Zhou Yi calmed down a little and thought for a while.

There were many corpses of the Heavenly People outside the Ring Solar Wall. This group didn't care about the corpses of their kind, not retrieving the valuable Energy Blue Gemstone, the Black Gemstone used as a consciousness linking tool, or the Ruby for memory storage.

But that place is very close to the sun.

If I bring a Heavenly Person corpse to Earth, it will be too conspicuous.

There will be unforeseeable risks.

If it catches the attention of other Heavenly People, it will be troublesome.

But giving up like this is not Zhou Yi's style.

After the Heavenly People die, their bodies drift out from the Ring Solar Wall, moving further away from the sun, following a natural outward movement.

Zhou Yi decided to go there and see for himself.

...

Back in Jade City, Zhou Yi directly connected to the Heavenly Person's body.

He entered that deep, pitch-black starry sky again.

The Heavenly Person Gem Body he controlled was still quietly floating, the surface gem ocean gently flowing.

Zhou Yi observed the external environment.

The nearby corpses hadn't changed much, except that the distance between them had become a bit greater.

The distant Ring Solar Wall had turned blue again, reverting to a pure energy cycle.

Zhou Yi decided to give it a try.

He pushed the Gem Body, moving in the opposite direction of the Ring Solar Wall.

During this process, he couldn't quantify his flight speed, but due to previously extending his consciousness outwards, he could clearly sense the positions of Mercury, Venus, and Earth. Once he locked onto coordinates, he had an autonomous flight position.

The Gem Body was highly intelligent; as long as commands were issued, various Gem Cells would automatically work.

Zhou Yi soon felt that the Gem Body's speed was too slow on a cosmic scale, and being too fast would easily expose him. At this rate, it might take a year and a half to reach the nearest Mercury.

Conventional methods don't seem to work.

Zhou Yi summoned Xiao Fu, asking if it had any ideas.

"Flying like this is too slow, Da Zhou. You need to find a space passage. Long-distance movement is done through space passages. Using large amounts of energy for acceleration not only consumes too much but also easily exposes you."

Reverse Flow said, "If we can find a nearby space passage that connects to Earth, you can be transmitted directly."

Zhou Yi hoped, "Can you find it?"

"I don't have that function or technology, but the Heavenly People have their passages."

Xiao Fu reminded, "Think about it. The Heavenly People can bring parts of their bodies to Earth; it's not ordinary long-distance flight projection. The Light Core Giant is actually a tool life they created using Gem Cells and then projected to Earth."

"Their main bodies need to be near the Ring Solar Wall to absorb energy or prepare for potential risks near Jupiter. To the Heavenly People, Earth poses no threat, so their main bodies wouldn't need or stay around here."

"When capturing Earth life, they can send lifeforms like Tietie, or project consciousness carriers like the Heavenly Dog."

"Each Heavenly Person's body must have such an access passage."

Zhou Yi suddenly realized.

Right.

I'm looking for glasses while wearing them.

He began to check and test.

The simplest way was to replicate the process that sent the Heavenly Dog to Earth. The entire operation was not complicated, just connecting the Black Gemstone fiber would do.

The problem was that there was no life form as a carrier now.

Zhou Yi tried, but a single Gemstone couldn't trigger the transmission mechanism.

The previously promising scenario was stuck at this stage.

He became ruthless.

No life? Then I'll make one with Gem Cells!!

I'll create a Light Core Giant!

However, how to specifically build it, Zhou Yi was clueless. He just found piles of White, Blue, and Black Gemstones and pieced together a lump of Gemstones.

But this thing didn't look like a living being.

Zhou Yi tried talking to it with the Black Gemstone, but as expected, there was no response.

He then assembled it according to the Light Core Giant structure in Panda Man Guan Zhong's memory. In total, about 1,200 Gemstones were used, and it was finally created.

A small head, a large body, with the surface completely composed of Blue Gemstones.

Each long arm had twelve wide fingers, and the legs looked rather uncoordinated.

Luckily, Zhou Yi had turned Guan Zhong into a Fire Seed Life and obtained its complete experiences, so the external structure was highly accurate.

As for the internal structure, Zhou Yi could only try one by one.

The usual method: inserting Black and White Gemstones inside... but none of the ratios seemed right.

Until Zhou Yi put the first harvested Faded Ruby inside, finally producing a special chemical reaction.

This odd giant seemed to be activated, starting to move, with all its Gemstones functioning and flowing. After self-adjusting for a while, the shape stabilized a bit, and the Gemstones on its body were fixed.

Zhou Yi tried talking to it with the Black Gemstone.

"Can you speak?"

"..."

The high-fidelity Light Core Giant he made had functional deficiencies; it couldn't speak, and its head was empty. Moreover, its body moved uncontrollably, looking like it was marching in place, not knowing what went wrong.

