This was a story from a long, long time ago … no, not that long ago.
We never knew that our world was alive.
Everyone who first learned of this news, regardless of who they were, was shocked, followed by all kinds of uneasiness.
What would this bring? A new war? Or something else? Would this living world cause any harm to us? Was it dangerous? Almost all of us thought the worst of it.
But what we didn't expect was … a journey began.
The familiar starry sky that had accompanied our civilization disappeared, and our world took us on a long journey through the void.
Why did we take this journey? It didn't say anything.
Although this world was alive, it never communicated with us, but we tried to communicate with it in various ways.
Although it lost its star, this world miraculously didn't lose its light and heat, and we continued to develop here.
But we soon ran into a problem, because there was no place to explore nearby, and the original resources of this world were constantly being used up, which created some … obstacles to our development.
Until a certain time, a group of great researchers reached the depths of the earth, and they claimed to have found a 'seed.'
This seed was called the seed of the world, and it was said that it could 'plant' a new world. Later, the researchers gave it a more … popular name.
Then … the world's journey continued. It continued to move through the void, and we saw different stars every day.
At some point, it suddenly stopped, and it stopped … in a place filled with broken rocks.
This place was very large, and there were countless broken rocks, which meant that there was a lot of space for exploration and countless opportunities.
We moved quickly, and we obtained a lot of resources from the broken rocks, and we built some colonies on some stable rocks.
But our world was preparing to move again, and every time it moved, there would be some 'signs' that we could detect.
So, a small number of us decided to stay, but most of us decided to stay in our original world, and didn't want to stay in this broken rock.
But we still decided to stay, and develop our civilization in this place with countless resources and possibilities. And we weren't separated forever, we had a new way of communication, and even if the world left … we could continue to stay in contact.
After watching our world leave, we began to develop here.
However, the reason why we have the confidence to develop here is because of … them.
The team of researchers who first discovered the seed joined our development team, and they were all top scholars. With these guys, we were very confident.
In the beginning, the seed wasn't used, and our colony was mainly built on some rocks, but we soon ran into various problems … we found that the rocks here weren't 'stable' at all.
They would always collide or flip over, and although some could be stable for a long time, they wouldn't last forever.
After a large colony was destroyed in a collision, we started to think of many solutions, and we thought of pushing some rocks far away, living inside the ship, or building a space station far away from the broken rocks.
"These ideas were good, but our leadership team decided to do something that everyone thought was … … unreliable.
That was to plant the 'Seed of the world'.
Although this seed had such a name, everyone doubted whether it was really the seed of the world. And even if it could really … grow into a world, how long would it take?
Although there were all kinds of doubts, the leadership team insisted on carrying it out, so we had to do it.
At first, we thought that we would have to place the seed of the world in a suitable place around the nearby star 'Alpha', but they said that we had to place the seed in the center of the broken rocks.
And, they really did that.
But what we didn't expect was that something strange happened. In a very short time, the seed began to grow like crazy.
It looked like a plant that was constantly growing. Every day and night, it would be bigger than before. It coiled and swallowed the broken rocks around it, as if grinding them up as nutrients.
Therefore, the seed of the world was called 'Zank', which originated from the story of Zank.
In fact, I think it's more appropriate to call it the magic bean, but everyone called it Zank, so I called it that.
This was a story even more incredible than a fairy tale. It was originally just a … seed with a diameter of about ten meters, but after a short period of time, it grew to more than ten kilometers long.
But it didn't grow out of thin air. It had been swallowing the stones around it, as if they were food. According to a member of the leadership team, this' Zank 'was a part of our original world. It could be said that it was … a child.
So, when Zank grew, our world would also send nutrients to it through some special methods.
This allowed it to grow rapidly, and its branches extended into countless stones. At this time, the leadership team … said that we could live on it.
We were still very confused about this. Wouldn't it squash our colonial buildings like squashing stones?
But … in the end, we built a colony on this Zank. We found that the buildings could be built very stably on it, and there was indeed no danger. At least, there was no danger for the time being.
Although some of the members didn't want to live on it, most of the members, including me, decided to live on this magical plant.
Through testing the plant, we found that it was different from any creature we had ever known. In fact, we weren't sure whether it was a creature or not, at least not in the usual sense.
During this period, we also kept in contact with our original world. Over there … they almost didn't believe in this plant.
It was no wonder, but through mutual exchange of technology, we had been developing together.
But compared to them, our development here was more interesting because we encountered some creatures.
The first thought we had when we encountered alien creatures was that there was going to be a war.
