Chapter 1089: Chapter 559: Fragnt of the Eternal Silence Star? (Part 2)

As expected of a Titan Holy Artifact, Li Ming murmured internally, though he wasn’t too surprised.

In the Deep Dinsion World, more people are contending for the “Eternal Silence Star.”

The Empire is involved, and the related remnants, along with the previous ti-space storm, can’t possibly be fake.

There can’t be two Eternal Silence Stars, fragntation is the only explanation.

Due to its fragnted state, the control requirent is drastically reduced, requiring only five billion, lower than a complete Infinite Hamr.

There are two abilities, without other data support.

[Future Prediction], clearly explained, is simply ti deduction.

But this last note leaves him speechless, “special factors,” referring to the Control System.

Due to the Control System’s existence, he cannot foresee any of his own tilines, and any ti prediction involving him would face severe interference.

This ans that even if he tries to foresee ti using people around him, attempting to indirectly see so aspects of his future, it’s impossible.

This left him at a loss for words, but tilines are more like a selection of possibilities, not inherently that powerful.

Otherwise, Zorro wouldn’t have been caught and brought back three tis in a row.

Thankfully, the second ability–[Regional Ti Regulation], is not annotated in this way, aning it can be applied to him, allowing for the developnt of the Genetic Seed.

Although the ti rate is only two to one, it effectively reduces ti by half.

Using it against an opponent might not impact X-Level life forms much, but it is a powerful tool for developing genetic progress.

Li Ming scanned it again, ensuring he didn’t miss any annotations.

In these fragnts, ti intensity and completeness are important indicators.

As the influenced object’s ti strengthens, the difficulty of adjusting its ti increases.

And as the fragnt’s completeness improves, all abilities will increase accordingly.

“I just wonder, how many pieces this thing has shattered into.” Li Ming pondered, “and if there are any other abilities.”

He speculated that there should be, as regional ti regulation and individual reversal and acceleration are not a singular capability.

In regional ti regulation, he can use ti differential for developnt, but individual acceleration only applies to physical states.

Under normal circumstances, his Controlled Objects, to upgrade from X-Level to Ultimate, would require one hundred billion tal energy and upgrade materials.

With this estimation, the Eternal Silence Star could be at most fragnted into two pieces.

But the depth of the Ultimate level is too profound, and one hundred billion Controlled Objects might not be the limit.

Just like the Infinite Hamr, full control requires eighty billion, whereas unconventional X-Level is ten billion.

Various thoughts intertwined in his mind, but no matter how he analyzed it, obtaining the Eternal Silence Star fragnt so effortlessly put Li Ming in a good mood.

However, Zorro and Robbin appeared sowhat anxious.

From their perspective, they could only see Li Ming’s changing expressions after grasping that thing.

From excitent, furrowing his brows, sighing, to eventually smiling, his emotions shifted continuously in a short ti.

Seeing Li Ming’s final smile, Robbin let out a sigh of relief.

It seed like there was nothing wrong.

But a sidelong glance startled him.

Zorro appeared pale, his pupils filled with bloodshot veins, his head extended forward, cold sweat dripping from both temples, his whole body shivering, with a feeble presence like a flickering candle in the wind.

“What’s wrong with you?” Robbin was bewildered, as Zorro seed fine just upon entering.

“Noth… nothing…” Zorro couldn’t fathom what was happening to him, as if he aged significantly.

An overwhelming weakness rose within him, unlike the fatigue from implant-body-soaked battles until dawn, but a fundantal fatigue he couldn’t muster strength against.

As he spoke, he felt the world spinning, and he found himself lying on the floor.

Robbin’s face twitched, crouching down to examine carefully.

Li Ming returned to his senses, also approached.

“He was fine just now, how co…” Robbin was perplexed.

“Ti Disguise…” Li Ming abruptly ntioned terms Robbin didn’t understand.

“How many predictions did you make?” Li Ming inquired inexplicably.

