Chapter 2613 Multiple Transformations
The rest of the story...Lin almost knew it all.
The meat creatures encountered here, their true identity is... a flower creature.
After its initial contact with the Void Empire, it seemed to get along pretty well.
Mainly the Void Empire
After the flowers and the Void Empire came into contact, they got along... pretty well.
The Void Empire does not know the 'true face' of the flower, they just regard it as a powerful species with division of labor.
This is mainly based on the analysis of the original battle between the mining aircraft and it.
In fact, the Empire sent warships here to conduct "broadcast communication" in order to test what kind of creature the flower itself is. If it does not respond... then the Empire will treat it as a target that cannot communicate and can only go to war.
But it responded, so the Empire accepted it as a partner to work with... and began a long-term trade relationship.
At first, the flower was not quite sure what the empire was...but through gradual communication, it began to understand the general situation of this void empire.
It developed a strong interest in the Void Empire, so it used the minerals in its territory to trade with the Void Empire for some things that interested it for research.
Various aircraft are also among the things it is interested in.
During this period, the flowers themselves are slowly 'evolving'.
It has been trying to change the large amount of body flesh that it controls. It is not very clear what happened exactly, but in short, it finally turned into the form that Lin sees now. They can quickly devour the surrounding matter and proliferate.
As for the neural structure of the flower itself, it is located in the center of the territory in the form of a huge piece of meat.
After getting along with the Empire for a long time, it closed its own territory and reduced direct contact with the Empire...
Because it finds itself now understanding the empire more and more, and it finds itself becoming more and more "ambitious" about the empire.
It believed that it might be possible to... conquer this vast empire.
This may be because the empire was mainly composed of a large number of individual creatures, and it believes that these individual creatures have been...constantly scheming against each other. The entire empire seems huge, but in fact it is easy to split and collapse it by some means.
The flowers believe that they have a chance of winning.
And it has always had a desire, which is to revive its own population.
Controlling the Empire could potentially allow it to do just that.
Although it was unknown how it was going to accomplish this... the flower quickly tried to take action against the empire.
Its communication with the Empire became less and less in the later period, which not only made the Empire feel that it was becoming more and more mysterious, but also made it difficult for the Empire to discover its plans against the Empire.
Of course, all this failed.
A group of stable insects appeared out of nowhere and attacked the brains of all the pieces of meat, which were also the neural structures of the original flowers.
This potential threat to the empire was just... resolved.
But it’s a little different from what Lin knew before.
That is, the stable worms did not completely destroy the brain, and they also left some structures of the brain.
The stabilizer worms then used these residual brain structures and mixed them with some other materials to create... or in other words, restore its 'original appearance'.
This is the flower-shaped creature that Lin has caught now. It is a creature composed of some nerves remaining from the meat brain and a lot of other materials mixed together.
I don't know why the stable worm does this. Maybe it intends to use it to do something special.
Although it looks exactly like the original flower creature, it has many differences in abilities.
It's like it has more abilities regarding space and can directly affect the surrounding space.
Just like now it blocks the advance of the model sand sea.
And it has many other capabilities, which Lin is still testing.
This flower creature... Lin finds it very interesting, because it has undergone many changes... It was first transformed by a manufacturing device, then it was blown up by the Empire to form a new life form, and now it has been transformed again by the stabilizing worms.
But what has not changed is probably its thinking.
The microorganisms that were originally used for temporary command in the brain of this flower were modified by the manufacturing device, and they regarded themselves as... the flower itself.
After a long period of time, these microorganisms have completely merged with the flower's brain.
They kind of grew together.
At first, these microorganisms thought they were the flowers themselves...but they still lived as independent organisms around the flower's neural structure.
Later, this group of microorganisms used some methods to...dissolve themselves.
They have some autolytic abilities...they do this just because they think they can move around, not because their neural structures are growing together in a weird way.
So they lay themselves on the neural structure and dissolve themselves.
The nutrients left over from the autolysis are absorbed by the flower's neural structure, and only then are they truly integrated.
In short, the thinking model of flowers has always been the same as that of these microorganisms.
This is true even after the transformation.
After the stabilizing worms transformed it into this appearance, its thinking did not change, so it has always hated the group of stabilizing worms that transformed it.
At the same time, it can no longer control the surrounding pieces of meat, but its thoughts and memories are preserved, so Lin can know various things that happened in the past through its memory... and know the history of the flower creatures.
After learning more about it, Lin believed that the large flower worlds that Lin had seen...that is, what Lin had always believed to be...the 'third world', were actually all created by manufacturing devices.
They may have created two, or even more, of these flower worlds.
The one that was thrown into the Phoenix star, which Lin believed was the original body of the Third Realm, might have been made by a manufacturing device. It was not the original body, but just a replica.
All the information Lin had learned about the third world before might have happened on these imitations.
If that is the case, then how come the three worlds operate synchronously?
Could it be that a synchronization phenomenon occurred between the flower world created by the manufacturing device, the pompoms, and the ancestral land?
But this is not quite right.
Because the imitation flower world was not created that long ago.
The synchronization time was earlier... before the void tunnel collapsed.
