Chapter 2502 Imitation Order

"Let us burn this land! Let everything howl in fear!"

A gigantic phoenix was flying in the sky above the ‘Land of the Ancestors’. From its spread wings, countless missiles were launched, causing loud flashes of light again and again on the surface of the world.

No creature could fight against this huge monster, whether it was a torch or any other species...all they could do was flee in all directions.

However, the Phoenixes did not frantically pour out all their bombs to burn the entire world. They only fired a small number of bombs to attack creatures such as torches.

So the damage they have caused to this world...is not that great.

It's just that the damage to the torches is very great.

The Phoenix had already noticed that there were many messenger torches flying in the distance, so they moved in the direction of the messengers and killed all the torches along the way.

Because the Star-Piercing Seal itself has a device that can be called a 'gravity engine', its own mobility is not hindered here.

The Torch seemed to have never faced such a terrifying opponent before, and for a moment it didn't know what to do.

Lin also discovered that the Torch is not actually a... normal species with division of labor. It has many wonderful features.

After talking with the Torch Brain for a long time and examining some of its...body structures, Lin discovered that it...

In fact, it is not the same species as the torch.

Other kinds of torches are shaped like torches because of the torch's brain. They originally had other shapes.

The Torch Brain...is an independent creature.

These creatures themselves have no ability to move. They are like real brains, just staying in place and issuing commands.

It's just that it's not commanding its own body, but other species.

It originally had a relatively complex life pattern... First of all, the Torch Brain has a very strong perception ability. It can sense a large range around itself and pay attention to all the creatures around it.

It will carefully investigate the habits and activities of the creatures around it, and figure out what the 'absolute command' is for these creatures.

'Absolute command' is an instruction that a living being must obey.

For example, for the brainworm army, the signals sent by the brainworm must be obeyed, but for an individual creature, the signals are much richer.

If we use the Xu people as an example, the instructions from their superiors and the words from their beloved spouses are absolute orders to them... Of course there are many different situations, but in short, any words that can make a Xu person die for them can be considered an absolute order.

Some creatures have no absolute command, such as a common scorpion, which cannot be completely commanded in any situation.

The Torch Brain will first ignore creatures that do not have absolute commands, and then study those that can be completely commanded.

After studying it, it will begin to imitate the absolute commands of these creatures.

For example, if a creature completely obeys the orders of its mate, the Torch Brain will imitate its mate's words and give it instructions.

The Torch Brain will deeply examine the neural structure of this organism and study what kind of signals can cause an effect on the organism... exactly the same as the absolute command.

Lin found this very interesting... because the Torch Brain did not attempt to directly control the nerves of other creatures.

It commands other creatures by disguising itself as words that they will surely obey.

And its life strategy can be considered successful.

Because many solidified creatures use brain wave signals to communicate with each other, and the torch itself can simulate the communication signals of many species.

The Torch Brain originally survived by relying on this ability, and because it could not move... it needed to trick other creatures into delivering resources to it.

It is unclear what originally caused TorchBrain to survive in this way.

However, Lin guessed that this Torch Brain... might have originally been the neural organ of some solidified creature, which could leave the body... and survive on its own.

However, it did not recover to its original physical state, but continued to live as a nervous organ.

So this wonderful lifestyle came into being.

In the long process of life, it survives by constantly exploiting other organisms...at the same time it also selects some specific species.

Although it is possible to imitate the absolute commands of other creatures, this may not always work.

Even if you imitate the words of a personal creature's favorite object, issuing commands without reason will still be suspected by the other party.

So the Torch Brain selected some creatures that could sense the signal and act directly without any doubt.

These creatures are very convenient for Torch Brain to command and control.

The first group of creatures it selected that could directly follow instructions were some...hearth-fire creatures.

Although this type of creature is not originally a species with division of labor, it has some signals that indicate absolute obedience.

Because they have strong disaster avoidance capabilities, including avoiding predators and various natural disasters.

There is an individual in the group of these hearth creatures who is responsible for giving warnings. When this individual detects danger and sounds the alarm, the entire group will take immediate action.

This habit is very similar to many cellular organisms that Lin knows.

In short, because they react immediately, Torch Brains only need to mimic the information of the alarming individuals to make them act in an instant, because danger usually arrives instantly and they do not have the time to doubt the information.

But this deception did not last long.

Because after the action is over and things quiet down, a few fires will wonder what the significance of the alarm was.

The deceptive signals sent by TorchBrains often include instructions for them to run to a certain location immediately and drop food at that location, and there are also some instructions for them to attack other creatures.

Usually it's because these creatures threaten the TorchBrain, which will ask the Hearthfire to fight them, but this does no good to the Hearthfire at all.

At first the fires did everything as they were told, but gradually they began to doubt... they had the intelligence to doubt.

When they began to doubt, Torch Brain also found it difficult to command them.

However, there are some fires that will never doubt.

In the huge group of Hearthfire, there are some individuals who are too lazy to think and just do what they are told.

Some of these individuals have defects in their nervous organs and underdeveloped thinking, while others are simply too lazy to think.

Then...the Hearthfire group split into two.

One is a group of people with low intelligence who just follow orders, and the other is a group of people with rich thinking who doubt orders.
