Chapter 221 Ancient Times

“This is our… origin.”

The overlappers never imagined that their own racial history would be in the body of a small pipe.

This small pipe is inhabited by many...overlapping people from different periods.

To be precise, it used the memories of overlappers from different periods to create many creatures on its body.

These creatures with memories of overlapping people from different periods live harmoniously on the small tube. They live in different areas on the small tube according to their own periods.

During the battle between the overlappers and the small pipes, they tried to climb onto the small pipes many times... and thus got to know these creatures that had memories of their own civilization.

No matter which period these creatures have memories of, they cooperate well with creatures from other periods.

They have been trying hard to survive here for a long time. Compared with the creatures that the overlappers encountered in the small pipe before...they are the ones who have lived the longest.

After the overlappers who successfully boarded the small pipe communicated with the creatures above, they discovered the reason why this small pipe was so powerful.

Mainly because these creatures... have created many devices here.

Although these creatures have memories of the Overlappers from various eras, they cannot create almost anything from past eras.

Of course, they do not have the abilities of true overlappers, such as combining into a unified consciousness.

However, through their cooperation, they successfully 'invented' some new technologies and produced many things.

They transformed the buildings on the original small pipes, built their own cities, and developed a prosperous...civilization.

As for their resources, they are all mined from small pipes, which contain quite a lot of resources.

But when they were preparing to develop further... for example, when they wanted to build an aircraft to leave the small pipe, they discovered some problems.

What they create will disappear.

If they create a flying vehicle or something, it will disappear the moment it is launched.

They have also produced many weapons and other things, which will also disappear directly.

This is actually the small pipes somehow directly 'taking' their creations and storing them in their bodies for their own use.

From this moment on, they began to try to fight against the small pipe.

They kept trying to create various things, because these things disappeared at different times... and they were also studying how the small pipes made their things disappear.

However, in continuous testing, they have never successfully escaped from the small pipe.

They make a lot of things, some of which have teleportation-like effects.

These things are usually normal during the testing phase, but they will disappear when they are intended for production use.

When the small pipes and the overlappers are at war, they are also constantly trying to send signals to the overlappers, but the signaling devices will also disappear.

And even if they sent out some signals, the overlappers never received them.

Until some overlappers successfully board the small pipe...they can't really connect.

After the overlappers communicated with these creatures, they unanimously decided to cooperate inside and outside to completely solve the problem of the small pipe.

In fact, this is very likely.

Because although these creatures cannot reproduce past technology in small pipes, the overlappers can.

These overlappers who boarded the small pipe tried to take some creatures away.

What’s more amazing is that it is relatively easy for the overlappers to escape or climb onto the small pipe.

However, if they want to climb the small pipe in large numbers or bring any powerful weapons, they will definitely be discovered.

This way, if you go in alone and then escape with only a few creatures, you'll be fine.

So the overlappers successfully returned to their city with some creatures that had their historical memories.

And these creatures... completely shared their historical memories with the overlappers.

The entire civilization of overlappers...or rather, the last civilization of overlappers has only just learned about their past.

They were born in the collapsing void and are an extremely developed civilization.

They themselves believe that they have reached...the peak of their development.

In the earliest times in memory, the Overlappers had extremely powerful abilities. They defeated many civilizations and dangers, and had energy and immense power to last almost forever.

At least that's what they thought at the time.

Their civilization has also entered a state of pure enjoyment.

What they mainly did at that time was to search for interesting creatures in the void. When they found a creature interesting, they would try to peel off part of their consciousness and then experience the life of this creature.

When the experience is over, they recycle it and retain it forever as a part of their body.

Their lives were a continual flow of experiences...and it felt pretty much the same as what they did later.

What interrupted their life was the collapse of the void.

They think...it's their own fault.

Because their civilization had already detected the 'wall' of the void.

They did not discover other voids at that time, but they believed that there must be other voids.

So they wanted to leave their own void and explore other places. At that time, the overlappers thought that they only needed to break the void... that "wall" to reach another void.

They made a special thing at that time, which was called a 'push ball'.

This thing can push the 'wall' of the void at a very slow speed.

Initially they used some small spaces for testing. Under the influence of the moving ball, the edges of the space would 'crack', eventually forming new entrances and exits.

They also believed that the walls of the void could be pushed away like space, but the speed was extremely slow.

Because it was too slow, they placed the sliding ball in many places and never paid any attention to it again, continuing their various experiences.

Later, the Collapse of the Void began to occur.

The overlappers believe that this is caused by them.

They noticed it some time after the collapse, and they discovered that the 'push ball' they placed had changed.

The number of these balls has increased.

After testing the overlappers, it was discovered that they had developed similar reproduction functions and their numbers were much greater than before.

And there are some huge 'wall cracks' around these balls, which seem to be caused by them.

It's just that these cracks occurred much faster than the overlappers predicted.

Even if all the balls are recovered, the cracks will continue to expand, and eventually... the void will collapse.

The overlappers believed that they were the culprits of the entire phenomenon, so they decided to take responsibility and repair the rifts.
