The fragmented land of the Tumbler... is now covered with corpses.
There were some creatures wandering among the corpses, and there were the earliest ones...hundreds of creatures that only moved once a year.
As a very ancient creature, they survived successfully.
Of course, because of the light of perpetual motion, they don't need to wait hundreds of years to move, but because they are always active, their life span is very short.
There are some other creatures, they have no special feeling about this disaster...
They just wandered at a loss, while continuing their lives.
There are also a few civilized creatures that have survived, but they are too few in number, and there is no way to create offspring, so it is impossible to establish a civilization.
The granular creature discovered that since the ‘perpetual light’ exploded, it has never seen any new creatures born.
The creatures on these land masses will always be just those, every time one dies... there will be one less.
The light of perpetual motion has been wonderfully maintained. According to the calculations of civilized creatures, this can only be maintained for a period of time. After the past, these places will return to static.
But now the land mass has been fully active for a long time. According to the observation of the granular creatures, it probably lasted... ten Ersh years.
Although it doesn't feel very long, in fact, if the creatures here live in a purely active environment, they don't live so long. Most of them die one by one.
But a very small number remained, including a civilized creature.
It found...It was possible to give birth to creatures when it was originally active.
A large number of corpses...lived.
To be precise, they are growing, just like the way that various organisms construct new organisms before. Put the internal organs and materials into a suitable body, and then let this body in the active space, then it will grow. And become a new creature.
The specific growth process is quite interesting. These internal organs will glue together on their own and begin to grow missing structures... and as they grow, they will also construct immune forces to resist microbial attacks.
When compared with cell organisms, this is a bit similar to growing plants together.
Generally speaking, most of the internal organs used to construct a creature need to come from the same organism, and only a small amount of other biological internal organs and some other materials can be mixed.
At the same time, these small amounts of materials have a great influence on what kind of organisms are constructed.
In this situation, it is the first time that the granular organism has been seen.
Most of the wreckage moved as if it were constructed. They glued together and began to grow slowly.
And these corpses are indeed like plants, they have grown a lot of ‘roots’ that extend deep underground, seeming to want to go into the ground and do something.
The situation on each land block is like this...All the corpses are connected and fused together.
They no longer look like corpses, but like a piece of skin covering the ground, slowly moving.
At the same time, they also extended huge roots to the surrounding land masses. These roots collided with each other and connected all the land masses together.
Finally, this creature made up of countless corpses... just formed. Six
The granular creature still doesn't know why it was born, and why those lifeless corpses suddenly grew.
It looks like a giant creature formed by a large number of land blocks connected together.
For this phenomenon, the civilized creatures still alive above were very surprised.
Then... it started its own experiment.
These civilized creatures have always believed that they fully understand the construction process of living things, and believe that they cannot construct any living things in a non-stationary state.
But now this phenomenon of large-scale construction...gave it up hope.
So, it began to try to construct creatures. It used all kinds of materials it could find, including its own internal organs. It wanted to create some of its own kind and revive its own ethnic group.
But it can't make anything, no matter how it assembles these materials, nothing happens.
This is true even if there are no microorganisms to erode these materials now... it has no way.
Civilized creatures who know the structure in this way can't understand the current situation. It tried to create a lot of shells... and stuffed them with materials. Since they showed no signs of activity, it finally had to give up.
But it quickly discovered the anomaly.
The outer surface has become like alive, and various ‘roots’ and other structures are often stretched out.
They don't just drill underground, they grow up, but generally they will retract when they grow up. Maybe they can feel that there is nothing on it.
This time it was different. Civilized creatures noticed that some roots were growing toward those shell positions it gave up, and got into the shell.
Then, these shells moved.
The internal organs that had no vitality inside began to recover, and the roots connected them together and made them full of vitality.
These shells were originally designed by civilized creatures according to their own appearance. After they moved, the shape did not change, but...the behavior was completely different.
The civilized creatures tried to communicate with them, but they didn't respond at all. These bodies just quickly gathered in one place and began to be in a daze.
Yes... they do nothing, even if they are stoned by civilized creatures, they will not react.
Later, the civilized creature tried again, and it found that no matter what it made by itself, it didn't respond, but it moved after being ‘interrogated’ by the roots.
But they also fell into a daze without moving, and could do nothing.
Civilized creatures...do not understand this situation.
It tried to study the difference between its own body and the moving ones, and tried to add various materials, or directly cut off the roots that grew out as materials, but it didn't work.
It is completely immobile when it is made by itself.
Finally, this civilized creature gave up.
It doesn't make anything anymore, and stays beside those in a daze all day, who look exactly like itself.
It and these bodies... have been talking.
It's like what some lonely personality creatures do. It treats these shells as their own kind, chats with them, and talks about various things. It talks about its own population history, past wars, and use The thing of eternal light.
It also mentioned that their race recorded all the history somewhere, but unfortunately no descendants can see it.
And when it finished saying this, this group of originally motionless bodies suddenly moved.
