"That world ... has so many resources ... has so much light ... there must be no war ..."
In the end, they all perished.
Whether it is a two-limb creature, a floating creature, or most chasing creatures.
Their populations dissipated one by one, and they failed to pursue what they were after.
Only the creature "Snowlight" survived.
Xueguang called this event the "fireworks extinction". Although it is also due to war, the main reason for the extinction of all living things is caused by "torches".
When chasing creatures in war, their troops must of course also be in the light of anti-solidification ... so this requires some soldiers to wear torches.
Generally speaking, torches are very precious resources, and both sides of the war will avoid attacking torches, fortunately to obtain them after the war.
Although it has not been explicitly stated, most races follow this rule and try not to attack the other party wearing torches.
Because torches are very difficult to reproduce, torches can be said to destroy one less, and it is difficult to add them back. Therefore, although the soldiers wearing torches can quickly destroy the enemy, they rarely use this method.
However, the scale of this war is even more tragic than previous wars, and the races involved in the war no longer follow the rules.
Many species have set precedents ... began to directly attack each other's torch soldiers in order to achieve the purpose of quickly destroying their opponents.
In this war, the torches they destroyed were unprecedented in history, so it also led to a situation ...
A large number of torches and corpses of chasing creatures fell on the battlefield, and these torches did not die completely.
Their wreckage began to emit large amounts of ... fine particles.
These particles can float in the solidified environment and be sensed by the torches still alive.
When the live torches are sensed, their bodies will trigger a self-protection mechanism-ending the anti-coagulation field and entering a sleep state.
This is actually a protection mechanism inherent in torches. When a large number of companions die, they will immediately stop all activities and go to sleep.
This is usually used to combat things like 'natural disasters'.
Because there are too many torches that die, the particles they emit almost make all the torches alive feel.
And when all the torches are dormant, all the chasing creatures ... also fall into freezing, and these species ... are destroyed.
Except Xueguang.
Snowlight is a special creature ... Snowlight itself is a species that cannot be parasitized by torches.
The main reason is that they have no torches suitable for parasitic parts. Xueguang has always maintained its own population by capturing 'torch slaves'. They often rob and capture other species as torch slaves.
If there are no slaves, then they will perish.
Of course, Xueguang noticed that they could not depend on slaves very early, so they began to find ways to let the torch parasitize themselves.
They have tried to dig down their flesh to give torches as nutrients, dig wounds on their bodies to parasitize torches and so on.
These effects are not very good, especially those that have been dug out of the body, and if they are parasitized by the torch, they will soon die.
But ... there was a Xueguang success.
This Xueguang dug a hole in his head and let the torch parasitize on it.
This snowlight did not die as quickly as other parasitic snowlights, but it survived.
And it also indicated to its surrounding companions that it could perceive the torches ... emotions and hear the words of the torches.
This shocked the Xueguang, and many of them followed their example by digging holes in their heads to make the torch parasitic.
Then they were all dead.
Some of them died before they even dug a hole.
Later, after investigating, Xueguang discovered that the only successfully parasitized individual was a little special.
Its internal organs are a bit strange, which makes it unable to eat well and moves relatively slowly.
Simply put, it is a deformed individual.
But this deformity has the ability to make a hole in the head without dying.
As for how it sensed the emotion of the torch, Xueguang did not study it.
But no matter how many they are, they later specifically searched for such deformed individuals ... The odds of birth of deformed individuals are very low, and they are not inherited. This is a purely random birth phenomenon. The influence of the environment, or other things, in short, Xueguang is also unclear.
They will detect whether each newly born snowlight is suitable for torch parasitism, if so, cultivate it fully, and then open a hole in its head.
In this way, Xueguang no longer needs other species to help them wear torches.
These deformed individuals are very ... strong.
Compared with other species, they can achieve symbiosis with torches instead of parasitic relationships, torches will not continue to absorb their nutrients to death.
Although they consume more energy, that is, to eat more food, a snow light can live with torches to the end of life, which is a phenomenon that is difficult to see in other species.
This seems to be mainly due to the ability of these deformed snow lights to communicate with torches.
And in the later mass extinction events, they also survived through this ability.
It is said that the deformed snow light communicates with their torches, so that these torches will not go to sleep.
So their population can survive ...
But after the mass extinction, they could not sustain it.
This is mainly because they cannot find food.
Although they have explored the territory of other races, they found that food and the like are all gone.
All that remains are inedible objects, like buildings or something.
At the same time, they have not seen other creatures.
When chasing creatures enter into solidification, their body shape maintains its original form.
To enter the anti-coagulation environment again, they will be broken instantly.
That is to say, after the mass extinction, Xueguang explored everywhere with torches ... It should be possible to see the whole broken scene of the creature everywhere.
But Xueguang didn't see the broken scenes of other creatures while exploring, nor saw the debris, they were all missing.
Xueguang has no energy to study why.
Finally, Xueguang wandered on the snowfield, and the deformed individuals who needed a lot of food fell down first, and their populations slowly died out one by one.
Finally until the arrival of Phoenix.
The snow of hope felt gathered around the phoenix, although the phoenix did not care much about them ... they were also full of excitement.
