Bush-type creatures were ancient creatures.
However, it was still unclear what their origins were.
It could be a creature like an absorption stone, or it could be something else.
As for Formless, it was also an ancient creature.
It also had some knowledge about the Bus Creature.
In fact, it didn't have a chance to use this knowledge until … it discovered the model of the desert.
Formless's perception of the surrounding space was much stronger than mud creatures. When the model of the desert moved in this direction, it sensed the approach of the desert.
Formless could directly sense the environment in the desert because the desert used to be part of the Void Tunnel. Formless could directly sense the things in this space.
In the process of its perception, it noticed that there were some wonderful things in the sea of sand.
That was … a 'consciousness'. The moment it sensed it, Formless … realized that it was in its knowledge.
This had to be explained from a long time ago.
In the past, when the Void Tunnel collapsed, almost the entire tunnel was separated into small spaces, and these small spaces further turned into fine fragments that drifted in the void.
Bush-type creatures were the users of these spatial fragments. The fine space was a form of teleportation energy for them … They could use these fragments to teleport. This was the sandball guardian's idea.
Formless had another … explanation for this situation.
When the Void Tunnel collapsed, creatures like Formless were trapped in a small, independent space.
They also noticed the birth of Bush-type creatures.
Formless believed that it was the fragmentation that caused the appearance of the Bush-type creatures, and not the Bush-type creatures using the fragmented space.
This was because there was a special type of creature in the Void Tunnel. They could be called 'spatial consciousness creatures'.
This type of lifeform … could be said to only have a brain structure. Their brains were somewhat similar to Dreamscape energy, a type of ethereal … 'energy' that could be spread over a large area. It was formless and essentially similar to this type of lifeform.
However, that wasn't entirely true, because Formless had a part of 'substance'.
When the Void Tunnel collapsed, Formless believed that the spatial consciousness creatures hadn't died, and their consciousness was still stored in the fragmented space.
It was this fragmented consciousness that led to the birth of the Bush-type creatures.
Formless didn't know what the original Bush-type creatures were, but it believed that they were creatures that could shrink space, or absorbing stones.
Formless also knew about Absorption Stones, because they could 'absorb' space, causing the surrounding space to shrink.
However, after the collapse of the Void Tunnel, Formless had not seen an Absorption Stone for a long time.
The bus-like creature had appeared out of nowhere, but this gave rise to an invisible … guess.
It believed that the bus-like creatures evolved from absorbing the stones.
The Void Tunnel collapsed, and the Absorption Stone continued to absorb the small fragments into its body.
Some of the small, fragmented spaces stored the consciousness of certain sentient beings.
Under the influence of some unknown reason, these fragmented spaces that stored consciousness affected the environment inside the absorption stone … and formed some special tissues inside.
This was the earliest bus nervous system.
However, there might not have been a physical nervous system in the beginning. Instead, it was these fragmented spaces that contained consciousness that operated within Bastille's body … The thinking, physical nervous system might have been born later due to certain factors.
As the tissues in his body changed, the Absorption Stone slowly became different from the creature that only knew how to eat.
They began to develop … intelligence and more complex behaviors.
His usage of teleportation was also slowly improving.
However, Formless still didn't know the reason for their 'evolution'.
However, Formless believed that it was the clever combination of the Absorption Stone and spatial consciousness that gave birth to the bus-like creatures.
Originally, when the sentient beings in the Void Tunnel found that their consciousness was affected, they could leave the area or think of some way to kill the beings that affected them.
However, after the collapse, they could only be trapped in the small space and could not do anything, so they could only be absorbed.
Most importantly, these fragmented consciousnesses were not complete. They might only have a small amount of thinking ability.
However, it still caused some strange changes within the Absorption Stone.
In any case, this was Formless's guess. Although Formless could sense the surrounding space that originally belonged to the Void Tunnel, it could not sense the situation within the fragmented spaces within Bastille's body. Perhaps those spaces were too small, and Formless could only slightly … sense their existence, so it could only guess the situation within Bastille's body.
Later, the bus-like creatures' range of activity became wider, and they rarely appeared near Formless's space.
Thus, Formless's observation of the bus-like creatures ended.
Until … now.
Now, when Formless sensed the Sand Sea, it discovered … a very ancient feeling.
In other words, there was a bunch of fragmented spaces gathered in one place, and through careful sensing of these fragmented spaces, it discovered that these spaces … would respond to it.
Formless found that its sensing ability was very similar to these fragmented spaces.
Although the Tunnel Brain and the Sand Sphere seemed to be in a similar state, there was only one thing that Formless could sense most clearly.
That was … Ershi's consciousness.
Through direct contact, it obtained a lot of … information from Ershi's consciousness.
Lin found this place … very interesting.
If Formless's guess about Bastille's evolution was correct, then Ershi had actually …
'Primordified.'
Because what Ershi wanted to do before was to turn its consciousness into an Eternal Observer state like Midgard.
However, it did not turn into that state. Instead, it turned its consciousness into the most primitive thinking structure of Bastille, which was the fragmented space state.
Did this count as a failure? Or was it a success in some sense?
After all, Ershi was not Midgard, and it could not become an Eternal Observer, but this primordial thinking state might be similar to that state in some ways.
However, what Lin found strange was why Ershi would respond to Formless's senses, but not to Lin's.
However, this response did not seem to be a communication response, but a reaction similar to 'being touched and then being shocked.'
Of course, there were other strange things as well.
In any case, after Formless learned about Ershi, it created some special units.
For example, the Ershi Min -shaped mud that Lin saw was created because of this.
