Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 584 Is there still such an operation?

Meanwhile, on the forbidden continent.

Sun Yat-sen University has undergone a large-scale renovation and has been completely transformed.

Universities, which had previously remained silent, have now become bustling with activity.

The sounds emanating from Sun Yat-sen University via electronic modem echoed in every building.

Please do not damage the experimental equipment. Handle it with care and return it to its original place after use.

"Cooking food in the laboratory is strictly prohibited. Lucia has received a major demerit and will be publicly reprimanded throughout the school. If she does it again, she will be expelled!"

"The dormitory area will be undergoing renovation and maintenance this week, from 12:00 noon to 7:00 pm, for a total of 5 days. Please arrange your rest time accordingly to avoid affecting your normal routine."

"This month's salaries are being distributed by the finance office. Please collect your salaries in an orderly manner."

……

All of this pleased the dragon greatly.

It has now become an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a white vest and leaning on a cane, looking no different from an old man going to the market to buy vegetables.

This is the image of the dragon as it is presented to people.

The old man said, "With the ability to communicate with the outside world, the Dragon Palace's talent cultivation characteristics can now be fully utilized. The Wasteland Development Company is indeed remarkable; no wonder it is developing rapidly and is now unstoppable."

Zhou Yi simply smiled and said, "The world is developing. Things that were impossible in the past can be done now, which is normal."

The dragon remained silent for a while.

"If you lose too much and too badly, it's hard to believe you can win."

It slowly said, "To be honest, I still don't think you can win. The world is never short of talented people who challenge the heavens and man, but none of them have ever made much of a splash... It's not that I'm trying to boost others' morale, but the mountain you're about to challenge is too high."

Even water droplets can wear away stone.

Zhou Yi didn't care at all: "There's one more thing you're wrong about. I'm not alone; there are many other people who are climbing this mountain with me."

"A little splash may not be useful, but if there are enough splashes and they are big enough, over the years, they will be enough to flood Jinshan Temple."

The old man sighed: "If I had met you many years ago, perhaps many things would have been different."

The dragon seemed to be implying something.

Zhou Yi followed up by asking, "Is it related to the first resistance against the Celestials?"

The old man gazed into the distance.

"When I first launched the rebellion, I was also full of ambition and confidence, and I tried to persuade the sun god to join me in the war against the celestial beings."

"At that time, both the Sun God and I were at our peak, and apart from the Lord of the Dead Sea, we were invincible in the world."

"The most powerful conceptual life form is me and it. We represent the gods of that era, ruling the lands of the East and West. That was the era in which gods existed."

"The Light Core Giants descended, initially hunting various material life forms, until nothing on the ground could stop them, at which point they began hunting conceptual life forms from all over the world."

The dragon reminisced about the past.

“Conceptual life and material life originally had conflicts and confrontations, with each side winning and losing. However, conceptual life itself is almost immortal, so it always has the last laugh, and therefore we didn’t care at that time.”

"When we win, we always think we can keep winning. That was our mindset back then."

"What impact does it have on us if the giants destroy this world? We can always be resurrected and make a comeback."

"So when the mountain dogs were first captured and hunted, we didn't help them. When the skeletons were torn apart and eaten, we still didn't care. The Lord of the Seas and the Skywalkers also became their prey, and we still stood by and watched."

"Later, we became the prey, and naturally no one stood up for us."

The old man's tone became somewhat desolate as he spoke.

"Zhou Yi, you are right."

"Don't think you're invincible and will always be on the winning side. Fortune changes every day. This saying has been passed down from the old human era, and most people know it, but no one truly understands it."

"But by the time you realize it, it's often too late, and you've missed the best opportunity."

Zhou Yi asked, "The best opportunity? What do you mean?"

"It was the Age of Gods, or, according to the definition of the Electromechanical City, the post-divine age after the disappearance of the old humans. At that time, various groups on the ground still believed in us conceptual beings, revered us as gods, and worshipped and sacrificed to us."

Long, leaning on his cane, sat on an old public bench next to him.

It looked at the students and teachers coming and going on campus, and its lips twitched: "Back then, we could have started mobilizing earlier and getting the light-nuclear races and humans in various regions to unite. The early light-nuclear giants were only level 1 light-nuclear bodies, which were clumsy and not as strong as they are now. They were capable of being hunted and captured."

"However, once they have collected various life samples, the existing abilities in this world become ineffective against them."

"The Sun God and I began to fight back, and at that time we thought victory was almost certain. Because we were immortal, and the light core giant controlled by the Celestials, or the Celestials behind them, could not control the Great Holy Spirit."

"Our strongest area of ​​expertise, the realm of consciousness, is the Celestials' weakest blind spot. Therefore, we decided to act swiftly and decisively, not giving the Celestials time to continue gathering intelligence and perfecting the Titans. So, together with the Sun God, we launched a full-scale counterattack, hunting down the Titans with the deployed light cores head-on."

