The huge kingdom was the symbol of this world...
Even if the environment here had turned into a wasteland due to the lack of water, they still lived here and worked hard to extend their lives in this wasteland. ● Chi
They had built a huge city on this piece of land. What used to be countless small communities had now merged into two huge countries.
They lived in buildings made of metal and rock, and pipes leading to the depths of the ground connected each house, and a large amount of water was continuously sent to each house.
On the streets that were illuminated by the scorching sun, many machines could be seen crawling slowly. These machines were also known as' constructs'. They were generally in the form of six legs, similar to the magnification of these creatures, and could move according to the movements of the operator.
This was a necessity for the residents here. The mechanical structures could help them avoid the threat of the sun, but they generally rarely left their houses.
In these cities, in addition to the buildings, there was also a landscape of 'rock thorn' fields.
This was their only food. The rock thorn could absorb sunlight and impurities in the groundwater to grow rapidly. The water resources were also used to grow large areas of rock thorn. The structures in charge of managing the rock thorn were constantly observing their fields.
Whether it was water or rock thorn, if one of the two was lacking, they would be destroyed.
They had already destroyed the creatures that were originally with them, so they tried to protect the last resources.
The only resources they did not lack were metal and other energy.
Just by digging here, they could obtain a huge amount of metal resources. A huge machine was constructed through their hard work. Every creature rode in the mechanical structure. Not long after each cub was born, they would receive education on how to operate the structure and knowledge about fighting.
Because they would face war at any time, they had to be good at fighting.
And their opponents were their own kind.
Cities were usually built around water sources, and water sources in other areas were also their targets. They built huge water sources in other areas of the wasteland, but these water sources were generally located between the territories of the two countries. So they would continue to be attacked by the enemy.
The two countries continued to send troops to protect these water sources. Countless creatures died in the war, but countless soldiers continued to move forward.
Although they knew that as long as they worked together, they could avoid meaningless destruction, they never thought so. They seemed to be unwilling to work with each other.
In the war, they developed many types of structures, including those that could fly and those that could move quickly. Those that could burrow and so on...
However, the strength of both sides had always been on par, and no one had been able to obtain a true advantage.
Maybe it's because. The 'souls' of these creatures had limited intelligence.
Their intelligence was not entirely born from evolution, but was stimulated by something. Later records mentioned that the intelligence of these creatures was somehow related to the Void Bus. If not for this, they would not have been able to grow in this world.
Although the Void Bus didn't come to this world much after the lack of water, it wasn't that it didn't come to this world at all. Occasionally, it would come to 'take a look'.
It was also because of this' stimulation 'that intelligence appeared. The way they developed was a little strange. They had a certain belief, and the way they developed was also closely related to that belief.
But no matter what, they had formed a huge army and country. As long as one side won, they would be able to develop better.
However, none of them won.
Because at some point … the Void Bus had returned.
The Void Bus didn't do anything to this world. It just came here to observe a little and then left.
However, it left something behind.
A special creature was planted in this world like a seed.
At first, it only knew how to squirm and crawl, but it had stronger intelligence. It soon began to understand this world.
Because it had the title of 'creator'. However, it didn't come here on purpose like other creators. It came here in a more 'passive' way.
However, this didn't hinder its behavior.
All creators had a goal, and that was to grow... and then create.
The creator was very weak at first because it was still a child. It couldn't find any food on this dry and lifeless land.
However, it found that the creatures here were riding on those constructs to fight, and the defeated would usually fall out of the shattered constructs and wait to be burned dry by the scorching sun.
The creator's skin could withstand the sunlight here, and it quickly learned to find the corpses of the defeated as food. After that, the creator hid in the desert for a long time, waiting for the war to happen. After the war, it would collect the large number of corpses.
The creatures here also discovered that the corpses on the battlefield would always' disappear ', but they didn't care at first and continued to fight for a long time.
They didn't notice that... the creator who ate their corpses had begun to slowly grow.
As the creator grew in size, it was no longer the cub it was at the beginning. It needed more resources, and it was no longer satisfied with just looking for corpses. It began to attack the structures that were left alone, breaking them into pieces, and then pulling out the creatures inside to eat.
This kind of attack wasn't intense at first, so it wasn't taken seriously. It wasn't until the frequency of the creator's attacks increased that the creatures here noticed the danger of this matter.
They preliminarily confirmed the thing that attacked them. They thought that it was a tentacle-like creature hidden underground.
They didn't expect that the tentacles were only a part of the creator.
The creator was active on land at first, but later it hid underground and used its tentacles to reach out to the surface to attack creatures on the surface.
Although there were types of constructs that could drill into the ground, their drilling skills were very poor, and it was difficult to find the hidden creator.
The creator also encountered some problems. Originally, it could obtain water from its prey, but later it needed to find more water to grow.
So, the creator moved underground and found a water source in the desert.
There was a huge pit here, and there was a large amount of underground water and rivers under the pit. Creatures built pumping devices here to obtain water, and this was also one of the most competitive places.
The creator approached this place from underground, then began to 'take root' near the water source, and quickly grew here.
Like other creators, the creator saw that there was an abundance of water here, but a lack of creatures. It put some primitive cells and viruses here, and these creatures began to grow rapidly in the water under the creator's influence.
The creator didn't pay too much attention to the growth of these creatures because its personality was a little different, and it paid more attention to the creatures on the surface.
The war... began again.
The creator's body continued to grow, and it began to control this water source, as well as some nearby resource points.
Countless tentacles spread underground and drilled out everywhere on the surface, making it difficult for the creatures to determine where the creator's body was.
The creator continued to attack them more and more, and the two countries that had been at war finally came to a temporary truce, and they began to attack the creator together.
Although they said they were united, they were not. Although they didn't fight on the surface, their cooperation was very poor.
This gave the creator a lot of opportunities, and the creator used these characteristics... to eliminate many of these creatures, and the nutrients obtained from them allowed the creator to grow stronger.
Of course, these creatures were not without counterattacks. They had been trying to fight the creator, and their best achievement in the battle was to discover the creator's body and successfully blow it up.
However, this was useless. Before the creator was blown up, it had transferred its brain cells elsewhere. It used other tentacles to form a new body, and then began to invade these creatures...
It soon began to attack the cities of these creatures, and the tentacles drilled out of the ground destroyed all their buildings and swallowed a large number of rock thorn fields.
With the resources, the creator grew further, and these creatures found that they and their constructs could no longer cause any effective damage to the target...
But they were still fighting, and the two countries were finally united.
They kept burning the tentacles on the ground and tried to find the creator's body, but the creator had already occupied most of the water sources.
Their resources were getting less and less, and with the lack of troops, these creatures began to lose.
In the end, they tried to escape, trying to escape to other parts of the world, but only here, there was a large amount of underground water resources.
The creator took the opportunity to destroy these creatures. It almost devoured them and destroyed most of their mineral collection points, which made them begin to lack the resources to make mechanical constructs...
Their creators slowly destroyed their cities one by one, and their civilization, which had lasted for a long time, quickly collapsed during this period.
In the end, they were no longer divided into countries, and they all gathered in the few cities that were not destroyed to fight, but the creator had already targeted them, and the creator did not intend to let any of them go.
In the end, when they were almost completely destroyed by the creator, they thought of a way...
That was to pray to their faith... to their 'god'. Floating astronomy.
