He didn't know whether he was still Li Yao or not, or even whether he was "he" or "it".
He seemed to have lost the logical thinking ability that an intelligent being should have, but at the same time, he had some extra features that were beyond words. depict something.
He seems to be an insect egg, but also seems to be the agglomeration of thousands of insect eggs.
He can feel the temperature and humidity of the soil near countless insect eggs at the same time, as well as the vibration of the egg itself.
He can even feel it through some kind of Similar to telepathy or pheromone exchange, you can get in touch with the adults on the ground, share the adults' vision, and see everything.
He saw that this was a vast and hot planet, covered with constantly erupting volcanoes and lead clouds with lightning and thunder.
The stars seemed to be very close to the planet, and the sunlight shone down like magma pouring down.
Likewise, the destruction it brings is far greater than the chance of life.
Very few life forms can adapt to such a harsh environment, let alone evolve intelligent, civilized life.
But his tribe is an extremely rare exception.
He "saw" countless kilometers-long black meteorites or starships burning blazingly, dragging gray-white tail flames, tearing apart lead clouds, riding the sunlight, and swooping into the planet's atmosphere.
However, they did not slow down and land.
Instead, they made a huge roar in mid-air and exploded into countless spiral fragments.
These fragments made a piercing scream, and as soon as they fell to the ground, they spun at high speed and burrowed into the ground.
A word appeared in Li Yao's primitive chaotic consciousness, "explosion".
He instantly understood the meaning of this picture, just like a blind man seeing the light for the first time, seeing the colorful world, and receiving endless information.
These black meteorite-like battleships are not cold means of transportation, but are precisely the Hou Yi tribe themselves.
Billions of small insects from the Houyi tribe condensed together like hundreds of millions of cells to form a giant starship that was huge enough to cross the sea of stars.
Life came here with the mission of exploring the stars and finding a new habitat.
A new, primitive planet.
The dark and cold universe is eroding the black beetles that make up the starship all the time, causing these beetles to gradually come to the end of their lives.
The high temperature caused by the ultra-high-speed friction with the atmosphere extinguished the last ray of vitality of these "living starships".
Therefore, after successfully bringing a large amount of seeds storing genetic information into the atmosphere of this new habitable planet, the "starships" completed their mission and used their last bit of strength to explode themselves one after another.
Billions of old beetles died instantly, but billions of seeds were also sown to every piece of land on the entire planet, encouraged by the shock wave.
Li Yao quietly admired the fireworks representing destruction and rebirth blooming brightly above the lead clouds.
There was no sadness or joy in the depths of the sea of consciousness.
All beetles are one, and countless beetles together form a creature called "Hou Yi".
The sacrifices of tens of millions of biochemical starships have created the hope for new life to hatch.
This is a very ordinary metabolic process, and there is nothing tragic about it.
It's not worthy of joy or emotion - besides, their situation is still precarious, and they shouldn't waste any energy on joy or emotion.
He, it, they are just faithfully carrying out the mission that has been engraved deep in the gene chain, trying their best to absorb the heat of the sun and the nutrients in the soil, and continue to breed and grow.
Not all seeds are lucky.
Many insect eggs were sown into the shallow soil too close to the ground, and were burned by the scorching sun like lava.
Even the black carapace of the Hou Yi tribe could not withstand such heat, and they all turned into ashes.
There are also many insect eggs that have burrowed too deep, all the way to the depths of the strata that are too dark and cold, and cannot get enough heat and nutrients, so they will freeze and die there forever.
Not to mention the indigenous people on this planet - although there are no large advanced organisms here, there are also fungi that feed on sunlight in the soil.
These fungi have caused quite a lot of trouble for Li Yao's "people". , the pheromones flowing like lightning brought the news of the "tribesmen" from far away.
According to the news, it is said that somewhere, the fungus turned into a huge bacterial network and carpet, swallowing countless eggs of the Houyi people.
They had to adjust their genes in time and evolve the ability to resist this fungal infection.
This It also greatly delayed their time to break out of the ground and occupy the entire planet.
Fortunately, the location where Li Yao was buried was neither too deep nor too shallow, neither too high nor too low, neither too wet nor too dry.
The sunlight was enough to provide him with plenty of energy without burning his tender shell, and there were no nasty fungi to bother him.
The growth of the world, volcanoes and earthquakes are still thousands of miles away from him.
He can unlock the secrets deep in the genetic chain and extract brand-new weapons from the "arsenal" to arm himself.
He has shed his shell seven times in total.

After each shelling, his body size will expand, and the newly grown carapace will be imprinted with a new pattern based on the radiation, wavelength and spiritual energy ripples contained in the star.
These patterns made him even more powerful, and the efficiency of absorbing and utilizing solar energy increased to a new level.
