they all also erupted with intense killing intent!

...

"Communications have been cut off again," Primordial Foreseer reported.

Li Yu nodded.

Hashar still let out an unwilling roar: "The Ultimate Intelligence already knows your origins. The Eternal Civilization won't let you off!"

When the Ultimate Intelligence descended using Hashar's Machine Body, it had already learned the course of events, as well as Hashar's speculations.

"Claptrap, make him shut up." Li Yu glanced at him, and in the next second, Hashar was unable to make a sound.

"Master, the Data Core in his body has already been breached by . In addition, during the collision with the Ultimate Intelligence, I plundered so information that you should be interested in..."

"Oh, there's even an unexpected harvest?" Li Yu was sowhat surprised. He didn't expect that besides breaching Hashar's Data Core,

Claptrap had even taken so advantage of the Ultimate Intelligence.

Looking at it this way, using [Trinity] wasn't considered a loss.

Chapter 827: Unknown Path of Evolution

Claptrap obtained a massive amount of data and information from Hashar's Data Core, basically all relatively confidential information about the major civilizations of the Universe.

It wasn't sothing that could be obtained casually, so it could be considered to have saved Li Yu a lot of effort.

And the information plundered from the Ultimate Intelligence was quite interesting.

"The chanical Soldiers of the Eternal Civilization are essentially all controlled by the consciousnesses of actual, existing lifeforms."

"There is a complete Advancent channel. As long as they complete enough tasks, they can make their own weak chanical bodies evolve, thereby becoming stronger."

"To them, this is more like a ga."

Following that, Claptrap even simulated the "perspective" of the Eternal Civilization's consciousness entities. It was an image with a page full of data columns.

The degree of damage to various parts of the Machine Body, energy supply, and the task template connected to the intelligent managent System—everything was too similar.

Claptrap added: "And when conducting large-scale wars, the Eternal Civilization will place data nodes on the battlefield to recover the data consciousness in the destroyed Machine Bodies."

"They can even be resurrected." Li Yu was sowhat surprised, and then glanced at Hashar.

"It's not that simple. If there is no data node nearby to recover the consciousness entity when the Machine Body is destroyed, then it will truly dissipate."

The Eternal Civilization hadn't yet reached the level where they could ignore everything and recover consciousness entities in real-ti across the entire Universe.

"How interesting..." Li Yu thought for a mont and found that this thod of the Eternal Civilization was actually pretty good. At least for those life consciousness entities, it was.

"There is also what you care about the most: the Path of Evolution after the Super Lifeform stage." Claptrap continued speaking, while also making Li Yu concentrate.

"According to so information data in the Ultimate Intelligence, all top-tier civilizations in the Universe are searching for the Path of Evolution after the Super Lifeform stage."

"Currently, no existence that transcends a Super Lifeform has truly been born. The main reason is that there are simply too many paths being explored."

"Each civilization calls it differently, but upon reaching this stage, physical body Evolutionists continue to Devour energy to strengthen their bodies, or like the Eternal Civilization, research various high-precision technologies to enhance combat power."

"Or Devour Information State to strengthen their Disruption ability towards the Universe, or perhaps spend a long ti devouring Source Matter to strengthen themselves."

Hearing this, Li Yu couldn't help but frown. According to Claptrap's words, even in this Universe, how exactly one should continue to evolve remained an unknown.

The main reason was that none of the attempted Paths of Evolution had produced an existence that transcended a Super Lifeform.

The reason why the Genetic Evolutionary Path prevailed in the Barren Universe Zone was precisely because it had produced more than one Super Lifeform.

The sa was true for the Ability Evolution path.

And the reason the Cybernetic Enhancent path was limited was also because no true Super Lifeform had been born from it.

Without the birth of an existence transcending a Super Lifeform, no one could say for sure which path was exactly the correct one.

"The Super Life Form Combat Power cannot be quantified with data. However, the Eternal Civilization has its own set of standards. They use the degree of influence on Cosmic Rules as a scale, which can be roughly divided into three stages."

"Weak Influence, Small-Scale Shake, and Forced Twist. They can also be divided into Primary Stage, Interdiate Stage, and Advanced Stage."

"Scale?"

Li Yu muttered this term, and then examined the more detailed information.

Although sothing like energy was still the main thod of killing between Super Lifeforms, it would basically be mixed with various private additions, just like Hashar.

Therefore, Cosmic Rules, a foundation that was almost impossible to Shake the Universe, beca the Eternal Civilization's main thod for asuring the combat power of chanical Lords.

A Super Lifeform that could shake Cosmic Rules to a greater extent naturally had a more formidable combat power.

Although it sounded simple, in reality, the Eternal Civilization's standard for dividing this was unimaginably complex.

An A4-tier sized holographic projection contained nearly a hundred thousand pages of detailed data, making Li Yu dizzy just looking at it.

Similarly, because wars among the Major Civilizations were constant, every civilization had its own unique secret formula, making it very difficult to unify.

After listening to these words, Li Yu fell into deep thought. Although Claptrap had plundered so information from the Ultimate Intelligence and solved so of his doubts,

But the most crucial question, "how exactly to continue evolving," still had no precise answer.

Who let him once again think of his special state [Store Up to Release], whose System evaluation was "can accommodate more Source Matter."

In other words, in the System's cognition, accommodating Source Matter was precisely the Path of Evolution he should take.

Previously, he couldn't be certain of this point, which was why he wanted to know if there was an exact Evolutionary thod in this Universe.

Since this Universe didn't have one, and the Major Civilizations were all still in the process of exploring, he didn't mind using the System as his standard.

It was just that he hadn't not tried it before, but the process of devouring Source Matter with his physical body was simply too slow. A thousand years wouldn't even be enough.

This length of ti was sowhat unacceptable to him.

"There should be a way to optimize it..." Li Yu muttered.

According to the information Claptrap obtained, it wasn't as if there weren't Paths of Evolution in this Universe that attempted to Devour Source Matter. There must be a way to address the problem of it taking too long.

As for things like Source Matter, he truly wasn't lacking. At worst, he could go back and borrow so from the Star Glory Empire.

It was just that he definitely couldn't stay in this place for long. The Eternal Civilization would definitely try everything possible to find his whereabouts next.

Fortunately, the Eternal Core was inside the Symbiotic Colonization Armor. As long as he didn't use the Eternal Machine God, it would be very difficult for the Ultimate Intelligence to lock onto his location.

Based on the data information provided by Claptrap, Li Yu tentatively began to perceive the existence of Cosmic Rules.

For a Super Lifeform, this wasn't a difficult task.

Cosmic Rules were scattered yet condensed. Physical constants were rules, and Spatial Coefficients were also rules. They were like indestructible Chains spanning across the entire Universe.

Sotis, a special environnt could change them, but essentially, it was still the combined effect of various rule paraters.

Just like the relationship between atmospheric pressure and the boiling temperature of water.

By utilizing special abilities or Superpowers, one might be able to alter various paraters in a certain area, but ultimately, it was only for a short ti and couldn't affect other areas.

However, shaking the Cosmic Rules affected the entire Universe.

Just like Civilization Zero, at the cost of the Annihilation Device shattering, they changed the Cosmic Rules, resulting in Titans being unable to evade attacks no matter where they were.

The Universe was fragile. With a casual strike now, Li Yu could cause large-scale spatial damage that was difficult to repair.

But the Universe was also indestructible.

With his current Strength, going all out, he could barely exert a Weak Influence on so rules. His theoretical combat power should be roughly equivalent to the Primary Stage.

This reminded him of the Barren Universe Zone again.

That group of crazy Titans could cause the Rule Entanglent Phenonon; they had to be at least at the Interdiate Stage, or even the Advanced Stage.

Being able to forcefully endure and pass through the Rule Entanglent Area, the theoretical combat power of the Eternal Machine God should far surpass the Primary Stage.

But he always felt that the Strength of the Eternal Machine God hadn't reached the Interdiate Stage.

No... he almost forgot, the Eternal Machine God was essentially a combination of eight major Source Matters, which perhaps made it special.

The Amplification from the Crimson Typhoon couldn't be ignored either.

Li Yu thought to himself:

"It should also be related to luck. Otherwise, there would be no way Silver Shadow could have passed through."

"The Ultimate Intelligence's speculation is very correct. The Path of Evolution, to this day, has no limit."

However, becoming a Super Lifeform was already difficult among difficulties, let alone continuing to evolve.

Even if the span of the Universe was infinite, the number of Super Lifeforms wouldn't be too many.

"As for this Hashar..." Li Yu stared at the other party. With him being a lump of iron from head to toe, he couldn't feed him to the Tree of Life even if he wanted to.

"Heavenly Venerable, let Devour him. It just so happens we can use it to repair ourselves," Heaven-Shaking Sovereign spoke up.

"Oh? Is that possible?" Li Yu was sowhat surprised.

"I can try." Heaven-Shaking Sovereign's hands assembled into special Instrunts, like a giant vacuum cleaner, covering Hashar.

At the sa ti, seven tal pipes extended from his body, linking to the other Super Primal King Kongs.

Subsequently, black Electric Arcs surfaced on Heaven-Shaking Sovereign's body, and Hashar's Machine Body began to tremble violently.

The indestructible tal Armor began to be affected by a special power, gradually dissipating into a particle stream and being devoured by Heaven-Shaking Sovereign.

Then, it was evenly distributed to the other several Super Primal King Kongs.

As ti passed, the damage on their Machine Bodies began to gradually repair, until Hashar completely dissipated in the Starry Sky.

And their Machine Bodies looked much better, no longer in a tattered and torn state.

And while Li Yu was preparing to temporarily leave this place, countless light-years away, in what was called the Core Region of Civilization Zero by the outside world, the degree of its Technology and prosperity went without saying.

And in the very core of the Core Region, inside a certain Interstellar Fortress, the massive space was a busy yet orderly military city.

Various war factories and control core buildings hovered in the air, forming the skeleton of this three-dinsional city.

The shuttling Spaceships wove together to form the nerves and blood between this skeleton.

And if one were to observe this space from an omniscient perspective, they would discover that a black rectangular building stood out even more among the buildings around it.

Not only was it located in a completely empty Golden Location that was out of tune with its surroundings, but there were also almost no Spaceships coming or going to it.

It could even be said that, apart from the heavy defense fleets and photon Turrets hovering around this rectangular building, no floating units dared to approach this building at all.

Its special nature was obvious at a glance.

And what looked even more special was that the edges of this floating building were constantly trembling slightly.

Just like a holographic projection experiencing Disruption, it slightly deford and twisted in the air, even occasionally flashing and disappearing for an instant.

This rectangular black building was the Zero Civilization Research Core.

Apart from this ordinary codena-style designation, it had no fancy na, just as inconspicuous as its appearance.

And right now, an exquisite Small Aircraft was rapidly approaching this place, and very quickly drew near this research core.

The newcor possessed extrely high Authority. Layers of defensive asures gave way for him, allowing him to dock with the research core.

The things researched here were extrely important, to the point where the entire research facility had to be built inside an Interstellar Fortress.

This was the Core Region of Civilization Zero, not the outside world. Logically speaking, almost no enemy could reach here, but highly vigilant defensive asures were still used.

And the force field enveloping the entire building wasn't just to prevent attacks from the outside, but even more so to prevent the things inside it from leaking out.

"The Prophet, you..." A Researcher mimicking a Special Form was just about to report when the person before him said directly: "Don't waste ti, get straight to the point."

The group arrived in front of a giant Isolation Gate.

A honeycomb-shaped Energy Barrier floated on the surface of this trapezoidal Isolation Gate.

As they approached, the barrier gradually weakened, and in the instant they arrived in front of the door, it completely dissipated.

Subsequently, that thick and heavy gate suddenly turned transparent.

Entering the gate, presented before their eyes was a very spacious circular hall. Next to the walls around the hall, various information terminals and floating information boxes were densely packed.

Busy Researchers walked back and forth in the hall. In the center of the hall, which had a radius of several thousand ters, hovered a Purple Cube, shimring with a faint light.

There was a nearly transparent Energy Barrier isolating the floating object opposite like a pipe.

Seeing The Prophet arrive, the person in charge motioned for the Researchers around to adjust the device's locking paraters.

Imdiately, the originally complete floating cube slowly disintegrated, revealing its true core:

A Shattered Eyeball surging with gray mist. Its surface was covered in cracks, and it was missing many parts.

And the disintegrated cube fragnts floated around the Crystal Ball, slowly rotating.

After a series of data reports, that Researcher summarized: "...It can already be confird that half an hour ago, fluctuations of a new fragnt were captured. The Annihilation Device is affected by this and is constantly fluctuating."

"Has it been located?" The Prophet's mimicked appearance seed to be interstellar human, but there were so slight differences in appearance, looking more barbaric.

"It has been located, near The Ruins..." The Researchers around projected a Star Map.

"The Ruins?" The Prophet's expression changed slightly, and he asked again: "Have the Tribesn sent by those people activated the Connection Device?"

"They have not. There is still no information whatsoever," soone reported.

"Send soone to take a look at what exactly is going on. The recovery work for the fragnts of the Annihilation Device allows for no mistakes!"

He ordered in a deep voice. Responses echoed from all around, and then the busy work resud.

Chapter 828: A Twist of Fate

Auro Star. This was a rather bustling interstellar port. The composition of the personnel coming and going was complex, including passing rchant groups, wanted criminals from Major Civilizations, Space Pirates, private ard forces...

This planet belonged to the Three Kings Civilization. Besides the civilization's internal title for themselves, what Outside Civilizations called them could also intuitively reveal their characteristics.

And the characteristic of the Three Kings Civilization was that they had three great kings, known as Past, Present, and Future!

The three kings had ruled this civilization for an unknown amount of ti.

According to the information obtained from Hashar's Data Core, the three kings were all Super Lifeforms.

Of course, Hashar also knew more information. The three kings were essentially Clone Bodies of a single lifeform.

However, naturally, they weren't cloned after becoming Super Lifeforms, but before.

Their Strength belonged to the Initial Tier category.

For a newly broken-through Super Lifeform, if it weren't an anomaly like Li Yu, they would probably not even et the standard of the Initial Tier.

However, just like how 11 to 19 were collectively called "teens," newly evolved Super Lifeforms were also classified into the Initial Tier by the Eternal Civilization.

The reason they hadn't been annihilated yet was that the Three Kings Civilization was extrely close to Civilization Zero.

Whoever wanted to take down the Three Kings Civilization would have to face Civilization Zero in the next step. Ordinary civilizations didn't have the guts, and powerful civilizations didn't want to bring extra trouble upon themselves.

On the bustling streets, two tall n were strolling leisurely, occasionally walking into roadside shops, looking left and right.

These two were none other than Li Yu and Andrei, who had put on so disguises.

Several months had already passed since the last battle with Hashar.

Because the Major Civilizations fought their own battles, the ultra-long-distance transmission channels within their borders weren't connected to each other at all, so he could only travel on foot.

"My Lord, the Three Kings Civilization is adjacent to Civilization Zero. Isn't it too risky for us to co here?"

On the street, Andrei stood in front of a self-service vending machine, looking at the rchandise inside, just like an ordinary tourist.

"According to Claptrap's data, over the past tens of thousands of years, the Three Kings Civilization spent a massive price to obtain two streaks of Source Matter, and recently they are suspected to have obtained a third streak of Source Matter..."

"The three kings use the devouring of Source Matter to strengthen themselves, so they should have a deep understanding of Source Matter."

Li Yu shrugged his shoulders. Claptrap instantly hacked the vending machine, and in the next second, a cutely packaged bag of food bread fell out from inside.

"Tastes awful..." After tearing open the packaging and taking a bite, Andrei complained, and then continued: "Then do you an we are going to make a move against the three kings?"

"No rush. This place is indeed very close to Civilization Zero. We can't act blindly."

Li Yu shook his head. The two of them had stayed on this planet for a few days and had nothing to do, so they had been wandering around these past few days, experiencing the Local Customs and Traditions.

They were chatting casually. At this ti, a breaking news broadcast suddenly interrupted on the virtual screens on both sides of the street, attracting the gaze of the two.

"Broadcasting an urgent piece of news. Civilization Zero and the Eternal Civilization have recently had a large-scale collision. Citizens of this civilization are requested not to leave casually in the near future."

"Issuing a new Wanted Order. Unknown dangerous lifeform—codena Z. Bounty: 2 billion Three Kings Coins."

"Additionally, Sinclair, a core mber of the Anti-King Organization with a Bounty of two million Three Kings Coins, has recently fled into Auro Star. Citizens are requested to pay attention."

This caused a heated discussion among so of the people around. The Three Kings Coin was a special prismatic Currency with the portraits of the three kings engraved on the back, and its purchasing power was not small.

This Sinclair looked like an elf variant. Her ears were very pointed, her pupils were purple, and her appearance was beautiful. The Wanted Order even carried a hint of a Valiant and Spirited feeling.

However, since she was worth a special broadcast, it should be related to the other party fleeing into Auro Star.

"Anti-King Organization..." Li Yu's aning was unclear. Indeed, so things would be born regardless of the region.

Compared to this Wanted Order, he was more interested in the previous piece of news.

He imdiately had Claptrap infiltrate this planet's Interstellar Network to look for rchants selling intelligence, entering the Backstage of their equipnt to search for relevant information.

Dealing with the Ultimate Intelligence was a bit lacking, but dealing with this planet's intelligent managent System was very simple.

A mont later, a portion of the data was unfolded.

This was sothing that had only happened not long ago, and the location where the collision occurred was very delicate; it was exactly near the previous "The Ruins."

Li Yu wasn't surprised that the Eternal Civilization sent people to investigate that place.

But why did Civilization Zero also send people?

Or had they always had people guarding nearby?

No, they shouldn't have been guarding nearby all the ti.

Li Yu's eyes flickered, and he suddenly thought of sothing. The Ultimate Intelligence had discovered him because he used the Eternal Core.

Then could Civilization Zero have also discovered him because of the fragnts of the Annihilation Device?

This was a speculation derived from the Eternal Core.

The Fallen Titan had also warned him that Civilization Zero's attitude towards the Annihilation Device was that they allowed no one to desecrate it.

If Civilization Zero also sent people to the vicinity of "The Ruins" and they happened to run into people from the Eternal Civilization, it was indeed possible that a conflict would erupt.

"To be targeted by both Civilization Zero and Eternal as soon as I arrive, this is truly a rather bad start." Li Yu couldn't help but shake his head.

This was an unresolved historical issue left behind in the ruins of the Titan Civilization.

However, the good news was that as long as Li Yu didn't use these two things, it would be very difficult to locate him.

Even if he was located, as long as he relocated fast enough, it would be very difficult for the other party to find him.

Unless the other party had other ans.

Thinking of this, he frowned again. This point still had to be guarded against.

Just at this ti, a clamor suddenly ca from the crowd not far away. A large number of soldiers ard with live ammunition locked down this place, led by an A-Tier Lifeform.

The nurous people of all trades and backgrounds nearby suddenly beca sowhat panicked, causing quite a commotion.

Quickly, a High Echelon among the soldiers ca out to pacify them. A voice from a gaphone covered the area:

"Citizens, please do not panic. This is only a routine search. An important wanted criminal of this civilization is hiding nearby. Please cooperate, and you will soon be able to leave safely."

"We will not pay attention to the wanted criminals of other civilizations."

"Wanted criminal?"

Li Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, and his gaze imdiately locked onto a gray-robed figure in the crowd. She was hiding in the crowd, surrounded by people of various races, very inconspicuous.

Her body was covered with a layer of special Instrunts that seed capable of isolating certain Detection Devices, but they had no effect on Li Yu.

He recognized her. This guy was exactly Sinclair, who had just been announced.

It seed that the other party had been on the run the whole ti, until now she was cornered here.

The other party was like a nimble little snake, weaving through the crowd, and under Li Yu's increasingly strange gaze, she headed towards him.

"It couldn't be such a coincidence, right?" Li Yu muttered to himself.

In the next second, a cold glint pressed against his waist.

"Don't move. If you don't want to die, cooperate with ." A cold voice sounded in his ear. Andrei's eyes flashed, and he wanted to tear this person into pieces.

But then, she added: "I'm sorry. Rest assured, I'll give you the reward you deserve afterward."

"Wait..." Li Yu stopped Andrei and said: "I'm quite curious. How did she find to use as cover among so many people?"

"Moreover, the Anti-King Organization should know the three kings very well, right?"

