Chapter 2422 Life in Ancient Times

This creature did not initially resemble a 'Phoenix'.

They are just some irregularly shaped particle aggregates moving on the original platform.

This lasted for a long time.

As the earliest phoenixes, they have almost no consciousness.

They are just some very simple, moving particles.

But they still have some...ideas, which is to collect as much dust as possible around them and make themselves bigger.

If there is no dust, they will enter a state similar to sleep, waiting for dust to appear.

Unlike cellular organisms that like to devour each other, these early phoenixes... never harm their own kind.

It is unclear why they do not kill other species for dust.

But because of this, their numbers have continued to increase.

The source of nutrients for the early Phoenixes were the whirlwinds in the void. There would always be a few whirlwinds slowly approaching the stars, and among these whirlwinds even fewer individuals would come to the platform.

These whirlwinds that reach the platform will eventually dissipate, leaving behind large amounts of dust for the early Phoenixes to absorb.

At the same time, the arrival of the tornado often blows many phoenixes off the platform, letting them drift into the endless void.

Because of this, the Phoenix on the platform is never full.

Otherwise, they may become hostile to their own kind if they are overcrowded.

This is the life they have always lived.

The earliest phoenixes may have had the same level of intelligence as microorganisms in cellular organisms. Perhaps if nothing unexpected happened, these early phoenixes would have continued to live in this simple way.

While these phoenixes were still living a very primitive life, civilization had already been born in the surrounding galaxies.

There are quite a few civilizations of individual creatures, because individual creatures have a higher chance of giving rise to civilizations than other species.

But the galaxy's most famous... and most powerful civilization isn't an individual.

They are a kind of organisms that are somewhat similar to 'dark algae'.

It can be called...Green Mist Mountain.

This creature was born on the fifth tumbler in the galaxy, a world with a diameter of nearly 20,000 kilometers. There are also many species here, but no creature is larger than the ruler of this world.

They are generally over a kilometer high and their shapes are very similar to... volcanoes.

These huge creatures stand in every corner of the world. They can be found in any environment, and there are many creatures living around them.

Like volcanoes, they often spew violent green mist from the 'top of the mountain'.

Hence they were given the name 'Green Mist Mountains'.

But the green mist coming out from the top of the mountain is not just dust particles or something, but their own...nervous system.

Their nervous system is a loose granular substance that can erupt from the mountain at any time and spread into the surrounding environment.

When the Green Mist Mountain erupts, a large area around it will be covered by this thick green fog.

This also means that Green Mist Mountain is observing... or sensing the environment in the thick fog.

While sensing, Green Mist Mountain itself was also quickly... counting and calculating.

They count the number of all species within their range, calculate changes in the environment, and thus work out what will happen next.

For example, which species are going to become extinct, whether earthquakes will occur, how the environment will change in the future, etc.

Relying on the dense neural fog, Green Mist Mountain can calculate the environmental changes in the next ten years or so.

After multiple calculations and confirmation that there are no errors, they will recycle the green mist.

All the green mist will be sucked back by the top of the mountain.

Although there will be some losses along the way, the impact is not that great.

This is how Green Mist Mountain lives.

Although they know everything, in terms of their "eating habits", they are the lowest species.

Because Green Mist Mountain itself obtains nutrients by absorbing the remains of dead organisms around it, similar to plants, and is considered a decomposer at the bottom of the species.

But they are not like plants that passively accept information, but actively acquire all information.

This is also the reason why they keep spraying green mist and calculating everything around them. They need to obtain all the information to make their future lives go smoothly.

After the calculation, Green Mist Mountain will start to move and will also do some things to ensure that it can obtain enough nutrients to continue to survive in the next period of time and eliminate all factors that are unfavorable to itself.

When the time they calculated is almost up, they will spray out green mist again, recalculate the surrounding environment... and continue the next process.

All of this is just to... survive.

However, over the long years...some Green Mist Mountains began to pay attention to the situation around them.
