Wasteland Development Diary

“Not a Celestial.”

Xiao Fu asserted, “The style of the Celestials isn't like this. They never conceal themselves when they appear. Facing all living beings on Earth, they directly send Light Core Giants to establish their rule.”

“Although the Great Buddha has grown to some extent, it's still just a Light Core body. In the eyes of the Celestials, a Light Core body is no different from a Sky Walker.”

Zhou Yi thought that made sense.

His other guess was aimed at the ancient rulers who controlled the Great Holy Spirits.

The Emerald City flew back to Sandport, and Sha Lang was sent to the hospital by Da Vinci for emergency surgery.

Zhou Yi then contacted the Book-Eating Demon.

The Book-Eating Demon replied straightforwardly: “It's not those guys.”

“Their characteristic is concealment and behind-the-scenes control, indirectly controlling the consciousness side through the Great Holy Spirits. Changes on the material side are irrelevant to them.”

“The Great Buddha doesn't affect their interests.”

“However, I know who did it.”

Zhou Yi quickly asked: “Who?”

“The Lord of the Dead Sea.”

The Book-Eating Demon explained: “The Great Buddha is eliminating the Three Calamities of the Dead Sea over there, which is a good thing for the nearby life, but it's a kind of damage to the Dead Sea itself. Because this reduces the local activity of the Dead Sea, reducing changes and movement. The concept life whose prototype is the Gyre Impact, 'Dead Sea,' is what we more often call 'Lord of the Dead Sea,' and it will be stimulated to manifest.”

“It's the strongest consciousness body in this world, and also a very special conceptual life. The Lord of the Dead Sea has never shown a side of self-consciousness, nor does it talk to any conceptual life. It's more like a manifestation of the power of rules.”

“Light bursts, high pressure, and torrents are all manifestations of its power.”

“Because the entire world is surrounded by the Gyre, even if all the conceptual lives here are added together, I'm afraid they can't contend with it head-on.”

Zhou Yi muttered to himself.

The Book-Eating Demon said: “The Lord of the Dead Sea doesn't connect to the Great Holy Spirits.”

“The biggest advantage of the Great Holy Spirits is that they connect to any consciousness body in the world, providing instantaneous links and obtaining consciousness fragments from every region for the consciousness bodies to dig and collect.”

“The Lord of the Dead Sea has no such need.”

“Since the beginning of the Gyre Impact, it has been the strongest life on this Earth. Even if it does nothing, the power of the Dead Sea will continue to increase… So it is independent of the Great Holy Spirit system.”

Zhou Yi felt a burst of envy in his heart.

This one is indeed a heavyweight.

He doesn't care about anyone.

He thought about it.

On the bright side, the Lord of the Dead Sea cannot be controlled by any party.

On the downside, the Great Buddha's cultivation directly collided with this one… This path can be considered nightmare difficulty in the future.

“Actually, there's no need to worry.”

The Book-Eating Demon said about this: “Although the strength of the Lord of the Dead Sea is above all consciousness bodies, its actions are also very clear. As long as the operation and activity of the Dead Sea are not significantly interfered with, it will not take action.”

Zhou Yi asked along the way: “That cross-sea bridge of our Wuhu overpass, and the suspended layer, does it have any impact?”

“No impact.”

The Book-Eating Demon said: “The Heavenly Kingdom and the Mechanical City tried to reclaim land from the sea in the past, you should know that, right? It was completely unmoved.”

“The Dead Sea can be seen as a huge life form. The high-pressure zone is its organs, the torrent is its blood vessels and blood, and the light burst is its metabolism and chemical reactions. These reactions were interfered with and eliminated by the Great Buddha, so of course it would provoke the attack of the Lord of the Dead Sea.”

Zhou Yi thought, it's okay if infrastructure doesn't affect it.

The key to not triggering the appearance of the Lord of the Dead Sea is not to interfere with the internal movement of the Dead Sea itself. Building land based on the Dead Sea does not affect it. If the Dead Sea is regarded as a macroscopic life covering the Earth, humans using its energy and matter cannot cause substantial damage to it, somewhat like bacteria to the human body.

The Great Buddha then became a super-large mutated cell, began to affect the operation of its local organs, and then was directly locked and blown up by the Lord of the Dead Sea.

…

The Great Buddha's attack incident was cleared up.

Next is the treatment phase.

Zhou Yi gritted his teeth and finally took out the last energy block stored in the prosthetic leg to heal the Great Buddha. At present, this alien employee can't even speak, and the damage is very serious.

After the energy block came into contact with the broken Light Core, the two began to slowly merge.

The damaged Light Core was gradually surrounded by a large amount of light flow, and absorbed a large amount of dust and gravel from the Dead Sea, gradually gathering and repairing.

Slowly, the stone Buddha structure gradually reappeared in the Dead Sea.

Only this time, it was covered with cracks, its eyes closed in a seated position, as if it was sleeping or meditating.

