Book 1: The First Advent Chapter 9 A New Path
In contrast to single cells, multi-cells need to attack many times until they destroy all the cell cores on their body before they can completely die.
In the process, Luo Xia gradually entered another state, learning to maintain a relatively clear consciousness when applying instinctive attacks.
This is what he suddenly thought, in case he uses only subconscious instincts to fight in the future, the enemy and me will kill indiscriminately, then what will it be?
Fortunately, he discovered it early, otherwise as the structure of life became more complex, it would have been an extravagant hope to have to go in and out at will and adjust the operation of instincts again.
After that, Luo Xia bypassed some microorganisms that seemed to be very powerful, and slowly immersed himself in this relatively long slaughter.
And his body became more and more powerful as he continued to kill and absorb the energy in the core matter of other creatures.
In fact, as long as you master the way to use instinctive attacks freely, it will not be much difficult to deal with these microorganisms that are completely unintelligent.
Especially when the opponent's attack can't break its two layers of 'armor', the battle becomes easier.
Luo Xia is more likely to use this microcosm to observe the strange structures of various organisms for reference and utilization.
Sometimes the inadvertent miracles created by nature will amaze people.
For example, he saw a strange spherical creature, when the surface was damaged, it actually 'rolled' the broken part of the cell into the body to protect it, and used the energy of the cell core to repair it and then rotate out to fight.
This greatly increased survivability, and it took Luo Xia a great deal of effort to kill this opponent.
If this method is integrated into the 'Lost Shield' that he created in his first place, wouldn't it be possible to greatly improve survivability as long as he doesn't get killed with a single hit?
Imagine that in the future, if the enemy wounds himself with a sword and wants to make persistent efforts to expand the fatal blow of the wound, he will find that the original wound has run away to other unimportant places, wouldn't he be dumbfounded?
Another example...
Luo Xia learned and borrowed from various strange biological forms while controlling his body to kill.
The real time is half an hour, but in Luo Xia's opinion, it may be several lifetimes later.
After gradually transforming the ability to use instinct into his own handy ability, Luo Xia has more and more cells.
With the help of Xiaoxi's regulation, the cells continued to divide and increase, increasing from 2 to 2.
With each additional one, he had to re-adapt to the instinctive control, which was difficult at first, but later when he found a pattern, it became faster and faster.
As more and more cells grew, Luo Xia gradually realized that instinct is actually a special state after fusing consciousness and cell core.
This is also the fundamental reason why living beings gradually lose this ability as they grow.
Because the growth of consciousness cannot keep up with the speed of cell division!
In the case of individual cells, the amount of consciousness that needs to be integrated into it is almost negligible.
But as the body becomes more and more complex, consciousness will inevitably lead to insufficient coverage of all cells, so the larger and more complex the body, the more unable it is to retain instincts.
But what made Luo Xia happy was that he found that he didn't have to worry about this situation.
As the energy of the cell nucleus increases and accumulates, the part of consciousness that is integrated into it will actually be strengthened, and then fed back to itself.
This means that once he really continues to grow in this way, not only will his body be very strong, but even his consciousness or spiritual power will be different from ordinary people!
Such a discovery made Luo Xia overjoyed, and despite Xiaoxi's dissuasion, he began to fight and collect energy in a desperate manner.
The number of cells possessed by Luo Xia also began to grow exponentially.
Until...
"Temporary master, you have to stop, wake up, wake up, your consciousness is drifting, it's dangerous."
"Wake up, wake up!"
After a long time, as Xiao Xi forcibly transferred all the rest of the creatures, Luo Xia slowly came back to his senses.
Tired, and dazed...
The exhaustion from his soul almost crushed him, although it was only a short half an hour of real time, but for him as a microbe, he fought hundreds of thousands of times.
It's like spending centuries in never-ending battles, how can you not exhaust his soul?
If it weren't for the ability to let go of his consciousness and drive automatic combat with instinct, he would have collapsed long ago.
"It is recommended that you can do redundant elimination and soothing of the mind. Eliminate some meaningless records and negative emotions. ”
Looking at Luo Xia, who was lacking in interest, Xiao Xi naturally knew what was going on and gave a constructive proposal.
Now Luo Xia is composed of hundreds or thousands of cells all over his body, like a strange creature armed to the teeth and covered in barbs.
And some of his innermost nuclei as the core all emitted a faint red glow!
