Don't … jump in there. Don't jump into that big sandpit …
Why did we set off in the first place? I really don't remember. In short, we experienced a magical journey.
The world that first appeared in front of us was a sparkling world. The entire world was like a beautiful gemstone. The ground was made of crystals, and everything was sparkling. There was no dirt, corpses, or … excrement. This was a beautiful world without any 'filth.' It felt like a world from a myth or legend.
However, this world wasn't as beautiful as the legends said.
No food could be stored in this world for too long. It would disappear automatically. Perhaps it was because our food was made of animal or plant corpses. The time it would disappear was different. Sometimes, it would be for a long time. Sometimes, it would disappear quickly. In short, it was very difficult to store any food here. I also couldn't imagine how the creatures here could survive in a world without corpses.
In short, we couldn't survive.
Later, we arrived in the second world. This world was the complete opposite of the previous one. There were a lot of … things that the previous world didn't want. They piled up like mountains.
Although it wasn't as beautiful, I have to admit that it was easier to survive in this world.
It was relatively easy. In fact, life here was very difficult. After all, most of the fragments here were rocks, metals, and other things that couldn't be eaten.
We kept trying to find a way to go back, or at least a way to leave this place. Later … we found a door.
We thought that this place could save us, so we thought of all kinds of ways to come in. However, after coming in, we found that … this was an abnormal place.
"Although this place is very spacious and I've been walking for a very long time, I've encountered very few things. There are only a lot of soft, slug-like creatures that are active here and there.
Then, there were the green sandpits. These sandpits recorded the peak species, and the small sandpits showed the recorded species.
The big sandpits attracted creatures to jump in and record them, becoming the peak species … When we first arrived, we thought that it was the root of all problems. Then, we jumped in without thinking … That was what my companions did.
In fact, that was what I thought at the time. I thought that after jumping in, it would be like touching a door, sending us to a new place in an instant.
But that didn't happen. My companions quickly crawled out of the sand, and there were many strange places on their bodies … Their mouths were missing.
It was as if a layer of meat had grown on their mouths. Their original mouths seemed to have disappeared, so they couldn't speak. Of course, they couldn't eat either.
Because I had something to do, I didn't jump in with them. Later, I was glad that I didn't jump in with them … Then, we had no other choice.
Because there was no way to go anywhere after jumping into the sandpit, and no matter what, there was no way to go back through the original door. Although the door still showed the scenery outside … there was no way to leave no matter what.
Only then did we realize that we were trapped here, and the biggest problem was not me, but my companions. They couldn't eat because their mouths were sealed, and they soon died of thirst and hunger one by one.
When they died, I found that the … slugs had gathered. They ate up the corpses of my companions, but they showed no interest in me.
After that, I was the only one left. I wandered in this vast cave. Because of the death of my companions, the food they left behind could sustain me for a long time. I kept looking for a way to leave this place.
But this place … No matter how long I walked, the scenery was the same. Occasionally, there would be some sandpits that recorded species or attracted me to jump in.
I knew the result of jumping in, so I didn't go near any of the sandpits. Later, I found that the appearance of my companions was recorded in a sandpit.
Had they become … the pinnacle species? Weren't they all dead? Back then, I thought that we had ended up like this because we weren't recognized.
My escape journey had another goal, and that was to find the answer. I wanted to find the answer to why my companions were recorded as the pinnacle species.
Who would give me the answer? I thought that the 'voice' that appeared occasionally would give me the answer. I kept chasing it, trying to find where it was.
However, this' voice 'appeared directly in my mind, and there was no way to find its exact location. Therefore, I wandered around without any destination.
When I was about to finish my food, I finally found … where that thing was.
As he approached it, the voice in his head became even stronger.
So, I asked it, and it told me many things …
I asked it about my companions, and it said … they had indeed become the pinnacle species. The moment they jumped into the sandpit, they were considered pinnacle species.
However, the sandpit didn't have the function of sending them anywhere. Those … 'slugs' had a similar function.
In its words, 'slugs' weren't called slugs, but 'digestive particle transfer device' … it should be called that.
In short, the function of those 'slugs' was to completely decompose the objects they came into contact with. Then, in a very distant place … there would be a similar device that would reconstruct the objects that the slugs had decomposed.
It said that this way, the creatures here could be transferred to that place and become the pinnacle species.
However, my companions must have died first before being eaten by the slugs. Therefore, they weren't transferred.
Moreover, even if they were eaten alive, they would have been digested here and would not have been transferred to the other side …
However, it didn't tell me the real reason. It only repeated that my companions had become the pinnacle species …
Therefore, I researched the detailed reason myself.
I discovered the specific process.
The function of those sandpits was to deprive the creatures that jumped in of food or other abilities, making it easier for them to die. Then, their corpses would be decomposed by the slugs, and this species would be recorded as the pinnacle species. Perhaps it had created an identical individual somewhere else, but the creatures here were definitely dead.
As for why they didn't directly kill the creatures that jumped in, and instead made them struggle for a while, I didn't know.
However, I wanted to leave this record and tell all the creatures that came in.
