The End of the Paleozoic Era Chapter 2208 From the Stars

From the looks of it, this creature seems to be perfectly suited to a star.

With their blazing bodies and shining wings, nothing could make them look more like creatures that jumped out of the stars.

...But in reality, they cannot directly touch the stellar environment.

This creature, which has always been called "Phoenix", if thrown directly into a star, will die in a very short time just like cellular organisms.

It may be able to last longer than cellular organisms.

However, they do live among stars.

It told Lin...some of their history.

From the moment it was born, all it saw was a world of constantly surging flames...but these flames did not cause any harm because they were separated by a 'transparent wall'.

These "Phoenix" populations live in this kind of environment.

Simply put, they are within a 'protective layer', a kind of wonderful... wall that protects them from being harmed by various factors such as the high temperature inside the star.

Sometimes this wall exudes an ash-like substance, which they rely on to grow and thrive.

They have never left the walls that protect them, and they never know where they live... They just stay there, absorb nutrients, and continue to stay, repeating this life over and over again.

Although they live a life like plants, these 'Phoenixes' still have good mobility and various perceptions... and they also have some 'emotions' and can communicate with each other.

Of course they never thought about why.

Their natural way of communicating is to throw dust and light at each other to express their meaning.

There is a certain "class system" among the phoenixes. Some of the more advanced individuals among them are considered "leaders". The leaders... can sprinkle a kind of "command dust" to command other phoenixes to do things.

However, they have never had the opportunity to use this ability. After all... Phoenixes do not fight wars, reproduce, or have any special ideas. They have been... staying still for a long time.

Until one day... a huge pipe suddenly entered the interior of the star, and some phoenixes landed on this pipe out of curiosity.

Then the pipeline left the star. After an unknown amount of time, the pipeline came back, bringing back some phoenixes that had followed it outside.

When the phoenixes came back, they excitedly told their fellow phoenixes about the outside world, which made them all excited and they all tried to go with the pipeline... to the outside world.

Many phoenixes followed the pipe to leave the star, including the one Lin encountered now... a creature that looked like a burning chicken.

After following the pipe away, it found that its companions were... gone.

However, occasionally it would still see some of its kind, and these people would tell it that they had been to many different places and done... many things.

And this burning chicken never had the chance to go anywhere else.

In fact, it doesn't know how to go or why to go.

Until one day...it suddenly came here.

That is the death still field.

It said that there were several other species that came here with it, and there was a "leader" who assigned them a task.

The mission is... to keep the Ershimin tools in working order.

In this city called 'Twisting Waist', this burning chicken is responsible for keeping dozens of video installations running.

The specific work content is to run back and forth between the buildings, sprinkling some anti-solidification substances on the imaging devices inside to keep the images of the devices turned on and running.

Because these anti-coagulation substances will slowly lose their effectiveness, keep sprinkling them and you will get food as long as you finish it.

And then… that’s it, Burning Chicken has been doing this kind of work here for a long time.

Its story is very...simple.

Lin also noticed that although they were curious about unknown things, they could also...endure doing the same thing over and over again without feeling bored.

In addition... Lin also studied them carefully and found that they were indeed very similar to the 'whirlwind creatures' that Lin had encountered before.

They are very similar in body structure and communication methods, but the basic substances that make up the body are different.

This creature, called "Phoenix", might be a species created by Midgard or something else, and kept in a star, and taken out for use when it is useful.

That looks quite like the case.

They are generally larger in size, but there are also very small ones, like the size of this chicken.

So... why do they keep these imaging devices running here?

The burning chicken told Lin some interesting situations.

Because it was taught by its leader how to use the tools of the Ershi people and could understand the contents inside, it always paid attention to the situation in the images.

The images in the video are almost all of the Ershi people who are living a miserable life.

For example, the one Lin saw before, they lived in rock houses and led a hungry life with lack of food.

There are other scenes...The burning chicken indicates that it has seen a large group of Ershi people working.

They work day and night in huge factories without any rest time. When they are exhausted, they are kicked aside and replaced by a new worker.

And after waking up tired, I have to continue working.

Although the Burning Chicken didn't know what these Ershi people were doing, it still remembered this scene.

There are other scenes, like the Ershi people who are constantly fighting, the Ershi people who are shivering in the cold...

However, Burning Chicken said that most of the pictures were of working people, and only a few were of pure suffering.

Lin felt that what it said was very similar to the several doomsday spaces that Ersh had created before.

But the most special thing is...

The burning chicken once went wrong, causing an image installation to be restored a little late.

That time, the video installation was in a frozen state for about an entire day and night.

Then, when the Burning Chicken restored the device, he discovered...

All the Ershi people who had been living a very hard life there died.

This is quite special, because although the Ershi people in the original picture had a hard life, very few of them died.

But after the Burning Chicken made a mistake, they died, and from then on no matter how hard it tried to keep it from being solidified, the Ershi people in the picture remained dead and did not move again.

Lin felt that this was a rather special situation... because these Ershi people might be the ones who were originally on the fake Ershi.

They are trapped somewhere... and their situation can be seen through the picture.
