Chapter 512 Adam's True Purpose, the Empire's Great Enemy

The Empire Capital Star, in the spacious office, Adam sat behind a large desk, his fingers gently sliding on the report of the holographic projection.

Dozens of data windows are floating on the desk, each showing a different flow of information—from interstellar trade data to military deployment maps.

The quantum clock on the wall shows the time in different star fields, and the ticking sound is particularly clear in the quiet office.

Adam frowned slightly, and his pupils reflected rapidly scrolling words and pictures. This is the latest report from the Stream Star Gate node.

“…The remaining traces of a series of blockade traps such as dimensional blockade, space stripping, quantum interference, super-isometric ion field were discovered…”

"Well...why did such a big mess come out?"

Adam was quite surprised. The incident happened most of the day before, when he marked a series of star gate nodes such as the streaming star gate node.

Therefore, the Imperial Intelligence personnel conducted an intelligence summary as soon as possible.

Due to the scale of the attack, the federal government has sent people to investigate.

"Ambushes of this scale are not something that ordinary people can prepare. There are still people who are secretly attacking Li Ming." Adam stroked his fingers, his eyes flashing.

The report has been pulled to the end by him. There is only this information at present. He has no way of knowing what Li Ming is doing now.

As I was thinking, a communication application popped up again on the window in front of me, it was Costa.

Adam's expression was slightly condensed, and he quickly connected, and asked in a deep voice: "What's wrong? Something happened to the deep-dimensional world?"

"No..." Costadt shook his head and explained, "Qinglong just contacted me and asked to speak directly with you, and...they have an extremely tough attitude."

"Huh?" Adam's heart moved slightly, "What's going on?"

"I asked him, but he refused to say that, just asked to talk directly with you, look..." Costadt was not sure about his idea.

If it were before, he would definitely not agree, and he would even refuse.

Can Adam meet at any time? Even if it is a level X-level life form, it won’t work.

But after returning from the Red River Starflower, Qinglong's specifications were already high and he couldn't make a decision.

"Turn over and go to the encrypted channel." Adam thought for a moment and nodded.

"I understand." Costadt nodded, Adam's expression was restrained, the screen in front of him changed, and the signal began to be transferred and decrypted.

Soon, Qinglong's cold face appeared, and the screen light casts a shadow on his face, making his expression even more gloomy and terrifying.

"Holy Emperor..." Qinglong spoke first, almost no emotional turmoil was heard.

"His Excellency Qinglong." Adam nodded with a gentle expression. "I heard from Prince Costadt that you have something urgent to discuss with me, what's wrong?"

"Don't the Holy Emperor?" Qinglong asked without hesitation.

"Well..." Adam couldn't help but frown, "I should know something, you can understand more."

"Seven hours ago, my student Li Ming was ambushed at the Liuguang Star Gate node. Now he is missing!" Qinglong's voice was cold and he was not polite.

There was no restraint because of Adam's identity.

"Is Li Ming arrested?" Adam couldn't help but be surprised, when Costadt said.

He had an estimate in his heart, and when he saw Qinglong's face, he was sure.

But Qinglong said it in person, which still made him feel a sense of surprise.

Heckler was so decisive this time?

He thought of Heckler at the first time, but was a little uncertain. He did not receive any information about the mobilization of large blockade equipment.

Unless it is Heckler's private property, but would he be so willing to do so?

He thought to himself, but Adam's reaction was not slow. He immediately lowered his face and asked, "What does Lord Qinglong mean is this matter done by the Empire?"

"Otherwise, the empire seems to have always been coveting the people under my command." Qinglong was extremely tough and forced to look at the empire's holy emperor: "I have never provoked the empire on my own initiative. I have been passively fighting back what happened before. , including Ryan's incident."

"If the Empire really dares to attack my students, I will retaliate at all costs!"

Adam was slightly rude, it seemed... this time he really touched the Qinglong's reverse scale.

But then he thought again that Qinglong complained that others were coming, and he asked Li Ming to take risks every time.

Adam became expressionless, no matter what he thought.

