Vol 9 Chapter 108: surface

It seems... to go very deep.
Lin followed the Jingjing to a hollow tumbler, and learned some things about past civilizations from the "reincarnation generator" in the tumbler. After Lin understood almost everything, the tumbler suddenly started to move. up.
It is moving in the direction where the original 'Root of Hope' grew.
Although there are only some remains of the Root of Hope in the void now, it can still move along the route it once used.
It's just that this tumbler doesn't move by itself, but is pulled by some 'power' in the distance. Lin thinks that those crystals that have integrated into the 'samsara generator' should activate something to make it move.
What's more interesting is that as the tumbler moves, the scenery on the road will appear.
That is, the original scenery of the Root of Hope. When the tumbler flies by, the appearance of the Root of Hope in a certain era will appear in a phantom-like state for a period of time.
Therefore, on this tumbler, Lin can see the scenery of the Root of Hope along the way.
The roots of hope extend in the void like tree roots, and different root systems have different sizes and thicknesses. For example, the phantom that appears next to the tumbler is tens of thousands of kilometers wide, and its surface environment is different from most common ones. Tumblers are similar, mostly rocky wastelands.
Occasionally, I can see some strange scenery. The surface of some places looks like a boiling star, and there are some black areas that absorb light and even distort the surrounding scenery, and some weird areas that are constantly flickering and deforming.
But no matter what kind of area, it will coexist peacefully with the surrounding relatively normal rocky wasteland and other areas, which is quite strange.
At the same time, Lin also saw some residents living on the Root of Hope.
Most of what Lin saw were wild animals, and they all looked very interesting. These creatures range in size from a few meters to hundreds of meters, relying on multiple limbs to move on the ground, no matter what kind of creature it is, they There will always be one or more large holes in the body, and thick smoke will continue to be emitted from the inside.
It seems that this is also a transformation process, that is, the bodies of these creatures are constantly transforming into 'energy', but this state does not seem to have a great impact on them. Even if they continue to smoke, they still carry out some daily behaviors such as predation .
And as the tumbler moved forward, Lin saw something even more interesting, which was probably also a creature, and it was in a 'star lake' with a diameter of several kilometers.
This kind of "star lake" looks very similar to ordinary lakes from the outside. Of course, the lake is not water, but a substance that emits strong light and constantly "boils" like the surface of a star.
The body of this creature is like magma, it is more than 300 meters high, and it is constantly surging in the star lake like a spring. Occasionally, it will stretch out a tentacle made of magma to the lake, and from the end of the tentacle Extrude a creature.
This kind of creature is a wild animal that I saw a lot around, but when it was just squeezed out by the 'magma', there was no smoking hole on this creature.
Only after being outside for a period of time, the bodies of these creatures will crack, and then start to smoke continuously.
This feeling seems to be that 'magma' is constantly creating these wild animals.
After flying a certain distance, Lin saw many similar star lakes, and there was a mass of 'magma' that was constantly creating creatures.
When flying over, Lin will also sprinkle some cells and continue to observe them. Lin found that these 'magma' will continuously release a large number of creatures, and when there are too many creatures around and become very crowded, they will expand and explode suddenly. open.
Some are like a volcanic eruption. The 'magma' that creates creatures will turn into a raging wave and drown many creatures around them, and finally flow back into the magma lake to release creatures again.
Lin also noticed that among the large number of smoking creatures, there will be a small number of them without holes and smoke, and these creatures'magma' will bypass them.
It's just that all non-smoking is temporary, and those who have no holes for a long time will also have holes and start to smoke.
It seems that this behavior of magma is to create creatures without smoke?
And as the tumbler moved forward, Lin also discovered that these wonderful magmas and the smoking creatures they created did not last forever.
After flying over a rocky area with a large number of creatures and a star lake, what Lin saw was an urban area, to be precise, the ruins of civilization.
Lin has seen some of the ruins of civilization along the way. Some of them are not phantoms but entities floating in the void, but the ones that appear here are quite special.
After observing the arms of Linsa, it can be found that these civilized buildings built on the root of hope are stacked on top of each other, and they are stacked more than ten layers.
Therefore, the entire area seems to be composed of densely packed buildings, and the special thing is that each floor of it is a different civilized building.
For example, the first floor is a civilization similar to the Void People, with towering buildings and roads, and the second floor is a relatively small... granular civilization, all of their buildings are less than ten centimeters in size and have complex structures. 'Particles', these particles are combined and piled up on high-rise civilizations in large numbers, forming a structure that can support the third floor.
As for the third layer, there are some large land masses and the like.
In this way, each layer is a very different civilization, but it can be perfectly built on the top of the previous layer, so that a large number of stacks form this... spectacle.
Although these illusions cannot be directly contacted, Lin can still see that each civilization is built only after the civilization on the upper level perished.
I don't know why they have to be built here, maybe other places are not suitable, or there are a lot of resources to build on the ruins of the previous civilization.
Another thing that is quite special is that Lin found that there are still residents on the top floor.
The top layer is a 'smoking layer', which is very similar to the creatures created by the previous magma. It is a huge paste, and there are many smoking holes on the surface, and there are many creatures wandering on it .
These creatures seem to be floating in pieces, things a few meters in size, very similar to some leaves, they are constantly piling up their own buildings while floating, they seem to be able to be remotely controlled in some way The converging and dispersing of matter by which they build the paste little by little on the ruins below.
But they don't just make a paste, Lin also found that they control the accumulation of smoke from the paste, forming a kind of air bubble.
They seem to be controlling these 'energies' and preventing them from flowing into...unforeseen places.
