Surviving in the Wilderness: I Lived for 50 Years

An unusual experience made me realize the value of life, but by the time I looked back, I was already in my twilight years.

It seemed long, yet it passed in a flash.

Bloodthirsty new cr...

Chapter 459...

In his dazed state, Chief Haru saw strange, insect-like races from hundreds of millions of years ago, each with its own language.

Although Chief Haru had never had any in-depth communication or learning with these races, it seemed to be able to directly understand these languages ​​deep in its mind, as if these languages ​​were not foreign, but its own innate mother tongue.

These ancient races possess abilities that Chief Haru cannot comprehend. They claim that all living beings share a common ancestor, the God who created them, but they cannot say what the God looks like.

All we know is that the gods are very powerful and have the ability to change the world and turn the world upside down. The gods exist in the bodies of all living beings, and can make the world start anew whenever they want.

This wasn't the first time Haru had met the mantis-like humanoid creature before, and the wisdom of the Haru clan was bestowed upon them by this mantis-like humanoid creature.

The Haru tribe has always revered this mantis-like humanoid creature as their deity, and their large-scale cultivation of Protoplastia is also at the behest of this mantis-like humanoid deity.

The idea is to revive the glorious ancient civilization, and the first step is to transform the atmospheric composition of the world, bringing the oxygen concentration to an unprecedented level.

Right now, these god-like figures are just higher-dimensional consciousnesses. When the insects of the world evolve to the point of developing self-awareness, Haru can break the things sealed in the DNA fragments within these insects through his hands.

Once these insects break free from the constraints that bind them, their awakening will occur at an incredibly rapid pace. Before long, they will be able to return to their peak state and evolve the intelligence of higher life forms.

The mantis-like humanoid creatures promised the Haru clan that if they could help them achieve this goal, as followers of the gods, they would allow the Haru to evolve into highly intelligent beings surpassing humans.

However, before that, they need to remove all obstacles that might hinder the progress of this plan.

As a token of goodwill in the transaction, the mantis-like humanoid creatures used the sclerotium of the Protoceratops as a medium to connect with Haru's brain and completed the initial modification plan for Haru through some unbelievable means.

This includes improvements in strength, the development of intelligence, and the enhancement of reproductive capabilities.

In order to better utilize Haru's fighting force, some human gene fragments were added during their genetic modification process.

This measure allows Haru, who originally could only have one estrus cycle a year, to reproduce year-round, just like humans.

Moreover, the modifications to Haru go far beyond that. Their embryos are genetically modified to be smaller, which has caused Haru to increase her litter size from a maximum of two offspring to five or six.

In addition, their growth cycle has been greatly shortened. Haru only needs to be cared for for four to five years to reach full adulthood and be able to reproduce. This can be said to have cut their growth cycle in half.

This is also why, after being besieged by the Asada and Mila tribes, Haru's tribe's strength was reduced to a very low level.

However, in just over a decade, these Haru were able to develop their population to an even greater extent than before.

This naturally involves genetic engineering. These Haru are no longer even considered normal organisms; their genes have been modified beyond recognition.

Aside from retaining its external appearance, Haru can be said to be a new species cobbled together entirely to launch a war of species reform.

Deep within Haru's genes, numerous backdoors have been opened, which facilitates better subsequent modifications to them.

Chief Haru is currently communicating with their gods in this way. However, this communication isn't actually a true exchange of language.

When they reach the level of advanced species like the mantis man, speaking with language is already the least efficient way to communicate, and they also have to consider issues such as the universality of language.

They have long since evolved the ability to directly receive each other's brainwave signals and can convert massive amounts of brainwave signals into understandable information at extremely high speeds.

This process is similar to a modern computer receiving a compressed file package; it only needs to decompress the received file package to obtain the massive amount of information inside.

To give a simple example, it's like how humans need several years of repeated memorization to learn all the courses from elementary to middle school and then store most of the information in their brains.

The mantis people's brainwaves only need to receive a compressed file, let alone elementary to middle school courses.

Even all the courses from elementary school to university can be copied and stored in the brain in just a few minutes, and all the information is saved without any omission.

Haru's brainwave intensity is not yet at that level, so Haru still needs to use the mushroom as a bridge to communicate with these higher beings.

Or to put it more vividly, they should be called higher-dimensional energy bodies.

These higher energy beings can no longer directly interfere with the real world. If they want to return to this world, they must rely on Haru's power.

After less than ten seconds of communication, to be more specific, the other party left a backdoor in Haru's brain's memory center, which made it easy for them to directly retrieve and analyze Haru's memories.

Chief Haru hardly had to do anything at this moment, just like a machine that had recorded information and was waiting for its master to investigate.

In less than two seconds, the mantis-man converted a message into an electroencephalogram (EEG) signal, which was then further converted by the sclerotium of the Protoplast into a large number of micro-signals that were more easily received by Haru and stored in Haru's brain.

Even though it was only a two-second transmission, the sheer volume of data generated by the transformation of the sclerotia of the Protoplastia still gave Haru a splitting headache.

Chief Haru's forehead was covered in large beads of sweat, and his body was trembling. Receiving a message transmitted by a god was still too heavy a burden for Haru.

Upon seeing that their leader had regained consciousness, several of Haru's followers immediately surrounded and supported the unsteady Haru leader.

These followers had learned from experience that their leader would become extremely weak after each conversation with the gods.

Now they are needed to protect Chief Haru closely and wait for him to fully recover so that he can give them the instructions given to him by the gods.

Haru never doubted the power of his god. Although he couldn't see it in reality, those incredible abilities were not something that human beings could easily accomplish.
