Chapter 840: Sudden Change, Joint Pressure
The core of eternal civilization, the place of ultimate wisdom.
In front of the milky white ball of light is a field of dimly glowing data, with countless shining nodes converging into a sea of light.
Countless data links outline complex three-dimensional network structures.
These data links, like silk threads, form a storm-like expansion realm that extends into the depths of the universe.
At this moment, the view zoomed in and a streak of light suddenly appeared out of thin air outside a silk-like data link.
A closer look at this stream of light reveals that it is an extremely sophisticated model, with countless bytes flowing on the outer shell, as if trying to break through.
Click!
As a large amount of data poured in, the data model in front of him suddenly dimmed, and the outer shell defense was breached.
Data links were broken one after another, and large areas of nodes went out at the same time, leaving only a small patch of the sea of light, which was exactly where the core point was.
Then, as the position continued to expand, countless star fields flowed, and when it froze, a coordinate appeared before the ultimate wisdom.
"In the territory of the Iron Blood Civilization, and in the core area..."
The Ultimate Wisdom emitted emotionless mental waves, and then began to summon the Mechanical Lords.
Soon, the mechanical overlords arrived here, waiting for instructions from the ultimate wisdom.
"I have locked onto the target's location."
A faint wave swept across the space, causing violent reactions from some of the Mechanical Lords.
"Where is he? Let's go and bring the [Eternal Core] back!"
Li Yu has been the number one target of Eternal Civilization during this period.
[Eternal Core] is one of their most advanced technological achievements and must not fall into the hands of outsiders!
"He is now in the territory of the Iron Blood Civilization, and in the core area." Ultimate Wisdom added.
"Iron-blooded civilization?"
"Why is he in the Iron-Blooded Civilization?"
“…”
Some of the Mechanical Lords were confused.
"Could it be that he wants to cooperate with the Iron Blood Civilization to fight against us?"
"It's unlikely. If the Iron Blood Civilization knew that he had the Eternal Core, they would probably covet it very much. If he gives the Eternal Core to the Iron Blood Civilization, it would be better for him to return it to us directly."
"Could it be that we were captured by the Iron-Blooded Civilization? That group of militants has been very concerned about our whereabouts recently."
“…”
Many mechanical lords discussed the matter, but could not come to a useful conclusion.
But Kartel hesitated for a moment and said, "Everyone, I do have a guess."
The rest of the discussion gradually died down, and many Mechanical Lords turned their gazes towards Kartel, waiting for what would happen next.
"When I was investigating his whereabouts in the Three Kings Civilization, I found some strange clues." Kartel hesitated for a moment when he said this.
In fact, he also reported this matter to Ultimate Wisdom at that time.
But Ultimate Wisdom didn't care and told him not to waste time.
It was just that he was very curious and secretly investigated for a while.
It was during this investigation that he discovered something extremely shocking.
"What a strange clue! Why don't you keep talking? You are keeping someone in suspense." A Mechanical Lord said dissatisfiedly.
Kartel calmed down and continued, "I discovered that the Three Kings are likely to have originated from a life form that failed to evolve."
"Moreover, this life form that failed to evolve still retains its own body."
"A life form that failed to evolve? Keeping its own body?"
This information made the mechanical lords present fall into deep thought.
"Is it possible?"
Katel explained: "There is an organization called the Anti-King Organization within the Three Kings Civilization. The leader of that organization, King Heng, has retained something called an 'alien'." Katel continued to talk about his investigation results.
"Not long ago, the anti-king organization was in chaos because their leader lost contact for a long time."
"What's interesting is that it's not just the anti-king organization that's panicking, but also the remaining two kings."
"I was surprised by this incident, so I conducted a deeper investigation. However, due to limited time, I couldn't confirm the authenticity of the information I found."
"So the accuracy of this guess is only 76%."
A certain Mechanical Lord pondered and said, "76% is already a very high number. If this is true, then there is an explanation for why the target appeared in the Three Kings Civilization."
The surface of Ultimate Wisdom flickered with data fluctuations: "You mean, the target reached a cooperation with the Iron-Blooded Civilization with a body that failed to evolve?"
"There is such a possibility..." Kartel nodded: "The target has no base here, but enemies are everywhere."
"He can't consider Zero or us as partners. All that's left for him are the Iron Bloods, the Protoss, and the Gods."
"The life forms that failed to break through the evolutionary barrier have very high research value. This is not good news." The mechanical lords spoke one after another.
"That's right. The Iron-Blooded Civilization has been restless and wants to start a war. If they gain an advantage on the road to evolution, we will be in trouble."
"The barriers of evolution are not so easy to break..." The Ultimate Wisdom was not pessimistic about this, but also said:
“But it’s certainly something worth preventing.”
"Should we contact the Iron Blood Civilization and use this incident as a threat to force them to hand over their target?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was opposed:
"They are not stupid enough to agree to our conditions, and we cannot provide sufficient guarantees that they will not make trouble for this matter after we get the target."
"We have already taken the initiative. They don't know that we have learned the news yet. If they want to make trouble, it is best to nail this matter down and not give them a chance to resist."
The eyes of a certain Mechanical Lord flickered slightly: "Kill two birds with one stone. Unite with other civilizations to put pressure on the Iron Blood Civilization, demanding that they open up research on that body and hand over the target at the same time."
"The former is possible, but the latter is unlikely. If they hand over the target under pressure, no one will dare to cooperate with them in the future."
"But the Iron-Blooded Civilization will definitely make the target leave. This is what we need."
Many mechanical lords nodded and offered additional opinions: "We need to investigate the matter of the aliens thoroughly, otherwise other civilizations will not believe it."
