Thinking about the 40,000 Moon People on the Moon, who are all special warriors able to counter the Heavenly People Gem, Zhou Yi couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

"Is it possible to utilize their mechanisms in actual combat? For example, we could deploy them to Jupiter's moon, confirmed as a Heavenly People territory, where they could shield and block the Heavenly People Gem?"

"Yes, it's possible."

The Night God chuckled, "But there's a small issue."

"Are you talking about deployment?"

Zhou Yi said confidently, "There's a way to handle that. Once the Rocket Bone Fish grow on Jupiter's moon Europa, they can transport the Moon People for an airdrop. Now, the new generation of Rocket Bone Fish have Moon People integrating to form families, so this won't be a problem in the future. The Giant Bone Fish will teach them combat methods against the Heavenly People. Give them time, and they'll manage."

"It's not a technical issue."

The Night God waved a finger, "It's a matter of willingness. They are very resistant to fighting and warfare."

"I know the Moon People well. They are not a combat race; they merely search for energy and Life Core to survive, and their combat experience is limited to preying on the weak."

"Breaking the Boundary projections on Earth deal only with B-level creatures weaker than them, with no chance against stronger foes."

"They won't fight those of equal level because of fear of losing and lack of confidence, let alone face the Polymorphic Transformer level Heavenly People. Even if deployed to the front line, they are likely to retreat before even entering the battlefield."

"Although it sounds unpleasant, the Moon People have never experienced war and can't handle tough battles. They prefer to flee and hide rather than confront, and that's just the reality."

"..."

Her words reminded Zhou Yi of his battle with Haruk.

At first, Haruk was vigorous and fought back and forth with him, but seeing the difficult situation, it decisively ran away, hiding in a Space Hole and refusing to come out.

Haruk also claimed to be an Explorer. Even though the Dead Sea on Earth is far less intense than the Moon, they still find this place very dangerous. They wouldn't explore unless absolutely necessary.

Both aspects confirmed the Night God's assessment.

"There's also a way to use the Evil Brain Motor to control their minds."

The Night God's eyes flashed with a sinister light as he began to propose an idea, "As long as the Evil Brain is used to manipulate consciousness, these Moon People can be turned into fearless warriors, involved in the frontline battle against the Heavenly People."

"For example, deployment on Jupiter's moon Heavenly People childcare base, sending them all there for invasion. It might render that satellite unable to use gemstones."

Zhou Yi understood, "You want the Moon People dead."

"Yes. I hope they all die."

The Night God was unabashed in his dislike, "These creatures are a scourge on the Moon, better to be a scourge to the Heavenly People there. It's a way to make full use of them."

Zhou Yi thought of something, "To this day, no Moon Person has entered the Double Tower Area on their own abilities. The mantle of this place is already the Moon Core area... Could your innate hostility and disgust for them be because your true form also comprises gemstones?"

The remark left the other stunned.

The Night God's eyes slightly widened, "You make a good point, it could indeed be possible."

"I don't have such strong feelings of love or hate as flesh-and-blood beings, but with the Moon People, there's inherent aversion and resistance, wanting to dispose of them all."

"If they were ordinary Klip Rock, they would just be materials and tools. But the emergence of life makes their changes and movement unpredictable, which probably makes me feel they are a risk and threat..."

"But liking or disliking, it's normal, isn't it?"

"What do you think of the Moon People? Would you try to train them into warriors?"

Zhou Yi shook his head, "Since they are not naturally inclined to sacrifice and fight, there's no need to force it. We should develop them based on their innate characteristics."

"Since they are explorers at heart, it's better to follow the way of an Explorer."

Engaging the Heavenly People with a beachhead landing is not a good approach.

Engaging in a cosmic-scale warfare with the Heavenly People is their comfort zone and expertise.

Previously, they even united with the Golden Tree to launch a full-on assault against the Time Master.

Clearly, they are very experienced in this area.

The weak points in life and the Domain of Consciousness should be the focus.

