This is really not mechanical ascension

Chapter 784: Chapter 407: Leisure Time Always Flies By

"This blood seed seems to be no different from the blood seeds elsewhere." Li Ming looked closely, even reaching out to touch it, and noticed no change in the control information.

"It’s just a pure blood seed." Li Ming pondered, "So, are the blood seeds Levinbeck mentioned here just a way to ensure I come over and then pique my curiosity?"

After confirming Levinbeck’s interest in him, although it saved a lot of effort, his alertness also increased significantly.

Unsure of what Levinbeck was up to, Li Ming simply took a few photos and had someone keep watch here.

After leaving, he returned, his eyes flickering as he drove Feder and Robbin away, their gaze bewildered.

With only the mechanical body left around, he placed his palm on the blood seed and released five million units of metal energy to control it.

It didn’t end there; as metal energy continued to pour in, this egg-like blood seed began to undergo a peculiar transformation, the surface rippling like undulating waves.

Immediately after, as if molded and shaped by an invisible hand, it revealed a human-like outline.

The light of the blood seed gradually turned into a flickering arc, protruding on the surface, with scarlet blood threads coagulating to form limbs, stretching out slowly, the head gradually becoming prominent, while the scarlet eyes bore a sense of confusion and the unknown.

At first, it was just curled up, but then it gradually stood up, limbs outstretched, its form slender and as tall as two meters.

The skin appeared to be a viscous blood-red color, facial features were regular, overall similar to humans, with no sexual characteristics.

"Master..." it knelt on the ground, with a look of devotion.

"Do you remember how you were created?" Li Ming inquired, the blood seed looked confused, merely shaking its head.

This entity was shaped by alchemy technology, belonging to a kind of biological technology, with no solidified storage chip, and should resemble a neural network.

Without consciousness, it couldn’t store anything happening externally.

Li Ming didn’t mind and asked if it could revert to its original state, getting a positive reply, he then commanded it to shrink back into an egg.

The control and enlightenment together consumed a total of ten million units of metal energy, which was considered normal.

But he didn’t know what Levinbeck was planning, so doing this was the safest bet.

Returning to the Flowing Shadow hidden in the orbit of the low-level area, Li Ming aggressively confronted Levinbeck, throwing the developed photos in his face, and said sternly:

"What is this thing? Did you place it there?"

"Hmm..." Levinbeck glanced over the photos, nonchalantly remarked: "Your actions are really slow."

"Answer my question!" Li Ming’s face was grim, yet he also seemed to exhibit a hint of "all words and no action," feeling rather embarrassed.

He secretly praised himself; his acting skills were improving rapidly.

"Do you want to know what this thing does?" Levinbeck casually picked up a photo, caressing it in his hand, his voice shifting from low to high due to the compression of his abdomen:

"Then take me to the site, and I’ll tell you what it’s for."

"Take you to the site." Li Ming snorted coldly, "Wishful thinking, don’t assume you can lead me by the nose, I’ve already sent the photos to my teacher."

"Divine Craftsman..." Levinbeck’s eyes flickered, "Even your teacher, can he recognize it based solely on a photo?"

"I guess your teacher wouldn’t bother descending here, right? It’s just an insignificant planet; there might be some people you know on it."

"But are those people important to your teacher?"

Levinbeck’s tone was calm; Li Ming seemed pierced, his expression grim for a moment, but then he calmed down, coldly said: "Honestly, just stay here!"

Beep--

The metal cell door was closed again, Levinbeck was somewhat surprised, he didn’t take the bait.

It seems this Li Ming is somewhat smart, possibly still holding onto hope for Azure Dragon.

Thinking of Azure Dragon, Levinbeck grew pensive, If Azure Dragon really is the Hammer Divine Craftsman, maybe he can indeed uncover something about the blood seed.

He had once proactively shown his research to the Hammer Divine Craftsman, hoping the latter would answer some questions.

But the Hammer Divine Craftsman sternly rebuked him, claiming he was going down the wrong path, and shouldn’t use other life forms to facilitate his own evolution.

Ridiculous to the extreme, those low-level life forms, as insignificant as ants, sacrificing their lives for the exalted path of evolution, die a deserved death.

Levinbeck snorted silently.

However, this is not bad news for him; he can also verify whether the other person is really Hammer.

If not Hammer, Azure Dragon couldn’t possibly discern anything from just a photo.

Li Ming will take the bait sooner or later, anyway, it’s a win-win situation.

"But, the timing can’t be too long, I still don’t want to give up on Ryan." He frowned, Li Ming as an enticing bait was right in front of him, irresistibly tempting, a rare opportunity.

However, Ryan is also very important; it’s about whether the alchemy materials can evolve into the ultimate life form, who knows what’s happening.

Extracting consciousness from this unique body is simple, but descending again would be troublesome, requiring quite some time, and during this period, body functions would be stagnant, and flaws would be too apparent.

Unlike a mechanical carrier, which can achieve instant extraction and descent via mimicry neural signals, his kind of alchemy carrier is free from signal interference but not so easy to descend.

First wait for the situation to develop, if delayed too long, some concessions must be made.

His eyes flickered, gaze falling again on the mechanical body standing in the corner, after researching for several days, he found these mechanical bodies quite peculiar.
