Chapter 657 Thirty Years of Transformation
According to distant mythological records, Pangu lived on the barren land for who knows how many years. At that time, there were no animals or plants in the world, only mountains, seas, lakes and rivers. In the end, he died alone.
However, after his death, his body and soul turned into a large number of ordinary lives.
Then, the innate mythology and the concept of bloodline emerged.
“It’s so lonely…”
Lu Yuan didn't know whether the statement passed down from ancient times was accurate. When he saw this ancient document, he suddenly felt a mysterious sense of loneliness: I may have to follow Pangu's example to get on the right path.
He hurried back to the Qiankun world and transferred his soul to the Tree of Life.
Suddenly, an unspeakable feeling of "the world is in my hands" emerged in my mind.
The sound of wind, rain, waves, rolling magma, the sound of the Yangtze River, countless pieces of information appeared in his mind, and the lines of all things appeared before his eyes.
As the first living thing in the world, the Tree of Life is very powerful. It can easily call the wind and rain, guide volcanoes, and cause earthquakes.
But at this moment, Lu Yuan was just quietly feeling the mountains and rivers that belonged to him. Most of the flowers, plants and trees that he had moved in were slowly withering. Only three king insects and a large group of turtles were living a relatively comfortable life.
These king insects seemed to be asleep, but they were actually in a deep state of meditation - however, this atavism phenomenon was obviously extremely slow, and it would be difficult to have any substantial qualitative change without decades of time.
"The life forms that exist in the Qiankun world now are actually all nurtured by Pangu Continent. Although it is a mature system, it is still an outsider after all..."
"As the first life, I should take on Pangu's responsibility and create everything that suits this world."
"I must pay attention to the balance of the ecosystem. I cannot just focus on creating powerful species. Weak life is the origin of everything... As long as they can survive and reproduce on this land for a long time, they will naturally evolve into stronger creatures. This is the philosophy of all things."
Thinking of this, the Tree of Life stretched out a vine and swallowed up the weeds that were slowly withering on the ground.
He actually didn't know how to do it. If he used the art of forging to measure the creation of life, it was a great art that surpassed all craftsmen and could not be described in words! Even the little Bixi that he had created, which had come back to life from the dead, was just a borrowing of the life that had existed before, and it was not a true creation of life.
But now, Lu Yuan faces a more difficult problem—he really wants to create life.
"What should I do? It's almost impossible to do it through materialistic methods."
"By the way, the Tree of Life itself can produce the Fruit of Life... What will happen if I reshape this weed with the Fruit of Life?"
This is an expensive experiment, one fruit of life is worth 1 spiritual charm.
But Lu Yuan had no choice.
He began to give birth to the fruit of life, and a weak little grass slowly took shape. Its name was "託", with a stalk height of 50 to 150 cm, smooth and hairless, and it was one of the most common weeds.
It took Lu Yuan a month to watch it grow little by little from the Fruit of Life.
At the same time, the whole world seemed to have undergone a subtle change, and the wild hurricane became a little milder.
The wild grass from Pangu Continent that covered the mountains and fields seemed to be nourished by something and gradually turned from a withered state to green.
This was a mysterious experience that made Lu Yuan forget all his worries. He was originally a little impatient, but now he watched quietly and waited patiently.
What's more, this process of creating life can just make up for his "method of creation from the beginning of the world".
The birth of a new life from the gestational state is also a new creation of the world. "My original creation of the world was too intense, with volcanic eruptions and the world exploding. That was the fierce side."
"Nowadays, the creation of life has a kind of artistic beauty..."
But this is not enough, there is still a little bit missing.
Lu Yuan thought about it for a long time before he understood what this last point was, that is - the vitality of the "Tree of Life".
It’s not spiritual charm, nor civilization points, but vitality.
"As long as I give it a little bit of my vitality, the bloodline of this weed will be created."
“No wonder Pangu died of overdrawn vitality when he created all things in the First Era… Maybe he was just too lonely… He would rather sacrifice himself than watch life appear bit by bit. That feeling is truly a masterpiece of the highest level of craftsmanship.”
"But I don't have to completely exhaust my own vitality like Pangu did..."
After all, this tree of life is just a clone. It is connected to the world of Qiankun. Even if it dies completely, it will not affect the original body of the Greedy Demon.
On the other hand, the mature species bred by Pangaea are still useful after all.
As long as Lu Yuan builds a good foundation and creates the concept of "grass", he can create countless types of weeds.
Just create a proper amount of producers, consumers, and decomposers, and when the ecosystem is complete, the rest can be directly introduced.
Therefore, the vitality consumed is quite limited...
Just like that, Lu Yuan began his endless creation.
When the morning light appeared, he climbed to the highest peak in the world, and little by little, green grass also climbed up to the plateau covered with loess.
At noon, he made a fishing rod and fished at the edge of the lake. Even though there was not a single fish in the world, colorful flowers slowly appeared around him.
As night fell, he appeared at the edge of the desert and saw a sky full of stars coming from the Sea of Chaos and drought-resistant plants rising from the ground.
"These producers are enough for now."
