"The characteristic of Light Amber is to change the movement of energy."

The Leshan Buddha said, "This characteristic resonates with me, allowing me to reverse the annihilating impact on life."

"In the past, I couldn't set foot in the Dead Sea. Now, it is within the Dead Sea that I can fully display this ability, leveraging the great power within the Dead Sea to alter the trajectory of existing energy."

The colossal stone Buddha slowly stepped into the Dead Sea.

Mist engulfed its feet, waist, abdomen, and upper body, leaving only the white Buddha head, covered with spirals, exposed.

Suddenly, a mighty force pulled within the Dead Sea, dispelling a large swath of fog around the stone Buddha, which then revolved around it, turning the Buddha into a giant eye of the storm.

The Dead Sea, within a thousand meters radius, was dispersed by its sheer strength, revealing the desolate, greyish-brown seabed, and the ruins of old human buildings buried under the dust.

The Leshan Buddha clasped its hands together in prayer.

The dispersed mist of the Dead Sea seemed like being blocked by an invisible barrier, forcibly changing its direction here.

The Buddha returned to its previous position.

The transformed vortex of the Dead Sea continued to operate, not returning to its original state.

This scene left Zhou Yi greatly astonished: "Can you completely change the way energy moves?"

"Not for too long, I can sustain it for about 10 days."

The Buddha said, "To completely change the movement of the Dead Sea zone, I'm not yet capable, I need further cultivation."

"I used Light Amber to construct circles of special tracks on the seabed, allowing the Dead Sea energy to move along them."

"But these tracks will gradually break down and collapse under the impact of the Dead Sea, unable to last long. The strength of Light Core Bodies is still too insignificant in the face of the Dead Sea."

The Buddha sighed.

But Zhou Yi saw a spark of hope: "It's already very powerful, Buddha! Remarkable ability!"

"As long as you continue to cultivate and grow, one day, you will definitely have the chance to transform the entire Dead Sea, making it a huge treasure for all life!"

Xiao Fu's insight is indeed sharp.

But the Buddha felt a bit embarrassed: "Zhou Yi Buddha, your praise is too much."

"Compared to my current small strength, I will continue to toil in this direction, cultivate for the transformation of the Dead Sea."

Zhou Yi firmly said, "That day will come."

Comparing the Buddha's ability to an Electric Soul would be an understatement.

Its power will be used in the future transformation of the Dead Sea.

Although similarly catalyzed through Cave Man Energy Blocks to reach the Light Core Body stage, the overpass and the Buddha took different branches.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but ask, "Did you choose the element of Light Amber voluntarily, or was there another reason?"

The Buddha said, "It was the result of my discussion with Zhi."

"Why choose this way?"

Zhou Yi was curious.

"Walking in the Dead Sea, Light Soot, and Light Amber are the most common substances."

The Buddha explained, "Zhi suggested I choose Light Amber."

"The advantage of Light Soot is that the quantity is vast and has strong extensibility."

"The advantage of Light Amber, on the other hand, is its higher energy density and intensity. The energy conduction in the Dead Sea largely relies on Light Amber, which settles and disperses on the seabed, evolving natural energy movement patterns in certain parts, significantly affecting the overall flow of the Dead Sea."

"Zhi is a Condenser, with a deep understanding of energy."

"It told me that, although I am not good at fighting, the less a life form wants to fight, the more it needs powerful strength to maintain itself. Energy manipulation is the best guarantee. Light Amber is more suitable for me than Light Soot."

"I believe it was right, and the result exceeded our original expectations."

"The Light Amber shell is highly compatible with energy, allowing the energy state Zhi to operate near my surface. The light on my head is it."

So, that's how it is.

Zhou Yi nodded continuously as he listened.

The combination of building life forms and energy state life forms seemed quite effective.

"Zhi, you did very well."

"Thank you, Chairman. This is my duty; I and the Buddha are one." The Condenser responded.

However, because the Buddha took a different path, it did not have the ability to seek Space Bubbles and Space Holes, only a high sensitivity to energy and strong control.

The Buddha said, "Zhou Yi Buddha, I want to start my Dead Sea cultivation and journey. This is a field I have never stepped into; I want to see firsthand what happens in the Dead Sea and how various lives survive under its influence."

Zhou Yi responded readily, "Of course, I wish you a smooth journey. If you encounter any trouble you can't solve, come back. The company is your backing; I will help you wholeheartedly."

"Zhou Yi Buddha, thank you very much for your trust and understanding."

The Buddha faced Zhou Yi, clasped its hands in prayer, and bowed its enormous body to him.

"Then I'll be off."

"Wait a moment."

Zhou Yi reminded, "Your current appearance is too conspicuous, with your whole body made of high-purity Light Amber and a Condenser on your head... it's better to go with your previous look, act low-key when you're out."

"You are right, I didn't consider this well."

The Buddha came to its senses.

After speaking, the Leshan Buddha's body slowly darkened and turned gray, soon returning to its previous appearance. The enormous black coat made of Light Soot Sand, with a large "Do not fight" on the chest and "If angry, come at me" on the back, all over its body were glowing alien characters, like scriptures covering a monk's robe.

To Zhou Yi's surprise, these alien characters began to twist gradually, transforming into the common language of the East Continent.

He was somewhat astonished: "You... you learned the East Continent language?"

"I know a little."

