Artificial Great Spirits are much more potent than artificial proxies.

Zhou Yi was curious again, "Just such an environment can hatch an Artificial Great Spirit?"

"It's just..."

The Sea Lord chuckled bitterly, "Chairman, such an environment is not just 'like this.' The Dream Demons have tried in the past, but couldn't replicate it. When I first saw that prototype Concept Life, I didn't dare confirm it right away."

"Being born in such an environment completely exceeds my understanding, but it's undoubtedly a priceless Concept Life."

Zhou Yi then asked for Xiao Fu's opinion.

"I don't know much about Great Spirits. In this field, Dream Demons have a better understanding and cognition than I do. However... from a technical standpoint, it should have a direct relationship with the Heavenly People Gemstone."

Xiao Fu said, "Da Zhou, the gemstone body of the Heavenly People is essentially an artificial celestial body. They operate independently, with geological movements based on gemstones and liquid methane as the fluid environment, providing multiple layers of protection and temperature change to the gemstones."

"According to what Sea Lord just said, I actually have an idea."

"The group consciousness formed by the combination of Heavenly Gemstone Cells is built with multiple glass people as the core brains, but isn't this itself like an Artificial Great Spirit?"

"The gemstone structure itself is the material carrier for group consciousness."

Reverse Flow analyzed from another angle.

Zhou Yi again consulted Night God.

To say who understands gemstone structures best, it's undoubtedly her.

She is also an Artificial Great Spirit on the Moon.

Night God frowned in thought for a long time before speaking, "Turns out the town monsters and I operate under basically the same mechanism, no wonder only I can see them, and you all can't observe them."

"Wait a moment, in that case... perhaps..."

"Give me a second."

"I need to determine whether this is the case. Don't let go of my hand."

Her eyes suddenly changed color.

This time Night God's eyes were no longer different colors, but both turned blood red.

Under her gaze, the Dementor-like town monster became immobilized, as if it had been tagged with an immobilization talisman.

In Night God's perspective.

Zhou Yi saw the town monster's body covered with red lines, these red stripes forming various shaped rolls inside it, as if its body was filled with fine red blood vessels.

Each roll of red lines is a person's information.

Two men drinking beer, a girl flying a kite, an old man teasing a dog, a person eating an egg, a child holding their parent's hand, a young man looking over the scenery from the rooftop, a fisherman sitting by the river...

It recorded every town resident.

Each resident emitted a huge amount of self-awareness, this consciousness is another silent external language, with emotions and desires intertwined and tangled.

Night God's eyes switched to pitch black.

This time Zhou Yi saw black lines extending from the town monster, extending to all directions across the town like puppet strings.

He followed the black lines and eventually found that the source of the lines was with the many Black Gemstones acting as the town world's vehicle.

Turns out the town monsters were not just nurtured by old human projections, but also by gemstones.

"See it?"

Night God said, "I knew something was odd. Sure enough, this guy is composed of two parts: consciousness capacity and memory core housed in Black Gemstones provided here by the gemstones, while consciousness activity is derived from the old humans' activities evolution."

"Simply put, it's a special reaction between old humans and gemstone cells creating the consciousness body."

"To call it Great Spirit doesn't fit as well as saying it's a mutated Heavenly People consciousness."

Zhou Yi was taken aback, "Heavenly People consciousness?"

He quickly realized, "You mean old human projections here replaced the glass people?"

"You can say that."

"But..."

Zhou Yi was puzzled, "If this alone can form the Heavenly People consciousness, why do they go to such lengths to cultivate glass people replacements?"

"Because it's uncontrolled."

Night God was exceptionally calm at the moment, "Did you not notice? This guy roams around like a primitive beast. As Heavenly People, who are Transformers, they are not skilled in consciousness domains, they wouldn't take risks."

Zhou Yi also came to his senses.

Looking at it from the Heavenly People's viewpoint.

If all that's needed is a consciousness body, they could just catch a human, yet the Heavenly People didn't do that.

For Heavenly People, who are Assembly Life, the core foundation is the glass person.

The collective consciousness led and propelled by glass people is what makes up Heavenly People.

They are the genes of Heavenly People.

If merely to fill consciousness into a gemstone body, it would be reversing priorities.

The challenge for Heavenly People is the continuous depletion of the genes that are glass people.

Zhou Yi asked, "Does this guy pose any potential risk?"

The town monster wandered cluelessly, appearing around every resident, listening to what they said, and absorbing the consciousness fragments they emitted, like a child curious about the hustle and bustle.

"For now, it's not a problem, it has no aggressive tendencies... I'll keep an eye on it. If it poses a risk, I'll eliminate it."

Night God said, "This is also why I said it needs a longer time. First, I have to find a way to control this guy, to prevent it from affecting the old humans inside. As for how to finally settle it, more consideration is needed."

Zhou Yi felt slightly relieved, "Thank you for your hard work."

