Chapter 2556 The End of Help

Help, always helping them.

If everything went smoothly, the Pioneer would have successfully merged with the entire white channel and become the god who controlled the channel.

But, all went well…

This is too difficult, almost impossible.

Countless encounters, countless events, and many situations forced the pioneers to ignore restrictions and do something.

This causes their synchronization progress to fluctuate between continuous improvement and decline.

After going on for a long time, the pioneers even had the idea of ​​giving up, because they had learned many new abilities and gained more knowledge in the process.

They occasionally think... that's enough, there's no need to complete the entire synchronization.

However, the pioneers found that they could no longer turn back... they could not leave the white passage, nor could they interrupt the entire mission.

Because there was one time when they wanted to take a 'rest', so they blocked the passage using some method... making it impossible for other creatures to enter.

But the pioneers found that if they did not help the creatures for a long time, their consciousness would slowly... disappear.

That is, each member of the population will lose consciousness little by little, becoming a state that can be described as a 'walking corpse'.

At the same time, they cannot move too far away from the channel, otherwise they will enter a similar state.

The pioneers realized that this might be because they had stayed in the channel for too long... Although the synchronization was not complete, they had merged with the channel in a sense and could no longer leave the white channel.

This is also related to the pioneers' own thinking system.

Pioneer thinking system...Lin finds it very interesting because although they have personalities, they cannot think independently.

The "light of thought" they emit not only affects ordinary creatures, but also affects the pioneers themselves.

Each pioneer will continuously emit the light of thought when it is born. The light they emit will affect their peers and creatures around them, thus forming a "thinking area".

Only in this thinking area can the pioneers think, otherwise they cannot think.

At the same time, the Pioneer cannot leave the thinking area. There must be creatures infected by the light of thinking around it. If it is alone, it cannot think.

To be more specific, if there are ten Ershi people around a ten-meter-sized Pioneer, it can form a thinking zone with a maximum diameter of ten kilometers based on the positions of this group of Ershi people.

A Pioneer can only think within a range, and its way of thinking and character will depend on the character of the surrounding creatures.

In other words, if the pioneers are surrounded by Ershi people, their way of thinking and personality will become like those of the Ershi people.

This is interesting because it feels like they are tapping into the thinking system of another creature.

However, even if there are no other species around, Pioneers can create thinking areas through their own kind. As long as there are at least two Pioneers in the range, they can maintain their thinking. But if there is only one Pioneer and there are no creatures around that can be infected by their... light, then they will enter the 'instinct' state.

This state can also be described as a walking corpse.

In this state, they are unable to think, but still retain some basic abilities, such as the 'instincts' of avoiding danger and finding food.

If they encounter any creature that can be infected by the light of thought, they will end this state and become able to think.

Pioneers actually rarely enter this state, because it is almost impossible for a Pioneer to act alone.

Moreover, the light of thought can be transmitted between different creatures, which can continuously expand their thinking areas.

However, pioneers generally do not rely on other creatures, they mainly rely on their own kind to maintain their thinking.

Especially after trying to communicate with the white channel, the pioneer's thinking area expanded much larger than originally expected, and could even reach the entire channel and some places outside the channel.

Even if there are only a few pioneers, they can create a thinking area of ​​more than tens of millions of kilometers, which was simply impossible before.

But the pioneers also discovered that their thinking areas had been...bound by the channel.

As long as they don't continue to help living things, their...thinking areas will 'weaken'.

To be precise, if they do not help the creatures for too long, some pioneers will slowly enter a state of being unable to think in the channel, and the number will continue to increase, and eventually all the pioneers may become unable to think.

This state will also occur if you move too far away from the channel.

The pioneers tried many methods but could not change the situation. It can be said that they were completely trapped in this channel.

However, the pioneers also felt that this was a good thing, because it seemed to mean that they were becoming more and more... assimilated with the channel.

In short, they have no way to stop this process. Either they keep doing it, or they all become unable to think.

So the pioneer had no choice but to continue helping the creatures and gave up the idea of ​​giving up.

Of course they have been studying this channel...but their progress has been very small.

They have been looking forward to finding...a way to break the rules, but have not succeeded.

But later on, the pioneers'...actions were relatively smooth. They didn't encounter anything too special and were still steadily growing in synchronization.

But the overall speed was still very slow. They helped many creatures... and after dealing with all these creatures, they encountered a civilization that was very suitable for helping.

That is... the Void Empire.

The pioneers already had a way to detect the "help value" of a civilization at this time, and they found that the help value of the Void Empire was unprecedentedly huge.

Perhaps it is because this civilization has gathered a considerable number of species and has a large territory.

So they decided to make good use of the Void Empire.

The Heralds... helped the Empire for a long time.

This empire gave them almost no trouble, except for the matter of the survey mission.

After a long period of help, the Pioneers decided to use the last resort to consume the empire's...surplus value.

That is to destroy them completely, which can be regarded as helping most of the residents of the empire at one time and can almost consume all...help value.

But before that, they have to drive out the empire to prevent any remaining creatures from remaining in the passage.

Just after this time, the pioneer will enter the 'dormant period'.

That is, they no longer need to help any organisms, and they can slowly complete the assimilation channel process during hibernation.

This is the final stage, and once it is completed, they will be able to completely control the channel.

If...it was true if Fenghuang and Lin hadn't come in.
