The Warlord observed the Ice Pot that had merged with the remnants of the Golden Tree, saying, "The disparity between the upper and lower limits of the Golden Tree is significant, directly related to its size and purity."

"The Golden Tree, which is birthed from the metamorphosis of the Golden Branch, is characterized by its 'Twisted Silk Branch' growth trait, unlike the Golden Branch, which extends outward."

"The core of Twisted Silk Branch is reshaping, reorganizing the internal structure with high precision and purity. A large amount of Twisted Silk Branch will form a tree-ring structure akin to three-dimensional annual rings within the Golden Tree."

Zhou Yi was a bit surprised, "Have you seen a Golden Tree, senior?"

"Of course."

The Warlord said, "I have seen Golden Trees twice in Golden Elephant Valley. They all evolved from the Golden Elephant Flag, first growing Golden Branches and then the Twisted Silk Tree."

"Golden Trees are extremely rare in Golden Elephant Valley. Once they grow to a certain size, the upper half is cut off, leaving only the root system."

"Unlike regular trees, the greatest value and vitality of a Golden Tree come from the dense golden branches in their twisted state. Although the bottom part is an organ for transforming other substances into gold, it is not the most important. The little remaining root, being of high-purity gold, is quickly consumed by the Golden Elephant."

"The two nascent Golden Trees were both LV3 Light Core Bodies, growing rapidly. They were chopped down at LV5, unable to reach the level of a Transformer."

Zhou Yi thought.

In Golden Elephant Valley, once a Golden Elephant reaches a certain size, its upper body is cut off, leaving only the four legs collapsed in the valley.

The Golden Tree, similarly, is felled in the upper section.

This aligns with the Seeder's usual harvesting style.

In other words.

The Seeder essentially consumes the Golden Elephant in two parts, much like nibbling pea shoots and then harvesting the next batch of peas.

Zhou Yi redirected his attention back to the Ice Pot itself.

At this point, the Ice Pot had completely turned into a golden pot, with the golden silk at the branch tips slowly coiling and winding, more like some modern factory-processed decorative piece.

"Senior, is there any hidden risk in connecting the Ice Pot with this piece of Golden Tree remnant?"

"No hidden risks. It's fortunate to have bypassed many years of detours," the Warlord laughed. "The current situation is like a withered tree meeting spring. The mature golden branches of this segment of the Golden Tree have completely lost consciousness, but important tree rings are still preserved inside. As long as it follows the tree rings, the Ice Pot can build an entirely new powerful body. Judging from the density of the tree ring's cross-section, reaching LV5 is not a problem."

Zhou Yi carefully examined the golden pot.

Yet, no tree rings were visible to the naked eye.

The Warlord handed over a magnifying glass. "Use this to observe, I made it initially to observe the Golden Tree. I call it the Golden Tree Mirror."

Using the magnifying glass, Zhou Yi immediately discovered complex interlaced lines across the cross-section of the Golden Tree's golden branch.

These golden lines varied in thickness, forming numerous circles, waves, polygons, triangles, columns, spheres, and polyhedra inside... The Golden Tree was woven with a mathematical world made of golden lines.

He couldn't help but recall his first time entering the Heavenly Person Graveyard, seeing those Heavenly People Gemstones that also had similar structures.

There seemed to be a hidden commonality among these types of life.

"No, Da Zhou, you're mistaken."

Xiao Fu suddenly intervened, "Golden Creatures are the original version. The Heavenly People Gemstones are clearly imitations, can't you see? Look carefully, each Heavenly People Gemstone has its golden prototype here."

Zhou Yi was taken aback.

He had encountered many Heavenly People Gemstones by now and could tell that they were indeed highly similar to the golden line structures.

"Da Zhou, most technologies in the world are imitations of natural laws," said Reverse Flow. "It's just that low-level civilizations imitate crudely, while high-level civilizations achieve higher completion, but regardless of the precision, they can only continuously approach without becoming the original."

"Because almost all world laws are interconnected, one can never recreate the perfect law model without understanding all the universe's secrets."

"Reaching that level would be like the cosmic creator, beyond our discussion scope."

"Just as the prototype of the glider is birds and insects, the prototype of architecture is mountains and caves, so does each concept life has its material prototype. It cannot appear out of thin air, separate from a prototype."

