Outside the window, there was a lifelike black Raven.

The reason it's described as lifelike is because this Raven isn't a real Raven, but rather a Transformers.

Ling Yi opened the window, and the Raven flew in. After a Shapeshifting of crackling sounds, they transformed into a small robot about half a foot tall.

Judging from the appearance of the little robot, Ling Yi knew that this Transformers must have also used Team-Up Card.

Because the Transformers used Team-Up Card, their art style is no longer the original boxy shape; their body shape is more human-like.

Just as Megatron was like this, so too are Computer.

"Greetings, Your Heavenly Venerable. I am Captain Soundwave's subordinate, the Mockingbird. I bring you news from our leader Megatron."

The Mockingbird bowed slightly to Ling Yi in a very gentlemanly manner.

This is quite polite for a little one.

However, Ling Yi did not feel any real awe from the other party.

The Pet Card and Team-Up Card were both given to him by Megatron, so this Mockingbird truly revered Megatron.

For Ling Yi, perhaps it's more about curiosity.

After all, the title of Heavenly Venerable is not something just anyone can use. In their Transformers concept, Heavenly Venerable means Father God, the Creator.

" Soundwave?" Ling Yi recalled the image of Soundwave in his mind.

What impressed me most was the Soundwave from the Transformers cartoon when I was a child, because the Soundwave spoke in a very special way, just like singing.

As for the Soundwave in the film, they weren't particularly outstanding.

" Heavenly Venerable, Megatron has united all his fellow Autobots on this planet, including Optimus Prime and his Autobots. Megatron, the leader, desires your guidance for the next step."

"Furthermore, Megatron learned from the former leader, the Fallen, that there are energy pillars within a Teleport Matrix on the moon. He has already gone to the moon and is therefore unable to come to see you in person. We hope you can understand."

" The Fallen?"

This is a veteran and powerful Transformers leader who not only possesses the ability to Teleportation short distances but also a powerful magnetic field.

In the original storyline, he was a very powerful villain.

"Go back and tell Megatron to prepare for his journey to Mars."

"Yes, Your Heavenly Venerable."

After a pause, the Mockingbird continued, "Your Heavenly Venerable, Megatron leader, requests that you provide him with some more God Cards."

Ling Yi thought to himself, "Isn't this the main reason Megatron sent this Mockingbird?"

But, have all the Team-Up Card and Pet Card been used up? That's way too fast!

Ling Yi looked at his system interface; his Diligence Points had only increased by 30 million, now reaching over 50 million.

In other words, very few Team-Up Card were used.

I guess only the Pet Card have run out.

Clearly, Megatron was well aware of the power of the Team-Up Card Team-Up Card and didn't want to use it on other Transformers indiscriminately, but how could he allow that?

Each Team-Up Card represents a large amount of Diligence Points, so there's no need to farm them for Diligence Points.

How many Transformers are there in the entire universe today?

The Mockingbird hadn't expected Ling Yi to ask such a question, but it still respectfully replied, "I'm sorry, I can't give an exact number."

"Back then, when our home Matrix Cybertron was destroyed in the war, hundreds of thousands of our compatriots must have left their home and are now wandering the universe."

"However, due to the lack of Energy Converter, their strength is greatly reduced, and most of their compatriots will likely find it difficult to survive in the universe."

Ling Yi nodded.

Silicon-based life forms actually have very stringent energy requirements.

The Energy Converter in the beak of the Mockingbird is the same Matrix device buried in the pyramid that can absorb stellar energy.

This Matrix device can convert stellar energy into pure energy cubes that can be used by Transformers.

Only these energy cubes can allow Transformers to unleash their full Combat.

In addition to this, other forms of energy can also be used by modifying one's own Matrix module.

For example, gasoline and diesel, but these would significantly reduce the Transformers ' Combat, since the energy levels are different.

Moreover, the energy conversion efficiency is also greatly reduced.

In reality, due to energy limitations, the Transformers on Blue Star couldn't even unleash one percent of their Combat.

This demonstrates just how important that energy conversion device is to the Transformers.

Megatron must already know about this energy conversion device, after all, the Fallen has already appeared.

The Fallen was aware of the existence of this energy conversion device.

"Even if some survive, their numbers are probably not many. If ten thousand survive, that would be extremely Luck," the Mockingbird added.

Only ten thousand? This was truly beyond Ling Yi's expectations.

"Are there other Wisdom races in the universe?" Ling Yi asked again.

The Mockingbird shook its head. "There are many life forms in the universe, but truly Wisdom races, or those that have given rise to civilization, are extremely rare."

"Most civilizations, not even humans, are inferior. If the Matrix of Planet Cybertron still existed, we Decepticons would probably have ruled this universe long ago."

As expected of a villain, always talking about ruling the universe.

I just didn't expect there to be so few civilized races in the universe. If what the Mockingbird said is true, then Cybertron might indeed be able to rule the universe.

