Chapter 919: Chapter 474: Someone in the Dark? 3.7 Billion Metal Energy_2

The group looked displeased, ready to fire shots, while Reynolds seemed even angrier?

"No..." Mikhail stood up and explained, "I understand now, it’s precisely because the space-time distortion created by Diwusi has very low precision."

"What do you mean?" Reynolds looked on, puzzled.

Mikhail said, "This area has a Space-Time Molecule Lock, and the moment the space-time distortion realm created by Diwusi collided, it exploded, inadvertently triggering a coefficient fluctuation in the space-time molecules within the area, causing a chain reaction..."

Reynolds had an epiphany, widening his mechanical eyes, and said, "...The technique of the Forging Hammer is very advanced, yet they fear their actions could trigger a systemic collapse of the entire area, so they controlled the space-time distortion realm very well, resulting in no damage when hard force met hard force."

"This was not cut by the space-time distortion region of Diwusi, but the result of a space-time molecular riot causing damage."

Reynolds suddenly understood, while everyone else was baffled, as if they were hearing a heavenly book.

Only Li Ming could barely understand, simply explaining that the Space-Time Molecule Lock is something that defies the rules of the Universe.

And after the recent halt in time and space resumed, the locked space-time molecules attempted to return to their original fluid state, resulting in riots.

By a twist of fate, it left trauma, relying on the rule’s self-repair trait.

"No matter the reason, as long as it can be opened." Gonzalez looked indifferent, and the others didn’t care about the underlying principles.

Costate then said, "So, if we keep reproducing this process and continue cutting along the fissure, we’ll eventually open it."

"Theoretically, that’s still the case." Mikhail’s face changed, feeling quite frustrated, "However, it will take a lot of time."

"I can barely sustain it." Diwusi said, then followed up, "However, once it’s open, whatever’s inside, I must have priority to choose, and what I choose won’t be shared."

The atmosphere among the group suddenly shifted, from united to each having their own agendas.

Crow couldn’t help but frown, "If there’s only one thing inside, does it all belong to you?"

"It shouldn’t be such a coincidence." Diwusi smiled, his tone very firm, "If there’s indeed only one, it must be mine."

Everyone frowned slightly; the possibility was low, but not impossible, after all, Mikhail had already reminded them that it’s unlikely to be anything good inside.

"If it doesn’t open this time, there’s always next time, we have plenty of chances." Cedric emphasized.

"Then let’s wait for next time." Diwusi smiled gently, "It’s nothing more than waiting hundreds to thousands of years; whether it will appear again or someone might sneak in, no one can be certain."

"Of course, those leading the team next time might not be you all."

The group’s expressions changed, Costate was the first to speak, "I agree."

This time Adam managed to secure him as the main explorer, next time who knows under what circumstances he’ll be able to witness it, if there’s indeed benefit, it must be held tightly.

Diwusi’s words hit everyone’s soft spot, even internally, who doesn’t have a few enemies?

Everyone agreed one after another, leaving only Mikhail and Reynolds.

Mikhail couldn’t help but sigh, a matter of timing and fate, the Forging Hammer and they tried many times, only to open it by such a bizarre coincidence.

Reynolds felt unwilling, yet also dejected, ready to agree, when a voice sounded beside him.

"Um..." Li Ming hesitantly spoke.

"You don’t need to agree, even if there’s something inside, it won’t be your share." Crow said indifferently, "Or, let your teacher speak, he has the qualification, but you don’t."

Li Ming just mentioned he couldn’t contact the Azure Dragon, Crow was clearly targeting him on purpose.

But no one else spoke, not knowing how much was inside, if there’s less to share, then less to share, and Crow’s excuse was quite appropriate.

Reynolds was quite upset but saw Li Ming shake his head and say, "I also have a way to open it."

"You also have a way?" Mikhail looked over suddenly, skeptical, while Reynolds was stunned.

Diwusi frowned slightly, staring at him, "Didn’t you just say you didn’t?"

Li Ming felt embarrassed, laughing awkwardly, "I just remembered."

Just remembered?

Everyone’s eyes focused on him, if Li Ming really had a way to open it, it was clear he wanted to hoard it for himself.

Diwusi stared at him with a displeased look.

"We don’t need you anymore." Gonzalez frowned, "Diwusi can open it just the same."

"How long will it take?" Li Ming asked back.

Diwusi frowned, "After a rest and adjustment, creating it once takes about three days."

"Three days?" Mikhail added, "According to your method, it would take at least a hundred collisions to possibly reach the core area."

Close to a year?

Everyone didn’t know if what Mikhail said was true, but the time they had to come in was limited, if they couldn’t leave when time-space surge covered again, it would be troublesome.

"I only need one day." Li Ming said in a deep voice.

"One day?" Mikhail’s heart skipped a beat, looking at Reynolds, who also looked shocked.

This idiot, his acting is getting stronger and stronger.

He was very certain, it must have been the Azure Dragon, who had made arrangements for all situations in here.

The other people looked at each other in disbelief, one day... to open it?

The two Divine Craftsmen rendered it so difficult, yet now two people spring up claiming they can open it.

Diwusi had some difficulties at least, but Li Ming’s was simply too absurd.

Li Ming didn’t expect this group would actually manage to open it by chance, and with the possible appearance of the Abyss Clan, if he couldn’t monopolize it, he might as well take a larger share.

Just absorbing this silver metal block alone represented an enormous amount of metal energy.

"So I will replicate Diwusi’s conditions exactly; that should be okay, right?" Li Ming said.

Diwusi glared angrily at Li Ming, laughing with rage, "Is this how your teacher taught you?"

Li Ming pretended not to hear, Costate was the first to speak, "I don’t care, as long as it can be opened."

This priority selection right is the same no matter who takes it, and Li Ming’s speed is even faster.

Crow frowned, wanting to speak, but was stopped by Gonzalez, "If it can really be opened quickly, we have no objection."

He couldn’t bear the Azure Dragon, but it didn’t mean he had a good impression of the Federation, neither was good, choosing the quicker one was the same.

"You’d better really open it in one day." Diwusi’s tone was unfriendly.

Li Ming didn’t speak, four Mechanical Guards escorted him forward, then constructed a mechanical barrier around, enclosing him and the silver metal block together.

Rubbing his hands together, Li Ming eagerly began absorbing the metal energy.

His fingers moved over the smooth, delicate surface of the metal block, evenly absorbing the metal energy from each part.

He wasn’t sure what form it would open into, but with such precious material, if he didn’t absorb it completely and there was residue when it opened, it would be difficult to continue absorbing.

Absorbing this way was the safest, the metal energy balance on the control page soared at an extremely terrifying speed.

The latter digits kept jumping incessantly, advancing, cumulating, and growing rapidly.

As time passed second by second, the metal block also gradually shrank; by midday, it was almost the size of an adult man’s fist.

Li Ming’s eyes glazed over, his mouth couldn’t help but widen into a grin, on the control page, the metal energy balance astonishingly reached—it was 4.2 billion.

A new height never reached before, when he arrived, his metal energy was nearly depleted.

After another half hour, when his metal energy balance jumped from 4.2 billion to 4.3 billion.

Li Ming’s eyelid twitched, hearing a clear cracking sound, a fine fracture suddenly appeared on the silver metal block the size of a baby’s fist before his eyes.
