Deep Space Evolution: Clans

Chapter 121 They broke the dilemma

In the following time, Yuan listened to a story.

A story about the struggle of producers and finally, with the dedication of blood relatives of another ethnic group, after a long period of hardship, both of them finally fulfilled each other.

“I don’t know when I first realized I had a problem,” said the Blooming Stage producer.

"In the beginning, my instinct as a producer was to keep increasing myself, because more producers can produce more evolutionary qualities. So I kept multiplying myself, through a unique method of spore proliferation. , I soon spread myself all over this place.”

"But then I painfully discovered that I could not generate evolutionary matter. Even if I had allowed myself to evolve to the prosperous stage, and even if there was still enough evolutionary matter left in my body for me to continue evolving, I still could not generate evolutionary matter. .”

"In my form, the evolutionary qualities I produced should be in the shape of mushrooms. At that time, I naively thought that proliferation was the production of evolutionary qualities, but in fact, the evolutionary qualities they obtained by eating me were all mine. The evolutionary quality that separates when the body divides and multiplies is what it already possesses, rather than the evolutionary quality that is produced."

"I gradually realized that maybe I was incomplete as a producer. So I started looking."

"After thinking for a long time, I definitely left here and took a look. So my mycelium bypassed the rock formations, penetrated the sand, and found the plant. I infected the plant, and I gradually transformed the plant into me, but my hope was still dashed . Plants still cannot satisfy my idea of ​​synthesizing evolutionary qualities."

"Under the spread of mycelium, I also saw two producers. Although they are weaker than me, they can produce evolutionary qualities. How I envy them!"

Having said this, Yuan can still feel the desire of producers in the prosperous stage for the quality of production.

"Then I met him, the king of the race from the ocean."

Then the leader of the snake group opened his eyes and looked at Yuan: "I can smell the sea water on you. It's so familiar and I miss you so much."

"I also come from the ocean. I used to be the king of the tribe, but no longer. Most of my blood relatives have died. I killed them with my own hands. Now it's time for me to die."

This former king of the tribe tells the story of his encounter with the producers in the flourishing stage.

"As a king, like you, I know the plight of the oceanic people. We need producers, and we need a large number of producers."

"I have forgotten when I came here, I have also forgotten how I came here, it is not important anymore. What is important is that I found him, an incomplete producer in the flourishing stage. "

"In fact, I was very excited when I saw the fungus covering the entire underground cave. I thought I had found a solution to the plight of our marine population. This is a producer with extremely fast proliferation ability, and he can It quickly covers the ocean and brings endless evolutionary qualities to the ocean."

Through the communication on the ethnic information network, Yuan can feel the hope conveyed by the leader of the snake ethnic group, but what follows is endless loss.

"But after talking to him, I realized that we were all trapped."

After a brief pause, the leader of the snake group continued: "I made a decision. I want to help him complete his evolution."

"I want him to eat evolutionary matter and feel what it feels like to absorb evolutionary matter. To this end, I have tried many experiments with him. The body of the producer, the evolved matter leaves produced by the producer, and even The bodies of blood relatives, as long as there is any material with evolutionary qualities."

Speaking of this, the leader of the snake group showed sadness: "The blood relatives in the ocean have evolutionary qualities, and the blood relatives in my group also have evolutionary qualities. Under my order, they threw themselves into the fungus and let the mycelium Penetrating their bodies, absorbing their flesh and blood, and finally, they were decomposed by the mycelium while they were still alive.”

"I am no longer the king of the group. Even though I know that what I am doing is still what a king of the group should do, I am so selfish. I left my own group behind and completely killed the rest of the group. die."

"I know you will ask, why didn't I push my own species into the mycelium, instead I crawled into it. Because we discovered a rather regrettable thing, my blood relatives, their level of evolution is too low."

"Even if they reached the stage of evolution, even if they evolved to several stages of evolution, their level of evolution was still too low. So I climbed up and let him eat me."

As he said this, the leader of the snake group seemed to be tired and stopped talking.

And Prosperity producers quickly moved on to pick up the story for the meta.

"After he decided to help me, I ate many of my blood relatives. By eating my blood relatives, I felt how the evolutionary qualities that entered my body appeared and existed. By eating the producers' The body and the blades of evolution, I can feel the way these evolutions are synthesized."

"I tried my best to evolve, but failed again and again. I was like a bottomless pit, devouring his blood relatives. But he didn't say anything, he just sent his blood relatives into the mycelium."

"Although I am facing failure, it is undeniable that I am evolving and I am constantly improving myself. But we still don't understand why I can't produce evolutionary qualities."

"Even if I combined it with plants, I still couldn't produce evolutionary qualities. I changed plants one after another and tried again and again, but they all failed without exception. At the beginning, we never doubted that we We could do what we wanted. But later we found out we were wrong and there was no way I could be a real producer.”

"I am a fungus, and the producer is a plant. Even after infecting the plants, I can still make these plants absorb the energy used to synthesize evolutionary matter. But do you know, every time when I try to produce evolutionary matter? , those plants will wither quickly. Those plants will die before I can synthesize the evolutionary essence."

"The higher my evolutionary level, the faster the plants died when synthesizing evolutionary qualities. From then on, I realized that it was impossible for me to synthesize evolutionary qualities."

"So we changed our strategy. We decided to use my ability to cultivate spores to create a brand new producer. But as you can see, we still failed many times."

Following the guidance of the producers in the prosperous stage, Yuan looked at the rotting mushrooms and more blood relatives who could no longer see any traces.

Yuan seemed to see each of his blood relatives being penetrated by mycelium, absorbing their flesh and blood, and cultivating spores in their bodies.

