Chapter 3103 Process and Mystery

“Heat is like religion.”

“They all fought for it.”

"But why exactly was that? Do you remember?"

“I don’t remember.”

The world of the Starflame People succumbed to the cold, which is an unforgivable sin.

So they left the world they once lived in and headed towards the depths of the void.

However, another group of Star Flame people thought this was great... Their world, Star Flame Castle, shared with them the technology and knowledge to make themselves adaptable to low temperatures.

It allows them to directly face the cold disaster that originally terrified them, turning them into complete... cryogenic creatures.

After that, they lived here as cryogenic organisms.

After the cold crisis, their world froze... and became a frost-white world like the current database.

Their world is no longer called Starflame Castle, but has a new name "Frost Castle".

Lin thinks that the residents living here can also be called "Frost People". They live a new life here.

However, their new life did not last long.

Because, Flame Planet is back.

It is said that at that time, the sky of Frost Castle was lit up with countless lights, and a large number of flaming planets appeared in the sky.

These flame planets also believed that their giant counterpart called Frostburg was a traitor to them, and they decided to destroy the world.

But Frostburg believes that there is no point in them constantly pursuing extreme high temperatures. No matter what the temperature is... as long as they can survive.

Although the Flame Planets at that time all looked alive, it was said that their temperatures had been dropping since the cold disaster... and they were "extinguished" one by one.

However, these flame planets are still unwilling to change their temperature, and they intend to pursue the state of "eternal flame" until death.

Thus, a battle between cold and extreme heat began.

The results of this war were devastating, killing Frostburg and all of its 'Frost Folk'.

And all the Flame Planets that attacked Frost Castle also died in this war.

It can be said that there is no winner in this war.

However, Frostburg is not completely destroyed. Although its mind is dead... its body is still floating in the void.

What I didn’t expect was…

……………………

"After so much time... we can see Frostburg again and return to our home again."

Lin found that the cubs were now in a very... sighing state.

"Aren't you the people of Star Flame?" Lin asked them.

"...No, we are the inhabitants of the extreme cold." A cub answered: "Our will remains in their bodies."

"Now, we have finally awakened... We... must go home! Go home! Go home! Go home!"

The group of cubs jumped up excitedly and then ran quickly in one direction.

And Lin also floated over with them.

Lin asked them carefully, but they actually didn't know what was going on.

In short, they now all consider themselves to be the 'Frost People', so this is their home.

The problem is that this "home" has changed drastically.

How it came to be a database during this period is completely unknown.

The Codex is said to be 'separated' from its creator's source world.

But if what these cubs say now is true, then maybe this statement... is wrong?

It is possible that the creator found the body of 'Frostburg' and transformed it into a database.

Or maybe the cubs mistook this place for Frostburg or something like that.

All in all, there are many possibilities.

During the conversation with the cub, Lin also mentioned the previous attack on the database.

The cub told Lin that if the attacker matched Lin's description exactly, then he might be the Star Burner.

It is a very ancient thermophilic organism that is said to spread high temperatures.

Its favorite thing to do is to turn a cold world into a burning world, so it is called this.

It had a very good relationship with the people of Star Flame and the Flame Planet, but when the cold disaster was about to come... it disappeared.

But since the Flame Planet and its people had been 'sleeping' for some reason and had awakened now, perhaps some of those ancient high-temperature creatures would survive.

This... is quite interesting.

"We're here! It's right here! Here!"

The cubs now came under another... ice-blue 'willow tree'.

Lin asked them what these willow trees were, and they said that willow trees were the original species of "Frost Castle".

To be precise, it is one of the species that appeared after Frost Castle cooled itself down... When it was still Starflame Castle, there were many high-temperature creatures there. After it became cold, these high-temperature creatures quickly disappeared, and many cold creatures emerged.

By simply 'eating' these creatures, they will recall their previous feelings more fully.

That is to restore the memory of the past when they lived in Frostburg. Now they only remember the general things and not many details.

What Lin was more puzzled about was why the database became cold and then such an environment appeared.

Even now there are Frostburg...species appearing?

Lin thought it was possible that Frostburg was not dead.

Its consciousness might still be alive, and could freeze the database the moment it awakens and regain control of the body.

Right now it seems like this is the most likely possibility.

After all, these creatures, who were originally the young of the Star Flame People, suddenly awakened the memories of the 'Frost People'.

This feels amazing.

But what about these particles containing Ersh information and the group of creatures here that eat the particles?

Perhaps the various changes here are the result of the Database and Frostburg fighting for control of this 'body'?

The golden sphere...where did it go?

Lin felt that there were many questions about this place, and she felt that she needed to find its consciousness in order to answer them.

Whether it is the consciousness of Frostburg or the consciousness of the database.

But now I don’t know where that place is... Maybe it’s deep underground. Lin has been searching in many places now.

“This feeling…this feeling!”

As before, the cubs 'ate' whatever was hanging from the ends of the willow branches.

They became excited again.

However, this excitement is not the excitement of happiness, but an emotion like extreme sadness.

"…it really has…"

This group of cubs all continued to emit incredible light.

Lin asked them about it, and one of the cubs told her, "Just now...it really died."
