4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
Question 2220
This is a dark place.
Most of the creatures who come here can only face death, they will wander to the end of life here, crash down to the ground and be broken down by the 'slug' here.
Although they are called pinnacles after this, they are meaningless to dead creatures.
However, sometimes some special creatures can become the pinnacle species without the step of death.
Now, even if they are such special creatures ... burst worms, blood mist, and scorpions, at this time, they are somewhere.
This place also has the big bunker I have seen before. The green fluorescence in the bunker shows the appearance of three creatures, but this time is slightly different from the previous one. It's just reflection.
Instead, the green fluorescent sand forms exactly the same shape as the three creatures-that is, two insects and a head, and the mechanical water strider is not composed of them.
The three things gathered by the sand will not move, at least they haven't moved, and they can't speak, but they will send ... information similar to brain waves.
Standing in the center of the bunker, the group of sand grains that make up the howling worm is sending a message of this meaning to the three creatures at the edge of the bunker: "You have been recognized, so you have already belonged to the pinnacle species and do not have to experience The process of death and reconstruction. "
"Why did we get recognition?" The Burrower asked voice directly to the sand: "What happened?"
"Now, we are ready to enter the peak species delivery. Please do not do any extra actions during the process, stop all behaviors including breathing, and minimize the chance of abnormal conditions."
The grain of sand did not answer the burrowing bug, but said there by himself: "Now start the countdown, 100% ... 99% ... 1% ... start."
"Wait ..." This countdown is only about three seconds in total, so the three creatures haven't had time to do anything, they feel a strong light surrounding them.
This radiance was shining out of the bunker, and it bursted the bursting insects, blood mist and scorpions, and the ships behind them with the light.
"They sent us directly to ..."
When the horizons of the three creatures became wider again, they saw a completely different view from before. This is a bright and wide place.
The crystalline earth covers the surface, countless stars are shining in the sky, and there are huge buildings of different shapes everywhere.
Between these buildings, various creatures of different shapes are also walking. Because of the sudden appearance, these creatures all looked at this side.
"Here ... are we back in the crystalline world?" Blood Mist looked at the surrounding creatures and said softly to the Burrower: "And why are we considered the pinnacle species at once?"
"I don't know," said the Howler. "It's very strange here. I'm not sure where it is because it's indoor."
"... Indoor?" Blood Mist heard the words and looked up to the sky, only to find that there are some in the starry sky ... false, just images, not real starry sky.
The surrounding creatures seem not to be interested in them, they just disperse after watching for a while.
In addition to a creature, this creature quickly ran to the blood mist and the burrowing insect. It was covered with crystals, and looked like a starfish standing and walking, only about one meter tall.
"Welcome to you here." This creature uses standard ... Emerald Dragon language to the Blood Mist and Burrower: "You have been recognized as the pinnacle species, and you can live a life that has nothing to do with hardships since then."
"Are you really ..." Blood Mist wanted to ask if it was the beginning, but it didn't say it.
"You can call me the 'Guide', you bring this first." Then, the starfish extruded a crystalline starfish exactly like itself from the antennae of the head, but only three centimeters in size.
"This is a translation device that records the communication methods of all species here. If you need to communicate with other species, use this thing."
"Where is this?" The Howler picked it up and observed it carefully, then asked the crystal starfish: "And ... who are you?"
"This is where 'Abandoned World' was chosen as the place to live as the pinnacle species." Crystal Starfish said: "Every species that comes here will be arranged to suit their aesthetics, personality, and understand their language ' "Guide", to explain various things to the creatures who are here for the first time, I am your guide. "
"Then can you explain why we are the pinnacle species?" Blood Mist asked.
