When the world began to evaporate, everything … stabilized.
The earthquakes were no longer frequent, the cracks no longer exploded, and even the boiling flames underground became much quieter.
It was as if a mysterious force had taken control of the entire world …
In this stable world, living things … began to multiply.
Originally, there were many creatures in this world. Even after the Dream Weaver and Dream Eater started the destruction, they still lived in this world.
But because the surface became restless, they could only hide in a few safe places. They were afraid of the earthquakes that could happen at any time and lived a difficult life.
But now that the world had stabilized, these creatures began to leave their hidden places and live outside.
Almost all the creatures that were still alive in this world had very strong senses. They could detect the movements underground and know where and when an earthquake would occur.
This was how they were able to survive in this turbulent world. And now, these creatures with strong senses quickly knew that the world had stabilized.
They quickly started a new life, left their originally restricted living space, went to places rich in resources, and began to reproduce.
Although the phenomenon of countless small things rising from the ground made most of the creatures feel strange, it was not harmful, so they did not care too much.
Soon, this once destroyed world became prosperous again. Many creatures continued to reproduce, and their numbers occupied the entire world.
Moreover. Among the creatures that were all over the world. They formed a very strange group. If translated into a language that Lin was familiar with, they could be called the 'Church of the Transcendent'.
This group of creatures had high intelligence, and for some reason, they began to worship the phenomenon of 'evaporation from the ground'.
They would often gather at some special places and start worshipping. These special places usually had some relatively large floating objects.
It was not only debris that evaporated, but also some larger objects. For example, the pillar that maintained the dream space. Some of the pillars that collapsed during the earthquake floated into the air, and it seemed to be affected by the evaporator.
This kind of phenomenon was very rare, because the other things that floated up were basically just small pieces of debris. There was almost nothing as big as a pillar.
This group of Transcendent used these floating pillars as the main object of worship, or rather, the place of worship. They gathered in large numbers around the pillars.
And this group of churches didn't just worship themselves, they also … preached to the people around them.
They try to learn the language of other creatures and tell them to worship the phenomenon of transpiration.
Almost no creatures paid any attention to them. There were many reasons for their indifference, and most of them were because they could not understand each other. However, there was a group of creatures that responded to the Church.
These creatures were short and small, and their language was very similar to the language used by the creatures of the Order. Therefore, the two sides quickly understood each other, but the reason they joined was not because they also had feelings of worship. It was only because the church had promised to provide them with sufficient food and resources.
This group of creatures would later be called the Skeleton Gnomes by Lin. Here, their story had just begun.
The Dream Weaver, on the other hand, didn't really care about these creatures. It only discovered these churches when it was trying to build more carriers and recorded a little about them.
What it cared about the most was its own affairs. Because real creatures thrived in a stable environment, its Dream Space was able to expand. Not only was there no longer the threat of earthquakes, but there were also so many creatures, which would also increase the number of dream creatures.
The reason for the appearance of dream creatures was still not completely determined, but as long as the Dream Space was expanded, they would always be born in the dream.
And if there were real creatures in the Dream Space, then there would be more of them … and faster. In fact, the birth of many dream creatures had a certain connection with real creatures.
But it wasn't a complete connection. Some dream creatures were just … born out of thin air, and the Dream Weaver didn't know the reason for their birth.
The Dream Weaver, on the other hand, didn't care so much. With so many dream creatures born, it meant that it would have enough food.
It and its group could prey on these dream creatures, so it no longer needed to ask for food from the Core Guardians that it couldn't protect.
It made some of the Core Guardians it caught before into a 'prison', but there were still many Core Guardians scattered all over the Dream Space.
It was impossible to catch all of them. This group of Core Guardians was very good at hiding and escaping.
The Dream Weaver, on the other hand, didn't care too much about them because it no longer needed to rely on them. Not only was the problem of food solved, but it could also observe the real world through the machines it created. The Core Guardians were useless.
The Dream Weaver, on the other hand, began to quickly expand its group, the Dream Space, everything.
