Even the Heavenly Country Governor, when facing two Skywalkers, would feel immense pressure.
Zhou Yi had experienced this.
Bone Man Wu Yi and the Condenser appeared in the Shuanghe Region and forced Earth Official Lin Qin to come for negotiations. Although it remained arrogant, believing the advantage was on its side, it still honestly came under pressure.
This led Zhou Yi to think: "Did Dongji Duke die at the hands of these two Skywalkers?"
"Unfortunately, that's not the case."
Kunming Station spoke in a calm tone: "Usually, to evolve from a B-class life form to an A-class, one needs to find Firewood Mound to expand the capacity and intensity of the consciousness field."
"But East Pole Island doesn't need to. Because the Mutants are continuously dying in competitions, the consciousness information of the deceased is recorded by the Olympic Sports Center. It is a building life with a long history and a very high consciousness field intensity."
"The cruel death competitions prevent the losers' consciousness from dissipating completely, thus remaining in the building and becoming a special resource for the winners to complete and improve themselves."
"Tens of thousands of residual consciousnesses of the Mutants, along with the ability of the Olympic Sports Center, eventually catalyzed the birth of two Skywalkers."
Zhou Yi was shocked.
The Olympic Sports Center could hatch Skywalkers without needing Firewood Mound; this ability alone was considered strategic level.
No wonder United City valued it so highly.
"At that time, Dongji Duke hid this information, reaching a secret agreement with these two Skywalkers. One Skywalker went to the Outer Sea, while the other remained on East Pole Island."
"This brought disaster. That winter, four Skywalkers along with the Golden-faced Guard descended upon East Pole Island and killed Dongji Duke on the spot. They completely destroyed the four cities of East Pole Island, eradicated all relevant traces, killed all those who knew, and the local people who left vanished without a trace."
"The remaining Mutant Skywalker was also killed, but his residual consciousness merged with the Olympic Sports Center."
Kunming Station: "The Olympic Sports Center has an extremely high intensity, to destroy it, one must use the lives of Skywalkers. Therefore, those who silenced the matter did not linger and left."
"The outside world knows it as the Heavenly Kingdom propagated—that the Olympic Sports Center went out of control and caused the massacre at East Pole Island. Since building life cannot speak, it bore the blame and the crime."
Zhou Yi felt a move in his heart.
Was East Pole Island using the Olympic Sports Center to catalyze the creation of advanced Mutants, provoking the Heavenly Kingdom?
Incorrect.
If it was a problem with Dongji Duke, then publicly executing him and resettling the local civilians would have benefited the prestige of the Heavenly Kingdom.
Using 200,000 people to produce 35,000 Mutants, this utterly heedless mad project.
Behind it huge resource expenses, the technology to shield satellites from prying, and the blockade to ensure that no information leaks, Dongji Duke alone couldn't have achieved this.
A more likely possibility is.
Dongji Duke was merely the executor; the actual planners were the Heavenly Kingdom.
However, this governor, upon the birth of the Skywalkers, harbored the idea of misusing public tools for private use, and therefore faced the Heavenly Kingdom's thunderous suppression.
"Your deduction is essentially correct."
Kunming Station said: "This plan to cultivate high-intensity Mutants is prepared by the Heavenly Kingdom for the Heavenly People."
Zhou Yi immediately responded: "Creating projection bodies needed by the Heavenly People?"
"Yes, it seems Mr. Zhou is well-informed about the Heavenly People."
The satellite station said: "Some of them will also be specifically transformed into Golden-faced Guards, serving as the Heavenly People's guards in this world."
"The special powers of the Heavenly People enable the Mutants of East Pole Island to maintain their sanity over the long term, preventing collapse and reverting to beastly forms. This place serves both as a base for creating bodies for the Heavenly People and as a training camp for the Golden-faced Guards."
Zhou Yi took a bottle of soda from the drink rack, twisted off the cap, and took a sip.
He couldn't help wondering: "This Dongji Duke is doing this, isn't he afraid of dying?"