Hearing this, the energy that had already surged within Andrei gradually dissipated.

Actually, he was also quite curious about this point. With so many lifeforms around, why did this person happen to choose the Dragon Sovereign? Could it just be because of their similar appearance?

Seeing that the two of them didn't resist, Sinclair imdiately breathed a sigh of relief. The soreness from her muscles was almost irrepressible, but she clenched her teeth and persevered.

These two people before both have a kind of inexplicable aura. Especially this human, he must be a High-Status Individual. Perhaps I can use them to escape.

She thought to herself. She had a special Superpower that could vaguely perceive the "aura" of lifeforms. This was an ethereal feeling that had provided her with help multiple tis in the past.

However, the stronger the feeling a lifeform gave her, generally speaking, the Strength accompanying them wouldn't be low either.

She also didn't know what kind of outco she would face by having just pressed her Weapon against him.

However, having fled to this point, she was almost at a dead end. She could only take a risky move and Gamble.

Fortunately, looking at it now, she gambled correctly. Although these two guys were suspected to be "High-Status Individuals," they didn't seem to possess overly strong Strength.

Such a situation was rare among civilizations, but considering that the other party was an interstellar human and not valued highly, it was also possible.

The Screening speed was fast, but it was also very strict. The entire area was surrounded, three layers deep inside and out. A massive amount of Weaponry aid at this place.

This made all the lifeforms surrounded within have no thoughts of resisting.

Quickly, the Screening reached Li Yu's trio. It could be clearly felt that Sinclair's body tensed up.

"Please show your Identity proof."

The soldier in charge of the inspection was just doing his routine duty. Li Yu casually took out a Chip as thin as a cicada's wing. This was sothing he had made temporarily; it wasn't a big problem to disguise himself temporarily.

"Raise your head!" Another soldier stared at Sinclair and shouted.

Pausing for a mont, Sinclair slowly raised her head. It was precisely the appearance of an interstellar human, and no flaws could be seen.

The surrounding soldiers scanned the group with various instrunts and equipnt but found no traces of disguise.

"You may pass..." The soldier's tone softened slightly. Sinclair let out a sigh of relief, not expecting things to go so smoothly.

In the information data of these pursuers, she was alone, so they focused their targets on those solitary lifeforms.

However, a suddenly transmitted voice abruptly caused her spirit to tense up again.

The one speaking was that A-Tier Lifeform. He was specifically in charge of this pursuit. A special luster flashed in his single eye as he headed toward the three of them sowhat suspiciously.

"Rost—Alpha Tier 2 Esper, his Eye of Insight can see through most disguises."

Sinclair clenched her teeth. The forgery device on her body was specially made and could evade the vast majority of detection Instrunts.

But whether it could evade Rost was still unknown.

The others precisely knew this point, which was why they sent Rost as the main force to pursue her.

Rost walked forward, his single eye wandering back and forth among the three: "Have they been checked?"

The soldier imdiately reported: "They have been checked, and no abnormalities were found. Furthermore, there are three people traveling together, which does not match the target's data."

"Is that so?"

Dense white light spots surfaced in Rost's pupil, and then linked together, projecting a special pattern that covered the three of them.

And the surface form of one of them gradually began to change.

"There is a problem indeed!" Rost shouted coldly.

Sinclair's expression froze, but then she looked at the person next to her with so bewildernt.

It's not ?

Yes, the one whose disguised form was seen through by Rost's Eye of Insight wasn't her, but Andrei next to her.

How could this be?

Sinclair's eyes were full of confusion.

If I hadn't taken these two hostage, wouldn't I have already left by now?

What are these two guys doing running around in disguise for no reason!?

Sinclair felt bitter inside. The next mont, she heard Rost's shocked shout: "It's you, Codena Z!?"

What the heck!?

Codena Z?

Sinclair was startled. Wasn't that guy the one who recently popped out of nowhere and annihilated an entire fully-manned fleet of the Three Kings Civilization?

For this, the other party even carried a Bounty as high as two billion, which was a thousand tis her Bounty amount.

She looked at the person next to her in disbelief. That person's expression was very ugly, staring intently at Rost.

Li Yu sighed, quite speechless. Sinclair wasn't exposed, but Andrei was discovered instead. What kind of situation was this?

That's right, Andrei was "Z." As for annihilating a fully-manned fleet of the Three Kings Civilization, it was also sothing he had to do out of necessity previously.

He couldn't help but say: "Andrei, is this your mimicry Technology?"

Andrei's face turned pale and then livid, feeling a burning sensation. Especially when Sinclair next to him looked at him with bewildered eyes, he felt a wave of sha even more.

His mimicry Technology was just so-so, diocre. It definitely couldn't compare to Li Yu using Information State concealnt.

But it wasn't sothing that could be casually discovered either.

Yet he never expected to encounter an A-Tier Lifeform specialized in "seeing through illusions," exposing him on the spot.

And Rost was also dumbfounded. Wasn't I tracking Sinclair? Why did a Z suddenly pop out?

This is way too scary!?

This guy's Bounty amount was two billion. How could he possibly defeat him?

Andrei's gaze beca extrely gloomy, flying into a rage out of humiliation.

Rost sensed that sothing was wrong, and his expression changed drastically. Just as the thought of fleeing arose in his mind, an unshakable giant hand of energy abruptly surfaced, directly crushing him into a at patty.

Chapter 829: Another Clone Body

"Drop your Weapon, stop resisting!"

"...!!"

The surrounding soldiers one after another pulled out energy weapons and aid them at the three people in the center, yet they hesitated to approach.

After all, their highest-ranking officer had just died before their eyes. With just their paltry sum of numbers, going up would definitely be throwing their lives away.

The other lifeforms around looked at the three people with terrified expressions. No one expected to find a super-major wanted criminal here.

A Bounty amount of two billion was already enough to rank in the top ten of the Three Kings Civilization's current wanted list!

"Let's go. Don't waste ti," Li Yu looked around and frowned slightly.

"Yes, My Lord." Andrei said in a low voice. This caused Sinclair, who still hadn't reacted next to him, to swallow hard.

This Codena Z was actually so respectful to the interstellar human beside him. He himself was already so powerful, so to what extent must this guy have reached?

Subsequently, the surrounding onlookers only felt their vision blur, the Ground slightly vibrated, and the three people before them had already disappeared from this place.

They Looked at Each Other in Dismay. So lifeforms' whole bodies were still shaking, feeling a sense of rejoicing as Survivors Of The Catastrophe.

On a Spaceship outside the planet, this was transford from a certain Transforr.

"My Lord, I'm sorry, I made you lose face." Andrei had a nervous expression.

Although there was indeed no pressure when interacting with Li Yu normally, one couldn't forget that the lifeforms who died directly or indirectly at the Dragon Sovereign's hands were already countless.

"What's wrong?" Bloodlust approached from the side. He was still sealed in a tallic body, although he had been granted the Authority to move freely.

However, his "Kowtow" speed was a step slower than Andrei's, so under normal circumstances, Li Yu wouldn't bring him along for operations.

"No matter, it's just a small issue. It takes a bit too long to contact the Three Kings through normal channels. This Anti-King Organization is a very good entry point."

Li Yu didn't really mind this, but instead turned his gaze to the sowhat nervous Sinclair.

As a qualified mber of a Resistance Organization, extracting information from a few isolated words and phrases was a beginner's skill for Sinclair.

From this guy's tone, she could draw an astonishing speculation—he had no respect for the Three Kings.

This might be a bit hard to understand. The mbers of the organization she was in all didn't respect the Three Kings.

But their lack of respect was different from the person before her.

After all, those were the Three Kings who had ruled the entire civilization for an unknown amount of ti. Even if they were hostile, when discussing them, they couldn't help but carry a bit of Apprehension and hidden fear.

However, the person before her didn't. It seed that to him, the Three Kings were no different from a passerby.

Combined with the fact that this guy codenad Z was so respectful to this person, this made her almost certain that in all likelihood, this was a "Three Kings-level" powerful lifeform.

"Miss Sinclair, could you resolve so of my doubts for ?" Li Yu looked at Sinclair with a warm smile.

"You... please speak..." She couldn't help but be startled, her tone subconsciously becoming uneasy.

"It's good that you agree." Li Yu smiled, and two tiny Magic Symbols surged into Sinclair's mind.

This caused her body to stiffen. Her pupils emitted an enchanting red light, and a massive amount of mory fragnts were projected out.

Claptrap was responsible for recording on the side, and synthesized information data based on these mory fragnts.

If he really had to ask sentence by sentence, who knew how much ti would be wasted.

This was a kind of Black Magic called "mory Scrutiny." It was incredibly suitable for dealing with weak lifeforms whose ntal resistance wasn't high.

Even so, the high-speed projection of mory fragnts took a full half a day or so before Claptrap finished integrating and processing them.

Sinclair fell to the floor, her eyes gradually regaining clarity, but she suddenly felt as if a large stone had been pressed onto her head.

That was an illusion born from excessive ntal fatigue. She was sowhat bewildered, not knowing what had happened yet.

However, she saw the person at the head flipping through a Holographic Screen, muttering sothing occasionally.

A mont later, Li Yu obtained the information he wanted, and there was also so unexpected harvest.

According to the Anti-King Organization's intelligence, one of the three kings, "Present," had already accommodated two streaks of Source Matter and was about to accommodate a third.

If successful, a qualitative change would occur.

And the goal of the Anti-King Organization was to sabotage this Source Matter transportation plan.

There weren't many civilizations that possessed Source Matter extraction Technology. At the very least, the three kings didn't have it; they purchased the Source Matter from the Iron-Blood Civilization.

This cost a massive price, causing the three kings to constantly oppress the citizens within their borders. This resulted in the citizens of the Three Kings Civilization constantly living in a state of Deep water and scorching fire.

The Anti-King Organization was also born because of this, wanting to rescue the entire civilization from this situation.

At least, that was what they believed.

However, with the three kings acting as Super Lifeforms, being both the highest rulers and the highest combat power, this situation made people despair.

Therefore, they absolutely could not be allowed to continue growing stronger.

The Anti-King Organization's plan was like this: they wanted to figure out the Iron-Blood Civilization's Source Matter transportation trajectory, and then lay an ambush in advance to intercept the Source Matter.

Of course, this plan was definitely exceptionally complicated and required a massive amount of manpower and material resources.

They had been busy with this plan for at least a year, and Sinclair was just a negligible link in this plan.

She didn't even know what kind of role her actions played in the overall plan.

What made Li Yu feel the strangest was that this Anti-King Organization actually had a Super Lifeform, which was the Leader of the organization—the Eternal King.

"Logically speaking, if it were a native Super Lifeform, they shouldn't be unable to see that if they created a division, the end result would very likely lead to the annihilation of the Three Kings Civilization." Li Yu rubbed his chin.

"If it were a foreign Super Lifeform, it's impossible that the three kings wouldn't use this as a target for a counterattack and heavily publicize it. Interesting."

"Intercepting Source Matter is quite an interesting plan, but I'm more curious about how the three kings actually Devour Source Matter."

Sinclair obviously didn't know this kind of information, so he could only look for that so-called "Eternal King."

"I want to et the Leader of your organization. I have a deal to make with him."

Li Yu gazed at Sinclair. The downward gaze of this high-tier lifeform caused an inexplicable tremor in Sinclair's heart. She braced herself and said: "I don't have the Authority to contact the Leader directly. I can only report it layer by layer."

Li Yu's tone was indifferent: "Then go report."

"Then how should I address you?" Sinclair asked her final question.

"Dragon Sovereign."

Next, Sinclair contacted her superiors layer by layer from here, explaining the current situation and presenting a series of proofs. It was passed on layer by layer before finally contacting their ultimate boss.

However, the other party didn't want to talk too much on the network.

The Interstellar Network within the Three Kings Civilization was under real-ti monitoring. Using their network to communicate was very prone to problems.

The other party sent coordinates, inviting Li Yu to head to their Headquarters.

Li Yu's Confidence cos from ability, so naturally, he didn't refuse, heading toward the coordinates the other party transmitted over.

That, of course, was not the coordinates of the Headquarters, but a certain transit planet.

If a middle-or-low-tier mber just saying a few words could expose the coordinates of their Headquarters, it would be impossible for them to remain active until now.

The other party was rather cautious. The rendezvous point was on an ordinary planet. It took nearly half a month to arrive at this planet's spaceport.

As soon as Li Yu stepped off the Spaceship, he looked back and saw a person among the crowd staring firmly at them with an inexplicable gaze. This was an A-Tier Lifeform.

Seeing Li Yu look toward him, the other party nodded, and then turned and left.

"It should be him. Let's follow. This kind of rendezvous thod is truly..."

Li Yu couldn't help but shake his head and stepped forward to follow. Andrei and Sinclair followed behind him.

This person walked and stopped, occasionally looking back at the two, seemingly afraid that they would lose track.

The group walked through streets and alleys, and quickly arrived at a slightly aged Spaceport Terminal.

The guide opened a Hangar. Inside was an unremarkable, general-purpose Spaceship.

He then opened the Blast Door and looked back intently at the two, seemingly inviting them to board the ship.

Seeing this, Li Yu scanned the Spaceship and found no abnormalities. Thus, he stepped onto the gangway and walked into the Spaceship.

Quickly, the hull of the ship began to vibrate slightly, slid onto the launch track, and rapidly ascended and took off.

The planet outside the porthole also continuously shrank in their field of vision.

Li Yu withdrew his gaze and looked back at the silent guide beside him.

And the guide adjusted his clothes and slowly said:

"Your Excellency Dragon Sovereign, let introduce myself. I am Giovanni of the Anti-King Organization. The Leader sent to receive you."

Li Yu nodded, not surprised at all, and said: "You people are truly cautious, using such a roundabout thod."

"We have no choice, we must be cautious." He shook his head.

The Spaceship sailed for about ten days and finally arrived at the Destination.

This was a giant Mothership with the volu of an asteroid, maintaining a state of concealnt while wandering In Space.

Swish—

The Blast Door opened. The three stepped onto the Mothership and followed Giovanni forward.

Passing through various areas, the two saw a large number of Staff mbers and guards. The entire Mothership was heavily guarded.

The group passed through multiple Authority authentications, going deeper and deeper into the Core Region of the Mothership, and quickly arrived in front of a giant tal door.

"The Leader is right inside. The ones he wants to see are the two of you, so I won't go in."

Giovanni stopped in his tracks and added: "Sinclair, please co with ."

Sinclair nodded. She couldn't help but glance at Li Yu a few tis before slowly leaving with the other party.

Obviously, the other party wanted to inquire about so information regarding Li Yu from Sinclair's mouth.

Li Yu then stepped forward, with Andrei following closely behind. The tal door opened automatically, allowing the two to walk in.

As soon as they entered, the door closed behind them.

Li Yu glanced at the layout in the room. Tubes extended from the Ground and walls, connecting to a figure in the center of the room.

This guy was tall, but his figure was very hunched. Tubes were inserted all over his body. At the sa ti, there were so bulging pustules on the surface of his body, making him look sowhat disgusting.

Li Yu went straight to sit on a Seat, while Andrei calmly stood behind him.

Seeing the two, this person slowly spoke. His voice was heavy and sticky, sounding extrely hoarse: "Your Excellency Dragon Sovereign, I heard you have a deal to discuss with ."

The other party's attitude was very direct, getting straight to the point.

However, Li Yu looked the other party up and down, and suddenly realized: "So you are also a Clone Body of the Three Kings. No wonder you could beco a Super Lifeform, and furthermore, haven't been targeted on a large scale by the Three Kings."

"You..." Hearing this, the tone of this "Eternal King" fluctuated slightly as he asked: "You've t the Three Kings?"

"Once, by chance." Li Yu said casually.

The Eternal King said in a deep voice: "I don't have any impression of you, and among the active Three Kings-level lifeforms in this Universe, there is no title of yours either."

Of course Li Yu had never t the Three Kings, but Hashar had.

Through Hashar's data, he found that the appearance characteristics of the person before him were extrely similar to the Three Kings, just relatively ugly.

The appearance of the Three Kings was flawless; based on the Aesthetics of their own civilization, it was close to perfection.

The Eternal King was also scrutinizing this so-called Dragon Sovereign. Existences at this level were limited in number; it was difficult for one to Suddenly Appear.

But from the mont they t, he had conducted various levels of analysis on this Dragon Sovereign, yet obtained no useful information.

The other party's designation of "Three Kings-level" was also very unique; it was known that no civilization used the title "Super Lifeform".

Li Yu didn't answer this question, but changed the subject: "No need to overly investigate my origins. Your target is the Three Kings, right? I'll help you deal with them."

"Why?" The Eternal King asked in return.

"They are devouring Source Matter, and I'm very curious about how they carry out the devouring."

"Is that all?" The other party didn't quite believe it. After all, just for such a small matter, he was going to go against three "Super Lifeforms"?

"Let's put it this way, I've tried devouring it myself, but the speed was too slow. So I want to know if they have any thod to accelerate it." Li Yu added.

"A thod to accelerate it..." The Eternal King pondered for a mont, and suddenly said: "You are also of the Source-Material Faction?"

This ti, Li Yu was stunned. The so-called Source-Material Faction was the collective term for Super Lifeforms who believed that accommodating Source Matter was the correct Path of Evolution.

"You could say that." Li Yu nodded.

Only then did the Eternal King say: "You thought correctly, they indeed have a thod to accelerate it. The Three-Elent Fusion Device can substantially vitalize the Source Matter, thereby making it easier for lifeforms to Absorb."

"Three-Elent Fusion." Li Yu was thoughtful.

Subsequently, the Eternal King added: "However, this instrunt is specially built for the Three Kings. Because the Three Kings are essentially one entity, others would likely find it very difficult to use."

Very difficult to use?

Li Yu was Noncommittal. The inlay slots of the [Symbiotic Colonization Armor] could solve all problems.

Chapter 830: Movents from All Sides, A Storm is Brewing

After a brief exchange, the two reached a preliminary agreent.

The Eternal King was obviously highly vigilant against this powerhouse who had Suddenly Appeared.

He didn't reveal too much about the action plan, only stating that he would notify him when taking action.

Li Yu wasn't too surprised by this. If the other party had placed imnse trust in him without a word, he would have actually beco suspicious.

...

The chanical Lords of the Eternal Civilization gathered once again.

Ever since Hashar was killed, more than six chanical Lords had arrived near "The Ruins" to conduct searches, but they hadn't found any useful information.

"Civilization Zero must have also realized sothing was wrong, perhaps detecting the abnormal movents of the Annihilation Device. That guy ca out of 'The Ruins.' The secrets on him are very valuable. We absolutely cannot let the other party To Get a Head Start,"

a certain chanical Lord spoke.

Another chanical Lord added: "But we can't accurately locate him. Lord-level lifeforms can all conceal their own Information State, and the Eternal Core has also been isolated by the other party using so thod. It's simply difficult to find him."

"I am using Rule Calculation to determine his position. There should be results very soon," the Ultimate Intelligence's voice sounded.

The chanical Lords nodded one after another: "If we can lock onto his location, then it will be much easier to handle."

"Do not underestimate the enemy!" A muffled voice suddenly rang out. A chanical Lord holding a hamr said: "No one knows what the situation is inside 'The Ruins'; that place is isolated from the Universe."

"But the other party has already co to this Universe, and through Hashar, he already has an understanding of us. The enemy is in the dark, while we are in the open."

"Moreover, eight Lord-level chanical Bodies, plus himself. This number is enough to make us vigilant."

It was necessary for the Eternal Civilization to figure out the specific information of the enemy.

As a chanical Technology civilization, they had always been ahead of their enemies when it ca to things like information.

If they wanted to go to war against a certain civilization, hacking the other party's network System was the first step.

This would plunge the enemy into darkness, while they themselves would be like having maphacks enabled.

However, this trick was useless now. They had absolutely no data on the enemy's specific Strength, age, or the like.

"I suggest it's ti to explore 'The Ruins.'" He summarized:

"The threat level of that Rule Entanglent Area is decreasing day by day. It is necessary to take a risk."

"In recent years, the Radical Faction within Civilization Zero has been continuously sending people into it. It's hard to guarantee whether soone has broken through that area."

His Status among the chanical Lords seed to not be low either, causing a portion of the chanical Lords to fall into deep thought.

The Ultimate Intelligence also emitted fluctuations: "According to data analysis, entering the Rule Entanglent Area at this point in ti still has a danger level as high as 86%."

