Abyss Solo

After reading the last part of this information, Yang Ming felt greatly disappointed.

There was no information about the high-dimensional world.

Yang Ming sat on the bed in his own bedroom in the City of Light, staring blankly at the somewhat empty room.

Starlight filtered through several layers of film, causing tiny dust particles to dance gracefully.

What did he just see...

For a moment, Yang Ming found himself unable to respond, his eyes were somewhat dazed.

He was no longer the young man recently transformed by Kigrov; tempered by beautiful women and starry battlefields, he had already fought countless battles, ventured across the Milky Way for many years, experienced the vanity fair, made headlines, orchestrated conflicts, and brewed wars.

Yet now, Yang Ming was still shaken to his core by these last thirty scenes.

Levi Sherman was a madman.

These last thirty scenes contained vast amounts of information, directly summarizing the century after Levi Sherman took control of the Sherman Empire and the circumstances surrounding Levi's ascension.

Only the content of Levi entering the high-dimensional world was missing.

This was because Levi never actually entered the high-dimensional world.

It can be said this way—when Levi lost resonance with the Intelligent Mechanic Dusk due to a series of personal emotional blows, causing issues with Levi's own emotional regulation mechanism, proving that the Intelligent Mechanic Dusk made the wrong choice through 'ascension' became Levi's sole obsession.

During this period, Levi was always so warm, friendly, and courteous, giving the illusion of a benevolent wise ruler, amassing countless fans within the Pan-Galaxy civilization.

Levi's influence back then was several times that of the White Ghost in the human world today.

But in reality, the smiling Levi was the greatest demon.

Towards the Intelligent Mechanic Dusk, Levi's attitude was that if he couldn't have it, no one else could.

First, Levi used every means possible to conceal the entrance to the Intelligent Mechanic Dusk.

—He ordered some small celestial bodies to be dragged to that coordinate point, then bombarded them back and forth with energy to create a gravitational balance zone, which was the dust belt Yang Ming passed through earlier.

The dust belt was actually a blockade; when there was a slight gravitational anomaly, the balance would break, causing the dust belt to slowly cluster under gravitational forces, thereby sealing off the original black pyramid structure of the Intelligent Mechanic Dusk.

Then, Levi stationed troops in that Star Domain, designating it as the Empire's 'enclave'.

As for the Sherman Empire, Levi maintained his persona as a wise ruler while passing the Empire's slave status law, officially dividing the Emperor Star Circle from ordinary administrative stars, turning the entire Empire into a funnel for gathering resources for himself.

He also used every possible means against the Galactic regime at the time.

If he wanted technology that another country excelled in, he would unhesitatingly send troops on expeditions;

If he wanted minerals needed for some semi-permanent materials, he would almost effortlessly acquire them through various means, ensuring the sustainability of his ascension experiments.

Here, it's necessary to mention the three ascension paths Levi devised.

The first path, national ascension.

Establish a low-latency network covering the entire Sherman Empire, which is today's unified imperial network.

This network connects like a neural net to individual planets; Levi planned to spend ten thousand years transforming various administrative stars, uploading billions of humans onto the unified Emperor Star network.

The Empire would convert to a mechanical civilization, using celestial bodies as units for Thought Body habitation, collectively ascending into the high-dimensional world.

But this path required too much time and resources; its construction necessitated ten thousand years, with preliminary work and related technological breakthroughs potentially taking tens or hundreds of thousands of years.

Levi couldn't wait, so this path was only advanced in tandem up to the construction of the unified imperial network (primary form).

The second path involved genetic unlocking.

Levi assembled a secret force, which was the predecessor of the Heavenly Fury Fortress secret force, with the Heavenly Fury Fortress serving as the base for genetic experiments at that time.

This secret force, over thirty Galaxy years, selected billions of people marked by Levi throughout the Milky Way, ultimately secretly capturing more than sixty thousand for genetic unlocking experiments.

Unlocking the genetic locks placed by the Faya people on primitive humans was considered by Levi to be one of the most effective paths.

Relying on Levi's long-term selection of Milky Way humans and the life sciences technology he obtained from the Intelligent Mechanic Dusk (Levi chose mechanical + life at the time, while Yang Ming chose mechanical + evolution), Levi truly achieved it.

Possibility.

The process of Levi exploring human genetic unlocking was suffused with the rhetoric of possibilities.

After succeeding in his experiments, Levi used genetic reagents to unlock his own genetic locks, stimulating his body cells to reorganize and evolve.

This step already showcased Levi's madness.

Even before personally participating in this experiment, Levi held a top position of power in the Milky Way; his actions were considered irrational by the research team at the time.

This was because the success rate of the experiments at that time was only about thirty percent.

Levi succeeded.

Then he cleared out the research team, concealing this plan, while only keeping the technology.

Levi quickly realized that after genetic unlocking, it was his descendants in tens or hundreds of thousands of years that could complete ascension; no matter how much he stimulated himself, relying on a single individual to evolve life was utterly absurd.

Facing an ascension experiment with a success rate of less than one in a million, Levi could only choose the third path.
