Chapter 654 Lu Yuan's Blood Laboratory
The Linyuan clan's investigation did not last long. Soon, they discovered several other ancient races existing in the world and made contact with them.
"Yuan Tie, I didn't expect you to still be alive and linger until the last era. You are really old but still alive."
"Heh." Yuan Tie took a step forward and said coldly, "We are in good condition."
"You, on the other hand, have lost a lot of weight and are in a depressed mood. The next time we meet, I will definitely sacrifice you with blood!"
In front of a piece of white jade, shadowy figures appeared in every corner of the room like holographic images.
They have different forms and possess ancient blood.
Some of them are covered with scales, as black as charcoal, with horns twisted like dead branches and red eyes.
This is the ancient race called the "Evil Dragon Clan", whose fighting power is no different from that of their Linyuan Clan. In the First Era, they were mortal enemies and wars broke out many times.
There is also a race that looks like a mountain of flesh, the Blood Tao clan. This crazy race transplants organs from the ancient mythical "Taotie" through self-mutilation, causing their bodies to become deformed and swollen, and their appetites can never be satisfied.
Wherever they passed, the spiritual veins of mountains and rivers, and the flesh and blood of living beings were all devoured, leaving only desolation. They even devoured a small world in order to survive until now.
But the leader of the Blood-Gluttonous Clan is very intelligent, and he looks at everyone around him with a pair of black eyes.
There is also the Soul-killing Clan, who are like a ball of black mist and are proficient in "predicting the future" and "space travel".
These ancient races are naturally powerful, otherwise they would not have been able to escape to the present day.
Yuan Tie snorted coldly: "Now that everyone is here, there is no need to waste time. Tell me, what are your plans?"
The relationship between these races was not good in ancient times.
Even if their own race does not have a good reputation, they are unwilling to associate with someone who is more notorious.
No matter how unhappy we are in this new era, we have to endure it.
This is the last era, the disaster has not been resolved yet, they must find a way to leave!
The leader of the evil dragon clan had a flash of red light in his eyes, and a faint bloody smell emanated from his surroundings: "Four ancient races have already appeared, and it is not ruled out that more races will appear in the future!"
"Right now, the biggest obstacle for our race to conquer the world is that the rules of blood sacrifice have been blocked."
"Even if we slaughter as many lives as possible, the spiritual essence we gain is just a drop in the bucket. It is more than 90% weaker than before."
"Yuan Tie" of the Linyuan clan said coldly: "We have already investigated this matter and are ready to use a large number of lives for the 'blood sacrifice' to break the rules barrier... The four of us have joined forces to gather the sacrifices for the heaven. If that doesn't work, we can sacrifice some of our clansmen."
The other party shook his head: "It's difficult! Our race has long been unrecognized by this world."
"No matter what you do, you are just going against the trend, getting half the result with twice the effort, and you will never be able to gain any luck. The general trend of the world is against us. Only by going with the trend can we achieve twice the result with half the effort."
"How do we go with the flow?" asked the ugly-looking leader of the Blood Devouring Clan.
The leader with a dragon head and a human body said, "It's very simple. Help the civilization of this era and make it stronger. The rules of heaven and earth have changed. We are not the protagonists. These weak civilizations are the protagonists."
"I heard that there is another way these days, something like materialistic technology..."
When these ethnic leaders heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little contempt in their hearts.
What a bullshit materialistic path! It’s just the choice of the weak!
They were prominent, had extraordinary combat power, and some were even innate myths! Even in the First Era, they were all powerful tribes. If these weak creatures did not bow down to them immediately, they would become blood sacrifices in the next second.
But now, these weak species have become the protagonists of some era, which is simply laughable.
However, this is the rule of heaven and earth. No matter how powerful they are, they cannot change the rules - they must rediscover the rules of blood sacrifice.
Blood sacrifice is so powerful that it is almost the highest rule of idealism. Once, an innate mythology sighed sincerely: "Give me enough people, I can transform the world into what I want!"
"I know you don't want to support the ants." The leader of the evil dragon tribe sneered, "Who wants to coax the ants every day? See what technology they are developing? But the new technology of the ants is also commendable."
With a wave of his hand, he demonstrated industrial products such as light bulbs, air conditioners, refrigerators, and televisions.
These functions can also be accomplished through idealistic means, but from an economic perspective they are obviously not as good as materialistic industry.
"Is materialistic technology a threat to us?"
The creature with a dragon head and a human body opened his palm and smiled: "They are just chickens and dogs. They will break if you touch them."
A layer of gray field light bloomed from his palm, and with a light "pop" sound, the light bulb exploded, and the TV and air conditioner also stopped working.
The expressions of many powerful men relaxed a little. The changes in the underlying rules made them very passive, but they couldn't help but feel a little contempt for such a weak creature.
"Who is the most powerful civilization in this world?"
“I don’t know.”
"No matter what, we must manipulate some puppet civilizations to achieve our ultimate goal and uncover the rules of blood sacrifice."