"By grasping the 'past' and the 'future', you can prove this matter." The method of ultimate wisdom is simple and crude.
It’s not that they don’t have the power to deal with these two guys, it’s just that there was no need before.
The mechanical lords sharpened their knives and prepared to go.
…
Three months later, on a satellite of the Iron Blood Civilization.
A surge of energy waves erupted from it, instantly destroying the entire fragile time differential space.
A loud alarm sounded here instantly, and a large number of soldiers armed with live ammunition emerged from nowhere and surrounded the place.
Various exploration instruments were activated, scanning the area without leaving any blind spots.
Afterwards, several terrifying auras appeared in the blink of an eye, looking down at the shrinking energy ball below.
"What's going on? Is there anyone who dares to make trouble here?!" Barossa stared at the figure below with a cold expression.
"It seems to be Long Zun..." General Assad frowned and asked in confusion.
"What is he doing here?" Barosa's voice became even colder when he heard this.
"I don't know, maybe he is practicing." Assad said uncertainly.
"Practice? Who allowed him to practice with the help of our resources?" Barosa scolded, "Didn't His Excellency the Head of State give the order?"
Asad shook his head and said, "This is just a time differential space. After all, you are a master-level life form. It's too shameful that you can't even provide this little help."
"Did you allow it?" Barosa glanced at Assad.
Assad was about to speak when his vision suddenly blurred. He didn't know when Li Yu appeared in front of them.
"I'm sorry everyone. I couldn't control myself just now and my energy went out of control." He said apologetically.
"I'm sorry to scare you all."
Barosa folded his arms, his attitude a little overbearing: "Be more careful next time, this is the core of civilization, most of the high-ranking people are here, if there is any misunderstanding, it will be bad if a fight breaks out."
"Don't worry, I will definitely hold back and won't hurt you." Li Yu said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Barossa's eyes widened slightly, and his aura suddenly spread out, but then he seemed to have thought of something, and quickly restrained his aura. He just snorted coldly and left.
"Have I ever offended him?" Li Yu looked at Assad and asked puzzledly.
"This guy is like this, all his development is muscles. He talks to us like this too. If he wasn't strong, he would have been beaten up long ago." Assad seemed to be a little resentful and said unhappily.
Then, he asked nonchalantly, "What did you do in the time differential space that caused the energy to run wild?"
"Nothing, just experimenting with some abilities." Li Yu laughed.
Assad knew that the other party was hiding something, but he didn't want to continue asking.
The two chatted awkwardly until they got tired of each other and left.
After returning to his residence, Li Yu was still feeling frightened as he tried to calm the raging energy fluctuations in his body.
I almost lost control and ate myself to death.
Every time a source of essence is fused, it takes a long time to "digest".
But he was too powerful this time. He directly and forcefully merged the three source essences with almost no rest time in between.
If it weren't for his profound experience, he would have almost died of starvation.
However, fortunately, he managed to hold on and achieved the first transformation of source quality evolution. His life level leaped again and his strength became even stronger.
Theoretically, it should surpass the primary scale standard of eternal civilization.
That's why he blew up the time differential space at the last moment, just to avoid his transformation being discovered.
"Find a chance to return to the Titan ruins and find the other Titan artifacts..." Li Yu pondered to himself.
"However, the remaining Titan Temples may be difficult to find. I wonder if the Iron Blood Civilization has the means to search for 'information-state safes'."
"Go ask in a few days..."
Thinking of this, Li Yu stroked his chin, his eyes flickering:
"I don't know what those iron-fisted people in the Eternal Civilization are doing."
The duration of the [Concept Storm] has long ended.
At present, the second lock on him has not happened. I don’t know if it is because the ultimate wisdom is unable to do it or what.
However, the outside world has been calm during this period.
The Eternal Civilization had locked onto his location before, but had not taken any further action. It was unknown what they were planning.
Without any clues , it was difficult for Li Yu to guess the other party's plan, but he also had his own plan.
We will not stop because of these factors.
…
Civilization Zero, Conference Hall
"...After many experiments, it has been basically confirmed that our people have entered the ruins..."
"The threat of the outer rule entanglement area is gradually decreasing, and the speed is getting faster and faster..."
A senior executive pointed at the huge holographic screen in the field, which contained some difficult-to-understand data.
"As long as they gather the materials and build the linking device, we can go in and take back what we should have gotten long ago!"
The prophet nodded slowly. After everyone discussed for a while, he said, "I called you together for another matter."
The discussions around gradually calmed down, and everyone turned their eyes to the prophet.
"Not long ago, the Ultimate Wisdom contacted me and told me something. The Iron-Blooded Civilization obtained a body that failed to evolve and has been studying it for some time."
Many senior executives frowned subconsciously.
An evolutionary failure, can that thing still exist?
"Can this news be confirmed?" someone asked hesitantly.
They don't have any relevant information, so how did the Eternal Civilization know about it?
The prophet nodded: "They provided evidence from many aspects. The most important thing is that the 'past' and 'future' of the Three Kings civilization acted as witnesses."
"Three Kings Civilization?"
"Those clones don't use gene fragments?" Someone immediately reacted, somewhat incredulously:
"All these years, right under our noses?"
This sentence made the others look ugly. After all, they were the ones who were closest to the water, but in the end, others got there first.
"We can't even handle our own internal problems, so how can we have the time to care about things outside?" someone said indifferently.
“Although the Three Kings civilization is within reach, when have we ever paid attention to it?”
The prophet ignored the discussions around him and continued, "He wants us to unite and put pressure on the Iron Blood Civilization, demanding joint research and handing over the guy who discovered the failed evolution."
