Let's turn our attention back to the current research.....

For trolls and even evolved elves, a severe brain injury is almost equivalent to certain death, and even if it is lightly injured, it will cause sequelae such as disability depending on the degree;

The reason for this is the drag of neurons and various passive brain areas, which often have a regenerative ability for hundreds of years.

But the higher salamanders seem to be different in this regard......

Through observation, the witch doctors found that the back of the brain, which accounts for about one-fifth of the whole brain, had been completely scorched by the lightning strike, and the remaining quarter of the brain area had been indirectly affected by the lightning strike, which had been traumatized to varying degrees of severity.

However, the area of its brain that has been invaded by natural lightning is recovering itself at a speed much faster than that of the elven brain area;

Among them, the completely charred and inactive fifth is being rejected little by little, and their residue will be gradually excreted along the descending blood vessels and other pathways in the neck;

The rest of the wound area is rapidly proliferating, filling and replacing the missing cells in the damaged area.

From the observations available, this process will not end anytime soon, even without the intervention of the witch doctors;

It is expected that the restoration process will last between 200 and 300 years, provided that no other influence is exerted.

In other words, the same brain injury, which was completely damaged by one-fifth and affected by one-fourth, did not become a 'fatal injury' to the higher salamander.

Trolls, elves, salamanders, and higher salamanders all have the ability to regenerate, but the higher salamanders show an overwhelming superiority, showing a completely different regenerative nature of the first three.

The witch doctors were curious about this, and although they knew that the difference in life levels between the two sides was too large and there was actually no comparison, they still wanted to try to find out the essential reason for this gap.

Fortunately, the higher salamander's body had more wounds than the cave wolf, which gave the witch doctors a better view of observation, and made them initially equipped to continue their research.....

In the subsequent explorations, whether it is the isolation and observation of different types of single cells, or the overall study of the function of the viscera, it can be regarded as filling many blind spots in the knowledge of higher biology of witch doctors.

】

In terms of cells, the conclusion is similar to that of the cave wolf, which is a large nuclear structure with unknown specific functions, and there are also abundant reserves of high-energy and high-nutrient liquids.

When the cell structure is complete, the internal high-energy and high-nutrient fluid will supply the operation of the rest of the structure in the cell, so as to support the operation of the superstructure;

In this state, the liquid will be replenished for a period of time after it has been withdrawn;

However, when the nucleus is separated from the whole cell, the original cell will stop functioning, and the cell function around the nucleus will be replenished, and the cell membrane and other structures will be born in a new position around the separated nucleus.

Moreover, when the above-mentioned processes such as the regeneration of high-energy and high-nutrient fluids and the reconstitution of cells took place, the witch doctors did not even replenish the higher salamanders with the slightest nutrient;

The same is true for organ-level regeneration observations, even if all extracorporeal nutrient intake is cut off (just what the witch doctors think of and can do), regeneration will not be stopped, and at most it will have some effect on the speed.

Overall, this high salamander appears to the witch doctors as a lossless machine, capable of performing its functions without any fuel.....

As a result, it has a huge, almost endless self-sustaining capacity, which supports its terrifying regenerative properties, natural lifespan, and so on;

Whether it is the trauma of the brain or the loss of internal organs, the energy and time consumption generated by it are completely insignificant in the face of its almost unlimited self-sustaining ability.

In other words, its body has truly lost its 'fatal weakness', and even when the brain, heart and other areas are severely damaged, or even completely destroyed, it seems that the only thing that can be caused is 'more trouble'.

If the witch doctors do not interfere with it in the future, the body will recover first for a while, and the injured areas of the brain will recover much slower than the former, and will slowly recover in the following time.

The witch doctors speculated that during the recovery of the brain, the body would enter a different state of instinct-driven, semi-dormant, and complete dormancy, depending on the function and degree of damage in the affected area, so as to survive the lack of a command center.

And perhaps after the recovery period of tens or even hundreds of years is over, there will be a 'brand-new' higher salamander in this world.

However, this energetic explanation, while essential enough, is not the direct cause of the regenerative gap....

In fact, long before, when Nesta's own 'all-powerful cell' was born through the self-selection of the body, he had some vague associations with the way forward and the state of the body of higher beings;

Coupled with the extremely limited experimental contribution of the cave wolf, this association finally took shape.

Nesta believes that when an individual's evolution reaches a certain level, it is very likely that the division of many internal organs in terms of functional fields will become a model lake.

For example, the role of the brain as the center of thinking may be partially replaced by the body as a whole.

For another example, the function of the heart to pump blood supply may be completed by the blood terminal autonomously;

In the same way, lungs, disease, or similar organs will slowly take recede, and many of their missions will be replaced by multifunctional and interchangeable integrated cell populations.

Earlier, due to the fact that the Cave Wolves' bodies were too intact when they were captured, the Witch Doctors were at most able to cause some abrasive damage to their body surfaces, thus obtaining scarce high-energy, high-nutrient fluids;

As a result, Nesta has rarely had access to intact cells and the observation of their internal visceral structures, and has not made much progress in confirming his conjecture.

But this time it was different, both higher salamanders suffered great trauma for different reasons;

This has given the witch doctors the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, and a large number of functional vines have taken the opportunity to penetrate into their relatively fragile inner abdomen and even the brain;

This method not only allowed the two new mother trees to produce much more high-energy liquid than the Cave Wolves, but also gave the witch doctors more observational 'perspectives' and many previous observations.

As for Nesta's side, he observed some of his own guesses from the regenerative state of the higher salamander after it was injured.....

