I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 450 Maggots in the Canyon
"You may not believe it, but that's what we used to be like." The Building Block Bird said with great emotion, as if he had thought of something.

"The fragments?"

Li Luo looked at the pile of debris, then looked at the building blocks under him, and was very surprised.

"Not quite like it."

"Of course not. We originally had no color..."

The building block bird was circling and telling Li Luo their past stories...

……

It also doesn't know what they are.

Maybe it's some kind of bacteria, or maybe it's some kind of energy body.

At the beginning, they were a race trapped in the mirror fragments.

But they don't know that they are trapped, because from their perspective, their world is very big, so big that it has no boundaries.

The space they are in is wrapped in mirrors, and they can see infinitely far away through multiple reflections of the mirrors.

There are also "tribesmen" like them in those mirrors. Although they cannot communicate and are very stupid, at least they don't feel lonely.

They claim to be the gods who control everything in the mirror space, leading the countless "people" in the mirror, and are omnipotent in that tiny space.

"We were very content at the time, because we thought that the world was so big and everything was already very good, but..."

The arrival of an outer god broke all this.

That outer god came from a cube-shaped mirror world. After coming to their world, he told them the truth about the world.

"We are just pitiful lives trapped, and those people are just reflections. Everything is false."

After knowing all this, they are no longer satisfied with this small space. They want to go out and see the real world with their own eyes.

An emotion called "curiosity" arose in their hearts, and at this moment, they began to regard "transcendence" as their goal.

Transcend this tiny space.

Transcend this false world.

Rise above this foolish appearance.

Transcend this predetermined future.

……

They followed the Outer Gods, traveled through one world after another, and spread the truth of the world to more and more compatriots.

Most of our compatriots chose to leave the false world, but some of them were unable to move due to their form and were trapped in that tiny space.

They continued to travel through time and again until they broke through the world and rushed into reality, but the Outer Gods disappeared.

"It rescued all its people, but its own energy was exhausted..."

The Outer God could have transcended on its own, but it insisted on taking a large number of its compatriots with it, thus carrying a heavy burden.

“We saw the real world, but the person who led us to transcendence disappeared forever.”

They saw that the world that trapped them was actually just a mountain of scattered glass fragments, and they had wasted countless energy just to shuttle between the different fragments.

Now, after sacrificing the Outer Gods, we are truly standing in reality.

But now they can't even move.

They rely on those fragments to exist, and if they leave the fragments, they will quickly die.

Even though they have seen the reality, they are still trapped by illusion.

At this time, some companions proposed a method:
"Some of the companions return to the fragments and control them, while the remaining ones transmit information outside, telling the companions in the fragments how to manipulate them, so that they can make the fragments move."

But in this way, the companions who return to the fragments will never be able to come out again.

Without the Outer Gods, they could no longer transcend. This method would sacrifice the freedom of many of their companions and force them back into that cramped space, which was undoubtedly a terrible torment for them who had seen the real world.

But they did not hesitate.

Countless companions voluntarily returned to the fragments and became "parts" controlled by others, combining into a "machine" that can move.

As companions re-entered the fragments one by one, this "machine" that embodied the efforts of an entire race took its first step in the canyon.

That's one small step for "machines," one giant leap for their species.

From this moment on, they moved towards a new future.

Through constant debugging, they figured out how to make the "machine" move faster.

Those real creatures also gave them great inspiration.

They use suitable fragments of different shapes to connect with each other to form a more solid structure, simulating the physiological mechanisms of real organisms, making this "transcendent machine" more and more sensitive.

At that time, they thought that "reality" was this endless mountain of debris.

However, a transcendent will has always been guiding them.

They drilled into the deepest canyons, climbed the highest mountains, and studied the world with their ignorant eyes.

Finally, they came to a conclusion:
“This is fake too.”

This endless mountain of debris is just a corner of the world.

“The detachment is not over yet.”

They studied the timing of the appearance of fragments and found that when fragments appear, a passage to the outside world will appear.

At that time, they didn't know that this was the Sea of ​​Creation dumping "garbage", but they knew that this was an opportunity to escape.

Finally, during a garbage dump, they took the opportunity to climb the highest mountain, jumped into the mirror crack, and escaped.

"It was not until then that we saw the original appearance of the Sea of ​​Creation for the first time. It turned out that the earth was smooth, the sky had colors, and everything was complete. What we thought was the top of the world was actually the bottom of the world."

They saw the birds flying in the sky and the free glass creatures in the mirror. The endless sea of ​​creation seemed extremely vivid to them.

"Can we fly into the sky, too?"

“Does flying into the sky mean true transcendence?”

They imitated the birds, clumsily flapping their newly formed wings.

The parts made up of compatriots creaked, and the wind of freedom slowly lifted up this race trapped in tiny fragments.

They were wearing shackles, but their eyes were fixed on the sky. Countless tiny fragments turned into feathers, sparkling in the sunlight.

The transcendent giant bird soared into the sky and then fell to the ground.

The giant bird picked up the parts scattered on the ground, put them on its body, and flapped its wings again.

"Detachment!"

I don't know who shouted.

They are individual parts and also the building blocks that make up transcendence.

They are prisoners trapped in the fragments and can never leave, but they are also free souls that have already soared into the sky.

They are maggots struggling to crawl in the garbage dump, and they are also fledglings desperately flapping their wings in an attempt to escape from the earth...

"Detachment!"

Their sounds travel from the surface into the fragments, finally resonating throughout their bodies.

Tiny tremors gathered together, and the yearning for transcendence tore through the air along with the sound waves.

This time, gravity can no longer stop the free soul...
