"What is a miracle?"
"It has always affected us … affected everything about us."
"Because we might be one of the miracles."
This was a legend that had existed for an unknown period of time.
There was a legend about the creatures in the mud.
These creatures were originally a species that lived in the Void Tunnel. Later, for various reasons, they left the Miracle Creatures that they had been following.
The reason for their departure … was a mystery.
As for why they left, they did not record this reason. They only recorded … the many miracles that the Miracle Creatures had created.
Although there was no reason for them to separate from the Miracle Creatures, the mud clearly recorded all the miracles created by the Miracle Creatures.
But at first, it was just a record. They did not do anything.
Until … a long, long time later.
The population of the mud had undergone countless changes, whether it was the place where they lived or their habits … Their body structure had also undergone various changes over the years.
At present, their way of life was like this … Generally speaking, the 'foundation' of the mud was very large.
This mass of mud was usually tens to hundreds of kilometers in size. They were often called 'ancient mud'.
It was the mud that had lived from a long time ago to the present. All kinds of knowledge and memories were of course recorded in this huge body.
However, they could not retrieve their own memories as easily as other creatures. Instead, it was like visiting a museum. They needed to 'read' it more slowly.
There was a strange feeling. These mud usually did not think that these memories were their own. Instead, they thought that they were looking at records left behind from a very ancient time.
And they did not care much about these records. They did not value the past as much as other creatures with personalities.
Sometimes, they would question the accuracy of some memories. At that time, they would remove this part of the memory and replace it with a new one.
Sometimes, they simply did not like the memory and removed it.
Therefore, throughout history, the ancient mud had modified their own history countless times. Therefore, they did not record their own … origin.
The only two things that did not change were their 'language' and their records of miracles.
The various miracles created by the Miracle Creatures had always been clearly preserved by each ancient mud and had never been modified.
Perhaps it was because these records of miracles had never been questioned by them.
As for the 'language', they had also learned it from the Miracle Creatures. They had always recorded this way of communication.
But apart from these two, other histories could be said to have been overturned and reshaped by them countless times.
They did not know what their origin was, and the recorded history was not correct.
To be precise, the records of each ancient mud were different … This was because they liked to modify the records.
As for the Ancient Mud … they relied on their descendants.
The juniors were mud that was much smaller than them.
The mud was split off from the gigantic ancient mud body, and every time it was split off, the little mud would be … assigned some memories.
Although the split mud worked differently, the contents of their memories were relatively similar.
They would all think of themselves as … a new generation that needed to continue to accept missions from their seniors to complete and grow.
These missions had a lot of content, from simple activities such as exploring or collecting food to activities such as blowing up an entire world. During these activities, the mud would continue to grow.
Of course, suicide missions wouldn't be common, but there weren't many of them.
After growing to a certain size, the initial little mud would become 'seniors', which were the individuals that Lin called the Mud Lords.
Once the little mud monsters sent out by the Overlord had completed enough tasks, they would return to the Overlord. At that time, the Overlord would …
'Reward' them.
In other words, it would devour them.
Then, the Overlord would release another batch of little mud monsters and have them carry out missions and repeat the process.
The Overlord would constantly release little mud monsters and devour the mature ones to allow itself to continue to grow.
In the end, after the Overlord had grown to a certain extent, it would return to the Ancient Mud … and be devoured by it.
This was their ecological process.
In fact, the mud monsters that did not split off could truly grow, and they would all return to the Ancient Mud in the end.
After the Ancient Mud devoured the returned mud monsters, it would be able to obtain all the memories within, as if everything the mud had seen in the course of its life.
The Ancient Mud also continued to grow in this way.
They never reproduced, after all, every little mud monster that split off would eventually be recovered.
However, it was said that some little mud monsters outside … if they got lost and couldn't return, there was a slight possibility that they would continue to grow and eventually become as large as the Ancient Mud.
What was more interesting was that the little mud monsters that split off didn't know that they would be devoured in the end.
They all thought that they would grow stronger and stronger in the end.
That included the Mud Lords. Although they were doing the process of splitting off and devouring little mud monsters to grow, they didn't know that they would be devoured when they finally returned to the Ancient Mud.
Perhaps they had suspected, but it was said that … there had never been a lump of mud that had truly resisted this fate.
At the same time, they didn't just release mud monsters. The little mud monsters created by the Mud Lords usually had a parasitic function.
If they encountered a suitable creature, they would parasitize this creature and control its nerves. The parasitized creature would … treat itself as a part of the mud. In the end, it would also return to the Overlord to be devoured.
Of course, this was the mud … it was a recent ecological habit. It was said that they weren't like this at first.
There were a lot of Ancient Mud monsters, but they didn't interact much with each other. They just lived their own lives of raising little mud monsters. It was only when there were some important matters that they could contact their own kind.
The Ancient Mud monsters usually didn't move much, but by constantly splitting off little mud monsters to explore everywhere, they also knew a lot about various things in the void.
Because nothing had hit their population, they had been living very peacefully.
Until … a miracle appeared.
The miracles left behind by the miracle creatures a long time ago began to appear one after another.
These miracles that appeared caused them a huge … crisis.