"However, due to special circumstances, I have decided to activate the voting chanism. If you chanical Lords approve of exploring the Titan Civilization Ruins, please cast your vote of approval."

A virtual screen popped up in front of the nurous chanical Lords. This was an anonymous vote; besides the Ultimate Intelligence, no one knew what the chanical Lords voted for.

As the green cylinder on it continuously grew taller, it quickly surpassed the red cylinder.

"Proposal passed. The [Exploration of the Titan Civilization Ruins] project is restarted. chanical Lords, please sign up enthusiastically." The Ultimate Intelligence's voice had no ripples:

"Additionally, set a stop-loss line at 20%. Once the number of damaged Lord-level chanical Bodies exceeds 20% of the total number, this project will be imdiately halted."

The nurous chanical Lords discussed animatedly, not surprised by this result.

Li Yu's appearance had raised their curiosity towards those ruins to an unparalleled level.

They had thought those ruins had always been in a barren state, but the person who walked out from them had delivered a solid slap to their faces.

...

On the other side, in the hall of Civilization Zero, nurous High Echelons also gathered together.

Civilization Zero's system was special. Everyone was born with their own position: engineers, dical experts, researchers, soldiers, generals—everything had already been planned out.

Everyone had their own natural duty, with no distinction between high and low.

Only "The Prophet," who directly communicated with the Annihilation Device, possessed a relatively lofty Status.

Using the Annihilation Device as the pillar of civilization bound the thoughts of the entire civilization. Previously, no one had ever raised objections to this.

But with the shattering of the Annihilation Device, so thoughts that shouldn't have appeared gradually surfaced.

The lower-class Citizens believed that the past ideological constraints were incorrect and desired more freedom.

And due to the previous special system, the current Civilization Zero was only forcibly locking the disintegrating civilization firmly together with its formidable foundational Strength.

But the High Echelon clearly knew that this situation couldn't continue. And if a split occurred, Civilization Zero would be devoured and exhausted in the blink of an eye.

Therefore, the overall division into factions was rely a discussion on the civilization's path forward, as well as an inevitable phenonon wrapped in the birth of selfish desires.

The Radical Faction wanted to shift internal contradictions outward with a more intense posture, which ant constantly going to war externally.

Under such circumstances, the Interior, forced by external pressure, would inevitably condense into one lump.

And they also advocated for the exploration of the "Titan Civilization Ruins," because after all, that was their "spoil of war."

But the Conservative Faction wanted to first repair the Annihilation Device and restore Civilization Zero's previous form; that is, "to resist foreign aggression, one must first pacify the interior."

The Conservative Faction was headed by "The Prophet," while the Radical Faction had no one who could convince the masses.

Currently, they were arguing endlessly over the collision issue with the Eternal Civilization a while ago.

"...If you had given enough support, that Titan Civilization Ruins would have been thoroughly explored by us long ago." A person from the Radical Faction said coldly:

"The Eternal Civilization appearing in that place is definitely not an accident. Sothing we don't know about must have happened. Perhaps it's related to the Annihilation Device Shards."

A certain representative of the Conservative Faction said: "We found a Wandering Outpost nad Infinite Blazing Sun, and from them, we learned so information."

"The chanical Lord of the Eternal Civilization, Hashar, once appeared in that place and engaged in a fierce battle with an unknown lifeform."

"As for the result and the process, they aren't too clear."

"When did this news co out?" The Radical Faction people clearly hadn't received this news and were sowhat surprised.

"That unknown lifeform must be the key. Find a way to find him." The Prophet slowly spoke:

"The restoration of the Annihilation Device is of utmost importance. The internal contradictions of the civilization are already irreconcilable. Everyone wouldn't want the civilization's inheritance to break off in our hands, right?"

He had a certain amount of prestige; even the people of the Radical Faction restrained their emotions.

Actually, for these High Echelons, no matter what kind of civilization form it was, they were all Vested Interests.

The Annihilation Device could bind the lower class, but it couldn't bind them.

The reason why factions erged was rely because there were differences in how to solve the civilization's problems.

After all, if they really ruined the civilization, then what would they amount to?

"Also..." The Prophet paused and said: "Put the matter of exploring the Titan Civilization Ruins on the agenda. The Rule Entanglent Area is self-repairing, and its intensity has already dropped quite a bit."

"It's also ti to go in and take a look."

Smiles blood on the faces of the Radical Faction, and the rest of the people were also sowhat surprised, but they also understood that the Annihilation Device Shards truly tugged at The Prophet's heart.

...

Iron-Blood Civilization, Secret Warehouse Screening Point.

The long conveyor belt began to turn, and a square chanical device was transported out from inside the warehouse. It looked like a small Safe Deposit Box.

Quickly, this device was transported to the inspection room. Inside were various functions such as space-ti stabilizing anchors, electromagnetic interference, Energy Microwave Detection, and extre temperature resistance.

A large number of Staff mbers and High Echelons stood in front of the Safe Deposit Box, operating virtual screens and checking the data of this item, their expressions sowhat nervous.

"This is an SSS-Rank Item--Cosmic Source Material. The deploynt procedure has been approved by the Head of State and the Supre Elder Council to be transported to the Three Kings Civilization. The assigned transporter is—General Assad."

"He is already waiting outside. The pre-outbound verification is currently underway."

"...There are no problems with the data. Verification completed. Preparing for outbound handover."

After checking everything and ensuring that the Authority, procedures, and item were all correct, the Staff mbers placed this item in an empty storeroom and pressed the confirmation button.

Clack, clack...

In the next mont, four intelligent chanical Arms extended from the wall, clamped the Safe Deposit Box, and tossed it into the delivery port on the wall. The Cargo Pipeline operated rapidly, sending the Safe Deposit Box towards its Destination.

The Cargo Pipeline network spread throughout the entire warehouse, extending in all directions, paved with simple magnetic levitation tracks.

There were blue indicator lights at intervals. The high-speed transportation process of the Safe Deposit Box was like shuttling through a patch of blue light, advancing toward the Destination.

At the sa ti, the transportation pipeline here also maintained the operation of various Defensive Devices at all tis to avoid possible dangers.

As the secret warehouse of the Iron-Blood Civilization, this place was heavily fortified. Once there was any abnormal movent, it would be detected.

Quickly, the Safe Deposit Box was transported to the terminal room.

And a Fully ard, tall figure picked up the Safe Deposit Box, pressed the "Handover" button on the holographic barrier, and walked straight outside.

...

More than a month later, in a certain room in the Anti-King Organization Base, a faintly shimring Card floated in Li Yu's hand.

[Special Item--Equipnt Upgrade Scroll: After being used on System items, it can enhance them.

Note: After charging, it can unlock a higher-tier form, using "Gold Coins" as energy, which can also be substituted with other items in this Universe.

For example—Source Matter, Super Lifeforms, and other objects rich in Cosmic Origin.]

Back then, Number Two and Number Three died simultaneously in the DC World. Now, they had finally passed the cooldown period, and a while ago, they could be uniformly deployed.

He deployed them respectively to the [Ready Player One World] and the [Biohazard World], and the tasks executed were both [Obtain valuable items].

Because from this kind of world, it was basically impossible to obtain anything helpful to him; he could only pin his hopes on the System.

Therefore, it didn't matter what things were obtained.

With the current Strength of his Avatars, completing these tasks was no different from drinking water.

Neither of them spent too long before completing their tasks and returning.

The [Equipnt Upgrade Scroll] was exactly the item obtained from the [Ready Player One World].

Li Yu quite liked props with this kind of "ga" attribute because they were generally very ga-breaking.

And the [Progenitor Virus] obtained from the [Biohazard World] was relatively miraculous.

[Special Item--Progenitor Virus: After fusion, it will grant the subject a chance for Genetic Mutation.

Note: Detected that the subject's Genetic Structure is already close to perfection. Genetic Mutation is altered to ability bestowal.]

This thing obviously had so randomness.

The primary upgrade target for the [Equipnt Upgrade Scroll] was naturally the [Symbiotic Colonization Armor].

The help the [Symbiotic Colonization Armor] provided him now went without saying. Many items had to rely on the [Symbiotic Colonization Armor] to be used.

However, since the [Equipnt Upgrade Scroll] could be charged to undergo a tamorphosis, Li Yu naturally wasn't in a hurry to use it either.

After undergoing a charged tamorphosis, the effect of the [Equipnt Upgrade Scroll] would definitely be even more powerful.

Only after coming to this Universe did Li Yu discover that this thing called Source Matter seed to be a "universal asset."

Forging weapons, personal Evolution, and even System items could sotis use it.

This made him slightly regret giving a portion of the Source Matter to the Primordial King Kongs for Advancent.

However, this thought only flashed by in a fleeting mont. If he didn't have the Primordial King Kongs, he wouldn't have been able to co outside the Barren Universe Zone.

If he really spent a massive amount of ti slowly devouring Source Matter, who knows, he might have spent tens of thousands of years.

By that ti, perhaps the Barren Universe Zone would have already been dismantled.

As for this thing called Source Matter, in the vast Universe, it could always be found.

And during this period of nearly two months, he also gradually learned so things.

The Original Clone of the Three Kings and the Eternal King was a very unusual lifeform, originally used rely for research purposes.

The number of clones created by the Three Kings Civilization was innurable, but only the four of them survived.

The other three were the most perfect, while the Eternal King had flaws and was not valued.

After a long period of ti, the Three Kings evolved into Super Lifeforms and launched a massive rebellion, taking over this civilization.

The Eternal King remained unknown until the Three Kings began to oppress the civilization, exchanging the resources accumulated over tens of thousands or even over a hundred thousand years for Source Matter.

Only then could he no longer bear it and created the Anti-King Organization, wanting to liberate the Three Kings Civilization.

This story wasn't bad, but Li Yu didn't quite believe it. He always felt there was so other hidden trickery inside.

"However, it doesn't matter. We each take what we need, as long as it doesn't hinder ." His expression was gloomy and uncertain.

Chapter 831: Fell into a trap

In the central conference room of the base, many High Echelons of the Anti-King Organization, as well as Li Yu, were impressively present.

"Are we finally going to start the operation?" Li Yu inquired.

"Yes, the Iron-Blood Civilization's escort team has already set off. The plan can be prepared to begin." The Eternal King nodded. His body seed to have major problems, using so sort of equipnt to maintain his bodily balance.

Li Yu had observed for a period of ti and still hadn't figured out exactly what the situation was.

"Lenny, tell them." He instructed a certain High Echelon.

"Yes." That person nodded, and then unfolded a Holographic Screen, displaying a complex Star Map on it.

"According to our information data, the Iron-Blood Civilization's escort is General Assad." As he spoke, a corresponding biological model popped up.

"He is one of the highest-ranking generals of the Iron-Blood Civilization, and also a Super Lifeform. He specializes in Physical Reinforcent and has formidable Strength,"

Claptrap had already simultaneously translated his language into a language that Li Yu found more pleasing to the ear.

"I have a question," Li Yu suddenly said.

Lenny looked towards him and spoke: "Please speak."

"Since the Three Kings have already discovered that you are investigating the transportation route of the Source Matter, wouldn't they make changes?"

Li Yu knew that the commotion caused by the Anti-King Organization wasn't small. It was impossible for the Three Kings not to know. Since that was the case, would the other party still proceed according to the original transportation plan?

"This transportation plan wasn't unilaterally customized by the Three Kings, but negotiated with the Iron-Blood Civilization." Lenny explained: "If they want to make changes, they still need to discuss it with the Iron-Blood Civilization."

"They won't care about what risks the Three Kings might face. At least before entering the Three Kings Civilization, the transportation route won't have any changes."

The Iron-Blood Civilization was far more powerful than the Three Kings. They were only responsible for delivering the goods. As for what would happen after the delivery, they wouldn't care.

However, Li Yu believed it shouldn't be this simple. With the Three Kings placing so much importance on the Source Matter, he always felt that the Anti-King Organization was taking things too much for granted.

However, the other party had been busy for over a year for this and paid a high price. In their cognition, the plan should go smoothly.

Seeing Li Yu nod, Lenny continued: "The rest of the transportation route passes through six civilizations. Currently, it has already passed through the 'Sangbu Galaxy,' and the next location is the Three Kings Civilization."

"Are we going to make a move on him?" Li Yu inquired.

"No, although he is alone, he belongs to the Iron-Blood Civilization. We have no interest in provoking the Iron-Blood Civilization." The Eternal King shook his head.

"It's just that, once the handover takes place, the Three Kings will personally make a move, right?" Li Yu guessed.

"Yes, the Three Kings attach great importance to this and are already waiting at the handover location."

"You want to attack the Three Kings head-on? Those are three Super Lifeforms." Li Yu was sowhat surprised. According to the other party's Strength, it would probably be very difficult to deal with the Three Kings.

"Yes and no..." The Eternal King spoke vaguely, and then added: "I will find a way to separate the Three Kings. When the ti cos, there should only be one of them coming to receive it."

"Oh?" Listening to the other party's tone, it seed there were other people assisting.

However, the other party didn't want to say more on this matter and glossed over it.

"However, this plan still has great risks, but with Your Excellency Dragon Sovereign joining, the risks have been greatly reduced." The Eternal King said in a deep voice:

"After this plan concludes, the next step is to launch a general offensive against the Three Kings. The things you need, we will fetch them for you."

Hearing this, Li Yu was Noncommittal and simply nodded.

This was the other party's plan, not his.

Having determined the upcoming action plan, everyone left individually to make preparations.

And Li Yu also returned to his room, preparing to use the [Progenitor Virus].

Previously, when he was just about to use it, he was suddenly called away by the other party for a eting. Now was the perfect ti to use it.

As the green liquid rged into his body, he could also clearly feel his body heating up slightly.

However, this level was already very difficult to make him feel pain.

[Progenitor Virus fusing...]

Sizzle, sizzle—

The majestic Energy within his body was sowhat uncontrollable. Wild electrical light crackled like dozens of Thunder Whips. The air was filled with the burnt sll of electricity, and the Ground beca charred black.

[Fusion successful. Obtained special ability — Morphological Burst]

[Morphological Burst — Burn Life Source to activate an enhanced form until the Life Source is completely burned out or manually stopped.

During the duration of the enhanced form, all attacks are randomly enhanced by 100%-300%.]

Hm?

Li Yu's eyes lit up slightly. This was a rather potent ability. Although it carried a very strong randomness, according to his attack frequency, it would definitely substantially enhance his attack capabilities.

This newly obtained ability put him in a quite comfortable mood.

...

At the sa ti, in the highest Palace of the Three Kings Civilization, three diagonally facing thrones stood at the very top.

Sitting upright on them were three lifeforms of different forms.

The one on the far left emanated a strong twilight Aura, like an old man about to step into death.

The one on the far right was only half a person's height, and a hint of childlike innocence could faintly be seen in his eyes.

And the one in the very center was relatively normal, like a lifeform in the pri of his life.

These were the three kings: Past, Present, and Future.

"The Secret Investigation Departnt discovered traces of that guy. He seems to be very interested in the Source Matter escorted by the Iron-Blood Civilization." Past's voice was hoarse.

"General Assad is about to arrive at the rendezvous point. Let's set off too." Future's crisp voice rang out in the Palace.

"If he really appears, it's just the right ti to catch them all in one fell swoop and eliminate a hidden danger."

The three were discussing when right at this mont, an ergency communication rang out. A subordinate's slightly hasty voice sounded: "Three Royal Highnesses, Variant Body fluctuations have been detected, appearing near the Amphisia Star Ring."

"Variant Body fluctuations?"

"How could it be at this ti!?"

The expressions of the three kings all changed sowhat. Clearly, they cared very much about this Variant Body fluctuation.

Future speculated: "It's highly likely to be a Lure the Tiger Out of its Den strategy."

"But even so, Variant Body fluctuations are impossible to imitate. We must also go take a look," Past said.

"You two go take a look. I'll go rendezvous with General Assad." Present issued the order, his expression indifferent: "We have planned this matter for a long ti. I can handle it by myself."

Past and Future looked at each other and nodded: "We understand."

...

Sowhere In Space, General Assad stared at the Star Map in front of him. The subordinate beside him reported in a low voice: "My Lord, we will arrive at the rendezvous point very soon. At that ti, the Three Kings will personally co to handover."

"Mm, stay on alert." General Assad nodded. One of his hands was constantly carrying a Safe Deposit Box, never letting go under any circumstances.

"Yes." The subordinate nodded, but inwardly felt sowhat disapproving. It wasn't towards his imdiate superior, but rather he believed that no one would dare to plot against them.

As the escort team of the Iron-Blood Civilization, their movents were already classified. Along the way, no blind fools had dared to intercept them either.

Two days later, they successfully docked with the receiving team of the Three Kings Civilization.

"Only you?" General Assad looked at Present, who ca alone, his expression sowhat puzzled.

According to the established plan, weren't the Three Kings supposed to co together for the handover?

"Yes, the other two have temporary matters." Present nodded, every move filled with an Aristocratic Temperant.

General Assad nodded, not caring too much about this either.

His task was over after completing the handover. Where the other two went had nothing to do with him.

"SSS-Rank Item — Cosmic Source Material, currently undergoing handover. Receiver — Ruler of the Three Kings Civilization..."

General Assad followed the established procedures and handed over the Safe Deposit Box in his hand.

At the instant the other party took it, whatever happened next would have nothing to do with him.

...

And in a certain secret base on the Amphisia Star Ring, a massive battle seed to have taken place here, with severed limbs and broken remains scattered everywhere.

There were gaps on the Ground and walls, revealing the Automated Defense Systems inside, but most of them had already been smashed to pieces.

Multi-Barreled Turrets had been twisted into fried dough twists, and only the bases of the Laser launchers remained.

The tal on the Ground was even flowing like Magma, and was currently in the process of rapid condensation.

Such a scene extended to the deepest part of the base. Along the way, blood flowed like a river, with no survivors left.

In the most central Research Lab, Past and Future stood tall here.

Boom!

A ring of Shockwave blasted outwards from beneath their feet, followed by an unusual Energy suddenly shooting out. Due to extre condensation, it flashed with dazzling light, solid as substance and extrely majestic.

It was like a Light Beam, even distorting the sense of space around it, instantly engulfing the several lifeforms exuding powerful Auras in front of them.

This Energy was like a Black Hole exuding infinite gravitational pull, emitting a bizarre suction force.

Pfft!

Aside from the two of them, all other lifeforms had already collapsed on the ground, twitching all over, unable to get up.

Their mouths and noses were like opened faucets, red and white fluids pouring out, even their brains had been shaken out.

"Demon, Demon!"

The only survivor roared incessantly. Although there was a hint of fear in his eyes, he still wasn't afraid of death.

"It's only a part. It should have been stripped from the Variant Body." Past walked to the central research table, where a black hair floated.

"This is indeed Lure the Tiger Out of its Den. They must have intentionally drawn us here." Future nodded, seemingly unsurprised.

They had this speculation before coming, but the Variant Body was of utmost importance to them. Even if it might be fake, they had to co and take a look.

But at the sa ti, there was another reason.

"Haha, it's already too late!"

Hearing this, that researcher laughed loudly: "The Amphisia Star Ring is in a remote location. You simply won't be able to rush back in a short ti. Our plan has already succeeded!"

"Idiot!" Future glanced at him, his sowhat immature voice filled with contempt.

"The plan you're talking about, couldn't be luring us here and then taking the opportunity to intercept the Source Matter, right?"

The loudly laughing researcher seed as if his neck had been pinched. He looked at Future in astonishnt: "How did you know!?"

"An Idiot indeed. If we hadn't intentionally spread the news, how could you have known about the Source Matter?"

"What... what exactly do you an?" That researcher stared intently at the two before him.

"What do I an?" Future looked down and said: "The real Source Matter was devoured by Present long ago. What General Assad transported is nothing more than an Empty Shell."

"The purpose was just to lure that guy out. Us coming here was also to let him relax his vigilance."

"Do you really think we couldn't see through your plan?"

"What, an Empty Shell!?" The researcher's pupils shrank.

In the next mont, his Corporeal Form explosively shattered.

Past's aged eyes were filled with dissatisfaction as he said: "You spoke too much."

Future curled his lips, acting like a child: "I just wanted to see his despairing look before he died, that's all."

Past couldn't be bothered to argue with him and said: "Clean up this place, hurry to the rendezvous point as soon as possible, and regroup with Present."

