A thin silver thread hung in the air, and a small 'eyeball' was walking on this thread.
Occasionally, it would look around. In the space around this thread, there were many strange objects of different shapes and sizes.
Some of them were like huge gears, some were like large sponges, some were like spiral-shaped towers, and some were even like sharp needles.
There were many types of these strange objects. They were all connected to each other in different ways and operated together.
When they operated on their own, they also affected the operation of other objects. Therefore, this place was like the interior of a huge machine, and everything was working together.
Except for a few things, there were threads.
This was the thread that the small eyeball was in, and there were many more in this place. They crisscrossed in the air, passing through all kinds of huge moving objects. They did not touch anything, and they did not participate in any movement.
It was like a bridge built between all of this. Because the threads did not participate in the operation, some foreign objects could slowly move along these threads and observe the strange landscape around them.
The eyeball was such a foreign object. It moved slowly along a thread and reached the depths of this space.
It seemed to want to keep going, but the length of the thread had a limit.
Feeling that there was no path ahead, the eyeball stopped and looked forward … It saw a huge object floating in front of it.
If the eyeball was one meter in size, then this object was one hundred meters. It was an object that looked like an 'hourglass.' At both ends were huge containers. There were countless small particles in the containers. These particles would automatically float and float through the narrow middle of the 'hourglass' to the other side.
The particles on both sides would constantly float to the other side. This way, the particles on both sides would not increase or decrease. This activity seemed meaningless, but it kept moving.
'Crack!'
Suddenly, the huge hourglass made a loud noise. A crack appeared in its center. This crack rapidly spread and instantly spread to the entire hourglass. At the same time, the other moving objects around all showed similar behavior. They seemed to start to break down and break down one after another in a short period of time.
But at this moment, the eyeball suddenly floated up, and a large number of its kind appeared around it.
This large group of eyeballs flew to the broken objects around them. Of course, many of them flew to the hourglass in front of them. They pushed the broken objects together again. They reassembled them again.
The objects that seemed impossible to reassemble were all automatically reassembled by the eyeball's actions. And they started to operate like before.
Although they looked different from before, they looked like they had been repaired and were not as complete as before.
However, it did not seem to affect their operation.
At this time, on the other side …
"… It seems to have succeeded."
Under the blue sky and shining sun, Atlan, who was played by Lin, was standing at the edge of a vast grassland.
In the grassland that was more than a meter tall in front of her, its eyes were fixed on Lin. At the same time, Lin was looking at the saber-toothed tiger known as destruction.
In fact, Lin had been killed by it once.
........ Lin's Atlan's weight was about seventy kilograms, and the saber-toothed tiger's weight....................................
................
At the same time, she turned her attention to the inside of the Record Crystal.
There were countless complex structures inside the Record Crystal. Compared to machines, it was more like the inside of cells. Countless' components' were constantly operating, maintaining the Atlan world of the past.
Nothing special would happen when the Atlan's Atlan's Atlan died, but Lin was different.
As soon as Lin's Atlan died, the 'components' inside would start to break down. She had died once before, so some parts were already damaged. Even if she abandoned those parts, they could still continue to operate, so Lin was still able to move around in the world of the Record Crystal.
But if more parts were damaged, that would not be the case. That was why Lin wanted to stop it from being damaged this time.
Lin used some tiny tentacles to investigate the inside of the Record Crystal. These things were called 'microscopic eyeballs'. They were not individual units, but were connected by a transparent tentacle behind them.
Most of the microscopic structures inside the Record Crystal were colorless. The colors, sounds, and so on were all simulated by Lin. Some of the structures' operation and collapse were also 'enhanced' by Lin's thoughts.
But none of this was important. It only allowed Lin to better analyze the situation inside. This time, Lin truly saw that the structures inside would begin to collapse when Lin's Atlan died.
However, this process had already begun before the Atlan died. But perhaps the System inside had confirmed that Lin had no way of escaping at that time, so it cooperated with the process of death and began to collapse first.
That was why Lin tried to repair it … She reassembled the things that had just begun to collapse. However, the reassembly was not complete, and some of the components were damaged.