…

Sand Port.

Zhou Yi landed atop the Jade City building with Hei Fu.

Back to 3101.

The Cat God appeared first and said, "Chairman, the Dream Demon Group's representative is downstairs again requesting to see you. Should I let him up?"

"Bring him up."

Zhou Yi looked at Canghai Jun beside him and asked, "Do you know the Dream Demon's representative?"

"I know him."

He nodded and said, "The one coming is Mayfly Jun. He is also the Weaver Jun I am acquainted with. Mayfly Jun has a mild temperament and has been dealing with external groups for a long time; he's responsible for important external collaborations. Previously, he facilitated the negotiation agreement with the Black Emperor."

Zhou Yi raised an eyebrow.

Having Mayfly Jun appear indicates an increased level of attention from the Dream Demon side.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Zhou. Finally, we meet."

Mayfly Jun was a friendly-looking plump man, wearing a black suit and white shirt, with short hair, sporting a belly, looking somewhat amusing.

"Mayfly Jun, you're too kind," Zhou Yi replied politely.

"A token of our first meeting."

The other party placed a gift box on the table with both hands.

"What is this?" Zhou Yi asked.

Mayfly Jun said, "You should find it useful. Please open it and take a look."

Zhou Yi nodded to Yuan Xiao.

The Angel of Death unwrapped the gift packaging, revealing a wooden box. When the lid was opened, inside was a Heavenly Person Red Gemstone.

Zhou Yi nodded, "Thank you very much then."

"Indeed, the Dream Demon Clan is truly capable."

"Just a small token, as long as Mr. Zhou likes it. We heard that the Mechanical Knight Order is researching the Heavenly People Gem. Consider it a token towards Buddha. Speaking of capability, none can surpass Mr. Zhou."

Mayfly Jun sighed, "Lady Mei just offended you and shortly after disappeared."

"She barely became the Heavenly People representative... please have mercy."

Zhou Yi gave him a light glance and just picked up his porcelain cup to drink tea.

Mayfly Jun forced a smile, "Could you spare her just this once? We are willing to offer a generous amount of Light Seed to express our gratitude."

"There are rumors."

Zhou Yi spoke unhurriedly, "Saying that Lady Mei was reported for bribery and solicitation, resulting in her being captured by the Supervisors and now imprisoned."

Mayfly Jun's face stiffened, "Bribery and solicitation... that must be a misunderstanding, definitely a misunderstanding... She just took office, there must be some misunderstanding."

"I heard, I just heard."

Zhou Yi smiled slightly, "The Supervisors are now cracking down hard on misconduct by representatives, thoroughly investigating dereliction of duty. Lady Mei was backtracked and found relying on bribery and solicitation to become the Heavenly People representative."

The other party's eyes were momentarily dazed.

"So... she can't get out?"

"Who knows?"

"Would Mr. Zhou be able to help... terms are negotiable."

"Sorry, I don't wield that much power."

"..."

Mayfly Jun fell silent.

Eventually, he forced a bitter smile, cupping his hands, "Mr. Zhou, previously we didn't recognize Mount Tai; we admit defeat. You truly wield sky-reaching powers; never before has anyone been able to influence the fate of Heavenly People representatives..."

Zhou Yi waved his hand, "This matter has nothing to do with me. I'm just better informed. If one's own conduct is clear, even a thorough investigation by the Supervisors shouldn't be a problem. Even other representatives are faring well, aren't they?"

The other party sighed, glancing at Canghai Jun beside him.

"No wonder Canghai Jun came to me before, hoping we'd thoroughly consider the company's demands... The Canghai Jun I remember was quite proud. I thought the company had some way to control him. Now I see, I was just a frog in the well."

Mayfly Jun said earnestly, "I'm very sorry for the previous offense. We are willing to offer 1 billion Light Seed as an official apology, hoping to resolve any past unpleasantness and misunderstandings."

"We only hope that you will support our subsequent representative candidates."

This was an open offer, hoping to buy peace.

Zhou Yi spoke softly, "As expected, the Dream Demon Clan is truly wealthy. The company's demands remain unchanged. We need to review representative candidates to avoid uncontrollable risks."

Money can be made, but representative selection must align with the company's interests.

"Understood."

Mayfly Jun was straightforward, "Then our candidates will be presented to Mr. Zhou for you to shortlist. Will that be acceptable?"

"Not enough."

Zhou Yi replied flatly, "Anyone the company disagrees with cannot become a representative."

"..."

Mayfly Jun was silent for a long time, obviously consulting with other weavers.

Eventually, he nodded, "Understood."

"Then that's settled."

Zhou Yi smiled slightly, extending his hand to him, "Pleasure working together."

Mayfly Jun shook his hand, barely managing a smile.

The objective was achieved.

Zhou Yi told the assistant beside him, "Yuan Xiao, why are you standing there? Serve some tea to the guest."

"Yes, Chairman."
