On the endless blue and smooth sea surface, a small figure passed by at high speed.
"Hehe ~ A planet without multicellular organisms but with an ocean is really rare. I don't know how long it took to find such a place. Now I can finally enjoy being the creator ~ although it's just throwing in some primitive cells from Earth."
This figure has short blonde hair and a cute face. It looks like a little loli. She stopped on the sea surface and waved her hand gently. A large amount of water droplet-like objects dripped into the sea.
"Then add a little bit of my knowledge in one of these cells ~ and consciousness ~"
"Ah, yes, there's also this. If there's only eye, then it's the same as not being able to see anything. That's too pitiful ~ with this, it can display the vision of a normal human eye, even if it's a single cell."
She sprinkled some powdery objects into the sea.
"Sharine, let's go ~"
A voice came from the sky, causing the loli to be slightly stunned.
"I know, I'll come."
She casually replied, then looked at the sea again and said: "Then I'll go, I'll visit you guys again in the future."
"I'm really looking forward to it, what will it evolve into?"
With that, the little loli's body slowly floated up, then turned into a ray of light and disappeared under the starry sky.
"Where is this, who am I?"
This was its first thought. It has consciousness and sense of touch, but no sense of sight or smell. It only knows that it is in a liquid.
This liquid seems to be called water.
"I am called a cell."
It doesn't have a brain, but it knows what kind of shape its body is. A thin circular membrane, in the center of the membrane, there is a complex and precise structure called the core. Because of the existence of this core, it can think, move, and have life.
However, its thinking is limited to this, such a small core cannot allow it to think too much.
"Move and search."
It controlled the outer layer of the membrane, and the outer layer suddenly swayed like a wave. This action allows it to slowly swim in the water, looking for a target in the endless darkness.
Food.
Food is equivalent to energy. With energy, it has more knowledge, a bigger body, it can think more.
It kept swimming, and suddenly it felt that its outer layer came into contact with something.
It tried its best to identify what the object was, but other than the only information it could gather, there was nothing else. Thus, this was the only way to further understand what the object was.
It slowly surrounded the object with a thin film and swallowed it into the thin film.
It could feel that the object in its body was slowly shrinking and finally disappearing. At the same time, it could feel that its body was slowly changing. The thin membrane around its body was slowly strengthening and expanding.
This activity only lasted for a short while before it disappeared, but this feeling of incomparable fullness already let it know that
That was food. We have to get more food.
It quickly swung the outer layer of the membrane. Soon, it came into contact with the same object again, and it quickly swallowed it again.
It was the same feeling as before. The thing that it had swallowed was slowly shrinking. This time, it thought of a word.
This is called digestion.
After swallowing two pieces of food in a row, its body became slightly bigger and stronger. Its speed also increased. All of this meant that it could find more food and obtain more energy.
Swallow, swallow, swallow.
It had almost devoured all the soft things around it, and its body had almost swelled up by a large circle.
However, it was still not satisfied. It kept swimming in the water, trying to swallow more food.
When it swallowed the next piece of food, its body seemed to have swelled to its limit. After it completely digested the food again, it did not continue to increase in size. Instead, it slowly split with its core as the center, and then completely split.
It finally became two bodies that were exactly the same. They had the same circular membrane and the same core. It had completely split into two.
However, its consciousness did not split into two.
Even though it had split into two cells, it still felt that they were like its own body. It could control these two bodies at will, just like how it controlled its hands.
"What are hands?"
Its thoughts seemed to have become richer. The double nuclei gave it more ability to think, but at the same time, it also had more questions.
"Speaking of which, who am I?"
"I should have a name."
"And this name is …"
"Lin."
It did not know why, but this was the only word in its mind.
"Then let's call it this. Lin feels good."
Lin continued to move forward. The two cells slowly swam in the water, collecting food.
This meant that it had higher intelligence, more bodies, and more power.
Because Lin now had two cells, it collected and found food more efficiently and quickly. Soon, it let one of the cells eat enough food to enter the stage of division.
When the cell had fully split, it meant that Lin now had three bodies. Three identical cells, representing Lin's existence.
Lin could completely control them. Although the three cells were not connected, commanding them was not as difficult as commanding a single body. In fact, it felt much easier.
Following that, more questions arose in Lin's mind. It was able to think about more things, and it soon discovered the biggest problem.
Darkness.
Indeed, it was unable to observe its surroundings. Although it could sense that it was surrounded by liquid, it was unable to observe the situation in detail. Because of that, everything around it was nothing but endless darkness for Lin.
"Eyes."
This word appeared in Lin's mind, but it was unable to understand it any further.
In order to understand this word, Lin tried to devour more food, but the soft food around it seemed to have already been eaten, so it decided to swim further away.
The three tiny cells that shared a common consciousness began their journey.
“”
Suddenly, Lin noticed that the cell at the very front seemed to have touched something. Unlike the soft food from before, this thing was extremely hard, but smaller than the food from before.
Unable to analyze what it was, Lin had one of the cells swallow the hard thing.
"Seems like it can't be digested."
The hard thing inside one of Lin's cells showed no signs of shrinking and simply floated inside the cell's membrane.
Seems like it's useless.
Lin didn't care too much and continued to search for other food.
She found a lot of similar soft things around here, but no hard things.
Continuing to devour, one of Lin's cells was once again filled with energy and split.
This time, Lin had four cells, but it still felt like it wasn't enough, so it continued.
When the number of cells reached five, Lin's previous thoughts appeared again.
I want to see.
I want to see everything outside, I don't want the darkness.
When its thoughts reached a certain point, the core of the cell that had just eaten the hard thing trembled slightly.
A tentacle-like object reached out from the core of the cell, lightly touched the hard thing and slowly pushed it to the surface of the cell's membrane.
When the hard thing was slightly exposed from the cell's membrane, an intense light broke through the darkness and entered Lin's thoughts.
