It's like …
'Soul'?
On the dimly lit street, Lin looked at the shadows wandering on the street. She felt that even without studying them, she could understand the situation here.
Every shadow here represented a real creature … for example, a rugby ball.
However, they were not the dream form of real creatures, but a kind of energy creature that lived in symbiosis with real creatures.
These creatures made up for the 'missing part' of the rugby ball's brain, so that even if the rugby ball's brain was missing, it could still move and have high intelligence.
But when these energy creatures left them, Lin felt that perhaps their brains would temporarily enter a state similar to a deep sleep … a state of suspended animation.
Then after thousands of seconds, they would wake up again, but they would become the rugby ball that could only crawl on the ground.
At this time, their brain could no longer control their entire body, and they did not have much intelligence, but they could still complete the last action.
This feeling was very similar to the soul that Lin had heard of in the legends of the Emerald Dragons.
Every creature had a soul, and these shadows were the 'soul' of the rugby ball. They were responsible for commanding the rugby ball's body. They may be able to send out some information, which could be received by the rugby ball's cells in the real world.
And they may have evolved together for a long time. Because there was a 'soul' to help command, the rugby ball's brain was not developed, and they did not need to evolve a big brain.
Because the brain would consume more energy, and usually, the brain was the most energy-consuming organ in the body. Since this small brain could command the body and even have intelligence … Then why did it need a bigger brain?
But. The rugby ball's brain still had some basic functions. In fact, it looked incomplete, but it was not really incomplete.
After the 'soul' left the body, the brain could still ensure the rugby ball's last and most important thing in life … reproduction.
And these 'souls' in the dream, which were the shadow energy creatures that lived in symbiosis with the rugby ball, how did they obtain energy? How did they reproduce?
However, Lin felt that it should consume less energy than the rugby ball evolving into a complete brain, so the rugby ball chose to live in this symbiotic way.
This was indeed very similar to the soul that the Skeletal Dragons often talked about, and the Voidfolk had similar legends. These creatures always hoped that … death was not real death, and there was a soul of their own in another world.
Unlike the Emerald Dragons, the Voidfolk had long denied this theory. They had taken out all kinds of evidence to prove that there was no such thing as a soul.
But because of the brain spirit's attack, many Voidfolk began to doubt these past 'proofs'.
And now, Lin finally encountered a similar situation. However, the situation here was also very different from the legends. Just like how rugby players didn't need to have a big brain, the other creatures that lived with rugby players should be in a similar situation.
Lin also wanted to know one more thing. Since rugby couldn't leave the shadow, Would the shadow be able to leave rugby?
In order to confirm this, Lin ordered the Rock Spiders that came into contact with the statue to leave the town. He ran towards the rugby town that had been massacred.
The Rock Spider was now in the Dream World and had entered the hazy forest in the dream.
This forest was much more 'strange' than it was in the real world. It was as if every tree was swaying with a hazy shadow, and there was a thick layer of fog on the ground.
Some small objects were running in the fog.
These objects were extremely fast, and upon closer inspection, one could see that they were all strange creatures.
In short, they looked like some 'deformed' creatures. They didn't seem to notice the Rock Spiders and ran in front of them.
Lin took a closer look at one of the creatures. It looked like a six-sided cube with three legs growing out of its body.
Was this also the … energy creature in the dream? It looked more like a physical creature.
This thing stayed on the ground for about a second, then ran in a direction and disappeared.
However, the energy creatures here could indeed look like physical creatures. For example, the cocoon from before looked like a piece of meat in the dream.
It seemed like the cocoon was more 'mysterious' than the rugby ball, but Lin still wanted to confirm the rugby ball's situation.
However, the situation here seemed interesting.
The Rock Spider looked up and saw many strange shadows swaying on top of various' trees'. These shadows were very similar to the rugby ball's shadow, but there were some differences.
These shadows had a specific shape, and they looked like real creatures. Although they didn't look like real objects like the meat from before, their shape was very similar.
Lin felt that these creatures had a symbiotic existence in the real world.
Lin had seen many creatures with 'incomplete' brains in the forest earlier. Perhaps these creatures had a symbiotic energy creature, and she could see them in the dream.
There were many of them, and the number of them in the forest in the dream was no less than in the real world.
However, it seemed that there were also many creatures that didn't have a symbiotic energy creature in the dream. That was because the Rock Spider saw a familiar tree.
Although the tree's figure was blurry in the fog, Lin still remembered seeing it in the real world. There was a creature living on this tree, but Lin didn't see this creature in the dream.
This creature was the tentacle that Lin had seen before. There were many of them in the forest, and they had a complete brain. They clearly didn't have a symbiotic relationship with the energy creature.
Here …
The town that was attacked earlier appeared before Lin's eyes.
But … what was this?
Before entering the town, Lin noticed that there was a huge fog-like swaying object outside the town. It looked like a wall made of fog.
The wall was so tall that it reached the sky, and there was no end in sight.
But because it was transparent, she could still see the houses inside.
This … Could it be a clay wall built by the rugby ball? But it shouldn't be that high.
Thinking of this, Lin had the Rock Spider circle around the wall and found a place.
This was the part that was eaten by the giant clam. Lin could see a gap in the wall that reached the sky.
So that's it, it's really like this …
Although the rugby ball's wall in the real world looked soft and useless, it was huge in the dream.
