"Let me take you to my home."

Night God continued to walk forward, passing the twin black and red towers, and saw another gemstone device not far ahead.

It was much smaller and fully embedded in the Klip Rock, in a pit that was nearly impossible to notice without close inspection.

"I woke up here."

Night God pointed to the pit, where there was a transparent ceiling made of gemstone cells, underneath which lay a small space.

Suspended inside were two eyeball-like objects, also made of gemstone structure, connected by a thread in between.

The surfaces of the Gem Eyes had pupils made of fibers, divided into black and red. Those pupils were still slowly expanding and contracting, as if alive.

Night God looked down: "Do you know what this is?"

Zhou Yi had seen something similar.

In Tietie's memories, she had been sent to a chained rack by the Heavenly People, where there were also two Gem Eyes. They were selecting and scanning each life form that was placed in chains.

But those two Gem Eyes had green pupils, with Green Gemstone embedded inside. They were also very large.

The ones in front of them had black and red pupils, many in number, as if numerous eyes were fixed onto them.

Zhou Yi said, "It should be some sort of observation tool or life form. I heard about it from a human who was used in experiments by the Heavenly People."

Night God showed a slight surprise: "There are people who survived from the Heavenly People?"

"Yes."

Zhou Yi explained: "As far as I know, some of the Heavenly People are very lenient towards lower beings, at least from their perspective. I'm not sure if this is an isolated incident or a common behavior."

The other party exclaimed: "You know much more about the Heavenly People than I expected."

Zhou Yi brought the conversation back on track: "So, what is this?"

"This is my body."

Night God looked at the transparent container, at the pair of Gem Eyes made of gemstone cells: "I woke up here. But I don't know where I came from or what I am supposed to do. It seems that I don't need to do anything to just keep on living. I've spent many years here, and if you don't do anything, the time actually passes quickly..."

"Later, I climbed up and saw the twin towers and then suddenly understood; I have something to do with them. Either I'm here to guard the twin towers or they are here to guard me."

"After that, I went to Earth. There, I learned that my birthplace is called the Moon, that I was born on the Moon, but unlike naturally born creatures. On Earth, by reading the knowledge of old humans, I learned a lot."

"The surface of the Moon has a very thick layer. Normally, a thickness of 50 kilometers is enough to prevent any external impact, then there's the 1000-kilometer Moon Mantle. The deeper you go, the stronger the pressure becomes for both matter and consciousness, so this distance is a forbidden zone for life."

She stepped on the Klip Rock with her embroidered shoes: "These are very sturdy. The deeper it gets, the sturdier it is."

"This place is 1000 kilometers underground."

"So I felt assured to stay on Earth for a long time because this place is too desolate and I was bored alone. Earth is bustling; over there, whether it's war, death, festivals, rebirth, harvest, or disasters, there are always lots of people celebrating."

As Night God spoke, she seemed to become happier.

"But when I returned to the Moon, I suddenly discovered that there was life on the surface here. Those Moon Beasts, they are digging holes everywhere, and they are getting deeper... Some of them even gave birth to Light Core Bodies and were very close to this place."

"If this continues, they will eventually dig to the world's deepest point and enter here. At that time, my immobile body would be damaged. That's when I realized that my mission from birth was to ensure that this place remains unchanged."

At this point, she sighed again: "I am the Great Holy Spirit here, and the consciousness of the Moon Beasts is part of mine. If I want to deal with them, it equals self-harm. When I told you before that I would be weakened by the Great Holy Spirit's sanction, this is what I meant."

"Only by leaving here and going to Earth can I act with the self-consciousness of the Night God. That's my pure self part. And as soon as I return here, I become the Great Holy Spirit of the Moon, like a prisoner locked here."

Zhou Yi listened silently.

The Moon Beasts were to the Night God as cancer cells were to a patient. Her method was to somehow lure them to kill each other, inciting the destroyer to go mad, which is why the Moon Beasts called her "Death Cult."

"The first time I saw you, I felt a strange feeling, you and I are very similar... Have you had a similar experience? Were you also a created being?"

Night God suddenly asked.

Zhou Yi said: "I haven't had experiences like yours. I am a human."

Nevertheless, the other party told her true story sincerely and showed her most secret home.

Zhou Yi also spoke directly: "I am a surviving old human from the Circular Flow Impact, aside from developing the Wasteland, I am also investigating the reason for the destruction of old human civilization."

"Old human?!"

Night God was briefly stunned and immediately examined him from all sides: "No wonder you understand old human knowledge so well... To survive the Circular Flow Impact, even Light Core Bodies shouldn't have been able to survive. Its explosion is pure consciousness destruction and energy transformation."

"I got it!"

Her eyes suddenly lit up: "You are a humanoid weapon created by the old human civilization! You are here to fight for the old humans, aren't you? See, I knew we were of the same kind!"

Night God waved her small fan with a proud expression as if to say, "I knew it."

Zhou Yi: "..."

Although this conclusion was far from the truth.

But it did save a lot of trouble.

Zhou Yi changed the subject: "Jupiter uses the Heavenly People as parts, and the Moon has them too. I'm thinking, as a fixed connection point, does Earth also have them?"

He had a feeling.

There might be something underground on Earth as well.

"I don't know."

After confirming that Zhou Yi was her kind, Night God became noticeably more affectionate, losing the previous business-like distance and fake smiles.

She suggested: "How about we work together?"

Zhou Yi asked: "How do we cooperate?"

"You help me deal with the Moon Beasts here, keep them from staying around, and help me with the maintenance and clearance of the Moon. Then I can keep an eye on the Heavenly Beings' movements for you, and the conditions on the consciousness side."

Zhou Yi said: "I also want the Moon."

"Huh?"

She was stunned: "That's not possible, this is my home."

"That's not what I meant."

Zhou Yi explained: "Because the Moon is a celestial body that the Heavenly People cannot approach. To them, it's a deadly threat like Jupiter. So I want to develop the Moon as a strategic weapon to deal with the Heavenly People."

"How are you going to develop it? Anyway, not in my home."

She waved her hand.

"I don't know yet."

Zhou Yi said: "But let's agree on this first. When the time is right, I want to try it."

"Don't you want to know your origins? The Heavenly People should know best."

"For now, I will just do some exploration and collect Light Amber and various mineral resources here. These will not enter below the mantle. We can discuss specific development later, okay?"

Night God thought for a long time and finally agreed: "In that case, I have one condition. Give me some electric cats, grade A, at least two of them. They will make things much easier."

"Deal."

Zhou Yi extended his hand and shook hers.
