These creatures … … were creating their own environment. (). (w). (x). (x). ()
She had been observing the 'golden slime' for 10 years now.
The golden slime's body did not change, it still had a diameter of 20 metres. However, many things on its body had changed … …
First of all, from the outside, its surface had been covered by a thick fog, making it impossible to see what was inside.
The thick fog was released by the spheres that the insects had 'planted' in the small hill.
The spheres had been floating around the golden slime, releasing the fog to cover the entire surface of the golden slime.
They had been doing this for a very long time … … there were no new changes.
The ones that had changed the most were the insects … …
As long as one got close to them, they would be able to see through the thick fog. Inside … … the scenery was completely different.
The originally golden surface was now covered by a large number of small brown spikes. These small spikes were like grass that covered the entire body of the golden slime.
Within this' grass', there were many lakes of different sizes. Many creatures could be seen gathering around the lakes. They were of different species. Some were like insects, some were like the commonly seen vertebrate creatures, and some were like stones. There was a great variety of them.
These creatures were only a few millimetres in size. This environment was very large for them. The spikes of the Spiky Grassland were soft, so they would not hurt them. Watching them move about, Lin felt that this was a miniature environment.
The first insects could no longer be seen. This place was filled with all kinds of creatures. And they were living here. Their main source of food came from a type of 'tree' that grew on this Spiky Grassland.
These trees were 30 centimetres tall. They had a vertical 'tree trunk' and a huge umbrella-shaped top. They covered the entire body of the golden slime with a diameter of 20 metres. Lumps would form under the fan-shaped top from time to time. These were the things that the creatures here mainly ate.
Thus, Lin called these things' umbrella trees'.
This kind of life lasted for several years, as if there were no new changes all this time. The creatures inside had always stayed there and would not go out into the wasteland. That was until Lin wanted to increase her speed to see what would happen next … … Lin suddenly discovered something strange.
She discovered another golden slime.
This golden slime came from the wasteland in the north. It moved at an extremely slow speed, moving about 1 metre per year.
However, it was slowly approaching the golden slime that Lin had been observing all this time.
The interior of this new slime was exactly the same as this one. Lin increased her speed of observation and watched as it approached bit by bit.. Then … … the two slimes fused together.
When they came into contact, the golden outer shell began to melt. . and slowly fused together. Just like that. They had become an even bigger slime!
After the fusion, the entire Slime had a diameter of 50 meters, and the creatures on its body began to change.
These creatures began to grow in size and variety. Lin discovered that they could all reproduce with each other, and the offspring they gave birth to might even have a completely new appearance.
They continued to increase their species, and the species of spikes on them also increased. At first, there were only spikes that looked like grass, and then there were even larger creatures with spikes all over their bodies.
These should be considered plants.
The creatures here were no longer completely dependent on the umbrella trees. Some of them started to eat thorny plants, and some started to hunt other creatures.
Lin felt that she had more or less understood them now.
These golden slimes were clearly creating an environment. While the Spiky Grassland creatures on them were constantly changing, they were also constantly changing.
Lin discovered that more and more golden slimes were crawling over from afar. They were all fusing together, growing larger and larger. They had a large number of Spiky Grassland creatures on them, so they were all mixed together. Some Spiky Grassland creatures disappeared, while others flourished.
It felt as if the continents were merging, a miniature continent.
Lin felt that there were originally a lot of slimes in this place. Perhaps they all fell from a certain place and grew here for a period of time, then fused together.
Now, this golden slime had a diameter of 300 metres. It was densely packed with Spiky Grassland creatures. These Spiky Grassland creatures lived under the fog created by the sphere, never leaving.
The slime, on the other hand, was beginning to change.
Lin discovered that the slime no longer needed to fuse. It would slowly grow on its own.
Lin saw that its bottom was no longer solid. It had turned into its previous soft form, and it was even corroding the rocky ground below it.
It would decompose the rocky ground and then devour it. Its back would remain solid, allowing the Spiky Grassland creatures to continue living.
As it continued to devour the ground, its body grew larger and larger … Lin sped up the process. She watched as it slowly grew larger, and the Spiky Grassland creatures on it also grew larger and larger.
Until several hundred years later …
This slime had spread to a considerable extent. It had completely enveloped … the Rollers it resided in.
Now, as the slime grew larger and could move around, Lin finally saw the true appearance of this wasteland. It turned out that this was a small meteorite with a diameter of more than 10 kilometres.
Just like the large rocks commonly seen in meteorite areas, it was also floating in the void. Now, it was completely occupied by the Spiky Grassland.
The Spiky Grassland creatures that once lived on the Spiky Grassland had also spread out. This small world had become a world filled with Spiky Grassland creatures and thick fog …
Although the surface was occupied and no changes could be seen, Lin felt that the Spiky Grassland was still devouring the meteorite. It might even devour the entire place.
This creature should have grown in this way. From its initial Spiky Grassland form, until it slowly decomposed the meteorite. It should have replaced the meteorite itself. However, she couldn't see the details of the changes, and she didn't know what kind of creature was living on its body.
After this, Lin sped up the process by several hundred years …
It was still as large as before, but the starry sky around it had changed greatly. At the same time, this world no longer had daytime. It had entered complete darkness.
