The wind is howling, the snow is blowing, everything is depressed, and hunger is unbearable.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the ocean, the waves roared and rolled.

In the water, a small silver fish is coiled on a rock. Its body is a thin strip, however, what is really surprising is the way it anchors itself to the rock: it ties itself into a knot around the rock!

As for whether it is a slipknot or a dead knot...... It's obviously a slipknot, and I can't live anymore! Let's wait for the little fish to die.

Knot fish, that's what we call this funny little fish.

In the midst of the endless onslaught of the waves, the knotfish wakes up.

Fish don't have eyelids, so it's impossible to tell if they're asleep by the opening and closing of their eyelids, but right now, the little knot fish is definitely awake. It twisted slightly, making sure that it was still fixed in the place where it had fallen asleep yesterday, and then it was somewhat relieved.

In the event of a continuous super-tsunami, the ability to tie knots and hold oneself together is indeed quite useful. Thankfully, the little knot fish glanced above the water with its big silver-gray eyes, and the biological clock hidden in every cell told it that another day had passed.

Well, it's time to go out and find something to eat. Shaking his body, he expertly untied the knot, and the little knot fish swooped out.

To be honest, its fate is really not very good, because it is living in ...... at this time Spark Age.

Thick clouds of dust drift in the gray sky, and although the creatures living in the sea are not in danger of suffocating from the dust, they still inevitably face a food crisis caused by the mass death of plankton.

The bottom of the food pyramid in the ecosystem...... in the collapse.

The ocean roared, and the wind and waves did not seem to have subsided in the slightest because of the disaster. The tiny knot fish swam in waves big enough to overturn a giant tanker, struggling to find any food that might be there.

It's been getting harder and harder lately. Xiao Knot Fish sighed, this nasty ghost weather, even if there is food, it is easy to drown in the endless waves.

Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck......

The small knot fish stretched out its forked tongue while breaking the thoughts, and located the possible food through the difference in the odor concentration on the two tongue forks.

…… There was no smell of food nearby.

Should it be expected? The little knot shook his head in disappointment, there had been a lot less food since that unknown tremor......

After swimming on the surface of the sea for a long time, the little knotfish's big round eyes kept trying to find any possible food, but to no avail, and not only that, but not even much living creature was seen.

A sparse school of fish has passed, and these fish are much larger than the small knots, but fortunately they are vegetarians.

But...... The little knot fish turned around and looked at the schools of fish, remembering that they used to be like dark clouds surging in large patches, but now they are so sparse?

While thinking about it, a few more fish suddenly couldn't keep up with the team, and they floated to the surface of the water weakly and turned their bellies, looking at the gray sky with empty eyes, as if expressing infinite unwillingness.

It's dead...... The little knot fish shook his head, not paying attention to this, he had seen many more corpses than living creatures recently, but unfortunately the knot fish only had plants and some tiny creatures on his diet, otherwise he would have eaten and drunk as well as the scavengers.

The hunger in his stomach reminds Xiao Knot Fish that he can't waste any more time here, and if he doesn't find food, he will join the army of floating corpses!

Despite starving and barely having any strength, the little knot fish swam on the surface of the sea driven by his survival instinct, trying to find a chance of survival.

Thundered...... Thundered......

A dull sound exploded above the water, and the spirit of the little knot fish suddenly slammed, this is ...... Thunder?

Historically, it has been said that thunder is followed by rain, and rain can attract a lot of tiny plankton...... It's food!

At the thought of this, the little knot fish, which had not eaten for several days, suddenly became excited, and it braved the danger of a storm to stay on the surface of the sea, and poked its head out of the water, waiting for the rain to bring life.

The sky was cloudy, and the dark clouds shimmered with white flashes before they began to pour downward......

No, it's not rain! The little knot fish looked in shock at what was falling from the sky, those white ...... What is it?

The wind is howling and snowflakes are falling from the sky, which may not be surprising, but here it is...... O equator!

After Joan's arrival, thick clouds covered the sky of the entire planet, and the warm sunlight from the sun was reflected into space, and now the star is getting colder and colder, and even the equatorial region is drifting goose feather snow.

Never seen anything like it!

The little knot fish floats on the surface of the water, glaring at the sky with indignation, what about the rain? Where did the rain go? What are these strange things for nothing?

Its round eyes widened as it watched as these strange pieces of strange things slowly fell from the sky and into the sea...... It's gone? How could it be gone?

As soon as he flicked his tail and rushed out, the little knot fish lingered for a long time in the place where the snowflakes fell into the ocean, strangely, obviously fell into the sea, why did it disappear?

