At the same time, on the Forbidden Continent.

Zhongshan University has undergone a massive transformation and is now completely renewed.

Originally, the university remained silent, but now it has become lively.

The sound of Zhongshan University emitted through the electric cat reverberates in every building.

"Please do not damage the experimental equipment, handle with care, and clean and return it to its original place after use."

"Cooking food in the laboratory is strictly prohibited, Lucia has received a severe warning, and the whole school is notified. If it happens again, she will be expelled!"

"This week the dormitory area will undergo rectification and maintenance, from noon 12:00 to 7:00 in the evening, expected to last a total of 5 days, please schedule your rest time reasonably to avoid affecting normal routines."

"This month's salary is being distributed in the finance office, faculty and staff please collect it in an orderly manner."

...

All this made the dragon very satisfied.

It has now turned into an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a white undershirt, leaning on a cane, looking no different from an old man shopping at the market.

This is the image the dragon uses to present itself to the world.

The old man said, "The Dragon Palace now has the ability to communicate externally, and its talent cultivation traits can now be fully utilized. The Wasteland Development Company is indeed impressive, no wonder it is advancing by leaps and bounds, now unstoppable."

Zhou Yi simply smiled and said, "The world is developing, things that couldn't be done in the past can be done now, it's very normal."

The dragon was silent for a while.

"Losing too much too miserably, it's hard to think you can win."

It said slowly, "To be honest, I still think you can't win. There is never a lack of talented people in the world who challenge the Heavenly People, but none have caused much of a stir… I'm not undermining you, but the mountain you want to challenge, is too high."

"Dripping water can penetrate stone."

Zhou Yi was unconcerned: "And one more thing, you were wrong. It's not just me, there are many people with me climbing this mountain."

"A little splash might not work, but if this splash is enough and big enough, over the years, then it's enough to flood the Gold Mountain."

The old man sighed: "If I could have met you many years ago, perhaps many things would be different."

The dragon seemed to have a hidden meaning in its words.

Zhou Yi responded naturally, "Related to the first war resisting the Heavenly People?"

The old man's gaze turned to the distance.

"When the first resistance was launched, I too was ambitious and confident, strongly urging the Sun God to join me in the battle against the Heavenly People."

"At that time, both the Sun God and I were at our peak, unrivaled except for the Dead Sea Master."

"The most powerful concept lives were me and it, we represented the gods of that era, ruling the lands of the East and West. That was the era of divine existence."

"The Light Core Giants descended, initially hunting all kinds of material lives, until nothing on the ground could stop them, then they began hunting various concept lives."

The dragon reminisced about the past.

"Concept life and material life originally had conflicts and confrontations, victories and defeats on both sides. But because concept life itself was almost immortal, it always managed to laugh last, so at that time we didn't care."

"When you win, you always think you can keep winning. That was our mindset at the time."

"What difference does it make if the giants destroy this world? We could always resurrect, always rise again."

"So when the Mountain Dogs were first captured and hunted, we didn't help them. When the Bone Men were disassembled and eaten, we still didn't care. The sea lord and Skywalker also became the hunted, and we remained indifferent."

"Later, when we became the prey, naturally no one stood up for us either."

At this point, the old man's tone carried a hint of desolation.

"Zhou Yi, you are right."

"Don't think of yourself as invincible, always on top. As the old saying goes, the wheel of fortune keeps turning; many people have heard it, but not many truly understand it."

"But when you realize it, it's often too late, the best opportunity lost."

Zhou Yi asked, "The best opportunity? What does this mean?"

"That was the era of gods, or according to the definition of Mechanical City, the post-god era after the disappearance of the old humans. At that time, various earthbound groups still believed in us concept lives, worshiped us as gods, performed rituals and venerated us."

The dragon rested on an old public bench, leaning on its cane.

It watched the students and teachers coming and going on campus, its lips moving slightly: "Then, we could have started mobilizing early, uniting the Guangna Species and humans in various regions. The early Light Core Giants only had LV1 level Light Core Bodies, clumsy and not yet of later strength, they could be hunted and captured."

"However, after they collected various life samples, all the existing abilities in this world could hardly affect them anymore."

"The Sun God and I started a counterattack, and at that time we believed victory was almost inevitable. Because we had immortal bodies, and the Light Core Giants controlled by Heavenly People, or the Heavenly People behind them, couldn't dominate the Great Holy Spirit."

"Our specialty, the Consciousness Domain, is the Heavenly People's weakest blind area. So we decided to strike quickly, not to give the Heavenly People more time to gather information and perfect the giants. So together with the Sun God, I launched a full-scale counterattack, directly hunting the deployed Light Core Giants."

"Looking at the sky from the bottom of the well, that was probably our state at the time."

The dragon's face showed a trace of self-mockery.

