Like human civilization, the Eris civilization originated from the starry sky of a forerunner of the Ant Empire.

In the long past, when civilization was already unsearchable, the one who was called a prophet by later generations, a little ant in a supply station, was inexplicably attracted, and in the repetitive work day after day, stopped his pace and looked up at the sky.

For ants, the act of "looking up" is actually redundant, their eyesight is extremely poor, and their daily communication relies on smells and pheromones, but despite this, at that moment, the ant looked up and saw a dark and bright starry sky that was different from the ceiling of the building.

It took a long time for the Eris civilization to finally realize that the starry sky was actually just a curtain of hypocrisy, but no one could deny the impact of the "prophet's" actions on the Eris civilization.

Curiosity and the unknown, emotions like this first appeared in the small mind of this creature that has survived from the old times to the present day.

What's in the stars, what's that sparkling?

This confusion led to the Prophet's continuous observation of the starry sky, which gradually discovered the difference between day and night, and even relied on simple records to arrive at the concept of "date", where the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

Soon, three days and nights passed on the night when the Prophet looked up at the stars, a faction led by the Prophet appeared, and the Queen Ant did not care about these at first, because it held the power of the ant's reproduction, and the leisure actions of these laborers did not affect its dominance.

But soon, a bottom-up ideological revolution took place among the ants, and the worker ants were not satisfied with just a little food after a long work, and they learned through the prophet that the world was so vast that even if the supply depot where the ants had lived for hundreds of generations was only a drop in the ocean.

A strong curiosity that drives them to explore? But the heavy work leaves the ants with little room to do these things.

As a result, some ants have studied the shortest transport routes, and even started to make tools to facilitate handling.

Ants gradually form an instinct outside of it? Logic-based thinking.

Their bodies have changed as a result.

The strength of the ant's body is already very high? But because of the small size? So it's hard to bear the huge weight, but these ants have changed because of some opportunity, and their bodies have become much stronger? By making tools? Dexterous and delicate movements are also obtained.

Just when everything was booming and the development of the ants was getting better and better, the queen ant, who had been ignoring it before, had a sense of threat.

What does it think? The "unprofessional" behavior of these ants will cause the entire colony to no longer obey their commands? And their evolution has terrified the queen ant? Is this from an insect? Instinctive? The most primitive fear? Fear of the unknown.

The queen used sweet pheromones to seduce the prophet, and for the prophet who was still an ant, the pheromones that exuded a desire to mate were too much to resist, and he soon fell into the queen's trap.

To this? The Ant Empire began a trial against the Prophet and his followers.

Although these evolved ants are more physical? But under the siege of pheromone influences and a much larger number of common worker ants? Most of the evolved ants have been caught? On this day, a week after the night when the Prophet looked up at the stars, the Ant Empire held a trial? A trial against the Prophet and his followers.

In the gravel courtroom, the queen ant moved her bloated body to look at the dying Prophet with six broken legs, and wanted all the ants to see the fate of those who violated her.

"Do you know what crime you've committed?"

The queen's antennae moved slightly, emitting such a questioning smell.

At this time, the dying prophet, its black tentacles moved slightly, and with a faint but sure force, it conveyed its thoughts.

"No, I don't think I'm guilty."

It said that the pheromones were quickly transmitted to every ant present.

"We've lived here for hundreds of generations, and even the queen ant has changed for an unknown number of years, but no one has ever wanted to leave to explore the world outside of this area, we are constantly fighting with our companions every day for a little food and water, but no one has ever thought that the outside world is so vast that we can work together and explore together."

The prophet's pheromones circulated among the ants, but the ants who only knew how to work, eat, and sleep were numb and confused, for them the outside world was too far away, and the life in front of them was more important than that.

"But what's the point of exploring those places?"

The queen seemed to have anticipated the prophet's speech, looked at the numb ants, and asked the prophet.

"For the rest of your life, you can't even get out of this human habitation, all the exploration will only end when you die, and what these explorations can make our race, whether we are the stars or the sun above our heads, has no impact on the survival of our race, and it makes no sense for you to spend time and experience exploring those things that are out of reach!"

For most ants, being alive is the biggest thing, and their little minds can't figure out what the outside world is important, and why they should leave their warm homes and go to the unknown world when they can survive on the food from the supply station.

In the midst of silence, the Prophet spoke.

Its tentacles moved, and with the last of its strength, it sent a message.

"Ladies and gentlemen, when you are not working, please look up at this starry sky, I think there is no one who will not be curious and moved when gazing at this endless starry sky, our race has lasted for so many generations, and it is not just for us to curl up in this barren land."

"If the pursuit of knowledge, the starry sky, and the exploration of the unknown is a sin, then I am indeed guilty."

The Prophet was soon put to death by the Queen Ant, along with hundreds of its followers.

The queen ant thought it was over, but she didn't notice that more and more ants began to look up at the stars after work.

Finally, fifteen days after the day the Prophet looked up at the stars, a violent revolution took place among the ant colony.

This time, the queen ant could no longer resist the vast number of worker ants, it was caught, killed, and the ants established a new kingdom and began to develop rapidly.

