"At the beginning of the people, nature was random"
"There was no order, no rules"
"That is the root of everything"
"Everything in the Void is randomly formed"
"Rules of accidental combination, substances of accidental composition …"
…
This was … the Void.
Lin's' velvet claw 'was still floating … above the ruins of the Grand Bridge City.
Not long ago, Lin had taken all the mushroom bricks she could find in the underground streets and brought them into her velvet claw's body.
Here, Lin could clearly detect that the 'consciousness' of the collective faith was constantly being transmitted between the mushroom bricks.
In fact, it was mainly transmitted through the threads created by the mushroom bricks.
Because these mushroom bricks created a large number of threads, the threads that extended from them were actually connected to other mushroom bricks.
This connection allowed them to share nutrients, and the mushroom bricks with more nutrients would transmit nutrients to the mushroom bricks with less nutrients.
The consciousness of the collective was transmitted through these interconnected threads.
The transmission speed was very fast … almost the same as light.
But Lin could detect that this was not a transmission, it was completely moving along the threads.
Lin was currently trying to find a way to stop it from moving, in other words … to trap it inside a mushroom brick and 'extract' it.
However, the research on this special transmission energy of the collective faith's consciousness was still very shallow … it would be difficult to achieve this.
But as long as it remained inside these mushroom bricks and did not leave, Lin would be able to figure it out sooner or later.
At the same time, Lin continued to investigate the interior of this giant bridge.
So far, Lin's troops had reached the 15th floor at the deepest point.
There were no longer any threads coming out from the mushroom bricks here, because this place was not where the mushroom bricks lived.
But Lin found something else interesting here. Although she did not see any living creatures, there were many recording devices left behind by living creatures.
The main residents here were the three-meter-tall creatures that Lin had guessed before … all the passages and rooms were designed according to this size.
There should not be any residents bigger than this … at least, Lin had yet to find one.
The mushroom bricks themselves were also very small. Although they were now more than ten meters tall, they were originally less than one meter tall.
The main reason they were so big was because they were constantly absorbing nutrients.
They were creatures that could continuously grow as long as they had enough nutrients. Originally, when their consciousness was still clear … they would pay attention to their size, but now they could no longer control themselves.
Among the residents on the fifteenth floor, Lin found many … recording tools that they had left behind.
Their method of communication was the same as the 'blood worms', so they should be of the same species.
These recording tools were very similar to … Ershi Min's toaster.
They could be found in many rooms on the fifteenth floor, and their function was to squeeze out some of the blood-like viscous substances stored inside from the top.
Through different operations, different shapes of 'blood' could be squeezed out. By observing the shape of the blood, some information could be obtained.
Because Lin already knew a lot about the language of the blood worms, she was able to obtain a lot of information from these machines.
These machines mainly recorded a series of … events.
It was about the beliefs of these creatures.
They … believed in randomness.
This information was stored in almost all machines. It was a cult of 'randomness'.
They believed that everything in the Void was disorderly, and that everything was … coincidentally put together.
Countless coincidences had formed the current Void, giving birth to every different life form.
Their essence was chaos and disorder.
This was mainly the basic concept of this random sect.
Most of the machines preached this concept. Perhaps they were using these machines to spread this' random belief '.
However, what was the benefit of having a random belief? There was no benefit to having a random belief.
However, it had a special function, and that was … to fight against unity.
Through investigating these machines, Lin was able to find out a lot of relevant information. These three-meter-tall creatures were the main residents of this place, and they had once been 'contaminated' by unity.
Back then, many believers of unity had appeared among them. The initial manifestation of unity was to act in unison, and there was a perfect order. Every individual cooperated perfectly with each other. Countless individuals cooperated with each other, giving them the appearance of a unified and massive consciousness.
Among them, some individuals felt that having a unified belief was not a good thing.
Then, they began to preach the opposite of unity … disorder.
This was quite an interesting feeling.
Perhaps they had also discovered by chance that the more they believed in randomness, the more they would doubt their belief in unity.
When an individual believed that life was random and coincidental, and that order was built upon coincidences …
It would then develop a distrust of the United States.
A group of creatures who did not like unity in the first place discovered this and immediately spread the word about randomness.
In fact, they did not need to spread the word about the benefits of randomness.
They only needed to make other individuals believe … that things were randomly formed.
Creatures with this idea would slowly break away from unity.
Thus, they began to spread the word, mainly using their … various latest research at the time to show that everything in the Void was formed by chance.
Lin found this fascinating. Believing that randomness and unity did not seem to conflict with each other.
However, as long as they believed in randomness, they would break away from the influence of the collective belief.
From the records of the machines, it could be seen that they mainly relied on this method to restore a large number of believers of unity.
They saved the entire population from dying out in unity.
After all, all creatures of unity would commit mass suicide in the end. There were no known exceptions.
The creatures here did not know this, but some individuals felt that it was not good to have a unified belief.
Then, their population did not die out in unity.
Instead, they died out due to randomness.
This seemed to be another … fascinating development.
In the beginning, after they caused a large number of believers to break away from unity, the spread of randomness stopped there.
At the time, they did not spread any belief, but only the 'fact' that things were randomly formed.
But later on, there was a group …
They treated randomness as their belief.
They worshipped chaos, no rules, and a life where they could do whatever they wanted.
