Although they are small in number, they have more advanced equipment and technology than hundreds of years ago, and they conduct research by standing on the shoulders of giants, so these people have created a race that is more outstanding than previous orcs.
At the same time, in order to satisfy the preferences of individuals or designers, the appearance genes of this race are almost perfect, the body shape and muscles are extremely symmetrical, and the lifespan is many times longer than that of ordinary life.
Finally, they named the new human beings they created after a race in a fantasy story, which is "elves".
The two of them toured and walked through the mountains, and it took a long time before they arrived at the gathering place. At that time, there were already several young people waiting there.
Judging from their appearance, they are all of similar age, probably around 16-19 years old. The men are handsome and the women are beautiful, and they are all wearing white clothes or skirts.
"Raguil and Miguel are back, and now everyone is almost here. Let's go back."
"Yeah, I think I should go back and eat. Xiaobai is hungry too," said a young-looking girl. She placed two fingers together and gently touched them. Suddenly, a small, pure white snake, the thickness of a thumb, emerged from her sleeve and wrapped around her wrist, spitting out its tongue slightly, looking quite adorable.
"Xiao Wa actually brought his pet out. Isn't he afraid of what the teacher will say?" A boy with slightly dark skin rested his head on a stone beside him.
"Woo...ah...Brother Xing, can you not tell the teacher?" The girl put the little snake into her sleeve, put it behind her back, looked at the boy, and asked in a weak voice.
"Ah, actually I'm not that rigid and heartless person..." The dark-skinned boy looked at this scene and felt a little embarrassed, as if he had done something he shouldn't have done.
"Hahaha, you're only careful in front of Xiaowa." A slightly taller girl came over and said a few words jokingly.
After that, they played around for a while, and then took the small spaceship back to the large floating city in the sky, where they usually lived.
As a member of the Sun of Divine Wings, everyone will follow the organization's agreement and not easily interfere with the progress of life on earth, but allow them to develop freely, hoping that these lives will take a different path from before.
——————
Ten years later, in the Parliament Hall of the Sun of the Divine Wing.
Beneath the giant, delicate grey stone wall, a sun pattern is vividly carved, with a faint golden glow flowing across it.
"Then please allow one of the Seven Virtues, the Sun Crown Michael to speak." As the host finished speaking, people in silver robes applauded and welcomed him, and then watched a blond man walk up to the stage. He was wearing a white robe and had a pair of light golden eyes.
"In order to break this silence and restore the world to its former peace, my proposal is as follows..." Icons and texts appeared on the virtual screen behind him.
"Extraordinary power isn't the only option. We can still see countless possibilities in this world. However, excessive indulgence in such power will only narrow our horizons and lead us down an extreme path."
"I'm sure everyone knows the story of the extinction of the dinosaurs. Today, I'm using this as an opportunity to share a lesson: whether we should choose the optimal solution, and whether maximum efficiency means absolute correctness."
"As we all know, during the Jurassic period, dinosaurs still ruled the Pangaea continent. Their various species occupied every corner of the sky, land, and ocean. They were incredibly powerful, and their rule was stable."
"And even then, they haven't stopped evolving. They're still developing various methods of evolution. But whether they're herbivorous or carnivorous, their bodies are almost always growing larger. This is to stack their attributes in the face of increasingly fierce competition among their peers."
"Because if you don't grow bigger, it means you will fail in the competition."
"However, this behavior ultimately sowed the seeds of disaster. Their survival became too dependent on abundant food and abundant environment, and they eventually became completely extinct in a disaster."
“To sum up, it is:
1. When competition becomes increasingly fierce and brutal, individuals are forced to pursue the most efficient and optimal solutions. Individuals who do not adopt this approach will fail in the competition or even die.
2. Once an optimal solution emerges, all individuals will imitate it, further intensifying the fierceness of competition. All individuals in the population begin to converge, meaning their forms and patterns become extremely similar.
3. When individuals of a species all survive according to a single form and pattern, their risk resistance will be greatly reduced. Once the environment changes and that pattern becomes unsuitable, the group will directly perish.
"In the past, due to space constraints, learning costs, and my own conditions, it was difficult to move forward when I reached the second step."
"While this certainly led to competition failure, or the inability to secure first place, it also forced individuals to forge new paths and blaze new trails, ultimately creating new paths or models for the entire ethnic group."
"But the purpose of the 'Mechanical Parliament' is maximum efficiency, rapid replication, and efficient unification. After becoming a disembodied Transcendent, it can freely alter its various modes to replicate the most outstanding examples."
"While this certainly made us powerful in a very short period of time, to the point where we spread across the entire Fourth Spiral Arm of the Milky Way in just two hundred years, it also laid the groundwork for the disaster that followed."
"I once envisioned a completely new path for humanity. But hope is slim, given the existence of the extraordinary power of the Sea of Aegeka."
