Chapter 356 The Secret of the Past
"It's such an honor to be a prophet." Li Ming smiled and said in a very calm tone.
"Your Majesty, you are humble." The prophet's voice could not be heard as ripples, "Your methods astound us."
"Your organization is no less generous." Li Ming's eyes flickered, and he couldn't figure out whether the other party knew that he had killed Adas.
The prophet did not mention Adas and said: "Excuse me, can you solve the problem of the decline in the development progress of Desire."
"This..." Li Ming did not answer, but asked directly: "Where is the Star of Eternal Silence?"
There was no sound on the screen. After a long time, Li Ming heard the prophet's response, with a long tone, "Your Excellency Qinglong, you are really direct enough."
The Holy Mother had already predicted it and guessed that Qinglong's goal was the Star of Eternal Silence, but she was surprised by his directness.
"We do not know the whereabouts of the Everlasting Star," said the prophet.
When Li Ming heard this, his voice sounded careless: "You don't know? Since you guys came to talk to me, shouldn't you be a little sincere?"
The prophet was a little helpless, but he had a rough idea of the information Li Ming had. He knew a lot of secrets, but he was still far from the truth.
This is quite normal. After all, it happened more than 4,000 years ago. Some secrets have almost never been known to outsiders except for word of mouth by those who have experienced it.
"This involves some things in the past of the Holy Mother Church. Out of sincerity, we are willing to tell you." The prophet said sincerely.
Li Ming was noncommittal. He knew very little about the Star of Eternal Silence. The only ones who could test it were the Pioneers and the Holy Mother Cult.
Li Ming didn't want to portray Qinglong as omniscient, as that would seem too fake and prone to loopholes.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the prophet slowly elaborated: "Five thousand years ago, the previous generation of prophet Selkaya married Demes, the glorious Holy Emperor at that time, and gave birth to a child named Adam."< br>
"Through the special methods of Imperial Biotechnology and the Holy Mother Cult, Adam's development potential has reached an astonishing level fifty-seven."
Li Ming's heart skipped a beat when he heard this number. This... is indeed a bit astonishing.
The prophet continued to narrate, "This number can already be ranked among the top three in the history of the royal family. After Adam came of age, our Holy Mother Church did our best to train him."
"After another five hundred years, Adam has become an S-class life form, and has been developed to nearly 100%, becoming the most dazzling descendant of the Glory Holy Emperor."
The prophet's voice was hollow, vaguely describing an era of blood and fire, "But at that time, the previous glorious Holy Emperor, Demes, suddenly died suddenly, and the power of the royal family fell into a vacuum."
"Adam took the initiative to seek help from us and promised that after he becomes the Holy Emperor of Glory, the Holy Mother Cult will become an orthodox sect that is recognized within the Star Abyss Empire and can widely preach."
Widely preaching... Li Ming's eyes were gloomy. In the past, the Holy Mother Cult was active among high-level people. If it gets the support of the empire, it will also become popular among the middle-level people, which is terrifying.
The prophet continued: "With his mother's guarantee, and Adam's always being upright and honest, we are willing to believe him, and after putting in considerable efforts and two hundred years, we finally made him one of the pinnacles of interstellar power, Glory. Holy Emperor.”
The prophet's voice finally had some waves, "But on the day he became the Holy Emperor of Glory, the upright Holy Emperor Adam broke his promise. Not only did he refuse to fulfill it, he also ordered us to leave the Star Abyss Empire and did not allow us to do so. Get your hands on even the slightest bit of imperial interest.”
Li Ming heard it without any trouble. According to the prophet, the Holy Mother Cult is a white lotus, but if you think about it, you know it's not that simple.
The prophet sighed, "With no choice but to recover losses, we stole a secret treasure of the imperial royal family, the Star of Eternal Silence, and let his mother, Queen Serkaya, die a violent death."
"The Star of Eternal Silence belongs to the imperial family..." Li Ming keenly captured this sentence. There is only two words between the imperial family and the empire, but they are very different.
"In a longer period of time, the empire was the empire of the royal family." The prophet nodded, "And the upper and lower houses were originally tools used by the imperial family to deal with the people at the bottom. But as time goes by, the upper and lower houses gradually occupy more Resources, on the contrary, forced the royal family to decline continuously. ”
"The Star of Eternal Silence was originally a secret treasure obtained by the imperial family."
