It seemed to be enveloped by clouds and atmosphere. If you have read this chapter, please move to
: Chinese.
It had a distinctly coloured surface. The blue part of the ocean took up most of the area.
Its name was …
It seemed the name was not completely correct.
Lin was currently looking at a picture. This picture was something that Lin found in this small building. Although it was filled with cracks, as if something had scratched it, Lin could tell that the picture depicted a Tumbler.
It looked like a pompom, a world with an ocean and land. These worlds were actually quite rare, so it was quite wondrous to see this.
Under the picture, Lin also saw some … words printed on it. It should be a name. However, half of the name had been torn away, so it was incomplete.
Lin could now see that the remaining half had the word 'rth' written on it.
This was the shape of the words. However, the current language used by Atlan did not have this shape. Even so, Lin felt a sense of familiarity toward these symbols.
At the same time, the Tumbler in the picture also felt a sense of familiarity. Perhaps it was because it looked like a pompom? Unfortunately, other than this picture, there were no other clues. Normally, one could follow the various traces left behind by the creatures here. For example, the fallen cell fragments would allow one to know where they had gone.
However, the outside world was a desert with constant sandstorms, so it was very difficult to follow these traces … but Lin had already discovered many cell fragments and some attached microorganisms from this picture.
The creatures that lived here were apparently quite similar to Atlan. Lin felt that they were almost identical … but not completely identical.
It should be similar to the relationship between the several types of skeletal dragons, but more distant. They might not be able to co-breed with the current Atlan.
"You're looking for those things again?" Thinking about that, Lin's pompom looked to the other side. That Atlan was collecting many items on the ground.
"Yes, I don't know why … but I like them very much."
The pompom flew behind Atlan to take a look. This Atlan was still collecting those small statues. These statues were very similar to the ones from before. They were all of four-limbed creatures.
However, Lin felt that the statues from before should be of animals. These statues were based on the residents of this place. Their bodies were exactly the same as Atlan's, standing and using their hands to hold things.
These figurines were made to wear gorgeous clothes, and they were wielding sticks or other objects in their hands. Perhaps a weapon?
The only thing that was not normal was their faces. The proportion of the organs on these statues' faces was very different from Atlan's. The main thing was that their eyes were too big, and the breathing organs that acted as noses were relatively small, so small that it was almost impossible to see them … given Atlan's vision.
However, other than his face, his skin was also quite fair. Lin felt that these creatures weren't suitable for living in this environment, but since they were wearing armor and didn't come into direct contact with the environment, she didn't think much of it.
If the residents here looked like this, then they were quite different from Atlan. However, Lin felt that they were similar to the animal statues they found before, and not real people.
Atlan seemed to like these things very much. He felt that the figurines were very beautiful. Lin could feel his emotions … he was very happy and excited …
Although it was the first time it saw them, it showed a heartfelt fondness for these statues, so it began to collect them there.
These statues were only a few centimeters in size. Therefore, it was able to stuff it into the storage box on the leg guard.
"… Are you really going to bring those things with you?" Lin looked at him as he kept stuffing the statues, and he was so careful not to break any of them. This Atlan's personality was really strange.
"I can't help it. They're too cute. I've never seen anything so cute." Atlan seemed to have stuffed the storage box of the armor to the brim, but he still held a few that he couldn't stuff in his hands, and he was reluctant to put them down.
Perhaps their living environment was too oppressive, so when they saw something that matched their 'aesthetic', they instantly burst into incomparable excitement?
Lin felt that this should be the case, and these Atlan had always been working for the brain spirit. Later on, they were abandoned by the brain spirit on the Tumbler that was occupied by the fungus, and their living conditions had always been terrible …
Now, after they relaxed, they began to pursue something that all creatures with personalities liked to pursue. That was … spiritual happiness.
The Voidfolk obtained it through rich entertainment, which prevented them from committing suicide due to the overly oppressive environment in the mother sphere …
These Atlan also needed something similar, and these figurines seemed to be able to relax their originally oppressive spirits.
