In this process, the information they record in that area will not disappear, but will be integrated into the global memory bank, like water droplets flowing into the ocean.
From a human perspective, this would be the death of an individual, but for the Light Language Civilization, it was merely a normal bout of exhaustion.
As for the complete annihilation of a planet's energy, in the eyes of the Light Language Civilization, the entire civilization would simultaneously and peacefully enter an eternal hibernation.
They are not afraid, but instead seal all the information about their existence in the cold planet, waiting for new energy to awaken them again perhaps billions of years later.
"Perhaps they should be called ' Gaia '..."
Having deciphered this information, Wen Jing revised his assessment of the Light Language Civilization.
It's not that they don't know the meaning of death, but rather that their attitude towards death differs from that of humans.
Even after they understood the meaning behind her words, their excitement did not diminish.
It's a state of mind where one feels content to die in the evening if one hears the truth in the morning.
In their view, the death brought about by Wen Jing, this cosmic spectacle, was an unprecedented experience, something that civilizations with individual life comparisons could not achieve.
"Of the two civilizations I've encountered so far, if the Weavers Civilization is the artist, then the Light Language Civilization is the philosopher."
Wen Jing sighed inwardly.
However, it would be a mistake to naively assume that this civilization only perceives and thinks.
As the exchanges deepened, the information recorded by the Light Language Civilization, as well as the technologies they developed, unfolded before Wen Jing like an endless series of windows.
Based on the orbital period of their home planet as recorded by the Light Language Civilization, converted to Federation Standard Time, this civilization has existed for 6.58 million years.
Each of their hyphal particles is an information storage device.
Just like human genetic material, which records a lot of information, but the goal of this information is to enable the macroscopic human body to survive. It does not record the knowledge summarized by predecessors, but needs to be relearned later.
The Light Language Civilization, however, has no such need.
Although there are no catalysts like internal wars, social unrest, or resource crises that would accelerate the iteration of civilizations, their development is linear because knowledge can be accumulated without loss.
Many conjectures and models can be verified through tens of thousands of years of continuous observation.
In the last hundred thousand years, the Light Language Civilization has experienced exponential technological development. One of its pinnacle achievements was the stacking and climbing technique, which allowed it to make contact with Wen Jing's fingers.
And another pinnacle of technological achievement...
Wen Jing was visibly shaken.
The Light Language Civilization has constructed a theoretical system and computational paradigm by recording the relative coordinates of massive black holes, neutron stars, pulsars, and giant attractors in the universe, combined with the minute temperature fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background radiation.
The specific wording is too complicated; it's much simpler to use the concept of Awakened — Universal Cosmic Algorithm.
Because the Light Language Civilization is unable to move, they exhaust all their civilizational power in order to understand the mystery of 'movement' itself.
At this moment, all these massive records and calculation verification processes are being presented to Wen Jing without reservation.
"Buzz!"
She was instantly thrown into an ocean of pure data, not images or sounds, but countless gravitational wave Function, radiation spectrum lines, and equations of spatial curvature.
Even with a 'dual-core' processor, Wen Jing's consciousness was still suddenly and severely damaged by the massive influx of information.
This is not a psychological attack, but it is even worse than one.
Because the link is to Wen Jing's mental energy, it is essentially her mental energy attacking herself.
The Light Language Civilization strives to demonstrate and guide her to understand these data.
Abandon 'seeing and hearing', and understand 'rhythm';
Abandon the concept of 'distance' and understand 'connection';
To utilize their technology, one needs to understand their sensory structures.
At the same time, on the surrounding portraits, the area corresponding to Wen Jing's head either became larger or brighter, which was a synchronous simulation they had observed of her changes.
Wen Jing's head temperature rose. If her head were dissected at this moment, it would be found that a large number of brain cells had died and were growing new ones under the projection of high-dimensional energy.
"Whoosh!"
The next moment, Wen Jing transformed into a pitch-black alien insect.
Even a human-sized brain isn't enough; this is truly mind-bending.
But... it's not enough, still not enough.
Less than a minute later, another pitch-black alien insect appeared next to the scout Wen Jing.
The Devouring Clone paused its devouring, returned to the material universe, and joined the calculation process.
The moment Wen Jing Jinggang transformed into the Wilderness Body, the Light Language Civilization was shocked, and the surrounding portraits began to change.
What's remarkable is that this time the portrait is no longer as abstract as before, but rather it almost completely captures the outline of Wen Jing's Wilderness Body.
As new Wen Jing appeared, their amazement only intensified.
