Chapter 3126 Thoughts

“What…happened?”

"When will the changes in this world end?"

"I don't know...but we can only stay here."

High temperatures are spreading across the world.

Not long ago, Ersh successfully locked the location of the Starburner's core... and sent a very powerful freezing bomb to the location of the core.

At that moment, the entire Star Burner trembled violently.

It seemed that the bomb had taken effect. The Starburner stopped all movements after the tremor.

But... at the same time, abnormalities appeared on Ershi, and intense heat spread on Ershi.

It seemed as if all temperature control devices had lost their effect, and the surface of Ersh seemed to have completely turned into a high-temperature zone.

This looks like an attack by the Starburner on Ersh.

It’s not entirely like that, though.

"I felt it..." because Ersh said so to Lin.

The moment it sent the bomb to the core of the Starburner, or more precisely, the moment it passed through the ancient passage, it felt a strange message.

This is a special message, a 'story' about the Starburners.

It’s a little different from the legend Lin knew before, or rather, it’s a more complicated story than the legend.

When Ersh sent these stories to Lin...Lin immediately knew that they were made by the database.

The database sent these stories over when Ersh 'attacked' the core of the Starburner.

However, its purpose is not to tell Ersh this story, but to have other purposes.

In fact, before this, Lin could roughly guess what it would do, but she was not sure how it would do it specifically.

And now, Lin can see the purpose of the database from the story content.

………………

Starburners...a long time ago, they wandered in the void, looking for various high-temperature creatures and awakening them.

Yongyan was also with the Starburner at that time, and they did have a very special relationship.

In fact, the Starburner itself is 'silent'.

Most of the time, the Starburner is in an 'extinguished' state similar to the current black fog.

In this state, the Starburner has no consciousness and will not take any action.

And the Eternal Flame... can restore consciousness to the Star Burner.

It can 'burn' the Star Burner at any time to revitalize its entire body, and the Star Burner will then become conscious.

After a period of time, the Starburner will go out again.

Eternal Flame will only revive it when necessary, usually leaving the Starburner in an extinguished state, but even when extinguished it can still be used as a 'flying vehicle'.

Yongyan has been riding the Starburner to look for targets everywhere.

And they seek out these high-temperature creatures to awaken them, not for any purpose like believing in high temperatures.

Mostly for the sake of... 'ending'.

These high-temperature organisms generally have a cycle of burning, extinguishing, dying, and reproducing.

There are many complicated processes involved, but to put it simply... a thermophilic organism is not always at a high temperature.

It will naturally go out after a period of time, and then some small creatures will be born from its 'ashes'.

These organisms will grow slowly, and in the process they will increase their temperature and constantly change their form. Finally, they will grow back to their original high-temperature organisms.

In other words... the Star Flame People were actually born from the ashes of the extinguished Eternal Flame.

The eternal flame they constantly pursue is actually a normal cycle.

The same is true for many other high-temperature organisms.

In fact, the whole process has many complex steps, and it is the main ecology of high-temperature organisms.

And at some point, some thermophilic organisms tried to change this cycle.

They refused the extinguishing process... and fell asleep.

This slumber puts them into a state where the temperature is lower but not extinguished.

At the same time, they also produce offspring through other methods instead of going out.

Whether these high-temperature creatures want to survive forever or for some other reason is not made clear in the story.

Starburner and Eternal Flame took action in order to correct their behavior.

They awaken the thermophilic organisms, in effect returning them to 'normal' life.

Some high-temperature organisms are willing to be awakened, while others are not. Those that are unwilling will generally be "eliminated".

Those who are willing will be able to continue living.

They do this not to maintain the ecology or the cycle, but to welcome the arrival of the 'end'.

These high-temperature organisms have persisted for quite some time, and their ecology has reached the end stage.

That is the moment called the end.

Eventually all high-temperature organisms will die in the endless cycle.

The Starburner and the Eternal Flame are there to ensure this final end.

Why they do this...that's not clear, maybe the two of them belong to a very special kind of monitor role.

Perhaps some creature was aware of this and tried to reverse the process... and they made sure that didn't happen.

Yongyan had been doing this with the Starburner... until something happened.

The Eternal Flame dissipated.

The story doesn't give the detailed reasons.

But... it ignited the Starburner at the last moment.

Originally, most of the Star Burners were in deep sleep and were only awakened occasionally.

And the Eternal Flame kept the Star Burner in a state of continuous burning at the last moment.

After that, the Starburners continued to do what they had done before, but their methods were a little different.

Before Eternal Flame dissipated, he told the Starburner.

If it can keep burning for a period of time, the eternal flame will revive again.

Eternal Flame hopes that the Starburner will...revive it.

Therefore, the Starburner has been working hard to maintain the burning state.

There is not only one way to revive the Eternal Flame. In fact, it can also be "evolved" through other Star Flame people.

Anyway, Yongyan also said at that time that if it appeared again...'the end' would come with it.

It seemed like so much time had passed...Yongyan still hadn't woken up.

………………

Of course, the content of this story has no direct connection with the database. The database just knows this story and uses it.

The database has now almost completely occupied Frostburg, and it discovered this information in the process of occupying Frostburg.

The main reason why the database is sending this information now is... it 'disguised' itself as Eternal Flame.

Although Lin knows that this information is sent from the database, after the Star Burner receives it, it will think that it is Yongyan's... message, and the Star Burner will also think that Yongyan has woken up.