Future, however, didn't care too much: "Don't worry, Present has already devoured three streaks of Source Matter and evolved to beco even stronger. That failed product simply cannot be his match."

"When we arrive, perhaps Present will have already finished clearing the battlefield. Once we catch that guy, we'll be able to know exactly where the Variant Body is."

Thinking of this, even Past's expression changed slightly, indescribable colors flickering in his eyes.

The Variant Body, that was their origin body, a miraculous Corporeal Form.

It was precisely because of that Corporeal Form that they had grown to their current state.

They had spent many years but hadn't found the Variant Body. The final clue lay with that unsuccessful Clone Body.

Past was still mature and prudent, saying: "Don't relax your vigilance. The fact that he could escape from the encirclent back then is enough to prove he is not simple at all."

Subsequently, the two soared into the sky, and this base also turned into cosmic dust, leaving nothing behind.

Chapter 832: I'm Withdrawing!

"Beep, beep, beep..."

The Eternal King, wearing Special Armor, looked at the prompt sound popping up on the interface.

That secret base had been offline for half an hour. It had probably already been torn to shreds by the furious "Past" and "Future."

"Operation, begin!" His eyes flickered as he suddenly issued an order in the channel.

In the next mont, centering on the handover point, a resplendent ring suddenly exploded out to a radius of tens of thousands of kiloters. This was a Trap laid in ambush in advance.

Then, a peculiar fluctuation emanated, suddenly enveloping the entire region.

"Space-Ti Locking Trap, mixed with Information State Solidification, and... Communication Blockade. The handiwork of the Eternal Civilization." General Assad didn't show any panic. He rubbed his fingers in the Void and had already perceived the origin of the Trap.

A Trap that could evade the perception of a Super Lifeform had to be appended with an Information State cover. Otherwise, in front of a Super Lifeform, it would be no different from swaggering around openly.

And things of this level were extrely expensive to manufacture, and only a few civilizations had the capability to produce them.

"Your enemies?" He asked Present, then added: "Our cooperative agreent ends here. We will not help you deal with any enemies."

"Provided the enemies don't include us as attack targets."

"I understand." Present nodded, looking around, a strange luster in his eyes.

As soon as his voice fell, dense points of light surfaced in the surrounding Void, crisscrossing and shooting out a massive amount of dense light rays. This triggered a certain fluctuation within the Trap, forming a large-scale distortion storm.

Bang bang bang bang bang!!

In an instant, endless Energy instantly drowned Present's figure.

A dazzling sphere of light instantly expanded, occupying everyone's line of sight.

Imdiately after, the Energy Sphere in the field suddenly exploded, bursting forth a terrifying Shockwave.

Boom!

The surrounding Three Kings Civilization Fleet was all blown away, instantly clearing out a large blank area.

And General Assad waved away the Residual Energy of the attack in front of his eyes. Although he was caught in the attack, he was not angry.

Because he hadn't been locked on as an attack target; this was rely the irregular spread of the attack's Residual Energy.

If this was also considered an attack, it would seem too far-fetched.

The Residual Energy dissipated. In the center of the explosion, Present's figure stood tall In Space, surrounded by a crystal-clear Prismatic Radiance that blocked all attacks, unhard.

"Information-State Eradication. We haven't t in a long ti, and you gave such a great gift as soon as we t."

Present's gaze was fixed in a certain direction. There, the Eternal King, wearing black Armor, slowly erged.

Behind the Armor visor, the Eternal King's face was gloomy, sowhat surprised.

Because in this attack, the other party actually didn't suffer the slightest damage.

This was a Weapon purchased from the Eternal Civilization. Although it was difficult to cause lethal damage to a Super Lifeform.

But under hasty circumstances, it could more or less cause so damage.

However, the other party could easily deal with it, which made him feel sothing was wrong.

It was just that The Arrow is on the Bowstring. Under these current circumstances, retreating was obviously impossible.

"Can I leave here?" General Assad asked in a flat tone.

"Suit yourself. As long as you don't help him, you are free to leave." The Eternal King naturally had no interest in Provoking Trouble with Assad.

"Truly ticulously Planned..." Present stared at the Eternal King: "Heng, you and I haven't seen each other for hundreds of years, right?"

"The Variant Body fluctuation was also created by you, right? Luring the other two away from , you wanted to ambush . Aren't you thinking a bit too simply?"

"Tsk, it seems a little off..." Li Yu pondered secretly. Originally, his position was quite close to the battlefield, but now he began to retreat.

The other party had obviously seen through the Eternal King's plan, yet still chose to follow the other party's plan. This was clearly wrong.

Under these circumstances where he Can't Figure Out things temporarily, it was better to retreat a little.

"So what if I am?"

The Eternal King suddenly erupted with a powerful Aura, like a stellar explosion, blotting out the sky and covering the sun. Then, golden-red flas burst forth all over his body, turning him into a teor charging forward to crash into Present.

Bang!

His fist hit squarely on the chest. Bright light flashed in the Eternal King's eyes; he hadn't expected "Present" to actually not dodge.

Majestic Energy was injected, pouring into "Present's" body along the fist, turning into a concussive force that explosively detonated.

The Eternal King's combat experience was extrely rich; he wouldn't let go of this fighting opportunity.

In an instant, he chose the attack thod with the most powerful explosive force, preparing to deal the other party a ruthless blow.

However, just as he prepared to start, a large slap smacked onto his outer Armor, directly breaking through all defenses and solidly colliding with his cheek.

Smack!!

This slap was heavy and powerful. The Eternal King's eyes bulged, his head buzzed from being smacked, and he seed to hear the sound of his own facial bones cracking in his ears.

Before he could recover from the montary dizziness, a storm-like barrage of close-combat strikes suddenly hit him.

Every second, countless heavy blows landed on his body, shattering layer after layer of protective Energy Barriers, causing his muscles to ripple in circles, continuously leaving depressions. Severe pain swept over every nerve again and again like a tide.

The Eternal King instinctively raised his hands to parry, protecting his vital points, his head still a bit dazed.

"Present's" Strength exceeded imagination, directly blasting him into a near-concussion.

After being chased and beaten by "Present" for several seconds, the Eternal King finally found a flaw.

"Don't think about running!"

The Eternal King spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva. His muscles suddenly bulged, his body size expanding by a circle, and his power surging. However, before he was ready to exert force, he was blasted away by a punch.

The Void behind him twisted as a result. The majestic power made it very difficult for him to resist.

"Is this all you have? Heng, you've disappointed too much!"

"Present" shouted loudly, crossing his arms and looking down at the Eternal King.

The Eternal King was astonished inwardly, unable to help but say: "How could your Strength be this strong!?"

"Hehe... you looked down on us too much, Heng." His tone was cold: "Did you really think you could inquire about this kind of classified information?"

"Present" held the Safe Deposit Box and opened it directly in front of the Eternal King's face.

However, it was completely empty inside; there was nothing at all.

This was an Empty Shell!?

The Eternal King's pupils shrank. This was sothing he hadn't anticipated at all.

"The real Source Matter completed handover as early as three years ago. This ti is nothing more than a Trap. It was just a play I had the Iron-Blood Civilization act out!"

"Present" looked down at the Eternal King.

The Eternal King said in a deep voice: "How could the Iron-Blood Civilization possibly agree to act in this play with you?"

"Nothing is impossible, as long as the corresponding appearance fee is paid."

"We have been looking for you for a long ti, and several tis you managed to escape. This ti, I devoured three streaks of Source Matter, ensuring absolutely nothing can go wrong. It is truly an excellent opportunity."

Essentially, both sides could roughly guess each other's plans. After all, having been enemies for so long, they definitely had so understanding of each other.

Fighting to the end, it was nothing more than a comparison of whose Strength was stronger, who could decide the battle situation.

The Eternal King perhaps anticipated that the other party highly likely had a trump card left, but he completely didn't expect that this was an out-and-out scam.

"Did you think I didn't have a backup plan!?" The Eternal King's tone suddenly sank, his ntal Fluctuation sweeping across the field: "Dragon Sovereign!"

This made "Present's" eyes narrow slightly, vigilantly scanning his surroundings.

However, after the Eternal King's majestic shout, the entire Starry Sky seed unusually silent. No enemies or Traps appeared.

"Dragon Sovereign?"

He repeated this na. There was absolutely no mory in his mind, and it didn't belong to any title of a lifeform at his level.

Including General Assad, who was also sowhat puzzled. He was sitting in the VIP spectator seats, just intending to watch the show. Why did this guy seem to have Fizzled Out?

The Eternal King was stunned, his expression changing. Only then did he understand: that guy nad Dragon Sovereign had run away.

Motherfucker, as expected, I shouldn't have trusted him easily.

"If I go out to risk my life for you now, I'd have a screw loose. Don't tell I'm your only backup plan."

Li Yu watched from afar, having absolutely no intention of making a move.

That "Present" had stayed ahead of the Eternal King in every aspect.

But the Eternal King probably wasn't Not to be Trifled With either; it was impossible for him not to have a backup plan.

"Heng, where's your backup plan? I'm waiting."

"Present" seed to have also understood, staring at the Eternal King with interest.

"My backup plan?" The Eternal King's expression was gloomy. He was already angry due to the failure of the plan. Now realizing that the Dragon Sovereign had fled before the battle, his anger surged even more.

However, the appearance of the Dragon Sovereign was an accident to begin with. His backup plan for dealing with unexpected situations was naturally not limited to just the Dragon Sovereign.

The Armor on the surface of his body disintegrated, revealing a hideous Corporeal Form. Those pustules all over his body made it very difficult for people to believe this was a Super Lifeform.

However, those pustules were fluctuating at different frequencies and quickly burst. A pale yellow liquid flowed along the Eternal King's body, and accompanying it was his continuously climbing Aura.

The Eternal King's Aura could almost Shake the Universe, and various bizarre and motley scenes erged around him:

"You all think I am a failed product, but in essence, we are the most successful Clone Body. It's just that the frail body couldn't withstand that kind of power!"

Boom!

He charged up once again, and this ti, "Present" didn't dare to take him lightly.

His expression was solemn as resplendent crystals surfaced around his body, refracting light, but even they found it difficult to resist the Eternal King's Impact.

The Eternal King simultaneously emitted a ntal Fluctuation: "General Assad, are you interested in helping ? If we kill him, then you can recover three streaks of Source Matter."

"Interesting." General Assad watched the scene unfold before him.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't intervene unless an abnormal situation occurred.

But now was not the ti, so facing the Eternal King's invitation, he still chose to Stand Idly By.

However, soone muttered secretly in the dark: "It can actually be recovered? You should't have said so earlier!"

Bang!

A majestic Shockwave burst forth, and this ti it was "Present" who flew backward.

But he didn't show much surprise, saying: "I guessed correctly. As expected, you are the one closest to the Variant Body."

"What a pity. This state probably won't last long, will it?"

He understood the Eternal King very well. Up until now, apart from that "Dragon Sovereign," everything was still within his control.

Until the next mont...

His expression suddenly changed drastically, and he abruptly looked in another direction. He saw a sharp radiance suddenly appear and chop towards him. The power contained within it made it difficult for even him to ignore.

"Another Three Kings-level!?"

Crystal barriers surfaced in front of him one after another, but they shattered layer by layer. The other party had already arrived right before his eyes.

"Freeze!"

He brought his hands together, and the surrounding space-ti began to rapidly congeal and compress at an extrely fast speed, forming a Space-Ti Shield.

It could be clearly seen that the sharp light gradually stagnated. It was actually an axe that looked very ancient, its surface covered in many tiny fissures, seemingly severely damaged, but its might was still not to be underestimated.

More importantly, he felt a familiar Aura from it. It was Source Matter!

"This kind of Weapon..." He was slightly stunned inwardly, and then he saw a fist striking from the side.

Bang!

The fist solidly smashed into his face. The terrifying power it carried made it almost impossible for him to resist. His skin and flesh suddenly burst open, leaving only a skeletal fra.

"You have such bad luck, the Amplification almost reached 300%."

While Li Yu spoke, his movents didn't stop, launching attacks one after another.

He directly activated the [Bloodsoaked War] state, and even used the newly obtained [Morphological Burst]. Every strike would receive a random Amplification.

However, "Present" had already noticed a bizarre phenonon.

The other party's attack intensity was sotis very strong, and sotis it dropped quite a bit.

When it was strong, it made him feel threatened as well, which was very strange, but when it was weak, it was just so-so.

"Dragon Sovereign..." The Eternal King was sowhat astonished. He hadn't expected the Dragon Sovereign to suddenly charge out midway and catch the other party Caught off guard.

He had thought the other party had feared "Present's" Strength just now and had already left this place.

"You are the Dragon Sovereign?"

"Present" could still afford to be distracted during the battle, which was enough to prove that the threat Li Yu posed to him was essentially limited.

"You seem to be very proficient in devouring Source Matter?" Li Yu asked likewise.

Energy intertwined, causing this Star Sector to present a peculiar fractured state, with colors and heat constantly flashing.

"This Weapon..." General Assad seed to have discovered sothing, staring intently at this suddenly appearing "Dragon Sovereign."

The Eternal King didn't just watch either, directly charging up while secretly communicating with Li Yu, saying:

"End the battle quickly, I cannot sustain this form for long."

Li Yu: "..."

End the battle quickly my ass. "Present's" Strength had probably already surpassed the Initial Tier standard established by the Eternal Civilization.

Although the two of them joined forces, coupled with Li Yu's auxiliary thods, trying to take down "Present" in a short period of ti was obviously unrealistic.

He could only use so other thods.

Chapter 833: Dragon Sovereign, cover my retreat! (Serious face)

"Your support seems to be nothing more than this."

"Present" fought for a mont and had roughly figured out the true combat power of this Dragon Sovereign.

Although the battle scene was temporarily in a stalemate, it was still relatively difficult for these two people to pose a substantive threat to him.

Moreover, the Eternal King's form obviously couldn't last too long. As long as he waited until the other party's duration ended, victory would still belong to him.

The aftershocks stirred the spatial layers of the Star Sector, forming massive Void vortexes. The Energy Fluctuations blooming from their clashes twisted the spatial perception of any eyewitnesses.

In an instant, the three clashed hundreds, even thousands of tis, shaking out overflowing lightning and firelight.

It looked like simple close-quarters brawling, but in reality, their offensives were interspersed with a large number of thods exclusive to the level of Super Lifeforms. Information-State Eradication, space-ti stagnation, energy conversion, and other thods erged endlessly.

It wasn't just attacks; various invisible force fields and radiation constantly enveloped the enemies' bodies, restricting their opponents' movents like a spider web.

Casual strikes carried energy beams akin to a torrential downpour, blasting each other's defensive thods until they scattered and flickered incessantly, turning into large swaths of light particles, as if a hazy luminous dust floated in the battlefield.

The scene was incredibly beautiful, yet filled with World-Destroying Energy.

Energy spewed out all over the Eternal King's body. His entire person seed to be evolving towards a higher form, and the skin on his surface was constantly peeling off.

His body's core was undergoing high-level Energization. Through the gaps in his skin, the light shining within his body could be clearly seen, making him look extrely bizarre.

And his Strength was continuously increasing.

Their forms were all sowhat similar, being a humanoid shape, about three ters tall, with gray-brown skin, and their limbs and bones also had so strange characteristics.

From the conversation between the two just now, Li Yu caught the term "Variant Body."

Based on related information, the Variant Body was their origin, or the original body.

Li Yu was still quite curious about this so-called "Variant Body."

Because he was not entirely ignorant of cloning technology.

As the sa race, the general genetic structure was the sa, but there were imnse differences deep within the Genes.

Large-scale cloning would simultaneously amplify uncertainties. Moreover, the value of cloning an Ordinary Lifeform was not great; the Major Civilizations rely used it as an auxiliary research thod.

But the Three Kings were obviously different.

What kind of Clone Body could simultaneously give birth to four Super Lifeforms?

Li Yu didn't believe this was just a pure coincidence.

There was definitely sothing fishy about that so-called "Variant Body."

Furthermore, the Eternal King even claid that he himself was the Clone Body closest to the "Variant Body."

Perhaps this form of his was evolving towards the "Variant Body."

It was just that, as a defective Clone Body, it was obviously difficult to complete this Evolution.

Therefore, as his erupting Aura grew stronger and stronger, it simultaneously beca more and more unstable, as if it could collapse at any ti.

The Eternal King gritted his teeth secretly. He had been playing gas with these three guys for many years, and added to the fact that they were all Clone Bodies, they understood each other very well.

He also had his suspicions beforehand. He wanted to use this opportunity to ambush the Three Kings, and the Three Kings also wanted to use this opportunity to fish him out.

And transferring "Future" and "Past" away was similarly an Overt Strategy.

If you wanted to fish out, then you had to use yourself as bait and weaken your own defensive strength, otherwise it would be impossible for him to appear here.

That's why he appeared so vague when facing Li Yu's inquiries previously.

Planning to the very end, what was actually being contested was their respective thods and Strength.

He believed that having developed this Special Form and becoming stronger, it would be enough to take down "Present."

But he never expected that "Present" had long completed Source Matter Fusion and evolved once again. His Strength was also even more powerful.

So now, continuing to fight had instead beco a less-than-ideal choice.

But having reached this point, wanting to easily retreat was obviously impossible, and "Present" wouldn't possibly let him off either.

"Unless..."

The Eternal King conjured a Long Sword and thrust it straight forward. "Present" blocked it, and the edge of the sword carrying an Energy Shockwave stimulated large areas of Electric Arcs to flash continuously on his Prismatic Crystal Shield.

"Soone can help block him."

The Eternal King's thoughts flashed. He wasn't entirely without vigilance toward this Dragon Sovereign. He had investigated him secretly for a long ti but hadn't found the other party's origin.

Previously, he even suspected the other party might have been sent by the Three Kings.

But having stayed in that base for so long and the Three Kings not sending anyone to attack was enough to prove that the other party had nothing to do with the Three Kings.

This powerful evolved entity that suddenly popped up with extraordinary Strength was completely outside of his plans, but now it ca in unexpectedly handy.

He didn't know why the other party didn't appear just now and then suddenly attacked "Present."

He also had no ti to ponder these questions. Right now, he just wanted to evacuate from here as quickly as possible.

Since he controlled the Variant Body, he definitely had the chance to find another opportunity to Make a coback.

As for selling out this Dragon Sovereign, he felt no sense of guilt or remorse whatsoever. Such useless emotions couldn't bring him any benefits.

Astonishing Energy Shockwaves constantly exploded in the arena. The surrounding Starry Sky had long since turned into a mush.

Even after the battle ended, it would be difficult to repair in a short ti. Perhaps it would form a "Void Condensation Zone," becoming a Jedi that was quite difficult for Ordinary Lifeforms to approach.

Only General Assad was Light as Wind and Cloud, constantly fiddling with the Smart Computer he carried with him.

"I keep feeling that Weapon is sowhat familiar, but I just can't rember where exactly I've seen it..." he muttered secretly. The Holographic Screen in front of him only had three large words: "No Signal..."

Due to the Trap's blockade and the influence of the battle between three powerful lifeforms, it made it difficult for him to contact his civilization.

The offline Database of his portable computer didn't store too much classified data, so he couldn't search for related information.

Although he couldn't find related information, he could be certain that that Weapon was definitely very important.

...

"Dragon Sovereign, I still have a backup plan. Help delay for a mont. It will be enough to pose a massive threat to him and buy us ti to retreat."

The Eternal King contacted Li Yu secretly, causing Li Yu, who was just about to call for backup, to pause.

Still have thods?

This guy hid himself quite deeply.

However, he isn't intentionally Conning to draw fire, and then waiting for an opportunity to escape, is he?

Li Yu instinctively suspected this. He and the Eternal King were rely temporary partners. Just now, he was prepared to abandon the other party and retreat, not wanting to engage in a pointless battle.

So now, it was also very reasonable to have the sa suspicion towards the Eternal King.

However, he had a bottom-line thod and was not afraid. If the Eternal King truly posed a massive threat to "Present."

Then perhaps he wouldn't need to mobilize the Eternal Machine God, and could kill the other party just by ganging up on him.

After all, although the Ultimate Intelligence couldn't lock onto the [Eternal Core] embedded in the [Symbiotic Colonization Armor], it could discover the active traces of the Eternal Machine God.

