Verne encased the remains of 7 glass men in White Gemstones and sent them into the unique Gem Channel structure of 404 City, where they were accelerated one by one to the surface area.

Hei Fu then received them on his end and immediately sent them to the Moon.

With the previous experience, using the Anomalous Four-dimensional Organ this time became quite smooth.

For caution's sake, Zhou Yi still accepted Lumi's suggestion, recalling Xu Yuhang and Kobayashi Hina to have these two skilled workers make contact with the glass men.

As for Verne in 404 City, there's no need to worry.

Because the entire gemstone city has been completely sealed by 42 Evil Brain Motors, consciousness cannot escape from within.

Thanks to the Gem Channel structure of 404 City, the Evil Brain Motors can connect directly into the city. Throughout the city-breaking process, under the manipulation of Dream Demons, the Evil Brain Fleet captured the investigative consciousnesses overseeing various floors, advancing smoothly.

It's worth mentioning that the deeper underground, the more excited the Evil Brains became.

The continuously increasing high pressure, high energy, and high temperature, similar to those on Jupiter, made them more active, and their consciousness capture ability was further enhanced.

There was absolutely no damage or destruction.

Zhou Yi finally decided to send Wu Yi to continue the negotiations with Verne.

"Chairman, I don't know if I can do it well."

As the Minister of Land, Wu Yi hesitated: "Lu Jiu... Verne is no longer what it used to be, it's changed a lot and has acted as an agent for many years..."

Zhou Yi said, "Don't think too much. I just want to try to figure out one thing from your perspective—why Verne was so loyal to the Heavenly People before, unlike other agents."

"Oh! If that's the case, I can give it a try."

The Bone Man finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Following Hei Fu along the Gem Channel, Wu Yi was sent into 404 City.

Finally facing his old friend, Verne immediately reacted: "It's you?"

"The Wasteland Development Company was originally established by the old human forces, no wonder it rose so quickly, now everything makes sense..."

Wu Yi said, "Lu Jiu, why didn't you come to find me when you were alive?"

"Find you for what? So you could be imprisoned in this place with me?" Verne retorted.

"I was also imprisoned, might as well have two of us together. We could chat occasionally."

"..."

This left Verne momentarily stunned.

Then he let out a cackling laugh: "I always thought I was smart, and everyone used to say I was smart, but a smart Bone Man never thought of that."

"Yeah... I should have asked you instead of assuming I was right."

Wu Yi continued: "I heard that with enough power, it's possible to resurrect the deceased companions on the island. Can you do that now?"

"No way. At least the Light Core Body can't. When they died, the fragmentation was severe, if I had been the Light Core Body at that time, maybe it was possible... But now it's not."

"Then become a Transformer!"

Wu Yi said, "As long as the power continues to increase, resurrection can be achieved. That's what the chairman said."

"Transformer... That is an unattainable level."

Facing his former compatriot, Verne became much more talkative and relaxed.

"In the past, we thought Bone Men could never become Skywalkers, now you've become a Light Core Body, why not consider aiming for Transformer?"

Wu Yi was puzzled: "Why is it that the stronger you become, the more timid you become?"

"You once said you wanted to build an unsinkable island, all made of bones. People wouldn't have to worry about bodily damage and inability to repair, and memories could be stored there."

"I haven't forgotten that."

Verne pointed to a towering fortress in the distance: "That's the island I built, made of 10 million bone pieces. Each bone can record and store Bone Man memories."

"But you're also right, I've become stronger and more timid. Seeing such terrifying powers existing in the world, my confidence has dwindled... But ultimately, these are all excuses."

Verne sighed: "I'm just afraid of death, increasingly afraid of death."

"Originally, I thought that being alone would make life increasingly dull... But the longer I live, the more I feel life has more meaning, so I don't want to die, and I desire eternal life, even immortality. So I try all means to extend my cycle, following the Heavenly People..."

The conversation between the two Bone Men gradually became more engaging.

Meanwhile, the experiment on the Moon yielded results, and Zhou Yi was forced to interrupt his observations.

Electromechanical expert Lumi said: "Out of 7 Green Gemstones, 5 have completed sampling and have now reverted to White Gemstones. The residual substances were consumed along with the information. We plan to keep the remaining 2, possibly useful for testing in other fields."

"However, we have also obtained very important intelligence. Now, let the two old human frontline experimenters report to you."

On the gemstone screen.

Kobayashi Hina, dressed in her female officer's uniform, said, "Mr. Zhou, I've been wandering in the Time Maze here and have had interactions with three people inside."

