Chapter 2794 Special Worship
"When people first came to power, their nature was random."
“There is no order, no rules.”
“That’s the root of everything.”
"Everything in the void is formed randomly."
"Rules of accidental combination, materials of accidental composition..."
………………
This is... in the void.
Lin's "velvet claws" were still floating above the ruins of the giant bridge city.
Not long ago, Lin caught all the fungus bricks she could find in the underground streets and brought them into the Velvet Claw.
Here, Lin could clearly detect that the "consciousness" of the faith collective would be continuously transmitted between the fungus bricks.
It is actually mainly transmitted through the silk threads made by the fungus bricks.
Because these fungus bricks produce a large number of silk threads, the silk threads extending from them are actually connected to other fungus bricks.
This connection allows them to share nutrients, and the more nutritious mushroom bricks will transfer nutrients to those that are insufficiently nutritious.
The consciousness of the collective is transmitted through these interconnected threads.
The transmission speed is very fast... about the same as light.
But Lin could detect that this was not teleportation, it was moving completely along the silk thread.
Lin is currently trying to find a way to stop it from moving, that is... to trap it in a fungus brick and then 'extract' it.
However, the research on this special transmission energy of collective consciousness is still very shallow... There are some difficulties in achieving this.
But as long as it stays inside these fungal bricks and doesn't leave, Lin will be able to figure it out sooner or later.
Meanwhile, Lin continued to investigate the interior of the giant bridge.
Currently, the deepest level reached by Lin’s troops is the fifteenth floor.
There are no silk threads spreading from the fungus bricks here, because this is not the area where the fungus bricks live.
However, Lin saw some other interesting things here. Although she did not see any living creatures, there were many recording devices left by the creatures.
The main residents here are still the creatures that Lin had guessed before, more than three meters in size... All passages and rooms are designed based on this size.
There should be no residents whose size is larger than this standard...at least Lin hasn't found any yet.
The mushroom bricks themselves are also very small in size. Although they are now more than ten meters long, they were originally less than one meter long.
The main reason they are so big is that they are constantly absorbing nutrients.
They are a kind of creatures that can continue to grow as long as there are enough nutrients. When their consciousness was still clear... they would pay attention to not letting their body size get too large, but now they have no control at all.
Among the residents on the fifteenth floor, Lin found many...recording tools left behind by them.
Their way of communication is the same as that of the 'blood worms', so they should be the same species.
These recording tools themselves are very similar to...Ershimin’s bread maker.
They can be found in many rooms on the fifteenth floor, and their purpose is to squeeze out some of the blood-like viscous substances stored inside from the top.
Through different operations, "blood" of different shapes can be squeezed out. The shapes of the blood can be observed to get some information contained therein.
Because Lin has learned a lot about the language of blood earthworms, so... she can also obtain a lot of information from these machines.
These machines basically record a series of... things.
There is something about the beliefs of this group of creatures.
They...believe in randomness.
In almost all machines, this information is stored, a cult of 'randomness'.
They believe that everything in the void is disordered and is... put together by chance.
Countless coincidences have formed the void of today and formed each different life.
Their essence is chaos and disorder.
This is mainly the basic concept of this random sect.
Most machines were promoting this idea, and probably at that time they were spreading this 'random belief' through such machines.
But what good is faith in randomness? In itself, it has no good.
But it has a special function, which is... to resist unification.
Lin was able to discover a lot of relevant information by investigating these machines. These machines, which are over three meters tall and are the main residents here, had also been "polluted" by the Uni-President.
There were many believers with unified faith in their group at that time. The initial manifestation of unified faith was mainly consistent actions and perfect order. Each individual cooperated perfectly with each other. The cooperation of countless individuals made them look like a unified huge consciousness.
And there are also some individuals among them who think that unity of faith is not a good thing.
Then they began to preach the opposite of unity...disorder.
This feeling is quite interesting.
Maybe they discovered it by accident. The more you believe in randomness, the more you will doubt the unified belief.
When a biological individual feels that life is produced by randomness and coincidence, and order is also built on chance...
It will create distrust of unity.
A group of creatures who didn't like uniformity from the beginning discovered this and immediately started promoting randomness everywhere.
In fact, they don't need to promote the benefits of believing in randomness.
It is enough for them to convince other individuals that... things are made up of random things.
Creatures who have such thoughts will slowly drift away from unified faith.
So, they began to spread propaganda constantly, mainly using their latest research at the time to show that everything in the void was generated by chance.
Lin thought this was amazing. She believed that there should actually be no conflict between randomness and the unity of faith.
However, as long as you believe in random creatures, you seem to be free from the influence of the collective belief system.
It can be seen from the machine's records that at that time they mainly relied on this method to restore a large number of unified believers to normal.
Saved the entire population from extinction in unity.
After all, all creatures that have unified their beliefs will commit mass suicide in the end, and there are no exceptions as far as we know.
The creatures here don't know this, but some individuals think that unified belief is not a good thing.
Then their population did not perish under unification.
Instead, it perished due to randomness.
This seems like another… curious development.
After they initially caused a large number of believers to leave the unity, the propaganda about randomness stopped there.
They were not promoting any beliefs at the time, they were just promoting the 'fact' that things were randomly composed.
But then there was a group...
They take randomness as faith.
They worship disorder, a life without rules, where they can do anything they want.
This may be the main reason for the extinction of the residents here.