That administrator of the Eternal Civilization was a bit frightening. Li Yu didn't know if excessively using the Eternal Machine God would cause the other party to forcibly lock onto him.

"Alright, I will cooperate with you." Li Yu nodded decisively. Holding the Titan Giant Axe, he abruptly charged forward, squeezing his body's potential to attack multiple tis in a short period.

As the attack frequency increased, the attack Amplification triggered more often.

And due to the uncertainty of his attacks, it was very difficult for "Present" to estimate what kind of defensive strength he should use to block.

This forced him to deal with Li Yu's offense with all his might, giving the Eternal King a chance to free his hands.

"Now!" The Eternal King suddenly shouted loudly.

"Present" was abruptly startled. A large number of Prismatic Crystals once again surfaced around him, performing Space-Ti Refraction and Information-State Inversion on him.

The "concept" of his existence beca increasingly blurred. So lower-intensity Energy even passed directly through his body.

"Present" didn't underestimate the Eternal King. They had paid a lot of resources and a high price to set up this perfect trap.

Moreover, the appearance fee to have the Iron-Blood Civilization act in a play wasn't cheap.

Therefore, seeing that the Eternal King seed to have the possibility of using an ultimate move, he imdiately maximized his defense to avoid a last-minute upset.

The Energy surging within the Eternal King's body suddenly enhanced. He decisively turned his head, turning into a streak of Flowing Light, and shot fiercely towards the distance.

"Ran away!?"

"Present's" expression changed slightly, and then he looked coldly at Li Yu. Anger flashed in his pupils as he shouted: "Why did he run!?"

"How would I know? I've only known him for a few months."

Li Yu was also sowhat Speechless. He had really guessed right; the Eternal King had actually wanted to abandon him and retreat alone.

Taking advantage of the fact that the other party hadn't yet run out of visual range, Li Yu hurriedly took out a small prop — [Satellite Positioning], to first lock onto the other party's position.

"Get out of the way, I have no interest in you!"

"Present" rebuked, bypassing Li Yu to give chase. During his escape, the Eternal King didn't forget to clean up his traces behind him.

But within a short ti, "Present" could still lock onto his location.

However, if delayed any further, it would be hard to say.

"Wait..." Li Yu once again blocked his path forward.

"Scram!"

The coldness in "Present's" eyes grew more intense: "Do you really think I am Powerless Against you? The Eternal King has already abandoned you, why must you fight to the death for him?"

"Present" was purely defending just now because he wanted to stall past the Eternal King's burst duration. This way, he could secure victory more safely.

But now, facing Li Yu alone, and being more anxious to chase after the "Eternal King," he erupted without any reservations!

Before Li Yu even had ti to reply, his vision suddenly blurred.

He saw "Present's" speed increase explosively. The Prismatic Crystals he carried with him ford a weapon resembling a long halberd, refracting cosmic radiance, and slashing out a golden arc of radiance.

He hurriedly raised his axe to parry. The shockwave penetrated his body, and a sonic boom exploded beside his ear.

Clang!!

Terrifying imnse force transmitted along his arms. The [Symbiotic Colonization Armor] trembled, the [Thunderstorm Armor] activated, and Electric Arcs surged.

The Armor seed to crack slightly, but the next mont it rapidly repaired itself.

At this mont, "Present's" movents didn't stop. The Prismatic Crystals floating around him suddenly spurted out thick energy beams with a caliber of over a hundred ters.

Bang!!

Li Yu was blasted flying by a series of energy attacks, and the derived Energy Shield shattered on a large scale under the chain bombardnt.

The Eternal King followed like a shadow, in hot pursuit. The Prismatic Crystals brought up streaks of light waves, constantly slashing across Li Yu's body.

[TL Note: "Eternal King followed like a shadow" seems to be an author error. Based on context, it should be "Present followed like a shadow". We will leave it as is per the source text]

But behind the other party, a resplendent Golden Giant Tree faintly surfaced, causing him to remain within the safety line, even though he was like a small boat that could be capsized at any ti in a violent storm.

Seeing this scene, General Assad, who was watching, couldn't help but turn his expression solemn.

Although having the Iron-Blood Empire backing him gave him the confidence to face "Present."

But "Present's" Strength still couldn't help but make him feel Apprehension.

"Devouring Source Matter is indeed very powerful, but one cannot break through the 'barrier'." General Assad seed to recall certain matters and couldn't help shaking his head, then he looked at that Dragon Sovereign again:

"This guy also seems quite extraordinary. He can actually barely withstand 'Present's' frontal assault."

"Present" himself also hadn't expected this guy to be so capable of taking a beating.

And what was even more bizarre was that the other party's Strength was actually slowly rising as ti passed. This gave him a bad premonition.

More importantly, this bit of delayed ti was already enough for the Eternal King to escape to safety and erase all remaining traces.

Even if he gave chase now, he might not necessarily be able to find traces of the Eternal King.

This ant his plan had failed again!

This had already been a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity. The Eternal King had already discovered that his Strength had leaped, and definitely wouldn't appear so easily next ti.

In fact, scenes like this of exchanging blows and dismantling moves had appeared many tis in the past, but this was the closest he had been to success.

Yet it was ruined by this guy before him who popped out of nowhere!

"Present's" eyes surged with anger, focusing all his attention on Li Yu, and said sternly: "Since you are willing to die for the Eternal King and don't want to leave here, then you don't have to leave!"

Li Yu barely maintained his defense, and couldn't help but sigh: "Who told you I was doing it for the Eternal King? I have my eyes set on you!"

As soon as Li Yu's words fell.

"Present" suddenly sensed sothing wrong. In his perception range, multiple different Information State Anomaly Bodies suddenly popped up, their Energy Reactions astonishing.

General Assad discovered sothing was amiss a step later. Both pairs of his eyes simultaneously looked in four directions, seemingly a bit shocked and uncertain.

Subsequently, eight Super Primal King Kongs arrived from all directions, converging into the battlefield and surrounding "Present." Every single one exuded an astonishing might.

Eight Three Kings-level lifeforms!?

Where did they co from!?

"Present's" expression sank. He couldn't help but rein in his offensive, vigilant of his surroundings.

General Assad was also extrely astonished. How could so many chanical Lifeforms of this level suddenly pop up?

Chapter 834: We have enough enemies, let's get so allies!

The Eternal King, fleeing frantically, paid careful attention to the movents behind him.

He knew that once the Dragon Sovereign found out he had fled, he definitely wouldn't continue to block "Present."

And "Present's" main goal was also to catch him, in order to find traces of the "Variant Body." It was absolutely impossible for him to stay behind and continue tangling with the Dragon Sovereign.

Which ant that the ti left for him to escape wasn't long.

At the sa ti, he was also ready to be intercepted at any mont, even prepared for the thought of fighting to the death.

However, until he evacuated far away from the battlefield range, even cleaning up his traces, re-concealing his Aura, and shielding his Information State.

After all the work was completed, he still hadn't noticed any sign of "Present" chasing after him.

This made him sowhat suspicious.

"What's going on? 'Present' didn't chase after ? Did so accident happen?"

"He couldn't have really been stopped by the Dragon Sovereign, could he?"

This thought flashed past. Even he himself felt it was ridiculous.

They had only known each other for a few months. Although they had briefly reached a cooperation, they were full of vigilance towards each other.

How could he possibly go all out for his evacuation? Moreover, although the Dragon Sovereign's Strength was not bad, there was obviously still a long distance compared to "Present."

It was impossible for him to be his opponent.

Reason told him he should evacuate from here as quickly as possible now. After all, the enemy hadn't chased after him, and regardless of the reason, it was beneficial to him.

But the Three Kings and he originated from the sa body, and because of certain goals, their enmity had been entangled for a long ti.

If it were other enemies, he definitely would have turned his head and left, but involving the Three Kings, he believed it was necessary to figure out exactly what had happened.

After today, they still had to continue entangling for a long ti. Any information or intelligence, he had to grasp at the first possible mont.

"I have already cleaned up the traces, and the Three Kings also couldn't possibly track . Although returning now is sowhat risky, as long as I am careful, there shouldn't be any problems."

"Moreover, they definitely wouldn't expect that I would return secretly."

The Eternal King pondered secretly and quickly made up his mind, preparing to return to the battlefield to see exactly what had happened.

He deliberately approached the battlefield from another direction, carefully concealing his Aura, and approaching step by step.

Just as he arrived near the battlefield, he noticed the chaotic Energy within it.

"The Dragon Sovereign seems to have suffered so injuries. It was actually really him who stopped 'Present.' What exactly does he want to do?" The Eternal King observed the situation, sowhat unexpected.

The Dragon Sovereign dealing with "Present" all by himself was obviously very strenuous, being beaten down while having his head pressed down.

However, the Eternal King didn't have any emotions akin to guilt in his heart.

With his lifespan, such useless emotions had long since ceased to appear.

He was just puzzled, what exactly did this Crazy Bastard want to do?

How could he be so kind-hearted as to help him block "Present."

However, just as this doubt arose, he similarly noticed several Information State Anomaly Bodies, watching the eight Super Primal King Kongs descend upon the battlefield.

Damn!

Where did these eight tin cans co from!?

He was inwardly astonished, looking at the eight Transforrs surrounding "Present."

The powerful Auras on their bodies all manifested their identities as "Three Kings-level" evolved entities.

Even in this Universe, the powerful lifeforms standing at the pinnacle of the evolutionary path were limited.

The appearance of the Dragon Sovereign had already puzzled him for a long ti, because previously this guy had no traces of activity whatsoever.

Not to ntion seeing eight Super Primal King Kongs now.

And now the answer was obvious.

He saw these eight chanical Lifeforms make way for a path. The Dragon Sovereign adjusted his sowhat tattered Armor and slowly floated in.

These eight chanical Lifeforms were all the Dragon Sovereign's people!

What exactly was the origin of this guy!?

The Eternal King had Mixed Feelings inwardly, while also unable to resist cursing angrily: If you motherfucker had this kind of trump card, you should've shouted it out earlier.

If you called for people earlier, wouldn't I not have betrayed you?

Now things were great.

If he only offended the Dragon Sovereign alone, he wouldn't care.

But the eight chanical Lifeforms that popped out now made the Eternal King's Mind in a Turmoil.

Just this quantity alone was enough for him to suffer greatly.

Not to ntion, what the appearance of this standardized chanical Lifeform represented.

Eight "Three Kings-level" chanical Lifeforms, with very similar physical characteristics and styles, heralded one thing.

The word "mass production" was stuck at the edge of his mouth, but he couldn't say it out loud no matter what.

"Trouble, big trouble..." he muttered softly.

...

And in the arena, "Present" looked at the Dragon Sovereign, who was surrounded in the center by the chanical Lifeforms. The emotions in his heart were equally complex, which made him unable to resist asking:

"Exactly who are you!?"

He similarly understood that "Three Kings-level" lifeforms were limited.

Lifeforms of this level, only powerful civilizations had the resources to cultivate them.

Even if it was a solitary individual, occasionally having one or two pop up was one thing.

This string of eight popping out was just too terrifying.

Moreover, the other party was a chanical Lifeform, obviously forged, and there was still the Aura of Source Matter on their bodies.

It seed as if they were forged as Weapons, obviously vastly different from the evolutionary path of the Eternal Civilization.

He racked his brains and couldn't think of such a civilization existing in this Universe.

Was it a new civilization that hadn't been discovered yet?

We hadn't discovered them, but they discovered us first?

"There seems to be battle damage on their Corporeal Forms..."

"Present" observed secretly and finally found sothing relatively advantageous to him.

"You don't need to care who I am. I have my eyes set on the Source Matter inside your body." Li Yu touched a crack on the [Symbiotic Bio-Armor], which was still undergoing slow self-repair.

"Source Matter, your goal is Source Matter?"

"Present's" expression was very unsightly, because this was an irreconcilable contradiction. He added: "I have no intention of being enemies with Your Excellency."

"Although you hold the advantage in numbers, the injuries on these few individuals haven't been repaired yet. If I want to leave, I'm afraid it would be very difficult for you to stop ."

Since the other party had revealed an extraordinary foundation, he couldn't engage in a life-or-death struggle with him either.

His words made a lot of sense.

Li Yu also understood, which was why he had just placed his hopes on the Eternal King to play a role. Who knew the other party would turn his head and run away.

Tsk... ran away but still ca back to watch.

His gaze indistinctly glanced in a certain direction. Due to the prop's influence, he could lock onto the Eternal King's position at any ti.

Therefore, he had long discovered that the Eternal King had gone in a large circle and ended up returning to the edge of the battlefield to peep. Truly perverted enough.

However, he didn't expose this matter, just acting as if he hadn't discovered anything.

"So, we can only end the battle quickly..." Li Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and the [Eternal Core] within the [Symbiotic Bio-Armor] was instantly activated.

The eight Super Primal King Kongs rapidly converged towards Li Yu, forming various chanical structures.

Boom!

The heaven-reaching and earth-shattering Eternal Machine God descended upon this Universe once again.

"This is... an ability similar to the Eternal Machine God!?"

"Present's" expression changed drastically.

Of course he knew about the Eternal Machine God. That was the Eternal Civilization's bottom-of-the-box asset.

chanical combination to burst out with more powerful combat strength; this was the romance belonging to machinery!

Yet he never expected that the Dragon Sovereign before him could actually use it as well.

Without a second thought, he erupted with a massive amount of Prismatic Crystals around his body, and just like the Eternal King, turned his head and ran!

Eight combining into one, the combat power would definitely soar. There was no point in fighting.

And Li Yu's actions were even more simple and crude. The massive chanical structures on the surface of the Eternal Machine God assembled into huge Energy Cannon Ports, with multicolored Source Matter radiance flashing within them.

Even before firing, the Void at the cannon's muzzle began to twist.

At the sa ti, the [Hawkeye Emblem] flashed in his hand. Ranged attacks launched personally possessed an additional locking function.

Rumble!

This Star Sector seed to be trembling. The resplendent radiance made even the Eternal King unable to resist narrowing his eyes, and the power contained within it made General Assad also unable to resist shivering.

The mont the Energy Beam shot out, it began tracking according to a special trajectory.

The fleeing "Present" felt a bone-piercing chill. The intuition of an Advanced Lifeform told him one thing.

He absolutely could not let this strike hit him.

Along the way, massive amounts of Prismatic Crystals were shattered, and he himself perford various long-distance Warps.

He even forcefully distorted the surrounding space-ti, severing his ager connection with the Universe, yet he still couldn't shake off this attack.

Clearly there was no sensation of being locked on!

"Present" gritted his teeth, exhausting all thods, and could only watch helplessly as the attack approached until his entire Corporeal Form was covered by Energy.

Boom!

Ring-shaped fluctuations instantly swept across the battlefield. Space-ti twisted, and the Star Sector shattered like glass, extending towards infinity, and then collapsed with a loud bang!

Flowing Light shot out in all directions, and Information State turbulence erupted, tangling together. This caused various bizarre and motley scenes to erge and disappear.

The Eternal Machine God rely waited for the explosion's aftershocks to slightly dissipate before diving deep into the core. Forcefully sweeping away the aftershocks, he found the nearly crystallized "Present."

More than half of his Corporeal Form had already disappeared, leaving only a millstone-sized Crystal, within which so dense substance was flashing.

"This power, it seems a bit scary. The body is completely gone... only the Source Matter is left."

This was Li Yu's first ti using the Eternal Machine God, ford by the combination of eight Super Primal King Kongs, to attack, and he didn't grasp the strength well.

Coupled with the assistance of the [Hawkeye Emblem], it actually directly instant-killed "Present" until only slag remained.

The Eternal King at the edge of the battlefield had a sluggish gaze.

"Present" had turned into a crystal block?

"Present," who had already devoured three streaks of Source Matter, theoretically reached the first tamorphosis of the Source Matter faction, and his Strength leaped substantially.

And he was instant-killed just like that!?

Subsequently, his expression beca Moody.

"How could he be killed? If you kill him, what am I going to do..."

"Present" was his enemy, and now he was eliminated.

But he didn't look too happy; instead, he was sowhat pained.

It's better to leave here as soon as possible...

He didn't know if this massive chanical Body could discover him, but the Eternal King didn't dare to Gamble. He took a deep look at the Eternal Machine God before turning around and leaving here once again.

General Assad's eyes flickered, slightly calming his inner emotions. Looking at the massive chanical Body that had already locked onto him, he spoke:

"The recent abnormal movents of the Eternal Civilization and Civilization Zero are all because of you, right?"

He finally rembered. That giant axe, that giant tree were all Weapons from the Titan Civilization, items they called "divine artifacts."

Every single one was forged using Source Matter combined with various precious materials. The technology was unique and perfectly suited. To this day, no civilization could achieve this.

It was just that those Weapons were buried together in The Ruins along with the destruction of the Titan Civilization.

And during the era of the war between Civilization Zero and the Titan Civilization, the Iron-Blood Civilization hadn't yet been discovered.

However, they also carefully studied that war and obtained part of the relevant data through various channels.

And recently, the Iron-Blood Civilization also discovered the abnormal movents of Civilization Zero and the Eternal Civilization.

They launched various open and secret struggles revolving around the Titan Civilization Ruins.

This certainly wasn't without any reason. It was just that the Iron-Blood Civilization hadn't found this reason.

But now, General Assad felt he had found the reason.

A lifeform walking out of the Titan Civilization Ruins was enough to affect the emotions of Civilization Zero and the Eternal Civilization.

"General Assad, right? Your guess is quite correct. I have already Provoked Trouble with Zero and Eternal, and I don't want to make an Iron-Blood covet too. So... you know what I an, right?"

The Eternal Machine God locked onto Assad, seemingly ready to launch an attack at any mont.

"Wait!"

General Assad no longer had his forr calm and collected deanor. He understood the Three Kings, and he also knew their grievances with the Eternal King, knowing them inside out, so he was indifferent.

But he completely didn't understand the guy in front of him. If he was blasted to death by a cannon, it would be too huge of a loss.

"We don't have much interest in the Titan Civilization. We are not survivors of that war; Eternal and Zero are." Assad said hurriedly:

"You don't get along with them, but you can definitely cooperate with us."

"Oh?"

Li Yu's heart stirred slightly. He controlled the [Eternal Core], so the Eternal Civilization wouldn't let him off.

He had Annihilation Device Shards in his body, so Zero wouldn't let him off either.

He didn't have any direct conflict with the Iron-Blood Civilization. If they cooperated, it seed like it wasn't impossible.

There were enough enemies; it was ti to get a few allies.

General Assad continued: "We know that both of them must be carrying out so plans, but we are not clear about the specific matters."

"I believe you should be able to help us understand more, in order to gain benefits in the ga between the two of them."

The Iron-Blood Civilization was not a survivor of the war, and the information gathered later on was also limited.

Now that they wanted to intervene, they didn't even know where to start, completely in the dark.

And a lifeform that walked out of the Titan Civilization Ruins and didn't get along with the Eternal Civilization and Civilization Zero was definitely an excellent cooperation partner.

Chapter 835: Threat from the Eternal King?

General Assad's proposal actually made Li Yu fall into deep thought.

Based on the principle that the enemy of an enemy is a Friend.

He didn't get along with the Eternal Civilization, so borrowing the strength of Civilization Zero was the best choice.

The reverse was also true, so there was absolutely no need to consider a third-party civilization.

It was just that his situation was sowhat special, resulting in his inability to borrow strength from either of these two civilizations.

Then the Iron-Blood Civilization was indeed a choice worth considering.

According to the relevant data in Hashar's Data Core, the Iron-Blood Civilization was a highly militarized civilization, and internally, the civilization exceptionally revered martial force.

When the location of their civilization was first discovered, they consecutively overturned more than a dozen powerful civilizations, and only restrained their arrogance after being jointly warned by the Eternal and other civilizations.

Their Path of Evolution was through continuously strengthening their bodies in order to break through the limits of lifeforms.

But even if he cooperated with the other party, there were still many aspects to consider.

However, he knew that his current position must have been discovered by the Ultimate Intelligence, so he had better try not to delay here for too long.

He thought for a mont and said: "I can consider your proposal, but not now."

"To avoid so unexpected situations, I require you to leave with now. Are there any problems?"

General Assad looked at the pitch-black cannon muzzles extending from the massive chanical Body in front of him, muttering inwardly—

Do I dare to have any problems?

"No problems..." He shook his head and said. He knew the other party was afraid that letting him leave would needlessly add another enemy.

