Wasteland Development Diary

Zhou Yi led Wu Yi before the Great Buddha and introduced him to the energy being surrounded by two guards.

They still couldn't directly communicate.

Mainly because the energy being was in an energy state and lacked the physiological mechanism for vocalization.

Zhou Yi had to act as an interpreter.

“I didn't expect the energy being to be so powerful after reaching A-grade. When I encounter it, I can basically only parry, and it's difficult to retaliate.”

The Bone Man said with some emotion, “Even among A-grades, there is a very obvious innate gap. The Bone Man race is inherently weak, and the gap will only widen as we progress.”

“If it were a life-or-death battle in a closed environment, I would definitely lose.”

Jiong He Cang had a different opinion.

It said, “We energy beings can only directly interact with energy. Touching matter will only damage its structure. This makes it difficult for us to use tools.”

“I am very envious of physiological structures that can utilize external objects. Maintaining diversity ensures the ability to cope with various situations.”

“Wu Yi is a very strong opponent, possessing great extensibility and defensive capabilities. Its sand structure makes it impossible for me to directly break through.”

Zhou Yi was not surprised by this.

People always focus on the abilities of others while ignoring what they already possess.

Zhou Yi also took this opportunity to extend an olive branch to Wu Yi.

“Would you consider joining Wasteland Development Company? If you want to venture into the outer sea in the future, having the company's support and Jiong He Cang's assistance will greatly help you.”

The Bone Man hesitated.

“It's not that I'm unwilling, but my situation is special… Let me tell you something first, and if you can accept it after hearing it, we can talk more.”

It said, “Many years ago, I lived on a floating island in the high-pressure zone of the Dead Sea. There were many Bone Men on that island, surrounded by smoke and mist, making it very secluded.”

“Although we weren't rich and were sometimes attacked, basking in the Dead Sea light every day was a simple and happy time.”

“But one day, I woke up and found myself lying in the mud at the bottom of the Dead Sea, unable to find the island where I lived.”

“No matter how hard I tried to remember, I couldn't recall what had happened before. I had a rope tied around me, strung with many Bone Men skulls, all of which were damaged to varying degrees.”

“Each skull was complete, but there was nothing left inside. Under normal circumstances, even for dead Bone Men, their kind could obtain some memory information from their skulls. But there was nothing in those skulls.”

“Those skulls belonged to the Bone Men on the floating island. I could name each one, including my former best friends, people I liked, and elders I respected. But I had absolutely no idea what had happened.”

“Every time I tried to recall, I felt like I was being stared at by something, and I felt fear. My survival instinct told me not to investigate, or it would kill me.”

The Bone Man's voice became lower and lower.

After a long while.

It spoke again, “From then on, I began to look for ways to become stronger. Only by becoming stronger would I have the confidence and ability to find out the truth.”

“Later, I went to United City and found that the prison could hone and improve my strength. So, I constantly attacked others to get imprisoned, fought with my energy-state mirror image, and slowly figured out the split-seed and even the break-seed… It took me a long time to find the right path.”

“My element is 'sand.' There is a lot of this material, and although the upper limit is not high, it has helped me many times. Without sand, I would have died many times over.”

The Bone Man sat on the Great Buddha's wide toe and slowly said, “I kept fighting with myself, and after many years, I finally entered a stage that I never dared to imagine in the past.”

“It was also when I discovered the fear other B-grade life forms had of me that I determined that I had entered the A-grade stage, which most people call a Sky Walker.”

Zhou Yi felt something was wrong.

“Wait a minute, are you saying that you have been leveling up in Meizhou Prison all along? And you went from an ordinary Bone Man E-grade all the way to an A-grade Sky Walker stage?”

“Yes,” Wu Yi nodded.

Zhou Yi summoned Xiaofu and confirmed it again.

The Time Reverser insisted with certainty, “The Bone Man is an ordinary life form. To enter the Embryo stage from the Seed stage, you must have a Cradling Mound; otherwise, it is impossible to complete the most critical transformation!”

But Wu Yi had never even heard of Cradling Mound.

“What is that thing?”

“Ah? Do you need a Cradling Mound to become an A-grade life form?”

“That's not right, I haven't encountered the kind of thing you said…”

The Bone Man scratched his head in confusion.

It didn't need to lie about this.

Zhou Yi suddenly remembered, “You said that your original floating island had a lot of smoke and mist?”

“Yes, it was foggy all year round, as if the entire island was evaporating mist, which was very strange.”

“Are there any other special places?”

The Bone Man touched his brow bone with his finger and thought for a while, “That's right. Our island could make people have the same dream.”

“Everyone could meet each other in their dreams, and the floating island in the dream could talk, but most of the words were incomprehensible. There would also be some strange things appearing, like flying stone slabs, constantly rising pillars, and talking clouds.”

“We would chase those things in our dreams, and if we could find them and pass their tests, we could get some black and white wooden blocks. Those wooden blocks could be eaten, and they would feel very comfortable when eaten.”

Zhou Yi immediately asked Xiaofu, “Could it be that the island is the Cradling Mound?”

