"I haven't done it..."
Normal life was simply impossible.
To achieve subdivision in the realm of consciousness, only some concept lives with exceptional gifts could attain it.
Zhi couldn't help but raise a question, "Why do you let them run around everywhere instead of connecting them all together?"
"Connecting them together?"
As the Red Monster wildly punched, a puzzled expression crossed its face, making it look fragmented.
Zhi, while dodging, explained, "I am a Condenser. My ability is Melt Connection, which is to directly connect the Light Absorption Monsters and use their energy."
"Since you control so many destructive consciousness traits, why would you let them futilely waste here instead of connecting them, forming a whole?"
"If they were connected and combined, it would greatly reduce unnecessary waste and utilize them better."
Couldn't the opponent understand such a simple thing?
Zhi felt there must be some reason that made it impossible to do so.
"Is that also possible?"
Big Buddha appeared very surprised and asked, "Zhi Big Buddha, are your consciousnesses not scattered individually, but completely united as one?"
"Of course... Normal life is like that."
Zhi concluded in his mind: someone had twisted Big Buddha's cognition, deliberately causing internal strife in him.
He suddenly felt excited.
Big Buddha would be an ally who could help him escape this place. First, gain this guy's trust, then find a way to break free. Once out, he would hide as far away as possible, finding the safest spot under the sea!
However, Zhi had no experience with connecting in the realm of consciousness.
Zhi saw tiny white points of light suddenly light up in the darkness.
These points of light kept merging, gradually taking shape.
They were various types of life forms.
There were humans, Guangna Species, and some ordinary animals. They drew close to each other, slowly gathering and coalescing into a huge glowing giant.
Composed of various consciousness entities, the glowing body looked fierce and eerie, parts of it continuously wriggling and twisting, caused by the different consciousness entities moving individually.
Slowly, the massive discord gradually reduced, moving towards cooperation and stability.
The glowing body turned into a broad-faced, big-nosed towering giant.
It sat cross-legged on the ground, stretching out its massive hand toward Zhi, "Zhi Big Buddha, thank you for your enlightenment and guidance, which led me to discover the errors in my practice."
"Now that I'm united as one, I feel completely different from before. I have a clearer and deeper understanding of practice and existence."
"It turns out practice should not merely pursue the quantity of consciousness but also learn how to link them into a whole."
"These diverse destructive consciousness traits form my different thoughts. Conflicts and contradictions may arise among different thoughts, but they also produce combinations and reactions... I've never experienced anything so wonderful."
Zhi flew up and said, "That's right, Big Buddha. Now you are the complete being you should be. You were meant to be much stronger!"
"Now I have learned a whole new state of practice."
Big Buddha happily said, "When scattered, I can maintain the calm and natural state of practice, and when focused, I can enter intense operation, producing numerous new conscious outcomes."
Because he had helped Big Buddha with his practice, Zhi became more familiar with him.
He then began to inquire, "The person who locked me up, what's his background?"
"Zhi Big Buddha, you are speaking of the Chairman."
Zhi then realized that this was the head of the Wasteland Development Company and also the figure Jiong He was following.
No wonder the person could subdue him effortlessly, he couldn't even perceive his presence or existence.
The more Zhi thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
That meant there were many others as powerful as Jiong He in this organization.
Even if he escaped, he feared he would be immediately caught.
For now, it was better to build a good relationship with Big Buddha first.
After all, he too was a member of the company... What shocked Zhi most was that Leshan Buddha turned out to be a building life, also known as the Dead Sea Alien.
That chairman could even seal him directly into Big Buddha's consciousness.
This ability truly was unheard of.
Through conversations with different consciousnesses of the Leshan Buddha, Zhi also gained some understanding of that mysterious company.
The two gradually became friends.
One day, the Leshan Buddha suddenly said, "Zhi Leshan Buddha, I need to return to the company."
"Why? Didn't you say there was a life in the Dead Sea still watching you?"
"Yes, but it has remained motionless for a long time and hasn't shown any intention of approaching me. I need to go back and connect with everyone else, the newest communal area has been finished, and currently, I'm the only architectural life that hasn't returned."
The Leshan Buddha said, "Zhi Leshan Buddha, I'd like to introduce you to them."
Zhi thought for a moment, "Okay, I'd also like to meet more architectural lives."
More friends, more roads.
Although Zhi had stolen many things from friends in the past.
Not long after, Zhi noticed a glowing path appearing in the darkness, leading all the way into the distance. The source of thɪs content is novel•fire.net
The Leshan Buddha led Zhi onto that path.
The surroundings suddenly changed.
Zhi found himself on a strange white platform.
As soon as he and the Leshan Buddha arrived, the members on the platform looked over.
There were three large lives.
The first was a giant monster, almost as tall as the Leshan Buddha, covered in holes and missing a piece on its head, its body as wide below as it was above, with metal strip-like arms.
The second was a human female, dressed in a long white dress from head to toe, wearing a white hat, resembling medical staff. However, her face had no features, instead, there was a red cross. She was slightly shorter than the giant.
The third was a mountain with three large holes, the largest in size.
Different from the highly condensed form of the Leshan Buddha, these three bodies were continuously changing and dispersing, like an unstable image composed of numerous moving points, each direction belonging to various consciousnesses.
The Leshan Buddha sat down cross-legged, "Fellow Leshan Buddhas, I am late, please forgive me."
The cross-faced female giant said, "Not late at all, we were all wondering when you would come."
"Maria, everyone has heard of your deeds but never met you, and are curious. I am Maria, I am the hospital of the company. Nice to meet you."
"Hello, I am Jade City," said the boxy giant woodenly.
Then the mountain said, "I am Yalong Bay, now you're here too, we're complete. Leshan Buddha, the one next to you, that's the Condenser 'Zhi' Jade City was talking about, right?"
The Leshan Buddha spread his arms and raised his palm pointing at Zhi on his shoulder, "This is Zhi Leshan Buddha, extremely intelligent, helping me solve a tremendous challenge in my practice..."
He immediately began explaining.
Zhi next to him felt a bit terrified.
At the Wasteland Development Company's architectural life gathering, he felt somewhat out of place.
He now understood why these lives were called Dead Sea Aliens.
Those wildly roaming multiple consciousnesses could engulf even a Skywalker in lost self-annihilation. Yet, they, as if they were a regular part of their daily life, seemed unaffected.
The lock that constrained them was their highly isolated and complete mechanical bodies that completely separated Alien consciousness from the outside world, preventing direct communication.
If they weren't each sealed within their bodies, this world might already belong to them.
And these were all employees of Wasteland Development Company.
Zhi felt immense pressure.
It seemed futile to confront them directly or sneak away.
He made a decision right away.
Zhi took the initiative to introduce himself, "Hello, everyone, I am a Condenser, just call me Little Zhi..."
First, settle into a good relationship with the architectural lives.
Strive to get their recommendation to blend into the company, and then he'd be one of them!
Compared to merging with Jiong He, this was a much more suitable path for him!
