"They are devourers of intelligence, they will eat the intelligence I spread …"
That was how the God of Spheres commented on this species that looked like a sweet potato and was called a 'brain-root' by Lin.
However, it did not have much of an opinion about this species.
Perhaps it was because … it would return the intelligence it devoured.
Brain-Root creatures had always been attacking creatures that were gaining intelligence.
It had a very powerful … detection ability. It could instantly detect what species were gaining intelligence nearby, and at the same time … it would immediately generate a large amount of poisonous gas in its body that targeted the nervous system and thinking structure of the creature.
Every time it killed a creature, the brain-root would attack more creatures nearby until it killed all the creatures in the area.
Then … it would fall into a deep sleep.
At some point, the sleeping brain-root was discovered by a civilization.
Just like how Ershi Min discovered the sweet potato, the civilization also treated brain-root as a food, but they soon discovered the magical effect of brain-root.
That was, after eating it, there would be an obvious increase in intelligence.
A slow-witted person might become a genius in a few days. It was said that many geniuses in the history of civilization, those inventors, and so on had all eaten brain-root.
Therefore, when the power of brain-root was spread, brain-root was met with disaster. All kinds of civilization … as long as it was a creature that could digest brain-root, they would try to find brain-root.
Even if they could not digest brain-root, they would try various methods to extract the essence of brain-root for their own use.
Brain-Root was not a cellular organism, but its composition could indeed be digested by many species on the God of Spheres.
This was a very strange thing.
Because the intelligence spread by the God of Spheres was only targeted at some 'primitive creatures' whose intelligence had not yet developed, the God of Spheres would not make creatures with intelligent civilizations smarter.
However, brain-root could make intelligent species more intelligent, thus creating countless geniuses.
Brain-Root became extremely popular among all kinds of civilizations. Many species also discovered that the bigger the brain-root, the more effective it was, so these species began to breed brain-root.
But because they did not know what brain-root ate … their breeding had never been effective, so they could only dig up wild ones.
At that time, there were countless stories related to brain-root … all kinds of species used brain-root to trade, and many merchants used all kinds of other things to pretend to be brain-root, and some tried to stuff all kinds of fillers to make brain-root look bigger.
Slowly … the number of wild brain-root became fewer and fewer, almost completely disappearing.
But in reality, they were not completely extinct.
In the era of civilization that fought against the ancient battleships, there were still a small number of brain roots left.
They were usually kept by the upper echelons of various civilizations. As there were very few of them, no one would trade them.
As for these higher-ups, they didn't even think about it.
Because brain roots were generally most effective when eaten at a young age, many civilizations had customized plans based on brain roots.
This plan could be called the 'Genius Salvation Plan'.
When their civilization encountered a greater crisis, they would take out the stored brain roots, choose a child, and let it eat the brain root.
This was equivalent to creating a genius. Then, the civilization would focus on nurturing the genius … and let the genius lead the civilization out of danger.
This was because many heroes and geniuses in the history of civilizations in the past had eaten their brains.
For the various civilizations, this was a very good way to protect their civilization.
But … things didn't go according to plan.
When the ancient battleships first appeared, many civilizations produced their first geniuses.
However, before this genius could do anything, the ancient battleship left.
Later on, these civilizations competed with each other to deal with the ancient battleships.
They produced many geniuses in this era because … the geniuses of the previous generation were kidnapped.
Every time the ancient battleship came to kidnap people, there would always be geniuses nurtured by these civilizations.
Not only did it kidnap geniuses, but it also kidnapped many ordinary people.
But the strange thing was, of all the people it kidnapped, only the geniuses could be sucked into the ancient battleship alive. The other people were all killed by the missiles on the way.
When the geniuses of a civilization were kidnapped, they would be very frightened. They didn't know that the geniuses of other civilizations were also kidnapped.
They all thought that the geniuses of other civilizations were still around. If this continued, their civilization would soon be surpassed by other civilizations.
Therefore, they immediately nurtured the next genius.
As a result, every time the ancient battleship came, it would kidnap all the geniuses. Then, these civilizations would continue to nurture geniuses.
In the end, all the stored brain roots were used up, and these civilizations couldn't nurture any more geniuses.
However, that was also when the ancient battleship was shot down.
…
This period of history … was quite interesting.
Lin didn't know about these things before.
This was also something that Lin found out after examining the situation of most of the creatures here.
These creatures were all geniuses who had been kidnapped by the ancient battleship throughout history.
They were all very young, and they also had a special characteristic, which was that their thinking structure was very developed. They were about 10% stronger than their peers.
