Duke Destructive immediately contacted Zhou Yi and bombarded him with a series of questions.

"What's with the Moon Landing Area? There was nothing there before."

"Did you develop technology to solidify the Dead Sea? Or did you raise the sea floor land?"

"What's the situation now?"

Zhou Yi briefly explained the technology.

He never liked to hide things from his people.

"Space Bubble… the power of space…"

Duke Destructive muttered, "That's beyond my understanding and comprehension, so complex."

Zhou Yi said, "I feel the same. But like the Mud Tree People back in the day, it doesn't matter if we don't understand the principle. Let's use it first — any technology that brings convenience and benefits is good technology."

Duke Destructive asked uncertainly, "Aren't you afraid there are hidden risks with this technology?"

"Should we just not use it because we're scared?"

Zhou Yi countered.

The other party was at a loss for words.

"Don't be scared by difficulties that haven't appeared yet; let's start using it and figure out solutions to problems as they come."

Zhou Yi had always maintained this attitude.

After pondering for a while, Duke Destructive said, "You're right. Sometimes I worry too much, but usually my preparations are inadequate, making me hesitant and likely to miss opportunities."

"You know, I have a Space Bubble here too. When will it be my turn to develop it?"

"We can start now."

Zhou Yi replied readily, "The Space Bubble is just the existing coordinate point; we can build a Space Tree around it and create a piece of land."

"This development will take quite some time here, so I'll have Ni Ge and Wu Yi go to your place first to incubate the Space Tree."

"That would be wonderful!"

Duke Destructive said excitedly, "If you need anything, just ask. Anything I have, feel free to take it from me."

Zhou Yi chuckled, "We're all in this together; of course, the good stuff should be shared. Your side is strong enough to help me withstand the pressure from the north."

"But we have to handle this cautiously. A new piece of land appearing out of nowhere will definitely attract external attention and interest."

"I understand."

Duke Destructive said, "I'll be careful in dealing with it."

Unlike the conspicuous Space Bubbles, the hidden Space Holes are hard to find.

The Cave People technology is known to the Mud Tree People only by the result, not by the underlying principles.

Thus, Ni Ge can only resort to the crudest method — carrying 12 hole boards to look for signals everywhere around the Moon Landing Area, finding regions that produce reactions bit by bit.

In theory, other Space Holes must exist nearby, but locating their coordinates is extremely time-consuming and laborious.

That's why Ni Ge mentioned that it might take a year or two.

With Ni Ge and Wu Yi out supporting the Shuanghe Region, only the Land God was left here.

It went around Sand Port, applying Sealing Soil to each section of the environment, and then told Zhou Yi something.

"Sealing Soil is just part of my ability, the beginning of influencing the land."

"Based on the land that has been Sealed Soil, the next stage is called 'Terramorph.'"

"It will accelerate the growth of mutated life in the land. Mutated life enhances the efficiency of the land in acquiring external materials and energy, and maintains the effect of Sealing Soil. They can be called Earth-controlling creatures."

"The presence and activity of Earth-controlling creatures make the land more fertile and full of changes."

To put it simply,

It's like enhancing the Sealing Soil stage with mutated life, transforming them completely into Earth-controlling creatures and becoming direct subordinates of the Land God.

It's somewhat like conferring authority to a land demon guarding an area.

"However, there are risks."

The Land God continued, "There can only be one Earth-controlling creature per piece of land. If they die, the Terramorph also fails. Since Earth-controlling creatures are very weak initially, their mortality rate is very high."

This wasn't a problem.

Zhou Yi said, "The company will formally stipulate to ensure the safety of Earth-controlling creatures."

"Hmm, that's manageable for the company."

The Land God went on, "Additionally, as Earth-controlling creatures grow stronger and smarter, their self-consciousness will intensify. Eventually, they might choose to leave this land and abandon their identity as Earth-controlling creatures, which is a common occurrence."

"Because land productivity is slow, needing seasons to compute. The energy needed by Earth-controlling creatures will increase, requiring them to seek it elsewhere."

"Once they leave, the Sealing Soil will fail too, and the land will enter a period of decline for several years, losing a large amount of material and energy. Because Sealing Soil creatures themselves hold a part of the land's energy, their departure will also severely damage the land."

Zhou Yi frowned.

This was a double-edged sword.

Earth-controlling creatures were like guardians of the land. If they abscond with the land's riches, the land would suffer significant damage.

However,

Zhou Yi thought quickly, "What if Terramorph fails and damages the land, but what if it succeeds?"

The Land God replied, "If there's no failure, consider it a success."

"..."

Zhou Yi was speechless.

You don't even have a reward for successful Terramorph; which Earth-controlling creature would want to stick with you long term?

In the end, they might all just run away carrying the land's power.

After some thought, Zhou Yi proposed, "What about this plan? You select for Terramorph, and the Earth-controlling creatures are incorporated into the company. They will work in the company's land department as land management officers, and I'll provide a salary — that way, they'll be motivated to stay longer."

"That's a great idea!"

The Land God immediately replied, "The company's financial resources are sufficient to support Earth-controlling creatures. They won't find better treatment or a better home than here outside."

"Chairman, how do you propose we make the selection?"

Zhou Yi thought for a moment, "Since Earth-controlling creatures are a new thing, we ought to try them out."

