Zhou Yi called the Minister of Power, You Ai.

"I need 150... no, 148 electric cats. They need to work for me exclusively for a long time. How soon can you gather the cats for me?"

The Minister of Power replied, "Chairman, we have enough B-grade electric cats, but we are still short on A-grade ones."

"All A-grade working electric cats are paired with Electric Tamers and are responsible for supporting the core power grids in various regions. The gap is still significant."

Xiao Fu said, "It's okay, B-grade will do. The important thing now is to establish the Spark Civilization first. Reinforcements can come later."

Following Zhou Yi's order, the Power Department retrieved 148 electric cats from the Shining Spirit group.

Under the guidance of the electric cat instructor Pikachu, they merged one by one into Zhou Yi's shoulder.

As the number of cat-head tattoos increased, they immediately connected with Shining Spirit 17 and Shining Spirit 18. They all shrank into silver dots, forming a neat electronic icon, resembling a kind of QR code.

The silver dots on the icon slowly moved on the skin, creating irregular movements due to their collisions.

However, these activities were confined within the frame of the icon.

Zhou Yi clearly sensed that these dots were the electric cats. They interacted and communicated with each other, and the dynamic graphic on the shoulder's skin was the manifestation of their current state.

"Can you feel it, Da Zhou? The fire seeds of the electric cats are now interacting and reorganizing."

"Give them some time. The nurturing of a civilization takes some time."

Xiao Fu provided technical guidance, "At this moment, no external force should intervene. Allow them to naturally complete their connection and aggregation to ensure the civilization has vitality and diversity. Forced directional influence can lower their potential, leading to rebellion and resistance."

Zhou Yi asked, "So should I add some Light Seeds to them now?"

"No need."

Very soon, Zhou Yi noticed that the area with the electric cats on his shoulder began to heat up.

The small silver dots formed by the electric cats had internal conflicts and opposition, and were colliding fiercely, with distinct lines of division appearing in some areas.

He was a little shocked, "I remember the Shining Spirit group being gentle and timid, yet they are having such a large-scale brawl."

"Of course,"

Reverse Flow said, "As long as the number increases, there will be differences and conflicts within a life group, but these conflicts are also the beginning of change."

"Without conflict and contradiction, it would become stagnant water, and the diverse movement of life would also come to a halt. Just like the Cave People, even without external threats, they would perish over time."

Zhou Yi thought of human history.

A prolonged period of stability would lead people in a region to stagnation. Many ancient nations in history fell behind other places for this reason and eventually turned to dust in wars and natural disasters.

On the contrary, regions constantly facing natural and man-made disasters developed resilient and strong peoples.

The electric cats, when united for long, eventually split, and when split for long, eventually unite.

The whole group would sometimes be at each other's throats, and at other times, they would get along like brothers, fighting and reconciling, then fighting again.

Zhou Yi could clearly feel these changes.

When they fought internally, the skin on his shoulder would continuously heat up, even causing sharp pain spreading throughout his body.

When their relationship improved, he felt a pleasant tingling sensation, like being taken care of by a master masseur, making him feel completely relaxed.

The whole process lasted for two and a half days.

Then the abnormality on his shoulder disappeared.

At this moment, Zhou Yi saw.

The electric cats' memory cores were closely linked, with 150 memory cores forming a transparent glass building.

Each room was a memory core, with the consciousness of an electric cat inhabiting it. They lived in this building, able to visit each other and interact.

This memory core building created by the electric cats was still growing and extending outward.

Larger glass tube-shaped memory cores were gradually being constructed at the top of the building, but these memory cores were currently empty. The electric cats moved Black and White Consciousness Keys from their memory cores and worked together on building the interior.

Zhou Yi quietly observed from above.

Each electric cat wrapped a Consciousness Key in an electrical arc, connecting them together, building bridges and roads within the memory cores.

The work was not easy, as the Consciousness Keys naturally floated and moved. The electric cats collaborated, with some holding one side of the Consciousness Key and others connecting it, piecing the Consciousness Keys together into a mortise-and-tenon structure for stability.

After constructing a basic platform, they slowly assembled and extended the Consciousness Keys outward.

The speed of consciousness movement was much faster than that of material. The electric cats' actions seemed to be crazily accelerated, as quick as lightning.

Zhou Yi asked Xiao Fu, "The top layer they are constructing is the public consciousness area?"

"Yes. The source of the civilized concept comes from individual life forms. These life forms need to be assembled into a cohesive form, and once formed, continuous evolution occurs due to changes in individual thoughts."

"Da Zhou, what we can do now is observe and not interfere."

Reverse Flow imparted his wisdom, "The combination and establishment of each Spark Civilization is a new beginning."

This was going more smoothly than expected. Reverse Flow continued, "I thought it would take longer. When I constructed a Spark Civilization before, it took me over ten years. Energy State Life is indeed privileged... The most advantageous aspect is that this group, nurtured by the company, also has intellectual and cognitive development."

