Zhou Yi has been as busy as a spinning top lately.
Activating Jupiter to suppress the Heavenly People was just the start, but the strategy to transform them was the most challenging part yet.
The urgent task was to maintain the stability of the Ring Solar Wall to prevent the String Civilization from escaping.
He immediately communicated with the Golden Tree.
On the other end, they said, "Don't worry, that guy can't get out. I've called on the power of Proxima Centauri and am currently fighting for dominance with it. Right now, all its energy is tied up battling me, locking the String Light on me, so there shouldn't be any trouble."
"Finish up on your end as soon as possible... I need your help. It's exhausting dealing with it on my own."
"Alright."
Since the situation with the String Civilization and the Golden Tree was currently a stalemate, it was relatively stable for the time being.
Zhou Yi then directed Jupiter to emit signals, getting in touch with Zhang Zhi, who had been missing for some time.
In the aerial image, Zhang Zhi was seated inside a spherical Gemstone Body, controlling it to roll along the Ring Solar Wall, checking and repairing damaged areas along the way.
Other Gem Workers were also operating various Gemstone Bodies, busy with construction and maintenance tasks.
Zhou Yi said, "Hello? Can you hear me?"
Zhang Zhi looked around in confusion, as if unsure whether he misheard.
"Chairman, please hold on for a moment. I will complete the real-time image projection shortly."
Xiao Chongqing closed his eyes for a moment in thought and then opened them, his pupils turning red: "Alright."
At this moment, Zhou Yi's face appeared inside the spherical Gemstone Body.
Zhang Zhi was so startled that he shuddered: "Thi-this... Mr. Zhou?"
Zhou Yi waved at him through the gemstone: "Long time no see. How have you been?"
"I'm doing well."
Zhang Zhi cautiously looked around, lowering his voice: "Mr. Zhou, by invading the Ring Solar Wall like this, if discovered by the Heavenly People, it won't be good... It's extremely dangerous."
"It's fine."
Zhou Yi laughed, "The Heavenly People have already been defeated. We've won."
"Huh?"
Zhang Zhi's usually calm face showed an expression of astonishment.
He couldn't believe it: "You say the Heavenly People are defeated, meaning... in a certain area?"
"That's right. We activated Jupiter, confining them within a specific space. Although they're floating around the Sun, they can't move and have been remotely locked by Jupiter."
Zhou Yi said sternly, "The colonial rule of the Heavenly People over Earth is over."
"..."
Zhang Zhi looked utterly bewildered.
Zhou Yi was helpless.
He had already informed several collaborators, including the Warlord, Old King, Black Emperor II, Yongli, and the Dream Demon Clan, among whom only the Old King remained calm.
It wasn't because it had foreseen this or was unaffected, but because the Old King's Star Axis Matrix had been continuously observing the entire Solar System.
The changes in Jupiter, the attack of the Heavenly People, and finally the initiation of combat mode by this Hunting Star, indiscriminately locking and sanctioning the Heavenly People... All these scenes were captured completely by the Sky Patrol Telescope.
The Old King was the closest spectator to the scene, witnessing the entire process.
Having passed the initial shock, emotions were relatively stable.
However, everyone else found it hard to believe and kept asking questions endlessly.
Zhou Yi simply referred them to the Old King, advising them to watch the real-time footage from the Sky Patrol Telescope.
Zhang Zhi also spent quite some time observing the Heavenly People and checking around the Ring Solar Wall on the spot.
Finally, after a moment of hesitation, he dismantled a piece of the gemstone wall, causing the surrounding Gem Workers to stare in surprise and fear.
They waited for a while.
But nothing happened.
The anxiety on Zhang Zhi's face faded, showing a relieved expression: "Before, during construction of the Ring Solar Wall, any artificial damage, whether intentional or accidental, would cause the worker operating it to be sealed into the wall by the Heavenly People, becoming part of it."
"Now there's no response at all; they truly seem incapable of movement."
Zhou Yi said, "You're quite bold, not afraid that my information might be inaccurate?"
"Mr. Zhou acts with foresight; I trust you. Besides, without a bit of courage, many things can't be done."
Zhang Zhi adapted quickly, immediately asking: "So how should we arrange things on our end now?"
"Keep everything as it is for now."
Zhou Yi said, "The Ring Solar Wall itself is a perfected and stable constant star-level project. Not only does it efficiently collect and use String Light, but it's also very productive in gathering energy and consciousness..."
He had conducted research.
Jupiter had given a detailed description of the Ring Solar Wall.
This gemstone device system, truly named the [Star Dust Lock], relies on its strength and scale, originally used for transforming various celestial bodies and was the heavenly people's forte.
The first time observing it on the site, Zhou Yi was genuinely shocked, feeling an overwhelming sense of helplessness and dread facing such a celestial scale vastness.
But now, he was unperturbed.
This thing is essentially just a modular scaffold for transforming celestial bodies.
It has tremendous expandability, with many gemstone devices installed on it.
Some of them Zhou Yi had seen.
For instance, the [Gem Sun] device used for energy sync with the Sun, better collecting the star's released high energy.
The [String Light Surface] for the collection, reflection, and concentration of String Light.
And the [Star Anchor]. As the name suggests, this device uses the Heavenly People as unit tools, pinning them down to the target planet like anchors.
This way, it can complete spatial connections and positioning through String Light and issue instructions via String Light, making the Star Anchor perform various operations.
404 City is also a Star Anchor.
There's also the [Space Auxiliary Road], which Zhou Yi previously saw as a ring-shaped hollow device on the Ring Solar Wall.
