Star Iron, conquer the world from Omphalos

If there is no loyalty, no matter how powerful the Ascendant is, it is useless.

After the ascension ceremony, these eighteen people were incorporated into Beloberg's imperial guards to maintain order in Beloberg.

As for Ash, he temporarily returned to the space station because the black tower told him that Ruan Mei had arrived.

...

Inside the space station.

The atmosphere today seemed unusually different. The staff who had been working overtime due to the repeated damage to the space station system were still listless in the morning. But when the news of Ruan Mei's arrival at the space station spread, the eagerness and excitement in the air were like programmers who had worked overtime for three days and three nights in a row and their boss told them that the project had been approved and they would get a bonus immediately.

"Ah, Lord Ash!"

As soon as Ash got off the spaceship, he was stopped by Ester who was not far away.

"Ms. Ester."

"You've arrived just in time." Estar trotted over and pointed at several massive spaceships docked at the spaceport. "These are the interstellar battleships we just ordered. There are five in total. Due to the restrictions of the Interstellar Peace Company, these are all we can buy right now."

"So fast?" Ash was a little surprised. "It cost a lot of money, didn't it?"

"The money's fine, but the company has blocked all the purchasing channels." Estelle sighed. "Because Ms. Black Tower openly supports Yalilo, the company has now restricted many of its operations with the space station. I had to secretly buy these interstellar battleships through connections."

"Thanks for your hard work."

It’s not because it’s expensive but because it’s not available. It turns out that the money power of rich women is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Although there are only five ships, they cannot form a fleet with strong threat, but considering that they are of no use in defense - because of the Black Tower's stance, the company dare not send more warships to crush them, or is afraid of sending more warships, so the current warships are more used for storage and training.

We will send all of these back to Yalilo and build a complete warship organization as soon as possible to form effective combat power. Otherwise, these big guys will be no different from toys.

In fact, in front of the real envoy-level combat power, the so-called interstellar battleship is indeed a toy, well, a bigger toy.

But it is undeniable that the battleship has great destructive power and is a very good choice for expansion and daily offensive strikes. After all, how many talents does the envoy have?

After talking with Estelle, Ash sent a message to Heita, who told him to go directly to the simulated universe.

Ruan Mei is already here.

When they met for the first time, Heita gave a symbolic introduction.

"No need for politeness, since you all already know each other very well." Heita waved his hand. "You can discuss the rest of the matter yourselves. I still have to deal with that guy, Screw Gum. Tsk~ there are so many things to do."

Heita gave Ash a look and left the room.

Before Ash came over, she had already talked to Ruan Mei about the bold attempt to simulate the universe, but the latter said she would wait and see the situation first.

Because Ruan Mei is not very interested in cultivating simulated star gods.

But Heita knew that this was because Ruan Mei didn't know who the star god of the origin of the sand of life was. He was extremely mysterious, and once she came into contact with him, he would crawl to her like a bitch (crossed out) and beg her.

The exploration of the existence of unknown life is also what Ruan Mei has always pursued in her research, although in the eyes of ordinary people, star gods are not actually "life".

"I heard some information about you from the Black Tower, but not everything she told me is true." Ruan Mei said softly, her voice gentle and graceful. "Omphalos... I learned a little about it before coming here. It's a mysterious place. I also learned some information from a billionaire that should be helpful to you."

"Oh?" Ash's eyes lit up. "Can you find the exact location of Omphalos?"

"I just talked to Black Tower. Starting from Oronis, we should search for the origin of life. Combined with what I know, it shouldn't be difficult."

I see. No wonder Heita looked so unhappy just now. He had been researching for so many days without any results, but Ruan Mei came and got some results. However, Heita had not planned to pursue the memory path before. She was more obsessed with studying the source of solar power. Otherwise, it wouldn't be difficult for her to capture a billionaire like Ruan Mei did.

Ruan Mei was not very interested in the origin of the sun's power, because she had never come into contact with the 'black hole' encountered in the simulated universe. Although Heita had told her a lot of beautiful things, Heita...wasn't that what he always did?

Ruan Mei’s goal is simple, which is the life sand used by Ash.

I am particularly interested in sand soldiers who can walk and fight.

