4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
Question 1536
The nightmare is over, and a new dawn has arrived.
In the destruction of the creators, the number of survivors was only about 1% of the original, and this minority group gathered under the huge wreckage of the creators and began to rebuild their kingdom.
At this time, Se had no more disputes. They were all companions who survived a major disaster. They had abandoned their previous suspicions and gathered together to live hard.
Riding on the remaining structures, they reconstructed a small part of the city and restored the water supply there to start a new life.
However, because most of the cities were destroyed, it was not easy for them to recover. Fortunately, their gods also stayed in this place and gave them many suggestions.
Under the suggestion of the gods, these survivors transformed their pumping structure and perfected more new technologies.
This allowed them to live a new life, and they soon began to increase their populations.
The reproduction process of Thur belongs to the simpler kind. After their real bodies die, the 'soul' will also split, and those fragments will find the newly born pups symbiotic and start a new round. life.
And in the case of abnormal death, these 'souls' will also split, and if the split souls can't find the symbiosis of cubs, they will live for a long time in the form of small pieces.
This form does not grow and has no intelligence. They do n’t even look like creatures ... just fragments.
If this state of fragmentation persists for too long, it will lose the ability to symbiosis and become real ... fragments.
These fragments originally stayed there and will soon be eaten by various dream creatures.
But nowadays, predatory dream creatures in this world are relatively rare, and after a large number of deaths, the fragments of their "soul" are always left in the dream, if they are in the ruins of their city and enter the dream If you do, you may be able to see the stars and dots spread across the city.
Because there are no microorganisms in the dream, these energy blocks will not be decomposed, they will continue to exist until some factor transforms it into other types of dream energy.
Of course, those who do not know this kind of thing.
They developed slowly under the guidance of the gods, and lived the most peaceful days since the long war. Although the sun is still hot, they still live very comfortably.
This is their first time ... don't care about receiving the news of the enemy's invasion, or when the earth will shake its tentacles.
They are very happy.
This happiness lasted for a period of time, and Seul slowly repaired the city. When their number was almost enough to reach the capacity of the entire city, they planned to continue to expand and restore the original territory.
To commemorate the victory of the war, they created some statues of creators, and some statues of heroes in battle.
These statues seem to be ordinary statues, but they are made of materials collected by their gods.
Thur found that as long as he touched these statues, he could see another ... strange world. Although it didn't last long, it made Thur feel very wonderful.
But there seems to be no special effects, these statues are mainly used for commemoration.
And the gods told them that sooner or later, they could use these statues to see it.
At the same time, Thur also took care of the huge wreckage of the creator. They excavated a lot of tentacles and burned them with fire.
However, this behavior makes them feel quite ... wasted.
Although they have recovered, they are still lacking in resources. They still eat the plant called Rockthorn, and the creator's huge body can provide a lot of nutrients.
According to the teachings of the gods, the creator ’s wreckage can never be eaten, and if eaten, abnormal things will happen.
However, it did not say anything unusual ...
At first, Thur was very obedient. They slowly burned the huge debris of the creator according to the instructions of the gods. They cleaned up the debris of many areas.
However, when the number of surrogates increased, they found that their resources were somewhat insufficient.
The original rockthorn field was destroyed a lot, and the food stored was not enough, and many of the thunder were hungry for a long time.
In this hungry state, Se is easily tempted.
Because when the creator ’s wreckage burns, it will release a very ... fragrant smell, which is true for these survivors.
Under the state of hunger, there are some people who ca n’t help it, they forget the teachings of the gods, they eat some cooked ... creator roots.
And those who ate the roots of the tree, they soon died.
The cause of these deaths is unknown, and their practice has caused the gods to be extremely 'angry', and the gods believe that this group of creatures began to be disloyal to it.
Although Thur continued to pray to the gods after that, the gods did not forgive them, and the gods began to ask these tethers to regularly perform some rituals for it.
This kind of ritual can be called 'sacrificial offering', which is very simple and easy to understand, that is, letting cer regularly give several ceremonies to the gods and let them commit suicide before a statue in the city, which is considered to be the sacrifice.
And Se has long worshipped their gods, so even if the gods have such requirements, they will work hard to complete it.
This kind of sacrifice has once again made Seir disagree. Although they are willing to sacrifice to the gods, when choosing who to go, they always shy away, and every Seir wants other Se to sacrifice.
Later, they slowly reached a consensus that the weak and insufficient contribution value was used to sacrifice. Initially, Se selected the older individuals as the objects of sacrifice, and then selected some years. Young individuals come to sacrifice, and in the end, they begin to take turns offering sacrifices, that is, each family must produce some cubs for sacrifice at some point.
And this thing does not seem to calm down the anger of the "god".
This deity also allowed Thur to do many other things. These things included letting them collect various special substances. Some substances need to be found far away, and some strange things were built.
Like statues, buildings, etc., but these things have no practical use.
Conquering these things consumes a lot of contingency and material resources, which makes them difficult to develop, and the gods are asking for more and more, resulting in these survivors finally only restoring the number of residents in a city, they stopped and continued Expanded.
At the same time, the gods didn't teach them any new technology, they just kept asking for it ...
This kind of thing lasted for a long time, and the belief of God in God slowly declined. Occasionally, some unbelieving gods appeared, and they tried to prevent this situation from continuing.
These survivors died later.
Their bodies had no external injuries or internal injuries, and they did not appear to have been attacked, but they died in this way ... and a statement quickly spread in the throne, it is said that the "spirit" took their souls.
So, their worship of God ... turned into fear.
But whether it is fear or worship, it does not affect their continuous completion of missions for gods, constant sacrifices, and the collection of a lot of resources to make things. Thur built many buildings. These buildings are very large, but there is no entrance. Design, so it does n’t make any sense to Se, and only consumes their power in vain.
Thur has endured to the limit, but they have no choice.
At this time, some special survivors began to act.
Most of the others are quite afraid of this god, but these special ones are different.
They feel that this deity is not omnipotent, it can be understood ...
The reason is mainly because a sel occasionally enters another world through those statues in the city, and it finds something special after entering.
Originally, they could only enter the world for a while, but this survivor didn't know the reason. It lasted for a long time after that time. It saw that there was a ... huge object in that world.
That world ... that is the dream world, that is a hazy world, and Se saw countless wonderful things and that god in it.
The god occasionally communicates with Se, and when Se arrives in the dream, the "word" from the god can be clearly heard, and it can be sure that it came from this huge object.
This object looks hard to say what it is ... it's like an aggregate of a lot of debris, its huge body covering the hazy city in the dream, like a huge 'cloth' covering the city's buildings Above.
This is their god.
In the previous short-lived dream, the surrounding environment was almost unclear, but this unexpected long-term continued to make it particularly clear.
After observing the phenomenon in the dream, Thur quickly tried to return and told the other Thur.
Other Thurs were also very surprised by this situation, but it also gave them some ideas. They believed that the gods were not actually wonderful things.
It's just like them ... creatures.
Thur's research on biology is not much, all because of the rare relationship between the creatures in their world, but although there are no large organisms in this world, there are still many microorganisms.
After discovering something to observe microbes, Thur discovered that the world has something that could be called an 'ecological environment', and many Thurs are engaged in research on microbes.
And this group of surrogates who do not believe in the gods are specialized in studying microbes. The survivor who saw the dream has summoned these elite researchers. They decide ... to study the god and figure out what it is.
