Chapter 821: The Twin Beast
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This time, the mother slept even longer than the last time.
Meng Chao felt that it wanted to sleep until the end of time. It relied on its most instinctive cell self-healing ability and slowly began to repair itself from 1% to 100% of its enormous body.
it lacked enough roots to entangle and suck the mother lode of crystals.
It could only pa.s.sively absorb the feeble ripples of spiritual energy.
The entire restoration process was extremely slow. It might take tens of millions of years, or even longer.
But the mother did not care.
It was as patient as its appet.i.te was.
Since the stars would not be extinguished for billions of years, time meant little to it.
However, the long slumber and restoration was forcibly interrupted again not long after it started.
The mother woke up again.
It sensed intense earthquakes and spirit waves.
The s.p.a.ce in all directions shook, compressed, fused, and exploded like a landslide.
Countless rocks were affected by the high temperature and pressure and turned into overflowing magma, eroding the body that the mother had barely recovered.
The mother was threatened by death again.
It had no choice but to wake up in its extremely weak incomplete form in advance.
Using the energy and resources that it had originally intended to repair its body, it molded tendrils that were as thin as cow hair, spying on the movements around it.
The mother smelled the aura of the ancient civilization.
Some of the precise equipment left behind by the ancient civilization began to rumble again after being silent for hundreds of millions of years. It absorbed the surrounding spirit energy and resonated with the heaven and earth magnetic field, affecting a large area within a thousand li.
The first reaction of the mother was that the Ancients had returned to this planet.
It wanted to flee in panic.
However, before it had the time to evolve limbs and tentacles that could move, it could not even move half a millimeter.
However, the mother soon discovered that what had mysteriously appeared near its nest was not the genuine Ancients.
It was..
“Peach Blossom Town?”
In the mother’s memory picture, Meng Chao saw the iconic twin towers and the undulating skyline of the town.
He recognized it at a glance. It was one of the ten satellite towns of Dragon City, Peach Blossom Town that had transmigrated to the Hidden Mist Domain!
“It turns out that the mother was awakened by the s.p.a.ce storm and spirit energy ripples caused by Dragon City and Peach Blossom Town’s transmigration to another world.”
Meng Chao was enlightened. “According to the original plan, the mother wanted to sleep here comfortably for tens of millions of years or even hundreds of millions of years, fully recover from its injuries, and return to its peak state before it broke out of the ground.
“I didn’t expect that the arrival of the Earthlings would disrupt its overall plan.
“Although the Earthlings are not real Ancients and do not have technology as powerful as Supernatural Ent.i.ties, we are still closely related to the Ancients after all. Once we inherit the technology and strength left by the Ancients in Ruins No. 1, it is very likely that the civilization level will develop explosively.
“With the Earthlings’ uncomfortableness, after the civilization level explodes, they will certainly dig three feet into the ground and try to take all the resources in Monster Mountain Range for their own use.
“In that case, the Earthlings will certainly discover the existence of the mother’s body.
“If it is still sleeping soundly at that time, it will be like a fish on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered!”
It was then that Meng Chao realized that the civilization of mankind and the civilization of monsters were actually afraid of both sides.
Of course, the people of Earth were having a headache over the endless stream of ferocious monsters.
In fact, the mother was not willing to wake up in advance at such a “weak” time and engage in a b.l.o.o.d.y battle with the people of Earth.
However, Peach Blossom Town from Earth had already slapped the face of the mother.
It was impossible for it to turn a blind eye and wait for death.
Therefore, the mother mobilized all its resources and temporarily created an organ that was more independent. It secretly observed the development of Peach Blossom Town, studied the characteristics of human civilization, and prepared for the inevitable clash between civilizations. It prepared everything in terms of information, resources, energy, and military services.
The organ was the Tree of Wisdom.
The Tree of wisdom was the first Supernatural Ent.i.ty that the mother had created.
In a sense, it was also its clone.
It was a weakened version of the mother.
What happened next was almost the same as what the Tree of Wisdom had told Meng Chao.
It seemed that the Tree of Wisdom was not lying. There were two reasons for the destruction of Peach Blossom Town.
On one hand, it was naturally threatened by the monsters.
Perhaps because the mother was lurking underground, its extremely weak vitality magnetic field could still form a subtle resonance with the spirit energy of the nearby crystal veins, allowing the spirit energy to permeate the underground crevices and condense in the depths of the crevices, it formed a new crystal vein and grew slowly and steadily in the direction where it was located.
The crystal lode attracted a large number of monsters to live here. The diamond-shaped crystal was not able to clear out all the carbon-based creatures on this planet, so life would naturally find a way out.
Although the mother was asleep, its vitality magnetic field could still provide guidance and protection for carbon-based creatures, causing a large number of carbon-based creatures to gradually evolve into a weakened version of the ancient vicious beasts. It also made the Hidden Mist Domain become a paradise for monsters once again.