Only the outer cores of secondary cells, which are used to provide energy to several layers of epidermis, have not yet been completely upgraded.
This is a new method of cell arrangement that allows him to have the strongest strength, and at the same time ensures the tightness and defense of cells.
At the same time, the cells on the surface are basically perfectly circular, and they can be replaced at will within a limited range using the way they learned from that strange spherical creature!
In other words, as long as he does not die with one blow, he can quickly hide the wound, and then repair it with the life energy brought by the cell, which greatly improves the survivability.
Because its microscopic form resembles a labyrinth, Luo Xia named this structure 'Lost Shield'.
This makes him invincible in battle, even when he is later attacked by dozens of equally powerful creatures.
The siege of hundreds of strange-shaped tentacles still relied on relatively invincible defensive capabilities to stand tall.
After wagging his barbed tail indifferently, he accepted Xiao Xi's suggestion.
"Then try it, I'm bored with everything right now, it doesn't feel very good."
Then there was a burst of dizziness, and Luo Xia's whole consciousness began to fall into darkness...
When he woke up again, he felt like he was re-energized, and the primitive evolutionary journey that felt like centuries had turned into a half-hour super-fast experience!
Miraculously, his ability to control the free instinct that he was familiar with as if it were a part of his body had not been diminished in the slightest!
All the disgust and fatigue disappeared after a sleep!
"What's going on?"
"Spiritual purification is a technique developed to clean up the garbage of the mind in response to the long and repetitive life of the universe, which can cause people to have all kinds of negative emotions. Moreover, your evolution is actually only half an hour, which is nothing from another perspective. That's why it works so well. ”
It's an amazing ability.
Luo Xia couldn't help but sigh, of course, this kind of ability similar to 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' can only clear some repetitive and lengthy spiritual experiences and relieve pressure on the soul.
It doesn't really change the negative emotions caused by a life's memories and other reasons, or there are no bad people in the world.
"What's next, do you want to keep killing?"
"No, the original form of the permission holder has long since evolved. The most important thing now is to define the evolutionary direction, note that as a carbon-based lifeform, you can choose either a plant or an animal dimension. ”
For Luo Xia, who wants to become a human again as soon as possible, the choice of animals or plants is not worth considering at all.
However, it may also be that the so-called plant form is not so simple.
"What does plant form mean? Turning into a tree? ”
"No, in fact the animal form and the plant form are just elaborations in a way that you understand the master."
"To be precise, the plant form is a continuation and deepening of the current form, and the main body continues to grow in a single functional biological structure, but the connection between cells will become more flexible and strong. Creatures in this mode can change their appearance at will, and can also divide and spawn subordinate life groups, and have few weaknesses and vital points. ”
"Animal forms, on the other hand, have to evolve completely different and complex biological structures, such as bones, joints, internal organs, etc., and have weaknesses and vital points that cannot be eliminated. The process is relatively complicated and cannot be done in one step. ”
Sure enough, the so-called plant form is not so simple, at least Luo Xia feels very cowhide.
However, he didn't feel that the vegetative form that looked so cowish really had no shortcomings: "So. What are the pros and cons of both? ”
"There are no restrictions on the size and structure of plant forms, they can even be freewheeling, they grow quickly, and the demand for resources is relatively low. However, due to the lack of a large number of special structures, the body will become clumsy and single, and it is easy to be targeted and restrained in a specific way. ”
"Animal forms are more diverse and complex, each with its own characteristics, but at the same time, because of its specificity, it is far more dependent on cherishing resources than plant forms."
Although the plant form is ever-changing, the self-reproduction that eventually develops is even more perverted to the point of being suspected of being an infinite external incarnation, which is even more attractive.
Thinking about it if it becomes the size of a planet one day, you can change it at will, make some incarnations and waves everywhere, etc., it's really powerful.
But Luo Xia doesn't have to think about it at all, a form that will be restrained, no matter how powerful it is, it is crippled, not to mention the drag of the 'clumsy' attribute, this clumsy discipline is not only in action, but may also need to be reflected in thinking and perception.
After all, after the infinite expansion of the body, it is completely possible that the mind will not be able to keep up.
"I'll choose the animal form, show me what the options are."
As soon as he finished speaking, a large virtual screen slowly unfolded in front of his eyes, and on it appeared a number of creatures that he could choose the next evolutionary direction.
And these creatures are surprisingly familiar.
