The appearance of the Evil Brain Motor filled the gap the company had in the development of consciousness.

In the Wasteland era, it was also the first reliable tool for stable exploration of the consciousness side.

Zhou Yi was extremely pleased about this.

Although he was now a Light Core Body, long-term activity on the consciousness side almost inevitably required the use of the Great Holy Spirit. Otherwise, in the vast sea of consciousness fragments, it would be impossible to start searching.

However, once the GPS-like Great Holy Spirit is activated, personal information would inevitably be leaked, and the Great Holy Spirit itself is a domain controlled by the Dream Demon Group.

But now it is completely different.

The Evil Brain Motor operates independently from the Great Holy Spirit, networking biological brains, and they maintain a strong independence and functionality.

Using this device is like operating a large gaming console to explore the Otherworld.

Zhou Yi quickly discovered through the screen.

On the consciousness side, material side life forms are just shadows of varying sizes depending on the strength and radiation ability of the consciousness body. But Concept Life such as pure consciousness bodies have clear forms and structures.

For instance.

The mic master appears as a black player in the consciousness side.

The Land God takes on the form of a clay Buddha stepping on auspicious clouds.

In the consciousness side world, they are the natives, while material side life forms can only appear as black projections, like Breakers.

However, it is not peaceful there.

Zhou Yi saw through the Evil Brain Motor, a giant cloaked in black, carrying a long and thin, paddle-like black sword, wandering over the consciousness wasteland made of accumulated fragments.

The strength of this individual was astonishing, just looking at him made the Light Core within Zhou Yi hum, accompanied by a cracking sound, as if giving a strong warning.

The giant in black passed by shadows, seemingly observing and identifying something.

It only attacks native Concept Life, and they flee in panic at its presence, seemingly without the courage to confront it.

Zhou Yi sought out the Land God to ask: "Who is that?"

"Death."

The Land God floating beside the Evil Brain Motor said: "It is very much like the Dead Sea Master, both are manifestations of natural laws. Consciousness bodies with signs of death will attract its approach and arrival."

"Under normal circumstances, it does not attack the consciousness bodies of material side life forms here because, after all, it is a collection of death consciousness, a gathering of death phenomena."

"But it will attack Concept Life because Concept Life is not supposed to exist, it is the result of death, and it will shatter Concept Life."

Zhou Yi was taken aback: "Concept Life isn't supposed to exist?"

"To be precise, Concept Life with self-consciousness shouldn't exist."

The Land God explained: "In the old human era, before the Circular Flow impacted this world, concept objects were just a form of consciousness."

"A concept object with self-consciousness then becomes Concept Life."

"Early Concept Life was extremely rare, and its emergence was an exceedingly improbable event. The earliest Concept Life was the Dream Demon."

"But the Circular Flow impact caused numerous material side life forms to disintegrate rapidly, and countless consciousness fragments flooded in, leading to an unprecedented large-scale reorganization and chaos on the consciousness side."

"The most stable concept objects absorbed these intensely self-aware consciousness fragments, thereby coalescing into self-consciousness."

"In death terms, Concept Life is an anomaly, a being that should have died but forcibly remained unassembled, which it seeks to eradicate back to nothing."

"When reduced to zero by death once, a Concept Life will lose about half of its consciousness fragments and take a long time to recover, which is why everyone avoids it."

Zhou Yi stroked his chin.

So Concept Life has such a mechanism.

So that means...

"The self-consciousness of many Concept Lives actually comes from old human consciousness?"

"Correct."

The Land God said: "When a whale falls, all things grow. It's because of the demise and extinction of old humans, leaving behind a vast amount of consciousness and material legacy, that there are now these life forms."

Zhou Yi couldn't help but look at Death.

This robed, long-sword-wielding figure had no facial features, only deep darkness within the cloak.

"Who is more powerful, Death or the Dead Sea Master?"

"Hard to say."

The Land God pondered: "We never regard Death as life, more like a walking natural mechanism because it strikes all Concept Life."

"Compared to it, the Dead Sea Master is much more normal, at least it does not attack others without reason."

"Death and the Dead Sea Master once crossed paths, I think the Sun God witnessed it, Death seems unable to kill the Dead Sea Master… but the details are unclear."

Zhou Yi was shocked inside.

Does this mean the Dead Sea Master has an Immortal Body?

He immediately contacted the dragon currently out working under the guise of [Crab Boss].

"It's true."

The dragon said: "The Sun God told me, actually it was the Sun God's idea to lead Death to attack the Dead Sea Master. It wanted to use this strategy to see if it could handle the Dead Sea Master."

"But when Death encountered the Dead Sea Master, it did not attack it."

"Later, after investigation, the Sun God confirmed that the Dead Sea itself is not a product of this world but comes from the Sun's energy, so the Dead Sea Master, born from this prototype, does not belong to this world. The local Death cannot affect its prototype…"

Zhou Yi understood.

Death can only manage the locals and has no way with this foreign guest.

Besides that.

