Chapter 43 Power Source
The civilizations of the past... don't seem to be much different from those of today.
But there are some special 'abilities'.
For example, Crystal Thinkers can transform into the form of souls... To be precise, there are many creatures that, after reaching a certain stage in their lives, may transform into another form that was completely unperceivable before.

This rather miraculous transformation of life can also achieve a certain balance and develop slowly.
Some organisms are slowly collapsing for certain reasons and need to find a new balance.
Crystal Thinkers create souls through thoughts, and souls then constitute Crystal Thinkers. This cycle repeats until there are fewer and fewer crystals that can constitute Crystal Thinkers. When the souls discover this phenomenon, they become more and more desperate. Their collective despair can create a huge Crystal Thinker from the remaining crystals. This Crystal Thinker will then go to the next place with crystals and start a new cycle.
The key point of this cycle is that the giant crystal thinker will go looking for new crystals. During the search, those desperate souls will begin to die, because their food is also made up of the thoughts of the crystal thinker. At this time, they will generally start to kill each other.

If you fly in the void for too long, these souls will become fewer and fewer, and if it takes too long, they will completely perish.
This happened once, a huge Crystal Thinker flew in the void for too long and could not be found, and the Crystal Thinker souls and the soul kingdom they built completely disappeared.
The Giant Crystal Thinker itself is a very special individual. It will not think and generate new souls, but will only look for the next crystal-rich area.

Therefore, the journey of the giant crystal thinker did not stop, and after a long journey it finally arrived at a new location.
As always, the giant Crystal Thinker will crash itself into a new area upon arriving, destroying the local creatures and turning the area into a place where crystals are produced.

When the giant Crystal Thinker crashes into itself, it seems to cause some wonderful effects. For example, the crystal resources distributed throughout the ground by a Tumbler will slowly gather towards the location where it crashed, as if they were alive.
This time, since all the souls had died, no new Crystal Thinkers were generated after the giant Crystal Thinkers crashed into themselves. Their life cycles also came to a standstill, and no crystals gathered at the crash site.
It seems that the phenomenon of crystal aggregation is also related to the soul.

But the Crystal Thinker species did not die out.
Because it did not completely destroy the local creatures when it crashed itself, many species still survived after the drastic change in the environment. There were also some relatively primitive intelligent species. These intelligent species came to the area where the giant Crystal Thinker crashed itself and established some settlements here.

Mainly they are attracted by the fragments of the huge Crystal Thinker, and these species slowly begin to worship the crystal fragments of the Crystal Thinker.
At first, they just thought that the crystals of the Crystal Thinker were in line with their aesthetic tastes. Later, they discovered that the crystals of the Crystal Thinker were different from ordinary stones and often underwent some changes in shape. They regarded this as a phenomenon like oracle, and by observing the changes in the crystals, they also created a large number of theories.

In short, the primitive sects were formed in this way... and this was also the beginning of their demise.
The thoughts of these primitive intelligent creatures seemed to have some influence on the crystals of the Crystal Thinkers. The crystals that were originally scattered underground all over the world began to gather towards the crash site. Some of these underground crystals were very large, and during their movement they would produce many catastrophic phenomena such as earthquakes, once again causing drastic changes in the local environment.
This group of primitive intelligent creatures continued to pray to the crystal god they worshipped as the surface of the earth shook, but they did not know that their prayers were the source of their destruction.

These crystals can detect and respond to the thoughts of living things, not just the original crystal thinker species, it seems that many species can make it respond.
The constant prayers of the local species eventually led to more and more crystals gathering, and their primitive civilization finally completely disappeared in the shaking of the earth.
However, the crystals stopped moving because these local species could not generate souls or anything like that.

After a long time, some new creatures evolved in the area. Some of them worshipped the crystals, while some simply used the crystals as materials to build buildings. But no matter what species it was, they would have some ideas when they saw such a large crystal gathering area.
Whenever a living being has an idea, these crystals will change.
At first, there were only some relatively simple changes, such as changing into another shape, or gathering and moving in a certain direction, but gradually they began to have purpose. For example, civilizations that used buildings to create crystals might experience large-scale building collapses at some point, and some civilizations living in the crystallization area would experience phenomena such as earthquakes.

These Crystal Thinker crystals seem to be killing these intelligent creatures on purpose.
Since these situations are very similar to natural phenomena, no creature suspects the crystals themselves, but no matter what, they will continue to evaluate the strange phenomena in the crystal area. In addition to imagining that there are gods in the crystal area, some also regard the crystal area as the residence of the "devil".

These thoughts of theirs can keep the Crystal Thinker crystals moving. Even if all intelligent creatures have evacuated the crystallization area, they are still trying to kill these intelligent creatures in various ways, including drilling underground to cause large-scale earthquakes as they did in the past.
The purpose of the crystal doing this seems to be to make the local creatures gather their thoughts, that is, to feel great despair towards the Crystal Thinker Crystal. The initial actions did not make them too desperate, but with the continuous efforts of the Crystal Thinker Crystal, these creatures gradually noticed that this series of disasters seemed to be aimed at themselves. No matter where they moved, there would always be various disasters, mainly earthquakes, following them.
As they became more and more desperate, these Crystal Thinker crystals gathered together again to form a huge Crystal Thinker.
This means that Crystal Thinkers do not necessarily need the thoughts of a soul. The despair gathered from other creatures can also lead to the birth of a giant Crystal Thinker.

Moreover, this Crystal Thinker has many more functions than the previous one that could only fly to find new areas. It captured some local creatures, used their thinking to drive itself forward, and continued its journey in the void.
After a long time, it became what Lin sees now.
Crystal Thinkers capture creatures from other civilizations and use their thinking to drive their own activities.
At the beginning, they could only capture some specific species, and not all species' thinking could give them the "power", but they slowly researched and came up with a solution, which was to transform other species that were originally unsuitable. For example, the whale dwellers were originally unsuitable species, but they became suitable after being transformed.

As for why the Crystal Thinkers always insist on having other species give them "power" instead of finding a way themselves, it is unclear.
銆愯� ...
The main thing is that through this history, we understand that they are indeed a civilization from the previous era of the origin of the void.
To be precise, the 'second recording area' stores all this kind of civilization, which are much more powerful than those Lin had seen before.
