4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
3427--Joshua
"It's so vast ... it's worth watching!"
Unconsciously, there are more and more whirlwinds coming here.
This is Phoenix's platform.
Known as the 'earliest platform', there have been great changes from the beginning.
The earliest platform was a purely transparent object with a diameter of more than ten kilometers.
The current platform has been slowly expanded.
It was mainly built by the phoenix living above.
They gradually expanded the size of the platform from the edge of the original transparent platform. Of course, the part they expanded was not transparent, but composed of ... phoenix.
To be precise, there is no consciousness.
After living on the platform for a long time, the phoenix species began to slowly emerge ... differentiation.
Some of them have higher intelligence, while some have little intelligence, and the level of thinking is comparable to microorganisms.
These can be called 'primitive species'.
The higher-intelligence phoenix does not regard the original species of phoenix as their kind, but only as a usable creature.
When the number of them increased and the initial platform could not be maintained, the Phoenix assembled the original species on the platform plain and began to expand the size of the platform.
The way to assemble ... it's simple.
As long as the body of the primitive species is broken into two parts, their cross-section will exude a strong attraction.
So Phoenix cut the original seeds into pieces one by one, and began to assemble them at the edge of the platform.
The original species will not die because of being cut into pieces, unless they are completely crushed into pieces with a size of less than one millimeter, otherwise they will continue to exude 'cohesion'.
At the same time, they do not need to eat, of course they can eat, but eating is mainly for reproduction.
Even if they do not eat for a long time, they will not die ... Although the material that constitutes them will always wear out, at least ... it can last for a long time.
As a result, high-intelligence phoenixes used primitive species to rapidly expand their dwellings.
Phoenix does not necessarily need a platform to maintain life, but the Phoenix at that time did not have the ability to fly in the sky.
They must have a platform for them to hold tightly, and nothing can do nothing without catching them.
The main reason why they can expand is because more and more cyclone creatures have come here.
Before the cyclone creatures came to this platform, it was completely accidental, so the number of arrivals was very small, but recently, the number of cyclone creatures has increased.
They seem to be flying towards this platform with purpose. Whenever a whirlwind creature lands on the platform and collapses, its body will serve as food for the phoenixes, allowing the phoenixes to grow stronger.
It's not just that.
A highly intelligent phoenix can gain some knowledge by eating the core of a whirlwind creature.
Because the life cycle of whirlwind creatures will travel throughout the galaxy, they will often be close to some places where creatures gather to witness the biological situation above.
Whirlwind creatures don't do anything to creatures, but they ... actually have the ability to record.
They will record everything they 'see'.
The perception range of a giant cyclone is usually about a thousand kilometers around it.
Most of these things will be detected by it and recorded in the core.
I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional. In short, this record seems to have little meaning for the cyclone itself.
Because in their life cycle, they have little opportunity to use these 'memory'.
However, this has caused no small impact on Phoenix.
Some high-intelligence phoenixes know the things observed in the life of whirlwind creatures after eating the core.
Like a piece of rubble floating in the sky, those huge tumblers, and the life living on it ...
Phoenix developed a strong interest in the core content and began to learn from it.
They study and think about everything witnessed in the whirlwind's life and imagine the meaning of everything in it.
Actually they didn't think of anything.
Even though it is known from the record knowledge of cyclone creatures that there are many creatures on various tumblers, Phoenix does not know that they are creatures.
The phoenix at that time did not distinguish between living and non-living things, they just thought ... it was wonderful.
They think it is interesting to have so many different objects outside.
Although their intelligence is high enough, because they have always lived on this platform that has nothing but the same kind, their ... many concepts have not been formed.
Phoenix's knowledge has become rich, mainly because of certain creatures.
These creatures are the third tumbler living in this galaxy, a creature on the second satellite.
This creature is a group of individual creatures.
They are similar to most personality creatures and have the habit of worshipping gods.
The origins of individual biological beliefs are diverse, many of them imagined by themselves, but there are also 'real' ones.
Like this group of individual creatures, they worship the true "spirit"-whirlwind creature.
Because there is something on this satellite that can attract the cyclone, the cyclone will always approach the satellite when it passes nearby.
The appearance of the whirlwind had a profound impact on the creatures on this satellite. A group of individual creatures began to worship this phenomenon and took it as a faith.
This belief continued through the development of their civilization until ... the arrival of an era.
This era is similar to the "industrial era" of the Ershi people.
Because of the rapid development of technology, the belief in gods has become increasingly weak.
In addition to this era, recently, the whirlwind creatures did not know the reason for not being close to the world at all, so the developing personality creatures agreed that the past gods were all fictional.
However, some of them ... don't think so.
Although the belief of the individual creatures in the gods will fade with development, there will always be a considerable number to continue to maintain the faith.
Creatures that maintain faith form a small group, constantly studying all the records about whirlwind creatures in the past.
Just temporarily call them 'whirlwind sect'.
At the same time they also used the most cutting-edge technology ... to observe the void.
By chance, they observed ... a whirlwind creature that was moving in the void.
This immediately confirmed ... past beliefs were not false, so they began to publish their observations.
But the observations of this cyclone sect are not accepted by the public, they are considered to be fraudulent.
So ... the sect leader decided to attract a whirlwind creature here.
