This is really not mechanical ascension

Chapter 602: Chapter 316: Enhancement of Root Development Potential and Development Planning

"One billion views!" Ji Ya exclaimed with wide eyes, and Yang Yu quickly leaned in to watch. The video showed a person in a brownish-yellow bear suit.

It looked quite cute, with a comical voice, playing over a fight scene in the background.

"This significant event from the Red River Star Stream, I won’t go into the specifics, as many people have analyzed it."

"Let’s talk about something related to our civilization. There was one most important character who appeared in the core platform area, standing together with a host of significant figures."

The scene cut, and behind the little bear, a large portrait appeared: a somewhat slender young man.

"Li Ming!"

The brown bear shook its head and wiggled its butt, "Some might find this name familiar, while others may have nearly forgotten it. A brief introduction: he is a student from Capital University of Technology, and if he were still studying, he should be a sophomore..."

"His experiences could not be described as anything less than legendary. His father was an ordinary mechanic from Silver Grey Star. Because of a period of foster care, he experienced quite some abuse in his childhood..."

"As a result, he developed a closed-off and isolated personality which led to him being ostracized and bullied during his school years."

"However, the will of the vast universe did not heed his misfortune. His father died in a car accident, and this major blow also caused him to take time off from school..."

"Fortunately, his neighbor, Captain Yang, who was back then a squad leader in the Security and Safety Science of the Silver Grey City Guard Department and now in charge of security and logistics, recruited him into the City Guard, becoming an ordinary field operative..."

The cute brown bear spoke clearly and had looked up various kinds of information.

"It was this move that made Li Ming’s ascent unstoppable. Perhaps it was the death of his father or perhaps the City Guard oath truly inspired him. He underwent a complete transformation: brave, decisive, resolute—these are evaluations given by his colleagues..."

"Having been through life-and-death situations numerous times, always at the frontlines, he even received the City Guard Rookie Badge..."

"He also led the Interstellar Alliance inspection team to survive through tough times amid beast tides..."

Listening, Yang Yu’s eyes glazed over, seemingly returning to that period, the happiest and most joyful time of her life.

"Later, he met the first mentor in his life, Professor Wu Yanqing..."

"He was brought into the University of Science and Technology by Professor Wu and strikingly secured the first place in the assessment. His radiance was not overshadowed but instead shone even more ever onward."

"About a year ago, Sela Royal Academy came with malicious intent to challenge, and almost no one in the same grade could match them. It was Li Ming who emerged, with a younger age and stronger abilities, overwhelmingly defeating the Royal Academy, giving everyone a breath of satisfaction and sparking heated debates within the civilization."

"After that, however, he gradually disappeared from the public eye. According to multiple informed sources, he rejected the olive branch extended by the Yitelan Civilization and left Blue Star in a grand event not known to the public."

"Where exactly he went, nobody knows, and many leaders have lamented over this."

"Until this day!" The cute bear suddenly pounded the table and rose up, shouting hoarsely: "In the grand interstellar battlefield, Li Ming has reappeared."

"And this time, as a student of a Casting Star Mechanic, even Princess Asmara would not dare to take him lightly!"

The sudden sound startled both of them, and they found it somewhat inconceivable. Ji Ya struggled to say, "Even Princess Asmara would not dare to take him lightly?"

The cute bear played a video clip, analyzing the reactions of others during the time Li Ming appeared on the platform from their positions, gazes, and attitudes.

Yang Yu snatched the smart terminal and quickly found the original video link from the comment section.

After watching five videos, Ji Ya covered her mouth, speechless: "He...he...he...he..."

Like many others, Ji Ya could not imagine what a life form that could shatter a planet looked like.

She also couldn’t imagine what a mechanic capable of crafting a planet looked like, only knowing they were far too distant from her.

Yang Yu stood still, her hair covering her cheeks, head down, eyes reddening with worry, joy, and a touch of sorrow...

Had Li Ming grown to such an extent?

The fermenting impact continued, and Luo Chuan in the laboratory laughed heartily with satisfaction.

Meanwhile, Roth and others who were receiving training in the Yitelan Civilization stayed speechless for a long time upon hearing the news, then jubilantly arranged to go out drinking together."

...

In his room aboard the Coyle, Li Ming sat on the bed, watching the same video on the virtual screen in front of him.

He had watched all five videos in full, and twelve hours had passed since the video was posted,

At the end of the video, the scene where he led his people away was now filled with barrages of "Line up, attention!" comments, evoking a strange sense of déjà vu.

He clicked his tongue in amazement, "This guy’s editing skills and copywriting level are pretty good..."

He hadn’t expected someone to record the whole event, thinking that Asmara would have sealed off the central area tightly.

He casually hit the follow button, put away the smart terminal, and stretched out his hand, with the Ascension Source Crystal floating up into his palm.

"According to Huber, it’s not difficult to elevate one’s Root Development Potential through the Ascension Source Crystal..." Li Ming mused.

Even though he couldn’t control the Ascension Source Crystal for now, it didn’t mean he couldn’t use it. Benny was dead, and after returning, he went straight to Huber.

After explaining the stakes, Huber, a legitimate Ascender Remnant, even less mentally resolute than Benny, caved after several threats and revealed the method.
