Under normal circumstances, any consciousness trapped in the Evil Brain Network would go to great lengths to escape, just like the previous example of Canghai Jun; it's the instinctive desire for survival.

Losing freedom and self is something that no consciousness can accept.

Yet, this Fengguncao suppressed its instinct and chose to go deeper inside.

As a mentor, Tingyou Jun said: "It wants to stop the Evil Brain Engine by integrating itself, to influence or even lead its behavior patterns."

"It has indeed had a certain effect, of course, also because you've stopped the consciousness attack. Otherwise, it would be a pile of fragments by now."

Since encountering the Dream Demons, Zhou Yi sees them as a shrewd group that is very adept at adapting to circumstances, joining whomever strong they encounter.

But Fengguncao's drive towards death, wanting to break through a strong fortress from within, shows that Dream Demons also embody a spirit of sacrifice and behaviors of risking for the group.

Zhou Yi asked Canghai Jun next to him: "Can it be taken out?"

"Of course, that's not a problem. Previously, Chairman, you could bring me out from inside; this process won't be more difficult than that time."

Canghai Jun said: "It's just that guy doesn't want to come out."

Zhou Yi was taken aback: "Doesn't want to come out?"

"Fengguncao insists our Evil Brain Engine is the 'Swallower of Demons' and considers it very hazardous, requiring an internal breakdown to its mechanics."

Canghai Jun also showed some helplessness: "If it doesn't want to come out, we really can't directly release it. In extreme cases, we might have to shred it into consciousness fragments and throw them out. Anyway, Dream Demons can be recomposed through the Great Holy Spirit, so this shouldn't be a big issue."

Zhou Yi pondered: "No hurry. I remember you once constructed multilayered dream realms within the Evil Brain consciousness but could not connect with the external eighteen layers of dreams?"

Canghai Jun said: "Yes, Chairman."

"The independent consciousness network of the Evil Brain, fundamentally, is an inner space constructed using biological brains as the carrier. In some respects, it's akin to a Heavenly People Gem, forming a self-contained, internally sealed stable system."

Zhou Yi immediately suggested: "Then could it be possible, leveraging Dream Demons for more flexible operation of the Evil Brain?"

"Look at us now. To use the Evil Brain Engine, it requires multilayer information exchange of Cave People and Light Imprint Device data. Each adjustment or repair necessitates mobilizing all parties to participate, and now clearly lacks an internal maintainer of the Evil Brain Engine...akin to the administrator of the consciousness world..."

"If we introduce Dream Demons as the Evil Brain Engine's GM, is that feasible?"

Zhou Yi considers that the Dong family must follow him and cannot stay in the laboratory all the time.

The Evil Brain comprises a three-layer structure of Cave People-Usurper Worm-biological brain, but still can only provide judgments and inspections on the material side, lacking an effective regulation method on the consciousness side.

If Dream Demons work long-term inside the Evil Brain, theoretically, this issue can be resolved.

Because the feedback from Dream Demons can be extremely accurate and timely, they can even integrate like Fengguncao, intervening in the Evil Brain's internal operations.

Canghai Jun pondered for a long time.

In his conscious channel: "Dream Demons are the most mature and numerous consciousness life forms, even young Dream Demons possess considerable skills in dream creation and collection, well-matching with the Evil Brain."

"Once entered, the Evil Brain mechanism can ensure safety. Because entry is easy, but leaving is difficult without the company's help to exit from the Evil Brain."

"From a technical standpoint, involving Dream Demons as Evil Brain operators is beneficial."

Zhou Yi nodded: "Then it works."

He immediately turned to Ephemeral Jun and Tingyou Jun: "Gentlemen, I have a suggestion..."

After listening, Tingyou Jun was the first to express: "We can provide the Dream Demons you need, according to your rules!"

"I've always thought that the Swallower of Demons... no, the Evil Brain and Dream Demons have a strong mutual attraction. Essentially, the two have an innate match. It's just that the Evil Brain's mechanism is too strong, leading Dream Demons to be captured when they come close, unable to interact and being solely controlled."

An old Dream Demon excitedly exclaimed: "If some artificial intervention can be achieved, reaching a more balanced state. Then the lacking variable of the Evil Brain, we Dream Demons can fill. Because dream creation and using consciousness fragments are essential basic skills for every Dream Demon."

Unlike the technical side, the nearby Ephemeral Jun was more concerned with another matter.

"Does Mr. Zhou mean... invite us to join in this domain? I'm not sure if I understand correctly."

Zhou Yi straightforwardly: "That's the essence, interested or not?"