"I think the radish monster is quite good; it diligently plants radishes, and there haven't been any bad rumors about it yet. Let's have it become the Earth-controlling creature and entrust it with all the land along the entire road to test it."

Land God agreed.

He flew to the suspended layer where the radish monster resided, and his clay body emitted a soft green light.

At this moment, the radish monster below was checking on the growth condition of the radishes.

Bathed and filled with green light, it waved its long tendrils, as if performing a water sleeve dance on the spot.

Green patterns like wheat field crop circles emerged on chunks of the suspended layer soil, connecting to each other, and finally converging into the radish monster, forming a complete closed loop.

"Terramorph completed."

Land God lowered his altitude and said to the radish monster, "From today onwards, the land I have marked for you will be under your guard. Do not neglect your duties, nor disappoint the trust of the chairman."

The radish monster raised its long tendrils, as if saluting and accepting commands from a superior officer.

Zhou Yi noticed that the radish monster had grown larger than a year ago, with more roots on its body and denser leaves on its head. It was unknown where it found a rope to wrap itself into a mini mummy.

He communicated through synchronized consciousness, "Radish monster, the company has decided to incorporate you into the company's land department, appointing you as the land management officer for the first ring road of Sand Port, with a provisional salary referring to that of senior agricultural personnel, 12 Light Seeds per year."

"There is a lot of land here, and your work will be hard. If you need anything, you can ask Land God. We will gradually equip you with some assistants and necessary tools."

"Yes! Thank you, chairman!"

After becoming an Earth-controlling creature, the radish monster emitted a green light, indicating that its life grade has been raised to at least D-class.

Zhou Yi then asked, "What have you been doing this past year? Tell me about it."

The radish monster chattered away.

Its story was fragmented, basically narrating a running account of each season, yet Zhou Yi still patiently listened through the entire process.

To summarize.

The radish monster did two things.

The first was continuing to grow radishes. As the suspended layer expanded, it also tended other radish fields, significantly increasing the yield of this layer's suspended farmland and producing more large Monster Radishes.

The second was that it collected the tendons left behind by naturally deceased Monster Radishes and twisted them into a long rope, wrapping it around itself.

"When there are more of these tendons, and I connect them to my body, I can hear the outside world's sounds."

"I can understand a very small part, and can even converse with them."

Zhou Yi asked the Land God beside him, "How does this work?"

Land God said, "I only understand the land. What kind of life the land gives rise to is not my field."

Zhou Yi stared at the radish tendon rope taken off by the radish monster.

Under the Alert perspective, there was no glowing phenomenon.

So, no energy reaction, just the material's own special properties?

Zhou Yi then activated Panoramic Reading.

A description emerged before his eyes.

[This material can absorb and link consciousness; it is a special natural material.]

The radish tendon, can it connect with consciousness?

Zhou Yi was startled.

He wrapped it around his arm, but he couldn't feel the so-called external consciousness voices.

Was it the wrong way to use it?

Zhou Yi asked the radish monster, "How do you do it?"

"I just wrap it with my roots, and that works."

The radish monster and radish tendon were naturally compatible.

While Zhou Yi was trying all methods to no avail, suddenly he heard Xiao Fu's voice in his mind.

"Try wrapping it around your head."

Zhou Yi did as told.

As the tendon wrapped around his forehead forming a special headband,

Suddenly it was as if a channel had opened in Zhou Yi's mind.

Various whispers interwove with each other.

"Quickly…"

"Die, die!"

"The world will end, I can't escape, neither can you, can't escape!"

"Hahaha ah hahah! I will not die; I am immortal and undying!"

The overlapping voices momentarily made Zhou Yi feel as if his consciousness was getting scrambled, so he quickly took it off.

"This world has finally produced something great!"

Reverse Flow, however, was extremely excited, "Da Zhou, this material can support consciousness links! Its application range is very broad, from low-level to high-level civilizations, levels one to three, all have great use."

"Because the operation and transmission of consciousness are not as direct or traceable as energy. If energy represents the objective flow, a pure motion, then consciousness is the result of continual collisions and random movements' trajectories."

"As long as thorough development is conducted, it can be of great use."

"It can serve as a medium for transmitting consciousness, similar to the blood vessels of consciousness, or extracorporeal brain nerves, building an extracorporeal consciousness circulation—even if the original support body for consciousness is damaged, it can substitute and repair it."

"Storing memories inside forms a closed loop; as long as this line is unbroken, memories can be retrieved at any time even if forgotten. This is greatly useful for pure consciousness entities like Concept Life."

"It can also, like the radish monster, connect with external consciousness, capture those consciousness fragments from outside and filter valuable information."

"Most importantly."

Xiao Fu paused, "This stuff is hugely beneficial for our treasure hunting; it can serve as a diagnostic tool to find treasure coordinates, confirming whether something is inside and what consciousness feedback it gives."

"Guardians will have consciousness movements, treasures will too, and past inhabitants' consciousness fragments will also remain in the spaces."

"This material is considered high-quality resource everywhere!"

Zhou Yi listened somewhat astonished.

Unexpectedly, this unassuming radish tendon had received unanimous affirmation from Reverse Flow and the Rock Core Clan.

He suddenly remembered.

Initially, the radish monster had said with assurance.

"The tendon of a giant radish is the material to transform the world…"

Indeed, it wasn't just a casual remark.
