'Original inhabitants'. 【
The core creatures were the original inhabitants of the Dream World. They did not know when they had appeared here.
However, the moment they appeared, they had already discovered that … they were not free creatures.
A strange sense of mission was lingering in their minds, telling them what to do and what their lives were for.
Eating, resting, being born, dying … these common creatures had nothing to do with them. They did not even know that there was such a thing as eating.
They had never lacked the strength to move, so they never tired and never rested to carry out their mission.
That was … to guard the core of the Dream World and prevent any intruders from approaching it.
Intruders, what were they?
They had such doubts. Yes, they had never seen an intruder before. If it was not for the 'mission' in their minds telling them that there was such a thing, they would not have known that there was such a thing in the world.
Thus, they waited, waiting … for the intruder that they did not quite believe would appear.
Countless years passed slowly. There was no death, no aging, only an eternal wait.
They also did not know how to reproduce, and their numbers were forever fixed. In fact, they did not know about almost everything outside of guarding.
Of course, there was one thing they were good at, and that was … fighting.
They knew how to use 'power' to destroy intruders. Of course, they had to discover the intruders in advance. And for so long. None of them had ever seen anything called an intruder.
Although they knew that the Dream World was vast. They had never left the core to explore. They were only loyal to their mission, until … they did not know when.
In this long period of time, they called themselves the 'Core Protectors'. They did not know the meaning of their protection, nor did they think about this problem. They were only waiting.
However, their wait was not endless. A strange life form suddenly appeared in front of their 'eyes'.
These life forms. They called themselves' Brain Spirits'. The appearance of the Brain Spirits surprised the group of 'Core Protectors'.
But what surprised them even more was that they only realized that they had the emotion of surprise after such a long time.
Next, it was time to fight.
The Brain Spirits were also surprised by the Core Protectors, so they decided to kill all the Core Protectors. They attacked the Core Protectors with all their might …
Then, they were completely destroyed.
The Brain Spirits had never faced such a creature before. Their previous targets had all been creatures with brains. For creatures with brains that could not be harmed, the Brain Spirit's constant whispers in their minds could easily drive them to madness. But the Core Protector was different.
They were creatures similar to brain spirits, creatures of energy.
The composition of both sides was very similar, so the Core Protector could see the Brain Spirit and could also attack it.
The Core Protectors had terrifying power in this dream, and they understood the rules of the dream. Brain Spirits, on the other hand, could not bring machines or weapons into the dream.
The difference between Brain Spirits and Core Protectors? It was like Mao Yu and the Hero. No matter how hard Mao Yu tried, she couldn't affect the Hero.
Of course, if this was the real world, the Brave Warrior would slowly tire out from the endless attacks of countless Brain Spirits. However, this was a dream. No matter how many Brain Spirits there were, they could not tire the Guardian Warrior out.
Their battle energy was limitless.
The Brain Spirits quickly realized that they could not win against such creatures unless they became stronger.
In reality, however, brain spirits were creatures that had no fate with evolution. They had no way to strengthen themselves, and the only 'method' they had to strengthen themselves was to borrow external forces to create machines that could be controlled. They themselves, on the other hand, were a cluster of energy that would never change.
Although the Brain Spirits could create subspecies that were lower in level than themselves, they could not create a form that was higher in level than themselves.
Unless they attacked from the outside, they might be able to destroy the Core Protectors.
The Core Protectors only guarded in the dream. They could not be seen in the real world, so the Brain Spirits could destroy the Core Protectors from the outside.
However, this might mean destroying the dream world. The Brain Spirits did not want to give up this world. This world was not only a 'bridge' to the void that was almost impossible to travel with speed, but it could also become their home.
Thus, they thought of an idea that they had never thought of since the beginning of their lives: compromise.
This was perhaps the only time in their lives that the Brain Spirits had compromised with another creature. They suggested to the Core Protectors to stop fighting.
However, the Core Protectors were not willing. If the Eternal Mission could be stopped so easily, they would not have guarded this place for so long.
However, during the process of 'negotiation', the Brain Spirits accidentally mentioned the outside world, which was … the real world.
Unexpectedly, the Brain Spirits discovered that the Core Protectors were very interested in the real world. In fact, the Core Protectors rarely had any emotional fluctuations during their previous battles.