From the looks of it, bringing Atlan here was really … useless.
Let's not worry about that for now. Let's continue looking at other places.
Next, Lin continued to check all the houses in this small town buried under the sand. This time, she didn't check them one by one, but had a large number of pompoms search them all at once.
After searching almost all the buildings, Lin found that these buildings were almost exactly the same. This was just a residential area, and each building had its own energy supply. Although this seemed to consume more energy, if there was a problem with the energy supply of one building, it wouldn't affect the other buildings.
Strangely, they left almost no information behind, such as diaries and messages that creatures with personalities liked to use, but there was no such thing.
Lin also didn't find anything like a video device, although Lin felt that their technology was enough to create one.
However, from the various traces, it was obvious that this group of residents left in a hurry, and took a large number of things with them, including everything that could express their language. Why did they leave so thoroughly? Were they afraid that some creature would use these things to track them?
Clearly, there was a problem.
In addition to the residential buildings, Lin also found some other buildings, such as … a building used to make things. This building was newly dug out by Lin.
It was much larger than the small houses, and the structure inside was similar to a factory, mainly used to produce metal and the like. For example … the metal ball that Lin and Atlan found in the beginning was produced here.
There were many more of these metal balls piled up in the factory, and Lin now knew that these metal balls were the Tumbler that Lin saw in the picture earlier.
But for some reason, there was a need to make so many of these balls. During the factory's manufacturing process, they would first create a ball, then paint it with the appearance of a continent, in short … something that could be called a 'star globe'.
But why were there so many of these things?
Looking at the Tumbler, Lin had a thought … but she couldn't confirm it.
Because there was nothing new to be found here, Lin left some pompoms here, while the other pompoms brought Atlan away from this small town and flew to other places in this world.
Looking down from the void, most of this world should be a desert. Although there were traces of rivers in some places, there were no traces of an ocean.
Continuing to fly slowly on the sandy ground, Atlan, who was very happy because he had collected a lot of small statues, had been sent back to his home.
As expected, it was useless to bring it along. So, Lin Sheng decided to explore this place on his own.
When Lin was excavating this small town, she had also examined the Tumbler's ground. Lin believed that this world might not have changed for a long time.
In other words, this desert region might have lasted for … over a million years.
Previously, Lin thought that the climate here might have slowly changed, making it difficult for the residents like Atlan to live. But now, Lin believed that was not the case.
Perhaps this place had always been like this, and where did these residents come from?
In other words, they were a group of Atlan who were searching for their ancestral land, and not natives of this place?
But Lin had seen many Atlan before, and she didn't see them creating similar small statues, nor did she know of a decent looking Tumbler.
Perhaps they created it on a whim while they were out searching for it … That's not very likely.
Something seemed to have appeared there …
The ground in the distance was no longer sand, but a vast rocky land. At the edge of the rocky land and the sandy land, Lin saw many buildings.
These buildings were somewhat different from the ones before, and compared to the ones before, they seemed to be … much older.
The pompoms flew closer to these buildings.
Most of them were square in shape, with a height of three meters and a length of ten meters. Their surface was filled with cracks and traces of corrosion, as if they had been here for a long time, and their original colour had long since disappeared.
The things inside were scattered all over the ground like broken pieces, but it was still possible to see that these buildings were similar to the ones before.
But because the things here were too badly damaged, it was impossible for any useful records to be left behind. But, some words could be seen.
On the side of a square building, a pile of words could be seen from the corroded surface.
But it was unknown what they meant, and due to corrosion and various cracks, the words were incomplete.
This might be the previous settlement.
This area of buildings was much larger than the one Lin had excavated before. Although many of the buildings had collapsed, and there were many pieces of debris, but to be able to calculate their number …
Many creatures used to live here, and then for some reason, they moved to the desert, and the creatures in the desert moved away as well. So, where would the next stop be?
"Uu …" Just as Lin was thinking, a sound suddenly rang out.
It seemed that there was no need to go to the next stop … to find them. (To be continued.)
