Chapter 792: Chapter 411 Night Moon Company

"It’s even later than I estimated," Li Ming contemplated.

When at Silver Grey Star, Levinbeck had already lost consciousness.

In theory, interstellar information transmission has virtually no delay, so if Levinbeck had informed Ryan immediately.

Given the character of Prince Ryan, even if he had some doubts about Levinbeck’s identity, it shouldn’t have taken this long to contact Sol.

"Unless Levinbeck didn’t inform Prince Ryan via remote communication but went there in person," he surmised privately.

"Well, according to my estimation, if Prince Ryan learned about the exposure of the Northern Crown Star Ring matters early on and was kept in the dark, it’s likely he’d come directly to kill. However, this should not align with Levinbeck’s interests."

From traces earlier, Li Ming roughly knew that Levinbeck collected life energy from the entire Northern Crown Star Ring through the Blood Seed, presumably to enhance Prince Ryan’s evolution.

"Coming directly, he might not even find me. Levinbeck was greatly intimidated by Azure Dragon before. Even if he wants to take action, he needs to have some confidence and a comprehensive plan."

Li Ming worked out a general outline, and the general line of thought should be correct, and these speculations have another important supporting point.

Neither Levinbeck nor Prince Ryan likely regarded the delay as significant, considering their life span.

What’s a few months? What major changes could there be?

"For me, this is good news; another half a month has been dragged," Li Ming pondered, "but I don’t know what they will do next..."

Their subsequent plan is no longer something that can be inferred.

Seeing Li Ming in contemplation, Sol was uneasy; Azure Dragon had only appeared once at the very beginning.

Later, all contacts were with Li Ming, the student.

However, he dared not underestimate him; at this moment, he was sweating profusely, anxiously explaining: "Lord Li Ming, this... this... I don’t know what’s going on either, that Alchemy Baron clearly died in the attack."

"Who knew he would return to Ryan’s side."

Sol cursed inwardly, having concealed truths both up and down, thinking things were going well, only for this matter to surface suddenly.

"Please, you must explain to Lord Azure Dragon for me; I’ve already done my best, that Alchemy Baron... he... " Sol’s face displayed clear fear.

If exposed, not only would it mean Prince Ryan would hunt him, but he would also lose his value on Azure Dragon’s side.

Li Ming rarely saw such a cowardly S-Class life form; past enemies, even if they were terrified of being killed, had to maintain a facade.

He shook his head indifferently: "I understand; this matter is not your fault. I will explain clearly to my teacher."

"That’s good, that’s good," Sol’s expression relaxed, cautiously asking: "And what about the virus in my body..."

Sol’s throat moved, fear in his eyes almost tangible.

His development progress first showed decline ten days ago, which terrified him, not knowing what happened and panicking to the extreme.

Only when Li Ming came to explain did he learn that Azure Dragon had injected a certain virus into his body to prevent disobedience.

This virus would continuously degrade his development progress, even causing a drop in his life level, eventually leading to genetic conflict resulting in mutation.

Inconceivable, he had never heard of such a thing—development progress decay—utterly terrifying.

Years, even a decade of hard work to advance 1%, only to regress within two months.

Regression phenomenon could invoke awe in every life form from deep within.

This raised his awe for Azure Dragon to another level, eradicating any sneaky thoughts, and he diligently continued working.

"I will convey your request to my teacher," Li Ming smiled reassuringly, turning away under Sol’s anxious gaze.

"I need to obtain the Genetic Seed quickly and eliminate any variables," stepping out, Li Ming’s face grew serious.

Uncertainty over Ryan and Levinbeck’s next move left him somewhat uneasy.

The Sea of Stars was Ryan’s territory, acting with more liberty and audacity, and the whole situation might not be over yet.

His entire plan was nearing the final phase; he wanted to avoid any mistakes.

The last variable lay with Shepherd; if the information on the Swallowing Star Prison Dragon Genetic Seed’s preparation leaked from there, Ryan would have a target.

Moreover, though the possibility of Shepherd backstabbing was low, it wasn’t non-existent.

Fortunately, the fact that Swallowing Star Prison Dragon was Ryan’s pet was known to very few, and Shepherd wouldn’t actively disclose it, nor connect it to the entire complex affair.

...

Over twenty days later, in the Sea of Stars, the hand of the Creator Divine Craftsman’s vessel retracted from the head of an Imperial soldier.

The surrounding space was filled with wrecked warship debris, sporadically sparking, with drifting body fragments covered in a layer of frost and swollen.

Following the soldier’s memories, he found the transport ship wreckage and opened the transport box to find the scarlet egg-shaped object.

"Blood Seed!" The facial features of the Creator Divine Craftsman’s vessel fluctuated, thoughts erratically: "It’s actually this thing; Levinbeck really made it, living up to his name."

He recognized it, having once secretly viewed Levinbeck’s design plans, which included the Blood Seed—it was just a blueprint back then, not expecting it would now be successfully made.
