Chapter 3 "The First Records" [The Devourer]

He may be a beggar, or he may be a king.

But that was all once.

现在
He is just a tiny cell.

"Why is that?"

"What am I thinking?"

When hundreds of cells gather together to survive, but have to face the attack of multicellular organisms.

He chose to spread out the cells that had been formed with great difficulty, and then he let the cells wrap around each other in turn.

So what about thick skin?Let's bite a little bit, you can't hit us anyway.

They nibbled at each other bit by bit, and then successfully evolved into multi-cells with the help of each other's composition model.

Thus, a new creature appeared, its name is:

【The Devourer】

Tasting the sweetness of being small and big, he rejected the suggestion of the auxiliary system to make it gradually grow bigger, grow out of bones and then enter the animal world, and began to develop a large number of its own species.

Dozens of them devoured the intestinal worm and turned into the appearance of the intestinal worm, but they did not choose to become this kind of worm.He just used his editing ability to continuously modify, so that his own species formed the appearance of this bug and matched it with the other's muscle fibers, but the essence did not change;

Hundreds of them devoured a crustacean they met. After leaving the opponent's carapace including the arthropod carapace, he let the [swallowing insect] that had acquired [muscle] prop up the entire carapace, and survived with the ability of a crustacean.A main worm appeared in each carapace, not much different from ordinary worms, but able to direct the worms inside to act like a beetle.Even if it is hunted, all the cells can be scattered, so that the hunter only gets an empty shell.At this time, it was judged to enter the world of aquatic organisms, and the master worms were separated from the editors of ordinary worms, but their essence... was still [swallowing worms];
Thousands of them devoured a large pincer, and with self-awareness, he gathered several beetle groups together to form the largest beetle in that piece of water.Then one day, it saw land.They do not rely on water, rely on the muscles that have evolved many times, propped up a very strong carapace, formed a strange appearance, and took the first step towards the land;
Tens of thousands of them, when it devoured a creature with a brain, its own body as the master worm merged into the brain in a whimsical way, and controlled the brain strangely.Then, excitedly, he combined tens of thousands of his own kind, relying on the carapaces of more than 300 beetles and the brain under his control, to form a strange creature. Its name is... [Undead], and at this time, it has been judged to be a terrestrial creature;
With millions of them, he has researched ways to improve consciousness, and has developed a consciousness network.Therefore, he no longer needs ordinary individuals to have consciousness, and all individuals are connected to his consciousness network. As the main consciousness, it no longer depends on the supply of ordinary individuals, but instead becomes him to support all individuals;
There are tens of millions of [Undead] in different shapes and sizes, but their essence is that a master worm controls the brain, and through the brain controls different numbers of [Devouring Worms] relying on skeletons or carapaces to form their bodies.At this time, as the main consciousness, he controlled hundreds of insect swarms, that is, hundreds of [undead], and completed the task of the last stage of the brain.But at this time, the so-called fourth-level brain they obtained refers to becoming the master worm of the appearance of the brain.After using the accumulated evolutionary value to make [Swallowing Worm] a body with super muscles and the ability to control the brain of the main worm, he entered civilization;

The auxiliary consciousness is gone, the editing ability is lost, but it's no problem for it, because it only believes in itself.

It dismisses the undead.

Whenever an undead reached a small area, they would spread out their bodies, which were already enough for a group, and start to devour all the creatures around them.

plant?devour
animal?devour.

Flame attack?You'll always have a gap to get through;

Electric attack?There will always be a moment when you run out;
Toxin attack?We are not afraid except at the cellular level;
Mental attack?You attack the whole species;
cold?I can hibernate;

drought?I can fake death;

……

The territory is occupied by [Devouring Insects];

The mountain range was occupied by [Devouring Insects];

The grassland is occupied by [Devouring Insects];

The desert is occupied by [Devouring Insects];

The land was occupied by [Devouring Insects];

The ocean...was not spared, it was occupied by the [Devouring Insect];

At this time, he met the consciousness of the planet, and before he had time to generate independent consciousness, he met the consciousness of the planet of his [Devourer].

The long [swallowing insect] life has made him forget about human beings, reason, and everything. He only knows one circle, and only remembers this circle: devour, build, transfer, disperse, and continue to devour.

So, it tried to swallow the consciousness of the planet, but he was too weak, and the consequence of the snake swallowing the elephant was to support itself to death, but what about him?

He succeeded, using the devouring worm's long-term eating experience, it year after year, day after day...

Thousands of years have passed, it has devoured one ten-thousandth of the planet's consciousness, and the [Swallowing Worm] has devoured one-third of the planet;

Hundreds of years have passed, it has devoured one-thousandth of the planet's consciousness, and the [Swallowing Worm] has swallowed two-fifths of the planet;
Decades have passed, it has devoured one percent of the planet's consciousness, and the [Swallowing Worm] has swallowed three-sevenths of the planet;
Another few years have passed, it has devoured one-tenth of the planet's consciousness, and the [Swallowing Worm] has devoured half of the planet;
Finally, after spending another year devouring the consciousness of the planet to reach three-tenths, the consciousness of the planet, which had no autonomous consciousness, took it as the main consciousness.

At this moment, it got the remaining seven tenths.

At this time, through the perception of the planet, it discovered the fatal problem it was about to face: When the planet has no food that the greedy [Swallowing Worm] can eat, what should they do?
Breaking out in a cold sweat, he lost his auxiliary system and editing ability when he entered the so-called civilization, and began to control the somewhat out-of-control [Swallowing Insect] to launch a harmless parasitism on the few remaining animals and plants on the planet.

Thousands of years have passed, and there is no trace of [Undead] on the planet, and there is no trace of [Devourer].

One day
A spaceship passed through the somewhat thick atmosphere, and landed on this seemingly vibrant and green planet, but without intelligent creatures, like a paradise.

The spaceship hatch was opened.

The two astronauts excitedly go down the slide.

Step into the land below, full of fresh grass, lovely flowers and fresh air.
