"I can confirm that Asimara has made a breakthrough in secret. Have you heard any news on your side?"

Feder shook his head, "Nothing for now."

Prince Bai Jiang nodded, then looked at the screen with an inscrutable expression, "The top echelons of the Royal Family have always tried to cover up this news, but unfortunately, Asimara’s ambition exceeds everyone’s imagination."

"She pledged her loyalty with an Ascension Source Crystal and has gained Duke Bloodthorn’s support."

"This time, who knows how many lives will perish at her mere whim."

Feder’s eyes flickered, and he eventually couldn’t hold back, asking the question, "Originally, didn’t the Royal Family consider silencing her permanently?"

Prince Bai Jiang was momentarily stunned, then looked at his youngest son with an expression he had never shown before, quite sentimental, "You have grown up."

Then shook his head, "Why would we need to silence her?"

"The Royal Family..." his eyes flickered, "Since she has the ability, why not let her try?"

"If one day she succeeds, Yitelan would take pride in her, as would you and I."

Feder was lost in thought for a long while before shaking his head in disappointment; his own awareness was still too low.

"But, if that’s the case, if she can do it, why can’t I?"

Perhaps having noticed that Feder had fundamentally changed from before, Prince Bai Jiang hesitated for a moment, closed the door behind him, and finally disclosed more information:

"Asimara has planted a piece in the Torch Organization, the Great Mechanic Des, according to the information he revealed, the Azure Dragon showed even greater strength and means..."

Feder looked astonished, partly because his father had known all this information from the beginning but did not intend to tell him.

And partly because of the shock brought by this news.

Two B-level Mechanical Bodies bursting with power comparable to an A-level Life Form, dominating the fight against A-level Life Forms with nearly 60% developmental progress, and even capable of self-repair.

Adding on the previously mentioned Silver Mechanical Body, the Great Mechanic Azure Dragon commanded three A-level combat forces, which was already a terrifying number in the Silver Star Cluster.

Feder was processing this information when he looked up to find that Prince Bai Jiang had already left.

He was slightly taken aback, then he frowned, opening his smart terminal and looking at the chatbox that had not been responded to for a long time.

"Li Ming, how could he have disappeared..."

This news was very valuable; obviously, the Great Mechanic is a central figure in the Torch Organization’s current plans.

Being turned by Asimara meant that all their actions were within Asimara’s expectations.

He should be able to get extremely valuable information from Li Ming.

"However..." Feder thought again, information previously revealed by Li Ming which exposed the movements and plans of the Azure Dragon, always felt somewhat incorrect.

He didn’t understand the exact relationship between the two.

"Hopefully their relationship is that of a normal mentor and student."

Li Ming had a strong backing, and he hoped that he would cling to it tightly since it would benefit himself as well.

...

The Silver Star Cluster, the Kevet Civilization, was a low-level civilization that spanned just two Star Systems.

Sermohte Star, located on the outer edge of one of these star systems; poor in resources, rarely visited.

With the thirty-six-hour system approaching twenty-nine hours, Ya Ro, carrying a hoe and grinning, returned to his own small earthen house against the sunset.

After closing the doors and windows, he carefully removed a floor tile and took out a smart terminal and a signal amplifier,

After a while, he connected to the Interstellar Network and after a short time exclaimed, "What the hell, the Land of Stars has been destroyed?"

The screen was broadcasting Asimara’s declaration.

In an instant, he was sweating profusely, frantically opening the Black Hole Network, waiting for the connection as his mind was filled with confusion.

Ever since Li Ming told him to leave the Land of Stars and hide somewhere, he had been moving from place to place, eventually arriving at this remote civilization to lay low.

He also knew that his departure was to facilitate Li Ming’s actions.

But he had never expected what happened next to far exceed his expectations.

Li Ming, transformed into the Azure Dragon, started to appear more and more mystical.

What with wearing a Grade A Combat Mecha, defeating Sandro, and joining hands with his subordinate Grade A Combat Mechanisms to capture Tiago.

Heaven only knows how shocked he was when he saw the battle recordings and found his boss’s boss being blasted into the ground by Li Ming.

Others may be oblivious, but he knows: that Azure Dragon is Li Ming!

Especially after seeing those various speculations about the identity of the Azure Dragon on the network, what rose in his heart was not a sense of superiority from being sober while others were drunk, but a bone-chilling cold and incessant unease.

He was genuinely afraid that one day, a powerful man would fall from the sky, snatch him away, and search his memory without a second word.

He didn’t live in such an isolated place originally, even rented a villa in the city, living happily.

But after learning these pieces of information, he quickly moved to a remote forest.

Damn scary, Li Ming’s current actions are utterly irrational, he even doubted if anyone would believe him even if he spoke out.

Glancing at the administration interface again, still no reply, both his teacher Wu Yanqing and Li Ming seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Today, suddenly learning about the annihilation of the Land of Stars, even he realized it.

A terrifying storm has descended, and with his weak physique, not to mention getting close, even just one glance could get him shattered to pieces.

"I just want to live honestly, please don’t find me..." Ya Ro’s throat moved, his forehead beaded with cold sweat.

"I’ve completely severed connections with the Interstellar, that should finally be enough."

Gritting his teeth, with a crack, he snapped his smart terminal in two, sparks flying.

...

Over an hour later, Li Ming had returned to his room.

He couldn’t wait any longer on the road, immediately taking out three of the Grade A Genetic Essences and upgraded all the remaining Evolution Theories.

The Genetic Essence acted upon the Evolution Theory, under an unpredictable force, the control page began to shimmer, and the icons slowly changed.

[Giant Strength Mantis Evolution Theory]→[Giant Strength Mantis Evolution Essence]

[Storm Piercer Evolution Theory]→[Storm Piercer Evolution Essence]

[Flame Mountain Guardian Evolution Theory]→[Flame Mountain Guardian Evolution Essence]

"Awesome!" Watching the icons change to uniform crystal patterns, he felt exhilarated, like a huge weight had been lifted from his heart, like drinking a cold beverage under the blazing sun.

This was a huge gain; he got four pieces of Grade A Genetic Essence, and after using them up, he even had one leftover.

The overall development speed would receive a thirty-fold enhancement, and development progress was certainly about to take a qualitative leap.

After a brief attempt, with seven Grade A Evolution Theories working together.

His cells became more active than ever before, thin threads of Red Arc ran along his skin, his body grew hotter, pulsating with terrifying power.

"Although it’s not as fast as the peak speed during the C Level, it’s not slow either. I estimate that I can’t reach 1% in one day, but it will definitely be more than 1% in two days."

Li Ming continued to develop the Genetic Seed while pondering, "Connet is seriously injured and not yet healed, logically now is a good time to act."

"However, out of nowhere comes Kewis, Dimension Crystals can be put aside for now, they won’t suddenly run out."

"But those three main cannons can’t wait. Once assembled, they will surely go to where they must."

"The scapegoat has been chosen, and the acquisition plan is almost figured out. It’s time to take action."

After achieving the goal with the Genetic Essence, Li Ming immediately focused on the next target. Though it seemed urgent, a plan was already in place.

He opened his smart terminal, pulled up the weapon design software, and there was a metallic gun barrel. He was continuously fine-tuning, making the design resemble one he had seen before.

"In ten days, the remaining two cannons will arrive; within a month, the first Warship will be assembled, and then trials will commence. I can use Pier to delay the trial."

"But once all three main warships are assembled, they will inevitably undergo trials..."

"However, the power that’s been delayed should be enough..."
