After more than ten years of difficult integration, the total number of microorganisms on the earth is billions of times more than that of human beings, and gradually formed thousands of independent and complete consciousness communities, which exist in the form of microbial pan-consciousness.
They seem to live in two completely different latitudes with the planet's overlord human beings on a macro level, without disturbing each other, and they don't know each other's existence.
All this is because the perception of the pan-conscious body is completely different from that of ordinary creatures. In their logic, whether human beings or other animals, they all belong to the category of "habitable environment" and are a kind of environment. , rather than a class of creatures with the same status as oneself.
As for the human beings, no one would have thought that the bacteria in their bodies, which are usually so peaceful that they are completely ignored, would give birth to something as lofty as pan-consciousness.
Differences in perception level lead to this situation.
However, when a high-level cultivator reaches the fifth level, the body that has experienced the first complete sublimation will gradually get rid of the shackles of the organic body, and all alien substances will be either discharged or completely assimilated into a part of the body.
So, in the eyes of the microbial consciousness aggregation, they have changed from the “habitable environment” to the “uninhabitable environment”, but it is still just a kind of environment, which is no different from water, air, or stone.
…
Primitive aggregates of consciousness hardly have the concept of movement, because their "body" can even span two continents. Ordinary people in dozens of different places, and the bacterial communities in their intestines, may still belong to the same will. .
Through some mysterious quantum connection after psionicization, they have bodies that span space.
Of course, microorganisms in different positions in the same person may belong to two or more wills.
There is a natural hostile relationship between different consciousnesses without exception, because they come from the same source, and can form a stronger will through mutual fusion and assimilation.
If we live in peace for hundreds of years, these hostile guys may really be able to unify into an earth consciousness similar to the real Gaia, and compete with human beings at the macro level for the real sense of planetary dominance .
…
Unfortunately, everything was ruined by that curious look.
…
Time goes back to twelve years ago.
Twelve years ago, Nilu was one of thousands of microbial pan-consciousnesses on Earth.
But at that time, its name only had the word Rin, and as for the whole of its life, it was thinking about how to kill other general consciousness, and then strengthen itself.
Due to the difference in worldview, from the beginning of consciousness, all the perceived "families" around them are hostile to themselves, so in their dictionary, the two words communication and cooperation do not exist at all.
There is no need to communicate, the only meaning of life is to kill, and naturally there is no need for language. The word Rin is just a random code name.
There is no language, no cooperation, and no civilization. It belongs to the world of pan-consciousness, which is much crueler than the animal world. After all, animals of the same race will not be born from one birth, just like raising Gu. The same kind is the enemy of life and death.
…
Before many, many light and dark intersects, it, like many other general consciousnesses, has noticed that an extremely dangerous environment has been born in the world.
Instinct told it that this place was definitely not suitable for survival, and it should stay as far away as possible.
Of course, the most peculiar thing is that almost every time the place experiences a light-dark alternation, the danger level increases by one point.
After seeing hundreds of light and dark criss-crosses, because of the lack of the concept of movement, the survival instinct even urged them to quickly and actively give up the body that was close to the other side.
"Other dangerous environments are also on the rise, but the speed is definitely not that fast!"
For the first time, Rin spent his precious energy thinking about something else due to the dangerous oppression at every step.
Before that, it only needs to simply judge whether a place is suitable for survival, and give a yes or no answer.
"Danger! Stay away! Stay away! Stay away!"
After voluntarily giving up a considerable part of his "body", the overwhelming sense of threat in Rin's heart has indeed weakened a lot, but at the same time it brought another more serious problem——
Because the dangerous place was closest to him, he gave up too many bodies, which made the surrounding hostile tribes stare at him.
The persimmon was pinched softly, and Rin, who had lost too much strength, became the "soft persimmon" in the eyes of everyone at this time, and erosion from all directions followed one after another.
The more you fight, the weaker you become, and the weaker you are, the more new enemies will be attracted to share the spoils. Unfortunately, Rin has fallen into an unsolvable endless loop.
…
As for operations that require IQ such as two peaches killing three men, sowing dissension, etc., it is obviously not within the scope of this group of pan-conscious considerations that don't even have language.

Rin, who had no power to resist, could only watch helplessly as his body was eaten by his "clan" bit by bit, and more and more guys joined this gluttonous feast.
If you escape, you don't necessarily die, if you don't escape, you will die.
In desperation, it retrieved the scattered bodies in that dangerous place, and "escaped" to that extremely dangerous place with a general consciousness.
For the pan-consciousness of this group of microorganisms, movement is almost equivalent to the word growth. Wherever you want to move, you should use your own consciousness to assimilate the microorganisms in that place, and let your body "grow" there.
…
The predators quickly wiped out Rin's body left outside the dangerous place, and stared at the delicious meal that "fleeed" to the dangerous place.
Already completely dominated by their appetites, they ignored the danger warnings in their bodies and pressed closer towards Rin. Take one more bite at this time, maybe there will be more hope of victory in the cruel internal strife in the future.
After all, they all know very well that in this survival game, there will only be one winner who survives to the end.
…
For the first time since the birth of consciousness, Rin felt an emotion called despair.
Under the shroud of despair, some people will abandon themselves and give up treatment, and some people will conversely squeeze out their potential ten times or even dozens of times due to desperation.
Although Rin is not human, it is lucky to belong to the latter.
Strong despair quickly illuminates its wisdom, and the quantum entanglement among countless connecting bacteria is activated in the crisis of life and death.
It used most of the remaining body to divide and combine with great difficulty, and rearranged a "eye" that has no lethality except for simple functions, and actively "looked" at the piece, exuding an extremely dangerous atmosphere The place.
…
"Um?"
