Chapter 189: Gaia Consciousness

In the Alien and human civilizations, there have always been legends about Gaia, and in the version of human civilization, Gaia is a natural consciousness, a magical rule that maintains ecological balance and ensures the stability of nature.

Human beings believe that under the influence of Gaia's consciousness, every species in nature has a strong enemy, and each species is not absolutely weak, although there is a huge difference between high and low, but from the perspective of the overall environment, all living organisms have their own living environment, this model is very balanced.

If a special circumstance arises that upsets this pattern of equilibrium, Gaia consciousness intervenes in extreme ways.

Species that are overflowing attract plagues and predators, and then return to their normal state.

Dangerous behaviors are plagued and prevented from taking shape.

In the initial civilization, human beings thought that these phenomena appeared because the species was choosing the environment, but in the theoretical system of Gaia's consciousness, it was actually Gaia who created the environment for the species.

The Adept's interpretation of Gaia bears a high resemblance to humans.

But the Ability's perception of Gaia is not based on speculation and conjecture, and their unique talent allows them to know a long, long time ago that there is such an incomparably noble existence in the Yuan this time.

In the traditional rituals of some ancient ethnic groups, sacrifices to Gaia have been retained, and the ritual of summoning Gaia has also been handed down.

There is no need to go back to the source, and those who regard the inheritance as extremely powerful believe that these rituals are real.

Later, when the Aliens faced the subversion of civilization and the endless oppression of human beings, they chose a way to retaliate with unpredictable risks - they hoped to actively trigger Gaia's power to balance nature to balance the gap between humans and the Aliens.

It's a pity that they were wrong, and the gap between the humans on the dominant side and the aliens is not much wider than the gap between the humans and the humans when the aliens were the dominant side.

Gaia didn't work for the humans to eliminate their disadvantage against the Adepts, and now there's no reason to help the Adepts regain their lost advantage.

Therefore, the act of summoning Gaia by the Stranger is pure wishful thinking, and Gaia will not listen to their demands at all.

But the consequences of the matter are far more serious than the supernatural imagined, and the summoning of Gaia incident is definitely not a case where the elder brother sued his mother about his younger brother, and the mother ignored it.

Gaia, who was summoned for the first time, formed her own consciousness for the first time, had many thoughts of her own.

Her first thought was that it was nice to be able to think and act independently, no longer as rigid and ethereal as a program. It's amazing to be able to touch it with your own hands and see it with your own eyes.

This being, who transcends everything, feels that everything is more interesting than herself.

In the face of those creatures who were so hard to ask for her, Gaia couldn't understand the betrayal and balance in their mouths, she only felt that there was a special energy in these little things, and she was very eager for that energy, like... Just like their food cravings.

Gaia soon realized that she had to consume this energy if she wanted to stay in her current form.

The fledgling Gaia was in dire need of a large amount of energy, and the entire group of Adepts was drained of their abilities and became indistinguishable from ordinary humans, except for the identity of a Anomalous and Humble Adept.

Gaia, who has absorbed the energy, has a lot of things to do, and there is no need to talk to these food providers, some people say that she is dormant again, some people say that she is going to pursue a higher being, anyway, she is gone, taking away the last hope of the Adept.

This is the reason why the Alien Race suddenly lost its ability at a certain time, until today, there are less than 200 Aliens left, and few people know the truth of this history, only the plant clan and kobold clan who were responsible for summoning Gaia and have the ability to communicate with Gaia know all this.

Yu Nuo said here and made a short emotional adjustment, this history must be very unbearable for a person who has inherited the memories of his ancestors and empathizes with all the abilities, what a desperate situation it must be.

Misfortune and blessing rely on, and blessing and misfortune lurk. If you lose your ability, you lose the capital to fight back, and at the same time, you lose the value of use, and the ability is finally free.

Then came a well-known history: human civilization developed rapidly, and the Anomalies blended in, gradually beginning to regain their lost abilities.

Then there was a small battle for the revival of the Anomalous, and after that battle, human civilization was more stable, and the Adepts were divided into three camps.

Abandoning the civilians of racial civilization camp.

An evolutionary camp that recognizes the coexistence of human civilization and alien civilization.

and the revival camp that does not forget old hatreds and regards humanity as mortal enemies.

The revival camp's actions against humanity have been countered by humanity, which has indirectly led to the other two camps becoming the target of human defense.

In the later period, there were hundreds of years of internal and external troubles and wars, and the group of supernatural people who once dominated civilization developed in this state to this day, and it became a tragic end of death and extinction, with less than 200 people left.