Regardless, he had created something that could barely count as a living being.

The conditions for deployment were met.

Zhou Yi first detached from the Heavenly People World.

Then he used Cat God's private line to contact the exclusive electric cat of the Shuanghe Region via signal, initiating a secret conversation with Duke Destructive.

This was a change Zhou Yi made after learning about the existence of ancient rulers.

The Great Holy Spirit could no longer protect personal privacy; the electric cat was the best choice. This technology system was developed and controlled by the company and was also safe.

"Are you serious? A Light Core Giant is going to land in the Shuanghe Region?"

Duke Destructive on the other end of the electric cat was shocked, "What's going on? What happened? Are we going to launch another ground purge?"

"It's not what you think."

Zhou Yi only said, "There's a scrapped Light Core Giant from the Heavenly People that will be landing on your side. I managed to get it through my connections. You should have a dedicated passage there, right? Just collect and store it, and I'll come to get it."

"You can get something like that?"

Duke Destructive was stunned, "Your connections are really powerful!!"

"Although it's a scrapped Light Core Giant, it was still made by the Heavenly People. In any case, the fewer people who know about this, the better."

Zhou Yi briefly explained the process in one sentence, then said, "The Mechanical Knight side has developed a secret technology called [Cultivation]... which requires a Light Core Giant as a carrier."

"That's why I went all out to get one, for them to use as a physical device, to see if it works."

There was a moment of silence from the other end, "...The outside world's evaluation of you is still too conservative."

Zhou Yi said, "This is urgent, so arrange it now."

"Rest assured, no outsiders will know."

Duke Destructive said, "The Heavenly People passage on this side is personally monitored by me; no one else can approach or enter."

"That's good."

After arranging the reception, Zhou Yi immediately initiated the deployment on the other side.

The deployment map instantly appeared in his mind.

Having sent the Heavenly Dog back to the ground before, he was already familiar with the process. There were two nearest deployment points to Sand Port: one in Coral Port, the other in the Shuanghe Region.

After locking onto the deployment site.

The familiar countdown sounded again.

"223, 222..."

"Projection start."

Zhou Yi's vision blurred, and he arrived in a bright cave.

Above was a high cave opening, with lamps fixed on the stone walls.

The Light Core Giant, over a hundred meters tall, wouldn't be able to stretch in here.

Zhou Yi regained his omnidirectional vision, with every Gem Cell in his body becoming his sensor.

The Light Core Giant he made had a strength that barely reached the Light Core Body threshold. However, in other aspects, it was a mess, with no abilities or features to speak of.

Even walking was a struggle.

Zhou Yi feared falling with every step, so he stayed still.

Interestingly, even though it was composed of Gem Cells, exposure to air didn't affect the Light Core Giant.

From the Ruby's memory, parts of the Heavenly People's bodies became sand upon landing in the Dead Sea.

Was it the unique structure of the Light Core Giant, or an optimized outer construction?

Zhou Yi soon discovered that the Giant's surface Blue Gemstone formed a high-pressure field, creating a natural isolation barrier with the outside world, a very thin layer, but enough.

The Light Core Giant was a direct medium, surpassing carrier forms like the Heavenly Dog. It could directly transmit life forms into the Heavenly People's body.

He thought of the battlefield in Guan Zhong's memory, where the Panda Men were devoured one by one by the Light Core Giant—actually transmitted to the Heavenly People's body for experimentation, research, or transformation.

Zhou Yi felt a bit pleased.

He had touched upon the secrets of the Heavenly People Gemstone.

Refocusing, he looked around the cave.

Duke Destructive stood alone before him.

Still in his boyish doll-like body.

Those painted eyes looked at him.

Duke Destructive's jaw moved as if to speak but finally kept silent.

Zhou Yi raised his wide hand, folding twelve fingers into a thumbs-up.

Then he disconnected.

...

The Light Core Giant's hand gesture made Duke Destructive faintly feel it represented some friendly signal.

But the next moment, the Giant suddenly stiffened, waving its arms and marching on the spot, looking like it was performing a bizarre dance.

A dancing giant?

Duke Destructive was a bit confused.

They said it was a scrapped giant; it seems it indeed had some malfunction.

Duke Destructive's thoughts grew firmer.

Zhou Yi is undoubtedly a Heavenly Person.

He followed a path of native commoners' development, pushing the world's progress, unlike the traditionally aloof Heavenly People... Heavenly People must have internal conflicts and old-new divisions.

Duke Destructive silently thought.

It's gods fighting in the sky.

Having chosen my side, there's only one path forward.

I must securely follow Zhou Yi's footsteps, to have a place in the future Heavenly People's struggle!
