The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

Upon hearing this, Wang Cang subconsciously raised an eyebrow, clearly somewhat surprised by Zhang Daoxuan's words.

For a moment, he looked at Zhang Daoxuan, his tone tinged with doubt, and asked, "Really? But I remember you guys said before that you could just stuff some stones into that thing and it would spin around by itself, right?"

"Why is it different now than before?"

After all, he had glanced at the report from the research department at the time, and what impressed him most was Chen Yuanshan's animated description in the report.

What "perfect energy amplifier", what "inexhaustible sun", what "just need a few logistics shovels and a few shovelfuls of cheap crystals to use"?

Between the lines, there is an overwhelming sense of ecstasy, as if the writer has struck gold and can now live a carefree life.

How come the story has completely changed in just a few days?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Daoxuan's face showed a bitter expression. He walked to the rest area next to the command center, personally brewed a cup of hot tea for Wang Cang, and then slowly spoke.

"Professor Wang, you're right. Initially, Academician Chen's research was indeed like that!"

"Various research data do indeed show a trend of improvement."

"But the problem is... Academician Chen and his team's initial tests were conducted in a small and completely enclosed energy circulation chamber."

"Under those circumstances, the characteristics exhibited by Lieyang Canxin were truly miraculous."

"Extremely low energy consumption, extremely high conversion rate, stable energy output... all the data is perfect and impeccable, but the problem is... when they expanded the test environment and tried to simulate the entire Sherlock Holmes, or even the entire dimensional map, problems arose."

Zhang Daoxuan paused, picked up his teacup, and looked at the tea leaves floating inside, as if he was organizing his thoughts.

"That thing...it seems to be alive."

"Alive?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Cang's eyebrows furrowed, not quite understanding what the sentence meant.

"Yes, alive."

Zhang Daoxuan nodded and continued to explain: "Academician Chen's original words were that they had misunderstood a basic concept before. It didn't look like a prop; it looked more like a real heart."

"A heart belonging to a creation-level being, possessing its own will."

"When the energy input is small, it is like being in a dormant state, just instinctively converting and outputting energy, so it looks docile and efficient."

"But once the energy input exceeds a certain threshold, its activity will be awakened."

"That enormous energy, if not guided and regulated by a stronger will, will become violent and chaotic, like a mad bull charging around recklessly."

At this point, Zhang Daoxuan walked to the holographic star map and pulled up an experimental video.

The scene depicts a vast underground space, with the blazing sun's remnant suspended in the center.

Below are densely packed energy transmission pipes.

As the experiment began, a soft golden light emanated from the heart, forming a stable energy shield.

But as the energy input continued to increase, the golden light began to fluctuate violently, and its color gradually changed from a warm gold to a dark red with an aura of destruction.

On the surface of the energy shield, streams of violent energy lashed out like whips, melting deep pits into the surrounding specially made alloy walls.

"Buzz—!"

The video ends with a piercing alarm.

The entire underground space was instantly filled with violent energy, and the scene turned into a snowflake.

"This was a simulation experiment three days ago."

Zhang Daoxuan's voice rang out again: "In order to simulate the energy level covering the entire territory of Shenxia, ​​the technology department has used a small portion of the reserves from three national-level strategic energy reserves."

"As a result... the energy had just reached 70% of the preset peak value when it completely went out of control. From then on, Academician Chen truly realized why the item's description contained this sentence: 'The coverage area expands with the amount of mental energy invested by the user.'"

"In other words, the Blazing Sun's Remnant Heart is not a machine; it is a double-edged sword. To wield it, one must have a sufficiently powerful swordsman."

"A core with a strong enough will to suppress the wildness of that heart and guide that powerful energy to flow according to our will."

At this point, Zhang Daoxuan and Li Weiguo both turned their gazes to Wang Cang.

The meaning is self-evident.

With Gu Xu on a distant expedition, and his return uncertain, the entire Blue Star, the entire Divine Summer, has someone qualified and capable of serving as the "Sword Bearer."

Only Old Master Chen Zhenyuan and a few senior Night Watchers who had just entered the Origin level were present.

And among these newly promoted Source-level...

Only Master Wang Cang is the most powerful one.

Upon hearing this, Wang Cang fell silent.

As he watched the devastating scene in the video, a hint of solemnity flashed deep in his eyes.

He spent his entire life dealing with power.

Naturally, they also knew very well that power is something that can never be easily controlled.

The greater the power, the greater the risk of backlash. The power of a Source-level expert is enough to shatter mountains and tear apart the earth.

Now, what lies before him is a power far exceeding the Origin level, belonging to the realm of "creation".

That's beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

"So...you mean you want me to be the fuse for this bomb?"

After a long while, Wang Cang finally came to his senses and asked in a calm tone.

"Mr. Wang, we..."

Zhang Daoxuan was about to explain when Wang Cang waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Alright, I'm not senile yet."

Wang Cang picked up his teacup and drank the tea in one gulp: "I understand the principle. It's just about using my old bones to suppress that thing."

"But have you considered another question?"

"Even if I could subdue it, what would you feed it if it covered the entire planet? Would tearing down our entire blue planet for firewood be enough?"

This question is more pointed and more realistic than the one before.

Zhang Daoxuan's expression, which had just relaxed a little, became serious again. He walked back to the holographic probe and stretched his view from the map of Shenxia to the entire Blue Star.

"Mr. Wang, you're right, that's exactly what's giving us the biggest headache."

"After global digitization, the actual area of ​​our planet has expanded by more than a thousand times compared to the past."

"The energy required to completely cover this vast land with a barrier is an astronomical figure that we cannot even calculate precisely."

"We previously thought that as long as we had enough psionic crystals, we could activate it, but now it seems we were being rather naive!"