Peach Blossom Town had unfortunately transmigrated to this place, and its tragic ending had long since been decided.
Speaking of which, the lack of resources, the destruction of hope, and the collapse of order. In such an apocalyptic world, humans had a hundred ways to easily destroy themselves. However, they did not need the claws and teeth of monsters to do so.
The Tree of Wisdom was right. Facing the pressure of survival, Peach Blossom Town had indeed erupted into many rounds of internal strife.
In every internal strife, the contenders who claimed to represent justice and the ma.s.ses would quickly transform into even more unbearable evil rulers after defeating the evil rulers. They would then be overthrown and killed by the new dragon slayers who were destined to become evil dragons.
Such tragedies were repeated over and over again. One could not help but wonder if Peach Blossom Town had fallen into an endless cycle of h.e.l.l?
Meng Chao still saw Jin Qianxi in the mother’s memories.
To be more precise, it was the remains of Jin Qianxi.
She had indeed been swallowed by a huge tigerfish, and she had gone against the current and brought the origin of the Red Dragon River and Raging Tiger River. She had also been discovered by the clone of the mother, the Tree of Wisdom.
Although only half of her chest and a brain were left, the powerful spirit energy surrounding Jin Qianxi still made the mother feel like it had found a treasure.
It should be noted that the mother was still very weak at the moment. It had not even recovered 1% of its combat ability when it was at its peak.
If it could devour Jin Qianxi’s body, a.s.similate her soul, and absorb all of her spirit energy and life force, it would greatly accelerate the mother’s recovery, evolution, and awakening.
Therefore, after controlling billions of monsters, it could form an overwhelming beast horde with just a thought. It could even pile up the corpses of the monsters into a “Tower of Babel,” the mother that could pierce the sky, for the first time in its long life, it downsized into an individual carbon-based intelligent creature and issued a relatively equal “invitation.”
“Integrate into my life.”
At this time, the mother had already familiarized itself with the language and logic of the Earthlings by observing Peach Blossom Town.
It sent a message to Jin Qianxi’s brain. “I am a unique intelligent life form that was born on this planet.
“I possess intelligence and understand civilization.
“Therefore, I will not deprive you of your strength, mind, and will.
“On the contrary, after you fuse with me, I will give you new strength and body, allowing you to fulfill your own will.
“Whether it is to take revenge on those who have bullied, hurt, and tortured you, protect your own kind, build your civilization, or find out the secrets hidden in the depths of the ancient ruins and find out… where we came from as well as what kind of mission we are shouldering…
“You can do whatever you want, wherever you want.
“As long as you completely open your mind and heart to me and become a part of me… no, a new, more powerful and wise life form, a part of ‘us.’”
The mother showed Jin Qianxi the power it once had, including the fleeting shadows of the ancient war at its peak.
“Both of us are in a state of extreme weakness. We can not survive in this cruel world by ourselves. Monsters are not the greatest threat to humans, and humans are not the monsters’ only enemy, or even their greatest enemy. The terrifying rhombus-shaped crystal is still wandering somewhere, and the Ancients may return to this world at any time.”
The mother earnestly proposed to Jin Qianxi, “We should deeply merge together to create a more powerful carbon-based life form… the most perfect carbon-based life form. Only then can we surpa.s.s this world and see the brightest light of the billions of stars.”
Meng Chao felt that Jin Qianxi was very focused on watching every scene of the ancient war presented by the mother.
She was also very serious in listening to and thinking about the mother’s suggestion.
She was so serious that Meng Chao was afraid that she would nod her head at any time.
However, in the end, she still shook her head gently and rejected the mother’s “good intentions.”
“Why?”
Deep confusion was boiling in the mother’s consciousness.
Even if it had the ability to read and interfere with the brain waves of carbon-based intelligent life, it still did not understand the human civilization through studying Peach Blossom Town. “You’re going to die. Your civilization, the lone Dragon City civilization, is also very likely to be destroyed soon.
“Merging with me can stop all of this.”
“Why should I refuse?
“Because you’re a monster…”
When Meng Chao heard this, Jin Qianxi calmly replied, “A monster that only knows how to kill, devour, and destroy.”
The mother was stunned.
It could not help but laugh.
The ridiculing laughter turned into shining ripples.
The ripples turned into countless scenes of intrigue and killing among humans that had happened in Peach Blossom Town.
Those scenes, which were crueler than monsters devouring each other, stirred Jin Qianxi’s cerebral cortex. They evoked the painful memories of her being controlled by the Blood Alliance and being forced to explore as well as experiment.
“Are you not monsters?”
The mother asked, “Are you not monsters that only know how to kill, devour, and destroy?”