But now someone has threatened the empire, and he cannot be weak, with a solemn expression:

"The Empire is not afraid of any threats or challenges. If Your Excellency Qinglong believes that this is what the Empire does, then you can launch any revenge."

After Adam finished speaking, he added: "But I want to emphasize that no one in the Empire has carried out any form of attack or kidnapping on your students under my instruction."

This guy... Li Ming frowned slightly when he heard this, and automatically ignored the first half of the sentence, and said in a deep voice: "You didn't instruct me, didn't others instruct me either?"

Adam's tone eased a little, and even felt a little helpless: "This is not within my controllable range. The empire is too big, and even I can't fully grasp it."

"What does it mean?" Qinglong couldn't help but frown, "You can say it more clearly."

"You should know the Scarlet Wolf that was a while ago." Adam intended to point out, but he was vague, "Does Your Excellency Qinglong really think that it was the one I sent? I'm not that stupid yet."

"Scarlet Wolf..." Li Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, and it seemed that the Holy Emperor was not omnipotent.

At least, I didn't know that his son was dealing with me, and I also thought I didn't know anything about Heckler.

"Not only that, I also refuted some people who intend to hold them accountable in Parliament." Adam said helplessly.

"Some people?" Li Ming cooperated and slid his face, "Who is it?"

"Ah..." Adam sighed, looking even more helpless: "After all, they are all from the Empire. From the outside world, we are also one."

"Don't ask who it is, but I will investigate this matter carefully. If it is really done by people from within the empire, I will give you an explanation."

Give me an explanation?

Li Ming's heart moved slightly, hiding it, vaguely, clearly pointing at Heckler, but he didn't say it clearly.

Li Ming pretended to be unhappy, but Adam already said, "This is my last bottom line."

Li Ming stared at him and said coldly: "Since Your Holy Emperor has such a promise, you should not mind. Please cooperate with me to issue an announcement."

"Announcement?" Adam immediately reacted, thought for a moment, and immediately said, "If it is targeted at the attacker, then the Empire is willing to cooperate with you."

At this time, Li Ming's expression calmed down, "Honor of the Holy Emperor, my attitude just now may be a bit inappropriate, I hope I will forgive you."

"It's understandable." Adam didn't care at all and nodded.

After the screen went out, he was silent for a long time before he let out a breath, with a faint smile, and quickly restrained.

"Hekler, you gave me a surprise this time. I thought you didn't dare to do it, but I made more efforts, but the problem shouldn't be big."

Adam couldn't help but feel a little happy, and it was difficult to provoke the conflict between Qinglong and Heckle.

Even with the natural conflict of the Holy Castle, Heckler was still quite cautious and reluctant to face the Qinglong.

Because Qinglong was concerned about the empire, even if the scorching wolf had already arrived, he would not be able to tear his face apart. At most, he would be disgusting.

But he blocked Heckler's channels for finding other selected people and repeatedly stimulated him with the corpse of the Terax.

Even in recent times, he has ridiculed him openly and secretly, putting pressure on him.

But he wasn't sure whether Heckler would take the initiative to accelerate.

He simply secretly made a move, mobilized his own people, and gave instructions to the people under Heckler, hoping to further intensify the conflict.

He knew that Qinglong's strength was not bad and unfathomable, and it was impossible for him to swallow his anger all the time.

But he didn't expect that it was a waste of time. Heckler was much more decisive as he imagined.

"Now, Qinglong's eyes have to leave the Eternal Silence Star." Adam was in a good mood and planned to get back on track, and his eyes flashed:

"When the contradiction between the two further intensifies, I just need to hold down the top combat power of the empire and let them fight."

...

"How could this Adam actually imply that I was Heckled?" After Li Ming finished the correspondence, he couldn't help but feel confused.

He thought Adam would at most pretend to be ignorant and then act with him.

But unexpectedly, he not only left a hint, but also made a promise that he would give an explanation.

Adam seemed afraid that he wouldn't find Heckler.

There was a vague connection in his mind. According to this guess, if Heckler really succeeded in catching Li Ming.

Then Adam would definitely have no choice but to say that this person and the forces he represents could not control himself and was his own decision.

If my attitude is stronger, Adam may not say it, and I will not care about this at most.