"While the concept substance has not yet been born."

"Da Zhou, you now have two choices."

Xiao Fu explained, "The first choice is to maintain the purity of the electric cat group, with the Spark Civilization constructed entirely by the electric cats."

"The advantage is that they are of the same species, making the creation of concept substances predictable and one hundred percent compatible with the electric cats."

"The disadvantage is the lack of variation. What the electric cats fear, the concept substance will also fear."

"The second choice is to mix in minority groups. Using electric cats as the main body, adding something like Tietie would increase their diversity, and abilities could be shared."

"The advantage of this is greater diversity, resulting in more unique and rare concept substances."

"The disadvantage is different groups need to blend with each other, leading to unpredictable results. You might get excellent concept substances, or incredibly useless Concept Life."

"These two directions must be decided from the beginning. Once you decide, the concept substance will have its initial form. If you go with pure electric cats, you can't mix in other groups later. If you mix in other life forms, you will need to periodically supplement minority groups in the future as well."

Zhou Yi fell into contemplation.

His initial thought was to prioritize stability, considering it was his first time dealing with Spark Civilization.

It seemed better to create an electric cat concept substance first and see how it goes.

But.

This thought brought the experiences of the Cave People to his mind.

Despite being strong, the Cave People, who created formidable civilizations and technologies, fell into crisis due to their overly homogeneous life forms.

Although he didn't know if Spark Life would face a similar predicament.

Zhou Yi ultimately decided to pursue the path of diversity!

Draw a card.

"I have decided to merge in the Mic Master, Tietie, and Rock Core Clan."

"Are you going to integrate Concept Life as well?"

Reverse Flow reminded, "They are extremely precious, natural concept substances, and the foundation of civilization creation. Once integrated into the Spark Civilization, they will consume this characteristic, unable to create their own civilization... unless you dismantle the Spark Civilization in the future."

"Consume the characteristic?"

Zhou Yi frowned, "Do you mean its BGM ability will disappear?"

"That's not what I mean. When integrated into the Spark Civilization, it becomes part of that civilization, connecting and binding with the electric cats."

Xiao Fu explained, "Originally, you could make the Mic Master the foundation of an independent civilization. For example, constructing a Spark Civilization, using a large number of compatible life forms with music as their strength, the more they are, the stronger the Mic Master becomes."

Zhou Yi sighed in relief.

That wouldn't be a problem.

The future is the future's matter.

For Zhou Yi, one Spark Civilization was enough. He couldn't handle too much at once, and juggling multiple tasks was not his forte.

Nevertheless, Zhou Yi first sought the opinions of Tietie, Mic Master, and the Rock Core Clan and informed them of the Spark Civilization mechanism.

"Can I chat and live with many electric cats? I definitely want to go!"

Tietie, a former Heavenly People experiment subject, said, "I want to participate! Being alone is too lonely! The more, the merrier! Let's make some noise together!"

The Mic Master said, "Music's meaning lies in sharing and spreading. I wish to join and spread my music!"

T was succinct, "Order received."

All three were willing.

Only then did Zhou Yi connect their memory cores with the Electric Cat Building.

Passages between memory cores opened immediately.

Zhou Yi watched as Tietie, a young woman, climbed the stairs of Consciousness Keys to the top-level public area of the building. Although her eyes were closed, and she couldn't hear, there were no physiological limitations within the memory core, allowing all consciousnesses to exchange information freely.

She quickly became acquainted with an electric cat that liked to sit on her head, turning into a hat weaved from electrical arcs.

Tietie smiled happily, spreading her arms and walked briskly along the stairs of Consciousness Keys.

The Mic Master integrated seamlessly. Electric cats surrounded this BMG warrior with a player's appearance. Notes popped out of their heads, moving their arcs to the music rhythm, seemingly enjoying the beat.

The white stone ball of the Rock Core Clan initially appeared out of place but soon earned the high regard of the electric cats for its Panoramic Reading ability, guiding them in the right direction and ruling out failed paths.

It became the most popular guide master.

Integration wasn't as challenging as Xiao Fu described.

After another day passed.

The public memory core area at the top of the Electric Cat Building was finally completed, transforming into an oval-shaped large memory core. It was filled with double-helix structured Consciousness Keys, resembling a complex version of a roller-coaster track inside.

Each Consciousness Key staircase converged at the central hub, the source and beginning of public consciousness.

A cluster of white light appeared on its mortise-and-tenon structure.

"That's it."

"The concept substance has formed!"

Xiao Fu exclaimed joyfully, "Da Zhou, you can move it from the memory core to the material world and see its true form, starting its projection here."

Zhou Yi's heart surged with excitement.

This was the concept substance he had cultivated himself. He wondered what it would be.

He dived into the public consciousness area, reaching out to touch the cluster of white light.

With a thought.

Zhou Yi opened his eyes to find a black card in his hand.
