Chapter 347 Time

Stillness wants to end everything in this void, while activity allows this void to continue.

Soon, a new war began.

This is a war between stillness and movement.

Countless "perpetual motion creatures" are spreading and multiplying. These creatures are not much different from normal void creatures. Their bodies are always active and have almost no parts related to stillness.

Under the guidance of the granular creatures, these creatures developed and evolved rapidly, and after a period of time, some of them were able to travel in the void.

These organisms 'evolve' very quickly, at least much faster than cellular organisms, and their reproduction methods also have various characteristics. The only thing they have in common is that their entire body is active.

At the same time, the static changes in the void were also rapidly intensifying.

Huangwo has been traveling for hundreds of Ershi years.

During this period, their civilization once again experienced the process of development-peak-decline. The original desolate vortex continued to advance into the depths of the void, getting farther and farther away from the source of stillness.

The resources discovered along the way also allowed them to grow stronger, and they also spread large numbers of perpetual creatures everywhere.

But stillness followed them like a nightmare.

Although the facilities used by the Wild Vortex are all permanently active, the Wild Vortex itself is not.

Almost all parts of the body of the Huangwo, even the neural structure, can fall into a state of stillness, because their nerves are scattered and not concentrated. As long as they find that any part of the body has fallen into a state of stillness for a long time, they can release it by swallowing a large amount of active things.

But if too many organs in the body were to become static at once, they would also become immobile.

At its peak, Huangwo had developed into hundreds of cities. Although its technology level was much more powerful than before, it knew very little about its own body.

At a certain period of time, individuals that were frozen appeared in the wasteland.

These individuals are not completely immobile, but most of their internal organs have shut down.

They are completely unable to cure this condition, and as more and more such individuals appear, the city of Huangwo begins to collapse.

This time it was not because the facilities stopped functioning, but because the residents inside stopped their activities.

Some of the Wild Vortexes believed that the state of dormancy was contagious, so they tried to isolate and drive away their kind, and many wars broke out between the Wild Vortex cities.

As the number of wild vortices decreased, they began to continuously study automation technology, but they slowly discovered that no matter who they were, they could not avoid stillness.

In the end, Huangwo was destroyed.

Of the former Huangwo civilization, only a bunch of cities floating in the void remain. The automated facilities in these cities are still running continuously, while their residents stand motionless around the facilities like sculptures.

The end of a civilization did not cause much concern to the granular creatures, because the wasteland vortexes had already scattered enough perpetual motion creatures, and these wasteland vortices had no value.

At that time, the granular creatures had already regarded themselves as gods.

It feels that it is the only hope to guide the void from stasis, and of course it is doing just that.

It constantly guides the evolution of various perpetual motion organisms.

It not only tries to create highly intelligent civilized creatures, but also tries to create a variety of rich creatures.

This enables them to continuously spread in the void.

This void has much more living things than the normal void.

Tumblers in normal void are usually separated by extremely long distances, and even within a galaxy, there is very little space between tumblers.

In this void, the floating stones are closer together, and there are more creatures that can travel in the void.

From the beginning, they were not like most normal void creatures that could only adapt to specific environments, so they could reproduce and spread quickly.

And stillness is also 'multiplying'.

The core of the Source of Stillness has been continuously developing during the period of escaping from the Wild Vortex.

The core of the Source of Stillness stopped at a certain location outside the cave entrance and never moved again. As for the ruins of the fortress, they also floated around.

Then, they became completely motionless.

For a long time, the granular creature has been paying attention to them, and it noticed something very strange: there are always various floating objects drifting towards this place.

Then they gather around the stationary core and stop moving.

Gradually, more and more floating objects appeared around the static core, but no matter how many floating objects there were, there was no living life on them.

Or in other words, there are no living creatures that can move.

What is more amazing is that floating objects inhabited by perpetual motion have never drifted there.

So, after so much time had passed, the particle creatures decided to launch an attack on the Source of Stillness.

It works by influencing some creatures, making them want to move towards the source of stillness, and making them think that there may be a lot of resources there.

The first creatures to be affected by the granular creatures were a group of creatures floating in the void.

After these creatures' minds were influenced by the granular creatures, they headed towards the location of the source of stillness... and soon reached their destination.

After this group of creatures discovered this valuable resource area where no other creatures existed, they immediately landed here and began to develop.

They quickly gather resources among the floating objects around the Source of Stillness and reproduce rapidly, which affects the Source of Stillness.

Because the excrement and other things they produce are also moving things, it can be said that they are turning the stillness here into movement.

And the source of stillness also became moving.

Originally, the granular creature thought that it might let the body or something kill these creatures directly, but the Source of Stillness did not do so.

These creatures that were originally expanding wildly suddenly became lazy... and sluggish.

Granular organisms found themselves becoming listless, lethargic and uninterested in eating.

This seems to be the effect of the source of stillness.

Gradually, this group of creatures became less and less active, and finally... they all fell into a deep sleep.

This is almost the same as being still, even though there is still activity inside their bodies.

However, the granular creatures soon attracted another group of creatures, and the fate of this group of creatures... was similar.

They soon became unwilling to do anything and slowly died in their sleep.

But this time, the granular creature carefully observed the mental state of this group of creatures, and it felt that it could disrupt this sleep.

The third time, the granular creature attracted a creature that had no concept of sleep.

But it soon discovered that these creatures began to become slow... and less active.

And this phenomenon doesn't just occur around the source of stillness, it also spreads into the surrounding void.
