The wizard's tower, like a speck of dust, silently disappeared into the purple mist.
The runes on the outer layer of the tower glowed faintly, gently pushing away the energy particles that surged from the surrounding area.
But there were simply too many particles in the purple mist. Billions of tiny points of light surged toward the tower, each impact creating a tiny ripple.
Ian stood before the crystal wall, staring at the purple mist outside the tower, his brows slightly furrowed.
He dared not extend his mental energy directly, for fear of disturbing some unknown entity, but the fog in front of him seemed to have no end.
The tower spirit seemed to sense Ian's gloom and silently intensified its scan.
"Master, the activity of the unknown energy particles continues to rise, and they are attempting to penetrate the surface runes of the Wizard Tower. I have analyzed their behavior patterns and found that they have a high degree of directional attraction and an adsorption instinct."
On the screen, the curve representing particle concentration is slowly climbing upwards.
It rose from the initial 67% to 72%, and then to 79%.
Every second, more energy particles surged from the depths of the mist, crashing against the tower like moths to a flame.
"Tower Spirit, check the load status of the blind spot rune array."
"Yes, current load: 41%...43%...45%..." Tarling projected the data onto the screen.
Ian secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Keep it up, don't retaliate, and avoid exposing your energy fluctuations."
He placed his right hand lightly on the crystal wall, the power of rules flowing silently from his fingertips, ready to take over control of the wizard tower at any moment.
Just then, the soul connection belonging to Kerrigan in her mental sea trembled without warning.
This was an emotion that Ian had never felt in her before.
Kerrigan trembled, her thoughts rushing directly into Ian's consciousness, "Master!!"
"This feeling...it's my hometown...the taste of home!!"
Ian's eyes narrowed, and his consciousness sank into the tower to investigate.
Kerrigan was currently crouching in the center of the plain, the dark gold star patterns on her carapace flashing wildly.
The guardian insects surrounding her had their compound eyes filled with confusion and vigilance. They sensed the mother insect's abnormal emotions but could not understand her behavior.
"Master, can you feel it?" Kerrigan's tentacles thrashed wildly in the air, creating afterimages.
Her soul still trembled, this time with a newfound, devout longing: "This is the source of the Zerg's evolution, the aura of the super-energy crystal..."
Ian's consciousness surfaced above the plain, suppressing Kerrigan's agitation. "What is a super-energy crystal? Explain it in detail."
Kerrigan nodded vigorously. "Deep in my memory, I will never forget this scent."
"That is the most crucial resource for the Void Zerg, the energy source for the reproduction, evolution, and mass production of all Mother Nests."
Her mind conjured up fragmented images.
In the endless depths of the void, dark purple planets float.
The planet's surface has no atmosphere, no life, only countless Zerg nests stretching to the horizon.
Deep within the underground nest, clusters of crystal pillars emitting a soft white light grow together.
Zerg units circled the crystal pillars like pilgrims, absorbing the pure energy within.
The energy flows into the mother hive, transforms into biomass, and hatches batches of new Zerg.
Screen switch.
A giant mother nest with a diameter of over ten thousand miles has a pure white crystal at its core, the size of a mountain. The dissipated energy forms raindrops that nourish the entire mother nest.
On the surface of the mother nest, countless insect eggs hatched, from first-level drones to fourth-level guardian insects, the hatching speed was astonishing.
"That's a super-energy crystal."
Kerrigan's thoughts were filled with a deep longing, and a hint of... inferiority.
"A complete mother nest will have one or more super-energy crystal veins. They are the foundation of the nest and a necessity for becoming a level 5 or 6 existence."
She curled up, her whiskers drooping limply. "And I am just a reproductive tool that was created."
"I have never owned my own super-energy crystal vein. My current energy source is simply devouring other creatures and absorbing void energy."
"Therefore, my evolutionary ceiling is locked, and I can never break through to the true level five mother nest level."
Ian listened quietly, his mind racing as he analyzed the situation.
Super-energy crystals, the source of Zerg evolution—if such a thing truly exists in the Purple Mist World…
"Can you confirm the specifics?"
