Chapter Seventy-Eight: Successive Hosts
As the thought fell.
Rumble!
The flow of information rushed like a stormy wave.
As soon as Zhou Wuwuxin came into contact, countless lights and shadows suddenly exploded from it, turning into an astonishing amount of scene information scattered in the depths of his consciousness, and his mind seemed extremely crowded, making him feel drowsy in an instant.
"Hmm......"
Zhou Wuwu snorted, and there were green tendons on his forehead.
The current scene is very similar to the first time he bound the system, and it has a familiarity that has not been seen for a long time.
However, in terms of impact strength, it is not a measure at all, and with his current full value of various attributes and the realm of complete consciousness, he is a little powerless in the face of the current flood of information.
After a long time, the information was transmitted.
"Let me see what I have gained after spending 80,000 square meters of energy."
Zhou Wuwu's face was slightly pale, his eyes were shining, he muttered, his mind immersed in the depths of his mind, where countless points of light floated.
Crash!
At this time, as the thought flickered, the points of light converged and flowed into a picture.
……
"The memories of the system's previous one thousand and eighty-six hosts?"
Zhou Wuwu looked extremely surprised.
In his mind's eye, a scroll of pictures unfolded, and the light and shadow on it changed, revealing a vast forest.
Grunt!
It was as if the sound of the stomach and intestines were moving from the frame.
Deep in the forest, a bunch of brown fleshy creatures that seemed to be made up of unknown fungi twisted and twisted, gradually forming a strange plant with countless tentacles.
"Hungry...... Hungry ......"
This unknown monster seems to have a simple consciousness.
Through this light curtain, Zhou Wuwu could perceive that its body covered with tentacles was filled with an incomparably crazy desire to eat, and even vaguely could hear the hiss coming from its spiritual level.
"A creature that only follows instincts?"
Looking at it at this time, Zhou Wuwu's eyes showed doubts.
Smack! Smack!
In the light curtain screen, the brown skin of the unknown monster is secreting a large amount of transparent mucus, which is constantly dripping down the tentacles to the ground.
Its body melted away like a puddle of mud.
Then I saw it writhing on the rotten and blackened forest floor, with countless tentacles waving on it, looking like a brown carpet covered with thick fluff, slowly spreading in all directions.
"Hungry...... Hungry ......"
Vague thoughts kept coming from the picture.
Zhou Wuwu saw from the light curtain that in the original vast forest, a pool of brown material was spreading rapidly, and the thick tentacles on it stretched out from the bottom of the forest, and immediately bloomed like flower petals, enveloping giant trees.
The mucus secreted from it seems to have a strong corrosive effect.
Gollum!
There was a sound of liquid drumming.
The lump that enveloped the tree like a giant sac of flesh was visibly dissolving, and then turned into more brown material and spread freely through the forest.
……
"This is the host of the system?"
Zhou Wuwu looked surprised.
As time passed, the distant and strange world in the light curtain seemed to be swallowed up by a pool of brown monsters with tentacles.
"Hungry...... Hungry ......"
On the earth, countless huge mountain-like tentacles stretched out to the sky.
"This thought ......"
Zhou Wuwu's spirit was shaken, and at this time, even through the light curtain, he could feel the consciousness that devoured everything, roaring like a hurricane between heaven and earth.
Rumble!
The terrifying spiritual power is like a volcanic eruption, rushing and converging, and the light and shadow on the picture scroll are distorted and intertwined, forming a dim scene of destruction.
In the light curtain, the world has been swallowed up.
All traces of life were gone, the sea had dried up, and in the middle of the vast desert, there was only an impossibly large monstrous lifeform, shrouded in an endless cloud of distorted light and shadow, its countless tentacles waving in an attempt to capture more food.
"If you don't awaken your self-consciousness, everything will be empty after all."
Zhou Wuwu shook his head at this time.
Through the light curtain, he saw that this lifeform, which seemed to be incarnated into heaven and earth, had begun to reach the end of its rope, and after devouring the entire world, it had actually devoured itself in turn to satisfy its endless desire to eat.
……
At the end of the scroll, only a devastated world scene is left.
"It's a pity for those energy points."
Zhou Wuwu sighed.
The light curtain reflects everything that the monster has experienced from birth to destruction, and its behavior is completely driven by instinct, and the huge energy value brought by devouring the world is distributed by its instinctive consciousness of devouring and evolving, and all of it is added to the attribute change.
"In the end, it didn't even have enough energy to travel through the world."
Zhou Wuwu's mood fluctuated slightly.
That monster's body, as if it had endless potential, such as mountains and seas, could be consumed, and even in Zhou Wuwu's feeling, even if there was more energy, it would still be directly digested by the other party.
