Boom!
The roar of the explosion resounded under the dark red sky …
The world with countless piles of waste was covered by a large shadow. Countless swarms of insects descended from the sky and began to sweep through this world.
However, there was almost no resistance in this world. There were only frightened creatures. Various small creatures wandering in the waste piles began to flee in panic because of the arrival of the swarm.
However, the swarm did not target them … The swarm would only attack things that seemed threatening, such as the civilization of the pinnacle species.
There did not seem to be any pinnacle species here. The sea of waste seemed to have spread to the end of the world, and countless wild creatures wandered in the countless wastes.
Some of them fled in panic, while others were still looking for food. The swarm swept across the sky and did not find any suitable targets.
In this case, they could only look for the target that had been set long ago.
A large number of Void Cockroaches landed on the ground and kept digging in the sea of waste piles. Their target was … the thing buried deep underground.
There were also some insects that separated. There were a total of 1,000 of them, and they flew into the distance. The appearance of these insects also looked like Void Cockroaches, but there were some differences. Each of their limbs was densely covered with cilia that could be used as sensory organs. They sensed the surrounding environment …
They could feel that there was a mysterious' force 'in this world. This force was trying to interfere with their nervous system, forcing the memories and emotions in their nervous system to become blurred.
The swarm followed this force and flew to where it was and decided to completely destroy the target of this force.
As the swarm continued to fly, the sky above the swarm darkened.
This was the characteristic of the abandoned world. Only one side of it would face the light, and the other side would always be in darkness and relative coldness.
It was said that the darkness and coldness did not make creatures scarce. Instead, they bred larger and denser creatures. Perhaps the creatures of this world liked the darkness.
And that mysterious force … was also hidden in the darkness.
At the same time, on the other side …
"Previously, the coordinates of the abandoned world were sent to the swarm … The time the swarm took to reach the abandoned world is faster than expected." Cryopteris and Blood Mist were in a place called an underground port. Cryopteris, who had just received the latest news, said to Blood Mist, "The swarm should be here very soon. The creatures here … all feel danger."
In front of them was a vast circular space. Under the walls of the space, there were various kinds of flying machines. Many creatures crowded around those machines and tried to squeeze in.
Although none of the creatures knew that the insect swarm was coming, the large army of Primordial realm experts gathered in the surroundings of the Mirror World and the peak species that were constantly selected before going extinct told the creatures here that something huge was about to happen.
Therefore, they all wanted to escape.... but where could they escape?
"They want to leave this place," the Roaring Beetle said to the starfish in front of them, "Can they leave this place?"
"No." The starfish said, "Every aircraft here can only fly to a nearby circular platform. They don't have the right to fly further away."
Boom!
Suddenly, a flying machine not far in front of them was activated. The wall slowly rose, and the flying machine under the wall shot out like a cannonball, disappearing into the void outside. Then, the wall slowly closed again.
"The moment they became peak species, they were fated to live here forever," Starfish said. "No matter what happens, no matter how they develop, it will be the same …"
"They haven't realized that yet …" Starfish said. "So they all want to leave."
"Don't you want to leave?" Blood Mist said. "Don't you want to live?"
"I've already said that this question is meaningless …" Starfish said. "We'll keep working here until this place is destroyed. Although I don't want this place to be destroyed, I won't do anything outside of work. You've visited this place, so what do you want to do next?"
"Next …" Cryopteris looked at the square filled with panicked creatures and said to Starfish, "We want to move on our own. Is that okay?"
"Of course, that's not a problem. But you might be in danger if you move on your own. Call me if you need anything." Starfish seemed to be very easy to talk to. He walked away, leaving Cryopteris and Blood Mist there.
"This doesn't seem to be the place to put that 'device' …" Blood Mist said to Cryopteris. "And there might not be that device here. If there is, it will affect these creatures, and they won't want to escape."
"Not necessarily." Cryopteris said. "The creatures that want to escape are only a part of them. There are many that don't want to escape … but they don't seem to be here. We should go somewhere else."
Then, Cryopteris turned and walked to the exit of the port. They took the elevator and came to the surface.
On the ground, which was the middle of the circular platform, the circular platform was roughly divided into three levels. The middle level was the residential area, the lower level was the docks and the like, and the top level was the stargazing area. The Roaring Beetle now believed that …
"Maybe we need to find the device in the residential area … and follow them."
The Roaring Beetle pointed at two creatures that walked past it. The two creatures looked like moas from the pompom. They were different from the creatures that tried to escape towards the dock. They seemed to be eating and chatting as they walked happily.
In fact, that was mostly the case here. There were creatures running in panic on the streets, but there were also creatures that wandered around leisurely, ignoring the panic around them.
This phenomenon made the place look very strange. Occasionally, the creatures that wandered around would clash with the panicked creatures, but it was obvious that … the panicked creatures mostly came from one side of the city, and the calm creatures came from the opposite side.
Based on Cryopteris and Blood Mist's way of distinguishing, the panicked creatures came from the west, and the calm creatures came from the east.
Therefore, Cryopteris decided to follow the two moa-like creatures to the east. Cryopteris thought that the calmer these creatures were, the more suspicious they were.
Soon, Cryopteris followed them to a large building.
"This seems to be one of the most likely places … The life-distorting device might be here."
There were many entertainment buildings on the east side of the platform. Although the creatures there were different species, they were similar in size, so many of the buildings were accessible to all creatures.
This building was the largest entertainment building on the platform. Cryopteris and Blood Mist had seen the information about it before, but they did not know the details.
They only knew that most of the creatures were gathered here.
The building was in the shape of a large square. There were many large and small entrances around it, and many creatures came in and out of these entrances.
"Let's go in and take a look." Cryopteris and Blood Mist walked into the nearest entrance.
The moment they entered, they heard the door close behind them with a bang. At the same time, their surroundings were plunged into pure darkness.
In fact, it was not that pure because Cryopteris and Blood Mist could see each other, but they could not see anything else.
"What's going on here?"
Just as Blood Mist was about to ask, it suddenly heard a voice …
"Welcome to the development simulation zone." The voice sounded very … gentle, or at least Blood Mist thought it was very gentle.
"Now, you can choose your starting location and development mode, and …"
Before the voice finished, Blood Mist asked, "What is this place?"
"This is an area that can simulate the development of species. You will choose a species to develop here. You don't need to act as your own species. You can act as any species and use that species to defeat other competitors in competition. If you leave halfway, all the information will be saved until you come back again."
"So … this is a game?" Blood Mist said. "It is very similar to the games in the dream … So, the reason so many races come here is because they are all playing this game."
"I detected a friend of yours nearby. Do you want to talk to it?"
"Friend?" Blood Mist was shocked. "Who is this friend?"
Beep! Just as it asked the question, an image popped up before its eyes. The image showed … the appearance of a scorpion.
The scorpion was stunned for half a second before yelling at Blood Mist, "Ah! You stupid Dragon Head of Death! Why are you still alive? "
Blood Mist was furious. "Gah! I'm the one who wants to ask why you are still alive! You should be missing! "
"Why are you here?" Cryopteris asked. "You seemed to be on a platform nearby."
"That's right!" Scorpion said. "I went to a place where I met many idiots and obtained valuable information. Then, I found a place to board a boat and came here. I wanted to find you and confirm whether this dinosaur is dead or not. Then, I saw many idiots coming in and out of this building, so I came in to take a look. After I came in, an idiot asked me to play as a race …"