Robbin looked even more puzzled, but Zorro on the ground swallowed, “Countless, every ti I escape, there seems to be many predictions?”

“Ha…” Li Ming couldn’t help but grin, “You are indeed bold, even though most of the backlash was borne by that thing, but the remaining part isn’t sothing you can withstand.”

“Previously, it must have been that thing concealing your state.”

“Damn…” Zorro gritted his teeth, “I knew it, there’s no such thing as a free lunch.”

Robbin noticed the implications, realizing Zorro’s condition was caused by the azure object.

That object brings a trendously powerful capability, but the backlash is severe, beyond what Zorro can endure.

With a casual wave, Li Ming summoned a chanical Body from the shadows, deploying eight detection arms, two stabilizing Zorro’s head, four stripping damaged clothes, and the remaining two spraying disinfectant mist.

A sampling probe shot from the chest cabin, precisely piercing Zorro’s locked body, a light amber display on the chanical Body’s back displaying real-ti physiological paraters.

Li Ming patiently waited, eager to see what damage random use of the Eternal Silence Star might cause.

Soon, a concise detection report was presented before Li Ming, with the most direct statent being–“The target’s cellular activity is severely damaged, lifespan substantially reduced, estimated to be at 80%…”

“My lifespan reduced by 80%?” Zorro’s eyes widened, uttering “huh” sounds, feeling like his heart sunk.

“It’s okay, it can be replenished.” Li Ming, examining carefully, responded casually, pondering, using cellular activity as cost?

Perhaps because Zorro cannot fully sustain the operation of the Eternal Silence Star, resulting in cellular activity being the cost.

If it were him… Li Ming pondered, short-term use might be manageable, but long-term use could be unsustainable.

And developing genetic progress is a long and enduring process.

He couldn’t accept it, preferring physical energy drain.

He didn’t understand yet how the Control System abstracted stamina into a blue bar, but he increasingly appreciated its benefits.

“Boss, can it really be replenished?” Zorro’s hope rekindled.

Li Ming put away the detection report, glanced at him: “It’s quite challenging to increase cellular activity out of thin air, but compensating the loss isn’t difficult.”

At least, for his current self, it wasn’t difficult.

“Let Robbin take you to find Ulrich, he’ll arrange it for you.”

Zorro, full of gratitude, was supported away by Robbin.

Li Ming turned and headed straight to the Developnt Room, preparing to study the fragnt closely.

Upon entering the Developnt Room, Vermilion Bird received a report compilation from the chanical Bodies under his command.

They detained the Empire’s fleet, collected relevant information, and interrogated so people.

What Li Ming was most concerned about was why the Empire was capturing people like Zorro.

Opening the virtual screen, he carefully reviewed the relevant report.

“…just conducting routine inspections…” After reading, Li Ming was surprised.

The Empire’s capture of people like Zorro had nothing to do with discovering the Eternal Silence Star’s fragntation.

More accurately, this wandering fleet and those searching for the Eternal Silence Star had no connection.

It was rely because the Empire Science Academy noticed recent incidents in the Shallow Dinsion World, prompting them to seek samples for investigation.

It could be directly summarized as sheer bad luck.

“…so purely…” Li Ming couldn’t help shaking his head, expecting sothing more.

Though confirming that the fleet wasn’t aware of the Eternal Silence Star issue, Li Ming had no imdiate plans to release them.

Once they returned, they’d inevitably report it, drawing attention even if unrelated to the Eternal Silence Star, possibly tracing connections.

“Deal with it after this matter concludes…” Li Ming set it aside, examining the fragnt in his hand ticulously.

He attempted to infuse energy, causing the fragnt to emit intense vibrations, with more vigorous pulses surging through surface cracks.

Yet, for the mont, there was no reaction, Li Ming frowned slightly, the surging energy breath spewing forth, trying to inject more energy.

Finally, he could clearly feel an invisible force field gradually unfolding, very slowly, eventually covering roughly three ters around him before halting.

Not because it reached its limit, but because that’s the maximum efficiency he could provide.