"From the conversation, they are actually not much different from old humans, but one of them is a bit peculiar."

"I met the young one. He asked me what year it was, and I told him that humanity had already been destroyed, that we are the ghosts of this era. That man said, 'Has Great Qin already fallen?' He seemed to be an Ancient China person, from the Qin dynasty, and was very saddened upon hearing this."

"That man said his name is He Zifu. Originally, he was avoiding the chaos of war but was taken to the sky, where he has been serving in servitude to the Heavenly Emperor, building palaces and expanding territories."

Zhou Yixin thought.

In other words, Heavenly People capturing humans to create glass men has been ongoing since even before old humans.

It makes sense when you think about it.

Jupiter's transformation and the Moon's transformation have involved their internal deep structure, and the massive scale of the Ring Solar Wall... such feats cannot be accomplished overnight.

But why did Heavenly People remain hidden behind the scenes of the universe until the outbreak of the Circular Flow?

"Anything else?"

Kobayashi Hina said, "No more."

"I happen to know what they're doing."

Xu Yuhang chimed in from the side, "During the time jump, I heard them talking about 'finding the treasure,' 'fixing it in the gemstone,' 'sending it to the Sun,' referring to the black hole Vernes mentioned."

"And also."

"I saw their death situations; they were all disintegrated and killed after being illuminated by purple light, just like the previous glass man."

Zhou Yi was somewhat surprised to hear this.

There's also string light underground?

He originally thought that string light was a particular power exclusive to the Sun, but if it exists deep within Earth's core area, then perhaps string light does not originate from the Sun.

Could it come from the Time Master?

The Giant Bone Fish fused with the Time Master's four-dimensional organ, transforming into a string light battleship that used this purple energy to kill the Skywalkers on Jupiter's moon. It also comes from the underground... it does make sense.

"That black hole, I've analyzed it with my body."

The silently standing Night God suddenly spoke, "That's an organ of the Time Master, called the Time Storage Chamber, different from the Time Flow Device and Time Reverse Device. It's a very large organ. By comparison, the Time Flow Device is like blood cells, while the Time Storage Chamber is akin to the heart or lungs, roughly at this magnitude difference."

Zhou Yi was taken aback: "Normal Time Flow Devices are at the Transmutator Level... then what level should this Time Storage Chamber be?"

"Breaking Dimension."

"This is above the Transmutator level, capable of breaking the space-time barrier between dimensions, but only high-dimensional life forms can possess this capability... you might say because they break dimensions, they belong to high-dimensional life forms. That level cannot be described by common sense; only those who break dimensions can understand it."

The Night God then adopted a profoundly solemn expression: "Let's still talk about the Time Storage Chamber. Its organ structure, just as its name suggests, has the function of pausing time almost like saving it, keeping time stopped at a particular moment."

Zhou Yi was shocked.

A time pause machine.

Does such a defiant thing truly exist?

"Regarding its mechanism, I only have a vague understanding that this organ can stop the movement of things it covers or engulfs, subsequently breaking down these movement dimensions into massive amounts of energy and matter. It can be understood as the Time Master's digestive organ."

The Night God said, "The Heavenly People want to capture the Time Storage Chamber, intending to use this organ to digest or stop something."

"But reaching the Breaking Dimension level, do Heavenly People really have the ability to capture and contain it? I express skepticism."

She frowned and spoke, "Think about it. If the strength of Heavenly People is above the Time Master, they could directly enter the four-dimensional space channel. You've been there; there's no way Heavenly People wouldn't know about it. They could directly obtain it in the past, so why don't they do that? The reason is simple, they can't handle the Time Master."

"In other words, they haven't reached the level of Breaking Dimension."

Zhou Yi asked, "Are Heavenly People still at the Transformer stage?"

"I believe they are."

The Night God explained, "But among Transformers, the gap might be even larger than between humans and insects. The essence of Transformers is the ability to use energy to generate specific matter."

"Under normal circumstances, they can only create their elemental matter. But if the matter they can generate keeps increasing, from stone to soil, from air to water, from metal to magma... this capability is equivalent to creation. They can completely build a celestial body from nothing."

"Heavenly People are Transformers, using celestial bodies for transformation. Their ability is not limited to self-circulating gemstone creation, otherwise they wouldn't become important components on Jupiter and the Moon."

"The internal classification of Transformers, from bottom to top, is single form, multiform, and creation of all things."

"Based on existing information, I believe Heavenly People belong to at least the multiform stage, possessing the ability to generate two or more substances."