"No," Kerrigan shook her head. "I can only sense the aura emanating from the entire planet."
She suddenly raised her head, a hint of confusion flashing in her compound eyes. "Master, something's not right here."
"The Zerg's super-energy crystal mineral planets don't have this purple mist around them. The crystals emit white light and don't provide any concealment."
"I've never seen this kind of fog before."
Ian's eyes flickered slightly; the super-energy crystal mine was free of mist.
The Purple Mist World not only has mist, but is also highly active. Its world will has disappeared, but its planetary structure remains intact.
These three anomalies began to piece together in Ian's mind. "Come with me."
The surrounding walls were covered with millions of runes that shimmered like stars, filling her with instinctive awe. This was a power beyond her comprehension.
But her attention was quickly drawn to the view outside the crystal wall.
The purple mist stretched as far as the eye could see, an endless, churning purple fog.
Kerrigan lay prostrate before the crystal wall, her golden compound eyes fixed on the outside, her whiskers swaying gently, as if she were sniffing or listening.
Seeing this, Ian said, "Taling, show her the external perception data."
"Yes, my master."
An invisible stream of information flowed into Kerrigan's consciousness.
Analysis of fog components, energy particle activity curves, stability of spatial structure, regular fluctuation spectrum...
After processing the information, Kerrigan remained silent for a moment, her eyes shifting from confusion to shock, and then to solemnity.
"Master, I swear on my soul that there are definitely super-energy crystals on this planet, and there are quite a few of them."
"This energy emanates from the depths of the planet and permeates the entire planet. This purple mist is all imbued with a faint trace of supernatural energy."
Confusion returned to her eyes. "But the Zerg's super-energy crystal mines shouldn't have this kind of mist."
Kerrigan suddenly remembered something, and her eyes lit up.
"Master! In my fragmented memories, super-energy crystal veins are occasionally accompanied by a special mineral."
"But only the mother nest can enjoy it; I have never eaten it."
A golden glint flashed in Ian's eyes—the accompanying mineral of the super-energy crystal.
A faint clue began to connect in his mind.
"Tower Spirit, continue forward at a minimum speed, prioritizing areas with relatively low fog density and avoiding the Tidal Core."
"Yes, we are adjusting our course and sailing at low speed."
The Tower of Eternity moved slowly forward in the purple mist, like a submarine diving into the deep sea, gliding silently.
Three more hours passed, a negligible amount of time for void travel.
But within the purple mist, every second felt incredibly long.
The tower spirit's report sounded every ten minutes.
"Upon encountering the first wave of the fog tide, the particle concentration surged by 230%..."
"Blind Spot Rune Array Load: 58%..."
"We are adjusting the tower's angle to cut into the weak zone at the edge of the tide."
Inside the spherical space, Ian's hands pressed down, resonating with the millions of runes on the surface of the tower.
At this moment, his soul perception was completely synchronized with the Wizard Tower, and the state of each rune and the flow of energy were clearly reflected in the depths of his consciousness.
From the depths of the purple mist, massive amounts of energy particles surged forth.
The particles were no longer floating randomly, but began to converge in a regular pattern, forming purple vortexes.
The energy at the center of the vortex was terrifyingly high; even through the protection of the wizard tower, Ian could feel the oppressive atmosphere.
"Turn 37 degrees to the left, descend 15 degrees, and avoid the vortex ahead." He began to take control of the wizard tower, with the tower spirit assisting in its operation.
The tower tilted slightly, drawing an elegant arc along the edge of the vortex, narrowly avoiding the core area with the highest concentration.
However, the edge of the vortex still swept across the tower, and within the spherical space, all the runes simultaneously lit up with a dazzling silver light.
"Master! The rune load has reached 70%. There are minor energy leaks at three nodes on the surface. We are urgently repairing them."
Ian's eyes were calm as the rules of gravity flowed from his fingertips, spreading along the rune veins to the entire tower.
The energy particles that attempted to penetrate the gravitational field had their trajectories forcibly distorted the moment they touched the gravitational field.