The Cat God, who was protecting and taking care of him, said: "Chairman, it will take some time to repair completely, because the Light Core has been severely damaged."

“Most of the consciousness in its body is in a state of forced hibernation, and it needs to gradually awaken and repair it.”

Then, only two days passed.

The Great Buddha was directly revived with full health.

“Zhou Yi Great Buddha, I am completely unharmed and feel good.”

The stone Buddha in front of him had regained its jade-like whiteness, with a Buddha light on its head. But unlike before, its eyes were closed and could not be opened.

Zhou Yi was initially worried whether this was an aftereffect.

“Zhou Yi Great Buddha, after this life-and-death cultivation, my 'Lay Down the Butcher Knife' ability has been stimulated to an unprecedented extreme. Now this ability is undergoing a transformation that I cannot describe, and I need to inject most of my consciousness and energy into it.”

“The contraction of external perception is also to better carry out this stage of cultivation.”

The Le Shan Great Buddha added: “Thank you for your care and help. With the energy block supply, my consciousness has been completely repaired and has undergone some changes.”

A crystal-clear Light Core emerged from the center of its brow.

The Light Core slowly rotated.

Zhou Yi's eyes suddenly widened as he watched.

This is… a hexahedral Light Core!

The Great Buddha entered the LV2 Light Core body stage.

Zhou Yi gasped, what a fast upgrade speed!

He also felt puzzled in his heart.

How was this done?

“It's because of the Lord of the Dead Sea.”

The Great Buddha said: “Cleaning up the Three Calamities of the Dead Sea brought me a large amount of consciousness feedback, and obtained a large number of consciousness fragments and connections with consciousness bodies.”

“Briefly constructing Xinqiu allowed various consciousness bodies to approach me.”

“The most crucial thing is the Lord of the Dead Sea. Bearing and digesting the Light Core-level light burst, and the attack consciousness of the Lord of the Dead Sea caused me serious damage, but it also allowed 'Lay Down the Butcher Knife' to evolve a large amount of consciousness domain from it, and even produced a qualitative change…”

“The Lord of the Dead Sea is a very good teacher. The consciousness and power it showed benefited me a lot.”

“If we want to transform the Dead Sea in the future, we must overcome the Lord of the Dead Sea.”

Zhou Yi was shocked.

He really used the top BOSS, the Lord of the Dead Sea, to level up?

The Great Buddha added: “Now that there is nothing wrong, Zhou Yi Great Buddha, I request to continue my westward cultivation.”

“…”

Zhou Yi didn't know what to say for a moment.

The Great Buddha is not afraid of death and continues to challenge the top boss. He appreciates this kind of ambition and fighting spirit.

However.

Zhou Yi sighed: “If you encounter the Lord of the Dead Sea again next time, you may not survive. I may not be able to save you in time. Its strength is unfathomable. It is rumored to be the strongest life on Earth.”

The Great Buddha only said: “Zhou Yi Great Buddha, please don't worry about this.”

“The Lord of the Dead Sea never wanted to kill me, otherwise I would have died on the spot.”

“In fact, the power it unleashed just exceeded my current limit… Although I don't know why, the consciousness it showed was not a threat of death, but a very peculiar tendency…”

After hesitating for a while, the Great Buddha described: “It seems to want to absorb me.”

“After destroying me and tearing me apart, my ability also took effect, reducing its desire to attack, and at this time I sensed that subtle tendency of consciousness.”

“A large number of consciousness fragments invaded my consciousness body. Those fragments would cause great pain and disturbance to the consciousness body, just like throwing a large amount of silt and stones into the pipeline of clear water.”

“If it were a normal situation, I would eventually become a part of the Dead Sea consciousness.”

“Fortunately, because of your rescue, I was able to maintain my self.”

“It wants to absorb and transform me, and I use it as a mirror to hone myself. It is the strongest life I have ever seen… Facing it with the ability to lay down the butcher knife can show very incredible effects, so that this ability has been stimulated to produce a mutation and evolution.”

“If we want to transform the Dead Sea in the future, we must cross the Lord of the Dead Sea.”

Zhou Yi had to helplessly say: “Let me tell you the truth, I don't have a single energy block left now. If you are rescued next time, you may not be able to get timely rescue, do you still want to go?”

“I will try my best to survive, Zhou Yi Great Buddha.”

Zhou Yi had a headache and waved his hand: “Go, go.”

“Before leaving, I will go to the hospital to visit and thank the Sha Lang Great Buddha who saved me.”

The Great Buddha slowly walked from the Dead Sea towards the hospital.

Zhou Yi rubbed his brow.

Architectural lives are indeed individually gifted, but this consumption is really a bit difficult to bear. In the past, there were few expenses, but now they have to eat energy blocks.

Zhou Yi grabbed the prosthetic leg and called Niger all the way to the space bubble of the Mud Tree World.

This time, the same old way.

Low gear.

Prosthetic leg, attack!

I'm going to dig energy blocks for you!

The Crazy Traveler jumped into the dark space tunnel and disappeared.
