The rest of the story … Lin had pretty much figured it all out.
The flesh creatures they encountered here were actually … flower creatures.
When it first came into contact with the Void Empire, it seemed to get along quite well.
Mainly with the Void Empire.
After the flower and the Void Empire came into contact, they got along quite well.
The Void Empire did not know the flower's' true face ', they only thought of it as a powerful branch-type species.
This was mainly based on the analysis of the battle between the mining airship and the flower.
In fact, the reason the Empire sent a warship here was to test what kind of creature the flower was. If it did not respond … then the Empire would treat it as a target that could not be communicated with and could only fight.
But it responded, so the Empire treated it as a partner … and started a long-term business relationship.
At first, the flower did not know what the Empire … was, but slowly through the process of communication, it began to understand the general situation of the Void Empire.
It was very interested in the Void Empire, so it used the minerals in its territory to trade with the Void Empire for some things it was interested in to research.
Airships were also one of the things it was interested in.
And during this period, the flower itself was slowly 'evolving'.
It had been trying to change the large amount of flesh it controlled, but it was not clear what exactly happened. In short, it became the form that Lin saw now. They could quickly devour the substances around them and grow.
As for the flower's neural structure, it was in the form of a large piece of flesh at the center of its territory.
After getting along with the Empire for a long time, it closed its territory and reduced direct contact with the Empire …
Because it found that it understood the Empire more and more, and it found that it was becoming more and more 'ambitious' towards the Empire.
It believed that it could … conquer this huge Empire.
This might be because the Empire was mainly made up of a large number of individualistic creatures, and it believed that these individualistic creatures had been … constantly scheming against each other. The Empire seemed huge, but in reality, it was easy to use certain methods to break it apart and collapse.
The flower believed that it had the possibility of winning.
And it had always had a wish, and that was to revive its own species.
And controlling the Empire might allow it to achieve this wish.
Although it did not know how it wanted to achieve it … in short, the flower soon began to act against the Empire.
Its communication with the Empire became less and less in the later stages. Not only did it make the Empire feel more and more mysterious, but it also made it … difficult for the Empire to discover its plans against the Empire.
Of course, all of this failed.
A swarm of stabilizing bugs appeared out of nowhere and attacked the brains of all the pieces of flesh, which were the neural structures of the flowers.
This potential threat to the Empire was … dealt with just like that.
But it was a little different from what Lin knew.
That was because the stabilizing worms didn't completely destroy the brain. Instead, they left behind some of the brain's structure.
Then, the stabilizing insect would mix the brain's remaining structure with some other materials to create … or rather, restore its' original appearance. '
It was the flower-shaped creature that Lin had caught. It was a creature made from the nerves left behind by Meatloaf's brain and many other materials.
He didn't know why the stabilizing bug was doing this. Perhaps it was planning to use it for something special.
Although it looked exactly the same as the original flower creature, there were many differences in its abilities.
It was as if it had more spatial abilities. It could directly affect the surrounding space.
Just like now, it was blocking the advance of the sand model.
It also had many other abilities that Lin was still investigating.
This flower creature … was very interesting to Lin because it had gone through many changes. At first, it was modified by the manufacturing device. Then, it was destroyed by the Empire to form a new life form. Now, it was modified again by the stabilizing bug.
But the only thing that hadn't changed was its mind.
At first, the microbes used to temporarily command the flower's brain were modified by the manufacturing device. They thought of themselves as … the flower itself.
And after a long time, these microbes had completely fused with the flower's brain.
They could be said to have … grown together.
At first, these microbes thought of themselves as the flower itself … but they still lived as independent creatures around the flower's neural structures.
Later, these microbes used some method to … dissolve themselves.
They had some self-dissolving ability. They only did this because they thought they could move around, and not because it was strange for their neural structures to grow together.
And so, they lay on the neural structures and dissolved themselves.
The nutrients left behind by the self-dissolving process were absorbed by the flower's neural structures. Only after that did they truly fuse.
In short, the flower's thought process was the same as the microbes'.
This was the case even after being modified.
Even after the stabilizing bug modified it, its thought process still didn't change. That was why it had always hated the stabilizing bug that modified it.
At the same time, it could no longer control the pieces of flesh around it. But its thoughts and memories remained. That was why Lin could learn about the various things that happened in the past through its memories … and the history of the flower creature.
After a detailed understanding, Lin believed that the large flower worlds she saw … what Lin believed to be … the 'Third Realm' were actually all created by the manufacturing device.
They might have created two, or even more of these flower worlds.
The one that Lin believed to be the Third Realm that was thrown into the star of Phoenix might also have been created by the manufacturing device. It wasn't the Third Realm, but a replica.
The various information Lin learned about the Third Realm might have happened to these replicas.
If that was the case, then what was with the synchronized operation of the three flower worlds?
Could it be that one of the flower worlds created by the manufacturing device synchronized with the pompoms and the Ancestral Land?
But that didn't seem right.
Because the replica flower worlds weren't created that long ago.
They synchronized even earlier … before the collapse of the void tunnel.
Could it be that one of the flower worlds created by the manufacturing device synchronized with the pompoms and the Ancestral Land?
But that didn't seem right.
Because the replica flower worlds weren't created that long ago.