In the world on the consciousness side, apart from the shadows existing as NPC supporting roles, the protagonists are still the concept lifeforms. They usually fly and search throughout that broken world.

Different concept lifeforms have different tendencies and personalities.

Zhou Yi saw a type of tower-shaped altar scattered everywhere, burning with white or black flames.

The Land God said, this is the sign of the [Fire God].

"The Fire God is an ancient concept lifeform; it builds fire altars everywhere. If you get close to a fire altar, you can obtain consciousness fragments about fire through the two-colored flames on top."

"White flames can input your consciousness fragments, while black flames can receive the consciousness fragments of the Fire God."

"Fire represents not only high temperature and light but also contains the duality of civilization and destruction. The fire altars can stabilize a large area of consciousness fragments, keeping them orderly rather than chaotic and inclined to destruction."

"If you happen to touch the connection to a fire altar from the other side, you can gain insights in this area. These fragmented consciousnesses come from the thoughts and creations of many consciousness entities in this world's past."

Speaking of the Fire God, the Land God was very courteous, quite respectful: "It's a pity that the consciousness side is always fragmenting, and the fire altars constantly collapse and decay. But it keeps rebuilding, day after day, never stopping."

"Knowing this will never end, yet the Fire God never gives up, everyone respects it greatly. It's a blessing to have such a down-to-earth existence dedicated to repairing the world among the concept lifeforms."

Zhou Yi thought. It seems everywhere has diligent workers quietly mending and repairing behind the scenes.

In stark contrast to the [Fire God] is [Fear].

Its symbol is the black-and-white forest constructed everywhere. That is a human-made dense forest built of black and white consciousness keys, crisscrossed inside, like a special fortress built of numerous pillars.

Wandering in the forest are black and white monsters that will touch consciousness entities that come close.

Once you enter these black-and-white forests and are followed and touched by those black-and-white humanoid monsters, a large amount of fragments will be released from the consciousness entity, absorbed by the forest, as if being a piggy bank bursting with gold coins. This is the result of the fear state.

The Land God said: "It feeds on panic and fear, sometimes bringing death and disaster closer to various lifeforms to extract the fragments it needs."

"Sometimes, when humans feel unexplainably anxious and scared, it's actually related to it."

Zhou Yi understood now.

Because material side lifeforms cannot directly enter the consciousness side, they act as shadow consciousness entities over there, like a person putting their hand in a black box to explore.

The feedback from that side brings various emotional and conscious changes.

"Actually, various concept lifeforms intersect directly or indirectly."

The Land God added: "Like fear can also be killed by death, and the Fire God's fire altars can be secretly covered by fear with black-and-white forests... Therefore, the Great Holy Spirit is the most important foundation. Without the Great Holy Spirit, many concept lifeforms would die completely after death."

"Every concept lifeform will leave its mark on the consciousness side. If these marks are gone, the concept itself will weaken until forgotten and unmentioned, eventually falling into long-term sleep, which is actually no different from death."

Zhou Yi couldn't help but sigh: "Concept lifeforms also have it tough..."

If you don't work, don't perform, no one will remember you.

At this moment, a piece of music suddenly played in his ears.

"Think of me as being flamboyant, exaggerated only because I'm scared.

Would wooden or stony words get attention?

Actually worried about being forgotten, so amplified to perform..."

Eason Chan's "Flamboyant."

Zhou Yi laughed and cried: "You're even setting background music automatically now."

"Chairman, I've been growing over the years too."

The mic master explained: "I am gradually learning to set music around employees to match their moods. This way, whether happy or painful, they can be more thorough and immersed in their emotions."

Zhou Yi asked: "Can everyone accept it?"

"Rest assured, Chairman, it can be turned off at any time, automatically on or off. It's very flexible."

Then it's fine.

Zhou Yi turned his attention back to the Evil Brain Motor.

"Can you take me to see the Dead Sea Master?"

"Of course."

On the screen, the Land God had already become a nearby escorting advisor.

"It's right in the sky."

Zhou Yi adjusted his perspective, looking at the sky.

This strongest concept lifeform, its form is a black sun, like the shadow of the material-side sun projected here, hanging in the sky. However, it is very close to the ground, extremely large in size.

The area it radiates to corresponds to the Dead Sea Zone on the material side, where the consciousness fragments flow like tides, resembling a peculiar dynamic oil painting.

Due to the extreme danger of the Dead Sea Master itself, getting close is considered to impact its circular flow operations, and it will launch attacks.

So it can only be viewed from a distance.

Zhou Yi remembered a concept lifeform he had long wanted to witness.

"Heavenly Kingdom Paradise?"

The Land God was taken aback: "You want to see it?"

"Is it possible?"

"Of course... it's just."

The Land God said: "There might be risks because the Heavenly Kingdom Paradise continues to absorb and merge concept lifeforms, heavily slaying outsiders. If you go, clearly establish a company identity to avoid misunderstandings and conflicts..."

"Alright."

Zhou Yi heeded the advice: "I'll have the Crab Boss come over."
