Chapter 338 Static Diffusion

The disaster called stillness...is not over yet.

A civilization quickly fell into ruins.

Since Huangwo was unable to activate his weapon, he was of course unable to deal with the flying fragments.

These fragments that emerged from the vortex were the main reason for the prosperity of their civilization, but now they are also the disaster that destroys them.

Huge fragments shattered the outer shells of floating cities, turning them into ruins.

When the storm of fragments ended, all the cities in Huangwo... were almost all destroyed.

Of course, some cities survived. These cities were far away and had other cities acting as shields, so they did not suffer much damage.

But they also fell into a state of complete paralysis. Almost all instruments, technical products and other things could not function... These desolate vortices living in the city were also completely trapped there.

Soon, they began to attack each other for food, and one after another, the wild vortices died in the civil war.

In the end, only a very small number of wild vortices were left wandering in these cities. Because their numbers were too small, they could no longer reproduce.

Moreover, they have no idea of ​​any other reproduction method except the 'traditional reproduction' that involves gathering more than a dozen wild vortexes.

Therefore, they can only wander in the once civilized cities, waiting for the extinction of their race.

There is another figure wandering in the ruins, that is a civilized creature.

It is in a city destroyed by huge fragments, but it is not dead. It wanders here like a ghost, looking for anything to fill its stomach.

The main purpose of its eating is to excrete.

Every time after it finished eating, it would use the excrement as a written record of everything that had happened. From the birth of its own civilization to the demise of Huangwo, all kinds of events in the past were recorded by it.

It also writes about the future... including what will happen in the future.

Granular Organisms also discovered during observation that this disaster seemed to have just begun.

There have been some large-scale extinction events in the normal void, and this... can be said to be an extinction event in the solidified void.

This void is inseparable from stillness. This stillness is like time being suspended, but not everything will be still.

Many things, including physical matter and 'energy', can keep things moving, and the creatures here rely on these things... these things can make them move.

Therefore, when the number of moving things decreased on a large scale, extinction occurred.

Ever since the Devouring Star entered the huge hole, the granular creature found that its "field of vision" had become much wider.

Originally it could only see things within a range of tens of thousands of kilometers, but now... it can see quite far away, so far that it can't even tell how far away it is.

But even so, it couldn't see what was inside the cave.

So it turned its attention to the void in the distance.

Huangwo had previously sent out an expedition to search for creatures with "constructive abilities".

The direction they were heading to was a place they were familiar with. In fact, they had often run outside before and had encountered many creatures outside.

Of course they have never encountered any creature with "construction ability".

But they knew of an ecological zone with more organisms, and they thought they might find some species with structural capabilities there, after all, they had not conducted a comprehensive survey before.

Now, granular organisms have shifted their focus to this 'ecological zone'.

The reason why this place is an ecological zone is not because there were tumblers in the past, but because there are many "aggregates" in this area of ​​nearly one million kilometers.

These aggregates are like huge mixtures, looking a bit like mud. It is unknown why they gather in this area, and it seems that there is some kind of magical "gravity" attracting them here.

But they are not gathered at one point, but at many points.

As they gathered more and more, they became "spheres" tens of kilometers in size, distributed throughout this area.

This is Huangwo’s preliminary survey result of this area.

On these spheres, there are many living creatures active. Perhaps because the spheres contain nutrients, most of these creatures are relatively...normal.

Like most normal void creatures, their main goals are eating and reproduction, unlike the creatures in the place where the particle creatures first observed, which did not even eat at the beginning.

On a mud ball floating in the ecological zone, the granular creatures saw the wreckage of the crashed Wild Vortex Expedition.

Even after flying that far, their aircraft was affected by the stationary state and crashed.

However, those desolate vortices survived. In fact, these desolate vortices were also affected to some extent.

That is to say, even if most of their body functions are shut down, they can still survive.

This group of desolate vortices, who originally came to investigate, are now witnessing the end of this ecological zone.

The mud ball... was covered with corpses.

The reason for the death of these organisms is also the reason for their stillness.

Generally, there are many moving things in the body of a living organism, usually of different species. Some of these moving things have very strange characteristics, such as being active at certain times and being still at other times.

Many organisms have 'evolved' internal organs to exploit these properties.

For example, the digestive organs of some organisms are static most of the time and only become active during digestion.

Some creatures can create very powerful explosives within their bodies, but these explosives are static when they are being made and mixed, and when they are launched they can activate the moving objects inside to cause them to explode.

This is the case in most living organisms, where part of the body is active and part of the body is still, maintaining balance.

But if this balance is disturbed, their bodies will collapse.

This is the cause of death for most of the creatures here, but the Huangwo are quite special. They can still any part of their body except their thinking nerves at any time, so they don't die so easily.

They witnessed the end of this place, and of course heard about the end of their civilization.

The Huangwo people were in great shock, but... they were not in complete despair.

They believe that creatures with 'construction capabilities' are their hope.

If they find this kind of creature and learn how to construct it, it would be possible to reconstruct a civilization.

So they began to explore the mud ball, but they couldn't even find a few living creatures... let alone learn structural abilities from these creatures.

After exploring for a while, they discovered something abnormal about the corpses.

This is exactly the same as when the Devouring Star was born.
