Waiting near the Water Factory area for nearly half an hour, Bai Bi suddenly looked up at the sky: "Lord of Soldiers has arrived."

A figure appeared in the air.

The visitor was clad in a brown robe, with long hair tied behind the head.

The Warlord appeared to be just over thirty, with pronounced dark circles under his eyes and a drifting gaze, giving off a feeling of chronic sleep deprivation or kidney deficiency.

"Yo, nice to meet you."

Upon landing, the figure was devoid of any air, with an affable voice: "Zhou Yi, hello."

"Hello to you too, senior Warlord."

Zhou Yi nodded politely.

"Senior? That's a rather classical address."

The Warlord chuckled: "I thought encountering the Golden Elephant would have been a troublesome affair for you, but it seems the problem has already been solved."

His gaze swept across the surroundings.

"The Golden Elephant's death... The birth of the Golden Elephant Flag... Can you retract this thing?"

The Warlord, looking at the golden pen on Zhou Yi's chest with interest, said: "The fusion of an atmosphere creature and the Golden Elephant Flag? I haven't heard of such a case... Wait, it's not that simple."

His gaze became focused.

Zhou Yi felt as if some kind of ray had scanned through his entire body.

"So, it's like this. The Golden Elephant has passed on the genetic species to your atmosphere creature, a truly once-in-a-century situation. After acquiring the Gold Touching Skill, do you plan to evolve your atmosphere creature into a Light Core Body?"

The Warlord remarked casually.

"Senior, I heard that the material side has already been sealed by the Heavenly People."

Zhou Yi also took the opportunity to ask for advice: "If a new Light Core Body is born, wouldn't it attract the attention of the Heavenly People the moment it emerges?"

"That was the case many years ago. But now, the situation has been stable for many years, and they don't bother with such trivial matters anymore, so go ahead, the ones most concerned about Light Core Bodies would probably be the Heavenly Kingdom and Mechanical City."

The Warlord turned towards Zhou Yi: "Do you intend to keep the Golden Elephant Flag for the long term?"

"That's the plan."

"Then there's no issue. What you've obtained is yours."

The Warlord cautioned: "But remember, if one day the Golden Elephant Flag evolves into a Golden Branch and you can't control it, let it go. Don't be greedy for power and become the King of Gold; the King of Gold only leads to madness and destruction."

"Understood."

Zhou Yi solemnly said: "Thank you for the reminder."

These were all pieces of advice from the elder generation.

Zhou Yi then voiced one of his own doubts: "Senior Warlord, I wanted to ask, if the Golden Branch stage develops into the Golden Tree, what will it ultimately transform into?"

"Such strong curiosity, young man. You certainly do have the vigor."

The Warlord yawned: "Once the Golden Branch becomes the Golden Tree, it will seize all the Gold of this world, thereafter similar metals, and eventually progressively transform the entire world into the Golden Country—a material world composed entirely of Gold."

"In theory, that is. But due to Circular Flow—that is, the Dead Sea, it's actually not possible. Its power level is higher than that of the Golden Tree, preventing it from thoroughly transforming. This monster needs to be dealt with by a heavenly disaster."

"So you don't need to worry about it destroying the world; the world isn't as fragile as it appears, it's only our lives that are fragile."

Zhou Yi felt more assured.

The Warlord was more concerned about the Xindu Water Plant.

After learning about the Water Factory's specific situation, he said: "Give me a moment."

The Warlord's figure began to appear and disappear continuously.

Each time he appeared, he was carrying giant equipment of various kinds, setting them up and connecting them to different areas of the Xindu Water Plant.

The ground also sank spontaneously without any warning, forming two brand-new elongated Clear Water Pools.

The whole modification and repair process took less than 3 minutes.

The equipment began to hum into operation.

Ten minutes later, the sound of flowing water echoed throughout the Water Factory, and the pipes leading in all directions were no longer dry.

Bai Bi clapped her hands in joy: "Great, we have water! We've got water!"

The Warlord nodded: "Everybody has their expertise, and it's good that the repairs and equipment were confirmed. Otherwise, the Water Factory might have remained inoperative."

"Here, water is a very crucial resource. Without water, many things just can't be done."

He turned to Zhou Yi: "Remove your prosthetic, let me take a look."

Zhou Yi complied.

The Warlord examined the amputated surface: "Indeed, it's the elemental change caused by a Light Core Body."

"A feature of Light Core Bodies is their ability to transform matter into energy."

"Their power changes the properties of matter, remodeling and converging it to their own elemental form at a microscopic material level."

"This kind of elemental locking created by material change can only be unlocked by the power of a Light Core Body."

He explained plainly.

Zhou Yi suddenly understood: "But the element of the Light Core Body you mentioned... Is it the same element fused with the sea lord, Skywalker?"

"Of course."

The Warlord said: "The only matter that Light Core Bodies can directly transform into energy is element."

"Like the Golden Elephant, their element is Gold, and the more Gold they possess, the stronger they become."

He said with a smile: "It's just that beings with innate gifts like the Golden Elephant, who have fused with elements, can be found in nature, and will naturally grow into Light Core Bodies. But for us humans, it'd take a great deal of effort and incredible luck."

Zhou Yi felt overwhelmed.

His own element was a mobile phone... How is he supposed to deal with that?

Does it mean he has to recreate an information industry society necessary for mobile phones?

That path seemed exceedingly challenging.

"The key to a Light Core Body is to create a core with the element."

The Warlord spread his left palm.

Grains of sand started to emerge in his hand.

These grains of sand were attracted from all directions, eventually forming a crystalline and transparent polyhedral gemstone.

"This is the Light Core."

The more Zhou Yi looked, the more familiar it seemed.

Isn't this... the gemstone inside a Heavenly Person's body?

Are Heavenly People composed of Light Core Bodies?
