Wasteland Development Diary

At this moment, Xiao Fu suddenly said, "That's not right."

"The Great Holy Spirit is the collection of all conscious entities in a world, the ultimate form of collective consciousness. To forcibly impose commands on it, theoretically, you need to control over 50% of the existing conscious entities in the entire world and make them make the same choice."

"High-dimensional civilizations can indeed do this. But in existing cases, they all select specific large numbers of conscious entities to create their own Great Holy Spirit. It's not like that here."

"However, the fact that records related to the Huanliu outbreak have been erased is also true. In other destroyed worlds, these records, though not many, always exist, but here on Earth, they cannot be found at all."

"The Celestials' goal is the ring around the sun, seeking replacement lives for the Glass People."

"To avoid being recorded by the Great Holy Spirit, they adopt vertical consciousness projection, that is, like the Tengu, they look for local life and project it onto this world. The parts of the body projected in the early attempts did not interact with local life."

"They never died here, and their true information is not known to any life in this world. Being wary of electromechanical life is also to avoid their own details being known to the outside world."

Zhou Yi thought silently.

No wonder when that dying Celestial merged with the dragon, the other Celestials immediately attacked the dragon.

The Streamtracer said, "Golden Elephant Herders, that's a good name. This group has at least set foot on Earth and Mars, raising electric cats and golden elephants in these two places, indicating that they are at least a level two civilization."

"The relationship between the Celestials and them is unknown, but they do not violate each other's territories."

"Judging from the results of their actions, the Golden Elephant Herders are only interested in raising various life forms and creating special places."

Zhou Yi thought it made sense.

He asked, "Then how is it that the Great Holy Spirit cannot record Huanliu?"

"Eliminate the wrong answers, and what remains is the closest result."

The Streamtracer slowly said, "The conclusion is that over 50% of the conscious entities in this world are controlled by one or a certain group of entities."

"Not the Celestials' acquired modification, but a group of life that has always existed here."

"They shield and hide the related records of the Huanliu outbreak."

Zhou Yi's hair stood on end as he listened: "Are you saying... they are Earth natives?"

"Of course. Although their specific identities are unknown, there are actually many clues to follow."

Xiao Fu seemed very interested in this group, talking eloquently: "They have a high degree of control over the consciousness side, so the Celestials have been avoiding setting foot on the consciousness side."

"They are good at concealing themselves, deeply influencing this world from behind. Most life forms are not even aware of their existence."

"I think even conceptual life forms probably can't detect them."

"They gave the material side to the foreign Celestials and continued to control the consciousness side. The Celestials also reached some kind of tacit understanding with them, not setting foot on the other side of the world."

"They existed long before the Huanliu outbreak, a powerful group life, coexisting with the old humans, perhaps even more ancient and long-standing than the old humans."

"This group of ancient rulers witnessed the destruction and rewriting of the entire world's material side by the Huanliu outbreak. Under the strong impact of Huanliu, they could not hide at that moment, because the subversive changes on the material side would cause the same huge damage and movement to the consciousness side. Their vast numbers would have nowhere to hide."

"So they needed to eliminate the eyewitnesses at the time, as well as the related fragments of consciousness, in order to continue to hide behind the scenes of the world."

The Streamtracer concluded: "The surface rulers come and go, but their position is as solid as a rock."

Zhou Yi silently digested this.

He never thought that during his time in the old human civilization, there was such a huge group in existence.

However, the study of consciousness, whether by the old humans or the many life forms of this wasteland era, seems to be fraught with difficulties.

Perhaps this is related to this group.

Zhou Yi relayed Xiao Fu's deduction.

The Book-Eating Demon, who had been looking relaxed, suddenly became serious: "You know about them?"

"I don't know, just a deduction based on existing information."

"I thought this was my exclusive discovery..."

The Book-Eating Demon looked disappointed, but she quickly adjusted: "The name 'ancient rulers' is very fitting for them. I have been investigating this group for many years, and only in recent years have I made breakthrough progress."

"They manipulate and influence the Great Holy Spirit. In the realm of the Great Holy Spirit, they cannot be touched."

"But on this material side, I found traces of them."

"I have been collecting various books, especially paper records from the old human era, because the number of books is very small now."

She drank her sparkling water again.

"During the search process, I went deep underground, because the old humans built a lot of underground buildings, some of which were quite secret, containing special paper records that cannot be obtained outside."

"As I went deeper, I found an unusually large number of consciousness fragments underground."

"Under normal circumstances, the number of life forms living underground is very small, mostly insects. Large creatures rarely appear underground. The soil is compressed and solidified by the Dead Sea, making movement extremely difficult, and with a lot of impurities, it is naturally not suitable for most life forms to exist."

"However, even in such an environment, at a depth of hundreds or even thousands of meters underground, the number of consciousness fragments was not significantly less than on the surface. This is very strange."

