Chapter 527: The Journey of a Special World

"This world...is a very old world."

"It lasts longer than many worlds I have known before, and the creatures that live here have changed many times, and they have experienced many extinctions and rebirths, just like other worlds."

"However, there are some creatures that have not experienced extinction, they live in this world and observe this world..."

"During the period I was here, I learned the secrets of this world."

"Fleece, the oldest part of this world has been recorded, and you may want to know its secret... This secret seems to have some connection with my kind."

………………

A long, long time ago, there was such a world in the void.

Like other tumblers, it looks relatively ordinary, orbiting a star whose normal temperature is high enough for it to produce cellular life.

These primitive things grow slowly relying on the insufficient water in this world, and the ancient cellular organisms slowly evolve and combine into multicellular organisms.

These multicellular creatures have left the water they inhabited and set foot on the dry land, looking out at the wide world with undeveloped eyes full of longing for the future.

Then they all died.

Because, a huge giant shadow fell from the sky, perhaps to replenish water, perhaps to obtain some kind of nutrition, a huge creature that has been wandering in the void - the Void Bus chose this place as a rest point.

When its body appears in the sky, even if it has no desire to attack the creatures here, its actions will destroy almost all the creatures here.

Huge tentacles deep in the void bus. Pierce into the waters that lie on the surface of this world. absorbs moisture. Or the nutrients in the water...

Because of the huge demand, many waters are slowly drying up under its absorption, and those creatures that have just set foot on the earth and have not completely gotten rid of their dependence on water are almost all extinct.

This is a relatively long process.

After the Void Bus leaves, it returns after a while, it seems to use the world as a long-term rest stop, and every time it arrives, it sucks a lot of water.

This is a great threat to the cellular organisms here.

And those who survived the crisis with great difficulty have also encountered a new crisis.

The void bus comes here every time. It's not the only one who came here, it occasionally brings some other creatures, for example, multicellular creatures that I don't know which world it brought, and some non-multicellular creatures, they can adapt well here environment and multiply here.

Perhaps because this Voidbus likes to travel between tumblers in the same environment, the creatures it carries adapt quickly to the place as well.

They compete with the creatures here, and as powerful creatures who have ridden the void bus, they quickly gain the upper hand. Gradually increase your number.

The primitive cell creatures of this world are extinct, but the primitive creatures of this world. but not extinct.

Because this world has a different side from other worlds.

In addition to the "real" side, there is another side that is located in the "dream".

From the very beginning, the world was surrounded by a huge amount of energy, which was later called dream energy, and it was an energy that usually cannot be felt by living things.

However, it is closely related to real creatures.

In dream energies, some energies have 'consciousness', they have thinking, and they will reproduce and grow like real creatures.

Because they don't need water and are not affected by real environmental disasters, they are more likely to survive, these creatures are also very simple at first like primitive cellular creatures, they generally wander aimlessly, absorbing the surrounding energy.

Dream creatures cannot directly absorb the original dream energy, just like cellular creatures cannot eat sand, but dream energy can be transformed under certain conditions into other forms, usually looking like luminous objects, so that they can be absorbed.

This group of dream creatures did not know that there was such a thing as real creatures at first. Dreams were real to them, and they had no special connection with reality.

Until... in the process of continuous evolution of real creatures, the structure of 'brain' was produced.

Dream creatures can feel the information emanating from this structure, and this is the first time they have discovered the existence of real creatures.

Of course, they didn't understand at that time, they were simply attracted by the 'brain', just like moths were attracted by flames.

However, the brain is not dangerous to them, and the information of the brain seems to 'resonate' with the dream energy under certain conditions, transforming into an energy that is food for the dream creature.

Therefore, some dream creatures began to follow these brains.

They were simply trying to get food at first, but then gradually their own shape changed. They found that if they did a certain behavior, they could make the brain generate more energy, and they began to cooperate with the brain's activities.

This is the beginning of the initial symbiosis.

Real creatures with a healthy, intact brain can provide more energy to dream creatures, so dream creatures try to make them healthy.

Dream creatures can perceive changes in the surrounding environment through dream energy. Although it usually does not affect them, they find that it will threaten the 'brain'. In the process of evolution, they also gradually know how to send some signals to the brain. Inform the brain that danger is approaching.

Dream creatures also evolve, but unlike real creatures, their speed of change is relatively slow, but they also catch up with the speed of real creatures.

Of course, there are also dream creatures that do not have a relationship with the brain, they turn to attack other dream creatures to obtain energy, and the initial hunt begins like that.

As for the dream creatures that coexist with the real, there are many types of them that gradually increase their influence on the brain. From the beginning, they only sent some information, and later they even obtained the command of the entire body of the real creature.

And real creatures also have the relationship of the 'soul' of dream creatures, their brains are not developed, because they have another commander, so they don't need a big brain, so they grow a body that does not match the brain, as long as there is no ' souls', their bodies are unable to move.

And dream creatures also have the ability to receive all information from the brains of real creatures, so they can directly see the 'real world', and even they regard themselves as real creatures.

Of course, they still retain the ability to perceive dreams in order to deal with the threat of dreams.

These things happened after the first extinction.

Because the actions of the Void Bus wiped out most of the original multicellular organisms in evolution, but many of those multicellular organisms brought by the bus also have brains.

At that time, the symbiosis between dream creatures and real creatures was not so close, and they symbiotic with the new species brought by the Void Bus.

The creatures with the 'soul' behind them are not native species, but the new species brought by the Void Bus and the dream creatures here have evolved in symbiosis.

But this is not important, what matters is what happened later.

The world's extreme lack of water resources is the result of the Void Bus's continuous 'looting' for countless years.

Very few Void Buses continuously acquire resources in one place, and maybe the character of this end is a bit abnormal.

The waters on the surface have almost disappeared, leaving only endless deserts and wastelands, and the frequency of Void Buses has become less frequent.

The creatures here have received a second shock. Although most of them are not protists, they are also threatened with extinction...

Of course, the same goes for creatures in dreams.

At this time, many dream creatures rely too much on the brains of real creatures to provide nutrients, and they no longer have the ability to find food. When the real brain dies, they will die together.

In the end, under the harsh environment, only a few creatures can survive, and most of these surviving creatures are relatively small in size or have strong vitality.

And some creatures turn to hide in the dark underground depths to live, there is still water underground, but it is difficult to find.

All in all, most of the surviving creatures are small, tough, and have strong survivability, such as some creatures like plants.

There are some creatures that did not participate in this extinction, such as non-multicellular creatures, but there are not many of them, and there are dream creatures that do not live in symbiosis with the brain, and they live their usual lives.

However, some of the creatures that are threatened with extinction because of the harsh environment have survived in an alternative way.

They are also creatures with a 'soul'.

This creature had...intelligence earlier than any other.

Soul does not imply higher intelligence, and many creatures live 'primitive' lives even if they have a soul.

But creatures with souls are definitely more prone to intelligence than soulless creatures, that is, earlier, and they evolve higher intelligence much faster than normal multicellular creatures.

However, it is mainly the 'soul' that is in command, not the brain.

This creature has a considerable degree of intelligence.

And they are also creatures with personality, so they know how to use various things as weapons.

They are mainly oval in shape, have six limbs, are good at using and making things, these are their 'souls', they have such intelligence, they use this ability to survive in this environment, and slowly Slowly forming...larger groups. (To be continued...)
