Wasteland Development Diary

For safety, Zhou Yi used white gemstones to construct a space, securing the ruby inside.

Then, he began the reading.

The perspective continuously zoomed in, entering the inner space of the faded ruby.

Inside, there were two dim red dots of light.

Zhou Yi first immersed himself in the first dot of light.

He found himself transformed into a meteor, plummeting towards the ground.

From an overhead view, he could see a vast sea of mist below, with flashes of light within.

It was the Dead Sea.

But this Dead Sea was different from what Zhou Yi remembered; large swathes of land emerging from the Dead Sea were barren, with no trace of cities, only a few small animals.

His vision was exceptionally clear, able to see insects crawling on the land and the movement of grass blades caused by the airflow; his 360-degree observation angle came from his current unique structure.

Zhou Yi's entire body was composed of gemstones, falling at high speed in a gemstone form.

Impact with the Dead Sea was immediately buffered.

His body gradually became relaxed, stable, and malleable.

The seabed was as it always was; everything left over from the old human era was there: tall commercial buildings and elevator towers, straight and wide concrete roads, residential areas divided into small squares.

Without humans, it appeared particularly empty and tidy.

Only bone fish and light-absorbing monsters existed on the seabed; there were no other light-absorbing species within sight.

It seemed to be the early days of the wasteland era.

Zhou Yi had determined that what was left in the ruby was the memory of a Celestial.

They had once split off a part of their bodies to descend to Earth.

Now, he was retracing the past of this deceased Celestial.

Strangely, Zhou Yi found that he was not locked into a fixed perspective and action but could completely control himself.

The Celestial... open-style memory?

Was that even possible?

Zhou Yi felt a bit magical.

He began to reconstruct his body, using gemstones to form a humanoid shape, and then walked out of the Dead Sea.

The gemstone body had a very high affinity with the dead light, able to rapidly absorb energy from it; the sapphires consumed during the impact and fall were quickly replenished, and his body surface soon returned to a blue brimming with energy.

However, Zhou Yi felt uneasy.

The gemstones on his body surface were becoming turbid, covered with a thick layer of white scale, which quickly spread and covered his entire body.

This kind of mutation made him feel like a liquid metal robot entering a freezer, his whole body becoming stiff and difficult to move.

Damaged gemstones continued to fall off.

Soon, the entire gemstone body began to collapse, turning into fine sand and scattering.

Zhou Yi's perspective became lower and lower, less and less, until it returned to darkness.

...

He woke up from the first red light.

Zhou Yi was thoughtful.

The Celestial's main body could not adapt to this environment; the gemstone structure would rapidly dull and turn to sand.

Therefore, they needed to find a physical projection.

Zhou Yi tried a few more times.

Each time he entered the red light, he could choose to land in different places, but he could not enter the land.

No matter how this process proceeded, it always ended with the gemstone mutating after falling, the body rapidly turning into sand, and then ending.

He shared this information with Xiao Fu, asking for the reason.

The Streamtracer said, "Under normal circumstances, the memories of ordinary lower-level life only have a fixed trajectory, but the memories of some higher-level life are multi-line divergent."

"For example, in two hours, an ordinary human walks from Emerald City to Mushroom Forest; no matter how he chooses, he can only walk one road. Higher life can walk many roads at the same time, thereby obtaining a large amount of information."

Zhou Yi was shocked: "How is this done?"

"Through the Great Holy Spirit."

The Streamtracer explained, "We usually observe and contact the world from the material composition side, which can be called the surface world. The surface world is a place where all kinds of life can appear, with almost no restrictions."

"The side composed of conscious information is called the inner world. Conceptual life forms like Microphone Overlord live in the inner world."

"The two worlds are inside and out, with intersections and connections with each other."

"The Celestial visits the Great Holy Spirit in the inner world, and can obtain billions of results from a certain area of the surface world."

Xiao Fu patiently explained a lot.

Zhou Yi made a simple summary. The world is a giant computer, the surface world is the hardware, and the inner world is the software.

The Celestial is a visitor from the outside world. Through the system software, the Great Holy Spirit, it gets the visit result it wants. This calculation process is diverse, but the result is consistent.

