"If these creatures have a wish, that would be it."
"They have this and that... That's why they created these things..."
...
"Rumble..."
The rumbling sound echoed in Lin's mind.
This was a continent in the Brain Soul Core. It could be called... the second layer, which was quite close to the center.
Lin felt that the continent here was not actually land because it was cracked, just like the rocks in the meteorite circle.
These rocks gathered together to form a shape similar to other continents, but they were not connected. Lin also found that they often collided.
That was why Lin could simulate the rumbling sound when they collided.
"Boom!" Above the observation stone, two stones with a diameter of tens of meters collided with each other. Countless fragments scattered like raindrops towards the observation stone.
There was no gravity here, and as the rocks collided, a lot of debris would be produced. However, Lin found that there was such a creature here.
Lin could call it... "Stone Bag".
Their bodies were like bags, with a layer of seemingly tough skin. The inside was hollow, and there was a very large opening.
They relied on a kind of ejection ability to wander in the void, using their mouths to swallow the surrounding debris. Their bodies would also expand due to the increase of rocks, just like a bag full of things.
These bags were usually about three meters long. When they were filled with rocks, they would double in size and then... They would return to the boulders that scattered debris. Those boulders usually had many holes in them. These "Stone Bags" would spit rocks into the holes and then continue to fly out to collect the debris.
Lin felt that they were all creatures.
Whether it was the boulders or the Stone Bags, the Stone Bags could be said to be the boulders' appendages, helping them collect the debris that fell from their bodies during battle.
The boulders seemed to occasionally reward them with food. Lin saw a Stone Bag spit rocks into the hole. A ball-shaped object floated out of the hole, and the Stone Bag immediately swallowed it.
They should have a symbiotic relationship, but the Stone Bags attached to different boulders would fight with each other and compete for the nearby rocks. Lin felt that they were quite "loyal" to their boulders.
From what Lin could see, the purpose of the boulders' lives was probably to completely crush another of their kind, and then let the stone collection bag collect all the debris that fell from the boulders onto themselves.
If this continued, and a winner emerged from the collision of boulders, it would be as big as a continent.
The reason why Lin could see them clearly was because the boulders were glowing. Some of the boulders were surrounded by what seemed to be lightning-like energy, although it did not seem to have any special use. However, it illuminated the surroundings.
"Boom!" Suddenly, Lin heard a sound coming from behind her. One of the boulders had shattered under the combined attack of two other boulders. It was completely reduced to rubble, and the stone pouches that were collecting the rubble immediately joined the collection of other boulders around it, instantly 'betraying' the shattered boulder.
Lin felt that if this continued, the result would be out soon, but the battle seemed to have gone on for a very long time...
This place, which Lin called the Shattered Continent, was basically an "ecosystem" formed by the collision of boulders and the Stone Bags.
Although they were very strange, Lin still did not know what they meant to the Brain Spirits...
"Boom!!!"
Another sound, but this time, it was different...
It was an explosion. In the Observation Stone's field of vision, there was an extremely bright light, and the light of this explosion looked very much like the explosion caused by the Brain Spirits' balls of light.
However, this one was more dazzling. Countless debris flew everywhere with the explosion, and Lin also saw the culprit behind this explosion.
It seemed to be caused by a boulder.
The Observation Stone saw that in the distance, tens of meters away, there was a boulder about ten meters in diameter floating, but this boulder... seemed to be able to use the Brain Spirits' balls of light.
There were many holes on its surface, and in one of the holes, there was a shining light...
"Boom!" A ball of light suddenly shot out and hit another boulder. The boulder was immediately blasted apart by the explosion.
It turned out that there were some among them that could use this kind of attack, but Lin found that most of the boulders were used for collision, and only a few of them could shoot light attacks.
Although she had not seen the Brain Spirits yet, at least she had seen something related to them. Perhaps she could continue to see something special if she stayed here.
And so, Lin let an Observation Stone observe these boulders...
