Chapter 2415: King of Mud
"It's still tens of millions of kilometers away from the gaseous star being cut apart..."
The Savior is now very nervous because the device it activated before... has no effect.
I don’t know if it’s because this is a normal void.
Its equipment did not attract the solidified creatures that were at war with the Phoenix, and the circular saw was still flying rapidly.
It is approaching a gas star.
Although Lin felt that the circular saw might not be able to cut off the gas star, the Savior obviously didn't want it to get close, but there was no weapon that could shoot down the circular saw...
Although it has a lot of equipment, these devices only contain things that can help it escape from here, and there are no powerful weapons.
The savior doesn't want to escape from here, otherwise... its mission to study the creatures here would be a failure.
They are very...responsible creatures, so they have to do their best.
However, there is actually another way, which is to... play an ancient story.
…………
That is a legend from long, long ago.
This satellite is inhabited by many species. Although it has not developed a powerful civilization, there are many primitive... you can say tribal biological groups.
Many primitive tribes of individual creatures have an ancient belief.
That is the story about the 'Lord of Mud'. Many tribes have an ancient legend that there is such a... creature deep underground.
Its shape in legend resembles a pool of mud, hence the name "King of Mud".
In tribal legends, all living things were created by the King of Mud. The mud on its body would sometimes separate from it and form one creature after another that crawled out of the ground and came to the bright earth.
It feels very similar to the myths and legends of many individual creatures. In short, this King of Mud created all things, and many individual creatures underground worship this ancient god.
But it is not just a simple legend.
Because the savior found the source of this legend.
That was when the machinery… lacked biological dust.
Lin already knew that due to the large number of machines produced, there was not enough biological dust to eat, which made the highly intelligent machines come up with... a plan to stop all the young machines from operating.
In the end, it was not the machine with the memory of the legendary phoenix that stopped this plan, but the Savior. However, at that time, the Savior had no good way to produce a large amount of biological dust to keep all the machines running.
Until...it discovered the 'Lord of Mud' deep underground.
The King of Mud, also called the 'Biological Spring' by the Saviors, is more like a...special phenomenon than a living thing.
Now the savior has brought Lin's ball of fluff to the location of the 'Mud King'.
This cave is like an ice cave, with both the ground and walls made up of ice crystal-like structures.
But this is not real ice...it just looks like ice. In fact, this cave is called the 'Cave of Eternal Storage'.
Because there are many scratches or debris on the ground and walls.
These are the traces left by the biological tribes long ago... or to be more precise, they are the legends about the 'Lord of Mud'.
It is said to be left by many different kinds of tribal creatures.
Some creatures communicate in a way similar to writing, so they leave marks on the ground. Some creatures use neural signals, so they leave a small shriveled nerve structure on the ground. Some creatures use sound, so they leave some sophisticated... small devices on the ground.
These small devices make a 'dong dong' sound when touched, and it is unknown how long they can be used after.
In short, no matter what means the creatures used to communicate, they all left their legends about the King of Mud here.
This ice-like cave, just as its name 'Cave of Eternal Treasure' suggests, perfectly preserves all the communication information left by all living creatures here. Even after a long time... those tribes that left the information have been extinct for who knows how long, but it can still be preserved here intact.
This is the most amazing thing about this cave, because so many creatures have come in and out that even if the things left behind do not rot here, they will be crushed.
But in reality this is not the case. No matter how fragile something is, it is preserved here intact.
This is mainly because the cave will 'restore' everything that is here.
Even if all the things storing information are destroyed, they will be restored after a period of time.
The contents of these information are very similar, which is to explain the greatness of the King of Mud and that the King of Mud created everything.
Some simply tell the legend of the Mud King's creation of creatures, while others are more complex stories. Several tribes add a lot of information to the information...their own gods, and then tell stories about the Mud King's interactions with them.
Others tell the love story between the Mud King and ordinary tribesmen.
In short, these legends are the key to summoning the King of Mud.
Just use the language of these tribal creatures... any creature will do, as long as it has left a message in this cave.
If three 'correct' Mud King stories are read in the cave in the tribal language, the Mud King will appear.
So the Savior must read the story before summoning the Mud King.
The 'right stories' are simply the legends about the Mud King's creations.
As for the records of the Mud King interacting with the imaginary gods of the tribal creatures, that is a false story.
The Saviors initially discovered this place by accident, and by chance... summoned the Mud King.
Although all the creatures have become extinct, the machines here have inherited their memories, so it is easy to understand the language of the tribal creatures through the machines.
Also because of the summoning of the Mud King...the Saviors successfully solved the problem related to biological dust.
The biological dust that actually sustains the machinery of the entire world now...
Almost all of them are made from the 'body' of the Mud King.
So what exactly is the King of Mud?
The saviors believe that... this is the source of life for all living things in this world.
Indeed, just as described in the legend, it created most of the species in the world.
It stands to reason that since most species can be turned into biological dust, the Mud King itself can also be turned into biological dust.
In the last summoning, the Mud King provided the world with dust that could be used for quite a long time.
And the savior has now decided to summon it again, letting it come... to save the world.
So, after reading three of the various stories recorded in the cave...
Lin discovered that the whole world was in turmoil. 8)
