4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

"This void really is still full of strange creatures."

"While the Unpredictable Lands are also interesting, the creatures may not be as diverse relatively speaking."

The world of the cognoscenti, that's what Saeryn called it now.

Because it seemed like a fun place to be, Sarine had come in, and it was now sitting on top of a tall building with Lynn's Veronica, watching the sunlight spilling down from the sky.

There was no sun in the world of the cognoscenti, perhaps because the ersh folk of this time knew very little about the sun.

But they knew something about sunlight, so the world had the strange phenomenon of sunlight existing but no sun.

This light seems to come out of the sky and shines continuously on the ground, which is why plants grow here.

There are many other strange characteristics here, and in general it is possible for it to manifest here as long as it is in the awareness of normal void creatures.

"There are almost no creatures outside of the 'rules' in the Unforeseeable Lands." Saeryn said, shielding her hand from the sunlight in the sky, "but here, yet many creatures try to avoid the rules and create their own ......"

"But are these creatures who try to create their own rules also in another kind of rule?"

"What exactly are the rules again?" Salem said, "It's something you can't normally do in the Void, but why? Is it a question that comes up often?"

"Occasionally." Lynn replied.

"I think ......" smiled Saeryn, "Ersch's goal would be to find them, to find these monsters hiding in deep space, probably for no particular reason, just to get to know them, pure curiosity! ...... Only this emotion will last forever, ah."

"But it shouldn't be for curiosity." Saying that, Saeryn pointed into the distance.

There was only a black object flying quickly over there, it looked to be the 'warship' sent in by the Mide Void earlier, but it was only a small piece, only a few dozen meters in size.

"It's probably having an ecological infection." Saeryn said, "Just like it did to Chaos Space."

Lynn said, "An ecological infection?"

"It warps the place in a way that then causes the place to give birth to its own creatures." Saeryn said, "These 'infected' voids end up giving birth to the species of ...... Mead Void."

"Probably because of the nature of chaotic space, it changes quite fast there, probably not so fast here, but what I'm more interested in knowing is how the ...... maker here would react and why it would create this place. Just for fun? Or the ecology itself? But it's pretty strong, anyway."

Indeed it was.

Lynn felt the same way, and in any case this cognitively constituted space was connected to the cognitive apocalypse that Ersch had mentioned earlier.

Its goal could be to distort the cognition of a large number of creatures, not just the Ersch folk of course, but all sorts of civilized beings.

So one of the previous civilizations created something like Star Silence, which allowed all civilizations to enter a virtual world of complete pleasure, so that they were completely closed off to the outside world.

But actually not completely closed, because many civilization species they enter the virtual way is through the stimulation of physical senses, and then the perception to the mind, in the final analysis is still through the senses in the perception of the outside world, and even if the information is directly transmitted to the brain, can also be said to use the senses in the perception of the outside world ...... as long as the brain as a sense.

Such things as senses are defined by the creatures themselves.

And 'cognitive apocalypse', it has a set of definitions as well.

Broadly speaking, it's the normal virtual things a creature perceives through the non-neural structure of the senses ...... like the hearing smell sight and other such parts of the Erschminian is even.

Although the virtual games and other things created by Erschel Min are also normal empty space, the contents of the game will not appear here, even if Erschel Min believes in his mind that the contents of the virtual game before him are real.

Devices that can play virtual games, however, will be cognitively in.

In short, Cognitive Doom probably doesn't like the fact that different creatures have different perceptions of the Void, so it wants to force them to be twisted to the exact same perception, and it stalked a lot of civilizations a long time ago.

These civilizations escaped it through closed virtual pleasures, but they all died out as a result.

In the end Cognitive Doom appeared in the Chaos ships, it seems to be because the ersh folk here didn't quite make it to the virtual game to enjoy themselves due to various influences.

Just according to the diary of this ersh folk, it seems like the cognitive apocalypse started affecting them before the ersh folk went underground en masse.

Lynn didn't notice it at the time, and Lynn wasn't monitoring every single one of the Rushmen.

It took the world that the Ersch Min and some of the more intelligent cetaceans, primates, and other creatures perceived here to form a crippled Ersch, crippled sunlight, and probably other galactic tumblers had crippled parts floating in the void around them, just not visible from the surface.

The most amazing thing is still that these remnants are maintained in a very stable state, the sunlight is not continuously shining without solar energy, there is no Earth's core but there is normal Ersch gravity.

As for how big this space is, it's unclear.

Because Lynn isn't that easy to move around in here, including Salem.

Lynn is not made of cells here, but something like a 'mass of energy', a bit like a 'body' in an unforeseen land, which can change shape but cannot divide, and the parts that divide out will disappear.

The part of the soldier that Lynn touched the entrance didn't go into this, but stayed in a certain location.

Saeryn indicated that Lynn and its body here were something like a projection of consciousness.

The ersh folk that came here, on the other hand, are really cellular structures, which means they themselves came right in.

That's what Sharlene thought was so powerful about Cognitive Doom, it distinguished and isolated Lynn and creatures like Sharlene from each other.

There was no way to completely isolate them, though, and if Lynn had to try to get in, she could generate a 'projection' here.

But the projection is very limited in what it can do, and until Lynn can just get soldiers in, it can do very little to affect the place.

And the same was true of the Mead Hollow's ship, which Sharlene thought was also a projection coming in, but bigger, and probably in some special way.

Of course that would only be confirmed by capturing it, what was going on.

Saeryn thought that one could be built to bring it down with the resources here.