The fruitless little knot fish looked at the white things falling in the sky again, these white things looked like organic detritus in the ocean, can they eat them too?

The little knotfish with a small brain full of food cravings couldn't hold it back, so it slowly dived into the water, then aimed upwards, slapped its tail sharply, and quickly rushed to the surface, using this force to break through the surface of the sea......

Here it is!

The little knot fish twisted in the air, opened its mouth wide and swallowed a snowflake, and fell into the water with a thud.

…… Well, it's so bad!

Almost reflexively, he spit out a small ball of liquid in his mouth, and the little knot fish rolled in discomfort, and the white thing ...... Super unpalatable! Although the outside doesn't smell like water, how can there be something disgusting inside that can't be named at all!

It's sour, it's spicy, and I can't figure out what it tastes like!

The little knot fish, who had finally recovered his strength, looked around again, and was surprised to find that as those white things washed into the ocean and disappeared, the surrounding sea water also began to have that strange smell, which was very pungent!

That's not fragrant food at all! The little knot fish flicked its tail angrily, and did not want to stay here any longer, and hurriedly rushed into the depths of the sea.

On the sea, the blizzard continues. Ice crystals condense in a thick cloud of dust in the sky, mixed with a series of materials lifted from the land, including dust and sulfides from volcanoes.

The highly toxic substances floating in the sky are now returning to the ground and the sea with the snowfall, and a thick layer of highly toxic substances is sprinkled on the surface of the sea, exuding a pungent smell of sulfide......

The first spark of the Spark Age is just the beginning.

……

The author of all this is quietly watching from space.

"The first spark has completely descended, then, it's time to enter the real Spark Age." Xinglan gently set the fate of the planet in front of her, "Star engine, orbit change operation!" ”

In space, the light of the star engine lit up above the other two asteroids at the same time, and they slowly turned their huge bodies.

They're not the same as Joan.

If Joan is just an ordinary asteroid, then these two are real giants.

The asteroid "Co-work" has a diameter of 67 kilometers.

Asteroid "Zhurong" with a diameter of 72 km.

Joan has a diameter of only 8 km...... These two asteroids are the superfluous asteroids used to create planets back then, and they are completely different from Joan's mass!

Of course, it was impossible for Xinglan to directly throw these two giants on Lan Xing as before...... If you do that, you guess you'll have to start all over again.

Therefore, these two asteroids have another use, which is where they get their names.

Gonggong and Zhurong changed their original orbit around the sun and began to move towards the interior of the star system, gradually approaching the planet that had changed from beautiful azure to dead gray with the simultaneous propulsion of multiple star engines.

"The real chapter of the Spark Age is about to begin......"

……

Algae, algae, algae, algae......

The little knot fish swam in the ocean, trying to find some aquatic plants to fill their stomachs.

It used to be everywhere, but why can't you find it now?

It's not far from the sea, but because there is barely sunlight visible from above, the bottom of the sea is completely shrouded in darkness.

Sticking out the forked tongue again and sensing it in the seawater, the little knot fish shook his head, no, there was still no smell of food...... Look a little further away.

But where to go? There's got to be a goal.

After thinking for a while with his little brain, the little knot fish decided to take a look at a nearby seagrass meadow, which was green all year round and should be able to find food.

So, let's go.

……

When it comes to algae, many people know about it, but in comparison, seagrass is much less famous.

In fact, as you can hear from the name, unlike the strange-shaped strings of algae, the shape of seagrass is basically the same as that of grass on land, except that it grows in water.

The green grassland of that year...... How has it changed?

After rounding a few reefs, the small knot fish arrived at what was once the marine grassland, but ...... It's no longer as prosperous as it once was.

The boundless green is gone, the yellow blades of grass are floating in the sea, and although there is no longer a taste, there is still a little food.

The little knotfish, who had been hungry for a few days, almost pounced with joy at the few leaves of withered yellow grass that they had disdained to eat before, and now was not the time to pick young shoots to eat.

Nimbly tearing off a few blades of grass and swallowing them, the little knot fish finally felt some strength, and it looked up to see the sound of huge waves from the sea.

Sure enough, it's better to stay here, it's safe and there is food.

The little knot fish cowered and knotted himself on a rock near the seagrass meadow to test the strength of the undercurrent...... Well, no problem.

It's not easy to live, and you still need ...... Spare your strength to reproduce. While looking forward to the future, the little knot fish fell asleep tiredly.

Even in the Spark Age, the inheritance of life cannot be interrupted.
