Vibrating Reincarnation

After explaining her plan to Girl once more, Mo Ling came before the cage.

She did not know whether her method would work, but she had to try.

Selecting the cage along with everything inside it, Mo Ling activated the teleportation. Dream Qilin vanished from before her eyes.

Mo Ling hurried into Kimchi Space.

Dream Qilin had already stopped moving.

The colors across its body had dimmed, its glow had vanished, and the color was fading from its outer edges.

Its dazzling skin slowly receded toward black, the fading happening incredibly quickly.

Dream Qilin grew darker and darker until it became like Black Horn—an absolute black.

Mo Ling blinked, and the cage was already completely empty.

She quickly returned outside and told Li Luo what had happened.

"We can wake up now."

Li Luo nodded.

Mo Ling opened her eyes to the familiar metal walls.

She habitually stood up, then hurriedly stopped before hitting her head.

Her legs were already sore, so she quickly stretched.

How long had passed?

Looking outside, Li Luo was also checking the time.

Ten minutes.

During the time they had spent in the dream, only ten minutes had passed outside.

Although Mo Ling had long known that time seemed to pass quickly in dreams, the sensation of a day in the heavens equaling a year on earth still left her dazed.

Li Luo turned around, apparently wanting someone to talk to.

But when she saw a lifeless metal Cube instead of a person before her, she froze in place again.

Mo Ling tossed a canned box outside.

The sound of metal colliding immediately snapped Girl back to her senses.

There were more important things to do.

Listening carefully, the dull vibrations had returned.

Mo Ling looked at Black Horn inside the Cube.

Black Horn was still there, which meant something else had drawn the Shock Beasts' attention.

She teleported Black Horn onto the ground in front of Li Luo.

This time, the flood of Shock Beasts did not surge over again. Judging by the sounds gradually growing distant, they all seemed to be moving toward the other side of the valley.

Li Luo picked up Black Horn, apparently listening intently to the activity in the valley as well.

After confirming it, she placed Black Horn back on the Cube, and Mo Ling retrieved it.

At that moment, no words were needed. Both of them had the same thought.

Li Luo got into the vehicle and set off in the direction the Shock Beasts were moving.

Judging from the direction, Dream Qilin, which had entered reality, was not in the same place as the Black Horn they had discovered earlier.

Mo Ling was worried.

If her guess was correct, where would it land?

Fortunately, before the vehicle had traveled far, Li Luo found where the Shock Beasts had gathered.

She took out the Recording Device and began recording the scene before her.

In the distance, the Shock Beasts attacked the companions around them like Mad Demons.

The red Flesh Slime Ocean surged past, sweeping every isolated Shock Beast along its path into itself.

Everything that had happened when they fought over Black Horn in the Great Pit played out once more.

Whether because Black Horn had vanished or because what had appeared this time was Dream Qilin's main body, the Shock Beasts' reactions were even more intense than before.

The Flesh Slime tide grew larger and larger, and soon an even stranger change occurred.

The Shock Beasts swept into the tide abandoned their bodies, broke free from the Metal Mesh, and joined the tide.

To avoid being drowned, they ultimately all chose to become Flesh Slimes.

Soon, the Shock Beasts within the tide were left with nothing but empty shells, no longer struggling.

Their jointed limbs sank beneath the surface, leaving behind only an even more terrifying Slime Ocean.

And that was not all. The very front of the giant wave of Slimes began to change.

At first, the outlines of individual Slimes could still be clearly seen amid the surging tide.

But slowly, the gaps between them were squeezed shut and filled, their once-clear outlines gradually blurring.

The Slimes stuck together.

Under the constant pressure, they eventually had no room left even to bounce.

Countless Slimes were compressed into their smallest forms.

As the tide passed over an uphill slope, it actually came to a stop.

The Slimes at the front were squeezed together by companions arriving one after another from behind, unable to advance any farther.

The constantly bouncing flesh was forcibly suppressed, unable to move.

Mo Ling stared at the Recording Device in shock.

This was insane!

They had been suppressed for far too long.

The Red String Worms still drove them onward.

At last, evolution began.

The Flesh Slimes forcibly squeezed together began to merge with one another.

It started at the very front, then continued spreading backward.

Soon, the boundaries between the Slimes disappeared, and a huge writhing creature slowly emerged.

The vibrations of every Slime merged into one. In an instant, they became unified, and a rhythmic, heavy tremor echoed through the valley.

It no longer remained stuck in place, instead slowly moving forward.

As though it found itself too slow, a tail began growing from its rounded edge, swinging constantly to propel it onward.

Then, like a tadpole, it grew four limbs and began crawling across the ground.

But the vibrations it could not stop made its movements crooked and unsteady.

So it changed the way it moved.

It jumped.

Accompanied by repeated tremors, it began to leap. After every jump, its forelimbs degenerated a little, shifting its strength into its hind limbs.

Soon, it had only two hind limbs left.

But every time it landed from a jump, the immense force of gravity made it fall forward and injure itself.

So its increasingly powerful hind limbs were no longer satisfied with merely jumping. It stood up, its two hind limbs gradually lengthening and bending into the most shock-absorbing shape.

One step, two steps, three steps...

When it took the ninth step, the giant beast made of flesh became what it had originally looked like.

A gigantic Shock Beast was born.

Two unbalanced jointed limbs moved alternately, one before the other.

The limbs plunged deep into the ground, cycling back and forth with the pulse of flesh and channeling the vibrations underground.

Its head was a bright red sphere, blood constantly gathering upward as its color gradually deepened.

Meanwhile, the limbs below grew harder and harder after the blood flowed out, beginning to turn the color of metal.

It constantly searched for a way to release its own vibrations, eventually evolving into this form.

When Mo Ling saw this Shock Beast appear, her heart was filled with awe.

"So this is how Shock Beasts evolved."

Mo Ling had thought their bizarre shapes were randomly formed.

She had never expected that the earliest Shock Beasts had already possessed vibrations they could not control.

No wonder Shock Beasts were so sensitive to vibrations, hated them so deeply, and even attacked their own companions.

Since their birth, these creatures had been fighting against the ability they were born with.

Even as they gained the power of vibration, they also endured the pain it brought.

This was the price!