Ephemeral Jun showed a hint of confusion and surprise on his face: "My side would be very willing... except, I don't quite understand why your company can independently monopolize this technical system entirely, without needing us to be involved."

"From a benefit standpoint, the Evil Brain technology itself poses a natural suppression and threat to the Dream Demon clan, why would you give away the benefits?"

"Do you have any other requirements?"

"No other requirements."

Zhou Yi smiled: "It's only about what benefits the company, and how we can expedite existing technology and industrial advancement, that's the approach we choose."

"Still, the statement, Dream Demon clan is not the company's enemy."

"Really no other requirements?"

Ephemeral Jun carefully asked: "Please excuse my nagging, it's just that this matter is too significant... I have to make sure."

"None."

"Not one requirement?"

"…"

Zhou Yi's smile stiffened, losing his patience: "Like it or not, if not, then get lost."

As if he's begging them.

What attitude is this.

"Please don't be angry, don't be angry."

Ephemeral Jun accompanied with a grin, somehow pulled out a fan, fanning beside him: "Calm down, my fault, it's all my mistake, I'm someone with many thoughts... judging others by my own inferior heart."

"It's my blabbering, don't take it to heart."

Zhou Yi couldn't continue to lose his temper.

The person is one of the rulers of the Dream Demon clan and since they apologize humbly, it's really not a big deal.

"We definitely want to do it."

Ephemeral Jun stated earnestly: "Following your company's requirements on how to proceed, we'll do just that."

Zhou Yi's tone softened: "Actually, it's simple, our company intends to specifically recruit a batch of Dream Demons as Evil Brain operators, specializing in operating and observing consciousness in the Evil Brain Engine. Maintaining equipment, and further expanding consciousness development."

"There will be a stringent screening process and high demands for operator qualities. As the Evil Brain Engine is a new device of high value."

"Understand, understand."

Ephemeral Jun nodded quickly.

"Usurper Worm will enter the Earth side, proven to continue happening, blocking is worse than unblocking. Dream Demons should learn to face them, Evil Brain will be a great experience."

Zhou Yi seriously: "In the future, we'll also deploy the Evil Brain Engine into Jupiter, you must be aware of the situation there, Dream Demons finding their way there opens a broader activity and survival space. Jupiter is now entirely a world of Usurper Worms, everything is awaiting revitalization, there's no rejection of outsiders, however, the entry method is rather demanding."

Ephemeral Jun's eyes lit up: "Indeed, so it is."

Specific details were left to Canghai Jun to discuss with them.

Soon afterward.

Fengguncao finally came out from the Evil Brain.

Seeing mentor Tingyou Jun, this Dream Demon showed a relieved expression in its small eyes: "Teacher, you're finally here, inside that Swallower of Demons is very complex, very precise, the use and reshaping of consciousness fragments is entirely different from us..."

Tingyou Jun said: "Well, quickly thank Mr. Zhou, without him, you'd still be trapped inside."

The Dream Demon realized, seeing Zhou Yi beside him, then hurriedly said: "Thank you..."

Zhou Yi looked at this Dream Demon with interest: "What did you discover inside?"

"That is..."

After hesitating, Fengguncao finally spoke: "The flow of consciousness fragments in the Evil Brain has extremely corrosive and assimilative capabilities, which can form completely sealed structures, allowing fragments to cycle internally. They can break through all kinds of consciousness, I think that's one reason why Dream Demons, once trapped, cannot escape."

"Dream realms, in contrast, continuously separate and fracture, requiring Dream Demons to constantly maintain and refurbish to remain stable long-term. It even needs a large number of same-layer dream realm connections to stabilize each other."

"Comparatively, dream realms are like sandcastles on a beach—fragile, collapsing naturally, and shattered by consciousness impact. The Evil Brain space resembles an underground cave, with moss, rocks, and water forming a relatively closed system, which can spontaneously operate stably."

"If Evil Brain and dream realms could be connected, then dream realms would become the same stable structure, relieving Dream Demons of 99% of ceaseless repair work... enabling them to focus on creative new dream realm construction. I believe, the Swallower of Demons... no, the Evil Brain will be the future carrier for Dream Demons, it's so suited for them!"

Zhou Yi nodded as he listened: "Anything else?"

"Also..."

The Dream Demon's black pupil in white eyes contracted, speaking in a solemn tone: "The Evil Brain is actually always dreaming."

"It lives within dreams."

"Inside, I repaired its dreams, then heard its voice talking about explorers..."

Zhou Yi's gaze sharpened.
