It felt like the problem had been solved … Huh?
That might be the case for the Voidfolk, but … there were many other things.
Under the gray sky, a ball of fluff slowly flew past. In front of the ball of fluff, everything was white.
The sky was filled with dust, and it was not normal dust, but tiny fungal particles.
The Voidfolk had left, and Brainsoul's scheme had been foiled. After Lin discovered the cubes in the void, it meant that Brainsoul no longer had any 'trump cards'.
Or perhaps they were still thinking of something, but they did not have the strength to carry it out? After all, there were cases where they died before they could use their trump cards.
The term 'trump cards' was apt because the Voidfolk had something similar, so Lin could understand what it meant. But Lin already knew this term before she met the Voidfolk …
As she thought, the fluffy ball flew higher.
In this world, whether it was a city or a city, it had all become the domain of fungi. Just like the fungi Lin was familiar with, after they completely occupied a place, they would change from 'invading' to 'living'.
They would create large mushrooms that could absorb sunlight and stop most of their activities, entering a state where their consumption was extremely slow.
However, there was still a part of their activities that would continue, and that was' searching for the next target '.
The fungi would think, they would think of how to proceed to the next location where they could infect the next target. To do this, they would use all sorts of things, such as the leftover items of the Voidfolk … like flying machines.
The fluffy ball stopped.
Now, there was a spherical building in front of the fluffy ball. Like the other buildings, it was covered in a large amount of mycelium, but there were still sounds coming from the building, as if something was operating inside.
It was actually a place where private flying machines were sold, and the fungi seemed to want to use the machines inside. Because Lin thought … they probably knew that the space station in the void had many other targets, so they wanted to go there.
But for now, they had not learned how to operate the machines.
There were also many targets of infection in another place, and that was underground.
Brainsoul's underground plan did not stop just because most of the Voidfolk were killed. The Voidfolk who did not enter the astral gate still went underground, living a life without daylight.
… But they did not seem to see daylight, so there was no difference.
Now, Lin knew that some of the major underground cities were safe. Some of these underground cities were more complicated than the ones above ground, and there were many abandoned areas inside. In the past, the abandoned areas were frequented by Void explorers, but now, they were all inhabited by High Humans.
These places weren't infected yet, probably because the agreement between the brain spirit and the fungus was still in effect, but Lin noticed that a few small places were already showing signs of infection.
Perhaps the agreement did not cover too many areas.
Then … it was about time to tear down that door.
The pompom had already flown to a plaza. This plaza was where the astral gate was located. The large number of people who had gathered here had already left, leaving behind a gate covered in fungi.
The door had already been closed, so even if there were unidentifiable species of fungi, they wouldn't be able to teleport to the other side. Lin originally wanted to see if the fungi could operate the door, but they didn't seem to know how to do it.
Could it be that fungi weren't actually that smart?
It was hard to say how intelligent they were. But up until now, Lin had never seen any creature, including Lin, communicate directly with them. Brain Spirits didn't communicate directly with them either.
Perhaps the fungus' intelligence came from Brain Spirits, but Lin felt that it had a lot to do with the Dreamrock that she somehow got her hands on. It was still hard to tell …
In short, Lin didn't want them to open the door anymore. If they really did learn how to open it, it would be another blow to the Void people.
The Void people did have a high chance of being 'reborn', so it was best not to disturb them …
With that in mind, a large number of pompom flew down from the sky. They stuck directly to the hundred-meter-tall door. As more and more pompom stuck to it, they had already covered the entire door.
Boom!
After a series of explosions, a large number of fragments fell down. The huge door had already been reduced to rubble.
But it wasn't over yet. More pompom flew down and searched for the rubble on the ground, then picked them up … and disintegrated them.
Lin felt that if the fungi could teleport, it might cause a lot of trouble, but whether or not the brain spirit had a large area of influence … It was hard to say.
There were many worlds that couldn't be infected. For example, a world without multicellular organisms …
Or rather, a 'connected world'.
Lin noticed that there was a brain spirit who seemed to know a lot about connected worlds. These brain spirits seemed to have different knowledge, just like creatures with different personalities.
It knew a lot about that world, such as some of the biological systems there, and that place was mainly … made up of about six connected worlds.
This brain spirit didn't know this knowledge on its own, it only knew about it from the legends of other creatures …
Currently, the connected world was very suitable for multicellular organisms, but there were a few other worlds that didn't seem to be suitable. These organisms weren't just densely populated, they were also very … strong, strong enough to resist the invasion of many alien organisms.
The organisms in these worlds came in many different forms. It was as if all the worlds were in different galaxies, and they were all connected together.
What Lin cared about the most was that according to the brain spirit's legends, these worlds would all mix together at the 'last moment' due to some special influence.
Then they would all be destroyed, forming a place like the Floating Rock Land. At the same time, most of the organisms on it would go extinct, but many non-cellular organisms would survive and form a new environment.
Lin had heard of these legends before, but this time she knew more clearly. In short, there were indeed many secrets that were related to the Floating Rock Land.
So she decided to go there and explore. It seemed that the Void people were also planning to explore there …
At the same time, Lin wanted to go to another place to take a look. Lin had always been approaching that place, and now she was almost there. Although Lin felt that there might not be anything special there, she still wanted to take a look.