"Keep moving forward." His voice was slightly cold.
When he made his move, he keenly sensed something unusual.
The convergence of those energy particles and the process of forming vortices were so regular that they didn't seem like a natural phenomenon at all.
It's more like... a pre-set defense mechanism.
"Taling, record all the data from the tide just now, and focus on analyzing the mathematical patterns of the particle trajectories."
"Okay, recording and analyzing... An anomaly detected: the particle convergence trajectory conforms to the 'Fibonacci spiral' mathematical model with a probability of 99.7%."
"The probability of this model appearing in nature is less than 0.01%."
Ian's lips curled up slightly. The Fibonacci spiral, also known as the golden spiral.
The most perfect growth patterns in nature are commonly seen in plant leaf arrangements, galactic spiral arms, hurricane structures, etc.
But would the energy particles in the fog spontaneously form this pattern?
"This mist is alive," he muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with golden light.
"But its consciousness is incomplete; it's more like some kind of pre-programmed defense system."
"Someone, or some kind of being, is manipulating this fog, and the purpose is probably to provide cover."
Kerrigan lay prostrate before the crystal wall, her whiskers trembling slightly.
She also sensed it, that faint consciousness hidden deep within the mist.
It doesn't resemble the thinking of intelligent life, but rather the attraction of plants to sunlight, or the protection of territory by wild animals.
"Master, this mist seems to breathe." She seemed unsure.
Ian's eyes narrowed, and he retrieved the data recorded by the tower spirit, extending the timeline to three hours.
On the screen, the curve representing particle concentration shows clear periodic fluctuations.
Peaks, troughs, peaks, troughs... The intervals between each fluctuation are almost exactly equal, with an error of no more than one-thousandth of a second.
"It really does feel like breathing." Ian stared at the screen, his mind racing with calculations.
"If the fog activity is the breathing of some kind of life form, then the scale of this life form is probably enough to cover the entire planet."
He already had his answer and turned to look at Kerrigan.
"Can the Zerg's super-energy crystals be absorbed by other life forms?"
Kerrigan paused, a thoughtful look flashing in her compound eyes.
"The energy fluctuation frequency of the super-crystal is perfectly compatible with the Zerg soul. As for whether other life forms can absorb it, they probably can't."
Just then, the tower spirit's notification sounded again.
"Master, a sudden change in the spatial structure has been detected ahead. The fog concentration is decreasing rapidly, faster than expected."
Ian immediately looked up at the outside of the crystal wall, where the originally dense purple mist was becoming increasingly thin.
The visibility around the tower increased from one kilometer to ten thousand meters, and then to one hundred thousand meters...
Finally, a sudden bright light appeared before their eyes, and the purple mist was completely left behind.
Ian saw the scene inside the purple mist world, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
What lay before me was a desolate and wild landscape.
The towering trees that came into view could no longer be described as simply tall.
The shortest are at least 100 meters tall, and the tallest trunks pierce the sky, their crowns disappearing above the clouds, making it impossible to see the top.
There are many trees with trunks exceeding 100 meters in diameter, their surfaces covered with bark that has a metallic sheen.
The branches stretched out in all directions like a giant dragon, and each leaf was as big as a house, swaying gently in the breeze.
The herds of animals on the ground numbered in the thousands, sweeping across the plains like a surging tide.
The beasts were generally over ten meters tall, with the smallest being the size of an elephant.
Their appearances are bizarre; some have three heads, while others have two wings on their backs, but the wing structure is twisted, as if they have not fully evolved.
Some are covered entirely in crystal-like shells that reflect a rainbow of colors in the sunlight.
Without exception, every single beast emanated energy fluctuations at least at the level of a wizard apprentice.
Ian casually swept his thoughts around, and the auras of level three and four scattered everywhere. Some of these auras had even reached the peak of level four, just one step away from breaking through to level five.
The sky was equally lively, with flying creatures with wingspans exceeding 100 meters sweeping across like dark clouds.
Their wings are not covered with feathers, but with translucent membranes containing purple energy veins.
