Wasteland Development Diary

Chapter 122 Verne's Allegiance


Three levels of Transformers.

Single form and polymorphous are easy to understand, but Zhou Yi has many doubts about the most powerful of all creations.

"The creation of all things can produce only ordinary matter, right? It shouldn't include life; otherwise, the tianren wouldn't be so weak in the field of life."

"Yes, it cannot create life."

Night God nodded: "It only can almost replicate all matter on the material side. But matter is only a component of life; life is special and complex."

"The Supervisors stationed by the Heavenly People in Earth's orbit, the one we captured, is a single form."

"The material it can produce is hydrogen, and the light cage it releases is also created by ejecting a large amount of hydrogen for directional three-dimensional shaping, continuously producing high-energy effects... According to old humans, this is a controlled nuclear fusion reaction."

Zhou Yi then realized.

At the Transformer level, it means using controlled nuclear fusion.

"The Heavenly People can at least produce gems and hydrogen, so they are undoubtedly polymorphous."

Night God's conclusion was well-reasoned.

Zhou Yi thought for a moment: "The Heavenly People confirm that the structure of 404 City can capture Time Storage Chambers... which means they have dealt with Time Master and acquired four-dimensional organs."

"In theory, the Heavenly People could also possess Time Flow Devices and Time Reverse Devices. If a Gemstone Body were to use these two four-dimensional organs, what would the result be?"

He posed a question: "The Time Flow Device would only consume the life of the gemstone itself, but the Time Reverse Device should be quite useful. Haven't glass people already stopped being born? The reason is the lack of an Intelligence Core; if the remnants of those glass people were restored through a Time Reverse Device..."

Night God shook his head: "That can't be done."

"If the Time Reverse Device were applied to glass people, it would cause their movements to reverse. The reversal would make the glass people return to their previous timeline, not within the Time Reverse Device, like being reborn with memories... One would have to bring them back from that timeline to truly restore them. Only the Time Master can do that, mere organs are far from enough."

Zhou Yi was stunned.

Doesn't this sound like some kind of time-traveling rebirth story?

Could those urban legends about reborn individuals be related to the Time Master's Time Reverse Device?

"As for the Time Storage Chamber..."

Night God furrowed her brows: "I think you're right. They have previous capturing experience; otherwise, they wouldn't be so confident to drill 404 deep into the Earth."

"Based on the current information, I believe it's mostly like this."

"The Heavenly People confirmed the presence of a Time Storage Chamber in the Earth's core and mantle region, so they built 404 City, operated by 7 glass people to enter deep into the Earth's core, to capture it with this special Gemstone Body."

"But in the mantle, they encountered string light that wiped out the glass people. The Heavenly People had to change strategy and add a Seventh Agent sequence, selecting Verne to replace the glass people and continue advancing 404 City. They used the safest Bone Man as the filler for this Gemstone Body."

She rested her chin on her palm: "However, there's something a bit strange. The glass people were attacked by string light in a shallower mantle region, but Verne delved deeper without any impact."

Zhou Yi said: "I think string light only affects the Heavenly People and glass people."

"Previously, the Giant Bone Fish used string light to kill the Heavenly People, but it was unaffected itself. Although it has fused with Time Master's four-dimensional organs, it is still of the Guangna Species with the bone fish structure."

"Exactly."

Night God's brows relaxed: "There is also string light on Jupiter, those Purple Skies and Demon Stars are different forms of string light. Yet, Cave People, Pan Trees, and Mud Tree People are minimally disturbed. The most affected Mud Tree People may just experience slight memory loss without impacting their life."

"Only glass people die instantly when encountering string light."

Zhou Yi made a sound of agreement.

He suddenly thought.

Glass people are the brains and central nervous system of the Heavenly People, with 7 being the minimum complement for them.

The Gemstone Body structure of 404 is precisely one Heavenly Person?

"When you put it that way."

Night God's eyes also lit up: "I'll go over and take a look; maybe I can find some new clues."

