Steel steam and flame

It should be night at this time, and the background of the sky should be a dark blue starry sky. The burning flames were too hot, and the light they emitted directly illuminated the entire starry sky, and the brightness of the stars became much dimmer.

The continent-like canopy is more like floating in the starry sky, and the flames are spreading along the huge trunks, but have not yet reached the top of the canopy. And further above it, further away, six huge red stars of different sizes are arranged irregularly. Each one is like a sun, emitting dark red light by itself.

The light seemed to have no heat, only a color that made people feel cold inside. The red star is unusually huge, perhaps because it is closer. It is several times larger than the moon in terms of visual perception. The pits and lines on it are clearly visible at this moment.

Cassia was suddenly attracted by the red star. Subconsciously, the layer of rapidly multiplying mold material on the trunk of the ancient historical world tree did not attract him; the light of the red star that seemed to promote the growth of the mold material did not attract him; he was even being raped. The dark red eroded moon did not attract him. Instead, after seeing the six red stars, the unusually clear scene above immediately made him understand where the focus was at this moment.

This is an instinctive choice. As long as you see it, you will naturally understand the correct answer.

The lines on the red star seem to have been damaged, probably caused by collisions with other stars over a long period of time.

"There must be a protective mechanism to prevent collisions, but has time eroded everything after all?" Cassia couldn't help but sigh, "However, only a small part was damaged. Although the lines on it are incomplete, they still function." This is not a result derived from calculations. It is seeing that the Red Star can still come back here from a distant place. This action is enough to show that although there are problems with its operation, it is generally within the normal category.

Moreover, the time point of these six red stars is in ancient history, and a longer time has passed since now.

Cassia immediately began to remember the still complete lines, fearing that such an illusion would suddenly disappear. It's just that the textures are only visually complicated. When it comes to real memory, the difficulty immediately increases significantly. At this time, in the illusion, Cassia could also feel a little connection from the rapid movement of the mental body. Those uranium-gold energy light balls that were originally prepared for contact with mold substances are now being used due to the huge workload of memory lines.

But even so, Cassia, who chose the visually largest red star, soon realized her lack of memory ability. The red star pattern itself has power. Although it has not changed, only when you focus your attention and observe it together, you can realize how difficult it is to remember.

It's just texture. Why do I have this completely unfamiliar thing? Every bit of memory requires a huge price to learn? There was no time to think about such a problem. Cassia concentrated all her energy and attention and copied the lines into her memory one by one through her sight.

At the same time, in the actual reality outside the illusion, time passes much faster than what Cassia experienced and perceived in the illusion.

The right hand he pressed had already touched the fragments of the World Tree. The moldy substances on it were just like when they climbed all over the tree trunk in the illusion. Starting from his right hand, they were spreading crazily towards the whole body, and they were bright red bit by bit. Dots cover the layer of liquid gold scales and wrap them up.

In less than two minutes, Cassia, standing on the root of the tree, changed from a silver statue to a bright red one with a blurred outline. A small crackling sound began to come from under the spark-like bright red mold material, as if firewood was being burned violently in a fire.

When the tiny crackling sounds became more intensive, a dull heart-like sound came from the center of Cassia's chest. Immediately, the dull sound of the beating heart intensified, and along with the vibration of the surrounding hot air, layers of ripples of vibration dispersed in all directions.

The next moment, with a dull sound, the moldy substances wrapping Cassia suddenly stopped moving in a sticky manner, and the light they emitted suddenly weakened. Like soil, the sticky mold material begins to lose moisture and then dries up.

Their wriggling became slower and slower, until with a "click" sound, they dried up like blanks that failed to be sintered, with several cracks appearing, revealing a little bit of Cassia's skin, which itself glowed dark red. The cracks seemed to be a signal. Just one or two breaths, and there were cracks in Cassia's chest.

Through the cracks, it can be seen that the liquid gold scales on his chest have disappeared, and the energy conversion structure is completely exposed. A large amount of green fluorescence is excited from it, with a permeating visual sense, polluting the hot light in this cavity!

The drying of the mold material did not stop, and now it moved from Cassia towards the World Tree fragments. The sound of dry cracking became more and more frequent, and the number of cracks became more and more dense.

"Click..."

A piece of completely dried mold material, like the dead bark of a tree, fell off Cassia's body, hit the intertwined tree roots below, and turned into scattered fragments. Another piece of dried mold material followed closely and fell off...

When the small half of the mold material fell off, the green fluorescence emitted by the energy conversion structure on Cassia's chest converged. But while it became dim, complex lines were looming on Cassia's liquid gold skin. There are green light spots swimming along these looming lines. As the light spots speed up, the lines gradually take on the texture of a green light path network, like an apparent optical flow network.

In the gradually brightening optical flow net, potholes of different sizes will occasionally appear, as if caused by impacts. But in the end, the appearance of these pits was not determined, and blanks finally replaced them.

Subconsciously, the red star pattern that Cassia remembered in the illusion has appeared on his body.

At the same time, Cassie Hei, who was lying on the ground vigilantly, seemed to feel something. He raised his head and looked at the location of the cavity under the ground. It roared, immediately got up, and was about to rush to the nearest cave entrance when the voice of the new world tree rang directly in its head, comforting it and telling it not to worry.

"Even the red stars in ancient history have been eroded for a long time and have become incomplete. However, now is a new era of change. It may be good to use the simulation and replication of red stars as the starting point for evolution. An attempt..."
