Before any doubts could even arise, Wu You realized what state he was in.
time!
'Is this the reverse layer of time?'
Wu You's gaze remained fixed on the planet, but the frequent sensations of weightlessness, falling, and traversing gave him the illusion of constant movement.
Each time a layer of jelly-like substance is passed through, the planet's appearance changes drastically.
Initially, it was a battlefield between the Protoss fleet's attacking forces and the spawning red worms.
Behind them lies the world of the monstrous red worms, with one giant monstrous red worm, far thicker than a mountain and seemingly blotting out the sky, standing out prominently.
That must be the "unlucky guy" who was hit by a single shot from the Protoss fleet's psionic planet-destroying cannon, which combined the power of a thousand ships.
As his thoughts wandered, Wu You also strangely thought that the giant red worm seemed not to be dead yet, or rather, not completely dead, and was still struggling, but it was unable to recover from the damage caused by the terrifying spiritual energy that was essentially its nemesis and constantly eroding it.
Their vitality is terrifyingly strong, but death is only a matter of time.
But during the time Wu You was "passing by," this enormous monster continued to swagger around, occasionally peeking out from the planet's surface and into outer space to hunt for food in other places inhabited by living creatures.
A time capsule was traversed. The desolate planet was still teeming with abominations, but the number of red worms remained terrifying. However, the enormous monster that made the interstellar fleet look like a swarm of tadpoles in its presence was gone. It was unclear whether it had not yet appeared or was still inside the planet.
With each time travel, the number and size of the aberrations on this planet decrease, and with each travel, the planet's appearance improves considerably.
Even more strangely, the planet's core began to warm with these changes, and even the planet's gravity increased.
If traversing the interlayer is a process of going against the current, then the time and space in the middle of City A is a fast-forward playback in chronological order. Perhaps this is due to the influence of Wu You's own will, even though Wu You can clearly see the events that happened in this period of history.
During this process, Wu You witnessed the reproduction and proliferation of many monstrous red worms. These worms used the planet as nourishment, devouring its matter and even its heat energy, causing the planet to gradually weaken.
Time continues, and the repeated large-scale return to the Party's roots and small-scale playback proceeds. This traversal of will, the distance it crosses, seems even farther than a long interstellar journey.
Finally, at some point in history, the number of red worms that bred on the planet was no longer as dense as maggots.
Inside the planet, even traces of life could be seen: some ancient trees that had withered.
It can be seen that the area where the ancient trees were located was originally a huge forest. Even though the trees are dead, the red worms that breed from humans keep devouring them.
'Indeed, this was originally a planet teeming with life. While its size might not match the variety of life forms on Earth, the breadth of life was far greater.'
As one idea unfolds, another thought arises in the mind.
My will is seeking the source of that living primordial substance, and perhaps I will see it soon.
In yet another time-space interlayer crossing, Wu You's will and vision arrived at a completely different time.
On this earth, ruins can be seen, traces of a civilization that once existed, but the entire planet is now devoid of life.
However, the aberrations on the planet's surface are quite different. They are not just those red worms, and in fact, the number of aberration red worms is pitifully small. Other forms of aberrations are quite diverse.
There were insect-shaped, beast-shaped, and other bizarre forms, many of which Wu You had never seen before.
The planet is still alive!
At this time, the planet's core was still reacting, and the source of geothermal activity had not yet disappeared, but the entire planet appeared mottled and filled with infected filth.
This planet gives one the feeling of someone growing old and gradually dying, but not yet dead.
Wu You had never felt so strongly at this moment that the ecological planet was also a life, a great spawner.
He was struggling; He was terminally ill; He had no resistance left.
Over this timeline, as time progressed, the originally mottled dark red filth finally covered the entire planet from the inside out.
At the core of the planet, a small, tumor-like thing quietly appeared, like a parasitic heart, which would beat occasionally.
Wu You couldn't quite describe his feelings. Was it anger? Was it sympathy? Or was it sorrow?
Gently close your eyes, and your will and vision take shape high in the sky above the planet, a prism-like figure existing between illusion and reality.
It was as if he was participating in the funeral of this planet, and apart from himself, all that surrounded this powerless planet were ruthless devourers.
This also illustrates another point: the reproduction of offspring cannot be compared with that of conventional organisms.
At this point, the origin of the living proto-substance no longer needs further explanation. Regardless of how other living proto-substances came into being, at least this one was born at the cost of this ecological planet.
This observation of will also yielded the desired result.
But just as Wu You was about to withdraw his will, a strange feeling suddenly stirred in his heart.
'Could I go back a little further? To see what this planet used to look like?'
Once the thought was conceived, it could not be taken back. Wu You's strong thirst for knowledge immediately led him to unleash his power, even though doing so would, strictly speaking, surpass the so-called "source" of living matter.
But he thought it was worth a try.
Because he had transcended the timeline, his will to move forward became extremely stagnant, creating enormous resistance for him.
In reality, within the private crystal wall system world, the enormous living primordial substance appeared unusually weak due to Wu You's previous will-traversing.
With Wu You's new action, the living essence's physical body quickly began to "wither".
Wu You could sense this, but his strong desire prevented him from giving up halfway.
If before it was like navigating through a curtain of water or expanding a jelly-like substance, now it's like swimming against the current in a raging flood.
Its will is as firm as metal and stone, and it has not been harmed, but the difficulty of moving forward increases exponentially with every inch it goes forward.
But at least it proves that this is feasible.
'You can't stop me! You can't stop me!'
A strong desire, tinged with anger, caused the will's vision to falter and break through the illusion, transforming once again into a majestic, ethereal, and mysterious shadow.
At this moment, Wu You's will, spirit, and soul seemed to merge into this figure, rising headlong into the torrent of time.
"Boom!"
The massive flood peak acted as if mountains collapsed and the earth split open, as if the ocean of an entire world had been completely overturned.
