Chapter 59: Expedition

"Distant Expedition?"

The story of these Ershi people starts from the 'future'.

Because their story... is related to the huge Ershi people in the previous hope space.

After Ershi's travel space reached a safe area, the Ershi people were placed on a tumbler to develop on their own.

And Ersh started his journey on his own.

However, there is a group of Ershi people who hope that Ershi can take them away. They are members of a group called "Ershi Sect".

That is to say, Ershi is worshipped as a god.

Although there were already many Ershi people who worshipped Ershi, when Ershi decided to keep them... most of the Ershi people decided to stay on the new tumblers with their companions.

This group of sect members worship Ersh extremely and they believe that they are Ersh's...cells.

Must follow Ersh forever.

So, when Ershi left, they kept begging Ershi to take them with him, and they wanted to live on Ershi forever.

Then, Ershi did not leave them with the other Ershi people, but took them away.

However, Ersh did not always keep them with him. It is said that at some point Ersh gave them a mission.

Let them launch 'expeditions' to unforeseen places.

The entire expedition process was very complicated.

The process involves them peeling their consciousness away from reality and entering the space of hope.

This took them many generations, many generations of...life, but they didn't tell Lin about it in detail.

The main thing is that they slowly transform themselves from real creatures into dream creatures, and then travel step by step in the space of hope.

Finally, they arrived here, after many generations.

Because after becoming dream creatures, they still maintain "normal" reproduction.

The whole journey takes time not only in the distance, but also in the study of space.

Ersh initially gave them some technology, but even so they still spent a lot of time figuring out how to... move forward in this place.

Generations of research have been accumulated, allowing them to slowly move forward.

After a long journey, they finally approached their goal... They thought they had reached the edge of an unforeseen place.

Just a little bit and they'll be able to get in there.

And this little bit is the lamp that Lin is holding.

This kind of lamp is called the "Eternal Lamp" here because it will keep crawling towards an unpredictable direction.

Lin had previously thought that it was made by the cultivator so there was only one, but it turns out that there are actually many of these lamps.

The Ershi people of the expedition team also learned about the lamp through their own research. They did not initially know that the lamp had this function.

After they came here, they kept studying how to reach unforeseen places, and gradually they realized that this kind of light was the key.

It is unclear whether the lights themselves are living creatures or some special prop, but they appear occasionally on this rocky plain.

There are many creatures that will search for and obtain these lights, and then take them with them on their journeys.

In fact, one of the Ershi camps recently obtained a lamp, and they took the lamp to unforeseen places.

But it is not clear whether it has actually arrived or not.

These Ershi people have many camps here, and the relationship between each camp is not good.

Because of some trivial disputes and desire for power, the Ershi people in the expedition were not peaceful.

They have been in a state of separation and reunion for a long time.

At present, they are in a state of division. Although there is no direct armed conflict between each camp, they will not help each other.

Lin thinks these Ershi people are quite interesting.

Just like the giant Ershi people encountered in the hope space before, they all seemed to be the products of Ershi in the "future"... that is, after reaching the destination in the travel space.

Where did they come from? Did they really come from the future?

Or was it Ershi's "vision" of the future that created this group of Ershi people in the space of hope?

In any case, they all believe that the travel space has reached its destination.

Lin also found it amazing that they could reach this location through research... It took the cultivators a long time to learn about the creatures here.

They did not give details of the research.

They also kept asking about Lin's identity, and Lin told them that Veronica was not an Ershimin.

Lin is an outsider...traveler, looking for an unforeseen place just like them.

After Lin said this, they did not attack Lin or anything, but if Lin came over in the form of a fluff ball, they would definitely fight.

Because they have lived here for a long time, there are no creatures here that can communicate with them.

So they all agree that any creature that is not of the same kind is dangerous.

Even if Veronica is not an Ershi people, being able to transform into their form and communicate with them... is already very good.

Next, the Ershi people expected Lin to go with them to an unforeseen place.

As long as we have that lamp, we should be able to reach our destination.

There was no problem going with them...so Lin agreed.

In fact, it is safer to have them.

Because Lin didn't know what kind of creatures there were here, she asked them about this.

The star-shaped string creatures they had before were called "puppet stars".

It is a kind of creature that has been trying to control other creatures since birth.

They will continue to control various creatures, including the Ershi people.

The more powerful puppet stars can even control extremely large creatures.

The ones Lin saw were called "apprentice puppet stars" by them. They were also the young of puppet stars, practicing to control other creatures. At the same time, they could also absorb nutrients from the controlled creatures.

In addition to the Puppet Star, there are also quite a lot of dangerous creatures, which are actually creatures from unpredictable places.

These creatures live their own lives in this 'border world' and actually do not know the Ershi people.

But sometimes when they see the Ershi people there, they might think, "This might be edible," or just think they are ugly and attack them.

But the most dangerous ones are the creatures that steal the light.

The Ershi people didn’t know why...many creatures also wanted to steal this kind of lamp and go to unforeseen places.

If you encounter them on the road, it will definitely lead to a fierce battle.

However, it is impossible for them not to set off, and there will be many dangers if they continue to stay.

So after the communication, Lin's Veronica and the group of Ershi people set out on their journey.