So until he felt at ease, he wouldn't let him leak the news.

The Eternal Machine God disassembled, and three Super Primal King Kongs had already surrounded General Assad.

To show his sincerity, he also didn't put up any resistance, allowing the other party to restrict him, while simultaneously speaking:

"An accident happened to 'Present'. The other two kings will definitely ask the Iron-Blood Civilization about my situation. Please let explain it to them in advance; I won't leak the slightest bit of information."

Li Yu thought about it and agreed to his request, then stroked his chin and pondered secretly.

"Since the Ultimate Intelligence has locked onto this place, they should be sending soone over very soon. However, this place is very close to Civilization Zero, so they shouldn't dare to make a big fanfare either."

Soon, the relevant traces of the battlefield were quickly cleaned up, ensuring that no thods could reproduce the scene during the battle.

Only then did he leave here together with General Assad.

And just a few days after they left, two streaks of Flowing Light rapidly approached here, like sharp blades tearing through the canopy of the sky. It was exactly "Past" and "Future."

Their figures hovered here because what lay ahead was no longer a normal Starry Sky domain.

A surging Void Storm carried a massive amount of spatial fragnts, forming a land of Chaos. This was obviously a "Void ruin" that would only be left behind after a large-scale battle.

"As expected, sothing went wrong..."

"Past's" face was solemn. On their way here, they had tried to contact "Present," but received absolutely no response.

They had initially thought that "Present" was temporarily unable to extricate himself.

But after arriving here, they found that the battle had obviously long since ended. If "Present" had already won, it was impossible for him not to contact them.

"It has been strictly cleaned up; no remaining traces can be found..."

"Future" stretched out his tender little hand, rubbing out a few streaks of Flowing Light at his fingertips, which then dissipated in the Void.

"'Heng's' Strength couldn't possibly be 'Present's' match."

"Past" said in a deep voice: "Contact the Iron-Blood Civilization and ask what happened to General Assad."

"Future" nodded, took out the Smart Terminal he carried with him, and began to contact the Iron-Blood Civilization.

After waiting for about ten minutes, "Future" frowned and said: "General Assad didn't encounter any accidents and has already explained to them the situation that an incident might have occurred here."

"But they told that General Assad is safe and sound, and it is inconvenient to disclose his current specific itinerary."

"Safe and sound..."

"Past's" aged face beca even gloomier. If the plan had proceeded according to their steps.

The Iron-Blood Civilization couldn't possibly give them an "inconvenient to disclose" reply.

So kind of accident must have occurred!

An accident they didn't want to see.

Just as this thought surfaced, the expressions of the two suddenly changed, looking into the distance with shock and uncertainty.

A streak of Flowing Light rapidly approached here, and its speed seed to be a bit faster than theirs.

According to their estimation, the other party seed to have arrived here long ago, just without revealing their figure.

As the other party approached, a heavy chanical Lifeform appeared before them, its entire body covered in pitch-black Armor, giving off an extrely chilling feeling.

"chanical Lord — Catell?"

"Past" recognized the guy in front of him. The other party was a chanical Lord of the Eternal Civilization with an extraordinary reputation.

This place was already close to Civilization Zero, how could they appear here?

The two were inwardly vigilant, staring at Catell.

"Three Kings?" Catell popped an oxygen bubble and looked at the two of them. Relevant information and data had already appeared in his field of vision.

His voice was muffled, transmitting out through layers of Armor.

"It's us."

"Past" nodded, relaxing slightly inwardly. Seeing the other party's attitude, it seed he wasn't here to look for trouble.

"I have sothing to ask you." Catell spoke very unceremoniously: "What happened here 53 hours ago?"

"53 hours ago?"

"Past's" expression flickered. Wasn't that exactly when the plan started?

He pondered for a mont and asked in return: "Can you tell us why you are here? And what is the purpose of asking this question?"

Catell remained silent. His chanical Body couldn't show any emotional reaction.

"Past" continued: "It is highly likely we ca here for the sa matter. Since you want to know so information, you must be a bit more frank."

Although the Eternal Civilization was far stronger than the "Three Kings" Civilization, hard Strength was only useful during a frontal war.

What happened here was obviously very important to the other party as well, and since this place wasn't far from Civilization Zero, it wasn't good for him to be too high-profile either...

Catell's chanical pupils lit up slightly, saying: "We are hunting down an enemy of the Eternal Civilization. The Ultimate Intelligence locked onto him not long ago, and the target is right here."

"Your enemy?"

"Past's" expression sank. Soone who could be regarded as an enemy by the Eternal Civilization was obviously not simple.

More and more evidence proved that sothing really had happened to "Present."

"We were also carrying out a plan to hunt down an enemy here, but an accident occurred..."

"Past" then said: "In addition, General Assad of the Iron-Blood Civilization was also present, but the other party intentionally concealed things from us."

"General Assad..." Catell thought for a mont and said: "Synchronize the relevant data of your plan to ."

"Your Excellency speaks too much as a matter of course, doesn't he?"

"Future" said with so dissatisfaction.

"It's fine..."

"Past" shook his head, and instead proactively synchronized the information and data over.

These materials were definitely top secret before the plan started, but now they had no idea what kind of unforeseen event had happened to the plan.

These materials had already turned into a piece of waste paper.

They were extrely clear about their own plan and knew it was impossible for a third party to appear.

Then that enemy of the "Eternal Civilization" was obviously the Eternal King's reinforcent.

Having the Eternal Civilization help investigate the truth was much easier and saved more trouble than them busying themselves.

And just as Catell was reviewing the relevant data, they suddenly received an urgent ssage again—

"The Anti-King Organization launched a surprise attack on the Capital, and the Ternary Fusion Device was snatched!"

...

[Primal Matter Crystal: A substance left behind after the death of a powerful lifeform. It contains three streaks of Source Matter and requires special thods to extract.]

"Primal Matter Crystal..." Li Yu muttered. It was dug out from the [Symbiotic Colonization Armor] again, feeling icy cold in his hand.

In essence, these three streaks of Source Matter had already been devoured by "Present," theoretically forming a whole, which was why it presented this form.

"According to the information obtained during the battle just now, devouring three streaks of Source Matter seems to be a threshold." Li Yu looked at General Assad beside him and asked: "Do you know about this?"

They were inside the body of a Transforr. Besides glancing around, General Assad was still very Simple-minded.

"The Primal Matter Evolution Path?" General Assad nodded: "Source Matter, as the cosmic-level energy that major civilizations ca into contact with first, most Dominator-Tier Beings have also tried to use it for Evolution."

"After devouring three streaks of Source Matter, one will enter the first tamorphosis. The second tamorphosis requires six streaks of Source Matter, and the third tamorphosis requires nine streaks of Source Matter."

"Oh?" Li Yu beca interested. He hadn't obtained this part of the information from the Ultimate Intelligence, so he pressed: "And then?"

"There is no 'then'..." General Assad shook his head and said: "The Primal Matter Evolution Path has been verified to be unable to break through the Evolutionary Barrier. It is a broken Path of Evolution."

"A broken Path of Evolution?" Li Yu frowned slightly. This was sothing he hadn't expected.

"Eighteen streaks of Source Matter, this is already the limit that a Dominator-Tier Being can accommodate. Any more, and they will be assimilated by the Universe." General Assad added:

"But eighteen streaks of Source Matter still cannot break through the Evolutionary Barrier, so it is broken."

Li Yu blanked out for a mont, only then understanding what "accommodate more Source Matter" ant in the [Store Up to Release] status bar.

If eighteen streaks of Source Matter weren't enough, then just add a bit more!

General Assad sighed: "However, the third tamorphosis of the Primal Matter Evolution Path is already the pinnacle among pinnacles. They can be counted on one's fingers throughout the entire history of the Universe, looking down on the Major Civilizations, powerful enough."

"As for breaking through the Evolutionary Barrier, it is also out of reach for Dominator-Tier Beings."

This General Assad looked aloof on the surface, but when he spoke, he chattered endlessly, perhaps also because he wanted to rope in Li Yu.

"However, the path of Devouring Information State Evolution has been quite popular recently. It is said that the High Priest of the Star Spirit Civilization has advanced a bit further."

"As early as five thousand four hundred years ago, he was stronger than a Dominator-Tier Being of the third tamorphosis in the Primal Matter Evolution Path."

Because there was no unified path, it resulted in every Super Lifeform having their own ideas, and every civilization having their own asurent standards, making it quite chaotic.

However, as far as Li Yu was concerned, he had already set his mind on the Path of Evolution through Source Matter, and didn't care much about the rest.

"The Eternal Civilization has probably already set their sights on the Three Kings Civilization. Getting the Ternary Fusion Device will have to wait."

"First extract the Source Matter from this thing."

"However, I originally planned to use 'Present's' corpse to charge the [Equipnt Upgrade Scroll], but now it's gone..."

Li Yu pondered for a mont and frowned again; he suddenly rembered a troubleso matter.

Although he possessed the Supre Forge, which could extract Source Matter.

But without the acceleration of the Jade Void Palace now, it would take at least decades to extract it.

To him, this was sowhat long.

Moreover, even if the Ternary Fusion Device could accelerate the fusion of Source Matter, exactly how much it could accelerate was an unknown.

Ti was a troubleso problem.

Thinking of this, he cast his gaze towards General Assad and smiled: "General Assad, may I ask if the Iron-Blood Civilization has anything that can extract Source Matter?"

"We do." General Assad nodded, not particularly surprised by this question.

"Present" wasn't the first Source Matter evolved entity to die. He also knew about that Crystal thing.

"About how long would it take to extract?" Li Yu weighed the Primal Matter Crystal and asked.

"Three streaks of Source Matter, it would probably take about one hundred and fifty years." General Assad estimated.

"That long? Don't you have any ti acceleration equipnt?" Li Yu was sowhat surprised.

"Long?" General Assad instead looked at him strangely: "Is this little bit of ti considered long?"

"The ti I estimated is already under the influence of ti acceleration."

Li Yu: "..."

Under the influence of ti acceleration, it still required this much ti.

Looking at it this way, the extraction speed of the Supre Forge was at least two to three tis that of the Iron-Blood Civilization.

The Titan Civilization really had so good stuff.

As for the Temporal Indifference, it would be difficult for Li Yu to change this mindset In a short while.

After all, his lifespan was right there; he was not even a hundred years old yet. How could this make him indifferent to over a hundred years of ti?

If General Assad knew Li Yu's age, who knows how shocked he would be.

And just as Li Yu was trying hard to convince himself that this little bit of ti really wasn't much.

His Smart Terminal suddenly received a ssage. What was surprising was that the sender of the ssage was the Eternal King—

"Your Excellency Dragon Lord, regarding so unpleasant things that happened during the plan, I sincerely apologize to you..."

"For this reason, I specially fetched the Ternary Fusion Device, so you won't have to waste ti in the Three Kings Civilization."

"However, I also have a small request. I would like to ask you to capture 'Past' and 'Future'. With your Strength, it shouldn't be too difficult."

Chapter 836: Variant Body?

After reading this ssage, Li Yu restrained his smile and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Although the Eternal King's tone seed very polite, he was actually threatening him.

Exchanging the Ternary Fusion Device for two Super Lifeforms.

No matter how one looked at it, the two were not comparable.

However, this depended on their respective needs. Li Yu placed great importance on the Ternary Fusion Device.

After all, he could accept a ti span of several hundred years, but he really couldn't accept taking thousands or tens of thousands of years to devour Source Matter.

Moreover, enhancing Strength was naturally sothing that needed to be done as quickly as possible.

It was just that the Eternal King had just seen his Strength.

Yet he still took the risk to threaten him. Then the importance of "Past" and "Future" must be extraordinary to him.

Making him rather take such a huge risk to obtain the two of them.

However, the Eternal King probably didn't know that his position had long been firmly locked on by Li Yu.

"The Ternary Fusion Device... you actually saved so effort, it's just right to take care of it together." Thinking of this, Li Yu couldn't help but laugh again.

The Ternary Fusion Device being acquired by the Eternal King was originally intended to threaten him, but it also indirectly helped Li Yu save ti.

He just didn't want to approach the Three Kings Civilization in the short term anyway.

He could imagine that the Eternal Civilization must be staring intently at the Three Kings Civilization right now.

Returning to the Three Kings Civilization now would easily make him Fall into a Trap.

And his brief change in expression was naturally seen by General Assad, which made the other party unable to help asking: "What's wrong?"

"Just a minor matter." Li Yu shook his head, casually replied with a "No problem", closed the page, and then directly locked onto the Eternal King's position and changed direction to head there.

The Eternal King's current location was already far from the Three Kings Civilization, and he was constantly moving, seemingly preparing to head sowhere.

Both of them were moving at high speed, so it was also impossible for Li Yu to intercept the other party in a short ti.

And just like that, without the Eternal King's knowledge, Li Yu's pursuit continued for nearly three months.

...

In the empty Star Sector, the stars twinkled. There was almost nothing here, making it no different from the vast majority of places in the Universe.

Suddenly, accompanied by Spatial Fluctuations, a streamlined silver Spaceship Warped here.

At the sa ti, traces of spatial ripples gradually erged in this seemingly empty Star Sector, rippling like water waves.

Then, a massive planet gradually surfaced here, possessing a thick atmosphere.

The obviously specially adjusted atmosphere presented an extrely clean bright blue.

More than half of this obviously transford planet was covered by patches of lush green vegetation.

Mountains, rivers, plains, hills; various terrains and landforms were dotted with this color of life.

The silver Spaceship headed in a familiar direction with ease.

This was a building complex hidden amidst a large dense jungle.

The building complex was generally circular, and the interior consisted of so massive, functional architectural complexes that didn't look very suitable for living.

The facilities were already covered with vines and mossy plants, making it look like an ancient ruin abandoned for hundreds of years.

Moreover, traces of its high Technology could be seen everywhere in the complex, with a large number of giant machines still slowly operating at key points of the buildings.

The lighting and ventilation systems were also functioning normally, and around the building complex was a large circle of magnificent walls over ten ters high.

The texture of the walls seed to be interstellar alloy, indicating that this abandoned facility was once sothing like a closed Research Base.

And around this circular wall, there were also traces of dismantled devices. It seed there was once a lid-like thing covering the space above the facility, but it had already been dismantled now.

The Blast Door opened, and the Eternal King walked out with a solemn expression, followed closely by subordinates carrying a massive tal Box.

They quickly walked into this facility, going all the way to the deepest part.

After the Eternal King ordered his subordinates to store the tal Box in the secret Warehouse, he hurried towards an even deeper area.

That was a place only he himself could enter.

After inputting various password verifications, the top-tier vault purchased from the Eternal Civilization slowly opened, and dense radiance leaked out from the crack.

The Armor on the Eternal King's body fell off, revealing a long-withered body, like the Earth that hadn't experienced rain nourishnt for hundreds of years, with cracks spreading all over the skin's surface.

Without any blood flowing out, the dark skin cracks seed to herald that the Interior of his body was just as withered as the surface.

He had almost reached the point where his oil was exhausted and his lamp was dying. His Aura fluctuated unsteadily, as if he could croak at any mont.

After the door made of special tal opened, he hurriedly walked in.

The entire space appeared extrely empty. There was only one object inside the vault, floating in the center, constantly emitting dense radiance, and the surrounding space-ti seed sowhat distorted.

The Eternal King walked up, and the external features of that object also gradually beca clear. It actually looked seventy percent similar to him, with its surface also covered in cracks, but filled with light inside.

The Eternal King placed his palm on it, and streams of Energy surged into his body like sweet spring water, allowing his body to begin a slow self-repair.

But at the sa ti, bulging pustules also gradually surfaced one by one.

Only at this ti did his expression gradually relax, looking at this Corporeal Form with a complex expression.

The Variant Body, their Blueprint. A lifeform that wanted to forcefully break through the Evolutionary Barrier but failed, yet weirdly wasn't assimilated by the Universe.

"Although 'Present' is dead, there's still 'Past' and 'Future'. As long as I can adjust the genetic defects, it's not impossible to completely fuse with his body."

The Eternal King muttered to himself. Thinking of this, his expression suddenly beca sowhat angry again: "It's a pity that 'Present' died. He was the most perfect Clone Body, Dragon Sovereign..."

Thinking of this na, he took a deep breath.

Although threatening the Dragon Sovereign was extrely risky, it could directly accomplish his goal.

With "Present" dead, the other two guys must be highly nervous and wouldn't give him a chance to steal a chicken.

But the Dragon Sovereign possessed tyrannical Strength, so taking down the two of them shouldn't be a problem.

"There will definitely be another round of scheming when handing them over. I need to plan carefully..." He muttered in a low voice:

"This Dragon Sovereign, and so many chanical Lifeforms, exactly where did they pop out from?"

Another few days passed before the injuries on his body were finally completely repaired.

Walking out of the vault, he called for a subordinate and asked: "Is there still no movent from the Three Kings Civilization?"

"My Lord, no. It's still calm and tranquil." The subordinate reported back.

This made the Eternal King sowhat puzzled. With the other two present, the news of "Present's" disappearance definitely wouldn't leak.

But it's been so long, has the Dragon Sovereign not made a move yet?

Once "Future" and "Past" also disappear, the Three Kings Civilization would be Leaderless Dragons, and there would definitely be huge chaos.

Since they can still maintain stability now, it ans the Dragon Sovereign hasn't made a move yet.

"What is he doing?" The Eternal King pondered secretly, considering whether to urge the other party.

Before he could even take out his terminal device...

Boom!

A loud bang.

The entire planet suddenly began to shake, as if the earth was trembling and the mountains swaying.

"What happened?"

The Eternal King subconsciously blanked out, and heard his subordinate hurriedly report: "There are enemies!"

"How could enemies find this place!?" The Eternal King's expression was gloomy. He inexplicably had a bad premonition.

His perception instantly spread out. In a split second, a large number of Information State Anomaly Bodies were perceived by him, surrounding them in all directions, and their Auras were very familiar.

It was exactly the Dragon Sovereign and those chanical Lifeforms!

This made his expression change abruptly, his mind in chaos!

How could they appear here!!

The coordinates of this planet were only known to himself. Under normal circumstances, contact with the outside world was strictly prohibited, so it was impossible to leak out.

Could it be because of himself!?

But he had already checked carefully when he returned. It was impossible to have any tracking thods.

Nine lifeforms of the sa level, he couldn't possibly be their match no matter what!

The Eternal King's face instantly turned ashen, realizing he had already walked into a Jedi.

He suddenly turned his head to look at the vault, seemingly having an idea, but the next second his face beca defeated again.

Failed evolution couldn't obliterate that Corporeal Form, so it was impossible for him to destroy it either.

Rumble!

The entire planet was torn apart from the middle. Magma spewed out like the yolk of a hot spring egg, and the firelight spat out by so scattered defensive facilities dotted this battlefield.

"How did you know he was here?"

In the Void, General Assad stood beside Li Yu, looking at the planet that had been "dragged" out before him, and asked with a puzzled expression.

"Just guessed..." Li Yu naturally wouldn't explain, looking at the Eternal King who had abruptly appeared before his eyes.

"Your Excellency Dragon Lord, this is a complete..." The Eternal King seed to want to say sothing more, but unfortunately, Li Yu didn't want to listen, directly ordering the Primal Transforrs: "Take him down."

In an instant, an Energy Eruption occurred, and the Primal Transforrs charged forward together.

The aftereffects of the Eternal King's Burst Technique hadn't completely dissipated yet. Facing this kind of scene before his eyes, he could only be passively beaten.

Bang bang bang!

From beginning to end, the battle was just a beating, and it ended after lasting for a while.

The Eternal King's resistance was futile, completely unable to escape. He was captured after a violent beating, without any unexpected incidents occurring.

He was strictly controlled by various sealing thods, covered in bruises, and brought before Li Yu.

At the sa ti, the remaining Primal Transforrs also found two tal Boxes, one large and one small, from the surrounding ruins.

"The symbol of the Eternal Civilization, this is a vault..." General Assad recognized it at a glance, pointing at the vault and saying.

"Oh?" Li Yu reached out to pull it over. This thing was forged from special tals and was extrely sturdy.

However, wanting to defend against a Super Lifeform was rely A fool's dream.

The Eternal King purchased this vault only to prevent his subordinates from betraying him or accidentally touching it; it was impossible to block him.

Using the Titan Giant Axe, he easily split open this vault.

Subsequently, the "Variant Body" emitting a resplendent light appeared in front of everyone.

