This place seemed to be what Shirahoshi called … the edge.
However, Shirahoshi, who kept saying that she would come here, was nowhere to be found.
Perhaps she had also fallen into the fog, or perhaps … she had already arrived here.
In any case, Lin decided to explore this place for now.
The environment here was quite interesting.
Earlier, Lin's velvet ball 'rode' on the thundercloud to reach this place. After reaching this place … the big thundercloud slowly pulled the little thundercloud that it was pulling into its body.
Lin had the velvet ball let go of the little thundercloud, and the velvet ball fell to the ground.
At this time, the big thundercloud had already flown away, and Lin was paying attention to her surroundings. This place was quite similar to Ershi Min's graveyard.
Many semicircular stone slabs that resembled tombstones were erected everywhere. These stone slabs were one to six meters tall, and they were scattered all over the surface of this place.
Between these 'tombstones', there were also many Extinguished Phoenixes.
The Extinguished Phoenixes here appeared to be even more … miserable compared to the ones they encountered in the fog. The Nothingness within their bodies was so weak that they could not even crawl.
These Phoenixes all stayed where they were, occasionally struggling and flapping their wings.
If they stayed here, their bodies would become weaker and weaker until they completely lost their Nothingness and turned into a pile of ordinary dust.
Lin did not know why the Phoenixes became so weak here … but there were some creatures in this place that would not weaken. Between the 'tombstones', there was another type of creature besides the Extinguished Phoenixes.
This type of creature was called an 'iron wire ball' because it looked like an iron wire ball with a diameter of half a meter.
These creatures could extend the 'iron wire' within their bodies to move on the ground. There were many of these creatures walking around here.
Occasionally, they would step on the Phoenix, causing the Phoenix to scream out in pain.
However, they would not actively harm the Phoenix. It appeared that these creatures were just wandering around idly.
Lin's velvet ball was in a similar situation.
Lin wanted to know … where the 'connecting point' of this space was, but there were only these endless' tombstones' and these strange creatures.
The sky was filled with a thin fog, and occasionally, some large creatures could be seen … such as the thundercloud flying above.
They never seemed to care about what happened below … so Lin didn't pay much attention to them.
The pom-poms slowly floated above the tombstones. As Lin moved forward, she discovered that the fog here had also become thicker.
At the same time, some creatures that Lin was familiar with appeared.
They were … whirlwinds.
These whirlwinds were very small. Lin saw some small vortexes a few centimeters in size floating between the tombstones.
Without a doubt, they were whirlwind creatures. It seemed like there were many similar creatures here. If that was the case …
"There you are!"
Suddenly, Lin received … a 'voice'.
This was not a white star, but a red paste.
After Lin and Red Pulp split up, they didn't exchange much information … Because Lin occasionally tried to wake Red Pulp up to communicate, but Lin found that Red Pulp was in a deep slumber.
Now, it seemed that it had also come here.
Lin noticed that Crimson Pulp was crawling between the tombstones. As it crawled, it kept making 'sounds'. "You've come to this place as well … Seems like you've understood everything."
"Understand what?" Lin asked curiously.
"This was once the Land of Distant Connection." Crimson Pulp said, "That is why so many creatures are trying to return home. There are even more here."
After saying that, Crimson Pulp suddenly turned around and crawled in another direction.
Seeing that, Lin followed after it and asked, "What are the creatures trying to return home?"
"Do you feel it?" Crimson Pulp said, "This place …"
"Feel it …?" After Crimson Pulp finished speaking, Lin carefully sensed the place. First, she discovered that … there was no Phoenix here.
Although this place was similar to the tombstones from before, there was not a single Extinguished Phoenix on the ground.
This was in stark contrast to the scene from before where there were Extinguished Phoenixes everywhere.
At the same time, Lin also discovered that there were a lot of … dust fragments in the air.
The dust fragments appeared to be swirling in a large area, like a weak stream of air.
"You noticed it, right? This is that creature … it is very weak."
So that's how it is. Lin also discovered that … the swirling stream of air was a whirlwind creature.
More accurately, it was a whirlwind creature that was on the verge of death. Its cohesion was similar to that of a Extinguished Phoenix, very weak.
Additionally, Lin was unable to discover its core. However, after carefully sensing it, she could sense that this' stream of air 'was formed from nothing.
"Some of them are waiting and dying here," Crimson Pulp said, "Some … are trying to live here."
Crimson Pulp continued to explain in detail.
It believed that this place … … was naturally a part of the void tunnel.
However, it was somewhat special. This space had once connected the void tunnel to another place. Its main purpose was to act as a passageway between the two places.
It could also be called … … the 'Path of Homecoming'.
The reason for its name was … … many creatures had once passed through this space and arrived at the void tunnel.
After the collapse of the void tunnel, the creatures that entered the tunnel became lost in the normal void or various small, fragmented spaces.
Most of the creatures that survived would live and reproduce in the normal void … … they would forget where they came from.
However, as long as these creatures had the opportunity to approach this space, they would 'awaken' some of their … … distant memories.
They would remember where they came from and that they did not belong to the normal void.
After that, they would attempt to enter this space and return to their homeland through this space.
Thus, this place should be called the 'Path of Homecoming'.
For example, the Phoenix and the whirlwind creatures here … … they were creatures that were close to the 'Path of Homecoming' and suddenly awakened … … ancient 'memories' within their bodies. They attempted to return to their homeland through this space.
In other words, this place should have been connected to … … the Unforeseeable Lands.
Because the Phoenix and the whirlwind creatures should have come from there.
However, almost none of the creatures that entered this Path of Homecoming were able to return to their homeland.
Just like what Lin was seeing. After entering, the Phoenix creatures became weak, as if they were about to be extinguished.
The same was true for the whirlwind creatures, just like the one Lin was seeing now.
They had all attempted to return to their homeland, but all of them failed.