“It is the Cradling Mound! So their initial awakening place was the Cradling Mound… No wonder, they are really lucky in this world.”

The Time Reverser said, “The key is the black and white consciousness keys. No matter what life form, the number of consciousness keys in the memory core is fixed and cannot be increased.”

“To break through the Seed stage, you need more consciousness keys to support you, and the Cradling Mound has them.”

“This is the fundamental difference between the Embryo stage and the Seed stage. The Embryo stage requires a large number of consciousness keys to expand the memory core to support the enhancement of the consciousness field, so as to be able to break through the existing upper limit.”

The situation was basically clear.

Many treasure lands that the Sea Lords seek but cannot find, Wu Yi and his kind were born with, born in Rome.

Their consciousness key expansion was completed early, and all that remained was to improve their body strength step by step.

The Bone Man showed a somewhat surprised look, then touched his jaw bone with his finger bone, “If that's the case, no wonder that kind of thing happened.”

“Zhou Yi, let me finish telling you about this.”

“Not long ago, you had Hunter Sea send me a Rolex, and I summoned Clock Head. It was very satisfied with these genuine products and helped me open up the sealed and disturbed memories…”

Wu Yi continued to recount.

“I returned to the day that was forcibly forgotten. That day didn't start out any differently. I went to the bottom of the floating island to do repairs. There were a lot of feces spat out by bubble fish there. However, because the degree of solidification was not enough, it was easily damaged by airflow and impact, so it was best to fix and compact it regularly.”

“That day, I was repairing a hole below when the entire floating island suddenly shook and vibrated violently, almost shaking me off. Fortunately, I had a rope to protect me. When I climbed back onto the island, I saw a huge ice block falling on the island.”

“Are you sure it was an ice block?” Zhou Yi asked in confusion.

“Yes, the ice block was huge and didn't melt into water; it just kept evaporating. I remember it was winter at the time, and it was very cold.”

The Bone Man gestured with his fingers, “There was a human in the huge ice block, a long-haired woman. But that person was very strange; she had a head of flesh and blood, but her body was made of strands like glass, like her blood vessels. Her body was transparent, like ice or crystal.”

“All the Bone Men on the island surrounded her.”

Glass person.

Zhou Yi's pupils shrank suddenly.

In the Celestial World, he had also seen such humanoid life forms appear.

Wu Yi was a little surprised, “You know the person in the ice block?”

“I've heard of her; she's related to the Celestials.”

The Bone Man nodded and said, “The woman in the ice block kept her eyes closed, and her transparent blood vessels quickly gained color. At first, they were blue, then some turned black, and a few were red.”

“She suddenly opened her eyes.”

“At that time, a force struck all of us, making us seem like we were frozen, unable to move. I, who had just climbed up from the shore, fell back into the Dead Sea.”

Wu Yi said in a deep voice, “Later, after I could move, I climbed back onto the floating island. None of the people on the island had recovered; their bodies were scattered, blown east and west by the wind, and some bones were broken. So I collected their skulls to avoid further damage.”

“When I was collecting the skulls, I saw the place where she had fallen. The woman was still there, her eyes closed again, but her body had grown a lot of crystals, wrapping her up.”

The Bone Man's voice was somewhat confused, “At that time, the mist on the floating island was spraying upwards, like a volcano erupting towards the sky…”

“Then the island quickly collapsed and was destroyed, and the woman sank into the Dead Sea.”

“I confirmed the place where she sank at the bottom of the sea, buried her in a conduit of an ancient relic, and then left with everyone's skulls. At the time, I thought that maybe I could restore everyone in the future.”

“But after leaving her, I couldn't remember that part of the memory at all, as if it had been erased by an invisible force. What I was most worried about was that I had killed everyone myself. Now I finally know that she was the source of the problem.”

Wu Yi paused for a moment, then said, “Clock Head told me that someone had disturbed my consciousness time, causing me to be unable to calibrate from my memory that day. Because I couldn't calibrate, I couldn't find the corresponding position of that day in my consciousness, so I couldn't obtain relevant information. It helped me return to normal. That day was changed by the woman who fell from the sky.”

“Now I have to find a way to find out whether everyone's consciousness was taken away by her or completely destroyed. But one thing is certain: she is extremely dangerous. Even the current me is far from reaching her level back then.”

“If I didn't have the power of Clock Head, I might repeat the past problem if I encountered her. Unfortunately, Clock Head is unwilling to go with me. So I have to hone myself well. Even if there is only a little hope, I want to be able to revive everyone.”

“In any case, this is my future goal.”

The Bone Man concluded, “This is my situation. If I join the company, it will bring you huge trouble and danger.”

“It's okay.”

Zhou Yi said readily, “The company will take over this matter for you.”

The other party was stunned, “You… aren't you afraid?”

“That person is related to the Celestials, and I'm also very interested,” Zhou Yi said seriously, “Joining the company is beneficial to both of us. Trust me, I'll help you.”

“……”

The Bone Man finally shook hands with Zhou Yi.

“Okay, I'll join!”