"Looking at the sky from the bottom of a well" probably describes our state back then.

A self-deprecating smile appeared on the dragon's face.

"Initially, we achieved victory after victory, destroying many giants. Giants initially had many weaknesses, such as being afraid of large amounts of water and air penetrating their bodies. Once water and air breached their protective layers, they would quickly crack and turn into sand, rapidly destroying themselves."

Zhou Yi couldn't help but think of it.

The first ruby ​​he ever read was the one where the Celestials threw a portion of the gem's body onto Earth, and it quickly turned into sand and collapsed.

It turned out that it had been destroyed by corrosion from water and air. "However, these defects were quickly repaired."

A hint of regret flashed in the old man's eyes: "The Light Core Giants are constantly optimizing themselves, and it's becoming increasingly difficult to fight them. However, we're still evenly matched, but we're at a disadvantage."

"But after the Celestials made a new move, the battlefield was quickly reversed."

"With the Lord of the Dead Sea joining the battlefield, we immediately suffered heavy losses, with a large number of conceptual beings being continuously killed..."

Zhou Yi's heart sank upon hearing this: "The Celestial Beings have controlled the Lord of the Dead Sea?"

"It's not about control, it's about having a driving method."

The old man rubbed his cane with both hands: "The Light Core Giant stirred up the Dead Sea, attracting the Dead Sea Lord's light burst and torrents. But in the end, the Dead Sea Lord only attacked us, as if he couldn't see the giant's existence."

Zhou Yi immediately understood.

Celestial beings are transformers; while the realms of consciousness and life cultivation are indeed blind spots for them, they are experts in transforming planets.

Since they can modify celestial bodies, utilizing the Dead Sea also falls within their capabilities.

By targeting the Dead Sea, the Lord of the Dead Sea will be made to act.

The dragon continued, "The Celestials used this method to have the Lord of the Dead Sea carry out a large-scale purge of conceptual life, killing so many that they dared not leave the consciousness side... The Sun God and I were the main targets of the hunt."

"The Sun God was a conceptual life form whose strength was second only to the Lord of the Dead Sea. It was eventually swallowed up by the Lord of the Dead Sea and no longer exists."

"I am because I have merged with a celestial being, which makes me a prime target for their hunting."

Zhou Yi has always been very concerned about this matter.

"That celestial being, do you still remember it?"

Long looked at Zhou Yi with a profound gaze: "You want to know?"

"Ah."

"Promise me one thing, and I'll tell you everything I know."

"what's up?"

"Help me leave the forbidden continent and evade the Celestials' pursuit."

The dragon said in a deep voice, "I have been trapped here for too long, clinging to life by relying on the Dragon Palace, but the fragments of my consciousness are becoming fewer and fewer. If no consciousness continues to remember and spread them, I will grow weaker and weaker until I am forgotten. I need to find a new way to survive, otherwise I will only be imprisoned here."

Zhou Yi frowned.

The person before us was personally hunted down by the Celestials. In terms of the Celestials' level of attention, he far surpassed the three brothers, the Black Emperor, the Old King, and the Lord of War.

The problem is that I have no way to block out the celestial beings.

Zhou Yi thought for a moment: "I have two ideas."

"One option is to go to other new worlds that the Celestials cannot influence. This is the path I recommend, and it's also the safest."

"Secondly, I will modify you and send you into a special space to transform you into a spark life form. This is an alternative plan, and its advantage is that you can coexist with me."

"But let me make this clear: both of these methods can only get you out of here. I can't guarantee what will happen afterward."

Without hesitation, Long said, "Then let's go to the New World."

"In the new world, as long as I can move freely, I can make a comeback!"

Zhou Yi asked, "You rely on the Great Holy Spirit here. If you were to move to another world, could you exist there for a long time?"

The other party was silent.

This is also a limitation of conceptual life.

They are highly bound to the Great Holy Spirit, who is the source of their power and is difficult to separate. If they go to other planets, their conceptual life forms will quickly disappear and be forcibly returned.

The old man asked, "What does a spark of life look like?"

Zhou Yi opened his hand, and a ball of light, crackling with electricity, flew out from his palm.

"This is the Cat God, and also the spark of life."

"What I can guarantee is that after I transform you into a fire-type life form, you can leave this place."

After the life of the spark was transformed, the source became the concept of the Cat God.

Long then looked at Zhou Yi: "I don't want to choose either of these. I have a third option."

"A makeover."

Zhou Yi was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

"I'd like to borrow your company's shell for a while."

A sharp glint flashed in the old man's eyes: "The concept of a wasteland development company could awaken its consciousness at any moment, and its scale is already enormous... I have an ability called 'Deception,' and if you agree, I will merge with it to evade detection by the celestial beings."

"From now on, I will be able to walk in this world as its conceptual consciousness."

Zhou Yi was shocked.

And this kind of operation?
