MTL - 4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution-v9 Chapter 103 history of change

This species...seems to be a life in flux.

The 'Crystal Quiet' itself is a creature that lives in the dark side of the void. Their biggest feature is that they have no fixed form, but they can 'absorb' the form of other things.

In their initial memories, they were in a dark space with nothing, and their essence was also a very strange thing. They had no real shape, but were like a floating consciousness wandering back and forth in the void.

To be precise, they didn't even have consciousness at first.

After an unknown amount of time passed, something suddenly appeared around them.

These things are also the strange phenomena that Lin has seen here, and these phenomena are currently called 'semi-chaos'.

'Semi-chaos' is something between normal void matter and 'energy'.

Many things were originally detected to be no different from normal void matter, but under special conditions, they would transform into a state of 'energy'. This 'energy' is similar to dream energy but not exactly the same, giving Lin a very similar feeling. A liquid that cannot be directly touched, but can be seen by some means, including direct vision.

The transformation process is roughly the disappearance of the original matter, and at the same time, ‘energy’ will appear at the position where the matter disappeared.

Lin believes that this is caused by the rules in the dark side of the void, and the details of the changes have not yet been fully tested, but Lin found that if some kinds of substances are converted into 'energy' if there is some kind of error, they will enter a special In the middle stage, the matter in the middle stage is in an unstable state, it will occasionally be 'energy', and occasionally it will be entity, and will enter the state of constant repetition that Lin sees.

It's not clear why this happens.

In the memory of the crystal stills, these 'semi-chaos' have been happening continuously, as long as there is such chaos around them, the crystal stills will gain form, the shape they initially obtain is similar to the semi-chaos, it is A kind of thing that has no rules and looks extremely chaotic, but after they gain shape, the surrounding semi-chaotic will stop the process of repeated operation and enter a stable state.

When the surrounding semi-chaos is completely stable, the shapes obtained by the crystal stills will begin to collapse and dissipate, and those semi-chaos will slowly disappear, and their lives will return to a state of darkness.

Therefore, their lives for a long time are spent in the process of constantly gaining form and then constantly breaking down.

Of course they have no problem with this life either, because they don't have the capacity to think about it.

Until... creatures were born out of semi-chaos.

Some of the crystallizers' memories show that the first creatures they encountered were those war creatures made from the fragments of the Sea of ​​Creation, but after investigation it was found that they had encountered other creatures before this.

Semi-chaos is a constant phenomenon, almost all semi-chaos are completely chaotic and random, but in rare cases there seems to be something regular, like some thinking creatures.

I don't know if it was because of an extremely coincidental situation that various substances were assembled into a complete and orderly shape or something else. It happened several times in the history of the crystal stills, and was born in semi-chaos... Thinking biology.

After the birth of the first creature, the crystal stills also began to have the same form as them, and at the same time, the crystal stills also had a mind.

The true thinking of the Jingjing people is only obtained after the birth of the first creature. What is more peculiar is that the Jingjing people can understand their past at the moment of thinking, know that they were born in the boundless darkness, and constantly gain form, and then the form quickly collapsed.

At the earliest, their thinking didn't last long, because the creatures born in the semi-chaos couldn't live for long. These creatures died quickly, and the Jingjing lost their form again and returned to the boundless darkness. , of course their thinking stopped.

But there are also special cases, that is, every time a creature appears in the future, every time the Jingjing obtains a form, they can remember all the previous things, but each time it does not last long.

Until... that small fragment of the sea of ​​creation appeared.

The reason for the appearance of this fragment is not yet known, and it began to 'create' creatures not long after it appeared.

The original fragments created a large number of species, and these species seem to be normal void creatures. What is more peculiar is that they all seem to be created by fragments by controlling the semi-chaos here.

The creatures that were originally created were normal, that is, they were able to move freely, but they found it very difficult to survive.

Their only source of resources is the semi-chaos that appears and disappears from time to time, and because the source is quite unstable, these creatures are in a state of constant creation and then extinction.

During this period, because more creatures continued to appear, the Jingjing who obtained continuous long-term thinking began to establish their own 'civilization'.

Although their thinking comes from the creatures that were created, the crystal stills have their own mode of thinking, they can realize what kind of species they are, and they have their own ideas about what to do. At that time, the crystal stills have found that they are close to some Semi-chaotic objects will make each other calm, but they will also disappear faster, so they are generally farther away, so that they can maintain their shape longer, and semi-chaotic will not disappear as quickly.

By maintaining themselves for a long time, they built a city of their own, and the city they built, just like themselves, will slowly disappear without semi-chaos around them, but they will disappear when there is semi-chaos around them. will appear again.

Sometime later, the fragments of the Sea of ​​Creation created two groups of creatures that were constantly at war, and through them the Crystallizers gained relatively stable minds.

They have been living a stable life in a distant place until... Lynn's arrival.

After Lin arrived and started to build a base here, the Jingjing people felt a huge strangeness. It seemed that Lin had a very strange influence on them, causing them to fall into a state of constant change, and the creatures created by the creation fragments approached and made them become slightly stable.

They think Lynn's existence is a very unstable factor for them, so they decide to... escape from here.