Messing with the Heavenly Kingdom is one thing, but stealing the projection bodies of the Heavenly People is dancing in a graveyard.
Logically, a governor shouldn't make such a foolish move.
"The specific reason is unclear."
Kunming Station said: "The Olympic Sports Center might know the reason."
...
The journey is still long.
While sailing on the sea, Zhou Yi decided to first visit the Heavenly Person Graveyard.
He hasn't been there in a while.
Zhou Yi closed his eyes.
In an instant, his consciousness projected.
He returned to the dark space.
There were no changes here, still the same few dimly glowing spherical Gemstone Bodies.
Compared to the constant changes on the surface, this place seemed to have fallen into some kind of stasis.
Zhou Yi first checked the Gemstone Bodies.
Everything was normal.
The abnormal movements previously caused by absorbing other gemstone bodies had now vanished, and the Sea of Gems resumed its directional flow.
So, the collection of bodies continued.
He looked around and found a gemstone body larger than himself.
This bulging mass emitted light with a specific pattern: dark, bright, dark, dark, bright, like a lamp with a special frequency.
Zhou Yi used the old method, creating a tunnel from White Gemstone and Blue Gemstone, slowly approaching the other.
Connection successful.
The periodic glowing on the surface of the counterpart suddenly became slightly unstable, flickering at moments and going out at others.
Zhou Yi began patiently dismantling this large gemstone body.
Starting with the outermost layer which was most abundant and densely packed with White Gemstones.
Then the less abundant Blue Gemstones inside, which supplied the power for the light.
In the innermost were the Black Gemstones, fewer in number, moving slowly, almost forming a stable sphere.
It took a lot of time, but Zhou Yi slowly opened the core made up of Black Gemstones.
Inside, he did not find any Rubies, but discovered something unexpected.
It was a human infant, sealed by White Gemstone.
Zhou Yi carefully transferred it into his own Sea of Gems.
Only then he began to observe carefully.
The infant's body had many glass fibers, like some sort of special crystallized hair. Its body curled in sleep, eyes tightly shut, it was still breathing.
Could it be a descendant of the glass people?
Zhou Yi used four-color gemstones as tools for a thorough examination, quickly ruling that out.
This was an ordinary human infant.
Its consciousness was empty.
Only a body forcibly maintained in a living state remained, basically a living dead.
Or rather, it was more like an experimental specimen.
The gemstone fibers on the infant's body were not natural growths, but results from surrounding White Gemstone fibers penetrating its body.
Through repeated observation and tests, Zhou Yi concluded.
The infant was used by the Heavenly People for experiments, attempting to transform him with gemstones into a form merged with gemstone life.
In short, they attempted to artificially create a glass person.
The result failed.
Life is not a matter of addition or subtraction.
New human + gemstone structure cannot directly produce a glass person.
Zhou Yi eventually removed the gemstone structure wrapping the infant, embedded some Blue Gemstones into it, and released it into the darkness.
The tiny gemstone flyer began to drift.
Zhou Yi wished it good luck in his heart.
Hoping that some kind of miracle might descend on this world.
Then he busied himself with organizing the newly acquired gemstones. The incorporation of a vast number of gemstones caused a new round of turbulence in the Sea of Gems, with the whole body rustling and moving.
Zhou Yi was no longer surprised by these phenomena, so he was not worried.
Just a digestion issue.
The body slowly began to self-balance.
Zhou Yi cast his vision further afield.
At the distant end of darkness, blue light still covered everything.
Just as Zhou Yi was about to return, he suddenly noticed an inexplicable change in the light band.
The color gradually shifted from a cool tone to a warm tone.
The blue light band slowly transformed into a blazing bright red!
As the color changed, the form of the light band changed as well, the red light stemmed from an exceptionally bright and dazzling spherical light source.
It looked too familiar, almost making Zhou Yi blurt out.
The Sun!
Could it be that the Heavenly People were around the Sun?