"Initially, we won victory after victory, destroying many giants. The giants had many weaknesses at first, afraid of large amounts of water, afraid of air penetrating their bodies. Once water and air broke through their protective layers, they would quickly crack and desertify, rapidly collapsing."

Zhou Yi couldn't help but remember.

The first Ruby he read about was when the Heavenly People deployed a partial gemstone body to Earth, and it quickly disintegrated into sand and collapsed.

It turns out they were destroyed by water and air corrosion.

"But these shortcomings were quickly fixed."

The old man's eyes flashed with a hint of regret: "The Light Core Giants are constantly optimizing themselves, and battling them is becoming increasingly strenuous. However, there's still give and take between us, though we are at a disadvantage."

"But after the Heavenly People made new moves, the battlefield was quickly reversed."

"With the Dead Sea Master joining the battle, we immediately suffered heavy losses, and a large number of Concept Life forms were continuously killed..."

Zhou Yi listened with a heavy heart: "Did the Heavenly People control the Dead Sea Master?"

"It's not control; it's a method of driving."

The old man rubbed his cane with both hands: "The Light Core Giants pushed the Dead Sea, drawing in the Light Burst and rapids of the Dead Sea Master. But in the end, the Dead Sea Master only targeted us, as if it couldn't see the giants' existence."

Zhou Yi instantly understood.

The Heavenly People are Transformers, and the fields of consciousness and life cultivation are indeed blind areas for them, but transforming planets is their expertise.

Since they can modify celestial bodies, utilizing the Dead Sea is also within their capabilities.

By specifically acting on the Dead Sea, they made the Dead Sea Master take action.

The dragon continued: "Using this method, the Heavenly People caused the Dead Sea Master to conduct a large-scale purge of Concept Life forms, killing them so thoroughly that they did not dare to leave the consciousness side... The Sun God and I were primarily targeted for hunting."

"The Sun God was a Concept Life of strength second only to the Dead Sea Master, and it was ultimately swallowed by the Dead Sea Master, now it no longer exists."

"As for myself, because I am fused with the Heavenly People, I am also a primary target for their hunting."

Zhou Yi had always been concerned about this matter.

"That Heavenly Person, do you still remember its story?"

The dragon looked at Zhou Yi with a deep gaze: "Do you want to know?"

"Yes."

"Promise me one thing, and I'll tell you everything I know."

"What is it?"

"Help me leave the Forbidden Continent and evade the Heavenly People's pursuit."

The dragon said in a deep voice: "I've been trapped here for too long, barely scraping by with the Dragon Palace, but the consciousness fragments related to me are becoming fewer and fewer. Without a consciousness body to continue remembering and spreading, I will grow weaker and weaker until I am forgotten. I need to find a new way of survival, or I will only be imprisoned here."

Zhou Yi frowned.

The one in front of him was personally hunted by the Heavenly People, which speaks of significance beyond that of the later Black Emperor, Old King, and Warlord—three brothers.

The problem is that even he has no way to shield against the Heavenly People.

Zhou Yi thought for a moment: "I have two solutions."

"One is to go to another New World where the Heavenly People have no influence. This is the route I recommend, and it's the safest."

"The second is to transform you after sending you into a special space, converting you into Fire Seed Life. This is a backup plan, with the advantage of being able to coexist with me."

"But let me say this upfront, these two solutions can only take you away from here. What happens afterward cannot be guaranteed."

The dragon resolutely said: "Then let's go to the New World."

"In the New World, as long as I can move freely, I can make a comeback!"

Zhou Yi asked: "You rely on the Great Holy Spirit here; if you switch to another world, can you exist for the long term?"

The other party fell silent.

This is also a limitation of Concept Life.

They are highly bound to the Great Holy Spirit, the source of their power, difficult to separate, and when they go to other celestial bodies, Concept Life quickly disappears and is forcibly returned.

The old man said: "What is Fire Seed Life...like?"

Zhou Yi spread his hand, and an electric light-emitting sphere flew out of his palm.

"This is the Cat God, also Fire Seed Life."

"What I can guarantee is that, after transforming you into Fire Seed Life, you can break away from here."

Once transformed into Fire Seed Life, the source becomes this concept entity of the Cat God.

The dragon looked at Zhou Yi: "I don't want to choose either of those; I have a third way."

"A complete makeover."

Zhou Yi was startled: "What do you mean?"

"I want to borrow your company's shell."

The old man's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "The Wasteland Development Company, this Concept Life, could awaken consciousness at any time. Its size is already very large... I have a kind of ability called 'Deceit.' If you agree, I could merge with it to evade the Heavenly People's surveillance."

"From then on, I can walk in this world as its Concept Consciousness Body."

Zhou Yi was shocked.

Is such a thing possible?
