Chapter 24 Dangerous Heart


Except for Zhou Yi, the White King couldn't communicate with the outside world.

This was a deliberate design by the locals to avoid changes from its interactions with the outside world.

The Molding Fire Platform has resolved this issue.

Xiao Fu said, "It integrates the [Fire Seed Antenna]. It can obtain outside information in an energy state, allowing communication with life forms, and it's also suitable for detecting anomalies in the outside world."

"The Fire Seed Antenna uses the entire Circular Flow as a medium, capable of covering the whole world."

"It shares the sensory structure of every Fire Seed Life."

"This originates from a technology I gathered from the civilization of a Fire Seed Life I previously collected, which I then converted into the Circular Flow."

Xiao Fu proudly said, "For example, there's the mic master, a Concept Life that operates through melody and sound. If we encounter a similar life form, the Fire Seed Antenna can detect it."

"Another example is the electric cat. If another electric cat appears, the Fire Seed Antenna can communicate with it without relying on your body for contact and synchronization of consciousness."

"The Molding Fire Platform is an important core toolset! Now I can develop new Circumference Light Devices!"

Zhou Yi felt a stirring in his heart.

The Molding Fire Platform is a manufacturing machine for Circumference Light Devices, and devices like the Fire Seed Antenna are replicas based on the legacies of other civilizations.

"Collecting Fire Seed Life and civilization legacies can create new Circumference Light Devices?"

"Precisely!"

Xiao Fu happily said, "Each Reverse Flow member holds different Circular Flow elements because their experiences and collections vary, resulting in different Molding Fire Platform systems."

"My core set includes the [Energy Particle Decomposer], [Fire Seed Antenna], and [Dangerous Heart]."

"The Energy Particle Decomposer was used by the White King. This is its inherent trait, capable of absorbing large amounts of energy from the Circular Flow, which I have replicated into the Circular Flow device using the Molding Fire Platform. Though I previously had other energy devices, none worked as well as this one from the White King, so I replaced it."

"And then, the Dangerous Heart is this one."

Xiao Fu said.

A floating ellipsoid substance appeared on the Molding Fire Platform, formed by thin, glowing veins.

Its surface light fluctuated like an artificial heart.

"It is the core of cores."

Xiao Fu solemnly said, "The mechanism of the Dangerous Heart can promptly detect danger and issue an alarm. Although it can't specify the type of danger or the precise time, its accuracy is very high."

A device capable of prophecy-like warnings.

Zhou Yi was puzzled, "What mechanism is this?"

"I don't know."

Xiao Fu said bluntly, "I exchanged the Dangerous Heart from other Reverse Flow members at a great cost. Every manufacturing method of Circular Flow devices is different; once disassembled, it's almost impossible to reproduce. However, it has proved its worth, saving my life several times."

"It has three states."

"The first state, as it is now, maintains a semi-transparent glowing state, indicating everything is normal."

"In the second state, it emits a blood light, reaching Blood Light Level, calling for extreme caution. Previously, when attacked by the proxy of the Heavenly People from that side, the Dangerous Heart showed blood light."

"The third state is withered, at Destructive Level..."

Xiao Fu suddenly fell silent.

Zhou Yi noticed that the Dangerous Heart had turned pitch-black like a piece of charcoal, shrinking and withering.

He was somewhat astonished, "Is this the third state now?"

"..."

Xiao Fu was puzzled, "It shouldn't be. This state represents impending extreme destruction. But what exactly is this..."

"Not good!!! Da Zhou, it's the White King!!"

Zhou Yi looked back.

The White King was still diligently moving bricks, building the Pupil-shaped Tower, showing no abnormalities.

There was no mention of its awareness anomaly from the Ice Pot and the Big Buddha.

"It's not the White King's problem."

"It has attracted attention!"

Xiao Fu anxiously said, "Quick! Send it to the Moon!"

Zhou Yi also suddenly realized.

There are sixteen Transformers set up by the Heavenly People in Earth's orbit, watching every movement on the surface.

The White King's true form is the Sun Shattered Star, along with its already conspicuous Light Core Body!

Holy crap!

The company has been developing too smoothly lately; some complacency crept in!

Zhou Yi hurriedly compressed the White King to his shoulder, transforming it into a pyramid topped with a crown.

Then he drove Hei Fu and swiftly entered the Moon.

Only then did he release the White King.

The Night God appeared immediately this time.

"Whoa, what a big guy, never seen this one. Did you recruit a new member? It's strong... Are you finally going to develop the Moon?"

