Chapter 186  Dilemma

Li Ming thought about it carefully, but he couldn't figure out the intention. However, the power of the eight nebulae was rapidly decreasing in his body, and it was absorbed by the blue sphere.

Sensing the decreasing energy in his body, he could not sense any signs of upgrading.

According to Li Ming's experience, when the level is upgraded, the cognition and consciousness in the brain will increase rapidly, followed by the surge in the sense of strength of the whole body, but this time, there were no signs and no feeling of advancement.

Such a strange phenomenon made Li Ming a little puzzled, but at this time, the breath of wisdom civilization in his mind became clearer and clearer, and the cognition of wisdom civilization and the use of energy were also slowly increasing.

However, there was no movement in the biological civilization and spiritual civilization in the body.

The rapid growth of the cognition of wisdom civilization gave Li Ming a new understanding of the star class he had cultivated before, which naturally included the electromagnetic waves and illusions of the magic tribe, and the teleportation ability of the space-time tribe, but there was no such growth in biological civilization and spiritual civilization.

Since it is an advancement, shouldn't the cognition of all abilities increase?

Li Ming couldn't help but think again, and his eyes inadvertently looked at the blue sphere in front of him. As he stared, the eight nebula powers in his body were actually condensing into the blue sphere.

"This blue sphere... could it be the foundation of intelligent civilization?!"

This sudden thought made Li Ming startled. It was not surprising that Li Ming could think so, because as the nebula power condensed into the blue sphere, the cognition of intelligent civilization in his mind also increased.

Thinking of this, Li Ming's eyes turned and looked at the cyan sphere and the green sphere.

"If this is true, only the cognition of intelligent civilization increases, the eight nebula powers must be completely absorbed by the foundation of intelligent civilization in the body. In this way, the biological civilization and spiritual civilization are equivalent to no advancement!"

Li Ming seemed to suddenly realize that he had three civilizations, and he needed three times the energy of ordinary people when he advanced, but why didn't he advance before? After the seventh level, it was there? !

Li Ming re-examined his body, and after a careful sense, Li Ming just realized that the biological civilization and spiritual civilization he had devoured before all had the seventh-order civilization foundation, so Li Ming's previous advancement was enough to meet the needs of intelligent civilization. Now that biological civilization and spiritual civilization have reached the upper limit of the previous devouring, three times the energy is needed to maintain the strength of the three civilizations. In other words, Li Ming needs three times the energy and physique of ordinary people.

Realizing this, Li Ming's face looked a little ugly. His body had to bear such a huge amount of energy, and the burden can be imagined!

The arrow had to be shot on the string. The advancement had begun, and Li Ming had to continue. The huge risks in it were also revealed bit by bit.

If he continued to advance, he would need to replace the Star Altar and Star Glory and replenish the power of the nebula. Even if the advancement was successful, Li Ming's body could not bear the burden brought by this energy, but if he gave up the advancement, the civilization power in his body would be unbalanced, and the use of energy would undergo a qualitative change, and it is very likely that the nebula would be broken.

Continuing or giving up would be extremely disadvantageous to Li Ming, which made Li Ming narrow his eyes and frown. For a while, he was at a loss.

Seeing that the energy that had just swallowed eight nebula powers was decreasing little by little, Li Ming knew that he had to make a decision as soon as possible.

With a wave of his hand, the star capsule appeared again, blue light flashed, and the new star altar and star shine appeared again. These star altars and star shines were disposable items. When absorbing eight nebula powers just now, one nebula power had been consumed, so they needed to be replaced immediately.

While replacing the star altar and nebula power, eight nebula powers also floated out of Li Ming's star capsule. Li Ming continued to open his mouth and swallowed these nebula powers into his stomach.

Along with these operations, the blue sphere in the illusion suddenly shone brightly, like a light bulb connected to a power source, dazzling and bright. White lines were still extending from Li Ming's body, but at this moment, the direction of the white lines changed, and they no longer entered the blue sphere, but entered the cyan sphere.

