Chapter 2979 Gratitude

"Are you finally... awake?"

Lin was actually a little surprised that this creature could last that long.

This amber creature.

Ever since Lin came in, it has been repeating the same behavior... of trying to wake up the bus.

Now, the bus's nerves are slowly "reviving". Although Lin feels that it has nothing to do with it directly, it seems to be able to feel the vitality of the bus.

As the Pain Bus's neural structures began to move, the amber became excited.

"Finally... all our hard work and efforts... have not been in vain."

Now the amber slowly floated out of its room, out of the building, and into the pitch-black environment outside.

It quickly flew away from the floating island and landed on the surface of the Pain Bus, sticking its body tightly to the surface and expressing a very excited emotion: "Now let's work together... to realize our past ideals together."

Lin has been observing its movements, mainly because she wants to see how long it can last.

But it seemed to be able to resist the great pain around it for quite a long time, which made Lin feel wonderful.

Although this is mostly due to the fact that the calm energy within its body has not dissipated.

"Come on...let's get started!"

Following the emotions of this amber creature, Lin noticed...something appeared in the dark space.

That is a place quite far away from here, more than one million kilometers to be exact. One of Lin's Pain Abyss Leviathan is flying in this place.

Here, Lin discovered that some...debris suddenly appeared in the dark space.

These fragments are slowly assembled and pieced together to form larger structures.

These fragments... are actually the things that previously formed the Dragon Roost and the Dragon Skeleton because of Lin's Leviathan thinking. Now they seem to be... being assembled according to Amber's thinking.

Because Lin noticed that the large amount of debris eventually synthesized into two different objects.

One is a ball with exactly the same shape as the Pain Bus, and the other is an ellipsoidal object with exactly the same shape as Amber.

Of course, the ones synthesized here are the same size, only a little over one meter.

"This is the last time, we will find a way to end it." Suddenly, Lin found that the bus she was made of 'spoke'... or to be more precise, it used the crack language of its creator.

The object representing amber also replied: "I know...I...know."

"We have already agreed that we will go and witness it all, and end it all."

The two of them started chatting as if nothing else was happening.

Lin found it very interesting, so she continued to watch what they were talking about... Slowly, Lin discovered that they seemed to be able to talk about a lot of interesting things.

……………………

That was a long, long time ago. In fact, Lin didn’t even know how long it was.

At that time, there was a piece of stone floating in the void...it was called 'living rock'.

Shengyan means edible stone, and its full name is Rock of Life.

It is a 'staff station' for buses.

Many buses that pass by it are generally void buses... and many absorbable substances can be found on them.

So for a long time, many buses have been "visiting" it. It is said that this raw rock was originally about the same size as Ersh, but under the long-term visit of buses, it became smaller and smaller, and was almost eaten up in the end.

But... just when it was only a few hundred kilometers in diameter, it suddenly began to grow bigger.

The reason is... the Pain Bus.

The Pain Bus found this 'raw rock' at some point, and instead of eating it, it piled a lot of things on it.

These things accumulated more and more, causing the size of the living rock to slowly grow larger again.

And these things are some very special things, all of them are...hardened neural structures of living things.

It seems that a long time ago, the Pain Bus has been conducting a strange experiment on the creatures living on its surface... It transforms the neural structures of many kinds of creatures into a strong, permanently preservable substance.

It does not keep this substance on itself, but instead throws it all onto the living rock.

In addition to the hardened nerves, the Pain Bus also threw a lot of its own...surface material onto it.

Every time a big earthquake occurs on the surface, the bus will become smaller. In fact, it just throws some of the surface material onto... the raw rock.

Although it is called Living Rock, it is not a living thing. It has no objection whether it is eaten or piled up as a pile of...objects by the Pain Bus.

Until some time later, the Pain Bus suddenly went to the location of the Raw Rock and conducted another experiment on it.

It wants to restore some hardened nerve structures to normal.

In fact, Bus is not sure whether these hardened neural structures can return to normal, or whether they can still retain their previous memories.

It seemed that it had never been tested before, and it was just thrown here with hardened nerves.

The Pain Bus then restored a small piece of the sclerotic neural structure.

Here's a very interesting thing happening... this hardened neural structure is actually able to think when it's converted back by the bus.

But it has a completely different...thinking from the creature that originally possessed this nerve.

Simply put, it thinks it is... living rock.

The moment it woke up, it told the Pain Bus that it had been looking forward to this moment of communicating with the Pain Bus.

It believed that it was the Pain Bus that saved it. When it was about to be eaten, the hardened nerves and surface materials thrown by the Pain Bus allowed it to revive again.

The Pain Bus... was also very interested in this situation. It had never expected that things would turn out like this.

Originally, it just wanted to use the living rock as a storage or something and threw things here.

Of course, these things are not that important, so it doesn’t matter if other buses come to eat some.

Why... after the hardened neural structure was revived, a new consciousness suddenly emerged... This surprised the Pain Bus.

Then the Pain Bus continued to try to revive more neural structures, and it found that as long as it was left on the living rock for a long enough time, the consciousness of the living rock would emerge.

The neural structure that is not released long enough will become the consciousness of the original neural organism when it is revived.

Maybe it has been left there for too long, and something in the raw rock has 'eroded' these hardened nerves.

Pain Bus was very interested in this and began to study it carefully.

And Shengyan's consciousness... has been trying to communicate with the bus and express his gratitude to the bus.
