Chapter 883: Chapter 456: Actions of the Holy Revolution Army_2

"Azure Dragon?" The voice on the other side of the intelligent terminal hesitated, "But there is a conjecture in the interstellar that suggests Azure Dragon might be someone from the Empire."

"He can be confirmed, he is not from the Empire." Florian shook his head, almost certain, "Alright, no need to say more, it’s decided, it’s him."

Clyde was startled, then thoughtful. He didn’t think he could change such a person’s mind; this envoy probably intended to recruit Azure Dragon from the beginning.

"However, recruiting him requires bargaining chips..." The dark eyes of Florian pondered something unknown, only speaking after a moment,

"Activate Night Shadow, at all costs, we must obtain detailed information on extracting the Blood of the World from the Federation Advanced Science Academy."

"Activate Night Shadow?" The other was stunned, as this code name was almost one of the highest-level personnel lurking within the Revolutionary Army, never used before.

Clyde was bewildered; since recently, he couldn’t hear anything.

"Just execute." Florian did not explain further, "Additionally, issue a silent command to reduce actions as much as possible!"

"Yes!" The other replied with difficulty in his tone.

Clyde was bewildered, very clearly, it was an internal exchange within the Holy Revolution Army.

Even if he didn’t hear the last part, the previous words were enough to be called secrets, involving contacts between many major figures.

It was just spoken to him.

Florian put away the intelligent terminal, looked at Clyde again, smiling, "After hearing so many secrets, you need to come with me now."

"I..." Clyde’s expression changed, knowing the other did it on purpose, but in the end, he could only force a bitter smile, "Can I ask why?"

The other’s status within the Holy Revolution Army must be high, far beyond just being an envoy.

Florian shook his head; his dark pupils were chilling, "Not now."

......

"Since he learned this news, even if not for this matter, he will use it for other things." Adam’s expression was calm, looking at Costate on the screen who was showing embarrassment.

"You can’t be blamed for this; who knew he could descend into the Realm of Eternity at any time; delaying a year doesn’t matter much."

Costate seemed helpless, "But other civilizations already know, and we have a major clue in finding the Silent Star of Eternity; Azure Dragon’s concealment makes them more curious, costing them great effort to inquire."

"This is something unavoidable." Adam maintained a calm mindset; the matter of the Silent Star of Eternity was known by Azure Dragon, and he was helpless too.

But he couldn’t anticipate everything, there would always be slip-ups.

The most important thing now is that the High-level Life Form Union has been established. As for when to divide the Mechanic Association, the Empire doesn’t really care.

Overall, this matter is still acceptable.

"It can already be confirmed; Azure Dragon is Talos!" Costate said in a deep voice, "Should I tell this news to Chronos?"

"No..." Adam shook his head, "Don’t rush, the fusion of the Blood of the World has ended, and as soon as a strong information characteristic appears next time, we can lock onto him."

"Is it still necessary to lock on?" Costate was puzzled, "It’s obviously him."

Adam explained, "The lock is not for us to see, but for Chronos; he only trusts his Blood of the World, not our words."

"Once Chronos confirms we’ve indeed found Talos, he will have no choice but to cooperate with us."

Costate initially looked dazed, then bewildered again.

Adam was still not preparing to take action against Azure Dragon, only using this matter to threaten Chronos.

He even suspected that the Holy Emperor had reached some deal with Azure Dragon; seeing Azure Dragon’s threat getting bigger and still unwilling to act.

"You..." Costate hesitated, cautiously reminded, "Azure Dragon is not to be underestimated..."

Adam naturally knew what Costate was thinking, just smiled, "His interests do not conflict with ours."

He had no intention to explain further and said indifferently, "Since things at the Silent Star of Eternity are temporarily stalemated, you might as well come back first, the Holy Spirit Civilization Ruins are right in front of us, and it’s just the right opportunity for the Blood of the World to contact Azure Dragon."

"Got it." Costate nodded.

......

Three days later, Li Ming received communication from Reynolds; upon answering, the virtual screen popped up, pushing aside the 3D model in front of him--

"Sorry, Azure Dragon, the Star Alliance isn’t interested in selling the data on extracting the Blood of the World."

Reynolds expressed slight regret, "I inquired with several high-level officials, all refused. I didn’t tell them it’s for you, so it shouldn’t be targeted."

"Alright, I understand, sorry for the trouble." Li Ming nodded.

"You’re welcome." Reynolds left a final word before ending the communication.

"Tsk... Is this kind of data watched so closely?" Li Ming muttered; yesterday, Mikhail also sent him a message saying the Federation likewise refused to sell.

Although on the surface, everyone is dividing the Mechanic Association, both of their networks are still extensive.

On the surface, they fight when needed, but secretly they drink together, not a problem.

If neither of them can get it, it’s probably tough to acquire through regular channels.

"Shouldn’t there be, any other applications for this thing?" Li Ming pondered.

Suddenly, he recalled that the Titans used the Blood of the World to enhance themselves, and the Three Civilizations probably knew this information as well.

Perhaps they believe the Blood of the World might be tied to the evolution path of Ultimate Life Forms.

"Then it’s troubling..." Li Ming frowned deeply, resorting to force would be a last resort.

Moreover, it was not easy to accomplish; at least understanding where these documents are stored, the security equipped, and massive preparatory work needed personnel.

And his Mechanical Body was obviously not suitable to complete such a task.

Once action is taken, it must be a hit-and-run without exposing his identity, immensely difficult.

"Better think of other methods..." He shook his head, temporarily shelved this matter, and brought up the previous virtual model again.

Like a conical continent with irregular-shaped edges, the outsides were some collapsed massive buildings, some areas clearer with scattered metal structures and hollow buildings.

Other areas were a haze, especially a large central region, completely shrouded in mist.

This was the model of the Holy Spirit Civilization Ruins that Reynolds and Mikhail visited more than once, collecting ample data.

This civilization ruins were accidentally discovered 6000 years ago by the Hammer Divine Craftsman, located in the "Storm Zone" due to the storm’s influence, only accessible once every four to six hundred years.

The Hammer Divine Craftsman entered around ten times, maybe already explored the core area.

Until later, the Hammer Divine Craftsman shared the coordinates with them.

Mikhail originally said, "...Leftover junkyard from Hammer..."

This naturally displeased Reynolds, claiming that the Hammer Divine Craftsman once said there really wasn’t anything good on it, only as a technical reference.

"...Extremely potent magnetic energy fields cover it, heavily interfering with mechanical body performance..." Li Ming recalled the relevant information told by the two divine craftsmen.

The Holy Spirit Civilization was inherently a powerful civilization of Mechanical Bodies, making such a stance seem strange.

But Reynolds informed him, besides these magnetic energy fields, there existed spatiotemporal dimensional ultra-high-specification blocks, more intensely suppressing life forms.

It supposed to be remnants of its core defense, thereby evidencing that Hammer hadn’t completely explored the area nor found the source of this force field’s coverage.

Reynolds and Mikhail went five times, indeed acquiring numerous valuable items, greatly inspiring them.

Mikhail sneaked around about it, only Reynolds leaking a tidbit--

"...Previously, found a damaged Giant God Weapon, extremely intricate, almost repaired it; it’s estimated to have around 300X Energy Level combat power..."
