"Did you know? This world is collapsing … Not just this world, but the surrounding worlds as well. These worlds are rapidly dying. "
"'Death' isn't as simple as the disappearance of the creatures on it. The entire world will slowly crumble, turning into fragments that float in the void and nurture new species."
"No, not completely new. There are some old species that will remain. You must have seen them. They are floating. Even after the world collapses, they will continue to do so. They will continue to live …"
"After a world collapses, only a few species can continue to live. Most of the other species will go extinct in the process of the world's death."
"However, after the world collapses, a new environment will form, allowing countless creatures to grow again … This' connected world 'is probably such a place …"
"However, this is only a normal situation … Now, something strange has happened here."
"… You can continue to find us."
It didn't say what had happened.
Lin and the Incan Void Cockroaches looked at the thing before them that looked like … a solid mass of smoke.
From the outside, it looked like a mass of smoke. The details on it were very similar to real smoke, but it was solid.
Inside this solid mass, there was a large amount of dreamforce. This dreamforce felt exactly the same as a Dreamy Eater, so it was possible to treat it as a Dreamy Eater.
However, it was much smaller than the Dreamy Eater Lin had seen before. Lin felt that this might not be its' main body '. Instead, it was something like a 'clone'.
Why was this doppelganger here?
Because Lin wanted to know. So, she let the ball of fur come into contact with it. The moment she touched it, Lin … received a lot of information.
First … Lin understood its structure. The composition of the solid mass of smoke was similar to the 'mud' here, and it was also similar to the floating skins.
It seemed that the Dreamy Eater had used this composition to construct this solid mass of smoke. The reason it was here seemed to be to leave behind some information.
These information. In other words, it was related to this world. It seemed that this was a … dying world.
Although Lin already knew this, she didn't expect the world's environment to change so drastically during the process of death.
After all, the environment of a typical Stellar Bus would not change much when it died. The ecology of its body would still be maintained.
But here, it seemed to be a different situation …
Lin didn't just receive some information. She also received some … images.
These images only flashed by briefly, but Lin could see them clearly. This world of darkness was originally a place with a high concentration of creatures.
Most of them were non-cellular creatures, very similar to the first world. There were also some … civilizations, but all of them seemed to have disappeared.
There were only a few types left, including the Floating Skin.
According to the information, the floating skins could continue to live. And live until the world's collapse ….
That was the collapse stage. It seemed that just like what Lin knew before, the connected worlds would eventually split apart and become places like the Floating Rock Land.
Many new creatures, and it could be said that it was a new beginning ….
However, there were still many problems … At least, that was what the Dream Eater believed. It believed that something unusual had happened during the death of the Stellar Bus.
But it didn't say what the abnormality was.
The solid mass of smoke didn't respond to Lin's information, but it said that Lin could continue to look for it … Lin felt that it might have hidden more of this solid mass of smoke nearby. These smoke were probably hidden in the mud. There was something like a jet inside them, so when Lin approached, it would rush out from the mud.
Lin felt that the Dreamy Eater deliberately waited for Lin here. But it only left behind a small amount of information. But … Lin felt that it didn't do it on purpose.
Instead, it looked like it was doing something … Also, Lin didn't think that the information was left behind by the Dreamy Eater. It might be from another … creature.
The one that followed the Dreamy Eater … Se. Lin felt that the dream energy contained some 'emotions', very similar to Se.
But she couldn't be completely sure. She would just treat it as a message left by the Dreamy Eater.
"Something is approaching," the Void Cockroach suddenly said to Lin, "A lot of them."
"There is indeed something." Lin's velvet ball looked around. As long as it emitted a bit of light, she could see a large number of … floating skins in the sky flying over.
There were dozens of these floating skins. They rode the wind and flew to Lin's velvet ball. They surrounded the solid mass of smoke and stuck to it.
Following that, Lin could hear something that sounded like … glass shattering.
Following these sounds, Lin noticed that many fragments fell from the solid mass of smoke … It seemed that the floating skins were eating it.
As time passed, the mass of smoke slowly became smaller and smaller. Lin's velvet ball and the Void Cockroach didn't do anything. They just watched the floating skins slowly eat it up.
As the mass of smoke was being eaten, Lin felt that the dream energy belonging to the Dreamy Eater didn't disappear. Instead, it slowly spread out.
At this time, Lin could feel that … the energy was moving in a certain direction. So that's how it is …
"Let's go that way," Lin said to the Void Cockroaches. Then, she had the velvet ball fly in the direction the dream energy was pointing.
This was the location.
After flying for about a hundred meters, Lin arrived at the next place where the dream energy gathered. When she got close, the ground rumbled again. A solid mass of smoke about ten meters in diameter rose from the ground.
Sure enough, these things were hidden in the mud. After it rose, Lin's velvet ball touched it like before.
The Void Cockroaches of the Inca swarm also touched this mass of smoke after the velvet ball … It was unknown if they could sense the energy, but Lin could feel it. There was more information in it … It explained more things.
The Dreamy Eater explained its reason for coming here. It seemed like it came here mainly because of some of the creatures here.
The reason the Dreamy Eater woke up wasn't entirely because Lin 'woke' it up. The main reason was that it knew what was happening here.
The Dreamy Eater knew that when this place was in a state of slow death, many creatures would go extinct with it.
The reason the Dreamy Eater came here was to protect some of the creatures here. These creatures were basically dream creatures. They lived somewhere in this world.
If this information was translated into a language Lin was familiar with, it would be more or less like this …
… …
"I've always had this habit of finding creatures that are about to disappear. I'll protect them and bring them away from the dangerous environment."
"I came here for this reason. When I came here, the surrounding creatures would have some special reactions because of my arrival. They would have a special 'xenophobic' emotion. They might attack you or your … companions. This phenomenon will slowly disappear. Don't worry too much about it." “
"What you should be concerned about is the situation here. After I came here, I found that … things aren't going very well because many creatures have disappeared. Many of the creatures I wanted to protect have disappeared. Only a small number of them are left."
"It's very difficult for this small portion to continue living. This is very different from what I expected."
"The main reason is … Do you know why I woke up?"
"I didn't wake up completely because you 'woke' me up. I was going to wake up during this period of time and come here to take some creatures away."
"According to my original expectations, there would be many creatures left here. I could take them all away, but now there are only a few left."
"This means … This world has entered the stage of death ahead of time. It's much faster than expected."
"I'm investigating what happened. After the investigation, I'll leave behind more information. You can find it later if you come at the right time."
… … …
And then there was nothing.
So that's what happened …
The Dreamy Eater discovered that the environment here was very different from what it expected? So this was the abnormality mentioned in the beginning.
But it didn't know how these abnormalities came about.
While thinking about this, Lin noticed a large group of floating skins flying over and gnawing on the smoke ball.
After gnawing on the smoke ball, it would release the energy within and point Lin to the next location …
Lin felt that this should be the current situation. The Dreamy Eater was investigating the situation here. Every time it discovered something, it would leave behind a smoke ball filled with dream energy to transmit information.
Lin felt that there was no need for something so big to transmit information because the information could be stored in a very small object.
The smoke ball could also be used to feed the floating skins or something else …
Lin still had the same feeling that the information wasn't left behind by the Dreamy Eater. Lin had received a 'message' from the Dreamy Eater before it left. Back then, the feeling was completely different from now.
However, Lin felt that there was nothing wrong with the information. It was just that the message wasn't left behind by the Dreamy Eater …
Forget it. Let's go to the next location. It would be even better if it left behind more information.
While Lin was thinking, the ball of fur flew to the next location. This place didn't seem to have a solid smoke ball rushing out. (To be continued.)