Lin found that they were mostly small boulders, and only about ten meters in diameter would shoot out balls of light. They also had a group of Stone Bags for them to collect rubble, and when the Stone Bags kept collecting them, they would slowly grow, and once they grew too large, they would no longer shoot out balls of light, and would only collide.
This was a very strange feeling. Perhaps as they grew, the structure in their bodies that could shoot out balls of light slowly... disappeared?
Why did it have this function?
These smaller boulders would always use balls of light to attack the larger boulders, and this might be the reason why there was never a victor among them.
Lin just watched them fight, and because the Observation Stone was hidden, there were no Stone Bags to collect the Observation Stones.
Lin wanted to see how they used the balls of light to attack, but for now, it was best not to act rashly.
Lin's actions here had not been noticed by any creature, and if she was noticed by any creature here, it would be the same as being noticed by the Brain Spirits.
That being said... Lin had not seen any machines with Brain Spirits here yet, but she still had to be careful.
While she was observing here, there was another Observation Stone, and it was flying towards the deepest part... which was the direction of the first layer.
The continent of the first layer did not seem to be anything special, and compared to the various other continents, it felt... very simple.
The Observation Stone landed on the ground, and could feel a weak gravitational force here, as well as the coldness of the Void.
This was a vast wasteland, without any light, and covered in darkness, it felt like the surface of a normal Tumbler.
This seemed to be the most 'normal' place, because it was a place with nothing, which was the only way to fit the environment of the Void.
Even so, the Observation Stone had to observe here. With that in mind, Lin let the Observation Stone run across this dark and cold wasteland.
Although it was called a wasteland, it was not a plain. There were a lot of broken stones, and it felt like some of the broken stones from the second layer of the continent had flown here.
So, this place was more like a place full of broken stones, but these stones would not come to life without a Stone Bag to collect them...
'Whoosh...'
Suddenly, the Observation Stone's' Light Ear 'heard something.
The sound was like a gust of wind, because a ball of light appeared next to the stone in the distance, but it only appeared for a second and then disappeared.
It seemed that the continent of the first layer was not a pure wasteland... there were still some strange things.
Thinking, Lin let the Observation Stone go forward, and soon, it saw the same ball of light again.
It flashed about ten meters away from the Observation Stone, then disappeared again. This time, Lin looked carefully and found that this light...
Was very similar to the Brain Spirits in the dream.
'Whoosh...' Suddenly, flashes of light appeared behind the Observation Stone again, and these flashes seemed to appear randomly, and from Lin's observation, she found that they seemed to be...
Some kind of movement.
These flashes of light would float in a direction the moment they appeared, and after observing many flashes of light, Lin felt that this place was somewhat like a city of Brain Spirits.
These flashes of light were Brain Spirits that lived in the city, and their movement pattern was very similar to the Brain Spirits in the dream.
But why are they flashing here? Moreover, Brain Spirits should not be able to directly appear in 'reality'.
Lin continued to let the Observation Stone go forward, and it seemed that running deeper into the continent would lead to more flashes of light. They never passed through or bumped into anything, and Lin felt that this phenomenon was very strange, so... Lin thought of something.
Perhaps this place... was used to do that thing.
'Whoosh...'
Suddenly, Lin saw a huge ball of light appear in front of her. This was... the core creature of the dream?
This creature was exactly the same as the huge balls of light that swept the Land of Fear in the dream, and they... could actually appear here.
And the time it appeared was longer than the other balls of light, lasting about ten seconds.
The other balls of light also lasted longer here, from one second to three seconds. It seemed that the deeper she went, the longer these balls of light would last...
Moreover, many of them would appear at the same time.
Judging from their actions, they were clearly Brain Spirits that lived in the Dream World. It was just that their 'figures' would occasionally be 'projected' here and temporarily displayed.
Why was this?
In fact, a long time ago, Lin had discussed this with the creator. Brain Spirits had always been invading the surrounding world, and they had many goals, but there was one special goal, which could also be said to be the Brain Spirits' 'biggest goal'.
So that was it. In that case... what she saw here might be the foundation for them to achieve this' biggest goal '. Floating Astronomy.
