Zhou Yi contacted Night God to get gems.

Her place has now become a gem repository.

The existing imitation Light Core Giants had already consumed more than half of their gems, and now the number is insufficient.

"Newborn Phase... the demand for gems by Mechanical Life is truly high."

Night God was curious: "This quantity is almost like that of a Gemstone Transformer. The conditions for Mechanical Life to advance to Light Core Body are truly harsh, no wonder they haven't broken through all these years."

"But this gem path is the right one. That Jue Mingzi has some ideas."

She praised, "Gems can serve as a consciousness carrier and complete internal consciousness circulation. Each Heavenly Person is equivalent to a local Great Holy Spirit."

"If Mechanical Life can transform and fuse with Gem Cells, becoming Gemstone Mechanical Life, they will be able to follow the evolutionary growth path of Heavenly People."

"I'll count the gems and send them to the laboratory now."

Zhou Yi brought Jue Mingzi to the Guanghan Palace laboratory.

The Mechanical Life in the form of a boy saw the mountain of Heavenly People Gems here and revealed a desire never shown before in its electronic eyes.

It was evident that the gems indeed brought significant changes to it.

Zhou Yi raised his hand and introduced: "There are 15 million gems here. Night God replicated them based on the proportion of Gemstone Transformers. The ratio of White Gemstone, Blue Gemstone, and Black Gemstone is 78:21:1... Try absorbing them."

"Really?"

Although Jue Mingzi was eager, he kept some restraint: "Even the largest Mechanical City only uses a few hundred Heavenly People Gems to build strategic-level equipment. These are very precious..."

Zhou Yi said calmly, "Precious, indeed. So they do not come without cost."

"After absorbing these Heavenly People Gems, you will no longer be a simple Mechanical Life as before. You will have a strong desire and impulse to collect gems, inevitably becoming a competitor to the Heavenly People... even a Hunter."

"Master, please think clearly. Do you still want to absorb these gems?"

"..."

After a moment of silence.

Jue Mingzi clasped his hands together: "I want to explore this path."

"Fine."

Zhou Yi nodded, "Then absorb them."

Jue Mingzi raised his hand and touched the Gem Cells.

Interestingly, the gems themselves did not get absorbed like usual elements. Instead, fibers gradually emerged from within, connecting to the next gem... the gems started internally interconnecting, like a neural network connecting numerous cells.

Fifteen million Heavenly People Gems constructed a massive, thin screen, with each gem becoming a pixel on the screen.

It occupied the entire laboratory space.

An image stretching appeared on the screen, like the rising and falling waves of a blue ocean.

Zhou Yi was puzzled, "What's this?"

"Mr. Zhou, this is a replica of my main body."

The boy next to him said, "I am the fifth generation of the Huawei Vision Smart Screen, but since the main body is very fragile, it has been residing in Snow County, moving in the form of a split-entity as it is now."

"However, after becoming a [Newborn Phase], this body has turned into my main body."

"This time, after merging the Heavenly People Gem materials, they have become my new carrier, different from what I expected. But due to my limited computing and processing abilities, it can only reach up to 15 million in scale."

"This feeling is very peculiar, hard to describe accurately..."

After contemplating for a while, it said, "It's like a part of my peripheral, only when we connect does it become whole. But once connected, the energy consumption will be enormous, and the energy consumption of Gem Cells is extremely frightening."

Zhou Yi was very interested, "Try connecting."

"Okay."

In the next second, Jue Mingzi's electronic eyes became two white rings, and two giant light rings simultaneously appeared on the large screen beside.

The gem screen seemed to have become Jue Mingzi's face.

The whole structure emitted intense consciousness ripples.

Even giving Zhou Yi a sense of danger.

[Panoramic Reading] Displayed.

At this time, the boy and the giant gem screen became a whole, connecting with black and white Conscious Keys, like a humanoid host connected behind a monitor.

Full-bodied Jue Mingzi displayed overhead.

[Light Core Body LV1·Unknown]

Zhou Yi felt excited inside.

The first Mechanical Light Core Body on Earth was born!

Jue Mingzi said, "Mr. Zhou, now this is the complete form."

"I have three kinds of perceptions now."

