They only believed in their own theories.
Therefore, they were always at war.
They couldn't end it on their own.
Only an external force could stop this endless war.
This external force was the 'Decline Virus'.
A virus that existed on the ancient land for some unknown reason ….
Because of their curiosity and exploration of the land, a group of Dark Algae were infected with the virus and spread it throughout the ocean.
Like a plague, this virus had a destructive power.
Although the Dark Algae group had dealt with countless viruses and ancient fungi in the sea, they had no resistance to this virus.
The virus wouldn't kill them, it would only make them …. decline.
Although the Dark Algae weren't multicellular organisms, they had an extremely developed nervous system, which was why they could …. make a lot of complicated thoughts.
But under the infection of this virus, their nervous system began to decline rapidly.
Their nervous systems seemed to have evolved in reverse, from complex to simpler and more primitive.
At first, the Dark Algae could notice their decline, but slowly …. they didn't even have enough intelligence to notice their decline.
Many Dark Algae groups noticed the decline of other groups. They didn't know the reason at first and thought it was a good opportunity, so they immediately launched an attack. As a result, they were also infected …. and entered the decline stage.
Some Dark Algae that knew the reason tried to stay away from their own kind and looked for ways to fight the virus and study it.
They also created a set of theories to analyze the characteristics of the virus and how it appeared and so on.
Many uninfected Dark Algae tried to study the virus, but the war still didn't stop at this time.
Because when the uninfected Dark Algae groups encountered each other, they often felt that the other party's theories about the virus were wrong.
Then these two groups would fight. Each group thought their theory was right and they could deal with the virus.
They didn't think of cooperating …. never.
The moment this species was born, there was no time for peace between different consciousnesses.
Even if there were some Dark Algae that didn't like to fight in history, they only wanted to use their own theories to convince their own kind, rather than complementing each other's mistakes.
As a result, the small number of survivors who were not infected with the virus also perished in the battle.
As for the infected groups …. they were still alive.
Without enough intelligence to think about various theories, of course, they wouldn't fight anymore.
The complex neural structure degenerated into simple ganglia, and the huge Dark Algae group couldn't maintain the previous group consciousness and slowly died.
Only a few of the Dark Algae survived.
They were the ones that stayed in the 'biological weapons' they created.
Many of the Dark Algae had once created all kinds of biological weapons. These creatures were usually created using suitable fungus, and the Dark Algae stayed in the center to act as the commander.
After their nerves began to deteriorate, these dark algae were able to survive by staying inside the weapon. Furthermore, their nerves had not completely disappeared, so they could still send some simple commands to command the biological weapon to find food.
Thus, they survived. After a long life, the Dark Algae had already mixed with the biological weapons they rode on and became … the same species.
According to speculation, these biological weapons later became the most ancient … multicellular organisms with neural structures.
Then, they slowly evolved into some of the creatures on Ershi, such as … the octopus.
There were many Ershi Min legends that said that in ancient times, the 'brain' was a parasite of the 'body'. It slowly took control of the body and eventually evolved into a creature.
However, this was only a guess. The real situation had not been recorded.
After all, after the decline, there were no longer any Dark Algae that could maintain their intelligence and live on Ershi.
Then was the story of the Dark Algae over?
It was not over.
Although they did not continue to live on Ershi, they continued to live in some other places.
The Dark Algae did not completely die out. During the decline, some groups found a way to escape the virus and started to travel around the world.
They wanted to find a safe place, a place where there were no warlike species and no viruses.
Dark Algae usually lived in water at depths of more than 100 meters. Therefore, this group of Dark Algae began to move deeper into the water, trying to find a place where there was no danger.
They believed in some of the theories and legends that they had imagined. They believed that there must be a place suitable for them to live.
In the process of their search, they went to the deep ocean. They created some 'armor' that allowed them to come into contact with various environments that were not suitable for them.
In the end, they found … light in the deep ocean.
Through that light, they went to a mysterious place. This place … was also like the ocean, but there was nothing.
To be precise, there were no creatures … no other species, no commonly seen ancient fungi. It was an empty place.
However, there were many nutrients that could allow them to live for a very long time.
They believed that they had realized their idea, so they stayed here and lived.
They began to imagine. Just like before, when the Dark Algae were free, they continued to imagine.
They gave theories to the various phenomena of this new world, thought about the meaning of life, and thought about the warlike nature of their species.
This place seemed to have infinite space and time, giving them unlimited imagination.
But this time, they did not just imagine.
They began to experiment with some ideas, and they began to try to create tools … and various things to experiment with.
In this world where there was no war, they carried out countless imaginings and experiments.
Although there were no other creatures, some experiments could not be completed, so they used … themselves to experiment.
But this was a wrong decision.
After all, the Dark Algae were a species that could 'split consciousness.'
When a group was split in half, their consciousness would also be split in half.
At first, it was fine because their theories were the same and they could coexist peacefully for a period of time.
But after a long time, the theoretical thinking of the two consciousnesses would deviate, and then they would criticize each other's mistakes and …
They would fight again.
Even if it was a group that was not warlike, after they split, they would have different consciousnesses.
Some of their experiments … led to the separation of the group.
It also led to the creation of new consciousnesses.
It was just that this war was being fought in … a very interesting environment.
