It wasn't until Sun Hao left that Yuan Xiao couldn't help but speak, "Chairman, the Dream Demon is already very substantial..."
"It's fine."
Zhou Yi said, "I have already warned the Dream Demon."
The Angel of Death immediately understood, "So that's why the Dream Demon disappeared just now."
Zhou Yi asked her, "Is the Dream Demon very timid?"
"No, on the contrary, they are very daring."
Yuan Xiao said seriously, "Because Dream Demons are difficult to contain, once they grow and awaken, they tend do things without any taboos. Like its current size, it is already very dangerous, and this treatment has greatly promoted its growth..."
Zhou Yi found it strange.
Are Dream Demons restrained by Concept Life? Or are they simply suppressed by the mic master's BGM domain?
He could clearly feel that the Dream Demon was truly afraid of him from the bottom of its heart.
Yuan Xiao was also puzzled by this.
Her understanding of Dream Demons also came from the previous generation of the Angel of Death. She was not from the Healer lineage, hence her understanding was not deep.
Regarding Dream Demons, they could only observe and stay vigilant for now.
Zhou Yi turned his attention back to the tattoo on his shoulder.
The biggest gain this time was the capture of an atmosphere creature.
In the Double Helix World, what had become like a large cyclone, an Ice Pot, was slowly advancing up the ladder of consciousness.
Zhou Yi looked down upon the life within the Memory Core.
"How does it feel?"
The Alien creature suddenly stopped moving.
It spread out in all directions, trying to extend itself to search for the source of the voice.
But the rules of the Memory Core space restrained its actions, making it seem like a constantly dissipating and curling mist, only able to spin in place.
"What is this place?" it questioned.
"Answer."
The atmosphere creature was silent for a while but eventually responded, "I do not know. I have been in a daze for a long time."
"As soon as that strange thing was put into me, abnormalities began to appear all over my body, and they got worse and worse... My body started to develop leaks, and my consciousness also became increasingly blurred, I've been asleep for a long time."
Zhou Yi contemplated.
It seemed that the storage of something had led to a series of changes in the Ice Pot.
Mere storage causing an A-level Building Life to collapse and explode showed just how astonishingly potent that stored material was.
Zhou Yi said, "Do you know that you have become an atmosphere creature?"
"Atmosphere creature? What is that?"
Zhou Yi explained to it the relationship between Building Life and atmosphere creatures.
"Mutated transformation direction… so that's how it is."
The other party fell into thought.
"Having turned into this, it seems I've been captured by you through some means. May I ask what exactly happened before?"
Zhou Yi told it everything he knew in detail.
"Thank you for informing me."
"Although I do not know whether this is good or bad for me, I need to adapt to my new form and identity. Since I've fallen into your hands, I will follow your commands and act according to your requirements."
"Please rest assured, I have experience in this area, and it is in my own best interest to do so."
Its train of thought was very clear.
By judging the situation and making decisions, it was the strongest of the Building Life entities Zhou Yi had seen.
This certainly saved a lot of trouble.
Zhou Yi spoke frankly, "I need your power, and I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."
"Okay."
"What is your name?"
"In my existing memories, I do not have a name, but there is a name given by a consciousness within me that I quite like, called Ice Pot. You can call me by that name."
Zhou Yi said, "Ice Pot, I now need to access your Memory Core, and I need your consent."
"Agreed."
Ice Pot was very cooperative.
Next, Zhou Yi began to read the memories of this former Building Life.
...
Like most Building Life entities, Ice Pot was unable to accurately record time, and could only witness the slow changes in the surrounding environment.
It was half buried in a mound of sand, in a semi-dormant state. The creatures that typically approached it were sand rats and bugs, with the occasional predatory bird coming for a visit.
One day, a Heavy Armor Warrior came.
The newcomer wore metallic half-body armor and a helmet covering their face, identifiable as a woman only by her long hair and waist and leg profile.
She observed the Building Life for a while, then reached out with both arms to grasp its edge, slowly pulling it out of the sand bit by bit.
The Powerful Female Warrior placed the Ice Pot in the open air, took out a Silver Wine Jug, and poured out numerous Light Seeds onto it.
As the Ice Pot absorbed energy, it gradually revived and resumed its cooling function.
The female warrior dragged it onto a large ship and sent it to an island.
The Ice Pot became a Storage.
Many things were put inside it.
Most of the stored objects were wrapped in metal containers, and their contents were not visible.
A few, however, were contained in crystal or glass vessels, with various organs soaked in liquid—there were hearts, lungs, intestines, bones of different sizes, as well as tongues and teeth.
These organs maintained a degree of vitality, slowly moving inside their containers. Their surfaces either bore silver lines or were combined with metal parts.
They were all modified Guangna Organs, or Biological Weapons.
Ice Pot was specifically used for storing these biological tissues—or Biological Weapons—that required a Low Temperature environment.
Its abilities were cooling and containment.
These biological organs, which also possessed consciousness, acted as a catalyst for Ice Pot. The number of containment items continued to increase, and with the ongoing supply of Light Seeds from outside, the Ice Pot was enabled to evolve steadily for a long period.
Time passed.
One day, a special item was placed in the cold storage facility.
It was a pillar made of gold. By estimation based on the height of the cold storage, the golden pillar was about one and a half meters tall, approximately the thickness of an adult's thigh. Its top was a cone pointing towards the sky, resembling the tip of a long spear.
