Starting from the spirit cage and crossing the heavens
Chapter 72 The truth of the matter
"The exploding population means that in order to support these people, society needs to consume more of the earth's resources and build larger cities.
At that time, the earth was actually quite scarce in various resources, and the earth was already overwhelmed.
So mankind turned its attention to the stars, and interstellar immigration became the hottest topic at that time. The federal government was also busy building interstellar spacecraft, and this required the use of massive resources.
It was at that time that the earth began to change.
The intensification of this change is accompanied by the existence of the source of life. When it was first discovered by scientists, the changes on the earth became more and more obvious." Bai Yuekui said slowly.
"The Earth is changing?"
Zhang Mo's brows knitted together. Did the signs of the disaster start from the earth? It didn't start from the earth vine that first appeared.
Based on the information he knew, he guessed that the disaster occurred because after humans in the old world discovered the source of life, they began to use a large number of animals, plants, or humans themselves to conduct research on the source of life.
.
It is very likely that something went wrong in some aspects at that time, and a failed mutant plant called the vine was created. After being discarded, the vine grew and multiplied at a very fast speed.
This may be related to the rapid cell regeneration technology studied in the old world at that time, which allowed the ground vine to grow so quickly.
It covered the whole world in a short period of time, and eventually grew into a giant ground vine that could easily change the geological structure and cause the continental plates to move, thus causing this disaster.
Why did the change begin on the earth?
"So what are the specific changes?" Zhang Mo asked.
"The first change is that scientists have detected a strange energy wave all over the world.
And this energy wave seems to come from the energy of the earth itself.
The location, time, and duration of its appearance each time are not fixed, and its radiation range is extremely wide. Although the detection results have no impact on humans and animals, it has affected some plants."
"plant?"
"Yes, some plants have mutated, and those mutated plants can be seen even in today's doomsday world.
Before the end of the world, half of the Australian continent was desert, and the rest of the land had little vegetation. But now, most of the land is desert, and few plants can be seen.
And if you are in Eurasia and North and South America, you will see many terrifying mutant plants, as well as many types of plant-based pole-eating beasts."
"Well, I have never been to other continents." Zhang Mo said.
"After that, the earth has been emitting that kind of energy wave intermittently, so doomsday theories appeared, and tickets for immigrant starships began to be gradually sold at that time.
In the days that followed, more and more strange images and disasters began to appear frequently on the earth.
At first, fishermen discovered that as time went by, there were fewer and fewer marine organisms to catch. In a short period of time, the marine life inexplicably decreased by 80%, and this proportion is still rising.
Subsequently, people all over the world continued to witness some weird, never-before-seen, strange creatures landing on the ground from the ocean with the characteristics of marine life."
"I do know this. I saw an old world newspaper in a human gathering area before, and it said that some weird creatures started to land from the ocean and landed on the ground." Zhang Mo nodded.
“As strange creatures landed on the ground, frequent geological disasters began to occur, with tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and especially earthquakes becoming particularly frequent.
Where earthquakes occur, you can always see a huge plant emerging from the ground and extending to the ground."
"Ground vine?"
"Yes, it is hard to imagine that the culprit that frequently causes tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes is actually a plant. Later, it even caused such a devastating disaster as the movement of continental plates. You can imagine how huge it is.
During that disaster, violent geological movements tore apart the original continents, causing them to collide with each other and create new continents.
The city was buried in the yellow sand and wasteland, and the super mountain range of 10,000 meters high became a new world wonder.
The disaster also made the global climate extremely unstable, causing countless deaths.
The deaths of these people created the original Mana ecology on the ground."
"The original Mana ecology on the ground..." Zhang Mo pondered for a moment, it should be related to the spores released by the ground vines.
He looked at Bai Yuekui and continued to listen to her.
“The original Mana ecology was formed in the ocean, which is also the reason why marine life decreased and the reason why the first polar-devouring beasts with marine life characteristics landed on the ground from the ocean.
Every time ground vines cause earthquake damage, the vines extending to the ground will release spores.
People infected by the spores will have their life essence absorbed, and flowers of Mana will grow in their bodies.
The appearance of the Flower of Mana attracted those strange sea creatures that landed on the ground, which were the original pole-devouring beasts."
"So the geological impact of the ground vines provided the most favorable growth environment for the original mana ecology on the ground. Because of the large number of casualties, the original pole-devouring beasts were able to absorb the life essence arbitrarily.
And because the human body ingested the spores of the earth vine, the Mana flower grew. The pole-eating beasts fed the mana flowers and upgraded. Therefore, the pole-devouring beasts not only had human physical characteristics, but also knew how to interact with humans.
Human combat?" Zhang Mo asked analytically.
"Yes, the devastating geological disaster not only caused civilian casualties, but also caused heavy losses to the military.
The Flowers of Mana, which absorbed a large amount of life essence, grew into the King of Flowers, and the pole-devouring beasts they gave birth to also evolved into more advanced and powerful beings.
Each of these advanced pole-devouring beasts, such as the transformed pole-devouring beast and the king-level pole-devouring beast, has its own unique abilities.
The calyx beast combined with the spiny eel can release spiritual impact, and everyone within the impact range will be painfully drained of their life essence.
The king level not only has this ability, but also other abilities.
The remaining army is simply unable to resist the resurrected pole-devouring beasts and prevent the spread of Mana's ecology."
"Where did the spine come from? This thing shouldn't be considered a pole-devouring beast, right?" Zhang Mo continued to ask.
"In fact, the reason why humans have no power to resist in the face of the Mana ecology is that allowing the Mana ecology to spread has a huge relationship with the birth of more advanced pole-devouring beasts and spine Gu."
"Spine Gu? This thing should be easy to deal with, right? An ordinary gun can kill it."
Zhang Mo was a little surprised. The last straw that broke the camel's back was actually the not-so-awesome Spine Gu? This was something he didn't expect at all.
