Chapter 42: The Spirit of the Ancestors
Already...... It's been a long time, and the creatures that Lynn is familiar with have changed many generations.
The Emerald Dragon is like this, each generation of the king inherits the previous generation, and the other dragons have no chance to become the king, while the Skeleton Dragon follows the ancient method, allowing the members to test in the dream realm, compete in reality, and the one who stands out can become the leader.
Each king has a different personality, and they may lead to the decline of the tribe or make it more prosperous, but no matter what, they will always be replaced......
And the original king of the emerald dragons, the king who created their life form, Susumi, is still watching them today.
Although it lives in a dream, it can still see its city clearly...... In other words, the 'kingdom' continues to grow and grow, and looking at this qiē change, its thoughts are intertwined, but in the end, it is basically peace of mind and peace.
Lynn hadn't figured out the soul or anything, and so far, she hadn't figured out if there was such a thing, and if she wanted to, she thought a new way of exploring it was needed.
Beyond sight, smell, perception, hearing, and even brainwave perception, or more subtle than the current one, Lynn believes that sooner or later new ways will be discovered.
And it was much easier to keep Susumi's thoughts alive than to find the soul.
This is done using a method called 'brain remodeling', where Lynn has the Dream Brain devour a jade dragon's brain, breaking down all the components inside and reshaping it into a brain.
To be precise, it is not the same as the usual brain, because all the structures in it are remodeled with the components of the brain, and it is Lynn who uses a very small tentacle called a 'cellular tweezer'. Its end can pick up very small things inside the cell. Lynn had discovered a lot of things smaller than viruses. But it hasn't been named yet.
Then, Lin used countless of these tiny 'tweezers' to completely piece together the new brain, because after seeing the structure of countless brains, Lin was able to piece together a new brain very completely, and the process of piecing together was quite complicated, but in fact, it was not much more difficult than creating a new class, because of all the ingredients in it. Bonding methods, compositions, and so on are very familiar to Lin.
And it's not made up of cells that Lynn has split out of, so it's not part of Lynn.
But it is also a living thing, it can transmit brain waves like the brain, and it can operate like the original brain, and then inject the previously absorbed jade dragon brain waves into it, then the transfer is completed.
To put it simply, it is a dragon's mind transferred to this new 'brain'.
After injecting the brain wave, the new brain produces a reaction and begins to move, at this time it still has the original memories and thoughts, after all, the components and brain waves of this brain were originally reconstructed by the brain of the jade dragon. But unlike the original brain, it has no lifespan limit.
When Lynn reorganizes the whole brain, it is said that it is basically composed according to the original form. The ingredients inside are not completely decomposed, some small parts are directly put on them, but some small parts have been modified so that the cells inside can be replaced and kept updated.
In fact, brain cells do not renew and will slowly die and disappear as they age, but Lynn found that changing the number of small numbers has no effect on the overall mind, so as to ensure the life of the creature.
Lin currently makes this brain stick to the dream brain, and the nutrients are directly provided by the dream brain, and the thoughts inside can live in the dream forever.
Of course, Lynn can also get a new body or something for it in the same way, and even fit it with some other forms...... This seems interesting, but I don't plan to do so at the moment, after all, it's not necessary, and it's not the same as the original purpose of studying souls, which has nothing to do with souls......
So far, Lynn has only put a few dragons into a 'dream' state, including Susumi, Liddell, and another dragon.
If Lynn had studied this earlier, Tucker would have been able to enter this state......
At first, Susumi was surprised by this kind of thing, while Liddell was very excited and excited.
Lynn thought it would be more interesting if she had a soul, and now Susumi and Liddell had been in a dream state watching their race grow...... Constant change.
The territory of the Emerald Dragons is getting bigger and bigger, they are building a huge number of buildings, and the kings are constantly changing, and some kings will enter the dream realm when they encounter doubts, seeking Susumi's construction.
In the beginning, Susumi was very concerned about this qiē, and it would often give the new Wang Jianyi to tell them what to do, but after a long time, Susumi became much calmer, observing more places than immediately running to tell them how to do it......
