Extraordinary Sailing

bell! bell! bell!

There are crisp and pleasant copper bells ringing in the chest, as if to remind Ai Wen.

Looking back at the giant tree at the foot, which looks like ash and banyan, supporting the entire sky, all I can see is the shadowy scales and half claws.

"After today, this 'tree of life', which has not changed for at least three hundred years, should be a little different, right?"

After talking to himself, Ivan no longer hesitated.

It's like a scientist who is on the podium and wants to demonstrate his latest research results to countless audiences and colleagues, but it is the "world consciousness" itself that wants to witness this moment!

Putting his hands on his chest, accompanied by the melodious sound of copper bells, wisps of light quality were extracted from the "heart", which not only contained his initial [Gene Theory], but also carried this pioneering science. The spiritual power and spiritual origin of knowledge.

When a red hemlock seed the size of an egg appeared in Ivan's hands, even his present body became a little more illusory.

Obviously, a wizard may have many pioneering achievements, but he has only one chance to be tested.

If you can't pass the test of the world itself, you will be severely injured after being kicked back to the material world. In a short period of time, it will be difficult to have a second chance to start over.

Unless you can hit the big luck and get a copy of the spiritual origin of the New World.

Whoosh—

Aiwen threw the seeds in his hands far away into the chaotic "sea of ​​world consciousness".

The spiritual wind suddenly blows.

The moment he escaped from the protection of the world tree layer of blue light, the seeds began to take root and germinate rapidly, and within a breath, they grew into a tall red hemlock in front of Ivan with luxuriant branches and leaves.

Although there is no concept of spatial scale here, compared with each other, the size is already comparable to the smallest branch on the tree of life.

This means that although the test of "world consciousness" has not yet begun, the tree of life, which has always maintained a mysterious connection with Aiwen, has already recognized this knowledge.

It's just like no one can tell how promising the laboratory finished products are, and everything needs to pass the test of the "market".

then.

At the moment when the red hemlock was formed, in the root of the world, the chaotic and majestic airflow blows from all directions, and the infinite truth it carries manifests itself into layer upon layer of symbolic symbols.

The astonishing momentum seemed to uproot this big tree!

huh huh huh.

The tall red hemlock began to swing violently in the chaotic-colored airflow.

At this moment, even the confident Ivan couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

After all, they are two different worlds, although from the results of experimental verification, my own research should be able to stand the test. But after all, the matter is of great importance. What if something unexpected happens?

That is the consequence that I cannot bear in the crisis.

Fortunately.

In the first wave of air currents, the red hemlock managed to hold on!

And it seems that after some kind of tempering, the part above the trunk is gradually vain, while the root part is slowly solidifying. This is because [genetic theory] there is only the root system at the beginning.

Seeing such a scene, Ai Wen felt a little relieved.

Although her own school has no predecessors who can provide some experience and knowledge that does not fall into words, Nymph, who is a high-ranking wizard, is not stingy. According to the experience of her branch, as long as she can survive the first round, it shouldn't be a big problem.

The "School of Wizardry" imitates the extraordinary origin of some primitive professions, artificially "presupposing" the mysterious origin that belongs to the school alone. Reverse from the "source" to further create original witchcraft, systematic advanced rituals and even rune literature systems and so on.

Gathering the power of all people to continuously improve the corresponding knowledge system, through long-term accumulation and geniuses' flashes of inspiration, finally realize the great cause of realizing the "mysterious source"!

In this process, it is not required that a person must be an all-rounder in many aspects, but he must go deep into his own research field.

Continuously extending from the known to the unknown, the "pioneering achievements" made must be unprecedented. When a wizard uses this achievement to promote, it also means that he has chosen his main research direction in the future.

Aiwen's [Gene Theory] can be said to have directly faced the ultimate problem of biology.

That is: what is the root of life, where does life come from?

In the world of science, there are still two controversies, "creation theory" and "evolution theory". In a world with gods, the mainstream theory is undoubtedly "creation theory"!

Although the rhetoric of each civilization and country is different, there is a power that transcends everything and shapes everything in the world.

Including the "Tree of Life", the mysterious source of the "Activation School", the most essential core concept is "creating all things", transplanting part of the Creator's power to oneself.

However.

It is undoubtedly unrealistic to say that the "tree of life" really created everything in the world out of thin air like a creator, or that it bears all living things like fruit.

Because wizards of all schools are well aware that the "mysterious source" is mostly artificially shaped based on feasible theoretical foundations, personal wishes, and ancient legends.

It's as if out of yearning for birds, the knowledge of various basic disciplines was integrated with "aeronautics", and finally an airplane was created.

Legends are legends, reality is reality.

Whether in the past or now, there is no such great existence at all, otherwise the sages would not be able to entrust the source of mystery to him.

With the knowledge reserves accumulated by the current school, if we continue to work hard in that direction, maybe a thousand or even thousands of years later, we will still be far away from this goal.

It's like the tree of life, which is the first "mysterious source" in the world, has not been able to manifest in the long years that have passed.

Even the "Tree of Life School" has been dated several times!