At this time, Li Ming was very clear that the blue sphere representing the foundation of wisdom and civilization was close to energy saturation, so new energy needed to be transferred to the cyan sphere representing spiritual civilization.

This operation was relatively smooth. As for what will happen next, Li Ming could not predict it, but for now he could only grope his way forward.

Just as Li Ming was concentrating on advancing, a big thing was happening at the headquarters base of Enkeanya!

Four ninth-level civilizations sat at the table and looked at each other with solemn expressions. They looked at the operating table in front of them with strange eyes, and an alien image had appeared in the middle of the operating table.

This alien had a T-shaped head, only the upper body was exposed, and appeared in the light of the operating table in the form of a phantom, with disdain and indifference in his eyes.

"I am Tam, the commander of the Tabitha star. The resources on the alien planet are already ours. I advise you not to interfere!"

The T-shaped head alien who claimed to be Tam said viciously.

Imergene looked indifferent, and said nothing after looking at Seymour and Odom on the side.

Just as Hesha was about to say something, Seymour suddenly snorted and said, "The Tabitha people are a civilization from the Perseus Arm. Alien planets have entered our Orion Arm. Are you provoking us?!"

"Huh?!"

Tam turned his eyes and looked at Seymour, saying: "The Orion Arm is just a small, shapeless spiral arm in the Milky Way. Do you want to go against our Perseus Arm?! But listening to your tone, I'm here I have some interest in you, so I will go to your Enke Anya star to meet the civilization of your Orion Arm. I want to see what the methods of such a loud-mouthed person are like!"

Seymour stood up angrily and said through gritted teeth, "That's really the best!"

Tam looked at Seymour with a strange look, then smiled slightly and interrupted the communication.

Seeing that the lights on the operating table had returned to their original state, Hesha rolled her eyes, looked at Seymour, and said, "Seymour, did you ask for our permission to accept the challenge so hastily?"

"Although there are a lot of resources on the alien planet, there are also a lot of magic beasts. Fortunately, it has not entered the magic source system. Otherwise, we would not just search for resources, but also find ways to deal with the alien invasion. Besides, we Orions The Arm is indeed a loose group of small civilizations in the Milky Way. At this point, I’m afraid we don’t need to fight with the Tettabitha people, right?”

Hesha said calmly.

Seymour seemed disapproving, snorted coldly, and said: "Searching for resources on an alien planet is indeed a waste of time and extremely dangerous, but having said that, even if we don't go to the alien planet, we can't let the Tabithaites succeed, because the other party's If we timidly quit after just one or two harsh words, then we, the Orion Arm, will not be allowed to be slaughtered by others? Besides, the Yingxian Arm has been at war with the Centaur Arm all year round, will they offend us more?"

Hersha looked angry when she heard this, and when she was about to refute, Imogen suddenly waved her hand and said: "Forget it, forget it, what's the use of talking about it now, since Tabitha is coming, then give it to Look at how powerful he is, it’s for the sake of our Orion Arm’s future public resources, why shouldn’t we be afraid of them if we are here?”

Odom, who had not spoken for a long time, also nodded slightly and said: "I think so too. Showing too much weakness will make the other party think that we are easy to bully. The other party may be more unscrupulous in the future, so it is better to give them some pain first."

Hesha let out a long sigh and was speechless.

"Okay, let's prepare ourselves. Tabitha people have always been arrogant. This time they come with bad intentions, and there might be an interstellar war. So everyone must be fully prepared. By the way, you can also give it a try. Our latest refined elixir.”

Imogen said with a look of satisfaction on his face, as if he felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment when he mentioned the elixir.

At this moment, Li Ming closed his eyes tightly in the cave, and all his mind was in the illusion. After three star shines in the three star altars, Li Ming also absorbed the power of twenty-four nebulae.

The three spheres around the body are all emitting dazzling light at this time, and the most critical step of advancement has arrived.

As long as the three spheres are taken into the body, Li Ming will directly advance. However, there are twenty-four absorbed nebula powers in these three spheres. Li Ming is still full of worry. With his own physique, he may not be able to bear it.

