Chapter 580 A Glance

After more than ten years of difficult integration, the total number of microorganisms on the earth exceeds billions of times that of human beings, and has gradually formed hundreds of independent complete consciousness communities, existing in the form of microbial pan-consciousness.

They and humans, the overlords of this planet at the macro level, seem to live in two completely different latitudes, without disturbing each other and without knowing each other's existence.

All this is because the perception of pan-conscious bodies is completely different from that of ordinary creatures. In their logic, whether humans or other animals, they only belong to the category of "habitable environment" and are a type of environment. , rather than a type of creature with the same status as itself.

As for humans, no one would have thought that the bacteria in their bodies that usually keep to themselves and are completely ignored could actually give birth to such a high-level thing as pan-consciousness.

Differences in perception lead to this situation.

However, when high-level practitioners reach the fifth level and have experienced the first complete sublimation of the body, they will gradually get rid of the shackles of the organism, and all foreign substances will either be excreted or completely assimilated into part of the body.

So in the eyes of the microbial consciousness aggregate, they changed from a "habitable environment" to an "unhabitable environment", but it was still just an environment, no different from water, air, or stone.

…

Primitive consciousness aggregates have almost no concept of movement, because their "bodies" can even span two continents, and dozens of ordinary people in different places, and the bacterial communities in their intestines, may still be under the leadership of the same will .

With the help of some mysterious quantum connection after spiritualization, they have bodies that span space.

Of course, microorganisms in different locations in the same person's body may belong to two or more wills.

There is a natural hostile relationship between different consciousnesses without exception, because they come from the same source and can form a more powerful will through mutual integration and assimilation.

If we live peacefully for hundreds of years, maybe these mutually hostile guys will be able to unify into an earth consciousness similar to the real Gaia, and compete with humans at the macro level for the true dominance of the planet. .

…

It's a pity that everything was ruined by that curious glance.

…

Time goes back to twelve years ago.

Twelve years ago, Nelu was one of thousands of microbial pan-consciousnesses on Earth.

But at that time, its name only had the word "Rin". As for its entire life, it was thinking about how to kill other pan-consciousnesses and then strengthen itself.

Due to the different worldviews, from the moment of consciousness, all the perceived "common people" around them have a hostile relationship with themselves, so in their dictionaries, there are no words for communication and cooperation at all.

There is no need to communicate. The only meaning of life is to kill. Naturally, there is no need for language. The word "Rin" is just a random code name.

There is no language, no cooperation, and no civilization. It belongs to the world of pan-consciousness, which is much crueler than the animal world. No matter what, animals of the same race are not born from birth. Just like raising Gu, all animals must be treated separately. The same kind is the enemy of life and death.

…

Before the intersection of light and darkness many, many times, it, like many other pan-consciousnesses, noticed that an extremely dangerous environment had been born in the world.

Instinct tells it that this place is definitely not suitable for survival and it should stay as far away as possible.

Of course, the most peculiar thing is that almost every time the place experiences light and darkness, the danger level increases by one point.

After hundreds of lights and darks intersected, due to the lack of the concept of movement, the survival instinct even urged them to quickly and actively give up the body approaching that side.

"Although the danger level of other dangerous environments is also increasing, the speed is definitely not that fast!"

Due to the dangerous pressure, Rin spent her precious energy thinking about other things for the first time.

Before that, it only needed to simply judge whether a place was suitable for survival and give a yes or no answer.

"Danger! Stay away! Stay away! Stay away!"

After voluntarily giving up a considerable part of his "body", the overwhelming sense of threat in Lin's heart has indeed weakened a lot, but at the same time it has brought about another more serious problem -

Because the dangerous place was the closest to it, it gave up too many bodies, attracting the attention of the hostile kin around it.

The persimmon was pinched softly, and Rin, who had lost too much strength, now became the "soft persimmon" in the eyes of everyone, and erosion came one after another from all directions.

The more he fights, the weaker he gets, and the weaker he becomes, the more new enemies he attracts to share the spoils. Unfortunately, Rin falls into an endless loop with no solution.

…

As for two peaches killing three people, sowing dissension and other operations that require IQ, it is obviously not within the scope of this group of pan-consciousnesses who don't even have language.

Rin, who had no power to resist, could only watch as his body was eaten bit by bit by his "fellow race", and more and more guys joined this gluttonous feast.

If you run away you will not necessarily die, if you don't run you will die.

In desperation, it picked up the scattered bodies in that dangerous place and "escaped" to that extremely dangerous place in a pan-conscious way.

To the pan-consciousness of this group of microorganisms, movement is almost equivalent to growth. Wherever you want to move, you use your own consciousness to assimilate the microorganisms in that place and let your body "grow" there.

…

The predators quickly eliminated all of Rin's bodies left outside the dangerous place, and watched with eager eyes the delicious meal that "escaped" to the dangerous place.

Completely dominated by their appetite, they ignored the warnings about danger in their bodies and pressed towards Rin step by step. If you take one more bite at this time, you may have more hope of victory in the cruel internal fighting in the future.

After all, they all know very well that in this survival game, there will only be one winner who survives to the end.

…

For the first time since the birth of consciousness, Rin felt an emotion called despair.

In the shroud of despair, some people will give up on themselves and give up treatment, while others, in turn, will be squeezed out of their potential ten or even dozens of times by the desperate situation.

Although Rin is not a human being, he is lucky enough to be one of the latter.

A strong sense of despair quickly lit up its wisdom, and countless quantum entanglements connecting the bacteria were activated in the life-and-death crisis.

It used most of its remaining body to separate and combine with great reluctance, and rearranged an "eye" that had no lethality except for simple functions, and actively "looked" at the area, exuding an extremely dangerous aura. The place.

…

"Um?"