What is manifested is the open-style memory in the ruby, but the ending is sandification and destruction.

That's the way it is.

Zhou Yi immersed himself in the second red dot of light.

He turned into a gemstone body floating in the darkness.

The volume was very small, not even one-tenth of the Celestial's 'cup'.

Zhou Yi's brightness was very high at this time, almost all sapphires, and there was a layer of flowing liquid on the surface.

The Celestial's gemstone body also has a liquid system similar to body fluids.

This transparent liquid can be converted between liquid, solid, and gaseous states.

It can better keep every gemstone flowing throughout the body, reduce friction and damage, and also freeze and repair damaged parts.

This layer of liquid wraps the gemstone body, providing a layer of isolation covering the surface, avoiding the natural loss of energy. It can be said to be a very important life system.

Dead gemstone bodies do not have this layer of liquid.

Zhou Yi speculated that it should be accompanied by aging and entering destruction, and the body fluid will also be lost and evaporated.

However, in this memory, it just maintains a stationary state.

Just when Zhou Yi felt that there was nothing to see and was about to end and return, he suddenly saw a strange thing floating towards here from the blue light band.

It was a transparent glass tube.

It was very long, one end connected to the blue light, and the other end was still extending towards here.

The latest novel is first published on Liu 9 Book Bar!

Zhou Yi subconsciously captured it.

A number of pure sapphires immediately rolled out of the glass tube.

They quickly merged into Zhou Yi's gemstone body.

Huh?

This is like the Celestial's childhood.

The replenishment of gemstones is completed through the outside world, and the source is in the blue light.

Zhou Yi carefully observed this glass tube.

The pipeline is divided into two layers, the inner layer is used to transport gemstones, and the outer layer has that transparent liquid.

The gemstone body's body fluid and gemstones are all from external supplies.

I don't know if this supply comes from other adult Celestials, or something else.

While Zhou Yi was thinking, he noticed that there was something outside the double-layer pipeline.

It was a kind of peculiar translucent gemstone.

It was attached to the outer wall of the pipeline, moving back and forth slowly, and the number was not small, so Zhou Yi initially thought it was part of the pipeline structure.

There was something moving in that gemstone.

The Celestial's vision and visual perception are very strong.

Zhou Yi focused on staring and saw a life form that shouldn't be here in the gemstone.

A human male.

He was immersed in the liquid, controlling the gemstone to operate externally and slide along the track.

Zhou Yi only felt incredible.

How could there be people here?

The person in the gemstone was transparent, with many gemstone fibers in his body.

His features and limbs were indeed human, and he looked about twenty years old.

In each externally sliding gemstone, there was a human, male and female, all very young.

They use gemstones as vehicles or tools and are responsible for supplying gemstones and body fluids to the Celestial's gemstone body.

Zhou Yi tried to touch them with black gemstones.

But as long as he approached them, the memory would stop.

The two seemed to be untouchable.

The Streamtracer, who witnessed the whole process, reminded, "The Celestial group is not simple. Be careful to use this body, don't get too close to their active blue light area."

Zhou Yi deeply agreed.

The outer graveyard is still safer.

After all, what floats here are the Celestial corpses that do not speak.

Let's collect their information bit by bit first.

This time, he obtained two key pieces of information.

First, the Celestial's main body will collapse and turn to sand when it enters the Earth, so they cannot descend here.

Second, the Celestials are composed of four-color gemstones, and behind them, there is a suspected humanoid civilization group that is supplying or serving them.

Zhou Yi thought of this.

How did the Celestial's gemstone body structure enter death?

He can now clearly perceive this body.

The natural loss of the gemstone body is very slow, and it takes a long time for the entire body to completely peel off into gemstones and disappear.

Theoretically, as long as it can supply energy and that body fluid, it can live forever.

But the surrounding circle is full of Celestial corpses, and no one comes to recycle and dispose of them.

There are still many sapphires in the corpse.

These are all important resources.

The Celestial group seems to have its own difficulties.

Various questions flashed through Zhou Yi's mind.

However, the most important thing at the moment is to collect more corpses in order to capture the remaining usable sapphires and rubies.

He rested briefly and then devoted himself to the hard work of picking up corpses.