"The reason and reason for being selected as the pinnacle species is to be able to enter the record point of the abandoned world." Crystal Starfish said: "It is through that door that you have the initial qualifications, and then according to other qualifications to decide whether to die or Come alive. "
"You see there are many creatures here, they are all alive." The crystalline starfish pointed to the various creatures around it with one of his tentacles. These creatures have very diverse forms, some of which look like cellular flesh, some It seems to be made of rock, some of them are metal machinery, and of course there are crystalline ones, but only a few.
"In other words, have they all lived here since they came here?" Said Burrower.
"Yes, you can ask me all kinds of requirements, and here will meet the requirements of any creature who comes here." Crystal Starfish said: "No need to worry about food and various needs here, they ..."
The crystal starfish hadn't finished speaking, and suddenly there was a commotion around him. I saw that all the creatures started to run quickly in one direction.
"Where are they going?" Blood Mist asked: "It seems all in a hurry ..."
Crystal Starfish said: "I'm going to pick the next development race, I can show you over."
"Then check it out." The poppers and blood mist followed the crystalline starfish and the surrounding species in one direction. After passing between many buildings, they came to a large ... in front of the picture.
This huge picture stood high in the sky, all the creatures gathered under the picture, and they all looked at the content on the picture.
"What the hell is this?" Blood Mist discovered that the pictures were all a strange color change, and they couldn't understand it at all.
"You have to put the translator I just gave it on your head." Crystal Starfish said: "Because the creatures have different relationships, they will not play a picture that can be understood by a specific creature. It needs to be translated to understand."
"Do you want to put it on?" Blood Mist glanced at the Explosive Whistler. It found that the Explosive Whistle had been brought, and then the Blood Mist sent the "translator" into the cockpit of the mechanical water strider, and placed himself On the head.
"Ga ... this is ..."
At the moment of putting it up, Blood Mist discovered that the picture had become what it understood, and there were several creatures with different appearances on the picture.
Two of them are known by blood mist, one is the division of crystalline species, and the other is a giant horse-land creature.
Both of these should have been destroyed by the Inca swarm, so they both showed a skull under them.
There are also two species of blood fog that have not been seen before, and there is also a skull underneath, indicating that they also seem to be extinct.
There is only one species in the picture, and its body shape is particularly large, accounting for almost half of the picture on the right. Blood Mist noticed that this creature looks like an ancient squid, but it is composed of crystals.
And there is no skull underneath this crystal squid, as if to say it is fine.
"Their developmental life has failed." Crystal Starfish said: "The four creatures on the left have already perished."
"What is the failure to develop life?" Blood Mist questioned: "They are ..."
"The pictures shown are all the pinnacle species that live here." Crystal Starfish said: "In recent times, they have been selected and become developers."
"The creatures living here must maintain a certain number and cannot multiply." Crystal Starfish said: "But if chosen to become a developer, they will be qualified to develop and go to the watch world to establish their own population and Community, develop your own race numbers and ... technology or anything, and come back here after a while. "
"Developed biological populations will get an area suitable for the size of their communities here when they come back, and let them build their cities to live there. Although they cannot continue to develop, there are more opportunities to be selected as developers again And go to the world to continue to develop and strengthen their own civilization. "Crystal Starfish said.
"Is this chosen ..." Blood Mist said in amazement: "Is the living creature that represents the world chosen for the world's peak species?"
"Wildlife is not, civilized creature is." Crystal Starfish said: "Every period of time will make a choice ... Of course, you can live without being involved in the choice, so that although carefree, it can not proliferate or develop. There are many creatures who choose to stay here, but there are also many creatures who are eager to develop a civilization of the population to compete for the right to be chosen. "
"On the screen, it is the race that was recently selected to develop in the past, but the four on the left are in the process of development ... but they are extinct." Crystal Starfish said: "Occasionally, this kind of thing happens because The development of the world is not easy. "
"But this ... crystal squid." Crystal starfish pointed to the crystal squid that occupies half of the picture on the right. "They are races that have been selected many times to develop in the watch world. Number of people, they wo n’t be so easily ... "
'Beep--!'
A skull popped under the crystal squid.