Upon the arrival of the Golden Spear Point, a series of strange phenomena occurred.
Zhou Yi saw it. The organs contained within the glass and crystal containers were rapidly mutating, developing bizarre soft tissues.
They burst through the containers and moved towards the Golden Spear Point, sticking to it, creating a chilling sight.
The personnel performing the storage check removed the abnormal organs one by one.
In the end, only the Golden Spear Point remained inside the room.
The Ice Pot was also enduring this mutated Radiation, but it had a high structural strength, so the whole process was much slower.
One day, the Golden Spear Point suddenly changed.
Its conical top unfolded in four directions, forming a large golden disk. On the disk grew numerous tiny cubic close-packed cells—geometric solids formed by clusters of spheres that appear cubic due to being precisely cut.
These cubic close-packed cells made up the tiny protuberances on the disk, resembling the seeds on a disk, looking like a Golden Sunflower crafted through meticulous cutting.
The weirdest thing was that, in the perception of the Ice Pot, this object was still alive.
The low-temperature environment reduced its activity, and its movements became sluggish.
Yet, it still unfolded into a flower form.
When the Golden Sunflower bloomed, it was as if some force had awakened, and the room was enveloped in a golden light.
Then, the memory of the Ice Pot was interrupted.
When it regained consciousness, it had already been transformed into a Fire Seed Life.
...
Zhou Yi read this segment of the memory over and over again.
The Warlord used the cold storage to contain the Golden Sunflower, attempting to use the body of a Building Life to encapsulate this golden lifeform, preventing indiscriminate mutated Radiation towards other organisms.
But in the end, it still destroyed the entire cold storage and triggered the self-destruction of the Alien.
The Weapon Hunter Fang Qiao didn't mention a word about this incident, which likely constituted a crucial secret among the Warlord's faction.
The general situation was now clear to him.
Zhou Yi then asked, "Now that your structural form is completely different, what are the differences in your abilities compared to before?"
"There are no differences."
The Ice Pot said, "I still have the same two characteristics I originally had, [cooling] and [Storage]."
"Cooling can lower the temperature to -111.7℃."
"Storage allows the containment of objects to be unobservable from the outside."
"It's just that the strength is no longer limited by the body's constraints. If there is enough energy, both cooling and Storage can continuously evolve and strengthen."
"Another one is that I can directly capture Consciousness entities, which I couldn't do before."
Zhou Yi understood in his heart.
So this was what an atmosphere creature that had metamorphosed from a Building Life was like.
Continuing the capabilities of the past, but greatly increasing the limit and intensity.
...
While Zhou Yi was researching atmosphere creatures.
On the other side of the Dead Sea.
The Weapon Hunter Fang Qiao arrived at a wide canyon, sprawling with enormous footprints across its ground.
In front of a smaller footprint stood a man.
The man had long hair tied behind his head, sunken eyes, heavy dark circles, and pale skin, looking somewhat listless.
He was wearing a wide brown robe, munching on a roasted corn cob.
Behind him stood two women.
One of them was tall, wearing half-body armor, with her face completely enveloped by a helmet— revealing only her long hair and legs; it was none other than the Heavy Armor Female Warrior Zhou Yi had seen in the Ice Pot's memory. Currently, she was roasting corn by the campfire.
The other woman was petite and youthful, with two long rabbit ears, carrying a small Iron Coffin on her back.
The man with dark circles seemed interested in examining the footprints: "Finally found another juvenile."
The rabbit-eared girl called out, "If the master takes action, he can surely tame this little golden elephant."
"Don't jinx it."
The man covered her mouth with his hand: "Every time you say this, I end up suffering heavily..."
"Master, you're still so superstitious." The rabbit-eared girl said with a punch: "A superstitious master is the coolest!"
"It's better to believe in something than not."
The man replied with indifference: "There are many strange things in this world."
The Heavy Armor Female Warrior handed over another roasted corn cob: "Master, please."
"Mm. Lan Liao grills the corn to the perfect degree."
The man took the cob, but passed it to Fang Qiao: "What's up?"
"Master, that's..."
Fang Qiao hesitated and recounted the entire situation.
"The mark of the cold storage has completely vanished; it's been destroyed. However, I wasn't there at the scene, so I didn't personally witness the detailed circumstances..."
"It's gone, so it's gone," said the man with dark circles casually: "The strength of the Golden Elephant Flag is too high; after the second stage, it's normal for the Alien not to withstand it. The initial miscalculation that allowed it to escape the cold storage is my fault... ah, no, it's Bai Bi's fault."
He looked at the girl with rabbit ears: "At that time, you said that I would surely win with the Golden Elephant Chess. You're usually sweet, but your words are truly vicious..."
"I am guilty..." The rabbit-eared girl bowed her head, looking sorry.
The man then turned to Fang Qiao: "Eat the corn while it's hot. It's not tasty when it's cooled down."
Fang Qiao hurriedly took a few bites.
"Just leave the weapon you want to strengthen there. I'll deal with it when I'm free."
"Yes."
Fang Qiao placed down a Gatling gun, preparing to take his leave.
Suddenly, the Warlord said, "That Zhou Yi, what's he like?"
Fang Qiao hesitated for a moment: "He's not bad."
"Then tell him next time on my behalf. If he's interested, he can come to the Golden Elephant Valley to be a guest. I need his help diagnosing the Aliens here, and the compensation is negotiable."
"Yes, Master."