"Heavenly People are Second Order Assemblies, special life forms assembled layer by layer until finalized."

"See, their basic units include the bodies of Cave People, humans, specially made stones, liquid methane... all of which naturally exist in the environment or are products processed from natural raw materials."

Xiao Fu confidently said, "In technology, the principle of consistency is emphasized. The core is to ensure the system remains uniform in logic, structure, behavior, or interfaces, reducing cognitive load, improving maintainability, and lowering error risk."

"Hence, within a system, the core components must be kept consistent."

"The Heavenly System strives to ensure stability while adopting components of natural life or life products, thereby enhancing the body's limits and plasticity through the growth and extensibility of life itself."

"Thus, the gemstone is not born out of thin air, but has a prototype."

"In this world, the Sun is the best elemental factory and the source of all consciousness. As remnants of the Sun, gold is inherently a perfect carrier of natural laws."

"Choosing to mimic the microstructure of the Golden Tree and using this law to construct gemstone technology is a very rational and mature behavior. Because gold naturally comes with stability and plasticity."

"Da Zhou, why can gemstones construct the Ring Solar Wall? Continuously collecting the Sun's energy, why can gemstones be used to create an Artificial Sun, aligning with solar energy?"

"Because the gemstone is a replica of the golden structure, they are structures of different materials, naturally compatible with the Sun!"

It assertively concluded, "The Ring Solar Wall has red-blue cycles; the blue cycle absorbs the most pristine energy of the Sun, and the red cycle collects the information the Sun releases."

"From start to finish, Heavenly People are assembly life created to better collect and utilize the Sun!"

"From inside out, the five types of fibers, gemstone structural parameters, they are in every aspect highly compatible with the Sun. This is a very typical consistency principle."

"The numerous coincidences and synchrons always indicate a deep inevitable connection behind them."

"The prototype of the Heavenly People Gemstones is the Golden Tree's microstructure."

Zhou Yi sorted through his thoughts.

The point made by Reverse Flow was logical and well-founded.

Specializing in Circular Flow Technology for many years, Xiao Fu definitely had a say in this regard.

This helped him understand the underlying logic of the Heavenly People Gemstones; knowing their prototype revealed their function and operational mode.

Thus.

By further understanding the Golden Tree, more mechanisms of the Heavenly People Gemstones could also be unraveled.

Considering the Golden Tree discovered within the Time Master's body.

Zhou Yi immediately traveled to the Moon to seek out the Night God for assistance.

"...The gemstone's prototype is the golden structure of the Golden Tree? That's an interesting discovery."

"Let me see what's the relation between the Time Master and this."

The Night God's pupils turned black as she gazed at the Ice Pot connected to the Golden Tree remnant.

After a while.

Her pupils turned blood-red, faintly glowing.

Soon, the Night God showed a surprised expression, "This is food that the Time Master consumed but hasn't fully digested yet."

"The Golden Tree is the Time Master's sustenance?" Zhou Yi asked.

"Yes."

The Night God's eyes gradually returned to normal, "The feedback from my main body is that mature Golden Trees are substances that the Time Master likes to ingest. The Time Master seeks out mature Golden Trees to prey on. It must digest the Golden Tree to read the source's solar information."

"Golden itself tends towards a disorderly structure. But once it grows into a Golden Tree, it forms a solar trajectory inside, which is what you saw as various micro-level structural shapes."

"The solar trajectory reflects part of the birth to the present of the Sun, as you've seen in those microstructures."

"This solar trajectory is the decoded solar information, and the Time Master processes and digests the Golden Tree to read these information as food."

Zhou Yi suddenly realized.

The Ice Pot had become a golden-life bonsai, slowly winding at the branches with golden threads, resembling some modern factory-made decorative piece.

"But of course, only a part can be reconstructed, and it seems the thing was half-baked in absorbing all the information inside," Night God commented.

But there was still something he couldn't help but wonder, he asked the Ice Pot, "What is recorded in the Golden Tree? Can you read it?"

"Chairman, I was able to read some information."

Then Zhou Yi hesitated. "Is it about the Time Master?"

The Ice Pot paused. "The battlefield also had conflicts with the Heavenly People..."

He was taken aback.

It turns out the Golden Tree had also clashed with the Heavenly People.

It was actually a three-side battle.