Then he introduced two types of animals, insects and turtles, from the Pangaea continent.
None of them are powerful species. [Insects] even include ordinary caterpillars, spiders, earthworms, ants, etc.
[Turtle] Naturally, it refers to various types of turtles, from land turtles, aquatic turtles, semi-aquatic turtles, to sea turtles. They can eat plants and insects, and will not starve to death.
Then it is a process of slowly filling the ecosystem...
Fish, birds, beasts and animals...
Time passed quickly, the Milky Way poured down, Lu Yuan stood on the highest peak in the world, looking at the traces of creation left on the vines: the flowers were stained with the fluorescence of raindrops, the leaves retained the fragrance of the breeze, and there were half-sprouted carvings embedded in the cracks of the stones.
This seems to be... the most original river of history.
All history is human history. As the first generation of life, he naturally left a strong mark in this world.
The long river of time truly starts at this moment.
Lu Yuan suddenly had an inspiration and threw these fragments in all directions, thus creating poetry, music and unsolved mysteries in the world.
A smile appeared on his face: "If I die in the future, I can leave the legend of 'Lu Yuan' in the world of Qiankun."
But... I can't go on any further.
Because reason is sending a reminder: the vitality of the Tree of Life has been mostly squandered, and continuing to create will lead to premature aging and death.
But on an emotional level, Lu Yuan felt genuinely lonely, and he had a strong urge to create more races to accompany him.
But this kind of creation will obviously overdraw everything! It took a long, long time for Lu Yuan to recover from that lonely state. He still has family, partners, colleagues, and friends. There is no need to continue to create here.
"Huh... No wonder Pangu would rather die than create more races."
“If there is only one intelligent life in the world, it is easy to choose between dying alone and dying in a lively atmosphere.”
"However, since I benefited from Pangu Continent, there is no need for me to create it again."
"It's time to wake up."
The soul returned to the human body, opened his eyes, looked down at the continent again, and found that the world was once again different from before.
The gauze-like mist slowly rose from the ocean, swirling in the breeze, like a fairy's skirt brushing across the water. The sea water became clear, reflecting the blue of the sky and the white of the clouds. Occasionally, a fish swam by, its scales gleaming with golden red light, and its tail wagging, splashing a lot of water.
There is a mangrove forest growing by the sea, and the flowers are in full bloom. Some of the thick petals are blown away by the wind, some float on the water, and some fall on the moss-covered reefs, like unopened letters, waiting for the right person to pick them up. Birds are jumping among the branches, chirping a few times, and then flapping their wings to fly to the mountains in the distance.
"It's actually 39 points of God attribute!" Lu Yuan lowered his head and checked the state of his soul. "It's only one step away from the real limit, 40 points of God."
The most important thing is that he is not yet in a state of spiritual fulfillment.
Generally speaking, after the soul is full, there is still a small space for improvement! In this way, he can really challenge the 40-point God attribute! Then, something even more magical happened. The tree of life that paid half of its vitality swayed gently, and its developed root system had already spread to every corner of the world.
I saw that the fruit hanging on the branch slowly changed. It became transparent like crystal, and liquid golden light flowed in the fruit.
"This is...Xuanhuang Qi?!" Lu Yuan was shocked and his heart started beating wildly!
The evolution and development of the world will give birth to the highest quality idealistic energy.
Now, with this fact before his eyes, his heart was filled with joy.
"Originally, these naturally generated Xuanhuang Qi were scattered in various places in the Qiankun World, but now, they are collected by the Tree of Life. Well... I will collect them first and think of a use for them later."
Looking again, all the innate spiritual treasures scattered around the world have grown larger.
Even the innate plants grew rapidly, especially the "Jianmu", which had grown to a height of 1,800 meters in just a few decades, just like a pillar of heaven! "How did you grow so fast?"
Lu Yuan patted the rough bark. The trunk of the Jianmu tree seemed to be cast in bronze, with dragon-scale-like patterns covering its surface, and its branches and leaves were like layers of jade-colored clouds.
"Jianmu" has innate spatial abilities and can form a world of its own, so its materials also have a small amount of spatial properties.
Lu Yuan planned to get some wood and leaves for human research without harming its growth rate.
"Or maybe just sell it in the Temple of Greed?"
"King!" Three king insects flew over, respectful.
Over the years, they have witnessed the evolution of the world and sincerely respect Lu Yuan, the Creator.
"Hello, have you gained anything in these years?"
"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission and have reached the extraordinary level of level 20, breaking through the bloodline shackles of my race." Even the most calm King Insect, Lu Da, showed joy at this moment, "It is expected that there will be room for improvement in the future!"
The other two king insects, Lu Er and Lu Xiao, were even more eager to go out and cause trouble for the little mirage dragon.
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "I let you come here to practice because it is a great opportunity, not for you to show off. Qiankun World is my top secret, and your combat power must also be kept secret. Don't cause trouble, and only take action at critical moments."
"Of course you want to fight the little mirage dragon, that's no problem, I'll bring it in after a while."
The three king insects were immediately overjoyed.
