Chapter 1143 Law of Chaos
During the brief "disorder" stage, the entropy worms will lose all rules. They become a group of meaningless cells. Wrapped in the pupa, they are "dead" in a sense.

The larval stage of life comes to an end and returns to chaos.

And when the chaos is broken again, it will be a new beginning.

Before this disordered stage, they were creatures called "entropy worms", and after the disordered stage, another creature called "entropy butterfly" was born from the pupa.

If all the cells are broken down and reassembled, can it still be considered the original "self"?

When all connections between consciousness are destroyed, and then connected again, can this consciousness still be considered the original consciousness?
The entropy worms at that time did not consider such complicated philosophical issues. This evolutionary form of life was just a compromise mechanism they constructed when there was insufficient matter and energy.

The Larva is a mining machine that consumes matter and energy.

Adult insects are reproduction machines used to continue the population.

The two life forms together build a life chain to pass on their special genes.

When entropy bugs hatch from their pupae, they spread their wings and emerge as fully developed adults.

Adults have a relatively short lifespan, usually only a few weeks to a few months.

During this stage, the adults reproduce and the females lay eggs, completing the life cycle.

They are too fragile, and their intake of matter and energy cannot be as efficient as other organisms. They can only extend their life cycle and use the stages of their life process to spread the consumption required for reproduction.

They would rather divide their lives into two parts, smash their already orderly structure into pieces, and then reassemble them in a completely new form, just to complete their ultimate mission.

When the entropy worm that becomes a "butterfly" flaps its wings and flies into the sky, the sacrifice of another form of life becomes worth it.

The insect uses its entire life to hold up the flying butterfly. There is disorder between them and they can never see each other.

But they both know each other exists.

They share the same cells, flowing with the same energy and matter. When the butterfly creates a new egg, the disorder in the egg will turn into a new worm, and the new worm will turn into a new butterfly. The cycle will continue forever, and life will continue forever...

This is the life of the entropy worm, an ordinary yet great life.

However, such "greatness" also exists in many other organisms. They are not worthy of praise and are inconspicuous in the vast species tree.

The changes in the Worms of Entropy occurred after the "cancerous transformation" of the Abyss.

That normal world became an abyss that swallowed up other worlds, and the living environment of the entropy worms also changed.

Many lives perished under the dramatic change in the environment, but the Entropy Worm found a way to survive...

In the abyss at the early stage of cancer, the environment changes extremely rapidly. Perhaps the environment in which the entropy worms lived was a humid rainforest yesterday, but it would turn into a cold snowy land the next day. This drastic change would destroy the ecology in an instant and throw all living things into hell, and the entropy worms were no exception.

At the beginning, they were unable to adapt to such frequent drastic changes, but fortunately, there were enough of them, and after some of them were "slaughtered" by the environment, some of them were still able to find a suitable place to survive.

Under the pressure of the environment, perhaps due to the outburst of the survival instinct, some of the surviving "pupae" underwent unpredictable changes.

This may be an accidental "mistake", but it saved the fate of the entire race.

After these "pupae" broke open, there did not appear the butterflies that could adapt to the jungle, but a type of butterfly that could adapt to extremely low temperatures. In the process of transforming from "disorder" to "order", the pupa noticed the changes in the external environment, and disorder meant infinite possibilities. The instinct for survival made the chaotic cells put on a cold-resistant shell and reassembled into a brand new appearance.

These new orders managed to survive the ice and snow, flapping their wings and soaring among the falling snowflakes.

Butterfly, laid brand new eggs.

The eggs gave birth to new worms.

After absorbing enough substances and energy, the insect turns into a pupa.

The pupa experienced another change in environment, and when it broke open again, a brand new butterfly flew out of it...

The environment of the abyss is changing dramatically, and the entropy worms are also changing dramatically.

The "disorder" that they had to choose for the sake of compromise has now become a loophole for them to catch their breath.

In the gap between these morphological changes, they can stop and slowly feel the changes in the environment, then find out the trend of change and shape their own butterfly form into a shape that can adapt to the environment.

Although these bugs have little consciousness, their instincts tell them: "Disorder is the key to saving the race."

Slow down, extend the time of disorder, feel the changes in the world, and then stabilize this disorder in a suitable position to cope with this ever-changing world.

The world is chaotic, and the entropy worm is also chaotic.

If they want to survive, they can only adapt their chaos to the chaos of the world.

With continuous iteration and evolution, the existence time of the "pupa" becomes longer and longer, and the existence time of the "insect" and "butterfly" forms is relatively shortened.

Lengthening disordered time and reducing unchanging ordered time is the way to survive in this ever-changing abyss.

The "cancerous transformation" of the abyss is still ongoing, but as the world proliferates, changes are becoming less frequent, and the duration of a single environment is beginning to increase.

In contrast, the disorder time of the entropy worms also began to increase. They would rather slow down and observe the changes in the environment before transforming into butterflies, rather than risk breaking out of the cocoon and being destroyed by the environment tomorrow.

What they don’t realize is that after adapting to countless environments, they are no longer as “fragile” as they were at the beginning.

The information of different butterfly forms is retained inside the disorder, which can effectively respond to various extreme conditions, and other forms throughout the life cycle have corresponding "environmental resistance".

The abyss was becoming cancerous, and the entropy worms began to deviate from the scope of normal creatures and change in a more bizarre direction...

"The egg form is too fragile. Can we transform the egg form into a pupa form? That way we can increase the time of disorder..."

"Hasn't the time in the insect form been too long? But if the time is not enough, it can't absorb enough substances and energy to provide the consumption in the process of transforming back to order."

"Unless, it doesn't return to order..."

"Matter, it seems, can also be simplified..."
