Chapter 266: The End of the Safe Zone

"They're...over."

Many creatures are living a 'safe' life.

The exact size of the safe zone cannot be confirmed at present, but Sharin thinks it is probably more than ten light years.

At that time, many hybrid creatures were brought here by the aircraft set up by the bus. Since the bus did not send any broadcast information after its death, most of the creatures that came later arrived out of curiosity.

Those aircraft would stop in some remote places in the territory of biological civilization, and many creatures were brought here because they were curious and went in to check it out.

Then a small number of these brought creatures settled in this place.

Without the guidance of the bus, they did not know that they were entering the mixed void. In fact, the entrance to the mixed void, which is the huge vortex, would not normally be visible.

As these alien creatures became more and more numerous, they began to gather together.

To be precise, it is because of the 'broken plants' that they gather together.

Although the entire safe zone is large, these creatures are basically crowded within the range of a galaxy.

That is near the entrance and exit of the mixed void.

They originally lived on some huge floating rocks, collecting resources from them and living... a very ordinary life.

Of course, many creatures could not survive and died, and those that survived found that the "world" they lived in... was constantly changing.

Mainly due to the impact of plant fragmentation.

Broken plants continued to grow in this void. They initially grew on many rocks. The creatures here felt that the broken plants were a great threat, so they cleared them out.

But it didn't take long for them to discover... broken plants could even grow in the void.

In the void where there is nothing, broken plants can also grow slowly, becoming bigger and bigger over a long period of time.

These civilized creatures also had a new view of the broken plants. They regarded the broken plants as... bridges.

The fragments of vegetation that continue to grow and become extremely large can connect to the rocks where other organisms live.

The broken plants do not grow randomly in the void. They will grow towards the surrounding floating objects, and finally connect two distant floating objects together.

Therefore, the creatures living here...also began to mix together.

These creatures were relatively peaceful at first, because any civilization here was inherently a hybrid.

Many creatures were brought here by aircraft, but when they found that the aircraft was not moving, they left the aircraft... and floated to the nearby rocks and began to live.

Of course, there are also some creatures that kill all other species and only leave their own species before they start living.

In any case, their fates were slowly linked together by the broken plants.

Then there was a lot of communication between these species... there was friendly trade, there were wars and so on.

But no matter how they do it, they are indeed developing...quite safely.

This place became what Ersh called a safe zone, and over the long years, no overly powerful creatures came to disturb them.

After experiencing countless things, only one kind of creature remained here, and they destroyed all other civilized species here through various means.

These creatures have turned the safe zone into their own civilized territory.

Although the area they occupy is still very small, there are no other civilized creatures in the safe zone.

This last remaining group of creatures did not actively develop;

That is the worship of the mixed void.

These creatures began to believe in the Mixed Void because during their long development here, they saw the opening of the entrance several times.

Every time the entrance opens, they can feel that there is something mysterious inside.

Each time I turn it on, the feeling becomes stronger than the last time.

This slowly made this group of creatures eager to enter the mixed void.

It seems that this is because something happened inside the mixed void.

Originally, because the bus kept throwing the mixture in, the place was in a state of chaos.

It was a bit like a continuous storm, but after a long time...it stopped.

The mixture thrown in by the bus has stabilized and turned into something that has a certain ability to attract creatures outside.

The civilized creatures outside, because they can occasionally feel this attraction, begin to become... fascinated.

They began to desire to enter the mixed void, and as a result many religions and so on were born.

The goal of these sects is similar, which is to wait for the entrance to open again and then enter the mixed void.

Later, all the sects were unified together, and this idea spread to the entire civilization, making all creatures of the entire civilization look forward to entering the mixed void.

Although the interval between each opening is much longer than the lifespan of these creatures, they still try to wait from generation to generation.

However, they did not wait until it opened again.

That huge, vortex-like entrance has never been opened since the entire civilization began to yearn for the mixed void.

But their worship led to other changes.

Like the broken plants, they began to exhibit strange behaviors, absorbing and transmitting energy in the surroundings and becoming "activated" at the same time.

To put it simply, it can move, changing from its original plant-like state to an animal-like state.

The civilized creatures here have never figured out what the broken plants actually are.

Because the broken plants can grow out of thin air and seem to not need any nutrients, there are also many unclear points about their composition.

This is true even if the civilization here has developed for a long time.

At this time, most of the civilized buildings were built on huge fragments.

Only a small part of the broken plants moved, but even so it had a significant impact on them.

But they also regarded this as a sign that the entrance was opening, and then they became even more... expectant.

In the end, they died in anticipation.

The main reason for their demise was that the broken plants teleported something else.

These things can be said to be a group of relatively powerful void creatures.

Although this is a safe zone, other void creatures will still enter here under some special circumstances.

These void creatures destroyed the civilization here, and then they stayed here for a while.

At this time, the entrance to the mixed void opened, and then they entered the mixed void.

The cylindrical ruins that Ershi had asked the departing Ershi people to stay in were what was left over from the past civilization of the safe zone.

And now Lin, Ersh and Sharin have come to the mixed void. While learning about this part of history... they have also seen the culprit who destroyed the safe zone civilization.

This is also a hybrid creature.
