Their final task …
Was to create a new Star Bus.
After the soft-bodied creatures completed all their tasks, the final Hereditary Body that was synthesized from a large number of soft-bodied creatures could be said to be the baby of the Star Bus … a different kind of baby.
The Hereditary Body would leave this world through the last remaining organ of the Star Bus with a teleportation function.
After leaving, it was not certain where it would end up, but it would definitely leave. When the Hereditary Body left, the teleportation organ would also lose its function.
This Star Bus would completely become … a normal world.
The Genetic Body would start a new life in the new world. Their initial way of life was very simple. They would collect nutrients like ordinary creatures, but after a period of time, the Genetic Body would slowly construct a mini environment in their body.
At the same time, it would grow bigger and bigger, and finally become a new Star Bus.
This seemed to be another … method of reproduction.
However, the environment of the Hereditary Body seemed to be largely inherited from the original Star Bus, and created a very similar creature.
But it would not be completely the same, because the location was different. The environment might be more similar in the beginning, but later on, it would have its own direction and make new developments.
As for the 'will' aspect, it did not seem to be inherited. The consciousness of the Star Bus would be born on its own, and it would not know anything that happened before, and it would not know who its' mother 'was.
Moreover, it seemed that the Star Bus that grew up in this way was … 'late maturing.' It did not even know what kind of creature it was in the beginning, so it would usually learn all kinds of things through limited means.
It was also easier to be infected by the creatures that lived on it, such as … values and things like that might be similar to the creatures on it.
So that's how it was. Lin felt that Lin's Star Bus grew up in this way. It seemed that the Star Bus did not usually use this method of reproduction, but in situations like this, they would use this method.
What Lin cared about was that in the description here, there was not only one Hereditary Body. The soft-bodied creatures would gather into many of these Hereditary Bodies.
Among them, only one Hereditary Body would inherit the information of this Star Bus, and the other Hereditary Bodies would inherit the information of other … Star Bus.
This connected world was made up of many star buses connected together. The other Star Buses had collapsed one after another, but their data was retained in the Hereditary Genome.
This seemed to be the main purpose of Star Bus to create soft-bodied creatures, so after this, there would be many genetic variants that would grow into a whole new group of Star Bus.
But why didn't the other Star Bus create soft-bodied creatures instead of letting themselves collapse? And then hand over all the information to this Star Bus?
Although he didn't know the reason, it was obviously very important. After all, all the information about the Star Bus was on this Star Bus.
Lin also wanted to see these genes.
After all, most of the other Star Bus had already collapsed, and the environmental information on them could only be obtained from this place.
If Lin could detect these genetic variants, she should be able to find out the environmental conditions of the Star Bus.
But before that, he might be able to find the information. As long as he could find the soft-bodied creatures that gathered to form genetic bodies, he would be able to find the information.
In addition to this, Lin also found a lot of other information here, including some things about the connected worlds.
The connected worlds weren't originally connected to each other, and the connecting 'doors' were built by the Star Bus.
The purpose of this connection was … to transfer information to each other.
Although the Star Bus could originally communicate with each other. But after their consciousness died, they would have to exchange information with each other through these doors.
Some of the soft-bodied creatures' quests weren't directly issued here, but were sent from other Star Buses.
Whenever a Star Bus collapsed, the soft-bodied creatures would carry out some special quests. These quests included things like storing information.
Why didn't the other Star Bus create soft-bodied creatures to prevent themselves from collapsing, but instead handed over all the information to Lin's Star Bus? This was very strange.
They should also like the environment they created, so why didn't they care about their own environment?
Or … they couldn't?
If he could examine those genetic bodies, he might be able to find out what the other Star Bus were thinking.
The information Lin saw here was mainly recorded by this Star Bus, and the purpose of recording was … for the 'juniors' to see.
It was mainly for the other young Star Bus. It let them know the process of creating soft-bodied creatures, as well as some of the ideas and methods in the process. It was very detailed.
