Chapter 2569: Journey Backwards

The final passage.

Although this place is small compared to the entire void tunnel, it is still very large in proportion to the sand ball.

It could accommodate thousands of stars the size of Phoenix.

And the main reason it was preserved is because of a certain...species.

This species is a creature that developed in the tunnel, and when they saw the entire tunnel was about to collapse, they initially just continued to hide.

These creatures are quite special. They can only adapt to the environment in the tunnel and cannot live in the normal void outside.

These creatures are essentially 'drifting creatures' in that they are large in size and roam throughout the tunnels.

They survive by absorbing the...food that permeates the tunnel, and this 'food' is only available in the tunnel.

The most important thing about these creatures is that they have a very strong love for tunnels. They like this... the place where they have lived all along.

As for the normal void outside, it feels like 'hell' to them.

They don't want to leave at all, they just want to... live in here.

Finally, they found that the entire tunnel was collapsing. When they reached the point where they could no longer retreat, they thought of a way... to stabilize the remaining passage.

In fact, the sand ball guards didn't know what method they used. In short, this species "sacrificed" the entire race.

They seemed to evaporate and disappeared into the final channel, but after that, the channel peeling phenomenon... stopped.

This final passage stabilized and did not collapse again.

The entire passage turned into a snow-white space after that incident.

The model sand sea guarding the sand ball is also in this last passage, and it itself has not been affected at all.

After this, there was a period of very peaceful time. During this period, many creatures came to visit the passage and left. Because there were no independent small spaces nearby, no creature tried to enlarge the passage.

But there are some creatures that try to open some entrances and exits, but there are very few creatures with this ability.

All in all, it didn't cause any big impact...but the sand ball guard noticed the strange state of the passage during this period.

That's the channel...it seems to adjust itself.

If there are too many entrances and exits, the passage will be closed a little, and it usually won't bother the creatures here.

That is, it will close those that have not been used for a long time, but will not close those that are currently in use.

At the same time, it will also perform some "self-adjustments", such as occasionally generating some storm-like phenomena in the channel... and pushing out some dangerous items in the channel.

For example, powerful explosives, dying stars, and...all kinds of dangerous things have entered the channel.

They were all pushed out.

At the same time, this passage has become more secretive and difficult to detect through ordinary means, which has greatly reduced the number of creatures entering.

In short, this place has always maintained stability and balance...making it always safe.

During this period, Shoushaqiu was studying...normal void.

Because they were quite interested in the situation outside the void at that time, but the sand balls just observed and did nothing.

Although the channel itself is very small, it can still reach many places in the void.

Their main objects of observation are the creatures that survived the tunnel collapse.

Although the tunnel collapse has little impact on the Sand Guardian itself, it actually has a huge impact on countless creatures.

First of all, many species living in the tunnels became extinct, and many creatures that relied on tunnels to move also suffered a huge blow. Countless civilizations fell apart, and countless creatures perished.

It is said that there once appeared some creatures with very interesting habits, such as a strange creature with a very long body, its head outside a certain entrance and exit, its body in the tunnel, and its tail at another entrance and exit.

Of course these creatures also disappeared...

Because the influence of the entire tunnel was so great, its disappearance also led to dramatic changes in the ecology that had been formed over a long period of time, affecting a large area of ​​the void.

After that, traveling through the void also became difficult.

The Sand Ball said that at that time, all the creatures it knew that needed to travel long distances in the void did so through space.

Without space, they would be completely unable to travel long distances.

Therefore, a civilization will split into multiple civilizations because they cannot communicate with each other... and those creatures that move around will be trapped in one place and unable to move forward.

The Sand Ball Guardian noticed that many creatures were constantly looking for space but couldn't find it, so they could only... use the most ancient method from before.

That is to travel using pure... speed.

This greatly limits the development of various creatures. After all, even if the speed of light is reached... even if it is ten times faster than light, traveling in this vast void is extremely slow.

The collapse of the tunnel caused all living creatures to... regress a lot. Even those powerful creatures that could fuse were unable to create space.

Only a very small number of creatures with extremely strong perception abilities discovered the remaining small section of the snow-white passage and continued to use it.

This gave the sand ball the feeling that all living things were imprisoned... confined to a much smaller range than before, and unable to roam in the vast void.

However, after a while, Shoushaqiu discovered that there was a creature that put an end to this situation.

They are a very special kind of creature, Shoushaqiu noticed, and this kind of creature... can make use of the remaining tunnels.

That is the energy left after the small spaces peeled off by the tunnel disappear.

They can use this energy to move to other places that also have energy.

Through observing them, Shoushaqiu came to a conclusion that the energy formed by the dissipation of small space is actually a more peculiar form, or a tiny space.

Currently, only these creatures can use teleportation to move, and it seems that it is extremely difficult for other creatures to imitate them.

At least for a long time, the sand ball guards have not seen any creatures that can imitate them.

Most creatures either use them as a hitchhiker or kill them and remove their organs for use.

In short, no living creature can create a similar mobile device on its own, and no living creature can grow similar organs.

It seemed that only this creature had this ability, and it was like this for a long time.

This kind of creature, of course, is the bus-like creature that Lin knows.
