Chapter 1263: Chapter 646: The Concept of the Trinity_2
Adamâs face froze momentarily, and he said in a deep voice, "You know very well who it is, just as we do."
Li Ming pretended not to hear, suddenly staring at Adam, solemnly asking, "Is the death of the X level life form in the Sea of Stars your act of revenge?"
"No." Adam shook his head, "You should see that neither Malcolm nor I want to start a war, I even suspect itâs you acting, intending to provoke a war between us and the Star Alliance."
Facing Adamâs "accusation," Li Ming remained silent.
Another path was blocked, who is really behind this?
Seeing Li Mingâs silence, Adam had no choice but to change the topic, "My purpose here is simple, you hand over a bit of the flesh you hold, weâll each hand over a bit, and give it to Gutierrez, so he has an explanation."
He compromised, not wanting to continue entangling with Gutierrez, he just wanted to maintain stability until the Ultimate Gene Seed is developed, and then annihilate everything.
"Hm?" Li Ming couldnât help but look up, understanding why Gutierrez was so persistent in targeting the Empire and the Federation.
Itâs about forcefully binding them to demand flesh from him, Gutierrez really had some nifty ideas.
He chuckled, grinning, "What does this have to do with me, if you want to fight, then fight, besides, I wasnât the one who acted."
Adam said in a deep voice, "You think this wonât affect you? Once Gutierrez exposes the matter of the Dominator Flesh, youâll also become the target of all public criticism."
"Blocking the Evolution Path is equivalent to becoming the public enemy of the entire interstellar realm. Our research must naturally be shared with our own. But would you be willing to share your findings?"
"If youâre unwilling to share, the High-level Life Form Union will naturally seek new paths, they can only turn to us if they want to continue evolving."
Li Mingâs eyes flickered, "The Holy Emperor has thought things through very thoroughly."
"However, you should also understand, to me, the High-level Life Form Union is just icing on the cake, not a force I must hold onto."
"I understand, of course." Adam seemed to have anticipated Li Mingâs response with a calm voice, "But a force this large, you surely wouldnât want to easily discard, you only need to give up some Dominator Flesh, which you have plenty of."
"Comparing the two costs, the choice shouldnât be difficult."
Li Ming was pondering, Adam was right, he currently had plenty of Dominator Flesh, even giving some away wasnât really significant.
"Indeed..." Li Ming slowly nodded, Adam wasnât surprised, he had anticipated this before contacting the other, knowing he would agree.
Just as he was about to speak, Li Ming continued.
"But I refuse." Li Mingâs expression remained calm.
Adamâs expression stiffened, he was taken aback, his brow furrowed, this wasnât a losing deal after all.
"Are you worried we might use this to threaten you in the future? You can rest assured if this news is made public, other X level life forms wonât necessarily surrender immediately and might even secretly cause trouble, which is risky for us too."
Li Ming shook his head and said, "Your willingness to compensate Gutierrez is your business, it has nothing to do with me, if thereâs nothing else, I have things to do."
Without waiting for Adam to respond, he promptly ended the communication.
As if joking, at the cost of some flesh, it seemed like a disaster was avoided.
But any of the Three Great Civilizations could expose this information at any time.
Even if Adam claims they could guarantee his safety, who could predict the exact situation?
"However, he did remind me..." Li Ming pondered, "Better to solve this hidden danger first."
Opening the smart terminal, he initiated a joint meeting, allowing ample time, scheduled for three days later.
Responses came one after another, and he quietly murmured, "Adam, how do you know Iâm not willing to release it?"
Three days quickly passed, and half an hour before the meeting began, Vermilion Bird reminded him.
Li Ming exited development mode, tidied himself up a bit, and headed to the conference hall.
The truth about the multiple X level life forms being attacked was still unknown, and it was a focus of concern among the organizationâs members.
His sudden call for a meeting made everyone think there might be some results, and basically, everyone participated.
Anatoli, Anduin, and the other four who were investigating outside also joined via basic projection, and surprisingly, this time Gusta didnât attend.
"Howâs the investigation going?" Li Ming asked first.
"Itâs a bit troublesome..." Anatoli looked a bit resigned, "Weâve investigated the bases of two of the attacked and tried everything, yet we couldnât find even a hint of a clue."
"However, one thing is certain, the battles were extremely short, almost settled in one strike."
Hearing this, everyone couldnât help but straighten their posture.
"Indeed..." Anduin agreed, "The primary reason for this conclusion is because upon our arrival, we could hardly sense any energy fluctuations."
"According to energy dissipation patterns, if it had been a prolonged battle, the residual effects would have lasted for at least a month to half a year."
The atmosphere was silent, the extremely short battle time indicated that the attackerâs strength might be even higher than they imagined.
In the silence, beside Li Ming, at Gustaâs seat, shadows flickered as the vice chairman arrived late, but with a very serious face, he immediately said, "The Evil Ancestor has disappeared too."
"Hmm?" All eyes converged, filled with surprise.
Anatoliâs face changed slightly, "Are you sure?"
"I was at the scene." Gusta looked a bit timid, "It should have happened a few days ago, with almost no energy fluctuations, just like the previous scenes, the Evil Ancestor had no power to resist."
"If I had arrived a few days earlier, I might have encountered him."
"Impossible!" Anduin immediately retorted, "The Evil Ancestorâs strength approaches 1500X, and thatâs based on combat records from ten years ago, and he had no power to resist?"
Li Ming frowned, the Evil Ancestor was a notorious high-level life form in the interstellar realm, primarily engaged in trafficking people and various contraband, inciting numerous massacres, yet not qualified to join the high-level life forms.
Considered one of the most powerful among super criminals, and yet ended up like the previous X level life forms.
"Are you investigating in secret?" Anatoli realized something else.
"Of course, I donât want to continue being suspected, and Iâm also the vice chairman of the organization." Gusta replied.
"Even Tan Ding and Alves wouldnât render him powerless without aid, unless using a Titan Holy Artifact." Anduinâs brows furrowed, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over Azure Dragon.
Among the member seats, a buzzing whisper persisted, the crowd appeared solemn and serious, mixed with a touch of panic.
How could an evolved body of such power suddenly emerge and attack without any pattern?
Anatoli couldnât help but say, "Considering individual power alone, aside from Lord Azure Dragon, is there really an evolved body of this level currently in the interstellar realm, or did they use other means?"
Naturally, no one assumed that Azure Dragon had acted.
Both the battles of the Holy Castle and the Chaotic Star Gap had long since passed, with abundant related information released.
Azure Dragonâs power mainly derived from the "Eternal Silence Star" and "Mechanical Holy Spirit," as well as some explosive means, but the true bodyâs evolution level shouldnât have reached an unfathomable degree.
"Perhaps, there really is." Li Ming suddenly spoke, immediately drawing everyoneâs attention.
"It might be related to what Iâm going to announce to you this time."
Announce?
Everyone sat upright, curiosity arising, wondering what Azure Dragon was about to announce.
Li Ming surveyed the crowd, calmly said, "The path to the Ultimate Evolution Body has been found."
The people present were initially a bit bewildered, seemingly not registering it.
But then, pairs of distinct eyes slightly expanded and then contracted.
They felt as if struck by thunder, the panic spurred by the unknown assailant shattered to pieces, leaving only an indescribable shock.
Evolutionâs path has been found!?