...

The initial Moon People understood.

Zhou Yi then shifted his attention to another matter, the new world of old humans within the gemstone.

The Night God invited him again to project his consciousness into the gemstone.

The scene before him was entirely different from the previous small town, now a vast modern metropolis.

Buildings merged with mountains, light rail trains shuttled through residential buildings, and long roads appeared on rooftops. Yellow taxis raced and turned between mountain roads and building levels, and the city's structure was complex and winding.

The city was veiled in a light mist in the early morning.

Yet there were plenty of pedestrians, some running, some drinking tea, spinning tops, walking dogs, buying breakfast, grocery shopping, selling snacks, waiting for the bus, smoking... just like returning to the old human era.

Zhou Yi immediately recognized this distinctly characteristic city.

"Did you recreate Chongqing?"

"Yes."

The Night God said with some pride, "Old Chongqing City, with 26 districts, 8 counties, and 4 autonomous counties, has been fully recreated on a one-to-one scale."

"In this city, seasonal changes and the passing of 24 hours have real effects."

"Buildings will gradually age, and various infrastructures will receive maintenance over time. Currently, 2,100 old humans permanently reside in this city. They like this more realistic city."

"But maintaining order is also an issue. Already 16 old humans have been imprisoned for vandalism, fighting, and theft. This seems to be at least an 8 per thousand crime rate. As long as their sentences are not completed, they will stay in prison here."

Zhou Yi asked, "Is this crime rate high or low?"

"Higher than Chongqing in the old human era; they seem used to acting with impunity in their own-centric worlds and haven't adapted here,"

The Night God said with a bit of helplessness, "As the population grows, the total number of criminal cases will continue to increase. But as habits form, this aspect will be curbed."

"Primarily because the city is built so meticulously and realistically, requiring constant attention in many areas; a minor mistake or damage could have a cascading effect."

"The NPCs controlled by Mechanical Life forms have helped a lot, such as in law enforcement operations and in managing trade and currency circulation calculations ... but as more old humans enter, interactions will increase, and more computational power will be required then."

"I can't keep an eye on everything, especially with other things needing attention."

"Fortunately, I now have an assistant who handles all these matters 24/7."

Zhou Yi responded with an 'oh': "Did you appoint a representative to handle it? Lady Mei? Or Wang Fengwu?"

The Night God clapped his hands.

Beside him appeared a second Night God, identical in appearance, also wearing a white lab coat, glasses, and her hair in a bun.

Zhou Yi was taken aback, "Did you create a clone?"

"No."

The Night God frowned and told the person beside her, "I've said many times, stop acting like me. Change back to your own appearance now."

The second Night God's body twisted briefly, then transformed into a tall, long-haired woman.

She wore light yellow glasses with a red dot on her brow, mahjong earrings dangling from her earlobes, with the characters [Yu] on her left ear and [Ba] on her right.

The woman was dressed in a red tank top, wide jeans hanging on her slim waist, carrying a small yellow bag with narrow straps.

She had a bright and striking beauty, but her cold demeanor exuded an unapproachable aura.

Zhou Yi was puzzled, "Who is she?"

"Her name is Little Chongqing, the administrator of this city."

The Night God smiled slightly, "You've seen her before, though she hadn't grown up back then. Now she has."

Zhou Yi furrowed his brow, thinking hard but could not recall any little girl matching this figure.

"Still not coming to mind?"

The Night God asked quizzically, then continued, "Little Chongqing is the initial Concept Life here, also the prototype of the Great Holy Spirit here."

Zhou Yi was astonished.

It was that little town creature!

"She looks completely different now!"

"Isn't there an old saying among you humans that girls change at eighteen?"

The Night God commented offhandedly.

Zhou Yi's mind couldn't help but conjure images of the previously wandering Dementor-like shadow, following sneakily behind people.

Yet what he saw now was a city-bred, cold, glamorous female model.

It was like a sinister transformation with a dose of extreme makeover magic.
