Wasteland Development Diary

The building before Zhou Yi resembled a giant cross, its surface covered with dark red mantle bacteria, akin to solidified thick moss.

Among the company's alien employees, Saint George Church was the one most easily overlooked.

Other Building Life forms each had important missions.

Jade City was dedicated to solving the housing issue of this era, continuously expanding and producing various types of public housing.

Maria Hospital treated many patients every day, the elevated bridge served as the main artery for regional traffic, and Yalong Bay carried numerous factories and Pan Tree industries.

Only Saint George Church was relatively idle, designated within the company as a tourist attraction, and used to motivate the residents with the Savior's creed.

So Zhou Yi assigned it as the first Building Life to participate in special training.

He further confirmed, "Are you already a Transformer?"

"No, Chairman, I'm still a Light Core Body. It's just that now I'm connected with time creatures, and they can shield external observations,"

Saint George said.

The ancient church suddenly began to blur, seeming to transform into a mirage.

But upon careful observation, Zhou Yi saw only a gray-white vague outline, Saint George swirling and entangling like ink in water, unable to stabilize.

It turned into a large four-dimensional fish.

Somewhat surprised, Zhou Yi remarked, "How did that happen so quickly? Bone Fish and the others haven't been able to utilize the time creatures yet."

"Their scale isn't enough."

Saint George gathered its four-dimensional state, reverting to the form of a red structured building, "According to Mr. Earth Ghost's standards, it first requires the Cosmic Heart to remodel, which means growing from the inside to the outside through the mantle bacteria, emerging as a network of supporting veins centered around the heart. It must reach the strength of a Light Core Body to support the long-term attachment of time creatures, otherwise, the body would collapse."

"Bone Fish are still absorbing energy through mantle bacteria; their bodies also need further expansion. The higher the Light Core Body level, the more it can support time creatures, and the greater the life strength, the shorter the waiting period between each borrowing of time creatures' power... Even the highest-strength company Bone Fish, Big Mouth, can only use it once every 30 days."

"Thanks to your special approval, I was allowed to consume as much Solid Cloud Elixir as I wished. So, I consumed 18 pieces of level 5 Cloud Elixir in one go until I could no longer take it."

At this point, Saint George's tone carried a hint of pride, "With your and the company's support, I previously reached level 3 in one leap, surpassing others."

"This is also due to the special structure of Building Life, which naturally possesses a large body framework. Mr. Earth Ghost said the greatest advantage of Building Life is actually the Consciousness Domain; each one possesses at least tens of thousands of mature Consciousnesses, the most precious legacy left by the old human civilization."

"Our consciousness expansion is easier than most life forms. As long as there is a willingness from Consciousnesses to join, synchronization and fusion can be completed, while maintaining the integrity of the individual."

"The external environment can assist in accelerating expansion, but the malleability and growth rate of the Consciousness Domain are innate."

"There are specific patterns to the adherence of time creatures. They always match one-to-one with Consciousnesses, and each Consciousness is bound only to one time creature. Everyone has their own time perception and time rhythm, which is an embodiment of this relationship."

"Hence, Mr. Earth Ghost said Building Life has a unique innate advantage, as each one theoretically can host over a hundred thousand time creatures with tens of thousands of Consciousnesses, though more quantity places a greater load on the body…"

"The more time creatures, the longer we can call upon the power of the Time Dimension—or use the length of time. When invoking this ability, it cannot be observed or fixed in this three-dimensional space."

Zhou Yi was enlightened.

No wonder Earth Ghost said Building Life are assassins of Heavenly People, endowed with exceptional talent.

So that's the truth.

He then considered, "You mentioned time creatures are bound one-to-one with Consciousnesses. Then, what about Giant Bone Fish?"

"Mr. Earth Ghost, like us, possesses a large number of Consciousnesses."

Zhou Yi's gaze sharpened, "Is it a collective of Underground Bone Fish?"

"Yes,"

Saint George responded, "Mr. Earth Ghost completed the connection with time creatures by accident and discovered their reaction to music."

"The other Bone Fish don't want to leave the underground, but their consciousness wears out and perishes. Therefore, Mr. Earth Ghost can only find them in their dying moments; only then are they willing to follow him to seek a way out, their bodies also connecting and merging."

"Relying on continuously collecting the dying underground, Mr. Earth Ghost can invoke more and more time creatures."

"The most difficult part about Consciousnesses is that forceful capture and merging turn into obstacles and risks within the Consciousness Domain. Voluntary connection to Memory Core is required for stability."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi felt a bit peculiar.

So, that's how Giant Bone Fish completed its original accumulation.

Even it has significant shortcomings.

In comparison, Reverse Flow Xiao Fu seems more like an advanced civilization, equipped with Circular Flow Technology for collecting Sparks and building a Fire Seed Civilization.

One could say that the survival environment of Bone Fish limits its vision and thinking, leading it to develop through relatively primitive methods, resulting in long cycles and slow growth.

If Xiao Fu were to assist, Giant Bone Fish might have already soared to great heights.

Receiving praise from Zhou Yi, Xiao Fu said modestly, "Da Zhou, not to brag, but if I were to help it, the current situation would be entirely different. At least gathering a group of Bone Fish to establish a nation on Jupiter's moon Europa would be feasible."
