"That's what they've always been doing …"
"They're trying to change everything with their own will …"
"Here … before I reshaped myself, I realized … that … the disease was caused by them. They've always wanted to transform everything."
…
There was such an ancient creature that had appeared in the Void a long, long time ago.
They were called … Stellar Buses because they would revolve around the stars and carry countless living creatures.
Although they were called that, they didn't always revolve around stars. Sometimes, they would revolve around other larger rollers, such as the gas rollers.
There were even some special species that lived inside the gas rollers. There were also some extreme species that lived in the Void, places that were dangerous for ordinary creatures.
But no matter what species they were, they had a long lifespan. These creatures could always witness the rise and fall of countless creatures on their bodies, as well as the rise and fall of civilizations … They were born 'creators', and a very … gentle creator.
They rarely interfered with what the creatures on their bodies did, whether they killed each other to the point of extinction, or developed to the point where they wanted to leave the bus.
The Star Buses only cared about intruders. Although they wouldn't mind if their own creatures fought each other, they were quite concerned about intruders. They wouldn't allow the intruders to start a war on their bodies.
They would think of various ways to deal with the intruders until the target was completely eliminated … for the younger Star Buses. There were many problems that were difficult for them to solve.
And when they reached adulthood or … old age. They would almost never encounter problems that they couldn't solve. It had always been like this …
Until a certain time, a 'disease' appeared in the Star Buses.
As a huge world, they would rarely … get sick. Even if they did, they could quickly find the cause. But they couldn't find the cause of this disease.
And. These sick Star Buses could only watch as abnormalities appeared in their bodies. This abnormality would slowly rob them of their consciousness and then lead them to death.
In other words, collapse. In this case, their bodies would explode into a pile of fragments.
They … of course, didn't want to accept this outcome, but they couldn't do anything. The most they could do was to prevent their bodies from collapsing, and this way, they could become ordinary rollers. The creatures on their bodies could continue to live.
This method was more complicated and might not succeed, but they still needed to do some experiments.
However, one of these sick Star Buses didn't agree with this method.
To be precise, it didn't want to just reach this level. It still wanted to track down the source of their disease. So, in its remaining life, it kept researching and told some of its ideas to its companions.
Later, it found a place that might be the source of the disease.
It was a very distant place, but the source had used some sort of method to transport the 'collapse disease' to their location.
The star bus suspected that the source of the pollution was related to another type of creature, and that was … the creator.
If the Star Bus was a natural Creator, then the Creator was an 'acquired' creature Creator. They also had a considerable interest in creating vast environments and creatures, but they might not be so … good to their creations.
Also, they were a considerable threat to the young Star Bus.
The Star Bus doubted its own idea because it had never seen a Creator with this … terrifying ability.
To be able to cause a group of ancient Star Bus to die, this should be something that the Creator couldn't do, but when it detected the source of the infection, it felt some of the same … signals as the Creator.
This made it very suspicious, but because of the disease, it couldn't go closer to investigate, so it continued to research.
In the end, it found a way.
A way to preserve some of the important organs, and that was … to combine some new organs.
The newly combined organs wouldn't be affected by the disease, but they had to be combined in a special way, and that was using soft creatures.
In order to prevent themselves from collapsing, the Star Bus created soft creatures. These soft creatures were responsible for decomposing various original organs and stabilizing the terrain.
At the same time, they also had other uses, which was to combine into a new baby and leave this place to develop elsewhere.
Since they could combine into a baby, it meant that they could combine into some important organs …
Based on this method, it thought of some … possibilities, the possibility that it could be 'reborn', as long as it could create a new body.
But now that the organs were 'contaminated' by the collapsed disease, they couldn't be preserved, but if it was a newly created organ, it shouldn't be contaminated.
If these organs could survive … then they would be reborn.
So, the Star Bus thought of a way. First, it created some organs that could survive after the collapse.
After it discussed with its companions, their companions agreed with its idea, so they worked together to start this process.
They gave some of the soft creatures on their body some … tasks, and after they completed the decomposing task, they began to combine into new organs.
These organs were made up of many soft creatures on the Star Bus, mainly teleportation organs … and gravitational organs. These organs could be said to be living things.
They had the ability to live on their own and didn't need to rely on other organs to survive.
After the soft creatures completed the decomposing task, they would be teleported to a faraway place to complete the assembly of these new organs.
This faraway place was called a 'safe point', and after the Star Bus' research, it believed … that this' safe point 'wouldn't be infected by the source of the disease.
At the same time, it also found that the collapse infection was a very long process, and it didn't happen immediately. It was possible that they had been infected when … they were still relatively young.
Therefore, if the soft creatures could be placed there, they would have enough time to grow, and when they combined into new organs, another batch of soft creatures would be teleported there.
This group of soft creatures didn't have a task to assemble. Their task was to watch over these newly assembled organs, solve various problems, and investigate the source of the infection.
The source of the infection was actually relatively close to the 'safe point', and it could be reached after one teleportation, so they could quickly go there to investigate and then quickly return.
Of course, this group of soft creatures also had another task, which was to collect materials. They collected all the materials and let the organs assemble them.
Observing the source of the infection was safe. The Star Bus believed that the collapse infection wouldn't affect other creatures, and it was only targeted at the Star Bus.
Therefore, this group of soft creatures could continuously collect information and resources for it.
After everything was planned, countless tasks were set up in advance, and after ensuring that the mutants and the overall situation were under control, the Star Bus could finally … proceed to the final step.
The final step was to preserve a small section of its nerves.
Although so much was planned, this small section of nerves was the most important. Since the nerves had been contaminated by the disease, before the Star Bus collapsed … the 'consciousness' in the nerves would disappear first.
The Star Bus didn't discover, or rather, didn't have time to discover, the reason for the disappearance of the consciousness, but it wasn't completely undiscovered.
It still noticed some of the reasons for the disappearance of the consciousness, and then it teleported this section of nerves to the safe point.
It also placed it together with the organs …
In this way, the data collected by the soft creatures while observing the source of the infection would be obtained by this … nerve.
Although it no longer had consciousness, which meant that it didn't have the ability to think, it was still alive, and it could automatically perform certain functions, such as receiving information and analyzing the situation of the infection source.
And the consciousness that disappeared from this section of nerves would slowly recover.
There was something special on this section of nerves that allowed it to slowly 'wake up', but the process was very slow, and many times it would only wake up temporarily and then enter a state of unconsciousness.
And only this small section of nerves could be preserved, the other nerves couldn't be saved.
Therefore, the Star Bus could only use this section of nerves to receive all kinds of information in this place. During the long waiting process, the soft creatures … the mutants, had been observing the source of the infection. Although the mutants themselves didn't know what they were observing, they also didn't know that the data they observed would be sent to the nerve.
And the nerve would occasionally wake up, and during the short period of its awakening, it would quickly analyze all kinds of information it obtained and further understand the situation of the infection source.
Not only did the mutants bring back information after their observations, but the various remains brought back by the mutants also gave it a lot of information.
In the end, it would use all kinds of materials found near the infection source to create a new body.
Because after a long period of understanding, it had already grasped all the information about the infection source, and this body would no longer fear … infection.
This was the original plan. (To be continued.)
