Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 710 What? The Celestial Being is dead?

The day was sunny and breezy.

The mansion's open-air restaurant.

Taotie Gong and Newbell were drinking and eating hot pot.

Hot pot is now popular in both the eastern and western continents, not only because the wasteland development company promotes it vigorously, but also because Chairman Zhou Yi is particularly fond of it.

This important figure, who doesn't usually like to appear in public, made an unprecedented appearance in the advertisement, and his intimate scene of eating hot pot with Yagami, who was dressed in casual clothes, left a deep impression on many people.

Hot pot is delicious and affordable, with prices ranging from low to high, allowing customers to choose according to their budget. Whether it's an ordinary family struggling to make ends meet or a wealthy and powerful family, hot pot is a frequent sight on their dining tables.

At this moment, the gluttonous public dining table is not serving the traditional spicy hot pot, but a modified version of the yin-yang hot pot, with half mushroom soup base and half tomato soup base, fresh, fragrant, sweet and sour.

Newbell, the mountain dog, swallowed a string of tripe and took a sip of chilled soy milk: "The company has already raised the banner against the Celestials, but the Celestials are unmoved. Is it really okay for us to pretend we didn't see this? ... You know what, this soy milk is actually quite good, it really goes well with hot pot... The company is really professional when it comes to food."

"Don't worry, brother."

Taotie picked up a roll of beef, dipped it in satay sauce, and said, "Even the celestials aren't in a hurry, so why are we, as their agents, in such a rush? In the end, aren't we just doing free labor? Aside from modifying our bodies, we don't get any compensation. Let's just get by and see what happens. Why risk our lives like this..."

“Brother is right.”

Newbell nodded: "It's just that I'm a little uneasy. I've been feeling restless lately, like something big is about to happen... You know, my predictions and intuitions are usually very accurate. It's just that I can't tell whether it's something good or something bad."

"It's easy."

Taotie wiped his mouth with a damp towel: "When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it."

"Look."

The Seaman representative gestured: "It's nothing more than the Celestials deciding to wipe out the company, so we cheer and charge in. But as usual, the front lines are all cleaned up by the Light Core Giants, and we don't know if the Overseers will take action... It's not our turn, our level is not even worth a second glance."

“That’s true.” Newbell smiled with relief. “Our role models are a mixed bag. We do whatever we say and do, and the Celestials don’t care at all.”

"Yes."

Taotie Gong grinned and said, "This is actually a good thing. All along, acting as an agent has only required completing our assigned tasks. The Celestials don't have any expectations of us, so let's not create trouble for ourselves."

"Brother is right. I'll raise a toast to you."

Newbell seemed relieved and raised his glass to clink with Taotie Gong's.

The two shared a drink.

Taotie put down his wine cup and looked at the clock on the wall; the timekeeper was telling the time.

"Why hasn't Yuri arrived yet?"

Their get-together is a monthly event, a tradition where everyone shares what they have.

Over the years, they have maintained a tacit understanding.

Because of his position and responsibilities, Daixing had few people he could talk to. Among them were some eccentric individuals who lived a solitary life, so the three Taotie Gongs, who initially only exchanged information periodically, eventually became old friends over the years.

When we're together, we can tell jokes that only we understand, complain and tease each other—something we can't do in public.

Although Yuri had spent a long time in a mental hospital in the past, he always managed to find a way to get away from there first, so having a meal here was no problem for him.

Newbell, having had a few drinks, spoke more freely: "Yuri is probably delayed on Proxima Centauri. Didn't we hear that something seemed to have happened on Proxima Centauri, that it suddenly started shining brightly at a high intensity... Maybe it's a traffic jam, or a stellar energy burst that caused the delay?"

"Nothing will happen. The biggest advantage of immortality is that you can't die. Besides, there's a stellar passage, so we'll get here eventually."

Taotie Gong shook his head: "Something's not right."

“Yuri has always been punctual and never late, a trait he has maintained for over a hundred years. Now he is twelve minutes late, something that has never happened before.”

Its expression was somewhat solemn.

Just then, a white figure suddenly flashed and landed.

“See, they’re here,” Newbell laughed. “The current situation is stable; there won’t be any problems.”

Yuri, who arrived, wore a strange expression.

It felt like confusion, tension, and worry.

"what happened?"

Taotie asked, "What trouble did you encounter on the road? Sit down and eat, and we can talk while we eat."

The panda was still somewhat distracted.

Newbell joked, "What happened? Why do you look like the sky has fallen? Tell me, did you go mad from practicing immortality cultivation again? Let me tell you, many times we need to discuss things more and look at problems from multiple perspectives to avoid getting stuck in a dead end..."

"The Celestials have been defeated."

The panda's words startled both of his agents.

"Celestial beings".

Yuri said again, "We've already lost. The company has won."

"..."

Taotie Gong and Newbell's expressions changed drastically.

They knew that this colleague was not joking.

"what is going on?"

"How could they lose before the fight even started?"

For the first time ever, the panda grabbed a bottle of wine from the side and gulped it down in one go, then wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth with his furry paw.