"Especially the civilizations that are recognized by this world as having great fortune, they are the best targets for manipulation!"
"Let these civilizations with great fortune take the initiative to break the blood sacrifice barrier, and we will achieve twice the result with half the effort!"
These words caused many powerful people to fall into deep thought again.
Someone else asked: "Is there a more detailed strategy? Where is the civilization with great fortune?"
"The world is so vast that it will take us forever to find this kind of civilization."
"There are also sacrifices required for the blood sacrifice." Yuan Tie also added, "Our tribe's myth [Taotie Ding] explored the surrounding area and couldn't find even a yellow-level sacrifice. If you want to change the rules, you need at least a heaven-level sacrifice, and there must be many of them. If you want to sacrifice your tribesmen, how many people are you willing to give?"
"No, we are not recognized by the world. It will be difficult for our tribe to reproduce. If one dies, there will be one less."
"If we sacrifice another group of people, won't we be left alone?"
This is indeed a problem. They are emotionally indifferent, but they don't want all their people to die.
At this moment, the shadowy creature spoke: "You don't have to worry. I heard that in order to fight against disasters, future generations created four natural disasters, each of which can wipe out civilization."
"These four natural disasters are still alive in the world. If we unite multiple races and capture a few natural disaster anomalies, won't we have the sacrifices?"
If the ancient races want to avoid the disaster of the era, they must hide in a small world when they only know a small amount of information.
Once you know more information, you will be attracted to the dark world and will no longer be able to avoid the disasters of the era.
So these races don’t even know what this terrifying existence called “ghosts” is…
As for the civilizations they encountered, most of them were just small fish and shrimps, and the information they could obtain was very limited.
Yuan Tie nodded slightly: "There is still a big problem. Even if we catch enough sacrifices, we have to integrate them together."
"Now we are scattered all over the world, and we have to find the puppet civilization. How can we meet each other and preside over the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heaven?"
Pangu Continent continued to absorb the surrounding small worlds, and its area was many times larger than that of the First Era. Even if it was a powerful innate myth, it would take hundreds or thousands of years to fly from one end to the other!
What's more, now it is based on civilization. If you want to teleport a civilization, you must have targeted mythical items to do it.
"It's not difficult for us to meet each other..." said the shadow-like creature, "I am from the Soul-killing Clan, and we are good at traveling through space. We also have the mythical item [Infinite Flying Shuttle]. It shouldn't be a big problem to take a few people to a certain place."
"The greatest difficulty is to find a civilization with great fortune."
"We are proficient in the art of divination, so is it possible that we can't find it?"
"It's difficult. The world is hostile to us. It's not easy to find it... unless..."
"Unless what?"
"In the days ahead, there will be less blood sacrifices, more cultivation of civilization, and less hostility from the world."
This is too annoying. In their eyes, the weak are food. There is a pile of food in front of them, but they can't eat it. How long can they endure this? Even if they are all smart people and are willing to swallow their anger for the sake of long-term interests, there must be a time limit.
"I have an idea..." said the black shadow, "I can't predict the fortune of a person with great luck, but I should be able to predict a few Feng Shui sites."
"We will open trading markets in those Feng Shui treasured places. With the strength of our race, we will naturally be able to gather a large number of weak civilizations."
"Then we will support some puppets that are easy to control and find out what the highest combat power in this world is like."
"As long as there are enough civilizations, we can start our plan even without anyone with great luck..."
That's indeed a good idea.
After a brief discussion, these ancient races quickly began the divination ceremony.
They began to occupy so-called "feng shui treasures" one by one, disguised as high-level relics, and waited for the fish to take the bait...
…
…
As time passed, the situation in Pangu Continent changed.
Adventures, wars, trade... Some people advance through hardships, leaving behind a series of footprints on the muddy road; others face disasters when they come into the world, but in an adventure, they smile and walk towards eternity.
Many stories happened, and many stories ended...
But overall, the civilization of Pangaea is developing rapidly...
For Lu Yuan, everything went according to plan.
The transformation of the Qiankun world is a slow process, and it is useless no matter how anxious you are.
Lu Yuan's life returned to its original comfort. He would fight with Little Mirage Dragon, walk the dog, and educate the next generation.
Whenever he sees those bright smiling faces, he always has a wonderful illusion that "struggle is worth it" - perhaps this is the so-called mentality of the elders, and he is becoming more and more like an old man.
On the other hand, several engineering projects in Green City are still progressing at a very fast pace.
Amidst excited discussions, the "Bloodline Laboratory" was officially established.
"Comrades, although the traditional life sciences can explain a lot, it is difficult to explain the emergence of the soul and various idealistic phenomena."
"The purpose of establishing the Bloodline Laboratory is to study the true origin of life. What was the beginning of the First Era like? How did the innate myths come about? What exactly is bloodline? The answers to these questions will be our key research directions in the future."
Lu Yuan is looking forward to the help this laboratory can bring to him.
Adding blood to the world of Qiankun is too expensive. More than 400 corpses of [Spirit] only added the blood of the turtle! Even if his luck is against the sky, it is difficult to replicate such a miracle.
