Chapter 86: The Long Time

"That's an old plan."

“But there’s only one successful example.”

Distant shadows, those huge consciousnesses have moved far away from their original locations and headed to unknown places.

The fragments didn't know where they went.

In the perception of the fragments, the consciousness of these distant shadows is like a huge... colorful void.

It was actually quite similar to the colorful area it was previously in, except much larger than its own.

It could slightly sense some of the thoughts of the Distant Shadow.

Thus, we learned that these distant shadows were carrying out a plan.

They condense their huge consciousness into a very small "dot", and then put this point into the normal void, and let it merge with certain things there.

And there is only one successful example of this plan.

Suiying believes that the only successful person is Lin.

But it actually doesn't know what the details are, because what it perceived at the time was not clear, or it can be said that it only perceived a small part of these huge consciousnesses.

The creature that had been teaching Shadow believed that Shadow had sensed the "critical point", after which it left.

Before leaving for the last time, the creature expressed its intention to find their concentrated consciousness creatures in the normal void.

Since the fragment cannot move, it can only stay where it is and watch the creature leave.

However, the creature did not abandon it completely.

Because after it left, the creature had been in contact with the fragments through a method, mainly sending the scenery along the way to the fragments.

Shattered Shadow has always thought this was a very interesting thing, because this creature entered the normal void and was given a lot of normal void scenery.

The fragment felt as if it was traveling with it, swimming freely in the normal void.

But at some point later, the fragment suddenly discovered that the information transmitted to it by the creature had stopped.

The last message the creature sent was that it said it had found... concentrated consciousness.

After that, it didn't send any more information.

Fragment has been staying here all the time, observing the various creatures around it and the changes in the environment.

It has been here for quite a long time and it has never moved... It means it's not that it doesn't want to move, but that it hasn't tried.

Although it was very interested in the environment outside, it did not try to leave.

It mainly uses another method to understand the situation outside, which is to extend its own consciousness...

The fragment discovered that the range it could perceive was very large.

This takes some practice though.

It can sense the movement of various dream energies around it, and can also sense the creatures active within this range.

It has been observing many situations around it in this way, and has extended its observation range to very far places through practice.

But at some point, Shattered Shadow discovered that his perception could no longer grow.

No matter how it practiced, it could only maintain a certain range... At this time, it also discovered that its own perception range was actually the coverage range of the original distant shadow.

It can make its perception range reach the edge of the coverage of the Distant Shadow through continuous efforts, but it cannot extend it beyond that.

Even so, it felt enough.

Because it can sense some areas of the desired space in this position.

Then, the fragment began a long... observation.

It is very interested in this matter, and there are quite a lot of creatures within its perception range.

They are all dream creatures... During this time, Fragment watched their ongoing ecology.

These creatures continue to come, leave, die, or be born, and many of them have even created huge group civilizations.

It's just that none of them lasted long.

Fragmented Shadow had no special opinions about the various situations of these creatures; it simply enjoyed observing them.

And at some point, it suddenly sensed some special signals.

This information came from the normal void, and it felt like it was sent to it by the creature that taught it.

But this signal was not sent by that creature, but came from some creatures in the normal void.

That is the creature that Lin calls 'Flame Stone'.

Whenever a flame stone grows to a point where its brain develops and it begins to recall its past experiences, its experiences... will also be sent to the fragment at this time.

It seems that there is some special thing installed in each flame stone, which enables them to transmit signals to the fragments.

Of course, Flame Stone itself doesn't know.

Therefore, Shadow Fragment developed a strong interest in creatures like Flame Stone. It learned a lot about the normal void through Flame Stone.

However, there was still no trace of the creature that had taught it before.

Until the fragment discovered... Ershimin.

It is said that at some time in the past, a flame stone was collected by a group of Ershi people.

It seemed that the Ershi people at that time treated it as just an ordinary mineral, and it just so happened that this flame stone was almost reaching the age to grow a brain.

When the flame stone grew a brain, Fragment also learned about the Ershi people through its memories.

The first group of Ershi people it discovered were a group of Ershi people wandering in the void.

They live in huge space stations and collect minerals and other resources from outside to survive.

This flame stone was collected as a mineral and then piled up in the warehouse without being used.

Shattered Shadow found this very interesting, because these Ershi people looked very...similar to the creature that taught it.

But no one of the Ershi people... has the knowledge of that creature.

Fragmented Shadow discovered that these Ershi people didn't seem to know much about the normal void, and of course they didn't show any knowledge of unforeseen places.

The second time the fragment discovered Er Shimin, he was in the space of hope.

Hope Space obtained data of various normal void creatures and gave birth to many creatures.

This also includes the Ershi people.

Only then did Shattered Shadow have the opportunity to study these creatures carefully, and it discovered that these Ershi people were indeed... very fragile creatures.

Although it looks similar to the creature it taught it before, it has none of its abilities.

At that time, it also felt the need to leave its original position in order to better understand the situation outside.

In fact, it wanted to contact the Ershi people to see what was so special about them. It felt that long-distance detection was not comprehensive.

Moreover, it always felt that these Ershi people... could lead it to find the creature that once taught it.

The Fragment took many actions, and finally one of the plans allowed it to successfully leave its original place.