Although he was full of worries, he had to proceed at this time. Li Ming frowned and closed his eyes. The three spheres began to slowly gather in the middle, getting closer to Li Ming's head.

After a few seconds, the three spheres disappeared into Li Ming's mind like pebbles slowly seeping into the water. In an instant, countless messages bloomed in his mind like fireworks. Li Ming's cognition soared rapidly, but Li Ming was worried. What happened still happened, and the physical pain gradually intensified, making Li Ming's expression extremely ugly.

The pain became stronger and stronger. Drops of sweat began to fall on Li Ming's forehead. The entire cave began to tremble slightly, as if it was being shaken. Along with the pain was unprecedented strength. The seventh-level advancement to the eighth-level was originally only It requires the power of eight nebulae. Even if you advance from the eighth level to the ninth level, it only takes the power of nine nebulae. The total of the two is only seventeen nebula power. However, Li Ming absorbed a total of twenty-four nebula powers.

"If this continues..."

Li Ming gritted his teeth. The pain was approaching the limit of his body. At the same time, the energy in his body was overflowing. If it was not suppressed, it would definitely create a celestial phenomenon that Li Ming could not control. Li Ming did not want to attract the attention of those ninth-level people. In desperation, , Li Ming flipped his right hand, and a star appeared in his palm. Although the energy had been absorbed, it would take time for the body to fully accept it. If you are not careful in this process, the nebula will be shattered.

The expanding force seemed to tear the flesh apart. It was naturally impossible to accept this force in a short period of time, not to mention not attracting the attention of outsiders. Li Ming thought quickly in his mind.

Turning the palm of his hand, a star appeared in his hand. The star's light flashed. Under Li Ming's urging, the strange power in the star quickly circulated throughout his body. The star had the effect of diluting energy. With the power in the star, After entering the body, the pain and swelling were immediately suppressed. Li Ming originally wanted to try it, but he didn't expect it to work.

As the power of Xingyao swam in his body, Li Ming's pain immediately eased a lot. The energy in his body was suppressed, and the energy that was originally overflowing also stopped. The trembling cave also stopped, and the calmness was restored. Seeing At this scene, Li Ming was slightly relieved, but when he looked at the Xingyao in his hand, he couldn't help but frown. Although he was restrained, he might not be able to do without the assistance of the Xingyao in his hand for a while.

After a while, Li Ming slowly stood up and looked at the Star Glory in his hand. Li Ming put it in his pocket. At this time, the Star Glory was already a good medicine for Li Ming's life extension. He couldn't leave it at all. Fortunately, Li Ming had accumulated a lot of Star Glory before, so it could last for some time.

However, this is not a long-term solution. If the scarce disposable items such as Star Glory are used up, and the body cannot accept such a powerful force, it will be dangerous.

"I can't always rely on Star Glory, but my current body..."

While talking to himself, Li Ming suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of something.

"By the way, this guy Moore can assist in the advancement of energy suppression, maybe... it will have some effect."

Having said so, Li Ming no longer hesitated and walked quickly out of the passage.

After walking out of the passage and coming to the cave outside, Li Ming's eyes quickly turned to the entrance of the passage on the left, and he quickened his pace and walked in directly. After reaching the end of the passage on the left, Li Ming suddenly stopped.

In the empty cave, the cage was broken, and outside the cage lay a strange bird and a gray cat.

The strange bird had pink feathers, which were very beautiful and shimmering, and it also exuded an energy aura, like a fairy bird. The strange cat not far away had gray hair all over its body, but the hair was gray, like a phantom.

Such a gorgeous and moving appearance surprised Li Ming, and he even couldn't believe it. However, after his consciousness sensed it, his eyes showed surprise.

"This beautiful bird... turned out to be Moore?!"

Li Ming found it hard to believe, and turned his eyes to look at the strange cat again.

"Walker?! Did these two guys... eat the beast soul pill?!"

Li Ming whispered in his mouth, with an excited look on his face.
