Just like many ecological planets in the Plane of Dreams, Tannagost was also seeded by the Seed of Origin to give birth to life. The First Born was buried deep under the planet, and the Tannaeans were the second batch of life born from the Seed of Origin.
What happened on the planet of Holletta (the people in Becky's hometown had not named their planet yet, so Hao Ren could only refer to the planet as Holletta for the time being) also happened here: the First Born woke up violently and launched a merciless attack on the Second Born. Unlike Holletta, the Tannaeans had worse luck. The First Born they faced was not controlled by any security device. The ecosystem of the planet was reshaped, and the Tannaeans, who once created a glorious civilization, were wiped out.
"Even here..." Lily was traumatized by the First Born. The moment she saw the huge tentacles, she was scared out of her wits. "Oh, I feel the hair on my tail standing up... It's really standing up!"
"It looks like I'm right. The First Born is a common phenomenon in the Plane of Dreams. Many ecological planets in this world were sown by the Seed of Origin, and I'm afraid the first life born by the Seed of Origin is the First Born." Hao Ren took a deep breath. "The goddess of creation is really a goddess... How many planets has she transformed?"
"No matter how many planets she has transformed, the point is why the First Born here also went berserk." Vivian looked at the jungle-like sea of tentacles in the distance, and a large group of bats slowly emerged around her. "We should expand the exploration area."
A large group of bats flew through the air with a sharp whistling sound, and in a flash, they became a group of vague dots in the sky. Lily did not forget to remind Hao Ren, "Don't forget to take them back. Don't leave another Hessiana II behind."
Vivian suddenly shivered and stared at Lily. "Can't you say something more auspicious?"
"Those tentacles seem to be dead." Hao Ren shaded his eyes with his hand and looked into the distance. "Shall we go and take a look at the scene?"
Vivian nodded, but she quickly turned to look at Anna. "You have to go back first. The upcoming exploration will not be as simple as' dangerous'. We will be facing an ancient creature that is beyond your imagination. Even its remains could be a huge threat."
When Anna saw the terrifying tentacles outside the city, she was already scared out of her wits. At this time, she finally stopped trying to be brave. So, Hao Ren nodded to Lily and said, "Take Anna back to the entrance of the underground palace. Also, take this... "Hao Ren said as he handed over a small silver-white device." Put this near the fissure. It's an energy sensor. If there's a vengeful spirit passing through the fissure, we'll know. "
Lily carried Anna on her shoulder and ran far away. Nangong Wuyue shouted from behind, "Slow down! Anna was an ordinary person! Did you control the acceleration to be below 2G? "
After Lily sent Anna away and ran back to meet up with the others, they quickly rushed to the hellish, twisted land outside the city. They passed by broken and collapsed buildings along the way and saw the remains of the city's protective wall: there were a total of 15 layers of thick alloy armor outside Alamanda. The arc-shaped armor was more than 10 meters thick. Not only was it made of special materials, but it was also cast with the base of the entire city.
However, even such a protective wall had fallen under the powerful power of the First Born.
The First Born was rooted in the earth, and part of its body could even penetrate several kilometers or even tens of kilometers underground to support the entire geological structure. Hao Ren had seen this power in Dragonspine Ridge: when the First Born woke up, it could easily destroy the entire area. There was no doubt that Alamanda had suffered the same fate. The protective wall of the city itself was made of alloy, but the First Born must have caused a violent earthquake under the protective wall, which caused the thick armor to become fragile. Then the tentacles of the First Born pierced into the city along the fragile armor. On the outer layer of the protective wall, Hao Ren saw the huge tentacles piercing deep into the armor. They had decayed and died, but the ferocious posture of piercing through the layers of armor was still frightening.
At the outermost layer of the city, there were some tentacles with special structures growing along the protective wall, trying to invade the city from above. The surface of these tentacles, which looked like vines, had scorch marks, and at the top of the inner protective wall, there was a structure that looked like a weapon turret: this was also the remnant of the terrible disaster of that year. The technological strength of the Tannaeans was indeed more powerful than that of the mage emperors. At least the former had the ability to hurt the First Born and temporarily keep it out of the gate.
But in the end, it was all meaningless: almost all the fifteen layers of armor had been broken, and the Tannaeans completed the life form transformation at the last moment before the city was breached.
They left Alamanda, which was protected by layers of armor, along a wide passage drilled out by the tentacles. Hao Ren looked back and saw the shocking state of the golden city from this angle: its high walls were full of cracks, and the vines of the First Born almost completely surrounded it. Everything was shrouded in an atmosphere of death and strangeness. Alamanda was like being pulled into the abyss by an evil god. Just looking at it from a distance was enough to make one's scalp tingle.
"Those should be the wreckage of the shield generator, and some weapon towers," the MDT pointed at the mechanical devices on the surface of the city wall with a beam of light. "It's a pity, this was a very promising civilization."
"These tentacles are indeed dead," Vivian bent down and examined a tentacle that had spread from the depths of the ground. The tentacle was dry and gray, and it had been dead for a long time. "I can't feel any breath of life deep inside it … The parts connected to this tentacle are all dead."
"Look at the plants in the distance." Nangong Wuyue looked at a distant hillside, where she could see a dense and slightly golden forest growing on the wreckage of the First Born's tentacles. "That should be the result of the reshaping of the ecosystem."
After the First Born went berserk, it would try to reset the entire planet's ecosystem. If it succeeded, all life within its coverage would be extinct. The First Born on planet Tannagost had obviously completed this mission, so any creature that appeared on this land now must have developed after the reshaping of the ecosystem. Looking at the forest that was thriving on the wreckage of the First Born's tentacles, Hao Ren vaguely guessed what had happened after the First Born destroyed the world.
The last link in the chain of creation-madness-destruction-reshaping seemed to have been completed.
"It seems that after the First Born successfully destroyed the second ecosystem, it would wither, and then a new ecosystem would be born from its remains," Hao Ren speculated. "Because the First Born and Second Born had consumed the 'lifeblood' contained in the Seed of Origin, so the First Born itself played the role of the lifeblood in the process of the ecosystem resetting."
"So after the Tannaeans and their ecosystem perished, the tentacle monster also died," Lily kicked a tentacle at her feet. "Why did this guy do that? No good at all … After the end of the world, it died itself. "
"Yeah, why did it do that?" Vivian repeated faintly. "The rumor in Holletta is that the blasphemy of the ancient mage-emperors angered the First Born, but what about here? What did the Tannaeans do? They were just studying various postures to be struck by lightning. Who provoked whom? "
Hao Ren thought of the wreckage of the First Born he saw in Y 'zaks' hometown. "Maybe they were crazy. After all, the First Born can communicate in a normal state, and they are very gentle. MDT, check the age of death of these tentacles. "
The MDT replied directly, "Don't bother. As you guessed, it's about the time when the 'Goddess Destroyed the World' happened in Holletta."
"Maybe all the First Borns in the entire Plane of Dreams have gone crazy," Lily's voice trembled slightly. "The same thing should have happened to every planet that was seeded by the Seed of Origin … So the aliens who had signed a contract with the mage-emperors didn't come, so Tannagost had a natural disaster of origin, and so there are so many otherworldlings on Earth: they are not all from Holletta, but from the entire Plane of Dreams … They are all refugees."
Many previous speculations had finally become facts. The problem must be the root of all the First Borns — the Goddess of Creation.
