Chapter 776 Vegetative State and the Conference
Chapter 776 Vegetative State and the Conference
On this day, Jieming had just finished his daily deduction of the "Mustard Seed Dao True Body Technique".
Just as his consciousness slowly withdrew from the inner sanctum, a familiar mental fluctuation came from the communication network of the incense and divine path.
"My lord, the vegetative state civilization cultivation program has reached the predetermined standards. Please come and inspect it."
Jemin raised an eyebrow slightly.
This progress is even faster than he expected.
It has only been a few hundred years since the first active tissue from a vegetative state was put into a culture chamber.
For vegetative-type people whose group consciousness is composed of tiny individuals, this period of time is enough to complete the most basic reproduction, but it is also necessary to rebuild the most important collective neural network of the entire civilization.
The fact that they can now proactively report the completion of their training indicates that they have regained the collective wisdom that a normal civilization should possess.
With that in mind, he didn't hesitate and stepped directly into the teleportation array.
As the space slightly distorted, a slightly damp plant scent wafted towards us.
This is a newly transformed, life-bearing planet.
Compared to the bustling Dragonman Planet, this place is much quieter.
Most of the planet remains covered in gray-white rock layers and weathered gravel, except for a vast valley near the equator, where life is so abundant it's almost overwhelming.
From high above, the green expanse resembles an emerald inlaid on gray rocks.
Purple-red moss covers the valley floor, and low shrubs with spiral leaves spread along the hillside. Several trees hundreds of meters tall stand at the valley entrance, their branches intertwined to form a natural green dome.
The Black Giant Priest in charge of the project was already waiting at the valley entrance.
Upon seeing Jemin appear, he immediately bowed in greeting.
"My Lord, the Plant Civilization has currently established a total of thirty-seven collective consciousness nodes."
"The neural network covers the entire valley, and all the micro-individuals have completed information sharing."
Jemin nodded: "Did you experience any split consciousness?"
"no."
The black giant priest answered with absolute certainty.
"All newly added consciousness will be automatically connected to the main network. Currently, the overall level of consciousness stability has reached the standard of normal civilization."
"Very good." Jemin stepped into the valley.
The moment his foot touched the ground, the entire valley suddenly moved.
All the plants in the valley reacted synchronously at the same time.
The moss covering the valley undulates gently, the tree canopies sway softly, and the vines intertwine with each other.
Then, countless tiny green organisms, almost indistinguishable to the naked eye, emerged from every leaf, every vine, and every clump of moss. They converged into a silent, flowing green torrent.
The torrent slowly rises, constantly compressing and shaping itself.
Finally, it coalesced into a humanoid figure as tall as him in front of Jemin.
That humanoid figure was even more exquisite than the vegetative person from Viola's dimension.
Leaves weave into a soft face, vines form limbs, petals intertwine to form eyes, and even the texture on the surface of the body can be vaguely seen as layers similar to a robe.
It slowly bent down, and its sound was not like that of an ordinary life form, but rather like the harmony formed by the gentle rubbing of countless branches and leaves.
"Welcome, great wizard."
Jemin activated his all-powerful eye, instantly scanning the body inside the vegetative state patient.
Data quickly emerged, and the results showed that these vegetative patients were developing even better than the Black Giant Priest had reported.
Jemin nodded in satisfaction.
"It seems that you have rebuilt a complete neural network."
The person in a vegetative state nodded slightly: "Yes, there are currently thirty-seven large consciousness nodes, and all knowledge can be shared in real time."
"Any new information acquired by an individual will be synchronized to the entire population within three breaths."
Jemin continued, "Have you settled in yet?"
The person in a vegetative state fell silent for a moment, as the entire group was thinking in unison.
A moment later, the voice composed of countless lives rang out again.
"There is no war here, no constant death. The people... love it here."
Upon hearing this, a smile appeared in Jemin's eyes.
For the vegetative beings who had experienced enslavement and interdimensional wars, this quiet, life-bearing planet was indeed paradise. He surveyed the entire valley: "Are the current resource supplies sufficient?"
"adequate."
"That's what the person in a vegetative state replied."
"But as the population grows, we need more land suitable for breeding."
"It is estimated that the existing valley will reach its carrying capacity limit in 500 years."
The black giant priest in charge of managing the planet immediately added, "My lord, we have completed the planning for the second ecological zone, and we can begin expansion at any time."
"Very good." Jemin nodded slightly. "Proceed according to plan."
Then, he looked at the vegetative patient in front of him, and his voice became more solemn:
"Considering your potential, from today onwards, you are no longer merely experimental subjects. The Plant Civilization has officially become a second-tier subordinate civilization of my Moxia. What is your response?"
The words fell.
A soft rustling sound suddenly filled the entire valley.
Hundreds of millions of individual plants are constantly communicating through neural networks.
The entire forest seemed to come alive, with countless leaves swaying gently and responding in a continuous stream.
A moment later, the person in a vegetative state bowed deeply to Jemin again: "Our people accept your protection, and we are willing to fulfill our contract."
"Since you are willing to give us land, resources and knowledge, we will also dedicate our research results, labor and all the wisdom of civilization to you."
Jemin nodded calmly:
"Very good, I hope you won't let me down in the future."
The person in a vegetative state raised their head, their eyes, formed from flower petals, gently curving upwards: "No."
"The ethnic group has completed its deduction. Following you is currently the optimal solution."
Upon hearing this answer, the black giant priests nearby couldn't help but chuckle softly, their chests trembling slightly.
Jemin chuckled and shook his head.
Indeed, communicating with rational civilizations is much less strenuous.
After returning to the main laboratory, Jemin sat back down at his workstation.
Just as he was about to continue organizing the soul science data, the magic network terminal suddenly lit up, and a familiar communication icon appeared in the center of the screen. It was Avery Knight.
Jemin reached out and tapped the screen, which displayed only a few lines of text.
[Ten years later, travel to plane 147 of Norren.]
Location: College No. 147, Norren.
Attending a college meeting.
[Attached: Teleportation coordinates.]
There was no further explanation.
Jemin looked at those few lines of text and pondered for a moment.
The fact that I was specifically notified to attend indicates that this meeting is at least related to Level 6 wizards.
However, since no details were provided, it is most likely an internal matter of the academy and probably not a major issue.
With that in mind, he casually recorded the time into the schedule in his mental sea, and then continued to study the information in front of him.
(It's almost the end of the month, so I'm adding an extra chapter to ask for your monthly votes!)
