All the structures were broken down and reconstructed in front of the Scholar's eyes.
The sound of machinery and metal colliding was constantly heard. Soon, these things no longer looked like buildings. They looked more and more like a pile of dense mechanical structures.
The Scholar could not tell what these structures were used for, but she could feel a strange energy flowing in them.
The assembly slowly came to a stop as time passed. The last assembly allowed the Scholar to see a smooth and shiny golden passage leading straight up. There was an opening at the end of the passage, through which the Scholar could see the sky outside.
It looked like a cannon barrel, and the ammunition in the cannon barrel was the thing that looked like the golden pumpkin next to the Scholar.
It had not changed since the beginning. Now, it just stayed at the bottom of the pipe, as if it was going to be fired at any time.
However, that was just the Scholar's feeling. She did not know what these changes were for. What was certain was that the whole 'ancient city' had become a huge machine.
"This is incredible! This is the power of the ancient civilization! The whole city is a huge machine. Although I don't know what it is for, it belongs to us! "
Suddenly, the Scholar heard a voice. She turned around and saw a … spiny pufferfish walking out from the side of the pumpkin and looking around excitedly.
Perhaps it had rolled here during the assembly process, and it seemed to think that all these changes were part of the ancient civilization's equipment … Although that was not surprising.
"Who are you? Why are you here? "The spiny pufferfish was shocked when it saw the Scholar." Why are you still alive? "
"I …"
"Woo!!!" The Scholar was about to say something when she heard a low and loud sound. The spiny pufferfish had fallen to the ground while covering its auditory organs in pain.
Although the Scholar did not fall to the ground, she still felt very uncomfortable. At the same time, she saw that the golden pumpkin was emitting a rather … dazzling light. The originally golden pumpkin became even brighter.
"Is it really going to be fired?" Just as the Scholar thought so, the whole machine made up of the city trembled as if there was an earthquake.
…
In the nearby void, the beetles that were pulling meteorites, the countless insect troops that were flying in the void, and the void cockroaches that were digging on the ground all looked in the direction of the mirror world at the same time.
"This feeling …"
In the space station built by the Void Cockroach, the Cryopteris also raised its head. Although it was blocked by the wall, it could not help but look in the direction of the Mirror World. "It feels weird …"
"Something …" Scorpion also looked in that direction and said, "flew out."
"Huh? What's wrong with you guys? "Blood Mist looked at them and asked.
"Shut up, you idiot."
…
Back on the surface of the Mirror World, the huge golden machine that looked like a flower bud was still on the Mirror Plain.
It didn't seem to have changed at all, and it was the same inside. The golden pumpkin didn't fly out. It was still in its original position. The Scholar and the Spurred Pufferfish were still in their original positions. They didn't move at all, as if they were stunned. That was because …
Something did fly out just now, and that thing was … the Scholar.
To be more precise … it was its' consciousness'.
"What is this? How could I … "
A scholar's field of vision contained countless stars.
These stars were constantly moving at an extremely fast speed … No, the Scholar realized that it was moving at an extremely high speed.
Its speed … seemed to be much faster than light, so it could easily fly from one star system to another. Countless stars were receding at high speed, and the Scholar was rapidly shuttling through the void.
The Scholar was not the only one shuttling through the void. It also found some other … creatures.
They were the civilized creatures that the Scholar saw in the golden city, including the Spurred Pufferfish. Most of them were motionless as if they were unconscious. Only one Spurred Pufferfish woke up and was looking around in horror.
At the same time, the Scholar also found that they were riding on … a strange thing flying at high speed. To be precise, it was a mirror.
This mirror was round and about 30 meters in diameter. It was large enough to carry these creatures and fly at an extremely high speed, carrying them through the stars.
Of course, the Scholar did not think that they were really traveling through the stars. It was just a dream, but this feeling was … very real.
This mirror seemed to be flying with the star system as its stop. When it arrived at a star system, the Scholar could see a large number of tumblers and dazzling stars passing in front of it in an instant. Then, the mirror flew to the next star system as its target.
