The corners of Anduin’s mouth curled up slightly. He and Sheffield had a pretty good relationship and he enjoyed the expression on the other’s face very much.

As for the last three words, he could understand them as a kind of shock of accepting inability, and he would not argue with the other party.

“No, you…what…just happened?” Sheffield couldn’t help but ask. He knew Anduin very well. Although he was powerful, he was far from qualified to become the ultimate life form.

Even if Qinglong forcefully supports him, isn’t he afraid of being targeted?
“It’s very simple.” Anduin smiled. “Saint Emperor Adam became the Ultimate Life Form, but was stabbed to death by Lord Qinglong, and supported Abel to become the Saint Emperor.”

!!!

Sheffield was struck by lightning, and Nandez and others were no less shocked, with dazed expressions.

They have only disappeared for five or six years, and yet such a big thing has happened in the interstellar space.

They knew very well how difficult it was to obtain the Ultimate Gene Seed, but the Empire was moving too fast.

What’s even more terrifying is that Adam, who had become the ultimate life form, was actually killed by Qinglong?
Sheffield didn’t think Anduin was fooling him. Prince Costat was not far away, watching him expressionlessly but did not refute.

“Sir Qinglong, are you already the ultimate life form?” Sheffield struggled to calm down and asked a useless question.

Pairs of eyes were focused on them, with deeper expectations on their faces.

“There is one more thing…” Anduin came closer and said faintly, “Qinglong and Li Ming are actually the same person.”

“Wha…what!?” Sheffield, who had managed to keep his emotions under control, suddenly saw the scene. His pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip and his cheeks twitched uncontrollably and visibly.

Qinglong and Li Ming are the same person? How…how is this possible!
Sheffield’s mind was in complete chaos. The sudden news made him lose control of his mentality completely, and he staggered back.

The Nandez and others behind him had crashed, their virtual projections dissipated, and then suddenly disappeared.

The entire laboratory was silent, and everyone’s face showed an indescribable sense of satisfaction. Anduin also showed a satisfied smile.

“Ha…” Raphael grinned. When he first learned the news, his reaction was similar to Sheffield’s.

Now seeing the reactions of Sheffield and others, the feeling is completely different, a kind of unusual satisfaction.

Of course, it is also because Sheffield and Nandez and others are at the same level as them that they have the desire to “tease” them.

Immediately, cheerful laughter rang out inside and outside the laboratory.

………

“Well, the activity level here is only about 8%…” Li Ming was already in the development room of the headquarters. He took out [Traces of Eternal Abyss] to comprehend it, and then he felt slightly relieved.

Just as we were about to start development, we received a communication request from Anatoly.

“Chairman, we have already found out about that group of people. They used the Federation’s connections to sell it to Gabriel. He is one of the interstellar maniacs we have not dealt with yet…” Anatoly asked solemnly:
“I plan to disguise myself as the transport team and arrest Gabriel while they are delivering the goods. As for the Federation…”

Li Ming looked indifferent: “All personnel involved will be killed. If Malcolm is dissatisfied, let him come to me.”

“If he can’t control his people, I can help him.”

There are always some crazy people at all times, even though the three major civilizations and higher-level joint organizations have emphasized the harmfulness of blood mist.

There are still people who want to take advantage of this to cause trouble and steal the blood mist to use as some kind of weapon. This is not the first case discovered, and I’m afraid it won’t be the last.

“I understand.” A hint of excitement flashed across Anatoly’s eyes. With Li Ming’s authorization, things would be much easier.

After dealing with this little episode, Li Ming drank a tube of potion and then entered the development state.

Regarding the research on blood species, the temporary containment of the moon mist, and the related troublemakers, someone is already dealing with them. All he needs to do now is to wait.

Waiting for relevant research results or variables.

………

The blood mist crisis of the Star Alliance has caused panic among the entire interstellar population. Although the three major civilizations have not disclosed the number of casualties, unnamed insiders have leaked the information almost every day.

“…Not to mention planets, civilizations have already devoured thousands…”

“…Death toll? That’s just a bunch of numbers, no one cares…”

Just a few words can make people feel deep despair. It can even be called the most terrifying virus crisis since the beginning of the interstellar peace era.

Out of panic came anger, and public opinion began to blame the major advanced civilizations, questioning what they were doing. After so much time, they had not yet curbed the development of the virus.

Many people pessimistically believe that this virus crisis is destined to sweep the universe.