But this time was different. Thus, the Brain Spirits took this opportunity to introduce the real world to them.
The Core Protectors were also interested in the real world. They had never heard of such a world. They were very curious about everything there. Perhaps, to them, the real world was as magical as the dream world.
After this, the Brain Spirits and the Core Protectors came to an agreement. It was a special agreement.
In fact, the Core Protectors did not compromise. They still did not allow the Brain Spirits to enter their core. However, they promised to let the Brain Spirits live in the dream world. They would not leave the core to attack the Brain Spirits.
Previously, they would leave the core to hunt down the Brain Spirits. The Core Protectors had originally decided to kill all the Brain Spirits in the dream world.
At the same time, they were willing to share some knowledge with the Brain Spirits, telling them how to control certain things in the dream world.
The Brain Spirits, on the other hand, had to continuously provide them with information about the real world, telling them all sorts of things in the real world.
The Brain Spirits suggested to the Core Protectors to let them enter the machine they created to observe the real world. However, the Core Protectors refused. Because of their 'mission', they could not leave the dream world. At most, they could only leave the core to hunt down intruders.
However, their mission was to prevent intruders from entering the core. Thus, the Brain Spirits had no problem living in the dream world.
However, in reality, this was just a trap.
If the Core Protectors entered the machine controlled by the Brain Spirits, it would be very easy for the Brain Spirits to destroy the machine.
The Core Protectors were not considered 'smart', so they did not notice this. However, because of their 'stubbornness', the Brain Spirits' plan … did not succeed.
After this, the deal between the two was established.
The Brain Spirits and the Core Protectors maintained contact. The Brain Spirits kept telling the Core Protectors about various situations in the real world, and with the Core Protectors' knowledge and guidance, the Brain Spirits quickly developed their dream city.
The Core Protectors' 'interests' also became more and more extensive. Later on, they were not only satisfied with the stories the Brain Spirits told them, but also wanted to see the various creatures outside.
For this, the Brain Spirits built a huge building for them. It was a simple but inescapable prison system, imprisoning the various creatures that the Brain Spirits had invaded.
Almost every world that the Brain Spirits had invaded, the Brain Spirits would choose one creature from every species and imprison them there. Every creature, including the Creator, was inside. This prison was perhaps the place where the most Void creatures gathered.
The Core Protectors were very satisfied with this. They liked to observe the creatures inside …
However, the Core Protectors' passion for other things was not as eternal as it was for the Core Protectors. They slowly became 'bored', and soon stopped paying attention to the creatures in the prison.
However, the prison was kept. That was because the Brain Spirits were also interested in prisons. At the same time, it was also used as a place for various biological experiments.
Next, what the Core Protectors were interested in was … matters regarding creatures with personalities.
The Brain Spirits had told them many 'stories' before, and these stories would occasionally include situations regarding creatures with personalities.
The Core Protectors were very interested in these situations, especially the 'scheming' between creatures with personalities. They were very curious as to why creatures with personalities would have so many different emotions. That was because there were so many types of emotions, and when these emotions were combined together, countless stories could be derived.
Under the Core Protectors' request, the Brain Spirits' attacks on other creatures with personalities became more frequent. It was also one of the reasons why they attacked other worlds … Living in the minds of creatures with personalities, they could 'hear' all sorts of stories.
Why did the Brain Spirits have to invade to give the Core Protectors stories? That was because the Core Protectors could sense the Brain Spirits' emotions. They would know if the Brain Spirits were telling the truth or making up stories.
The Core Protectors rejected all fabricated stories. They wanted things to be absolutely true.
Therefore, the Brain Spirits had to invade other creatures with personalities to obtain the various stories between them.
In fact, after that, the Brain Spirits' invasion of creatures with personalities took longer. They would mix into groups of creatures with personalities, causing all sorts of effects on them, causing their worlds to continue to collapse in their own hands.
The flames of war were everywhere. Skyscrapers collapsed. Countless civilians cried and wailed. A rain of missiles rained down on the world …
This was originally the end of the Voids. And all of this was guided by the Brain Spirits.
Of course, at the same time, there was also the competitive nature of creatures with personalities.
Even after the destruction of the wasteland, there would still be countless stories. Therefore, creatures with personalities were a very good target.
The Core Protectors' interest in these stories lasted for a very long time … until it drifted to astronomy.