Countless mottled and fleeting pictures flashed through his sea of consciousness, making him seem to see thousands of Houyi ships. family’s “biochemistry” "Starship" traveled through the sea of stars, and saw the highly developed Houyi clan's home planet.
Rows of high-rise buildings reaching into the sky were all composed of small beetles.
There were even hundreds of millions of beetles gathered together to form something like a "biochemical super star." brain" or something like that.
Li Yao gained an unprecedented understanding, and he understood the mission of this expedition.
They want to multiply and breed on this brand-new planet, giving birth to millions of times the same species.
Only when the number of beetles reaches the limit and exceeds the critical point can they construct complex structural diagrams such as battleships, high-rise buildings, and biochemical super brains.
Only those who are qualified to be called "civilization" can send a message back to the home planet to announce the "victory" of the expedition.
Li Yao emerged from the earth, together with tens of thousands of clan members.
He couldn't even tell whether he was this tiny beetle or a condensation of pheromones exchanged between countless nearby beetles.
The highly toxic air and overly intense sunlight did not make him feel uncomfortable at all.
During the long growth process underground, his genes had already been adjusted to be very suitable for the environment of this planet - the Houyi tribe conquered many similar planets.
This planet is not the one with the harshest environment.
Their gene pool contains many weapons to deal with difficult situations.
Even so, countless tribesmen died the moment they emerged from the ground.
Death from poisoning, sun exposure, low temperature, hunger, all kinds of strange or ordinary reasons - death does not need a reason, survival only requires it.
Li Yao didn't hesitate at all.
At this time, his instinct was still far superior to his thinking ability.
He struggled to squirm his round body, clumsily waving his tender tentacles to devour the corpses of his dead companions.
This is a very critical moment.
The entire wilderness is submerged by the black tide.
The black tide makes a "click, click, click" sound.
Countless beetles are devouring the corpses of the deceased, increasing their own nutrients, and struggling to withstand the scorching sun and the roaring wind.
Fighting against the heavy rain, struggling for the slim chance of life.
In the wind and sun, Li Yao experienced several more shellings, and his body became larger and more beautiful.
He grew a pair of sharp and tough claws, which are enough to finish the rocks on this planet; his carapace became more shiny and covered with colorful patterns, which could reflect different wavelengths of light.
It turned into a mysterious and complicated message; several pairs of extra legs grew on his abdomen, and there were two rows of parallel holes on his chest - these organs also have their own mysteries, but he doesn't know it yet.
Suddenly, like a flash of lightning across his hazy sea of consciousness, he and the thousands of tribesmen around him all woke up - the season of condensation has arrived!
Li Yao's carapace released colorful light, sending the patterns imprinted on his body to all directions, looking for clansmen suitable to pair with him.
And all his tribesmen also did the same, as if they were searching for him thousands of times.
Soon, two shining patterns came together in mid-air, and Li Yao struggled to crawl towards a tribesman, who also tried his best to respond to his call.
Li Yao used the fat feet on his abdomen to tightly fix the ring groove on the opponent's waist, and the opponent also inserted the tentacles on his head into the holes on Li Yao's chest, and the fit was perfect and seamless.
In an instant, Li Yao felt a tremor coming from the depths of his genes.
He felt that he had become more "complete".
He and the other party shared a sea of consciousness.
All the gene banks that were originally unopenable were opened, and more information was released like a surging tide.
Like pouring out.
Not satisfied, they - he was still not satisfied, and still used the patterns on the carapace to attract more beetles to join this...
"small group".
Later, twelve beetles accepted his invitation and became part of him.
Some The beetles serve as crawling parts, some serve as fighting and finishing parts, and some serve as digestion and energy storage parts.
He instantly completed the leap from a low-level animal to a high-level animal, turning into a creature that ran rampant and domineering like a giant crab.
And he is not the biggest winner in this gathering season.
Many beetles have successfully gathered hundreds or even thousands of companions, forming "large groups".

They shape themselves into various shapes and bizarre images, and are not subject to any rules.
The limitation is just to try which form is most suitable for survival on this planet.
The process of survival testing is brutal.
Countless successful forms in the past proved to be unsuitable for the environment of this planet.
Those seemingly ferocious "large swarms" collapsed one after another.
Most of the beetles died, and the remaining beetles took the experience and lessons of failure to join.
A "small group" like Li Yao.
But there are also a small number of condensed forms that have proven to be quite successful, and the "large groups" that make up these forms will also divide in an orderly manner, bringing new successful forms to more "small groups".
Even Li Yao died twice.
He was not sure whether he should use "death" to describe his collapse.
In short, the form he finally condensed proved to be unsuitable for the survival of this planet and the finishing of rock formations. 90% of his body was beetles.
All died, but the remaining 10% of the beetles took the most critical genetic information and joined the new team, integrating perfectly.
Perhaps, for the individuals of the hive civilization, death is really a meaningless concept.
If the civilization is not destroyed, they can gain eternal life.