Spores are conceived with the evolutionary qualities of the producer and blood relatives.

However, due to the low level of evolution of the blood relatives and imperfections in all aspects of the spore cultivation period, the spores frequently collapsed, and the producers and blood relatives who cultivated the spores also died.

But the deaths of blood relatives are not entirely in vain.

At least they provide Bloom stage producers with a lot of experience in evolving spores.

Eventually, the leader of the snake group climbed onto the last thalli of the flourishing stage producer.

The bacteria grew hyphae, which surrounded the leader of the snake clan, piercing the flesh and bone and penetrating into the bone marrow.

And just like that, a brand new spore was born.

He was taken out, taken to a corner of the forest, and eventually developed into the spore producer he is today.

The reason why the spore producers are red is because the flesh and blood of the leader of the snake group is red.

This is a brand new producer created by a blood relative and an incomplete producer.

"But, since you have succeeded, why don't you separate? With your level of evolution, such an injury is not fatal at all."

Yuan doesn't understand.

Now that the spore producers have been evolved, they should be separable.

An injury like that would not be considered fatal at all for these two blood relatives who had evolved to such an extent.It should be a very simple thing for them to separate.

Even if they were separated, the spore producers might have spread all over the forest.

"We are inseparable." The leader of the snake group said: "After the cultivation of spore producers began, I gradually separated from the identity of an animal. Now, my body, except for my brain, has basically become a fungal structure. "

"I ate him." The producer in the prosperous stage said calmly.

"But now I can no longer survive. In order to cultivate spore producers, I have consumed all the nutrients in my body. Now, he and I are just surviving by circulating and absorbing nutrients from each other." "Why? Don't let your blood relatives help you? By eating your blood relatives, you will absorb the evolutionary essence and nutrients, and you may still be able to survive."

Regarding Yuan's words, producers in the prosperous stage expressed their understanding.

But he didn't agree.

"For me, what's the point of living? I will never be able to produce evolutionary qualities. If I continue to live, I am just a stage in an ordinary evolutionary cycle. The meaning of my life has emerged. Now is the time to accept death."

Yuan can understand the meaning of producers in the flourishing stage.

He thought that he would not be able to produce evolutionary qualities anyway if he continued to live, so he might as well die, as he would not waste the evolutionary qualities.

And now that spore producers have appeared, the prosperous stage producers think that the meaning of their existence is to achieve it.

"Have you met him?"

Yuan nodded: "I helped him cultivate the next producer, and it's completed."

"Yes, this is the whole meaning of my existence. They will exist wherever the population is." The prosperous stage producers were very happy when they heard that the second spore producer had appeared.

After the producers in the prosperous stage finished speaking, the leader of the snake group asked: "King of the group, what is the purpose of your coming to land?"

"Look for producers and bring producers to the ocean. If possible, I would also like to go deep into the land to see the situation of the land groups."

"Yes, that's what I thought at first. Now, I have found producers who can help the ocean get out of trouble, but I can't do the next step."

The leader of the snake group continued: "If I want to recover, I need to build all the organs and tissues in my body. This will require eating too much evolutionary material, which is too wasteful. Death may be the most important thing for me at the moment. The right choice."

"Just in time, you are here. As the king of the tribe, I believe you can treat my blood relatives well. I feel relieved to leave my blood relatives to you. Go and finish what I have not done for me. "

"King of the group, eat me, eat him. This is the last gift we leave to the group, and it is also the reward I give you. I hope you can sow producers for the group in the future, so that the group can get rid of the evolutionary dilemma."

"What are your names? My name is Yuan."

"Name? I haven't thought about it yet. Just call me fungus." The producer in the flourishing stage said.

"My name is Qi."

After that, Qi and bacteria stopped talking.

They are all on the verge of death. Without the existence of the ethnic information network, they would not even be able to communicate with each other.

Yuan looked at the two blood relatives in front of him.

He gently touched Qi's body.

Then the next moment, the brittle shell made a clicking sound and then shattered.

At this time Yuancai understood why Qi was unwilling to repair his body.

The inside of his body was completely empty. In this empty shell, only white hyphae could be seen, and no trace of flesh and blood could be seen anywhere.

Except for one head which was still intact, the rest of Qi's body had disappeared.

He was able to survive entirely because the bacteria supplied him with nutrients through the mycelium.

Just as Qi himself said, even if he wanted to recover, he would have to consume a lot of evolutionary qualities.

Yuan Yi couldn't bear it for a while.

He is a blood relative, and there should be no pressure for blood relatives to devour blood relatives.

But precisely because he is a blood relative, he has emotions towards his blood relatives.

The blood relatives in front of me are very great blood relatives.

Yuan simply didn't dare say he could do what he did.

This was the first time that Yuan didn't want to eat a blood relative.

But Yuan still opened his mouth.

He aimed his big mouth at the remaining head.

It's a deal.

Paying his own compensation in advance means Yuan will seed producers for the ocean.

In fact, they all know it in their hearts.

As the king of an ethnic group, Yuan will seed the oceans with producers even if he doesn't say otherwise.

"Yuan, blood relatives, the clan will be left to you."

"I will do it."

Yuan ate Qi and ended his life.

Yuan continued to eat Qi's body, and there was nothing left in the thin and crispy body.

At this moment, the blood relatives of Qi's ethnic group looked at their former leader.

That crisp cracking sound was the leader's last voice.

After Yuan finished eating all the food, Yuan looked at the bacteria.

Throughout its life, although the bacteria produced spore producers, the bacteria themselves did not produce any evolutionary qualities.

Yuan bit off the bacteria's body.

"Bacteria, this is the evolutionary quality you provided."

"Correct."
