Chapter 2879 Pursuit and Hunting
"There are so many creatures that are always trying to pursue their dreams."
“They never gave up.”
“We never gave up.”
"We must hunt them...hunt them to the very end."
'Dream Hunters' are a type of bus creature that are said to be born with only one purpose, which is to hunt creatures that pursue their dreams.
What this 'dream' refers to is a little bit complicated.
It is said that a long, long time ago, there was a kind of creature whose ecology was not clear. The only thing known was that their greatest...characteristic was that they could change the surrounding environment through thinking.
Their own consciousness never directly contacts 'reality', but is always in...imagination.
But the real environment around them will change according to their imagination, and finally become the same environment as they imagine.
Of course, the reasons for the changes are not clear, and these are legends from a long time ago.
Legend has it that these creatures transformed a fairly large area entirely according to their imagination.
And this place... is the 'unforeseeable place'.
It is said that creatures like the Dream Shapers and some creatures in the void are descendants of this kind of "imaginary creature".
Lin felt that if this legend was true, then the Phoenix, whirlwind creatures, and various dream creatures were also related.
However, 'Dream Hunter' mainly talks about some creatures that Lin is not very familiar with.
These creatures entered the normal void for various reasons, and there are also species living in the solidified void.
Most creatures have forgotten... or simply don't know their connection with the unforeseen place, and just live ordinary lives here.
But some creatures may still have...some ancient memories deep in their minds.
Like a dream shaper.
The Dream Shaper may have locked himself in space in order to create a similar situation... then formed fragmented creatures and slowly transformed the surrounding environment, that is, changed the environment with imagination.
I just don’t know what the problem is…and it turned out like this.
But in general, many creatures don't know what connection they have with unpredictable places, and the case of Dream Shapers is rare.
Until...sometimes, that incident evoked the memories of most creatures.
This is that war.
When a certain creature proposed that it could pull the unforeseen land closer to the void, many creatures responded to its call. It is said that the main reason was... because these creatures all came from the unforeseen land.
Although they didn't know it originally, but when that creature showed them the existence of the unforeseen place... they all... developed a sense of 'resonance'.
Even though many of these creatures are completely different from their original appearance due to their long-term reproduction in the normal void, they... always have a special feeling when they feel there.
Just like the fragment creatures, the reason they are interested in that place is not just because it is a 'dream land'.
It may also be because the 'ancient memories' in their minds have awakened.
At the same time, some creatures from unforeseen places also participated in the war.
They may simply be interested in that place, or have some other purpose.
After the war ended, many creatures still did not give up and were still looking for ways to return.
Most creatures don't have any good solutions.
But some creatures have found... methods that seem somewhat reliable.
That is through the 'ancient space'.
The ancient space... is similar to the 'way back home' that Lin encountered before. Many creatures from unforeseen places will try to return there through this kind of place.
The space of dream shapers is also such a place.
It is very likely that it has a passage similar to the 'way back home' that can lead to unforeseen places.
Although even if there is such a channel, it is likely to have been disconnected long ago.
There is also another possibility.
That is, the 'ancient space' itself has the function of shortening the distance between unpredictable places and normal void.
Perhaps a long time ago, that kind of creature used ancient space to bring the two voids closer.
In short, because the ancient space has various possibilities, there are creatures pursuing them.
The same is true for the ring creatures...
The ring creature that is now born in the molten chain corpse is called the 'awakening of wandering consciousness' by the dream hunter.
Molten Chain...or Dream Shaper-like creatures are a kind of energy-thinking creatures. After they die, their thinking energy dissipates.
As long as their original bodies were not damaged too much, they could be revived by simply injecting this "energy" into their minds.
It feels a bit like a collection of thoughts.
And that's the case with those rings now.
It is said that they occasionally wake up suddenly because of the extra energy in their bodies.
As long as this kind of energy is generated in a certain ring, they will move... and become what Lin is seeing now.
Some of them will have the idea of returning to the Dream Shaper Space, so they will look for the entrance to the space nearby.
And all these creatures that tried to find it... were all killed by the Dream Hunters.
This is the task of the Dream Hunter, who kills any creature that tries to pursue the unforeseen.
Because it also learned about the history of the Molten Chain from the Molten Chain corpse, it specifically hunts those rings here.
Of course, it will also go back to hunt other creatures that want to pursue their "dreams".
If that's the case, why doesn't it destroy the entire molten chain corpse... to prevent the birth of the ring?
Dream Hunters say this...
Because the 'energy' that revived the ring mainly came from a place it couldn't detect yet.
If the entire corpse is destroyed, the energy will definitely not disappear and may be emitted to other corpses.
In this case, we have to search again, and there is no way to continue investigating where this energy comes from.
It would be better to keep the body and keep sending the energy here.
Recently, fewer and fewer rings have been resurrected, and the Dream Hunter believes that the energy may be running out.
If there is no ring to revive, the Dream Hunter decides to charge into... the Dream Shaper's space.
Although it is not confident that it can destroy the space, it can kill all the creatures inside.
At the same time, Lin also asked it why it was willing to tell her these.
It means that information about the bus creature was detected from Lin's...pompom.
To be precise, it was Ersh's information.
The Dream Hunter also knew Ersh, though not directly, but it knew that Ersh was the key to the war. 8)