Although the speed was extremely fast, the Scholar could clearly see the scenery on the way. He could see the details of every world in the star system. Every place was very different, as if they were all real.
At the same time, the Scholar began to recall … why was he here? It seemed that the giant machine formed by the city had been activated, and then … launched him?
"This is that …"
When the mirror passed by another star system, what appeared in front of the Scholar was not the next star system. Instead, it was a huge darkness. The surrounding stars had all disappeared, as if everything was covered by this darkness, except for the mirror that the Scholar and the creatures were riding on.
"Ah …!" Suddenly, the Scholar heard a sound coming from beside him. He saw a creature next to him let out a terrible cry. The darkness around the creature spread to its body and slowly wrapped around it.
Then, the creature disappeared.
"What's going on?" When the Scholar asked this question, he saw that the same thing had happened to the other creatures. One by one, they were surrounded by a large amount of darkness and disappeared.
The Scholar was in the same situation. He noticed that the darkness was slowly creeping onto his body. At the same time, he felt a considerable amount of pain.
It was as if some kind of force was trying to tear him in half. Only then did he understand why the creatures around him were screaming in pain.
"This is a function to remove impurities." However, at this moment … a voice appeared in the Scholar's mind. At the same time, the pain disappeared.
"Impurities …?" Because the painful memory had not completely dissipated, the Scholar could not react.
"That's right. You and the other creatures are considered impurities mixed in with the mirror. Therefore, it will remove you. As long as you are not considered impurities, there will be no problem."
"In other words …"
When the Scholar came to his senses, he saw that the darkness around him had disappeared. The stars once again appeared in front of his eyes. It was as if everything had returned to normal.
However, now, there were only two creatures left on the flying mirror. One was the Scholar, and the other was … the Spiny Pufferfish.
For some reason, the Spiny Pufferfish was fine. It seemed to be frightened by the scene just now. Now, it was curled up in the middle of the mirror.
Perhaps the Spiny Pufferfish was a creature that released the contents of the Void Cockroach, so it was not considered an impurity? This was indeed a possibility …
Accompanied by the Scholar's imagination, the mirror took him and flew over one star system after another.
This journey lasted for a very long time. To be precise, it was more than a thousand seconds.
The round mirror had already flown past quite a number of star systems. The Scholar had even seen a lot of strange things during this journey, such as huge cylindrical objects, giant flying objects that seemed to be living creatures, some large-scale explosions, and all kinds of void sceneries.
However, none of these things would affect the scholar as much as the darkness did.
Finally, the mirror stopped.
It did not stop in a star system. Instead, it stopped in the Void … in a wandering world.
The surface of this world was grayish-black. It seemed that there was nothing special about it. As the mirror slowly descended to the surface of the world, the Scholar could see the surface of the world clearly.
"Is this … mud?"
Mud … or at least, something that looked like mud appeared in front of the Scholar's eyes. It spread as far as the Scholar could see. The Scholar did not know if the entire world was like this, or if it was only in this area.
Looking up at the sky, the sky was covered in dark clouds. It seemed that this world had air, but the Scholar could not feel it. Whether it was when he flew in or now, the Scholar did not feel any environmental information, such as temperature and air.
However, the Scholar could still feel … gravity.
In fact, there had always been gravity. The Scholar felt it when he rode on the mirror, which allowed him to stick to the mirror and not drift away.
When the mirror flew into this world, the gravity did not change. Now, the mirror was only one meter away from the ground. After hesitating for a moment, the Scholar jumped down and landed on the ground.
'Crack!'
The soft feeling of the ground and the gray liquid that splashed up told the Scholar that it really was mud.
The Scholar did not think too much about the composition of the mud and the liquid. Instead, he ran in a certain direction because he saw something standing in the mud in the distance. It looked like a tree branch.
"Where are you going?"
When the Scholar ran two steps, the Thorny Pufferfish on the mirror shouted, "Why are you running out?"
"To explore, of course," the Scholar said. "Aren't you coming?"
"Why should we explore?" the Thorny Pufferfish said. "If we stay here, it will send us back!"
"Send us back …"
