Chapter 1118: Chapter 574: Influence
We have to wait a few more days for the Pioneer’s spacecraft to arrive.
Li Ming wasn’t planning to waste time. After a brief exchange with a few people, he activated his Dimension Walker ability, preparing to chat with Chrono.
In Chrono’s Dimension World, the giant vertical pupil loomed in the heavenly vault like a star.
However, unlike before, the entire world was surging wildly with blood-golden thunder, and blood vessels like mountain ranges were spreading across the surface of the giant vertical pupil.
Chrono was extremely uneasy, filled with regret, and even more afraid of Talos’s methods.
Originally, he thought that after this guy became a regular life form, he wouldn’t be able to evolve to a very high level, but he didn’t expect him to become so powerful now.
"Empire, damn Empire..." he was extremely angry, yet fearful.
Like an ordinary life form facing execution, he had been restless since his escape.
So when he detected a sort of fluctuation, the humanoid mimicry appeared immediately, and he prostrated in the void with a posture of utmost reverence, overflowing with sincerity.
This was the gesture some life forms in the Main Universe used to worship him, to show respect.
"Great Master..." Li Ming had just descended here when he heard Chrono’s trembling voice.
So humble?
Li Ming looked at the prostrate Chrono in front of him with some surprise; after all, it was a Forbidden Life Form, how could it be so humiliating?
However, he then understood that his current identity was not Li Ming, but Talos, Chrono’s former master.
He had been treated this way by Chrono before.
Chrono had always been rebellious when facing him, and it was the same before.
"Your loyal servant knows his mistake. It was the Empire that bewitched me..." Chrono explained piously, "I have now truly realized that you are the supreme existence."
"Please believe me, I will forever be your servant, obeying your orders."
This time, Chrono didn’t talk about any deals, he just humbled himself as much as possible.
Li Ming sighed; although his tone was calm, it struck Chrono’s vertical pupil like thunder, causing it to shrink slightly.
"You’ve disappointed me greatly. I once gave you a chance."
"But you seemed to completely disregard me and turned to tell the Empire about my affairs. How can I trust you again?"
Chrono trembled and continued, "Please believe me, I now understand, whether in the past or now, you are my only master."
"Please give me a chance to atone. I can let you pass unhindered in the Deep Dimension World, without any scruples."
"I am now unhindered, without any scruples." Li Ming shook his head, and said indifferently, "Just give the whole world back to me."
Chrono trembled, even with a sobbing tone, "Are you really going to kill me?"
It seems he couldn’t do it, Li Ming knew Chrono misunderstood his meaning.
He did want to control this Dimension World, but unfortunately, exchanging the world’s authority is not a matter of a few words.
Back then, even Talos paid the price of death, so Chrono would obviously not be willing.
Then just drain it... Li Ming didn’t hesitate, he switched Controlled Objects, and began to absorb the Blood of the World.
Sensing the commotion, Chrono immediately wailed miserably, "Talos, Master... I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong..."
Li Ming got into the rhythm from last time, and instead of responding, he absorbed silently.
Seeing that he had made up his mind with no room for reconciliation, Chrono exposed his true face and roared with rage, "Talos, your secret won’t remain hidden for long."
"You are the Azure Dragon; the Azure Dragon is you, there is no Li Ming at all. I will expose this secret across the entire interstellar!"
Li Ming’s expression was inexplicably subtle. Could this threaten him?
Previously, creating the alter ego of Azure Dragon was to have someone else take the pressure and give him time to develop.
Now, not to mention pretty well-developed, at least he can withstand quite a bit of pressure, and he often uses this alter ego out of habit, to hide his trump card.
Exposing this secret isn’t really much of a threat to him. Without substantial evidence, no one would even believe it.
Besides, this guy probably doesn’t know that he is about to face the pressure of the Three Great Civilizations, and this little thing doesn’t matter at all.
He didn’t respond, and continued to absorb the World’s Blood, causing the entire Dimension World to boil, leaving Chrono in despair.
He felt even more aggrieved; although he had the power to control the entire Dimension World, he was powerless against this guy in front of him.
Time passed by second by second; Chrono’s curses and imprecations were incessant.
To drain the entire Dimension World would take quite a bit of time, but he had nothing better to do on the return journey.
After waiting two or three days, the Pioneer’s spacecraft arrived, and he temporarily went offline from the Dimension World.
He found a node that could connect with the Main Universe, sent a few commands to Ulrich, and then continued to go online to absorb the World’s Blood.
Although the affair on Eternal Silence Star was over, the impact it caused was just beginning.
Under the gigantic curtain of time and space, X-level life forms already accounted for most of the interstellar.
At first, people might not have reacted, but by the end, almost everyone recorded it on video.
This secret was destined to be kept.
Even before they returned to the Main Universe, relevant video materials began to spread among some high-ranking individuals, causing significant shockwaves.
The information contained had some understanding thresholds. Things like Holy Castle, Titan Branch, King’s Trial, and so on, left many even S-level life forms confused.