Ash didn't waste any time and immediately summoned a group of sand soldiers.

"Is this the form of the sand of life?" Ruan Mei's calm eyes flickered with emotion. "It's truly... beautiful."

beauty?

It was the first time Ash heard someone use this word to describe the Sand Soldiers.

"The power within is truly miraculous. Is this the power of fertility?" Ruan Mei said thoughtfully. "No, it doesn't look like it, and it doesn't look like reproduction either... but I can't rule out other possible forms of these two powers."

Ash spread his hands and said, "I have no comment on the source of this power. I will give it to Black Tower for research and exchange it for what I want. Miss Ruan Mei, if you are also here to discuss cooperation, first you must help me find the location of Omphalos."

"That's easy." Ruan Mei's eyes were still fixed on Sha Bing's hand. "Also, I will join forces with Black Tower to put pressure on the company and resolve Yaliluo's crisis."

"Need not."

"Ok?"

Ruan Mei turned her eyes away.

"I will handle the company's affairs myself. Please don't show up for now. Show up when I need you."

"it is good."

Ruan Mei didn't ask Ash for the reason.

She had no interest in what happened between Ash and the company.

Don't care, don't get involved, it's just a transaction condition, so just do what Ash needs.

Instead, she is conducting an experiment and needs Ash's help.

"Life exists in many different ways. I'm dedicated to exploring the origins of life, and as a result, I've created many forms of life. The sand soldiers you summon possess extremely powerful life characteristics, but lack the 'soul' of life. I want to combine them with my experiments."

The two of them walked out of the room while talking.

"The Black Tower said you want to create a star god?"

"Rather than creating, it's more about understanding. Star Gods are too mysterious. Some are formed by the ascension of known life forms, while others are born from pure concepts. Aren't you curious about the level of life they attain after becoming Star Gods?"

"Not all curiosities can be answered, and it's not important to me." Ash shrugged.

Instead of studying the life levels of the star gods, it is better to think about how to develop the army and conquer the galaxy.

“Yes, everyone has their own career to pursue.”

Ruan Mei nodded slightly.

The two walked through the corridors of the space station.

Along the way, it attracted a lot of attention.

Right now in the space station, Ash and Ruan Mei are the most special ones.

"Where are we going?" Ash asked.

"I did some experiments on the space station. Of course, I got permission from the Black Tower, but she didn't know what I did specifically."

Ash's mind moved.

Wait, isn't that the thing?

Although it had been a long time, he vaguely remembered that Ruan Mei had created some kind of messenger in the space station.

It is obviously unrealistic to trace the life levels of the Star Gods and study them directly. Therefore, as the messengers bestowed with the power of destiny by the Star Gods, they are obviously the ones who can get closest to these mysterious beings.

However, he remembered that Ruan Mei should have failed at first, but it couldn't be considered a complete failure. She created it but it only lasted for a short time. But even so, his star core essence was almost killed.

Rumble~~

Taking the elevator down, they arrived at the confinement chamber of the space station. There were no staff in this area. As expected, Ash saw Ruan Mei's creations - some movable snacks.

These little snacks seemed very excited to see Ruan Mei appear, and they chattered around her legs, but Ruan Mei did not stop. Instead, she kept walking inside and finally arrived at a laboratory.

She channeled the power of the sand of life into the experiment, and the process from arrival to the start of the experiment took no more than a minute.

No, for these geniuses, they are probably conducting experiments all the time, just in different venues.

Ash stood aside and watched.

The power of the sand of life flows into a device.

Ruan Mei took out various reagents and added them in, occasionally thinking for a moment, until about half an hour later, a new... dessert appeared in the culture vessel.

Like a golden bun with legs.

After it appeared, the whole person was confused and yawned as if he had just woken up.

Ruan Mei frowned.

"What, failed?"

"Success."

"It's okay. This is only my first attempt, so even if I fail... huh? Success?" A question mark appeared above Ash's head. "But you don't look happy."

“Because I don’t know why it worked.”

"?"

"Just by incorporating the power you used, my creation's overall life force level has been elevated to a new level. Not only that, it even possessed strong emotional elements from birth... I don't understand. I was prepared to fail, but it succeeded."

"Um..."