It believed that the recovery of civilization was getting closer and closer.
However, something unexpected happened in this world full of surprises … At some point in time, the Core Protectors who had been hiding everywhere and were rarely seen suddenly appeared.
They floated around in the Dream Space and kept 'shouting', "Something that can't be protected is approaching!"
Dream Weaver Dream Eater asked the Core Protectors what they couldn't protect, and the Core Protectors' response was …
"Something that can't be protected is something that can't be protected! Do I have to tell you this? Are you stupid? "
Just like that, the Dream Weaver didn't know what it was.
Until … it came.
This thing that couldn't be protected wasn't like the Evaporator, it came silently. In fact, the Dream Weaver, the Dream Weaver, on the other hand, didn't feel anything.
The only thing it felt was that the group of Core Guardians in the Dream Space continued to 'shout', which made it irritated.
Those Core Guardians seemed to have gone crazy. They kept spreading the word that the thing that couldn't be protected had arrived. They also said that they wanted to step onto the battlefield and make everything defensible.
The Dream Weaver, on the other hand, didn't care too much about them. It just wanted to catch all of them because it was annoyed by their shouting.
Because the Core Guardians were constantly spreading the word, they didn't hide themselves, so it was much easier to catch them than usual.
The Dream Weaver, on the other hand, locked all of the Core Guardians in the 'cage' it originally created. After dealing with them, the Dream Weaver planned to continue its development. But at this time … it found a problem.
The problem first appeared in real creatures. Many real creatures suddenly began to go crazy.
This crazy behavior was mainly because they were afraid. They did many things that they would only do when they were afraid, such as desperately running away or attacking all targets around them.
This behavior caused these creatures to break away from their normal lives, and they soon died.
This phenomenon happened on a large scale to almost all creatures living on the surface … Of course, this also affected the Dream Space.
Because of the large number of deaths of real creatures, the number of creatures in the Dream Space also began to decrease, but it didn't have much of an impact.
After all, this world was still stable, and the Dream Space wasn't disturbed too much.
However, the Dream Weaver, the Dream Weaver, was very concerned about this phenomenon, so it started to research. It let its machines catch some creatures to study.
At first, it didn't study anything. These creatures seemed to go crazy for no reason … Later, the Dream Weaver, the Dream Weaver, discovered that this phenomenon was caused by a kind of dream energy.
This kind of energy was very difficult to find. At first, it didn't notice that there was such a strange energy.
Later, the Dream Weaver, the Dream Weaver, discovered the reason. It seemed that its perception was affected.
And this effect seemed to be because it had eaten too much of the energy transformed by the Core Protector. Its perception had changed, and it couldn't feel any energy outside its Dream Space.
Before, it couldn't feel the distant void, but now it couldn't even feel something so close.
The reason it discovered this kind of energy that made real creatures afraid was because it found some abnormal data on the machine's detector.
The Dream Weaver, the Dream Weaver, could only use its machines to know about this … fear energy.
It was soon surprised to find that the fear energy had almost covered the entire world, and fear had spread to the minds of all creatures.
This led to a large-scale extinction of creatures because no creature would have the thought of reproducing in the face of fear.
Except for a small group of creatures.
That was … those churches.
Those churches were still gathered around the floating pillars, and there was no fear around those pillars. It was as if the fear was dispelled when it got close.
The Dream Weaver, the Dream Weaver, also noticed this phenomenon, so it began to study this group of creatures.
Originally, it wanted to rebuild those collapsed pillars and continue to use them as dream carriers, but because it found a lot of materials elsewhere, it didn't care about these pillars.
The Dream Weaver, the Dream Weaver, found that these floating pillars formed an independent Dream Space.
This Dream Space wasn't big, but it blocked the surrounding fear energy, so that the fear energy didn't affect them.
The Dream Weaver, the Dream Weaver, was very interested in this phenomenon, so it planned to do more research.
But just when it wanted to do so, it found that the fear energy began to …
Devour its Dream Space. (To be continued.)