But it lacked a description of the reasons, such as why it was done and so on. And Lin felt that they should find a way to prevent themselves from collapsing. But the Star Bus didn't seem to care too much about this. If it wasn't for the fact that they cherished their own environment, Lin felt that they wouldn't mind even if they died.
Why?
Was it because they had lived for so long that they had the idea of 'indifferent to life and death'? Lin felt that shouldn't be the case … there might be other reasons.
But, would the young Star Bus not mind? Lin felt that the young ones still cherished their own lives.
In short. The purpose of this Star Bus recording this information was to let other Star Buses be like it, and to create soft-bodied creatures according to its method if they entered a stage similar to collapsing.
It hadn't been discovered by other Star Bus, but Lin had discovered it. Lin also learned a lot of relevant information because of this, and felt that … it was very interesting.
But the information wasn't very complete, and there wasn't much more information … She had to go to other places to look, such as examining those genetic bodies.
The soft-bodied creatures that synthesized genetic bodies were definitely a group of special soft-bodied creatures. They probably wouldn't participate in battles or anything, but gathered in a safe place.
Now Lin wanted to look for that place, and … to look at other Star Bus locations. There should be some places that hadn't collapsed yet, so …
'Gulp …'
Just as Lin was thinking about this, she suddenly felt a … sound.
This was a reaction from the organ. From the outside, it looked like the whole organ was constantly trembling, and Lin felt that there was some kind of change inside.
This change slowly spread inside and continued to the epidermis.
'Bang!'
Suddenly, the surface of the organ suddenly exploded, and a large amount of … mucus-like substance gushed out from the exploded part.
The mucus all sprinkled on the ground, and then it began to squirm, spread out, and split into a large number of … soft-bodied creatures.
These soft-bodied creatures were originally very big, but they began to divide and eventually became smaller and smaller, leaving behind a group of soft-bodied creatures that were about a few centimeters in size.
Then … this group of soft-bodied creatures scattered, and they didn't react to what was happening around them, they all ran away just like that.
Lin watched as they climbed up the surrounding rock walls and then drilled into the cracks in the rock walls … At this time, Lin had some of the mud on the scene spread out to follow this group of soft-bodied creatures.
This organ shouldn't have been working, but it suddenly started working just now and created soft-bodied creatures.
And the reason it suddenly started working was mainly because … a Star Bus transmitted a signal.
When other Star Buses collapsed, some signals would be transmitted, and if this organ received the signal at this time, it would immediately start working and create some related soft-bodied creatures.
But …
According to the data Lin had checked before, all the other Star Bus should have sent signals, and the related soft-bodied creatures should have been created as well, so why was there still a signal?
Because of this, Lin felt that it was very strange.
Now, Lin's mud had caught a soft-bodied creature, and after examining it, Lin found that this soft-bodied creature was nothing special.
The soft-bodied creatures that were created by other Star Bus signals were very special, and were probably used to synthesize genetic material.
The soft-bodied creatures that Lin caught now were definitely not used to create genetic material, because they were almost the same as the ordinary soft-bodied creatures that Lin had discovered at the beginning.
If that was the case, then where did the signal come from? Why did this organ activate and create a bunch of ordinary … soft-bodied creatures? This was a bit strange.
'Rumble …'
While thinking, Lin felt the surroundings shake.
This time, it wasn't the organ that was moving, but the surrounding underground environment that was shaking.
'Bang!' Suddenly, Lin saw a rock wall beside her explode, and something that Lin was very familiar with crawled out from it.
This was … Susumi.
To be precise, it was Susumi with a mechanical body.
Susumi had separated from the Scholar's exploration team a long time ago, and later Lin noticed that it was exploring the jungle on its own without doing anything strange.
So why was it here now?
Susumi's main body was still in the Voidpeople's camp, and it was in a state of deep sleep, which meant that it hadn't woken up, but now this machine wasn't in a state that it could control.
That was because its eyes weren't even open.
However, without opening its eyes, it could still use other detection functions to sense its surroundings, but as a creature that relied mainly on vision, Susumi would always use its eyes when controlling machines.
Obviously … this machine was being controlled by something else, and it should be related to the micro-machine.
Because there was fear energy inside.