But even if there are less than 200 people left, the three camps of the supernatural are still distinct, the civilian camp gathered in Little Hong Kong to form the Fight Association, the Evolution camp gathered in Little Macau to establish a technical school, and the Revival camp gathered in Little Taiwan to establish a media company.

The Fight Guild only wants to survive steadily, never participates in any activities of the superpowers, and even uses the abilities rarely, and those who are unruly like the Thousand Islands Reaper are all expelled from the organization.

Beitai Technical School has carried out in-depth cooperation with mankind, won the acceptance and affirmation of human civilization, and greatly relaxed the policy, hoping to achieve the concept and goal of common prosperity of the two civilizations.

As for the media companies in the revival camp, they have more ideas.

Yunuo revealed to me that more than 30 years ago, all the supernatural people gathered in Beitai were the masterminds of the revival camp.

30 years ago, the Adept suddenly found himself unable to control the hidden ability, and often involuntarily changed his form. As a result of this situation, they are unable to avoid the hunting of the inhuman center of the human anti-paranormal organization, and the situation is very serious.

The leader of the revival faction found the leaders of the other two factions, and the leader of the revival faction revealed that the reason for the anomaly in their abilities this time was that Gaia, who had been summoned by them and had been missing for thousands of years, was coming out to forage for food. In this way, she's exposing the Anomalies, capturing their whereabouts, and soon absorbing all of their abilities as food as she did in the first place, at which point the Abilities will be down again.

Falling, can not persuade the leaders of the two camps, at that time there were only tens of thousands of people left, who have fallen can no longer fall, if you can really lose your ability because of this, and integrate into human civilization as at the beginning, maybe it is still a good choice.

It's a pity that their ideas don't represent the thoughts of human beings, who have become more cold-blooded and ruthless after these thousands of years of development.

After learning that Gaia's consciousness was about to return, Liu Yang, the leader of the Evolution Camp, made several contacts with representatives of human politics on behalf of the Anomalous.

Through various channels, Liu Yang found that the attitude of human beings towards the supernatural is far worse than he imagined, and even the concept of co-prosperity of the evolutionary camp is recognized by human beings because of the existence of superpowers, and if they lose their abilities, they will only perish.

The Evolutionary faction is reluctant to accept this conclusion, and they want to dispell this misconception through their own efforts, but until then, they must keep their abilities.

It was also with the support of this concept that the Evolution Camp and the Revival Camp cooperated for the first time in history, and the civilian camp could not stay out of the trend and had to join it, and the three camps, at least on the surface, merged into a collective again.

Their fusion has only one purpose, which is to fight Gaia and protect their abilities from being absorbed.

Under the circumstances, the leaders of the three factions did not reveal the true inside story of this cooperation, and announced internally that the purpose of the cooperation was to find a way to remove the ability from control, which is not wrong.

After a series of investigations, the Evolution Camp was the first to discover that in a place called Beitai, the phenomenon of uncontrolled abilities would automatically disappear, and no matter what species of abilities they had, they could regain the ability to freely control abilities there.

The results of this investigation were quickly confirmed, the three camps used all their resources at the first time, and led all the supernatural people to pour into Beitai, and human civilization didn't even have time to make any response, and when they realized that the situation was wrong, tens of thousands of supernatural people had been scattered and hidden in Beitai.

After that, they used resources and relationships to unite some human beings who did not know the truth to develop together, and then drew a clear line and a clear position in a specific period, and there was the later Beitai Three Extraordinary Beings Organization, which completely gained a firm foothold.

"In the process, the Adepts have paid a huge price, from more than 10,000 to less than 200 now, at first we thought it was a necessary price to pay in response to the disaster, but gradually we realized that things were far from as simple as they seemed. Yu Nuo's tone was full of anger when he said this: "We have found that many of the supernatural people, especially the extinction of the larger population, are inextricably linked to the revival camp, and after a period of secret investigation, we are convinced that the revival camp deliberately drove them into a desperate situation and caused a large number of their deaths. ”

Yunuo's narrative style brings in too much emotion and drags too much, and I can't help but interject and ask: "Why did the revival camp do this?!"

"They deliberately killed their fellow Adepts so that the abilities of the dead Adepts would return to nature, to the land of origin, and they were actively feeding Gaia. ”

I still don't understand, "If it's just to sacrifice to Gaia in this way, why do you have to choose the North Terrace, isn't it more convenient to be in those environments outside where you can't control your abilities?"

"No, no, nowhere else can you achieve this, only here. Yu Nuo raised his head as he spoke, his eyes full of fear and despair: "Because this North Platform is the habitat of Gaia's consciousness. ”
