The Old Humanity was highly active in response to this.

Perhaps being confined within false memories for too long, constantly under enforced house arrest, they now harbored a vengeful urge to travel abroad.

The risk for Consciousness is naturally much lower than for flesh and blood life, making drifting more relaxed, which quickly turned into a trend among the Old Humanity.

In the past, travel involved wandering around and eating, now as Consciousness, they embarked on cosmic drifting in small groups, which in essence is also a form of tourism.

Proxima Centauri became a popular drifting destination.

Finally came the time of the Synchronous Sun.

After Nubeer synced with this side, Zhou Yi dispatched the Black Water Ghost to 404 City to participate in the search for the Time Storage Chamber.

On that day.

Verne quickly responded: "Chairman, we have indeed found the exact location of the Time Storage Chamber through the Synchronous Sun!"

"It is continuously moving slowly in the Earth Core area and sometimes enters the mantle layer, we are currently steadily approaching it. Once it enters the mantle, we will have the chance to capture it."

"However, we also discovered something else."

"Deep in the mantle, there is a part of the Time Flow Device still active, and we need to avoid their range of influence, as they disturb time and motion."

Zhou Yi wasn't surprised by this.

The Golden Tree had already mentioned that Earth is a part of the Time Master's body. Time inherently entered the Earth Core as a lifeform lowering dimensions, gradually decomposing into a form accommodating within this space.

The two broken Four-dimensional Organs previously captured from the Time Master both failed after two years, clearly synchronizing and decomposing into other forms in the three-dimensional space.

Subsequently, Zhou Yi fished two new damaged versions of the Time Flow Device for the company to continue accelerating the cultivation of the Cave People and Pan Tree Cells.

...

Almost all proxy powers had become part of the same interest group as the company.

Among the seven proxies, only the latest Number Three Proxy maintained independence.

Zhou Yi was originally indifferent to it.

After all, even if it was a die-hard supporter of the Heavenly People, it couldn't change the current grand scheme.

However, Supervisor Jue Mingzi issued a severe warning.

"Chairman, the Number Three Proxy is currently engaged in an extremely dangerous activity and is attempting to escalate it into a global terror strike-like movement."

"Based on simulation calculations, if allowed to develop further, it may destabilize the Western and Eastern Continents, causing unforeseeable chain chaos and warfare."

Zhou Yi then turned his attention to this new proxy.

This person was called Basil, a tavern owner in a city of the Western Continent, 33 years old.

He had a kind appearance, always welcoming people with a smile. Even when faced with unpaid tabs and troublemakers, he resolved issues with tolerance.

Basil's main business was smuggling alcohol and weapons.

After surviving a brutal selection to become the Number Three Proxy, he continued running the tavern, with just one additional venture.

Turning people into weapons.

Basil transformed ordinary people into living bombs through a series of modifications. These bomb humans could choose to self-detonate at any time, causing at least C-level destruction, and at maximum A-level.

The crucial part was that any ordinary person could become a bomb human.

Jue Mingzi said: "Basil first chose those civilians who silently endured bullying for a living; he believed this was a way to balance society."

"If someone continued to oppress them, they could choose an extreme method to explode with the adversary."

"This also served as a deterrent to others."

"With years of experience in the weapons and alcohol business, Basil sincerely believed weapons were the key to peace. If everyone owned powerful weapons, even if local attacks and explosions occurred, everyone would remain somewhat restrained overall."

"Because various gangs and associations maintain balance this way. As long as there are guns and high-intensity weapons, everyone takes care to not push each other too hard."

Zhou Yi muttered to himself.

This line of thinking seemed somewhat familiar... the New Humanity is still human, and some ideas do indeed run in the same vein.

Yet it's not entirely wrong either.

Theories need to be verified through practice to hold true.

"So what happened next? What's the outcome?"

"Initially, it indeed had some beneficial impact."

Jue Mingzi reported: "In that area, bomb humans began self-detonating consecutively, and various organizations, to prevent loss of control, made a series of adjustments, reducing pressure on the bottom tier."

"Nearby cities lowered taxes and used various means to advise bomb humans to remain restrained, hoping everyone would return to negotiation and communication. Not to be overly radical and extreme, to cherish their lives and peace."

Zhou Yi was speechless.

The Western Continent always engaged in warlords' fights with armed groups clashing, yet when faced with more extreme self-bombing groups, they suddenly became conservatively appealing to cease armed actions... truly the reckless fear the audacious.

Jue Mingzi continued: "The bomb humans were all selected by Basil, and the modification method used Gem Fiber, making external detection impossible."

"Originally powerless civilians indeed experienced a brief period of relief and friendliness."

"Unfortunately, it didn't last long."

The Gem Screen on Jue Mingzi displayed a dozen simultaneously playing screens.

Zhou Yi watched those recorded real-time images.

Initially, bomb humans achieved temporary stability through unpredictability and self-detonation, but subsequently, the positioning of bomb humans began to change.

Ordinary people transformed into bomb humans acquired a terrifying power and were no longer ordinary.

The possession of a lethal weapon kindled the heart to kill.

On the contrary, they inflicted greater harm and destruction on other ordinary people.

Most people worked hard daily just for three meals and a place to sleep but suddenly one day were inexplicably blown to ashes along with their home, becoming defenseless sacrifices.

Conversely, the attacked were mostly enhancers, combined with vigilance, resulting in fewer and fewer instances of death by self-detonation.

Ordinary people transformed into bomb humans but killed more ordinary people.

This is the harsh reality.

Zhou Yi watched, his expression growing serious.

Basil had turned many civilians into bombs, and these bomb humans were then taken in by some with great power, becoming their suicide weapons.

Chaos and terror spread to more and more places in the Western Continent.

Basil, however, continued to hasten the production of bomb humans—he believed that the current chaos stemmed from insufficient bombs, necessitating more to transform everyone into a bomb.

If this continued... cities in the Western Continent would become unmanageable, order would be impossible to stabilize, and terror explosions could occur anytime, anywhere.

Zhou Yi agreed with Jue Mingzi's assessment.

This was no ordinary transgression by a proxy.

A massive blow was necessary!

Zhou Yi pondered.

The Gemstone Transformer was currently altering the Moon's atmosphere, so he couldn't act, meaning another would have to execute the capture of the Number Three Proxy.

He dispatched Qing Liu to pilot the Seeder Ship for a trip.

The Seeder Ship itself was strong enough, at the Transformer level, and wouldn't trigger other Supervisors or even the Heavenly People's stress response.

After pinpointing Basil.

The Seeder Ship descended instantly, directly absorbing Basil, who was drinking beer in the tavern.

The Light Core Body stood powerless against the Seeder Ship.

On Jue Mingzi's screen, Basil, holding a beer bottle, appeared bewildered inside the Gemstone Transformer's body, and next came the Night God's transformation process.

It was settled.

Though Zhou Yi couldn't decide who would be a proxy, he could certainly decide who couldn't be.

Zhou Yi considered.

This Number Three Proxy seemed to carry a certain curse, always causing some commotion, slightly in conflict with Zhou Yi.

It was uncertain if it was coincidence or supernatural.

The Night God, however, was pleased: "Finally, a newcomer arrived. I was short-handed here, it's perfect timing! He will be tasked with cooling and inspecting the gemstone hot zone with methane…"

While chatting with her.

Zhou Yi received a message from the Golden Tree.

[The Artificial Sun has merged with that Transformer.]

[Very useful.]

[With the aid of that Supervisor, this Sun has now reached the Transformer level.]

Zhou Yi was delighted.
