4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

Chapter 4662 - Early Changes

The creatures observed at ...... changed quite a bit over the long period of time.

They started out as creatures that spent long periods of time being active, that did not eat or reproduce, and that lived only a few brief moments and then died.

Slowly ...... these creatures became more complex.

Mostly, they began to move for longer periods of time.

Some creatures became able to store more 'energy', an energy particle that creatures later called an 'active thing', which is something that can move in the stillness of the void. The initial

In fact, it found that there were many things that could move at rest, and not just the original 'energy', but the first creatures were collecting 'energy'.

As time went on, they began to be able to collect more and more of the 'moving things'.

After a long period of time, these creatures have emerged as the kinds of creatures that can remain active for long periods of time.

By continually collecting things that keep them active, they keep themselves from going into stasis.

The life of these creatures is generally a life of constant collecting until finally they are unable to collect the last of the things that keep them active ...... their time of death has come.

At first they do not attack each other, but gradually some of them start to attack other creatures in order to get what they have to move.

When they started attacking each other, the 'evolution' of these creatures became much faster than before.

Most of the attacks started out as simple, but some complex ways emerged.

Some creatures would stop their prey's activity by deactivating it, while others would create fake ones that other creatures would mistake for the real thing and eat to get rid of the real thing stored in their bodies.

Other creatures create a 'field' of their own, which allows them to create an area of activity of a certain size within which all creatures can move freely.

Usually the field attracts many visitors, and the creatures that create the field, ......, will harvest them at the right time.

These creatures may be early space creatures.

Of course, these creatures gradually feed, i.e., they dismantle other creatures to repair themselves, instead of just acquiring moving things.

Later on, these creatures became more and more complex, and basically developed around 'resting', so it is interesting to observe .......

The granular organisms have never been able to understand how they were born and how they evolved, it can only observe the internal structure of some of them, and even if it does, many of them can't figure it out, so it's hard to understand how they developed.

In short, the process of their development ...... is very long.

After the long years passed, it discovered intelligent organisms.

This group of intelligent creatures appeared on the tumbler it was observing ...... Actually, the tumbler was no longer a tumbler at that time.

It had split into many pieces, which is what happens when all kinds of creatures develop.

This group of intelligent creatures was born on a floating boulder, and the way they lived ...... was quite unique.

They are also the first creatures that have been observed to produce offspring.

They set up their villages and towns on the ground, collecting the movable material in various ways to maintain their lives, while the inhabitants of the lower levels surrendered a portion of the movable material to the ruler.

The ruler uses this material to construct a large enough 'field of activity', and the inhabitants place their offspring in this field for them to grow.

The way they construct their offspring is not by reproduction, but by capturing a small animal and draining it of its moving matter, then transforming it into a statue like their own, and finally putting a small part of their own moving matter into the statue they have created.

The next step is to put this thing into the field of activity, and it will move and slowly grow into the same creature as the one you created.

This group of intelligent beings is always in a civil war due to their particular reproduction patterns.

Since each inhabitant tries to produce more offspring, and their own stock of active materials is always limited, they resort to various methods to obtain more active materials and produce more offspring.

When an individual has too many offspring, it attracts the unwanted attention of other individuals, which leads to siege.

Even so, they are constantly trying to find ways to create more offspring, or to raise them not in the common field of activity, but in the field created by wild animals.

In short, each individual in the group wants to create more offspring, but at the same time, they don't like the behavior of other offspring, and they don't even like their own offspring to create offspring, they just like to be surrounded by their own first generation.

Once they see more offspring of their own kind around them, they become more and more uncomfortable and eventually attack it.

Although these creatures began to gather a group, it was difficult for them to grow because of this characteristic.

Soon, the group of creatures collapsed.

Rather than die out, however, they switched to another way of life and began trying to create ...... offspring that were less intelligent and could not produce offspring.

In fact, the offspring they created were no longer offspring, but rather 'servants'.

By creating large numbers of these servants, they attacked their own kind, and because each one did so, the place where they lived went to war.

This was probably the first major war that the granular creatures had ever seen.

These intelligent creatures fought for a long time, until they died one by one, and finally died out completely.

After that, the granules saw more and more creatures being born.

But the intelligent creatures here rarely formed large groups, preferring to live alone.

Creatures that create their own 'fields', for example, or are able to construct offspring, have a higher chance of having higher intelligence.

They do not gather together to develop, but constantly construct and strengthen their own fields.

And they research and create various 'servants' to grow their ...... power.

The granular creatures found that many of them began by making offspring themselves, that is, individuals exactly like themselves.

Slowly, however, these creatures changed their ways and tried to create all sorts of things that were far less intelligent than themselves, but very loyal to themselves.

In the earliest times, it seems that Midgard was one of these creatures.