She curiously scrutinized the tall White King.

Zhou Yi turned his attention back to the [Dangerous Heart].

Before his eyes, the once withered black heart gradually regained its brightness and became plump again.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Indeed.

No wonder the Reverse Flow members didn't release Fire Seed Life; the risks were unpredictable. These behavioral norms were justified. It confirms the old saying, never display your wealth.

Zhou Yi then explained the situation to the Night God.

"The Shattered Star left behind after the sun's destruction... the Fire Gatherer and Fire Thief... another historical process for humans..."

The Night God smiled, shaking her small fan, "You always come up with new tricks."

"..."

Zhou Yi was more concerned about whether the matter with the White King would be laid to rest.

If not, he would have to move his company to the Moon for long-term operations.

He felt troubled.

After ten years of cautious wandering beneath the sea, he had become somewhat lax.

"Da Zhou, the one targeting the White King wasn't the proxy. Their strength was not that high. They could only reach the Blood Light Level, causing a lethal threat, but not Destructive Level. Destructive Level signifies an unstoppable catastrophe."

The Reverse Flow member presently acted as an advisor, analyzing, "It wasn't the Heavenly People either. If the Heavenly People personally came, they could capture the White King instantly, leaving us no time to react. Their power is above the Transformers."

"So it wasn't the Heavenly People. According to the Night God, they haven't paid attention to Earth for a long time."

"The most likely suspects are the sixteen Transformers left in Earth's orbit as observation tools. Their strength is sufficient and are consistently monitoring the White King."

Zhou Yi and Xiao Fu were discussing laying low on the Moon, sending the cat god back to check the situation on Earth.

At this moment, the Night God suddenly said, "Oh, another visitor? It's really busy today."

Zhou Yi looked at Hei Fu's crystal plane.

A ball of light appeared in the darkness above the Moon.

A slender central structure emerged, flanked by broad three-pronged structures, resembling wings or fins.

Completely composed of Gem Cells.

After appearing, the three-pronged structures on each side rapidly proliferated, and gem chains extended in all directions, sealing the sky above the Moon and connecting to the ground.

The White King was pinned to the ground by these pronged light chains, unable to move.

The cat god was extremely nervous, "Chairman, this sense of oppression and strength, it's a Transformer..."

Indeed, it followed them from Earth.

Zhou Yi's gaze intensified.

Xiao Fu's judgment was accurate.

Tietie once said, the new humans modified by the Heavenly People had to undergo a process of being placed on the gem chains for further selection and allocation by the Heavenly People.

It turns out those chains were also a special tool life form.

Facing the Transformer, Zhou Yi had no experience, leaving him with no choice but to face it head-on.

"Xiao Fu, connect the power of the Molding Fire Platform entirely to the White King."

"Yes!"

"White King, prepare for battle! Repel the intruder!"

"Yes, Fire Gatherer."

Though the White King was not a combat unit, it was now ablaze with fire, forming a massive fire ring behind it, linked with various Circumference Light Devices.

The Energy Particle Decomposer absorbed all the Dead Sea light energy on the lunar surface, crazily pouring into the White King, creating waves of light converging around it.

Energy rapidly surged!

The White King instantly broke through existing life levels, entering an overloaded state, with its whole body glowing red. The binding light chains twisted and bent, visibly straining under the immense force, on the verge of breaking.

A crowned artificial life against the earthly wardens created by the Heavenly People.

The Transformer battle was imminent.

Suddenly, a light band rose from the ground, seizing the enormous gem chain life form, dragging it into the lunar underground like snatching a flying insect.

The high air returned to its previous emptiness and quiet.

The White King on the ground looked around, unable to locate the enemy.

"Did you forget this is my home?"

The Night God said, waving her small fan.

"Fighting needs the host's permission."

"Even the Heavenly People dare not come; I didn't expect their creations to dare to intrude. It seems they're neither very intelligent nor afraid of death."

Zhou Yi immediately came to his senses.

Indeed.

The Moon is a no-go zone for the Heavenly People.

The Transformer, also made of Gem Cells, is a tool life created by the Heavenly People, just a level higher than the Light Core Giant.

It was directly captured by the artificial lunar body.

It appears this place works against the Heavenly People system.

He felt a bit of relief.

At least now they are safe.

"Thank you."

Zhou Yi expressed his gratitude.

"No problem, I'll cover you here. If they come to the Moon, it's their death wish."

The Night God smiled slightly.