The Buddha smiled and said, "Unlike other alien employees, who are busy, I spent most of my time getting familiar with the alien language. By consulting Jade City and Shi Gandang, based on the alien language, I mastered some basic vocabulary of the East Continent language, but unfortunately, I don't know the Western Continent language yet."

This is already quite impressive.

Zhou Yi muttered to himself, the Buddha's growth potential is indeed high.

The Buddha turned and walked towards the Dead Sea; its towering figure gradually disappeared into the endless white mist.

This scene left the employees of the Moon Landing Area speechless, with everyone discussing it.

"Is the Buddha... committing suicide?"

"No, didn't you see the Chairman beside him? The Buddha just changed his appearance; he should be going for Sea Entry cultivation."

"Another alien able to operate in the Dead Sea, the Chairman is too strong..."

"But Jade City wasn't promoted; it wasn't the first, nor the second, could it have made a mistake?"

"I'm just saying, Jade City's building No. 9 hasn't started for a long time, you get what I mean..."

"Gasp! So it really got demoted!"

"Shush, be cautious with your words..."

These idle chit-chats, Zhou Yi no longer cared about.

He ventured into the Space Bubble beneath the Moon Landing Area, first confirming the loss.

The newly extracted energy blocks were significantly shrunk, dropping directly from LV4 to LV2, becoming regular hexahedrons with only 1 core energy level.

Zhou Yi felt a pinch of pain.

Creating alien employees into Light Core Bodies was indeed high-cost.

Different building lives seemed to consume different amounts.

The overpass consumed the equivalent of 3 cores of energy, while the Buddha consumed 4 cores.

The energy block consumption was immense.

Zhou Yi pondered, needing to find another time to deploy the false leg, let it continue to work and dig for energy blocks.

At this time, the Red Kestrel flew over: "Zhou, the United City sent an emergency signal; Kunming Station requests an immediate conversation with you. There's been no response from your end."

"Connect it."

Zhou Yi nodded.

A voice came through the drone's speaker: "Mr. Zhou, you've made another breakthrough in the field of building life forms, congratulations."

Indeed, it was about this matter.

United City is an important strategic partner of the Wasteland Company, intending to have an extensive cooperation in the field of building life forms in the future, with substantial potential as well.

Zhou Yi didn't hide it, briefly explaining the entire situation.

"Light Core Body building life!"

The voice from Kunming Station was accompanied by background noise, as if different audio tracks were unsynchronized.

"Apologies, numerous consciousnesses inside the machine body fluctuated... this matter is quite significant... causing some internal cognitive collisions."

Zhou Yi told the other party, "Actually, the whole process is not easy to achieve; it requires the Cave Man Energy Block, a combination of massive energy and consciousness. This type of Light Core Level energy resource is currently very scarce."

"Understood... but this is wonderful, truly wonderful!"

Kunming Station came back and said, "Building life forms, indeed, aren't limited to atmospheric creatures only; retaining existing material bodies can also advance further! You've given us confidence and a successful precedent!"

"However, your consecutive creation of two Light Core Bodies might have attracted the attention of the Heavenly Kingdom or even the Heavenly People. Aren't you worried about this?"

Zhou Yi indicated, "Don't worry, the Heavenly People don't actually care. In their eyes, this world has no opponents, just various life forms to utilize."

He repeated the words spoken by the Warlord.

"16 Transformers..."

Kunming Station murmured, "Indeed, there's no need to worry about this world. In a way, this is a good thing, but this disparity is far greater than I anticipated."

When the gap between sides is too large, there aren't any conflict of interests.

At least, for now, the Heavenly People don't care how many Light Core Bodies there are on this side. To them, at this level, it's just tools that can be made casually.

Their attention is on the Ring Solar Wall and the Jupiter that fills them with fear and vigilance.

Zhou Yi asked about his concern: "What is the current status of recruiting wild building life forms?"

For this matter, the company dispatched scavenging teams led by Building No. 7, the electric cat, and Akin, but the specific planning was handled by United City.

It had been over two months, yet there was no news.

"Several independent building lives have already been visited."

Kunming Station said, "They're still considering it. The electric cat's technology and Electric Tamer are things they've never encountered, but their fear of the Dead Sea remains deeply ingrained."

"Currently, two seem more inclined, but no final decision yet."

Zhou Yi felt relieved at the steady progress.

Kunming Station continued, "There's one more very important matter."

"The Legal Front just notified United City to prepare for city defense and security because it expects some unpredictable changes ahead."

"This is also why I contacted you."

"It seems they have taken some special action; be cautious on your end."

Zhou Yi said, "Understood, thank you."

Just an hour later,

The Legal Front issued an announcement.

The two Mechanical Cities of Turbo City and Gear Castle, which were occupied by external forces, were forcibly recaptured, officially announced as rejoining the Mechanical City, and joining the Legal Front.

Turbo City's former ruler, Lord Dominator, was severely injured, with over 2000 casualties among his troops, as Lord Dominator announced his surrender.

The occupant of Gear Castle, Lord Aspirer, was killed on the spot, his territory taken over by the Legal Front.

The announcement concluded with:

——Any invasion and plundering behavior towards Mechanical Cities are unforgivable and unacceptable, we will spare no effort to reclaim our territories and people.

——Invaders, you only have two choices. Either surrender or be driven out by the Legal Front's force.
