The treatment for the dying Heavenly People continues, which also signifies the quiet implementation of the "Vanguard" project.

This is an important step in analyzing the characteristics of Star Dust.

Meanwhile.

Zhou Yi turned his attention back to Earth in the post-Wasteland era.

The support for the advancement of Building Life is ongoing.

The company's remaining two alien employees have both evolved into Light Core Bodies.

The Big Buddha is practicing on Jupiter's moon Europa.

The other employee, Yalong Bay, became a Light Core Body, choosing water as its element, and its surroundings have transformed into a vast lake.

Zhou Yi was curious and asked it why it chose that element.

Yalong Bay said, "Water is a very special substance. It nurtured the birth of most life on Earth."

"Over the past few years, by discussing and exchanging ideas in the communal area, I gradually realized there's a blind area in my existence—excessive introspection. I've been focusing only on the Building Life community itself, neglecting the connection with the external world."

"Life derives its meaning from interaction with all things external, as opposed to the non-living. The meaning and direction of Building Life might not lie within ourselves but outside, in the natural world."

This thinker of longstanding expressed insights that have settled over years.

"Chairman, though I rarely spoke, I have always been concerned about external changes, while also reading the various legacies left by old human civilization."

Yalong Bay calmly said, "I found that water has nurtured the life of this world, and most life, like water, can always adapt to external changes."

"There's a book called Tao Te Ching that says, 'The highest goodness is like water. Water benefits all things and does not compete, stays in places others despise, therefore close to the Dao.'"

"It describes the highest state as being like water. Water is good at nurturing all things without vying with them, residing in places people disdain, hence closest to the universal laws."

"The company has developed over eleven short years to its current state, from initially farming fields, to later producing various daily necessities and tools, to promoting energy, power, transportation, education, poverty alleviation public housing, Dead Sea relocation... almost everything done was what others were unwilling to do."

"But what the company has done benefits all others, yet it does not engage in monopolistic exploitation or profit-taking in various regions, instead calling on everyone to participate. This is the essence of the highest goodness like water."

This former largest Building Life in the company slowly explained, "The company's rise and unstoppable momentum quickly gained public support, to the point where it became a wave that no one could refuse, not by coincidence or accident. Instead, the company's operation almost aligns with the Dao, conforming to the universe's own laws."

"Like water."

"It is the key to the long-lasting prosperity of all things."

Zhou Yi listened in admiration.

This one is the true thinker among Building Life.

"Water brings the flow and change of life."

Yalong Bay continued, "The blood flowing within the bodies of flesh allows them to have the most diverse and rapid evolution capabilities."

"Life in the water environment is far more abundant than in non-water environments. Especially the microorganisms that go unnoticed, lacking a means to vocalize—they are the silent majority of this world, mostly living in water."

"So I chose water as an element, opting to engage and connect with most life."

"This has given me a very peculiar experience. Now water has become a part of my life system, and they traverse within me, along with many lives swimming inside me."

"Their curiosity, confusion, instinct, fear, joy, ignorance, fearlessness, the first spark of awakened consciousness... all feedback into stimulating my thoughts. They are a part of me, and I help them survive better."

Zhou Yi also took notice.

Now, aside from the previous four cave vaults, Yalong Bay has many streams flowing across its body. It is no longer as desolate and barren as before, with dense grass growing and quite a few small trees.

It looks almost like it has the characteristics of organic life.

This form.

Is no longer the original submarine base.

It is becoming a mountain.

"Chairman, I finally understand you now."

"The highest goodness like water is the reason for the continuity and grandeur of life."

Yalong Bay's voice was filled with a sense of relief and joy, "Building Life does not need to be stagnant, nor contemplate a terminal connection of its own group. We are inherently inseparable from nature. We are part of the world, and the world is our kin. As long as we become like water, we coexist with other life."

Its understanding of the world has far surpassed its peers.

Other Building Life still linger on the level of excavation capabilities and profession, while Yalong Bay already ponders the ultimate meaning of Building Life, knowing where to go.

Zhou Yi also felt some solemn respect and remarked, "On this path you are on, I can offer neither advice nor help, because your understanding of life has surpassed mine. I can only wish you good luck and a pleasant journey."

"Thank you."

Yalong Bay modestly said, "Chairman, my crude imitation of you, of the company, then integrating a bit of change unique to Building Life."

"However, I also have some insignificant insights."

"Now that I've integrated the element of water, I can use water as energy and also collect and produce a large amount of water. In the water environment, I've found that the Cave People are especially active, particularly in areas with favorable temperatures. They have a much longer lifespan in water, living about two to three times longer, approximately allowing one generation to live through the time of two to three generations."
