After its promotion, it no longer considered itself to be the same species as ordinary Snail People. Like the so-called suzerain state, it simply regarded these Snail People as slaves to serve it.
"Since you have this kind of thinking, why maintain the promotion channel at all? You don't even treat them like human beings anyway."
Based on this line of thinking, it would have been more appropriate for this guy to just use a complete Severance of Heaven and Earth.
"As a machine, it naturally requires human maintenance, which leads to exchanges of benefits with them; promotion channels are just one example."
"Now that the Snail People's defeat is inevitable, how about we make a deal? You provide me with energy, and I'll provide you with the technology for advancement. What do you say?"
As they talked, the big sphere's attention had already turned to Li Xingkong.
"Ha, forget about the deal, and don't even think about supplying energy. The ship of civilization has sunk; what reason does the captain have to survive?"
After listening to the large sphere's explanation, Li Xingkong gained some understanding of the development of these Snail People. In general, the circumstances led them to become what they are today.
However, these were not enough for Li Xingkong to use as an excuse to let them go. No matter how miserable their original lives were or how many calamities they had overcome to get to where they were today, their opposition to Divine Land was enough for Li Xingkong to sentence them to death.
Perhaps Earth Star, without Li Xingkong, would have become the same planet after many years of development, but there are no "what ifs" in the world. Li Xingkong's existence has indeed broken this vicious cycle.
The large sphere was still negotiating with Li Xingkong, trying to sway Li Xingkong.
Li Xingkong, however, had no intention of talking to him anymore.
The Divine Sense penetrated the core of the large sphere along the path, and thoroughly examined the technology it had been using as a bargaining chip, which it had been concealing in its database.
Since he was already defeated, why should Li Xingkong bother talking to him anymore? He could just take whatever he wanted.
Whether it's technical data or materials and equipment, as long as it knows it, Li Xingkong can forcibly find it in its database without needing to communicate with it much.
It was only because of Li Xingkong's sudden whim that he asked it a few questions.
After sifting through the memories of the large sphere several times and extracting all the key information, Li Xingkong unleashed his magical Magic Power.
Without the power of Magic Power, the light emanating from this creature dimmed, and after completely exhausting its energy, it once again became an inanimate object.
Li Xingkong did not destroy it completely. Putting aside its intelligence, this thing, as a technological product, still had its merits. If possible, Li Xingkong planned to take it back and hand it over to the scientists in Divine Land for research.
From the database of this large sphere, Li Xingkong found the locations of more hidden research labs. Before leaving, he could also plunder these places extensively.
After placing the large sphere into the spatial bracelet given to him by Baili Qiu, Li Xingkong left the so-called location of the Intelligent Brain and flew towards the various hidden laboratories.
While Li Xingkong was looting extensively, some of the aliens who had originally retreated to the edge of the galaxy and were observing the battle also began to make their moves.
Li Xingkong had already begun looting the spoils of war, so naturally they were getting restless.
This is a great opportunity. As long as they avoid Li Xingkong, there's a wealth of resources waiting for them to collect on this entire planet.
Even if Li Xingkong didn't like it, it was still a top-notch item for them.
So, some time after Li Xingkong entered the planet, some impatient aliens set off in their small, dilapidated ships toward the planet.
Even the most dilapidated civilization is still a behemoth to an individual, and the fall of such a behemoth will inevitably lead to the rise of many ordinary people.
Li Xingkong plundered many laboratories, obtaining a wealth of technical data that was completely different from that on Earth Star, and stuffed it all into his bracelet.
Consider this a gift from myself to Divine Land. With this data, Divine Land's scientific research may be able to advance further.
After gathering the data, Li Xingkong was about to leave when he suddenly stopped in his tracks once he reached the atmosphere.
There's something he hasn't taken yet.
It was this Snail People's planetary shield that stopped him!
This thing is so technologically advanced that even Li Xingkong has no way to break through it; he can only use a clever trick to bypass it and launch an attack.
Having scoured the entire Snail People's technology, how could they possibly leave this thing out?
However, Li Xingkong still didn't understand how the shield was activated. Li Xingkong wasn't sure what kind of instrument it was made of, and finding a completely unfamiliar instrument would be too troublesome.
Fortunately, after searching through several laboratories, Li Xingkong gained some understanding of the Snail People's equipment and design style.
He didn't need to search around like a headless fly; he just needed to find some equipment among the many intact machines that was completely different from the Snail People's style.
This search narrowed down the search area considerably. After circling the planet several times, Li Xingkong finally found the pair of strange objects in a building that resembled a military base.
Its shape resembled a pair of shields, one black and one white. When Li Xingkong found it, the two shields were still locked together, slowly rotating a few inches above the ground.
Below it, a circular base provides a meager amount of energy to the two shields, just enough to keep them levitating.
It appears that the shield and the Arc below form a complete set, and together they can deploy a planetary shield.
After retracting the shield and chassis, Li Xingkong also found a simple instruction manual nearby.
" The Shield of Truth Type Three, produced by the Iron Law Country, boasts extremely high defensive strength; civilizations below level three cannot breach it."
In addition to the instruction manual, Li Xingkong also found the Snail People's deployment records for this shield.
The shield's energy interface is located in a nearby star system, not too far from here.
Taking these documents with him, Li Xingkong headed towards the planet where the energy interface was located, as mentioned in the documents. As for the remaining ruins and scattered property on this planet, he would consider it a small apology from Li Xingkong to the aliens he had driven off the planet.
He didn't really care for these things, and of course, the fact that he didn't have much space left in his bracelet was also a reason.
