"Parasites and obstructors of civilization?"
A long, long time ago, there was such a legend.
There was a group of creatures whose 'civilization track' had been set.
They only needed to follow the set 'track,' and their civilization would become stronger and stronger.
Unlike other civilizations, which needed to explore on their own, they would 'automatically' learn all kinds of technology.
It was as if the entire civilization had been designed, and it was said that they would be very powerful in the end.
But it was not clear how powerful they would be.
And this civilization referred to the nail-biters.
They were a designed civilization, so they could develop even in the void where there was almost nothing.
This kind of civilization had a lot of 'unlocks'. As long as they came into contact with certain substances or encountered certain things, they would 'unlock' some effects as if they were awakened.
These effects included them suddenly learning certain techniques, suddenly knowing how to make certain things, or suddenly knowing what was in a certain place in the Void.
Just like lifespan, they could unlock a lot of things, and this kind of unlocking would also make the whole civilization grow rapidly.
This kind of civilization must have been designed by its designer for some special purpose.
Maybe they would want to use it for war in the future, or for special things.
And the parasites were here to destroy this kind of designed civilization.
They had been parasitic on this civilization since a long time ago, and continued to influence them in all kinds of ways.
Under their influence, the nail-biters had completely broken away from the original 'track' that had been set.
They could have unlocked a lot of things and grown rapidly, but now they had unlocked nothing except their lifespan.
Even the whole civilization was controlled by the parasites.
The 'random death' that the parasites had created at the beginning was actually for them to unlock.
Generally speaking, the nail-biters would be unlocked when they came into contact with something, and this unlocking phenomenon was that they suddenly had a new memory in their minds.
This memory was the content of the unlock, and it was usually technical information or something.
But this kind of unlocking content would not spread throughout the race, only one individual would know, and it could not be repeated.
For example, if there was a stone that could unlock some technical information, only the first nail-biter who came into contact with the stone could unlock it.
The nail-biters who came into contact with the stone later would not have any information in their minds.
In that case, if a Denizen suddenly became very intelligent and invented many things, it did not mean that it was a 'genius', but that it had come into contact with certain things and unlocked certain information.
Of course, the other nailed people still thought that it was a genius, but in fact, it didn't even know that it was unlocked by it.
It would think that he had invented it and that he had suddenly become smarter. That was all.
This was very easy for the parasite.
As soon as it found out that a nailed citizen had unlocked a new content, it would immediately kill him, so that he wouldn't even have the chance to invent anything.
This was the truth behind 'random death'.
Almost none of the nailed people could successfully use the unlocked content.
Only the lifespan was unlocked, and the parasite couldn't stop it.
Because they can be unlocked repeatedly.
Of course, there was no need for the parasites to unlock the lifespan. The main thing was that the parasites wanted to control the civilization.
Of course, it would develop according to its plan.
It did not necessarily kill the nailed people who had been unlocked. Sometimes, it would modify the unlocked memories in their minds and let them create something they wanted to create.
But at some point, something happened to this control.
That was when he encountered pain energy.
These nailed people used pain energy as an immune system to solve the problem of the parasite microbes in their bodies.
In this situation of losing control, the parasite immediately used another way to control their minds.
In fact, the nailed people's dream network was created by the parasite.
This dream network technology was unlocked by the nailed people after they came into contact with something.
The parasite also immediately noticed that they had unlocked this technology, so it immediately affected the mind of the nailed person who had unlocked the technology.
Mainly, it modified the memory of this technology.
Then, this nailed person still invented the dream network technology, but the 'content' inside was a little different.
The dream network it invented allowed the parasite to easily 'lurk' inside.
At first, it had wanted to control this group of nailed people through both their minds and their bodies.
Although it could have used microbes to modify the nailed people's brains, this was a more complicated operation.
It couldn't control the minds of many nailed people at the same time through this.
With the dream network, the parasite believed that it could control all the nailed people at the same time.
And after the nailed people came into contact with pain energy, the dream network became the only way for the parasite to control the nailed people.
At first, the parasite was very worried.
Because not every nailed person was connected to the dream at all times, it couldn't control every nailed person at all times.
In this way, it couldn't stop the nailed people from unlocking something at all times.
In addition, the nailed people later used small crystals to protect their minds, making it difficult for the parasite to invade their minds.
In this way, the parasite almost completely lost control of this population.
However, the parasite soon found an interesting situation.
The nailed people used pain energy to protect themselves, which made it impossible for the parasite to unlock.
When the nailed people came into contact with something that could unlock information, the pain energy in their bodies would affect it, so they wouldn't generate memories in their minds.
Although they used pain energy to fight against the parasite, it prevented them from unlocking.
Of course, the nailed people didn't notice this situation themselves. They always thought that pain energy was very useful.
And the parasite planned to use the nailed people to study pain energy.
So it always supported the nailed people to use pain crystals.
In long-term research, the parasite understood the characteristics of pain energy.
It knew that pain energy should be related to the Bus creature.
The essence of pain energy was very similar to the Bus's' mind '.
To be precise, it was the 'energy' half of the mind, because part of the Bus creature's nervous system was made of 'real matter', and the other part was transmitting energy.
The parasite planned to absorb all the pain energy.
