Chapter 656: The person being arrested was actually me!
Just like that, Lu Yuan finally started his plan to transform the world! "Let's experience the feeling of being a God."
What he wanted to introduce most was actually "producers", that is, various types of plants.
Without producers, the world would be a wasteland.
It is of no use relying solely on those innate plants. These guys grow too slowly. After so many years, there are only a few sparse leaves, and some are even still in the seedling stage.
What's more, Lu Yuan is not so extravagant as to use innate plants as food.
But no matter how he introduced foreign plants, such as wheat, corn, rice, or even weeds and mutant plants, the probability of their survival was extremely low.
Even if they survive by chance, they will not be able to reproduce.
At first he thought that the number of plants introduced was not enough, but later, the [Greedy Demon] sneaked into a forest and moved in all the plants from a mountain.
All the life on the mountain, including mushrooms, fungi, and ants, slowly died out, and the speed of reproduction was unbearable! Only the turtles survived, jumping around in the sun by the river, and even laying eggs.
Only then did he realize that the idealistic world and the purely materialistic world were indeed different.
In the idealistic world, the concept of "bloodline" is too important. Idealistic rules will conflict with each other, and only by establishing "bloodline" first can the offspring reproduce under the protection of the rules. Otherwise, it will be extremely difficult.
As for the method of creating "bloodline", it is not difficult. The first is to constantly move living creatures. The more powerful the creature, the more innate bloodline it carries.
Like the more than 400 corpses of [spirits] that were moved in the past, they brought the turtle bloodline.
All turtles can reproduce and thrive in the Qiankun world.
However, Lu Yuan was not sure whether constantly transporting ordinary lives could bring about bloodline.
Because ordinary life forms were too weak and their bloodline power was meager, he could not estimate how many mountains of plants he would have to move in order to introduce the "bloodlines" of various life forms. Perhaps it would take ten thousand mountains, or one hundred thousand mountains, or even a million mountains.
Of course, there is also a second method - creating an innate myth! As long as the Xuanhuang Qi is used, the concept of "bloodline" can be directly created, so this is a more advanced energy than "luck", and even a qualitative change of energy!
"It's not that I'm reluctant to use the Xuan Huang Qi, but the Xuan Huang Crystal is still in its development stage."
"Even if I plunder the foundation of the future, I can only create one or two innate myths, which is really a drop in the bucket..."
He deeply felt that he was still too poor.
In addition, the Greedy Demon himself is already at the "mythical" level, so he cannot absorb or utilize more "Xuanhuang Qi".
Unless he can go one step further and transcend the myth, he can directly utilize higher-level energy.
But does that realm really exist?
No one in the entire Pangaea has ever achieved this feat.
So, when the Creator encountered the first challenge of creating plants, he was immediately stumped.
"The 'bloodline' of Qiankun Continent is scarce, but what can I do? Do I really have to move the forests one by one? But even if I move a forest every ten days, there will be less than 40,000 hills in a thousand years... Is this number really enough?"
"Forget it, let's just leave it at that. It's better than having no solution at all."
Therefore, the [Greedy Demon] would find a way to sneak out every few days and move the forest. There were more and more barren mountains around, just like a layer of land gnawed by a dog.
The world of Qiankun is filled with green plants...
However, only a few were able to reproduce. Lu Yuan often sighed as he looked at the dead and silent mountains and wilderness. He believed that transforming the world was too difficult, and his power alone was too weak.
Fortunately, as Lu Yuan is developing, human civilization is also developing synchronously, and occasional interdisciplinary studies will provide a certain degree of assistance.
On this day, a human diplomatic team returned from an external investigation, and everyone excitedly discussed what they had seen and heard.
"The new third-level civilization is a quasi-interstellar civilization, and its strength is comparable to that of the former Lanpeng civilization..."
"In particular, the research on blood technology is very in-depth. They have successfully restored the blood of mutant animals to their ancestral state, giving rise to superpowers."
"But their overall strength seems to be inferior to ours, and their research on craftsman forging is far inferior to ours..."
"Could it be that our Green City is already a relatively powerful type among the third-level civilizations?"
"Hmm? Don't be proud. We are in the third level of civilization for a long time."
The team's general leader is named Bei Ming, a "plant affinity person" who was granted the ability of "animal affinity" by the Green Government because of his outstanding scientific research achievements.
This ability was naturally purchased from the [Temple of Greed], which cost 4 civilization points. Since then, Bei Ming has become a rare dual-god skill user.
And he changed his career from then on, becoming an "expert in mythology bloodline research"! Mythology bloodline is a relatively new topic in today's era.
The source of idealistic rules is the First Era, and the history of the First Era is very long. According to current historical inferences, the duration of the First Era is between hundreds of millions and billions of years, which is many times longer than the other eight eras combined! Yes, billions of years of history! Lu Yuan even thinks that the age of Pangu Continent should be the same as that of the Earth.
The bloodlines of animals and plants tend to go back to their original highest ancestor.