Lightning strikes have caused severe damage to many organs, including the brain, but the higher salamanders have not experienced substantial functional body arrest due to organ damage.

In all corners, some cells have shown that they may not be as efficient as a complete organ, but they are sufficient to maintain the basic required functions, and even the central mission of the brain is supported by the 'autonomy' of individual cell communities to operate and interact at a minimum.

In his observations, these things may be carried out with great difficulty, and there may be such and such shortcomings that cannot be ignored, but they have indeed achieved the 'model lake nature' in his speculation.

This direction is essentially the transformation of cells from single to multifaceted in terms of function, which is essentially contrary to the natural evolutionary trend of organisms;

At least from the theoretical knowledge of Nesta's previous life, it deviates from, or even reverses the natural evolutionary process of complex organisms, and without the unity of a transcendent consciousness or will, such cells are almost unnecessary and should not form a whole.

However, it is precisely this evolutionary method, which at first glance deviates from the path of evolution, that gives the higher salamander such tenacious vitality;

Although the brain is still the brain, the viscera is still the viscera, they are all in charge of some tasks in the overall operation of life, and their respective functions are extremely powerful and have sufficient energy support;

However, after all, energy still needs a transformation process, and it cannot directly replace the function of the viscera;

In this transformation process of different lengths and susceptibility to external interference, it is the 'modularity' that has become the most important support for its ability to survive and wait for the opportunity to regenerate in the trauma area under such a degree of trauma and the obstruction of self-healing.

Let's take a look at the trolls, elves, and second-class volcanic salamanders, although they also have super regenerative ability, but if a specific organ is severely damaged and its regenerative ability is suppressed from the outside;

For example, the lungs are regenerative enough for trolls, and they must be repaired in a short period of time, otherwise they will face real death.

But the higher salamander is different, it can regenerate in a short time, but it does not have to be regenerated in a short time....

This is because when its regeneration is blocked, the rest of the existing cells will take over the basic functions of the lungs, giving the body more, if not endless, time to repair itself.

This phenomenon is also reflected in the cave wolf;

According to limited observations, although the cave wolf is not comparable to the higher salamander in terms of regeneration, the difference between the two is mainly reflected in the 'regeneration speed' based on racial talent (guesses, inferences), rather than the 'health intensity';

In terms of cell function, it also shows a 'model lake' tendency.

This is the most direct reason for the difference between first-order trolls, second-order elves, or Nesta, who has reached the third order at this time, and the difference between them and high-level salamanders in terms of regeneration ability, and it is also one of the most important reasons why their health strength cannot be comparable to the former.

Based on this, although there are only three individuals and two races in the sample, Nesta has basically determined the reason for the essential difference in 'regenerative ability', and has further seen the corner of the physical evolution direction of higher organisms, and has some imagination a little further away.

The next step of the 'modular lake' may be to complete the all-round, cell-level functional integration? Individual 'consciousness' is the convergence and dominant expression of all cells in the body.

There is no longer a distinction between blood cells, muscle cells, etc., and each cell will be an all-rounder from thinking to supplying energy;

For example, the cells that make up hair are exactly the same as the cells that make up the heart, or maybe the fingernails can also breathe on their own, and even a series of subsequent nutrient transformation activities, if they really need to breathe at that time.

As for the rest of it, it's more of a guess based on imagination....

For example, in the end, it may be possible to achieve the 'trinity' of information, matter, and energy, and they will no longer be distinguished from each other, but can be freely transformed into each other according to the situation.....

Of course, this is only his guess, and it is already the end of his imagination at this stage, whether it is true or not is unknown, only a little bit of correlation is seen in the higher creatures.

The unknown means of self-energy supply of the higher salamanders is not yet something they can explore, but the witch doctors have clarified the leading role of the 'nucleus' in this process through separation experiments, but based on its unprecedented strength structure, there is no means for further observation for the time being.

However, its nucleus has undoubtedly achieved a full range of replication capabilities from cell structure, to different cell biases, to higher overall functionality, and in a sense, this is not a manifestation of 'information';

As the carrier of the above two functions, if the nucleus itself has materiality, if it can make further progress in energy utilization, spirit and information, then means such as blood regeneration and hair doppelganger may not be able to be achieved.

If we can go one step further and continue to simplify the rest of the functional structures in a single cell except for the nuclear body, then the high-energy and high-nutrient cell fluid, cell membrane, and even the cell itself will no longer have the meaning of existence, and the structure of various organs will no longer need to be maintained, so that the 'complete body' will become something that can and may not be without.

Again*3 Further, the material, spiritual, and information are truly transformed into each other....

If you can really do it, it will be no different from the 'gods' in the previous life, right?

There are still too many things that I can't think about and can't understand.

For example, what does the body look like, and will it be made up of tiny nuclei scattered from the mind? But how is the sense of the Lord preserved?

For example, in what form will energy exist?

For another example, what is the way to realize the imaginary 'Trinity' at the level of 'Shenyuan'.....

The high-level salamander is far from being so miraculous, and I don't know if this guy hasn't evolved in place, or if this idea is just delusional at all?

But one thing is clear, at a time when the conversion rate of totipotent cells in our own body is less than 0.1%, these are still valuable but somewhat overly forward-looking thoughts, and do not require an immediate and definitive answer.

But this does not mean that they are 'too ambitious', at least this reflection and research has clarified the super vitality of higher creatures, and urged the headquarters to make a decision to 'limit' and 'continuously weaken', so as to prevent them from being trapped and ascending to heaven one day.
