40,000 Years of Cultivation

This is a vast lake of smoke.

The whole body is round and the lake is pure, like a silver-white round mirror, buckled upside down at the foot of the rolling green hills.

Once upon a time, this was a place where countless creatures gathered to drink water, and it was also a hunting ground for wolves, tigers, and leopards.

But since the rise of mankind and the occupation of this mirror-like lake, no fierce beast has dared to hunt here.

Those fierce beasts that were too stupid to realize the terrible aspects of mankind were all turned into bones, towers and tombstones of various shapes.

That night, the stars were exceptionally bright. Even the big and round moon could not hide the shining starlights. The stars gathered into a vast ocean, like a silver storm that surged from the sky to the earth. .

The tribe at the foot of the mountain lit a bonfire and was celebrating a grand celebration, celebrating that they had hunted another huge prey.

A tribal man with wrinkles on his face and a slightly slumped back, but stepping on the footsteps of up and down, the ghost and spirit left the tribe and came to the lake.

Behind is a celebration of joy and noise.

There was a silent and deep unknown in front of me.

The tribesmen stared at the lake water, their own reflection.

His forehead tilted back slightly, his nose was big and flat, and the hair on his face had not completely faded away, but two huge canine teeth appeared on his lips. At first glance, he still could not completely get rid of the traces of predicament and obscurity.

But those slightly yellowish, cloudy eyes are stars that quietly absorb the reflection of the lake, gradually becoming deeper and sharper, adding a bit of pitch black and silvery white color.

The tribe people's gradual sharp eyes continued to extend, first licking the bright moon in the lake, and then, following the moonlight and starlight, extending to the sky above the sky.

When the billions of stars burst open in his eyes, he couldn't help but stretch out his furry arms toward the endless star sea, as if he wanted to hold the entire universe in his palm.

"Oh, oh, oh!"

He began to howl, as if to break the darkness between the heavens and the earth with his own cry, to give the moon and each star a name, and summon his people, one day, to look on the moon and the stars, look Look at what the heavenly world looks like.

"boom!"

Just as the tribesmen stretched out their hands against the starry sky and howled, the whole world burst out a glare of golden light again, representing that the tester completed the second leap, evolved from ancient times to middle ancient times, and gave birth to true meaning. "Civilization" on the Internet!

Li Yao watched all this quietly.

He is like an omnipresent and omnipotent god, condescendingly watching the rise, struggle, spread and conquer of countless human tribes.

But he got into the body of this tribal man who was facing the lake and looking up at the starry sky. He personally felt that mankind knew himself for the first time, and he was curious about the starry sky, the kind of joy and touch that couldn't be described with pen and ink.

"That's it?"

Li Yao watched the dancing "self" in the lake, and whispered in confusion, "The so-called'Ultimate Test', is that all?"

No wonder he was puzzled.

Although it is very difficult to make thousands of choices for the evolution of life in a short instant, and ultimately bring about the birth of civilization, these choices basically do not escape the basic route of human evolution. Li Yao only needs to choose by instinct. , It has roughly completed the advancement from a blanket of Archaea to a human tribe.

Such a test seems to be inconsistent with the strength and mystery of the original ancestor, the black wall maker, and it is not enough to hold up a hundred ancient civilizations!

Li Yao pondered for a moment, and instantly understood that he had taken it for granted.

From his perspective, of course, the "ultimate test" is too simple to answer, because he is a pure human being, a 100% gene copy of the original ancestor.

Therefore, he is very clear about how he, the original ancestor, took the evolutionary path, and his instinctive reaction is the correct answer.

But what if the tester is not a human being like him, but other carbon-based intelligent life?

For example, if the tester is a "Conggong" born in rivers, lakes, and seas, such as molluscs such as jellyfish and sponges, would it be possible to see at a glance that "little silver fishes" are the most promising ones to climb to the top of evolution. Race?

Even a tester of the "Co-Workers" would definitely choose to go to the land instead of exploring the deeper ocean to find the one-billionth possibility that civilization will be born out of the sea?

In the same way, the "Zhu Rong clan" is a kind of volcanic and magma environment, which depends on high temperature and "toxic gas" to survive. It is an extremely special carbon-based intelligent life. When a Zhu Rong clan tester is in the original submarine volcanic environment , Can he really bear the temptation to change the structure of the cell's outer membrane and greatly absorb heat?

