Perhaps … the 'Unification Jar' that was first discovered wasn't the earliest one.
Beliefs and thoughts may have been popular in the Void since a long time ago, and the Jar of Unity was only the first generation of them.
This belief spread through the Void in a strange way, and now it had reached Ershi.
Ershi had been paying attention to these creatures for a long time. The most interesting thing about them was that they did not use pheromones, brainwaves, or any other method to connect their thoughts. They relied entirely on their senses, similar to Ershi Min's, to achieve cooperation.
Moreover, their memories, thoughts, and personalities were almost exactly the same …
Ershi was very interested in their situation, so he had been investigating them.
At the time, these creatures called themselves the 'collective of beliefs'.
Of course, that was the name Ershi came up with. In fact, they called themselves the 'only one'.
However, Ershi liked to call themselves the collective of beliefs.
Lin also thought that it was better to call them collective.
In short … after this group of creatures with individual personalities became so unified, they became very powerful.
They could easily form a large number of groups to defeat their competitors. Their perfect cooperation made it difficult for other creatures to resist them in battle.
Ershi also realized that this time was different from before.
Whether it was the Jar of Unity or the supercomputer, these creatures did not live for long. They would rather die slowly after they spoke.
However, these creatures on Ershi did not show any signs of extinction. Instead, they became stronger and stronger.
It seemed that they were going to develop into a new generation of powerful civilization on Ershi.
Ershi also said that if these creatures were allowed to develop, the history of the creatures on Ershi might have been very different.
However … these creatures did not develop for long, but they did not die because of themselves.
This was mainly Ershi's doing.
Ershi had an idea at the time. He felt that … these creatures could be 'separated'.
Although they seemed to be unified, they were different from the traditional division of labor. These creatures' minds were not connected.
Most division of labor species had simple brain structures. In other words, they were only considered a 'brain' when the entire group was put together.
Or, there might be a single 'Brain Worm' like commander that was commanding ordinary individuals.
And these creatures all had complete brains.
When every cub was born, it actually had its own personality … But after it observed the behavior of the 'elders' around it, the cub's thoughts would slowly assimilate with them, becoming exactly the same as them.
Thus, Ershi began to experiment in this direction. Its main purpose was to add some doubt to the growing cubs.
When they grew up, although they would do things with their own kind, they would doubt why they were doing it.
At the same time, they would also develop some selfish desires and so on.
Ershi would also input some … thoughts into the adult creatures, causing them to have different thoughts compared to the creatures around them.
However, Ershi also discovered that it was rather difficult to influence an adult through communication. When an adult discovered something new, they would immediately share it with their companions.
However, Ershi also realized that these creatures did not have strong descriptive abilities.
They had some language, and at the same time, they could also use their body language to convey various information.
They could accurately describe various things in their surroundings. Even when they saw something new, they would immediately collectively confirm the situation and give it a new name.
Simply put, when one of them obtained any information, they would definitely share it with their own kind. This way, they would maintain 'synchronization' in their minds.
What Ershi wanted to do was to give them something that they could not describe at all.
For example, it could tell an individual about the Void, galaxies, stars and so on.
These individuals could not describe these things to their own kind, nor could they bring their own kind to see these things together.
They could only keep these things in their minds, and then the individual's thoughts …
Slowly, they would become out of sync with their own kind.
They would also develop many new emotions, mainly the idea of 'self'.
In this situation, the individual would slowly become unable to cooperate perfectly with its own kind because it would constantly doubt the information in its mind.
Ershi only discovered this after doing this.
As long as the individual's thoughts … or to be precise, their memories were different, they would develop a series of emotions such as doubt and doubt.
Their memories had to be exactly the same in order for them to not have any 'self'.
Ershi did not understand why this happened at the time, but … this situation made Ershi feel very interesting.
Later, after Ershi had so many of them … the unity of the entire group of creatures naturally collapsed.
They slowly began to regain their individuality, and each individual's thoughts became different from their own kind.
There were too many individuals with individuality, and the originally unified individuals began to fight with the individuality ones.
But when the unified individuals fought with the individuality ones, they also developed feelings of doubt and 'self'.
Later, they almost completely regained their individuality.
The collective thought that they had manifested before also disappeared when the entire group of creatures regained their individuality.
After these creatures regained their individuality, they fought and fought with each other like other individuality creatures … and finally died.
There was nothing special about this.
The main thing was that Ershi seemed to have purposely made the collective belief disappear this time.
Of course, the collective belief did not disappear because of this.
It just did not appear on Ershi anymore, and only appeared in other galaxies.
At the same time, Ershi had never seen such a strange form like this group of creatures … a form that could unify their thoughts with just their five senses.
But the collective belief continued to appear.
To be precise, the collective belief was rarely seen.
Although many individuality creatures had the same belief, very few individuality creatures could create a collective belief.
These collective beliefs that were occasionally born … did not last long.
Most of them were like the Jar of Unity and the computer. They did not continue to develop and died very quickly.
Later on, from a certain point of time … Er Sh had never seen this group of Unified Believers again.
He did not know why the collective belief suddenly disappeared.
Of course, the collective belief never appeared again.
Until … now.