With that said.

She quickly disappeared from where she was, appearing inside 404 City through the Evil Brain Motor tunnel.

Zhou Yi returned his gaze to Jue Mingzi's screen.

At this moment, Wu Yi and Verne were standing under the White Bone Castle, still reminiscing with each other.

"Do you think we're lucky or unlucky?"

Verne touched the bone chain on his neck: "Clearly, I just wanted to live peacefully on a small island, living a life of indifference to the world, and then got hit on the head by the Heavenly People's gemstone. Our hometown was ruined, and we both ended up in prison."

"But strangely, we both survived and instead became high-intensity beings that we would never have dared imagine before, ascending to a life level that most Bone Men dream of."

"I never thought of such a thing."

Wu Yi explained: "However, over the years, I've learned one thing from the company. Always look forward."

"What happened in the past can't be changed. We can't go back and stop the gemstones' fall from the Heavenly People. I have to find a way to become a Transformer so that everyone can be revived."

Verne cracked his finger bones loudly: "If it were the past, I might have thought you were overestimating yourself, but now I think maybe you're right."

"Perhaps nothing is impossible in the world. Once, I thought the omnipotent Heavenly People could be killed by Bone Fish. The Giant Bone Fish was born from the mantle or even the Earth's core, mimicking its path. Perhaps we too could reach its level. Bone Fish and Bone Man are just two different branches of the Guangna Species."

"Maybe, there truly will be such a day in the future."

Just then.

Kobayashi Hina and Xu Yuhang returned to 404 City, starting a comprehensive inspection of this city. They are consciousness projections, not afraid of death, and can enter any Heavenly People Gem to conduct the most thorough searches of the city.

Verne was then sent back to the Moon to face Zhou Yi.

"Chairman, I've got the full story."

"The reason Verne fervently believes in the Heavenlies is that they represented the most extreme power. On the day the gemstone fell from heaven, Verne realized there was nothing he could do but comply. Later, when selected as an agent, he believed the Heavenly People were omnipotent and thus was convinced they were right."

"However, the scene you showcased of the Heavenly People being slaughtered, and their fleeing, and even corpses floating in space made him realize the Heavenlies have weaknesses and fears. The more he once believed unwaveringly in them, the more hate and rage he feels now."

Zhou Yi could understand this.

A fanatic believer's backlash and destruction are even crazier when their beliefs collapse.

Human history has repeatedly proven this point.

Wu Yi hesitated a moment: "Verne actually also had a lot of resentment towards the Heavenly People, including reasonable requests for agency, which the Heavenlies never responded to, always saying they were inferior creatures required to fulfill their mission."

"In the past, these seemed justified due to the powerful Heavenly People. Now all this resentment is exploding finally."

This was a good thing.

Without support from the Heavenly People, with the agency's cycle a hidden death countdown.

Seeing a new chance and choice now, Verne had possibilities to work for the company.

Zhou Yi asked: "Is he willing to work for the company?"

"He's very willing and has even actively proposed to join the company."

Wu Yi explained: "Verne stated very clearly, he had no choice, his only hope was to find the evolution method of the Giant Bone Fish, thus shirking off the agency cycle's death threat."

"Now, he only wishes we support him, to continue searching further underground. Previously, it was challenging as resources couldn't come in due to external restrictions, making further exploration difficult, everything else he is willing to cooperate on unconditionally with us."

Zhou Yi nodded: "That's not a problem."

He very much wanted to solve the mystery of the Giant Bone Fish.

A while later.

Night God returned.

She held a crystalline, transparent gem structure in her hand, shaped like a magic cube, with a center core being a regular icosahedron ruby: "I found this. Judging by its quality, the records should be quite complete. That's why I came back to watch it with you."

"Alright."

Zhou Yi nodded: "Then let's play it."

"No rush, grab some wine, and we can watch while drinking."

"..."

Zhou Yi reluctantly told Yuan Xiao: "Get some beer."

"Yes, Chairman."