"This thing is... the Variant Body?" Li Yu stared at this Corporeal Form and guessed.

He couldn't see any clues and could only feel that this Corporeal Form was very unusual.

But General Assad stood stunned in place, exclaiming in shock:

"What the Three Kings Civilization discovered back then wasn't Genetic Fragnts, it was a true Failed Evolution Body!?"

"Failed Evolution Body?" Li Yu was sowhat dazed. What kind of title was this?

General Assad hesitated for a mont, but still spoke:

"This is a lifeform that failed to break through the Evolutionary Barrier. Under normal circumstances, it should have been assimilated by the Universe, but for so reason, it wasn't."

If Li Yu wanted to investigate this information, it wouldn't take much effort, so there was no need to hide it.

"We all thought that the Three Kings Civilization only discovered so Genetic Fragnts back then to clone the Three Kings, because theoretically, it's impossible for this kind of Failed Evolution Body to remain."

"He didn't fail..." The Eternal King suddenly said coldly: "He half-succeeded, it's just a pity he didn't endure through it."

"Half-succeeded... no wonder..." General Assad stared fixedly at the Variant Body: "The reference value is too high."

"Does it have Source Matter inside? It seems not..." Li Yu carefully approached and touched this Corporeal Form, but nothing unusual happened.

But he didn't feel the Aura of Source Matter inside either. He tried to put it into the [Symbiotic Colonization Armor], but that didn't work either.

He tried so other thods and found that this Corporeal Form was like an incomparably sturdy stone; nothing could destroy it.

The corners of General Assad's eyes twitched slightly. Seeing the Dragon Sovereign chopping the Variant Body with an axe made him feel completely Speechless.

"He cannot be destroyed, otherwise you wouldn't be able to get him either." The Eternal King shook his head, and then smiled miserably:

"Only us Clone Bodies can utilize our genetic connection to Absorb so power."

He and the Three Kings had been secretly entangled over this Corporeal Form for so many years, yet they were intercepted by this guy who popped out of nowhere.

"So basically, it's of no use to ?" Li Yu muttered.

"It's useful to us..." General Assad's eyes lit up slightly, and he hurriedly said: "We are willing to pay a certain price..."

"Fuck, what the hell did you do!?"

General Assad shouted in shock halfway through speaking.

Because the Corporeal Form in front of him seed to be affected by unknown factors, unexpectedly starting to dissipate, gradually vanishing like Flowing Light.

The place where it started was exactly where Li Yu's palm was placed.

The Eternal King was also dumbfounded. He had been studying the Variant Body for more than just a day or two, and nothing like this had ever happened.

How could it be different the mont it fell into the other party's hands?

And Li Yu's expression was sowhat strange.

[Cosmic Origin detected. Charge [Equipnt Upgrade Scroll]?...]

[Charging...]

[Charging... Warning... Anomaly detected... Continuing to charge will cause unknown changes to the [Equipnt Upgrade Scroll]. Continue?]

Chapter 837: Mutated Equipnt Upgrade Scroll

This Failed Evolution Body seed quite formidable, but Li Yu didn't have a massive faction in this Universe, and the corresponding research equipnt couldn't keep up either.

According to the Eternal King's words, this thing was actually of no use to him.

So he just gave it a try, to see if he could let the [Equipnt Upgrade Scroll] devour it.

After all, this thing sounded very high-end and grand; using it to charge definitely wouldn't be a problem.

Yet he didn't expect that such an unexpected change would actually occur.

An unknown mutation occurred?

Li Yu pondered secretly, not knowing whether this mutation was ultimately good or bad.

However, since this thing was a Corporeal Form left behind after failing to break through the Evolutionary Barrier.

Then its essence was definitely much stronger than the effect of an ordinary Super Lifeform.

It should be a mutation in a good direction.

He didn't think for too long and chose to continue charging.

And General Assad on the side looked at this scene helplessly, his face full of anxiety.

The "Clone Bodies" of the Three Kings Civilization had indeed attracted the attention of many civilizations for a period of ti.

After all, Clone Bodies evolving into lifeforms at the pinnacle of the Universe was still the first case.

It was just that according to the information they detected back then.

The Three Kings Civilization had only found a section of Genetic Fragnts of a Failed Evolution Body back then, which was how they cloned the "Three Kings."

Getting no benefits from them, the Major Civilizations only remained curious for a while and then gave up.

Yet no one expected that what the other party had found was actually a true Failed Evolution Body.

The research value of this Corporeal Form was extrely high. Perhaps the path forward for continued Evolution could be found from it.

So General Assad was highly covetous of this, wanting to obtain this thing from Li Yu's hands.

But the current situation was obviously not sothing where he could do whatever he wanted.

With the Super Primal King Kongs around him Covetously Staring, General Assad could only say tactfully: "Your Excellency Dragon Lord, the research value of this Corporeal Form is extrely high. Perhaps clues for continued Evolution could be found from it."

"If you destroy it directly, it would truly be too much of a Waste of Valuable Resources."

He didn't know what Li Yu was doing, but he could also deduce that he should be conducting so kind of experint.

No one could resist fiddling with this Corporeal Form.

But looking at the speed at which this Corporeal Form was dissipating, if he continued to fiddle with it, he was afraid there really would be nothing left.

"No, this is not the path forward for lifeforms, but a disaster for the Universe!" Li Yu's expression was solemn as he looked at General Assad and said:

"It's not just us present who know of this Corporeal Form's existence; the Three Kings also know."

"If the news of this Corporeal Form is leaked out, guess what will happen?"

General Assad was taken aback. The growth of individual Strength in the Universe today had already stagnated, and everyone was seeking horizontal developnt.

The appearance of this Corporeal Form was tantamount to a depth charge that would instantly detonate the already highly tense Universal situation.

Because the top-tier civilizations, such as the Eternal Civilization, were Powerless Against each other, the Universal situation hadn't completely lost its balance.

But in order to snatch this Corporeal Form, and also to avoid being surpassed by their enemies, those top-tier civilizations would probably start wars without hesitation, giving no civilization the chance to research it.

Therefore, once this news was leaked, what would follow imdiately would be incomparably tragic wars.

A war that would Engulf the Cosmos. Its tragic extent made even General Assad unable to help but slightly change his expression. The Iron-Blood Civilization wouldn't be able to withstand it either when the ti ca.

It would even cause a chain reaction, leading into an endless war.

"Do you understand now? This is not a Good Thing." Li Yu's expression was solemn: "So in order to avoid this kind of thing from happening, and for the peace and stability of the Universe, I have decided to destroy him with my own hands."

Fucking hell, that sounds like it makes a lot of sense.

General Assad's expression was strange, looking as if he Hesitated to Speak.

Although Li Yu's words were alarmist, it wasn't as if there were no ways to avoid all this.

As long as they acted a bit faster and silenced all those who knew.

Then the news of this Corporeal Form wouldn't be leaked out.

So this rhetoric was pure bullshit.

"More importantly, I am also thinking of Your Excellency's life." Li Yu then let out another long sigh.

General Assad didn't react imdiately, but then his expression changed drastically. He pursed his lips tightly and stopped speaking.

He suddenly understood. Since this Corporeal Form was so valuable, why share it with the Iron-Blood Civilization?

If he wasn't prepared to let the Iron-Blood Civilization know this news, then General Assad certainly couldn't live on.

Neither of Li Yu's two reasons had sufficient motivation to truly explain his current behavior.

However, for the sake of his own little life, General Assad decided it was better to stop speaking for now.

"It's just right that you also act as a witness for , to prevent soone from trying to make Fall into a Trap in the future." Li Yu changed the subject and said.

His obtaining this thing wasn't a bad thing, but there were at least two other people who knew of its existence.

In case those two guys threw this matter out, wouldn't he beco the Public Enemy of the Universe?

It just so happened that Assad was here. Openly and aboveboard witnessing this Corporeal Form dissipate into the Starry Sky, if soone tried to fra him in the future, he would also have soone to bear witness.

General Assad nodded silently.

He stared fixedly at this Corporeal Form, hoping to discover from so details that Li Yu was just using other ans to utilize this Corporeal Form, rather than destroying it.

Unfortunately, he didn't find any relevant clues.

This Corporeal Form had already dissipated mostly. Not to ntion how much Energy was within its body, anyway, blowing up everyone present shouldn't be a problem.

It was just that, in this silent dissipation, it was unknown where the terrifying Energy contained within went.

General Assad initially suspected that it was secretly absorbed by Li Yu.

But the other party's Aura didn't have any fluctuations, which didn't match this guess.

And the Eternal King on the side almost didn't believe a single word of what Li Yu had just said.

What maintaining Universal peace, what avoiding trouble, they were definitely all excuses.

But he also found it difficult to explain everything happening before his eyes.

With the mass of this Corporeal Form, it was simply impossible to put it into any Compressed Space.

The Energy within it was even like the hardest stone.

Except for Clone Bodies like them who could barely utilize a bit of it, it was simply impossible for others to trigger it.

"You are simply Wasting Valuable Resources..." The Eternal King only had this one sentence to say.

Although he didn't know exactly what thod Li Yu was using to utilize this Corporeal Form.

But he also understood that after today, this Corporeal Form would definitely dissipate into the Universe, which made him feel it was a pity.

He also clearly understood that this thing was a Hot potato. No matter whose hands it fell into, they would face endless wars.

Although he had been entangled with the Three Kings for so many years, using 'Variant Body' as a code na, he also maintained a Tacit Understanding to prevent this secret from leaking out.

But recently, he didn't know what kind of bloody bad luck he had to encounter this guy, resulting in so many years of painstaking effort going up in flas.

"This small tal Box, it should contain the Ternary Fusion Device, right? Was this independently researched and developed by you?"

Li Yu looked at the special device the Primal Transforrs took out from the tal Box.

Three transparent, pale golden spheres were each pulled by a connecting wire, simultaneously revolving around a central prismatic crystal pillar.

"When we discovered the Variant Body, we also discovered a lot of leftover Technology. The Ternary Fusion Device is one of them."

The Eternal King's tone was indifferent as he said: "The usage conditions of the Ternary Fusion Device are harsh. It can only be activated by three 'Three Kings-level' lifeforms with identical genetic characteristics."

At the end, he added: "You cannot use it."

"I already told you last ti, you don't need to worry about this problem." Li Yu shrugged his shoulders and tossed this thing into the inlay slot of the [Symbiotic Colonization Armor].

[Ternary Fusion Device: A Source Matter fusion device forged based on incomplete blueprints.

Source Matter Fusion: By providing Energy, it can accelerate the fusion of Source Matter.]

Afterward, the Primal Transforrs also found so information and data here.

Facing his own failure, the Eternal King actually went from initial disbelief to gradual acceptance.

In the final analysis, he still didn't have enough Strength to keep this secret.

He could only carefully hide it away. Once discovered, this current outco was inevitable.

According to what he said, and combined with the information here, Li Yu roughly understood the specific situation.

The "Variant Body" was initially discovered on this planet. Of course, the original location of this planet was not here.

The other party ca from an extrely powerful civilization, but it was not any known civilization.

According to the records in the leftover data, the civilization where the "Variant Body" resided had been completely annihilated.

The main reason was not due to external forces, but because his failure to break through the Evolutionary Barrier caused a chain reaction, leading to a severe weakening of the civilization's Strength, eventually causing its gradual annihilation.

This planet, bearing his Corporeal Form, drifted for a very, very long distance and ti, until the last batch of people on it also died.

"...Using the Genes of the other Clone Bodies to adjust yourself, and then devouring this Corporeal Form... you were planning to act as a Cuckoo in the Nest."

Li Yu now also understood why the Eternal King asked him to capture "Past" and "Future." What a whimsical idea indeed.

The Eternal King shook his head, complex emotions flashing in his eyes. He himself didn't know if he could achieve it.

However, the innate desire of a lifeform for Evolution made him strive for this for countless years.

There wasn't much of value here. After a slight sweep, the cleanup was finished.

At the sa ti, the "Variant Body" also completely disappeared within Li Yu's palm, leaving not a single trace behind, causing General Assad's gaze to beco sowhat despondent.

He kept feeling as if the Path of Evolution had already presented itself before him, yet it slowly disappeared.

Simultaneously, the System popped up a notification—

[Devour completed. [Equipnt Upgrade Scroll] mutation completed — [Mutated Equipnt Upgrade Scroll]]

[[Mutated Equipnt Upgrade Scroll]: Due to devouring a portion of power that transcends the Cosmic Origin, it has therefore obtained so special abilities.

Super Upgrade: The upgrade option is no longer choose one out of three, but choose three out of five, while also selecting one for an additional mutation.]

Li Yu's two eyes lit up like stars.

Choose one out of three turned into choose three out of five!?

Damn... this is too aweso.

After all, the gold content of choosing three out of five was just too high.

It was just that this "additional mutation" made him sowhat Bewildered, not knowing what kind of mutation it would produce.

But wouldn't he know once he used it?

Since the upgrade was already completed, Li Yu didn't have any hesitation and directly chose to use it. The upgrade target was naturally the [Symbiotic Colonization Armor].

The [Symbiotic Colonization Armor] had accompanied him for a very long ti, and its effect was also extrely strong, able to bypass the usage restrictions of many items.

However, because his needs varied, he now frequently had to pry the inlaid items out and then reinstall them.

Although it rely wasted a bit of ti, if there could be a few more inlay slots, he definitely wouldn't mind.

[[Mutated Equipnt Upgrade Scroll] in use, target confird: [Symbiotic Colonization Armor]...]

[Detected that [Symbiotic Colonization Armor] has already undergone an upgrade...]

When he saw this passage of text, Li Yu's heart really tightened, deeply afraid that a notification of being unable to continue upgrading would pop up next.

Fortunately, the following notification made him sigh in relief.

[Secondary upgrade adaptation in progress. Adaptation completed. Please confirm the upgrade options...]

[[Inlay Slots x2]: The number of inlay slots on the equipnt is multiplied by 2]

[[Function Enhancent]: The functions of inlaid items receive adaptive Amplification and enhancent]

[[Stacking Effect]: Inlaying multiple identical items will produce even more powerful functions.]

[[Man and Artifact as One]: The connection between the equipnt and the Host Body will be even tighter. The Host can temporarily grant a certain ability to the equipnt]

[[Set Effect]: Whenever 2, 4, or 6 items are inlaid into the inlay slots, corresponding traits will be unlocked.]

These five abilities made Li Yu's eyes blur; it could be said that every single one was very powerful.

Fortunately, he could choose three, otherwise Li Yu believed it would be hard for him to recover for a long ti.

[Inlay Slots x2] was definitely going to be chosen. After all, this was the fundantal ability of the [Symbiotic Colonization Armor]. With more slots, it would also be more powerful.

[Man and Artifact as One] was also a very powerful function.

The biggest flaw of the Eternal Machine God was its inability to use Li Yu's own abilities.

For example, Amplification abilities like [Sanguine Fight], [Form Liberation], and [Law of Heaven and Earth].

After obtaining [Man and Artifact as One], casually granting a certain ability temporarily would be enough to let the Eternal Machine God's Strength obtain a substantial enhancent once again.

The remaining choice was nothing more than tangling between [Function Enhancent], [Stacking Effect], and [Set Effect].

These three all enhanced the inlaid items, just with different focuses.

[Stacking Effect] was passed over first; he basically wouldn't inlay identical items.

[Function Enhancent] was very balanced, while [Set Effect] was sowhat interesting.

These two should be about the sa, but [Set Effect] had sowhat of an unknown nature, so it was quite attractive.

Chapter 838: Super Fusion!

As Li Yu finished making his selections, the [Symbiotic Colonization Armor] before his eyes emitted a burst of resplendent light.

Ring after ring of special Energy shrouded it, while simultaneously dissipating indescribable invisible fluctuations.

At the sa ti, the System popped up a notification again—

[Please select the upgrade option for the additional mutation...]

Li Yu pondered for a mont. The most direct one for combat power Amplification was definitely [Man and Artifact as One], so he simply chose to perform the additional mutation on it.

Boom!

A burst of Crimson Glow shone on the [Symbiotic Colonization Armor], and then it began to undergo an even deeper tamorphosis.

[[Man and Artifact as One] undergoing additional mutation...]

[Mutation completed — [Man and Artifact as One - Super Fusion]]

[[Man and Artifact as One - Super Fusion]: You have broken the boundary between human and item, fusing into one with the equipnt, making no distinction between you and it.

You will share everything!]

After reading the specific description, Li Yu couldn't help but pause, and then subconsciously clenched his fists.

Making no distinction between you and it—these words were simply too direct!

This ant that his abilities could also be used by the [Symbiotic Colonization Armor]. Wouldn't the Eternal Machine God be explosively strong then!?

However, this would probably also be a trendous test for the Tree of Life.

This ti he truly obtained a substantial enhancent, not wasting the consumption of a Failed Evolution Body.

"How should we deal with him?"

General Assad looked at the Armor on Li Yu's body continuously emitting bursts of Crimson Glow and golden light, not knowing what had happened either.

But looking at the other party's wide, grinning mouth, he also knew this guy was in a good mood, so he asked.

The Eternal King's expression was calm. Since he had no ability to resist, he would welco the ending he deserved.

"He is a Super Lifeform after all..." Li Yu pondered. He originally intended to feed the Eternal King to the Upgrade Scroll.

But now it definitely wouldn't be needed anymore.

Wanting to subdue the other party was also sowhat unrealistic, and it was impossible for him to trust the other party.

"Send him on his way, let's not waste ti." Li Yu still decided to End it All, to avoid him stirring up any Unexpected Trouble later.

The Eternal King let out a long sigh, his expression like an Ancient Well Without Ripples. The Dragon Sovereign had severed his inner desires and reduced his long-prepared plans to ashes.

It was already impossible for things to ease between them, and it was even more impossible for him to submit to the other party.

The Super Primal King Kong handled things very efficiently. It didn't take long for him to carry out humane destruction on him, and then secretly let Li Yu feed him to the Tree of Life.

This thing was already very close to its adult form.

"Alright, my business is done, we can return to the Iron-Blood Civilization with you." Li Yu looked at General Assad.

At the sa ti, because of the substantial enhancent to the [Symbiotic Colonization Armor], he also had more confidence facing the Iron-Blood Civilization and wasn't afraid of the other party acting disadvantageously towards him.

Moreover, he also needed a relatively safe place to extract Source Matter, undergo Source Matter Fusion, and devour Source Matter. At the sa ti, he needed to use the connection device to open up the Barren Universe Zone, as well as prepare for other matters.

Hearing this, General Assad also sighed in relief. He was truly afraid that Li Yu would send him on his way too.

After discussing it, the crowd changed direction and began heading towards the Iron-Blood Civilization.

...

On the other side, within the Three Kings Civilization Territory, chanical Lord Cartel was reporting to the Ultimate Intelligence.

"The matter has been mostly investigated. The Anti-King Organization borrowed the target's power to set up an ambush against 'Present'..."

"We are currently searching for the whereabouts of the Anti-King Organization, it's just that there haven't been any results temporarily."

Floating in front of him was a milky-white ball of light the size of a baby's head, from which a cold voice transmitted out: "No need to waste ti there, he definitely won't appear in the Three Kings Civilization in the short term."

"However, I have already collected the required data and am utilizing a Probability Storm to conduct calculations. Currently, it has already converged into a range of over thirty thousand probabilities. In half a year at most, I will be able to lock onto his approximate location."

"Understood..." Cartel nodded, and at the sa ti hesitated: "Ultimate Intelligence, I discovered so bizarre clues within the Three Kings Civilization Territory."

"The Three Kings are hiding sothing. I haven't found any relevant information or intelligence regarding the 'Variant Body' they speak of to this day."

Slight data ripples undulated on the surface of the milky-white ball of light: "Ignore them for now. The first batch of Exploration Teams has already penetrated deep into 'The Ruins'."

"Civilization Zero is staring at us, so it's not suitable to make any big moves recently. Next is to lock onto the target's position, then carry out hunting and killing to recover the [Eternal Core]."

"Yes!" Cartel nodded. Although the Three Kings Civilization acted mysteriously, which civilization didn't have so secrets?

...

Star Glory Empire, inside a certain secret fortress. The Blast Doors in the tal Corridor opened one after another. Loyd, with a solemn expression, walked briskly towards the deepest Research Lab.