Even if it seems to be the most successful, the most powerful carbon-based intelligent life "Pangu" is the same. Compared with humans, the Pangu and giant reptiles are more closely related. Many Pangu tribes look like human-shaped Tyrannosaurus rex— —Perhaps, on the native planet of the Pangu tribe, giant reptiles such as dinosaurs have never encountered meteorite attack and climate change, so that the Pangu tribe has evolved into its unique appearance today.

So, when a Pangu tester is faced with the choice of reptiles or mammals, can he choose mammals naturally like Li Yao, and stick to it no matter how many difficulties and setbacks he encounters?

Impossibly, every logical way of thinking of carbon-based intelligent life is greatly affected by its body shape, that is, the environment of the original planet, even if they have obtained the cells of the original ancestors and deeply analyzed the gene fragments of the original ancestors. , I roughly know how the original ancestors took their evolutionary path, but in the face of a rapidly changing environment, when you have to make hundreds of choices within a second, you will still be involuntarily and imprinted with your own civilization.

In other words, the Gonggong tribe, Zhurong tribe, Pangu tribe, or those "mechanical civilization", "black iron civilization", "semi-energy civilization"... the mutation selection of all kinds of testers and the final evolved form are definitely not Li Yao's present This is what I saw.

From this perspective, the thinking of experts and scholars in the fairy palace is very correct-only by replicating real human beings can we have a thorough insight into the mind of the original ancestor, and even without any effort, can complete the test of the original ancestor by instinct.

However, this step is just the beginning.

From the bottom of the sea to the land, from ignorance to wisdom, from the spirit of all things to the king of the universe, mankind still has a long way to go, and this "road to the sky" that follows the stars and enters the universe is probably the real one. test.

Sure enough, when this thought flashed in his mind, another flat, deep and ancient voice rang.

"You came."

Said the voice.

The information interaction method of this voice is similar to that of Pangu and Nuwa, but it uses a very special information compression and encryption structure. The amount of information carried in a syllable is that of Pangu and Nuwa. Dozens of times.

As a result, there were thousands of waves in Li Yao's mind, and it took a long time to digest and absorb the short three syllables.

Li Yao manipulated the tribe man, took a deep breath, and sat down by the lake.

The bright moonlight, dazzling stars, the unhappy lake, and the laughter of the people behind them are the best place to explore the mysteries of the ancient times.

"What should I call you?"

Li Yao tried his best to keep calm, his consciousness condensed into ripples, "Is it the'primitive ancestor', the'black wall maker', or the'primordial human race'?"

"The title does not have any meaning to us. It doesn't matter if it's ‘Original Ancestor’, ‘Black Wall Maker’, or ‘Prime People’.

The voice said, "A long time ago, which is what you call the'prime age', our race created the first civilization in this universe-even if it is not the first generation of civilization in the true sense, it is a civilization that is older than us. We were all conquered and swallowed. Therefore, we call ourselves the "Yuanshi Civilization", you can also call us the "Yuanshi Clan"."

"Cosmic Sea, Yuanshi Clan?"

Li Yao didn't let go of every opportunity to ask questions, "What does the universe mean, does it mean multiverse?"

"Have you seen "Grapes"?"

The voice not only uttered the syllable of "grape", but also showed Li Yao thousands of plants that resemble grapes, "If every universe is imagined as a grape, then a bunch of grapes are gathered together to form a piece.' "Universal Sea", or a "Mother Universe"."

"but--"

Li Yao’s spirit suddenly shrank, “On a vine, there are far more than one bunch of grapes, but hundreds of bunches of grapes. What you mean is that there is more than one'multiverse', but There are countless pieces of multiverse, countless pieces of "universe sea", countless "mother universe"?"

"good question."

The voice said, and a message of refusal to answer was attached to the syllable, and he also gave an explanation. Even if he reluctantly answered, the current Li Yao could not understand it at all. On the contrary, it would consume his mind and make him lost in the heavens and the world. In the vastness and depth, "It's just that I can't tell you the answer. The answer above the universe is far beyond the scope of our information interaction."

"So..."

Li Yao pondered for a moment, feeling that the voice did not mean to reject people thousands of miles away, changed the direction, and continued to ask, "You admit that you are the'Yuanshi' and the'primitive ancestor', that is, within the creation of the Pangu universe. The existence of a hundred generations of civilization? We are all your descendants, your blood, your variants, in a sense, are all created by you?"

"Yes it is."

The voice admitted frankly.

"Then, did you create us and...destroy us and destroy hundreds of generations of civilization?"

Li Yao's divine soul was burning, and the pale golden divine consciousness ripples violently trembled.