Therefore, we still have to rely on human technology and use low-cost methods to study "bloodline".
The scientists in Green City were also looking forward to it. The always stingy Commander Lu actually funded it personally! The eyes of these guys were like those of wolves, green and lusty, and they wanted to bite off a piece of meat from Lu Yuan.
"Now we would like to invite Professor Lu Tiantian to come to the stage and speak."
Lu Tiantian cleared his throat and picked up the microphone: "First of all, we need to clarify what bloodline is?"
"If we use a narrow definition, bloodline refers to bloodline, and our biological children are the bloodline inheritance, which is easy to understand."
"But in the idealistic world, there is a broader definition, that is race. A large race has the same blood flowing in its veins. Please note that this is closely related to the idealistic rule of blood sacrifice that was once very popular."
"The effectiveness of blood sacrifice is positively correlated with the attributes of the deity and race. Generally speaking, human sacrifices have the best effect, beasts have average effect, fish are second, and insects have the worst effect."
When Lu Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
The rules of blood sacrifice were indeed extremely popular in ancient times.
But after the Fifth Era, this rule was obscured by successive peak civilizations.
A scientist raised his hand and said, "Professor Lu Tiantian, can we also perform blood sacrifice now?"
"Of course you can, but the effect is not as good as before. For example, the blood sacrifice forging method is still popular in some civilizations, and there is also the blood sacrifice planting method... but in the face of complete idealistic technology, the cost-effectiveness is slightly lower."
Professor Lu Tiantian, with his gray hair, is still working on the front line of scientific research.
As a national treasure-level scientist in Green City, Lu Yuan was worried that this guy would die while conducting high-risk experiments, so he privately gave him a "Shield of Life" and extended his life.
"Why is human blood sacrifice the most effective?" someone else asked.
Lu Tiantian said: "It's a bit complicated to explain. Humans are a large race. We are a type of Homo sapiens. There is also the Neanderthals. The former Green Civilization was the Homo erectus race. The dwarves we met in the North were the Zenith race."
"Although there is reproductive isolation between these ethnic groups, it is not insurmountable."
"Occasionally, offspring can still be born, and these offspring may form new species."
"In theory, as a large tribe in Pangu Continent, we humans must have powerful ancestors. Only powerful intelligent species can pass on their bloodline. Based on current observations, the number of humans accounts for one-tenth of Pangu Continent, which is definitely not a small number."
The human race has no racial specialties, but excels in comprehensiveness. The soul can accommodate 7-9 extraordinary abilities, which is a very excellent number.
The fingers are flexible and have no shortcomings.
The average intelligence is above 100, and these advantages combined actually make it an above-average race.
Lu Tiantian continued: "After studying our ancient myths, we believe that human ancestors had a glorious past."
"For example, the leader of the Third Age, Emperor Huang Tian, may be one of the ancestors of mankind. Emperor Huang Tian is a congenital myth born in the First Age and created a glorious history in the Third Age. His name is recorded in the documents."
"In addition, in mythological archaeology, we have also discovered several innate myths similar to those of human races. For example, Yanhuang, Xuanyuan, etc."
"Otherwise it is difficult to explain why humans became such a large race."
Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Sacrificing human blood was equivalent to depriving the past of history.
The more glorious the history of a race, the better the effect of its sacrifices will naturally be.
This is indeed a very novel idea.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but become interested: "How did you find out? The Emperor Huangtian didn't leave any self-portraits."
"They didn't find the tomb of Emperor Huangtian and got his DNA, did they? Besides, there is only one Emperor Huangtian, it's impossible for him to come to Earth and reproduce... We humans on Earth are a legitimate civilization."
He almost forgot that he was the only Earthling among those present.
"Ahem, Commander Lu, bloodline is a very complicated thing. It involves both the materialistic and idealistic aspects." Lu Tiantian smiled. "The materialistic aspect is the conventional DNA, genes, etc., while the idealistic aspect involves the concept of human beings."
"We studied the genetic material of the Snow Continent, Earth humans, Green People, and some other human races, and found that there are still some differences in the genes of both sides."
"But we all look very similar, and that's because we all fit the concept of human beings."
"Most of the human race is not actually a second-generation civilization, but some kind of ape creature on the native planet."
"Under the interference of some idealistic rules, these apes underwent convergent evolution and gradually evolved into humans."
Lu Tiantian displayed photos one after another on the screen: "This kind of idealistic interference phenomenon is common."
"To give a simple example, at the beginning of the era, some extraordinary lives turned into anomalies. This was the result of bloodline interference. In the same way, some apes had human concepts due to idealistic interference, and became more and more like humans during the evolution of generations."
"The human race is so powerful because many of the innate myths are from the human race."
"We have classified this convergence phenomenon into the bloodline rules. This is why the peak civilization at the time did not destroy the rules related to blood sacrifice."
"Because once it is destroyed, the bloodline rules will be damaged. This is almost the underlying operating rule of Pangu Continent and should not be easily changed."
