Chapter 9 [The first God, out of loneliness, created "humanity"]
The boundaries of consciousness are expanding infinitely.
When Kars' core completely merged with that drop of divine blood originating from the Creator, the entire world was redefined in its perception.
It understood everything!
It became the ultimate!!!
It can not only deconstruct and reconstruct, but also understand and design.
In theory, it can reconstruct an ordinary piece of iron ore into a complex organism containing life information.
It possesses the potential to create "life".
This divinely granted omniscience allowed Kars to reach the pinnacle that his race could attain.
It is the only god in this cave.
But when this nascent divine consciousness swept across the entire cave, touching every grain of sand and every drop of water, all it returned to was eternal silence.
There is no other consciousness that can communicate with it.
There is no other being that can understand its thoughts and ideas.
Omniscience brings with it the ultimate loneliness.
Having mastered near-omnipotent creativity, Katz realized for the first time that he was "unique".
It longs for a "kindred spirit".
An "other me" with whom I can converse, share, and coexist.
This desire became its primary driving force.
Kaz hovered in the center of the cave, its core radiating a brilliant purple light and its body a silvery glow.
A massive amount of ore was stripped from the rock face by an invisible force, converging into a torrent composed of countless particles.
Kars mobilized all his power, using himself as a template, and began a perfect 1:1 replication.
The particles are precisely rearranged under its will, with each atom placed in the most perfect position.
Several years passed in the cave.
A new individual, identical in appearance, structure, and energy fluctuations to Katz, was perfectly sculpted.
It hovered in front of Kaz.
Katz sent it its first pulse of consciousness.
"Hello?"
no respond.
The new entity was merely a mirror, mechanically mimicking Kars' energy fluctuations, with the same ripples appearing on its body surface.
Katz then tried giving it a simple command: "Move."
A new individual has moved.
It moved the specified distance as instructed, and then fell silent again.
Kaz circled the perfect replica, examining it again and again, trying to find a spark of "self" within it.
But there was nothing there.
This replica is just an empty shell.
It can execute simple commands and mimic the most complex energy forms, but it lacks independent consciousness.
Kars spent decades and poured all his energy into creating only one identical puppet.
This was not what it wanted; frustration overwhelmed its nascent divinity.
Life can be created, but the "self" cannot be copied.
This harsh reality became the second insurmountable barrier for it.
Katz fell into a century-long period of contemplation.
It stared at the hollow replica, then examined its own flowing, liquid metal body.
The inability to create another complete "me" to eliminate loneliness creates a huge contradiction with the reality of having unlimited creativity.
Since a complete copy is not feasible...
So, what about "parts"?
Since it is impossible to create another complete "me", why not give a part of "my" abilities to a new, incomplete "it"?
This is not a copy, but... a split.
It was a sacrifice.
Kaz flew to the hollow replica, dissected himself from the core of his body, and cut out a tiny, shimmering purple essence.
excruciating pain.
It never imagined that voluntarily giving up its own integrity would be such a painful process.
But it didn't stop.
Enduring the excruciating pain, it forcibly imprinted the core material into the hollow replica's body.
It did not give this new individual a complete self, and even stripped it of its ability to think.
He specialized and simplified his powerful ability to break down matter, imprinting it into his very being.
hum-
Once the branding is complete, its form is simplified, and its originally shimmering silver-white body becomes more simple and substantial.
It woke up.
Or rather, it was "activated".
Without thinking or hesitating, almost the instant after its birth, it instinctively rushed toward the nearest rock wall, its body transforming into a silver stream of light that adhered to it.
The rocks are broken down with astonishing efficiency under its erosion.
The first member of the race to have a "job" was born.
Katz named it "The Decomposer".
Watching the "Decomposer" work efficiently and attentively, Katz felt a completely new emotion for the first time, beyond loneliness.
It saw the possibilities of the future.
It realized that the birth of a civilization may not require countless "I"s, but rather countless "we".
learn by analogy.
Kars, his body weakened by the splitting, began creating on an even larger scale.
It repeatedly splits its core, enduring increasingly intense pain with each passing moment.
It created the "Constructor," which is responsible for recombining the particles produced by the "Decomposer."
They created "sensors" responsible for detecting the environment and the distribution of minerals.
They also created "Energizers" who were responsible for extracting energy from specific minerals and distributing energy to the entire population.
Over the decades, this once empty cave has become quite lively.
Dozens of subjects, each with distinct forms and functions, work together silently and efficiently under the will of Kaz.
They have no self; their will, when combined, becomes the will of Katz.
Kars transformed from a lonely god into a king who bore the future of his entire race.
The year Anthill was approximately 300.
Kaz issued his first grand command to all his subjects, one that transcended the instinct for survival.
"Transform the world, establish the 'Nest City'." With the order given, the entire cavern was transformed into a massive and sophisticated construction site.
Everything proceeded in silence.
Dozens of decomposers quickly dismantle the designated rock face into standardized particle modules.
The perceivers floated in the air, their bodies rippling as they scanned the entire cavern's structure, marking the most stable and optimal structural points for a foundation.
Immediately afterwards, the Constructors stepped forward, like craftsmen, taking the particles from the Decomposers and beginning to build the first wall according to the blueprint marked by the Perceivers.
The entire process proceeded without communication or error.
Only absolute efficiency and order.
time flies.
The year Anthill was approximately 500.
Dozens of subjects surrounded their king and mother, Kaz, suspended in the center of the cave.
In the year 521 of the Anthill Era, the first Kaz established his own empire and became the king of the entire world—the first king.