"The company has taken over Jupiter. Just now, the Celestials, having lost all their strength, launched a frantic counterattack against Jupiter. As a result, all the Celestial warriors who charged were wiped out, dying in just 7 seconds... The remaining Celestials tried to move with the Sun, but were all captured and controlled by Jupiter. The company is now preparing to notify all parties."

"Mr. Zhou also asked me to inform you...so that we can make preparations in advance."

Taotie Gong and Newbell also looked bewildered.

"It's not that we don't trust you, it's just..."

The Pandaren slurped down another gulp of wine: "You'll find out if you ask the Old King to use the Sky Survey Telescope."

Taotie immediately contacted the No. 1 agent through the proxy channel.

[Number Two (Taotie Gong)]: Did the celestial beings really lose the battle?
[Number One]: Hmm.

By invoking the old king's celestial telescope, Taotie Gong saw clearly.

The celestial beings around the sun were all pierced by the purple string light, like frozen specimens, completely unable to move.

The three surrogate officers drank heavily for a while in silence.

They need alcohol to alleviate their current state of frenzy.

After a while.

Taotie Gong snapped out of his daze, his mind racing: "You mean the company wants us to prepare? Looks like they're going to deal with us? Are we being exiled to another planet, or are we going to jail?"

The panda-man shook his head: "Mr. Zhou said he invited us to be guides for the Celestials."

Newbell exclaimed, "What's that?"

Yuri said, "Our job is to promote and organize the Celestial Beings. We are responsible for two parts of the work. The first part is to educate the public about the Celestial Beings and help them understand them. The second part is to guide the new generation of Celestial Beings."

"If we wish, we can also become the new generation of celestial beings and be role models of celestial beings in the new era."

Newbell looked horrified: "The company has already been cultivating Celestials on its own! It seems Mr. Zhou has been planning this for a long time... No wonder this ended so quickly. I thought it would be at least a century-long war, but it turns out it was just a matter of when the company decided to end it..."

Taotie Gong's eyes lit up: "Mr. Zhou means you're willing to support us, the Heavenly People?"

"Yes."

Yuri nodded: "However, the Celestials developed by the company are quite different in form from the traditional Celestials of the past. We have to go and see the actual situation before we can invite them. The Celestials were defeated, but they are very stubborn and refuse to surrender, preferring to be destroyed... So the company simply decided to cultivate the Celestials themselves."

Taotie Gong immediately looked at his two companions: "Gentlemen, this is an opportunity not to be missed. The celestial beings are ungrateful; we must seize this chance. Now we are no longer acting as their agents, but can be true celestial beings!"

"I'm willing to go. What do you two think?"

Newbell exclaimed excitedly, "Go! If we can become celestial beings, who would want to act as our proxies! No, we're the instructors now, guiding the celestial beings!"

Yuri said, "Me too."

"Let's go! Brothers, let's go and join them!"

Taotie immediately took his two old friends and flew towards the company.

……

Meanwhile, Europa, extremely far from Earth.

"Keep going, keep going! Speed ​​up, speed up!"

"Faster, bigger, stronger!"

"Your current level is still far from being able to fight against celestial beings! The enemy is still watching with predatory eyes, so don't let your guard down for a moment!"

The Earth Demon sternly reprimanded the trainees.

As the only Earth life form to break through the orbital blockade of the Celestials and enter the universe to roam, the Earth Demons are most aware of the terror of the Celestials.

They can mass-produce transmutants.

Sixteen Transformer Guardians have been sealing off Earth.

If it weren't for my fortuitous encounter in the mantle that connected me with those mysterious time-traveling beings, I wouldn't have been able to break through the blockade on Earth's orbit.

Upon first stepping into the universe, seeing the blue planet that had given birth to him being occupied and sealed off by the celestial beings, the Earth Demon was both angry and resentful.

Kill these outsiders!
It launched an assassination attempt against the Celestials by roaming the dimension of time.

It just didn't last long.

The string light that was originally infallible was countered by the Celestials, who created a hemispherical protective device called the "String Light Curved Surface." Many of these devices were installed around the Sun Wall to seal the string light emitted by the String Civilization.

This is a mature technology.

A typical string beam surface has a power of 5 strings. Each additional string beam increases the complexity. With silicon crystal gemstone material, the theoretical limit for a single string beam surface is 206 beams. However, the yield rate is extremely low and the surface is easily damaged, requiring extensive maintenance after each use.

The wasteland development company suggested: "To ensure a stable kill, it is best to deploy 207 beams or more of string beams to ensure that a single string beam surface cannot defend against it and can completely destroy the target."

The Earth Ghost, however, only felt an even greater heaviness.

Although he had been continuously collecting string light to prepare for breaking through to the Assassination Celestial Realm, he had only managed to accumulate 611 strands of string light over the years.

In other words, all of these munitions can only guarantee the elimination of three Celestials.

They can manage to protect themselves, but continuing to launch attacks abroad is already extremely difficult.

Still not working...

The celestial beings are like a mountain that grows higher the closer you get to it.

The Celestials did not retaliate after they occupied Europa. They were indifferent to the death of their own kind and were more concerned with blocking the sun.