But miraculously, the reassembled objects could still continue to operate, and when Lin returned to her Atlan's Atlan, the pain of being torn apart by the saber-toothed tiger had already disappeared.
Now, the Atlan that she was playing seemed to have returned to a few dozen seconds before the saber-toothed tiger pounced. Lin's repair had created a miraculous effect.
However, Lin had more or less expected this result. Lin had been observing the structures inside the Record Crystal to understand which parts of the System they were responsible for. For example, the hourglass seemed to be responsible for calculating data.
But she wasn't sure, because Lin still couldn't 'dissect' them for research.
Lin also discovered that there were quite a few 'backup structures' inside the Record Crystal. If some of the structures were damaged, the backup structures would continue to operate to maintain the whole structure. If all of the structures were damaged, the world that Lin's Atlan was in, as well as the worlds that the other Atlan were in, would probably all collapse.
And now … although she couldn't completely stop the damage, she could temporarily avoid some deaths.
This Record Crystal that Ershi created was quite interesting …
But generally speaking, it was best not to simply let the Atlan's Atlan die, because Lin couldn't completely repair the damaged parts, so the next time might not have the same effect.
With that in mind, Lin watched as the saber-toothed tiger slowly retreated. In truth, Lin's Atlan was killed by it earlier mainly because Lin wanted to see the broken parts inside the Record Crystal. If that wasn't the case … then she might have survived.
Generally speaking, predatory creatures wouldn't simply attack when they were exposed, but this saber-toothed tiger didn't seem to want to give up. Perhaps it was because it was very hungry, but watching it like this could delay its attack.
Suddenly, the grass moved, and the saber-toothed tiger slowly walked out. It didn't seem to want to continue hiding, because it knew that Lin had seen it. It seemed to want to get closer to Lin. If Lin decided to turn around and run, it would definitely chase after her.
But then … Lin circled around to the back of a creature on the ground.
The creature was originally in a state of deep sleep, but when it noticed two creatures much larger than it, one in front and one behind it, it woke up and let out a series of noises.
The saber-toothed tiger stopped in its tracks.
It looked at the small creature on the ground, which was constantly letting out ear-piercing threatening noises, which made it hesitate whether to continue moving forward.
Although the saber-toothed tiger was much larger than this creature …
However, this creature was called a 'Venezuelan Rattlesnake'. The name sounded strange, but it was a poisonous creature.
It was like a giant wall between the saber-toothed tiger and Lin, and the saber-toothed tiger didn't dare to cross it.
But since it couldn't cross it, it had to go around it.
Lin saw the saber-toothed tiger start to move to the left. It seemed to want to go around the creature and attack Lin, but it didn't seem to think that as long as Lin went around it, it would never be able to get to her back.
Lin had a better idea. As the saber-toothed tiger moved, the rattlesnake kept its eyes on it, so it turned its head away from Lin. Lin slowly crouched down and quickly reached out to grab the rattlesnake's head.
The rattlesnake immediately struggled, and then Lin grabbed its entire body and held it towards the saber-toothed tiger.
Lin suddenly took a step forward.
"Woo!" The saber-toothed tiger seemed to be frightened and took a step back.
Then Lin rushed towards the saber-toothed tiger, and it immediately turned around and fled into the distance.
This method was actually effective, but thinking that it might not have run far, Lin decided to take the rattlesnake with her first.
Its tail continued to wag loudly, and Lin felt that it could scare away some of the ambushers, but it might also attract some creatures.
Lin noticed that there was a black creature in the distance that was trying to approach them, but it stopped about ten meters away.
This creature was very small, about the same size as a rattlesnake. It might be a species that usually hunted rattlesnakes. These poisonous creatures could usually scare away larger creatures, but they would be hunted down by smaller creatures of similar size.
But because Lin's Atlan's size scared away these small creatures, when Atlan and a rattlesnake were together, they might be invincible.
Lin Sanjiu held onto the rattlesnake and returned to the lake.
She didn't know how the other elites were doing. They might have spread out to look for Lin, after all, they should be very loyal. Although this place was quite far from the lake, Lin remembered the way here.
Although the Atlan character she was playing was very fragile, her memory had nothing to do with it.
"You're here …"
Suddenly, Lin heard a voice. (To be continued …)