Moreover, Heckler's deliberate provocation and intensified the conflict.

"Is this going to use me as a knife?" Li Ming couldn't help but mutter, "But is it necessary to be so troublesome?"

"It also gave me a great say among pioneers, and even recommended me to become the founding ten founders of the Higher Life Organisation..."

"Just guide me to deal with Heckler, not to do that."

"Although they belong to two factions, Heckler is also the power of the empire after all, and it is not like Ryan's case, so he can't hold it."

"Besides, Heckler is just a representative figure on the surface. Just like Ryan, even if he kills him, the impact is not as great as Ryan. It is not that simple for him to take action against the House of Commons..."

Just as he was thinking, a guess suddenly appeared in his mind, and his face changed: "No, it's not just about using me as a knife."

Li Ming only felt a thunder pass by his mind, and all the past events were ignited like grass and gray snake lines.

In an instant, he felt a sudden sense of enlightenment, and he finally understood what Adam wanted him to do.

"This is to turn me into a great enemy of the empire."

It was a great enemy, not a knife, and Li Ming's face was unstable, and the two were completely different.

The pioneer can be counted as a knife, which can stab the carrion that can penetrate the empire.

But the limitation is too great. First of all, the pioneers are not qualified enough. Any leader, guide, and forge are hidden and cannot accomplish great things.

Even if Adam is the insider, as long as they reveal their identities, they will not add up to the imperial battle, and they are destined to have only a temporary effect.

In the early tense state, we can unite part of the empire's power, but once we understand the essence of the pioneer, it will suddenly collapse.

Adam also needs a powerful figure as the messenger behind the pioneers.

This knife cannot be really held in Adam's hand in the end, but needs a real knife holder.

If he did not use the Star of Eternal Silence to lead the Pioneer to the deep-dimensional world, then the Pioneer is still doing trouble in the main universe.

The House of Lords represented by Ryan has fallen, and next is the House of Commons represented by Heckler.

If Heckler falls again, Adam will never be greeted by submission.

Instead, it will be the final attack launched by all the dormant forces in the House of Lords and the House of Commons.

Adam may not be able to solve this problem, and still needs a powerful external enemy to force them together.

Adam has made him the person with the strongest voice within the Pioneers. Once the Pioneers fall, Qinglong will naturally surface.

And what other identity does Qinglong have?

One of the ten founders of the Higher Life Forms United Organization, one of the three great craftsmen of the Mechanics Association, extremely mysterious and powerful.

Killed Ryan, and perhaps also killed Heckler, and many Imperial X-level life forms.

The portrait is too consistent with the big boss who secretly makes trouble, and it is an excellent point for venting internal contradictions.

Li Ming deduced from a God's perspective.

Of course, the general process is not as simple as he thought.

Adam must be more meticulous in his operation to grasp this balance, so as not to really implode and lack more details.

But he estimated that Adam's general plan should be like this, and there is even a last step--

"Kill the enemy, and all the glory and power belong to himself."

"But his plan was definitely not like this at the beginning, but as the situation develops, he should find that the identity of Qinglong is simply too perfect." Li Ming paused.

As a fabricated identity, he certainly knows how useful Qinglong is, and it can be infinitely elevated and infinitely mysterious.

Adam didn't know that Qinglong was fabricated, but it didn't prevent him from going with the flow.

After realizing this, Li Ming was not angry at first, but had an unspeakable emotion, "Why make it so complicated? If you want me to act, just give me money."

"...Get me an X-level gene seed, and I will kill whoever I want to kill..."

Li Ming muttered, and then shook his head, knowing that this was a fantasy.

The two of them had no basis for trust. Even if Adam really gave him an X-level gene seed, he would not dare to use it.

"Take me as the big boss, you must hold on in the end." After figuring out Adam's purpose, Li Ming felt much more calm.

In the short term, this guy is not a threat. Not only is he not a threat, but he can also use a lot of his strength.

Repressing his thoughts, Li Ming did not open the smart terminal again, but switched to the control object.

The next moment, he landed in the Godcrafter Joint Experiment Center in the form of a virtual projection.