“This is the revenge of the universe, caused by the unscrupulous exploitation of cosmic resources by advanced civilizations!” Many environmental protection organizations shouted loudly.

“It is said that a virus leaked from a human laboratory in the Star Alliance, which caused such a big incident…”

“… “

Rumors spread wildly, prices of all kinds of supplies skyrocketed, and looters were highly active.

This is the result of hiding the danger of the Eternal Abyss, otherwise the entire galaxy would probably be even more panicked.

Fortunately, the three major civilizations dealt with a group of people with drastic measures, and cooperated with the joint organization of higher life forms to kill several troublesome X-level life forms, and gradually stabilized the interstellar situation.

Time passed by minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

……

On this day, in the blood fog-7845 border area, the battleship was carrying out its routine disinfection mission, and orange-blue flames burst out from the hexagonal gun barrels.

These flames are not ordinary flames. The core of each flame is a super-compressed energy crystal, and the periphery is leaping with a deep blue halo tempered by antimatter.

The flames hit the blood mist, causing the mist to roll continuously. The entire battleship had a total of twelve sets of rotating turrets that were calibrated synchronously, and the jets of flames weaved into a fire net in the vacuum.

“The flame crystals have been consumed, and we are preparing to return for replacement. Expansion node record *-**-**-*-**.”

In the command room, the commander with a solemn expression reported the information and then issued the order to return.

But suddenly, the radar beeped and the detector’s voice was panicked, “Report, a high-intensity reaction of blood mist was detected…”

“Reporting that an unknown life form is approaching rapidly…”

“Report…”

“Unknown life form?” The commander was stunned. The blood mist had appeared for nearly half a year, and no life form had ever appeared in it.

But then his face changed and he realized that the blood mist had changed again!
“Supply the energy barrier with all your strength and activate the black box mechanism!” He shouted loudly with a determined look in his eyes, “Except for the operators, everyone is ready to meet the enemy!”

Just as he finished speaking, he felt the entire warship suddenly shake, flames shot up into the sky, a black shadow flashed and tore the entire warship apart.

……

Li Ming ended up in the development state, the energy particles on the surface of his skin converged, and he looked at the red light on the wall with a frown.

This is a measure that is only activated in a state of emergency.

He lowered his head and glanced at the smart terminal. His figure flashed and disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already in the meeting room of the command center.

The senior executives on both sides were startled when they saw Li Ming suddenly appear. They subconsciously wanted to stand up, but were held down by an invisible force and could not move.

“What’s going on?” Li Ming asked in a deep voice. Costat, who was presiding over the meeting, did not hesitate at all. “Three days ago, a disinfection warship was suddenly attacked, and an unknown life form was suspected to have appeared in the blood mist.”

“We have just confirmed the news. Multiple areas were attacked and suffered heavy losses. We only took these photos…”

Several life forms appeared on the large screen in the center of the conference room, like living works of art carefully carved by the Creator.

The first-appearing being has a translucent skin like liquid amber flowing all over its body, and a network of blood vessels woven with golden threads can be seen inside. Miniature nebulae are suspended in each vein node.

The limbs are as slender as condensed moonlight, and thin feather-like wings with a crystal texture grow naturally at the joints.

The second life form looked like an angel, with a bundle of silvery-white nerves at the back of its head cascading down to its ankles like a waterfall, and a constantly reorganizing biological prism embedded in the center of its chest.

The feathers on the back pulsate with blue light like a tide, and the capillaries flowing at the edges form a natural golden edging.

The remaining life forms are also quite beautiful, forming a contrast with the blood mist.

“I’m afraid they are all alchemical life forms…” Li Ming’s eyes flickered. Yongyuan would sooner or later respond to their power to stop the expansion of the blood mist. It was beyond Li Ming’s expectation that he didn’t take action until now.

In the past, most alchemical life forms were bizarre in shape, which was due to the imperfection of alchemical substances, but the alchemical substances had long since transformed into alchemical essences.

With Yongyuan’s help, the alchemical life forms created are no longer the same as before.

“Does this change mean that the blood mist has entered the second stage?” Costat asked tentatively, trying to get more information from Li Ming.

Li Ming did not respond directly, but asked: “How is the research on blood species going?”

“We did achieve some results, but…” Costat sighed.

“They are all modifications for vampires, but we don’t have the technology to create vampires. No matter how well they are modified, there is only one. As for the blood mist, we still haven’t found a more efficient way to stop it.”

Li Ming’s expression flickered slightly, “I’ll go take a look.”

After leaving these words, he disappeared. Costat had no choice but to continue discussing a new contingency plan.