Under the influence of some mysterious force, ants have rapidly evolved a complex social system, their bodies have gradually become stronger, and their external explorations are also underway.

They found that the humans in this supply depot had died long ago, and through the analysis of what humans had left behind, the ants had language and writing, and they called themselves the Eris civilization, and the prophet was the pioneer of the population, and the war to overthrow the queen ant was the holy war of civilization, and the day it looked up at the starry sky was the first year of the Eris civilization.

The rate of evolution is geometrical, in the twentieth day of the Eris civilization, the ants have learned the use of fire, and in the twenty-third day, the feudal system replaces the previous free society, and the ruling class emerges.

Thirty days later, the ants entered the age of steam, which led to social changes and the crumbling of the feudal system, and a war no less than the first holy war was waged among the ants, and eventually, society was transformed again.

Thirty-five days later, an ant researcher accidentally learned the mystery of thunder and lightning during a thunderstorm, and three days later, the electrical revolution appeared, and the ant civilization entered the electric age.

The forty-first day of the Eris civilization, this is a memorable day, the rocket made by the ants to fly into space, although in the subsequent launch, this small rocket and the six brave ant astronauts in the rocket only rose in the sky for less than twenty seconds, but for the Eris civilization, it is a great step.

After another long war that lasted for a week, the Eris civilization became a parliamentary society, and the ultimate goal of the civilization discussed by the council was to explore the starry sky and the outside world.

On the sixtieth day of Eris, the second rocket launch was successful.

The rocket carried four ant astronauts to the high altitude, where they meticulously observed and photographed the terrain around the supply station, and successfully returned half an hour later.

The cosmic age of the Eris civilization began.

At its most advanced, the Eris civilization spread tens of kilometers around it, building colonies and expanding its territory over the wasteland.

They are even developing technologies such as human bodies controlled by ants in order to communicate with humans.

However, on the ninety-seventh day of the Eris civilization, the humans visited the supply depot and left something here, and they did not seem to be aware of the existence of the Eris civilization, and just put down the things and left.

The Eris civilization has studied such things, and they have unraveled a completely new technology.

Through this technology, the Eris civilization has access to almost unlimited energy, and as a result, it is able to soar into the sky and go to the real stars.

The parliament of the time quickly approved the plan for mass production, and within three days, the technology was already being applied to all aspects of Eris civilization.

At this time, a researcher found that ants can be transformed into long-lived mechanical creatures through this technology, which is extremely important for exploration, because of the speed of evolution, the life span of ants has become extremely short, less than two days is a generation of ants, which makes the work of exploring the outside world very difficult, and requires the continuous efforts of generations of ants to complete.

And if the mechanization is completed, then any ant can explore the world at will, which is undoubtedly a huge temptation.

Soon, the parliament made a decision.

They decided to make all ants transform through technology, and since the first year of Eris civilization, the seeds of exploration have been engraved in the genes of all ants, and for this, they do not hesitate to give up everything.

However, the conversion lasted only half a day, and problems arose.

The transformed ants become terrifying monsters, they are able to use their shadows to devour other creatures, and transform, the desire to explore is suppressed by the desire to eat, and everything is speeding towards despair.

In just one day, the Eris civilization collapsed because of this blow.

As an advanced form of civilization, the Eris civilization quickly understood that they were already in ruin, and that all that remained was to stall for time.

Although you can use the light to dispel the monster, you can survive in this supply depot.

But this means that the Eris civilization can no longer leave their homeland to explore the wider world.

As a civilization whose ultimate goal is exploration, the Eris civilization has come to an end of its own.

As a result, the parliament decided to build a library.

This library contains all the technologies and creations of the Eris civilization, their poetry, culture, music, art, all of their civilization.

The Eris civilization wants to be remembered by someone.

After all this was done, the entire civilization was left with a librarian, who remained in the supply depot, waiting for others to find out.

And all the remaining ants, taking on their weapons, went to fight the monster they had made themselves.

“...... This was the birth and destruction of the Eris civilization. ”

The man with a tired expression said.

"All the rest of us have died, and I am the last one left, and even so, we have a short life and can only prolong our time by constantly going into hibernation, but we are also dying."

"As for my kind, perhaps they have become part of that monster."

The man sighed.

Zhu Shuang didn't speak, she was still digesting everything the other party had just shown.

She couldn't have imagined that in just over a hundred days, the ants in this supply station would evolve such a civilization, let alone that this civilization would be destroyed like this.

The power of the abyssal relics and the fragments of history was so clearly displayed in front of her.

This is only the result of the infiltration of a small force under the suppression of the demigods.

If this abyssal relic is completely activated, it will be no less than the birth of a new natural disaster.

Bai Ge looked at the book in the man's hand, there was a text on it that he couldn't understand, maybe this was the text that belonged to the Eris civilization.

The ants must understand that their civilization is only a transcendent product of the power of the ascended, so they try to leave something to prove their existence, and this library is the tombstone of the entire Eris civilization.

"Then, human beings, as the last members of the Eris civilization, I would like to ask you to accomplish one thing in exchange for the results of our research."

The man said very solemnly.

"Please, kill that monster."