After the bloodline returns to ancient times, it will naturally provide more extraordinary outputs. The quality of blood products, hair, leather, fruits, stems and leaves will be improved.
However, this topic is indeed difficult. They have visited so many civilizations, but only a few have been able to achieve anything.
Only the third-level civilization we just visited seems to have made some achievements.
But it is also kept hidden, and will only be revealed if humans pay a large sum of money to buy it.
"Alas, if civilizations could get rid of their prejudices, Pangu Continent would have been very different from before." Bei Ming sat on the chair, took a sip of tea, and was not very satisfied with his gains.
The air in Green City is very fresh, and many roadside plants can be picked for free.
His favorite thing to do when he is tired is to pick a fresh "grape flower", soak it in water, take a sip, and taste the flavor of spring.
"By the way, have you heard of the anecdote that a mountain range 100,000 kilometers away was dug three feet deep?"
"Hmm? 100,000 kilometers away?"
"Many civilizations are jointly investigating the truth." A diplomat described it vividly. "Last night, a drone captured a huge black shadow eating plants. Because the black shadow's idealistic interference was very strong, the picture was not clear. The guy was like a madman, digging up all the trees with their roots and stuffing them into his mouth."
"According to the intensity of the idealistic radiation, it is at least at the level of an anomaly! It may even be one of the four great natural disasters, a [demon]!"
Bei Ming was immediately interested when he heard this: "Will the military organize people to capture the monster?"
"I just contacted Colonel Lu Ying, and he said he has sent a drone over... If it is really a [monster], we must be well prepared. The little mirage dragon may also take action. If it is a newborn [monster], it can easily capture it... How much is a [monster] worth? We might become rich overnight."
"But it's a bit troublesome that so many civilizations know about this... maybe a war will break out!"
Just then, a flying snake descended from the sky and landed on the square.
Lu Yuanyuan heard their conversation and thought to himself, "Humans are indeed powerful. When they encounter [monsters], they actually think of capturing them instead of running away."
Of course, this is also related to the decreasing strength of the [Monsters]. The third era when [Monsters] were created is too far away from now.
The idealistic mark became increasingly shallow, and coupled with the fact that the number of natural treasures decreased sharply, the [monster] could not eat any good things, and its strength indeed dropped significantly.
"Hey! Send me the photos!!" he greeted.
Then my eyes widened, and I was like, "Shit, I'm the one being arrested!" I didn't dare to say anything.
The professors seemed to have received a phone call and started discussing among themselves: "Don't even think about catching the anomaly. The latest intelligence is that the crazy guy seems to be a ghost!"
"Don't provoke it! Even the high-level ruins have issued a red alert, asking all civilizations to use concealing glyphs to block the city's popularity."
"Ah?!" Everyone was shocked and a little nervous.
"Why is it a [ghost]?"
"So many flowers, trees, soil, rocks, all disappeared. Even a demon can't have such a big appetite. Only a mad ghost could have destroyed all these substances!!"
People were in panic for a while.
Hearing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but touch his throat, feeling that he might lose his head at any time: "Have so many people known about this? We need to go to a farther place to dig the mountain."
Then, Professor Bei Ming patted his chest and said, "Fortunately, we are staying near the ruins of the fifth-level civilization. Even if the [ghost] comes, there is no risk."
“Yes...The Level 5 ruins are indeed too safe.”
Lu Yuan's expression immediately calmed down. Why did that sentence just now sound wrong? He murmured in his heart: "Oh no, we have been here for too long. Comfort and laziness have slowly seeped into everyone's thinking."
Yes, humans think they are only a level three civilization, but this relic is a level five civilization.
The difference of two levels is really a huge gap! But Lu Yuan is very wary of the fact that "human beings are gradually becoming lazy". His current combat power is not bad, and protecting humans is not a problem. Even if there is a [Ghost] level disaster, he has some confidence.
But once something goes wrong within Green City, no matter how strong its combat capability is, it will be meaningless.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel worried.
"Commander-in-Chief!" The scientists saw Lu Yuan standing there in a daze and greeted him.
"Hello, I'm here to deliver some plant samples. You guys can chat, I'm just listening..." Lu Yuan did not attack directly.
Even if he criticized these professors, it would be meaningless. Changing one's mindset cannot be achieved overnight.
He was holding several flower pots in his hands, filled with weeds that he had carefully selected and that could thrive in the Qiankun world.
This kind of reproduction is limited to these few weeds, and their offspring still cannot reproduce, thus eliminating the possibility of endless descendants.
But anyway, it is better than nothing, so he simply transplanted these weeds and let scientists study them.
Talking about this topic, Chief Scientist Bei Ming couldn't help but become curious: "Commander-in-Chief, the number of samples you have brought in these few months is actually quite good. At first we thought it was mediocre. But later, after research, we found that their bloodline indicators are indeed better than ordinary samples. How did you identify them?"
Lu Yuan laughed: "Of course it's my extraordinary induction ability as a great spiritualist. You don't think that I have so many divine skills for nothing, do you? How is your research progressing?"
