Zhou Yi looked at the book-eating demon in the form of a female nurse: "Can you convert consciousness fragments into electrical signals?"

The other replied, "If I merge with the electric cat, I can do it."

Zhou Yi opened the tablet and accessed the "Electric Cat Bible" program, typing on the notification channel.

[Pikachu, return immediately.]

Two seconds later.

Pikachu transformed into a bolt of lightning and flew to Zhou Yi's presence: "Chairman, I'm here!"

Zhou Yi said to the book-eating demon: "This is Pikachu, try working with it."

"No problem."

The book-eating demon extended a hand: "Please tell it to make contact with me."

Zhou Yi repeated the request.

As soon as they touched, Pikachu's body lit up with bright light.

"Wow! She is also… no, she can only convert into electricity... what a wondrous form."

The electric cat said, "I understand her meaning!"

At the same time.

Zhou Yi heard another encrypted communication through Pikachu in his mind.

"Chairman, her true form is not this human body. I have uploaded her voltage and current data to the Electric Cat Bible and requested verification from the Power Department and the Recursive City Data Center. We just received a definitive response."

"They inferred that the series of electrical charge changes she created originated from electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves are her real form, and this human body is just a carrier. Or, more precisely, she should be considered a wave that can convert into an electromagnetic wave form, and then transform into an electromagnetic field to connect with us."

Zhou Yi's face remained calm, but his mind was in turmoil.

No wonder they couldn't find the book-eating demon's true body.

This creature actually turned into a wave life form.

Its true form cannot be captured by the naked eye.

Zhou Yi communicated synchronously through his consciousness: "Is it dangerous for you to interface with her?"

"Not at all."

Pikachu said: "We are energy state lifeforms, essentially energy in motion. She wants us to act as her relay station. Some of her electrical signals will enter us and be preserved by us."

"On the other hand, she wants to release information through us. We act like mechanical stackers, helping her transmit and retrieve information more quickly."

"Her ability is very special, similar to an electric cat. Frequent contact with her can help us expand our own capabilities too."

Zhou Yi immediately had a plan.

The book-eating demon across from him, seeing his prolonged silence, added: "Of course, using an electric cat for free isn't possible. I am willing to share the 'Book of All Living Beings' with you, so you can consult it anytime."

"It contains records and documentation of many important figures, the kind that you can't find in the Mechanical City database, but my book has them."

Zhou Yi said: "I would like to try reading it first."

"No problem."

The book-eating demon handed over a thick leather-bound book.

Text appeared in front of Zhou Yi's eyes.

[This substance has a strong capacity for information transmission.]

[This substance has a special information structure that can continuously evolve and synchronize a large amount of information, the principle of which is unknown.]

Panoramic reading confirmed that the book is continually updating.

However, it wasn't a physical object, more like a projection of consciousness similar to the cat gods' badges.

The book-eating demon said: "It's very simple to use. Touch it, and silently recite the name of what you want to find, and you will locate the relevant page."

Zhou Yi silently said, Heavenly People.

A glossary of [Heavenly People] appeared on the book page in his hand.

...

[Heavenly People]: True name unknown. A powerful extraterrestrial life group that appeared after the Circular Flow impact, primarily manifesting by projecting onto native life forms. The highest rulers on Earth's material side, they collect various Earth life forms for secret experiments and rarely reveal themselves publicly.

Danger Level: EX (immeasurable)

[Descent Records]

[First War Against Heavenly People]

[Second War Against Heavenly People]

...

Zhou Yi was somewhat surprised that there had been two large-scale wars against Heavenly People.

He looked at the first sub-entry.

A flood of text immediately appeared in his mind.

「The first resistance war was initiated by the concept life forms [Sun God]and[Dragon]. It started because the concept life forms, worshipped by numerous beings due to their divinity, were hunted and oppressed by the Light Core Giants. The goal was to reduce the influence of concept life forms on native beings, monopolizing divine authority and prohibiting unrecognized concept life forms from being deified.」

「During this period, the concept life forms faced intense resistance as they were expelled, captured, and hunted. However, this repeated predation weakened their power, ultimately forcing them to retreat to the Great Holy Spirit and consciousness side. Since then, concept life forms rarely set foot on the material side.」

「After securing divine authority, the Heavenly People dispatched Golden-faced Guards to collect humans and Guangna Species from various places under the guise of divine envoys, for unknown purposes.」

「This divine authority phase lasted about 200 years until the end of the second resistance war against the Heavenly People.」

Zhou Yi couldn't help but think of Tietie.

She was a new human created during the divine authority phase, experimented on by the Heavenly People to make glass people.

He didn't expect that Dragon was an old veteran of the resistance army.

Zhou Yi remembered what Dragon once said.

"I never thought that in this day and age, some people still see the dragon as a god."

"When there is no hope for the future, the only way to live is by relying on the past."

No wonder Dragon always seemed downhearted; when Zhou Yi offered opportunities, it retorted cynically. Dragon had once fiercely resisted, only to be slaughtered repeatedly before being forced to hide on the Forbidden Continent.

Zhou Yi continued reading.

The second resistance war, he was more familiar with.

