The ground was made of crystals, reflecting a faint light.
The main source of the light came from … a machine called the Scholar lying on the ground.
It was lying on the ground in a strange posture. One of its hands was stretched out, aiming at the spinning crystal sphere in the center of the space.
There was an opening in the palm of the Scholar. It seemed that it was about to launch something at the sphere, but now … the launch was interrupted.
Because … it had fallen asleep.
On the other side, the scorpion that had run out of the underground cave and almost out of the ruins was in the same situation. It was lying on the street of the ruins of the small town, sleeping on the ground.
Because there were no living creatures nearby, they were not awakened. Their plan to destroy the sphere had ended just like that …?
At the same time, on the other side …
"It seems to have entered a dormant state. Let's test it like this."
This was the world of the Pompom, where the Scholar's' main body 'was. A ball of fluff was floating beside the Scholar's main body. It stretched out a fluff and poked the Scholar's head slightly.
…
"Where is this place …?"
The Scholar felt that it was floating in the air. Colorful lights flashed around it, and it could hear the sound of waves.
"Is this a dream?" The Scholar's mind had such a thought. At the moment when it thought of this, the scenery in front of it suddenly became clear. Countless lights gathered together to form a huge scene.
In the scene, huge buildings stood tall. Living creatures walked back and forth between the buildings. It looked like a city.
This scene only lasted for a few seconds. Then, with a 'pop' sound, it shattered and disappeared.
However, the broken pieces quickly gathered together again, forming another scene. In this scene, the scholar saw huge flying objects flying in the sky. These flying objects were connected by bridges, and there were many different kinds of creatures traveling back and forth on the bridges.
"This is …" This scene lasted longer than the previous one, so the Scholar had time to ask questions.
"This is a civilization of living creatures. A civilization that has been recorded." A voice suddenly answered the Scholar's question. The Scholar turned around and saw a ball of fluff flying beside it.
"… Lin?" The Scholar Scholar's astonishment was reflected on her face. It was not only because of the pompom's appearance, but also because … it had been a long time since she last talked to Lin.
"You were affected by it and fell into a deep slumber … But you can take this opportunity to 'peek' into their world." The pompom disappeared instantly after saying this.
Although the Scholar did not have the time to ask questions, it suddenly realized that there was a lot of information in its mind.
This information was mainly about recent events, such as the reason why it suddenly came to Serenity Town. This was related to … Lin.
Although the teleportation system of the Primordial realm was rather complicated, it could still be solved. Lin had used a method called connected teleportation to send the Scholar here. The main process was to connect the Scholar to the teleportation system of the Primordial realm.
As for the scorpion, there was no mention of how it came to be. Perhaps it had nothing to do with Lin.
The following information was related to the current situation … Now, the scenery before the scholar's eyes was changing. They continued to gather and shatter, and the scene was different every time.
In each scenario, there would be many different creatures gathered … and these creatures were all creatures with civilizations.
They were all … at the Primordial realm.
Afterwards, the scholar discovered … a description. This description mainly talked about the Primordial realm.
… … …
The world of the Primordial realm was a vast world of crystals … Their world was originally very similar to the world of pompom, suitable for … cellular creatures to live in.
Then, for some reason, the crystal fungi arrived in this world. They multiplied on a large scale and slowly affected the entire world, changing its appearance …
In the crystallized world, many creatures lived and grew in the environment changed by the crystal fungi, forming a new ecology. Among them, some creatures with higher intelligence or stronger creatures were born, and they formed a civilization. "
However, there was not just one type of civilization. Many civilizations appeared in this world, and they fought with each other, leading to the destruction of all of them in the end.
However, before long, new civilizations appeared. Some civilizations were gathered from the remnants of the previous war, while others were completely new. No matter what, they fought with each other again.
Right now, in the world of pompom, the creator was devouring the creatures of the dinosaur continent over and over again. The world of crystals had also experienced many wars between civilizations.
There were victors and losers in these wars, but the difference between the two was not great. This was because the victors would always pay a heavy price, resulting in their victory being unable to continue.