The Book-Eating Demon said softly: "I continued to go deeper underground, and the number of consciousness fragments actually increased, but I didn't find a single normal conscious entity."

"Until the deepest place I could reach, I still saw only consciousness fragments, and finally I had to stop trying."

"After returning, I pieced together the large number of fragments I collected along the way. As long as there is enough related content, my [Book Writing] ability is enough to complete the association and completion between the fragments. Although it took me a lot of time, the result was very satisfactory."

"I found them."

The Book-Eating Demon looked at Zhou Yi, saying each word carefully: "They created and stripped out these fragments."

"As long as the conscious entity is still moving and continuing, it will constantly separate a part of the fragments."

"The relatively quiet depths of the underground are the areas they frequent."

"The consciousness side cannot observe them, only the material side can be used to observe and verify them."

Zhou Yi listened attentively.

"In the process of tracking and finding them, I discovered a pattern. If you break down a conscious entity into specific fragments and connect them with other fragments, then you can continuously expand the area you cover without going through the Great Holy Spirit."

The Book-Eating Demon said, "Give me a piece of paper."

Yuanxiao handed over a piece of white paper from the side.

The Book-Eating Demon took it and tore it into four strips.

"Like this, broken down into consciousness fragments."

"Then use them to form connections with other conscious entities. Those conscious entities are natural coordinates that can be jumped and connected to. This is what I learned from them."

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

"That group of guys moves around by riding on consciousness fragments."

"They are the rulers earlier than the old humans. As long as you enter the consciousness side, you enter their kingdom and ruling area. Every spiritual medium of the Great Holy Spirit may be played by them."

Although he had vaguely guessed such a possibility.

But after the Book-Eating Demon said it, Zhou Yi still felt his back tingle.

"In this world, the material side is shrouded by the Celestials. The consciousness side is the territory of the ancient rulers, so where can we go? Probably only escape this world."

The Book-Eating Demon said with a smile.

"However, I have found a new place that has rarely been set foot on."

She added: "Information is still a free domain, between the consciousness and material sides, and the fragmented consciousness that permeates the world constitutes it."

"If a middle information side is opened up, complete and detailed information can be found beyond the Great Holy Spirit. Our information side can check what the Great Holy Spirit can check, and we dare to check what the Great Holy Spirit cannot check."

Zhou Yi was shocked: "You want to create a new Great Holy Spirit?"

"Not bad."

The other party nodded: "There is a problem with the Great Holy Spirit on the consciousness side. Many conceptual life forms should be aware of it, but they are helpless because of deep binding and dependence."

"The information side can collect information provided by all life forms through a large number of consciousness fragments and verify each other. Although it may not be 100% accurate, it will not be restricted. As long as consciousness fragments are provided, they can be accessed and read. The 'Book of All Beings' will play such a role in the future."

Zhou Yi understood.

The Book-Eating Demon is preparing to turn the 'Book of All Beings' into a wasteland Wikipedia.

Faced with the various difficulties in this world, all parties are trying to find a way out.

The Heavenly Kingdom is expanding its territory, Xing Shu is carrying out cosmic voyages, and the Book-Eating Demon wants to open up the information side.

"By the way."

Zhou Yi suddenly remembered something: "I heard that the Mount Tai Knights have conflicts with you? They are also collecting various books from the old human era."

"Not conflicts."

The Book-Eating Demon waved her hand: "They are direct competitors."

"That group of guys is also fighting for the right to speak and control in the field of information, but they use data space built with programs to define it."

"After the defeat of the resistance against the Celestials, the Mount Tai Knights were not idle. They set their sights on this direction at that time. However, although they started earlier than me, they cannot leave data and programs due to mechanism issues. I am directly dynamically expanding with consciousness fragments, and their progress and mechanism are behind me."

"So they are searching for old human cities under the sea."

Zhou Yi then understood the entanglement between the two.

He asked, "Is there anything I can help with?"

The Book-Eating Demon smiled: "Coming here was actually accidental, a decision made by Xiao Chu, a pleasant surprise for me."

"Xiao Chu's God-Given New Clothes model is a pilot project of mine, spreading consciousness fragments out for a long time and forming connections with every life's conscious entity. They keep moving, and I can connect to other fragments around them, which is beneficial to the growth and improvement of the 'Book of All Beings'."

"I hope he continues to do this."

Zhou Yi nodded: "No problem, we can cooperate with our garment factory to make customized co-branded God-Given New Clothes."

"I also want to borrow your electric cats."

"Electric cats?"

"Yes."

The Book-Eating Demon said seriously: "I want to use them to convert consciousness fragments and electrical signals into each other and establish a stable, ultra-large information library here to back up and connect to the 'Book of All Beings'."

Zhou Yi frowned: "But we don't have such a large physical carrier here, nor do we have consciousness fragment conversion technology. Perhaps electromechanical cities have complete supporting facilities in this regard."

"No need."

The Book-Eating Demon said: "Electric cats have their own information characteristics. They are natural information libraries!"
