Chapter 348 The Way Out for Life

Now...there is no need to do anything.

Just have to watch how the war develops.

The granular creatures had never seen such a 'gentle' war.

Although this war is aimed at the extinction of species, no living creature is fighting in the process. All it does is... sleep.

Stasis affects a large number of organisms. As long as an organism has the function of static and active cycles in its body, it cannot avoid the fate of extinction.

As for those perpetual motion creatures, although they will not be still, they will fall asleep.

Sleep spreads in the void like a disease, and creatures called perpetual motion creatures...are slowly becoming infected with this disease.

What is special is that the nervous structure of many organisms does not have the function of sleep, but they can also become sluggish, slow, and slowly stop being active.

And then...he died.

The original particle creature had no good way to deal with this. It could only watch these creatures it had "cultivated" fall into sleep one after another.

Because it cannot influence every action of these creatures in detail, nor can it transform their spirits.

However, the granular organisms discovered that... life has its own way out.

It noticed that some creatures began to exhibit special behaviors. When the creatures around them fell into a large-scale sleep, they would attack those sleeping creatures.

Because it was easy to attack at this time, they easily obtained a large amount of resources and began to reproduce.

Of course, these attackers will also fall asleep themselves, but they will also try to reproduce before the sleep affects their actions.

Their offspring also take some time to fall asleep.

Soon, similar situations appeared in many places observed by the granular creatures, and many creatures were "trying every possible means" to fight against the disaster brought by stillness.

Their approach is simple: those creatures that reproduce slowly and are more likely to fall into dormancy will be destroyed.

And those organisms that reproduce quickly can take the opportunity to multiply and grow even stronger.

After all, each creature has a different time to fall asleep, and a group of creatures falling asleep is actually providing food to the creatures that have not yet fallen asleep.

Although this disaster reduced the diversity of biological species a lot, they still continued to exist, and by reproducing rapidly, they even avoided the effects of dormancy.

In the end, the granular organisms even discovered some organisms with very special structures.

These creatures do not need to reproduce quickly before falling asleep, and they do not even fall asleep. When their bodies become sluggish, they will activate some functions to stimulate themselves and keep themselves energetic.

In short, quite a lot of interesting species have 'evolved' during this period.

And their evolutionary methods are similar to those of cellular organisms.

So, after a long time, everything still has not come to a standstill, and there are still many things moving around.

The spreading stillness of the source of stillness was also constantly "mutating", its dormant effect was slowly accelerating, and it could even slowly still some things that were originally thought to be ever-active.

Of course, these creatures always have a way to avoid this. When the speed of sleeping speeds up, they will give birth to creatures that can reproduce faster or can stay active better.

When some organisms die as a result, other organisms quickly divide up their resources to expand their own species.

Life never stops, which makes the granular creatures very... happy.

Originally, no creatures could approach the Source of Stillness, but now some creatures have multiplied to its location and are there to resist the continued expansion of Sleep.

In this long war, stillness could not gain any advantage, and in the end it was unable to stop all living things.

Perhaps unable to bear it any longer, the Source of Stillness finally... took a direct approach.

At some point the particle creatures suddenly noticed that the fortresses around the static core began to move again.

The hulls inside were originally completely motionless, but now they began to move again and began to repair the weapons that had been out of service for a long time.

Then, an army was dispatched.

They fully adjusted the ruined fortress they had previously used for combat and began attacking all nearby creatures.

Because although these creatures have strong reproductive capabilities, they have not developed any civilization.

The creatures that multiplied around the Source of Stillness were quickly destroyed by the massive fortress, which used artillery fire to shatter every floating object with life on it and drove off into the void.

The granular creatures believed that the Source of Stillness might have originally wanted everything to be still, including those shells, so it did not intend to use those shells to fight directly.

But now, it still plans to directly destroy all living things.

There are currently twenty fortresses, some newly built and some left over from the past. They set out in different directions and destroy all creatures along the way.

At the same time, there are a large number of husks around the Source of Stillness constantly building new fortresses.

The granular creatures knew that it might be difficult for them to destroy them in this way alone, but the key was that the Source of Stillness seemed to know the location of all creatures.

So sooner or later they will find all the living things and kill them all one by one.

Granular Organisms must find a way to resolve this crisis.

Finally, it thought of Huangwo.

The Wild Vortex had long since perished, but their creations had not.

Before its demise, Huangwo built a large number of automated facilities, which were used to complete many tasks.

Of course, it also includes some intelligent machines.

These things are made of things that are always in motion, and they keep moving because they can maintain themselves.

The granular creatures found the cities that once existed in Huangwo. These cities were still floating in that location, but most of the cities had completely stopped operating.

But facilities maintained by intelligent machinery remain operational.

The granular creatures found these intelligent machines.

These intelligent machines themselves are actually the management systems of some factories, and they tirelessly maintain the operation of their own factories.

Most of them are food factories, and some are factories that produce remote control machines for maintenance.

Even though they no longer have the raw materials to make food, they still keep their factories active.

At first the particle creature didn't pay any attention to them, but it found that these management systems were smarter than it thought.

After all, the city of Huangwo has been floating in the air, so nothing happens. Occasionally, some creatures will come into the city.

They are also attracted to active factories, whose management systems will come up with various ways to keep the factory running.

Including creating various weapons to kill invading creatures.

Granular creatures... Now let's see if we can get these factories to create weapons to destroy the static core.

It found that this seemed to work.

The factory's system has the ability to think.