Each flap of its wings leaves a long trail of energy behind it.
In the river, an aquatic creature, as large as a blue whale, leaps out of the water, revealing a huge mouth full of sharp teeth.
Further away, a giant active volcano is erupting, with dark red lava pouring down from the summit, turning the surrounding land red for miles around.
Thick smoke billowed into the sky above the crater, rising tens of thousands of meters into the air and mingling with the clouds.
But what surprised Ian the most was not these extraordinary creatures, but the Tower Spirit's report.
"Master, scan complete. The planet's surface area is approximately 78 billion square kilometers. About 270,000 Level 3 energy reactions were detected, about 34,000 Level 4 energy reactions were detected, and 19 Level 4 peak energy reactions were detected."
Ian stared at the string of numbers on the screen, his brow slowly relaxing.
"The total amount of the world's origin on a medium-energy planet is finite."
"There is a theoretical upper limit to the number of extraordinary creatures it can support, calculated according to the Alliance's 'World Ecological Carrying Capacity Formula'..."
With a thought, a complex mathematical model appeared in his mind.
World radius, gravitational constant, source concentration, rule strength... all parameters are substituted into the formula to obtain the result.
"It can support a maximum of about 8000 level 3 creatures, about 500 level 4 creatures, and no more than 10 level 4 creatures at their peak."
However, the actual number is now about fifty times the theoretical value.
There is only one explanation for this phenomenon that subverts the rules of the world.
"Master!!" Kerrigan's mind raced once more, her whiskers thrashing wildly.
"I sensed it. Those creatures contained the aura of super-energy crystals, though very faint, but every single one of them had it!"
She suddenly stopped, a deep sorrow flashing in her eyes.
"But their super crystals have been contaminated, mixed with other things."
Golden light flashed in Ian's eyes as he stared at the desolate land below, having already roughly deduced the secrets of this world.
The super-energy crystal ore exists deep within the planet. The world's will discovered it, but cannot absorb it directly.
So He distributed His will among all living beings on the planet, manipulating them to mine and absorb crystal energy.
However, that energy is not suitable for ordinary life forms to absorb, so the world's will needs to "process" it.
What is it processed with? It might be something that has a transforming or filtering effect.
The world's will mix the crystal energy with it, transforming it into an absorbable purple mist that diffuses throughout the atmosphere.
The creatures breathe in the mist and absorb the mixed energy within, thus evolving rapidly.
The breathing cycle of the purple mist is the process of the world's will spreading and being reclaimed.
This explains why so many advanced superhuman beings exist on the planet.
This could also explain the disappearance of the fluctuations in the world's will; His will may have dispersed into every living being.
This hypothesis still has many flaws and needs to be verified.
Ian decided to capture a few creatures to study. "Tower Spirit, lock onto the nearest level three creature."
"Yes, target locked: the three-headed crystal-armored beast below, energy level is mid-stage level three."
Ian looked out of the crystal wall, his gaze falling on the beast gnawing on the tree roots.
It is the size of a rhinoceros, but its body is covered with a light purple crystal shell. Its three heads correspond to three elements: fire, ice, and lightning.
Each head was chewing on tree roots, completely unaware of the impending danger.
"Kerrigan, prepare to capture it. Remember, it must be alive. I want to study its energy structure."
"Yes, Master!" Kerrigan's whiskers swayed excitedly, her eyes flashing with a long-lost hunting light.
With a slight thought, Ian caused the Tower of Eternity to descend slowly, and the blind spot rune array operated at full power, converging all energy fluctuations to the extreme.
The ten-meter-high wizard tower drifted silently towards the desolate land like a falling leaf.
Below, the three-headed crystal-armored beast was surprisingly perceptive, seemingly sensing something.
It stopped eating, raised all three heads at the same time, and its six eyes warily scanned its surroundings.
The Tarling had already locked onto it, and the rules of gravity, like a spider web, were quietly spreading around it.
Ian stared at the beast, his eyes flashing with golden light.
"I want to see what secrets you're hiding inside."
