Zhou Yi and Xiao Fu shared this experience with the Heavenly People.
"The structure of the Three-Colored Gem, the basic unit of flow, a spherical suspension... I've never seen such a race."
The Reverse Flow said, "But from the living space, they must be a highly independent Advanced Life."
"Generally speaking, as some life forms develop to a certain extent, they either become more aggregated or more dispersed."
"The first direction is the increasing homogeneity of individuals, a higher degree of integration and unification, with the group continuously integrating and deeply uniting, eventually forming a civilization system with high-speed information flow. Their expansion relies on the growth in the number of individuals, shifting from quantitative changes to qualitative ones."
"The second direction is the high degree of freedom and dispersal of individuals. Members of the same life form maintain distance from one another, and can even exist completely without interaction."
"Each direction has its pros and cons. In reality, it's not necessarily one or the other, but rather which tendency is more dominant. Like us Reverse Flow, we are closer to the dispersed end, while the humans of this world tend towards aggregation."
"The Heavenly People should be similar to the Reverse Flow."
"Otherwise, within the same space, given their capacity for consciousness information processing, they could interact with their kind at any time. It's more like they are accustomed to maintaining distance from each other, living independently."
"But upon entering this world, their kin are relatively more reliable, so they interact and cooperate to some extent."
This was consistent with Zhou Yi's perception.
The Heavenly People in the form of the Gemstone World seemed to have no interaction, at least their true selves existed in separate private spaces. Read full story at novèlfire.net
Only upon entering the Wasteland World would they converse and collaborate as a group, like when they attacked Xiao Fu.
"Eh? Since the bodies of the Heavenly People can be used..."
Xiao Fu made a suggestion, "Should we try to bring its body over here?"
Zhou Yi was astonished, "You have a way?"
"The Reverse Flow's Circular Flow Technology System is designed for collecting Sparks, including the accumulation of consciousness information as well as quality unclaimed bodies."
The Reverse Flow exclaimed excitedly, "The Heavenly People look like premium Advanced Life bodies."
"How can this be done?"
Zhou Yi expressed his doubt, "The Heavenly People's physical forms are accessible and can use the Circumference Light Device, but the place they reside doesn't seem world. I can only enter the body of a Heavenly Person via the gemstone channel."
"Just create a Fire Transmitter and it can be done."
Xiao Fu said, "Simply put, the function of this Circular Flow Device is to transform our own core memory. Once inside the target body, ignite the Fire Transmitter to fully connect with it. After the transmission is complete, you can use that body whenever you want by transferring your consciousness."
"The Fire Transmitter is costly to make, though, and it's a one-time use item that gets completely exhausted once the transfer is done."
"I used this method to start up the Sea God before."
Zhou Yi couldn't believe such a thing existed.
He immediately asked, "How many Light Seeds does it consume?"
"To make one Fire Transmitter, you'd need 30,000 Light Seeds."
If it really could be done, it would be worth it.
"How long will it take to make?"
Xiao Fu replied, "It's quite fast, very efficient to build with a Conscious Key."
"Then let's make one now."
Zhou Yi immersed himself in his own core memory.
On the Outer Track, the shadow-like Reverse Flow said, "Now, follow my steps."
"First, let's dismantle one white and two black Conscious Keys. I need your consent to remove them. This may cause you slight dizziness, but it's normal."
Xiao Fu pulled up two bar-like black Conscious Keys from below his feet, constructing a three-dimensional coordinate system and connecting it to the Outer Track.
"Da Zhou, you make one on your side as well, but opposite to mine. Use one black and two white Conscious Keys, connect them to the edge of the Inner Track, and link them with the same Conscious Key from my side."
Zhou Yi did as instructed, completing the process.
Between the two coordinate systems, all the connecting Conscious Keys switched from horizontal to vertical, moving up and down within the coordinate system, creating a three-dimensional graph with constantly changing peaks and troughs.
"This is the Fire Axis, constructed with Conscious Keys to output consciousness information, the basis of the Fire Transmitter. Peaks represent a high volume of your conscious information, meaning you're thinking and calculating; troughs indicate you're in the observation phase, not yet processing and converting acquired external information."
"What we need now is to mass-produce this, using 223 Fire Axes to assemble a Fire Transmitter."
Under Xiao Fu's guidance, Zhou Yi also got busy.
The workload was immense, and towards the end, even shifting a Conscious Key became strenuous, with the Reverse Flow across him also having to rest frequently, his voice showing exhaustion.
"We're almost there, almost there. For the sake of a premium Advanced Life body, let's push a little harder."
Xiao Fu held a strong conviction in collecting materials.
The two toiled away in silence, using any bit of time to briefly rest and avoid excessive mental strain.
After who knows how long, a total of 223 Fire Axes were finally created.
"Huff, puff, now just one last step."
Xiao Fu took a moment and said, "Pour in 30,000 Light Seeds here, and it will activate."
"It doesn't consume anything in normal times; only during the transfer does it consume that energy. They will cycle through here with almost no loss."
Zhou Yi withdrew to the outer world, his hand on the Guangna Box.
A large number of Light Seeds were converted into energy.
The black and white consciousness began to oscillate faster, resembling a series of pillars that formed immense waves. Each time they rose, they glowed; when they fell, they went dark.