"Get", Li Ming captured another word, but he didn't show it.
The Star of Eternal Silence was not forged by the Empire, and it could still be regarded as an important treasure by the Empire.
Inexplicably, the words "Tyrax" appeared in Li Ming's mind. It seemed that only something from this powerful civilization could be regarded as a treasure by the empire and kept looking for it.
He was speculating in his mind, and the prophet continued: "Adam was furious and launched a war that lasted for more than seven hundred years. In the process, both the Holy Mother Church and the imperial royal family suffered heavy losses."
"The Houses of Lords and Lower House have been completely expanded, and the Star of Eternal Silence has also been lost in the dimensional world during its escape. No one knows where exactly it is, not even us."
This is a magnificent history, and even if the prophet simply summarized it, it took a long time.
"Even you?" Li Ming rubbed his fingers, "Then why do you insist on Li Ming's seeds? Just to cultivate powerful tools."
The prophet was noncommittal: "Your Excellency, our questions have been answered, it's your turn."
Li Ming paused and then said: "Sorry, I can't understand it."
The prophet's originally calm tone suddenly became suspicious: "What does it mean that you can't understand it?"
"Literally, that virus was developed by me accidentally. It is irreversible and extremely destructive."
"I guess Fushi has fallen from the S-class life form, right?"
The prophet was silent, more than falling.
After falling into an A-class life form, it does not mean that the S-class gene seeds in her body are gone. They are still in Fuxi's body, which causes her body to become deformed.
It was almost impossible to forcibly remove her S-class gene seeds, which would cause extremely serious damage to the body.
Nowadays, the high-level executive codenamed Desire Witch is in a mental state that is close to madness. Watching her step by step degradation from a higher life form is simply torturous.
Even if the prophet, the Holy Mother, or anyone in the organization tries to enter it, they can feel the chill and despair like falling into a nightmare.
And now, Qinglong actually said that there is no solution? The prophet didn't believe it at first.
Li Ming said indifferently: "I'm not lying. You should have tested her development potential, which is 0%. This is the powerful destructive power of the virus. No one can repair it."
In order to strengthen his persuasion, he continued, "In this case, there is no need for me to lie to you."
"I named it "The Eternal Nightmare", a nightmare that even the creator cannot solve."
Nightmare...an eternal nightmare. When she thought about the state of desire, she felt a faint feeling of coldness coming towards her face.
This kind of virus would rank high even in interstellar history. She even wanted to question Qinglong, if she had nothing better to do, study this kind of virus that harmed others but was not beneficial to herself?
She said coldly: "Your Excellency's methods don't even leave any escape route. They are not only ruthless, but also heartless."
Li Ming just smiled lightly when he heard this: "I didn't take the initiative to provoke you."
Listening to Qinglong's rather shameless words, the prophet only had eight words in his mind, "Be a bitch and you have to build a memorial arch."
At this point, her words couldn't help but become a bit colder: "In that case, why do you still need to negotiate to put Fusi back? Is this a threat to us?"
"No, no, no..." Li Ming shook his head: "I still have what you want in my hand, so we can naturally talk about it. As for the desire witch, I can only ask you to say sorry for me."
"You can use a more civilized and honest method. There is no need to secretly send an S-class life form, which will make me uneasy." "Are you willing to take out Li Ming's seeds?" The prophet ignored the second half of the sentence. .
"I can consider it, but I want to know why you ask for Li Ming's seeds." Then, he emphasized: "What I want is the truth, not prevarication."
The prophet became more and more aware of Qinglong's cunning, but she had anticipated it beforehand.
The prophet made a shocking statement: "Your Excellency Qinglong, let's cooperate and find the eternal star together."
cooperate?
This sudden proposal surprised Li Ming, but he did not comment, "Where is sincerity?"
The prophet immediately said: "The reason why we need Li Ming is because we need life forms with fifty-level development potential. We have a way to perfectly inherit Li Ming's extremely high development potential and raise future generations to level fifty."
"Level 50?" Li Ming thought, the requirement to control the holy elephant is also level 50, as if level 50 is some kind of threshold.
"Then, by sacrificing this life form with level 50 development potential, we can use some method to find the Star of Eternal Silence."
Sacrifice a life form with development potential at level 50?
Li Ming was also stunned subconsciously. This has the potential to become an X-level life form.