It observes the changes in the city, and then thinks about these things, and it is not so light on those kings, only those jade dragons who can pass the guò 'trial' are qualified to meet Susumi.
And there are many things about trials, not only physical, but also mental, etc., these are all things that are originally in the dream world, but there are not many jade dragons who are willing to touch those trials, and Susumi will try to use them to train those dragons.
The Emerald Dragons grew in number and were about to crowd the jungle in the canyon, so Lin stopped them from breeding.
It's not about stopping them completely, it's about keeping their productivity and mortality consistent.
Because no matter how long it takes...... It's still a world of ice and snow outside, and Lynn can try to build a bigger place to live, but as long as it's still so cold outside, there's no point in making it bigger.
The places where the emerald dragons live are not all inhabited by them, and there are many places that are used to grow things, so they are very crowded now, and the more crowded they are, the more problems they have, and these emerald dragons will not think much about breeding themselves when they feel the pressure.
And Liddell, after entering the dream, had a different reaction......
When it arrived, it immediately tried to find Tucker and the other dead dragons, but it couldn't find them.
Lin told him as a pom-pom that it wasn't really a 'pom-pom realm', but it was a place closer to reality, where it could watch the growth of the group, and although Liddell didn't have a lot to worry about like Susumi, it also stayed and watched the future of the group......
Liddell, unlike Susumi, didn't need to give anything to the race, it just watched the dragons challenge the trials it had experienced, and then let out some exclamations.
It's very peaceful...... So far, Lin has only allowed a very small number of dragons to continue to live as part of the dream, and after that, Lin does not plan to add this number, unless there are very valuable dragons, such as inventing something amazing.
Susumi also invented some new things during this time, some of which were interesting and some of which could even help the Emerald Dragons progress, but what he hoped most was ...... See the phenomenon of rejuvenation and warmth outside.
No matter how prosperous it is here, not only Susumi, many dragons know what the scene is like outside, although the generations have changed, and now there are no dragons who are still alive who have really experienced the dinosaur continent and the things of riding the ark, but no matter which stone tablet or which story is constantly describing the scene of the disaster in the past.
And when they look up, they can see the blizzard raging outside......
Most dragons were terrified of the cold outside, but there were some young emerald dragons who wanted to try to get out of the canyon and climb outside to explore, and Lynn would usually let them out, and then they all froze to death.
Skeletal dragons, on the other hand, are more obedient to pompoms, they are more aware of the dangers outside, and they will try to climb close to the shell to observe, rather than trying to run out.
These two dragons also prefer to move in dreams, they now have the opportunity to meet their kings in dreams, and the dragons are now more yearning for the pom-pom realm, but where is the pom-pom realm?
Maybe it will be when the soul is discovered in the future......
But now, when Susumi and Liddell became part of the dream, it was the future.
Two hundred years seems like a short moment.
Not short, actually, because Lynn is not asleep, but has been observing the changes around her.
The entire canyon is already filled with all creatures, and their growth has to enter a phase of stagnation, but it seems that every creature understands that they can also slow down their reproduction when there is not enough space around them.
The same is true of the ancient squid at the bottom of the canyon, their numbers are 'full', and Lin observes their constant changes and finds that their life form is very similar to that of the skeleton dragon, so Lin also tries to make some communication with them......
Although the canyon is full, the outside world is still so empty and still so cold.
The extreme cold has lasted for more than two hundred years, and the cold storm still swept across the land outside when the Emerald Dragon and the Skeleton Dragon had alternated for many generations, and there seemed to be no living creatures outside except for the canyon and the dwelling place of the head worm.
But that's not the case......
Some creatures have survived the extreme cold for a long time, they have developed extremely resilient physical abilities, and they have lived in the cold, maintaining their population.
Standing scorpions, which have moved from island to island and have been searching for the remains of sea creatures, have survived despite the fact that their population has barely increased.
The other race, 'hand-picked' by Lynn, was a larger, full-fluffy creature that protected them from the cold and moved on ice.
However, Lynn's main focus now is still in the sky...... (To be continued......)
