This is really not mechanical ascension

Chapter 912: Chapter 471: Professional Promotion Device - Ruins Period - Was it the Dominator Trial?

"Won?"

The giant under the stage seemed to have crashed, his massive body slackened. He clearly took a step forward, reaching the front of the arena, laughing with great excitement.

The next moment, he returned to his original position, looking doubtful, "Really won?"

Then he appeared again in front of the arena, laughing repeatedly, "Good, good, good!"

He repeated this several times before stopping, and finally, the giant’s expression was neither doubtful nor excited; he just stared at Li Ming on the stage.

On the stage, the gray mist churned, and everyone present blinked furiously.

But ultimately found that the gray mist was just fading away, leaving them a bit disappointed.

Li Ming won just like that; it really made it hard for them to accept.

Or rather, anyone other than themselves winning would be met with hostility, as it not only represented that the opponent had completely surpassed them to some extent but would also gain something unknown.

Without a sound, Li Ming descended from the stage, and the giant had already approached him, looking down with a bit of uncertainty, "How... did you win?"

Li Ming vaguely sensed that the giant in front of him seemed somewhat different.

"It was sheer luck..." Li Ming explained softly, forcing a smile, "The opponent was too strong, I didn’t expect to win."

Everyone became even more speechless. The giant suddenly squatted down, the wind blowing through Li Ming’s hair, as if he was scrutinizing Li Ming.

The crowd now also noticed that this giant seemed slightly different from before.

"Could it be that Li Ming passed the examination, causing the stuck program to continue running?" Reynolds whispered.

"Forget it, at this point, it doesn’t matter, come with me." The giant suddenly stood up again, turning around.

Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief, glad that the giant didn’t back out, making his efforts worthwhile, as acting was quite taxing mentally.

Seeing the giant’s figure begin to blur, Li Ming quickly followed. This space rippled, and the two figures, one large and one small, disappeared simultaneously.

The scene in front kept changing, then gradually settled, spreading from around them, finally becoming a spacious room, with all sorts of colossal instruments, making Li Ming look like a little figure.

"For you..."

Li Ming was still observing his surroundings when the giant suddenly turned around and tossed something.

Li Ming, quick to react, reached out and caught it.

The object wasn’t large, only the size of an infant’s head, with a metallic shell emitting a soft glow, which felt unusually warm.

It subtly throbbed, its rhythm not as regular as a biological heart, yet carrying a unique cadence.

[Holy Spirit Heart--Special Type: A symbol of the Holy Spirit Civilization, it has a special effect on the Mechanical Evolution System, granting potential to become a Mechanical Saint.

Control Conditions: Two billion metal energy

Control Ability--Baptism: Promotion to mechanical-related professions.]

Li Ming raised an eyebrow, Mechanical Evolution System? It should be the native evolution system of the Holy Spirit Civilization, which, here, turned into a Professional Promotion Device.

Mechanical Saint... Mechanical Saint should be secondary to the Mechanical Holy Spirit, but what tier it belongs to, X Level? Or equivalent to entering the Ultimate Path?

Li Ming muttered, having little understanding of the Holy Spirit Civilization, with scant records of its evolution system.

The last professional promotion already used things left by the Hammer Divine Craftsman, and Li Ming thought his mechanical profession had almost reached its limit.

"The Holy Spirit has perished, and you are not of the related evolution system, so this thing isn’t much use, keep it as a souvenir."

The giant’s words startled Li Ming, who looked up to see the giant’s two big eyes staring straight at him.

"Do you know the situation outside?" Li Ming cautiously asked.

The giant sighed, "You passed the examination, allowing me to operate autonomously. What era is it outside now?"

"Uh..." Li Ming didn’t know how to answer, as everyone’s calendars were different. He hesitated and said, "I estimate that the Holy Spirit Civilization disappeared hundreds of thousands of years ago."

"Has it been so long?" The giant was stunned, then asked, "To which Titan Branch do you belong? Your bloodline concentration is so low."

"Titan Branch? Uh... they seem to be extinct." Li Ming stepped back and said softly.

"What?"

As expected, the giant turned pale in horror, "The Titans are extinct? How could it be, even during the Ruins Period, it wouldn’t be possible to completely wipe out the Titans!"

"You’re lying to me!?" He stared at Li Ming intently, his emotions complex, faintly tinged with murderous intent.

Li Ming didn’t know how much power the giant could exert, so he quickly took out a smart terminal, "There are many offline records in here, you can check yourself..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a stream of data flowed from the surrounding space into the smart terminal.

The giant was stunned for a moment, as if his spine had been extracted, he slouched down: "It’s really gone?"

Li Ming quietly put away the Holy Spirit Heart; this thing seemed stable, so he could throw it into Folded Space.

"In the end, it still couldn’t be avoided, sigh..." The giant shook his head, his expression pained.

Li Ming waited for the giant’s emotions to stabilize somewhat before tentatively asking, "What did you mean by the Ruins Period you mentioned earlier?"

"Ruins Period?" The giant looked at him, shook his head, and said, "It’s hard to explain."

Li Ming felt speechless, even at this point, the giant was still being secretive?

Unexpectedly, the giant continued, "See for yourself..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding scene abruptly collapsed, space fragments weaving together, gradually forming a scene of streets coming into view, various buildings arranged neatly.

In the heavenly vault, it seemed as if meteors were falling, but upon closer inspection, Li Ming discovered that they were mechanical bodies and life forms, all of which were disintegrating, disintegrating into gray mist.
