Chapter 360 Collection Journey
One civilized world after another fell apart under its tearing, and those countless fragments became part of it, and its journey continued.
Those weak civilized worlds are always in despair when they encounter it. They have no ability to resist. They can only watch the world they live in... no matter if it is a tumbler or something else, being quickly shattered.
Although it has 'swallowed' many worlds, the size of the 'Collector' does not continue to increase. It has always maintained a certain size, and the number of civilizations on it has not increased.
But most civilizations...are constantly changing.
There have been quite a few kinds of civilizations on the Collector, including high-temperature creatures active on stars and creatures traveling through space, but no matter what kind of creatures they are, they cannot escape.
The 'Collector' has prepared a very suitable environment for them, so even if two civilization areas are close together, the environment may be very different.
The granular creatures have been watching the journey of this tube in the void, watching the development and demise of these civilizations.
At the same time, it also recognizes the normal void through the Collector's 'perspective'.
The particle creatures felt that this void was very similar to their own void before it was "polluted" by stillness.
Although there are some differences in the rules, there are more similarities, and many things in the normal void make it feel nostalgic.
But it also found something unusual.
There are many powerful creatures in this void that it has never seen before.
This makes the granular creatures think that the normal void may be an older void, at least the origin of life is earlier.
The Collector also has a strong interest in these powerful creatures, and prefers to collect such creatures compared to ordinary civilizations.
However, these creatures are also difficult for collectors to collect.
Many times collectors try to collect something specific.
At one point, the Collector encountered a rather large civilization.
It occupies a large space, with an overall size that is about a dozen times that of the Ersh galaxies, and space channels have been established between them for transportation.
The Collector destroyed every territory of this civilization bit by bit, and also destroyed these space channels, which slowly made this civilization despair and perish.
Finally, on top of the ruins, collectors collected the last few individuals of this civilization as...memorials.
Another time, the Collector discovered some stars that were called 'doomsday stars'.
Of course, this name was actually given by Lin. In short, the granular creatures are a phenomenon that collectors encounter.
Some stars will continue to move towards a nearby "target", usually another galaxy, and thus destroy the entire galaxy.
The collector investigated the phenomenon and discovered that it was caused by a living organism.
That is...the miraculous creature that Lin knows.
This phenomenon of star movement is a "miracle" created by miracle creatures. Through some special methods, a group of stars can leave their orbits at a certain time and collide with other things.
The Collector stopped this phenomenon by adjusting the orbits of each star, returning them to their original state, and at the same time found the culprit behind all this.
In fact, the particle creatures' investigation process on the collector is difficult to understand... because the pipeline uses a lot of space-related abilities, and the particle creatures have very little knowledge about this.
However, it still roughly observed the whole process.
It also discovered that pipelines not only bring despair to creatures, but also hope.
Sometimes, some curious creatures approach the pipes.
They didn't see the pipes as living things or a threat, just as one of the natural phenomena of the void.
At this time, the pipes usually do not attack these curious creatures, and can even allow them to land on their surface or interior and communicate with the civilizations inside.
Of course, alien creatures have no way of directly contacting the civilization inside, but at least they can... see each other.
The granular creatures felt at the time that the Collector's journey would continue, bringing various impacts to the void.
It didn't expect that such a powerful creature would suddenly end its journey at some point.
The cause is that some civilizations have undergone...mutations.
The granular creatures had previously observed that there was a civilization that thought it was being kept in captivity, so it stopped developing... They allowed themselves to be content with the status quo to avoid the fate of extinction.
But this civilization has been studying ways to escape from the pipeline. The longer they live, the more they want to escape by various methods.
They have been trying various efforts to escape, and the general effort is to try to dig through the "walls" that isolate themselves.
Each civilization area is separated by similar walls, some of which are simply transparent walls, while others are very strange.
Some are like mountain walls, some are like dark and impassable areas, and some are like various void phenomena... such as huge whirlpools or storms, "walls" of extreme gravity, etc.
And the wall of this civilization is just a simple transparent wall.
At some point, they suddenly discovered 'cracks' on the wall.
This rift allowed them to pass through the wall of separation between civilizations for the first time and come to... a cave.
Because they found that the gap in the wall could only lead to a hole in the ground.
However, this hole is very large, and these creatures can move down it and reach another special area.
That is the area where...miraculous creatures are held.
Previously, the Collector found the miracle creature after solving the 'Doomsday Star' incident.
This miraculous creature was so huge that the collector cut off a small part of it and kept it in one place.
The place where this group of creatures came to was where the miracle creatures were.
This small part of the miraculous creature is not dead, it can grow some structural organs again.
But most importantly, it can dig holes between the walls of civilization.
This kind of digging does not just penetrate physically, but in all aspects as well.
Including thinking.
After this group of civilized creatures discovered the miracle creatures, the miracle creatures did not communicate with them at all, so in the end these creatures could only explore the cave and then return.
Because the miracle creature looked so... strange, they didn't even notice it. They thought it was just a hole in the ground with nothing special in it.
But after returning, they suddenly 'awakened' some special hobbies.
At the same time, similar habits gradually emerged in other surrounding civilizations.
