"This great project … was once seriously damaged."
"But its ruins are still here."
A ball of fluff was floating in a place surrounded by countless dust particles.
Most of the dust particles emitted a faint glow. They surrounded the ball of fluff like a swarm of fireflies.
The pompom was currently communicating with these creatures. These creatures looked like luminous particles, which was why Lin called them 'Luminous Fireflies'.
They seemed to be the only native creatures that lived in the Dust World with relatively high intelligence. They had lived here for a very long time.
Although the Luminous Fireflies were good at emitting light, they did not usually communicate with light. Instead, they used a more … complicated method.
Now, the ball of fluff was spreading out its fluff. The tiny Luminous Fireflies were attached to the fluff. Lin could feel that … the Luminous Fireflies were placing many tiny substances on Lin's fluff.
This was their specific method of communication. They communicated by transmitting particles that were about the same size as viruses.
This method was very complicated. Each particle had a different meaning. However, Lin had already understood the Luminous Fireflies' specific method of communication through Po Yan Recorder. She could now communicate with them.
Lin would let the cells on the ball of fluff arrange the particles in a different direction and transmit them back. This way, they could communicate with each other.
Lin originally wanted to communicate with the Evaporators, but they did not respond to her messages. So, she asked about these native creatures here.
Although the Luminous Fireflies transmitted a lot of information, they were basically expressing the same meaning.
They were expressing that they were also … worshippers of the Evaporators.
The Evaporators had once … promoted their great project here. At that time, the Luminous Fireflies here also 'worshipped' the Evaporators.
However, they were not used by the Evaporators like the other creatures of the Church. Instead, they still lived here and recorded the great miracle of the Evaporators and passed it down.
Even after witnessing the destruction of this great miracle, they never stopped worshipping the Evaporators. Until now …
Now, they told Lin that there were still some structures left in this Dust World. They said that they could show Lin the way and let her take a look.
The Luminous Fireflies were very … passionate. This seemed to be because they wanted to show their faith in the Transpiration. They felt that this was something to be proud of.
There used to be other creatures with higher intelligence here, and the Luminous Fireflies had preached the Transcendent faith to them. However, those creatures seemed to have slowly gone extinct or disappeared, leaving only the Luminous Fireflies living in the dust.
However, Lin wasn't too sure what kind of creature the Luminous Fireflies were. They seemed to be a type of 'creature with no fixed personality'.
A single firefly had no intelligence, but when they gathered to a certain size, they would have intelligence and personality … However, when this group was separated into two groups, they would have two different personalities.
To put it simply, they could gather together to form a collective mind, and they could also disperse into multiple small groups to form multiple individual minds.
These creatures were quite interesting. Now, the pompom was glowing like a ball of light as it slowly flew towards the direction they were pointing at.
Previously, she saw in the records that after the Transpiration was destroyed, they pushed the remaining fragments far away. The Luminous Fireflies told Lin that the Transpiration had pushed some of the fragments into this Dust World, which was why she could still see them.
"We're here. It's here."
The Luminous Fireflies attached to the pompom gave it a large number of tiny particles to express their thoughts. At the same time, Lin's pompom also saw … a huge wall in front of it.
The wall was made of metal. After passing through the dust, it suddenly appeared in front of the pompom. Because of the dust around it, there was no way to see how big it was.
However, Lin could see that it should be a part of the project. A fragment should be at least a few hundred meters or a few kilometers in size.
Lin first checked the composition of its surface. This was quite interesting. It was a mixture of materials. Although the surface looked like metal, the structure was … not bad, no matter what.
Lin felt that the next time she built a warship, she could refer to the structure of this wall.
Speaking of which, it … should be a large island-like structure. With that in mind, the pompom flew up the wall.
After flying for about a kilometer, the pompom flew to … above the wall.
Sure enough, it was an island. At least, it was shaped like an island. What appeared in Lin's vision was a vast land with various kinds of buildings.
For some reason, the dust here was very sparse, so she could see the general appearance of the island.
The buildings here … looked very ordinary. They were square buildings, each one was about a hundred meters tall, and looked like they were made of metal. However, they did not have windows, so she could not see what was inside.
"Have you studied this place?" Lin asked the Luminous Fireflies on the pompom. They also responded with tiny particles. For a long time, they did not enter the buildings here. They only protected them.
Their faith in the Transpiration was very deep, but they also said that they did not mind entering these buildings with Lin.
However, they also said that they could not harm these buildings, because these were the remains of the Transpiration's great … project. At some point in the future, the Transpiration might need to take them back.
So, this place must be protected.
While communicating with the Luminous Fireflies, the pompom flew to the island and stopped in front of a … building.
Lin now wondered if it was a building. Not only did it have no windows, but it also did not have an entrance. It seemed to be different from the buildings that were commonly seen in living creatures.
Instead, it was some kind of strange metal structure. However, she still called it a building.
The pompom flew to the foot of the building and knocked on the outer shell of the building. Lin felt that the inside was hollow, and …
"Boom!"
A loud sound was heard.
The thing that Lin called a building suddenly became like … … a missile. Accompanied by a loud rumbling sound, it shot upwards. Soon, it disappeared amidst a large cloud of dust.