The senses of the Light Language Civilization are different from those of humans. They did not mistake the two insects in front of them for two 'stars', but directly saw that the bodies of the two alien insects were both Wen Jing.
As for her state of having multiple bodies and a unified consciousness, the Light Language Civilization understood it even more quickly.
Because they perceived 'more of Wen Jing ', they began to deduce the model, which triggered a technological explosion.
Both sides fell into a silence that conveyed a vast amount of information.
The shared thinking abilities of the three consciousnesses finally allowed Wen Jing to understand this paradigm.
"However, as a macroscopic life form, if I want to apply this, I need to convert the 'network protocol' used within the Light Language Civilization into a 'nervous system protocol' that I can use."
"My current nervous system is insufficient; new nerve organs need to grow..."
"This organ doesn't process visual or auditory signals; it only processes gravitational waves and background radiation signals from the universe. I already have the former; what I need is the latter... a panel!"
[The direction of evolution has been determined...]
[Evolve by consuming points...]
[ Skill Points: 5744 → 5724]
[Evolution complete]
[Gain the trait ' Radiation Microsense ']
With 20 Skill Points spent, Wen Jing completed this evolution in an instant.
She already possessed radiation senses, but the range of her perception differed from that of the Light Language Civilization. This was a specific fine-tuning; if the biological difference weren't so vast, she wouldn't even need to use so many Skill Points.
With the addition of additional senses, one coordinate system within this massive algorithm finally became clearly visible.
Wen Jing, combining calculations, observed the universe once more.
From this icy moon beneath our feet, to the nearest gas giant, and then to stars further away...
With a feeling as if she were stretching her limbs, she began to clearly sense her precise position in the absolute coordinate system of this universe.
[Master the ' Universal Cosmic Algorithm ', Skill Points +500]
"The place where I landed last time was in that direction... about 1.2 million light-years away from here."
The Skill Points were just a pleasant surprise; the important thing was that after learning this skill, she no longer had to rely solely on sensing the planet's gravity to land on a planet with a suitable gravitational pull.
That's essentially a 'blind jump,' where the distance between each landing point is either far or near, making it impossible to estimate.
Now, she is no longer drifting randomly, but can use the Ancient Wilderness Traversal to make precise long-distance jumps within her sensing range.
It can be said that everything within the cone of light can be reached.
"However, I still can't determine the location of the Federation."
"Although both are algorithms, the algorithms used by humans and the Light Language Civilization are completely different. Unless I personally travel back to the Federation, I cannot establish a new correspondence."
When he came to his senses, through his Clone in the ruins of the civilization, Wen Jing realized that he had spent five days and nights learning this ability.
If I hadn't taken a moment to assess my learning progress, my Strongest Clone would almost have joined in the learning.
Of course, learning this skill is definitely worthwhile.
The Devouring Clone entered the Ancient Wilderness, while the Reconnaissance Clone turned its attention back to the Light Language Civilization itself.
"Big Star!"
The Light Language Civilization, currently experiencing a technological explosion, happily greeted her.
Wen Jing smiled, quickly recognizing that the large star corresponded to the concept of a star in their civilization, and then said, "Thank you."
"Thank you," the Light Language Civilization responded, interpreting it as a way of expressing goodwill.
After all, the Light Language Civilization has no concept of trade; communicating with her is meaningful to them in itself.
Therefore, they did not feel that they had lost out because Wen Jing had learned their technology, nor did they feel that they had gained by observing the technological explosion caused by Wen Jing.
Everything was taken for granted.
However, this is the morality of the Light Language Civilization, not the morality of Wen Jing.
In gratitude for the crucial technology she received, she plans to make this planet her safe haven in the universe, becoming neighbors with this civilization that cannot move on its own.
Although they had probably remained undiscovered by other civilizations due to their unique life form, Wen Jing, recalling the tragedy of the Weavers Civilization, felt that just in case, he could protect this civilization, which could be described as having neither vigilance nor defense.
Thinking of this, Wen Jing asked, "Have you made contact with other civilizations... uh, other planets?"
"Have."
The Light Language Civilization quickly sent her a message.
Believe it or not, there's still a lot of information.
After all, the Light Language Civilization has existed for 6.58 million years. However, they are a special microscopic biological civilization, and without careful investigation, they can easily be mistaken for ordinary single-celled life.
Moreover, even if it is discovered, if the technology is not advanced enough and no one is looking in that direction, it will be incomprehensible.
It was only because Wen Jing possessed both the Door Handle and mental power—a cheat code—that he was able to discover them; it could be considered a cosmic-level "lucky break."
