The reason why Shirahoshi was lost in the end may be very simple.

It's because if you stay in the passage for too long, you will lose your thinking ability, and of course you will also lose your past memories.

Shirahoshi said that he was about to embark on a journey to an unforeseen place... and then got lost halfway through.

The sand rays don't know where the white star went, but they think it may have gone somewhere and then circled back.

The sand ray believes that there is not only one entrance and exit from the passage to the road back home, but there should be multiple entrances and exits.

This is also the reason why the 'cloth piece' can go to the normal void.

After Bai Xing forgot what happened before and returned to his hometown, he continued to hunt there... everywhere.

Bai Xing still remembers some things from the past, such as being petrified if he doesn't hunt for a long time, and he also remembers... some fighting skills from the past.

In short, it is still much stronger than other manufactured bodies.

So it killed all the manufacturing bodies.

But that led to some small problems, that is... I don't know why at that time, no manufactured bodies appeared anymore.

The sand ray thinks it may be that the thin lines outside have stopped releasing organisms into the space for some reason.

The remaining White Star had to hunt down the... indigenous people here, that is, the non-manufactured creatures.

The indigenous people are actually much more difficult to deal with than the manufactured ones.

Things like Aurora are relatively easy to deal with... of course, relatively speaking, it is easy to get injured when fighting them.

If you are injured, you must use the energy you have eaten before to repair the wound.

Although it is easy to catch things like extinguished phoenixes, the 'body' of the phoenix itself is made of normal void matter, and eating them will not alleviate the petrification.

Although White Star had been able to sustain itself for a long time using the manufactured bodies it had hunted before, it was unable to sustain itself in the end.

Shirahoshi also later became petrified because he couldn't hunt enough prey...

Of course, Bai Xing did not find the underground passage in the end and never encountered the fusion body again.

This is also because the fusion body blocked the surface of the earth. Originally, there was actually a big hole in the ground leading to the underground.

The fusion body blocked this big hole, and not only blocked it, but also made it exactly the same as the surface environment. It is impossible to tell that there is any underground cave here.

Therefore, Shirahoshi never found this place again.

Next... no manufactured body appeared, and the road back home returned to its previous calm state.

The fusion body itself will not be petrified, but it also stays underground and does not move much because it has no prey.

Although the road back home was peaceful, the passage was... not so peaceful.

The passage was originally very lively, with a large number of creatures and floating artifacts from unforeseen places gathered here.

At some point, the sand ray noticed that all the unforeseen creatures suddenly left.

From that moment on, they began to flee this place in large numbers, all moving in the direction from which they came.

Finally, they all disappeared.

Then, near the entrance to this passage and the way back home, there were only a lot of floating creatures left.

The sand rays were curious about this phenomenon, and they began to conduct various investigations.

The sand ray initially thought it was caused by thin lines from the outside.

Because creatures from unforeseen places appeared, they originally thought they were attracted by signals from outside, but now it must be signals from outside that drive them away.

Although they didn't feel any signal this time.

So the sand ray began to investigate the outside with all its strength.

The sand rays themselves can use some systems of the manufacturing tower, so they also discovered the situation outside through the manufacturing tower...

Only then did they notice that the manufacturing tower could not only detect the inside of the space, but also the conditions outside.

This is also the first time that the sand ray directly 'sees' the normal void outside.

The first thing they notice is the world of thin lines.

The world of thin threads was originally located near the exit of the way back home. The sand ray discovered that the thin threads had transported many... creatures from all over the void.

And crowd them all near the exit.

Although the sand ray does not understand creatures like thin threads at all, let alone language, it cannot even tell which thing is alive in the world of thin threads.

But the sand ray still understands one thing...that is, the thin line seems to be unable to send creatures into this space.

The road back home was closed for some reason, and the sand ray didn't know the reason.

However, after the sand rays discovered that the manufacturing tower could sense the outside environment, they began to control the manufacturing tower...detecting the creatures outside and making some fabrications.

Many of the creatures gathered in the thin line were species that the sand ray recognized, so the sand ray made some fabricated bodies according to them, and allowed the fabricated bodies to continue to appear in the space.

Also because the fusion body entered a deep sleep during this period, these manufactured bodies will not be attacked by the fusion body.

Having said that, almost all manufactured objects cannot find underground passages.

But a small number of creatures still found another way to the underground passage.

They were actually newly dug out by a group of extinguished phoenixes, because the fusion body was also sleeping, so a small number of fabricated bodies arrived at the passage again.

At this time, the sand ray also began to truly investigate...the reason why the creature left.

Because they find that the departure of creatures from unforeseen places seems to have nothing to do with thin lines.

Later during the investigation, Sand Ray discovered this.

For so long, the distance in the void has been lengthening.

It has grown to a somewhat abnormal level now, and if it continues like this, the entire passage may collapse.

The sand rays who discovered this felt...frightened.

Of course this fear is spontaneous.

Some sand rays feel that they can enter the way back home and then live a normal life in the void.

Some want to go somewhere unforeseen, although that's almost impossible.

Anyway, after that, many sand rays left one after another.

Only a few are left and continue to observe.

Including this one communicated by Lin.

The few remaining ones mainly want to continue observing.

They recently discovered that...the space entrance and exit of the way back home has once again opened in the world of thin lines.

This seems to be related to a... stone in the Thin Line World.

Then the thin line sends various creatures inside.

But by now, the passage has almost collapsed and been severed.

All the sand rays left the spot...only the last few remained.

Of course it was planning to leave now, but since it discovered that Lin was here, it still carried out its 'duties'.