Ash nodded. He got all the answers right on the test, but they were all guessed. For a poor student, it was a great joy, but for a good student, it was not like that, because it was equivalent to another problem to study - why does the living sand have this ability?

Very good, Heita, you will soon have a companion.

As expected, Ruan Mei turned around and looked at him with some confusion in her eyes: "Why does the Life Sand have this ability?"

She wasn't asking Ash, but muttering to herself, then turned back to her research. This time, the research object was no longer her creation, but the sand soldiers summoned by Ash. Ruan Mei didn't even look at the golden bread after it was created.

Heita once described Ruan Mei like this: "She rarely interacts with people, so of course she is far inferior to this genius in terms of social skills."

...

For the next two days, Ash stayed in the space station, summoning sand soldiers for Ruan Mei to study while re-entering the simulated universe with Heita.

Ruan Mei brought news about the Yizhe. Liuguang Yiting seemed to be keeping an eye on Omfalos. They were looking for a force that could break Omfalos's internal cycle, but few people in Liuguang Yiting knew about this.

According to the billionaire, the power of memory left traces in Omphalos, which means that a memory messenger must have been born there.

As for the purpose of Liuguang Yiting, perhaps it wants to find the envoy and lure him into the Yiting, or perhaps it is simply interested in the memory quality of Omphalos.

The person in charge of this matter is called "Black Swan". Black Tower seems to know him, so he and Ruan Mei made a simulated Black Swan and recorded it into the simulated universe, and finally broke the black hole that Black Tower could not avoid in the previous simulation.

After two days of simulation, through simulation and deduction around the black swan, the final progress was locked on a certain system time, and the black swan appeared on the Starry Sky Train.

"So, if we board the train at that time and wait, we'll definitely see her, right?" Ash pondered. "Is there no other way?"

Black Tower spread his hands: "This is the only method that has been simulated so far to reach Omphalos. Of course, there must be other ways. The simulation can continue. We still have time anyway."

Black Swan boarded the Sky Train after the events of Rov, but the train probably hadn't reached Pinocchio yet. Ash couldn't recall if Black Swan appeared at this time in the game... after all, it wasn't surprising for someone to appear on the Sky Train from time to time.

Now that we know the time and place, we just have to keep waiting. Anyway, on Omphalos's side, Ash didn't notice any large-scale black tide attack through his perception of the sun disc.

After the simulation ended, Ruan Mei sent him a message.

Confinement area.

After two days of research, Ruan Mei temporarily gave up tracing the origin of the life sand. After all, the Black Tower had studied this thing for a long time, and it was impossible to find the answer in a short time.

Perhaps she should accept Black Tower's suggestion and try to pinch out the "black hole" to see who the origin of the sand of life points to.

But before that, Ruan Mei still had her own unfinished experiments to do.

"I'm creating a... somewhat dangerous being, the Envoy of Breeding, the 'Star Crusher' Skara Kabaz. Theoretically, I've succeeded, but it can't leave the incubator. Skara Kabaz's own power isn't enough to sustain it."

On the way deeper into the confinement cell, Ruan Mei expressed her thoughts.

That is to inject the energy of the sand of life into Skara Kabaz's body!

In the past two days, she discovered through research that life cultivated using the sand of life has extremely stable existence characteristics, which means that as long as this power is utilized, it is theoretically possible to allow Skara Kabaz to maintain life outside the cultivation vessel.

What is this concept?

Creation Messenger!

Even though due to the limitation of the power of destiny, Skara Kabaz's power is still far from that of a real envoy, he can still kill a group of people if he is pulled out.

"You don't seem surprised?" Ruan Mei had already thought of an excuse to explain, so that Ash wouldn't turn around and go to the Black Tower to complain. After all, even the Black Tower didn't know about this thing. If Skara Kabaz were to completely erupt in the space station, maybe... well, it's just a matter of probability.

"Nothing surprising. The Black Tower has done a lot of outrageous things." Ash stroked his chin. "What I'm more concerned about is, if that thing is created, will it obey our orders?"

If we can create insect messengers, can we also breed insect swarms?

However, the Zerg is too conspicuous. Considering the impact of the global locust plague, they may be killed by various forces before they can be formed into an army to fight.

"Theoretically."

"Can?"