Shaking his head, Ling Yi took out a dozen cards: two thousand Team-Up Card and one thousand Pet Card.

There are still quite a few Team-Up Card left, but only the last thousand Pet Card.

However, Ling Yi doesn't lack Diligence Points now; he can just try his luck with the Lottery later.

"Tell Megatron not to be stingy with Team-Up Card. If you can give them away, you can take them back," Ling Yi instructed the Mockingbird.

"Yes, Heavenly Venerable." The Mockingbird curiously took the card, and after Perception the information on it, its face was filled with shock.

As expected of the Heavenly Venerable, he was able to create such a wondrous thing.

The Mockingbird's body shuddered and Shapeshifting with a series of cracking sounds, this time transforming into a small helicopter.

That way, all the cards could be put into the helicopter cockpit.

Then, the helicopter's rotors began to spin, accompanied by a slight hum, and it flew off the balcony.

"That's amazing!" Meng Yanyi she watched the Mockingbird fly away.

Meng Yanyi's envy wasn't because she envied the Mockingbird's ability to Shapeshifting, but because she wanted to own such a large toy.

"It's amazing, but the Miejue of the Transformers was inevitable," Ling Yi said, shaking his head.

Meng Yanyi asked, puzzled, "Why is that?"

"Silicon-based life forms consume far more resources than you can imagine. In the movies, Transformers are Haki and Li Qiang, but one issue is overlooked."

What's the problem?

"What do Transformers eat?" Ling Yi asked.

"Probably gasoline?" Meng Yanyi and replied.

"They do live on Blue Star and consume gasoline. Do you know how much gasoline Transformers needs in a day?"

Meng Yanyi shook her head again.

Ling Yi tapped her nose and said, "You know, you need to put what you learn into practice. There's relevant content in Matrix knowledge."

"Hehe, I'm too lazy to rack my brains. Matrix knowledge is too complex. Every time I need to access Matrix knowledge, I have to expend a lot of mental energy, and that feeling is not good at all." Meng Yanyi shook her head.

That's true.

Due to limitations in energy supply and other factors, the human brain's computational efficiency has an upper limit.

Even though Ling Yi and the others are no ordinary people now, it still takes a considerable amount of mental effort for them to instantly access Matrix knowledge.

It's like you've learned addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and you've learned geometry and calculus, but do you actually use them in your daily life?

Knowing how to do something and not knowing how to use it are two different things.

Even if you use it, you can't use it forever.

Take a test paper for example. Even if you know how to do all the questions, after you finish it, aren't you tired? Doesn't your head feel like it's going to explode?

If a single exam paper is this complex, imagine the sheer volume of knowledge involved in analyzing the Matrix of the six fundamental forces of the universe—it would be far more terrifying.

Meng Yanyi must be bored out of her mind to keep drawing on the Matrix knowledge in her head.

Another point is that Meng Yanyi is different from Ling Yi. Once she learns a skill, she's done with it and doesn't really delve into it further.

Ling Yi, however, has been trying to fully integrate the Fusion skills.

For example, knowing the six fundamental forces in Matrix theory doesn't necessarily mean you can apply them.

This requires a massive amount of energy to be mobilized.

However, within a single gene unit lies a vast amount of energy that exists independently of a single dimension.

If Ling Yi could combine the two, he would be able to easily control the six basic forces.

Alternatively, by using the power of Breathing Technique, one can inscribe Matrix in mid-air, or even create magical artifacts like the AllSpark out of thin air.

Of course, this is just theory; Ling Yi still needs to explore and experiment to achieve it.

"Like Transformers like Optimus Prime with Matrix of Leadership, if it enters Combat mode, the energy it consumes in one hour is roughly equivalent to ten tons of gasoline."

"Huh? Can you even finish drinking it all?" Meng Yanyi, somewhat skeptical.

"Are you stupid? I just said it's equivalent to the energy produced by ten tons of gasoline, and besides, they don't consume much energy under normal circumstances."

"However, in normal, non- Combat situations, gasoline is constantly consumed to convert it into a storable, highly efficient pure energy state. This energy is only used during Combat."

"Eating 100 tons of oil in ten days would only be enough for ten hours of Combat."

"These Transformers consume way too much energy!" Meng Yanyi exclaimed.

Ling Yi nodded. "If there were 10,000 Transformers in a battle, the oil consumed in one hour would be 100,000 tons."

"On Cybertron Planet, the Decepticon faction and Autobots have Combat for over 100,000 years. I estimate that it would take the energy of at least 180 stars to sustain this Combat."

"My God, you mean that the Transformers' Civil War destroyed a hundred or two hundred Solar System?" Meng Yanyi was truly shocked.

"Yes, your understanding is not wrong, but the actual situation may be even worse than that."

"If Cybertron truly conquers the universe, given the Transformers ' energy consumption rate, it would likely be a catastrophe for the entire cosmos."