However, Aiwen redefined him with a more scientific thinking and endowed him with a brand new concept.

First, for individuals.

Proteins in the human body need to be continuously produced with reference to the information carried in genetic genes. For example, human stomach cells are renewed every 7 days, skin cells are renewed every 28 days, red blood cells are renewed every 120 days, and liver cells are replaced every 180 days.

In a year or so, 98% of the cells in the human body will be renewed once, while bone cell renewal takes 7 years, so the cells in the whole body will be replaced every seven years.

Seven years later, aren't you you? you or you? The roots are all in the genetic material in the body.

Just like when doing [artificial blood and flesh] experiments, plant a stem cell, and the body can grow into what the "gene" requires it to express. Pork is still pork, and beef is still beef.

[Gene] is undoubtedly the "tree of life" in the organism that maintains the continuity of life.

Second, for the population.

In the study of biology, if you follow each species long enough, you discover that they share a common ancestor. For example, the very common pinaceae plants have more than 230 species in 3 subfamilies, 10 genera, and you can notice this as long as you observe carefully.

Therefore, at the macroscopic level extending to the entire biosphere, the "tree of life" can be used to connect the "blood relationship" of plants, animals and bacteria.

In the future, with the continuous enrichment of human understanding of species, the tree of life will gradually become full. It can be said that the "tree of life" is one of the most important structural principles in biology.

Aiwen will not deny the "creation theory", because that is the foundation of the existence of the mysterious source, but the creator is not an untouchable or even unimaginable supreme existence, but a power that can be mastered by "activation school" wizards.

Back to the original question.

Since all life comes from the "tree of life", what is the "tree of life"?

Aiwen gave his own definition:

The "tree of life" is the commonality connecting all living individuals (including elemental life) on this planet, and it is the original gene! It is the genetic code rooted in the "blood"! Be the first one!

in addition.

In the material world, the most widely spread "theory of creation" is not the tree of life, but actually the "soup of life".

In the barren world, the first life came from the primitive ocean.

However, there is no wizarding school with the "Soup of Life" as its mysterious source, so Aiwen unceremoniously used it in the origin of his own school.

The original "tree of life" (original gene) was born in the spring of life!

Anyway, even if it is the Church of the True God, in order to preach, it is not uncommon to force relationships with residents in other regions, not to mention that Aiwen's reformed theory is almost impeccable.

The "tree of life" comes from all biological individuals and transcends it. It is one of the fundamental attributes that determine why something is something. Finally, it will be refined into a common authority by the "activation school".

Even because of the characteristics of genetic variation, it is also implied in it, which further consolidates the "creation theory" and integrates the "evolution theory" at the same time, leaving room for the further development of the theory.

at this time.

The test of "world consciousness" has finally come to an end.

As the pioneering knowledge contained in this red hemlock is gradually revealed, every blow of the chaotic airflow on the red hemlock will not hurt it, but will make it grow stronger.

In a short period of time, it has grown to be taller than the branches standing under Aiwen's feet.

At the end, a brilliant light somewhat similar to the "Tree of Life" shot out from the red hemlock, pushing back the sea of ​​world consciousness far away.

Immediately afterwards.

clang--

In the chaotic and chaotic world, a loud and clear bell suddenly sounded.

"It's done!"

Hearing this voice, Ai Wen's spirit instantly lifted.

next moment.

The tall red hemlock suddenly disintegrated, twisted and changed to vaguely form a blood-red double helix structure like DNA, and then turned into a bronze color like a circuit board in a memory at the next moment.

After repeated several times, it turned into a torrent of light quality carrying countless information, penetrated Aiwen's body, and injected it into the body of the tree of life under his feet.

Rumble.

The giant tree that opened up the sky began to tremble continuously.

Aiwen, who was full of expectations, thought that a new thick branch would extend from the "tree of life".

But I didn't expect that it was not the branches and leaves that changed in the end, but the incredibly thick trunk.

Under the nourishment of that ray of light, it kept straightening up and up, and propped up the sky above the head higher and farther. In the process, the whole "tree of life" was slowly transforming into the appearance of the red hemlock.

In Aiwen's slightly dull eyes.

After a few minutes.

The huge "life tree" that originally looked like ash and banyan has become a new image with four parts of red hemlock, three parts of ash wood and three parts of banyan tree.

Brilliant like the sun, cool like a spring, the extraordinary spiritual light permeated this "sea of ​​world consciousness", and did not stop until it expanded the coverage area by more than one-third.

This scene also marked that the promotion ceremony of Aiwen's upper wizard has been declared a success!

immediately.

A beam of golden light shot from an unfathomable place in the depths of the "root of the world", covering Ivan with a sense of substantial power, making him involuntarily take a half step back on the branch.

The sounds of nature echoed in his ears, and countless golden symbols that seemed to contain the root truth continued to flow into his body from the light, condensing on his chest and turning into the shape of a key.

Then it projected brilliant golden light again, dyeing his manifested body in a golden blue color of noble glass texture.

Raising his hand to gently cover his chest, the smile on his face was uncontrollably rippling:

"This is mine. [True name]!"
