A long, long time ago, in a certain world …
There was such a group of creatures, very ancient creatures.
Like other creatures in this world, they fought to maintain their lives here. Because of the continuation of life, their bodies also evolved.
Like other creatures, they became stronger and stronger.
However, they were not natives of this world. They came from a very distant place, but they did not know where they came from.
They had a lot in common with the creatures in this world. Their bodies were made of flesh and blood. This world was full of such creatures.
There was a special saying about the existence of flesh and blood creatures. The reason these creatures were widespread was because something deliberately 'spread' them.
This was their future research. At present, they did not know anything and did not know how to classify creatures. They just lived like most creatures in this world.
They also did not know that their brains were somewhat special.
In their brains, there was a special kind of energy. This energy connected their thoughts and allowed them to meet in another world when they were asleep.
Therefore, this ability was also known as dream energy. Because of the connection of their thoughts, they slowly found that they had an advantage over other creatures. Every individual in their group gathered their will and formed a single consciousness.
Under the command of the collective will, they formed an unstoppable army and destroyed any opponents who dared to resist them.
Of course, although they were almost invincible, every battle was not without losses. This army with a common brain would also have countless casualties in various battles.
However, they would quickly replenish the number of deaths, and they would not feel sad for the dead. Therefore, the death of an individual was only considered as an 'injury' to them.
They would not die. This was what they thought at the time. Therefore, the countless corpses of their kind left behind in every battle. They would not care.
At that time, they did not notice that those corpses were actually … not completely dead, unless they were severely injured in the brain. Most of the individuals whose brains were not damaged in the battle. The speed of death was quite slow.
Even if their body functions stopped one by one, their brain could still live without any nourishment for about ten days and nights.
And these individuals who were slowly dying … The energy in their brains had not dissipated. The dream energy was still lingering in their brains. Although the energy was still there, they were disconnected from the collective consciousness. They could only accompany the falling bodies as they slowly died …
However, not every group of energy was like this.
Occasionally, some creatures would appear on the swept battlefield.
These creatures were scavengers, and the mountains of corpses in front of them were top-notch food that emitted a wonderful fragrance. Therefore, these creatures quickly rushed into the battlefield and gorged themselves.
Scavengers didn't care if the body was completely dead or not, so those whose brains weren't completely dead would also be eaten.
When the flesh and blood made up of cells was completely digested, the energy in the brain would not dissipate. Occasionally, it would move to a new brain … the brain of a scavenger.
Then. Continue to live there.
These energies would occasionally move into the brains of various creatures due to various circumstances. They had to live in the brain in order to survive.
At some point in time, a small group of energy obtained a special opportunity and moved into the brains of a group of creatures with higher intelligence.
When these parasitic creatures had rich thoughts, the energy in their brains would also receive these thoughts.
Over time, these energies had their own thoughts, their own will, their own … everything.
They began to wonder, and they began to think about all kinds of questions, just like a highly intelligent creature. They were thinking … Where did they come from?
They also had a suitable name for themselves — Brain Spirits.
Brain Spirits didn't know that they were born from the corpses of another species. They were originally one with that creature, but after that creature's undead body was eaten by other creatures. The dream energy within had also been transferred to other creatures, and slowly formed into creatures like brain spirits.
Perhaps from this point onwards, Brain Spirits were considered a 'type' of creature, and the original type of creature should be called Origin Spirits.
They were the source of Brain Spirits' birth. Origin Spirits didn't know at that time … After the corpses of their species were eaten by other creatures, the energy in their brains would be parasitized into the brains of the creatures that ate the corpses.
Just like that. When Origin Spirits were fighting everywhere, they unknowingly created many Brain Spirits.
After these Brain Spirits became pure parasitic energy, their way of life became very different from the Origin Spirits … First, the Origin Spirits had the will of a group, but the Brain Spirits did not, unless they were in close contact. For example, if two Brain Spirits were in the same brain, then they would show the same thought.
But it was only similar thoughts … it wasn't a true group consciousness.
Most importantly, the brain spirit didn't know anything about the Origin Spirits. Perhaps the energy of the brain spirit was originally connected to the collective consciousness of all the Origin Spirits, but after separating itself, the brain spirit didn't have any memories of the past.
That was why Brain Spirits would think about how they were born …
Origin Spirits, on the other hand, didn't care about this.
They continued to expand their population. The other species in this world, the Brain Spirits that parasitized the brains of other creatures, all saw Origin Spirits as a symbol of destruction.
Origin Spirits started to create all kinds of things during their invasion. The reason they created things was because they were attacked by a group of creatures that used things during their invasion.
These creatures made Origin Spirits pay a high price, so Origin Spirits thought they could imitate their methods …
Once they started to research, Origin Spirits didn't stop. They started to use normal rocks, and soon changed to metal. The other creatures in this world couldn't fight back anymore.
As their research and construction technology improved, Origin Spirits also discovered Brain Spirits. They found that Brain Spirits lived in the … brains of other creatures, and also in some rocks.
Origin Spirits didn't know that Brain Spirits were related to them. They only captured Brain Spirits for research while continuing to attack other creatures in this world.
However, they didn't achieve the goal of 'ruling the world' in the end.
Because Origin Spirits realized that a huge … disaster would happen in this world at some point.
Therefore, they found a way to quickly leave this world. Many Brain Spirits and other creatures in that world … stayed there.
The Brain Spirits that stayed there started their own lives, but what about the Origin Spirits that left?
Of course, they continued their lives, but the initial stage of life in the Void was always more difficult. Resources and all kinds of things were relatively lacking.
Therefore, Origin Spirits lived in the Void for a long time without any 'growth'. In the process of living, they floated to faraway places and didn't know how to return to their original world.
However, they also found a new way of life.
The Origin Spirits quickly researched the technology related to dreams and … the technology of micro machines. After the development of micro machines, their lives in the Void became easier and easier.
In the process of living, Origin Spirits encountered many things … These things made them continuously strengthen their machine technology.
Later, when they added dream energy to the control technology of machines … these machines began to have … consciousness.
The micro-machines began to frantically disintegrate everything, including everything they had built for Origin Spirits and … all Origin Spirits.
They were all disintegrated under the attacks of these machines.
Compared to other branching species, Origin Spirits' community wasn't as large, so their destruction didn't take … too long.
Under the attacks of the micro-machines, the last small group of Origin Spirits escaped to a place.
There were countless floating rocks in this place. It was a rather wondrous place … Although they had never seen it before, they didn't have the time to appreciate it.
Origin Spirits hid in a place and used the latest technology to hide so that the micro-machines couldn't find that place.
However, the micro-machines didn't leave just because they couldn't find it. They gathered in the center of the floating rock world and formed a large object that looked like a cloud of black fog.
After discovering this, the Origin Spirits began to carry out their plan.
Their plan was simple, which was to get rid of those machines and then revive their community.
For this, they needed to create a new type of machine, a special machine that could also think. They wanted to use this to deal with the micro-machines.
At the same time, while carrying out this plan, the last remaining Origin Spirits used a certain method to 'seal' themselves. After everything was over, they planned to show themselves.
Why? No other creatures knew what they were thinking, not even the machines they created.
However, this plan didn't seem to be realized in the end … due to various problems.
There was another question … what were they doing? It was those micro-machines.
They didn't chase after the remaining Origin Spirits. Instead, they gathered in the center of this place and did … something else.
They seemed to have forgotten about the Origin Spirits and started their own lives. However, what was the life of these micro-machines like?
The Origin Spirits who had lived here for a long time seemed to be able to answer this question. (To be continued.)