It began when the Taishan Knight Order led the Mechanical City to rise suddenly, becoming one of the most powerful forces on Earth within a few years. Young leaders with sharp vigor like the Black Emperor, Old King, and Warlord appeared on the scene.

They completed resource integrations in various regions, reaching unprecedented peaks in productivity and combat power since the Wasteland era began. With grand ambitions, they aimed to expel the monopolistic divine authority of the Heavenly People and colonize the land.

This war was more intense, with a broader impact and longer duration.

Although they ultimately lost the war, it ended the divine authority system of the Heavenly People.

The Heavenly People no longer used the guise of gods and relinquished direct control over worldly affairs, reducing direct conflicts with native beings. Instead, they issued orders through the Heavenly Kingdom and Mechanical City, acquiring what they needed.

From then on, Wasteland Earth entered a period of stability.

The saying goes, the timid starve, the bold prosper.

The Night God, an external conceptual life form, established the Night Church immediately after the war. With no competitors, the church grew rapidly in this sphere.

...

Zhou Yi flipped through a few entries, acknowledging that the "Book of All Living Beings" was indeed priceless.

Unlike the Great Holy Spirit, using this book to look up information was simpler and more convenient. There was no need to enter public consciousness nodes and laboriously mine for data, which might not even be useful.

Besides.

The "Book of All Living Beings" was not subject to regulation, allowing access to various sensitive content.

It could cross-verify information against the Great Holy Spirit's intelligence.

Moreover, the concept of information-side thrown out by the book-eating demon, although seemingly a bit like a hoax, intrigued Zhou Yi.

He immediately reached out his hand: "Then, pleasant cooperation."

The book-eating demon shook hands with him joyfully, smiling: "With the assistance of your company's working electric cat, the 'Book of All Living Beings' will rapidly expand! I want the books I write to record the truest form of this world!"

Zhou Yi also nodded: "Looking forward to the early establishment of the information side."

"That will take some time…" the book-eating demon responded. "By the way, Mr. Zhou, please keep my identity confidential."

"No problem."

...

After finalizing the basic cooperation principles, Zhou Yi brought in Xiao Tao and Xiao Chu to discuss the matter of Divine Clothing.

"Customizing Divine Clothing is a good idea."

Xiao Tao's eyes lit up: "New clothes that make you the center of attention wherever you go have immense value in many occasions. They can directly tell others what kind of person you are and even include a self-lie detector. It's very useful for making friends and negotiating deals."

"Chairman, if we agree to all wear Divine Clothing during business negotiations to ensure the authenticity of each other's information, the chances of successful deals would significantly increase."

"Many high-status clients have often complained to me about how tiring it is to negotiate cooperation deals. Especially for larger deals, it could drag on for long, with everyone hiding and unwilling to speak the truth. Skywalkers can impose restrictions, but their numbers are few, while sea lords lying and boasting is just too common. They are the main real power holders everywhere."

The young designer proposed: "Chairman, we can use a slogan stating that these clothes are made for honesty and wisdom. To reduce needless deceit and improve efficient cooperation and social interaction."

Zhou Yi nodded: "That's a good approach."

"Chairman..."

Xiao Chu asked cautiously: "Wouldn't the Bird God get angry?"

"No, I'll have her explain it to you. Just a moment."

Zhou Yi contacted the book-eating demon through Pikachu.

A moment later.

Xiao Chu scratched his head and awkwardly smiled: "The deity informed me that a co-branded Divine Clothing is indeed to be made. I was overthinking it."

Zhou Yi wasn't concerned: "Xiao Tao, what do you think is an appropriate price for Divine Clothing?"

The young girl thought for a moment: "Currently, we can prioritize selling them to sea lords."

"Let's set it at 100 Light Seeds initially. How about that? It's not overly expensive, but not cheap either, aligning with the status of the sea lords."

"Okay."

Zhou Yi considered: "As Xiao Chu will be personally crafting the Divine Clothing, let's follow the company patent royalty rule—5% of the profit from each piece will go to you."

Xiao Chu hurriedly shook his head: "Chairman, this Divine Clothing is made by the deity through me. I don't have this capability on my own."

"I've discussed it with the deity, and this is our joint decision."

The young tailor was stunned for a moment.

"Just accept it," Xiao Tao urged beside him. "These are company rules."

Only then did Xiao Chu nod quickly.

He suddenly showed a bit of hesitation and finally said: "Chairman, how should I address the deity? I tried to ask before, but she never answered. It feels somewhat improper and disrespectful without a proper name."

"Hold on."

Zhou Yi turned and asked the book-eating demon: "Someone's asking your name. Give a name, any alias will do."

"Hmm..."

That side gave a name.

"Huh?"

Zhou Yi was skeptical: "That's not your name, is it? You're using someone else's title. There's a legend about this name in old human mythology. Aren't you afraid the actual owner might come looking to fight you?"

"Right now, no one knows. The old beings of the past are still dormant in the Great Holy Spirit. It's fine, just use this name."

"..."

Zhou Yi muttered to himself.

Who're you calling old! The youth in the Wasteland era have no respect...

Zhou Yi turned to Xiao Chu and said solemnly: "Her name is "Weaver Girl."

"Weaver Girl... Weaver Girl..."

Xiao Chu was briefly stunned: "What a beautiful name. Thank you, Chairman, I understand now!"
