This is really not mechanical ascension

“Could this be…” Li Ming’s mind began to form a hypothesis.

In the next moment, Vermilion Bird explained, “You guessed correctly.

This is the primary life form of the Dimension World, code-named—Brown Iron Beast.”

“Previously defeated by the Holy Silver Civilization using magnetic resonance methods, its corpse wasn’t transported back before being seized by the Star Abyss Empire.”

“The Star Abyss Empire wasn’t very interested in it and didn’t study it for long, before being wiped out by the Holy Mother Church, leaving the corpse abandoned here the whole time.”

“I never expected it would still be here,” Li Ming remarked in surprise, then added with a hint of admiration, “Nothing beats using your own artificial intelligence.”

He hadn’t even issued any instructions, yet Vermilion Bird knew exactly what he desired most.

Vermilion Bird continued, “Master, please look to your left.”

Li Ming turned his head as the metal display cabinets embedded in the warehouse wall automatically opened, revealing several brown crystals.

“Divine Attribute Crystals.” Li Ming’s gaze rippled as he picked one up and held it in his palm, absorbing a certain type of energy from it—an energy he was very familiar with.

There were eight in total, including those he’d left over from before.

Once he finished absorbing them, his Divine Energy had surprisingly reached ten units.

“An S-Class Dimension Creature can drop this many…?” Li Ming pondered, noting that on his right, there were also two brown stones, about the size of a baby’s head, their bases equipped with anti-gravity devices.

Li Ming tried lifting one—its weight was astonishing.

“These are the material cores extracted from the Brown Iron Beast’s body, formed from the ultra-compressed and mutated iron elements, classified as unknown materials,” Vermilion Bird explained.

Li Ming attempted to absorb metal energy and, sure enough, was met with a surge of immense power.
