Chapter 2627: The Legend of Mud

“What exactly is a miracle?”

"It has always been affecting us... affecting everything about us. ◢随＊梦＊小◢.1a"

"Because, maybe we are also one of the miracles."

This is a legend that is who knows how old it is.

There is a legend about this group of creatures called mud.

These creatures originally lived in the void tunnel, but later left the miraculous creatures they had been following for various reasons.

The reason for leaving...is a mystery.

They did not record the reason why they left. They only recorded... the many miracles that the miraculous creatures had created.

Although there was no reason for separation from the miracle creature, the mud recorded all the miracles created by the miracle creature very clearly.

But at first they were just records and they didn't do anything.

Until... a long, long time later.

The mud population has undergone countless changes, whether it is the place of residence or their habits...the body structure has also undergone various changes over this long period of time.

For now, their lifestyle is like this... Generally speaking, the 'foundation' of mud is very huge.

This mass of mud is usually tens or hundreds of kilometers in size and is usually called 'ancient mud'.

That is the mud that has lived from long ago to the present day. Of course, all kinds of knowledge and memories are also recorded in this huge body.

However, they cannot retrieve their own memories as easily as ordinary creatures. Instead, they need to "read" them slowly, just like visiting a museum.

It can be a strange feeling, as these muds usually do not consider these memories to be their own, but rather think they are looking at records left over from a very ancient time.

But they don't care much about these records and don't value past history as much as individual creatures.

Sometimes they question the accuracy of a memory, in which case they remove that memory and replace it with a new one.

Sometimes you just simply don't like the memory and get rid of it.

Therefore, throughout history, ancient muds have revised their own history countless times, so they have no record of their own...origins.

The only two things that have not changed are their 'language' and their records of miracles.

The various seeds of miracles created by the miracle creatures have always been clearly preserved by each ancient mud and have never been modified.

Perhaps it is because the records of these miracles have never been questioned by them.

As for the 'language', they also learned it from the miraculous creatures, and they have always recorded this way of communication.

But apart from these two, other histories have been overturned and reshaped countless times by them.

They have no idea where their origins are, and the history they record is incorrect.

To be precise, each ancient mud record is different...this is because they like to revise.

The life of the ancient mud... depends on their 'descendants'.

The descendants are muds that are much smaller than them.

These muds are split from the huge ancient mud. Every time they split, this small mass of mud will be... assigned some memories.

Although the small muds that are split out have different jobs, the memory contents are relatively similar.

They all think of themselves as a... new generation that needs to continue to take on tasks from their predecessors and grow.

These missions range from simple activities like exploring or gathering food to activities that require blowing up a world, in which the slime continues to grow.

Of course, suicide missions can't grow long, but there are not many suicide missions.

After growing big enough, the original small muds will become 'predecessors', which are the individuals that Lin calls mud lords.

After the little muds sent out by the lord have completed enough tasks, they will return to the lord, and then the lord will...

'Reward' them.

That is to say, devour them.

Then the lord released another batch of small muds, asked them to perform the task and repeated the above process.

The Overlord keeps himself growing by constantly raising small slimes and devouring them when they mature.

Finally, when the lord grows to a certain extent, he will return to the ancient mud... and be swallowed by the ancient mud.

This is their ecological process.

In fact, none of the split mud can truly grow, and they will all eventually return to the ancient mud.

After the ancient mud swallows the returning mud, it can obtain all the memories inside, such as all the things that this mud has seen during its life process.

Ancient mud also grew in this way.

They never reproduce, after all, every little piece of mud that splits off will eventually be recycled.

But it is said that there are some small muds outside... If they get lost and cannot come back, there is a small possibility that they will continue to grow and eventually become as big as the ancient mud.

What’s interesting here is that the small pieces of mud that have split apart don’t know that they will be swallowed up in the end.

They all thought that they would eventually grow stronger and stronger.

Including those mud lords, although they are in the process of splitting into small muds and then swallowing small muds to grow, they don’t know that they will be swallowed up when they finally return to the ancient mud.

Perhaps they had doubts, but it is said... no mass of mud has ever truly resisted this fate.

At the same time, they do not just raise mud. The small mud created by the Mud Lord usually has a parasitic function.

If they encounter a suitable creature, they will parasitize this creature and control its nerves. The parasitized creature will... regard itself as part of the mud, and eventually it will return to the lord and be devoured.

Of course this is mud...recent ecological habits, and I don't know about them before that. It is said that they were not like this originally.

There were a lot of muds in ancient times, but there was no intersection between them. They just lived their own lives raising their own little muds. Only when there were some important things would they contact each other.

Ancient muds usually don't move much on their own, but by constantly splitting into small muds to explore everywhere, they also know a lot about various things in the void.

Because nothing has happened to disturb their population, they have always lived a very peaceful life.

Until... a miracle happened.

The miracles left behind by the miraculous creatures long ago began to manifest one after another.

These miracles have caused them a great... crisis

Because of the ancient mud discoveries, all kinds of...miracles are also happening inside one's body.
