"That world … has so many resources … has so much light … there must be no war …"
In the end, they all perished.
Whether it was the two-limbed creatures, the floating creatures, or most of the Light Chaser creatures.
Their populations dissipated one by one. They could not continue to pursue what they pursued.
Only a creature like 'Snowlight' survived.
Snowlight called this incident the 'Great Extinction of Fireworks.' Although it was also because of the war, one of the main reasons for the extinction of all creatures was the 'torches.'
When the Light Chaser creatures were at war, their troops certainly needed to be in the anti-solidification light. So, some soldiers were required to wear torches.
Generally speaking, torches were very precious resources. Both sides of the war would avoid attacking torches so that they could obtain them after the war.
Although it was not explicitly stated, most races followed this rule and tried not to attack the torch-wearing enemies.
Because torches were very difficult to reproduce, it could be said that every time a torch was destroyed, there would be one less. It was difficult to replenish them. Therefore, although eliminating the torch-wearing soldiers could quickly destroy the enemy, they rarely used this method.
However, the scale of this war was more tragic than previous wars. The races involved in the war no longer followed the rules.
Many species set a precedent. They began to directly attack the torch-wearing soldiers of the other side to achieve the goal of quickly destroying the opponent.
In this war, they had destroyed an unprecedented number of torches, which led to a situation that was unfolding before their eyes ….
A large number of torches and the corpses of the Light Chaser creatures fell on the battlefield together, but these torches were not completely dead.
Their remains began to emit a large number of fine particles.
These particles could float in the solidified environment and be perceived by the torches that were still alive.
When the living torches sensed it, their bodies would trigger a self-protection mechanism. They would end the anti-solidification field and enter a state of deep sleep.
This was actually a natural protection mechanism of the torches. When a large number of their companions died, they would immediately stop all their current activities and enter a state of hibernation.
This was usually used to fight against 'natural disasters.'
Because there were too many dead torches, the particles they emitted were perceived by almost all the torches that were still alive.
When all the torches entered a state of hibernation, all the Light Chaser creatures also fell into a state of solidification. These species … were destroyed.
Except for Snowlight.
Snowlight was a special creature … Snowlight was a species that couldn't be parasitized by torches.
The main reason was that they didn't have a suitable body part for torches to live on. The Snowlights had always been capturing 'torch slaves' to maintain their population. They often captured other species to become torch slaves.
If there were no slaves, they would perish.
Of course, Snowlight had long noticed that they could not rely on slaves, so they began to think of ways to let the torches live on their bodies.
They had tried to dig out their own flesh and feed it to the torches as nutrients. They had also dug out wounds on their bodies for the torches to live on.
These effects were not very good, especially those that dug out wounds on their bodies. If they were parasitized by the torches, they would die very quickly.
However … there was one Xue Guang who succeeded.
This Snow Light dug a hole in its head and let the torch parasitize it.
This snowy light didn't die as quickly as the other snowy lights. Instead, it survived.
It also indicated to its companions that it could sense the torch's … emotions and hear its words.
This made the snow-lights extremely shocked. Many snow-lights imitated it and dug holes on their heads for the torches to live on.
Then they all died.
Some didn't even let the torches live on them and died as soon as they dug a hole.
Later, after investigation, Snowlight found that the only successfully parasitized individual was a bit special.
The position of its internal organs was a bit strange. This made it unable to eat very well and its movement speed was relatively slow.
Simply put, it was a deformed individual.
But this deformed individual had the ability to survive even if there was a hole in its head.
As for how it sensed the torches' emotions, Snowlight didn't study it.
But they didn't care so much. Later, they specifically looked for this kind of deformed individual … The probability of birth of a deformed individual was very low, and it was not inherited. This was a purely random phenomenon. It could be due to the environment or something else. In short, Snowlight didn't know.
They would test each newly born snowlight to see if it was suitable for the torches to live on. If it was, they would cultivate it with all their strength and then open a hole in its head.
In this way, Snowlight didn't need other species to help them with the torches.
These deformed individuals were very … strong.
Compared to other species, they could reach a symbiotic rather than a parasitic relationship with the torches. The torches wouldn't continue to absorb their nutrients until they died.
Although they consumed more energy, which meant they had to eat more food, a snowlight could live to the end of its life with the torches. This was a rare phenomenon among other species.
This seemed to be mainly because these deformed snowlights had the ability to communicate with the torches.
And in the later extinction event, they also survived through this ability.
It was said that the deformed snowlight communicated with their torches, so that these torches didn't enter dormancy.
Therefore, their population could survive …
But after the extinction, they couldn't hold on anymore.
This was mainly because they couldn't find food.
Although they explored the territories of other species, they found that food and other things were all gone.
What was left were some inedible objects, such as buildings.
At the same time, they didn't see other creatures.
When the Light Chaser creatures entered the solidified state, their bodies remained in their original state.
They would only shatter instantly when they entered the anti-solidified environment again.
In other words, after the extinction, Snowlight explored everywhere with the torches … It should be able to see creatures shattering everywhere.
But when Snowlight explored, it didn't see the shattering of other creatures, nor did it see any fragments. They were all missing.
Snowlight didn't have the strength to study why.
In the end, Snowlight wandered on the snowfield. The deformed individuals that needed a lot of food fell first, and their population slowly died out one by one.
Finally, until the arrival of Phoenix.
