Chapter 599 Happy cooperation
A man-made Holy Spirit is far more powerful than a man-made proxy.

Zhou Yi was curious again: "Can an artificial Great Holy Spirit be incubated in such an environment?"

"only……"

Canghai Jun smiled wryly: "Chairman, this kind of environment is not just 'just like this'. The dream demons have tried before, but they simply cannot replicate it. When I first saw that prototype conceptual life form, I was not sure for a moment."

"It was born in such an environment that was completely beyond my understanding, but it is absolutely a priceless conceptual life."

Zhou Yi then asked Xiaofu for his opinion.

"I don't know much about the Great Holy Spirit. In this area, the Dream Demons' understanding and knowledge are superior to mine. However... from a technical point of view, it should be directly related to the Celestial Gem."

Xiao Fu said, "In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the gemstone bodies of the Celestials are actually individual man-made celestial bodies. They operate independently, with geological movements based on gemstones, and a fluid environment of liquid methane, which provides multiple layers of protection and temperature changes for the gemstones."

"Based on what Canghai Jun just said, I actually have an idea."

"The collective consciousness formed by the combination of Celestial Gem cells is built with multiple glass people as the core brain, but isn't this itself just like an artificial Great Holy Spirit?"

"The structure of a gemstone is itself a material carrier of collective consciousness."

The tracing the flow offered another perspective.

Zhou Yi then consulted the Night God.

If we're talking about someone who understands gemstone structure best, then she's the one.

She is also an artificial Holy Spirit on the moon.

Yagami frowned and pondered for a long time before speaking: "So the town monsters and I are basically the same in terms of mechanism. No wonder only I can see them, while you can't observe them."

"Wait a minute, if you put it that way... perhaps..."

"wait for me."

"I need to make sure that's really what happened. Don't let go of my hand."

Her eyes suddenly changed color.

This time, Yagami's eyes were no longer heterochromatic, but had turned blood red.

Under her gaze, the Dementor-like monster in the town froze, as if it had been frozen in place.

From Yagami's perspective.

Zhou Yi saw that the monster in the town was covered with red lines. These red stripes formed different shapes of coils in its body, as if its body was filled with thin red blood vessels.

Each roll of red thread represents a person's information.

Two men drinking beer, a girl flying a kite, an old man playing with a dog, a person eating an egg, a child holding his parents' hands, a young man standing on a rooftop overlooking the scenery, a fisherman sitting by the river...

It records the lives of every resident of the small town.

Each resident exudes a great deal of self-awareness, which is another form of silent language, with a multitude of emotions and desires intertwined and entangled.

Yagami's eyes switched back to pitch black.

This time, Zhou Yi saw that black lines extended from the monster's body in the town, with the ends of the lines extending in all directions around the town, like a marionette.

He followed the black line and eventually found that the source of the line was in the many black gems that served as the carriers of the town's world.

It turns out that the monsters in the town were not only spawned by the projection of the old humans, but also by the gems.

"Did you see that?"

Night God said, "I felt something was off. Sure enough, this thing is made up of two parts: the consciousness capacity and memory core are in the black gem, supplied by the gem here, while the consciousness movement is the evolution of the activities of the old humans."

"Simply put, it is a consciousness that is hatched from a special reaction between the old humans and the gem cells."

"It is more accurate to say that the Great Holy Spirit is a distorted celestial consciousness than a great holy spirit."

Zhou Yi was taken aback: "Celestial Consciousness?"

He suddenly realized: "You mean, the old human projection has replaced the glass man here?"

"You can say that."

"but……"

Zhou Yi was puzzled: "If this is how you can form a celestial consciousness, why would they bother to cultivate a substitute for the glass people?"

"Because it's out of control."

Yagami, however, remained remarkably calm: "Haven't you noticed? This guy wanders around like a primal beast. As cyborgs, the Celestials aren't adept at the realm of consciousness; they won't take risks."

Zhou Yi also came to his senses.

We need to think about this from the perspective of humanity and nature.

If all that was needed was a consciousness entity, then simply grabbing any human would suffice. But the Celestials didn't do that.

The core foundation of the Celestial Being, an assembled life form, is the Glass Man.

The collective consciousness driven and dominated by the glass person is the true embodiment of humanity.

They are the genes of the Celestials.

If the goal is simply to fill the gem with consciousness, then that would be putting the cart before the horse.

The problem with the Celestials is that the Glassy Humans, as a genetic entity, are being depleted.

Zhou Yi asked, "Is there any potential risk associated with this guy?"

The town's monster, bewildered and confused, lurked around every resident, listening to their conversations and extracting fragments of their consciousness, much like a big child watching a spectacle.

"It's alright for now, it doesn't seem aggressive... I'll keep an eye on it. If there's any risk, I'll take it out."

Yagami said, "That's why I said it would take a long time. First, I need to find a way to control this thing and prevent it from affecting the old humans inside. As for how to finally settle it, I still need to think about it carefully."

Zhou Yi felt a little relieved: "Thank you for your hard work."

……

Shagang.

