Chapter 588 The Past of the Eternally Thirsty
Although they have seen the contents under many question marks, there are still many question marks that they cannot solve no matter how hard they try.

So, they used the knowledge they had gained to begin transforming their bodies, turning the straws that were originally used for digestion into a detection device that could analyze various things that passed through their bodies and decipher knowledge.

That way, they don't have to work so hard to interact.

They discovered that in the brains of other creatures, there was a cluster of nerve cells gathered together, and electric currents were constantly echoing between those cells, and these currents contained the knowledge possessed by these creatures.

Once we can access these currents, we can answer many questions at once.

They also gained knowledge about language from the brains of these creatures, and thus they began to communicate with some intelligent creatures.

"I want to obtain your knowledge." The Everthirsty said frankly. They did not hide anything or beat around the bush at the beginning.

But this brought hostility...

“Why should we tell you the knowledge?”

Those intelligent creatures directly expelled them. It was at this time that the Everthirsty realized that knowledge is a precious treasure for every creature, and they would not tell the knowledge to other races for no reason.

After receiving rejection the first time, the Eternally Thirsty did not get discouraged. They found other intelligent creatures.

This time they learned their lesson and did not ask for it directly. Instead, they used their existing knowledge to exchange for unknown knowledge.

The Eternally Thirsty do not think that the knowledge they already possess is valuable, because they subconsciously believe that knowledge is most delicious when it is acquired, and once it has been acquired, it is not that important.

However, the intelligent creature they wanted to exchange did not think so. That creature discovered the characteristics of the Eternal Thirst and realized that the Eternal Thirst had rich knowledge but almost zero combat power. As a result, the greed in the heart of that creature grew stronger and stronger.

After another exchange, the creatures imprisoned the Everthirsty.

They wanted to use the Everthirsty as a tool to analyze knowledge and turn them into their subordinate race.

At the same time, the Everthirsty discovered that these creatures had never truly thought of exchanging knowledge with them. These creatures had hidden a lot of knowledge, including weapons, tactics, construction technology... These knowledge, which were related to the survival of the race, were always held in the hands of these creatures and were unwilling to share.

The Everthirsty were completely disappointed, and they also understood that not all creatures were like them and could share their knowledge selflessly.

Living things are inherently greedy and selfish; if the knowledge could affect their own survival, they would not share it.

In the eyes of those creatures, knowledge, like minerals and food, is just a resource that can be exchanged, but not completely exchanged and must be reserved.

"Living things are like stubborn stones. Only a hard pickaxe can break open the selfish shell..."

The Everthirsty suddenly realized that if they wanted to obtain all the knowledge of other races, there was no other way except to conquer that race.

It is not possible to ask for or exchange. Different races will never be able to trust each other. Different races are full of suspicion and hostility. The aliens will ultimately not be able to escape the fate of being excluded. All things are balanced by strength. If the big fish swallows the small fish, they can obtain all resources, including knowledge.

The Eternally Thirsty understood everything in prison.

At the same time, they also took advantage of the opportunity to analyze knowledge to continuously transform their bodies, using the knowledge they gained to quietly improve their combat effectiveness.

Finally, one day, they broke free of the prison and destroyed the race that imprisoned them.

When the enemy's brain passed through the straw and the surrounding question marks were instantly solved, the Eternal Thirst finally understood -

This is how they want to interact.

Destruction, conquest, devouring... nothing is more efficient than this. Every race is a crystallization of knowledge and a mineral that can be found everywhere. The ore still needs to be dug deep underground, but living things are all over the world.

The Everthirsty keep repeating the process of conquest and devouring. They acquire more and more knowledge, and the question marks in the world gradually disappear. The contents beneath those question marks continue to open the door to them.

Every time they invade other races, the Everthirsty will not kill them all.

Because their purpose is to gain knowledge, not genocide.

"One third of a race's population can acquire one hundred percent of its knowledge."

This is the conclusion they came to during their continuous invasions.

Knowledge overlaps. One-third of the population already has all the knowledge of one race in their brains. If the conquered population is scientists, researchers, or senior leaders, the knowledge acquired will be even more comprehensive.

Once sufficient knowledge is acquired, the Everthirsty will cease their invasions.

However, this method of cutting the grass without removing the roots will also leave behind many troubles.

Their race becomes increasingly notorious, and many descendants of the race seek revenge against them.

One of the Avengers, from the "Lobster Clan", found a terrible relic from somewhere and almost wiped out the entire race of the Everthirsty.

Fortunately, during the process of conquest, the Everthirsty also found a "suspended death relic" that could turn themselves into stone. After a long period of "suspended death", the Everthirsty finally crawled out of hell again.

After this disaster, the Eternal Thirst became more cautious. In order not to reveal their identity as invaders, they came to the fourth layer of the abyss and hid in the rifts with disordered synchronization to conceal their existence.

Their invasion actions became more and more cautious. They no longer used their original bodies to invade, but instead manipulated other races to cause wars or civil unrest. They then sat back and reaped the benefits and obtained the knowledge they wanted.

The stone mass was rotating slightly, and the projection slowly told the history of the Eternally Thirsty.

And the sound of tearing paper came again:

"If we come directly to the Huasheng Islands, will the doctors tell us all the knowledge?"

Faced with such questions, Radi remained silent.

He knew clearly that even if some doctors were willing, the Council of Elders would certainly not agree.

Telling all your knowledge to other races is equivalent to exposing yourself completely, which is an extremely dangerous behavior. Even if the doctors are "selfless", they will not agree to such a thing.

Just as Radi was lost in thought, the Eternally Thirsty asked again:

"If we propose to exchange all our knowledge for the doctor's knowledge, would you agree?"

"No." Radi said silently in his heart.

No one can guarantee that one party will not have reservations.

"Living things are like stubborn stones. Only a hard pickaxe can break open the selfish shell..."