Later, the Earth Demon learned that the Celestial Being did not truly die after being shattered, but merely detached from the Modifier's body and returned to the form of Stardust to enter the universe.

From the moment the first bone fish appeared in Earth's orbit, the Earth Ghost began to pay attention to Earth again.

This led it to make a change.

Train bone fish warriors.

However, these Sky Bone Fish were all employees of the Wasteland Development Company.

The Earth Demon initially thought that once the Bone Fish witnessed its power, they would naturally leave that place and follow it on the path of evolution.

The two bone fish that came over refused it.

This made the Earth Demon very unhappy, and he secretly thought that the company must have controlled the Bone Fish in some way—especially in the realm of consciousness.

However, after repeated inspections, it found no signs that Big Mouth and Quickfoot had consciously restricted or tampered with anything.

As it gradually learned more, it discovered that the wasteland development company was indeed good to the bonefish. The weak bonefish race, who were once bullied by everyone on the surface, now had their own positions in the company and were treated equally with other employees. The company even helped the bonefish repair their fragile bodies.

Until recently.

The company's public declaration of war against the Celestials greatly increased the Earth Ghosts' goodwill towards it.

Knowing the strength and power of the celestial beings, they still dared to resist the strong despite being weak.

Kind of.

This was also the first time that the Earth Ghost took the initiative to speak with Zhou Yi, the chairman of the company, to express his appreciation and formally recognize the company as an ally to jointly resist the rule of the Celestials.

Zhou Yi revealed two things during his conversation with it.

"Proxima Centauri in the neighboring galaxy is our external aid. It can remotely refract the Sun through a stellar channel, and the celestial beings in the solar system can control and block the energy, preventing them from collecting the energy released by the Sun here."

"The Celestials are essentially one-dimensional energy bodies. They were assembled by the String Civilization and transformed into the Silicon Crystal Gem body of the Modifier. String Light is a one-dimensional energy body that carries the instructions of the String Civilization, so String Light can be lethal to them."

The Earth Demon then realized that the company's research on the Celestials was far more in-depth than he had anticipated.

In other words.

This ally is actually very powerful and will be of great help in the battle against the Celestials.

With the company's assistance, I will be able to quickly build and train a Bonefish Ironblood Army, and by collecting string light from a large number of Bonefish, I will be able to launch a large-scale attack on the Celestials.

In the past, I fought alone, but now things are completely different.

As long as the team continues to expand and these bonefish warriors continue to grow, their strength will only increase.

With the addition of newly recruited architectural life forms, they are even more superior replacements for the bone fish, possessing light core-level strength, a huge and extensible body, and an innate huge number of consciousness entities, making them naturally compatible with time-based creatures!

The number of celestial beings will only decrease.

The advantage and time are already on our side; pure technology can no longer make up for the cyclical difference between the rise and fall of a group!

A hundred years from now, it will be time to launch a full-scale attack on the Celestials!
With the company's strong support, great success is within reach.

Just as the Earth Ghost was pondering this, it suddenly heard a discordant voice.

"Mr. Earth Ghost, I need to ask for leave and go back to rest for a few days. The movie 'The Amazing Journey of Bone Fish Pie' was recently released, and I want to go back and watch it!"

Only someone with a big, unbridled mouth could say something so outrageous.

The Earth Demon roared, "You're a warrior! How dare you ask for leave! The Celestials are still watching from the sun! How can you keep playing around like this! War isn't a routine job. If you don't fight now, you'll die in battle later! You want to die, don't you!"

"But, Mr. Earth Demon... the war is over."

Big Mouth argued, "The Celestials were defeated, our army won, there's no need to be in such a hurry..."

"What did you say!"

"The Celestials have been defeated."

The earth ghost cursed, "What nonsense are you spouting! Are you out of your mind or just daydreaming!"

"It's true, it's true... The chairman from the company said it. Just now, the Celestials were defeated. Although they refused to surrender, they were all arrested by the company..."

Big Mouth muttered, "If you don't believe me, see for yourself."

"..."

The first thing the Earth Ghost thought of was...

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

However... it still looked out into the universe with a spirit of inquiry.

Around the sun.

The solar wall is still in motion, and the celestial beings are still floating in that circle.

But at this moment, they were all strung up like skewers by the string light, completely unable to move.

It can be clearly observed from the energy layer that they have all been forcibly suppressed to the state of individual transmutators, and have obviously been subdued and locked.

The Earth Demon was dumbfounded and quickly contacted Zhou Yi through the Bone Fish.

"Is the war really over? What have you done?!"

The voice on the other end said, "Hmm. Faster than expected, we took care of them using Jupiter. Huh? Didn't I tell you? Sorry, I've been too busy right now. Ah, they've arrived here on my behalf, I'll get back to you later..."

Then the call was cut off.

A huge question mark slowly appeared on the head of the giant fish.

It looked up at the universe once again.

The celestial beings remained silent, only slowly turning.

The Earth Ghost felt as if his grand words and passionate enthusiasm had become a joke.

It roared angrily at space, spewing out a dazzling beam of light that annihilated and pulverized meteorites along its path.

Damn it, why!