Bei Ming spread his hands helplessly: "Great Commander, bloodline is already the underlying mechanism of the rules. With our current research capabilities, I'm afraid we won't be able to study it clearly."
"It would take at least a Level 5 civilization, or even a Level 6 civilization, to be possible."
Lu Yuan felt a little disappointed. Is it true that he could only cultivate his bloodline through the extremely precious "Xuanhuang Qi"?
"However, sometimes the inability to fully understand the truth does not affect development." Bei Ming added, "It's like Newton's laws of motion. We all know that they are not the ultimate truth, but they are still used normally."
He took Lu Yuan to visit the blood laboratory.
Professor Lu Tiantian was busy with some experiment. When he saw him, he waved through the glass window as a greeting.
This place is actually quite clean. There are about a hundred animals kept in cages, as well as petri dishes, incubators, some experimental farmlands, waterless culture boxes, and so on.
There is even the shell of an immortal giant turtle and some strange wriggling meat?
Lu Yuan looked at him with a grin on his face.
"This is our latest bloodline research result, a supernatural animal called 'Red Fox', cloned through cell culture technology."
"Clone?" Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows.
Bei Ming pointed to a small embryo in the artificial womb and explained: "The reproduction capacity of extraordinary animals is low. This problem has always troubled us. Why does this happen? What will happen if the whole world is full of extraordinary creatures?"
"Now that I think about it, it's still because of the constraints of idealism and bloodline. To give a simple analogy, humans have different IQs. The offspring of two smart parents often have normal IQs. Unintelligent parents may also win the genetic lottery and give birth to smart offspring."
“The proportion of smart people in a population is a constant. Human society needs red flowers, but it also needs more green leaves. If all the people are smart, our world will not necessarily become a better place.”
Lu Yuan was silent. What he said was not wrong...
"Extraordinary animals and plants are actually similar. Most of their offspring are mediocre."
"But unlike humans, their offspring will most likely not be born and will die directly in the fertilized egg state, so they look like they are infertile." Bei Ming made an exaggerated explosion gesture.
"W-why?"
"It may be because of the bloodline restriction. If extraordinary creatures can leave their bloodlines at will, there will be no living space for ordinary creatures in Pangu Continent."
Lu Yuan seemed to be thinking about something. When the old wolf was in the mutant stage, it had produced quite a lot of offspring.
But after evolving into extraordinary life, they can only enjoy themselves but cannot produce too many offspring.
"So, why can humans reproduce?"
"Humans are not actually extraordinary animals. At least humans who are just born are just ordinary creatures without superpowers. Most humans are cultivated later, and intelligent life is more favored by Pangu Continent."
"I see..." Lu Yuan nodded.
Bei Ming added: "The evolution of the world is sometimes really like a balance. It treats all creatures equally, whether they are extraordinary or ordinary."
"So we are now simply starting to do cloning to bypass the bloodline restriction. Cloning also has many problems. For example, the lifespan of cloned organisms is greatly shortened, and extraordinary characteristics may also decline, but these are mainly technical problems. As long as we have enough time, we are confident that we can overcome them."
Bei Ming took Lu Yuan to visit the botanical garden again: "We are also studying the cutting propagation of extraordinary plants... Cutting propagation is asexual reproduction and will not change the original bloodline, but there is a big problem, it often requires a lot of cultivation time and cultivation costs."
Like Crystal Wintervale, a famous extraordinary species in the North, it reproduces asexually.
However, its reproduction is extremely difficult and requires long-term cultivation by plant affinity, and a large split in the middle before it can be divided into two.
In other words, a small branch cannot reproduce. Only when the mother body is seriously injured can it reproduce asexually. This may also be the rule that Pangu Continent made in order to maintain ecological balance.
The more Lu Yuan looked at it, the sadder he felt: "You damn Pangu Continent follows a strict philosophy of all things. Now the ecology is balanced, but what should I do? I can't even introduce blood into it..."
"Wait!" Lu Yuan suddenly had a flash of light in his mind! "My thoughts seem to be wrong!"
"It was the bloodline of those [essences] that misled me. I always thought that myths came first, and then the concept of bloodline came into being."
"But there must have been life on Pangu Continent in the beginning, otherwise who would have absorbed the Xuanhuang Qi?"
"However, these lives are all ordinary creatures. How did they appear? Are they all innate creatures? Or, in other words, Pangu Continent actually also has the first life?"
Thinking of this, he became excited. He consulted a lot of information in the biological laboratory and also asked the aliens in the alien space.
It is really difficult to study the first life in the world.
Because the First Era was so, so long, spanning billions of years, civilization only emerged in the late First Era, which was equivalent to the Neolithic Age. There was no civilization at all, at most only a group of primitive people, and these primitive people would not leave any original records.
However, there are still a small number of documents that believe that the first innate creature was named "Pangu". No one knows what he looked like, how strong he was, or whether he was an animal or a plant.
