4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

They have only believed in their own theories.

So they are always in war.

They can't end on their own.

Only external force can stop this endless war.

This external force is the 'decay virus'.

A virus that somehow exists on ancient land ...

Because of curiosity and exploration of the land, a group of dark algae was infected with this virus and transmitted them to the whole ocean.

Like a plague, this virus has destructive power.

Although dark algae groups have dealt with countless viruses and archaea in the sea, they have no resistance to this virus.

These viruses will not kill them, they will only make them ... decline.

Although dark algae are not even multicellular organisms, they have an extremely developed nervous system, which is why they can make ... a lot of complex thinking.

But under the infection of this virus, their nervous system began to decline rapidly.

Their nervous system has evolved from the reverse, from complex to simpler and more primitive.

At first, Dark Algae noticed its own decline, and then slowly ... not even enough intelligence to notice that it has declined.

Many dark algae groups noticed the decline of other groups. They did not know the reason at first. They thought it was a good opportunity to attack immediately. As a result, they were also infected ... and entered the stage of decline.

Some dark algae that know the reason try to stay away from all the same species and find ways to fight against the virus and study these viruses.

And they also created a theory to analyze the characteristics of these viruses and how they appeared.

Many dark algae that are not infected are trying to study the virus, but the war at this time has not stopped.

Because when uninfected groups of dark algae encounter each other, they often feel that the other party's theory of the virus is wrong.

Then the two groups will fight, and each group thinks that its theory is correct, so that they can deal with the virus.

They had no idea of ​​cooperation ... never.

At the moment this species was born, there seemed to be no time for peace between different consciousnesses.

Even if there are some hard-to-have dark algae in history, they want to use their own theories to persuade the same kind, rather than complement each other's mistakes.

As a result, these small numbers survived, and the uninfected groups also perished in the battle.

As for those infected groups ... are still alive.

Without enough intelligence to think and imagine various theories, of course, there will be no more battles.

The complex neural structure degenerates into simple ganglia, and the large dark algae community cannot maintain the previous group consciousness, and slowly disappears.

Only a few dark algae survived.

These are the ones that stay in the 'biological weapons' they make.

Many dark algae have ever produced various biological weapons. These creatures are generally made with suitable fungi, and the dark algae stay in the center to act as a commander.

After their nerves began to decline, these dark algae survived because of their weapons, and their nerves did not completely disappear. They could still send some simple commands to direct biological weapons to find food.

As a result, they survived, and in their long lives, the dark algae had been mixed with the biological weapons they carried, and became ... the same species.

According to speculation, these biological weapons later became the oldest ... multicellular organisms with neural structures.

Then slowly evolved into some later creatures on Ershi, such as ... octopus.

There are now many legends of the Ershi people who have said that: in ancient times, the "brain" was a parasite of the "body", slowly took control of the body, and finally evolved into a creature together.

However, this is just speculation, and the actual situation has not been recorded.

After all, after the recession, there is no dark algae to keep the wisdom to live on Ershi.

So the story of Dark Algae is over?

It is not over.

Although they did not continue to live on Ershi, they survived elsewhere.

The dark algae did not completely die out. During the recession, some groups found a way out to escape the virus and started to travel around the world.

In order to find a safe place, there is no belligerent kind and no virus area.

Dark algae usually live in waters with a depth of more than 100 meters, so this group of dark algae began to move into deep water, trying to find places where there is no danger.

They believe in some theories and legends they have imagined. They believe that there must be a place suitable for their lives.

They have gone to deep oceans during their search, and they have created some 'armor' to allow them to access various environments that are not suitable for them.

Finally, they found light in the deep sea ...

Through that light, they went to a mysterious place, this place ... also like an ocean, but nothing.

To be precise, there is no living thing ... no other kind, no common archaea, it is an empty place.

But there are many nutrients that can make them live for a long, long time.

They thought that they had realized their idea, so they stayed here.

They began to imagine, just like before, these dark algae continued their previous imagination after idle.

Give theory to the phenomena of this new world, think about the meaning of life, and think deeply about the militant ... characteristics of their species.

This place seems to have infinite space and time, give them unlimited imagination.

But this time they are not just imagination.

For some ideas, they will start to research and experiment, and begin to make tools ... and experiment with various things.

In this world without war, they are carrying out countless imaginations and experiments.

Although there were no other creatures, some experiments could not be completed, so they took ... to conduct the experiment by themselves.

But this was a wrong decision.

After all, dark algae is a species that will 'split consciousness'.

If a group is divided into two halves, their consciousness will also be divided into two halves.

At first it may be nothing, because their theories are the same and they can live together peacefully for a while.

But after a long time, the theoretical thinking of these two consciousnesses will deviate, and then they will blame each other's mistakes, and ...

Fight again.

Even if they were originally a difficult group, they will produce different consciousness after splitting.

Some of the experiments they did ... led to the separation of groups.

It also led to the emergence of new consciousness.

It's just that this war was fought in a very interesting environment.

A world with easy access to the 'rules'.