Just sacrifice it? So how powerful is the Star of Eternal Silence?
This was also a question he wanted to be curious about, but didn't ask.
Regarding the whereabouts of the Star of Eternal Silence, it was okay that he didn't know. It would be wrong if he didn't even know its function.
Li Ming didn't believe it for the first time. After all, it was just one-sided words. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Let me think about it and give you a reply after a while."
After he said that, he was about to end the communication. Who would have thought, the prophet asked again at the last moment, "Does your Excellency know the name Talos?"
Talos? Did they really meet that guy?
Li Ming pondered and said calmly, "Taros? Never heard of it."
"Okay." The prophet ended the communication, and Li Ming began to review things habitually, passing through many thoughts, and gradually formed a context in his mind.
No matter what they need the seeds for, I have to pay for the seeds first. As for how to use them later, it is not up to them.
In this conversation, the prophet seemed to have told a lot of information, but Li Ming was sure that what they told was definitely not the core secret.
For example, he believed that the Pioneers must know about the loss of the Star of Eternity, and the Star Abyss Empire also knew about it.
Over the years, there will always be a few people who know.
But what he said later, sacrificing level 50 development potential seemed ambiguous, more like a way to dispel his concerns.
Obtaining seeds has a high priority, so Fushi and even Adas can be ignored for the time being.
cooperate? Sacrifice?
As he speculated in his mind, elements rippled on the surface of his skin again, and his thoughts gradually fell silent.
A few days later, relevant information about the central world finally circulated on the Black Hole Network.
One person who claimed to have witnessed it claimed that he was jointly detained, scrutinized, and beaten by multiple forces in the central world.
According to him, this person has a wanted warrant across the stars.
After going to the Controlling Sacred Elephant and discovering a device for detecting mimic masks, he turned around and left, immediately preparing to leave the central world.
But when he went to pick up the spaceship, he was approached by the censors, who took him into custody to confirm his identity.
If he hadn't still had some brains and connections, it would have been difficult for him to come out.
"That's a big trap. Several empire-level civilizations and interstellar alliances took this opportunity to hunt down wanted persons in order to make meritorious deeds."
He was still there complaining, which attracted ridicule.
"Don't you know what you did? Do you really think you are innocent?"
Li Ming was browsing when there was a rapid knock on the door. Robin walked in without waiting for his response. His face changed and he said: "The review soldiers are here, they are downstairs."
"I made an agreement with the hotel owner that if any soldiers come to see us, we will inform them in advance."
Li Ming's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't care.
Robin looked restless, "Should we find a way to leave first?"
Li Ming signaled him to be quiet, and after waiting for a moment, there was a knock on the door, brief but soothing.
Li Ming opened the door, and a group of soldiers wearing blue combat armor stood outside the door. A faint blue light flowed on the surface, the helmet part was streamlined, and data and tactical information flashed in the transparent mask,
The shoulders and elbows are inlaid with miniature thrusters and weapon interfaces. The leader is a B-class life form, holding a laser gun and with cold eyes: "Brown, Nite."
He called out the disguised names of the two people and said in a deep voice: "In accordance with the [Temporary Joint Examination Regulations], the identity of the two of you will be reviewed now. Please do not resist and show your identity certificate."
Li Ming turned sideways and seemed very cooperative: "Please come in."
Seeing how cooperative he was, the expressions of everyone in the team relaxed and they filed in.
Robin was extremely alert, ready to take action at any moment.
After closing the door, he saw that the expressions of everyone in front of him suddenly became extremely dull.
Li Ming said calmly: "The review has been completed here, and there is no problem with these two identities."
The leader nodded dullly, "Yes, there is no problem,"
He took out his smart terminal and sketched.
Robin was dumbfounded, and the butler was also surprised, his voice sounded, "He actually has psychic abilities."
The censoring soldiers walked out of the room in a daze, and they suddenly woke up after the door was closed.
The team members looked at each other. The leader frowned, looked back and forth, and glanced at the time. He was soon interrupted by the next task reminder. He said in a deep voice: "Let's go."
In the room, Robin was stunned, "Is it solved so easily?"
"It's not simple." The butler explained to him, "The development progress of the B-level lifeform is over 60%. If you can directly control it, your psychic ability must be at the A-level level."
Robin secretly wondered, is Li Ming still an A-level psychic? How is this possible?
He couldn't understand.
