Chapter 235: The Multifaceted Nature of Things

Around 350 years later, Yan Xia sent the biological battleships to encounter the Silk Civilization.

This battle did not last long, only about two years.

There were hardly any casualties on either side, and Yan Xia's biological battleships only lost over 7,000 ships, while the Super Star Swarm suffered almost no losses.

However, this was not due to the kindness of the Silk Civilization.

As Yan Xia said, the Silk Civilization needed to test something chaotic at this time.

They needed to prepare.

About ten years later, the Silk Civilization organized an attack, and this attack seemed very small in scale, so small that it could be said to be a suicide mission.

The Silk Civilization only sent one battleship.

Even if the biological battleships were weak in combat, it was impossible for them not to defeat even one Silk Civilization battleship.

However, the Silk Civilization really did send only one battleship.

All the biological battleships surrounded and attacked, and billions of insects from all directions devoured this battleship.

But at that moment, something emerged from that battleship, which should be considered a life form, but not really a life form. It seemed to have no appearance at all, and it was impossible to describe what it looked like. Even the observations of each biological battleship of this life form were different.

It was like Hamlet, with a thousand faces.

At the same time, it contained everything, all the physics, all the chemistry, all history, past, present, and future, everything condensed together, and it could even be said that it was a magnifying glass, allowing things that life could not normally perceive to be perceived.

The biological battleships themselves had a certain level of consciousness, a consciousness like that of a tree.

Just as trees can be influenced, the biological battleships would also be affected by this "magnifying glass."

After perceiving those things, the biological battleships began to proliferate wildly, and tumors appeared on their bodies as if they had cancer.

Similarly, including the insects, when they saw this life form, they seemed to be paused in mid-air, and then their bodies began to dissolve.

This was not magic.

But it contained too much, and when a life form observed it, it would instantly understand all truths.

These truths may be the most primitive truths of the universe, or they may be truths created by the Silk Civilization itself. Some truths are those that life itself avoids, and all truths are those that cells themselves avoid.

It influences everything, both macroscopic and microscopic.

A cell follows a set of orders from the moment it begins to divide, and when it suddenly feels that this set of orders is meaningless, what will it do?

Naturally, it will stop this meaningless behavior.

Life thus becomes chaotic.

This feeling is like you working hard to live, but one day you might think, even if you work hard for a few more years, you will still die, and everything you care about now will be lost. So, why bother working hard?

Is this a fallacy?

Perhaps cherishing the people around you is a form of escape, and living in a fallacy?

People will have these doubts, and if these doubts turn into certainty, you will lose any interest in life and thus move towards death.

According to research, the mood of a life form, whether good or bad, is also related to the strength of its immune system. When you are in a bad mood, you are more likely to get sick.

Of course, there is a self-consistent system behind this, and they may not be strongly correlated, but the reality is that there is an influence.

Similarly, when a life form shows extreme sadness, this person may die suddenly, and this is not a fantasy.

And the Silk Civilization took advantage of this.

These things are so powerful and illogical to life forms that they cannot be stopped.

So, at the moment that life form appeared, tens of thousands of biological battleships, billions of insects, including the Super Star Swarm itself, entered a state of destruction and died completely in a very short time.

"Life cannot bear the pain brought by the truth."

"Imagine you like someone, you like them so, so much, they are so perfect, they understand everything about you, they tolerate everything about you, you have no conflicts with them, they are the person you imagine."

"Then, they die."

"Even the strongest person in the world would break down in tears, and even the toughest person would instantly collapse. This heart-wrenching pain can instantly penetrate all defenses of the body."

"This is the pain brought by an unchangeable reality, and the truth is a hundred times, a thousand times, or even ten thousand times more powerful than this pain."

Yan Xia slowly opened his mouth after hearing that the biological battleships were completely wiped out.

"Without a doubt, I couldn't bear that kind of pain either."

"I would also die at the moment of perceiving that thing."

"This is an illogical crushing force for life forms."

"Ella, this is something you should solve, and in the future, there will be no life forms participating in the battlefield of the Silk Civilization."

"Of course, the premise is that we need to eliminate the Silk Civilization."

Yan Xia felt that this premise did not exist.

When the Silk Civilization tried to contact the Outer God, it no longer existed.

When the Genesis Project began, Yan Xia couldn't imagine what the Outer God would bring to the Silk Civilization, but as time passed, he became more and more afraid of this chaos as he understood the Outer God better.

This fear cannot be suppressed, just as some people are naturally afraid of insects, and some people are naturally afraid of snakes. No matter how they hypnotize themselves, their bodies will tremble uncontrollably when they see these life forms.

There is a saying that fear comes from the unknown.

There will be no fear once you understand, but the Outer God cannot be understood unless you become it.

So, this fear of chaos is actually closer to a life form's fear of death.

"How likely is it for the Silk Civilization to remain sane under the influence of the Outer God?"

"True chaos is like madness, and how can a group of madmen maintain the stability of a civilization?"

Yan Xia immediately thought of this when he thought of Cthulhu.

It's obviously not enough to let the Silk Civilization change into the life forms we want. Since they can change this, why not let the Silk Civilization change into a life form that self-destructs?

This is not uncommon in nature.

Evolution is often related to suicide.

The evolution of a life form may not be to become more superior when facing enemies in nature, but to become more superior when facing other short-term competitors.

The most important thing is some of the decorative appearances that life forms evolve for mating, and these things may become burdens when facing predators.

And Yan Xia can do the same with the Silk Civilization.

The current dilemma of the Silk Civilization is that the Federation, the Olive Branch Civilization, which will not oppose them, and a fourth civilization that is fictionalized, are all eager to resolve this issue. Therefore, they may give up some other things.

For example, the Outer God is indeed powerful to life forms, but it does not have an advantage in evolution or biological evolution.

If the Silk Civilization can clearly recognize this, then the Federation and the Silk Civilization will return to the state before the Genesis Project, and if not, Yan Xia can declare victory in this battle.