When they arrived at the laboratory, in order to avoid redundant personnel, all the biological experts were divided into twelve groups, each conducting experiments on different blood species.

Li Ming’s appearance caused quite a stir, but he soon calmed it down and came to the first group to observe the blood species being studied.
[Alchemy Abyss Species–Consumable Type]

The first blood species did not change at all. Li Ming glanced at the expert in charge. It seemed that his name was Rivers and he was from the Federation.

The technique doesn’t seem to be very good, he said expressionlessly.

Rivers was a little nervous. Seeing that Li Ming had no reaction, he didn’t know what was going on.

Next, Li Ming observed one by one, and there was no change in the control instructions of the second, third, and fourth ones.

Many experts in the laboratory looked at Li Ming, not understanding what he was doing. It seemed that he was reviewing whose knowledge was useful. Wasn’t Qinglong a master of mechanics? Wasn’t he also interested in biology?

Everyone was puzzled.

Until the sixth one–
[Alchemy Abyss Species·Reformed——Special Type: A special blood species transformed by Raphael.

Control conditions: 900 million metal energy

Control ability – proliferation: absorb blood mist and create alchemical abyss seed body. 】

“Mr. Qinglong, how is it?”

When Raphael saw Li Ming coming to him, his expression finally changed and he couldn’t help but ask.

“This is not bad.” Li Ming nodded involuntarily. Absorbing the blood mist was what he wanted, but giving birth to a sub-body was not.

However, it is also an alternative method to dispel the blood mist.
According to the power of the control system, the sub-bodies created by the ability should be under his control, not Levenbeck or Yongyuan.

“This is what I do with proliferating cells…” Raphael couldn’t help but explain, but was interrupted by Li Ming, “I know its approximate effect.”

Raphael was stunned. I don’t even know what its specific function is.

He collected this blood seed first, and then continued to look at the remaining six, and only one met the transformation requirements.

[Alchemy Abyss Type·Reformed——Special Type: A special product transformed by Pao
Control conditions: 600 million metal energy

Control ability——Catalysis: Increase the expansion speed of blood mist. 】

“How is it?” Pao looked at Li Ming with anticipation. He was a local expert of the Star Alliance.

“Yongyuan will thank you.” Li Ming was speechless. Where did this talent come from?

Pao was stunned and a little confused.

“Change your research direction.” Li Ming also put the Yuan Seed away to prevent it from being leaked out, and reminded the expert.

Pao was a little dejected, “Okay.”

Only one out of the twelve was useful, and the efficiency didn’t seem very high.

Li Ming sighed secretly, then thought of Sheffield. He had been studying there for five months, but had no idea what the situation was.

Seeing Li Ming suddenly disappear again, everyone has become accustomed to it.

Raphael looked around, feeling a sense of superiority, and said, “Everyone, continue your research. Lord Qinglong still seems dissatisfied.”

Everyone felt contempt for him and could only focus on their work.

………

In the Domination Laboratory, Sheffield looked at the abruptly appearing Azure Dragon with a nervous look… No, Li Ming…

This was the second time he saw him since the last time at the Joint Command Center.

Li Ming did not use mimicry this time, but he was not used to it. Everyone, including Nandes, had an extremely strange feeling and it was still difficult for them to digest what they had heard from Anduin.

Li Ming’s gaze was fixed on the Alchemy Abyss Seed in front of him, which looked completely different.

The whole thing looks like it is carved out of blood-gold, flowing with the color of molten gold and coagulated blood, and the surface has a cold luster similar to that of obsidian patina.

The characteristics of flesh and blood have disappeared, and it looks like a sculptured egg, with a material between liquid metal and solid crystal.

“How did it become like this?” Li Ming couldn’t help but ask, turning his head.

“Oh, in order to keep it alive, we fused it with several genes known for their vitality, such as the Stigmata Salamander…” Sheffield suddenly came to his senses and explained hurriedly, “It gradually became like this.”

Fusion of genetic essence?
Li Ming was slightly stunned, and couldn’t help but touch it–
[Alchemical Abyss Stone–Special Type: A blood species created through the secondary creation of multiple genetic sources.

Control conditions: 1.2 billion metal energies
Control ability – Heart of Alchemy: Can absorb blood mist autonomously and create alchemical source. The greater the consumption, the faster the absorption rate.

Note: High-intensity absorption of blood mist will cause damage to the body. 】

Big guarantee!
Li Ming’s eyes suddenly lit up.
