4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

"This world ... is a very old world."

"It lasts longer than many worlds I have known before, and the living creatures have changed many times. They have experienced many extinctions and rebirths, just like other worlds."

"However, some creatures have not experienced extinction. They live in this world and observe this world ..."

"I have learned the secrets of this world during this period here."

"Fleece, the oldest part of this world is recorded, you may wonder about its secret ... this secret seems to have a certain connection with my kind."

………………

A long time ago, there was such a world in the void.

Like other tumblers, it looks more ordinary. It revolves around a star, and the normal temperature above it is enough for it to produce cellular organisms.

Some primitive life was born in this world.

These primitives depend on the insufficient water in this world to grow slowly. The ancient cell organisms slowly evolved into a multicellular organism.

These multicellular creatures left the water source in which they lived, set foot on the dry earth, and looked at the vast world with their eyes that had not yet evolved, their eyes full of longing for the future.

Then they were all dead.

Because, a huge giant shadow came down from the sky, maybe to replenish water, or maybe to get some nutrients, a huge creature that has been wandering in the void-the void bus chose this place as a rest point.

When its body appears in the sky, even if it does not have the desire to attack the creatures here, its behavior will almost completely destroy the creatures here.

The huge tentacles in the depths of the void bus penetrate into the waters located on the surface of this world, absorbing moisture, or the nutrients in the water ...

Because of the huge demand, many waters slowly dry up under its absorption, and those who have just set foot on the ground and have not completely got rid of their dependence on water are almost completely extinct.

This is a relatively long process.

After the void bus leaves, it will come back again after a while. It seems to use the world as a long-term rest stop, and every time it comes, it will absorb a lot of water.

This is a great threat to the cell organisms here.

And those who survived the crisis finally encountered a new crisis.

Every time the Void Bus comes here, it is not just itself. It occasionally brings some other creatures, for example, I do n’t know in which world the multicellular creatures are brought, and there are some non-multicellular creatures. , They can adapt well to the environment here and multiply here.

Maybe it's because this void bus likes to travel between tumblers in the same environment, so the creatures it carries can quickly adapt to this place.

They competed with the creatures here, and as powerful creatures who had boarded the void bus, they quickly took advantage and slowly increased their numbers.

The primitive cell organisms of this world are extinct, but the primitive organisms of this world are not extinct.

Because this world has a different aspect from other worlds.

In addition to being on the side of the "real", there is another side in the "dream".

From the beginning, this world was surrounded by huge energy. This energy was later called dream energy. It is an energy that cannot be felt by ordinary creatures.

However, it is closely related to real creatures.

In dream energy, some energy has 'consciousness', they have thinking, and they will multiply and grow like real creatures.

Because they do n’t need water and are not affected by real environmental disasters, they are easier to live. These creatures were also very simple at first as primitive cell creatures. They generally wandered without destination and absorbed the surrounding energy.

Dream creatures cannot directly absorb the original dream energy, just like cell creatures cannot eat sand, but under certain conditions, dream energy will transform and change into other forms, usually looking like luminous objects, so that they can be absorbed.

This group of dream creatures did not know that there were real creatures at first. Dreams were real to them, and they had no special connection with reality.

Until ... in the course of continuous evolution of real creatures, the structure of 'brain' was produced.

Dream creatures can feel the information emanating from this structure, and this is the first time they have discovered the existence of a real creature.

Of course, they didn't understand at that time, they were simply attracted by the "brain", just like moths were attracted by the flames.

However, the brain is not dangerous for them, and the information of the brain under certain circumstances seems to be able to 'resonate' with the dream energy, transforming an energy that is food for the dream creature.

Therefore, some dream creatures began to follow these brains.

At first, they just tried to obtain food, but then slowly their own shape also changed. If they found that they were doing something, they could make the brain produce more energy, and they began to cooperate with the activities of the brain.

This is the beginning of the initial symbiosis.

If the real creature has a healthy and complete brain, it can provide more energy to the dream creature, so the dream creature tries to make them healthy.

Dream creatures can perceive changes in the surrounding environment through dream energy. Although it usually does not affect them, they find that they will threaten the "brain". In the process of evolution, they slowly understand how to send some signals to the brain. Tell the brain that it is dangerous to approach.

Dream creatures will also evolve, but unlike real creatures, they change at a slower rate, but they also catch up with the speed at which real creatures change.

Of course, there are also dream creatures that do not have a relationship with the brain. Instead, they attack other dream creatures to obtain energy, and the initial hunting begins.

There are many types of dream creatures that coexist with real ones. They slowly increase their influence on the brain. From the beginning, they just sent some information, and later even obtained the command of the entire body of the real creature.

And real creatures also have a brain because of the "soul" relationship of dream creatures. Because they have another commander, they don't need much brain, so they grow a body that does not match the brain, as long as there is no ' Souls', their bodies are difficult to move.

And dream creatures also have the ability to receive all information from the brains of real creatures, so they can directly see the 'real world', and even they regard themselves as real creatures.

Of course, they still retain the ability to perceive dreams, so that they can cope with the threats of dreams.

These things happened after the first extinction.

Because the action of the Nether Bus wiped out most of the evolutionary native multicellular organisms, but the multicellular organisms brought by the bus are also quite brainy.

At the time, the symbiosis of dream creatures and real creatures was not so close, they symbiotic with the new species brought by the void bus.

The creatures that basically have a "soul" behind them are not native species, but new species brought by the void bus and the symbiotic evolution of the dream creatures here.

But this is not important, what matters is what happened later.

The extreme lack of water resources in this world is the result of the Null Bus continually 'looting' for countless years.

Few Void buses will continuously obtain the resources of a place, and this personality may be a bit abnormal.

The surface waters have almost disappeared, leaving only endless deserts and wasteland, and the frequency of the void bus has become relatively less.

The creatures here have suffered a second impact. Although most of them are not protists, they are also threatened by the extinction of species ...

Of course, so are the creatures in the dream.

At this time, many dream creatures rely too much on the brains of real creatures to provide nutrients, and they have no ability to find food. When the real brain dies, they will die together.

Finally, under the harsh environment, only a few creatures can survive, and most of these survived creatures are relatively small or have strong vitality.

Some creatures, instead of hiding deep into the dark underground, still have water, but it is difficult to find.

All in all, most of the living creatures are small and tough, and have strong survivability, such as some creatures like plants.

There are some creatures that did not participate in this extinction, such as non-multicellular creatures, but they are not many in number, and there are dream creatures that do not coexist with the brain.

However, some of the creatures in danger of extinction due to the harsh environment survived in alternative ways.

They are also a creature with a 'soul'.

This creature had ... intellect earlier than any other creature.

Soul does not mean higher intelligence. Many creatures live a primitive life even if they have souls.

But creatures with souls will certainly be more prone to intelligence than creatures without souls, that is, they produce intelligence earlier, and they have evolved higher intelligence much faster than normal multicellular creatures.

However, it is mainly the 'soul' that commands, not the brain.

This creature has a considerable degree of intelligence.

And they are also individual creatures, so they know how to use various things as weapons.

Their body shape is mainly oval, with six limbs, and they are good at using and making things. These are their "souls". They have such intelligence. They use this ability to survive in this environment and are slow Slowly formed ... a larger community.