Lu Da looked around and made another suggestion: "King, now the food problem has been solved. It's time to introduce more Zerg. We found a place with a harsh environment and let the Zerg survive in this harsh place. Through competition and evolution on their own, more populations will be born."
That harsh place was a large rift valley with poisonous gas spreading and a large amount of volcanic magma underneath.
The geographical environment is similar to the former Zerg Rift Valley.
Although it is not as wealthy as the Zerg Great Rift, it is still a world of heaven and earth, and there is always some wild atmosphere. It is impossible for the Tree of Life to collect all the Xuanhuang Qi in the world, and the little bit that remains is also a great fortune!
Lu Da became more and more excited as he spoke: "The evolution of the Zerg army is highly random, and sometimes they can even evolve into spatial abilities! If there are trillions of Zerg, then that one trillionth of Void Amoeba can be born, and by then our strength will undergo a qualitative change."
Lu Yuan couldn't help but ask: "Is there a void amoeba in the Zerg rift?"
"Reporting to the king, it does not exist. It is just that my blood gene tells me this information. In the past few eras, the void amoeba has appeared."
"It takes trillions of Zerg to evolve one, isn't it too difficult?" Lu Yuan grinned. He had no prejudice against those ferocious bugs, but he didn't want the whole world to be full of Zerg, right? Lu Da replied, "King, if you are worried that the Zerg will grow stronger and affect other species... you can allocate a Jianmu tree to allow the Zerg to enter the small world and survive for a long time. The Zerg can also produce a lot of special products. The Void Amoeba can produce space-type materials, and there are some precious mutant Zerg, such as the Black Armor Beetle, which can produce epic materials such as the "Black Armor Relics."
"There are also legendary materials, such as poisonous saliva crystal, silkworm silk, blood honey glue, etc."
"What about the Immortal Class?"
"Immortal level... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. There is no corresponding knowledge in my blood genes. Only the sacred horn of Lord Ancient Insect can reach the immortal level." The King Insect has a characteristic of telling the truth, so Lu Yuan doesn't need to worry about them lying.
He nodded. "That's fine. There's no rush anyway. You guys come with me. The number of Zerg hordes outside shouldn't change drastically. Just bring in some key Zergs."
"yes!"
Although Lu Yuan focused his work on the Qiankun World, he would occasionally show up in Green City to hold meetings, educate children, interact with craftsmen, etc. He even found time to use the Earth Escape and Flying Shuttle to meet with the ancient insect, and got a large amount of Zerg blood amid the ancient insect's wailing.
But compared with his own gains, he always felt that Green City had changed a little less.
He brought three king insects to the small cave, selected more than five hundred insects, and brought them into the Qiankun world.
He also brought several old friends, including the old wolf, chicken snake, mother bear, king snake, scorpion, etc., into the Turtle Temple.
Although these old guys didn't have much intelligence, they were all very excited when they saw the primitive jungle-like scene.
Especially the mother bear, when she saw the thick corn tree, her eyes were filled with tears and she was about to cry... Perhaps she remembered her days in the ruins of the Meda civilization and her former children.
Or maybe it's just plain greed.
"You stay here and try to return to your ancestral bloodline... Whether you have the opportunity depends on your luck." Lu Yuan sighed lightly.
The territory of the Turtle Temple is very large, and with the Queen Insect taking care of it, the problem will not be too big.
Then he brought the giant crystal turtle that had been wandering in the north into the Qiankun world.
Business in the North has reached its end, and the number of customers at the Temple of Greed is decreasing. It would be better to let the giant crystal turtle settle in the New World for a while.
"Waqua!" This big stupid turtle actually discovered the wonders of the new world. It flapped its four long legs and swam towards the depths of the ocean.
Finally, Lu Yuan invited Little Mirage Dragon and Old Cat.
"The new world has finally been transformed, even faster than expected." Old Cat exclaimed.
Thirty years ago, it was still a wasteland. Thirty years later, the whole world is covered with lush primeval forests, and all kinds of common animals are basically available.
"It took a lot of effort to travel all over the country to fleece the Pangu Continent." Lu Yuan stretched lazily.
The little mirage dragon was confused. What was this place? Where were the humans? Where did I come from and where was I going? "Listen carefully, this is my world. As for the humans, you only need to show up once in a while." Lu Yuan said to it unceremoniously, "You don't even need to show up at all!"
"Roar!" The little mirage dragon couldn't help but roar. I am the guardian of civilization. If I don't protect Green City, do you have to do it?
"Haha, look at how long it has been since you grew up. King Bug, go ahead!"
"You are not allowed to use super powers, just rely on physical combat."
Three king insects flew in front, eager to try.
The little mirage dragon couldn't help but feel contempt in his heart. He was just a defeated opponent. In terms of racial value, isn't the [Spirit] much higher than the [Insect]?
"roar!"
But soon, the King Insect showed amazing fighting power! Especially the King Insect Lu Da, who was 22 meters tall and as strong as a cannonball. Every punch was as powerful as a thousand pounds, stirring up a violent storm, and his might was amazing!
