'White Paste' was a very wondrous thing. Lin now knew that it was a type of nutrient structure that contained the energy needed by many creatures. Lin had once relied on consuming this type of food to grow, and there seemed to be a considerable amount of it in the water. However, as more and more creatures began to appear, the amount of White Paste decreased, and it could no longer be found in the ocean.
Later on, creatures began to consume other creatures in their vicinity and no longer relied on White Paste to survive.
But why was it in the creator's nutrient storage room? Could it be …
Lin immediately had the red pompom search the area. Soon enough, Lin found an olive-shaped organ about a meter tall in the middle of a pile of White Paste. This organ had many small holes on it, and white fragments were constantly being ejected from these small holes. After these fragments were ejected, a type of microorganism would collect them and pile them up, forming the White Paste that Lin saw around her …
And this organ wasn't just here. Lin discovered that this organ was everywhere around her. After Lin had some red pompom drill into it to conduct a preliminary investigation, Lin guessed that this organ was a 'converter'.
Lin believed that after the tree trunk absorbed land creatures, all the nutrients would be transferred to a deeper part of the ground, where they would be crushed, compressed, decomposed, and transformed. After going through multiple steps, these nutrients would be turned into white paste.
She didn't know why the creator did this. Perhaps it wasn't only for itself, but also to 'feed' other symbiotic creatures. This was because symbiotic creatures had a very high absorption rate of White Paste. Generally speaking, symbiotic creatures would only be able to digest a portion of the food they ate. Another portion would be turned into excrement and released. But if they ate White Paste, they would be able to absorb most of it without producing any waste. This energy efficiency was especially good. For example, eating a 1 kg piece of White Paste was the same as eating a 10 kg piece of meat.
Still, it was quite wondrous that the creator would create something like this. Lin felt that she should carefully study how it was created.
But the current situation was a bit strange. The creator was continuously creating White Paste, and a large number of Sword Fleas were continuously transporting the White Paste. This wasn't a normal situation at all.
Furthermore, while Lin was searching, she also discovered a few other strange things on the ground. A large number of microorganisms were active on the ground here, and Lin had seen some of these microorganisms before.
But what he saw wasn't alive, but … a fossil.
Lin had seen these microbes in fossils before. At first, Lin wasn't sure if they were living creatures or not, but after seeing them in real life, she was certain.
As for that fossil … it came from a meteorite.
It was rare to see fossils in meteorites, but Lin had indeed seen them before. But why would there be living microbes in this place? Could it be that the fossils found in the meteorite were not real fossils? Instead, it was petrified by its creator like a fungus?
But that stone had just fallen from the sky … Could it be …
More than that, Lin noticed that the structure at the base of the tree and the structure of the room where the white paste was stored were not a common material. In fact, its composition was similar to some meteorites.
In that case … Lin could almost imagine what kind of creature its creator was. As expected, it was no ordinary creature, and its origin was likely quite unique … and if she studied its structure, she might be able to discover its origin.
But where should he start his research?
At present, these 'meteorite microbes' were responsible for transporting and placing the white cream here. They were also responsible for cleaning the white cream discharge so that it would not clog up. It seemed that they had no other purpose.
'Let's see how it produces the white cream first …'
Lin had the smaller red velvet balls drill into the organs that made the white paste, then followed the tubes inside to observe the internal structure and conduct research at the same time.
Sure enough, this was a huge organ. The structure that released the white cream on the outside was only a part of it. Deeper inside, there was an even more complex structure.
Deeper inside, this organ was continuously transporting large amounts of nutrients. Lin noticed that these nutrients seemed to be 'raw materials'. They were made up of the remains of various living creatures. These raw materials were compressed in a huge sac-like object and decomposed by a large number of microbes.
Lin noticed that these microbes were the same as the 'meteorite microbes' outside, but they had a different function here. They seemed to be the key organism in the production of the white cream. They devoured the raw materials and recombined them.
This process was quite interesting, and she needed to study it carefully to understand its process.
Meanwhile, some of the red velvet balls continued to swim deeper. Lin wanted to see the complete appearance of this organ. This organ was quite large. Lin noticed that it was at least a few dozen meters long, and there were many of them. The red velvet balls in the middle found that this organ also had the function of absorbing raw materials. Most of the raw materials were absorbed by this organ, and only a relatively small portion was sent down to be made into white cream.
This white cream seemed to be specially provided for the symbiotic organisms, and the creator directly ate the raw materials. Indeed, the creator's digestive ability was much stronger than the symbiotic organisms …
Apart from the sword fleas, there were many other symbiotic organisms in the creator's body. Some of them were difficult to identify, but they had many uses.
However, what Lin was most concerned about was the absorption rate of this organ. It was constantly transporting raw materials from the bottom and was absorbing them at an insane rate. Lin believed that the 'Creator' itself shouldn't need so many nutrients, as it had already consumed enough nutrients when it awoke, and these raw materials should be stored for later use.
But why was it still absorbing the nutrients? Lin had some red pompom balls track the nutrients that were being absorbed. Finally, she saw that the nutrients were being transported to the nearby roots underground. As the roots absorbed the nutrients, they began to grow even further. The number of cells in their bodies continued to increase, forming more and more muscle-like structures, while their bodies also began to grow.
They continued to grow by absorbing the stored nutrients, and there might be hundreds or even thousands of these organs that absorbed nutrients underground!
Could it be …
Seeing this, Lin thought of a possibility. So the 'destruction' that the sword flea's brain mentioned was referring to this? Because Lin destroyed the brain, for some reason, the creator began to absorb its own stored nutrients without restraint, and then its body began to grow rapidly.
If this went on … the entire continent would collapse because of this … This was simply too far-fetched.
