Chapter 251 Signal
These creatures are called signal ghosts.
They are a group of creatures wandering around in the void, and from the appearance they look like translucent ghosts.
It is shaped like a jellyfish and is generally tens of meters in size.
According to Sharlene, these are quite interesting creatures because they were born from signals.
The main reason for their appearance is that there are many ruins of civilization nearby.
These ruins of civilizations are all ruins that have long been extinct. They belong to many different civilizations... but these civilizations have one thing in common, that is, they can communicate with nearby civilizations.
What's interesting is that these civilizations never actually saw each other.
They are far away from each other and have no technology to approach each other.
It is not known which civilization initiated it first. One civilization sent some signals, which were then received by another civilization.
The civilization that received the signal became puzzled. Although they had no idea what the signal contained, they believed that it was not a common natural phenomenon, so they tried to analyze it and then tried to respond.
The civilization that originally sent the signal also received the reply signal, and then they also tried to interpret it... and then reply.
They had never met each other before and had no idea of each other's civilization, but they kept trying to send signals to each other and tried to understand the content of these signals. Gradually, they went from being unable to communicate to being able to communicate a little.
At this time, a third civilization discovered the signals from the two civilizations, and it also tried to analyze and reply to the signals.
Next... more and more civilizations joined in.
None of these civilizations have the technology to navigate to the location of another civilization, but they can all receive these signals to some extent.
And they all have the idea of trying to interpret these signals and communicate with other civilizations.
Gradually, these civilizations were able to analyze more and more content, and learned about the situations of other civilizations through communication.
They began to communicate more, mainly about technology. Although some civilizations were constantly strengthening their military defenses, there had never been any war between these civilizations.
The only way one civilization can communicate with other civilizations has always been through signals.
They created devices that were more efficient and could send more complex signals, and they kept trying to improve the technology, until they all ended up with very similar communication devices.
Because these civilizations constantly send signals to communicate, many areas where large numbers of signals intersect are created in the void between them.
Ghosts are born in this kind of signal. When a large number of signals intersect, they may appear and disappear after a period of time.
They are made of a mixture of 'matter', some of which comes from unforeseen places, and some of which is normal void.
But originally these things were just floating alone in the void. It seemed that because of a large number of signals, they gathered together and formed this ghost-like... shape.
Initially these signal ghosts were harmless, but over time they became harmful.
Sharlene said they once caused a 'signal war'.
These civilizations that interacted with each other all appeared friendly on the surface, but in fact they were all imagining situations of war.
They imagine what would happen if they invaded other civilizations or were invaded by other civilizations... So many civilizations try to use various methods to get more information from each other during the communication process.
Every civilization hides its true strength and tries to understand the strength of other civilizations.
During the peak period of their signal communication, the signal ghost may approach a civilization.
As the signal ghost approaches, this civilization becomes more suspicious than ever before.
They will begin to suspect that a nearby civilization is very likely to invade them, and thus begin to frantically produce large quantities of weapons... and conduct various training against the invasion, etc.
At the same time, there will be other opposing forces emerging in this civilization who believe that there is no need to prepare a large number of weapons, and that such preparation is meaningless and will consume a lot of resources.
Then, a lot of chaos will gradually appear in this civilization. When ghosts approach, their anxiety and other emotions... seem to be magnified many times.
As a result, the entire civilization soon fell into various civil wars and slowly perished.
There are also some more united civilizations that are beginning to become anxious and feel that they should launch an attack first... They have formed large armies to try to invade other civilizations.
Some civilizations will also deliberately tell other civilizations that they are going to attack them, and then prepare large armies waiting for the invasion.
These civilizations remained like this for a long time, constantly busy preparing for possible wars.
But until the end, no civilization had ever...directly contacted another civilization.
When they finally perished, all they knew about other civilizations was the signals they communicated with.
Some civilizations tried to attack and invade other civilizations, but they never reached the other's location.
From the beginning to the end, many civilizations have seen such things as signal ghosts, but they have never associated signal ghosts with their signal exchanges, but simply regarded them as strange void phenomena.
When these civilizations perished, the signal ghosts...did not disappear.
Because the communication devices created by these civilizations are still preserved, these devices can be said to be the most technologically advanced things in their civilization.
They are still sending signals, and the signal ghosts are still wandering in the void between these civilizations.
Sharin encountered and studied these ghostly things at some point, learned about these civilizations and confirmed that they were a kind of creature that mixed two kinds of void 'substances'.
However, they did not last long and disappeared because the signal devices did not continue to work.
What is unexpected now is that these creatures appear again.
It also became an obstacle to the visual space... After the space "collided" with these ghosts, it stopped moving forward like before, and that's not all.
After the collision, Lin found that the entire space was shaking constantly.
Moreover, many things appeared in this small space accompanied by the shaking.
These things are all...living things.
According to Sharin's description, these creatures are the group of extinct civilized creatures.
They suddenly appeared in large numbers in this small space. Of course, they were not entities, but something like illusions.
Lin noticed that these creatures were very small, each less than one meter long, and they all had many limbs.
While Lin was still observing them, they suddenly attacked Sharin who was in the center of the space.