Zhou Yi landed on the roof of Emerald City on the black horse.

Back in 3101. Cat God appeared immediately and said, "Chairman, a representative from the Dream Demon Group is downstairs again requesting a visit. Shall we see him now?"

“Bring him up.”

Zhou Yi looked at Canghai Jun beside him and said, "Do you know the representative of the Dream Demon?"

"I know him."

He nodded and said, "The one who came is Ephemeral Lord, who is also an old acquaintance of mine, the Weaver Lord. Ephemeral Lord has a gentle personality and has long been dealing with outside groups. He is the one who handles important external cooperation. The previous negotiation agreement with the Black Emperor was facilitated by him."

Zhou Yi raised an eyebrow.

The fact that Mayfly-kun has stepped forward indicates that the Nightmare's side is taking this matter more seriously.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Zhou. It's a pleasure to finally meet you."

Mayfly is a very approachable fat man. He wears a black suit and a white shirt, has short hair, and a protruding belly, which makes him look somewhat comical.

"You're too kind, Mr. Ephemeral," Zhou Yi replied politely.

"It's nice to meet you, just a small token of my appreciation."

The other person placed a gift box on the table with both hands.

"What is this?" Zhou Yi asked.

Mayfly said, "You should find this useful. Please open it and take a look."

Zhou Yi nodded to Yuanxiao.

The angel of death tore open the gift box, revealing a wooden box. He opened the lid and found a celestial ruby ​​inside.

Zhou Yi nodded and said, "Then thank you very much."

"The Dream Demon Clan is indeed incredibly powerful."

"It's just a small token of our appreciation, Mr. Zhou. We've heard that the Electromechanical Knights are researching the Celestial Gem, so this is kind of a way of offering our own. But when it comes to extraordinary abilities, Mr. Zhou is the one who truly matters."

Mayfly sighed and said, "Madam Mei offended you one minute and then disappeared the next."

"She finally became the representative of the celestial beings... Please be lenient and do her a favor."

Zhou Yi glanced at the other person indifferently, then simply picked up his porcelain cup and drank his tea.

Mayfly forced a smile and said, "Um, could you please let her off this time? We are willing to offer a generous amount of Light Seeds to express our gratitude to you."

"There are rumors."

Zhou Yi said unhurriedly, "It is said that Madam Mei was reported for accepting and soliciting bribes, which led to her arrest and imprisonment by the supervisors. She is currently serving her sentence."

Mayfly's face stiffened: "Bribery and extortion... This must be a misunderstanding, absolutely a misunderstanding... She just took office, there must be some misunderstanding here."

"I heard, I heard."

Zhou Yi smiled slightly: "The supervisors are now cracking down on violations of regulations by proxy, and thoroughly investigating dereliction of duty by proxy. Madam Mei was investigated and found to have relied on bribery and extortion to act as a proxy for the Heavenly Man."

The other person's eyes went blank for a moment.

"So...we can't get out?"

"Who knows?"

"Mr. Zhou, could you help me out? The terms are negotiable."

"Sorry, I'm not that powerful."

"..."

Mayfly fell silent.

Finally, he gave a wry smile, cupped his hands, and said, "Mr. Zhou, we were blind to your greatness before, and we admit our mistake. You truly have extraordinary power and influence; before this, no one in the world has ever been able to control the destiny that is ordained by Heaven..."

Zhou Yi waved his hand: "This has nothing to do with me. I'm just a little better informed. If I'm innocent, even if the supervisors investigate thoroughly, there won't be any problems. You have to be strong yourself to succeed. Aren't the other proxies doing just fine?"

The other person sighed and glanced at Canghai Jun beside him.

"No wonder Canghai Jun came to me back then, saying he hoped we would carefully consider the company's demands... In my memory, Canghai Jun was extremely arrogant. I thought the company had some kind of way to control him, but now it seems I was just being narrow-minded."

Mayfly said solemnly, "We are very sorry for our previous offense. We are willing to offer 10 billion Light Seeds to formally express our sincere apologies and hope to eliminate the previous unpleasantness and misunderstanding."

"We only hope that you will support our subsequent efforts to promote the acting candidate."

This is a fixed price; I want to buy peace of mind.

Zhou Yi said softly, "As expected of the Dream Demon Clan, they are truly wealthy and powerful. The company's demands remain unchanged; we need to review the candidates for the acting role to avoid uncontrollable risks."

Money can be made, but the chosen proxy must align with the company's interests.

"understood."

Mayfly was quite decisive: "Then we will show our candidates to you, Mr. Zhou, so that you can conduct another round of selection. Is that alright?"

"not enough."

Zhou Yi said calmly, "Those who are not approved by the company cannot act as agents."

"..."

Mayfly remained silent for a long time this time, clearly discussing it with the other weavers.

He finally nodded: "I understand."

"That's fine."

Zhou Yi smiled slightly and extended his hand to him: "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

Mayfly shook hands with him and forced a smile.

The purpose is achieved.

Zhou Yi said to his assistant, "Yuanxiao, what are you standing there for? Serve the guests tea!"

"Yes, Chairman."
