It had … been a long time. The creatures that Lin was familiar with had changed generations.
The Emerald Dragons were the same. Every generation inherited the throne from the previous generation. Other dragons did not have the chance to become king. The Skeleton Dragons followed the ancient method of having their members train in dreams and compete in reality. Only those who stood out could become the leader.
Every king had a different personality. They could cause the decline of their species, or they could make their species flourish. But no matter what, they would always be replaced …
And the first king of the Emerald Dragons, the one who created their way of life — Susumi, was still watching over them.
Although she was living in a dream, she could still clearly see her city … or rather, her 'kingdom' growing and expanding. Seeing all these changes, her thoughts were all jumbled up, but in the end, she felt at ease and calm.
Lin did not create a soul. Until now, she had not researched whether such a thing existed. If she wanted to research it, Lin believed that she would need a new method of exploration.
A method of exploration that surpassed sight, smell, perception, hearing, and even brainwave perception. Or a method that was more subtle than the current one. Lin believed that she would find a new method sooner or later.
Compared to finding a soul, it was much easier to keep Susumi's thoughts.
She used a method called 'brain remodeling'. Lin had the Brain of Dreams devour an Emerald Dragon's brain and decompose all of its components before remodeling it into a new brain.
To be precise, it was not the same as a normal brain, because all of its structures were remodeled using brain components. Lin used extremely small tentacles called 'cell tweezers'. The tip of the tweezers could pick up extremely small things in the cells. Lin had discovered many things that were even smaller than viruses. But she had not named them yet.
After that, Lin used countless tiny 'tweezers' to piece together the new brain. Because she had seen the structure of countless brains before, Lin was able to piece together a new brain perfectly. The process was quite complicated, but it wasn't that much harder than creating a new type of soldier because of all the components inside. Lin was very familiar with the bonding method and composition.
Moreover, it was not made from Lin's cells, so it was not a part of 'Lin'.
However, it was still a living thing. It could transmit brainwaves like a brain and operate like an original brain. Now that the brainwaves of the Emerald Dragon were injected into it, the transfer was complete.
To put it simply, a dragon's thoughts were transferred to this new 'brain'.
After the brainwaves were injected, the new brain reacted and started to move. At this time, it still had the original memories and thoughts. After all, the composition and brainwaves of this brain were originally reconstructed from the Emerald Dragon's brain. But unlike the original brain, it no longer had a lifespan limit.
When Lin reconstructed her brain, it was basically the same as before. The components inside were not completely decomposed. Some small parts were directly added, but some small parts were modified so that the cells inside could be replaced and kept updated.
In reality, brain cells could not be regenerated, they would slowly die and disappear as they aged. However, Lin discovered that changing the number of cells in a small number did not affect the overall state of mind, thus ensuring the creature's survival.
Lin currently had this brain attached to the Brain of Dreams. The nutrients were directly provided by the Brain of Dreams, and the thoughts inside could live forever in the Dream World.
Of course, Lin could also use the same method to create a new body for the Emerald Dragon. She could even give it a different form of body … This seemed very interesting, but she had no plans to do so at the moment. After all, it was not necessary. Moreover, this was different from the original purpose of studying souls. This thing had nothing to do with souls …
Now, Lin had only allowed a few dragons to enter the Dream World, including Susumi, Liddle, and another dragon.
If Lin had studied this earlier, Tucker would have been able to enter the Dream World as well …
At first, Susumi felt that this was inconceivable, while Liddle was very excited and excited.
Lin thought that if there were souls, things would be more interesting. Now, Susumi and Liddle were constantly in the Dream World, watching their species grow … and change.
The territory of the Emerald Dragons grew larger and larger, and they built a large number of buildings. The kings were also constantly changing. When some of the kings were in doubt, they would enter the Dream World to seek Susumi's advice.
In the beginning, Susumi was very concerned about all of this. She would often advise the new kings on what to do. However, after a long time, Susumi became much calmer. She observed more places instead of immediately running over to ask the new kings what to do …
She observed the various changes in the city and thought about these things. She would not give advice to the new kings so easily. Only the Emerald Dragons that could pass the 'trial' were qualified to meet Susumi.