Inside the spatially expanded Research Lab, several massive pieces of tal wreckage were suspended, quietly hovering in midair amidst the heavy darkness.

The outer Armor was intact, without any signs of being disassembled. They were placed there exactly as they were.

Two massive sections of warship wreckage, akin to mountains, floated silently, exactly the sa as when they were first discovered.

"What are the results? What exactly is this thing?" Loyd asked Loren, who was standing in the center, his expression sowhat anxious.

"The wreckage of a Shuttle Spaceship..." Loren slightly lowered his head, speaking while pondering: "We have never discovered this kind of structure before, so it took the researchers so ti to identify its structure."

"It possesses an exceptionally powerful Shield System and Armor layer. Moreover, there are evenly distributed Information State effect generators on the Armor layer."

"This can ensure that it wraps itself in an Information State for a short period of ti, thereby achieving an unimaginable defensive strength."

"According to the researchers' speculations, they should be carriers used to shuttle through so kind of extrely dangerous region."

"Extrely dangerous region?"

Loyd's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch, as if he vaguely thought of sothing.

"What kind of extrely dangerous place?"

Exactly what kind of environnt could be considered extrely dangerous?

And it was "extrely dangerous" spoken from the mouth of the Empire's highest research departnt.

While posing this question to Loren, Loyd was also thinking rapidly.

Spatial Rifts?

Void Storms?

Dinsional worlds?

No, none of these places are considered extrely dangerous...

To Ordinary civilizations, these dangers ant death upon contact, but for the Empire's research departnt, they shouldn't be described as extrely dangerous either.

"The Barren Universe Zone..." Loren's gaze was deep as he spat out a few words.

The Barren Universe Zone!?

The impact of this news was truly enormous. Loyd's expression changed drastically, unable to help but exclaim in shock:

"Navigating inside the Barren Universe Zone? This thing was navigating inside the Barren Universe Zone!?"

"That's the only possibility left..."

Loren operated the Mirror of Omniscience, dividing the scanned image of the wreckage on the screen into several areas and continuously enlarging them, until the details in these areas were revealed in their entirety.

"And what's even stranger is that it has too many chanical structures that are unnecessary for a Spaceship. That kind of chanical structure, I've only seen it on the Transformation Legion."

Speaking up to this point, Loren paused and said: "I'm just saying they are similar; they should both be chanical Lifeforms."

"Moreover, the material they use is not Transforrs Alloy. It possesses extrely high resistance to ordinary Energy, and even has an Information State reaction."

"What do you an?" Loyd didn't quite understand.

"It ans that if he is a chanical Lifeform, then... he should be at the level of a Super Lifeform."

"How is that possible! As far as I know, no civilization has the ability to forge materials that can match the level of a Super Lifeform..." Speaking up to this point, Loyd's expression suddenly beca incomparably pale as he muttered:

"Are they from... the Outside Civilizations?"

Loren nodded: "Yes, there is a massive possibility they are from the Outside Civilizations. The good news is, at least this chanical Lifeform didn't successfully cross over. The bad news is, we don't know how many of them there are..."

anwhile, Loyd was still digesting this shocking news. This news ca too suddenly, and he had no preparation whatsoever.

"Is there still no information regarding the Dragon Sovereign?" Loren suddenly asked.

Loyd was taken aback. He slightly organized his emotions before answering: "No, I contact the Dragon Sovereign every month, but there hasn't been any response up till now."

"Perhaps... he failed his Evolution..."

Speaking up to this point, Loyd's mood inexplicably lowered even further as he said: "After all, a Super Lifeform is an insurmountable threshold."

"Not necessarily. I have a premonition that he might succeed." Loren shook his head and said: "Contact him at a faster frequency. Additionally, try starting with the people around him. Dealing with guests from the outside, relying solely on us is far from enough."

"Those subordinates of his are already rarely active in interstellar space, as if they received orders long ago to start lying low." After hesitating for a mont, Loyd asked:

"Should we integrate the forces of other civilizations?"

"There's no need to pay attention to them..." Loren denied it, his tone cold: "Facing a civilization that equally surpasses them, do you think they would choose us, or the Outside Civilizations?"

"Whoever is stronger, they will choose whoever."

Loyd understood, and a strong sense of urgency instantly surged in his heart.

The war of civilizations brooked no delay. They didn't know the specific situation of the Outside Civilizations, but they had to make the worst preparations.

...

In the Holivias Palace, the three Supre Councilors were secretly entertaining a mysterious visitor.

As for the things the other party narrated, it took the three Councilors a long ti to completely digest them.

Their gazes trembled, and their arms resting on the Table even quivered slightly.

And sitting opposite them was a chanical Lifeform with almost only half its body left. The chanical structure on the other party's body always reminded them of the Transformation Legion.

"...Collect these materials, build a Hyperspace Passage, and when the Eternal Civilization descends here, you will obtain the highest glory and undergo chanical Ascension together."

chanical Lord Oleg sent over a material list. He had been in this Interstellar region for a while and already had a basic understanding of it.

The three Councilors exchanged a glance, silently accepted the materials, glanced over them roughly, and simultaneously connected to the intelligent managent system.

However, the natural search results from the Database afterward made them sowhat surprised.

"These materials actually have an 83% overlap rate with the materials previously collected by The Forerunners?"

A Councilor said in astonishnt.

"The Forerunners?" Oleg's chanical pupils emitted a Crimson Glow.

The Councilors didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly synchronized the relevant information and data over.

"The Forerunners... should be people from Civilization Zero, they failed to collect them... Dragon Sovereign Li Yu... Star Glory Empire..."

Oleg rapidly scanned the data, his gaze only lingering on the na Dragon Sovereign for a mont.

It was only when he learned of the Weapon the other party used that a majestic Aura suddenly surged from his incomplete chanical body.

"It's him!"

Titan Giant Axe!

This Dragon Sovereign was exactly the target they were hunting down!

"Synchronize all the information about the Other-Dinsional Camp to !" he said unquestioningly.

"Uh..." The three Councilors were dumbfounded. Sweating profusely, they said in a low voice: "Your Excellency chanical Lord, we don't have any information about the Other-Dinsional Camp either."

"Aren't you a second-tier civilization in this Interstellar region?" Oleg asked in confusion.

"Yes, but the Other-Dinsional Camp is not an ordinary faction. It's the kind of very mysterious... so mysterious it couldn't be any more mysterious faction, do you understand?"

Oleg was sowhat Speechless, also understanding that this group of people didn't know much.

"Forget it, let's collect the materials first..." he ordered.

It was just that the three Councilors still had so hesitation: "We have no problem with most of these materials, but there are so relatively rare materials. If we rashly collect them, we are afraid it will arouse the suspicion of the Star Glory Empire."

These materials were previously collected by The Forerunners. If they suddenly started collecting them too, the Star Glory Empire would definitely know sothing was wrong.

"In case they suspect us of colluding with The Forerunners, then the Dragon Sovereign and the Other-Dinsional Camp will very likely target us as well."

Hearing this, Oleg couldn't help but say coldly: "What are you afraid of? How many chanical Lords can the Star Glory Empire have?"

"In front of the Eternal Civilization, they are not worth ntioning. That Other-Dinsional Camp will inevitably be liquidated by us; they can only run rampant in this ruins of yours."

"As for the Dragon Sovereign, he might have already been captured by now."

The three Councilors listened in bewildernt, not knowing exactly what the other party was talking about.

However, there was one thing they did understand: the sky in the Interstellar region was about to change soon.

Once the Outside Civilizations entered here, they would instantly sweep across everything.

The powerful Star Glory Empire would collapse in an instant, and even the Other-Dinsional Camp and the Dragon Sovereign would amount to nothing.

It was better to quickly cling to this thick thigh in front of them. When the ti ca, they could sit calmly on the fishing platform and perhaps even retaliate for the previous grievances of being oppressed.

Although collecting these materials carried so risks, as long as they withstood the pressure from the Star Glory Empire, the problem shouldn't be big.

After secretly communicating for a mont, the three Councilors gritted their teeth and said: "Your Excellency Lord, we understand. We hope you will rember Holivias's helping hand."

"Rest assured, once you achieve chanical Ascension, you will be just like ." Oleg made a promise. This wasn't a Con; the Eternal Civilization had absorbed too many civilizations similar to Holivias.

Chapter 839: War, I Want War!

"I have already notified the Head of State. The High Echelon will have a secret eting with you; only so Dominator-Tier Beings are qualified to know."

General Assad put down his Communicator and told Li Yu the eting plan he had discussed with the High Echelon.

Li Yu nodded. He had witnessed the entire exchange between General Assad and the High Echelon just now.

It was relatively standard. Both sides would first exchange intelligence, and then further discuss the details of cooperation.

anwhile, he was primarily researching the newly upgraded [Symbiotic Colonization Armor].

The [Set Effect] was a rather peculiar ability.

When 2, 4, and 6 items were inlaid, the traits unlocked respectively were [Increase Revenue, Reduce Outgoings], [Legendary Quality], and [Hundred Percent Enhancent].

[Increase Revenue, Reduce Outgoings], as the na suggested, was to reduce consud Energy and improve efficiency.

[Legendary Quality] was to enhance a specific inlaid item within a short period, making it even more powerful in all aspects.

As for [Hundred Percent Enhancent], it was much more formidable. It could comprehensively, indiscriminately, and substantially enhance the abilities of inlaid items.

Like the Supre Forge, it originally took ten years to extract Source Matter, but now it would only take five years, or perhaps even shorter.

Overall, it could be sumd up in one word—aweso!

And after a journey of several months, they finally arrived at their Destination.

The core of the Iron-Blood Civilization was a ga-giant planet.

The Surface was covered with crisscrossing chanical buildings. Giant architectural structures could be seen everywhere, filled with the aesthetic beauty of an industrial style.

At the sa ti, there was also a large number of giant satellites guarding this planet, forming an intertwined planetary network.

At this mont, a massive Wormhole rift surfaced beside a satellite, and a small-scale Transformation Legion flew out of it. It was exactly Li Yu and his entourage.

An honor guard had already been waiting here. The surroundings had been cleared, and various isolation facilities had been set up to prevent anyone from trespassing.

The leader was a guy wearing a gray top hat. His surface skin was gray-black, with two pairs of eyes arranged opposite each other. He didn't have nostrils, but instead had gill-like respirators growing on both sides of his cheeks.

He stood ramrod straight. After seeing Li Yu and his entourage disembark from the Spaceship, his expression beca even more solemn as he stepped forward quickly and said:

"Hello, Your Excellency Dragon Lord, the Iron-Blood Civilization welcos your arrival."

This was considered a secret eting, so they didn't deploy too large of a welcoming honor guard.

"He is the Head of State's private secretary. To so extent, he represents the Head of State himself," General Assad explained in a low voice, deeply afraid that Li Yu would think the Iron-Blood Civilization wasn't paying enough attention.

Even an ordinary Dominator-level Lifeform, if arriving at the Iron-Blood Civilization with good intentions, the Iron-Blood Civilization would deploy a very grand welcoming standard.

For lifeforms standing at the pinnacle of cosmic Evolution, as long as they harbored good intentions, no matter which civilization, they would be very welco.

"Hello..." Li Yu nodded and extended his hand.

The other party was obviously taken aback but quickly reacted, extending both of his hands to grasp Li Yu's hand.

While paying attention to the changes in Li Yu's expression, after a mont, he released his hands.

The etiquette of every civilization was different, and of course, General Assad hadn't specially inquired about such trivial matters.

However, this private secretary, Charles, was obviously an expert at observing words and expressions.

"You may address as Charles. Your Excellency the Head of State is already waiting for you, please follow ." Charles stepped aside, gesturing for Li Yu to board their Spaceship.

Then he added: "General Assad, the Dominators are waiting for you. They have so matters they need to ask you about."

General Assad nodded. It was nothing more than matters regarding his experiences during this period, as well as a private assessnt report on Li Yu.

He waved goodbye to Li Yu, and the two separated, heading in different directions.

Following the other party deeper into this giant planet, many Spaceships could be seen along the way. Most of them were sharply contoured and highly aggressive.

They soon arrived in front of a giant Palace. The silver-white tal walls were incredibly smooth and bright, with almost no superfluous decorations.

Under the morning light, a solemn Aura assailed the senses.

The guards along the way had long been notified. They turned a blind eye to them, without conducting any obstruction or inspection.

Under Charles's lead, Li Yu arrived at the deepest part. This was the Reception Room of the Iron-Blood Civilization's Head of State.

The room door slowly opened, and under Charles's gesture, Li Yu walked straight in.

This was a slightly empty room, similarly devoid of any decorations.

Not far in front of him stood a figure with his back to him.

As the room door closed, the scenery within the room also changed. Stars twinkled, and they seed to have arrived In the starry sky.

It seed to be a holographic projection, yet it also seed sowhat different.

"Dragon Sovereign, hello. I am the Head of State of the Iron-Blood Civilization—Drogheda."

He turned around. His external features were similar to other Ironblood Tribesn; at least Li Yu couldn't tell the difference.

He extended his hand towards Li Yu. Seeing this, Li Yu couldn't help but smile and also extended his hand.

Handshake completed.

Drogheda got straight to the point and said: "According to Assad, you ca from that ruins left behind by the Titan Civilization?"

"That's right." Li Yu nodded.

"We are very curious about those ruins, but we don't care too much either." He said slowly:

"During this period, the Eternal Civilization and Civilization Zero have been secretly plotting sothing."

"Through our unremitting efforts, we finally found so clues."

"They are sending people to explore those ruins, seemingly wanting to excavate so things."

Li Yu listened quietly as the other party narrated.

Your Excellency the Head of State's expression was calm: "Civilization Zero won that battle back then, but they didn't obtain any of the spoils of war they deserved, and instead suffered heavy losses."

"Those ruins should hold many valuable things buried within."

Li Yu couldn't quite figure out this Head of State's intentions for the ti being, so he could only follow the other party's words and continue: "That's right, there are indeed quite a few valuable things inside."

"However, a portion of them is with , and the other portion, I can't find either."

Drogheda nodded; this point didn't exceed their expectations.

With the Strength this Dragon Sovereign had displayed, he had definitely rummaged through the things in the ruins inside and out.

He didn't believe the Eternal Civilization and Civilization Zero couldn't think of this.

However, both still maintained extrely high enthusiasm for exploring those ruins.

Civilization Zero was easier to explain. Recently, it was they who defeated the Titan Civilization, so retrieving their own spoils of war could be considered a motive.

But the Eternal Civilization's recent movents, why were they even more frequent than Civilization Zero's?

rely a war survivor could hardly explain this doubt.

"According to our intelligence, chanical Lord Cartel appeared in the Three Kings Civilization not long ago, just shortly after you made a move."

"The Eternal Civilization seems to be very concerned about your whereabouts."

Drogheda's tone carried an inquiry.

"Your Excellency the Head of State..." Li Yu didn't directly answer this question, but instead asked: "Let's not beat around the bush and directly tell your purpose."

Drogheda pondered for a mont before saying: "It's been over five thousand years since a new civilization was discovered. I an a valuable civilization, not those civilizations that haven't even walked out of their planet."

"The existing civilizations in this Universe, the ones that could be touched have already been completely carved up. The remaining ones are all hard bones; chewing them down will cost a certain price."

"But because the major civilizations restrain each other, no one dares to act rashly."

"We need an opportunity."

"An opportunity?"

Li Yu keenly perceived the battle intent hidden in Your Excellency the Head of State's words.

In the Titan Civilization Ruins, superficial peace had been maintained for a very long ti. Everyone developed through trade and ti, and had all grown accustod to it.

But this form of developnt definitely couldn't compare to warti plundering.

And this Your Excellency the Head of State was even more direct, openly wanting to initiate a war, just lacking a good opportunity.

Otherwise, it would be easy to be jointly targeted.

Having been in this Universe for a while, Li Yu could also sense that the atmosphere in this Universe was extrely tense.

Civilization Zero's internal and external troubles were very severe, and the Eternal Civilization still initiated wars of conquest from ti to ti.

And now, the Iron-Blood Civilization was even undisguisedly revealing its desire for war.

Drogheda continued: "Civilization Zero has internal and external troubles. Their High Echelon has consistently failed to find a solution. However, their foundation is profound; they are the only civilization on record to have defeated a civilization of the sa level."

"No one is willing to Lead the Charge."

"Your target is Civilization Zero?" Li Yu's eyes moved slightly.

"That's right. We only need an opportunity, and we will jointly divide it with Tacit Understanding." Drogheda's eyes were blazing:

"I believe the opportunity lies precisely in the Titan Civilization Ruins."

Everyone knew that Civilization Zero had internal and external troubles, but A Starved Cal is Larger Than a Horse, so no one was willing to Lead the Charge.

"I want to provoke a war between the Eternal Civilization and Civilization Zero. The Eternal Civilization's developnt speed is too fast; they need to be curbed." Drogheda's tone gradually beca excited:

"Let them attract so firepower in the early stages, and then we will launch a war against Civilization Zero. The Star Spirits will definitely follow closely behind."

"This great war will sweep across the Universe. While we carve up Civilization Zero, we can also take the opportunity to chew down so hard bones."

Li Yu looked at the Warmonger in front of him. He truly hadn't expected the Iron-Blood Civilization's plan to actually be like this.

Although the Eternal Civilization and the others stood high and mighty, civilizations like the Three Kings Civilization, which possessed more than one Super Lifeform, were also extrely troubleso.

Although they could defeat the other party, they couldn't guarantee that they themselves would be the biggest beneficiaries of the war.

Then such a war would be aningless to them.

"However, the conflicts between them are all very restrained. It will be very troubleso to trigger a war, so we need a sufficiently important point of conflict."

Drogheda restrained his emotions, brought the topic back, and said: "I want to ask you, is there any inducing factor of sufficient weight in those ruins?"

There is... and he's standing right in front of you.

Li Yu cursed silently, always feeling that this sentence was describing himself.

If he fell into the hands of Civilization Zero, the Eternal Civilization would definitely snatch him back at all costs to prevent the [Eternal Core] from leaking out.

Vice versa.

"Hmm... it's hard to say. There are so things in the Titan Civilization that I still haven't been able to excavate even now." Li Yu spoke ambiguously.

"Then do you have a way to return to those ruins now?" Drogheda asked again.

"No." Li Yu directly denied it.

Drogheda's expression flickered, and he suddenly smiled: "This is not a simple plan, there's no rush. You can rest here with us for a while. It won't be too late to proceed after we gather more intelligence and information."

Li Yu ant the sa. He was actually quite interested in the Iron-Blood Civilization's plan; getting rid of Civilization Zero would also an one less trouble for him.

It was just that everyone had just t and there wasn't much trust to speak of, so there were so things he couldn't easily say.

The two chatted for a while longer before Your Excellency the Head of State had his private secretary see Li Yu out.

After watching the two leave, Drogheda was expressionless. He waved his hand, and the scene in this room rapidly changed.

A long conference table appeared out of thin air. General Assad and the others had already been discussing for a long ti.

"...Why didn't you ntion such a crucial matter earlier!?" One of them seed very emotional, pointing at General Assad and saying.

"I had to have the chance! I barely survived, let alone report any news. There were several tis I felt he was going to kill ," General Assad said grumpily.

"What's wrong?" Drogheda frowned slightly and asked.

"Head of State..." The crowd spoke up one after another to show respect, while the person who was just accusing General Assad said: "They previously discovered a Failed Evolution Body..."

"What!?" Drogheda was sowhat astonished: "A Failed Evolution Body? It can still exist?"

"To be accurate, it half-succeeded in evolution..." General Assad added: "Additionally, that Corporeal Form has already been destroyed by the Dragon Sovereign."

"Destroyed?" Drogheda frowned deeply.

"Are you sure? He didn't pull any little tricks right under your nose?" Soone pressed.

"I'm sure. I still have this bit of eyesight; that Corporeal Form definitely dissipated," General Assad said with certainty.

"Big trouble... you're truly an idiot!" The guy from just now cursed angrily again.

"Barossa, don't think I'm afraid of you!" General Assad also said sowhat angrily.

Barossa scolded: "Calling you an idiot and you still won't admit it! You say it's destroyed and it's destroyed? Do you think others will believe it?"

"Now that he has entered the Iron-Blood Civilization, in the eyes of others, it ans he has handed that Corporeal Form over to us!"

General Assad also showed no weakness, saying: "The Iron-Blood Civilization can't run away, it's right here. Could I have stopped him?"