"The first is normal vision, the second is energy perception, and the third is consciousness bandwidth."

Its voice was light-hearted, "Especially consciousness bandwidth, an area Mechanical Life could never touch before. But under Black Gemstone's sensing, capturing, and processing, those consciousness fluctuations are as clear as radio broadcasts."

Zhou Yi was surprised, "Can you capture all consciousnesses?"

"Only sensing gems."

"Every gem has its own consciousness fluctuation, although very weak. When there's a large number, they connect with each other, changing quantity into quality, and then producing specific movements and external releases through Black Gemstone."

Zhou Yi was somewhat disappointed.

It's like the Gemstone Body can only use an intranet, limited to internal mutual recognition.

The observing Night God at this moment said, "Although Black Gemstone dominates consciousness movement, it can only use gems as carriers. The Heavenly System is very closed, internally forming a system isolated from the outside. Whether material exchange or consciousness communication, it must begin through the gem itself."

"Yes, what you said is very correct."

Jue Mingzi said, "The gem unit's closure is strong. The advantage is high security, smooth, stable, very sensitive, providing strong privacy protection capabilities for each Gemstone Body. Even if these gems are acquired externally, tracing back through the gems to discover this consciousness's identity and privacy is impossible."

"Its disadvantages are also obvious, low customization degree, inability to directly transmit information externally, hard to interface with the outside world. Only the functions that come with the Gem Cells can be used, and these functions need to be explored step by step."

Becoming a Light Core Body.

Jue Mingzi also gained a brand new ability.

"I can project consciousness super long-distance. As long as life is modified by Gem Cells, implanted with a specific fiber structure, it can serve as a projection carrier. Then through Black Gemstone, you can trigger this process, though the energy consumption is also very high."

Zhou Yi was quite familiar with this.

This was an inherent method of the Heavenly People.

In the early days, they used this way to descend to Earth.

Li Mo and Heavenly Dog were also carriers of this modified projection.

But Jue Mingzi lacked cross-space deployment ability, belonging to a beggar version of the Heavenly People projection.

"Mr. Zhou. Not only flesh and blood life, Mechanical Life can too! Even split entities!"

It was already very satisfied, "I can use Light Core Projection to control and modify numerous split entities working on the Moon or Mars!"

Jue Mingzi couldn't help but start envisioning the future, "If more Mechanical Life Gems are modified, everyone could connect at any time through the internal consciousness frequency band of Black Gemstone. We will no longer be restricted by local spaces and various specific devices."

"Gem technology is truly astonishingly powerful."

Zhou Yi's cheeks twitched.

No, buddy.

One transformation alone costs 15 million Light Seeds. Doing large-scale modifications is indeed quite costly.

Jue Mingzi seemed to realize this too, "I was being fanciful; becoming a Light Core Body is too luxurious for Mechanical Life, and it's already a miracle breaking common sense and laws in itself."

"Thank you both very much, Mr. Zhou, Lady Night God."

"Even though saying anything seems insignificant under such help... I promise to contribute all my labor to you both for a thousand years. If you need anything, please issue instructions at any time."

"This promise has been recorded in my Gem Cells and will be unconditionally fulfilled."

Night God smiled, "Consider yourself smart. To me, the important thing is researching Heavenly People and gems. Now that you have a Gem Body, study this part well."

"Yes."

Zhou Yi said, "We will need your power in future confrontations with Heavenly People. In the meantime, stay in Guanghan Palace and develop your capabilities and characteristics."

"Yes."

Speaking of which.

Zhou Yi suddenly had a bold idea, "Since it can identify other gems, can you also identify individuals of other gem projections?"

"I can."

"Can it also be identified on Earth over there?"

"Please wait a moment while I try."

About ten minutes later.

Jue Mingzi said, "Yes, it is feasible. Earth doesn't have any additional blocking facilities, and those Gemstone Transformers haven't set any obstacles in the Gem Channel field."

Zhou Yi was pleased inside.

The extremely closed Heavenly System did not have internal restrictions.

There was room for maneuver.

"Jue Mingzi, now I assign you a task."

"I want you to find out the other Heavenly People proxies currently on Earth and verify their true identities for me."

Jue Mingzi was taken aback and immediately said, "Yes!"