"It's sad!"
Zhou Wuwu's expression was cold: "This application method, in addition to having a huge body and brute strength, even if the spiritual power breaks through the sky, what can it change?" ”
"It's ridiculous, with the big killer of the system, he was starved to death in the end."
There was disappointment in his heart.
After all, the system has the ability to shuttle through the world, even if it swallows an entire world, it can also change the world, and if the cycle continues, it will inevitably evolve into a true peak life.
"The root of everything lies in wisdom."
Zhou Wuwu put aside his thoughts at this time.
Although this is said to be the experience of a host of the system, this host acts entirely on instinctive consciousness, and although it evolves to the end, it can devour the heavens and the earth, but it gives him a feeling of ignorance like a beast.
"Let's look at the other hosts......"
Zhou Wuwu had a faint expectation in his heart.
Immediately, thoughts flashed, and those countless points of light in the depths of the soul converged to form a picture scroll slowly unfolding, and it felt like a treasure chest was constantly being opened.
……
Over time.
Hiss!
In the light curtain, a monstrous creature covered in jagged scales, roaring in terror, fell from the image of the air distorted by the heat, with a slow-flowing stream of dark red lava below.
Burst!
The monstrous creature's body instantly swelled and exploded, burning and quickly turning to ashes.
"This is dead?"
Zhou Wuwu originally watched it with great interest, but when this scene appeared, he was still a little incredulous, this kind of death appeared in the system host, which made him have a strange feeling of impermanence.
"Really."
Zhou Wuwu shook his head, a little ridiculous: "There is such an unlucky host." ”
Whoa!
A light curtain emerged, and there were all kinds of creatures appearing in it, these were the hosts of the system for generations, and at this time, a long or short life was displayed in front of Zhou Wuwu.
"Dead."
"Dead."
……
As time passed, Zhou Wuwu's face turned cold.
The fact that he was standing here now meant that these hosts had long since died, and the reappearance of the scenes recorded in these lineages confirmed his suspicions.
"None of them are self-aware?"
Zhou Wuwu felt that something was wrong.
Up to now, he has looked at the pre-life pictures of more than 100 hosts, all of them are the same as the original creature, acting completely by instinctive consciousness, and there is no self-consciousness that belongs to intelligent life.
The way these hosts die is also bizarre.
Some die of natural old age, some die of various accidents, some are unaware of the existence of the system, and some follow instinctive evolution.
The strongest of them is the monster that began to devour the world.
"Self-awareness, self-awareness."
Zhou Wuwu's eyes were focused, and he muttered to himself: "If you don't have self-awareness, you can't get rid of your body's instincts, and you can't form true wisdom. ”
"Am I the only exception?"
The thought suddenly rose in his mind.
"Read on and you'll see."
Zhou Wuwu shook his head, the dark light in his eyes jumped, and at this time, his mind moved, and a light curtain appeared in his mind, and he continued to flip through.
The one hundred and twenty-seventh host.
It's a weird-looking colored bug.,After getting the system.,The size of the palm suddenly increased to the size of a basin.,After the first time I traveled through the world.,Frozen to death in a winter snow.,Never awakened self-awareness.。
……
One hundred and seventy-ninth host.
It is a fish-shaped monster covered in skeletal structures in the deep water area.
In the change of the system's attributes, he became the overlord of the deep sea, and after the first time he traveled through the world, he only survived for seventeen hours before being sunburned alive in the desert, never awakening his self-consciousness.
……
The 283rd host, a carnivorous plant that resembles a man-eating flower, was unaware of the otherworldly after being bound to the system for a month, and was eaten and killed by a giant crustacean three hours later, without awakening to its self-consciousness.
……
Three hundred and forty-four hosts.
It is a ribbon-like unknown creature that floats in the air, and after traveling through the world for the first time, it survives for twenty-eight years, five months, and nine days, and dies of natural causes, never awakening to its own consciousness.
……
The four hundred and fifty-first host, surviving for three seconds, was devoured by an unknown being, unable to know if it had awakened its self-consciousness, or even seen it clearly.
……
Six hundred and sixty-six hosts.
"Huh?"
Zhou Wuwu's expression was cold and unmoved, and he was looking at the scenes of the death of the host, when his eyes suddenly lit up and his spirit was uplifted.
In the light curtain, there is a dim swamp.
Da!
A strange creature with eight arms, a lower body like a python, and a human-like upper body appeared, and on its narrow cheeks covered with scales, a pair of erected green eyes exuded a hint of evil, and there was a faint wisdom contained in it.
"It's self-awareness!"
Zhou Wuwu suddenly looked overjoyed.
……
