I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 666: Shadow Lost in Light

"Weak, too weak."

Looking at the fading world, disappearing creatures, and the vicissitudes of life... Wenwen suddenly felt that they were somewhat unworthy.

Even though the vines had done so much for them, they were too weak to bear this gift from heaven.

Their lifespan is limited, and they don’t know when death will come. They fight all day long for food, territory, and reproduction. They cannot see the colorful world outside. They live in a daze, and in the blink of an eye, they turn into a wisp of dust.

Even an entire race is so fragile.

Only vines can travel the world with the eyes of these weak races.

They should have been eliminated in the corner and become nutrients for the abyss, but the vines gave them a different perspective.

"If only they could be a little stronger."

If all creatures in the world were strong enough, the vines wouldn't have to work so hard...

A strange idea emerged in my simple mind:

It wants to make all races strong.

At least make them worthy of the vines' sacrifice.

They are protected by the vines' bodies and must live forever.

Maybe by then, the vines won't need to protect them anymore, and it can come back from the abyss...

As he thought about it, new hope emerged in Wenwen's heart.

"If all living things become strong, there will be no need for anyone to protect anyone else, and they can come back."

But how to make all creatures powerful?
There was no clue after asking, so it could only find the Eternal Thirst again.

Seeing that it was Wenwen who came alone, the Eternal Thirst had already guessed what had happened.

"I knew it would do that..."

"What are you doing here? Do you want to trade with me too?" asked the Eternal Thirst helplessly.

Wenwen told his doubts to the Eternal Thirst.

"The way to make a creature stronger? Either through transformation or through struggle. Transformation is prone to problems, so the best way is struggle. The creature will naturally become stronger in the struggle and find its own way out."

The Everthirsty did not find this a particularly difficult question to answer.

But after asking and listening, he still looked confused.

There was no other way, the Eternal Thirst could only throw some books about biological evolution to Wenqun and let it read them in the library.

"Origin of Species", "Struggle and Fusion", "Blood and Evolution", "Elimination War", "Effective Killing", "Color Mixing"...

Most of these books are about the survival of the fittest.

Struggle can screen out the strong and also lead to the integration of races.

Wenwen looked at these books and asked the Eternal Thirst a question:
“What if the struggle hadn’t happened?”

"Then force a fight to happen. Throwing creatures of different races together will definitely lead to a fight or integration."

"understood."

Continue reading...

However, it has no survival experience and does not understand these obscure books about the competition for survival at all, and still tirelessly asks the Eternally Thirsty various questions.

"What if both races perish together?"

"If they all choose to flee, then there will be no struggle, right?"

"War brings about evolution, but also destruction. What if the destruction exceeds the evolution?"

“Is there any meaning in a struggle between people with such a huge gap in strength?”

"..."

The Everthirsty was very troubled. The vines ran away by themselves, but left the "Hundred Thousand Whys" behind. Because the vines protected Wenwen too well, Wenwen is now like a young child who is ignorant of the world and does not understand a lot of common sense.

"Forget it, let you experience it yourself."

The Eternal Thirst simply grabbed Wenwen's vine tendril and threw it into the world of the book.

"Where is this?" Wenwen asked curiously. "This is the world in the book. Everything here is the embodiment of knowledge. You can experiment and play around by yourself."

After finishing the instructions, the Everthirst ran away in a hurry. It had a lot of things to do and had no time to help the vines "babysit".

Anyway, everything in the world of the book is fictional, so it doesn't matter if Wenwen destroys it at will, as long as he stops bothering me.

Just like that, Wenwen was thrown into this large amusement park...

……

When it saw this scene, the black shadow's attack stopped, the surging black smoke suddenly faded away, and it turned into a human form again, but this time, it held a black vine in its hand.

"So this is your past?"

The black shadow didn't expect that the culprit it identified was actually just a "young child".

Now, it doesn't know how to deal with it.

The black tendrils kept swaying in the shadow's hand, as if trying to break free, but were held tightly by the shadow and could not escape at all...

The lost light becomes a "filter" that protects everything on the abyss.

And the lonely shadow messes up the world in the book.

The black shadow was clearly still a little overwhelmed. It clutched the vine's tendrils, stood in the pure white debris, and was stunned for a long time.

Just as it was stunned, an electronic screen suddenly appeared in mid-air, and the black shadow quickly caught the electronic screen with his other hand.

It looked closely and saw a strange question written on the electronic screen:

“Do you feel the movement of debris?”

flow?

"What flow?"

It turned its head and looked at the pure white debris around it. These debris were just falling continuously under the action of gravity, like a heavy snow, and there was no sign of "flow".

Then, it looked at the cube that had been floating in the air with doubt...

But at this moment, Mo Ling in the cube felt something completely different from the black shadow.

This fragmented snow seems to be "swinging" at a steady frequency.

The trajectory of the falling snowflakes is shaking, like an ever-expanding spiral. The further down you go, the larger the amplitude of the spiral becomes.

However, these falling trajectories will be "corrected" at the same time, and the original spiral line will become a straight line in the blink of an eye, and then continue to produce spirals from small to large.

At the same time, it seems that the entire space is rotating with the spiral, so the change in trajectory becomes very unobvious.

“Why does this happen?”

Mo Ling did not notice this inconspicuous phenomenon at first. It was only during several times of black smoke sweeping that he observed this strange "flow".

The black smoke released by the black shadow will also be affected by the same spiral force, but the black shadow itself cannot feel it.

Because the black shadow itself is also rotating with the spiral, the two are relatively still, so of course no movement can be felt.

"Then why can I feel it?"

Could it be that the cube is outside the influence of this spiral force?
Mo Ling spotted a piece of falling debris and carefully transferred it into the block. After knowing the origin of the debris, he was not so cautious anymore.

The debris still maintains its inertia and slowly falls under the action of the spiral force.

Mo Ling stretched out his palm and caught the falling glowing debris.

The moment it came into contact with Mo Ling, the debris suddenly lost its luster, and under the light, it turned out to be a small piece of dry vine stem bark.

Lying in Mo Ling's hands, the rhizome bark actually slowly began to regain vitality.

The originally dry and wrinkled stem bark suddenly swelled up as if it had suddenly absorbed enough water, and spread out in Mo Ling's palm.

Immediately afterwards, the stem bark began to wriggle and secrete a jelly-like mucus. The stem bark was suspended in the jelly, becoming bulging and gradually expanding into a spherical object.

Mo Ling was completely stunned. After a series of changes, what was lying in his palm was actually a -

eye.