It was like a battle between two cellular creatures. One had its head bitten off, while the other had its abdomen slashed open. Perhaps the one with its abdomen slashed open would live longer, but in the end, it could only face destruction.
The Primordial realm was born from these countless battles. There were no precise records describing how they came to be. Perhaps they were weapons created by a certain civilization, or perhaps they had some other origins. However, the Primordial realm was free. They were not bound by anything, so there was a saying … that they came to be 'naturally'.
They possessed a certain characteristic, and that was … imitation.
They could imitate any creature they had seen before. They could imitate their specific appearance, their techniques, and everything else.
In the beginning, the Primordial realm was a group of … inconspicuous creatures. After they appeared, not many creatures paid attention to them. However, they always reproduced everywhere and travelled the world, learning from various creatures. Afterwards, they did something rather major.
That was to build a city on top of the ruins of a civilized city. This city was exactly the same as the ruins, with only a few minor differences.
Their actions attracted the attention of other civilizations. At that time, two civilizations were at war. When they first noticed the Primordial realm, they thought that the destroyed civilization had suddenly revived.
However, they did not care too much, as they felt like the Primordial realm could not threaten them. They still focused on the war before them.
However, the revival of the Primordial realm did not stop there. They used certain methods to excavate the ruins of the destroyed civilisations before rebuilding them. They basically recreated everything from the previous civilisations perfectly.
When the two civilizations noticed that there were more and more Primordial realm experts, the Primordial realm was already powerful enough. They began to attack the two civilizations.
The war lasted for a very long time. The Primordial realm did not possess a great advantage in the beginning, but they could imitate the appearance of the two creatures very soon and fight according to their thoughts.
In the end, the Primordial realm defeated the two creatures. They became the only 'complete victors' in the Crystal World's history because they had paid a relatively small price, so they could continue to develop.
The Primordial realm spread across the entire world very soon and modified it into what they wanted. However, it was basically … no different from before.
This was because the Primordial realm was special. Although they were skilled at imitating, that was all they could do. They could not create or invent.
When they imitated a creature, they could completely learn their thoughts. They could basically think of everything that the creature had thought of in the past.
However, they did not possess the ability to come up with new ideas. No matter how the creatures imitated by the Primordial realm thought, they could only think of old ideas.
Although they seemed to want to expand, they did not have the ability to invent. They were a group of very … strange creatures, which was why they called themselves the Primordial realm.
They knew very well that they did not have a 'self'. They could only imitate the appearance of other creatures.
As a result, they wanted the world to continue producing new civilizations, so they did not make any drastic changes to the world.
The ecology of the Crystal World remained the same, so it was possible for it to produce endless civilizations …
Afterwards, after many encounters and developments, the Primordial realm had reached their current level. They had become relatively powerful, but they were no longer as … free as before.
Their development to this point had a lot to do with a special 'creature'.
That creature was … the Transpirator.
… …
"Ah!" The Scholar suddenly opened her eyes. She looked around … She discovered that she was still in the crystal cavern. At the centre of the cavern, the sphere was constantly spinning.
She seemed to have woken up, but she had not finished reading the information …
The Scholar had learned a little about the development of the Primordial realm from the information Lin had given her, but there was even more information later on. The Scholar had woken up before she had finished reading it.
Although she had not finished reading it, she still had to continue destroying it.
With that in mind, the Scholar raised her hand and aimed at the spinning sphere again. And then … Bang!
The Scholar's palm opened like a blossoming flower, and a warhead flew out from it and landed beside the sphere. Then, the Scholar quickly ran out, and on the surface of the warhead, a series of numbers appeared that kept going backwards.
Although the Scholar was not afraid of death, she did not want to die so easily. That was why the warhead had a countdown timer. That way, she would have enough time to run away.
If the sphere did not continue to explode and make her fall asleep … She did not want that to happen.
The Scholar quickly ran past the pile of bones from before, out of the underground cavern, and into the ruins of the town outside. Very soon, she saw the sleeping scorpion on the street. She grabbed the scorpion and ran out of the town.
