Was this another dream …?
In front of Lin was a vast wasteland. There was nothing here, and she couldn't feel anything at all. [23[w]x
This seemed to be different from the ones she saw before.
Just now, Lin had used her newly created brain to release a strong signal to the 'immune system receiver' underground. Although it affected the receiver quite a bit, and the underground was also shaking, nothing else happened even after a while.
And so, Lin let the brain that touched the receiver enter a 'dream connection' state to see if she could find anything.
And now, the world in front of Lin's eyes after connecting to the dream seemed to be a very different place …
Earlier, Lin saw the history of this world and the creature on it – Atlan, but now she saw a wasteland.
Why a wasteland?
And there was no air here. If she looked up, she could see a sky full of stars.
It felt like a world without air, but there was no cold here either. Perhaps there was no 'content' in this dream, only the scenery.
What kind of scenery was this?
She couldn't find the answer right now, but … Lin felt that something must have changed here, just like when she saw the history of Atlan.
In fact, it was a record of the creature's body changes, but when she saw the record, it was already an 'adult'. Perhaps this was a record of when it was still a 'cub'.
Boom ….
Just as Lin was thinking that, a strange change occurred in the sky. From among the stars. A glowing object fell from the sky. With a loud crash, it hit the ground.
Although there was no air here. But there was a loud noise.
Lin noticed that the object that hit the ground was a … ball-shaped object.
The surface of the object was full of cracks, as if it was caused by the impact, but the hole it made wasn't big. Lin thought that the place where it fell wasn't very high.
But now, more and more cracks had appeared on its surface. As the number of cracks increased, its outer shell exploded with a bang. A soft object crawled out from it.
It looked like a slime. Its entire body was icy blue, and its diameter was about three meters. It wriggled on the ground like a puddle of mud, slowly crawling out of the hole it fell from ….
Lin followed suit. She noticed that she had the appearance of a pompom brain, which was the brain that Lin used to connect to this place, but this slime-like creature didn't notice Lin at all.
Lin felt that this wasn't a dream, but rather a record of historical events. Therefore, the things inside do not react to the observer.
Well then, let's slowly observe now …
… Seems like it. It was indeed very slow.
Several days had passed, but the creature was still slowly moving. Lin discovered that this barren world also had day and night, but the time of day and night was probably several times longer than that of a pompom.
There was a very slow change between day and night, so Lin used pom-poms to calculate the changes here.
The creature kept crawling as if it would not get tired. It crawled for a few days and nights. Although it did not seem to have changed much, if one looked closely, they would notice subtle changes.
When he got closer, he could see that there were some small sharp protrusions on the surface of the 'slime'. They weren't there before, and the size of the slime was also a little bigger.
However, the change was still too slow. Lin wanted to see if there was a way to change the observation time like the previous record.
… Just like that, a few more days and nights passed.
Lin found a way to adjust the progress of this record. It seemed simple, but this record was different from the previous one.
Previously, when there was a record of Atlan's history, the world would change to whatever time point she wanted to see. It seemed that she couldn't jump too far, and could only adjust the speed of the changes.
But that didn't matter, as Lin could see more changes clearly …
After so much time, the slime stopped crawling, because it had reached a certain place – a pool.
Although it was unknown whether this was a pool of 'water' or some other liquid, it was quite transparent. It was about twice the size of the slime, and the slime quickly moved to the center and stopped moving.
Then, Lin adjusted the progress again …
Amidst the rapid changes, the slime slowly expanded. Its body expanded to the size of the entire pool in just one day and night, almost covering the entire pool.
At the same time, more spikes grew out of its body. These spikes looked a little like … the spikes of plants.
After staying in the pool for a while, it left the dried-up pool and crawled in another direction.
Lin followed it while adjusting the progress according to the situation.
While observing, Lin discovered many things. This was indeed a dream that recorded the slime's growth process. Because Lin's furball brain was unable to move beyond a radius of 100 meters from the slime, Lin was unable to look at other places in this wasteland.
Only by moving with the slime could she go to other places to observe.
This slime … was continuously growing. It would absorb all the liquid it came across. In the span of several dozen days and nights, Lin had seen it come across several puddles. Every time it came into a puddle, it would stay there until all the water in the puddles had been sucked dry.
Its body would also expand to the size of the puddle.
At the same time, it would also absorb solid substances. As it crawled, it would leave a considerable number of cracks on the ground.
Through her observations, Lin found that the ground was not purely hard like rocks. There were also some softer components. After crawling over it, the slime would absorb those components.
This caused the slime's body to continuously expand. Lin felt that it would continue to expand until a certain point …
Lin found that its expansion had stopped.
After hundreds of furball days and nights, the slime had expanded to a diameter of nearly 20 meters. However, its thickness was only about one meter.
Lin suddenly found that it was no longer moving around to look for things to absorb. Instead, it had stopped moving.
Its originally soft body began to slowly harden. At the same time, the spikes on its body also began to change. Lin felt that it might be transforming something inside its body. Unfortunately, she was unable to carefully observe its internal environment.
After it had completely hardened, its body had turned golden. Under the light of the day, it was very dazzling.
However, the spikes on its body were more like the brown color of trees.
After it had completely hardened, Lin found that the creature did not change at all. It continued to maintain its shape until Lin adjusted the progress to three years of furball time …
The hardened object finally began to change. However, it was not a change of its own …
The tips of the tree colored spikes on its body opened up small holes. Lin found that some strange small creatures drilled out of the holes.
These small creatures looked like insects. They had six limbs, a body length of only a few millimeters, and an olive-shaped body. Although they were very small, there were many of them.
A large number of them drilled out from the tips of the spikes and gathered on the golden 'ground' below.
They … began to do something strange. These insects began to dig at the golden shell. They dug out a large amount of golden powder and then piled the powder into small mounds.
For several days and nights, these insects had been doing this. They mainly dug at the center of the hardened golden slime and then piled the powder they dug out into mounds.
After ten days and nights, they had piled up a large number of mounds. The height of each mound was almost the same, about one centimeter. There were hundreds of them. Lin then noticed that these insects began to bury something in the mounds.
They took some small particles and stuffed them into the mounds. Almost every mound was stuffed with these particles.
Because she could not observe in detail, she did not know what they were burying.
However, Lin felt that they might be burying seeds or something similar.
At the same time, these insects began to dig at the center of the golden slime on a large scale. They gathered in large numbers and dug out a hole with a diameter of thirty centimeters.
Although they were digging at the golden slime, the slime did not react at all.
However, it was no longer a slime. It was just a hardened golden object.
Just like that, dozens of days and nights passed …
Lin found that the large hole they dug was slowly filling with water, or perhaps some kind of liquid that was water.
These insects also gathered in large numbers by the water. They gathered there to drink water and eat the golden powder they dug out.
However, Lin did not see them reproduce. They began to drill out of the spikes in large numbers. After a certain point, they stopped increasing.
Usually, other than eating and drinking, they would rest. At the same time, they never left the golden object in the wasteland outside. They also stopped digging because the process was too slow. Lin sped up …
After dozens of days and nights, there were finally some changes to the mounds.
Sure enough, as Lin thought, things began to grow on the surface of the mounds.
What grew was not a plant, but a kind of … spherical object.
These spherical objects were about five millimeters in diameter. They slowly pushed the surface of the mounds and then slowly floated into the air.
At the same time these strange spherical objects appeared, from the small holes at the tip of the spikes, something else drilled out. This time, it was another kind of creature. Together with the insects, they further spread on the surface of the golden slime. Floating astronomy.
