"You … want to find that legendary world?"
"The world you call the 'Third Realm'?"
"You should know that there has never been a Third Realm."
"What you can find … are countless imitations … they are all imitations!"
It was a legend from a long, long time ago.
There was a legend about a creature that roamed the void.
The creature's body was like a flower, and they had always lived … in the Void Tunnel.
They moved about in the Void Tunnel like plankton, drifting about and collecting food.
They never had anything special to do, nor did they want to do anything special.
But there was something special about them. These flower-like creatures were said to have a huge ecology.
But they weren't huge.
These flower-like creatures were no more than ten meters in diameter, and because they lived … leisurely, they were usually not noticed by other creatures.
However, among the creatures that had existed for a long time, there were still some creatures that noticed them and began to … observe them.
The most special thing about these 'flower-like creatures' was the ecology on their bodies.
Their bodies were dozens of meters in size, but they had an extremely complex environment. On each of their 'petals,' there were tens of thousands of creatures, and these creatures had smaller creatures living on them.
They formed a very complex ecological relationship with each other, and the creatures on each petal were 'independent'. These creatures rarely intersected with the creatures on another petal.
The main reason was that the spaces between the petals of these creatures were actually their … feeding organs.
These feeding organs could produce a powerful 'energy,' which made it difficult for the creatures between the petals to come into contact with the creatures on the other petal.
And why they had such a complex ecology was a mystery. It might have been a coincidence.
But this was very special. Although there would always be many creatures living on the bodies of drifting creatures, there would never be as many as flowers.
Perhaps only something as huge as a Star Bus would have so many creatures living on its surface.
For a long time, only the flower-like creatures themselves knew about this ecology, and they never cared.
Until a certain time.
By chance, a creature noticed the situation with flowers. It might have caught a flower at first, but it was soon attracted by the complex ecology on the flower's skin.
"This is a miracle. Is this a miracle that happened out of countless coincidences?"
It is said that this was the thought of that creature at the time.
Then, it began to study flower creatures. The goal of its research was to find the source of the complex ecology of flowers.
By observing the way the flowers usually lived and where they went, the creature came to a conclusion.
That was' impossible '.
Although flowers were drifting creatures, they still moved within a certain range.
No matter how it calculated, it was impossible for the flower itself to 'naturally' produce such a complex ecology. There must be other factors.
So it delved deeper into the details of the flower.
This included the various structures within the flower, as well as the details of each species within it.
Then it came to another conclusion.
The flower was a type of 'withered', which meant that the flower was once a very large creature.
They had experienced something that caused them to shrink to their current size. When they were originally huge, there were many creatures living on them. These creatures also experienced something that caused them to shrink to their current size.
Although it didn't know how it came to such a conclusion, it was certain that its conclusion was correct.
Thus, it came up with an idea. It wanted to restore the flower to its original gigantic form.
Then … it began to torture the flower for a long time.
What the creature did was very simple. It tried to use various methods to make the flower bigger.
For example, adding layers of shells on them, or stuffing them with large amounts of fillers … It tried all these methods that had almost no effect.
Why was it able to do such detailed research, but only using such … childish methods?
Later, the creature left because of some other matters. It couldn't continue to study the flower.
But it left behind something that could continue to study the flower in its place. That was … a monster called 'Devour'.
'Devour' was called that because its main function was to eat flowers.
From the moment it appeared, it kept hunting down every flower it encountered, then ate it, and … decomposed it in its body.
This was the creature's last thought before it left.
It probably thought that if it couldn't increase the size of the flower with simple methods, then it would crush them all and gather them together. This way, it would become bigger and bigger.
As long as it ate all the flowers, the 'Devour' would become quite large. This could be considered as restoring the flower's original form.
Facing the 'Devour' that kept hunting and killing the flowers, the flowers were initially powerless to resist.
'Devour' itself was shaped like a shark, with a length of hundreds of meters. It could move at high speed in the Void Tunnel environment and had the ability to quickly discover flowers.
It was a creature that was … designed to grow infinitely by devouring flowers.
This also made the creature that created 'Devour' even more mysterious … If it could create such a thing, why did it use such a … childish method in the beginning?
In short, the attack of 'Devour' could not be stopped by the flowers.
The flowers themselves weren't very aggressive. Although they had enough intelligence and knew how to escape, it was still meaningless.
But 'Devour' didn't complete its task of devouring all the flowers in the end.
This was mainly because some species in the complex ecology of the flowers had ended it.
The species on the flowers were no bigger than millimeters. Most of them were microscopic species that were like cells or smaller than cells.
But even among such small species, some had realized the truth of the world.
Simply put, what kind of existence was the world they lived in, and what kind of powerful abilities they had developed.
These creatures were about the same size as cells.
Of course, they weren't cellular creatures. But they were one of the few creatures that could cross the gap between petals and even talk to the same species on different flowers.
