[767] Quantitative change produces qualitative change
"Boom!"
The wind howls.
Yellow sand covered the sky completely.
Cheng Han stared at the halo picture, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
"Squeak! Chirping! ”
The call of the big sand ant was also full of excitement.
Cheng Han smiled: "The misty sand vines we planted in the desert have finally entered the time of reproduction. ”
on the screen.
A shattered moth corpse, the surface of which was crawling with countless slender vines.
This is the moth flying insect that was shot down by the warhawk in the previous air battle.
For Misha Teng.
It's a gift from heaven.
In just ten minutes.
Two misty vines completely enveloped the corpse, greedily absorbing the nutrients from it.
Subsequently.
The surface of the silk of each vine grows a large number of tiny particles at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Rough estimates.
The number is not less than 100,000.
This is exactly the seed of the misty vine.
Normally.
Because the misty sand realm is so barren, it takes at least half a year for a misty sand vine to obtain enough nutrients and then enter the state of reproduction.
But now that there is a moth corpse to provide nourishment, it will be done in ten minutes.
What's more, a vine produces five times more seeds than normal.
"Whew!"
A gust of wind swept through.
The seeds broke away from the vine silk and rose into the sky with the air current.
Cheng Han smiled: "The seeds of the misty sand vine are lighter than feathers, and with the help of the wind, they will spread over a very wide area.
"It is not impossible for these seeds to fly as far as the extent of the sandstorm is, and it is not impossible to exceed 100,000 kilometers."
"Squeak!"
The big sand ant responded.
It's saying: the farther the seed floats, the better.
From the standpoint of pan-consciousness.
Sandstorms are a great thing to spread seeds in.
on the screen.
The vines completed their mission, quickly withered, and were scattered by the wind.
The moth-worm corpse was re-revealed.
The corpse was gone, with only smooth bones and scales remaining.
Cheng Han glanced at it and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you for the catastrophic worm." ”
"Squeak!"
The big sand ant chimed in.
Five minutes later.
Cheng Han suddenly sensed something, and his eyes locked on the big sand ant.
The next second.
A mutation has occurred.
A little bit of dim green light emerged out of thin air and merged into the body of the big sand ant.
It grew rapidly and soon swelled in size, jumping from one meter to about one and a half meters in length.
And that's not all.
On the surface of the big sand ant's body, vine-like strange patterns quickly emerged, which seemed to contain countless mysteries.
Cheng Han's eyes widened, and a huge look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
This is obviously tens of millions of insect corpses, providing a huge amount of nourishment, which has made the number of misty sand vines usher in a leap.
Quantitative changes naturally bring about qualitative changes.
As a collection of consciousness of all living beings in this realm, the power of the ant colony pan-consciousness has increased by a bit, and it is natural that a change has taken place.
Or - advanced.
Cheng Han immediately sensed the evolution of the laws of the world, and without hesitation, he stretched out his hand and dialed it.
"Buzz!"
The strings trembled.
The strings of the laws of the life system appeared out of thin air.
Cheng Han immediately stretched out his fingers and pinched the strings of the law, and with the help of this magical thing, he felt the subtle changes in the law more deeply and clearly.
Meanwhile.
He silently recited a sentence of deduction.
Stars emerge.
Another halo flashed.
The flood of knowledge washed over again.
Not much.
The evolution of ant colony panconsciousness is over.
The light on the surface of the big sand ant dimmed as it went.
Its morphology has undergone a considerable change.
It used to look like a green sand ant, but now it looks like a sand ant woven from vines.
In particular, the two tentacles on the forehead are even more like vines, and there is a faint green aura lingering around them.
Cheng Han suddenly realized: "In the past, sand ants occupied a dominant position in this world, so the pan-consciousness took the form of sand ants.
"Nowadays, the number of misty sand vines has skyrocketed, and their total vitality is not much worse than that of sand ants, which has profoundly affected the ecology of this world.
"The pan-consciousness of the ant colony thus received feedback from the world, spontaneously triggered the evolution of the law, and the form naturally changed."
Cheng Han muttered in his heart: "No, now you can't call it ant colony pan-consciousness, you should directly call it pan-consciousness." ”
Then.
The eyes of the big sand ant suddenly became smart, and he quickly climbed a few steps in the sand.
With each step, a cluster of illusory vines emerges from under its feet.
Such a sight.
It's a bit of a "step-by-step" meaning.
Cheng Han's eyes flickered again.
This is not a supernatural ability, but a higher level of power, the natural manifestation of the law.
"Squeak! Chirping! ”
The big sand ant croaked a few times, mixed with great joy.
It's saying, "I'm getting stronger."
Its cry changed markedly, with a strange hazy feeling, vaguely like the dance of vines.
Cheng Han decisively sent congratulations: "Congratulations, you are one step closer to the true will of the world. ”
The big sand ant took a step closer and lowered his head slightly: "Squeak! Chirping! ”
This is a thank you: without your help, I would not be where I am today.
There was a sense of sincerity in its voice that it had never felt before.
Cheng Han laughed: "We are friends!" ”
The big sand ant nodded quite humanely: "Squeak! Chirping! ”
It's saying: Yes, we're friends.
This is not a repetition, but a deep recognition.
In fact.
Panconsciousness is not without doubts about the so-called "path to the will of the world".
It's just the instinct to "want to be stronger" that it's willing to try.
Now it has undergone a metamorphosis, and finally believes in this path, and has developed complete trust in the human beings in front of it.
The big sand ant raised his head, looked at Cheng Han's face, and shouted several times in a row: "Squeak!" Creak! ”
It's saying, "Do I sense that you're grasping the law and need my help?"
The birth of pan-consciousness is inherently closely related to the law, and it can naturally sense the existence of the strings of the law.
Cheng Han shook his head and refused: "No!" I have learned the secrets of the law. ”
After all that is said.
He reached out again and plucked the strings of the law.
"Buzz!"
With a chord trembling.
The strings of the law fluttered, and bizarrely became two.
The extra string is more important and stronger than the first.
The big sand ant shook its tentacles, and his tone was full of surprise: "This power is a bit similar to mine. ”
It has no concept of human cultivation and doesn't know what an amazing thing it is.
It's just happy for friends.
Cheng Han smiled and nodded: "I borrowed from Ling's strength. ”
He repeated what Pan Consciousness had just said, "I'm getting stronger. ”
The first string represents the mastery of tiny creatures.
The second string represents gathering.
To put it more explicitly, it is to gather the power of tiny creatures into a whole.
The ant colony's pan-consciousness has gathered the power of countless misty sand vines and evolved into pan-consciousness.
Cheng Han had insight into the mystery and finally condensed this crucial string of law.
In a word.
This is a qualitative change.