There was a lot of content in the trial, not just physical, but also mental and other aspects. These were all things that existed in the Dream World, but not many Emerald Dragons were willing to participate in these trials. Susumi would try to use these trials to train the dragons.
As the number of Emerald Dragons increased, and when they were about to occupy the forest in the valley, Lin had them stop breeding.
She did not stop them completely, but she wanted their productivity and mortality to be the same.
This was because no matter how much time passed, the outside world would still be a world of ice and snow. Lin could also try to build a bigger house, but as long as the outside world was still as cold as before, it would be meaningless no matter how big it was.
The place where the Emerald Dragons lived was not entirely their own. Many places were used for planting, so they were now living in a crowded place. The more crowded it was, the more problems there would be. When these Emerald Dragons felt the pressure, they would not want to breed anymore.
After Lidl entered the Dream World, he had a different reaction …
When he arrived, he immediately wanted to look for Tucker and the other dead dragons, but he did not find them.
Lin told him that this was not the real 'Realm of the Pompom', but a place that was closer to reality. He could watch the growth of his tribe. Although Lidl did not have as many things to worry about as Susumi, he still stayed to observe the future of his tribe …
Unlike Susumi, Lidl did not need to give any suggestions to his tribe. He just watched the Skeletal Dragons challenge the trials that he had experienced before, and then he would sigh and sigh.
He lived a very peaceful life … Until now, Lin had only allowed a small number of Emerald Dragons to live as part of the Dream World. After this, Lin did not plan to increase the number of Emerald Dragons, unless a very valuable dragon, such as inventing something amazing, appeared.
During this period, Susumi had also invented some new things. Some were very interesting, and some could even help the Emerald Dragons progress. However, what she wanted the most was … to see the outside world return to its normal state.
No matter how prosperous the Dream World was, not only Susumi, but many dragons knew what it was like outside. Although generations had passed, and there were no longer any dragons alive who had experienced the Dinosaur Continent and the Ark, no matter which slate or story it was, it was constantly describing the disaster of the past.
And when they looked up, they could see the raging snowstorm outside …
Most of the dragons were very afraid of the cold outside, but there were also some young Emerald Dragons who tried to leave the canyon and climb outside to explore. Lin would usually let them out, and then they would all freeze to death.
The Skeletal Dragons, on the other hand, were more obedient to the Pompom's teachings. They were more aware of the dangers outside. At most, they would try to climb close to the outer shell to observe, but they would not think of running out.
These two types of dragons also preferred to move around in the Dream World. They now had the opportunity to meet their king in the Dream World. The Skeletal Dragons now yearned for the Realm of the Pompom, but in reality, where was the Realm of the Pompom?
Perhaps it would be in the future when souls were discovered …
But now, the time when Susumi and Lidl became part of the Dream World was already in the future.
Two hundred years seemed like a short moment.
In fact, it was not short, because Lin did not sleep. Instead, she was constantly observing the changes in her surroundings.
The entire canyon had been occupied by all kinds of creatures, and their growth had entered a stagnant stage. Fortunately, every creature seemed to understand that when there was not enough space around them, they would also slow down their reproduction speed.
The same was true for the ancient squids at the bottom of the canyon. Their numbers were already 'full'. Lin observed their constant changes and found that their lifestyles were very similar to the Skeletal Dragons. So, Lin also tried to communicate with them …
Although the canyon was full, the outside world was still as empty and cold as ever.
The extreme cold lasted for more than two hundred years. Even after the Emerald Dragons and Skeletal Dragons had alternated for many generations, the cold storm still swept across the land outside. Other than the canyon and the habitat of the Cephalopods, there seemed to be no other creatures outside.
But that was not the case …
Some creatures had endured the extreme cold for a long time. They had trained their bodies to be extremely tough. They lived in the cold and maintained their numbers.
Standing Scorpions, they moved from island to island. They had been searching for the remains of sea creatures to survive. Although their numbers did not increase, they survived.
As for the other species, they were 'selected' by Lin. These creatures were larger in size and covered in fur. They could resist the cold and move on ice.
However, Lin's main focus now was still the sky … Floating astronomy.
