Chapter 82: One is All
As soon as he entered this mysterious space, Adonsa felt a cold aura like the tide slowly rising in a swamp in the middle of the night, which was a huge idea from the third stage of evolutionary super life, and the strong Detabo even formed various illusions around him.
Once in the sea, in the past, these scenes that had been experienced and seen by the Black Death Emperor reappeared in this dark space.
The spirits of the undead from thousands of years ago take on an illusory form, reenacting their own history around them.
Even after a thousand years of death, the powerful minds of super-life beings are still enough to assimilate those weak humans.
Adonsa watched the visions silently.
It was an unusually ancient era, early enough that the light of civilization had not yet been ignited, and the apes who drank blood had not even freed their hands, and could only struggle in a harsh environment.
100,000 years ago, an inconspicuous meteorite fell into this world, giving birth to a life that was extremely weak and dangerous, and if left unchecked, it would even die in a few minutes.
The clump of clump of clump struggled to wrap around a bracken, mimicking the plant's structure and reshaping itself, taking its first steps in evolution.
This is also the first step in its mistakes.
The vegetal reflexes of the plant are too rudimentary to build up the slightest ability to think, and this life that is supposed to devour the world lives as a bracken.
It can only grow and spread instinctively, and little by little it guarantees its own living space, passively evolving venom to drive away herbivores, deep roots to fight drought, and seeds to occupy a wider area.
As a plant, it only has the instinct to survive and has no desire to evolve, and will only change itself with the change of the environment, and even weaken itself because of the change of the environment to fight for the space for survival.
Perhaps it was because of the resonance of the same super life, such a way of survival made Adonsa feel a similar sadness welled up in his heart.
It took 5.6 billion years for nature to give birth to the first primate of human beings.
If Adonsa hadn't quickly devoured and imitated the central nervous system of humans, he would have become a beast indulging in low-level desires.
The feeling was fleeting, and Adonsa continued to watch the subsequent developments.
10,000 years, 10,000 years, 10,000 years.
Its roots and torso have stretched over tens of thousands of hectares, and one day it finally touches on the question that must be pondered at the beginning of life.
Who am I?
The large, intricate root system is like a huge neural network, bloated and sluggish, making it think about this simple question for another 10,000 years.
Its neural circuits became more and more perfect, and huge electrical impulses clumsily propagated between the roots, and finally it completed the problem, became aware of the existence of the self, and learned to refer to itself as "I".
It has finally begun to embark on the path of superlife, and has begun to consciously transform itself, and even the environment. Once awakened, the evolution rate of super life will enter a period of high-speed gushing.
Its roots hold the land steady, and the steaming water regulates the celestial phenomena, killing all creatures that harm or threaten to harm it.
It began to selectively knock out those harmful genes, expressing an even more vigorous desire to expand and evolve.
It didn't take long for it to become a veritable overlord of the planet, and no creature could threaten it anymore.
As long as it is given enough time, devouring the world is nothing more than a gesture.
But it still can't resist the eternal laws of physics in this world, and it can't resist the constraints of nature.
It woke up too late.
It has accumulated too much exhaustion and pain in its long life, and it is not superficial destruction, but a deeper death.
Genes continue to mismatch and deteriorate, bringing about diseases that cannot be reversed, just like a delicate program that has been running for 10,000 years, and no matter how strong a programmer is, there is no way to continue to maintain it.
Starting from the most marginal limbs, its leaves gradually turn yellow, its roots slowly decay, and even the cells stop dividing and cannot be renewed.
Accumulation of genetic errors destroyed the basic pathways of transcriptional expression, and the eating, respiration, and photosynthesis that were once part of its life began to slowly stagnate.
Adonsa sighed, it was clear that evolution had stagnated and that his life was coming to an end.
Is there an end to evolution? No, not the end, but stagnation.
When biological evolution reaches a stage where new theories and technologies cannot be discovered and confirmed, and can only be studied in vain within the existing body of knowledge, it will inevitably come to a standstill.
In this logic, it is the same to replace evolution with science.
Although the "young and strong" Adonsa is still a long way from the stage of evolutionary stagnation, he also faintly feels the bottleneck and ceiling of modern technology.
There is no doubt that the Black Death Emperor is a super life that has survived for at least tens of thousands of years, and in such a harsh and ignorant environment in ancient times, its evolution is much more difficult than that of Adonsa, and it even has no sense of scientific research at all, and it is completely relying on instinct and coincidence to evolve. After the basic physical reinforcement reached a limit, it fell into a long-term decline, and in the end, there was no way to even guarantee the lifespan, and could only die a slow death.
Even if it has naturally entered the second stage of evolution in a long evolution, it still cannot stop the coming limit, and the simple natural variation has come to an end, and what it needs is a new evolution.
However, it is ignorant and does not know how to start.
Faced with such a predicament, it felt deep fear and despair.
Large swaths of the body were necrotic and rotting, and maggots and mosquitoes and flies were revived and roamed over its corpse.
In the end, it had to give up all its body, retaining its purest core and falling into a long slumber.
This sleep is tens of thousands of years have passed.
Awakening again, it discovers that a whole new civilization has been born in this world.
The illusion dissipated suddenly, turning into a turbulent current, apparently something had happened to the Black Death Emperor, which interrupted the replay of memories.
When the illusion vanished, a bottomless darkness was revealed, and damp water vapor rushed in.
Adonsa calmly observed the surroundings, and the ultrasound waves that were imperceptible to the human ear were emitted, but he did not receive any feedback at all, as if the sound waves were absorbed.
It separates countless small mosquitoes before it senses through feedback, and this is a cave.
Adonsa shook his nerve center, feeling that the connection with the outside world was very ambiguous, like a delayed network, unable to get too much computing power, otherwise in normal times, the structure of this kind of cave could be clearly depicted through sonar in an instant.
Even if several splinters came in together, they were only able to communicate, but they didn't know where they were.
At this time, the airflow changed, as if something was approaching, and the infrared senses did not warn, only a viscous sound came.
