"This creature … seems to be it?"
When the creature from the pocket dimension came out … Ershi seemed to recognize it.
It was … that creature.
Mentioning it was a reference to … a certain time in the past.
A long, long time ago, Ershi had tried to find … a creature like itself.
Although it had many creatures, none of them were the same as Ershi himself. Thus, it began a large-scale search in the Void.
Not long after, Ershi found a creature.
This creature was the one that appeared now.
Ershi called this creature a 'collective of beliefs'.
It was essentially a sub-species that was transformed from a creature of individuality. According to Ershi, its origin was … a group of fanatical individuality creatures.
The fanaticism of this group of individuality creatures was mainly reflected in their beliefs, a belief known as' unity '.
Generally speaking, individuality creatures would place their individual interests above the group. Countless conflicts and wars between their own kind would occur because of this.
This group of creatures was also a group of individuality creatures, and they hated the act of fighting among their own kind.
Although they all had individuality, they liked to act as a group. Almost everything they did was done as a group … whether it was daily life or large-scale activities.
If any of them tried to hide a secret, or tried to obtain more food than their own kind, that individual would be executed immediately.
Everything had to be made public, and everything had to be distributed reasonably. All selfish desires were forbidden.
They did not have a manager or a ruler. All of this was based on mutual supervision between individuals.
Although there were still some greedy individuals among them, the group as a whole was extremely unified. Almost every individual would not try to obtain more after obtaining enough resources. At the same time, they would actively kill their own kind who tried to obtain more resources.
This race fanatically believed in unity, and worshipped unity …
But they believed that this was not enough. No matter how much individuality creatures worshipped unity, they could not be like a division of labor type species.
They desperately wanted to be like a division of labor type species, linking their minds together. They continued to … research on this aspect of technology.
Later on, they did research on a certain wonderful technology.
What this technology did was to … cut open their brains, and then mix up their thinking structure and install it in a device. This way, their entire race's thinking could be unified.
Because this group of creatures' thinking structure was liquid, they could do that.
So when everything was ready, this group of creatures committed suicide.
They put their liquid brain tissue into a huge device that could be called the 'Jar of Unity'.
Although it was called a device, the 'Jar of Unity' was not actually made by them. It was an organ of a Void creature.
Their entire species had placed their brains … into this organ.
It seemed like some of the creatures that Lin had encountered before.
However, that wasn't entirely the case for their race.
Some individuals, when the entire race committed suicide, had doubts.
Although they usually showed the same belief and shared consciousness as their kind, when it came to committing suicide as a whole, they still hesitated.
So when almost all of their own kind had committed suicide.
And these few individuals who survived had witnessed the birth of the 'Jar of Unity'.
The 'Jar of Unity' was an organ that no longer had any 'activity', but after fusing with a large amount of biological brain fluid, this organ started to move.
The 'Jar of Unity' began to destroy the civilization buildings of these creatures everywhere. It seemed to be very violent and had no intelligence.
The survivors who committed suicide were very shocked because they had always believed that doing so would unify their thinking.
But they realized that the 'Jar of Unity' was actually in such a state.
So they began to attack the Jar of Unity, but the Jar of Unity … was much more powerful than they had imagined.
Their weapons could only cause very little damage to it, and the number of survivors was too small for them to activate powerful weapons.
Almost everything created by this civilization required the cooperation of a large number of individuals before it could be used.
Apart from showing their admiration for their common thinking, it also made it difficult for those selfish individuals to do anything.
Therefore, this group of survivors could only cause very little damage to the Jar of Unity.
They could only leave some scars on its body and knock off some … meat.
In the end, they took the meat that they had knocked off the Jar of Unity and escaped into the void on an aircraft.
After drifting for a period of time that was not too long or short, these creatures arrived at Ershi's location and landed on Ershi's back.
That was how Ershi recognized these creatures.
So Ershi was very interested in the experiences of these creatures, and it began to investigate the place where these creatures came from.
It was also the place where their civilization was.
According to Ershi's investigation, it found that the city where these creatures lived had turned into ruins.
Ershi also found the Jar of Unity in the ruins.
But this Jar of Unity was not completely without intelligence and was very violent as described by the survivors.
Ershi found that the Jar of Unity was a very talkative creature.
Because when Ershi detected it … it began to think of ways to communicate with it.
And the Jar of Unity responded very positively to Ershi's communication.
Ershi quickly confirmed that it was indeed a combination of a large number of individualistic creatures … a creature with collective thinking.
However, this Jar of Unity did not live for long.
Perhaps it was because it was essentially a biological organ … In short, it aged after living for a while.
Its movements became slower and slower, and finally it died.
But before it died, it told Ershi that its consciousness would continue … to continue.
Later on, its consciousness was indeed as it had said. It had continued to exist.
It could be said that the creatures that appeared later were its descendants.
The way this creature continued its descendants was very interesting.
Because Ershi had never seen it reproduce directly.
Its descendants were all … born from the beliefs of other species.
