Chapter 2607 The Origin of Flowers?
"You...want to look for that legendary world?"
"The world you call the 'third world'?"
"You have to know that there has never been any third realm."
"All you can find...are countless imitations...They are all imitations!"
This is a legend from long, long ago.
A legend about a creature that roams the void.
The body shape of this creature is like a flower, and they have been living in... a void tunnel.
They move in the void tunnels similarly to plankton, floating around and collecting food.
They have never had anything special to do, nor have they wanted to do anything special.
But there is something special about them, that is, these flower-like creatures are said to have a huge ecosystem.
But they themselves are not huge.
The diameter of these flower-shaped creatures is no more than a few dozen meters at most. Because of their very... leisurely lifestyle, they are usually not noticed by other creatures.
But among all the creatures that existed over a long period of time, there was some that noticed them and began to... observe them.
The most special thing about the 'flower creatures' themselves is their ecology.
They are tens of meters in size, but their bodies have extremely complex environments. On each of their "petals", there are more than tens of millions of creatures, and these creatures are inhabited by even smaller creatures.
They form a very complex ecological relationship with each other, and the biological ecology on each petal is "independent", and these organisms rarely intersect with those on another petal.
Mainly because the intervals between each petal of a petal creature are actually their...feeding organs.
This feeding organ generates a strong 'energy' that makes it difficult for the species between each petal to come into contact with the species on another petal.
Why they have such complex ecological forms is a mystery and may have been generated by chance.
But this is very special. Although there are always many creatures living on various creatures that mainly live on the water, none of them are as numerous as flowers.
Perhaps only a star as huge as a bus could have so many creatures living on its surface.
For a long time, only the flower creatures themselves knew that they had this ecosystem, and they didn't care.
Until sometime.
By chance, a creature noticed the situation of the flower. Perhaps it initially captured a flower, and soon it was attracted by the complex ecology on the flower's skin.
"Is this a miracle? Is this a miracle that happened by chance?"
It is said that this is what the creature was thinking at the time.
Then, it began to study flower biology, and its research goal was to find the source of the complex ecology of flowers.
By observing the flowers' daily lifestyles, where they go, etc., the creature came to a conclusion.
That's 'impossible'.
Although flowers are drifting organisms, they essentially move within a certain range.
No matter how it is calculated, it is impossible for flowers themselves to 'naturally' produce such a complex ecology. There must be other factors.
So it investigates the details of the flower more deeply.
This includes the various structures within the flower, as well as details about each species that lives within it.
Then it came to another conclusion.
That is, the flower is a 'shrinker', that is, the flower was once a very huge creature.
They have experienced something that caused them to shrink to their current size. When they were originally huge, there were many creatures living on their bodies, but these creatures also experienced some reason and shrunk along with them to their current size.
Although it is not known how it came to this conclusion, the creature believes that its conclusion must be correct.
So it came up with an idea to restore the flower to its original huge shape.
Then...it began its long torture of the flower.
What this creature does is simple: it just tries to make the flower bigger in various ways.
For example, it has tried adding layers of shells on them, or stuffing a lot of fillers into their bodies... These methods have almost no effect.
Why it was able to do such a detailed study using such... naive methods is unknown.
Later, the creature left because of other things and could not continue studying the flowers.
But they left behind something that could help it continue studying flowers, that is... a monster called "Explosive Swallow".
'Baotun' is called this name because its main function is to eat flowers.
From the moment it appears, it hunts down every flower it encounters, eats it, and... breaks it down in its body.
This was also the last thought of that creature before it left.
It may have thought that if it couldn't increase the size of the flowers by simple means, then it could just crush them all and collect them together, and in doing so they would become larger and larger.
As long as all the flowers are eaten, 'Explosion' will become quite large, which can be regarded as restoring the flower's previous shape.
Faced with the 'explosive swallowing' that constantly hunted and killed the flowers, the flowers were initially powerless to resist.
'Explosive Swallow' itself is shaped like a shark and is hundreds of meters long. It can move at high speed in a void tunnel environment and has the ability to quickly discover flowers.
It itself is a creature that is... designed to grow infinitely by devouring flowers.
This also makes the creature that created the 'Explosion Devour' seem even more amazing... If it can create such a thing, why would it use such a... childish method at the beginning?
All in all, flowers cannot block the attack of 'Explosive Swallowing'.
The flowers themselves are not very aggressive. Although they are intelligent enough and know how to escape, it is still meaningless.
But 'Explosive Devour' did not complete its creature of devouring all the flowers.
This is mainly because the flower...some species in its complex ecology put an end to it.
Why start with such a...childish approach?
