Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

"I am the answer?"

Li Yao muttered to himself, "Do you not know who you are, where you come from, why are you born?"

"Yes, in the myths and legends of later generations, it is called the 'Emperor', leaving behind countless strange, absurd legendary men, but a passer-by in the stars of the sea, a lifetime to find the answer. People, it is a pity that until the end of his life, he does not know the meaning of his own and even the entire human civilization, and that we... may have delayed the mission of hundreds of millions of years."

The voice of the grave guard is full of desolation, ancient sorrow and helpless taste.

Along with the rippling and surging of information flow, the illusion of looming surroundings has become clear.

It was like a time back in the hundreds of thousands of years, when the Pangu civilization just discovered the ancient ruins, and when it established a large-scale laboratory.

"The emperor... my memory begins with a small embryo."

The voice of the grave guard is getting lower and lower, like a proverb in a dream, it enters the role of the emperor, or simply plays the emperor’s last words, "I am like a floating in the pristine ocean. The archaea, which flows in the hot and nutritious seawater, has experienced a path from bacteria to carbon-based intelligent life for billions of years in just a few days or tens of days or hundreds of days. Then I realized When I arrived, I was not drifting in the ocean, but living in a artificially simulated nutrient solution.

"That is really a very strange feeling.

"If I am really a bacterium, or just a cell, even if it is a carbon-based intelligent life embryo, I should not produce self-awareness and sophisticated thinking ability, can 'consciously' into my living environment, and even release Find something like 'God' and 'Thinking' to perceive and explore the world around you.

"But I have the ability to clearly perceive myself from a small, wielding flagellate and tentacles, slowly evolving into a multi-celled organism and even a life-thirsty embryo, even scanning for nutrition. The tempered glass wall outside the liquid, as well as the vast and complex laboratory outside the chamber.

“That is a cutting-edge laboratory that is bigger and more advanced than the laboratory you saw. It seems that there are thousands of similar culture chambers that are simultaneously cultivating a batch of embryos or similar things, and many more. Embryos that have matured but are not very successful have also been used for waste. They have been sliced ​​in the operating tables and crystal brains of Pangu and Nuwa, and virtual experiments have been carried out. Various strange and whimsical experiments have continued, day and night. Absolutely."

As the grave-keepers continue to play the words of the Emperor, the environment around them has also changed. There have been countless scenes of Pangu and Nuwa who wore sealed sterile clothes and buried their experiments.

The experimental instruments on the operating table and the crystal light curtain have various strange-shaped beasts, but most of them can still recognize the human appearance.

"At the time, I didn't understand everything that the wilderness race did. I only knew that they had trained thousands of embryos similar to me, and stimulated the embryos in various ways, trying to activate the mysterious power hidden in the depths of the embryo. But most of the experiments have failed."

The emperor continued to use a low and sad voice. "A part of the embryo can't activate any power, and it will stop abruptly in the process of evolution. It will become a kind of carbon-based life without the slightest wisdom. The beasts of blood and blood can not bear too much. Strong stimulation, direct bursting and destruction, completely melted in the nutrient solution; while most of the embryos have grown into fetuses and turned from fetuses to babies, but after falling into the ground, they have not shown any supernatural sacredness, except for reproductive ability. In addition to being more adaptable to the environment, there is no limit to the strength of the chickens. It is far worse than the advanced and powerful wilderness races of Pangu, Nuwa, Gonggong and Zhurong.

"The researchers of the Pangu and Nüwa seem to be very dissatisfied with the results of the experiment. I can feel their anxiety and anger and even despair.

"At the time, I was just a small embryo. It was not much more complicated than bacteria. The wild race is in my cognition. It is more than a god. It is a kind of higher-dimensional life. There is something that can make They all feel 'anxious' and 'desperate', I really can't imagine what it will be.

“In short, the researchers of the ruined civilization conducted experiments on countless embryos, and imported the data of the failed experiments into the next batch of experimental embryos, replacing the experimental environment and the parameters of the stimulus, and then suffering the next failure, however In the failure of each batch of embryos, 1% of the embryos survived, not ruined by strong stimuli, nor embarked on the wrong path of evolution, matured with a weaker posture, they just maintained The state of the embryo, absorbed silently, continues to crouch.

"I am one of the luckiest embryos, from cell to embryo to fetus, I have used it for three full years."

In front of Li Yao, there is a culture warehouse like a crystal tower.

At first, in addition to the pale green nutrient solution, the cultivation warehouse seemed to be empty and nothing existed.

Only when the mind is released to the limit, Li Yao can scan a nutrient-like thing into a cell-like thing.

The reason why it is said to be "similar to cells" is because the structure of ordinary cells should be very simple, but the interior of this cell is mysterious and complicated to the limit, just like... the whole universe.

As time went by, the researchers around the crystal tower changed batch after batch.

From the beginning, the tall ancient, the brain is deformed by the Pangu; to the human body, the tail has a "gene sac", the female scorpion can be dismantled and combined at will; and then the plant life is praised by the father and the swarm. After the life of the Yi people, as well as Zhu Rong and Gong Gong, and so on, each of the wild carbon-based intelligent life uses their unique secret method to modulate the embryo, injecting a lot of nutrients, gene fragments, psionic ripples and information into the embryo. flow.

Under such stimulation and "feeding", the embryo slowly expands, from the original bacteria to a pale gold meat ball with a diameter of more than twenty or thirty centimeters, like the crystal after shrinking the star hundreds of thousands of times. Slowly rotating, one drum and one suction, releasing the mysterious and gorgeous and magnificent light, indeed, as the emperor said, for three years, all crouching and swallowing, one second ahead, not willing to break the shell.

“I seem to be the oldest experimental body in the whole laboratory in the embryonic state.”

Emperor said, "After standing out from countless embryos, it naturally attracted the attention of most of the researchers. The resources of the entire laboratory were concentrated on me, and I was subjected to a stronger stimulus than once, and I Indeed, under such stimuli, I saw a lot of pictures, awakened a lot of knowledge, and many of them belonged to this era, the wisdom of this universe.

"It seems that this is not my first life, but my 'reincarnation'. Before this time I was trained in the laboratory, I lived once or even countless times, once in the Pangu universe. Fighting in the vast expanse of the Xinghai, struggling, resisting, defeating, desperate, and fleeing!

"My deep knowledge of the sea, flashing countless pictures, even the simplest picture, can not be described with pen and ink.

"I saw the old self, or a human being similar to myself. There is a pale gold flow pattern around me. I have the ability to call for the wind and rain and to control all things. We are pedaling to the incredible battleship, waving lightning and thunder, and swimming around. Between the Xinghai and the multiverse, we conquer those intelligent lives that are different from ours, deprive them of their wisdom, engulf their civilization, integrate the essence of their civilization into our civilization, and even transform everything in their civilization into The form of information flow is engraved in our gene pool.

"Whether it is the glorious center of the Xinghai, the giants on the ultra-low-density planets such as mountains, or the ocean stars, the crystal clear, weak and boneless ocean people, or too close to the stars, almost no atmosphere, the hot climate of the planet The solar worms that were born... all kinds of intelligent life that seem to be horrible, even in the nightmare, are conquered by us and become a small and clear brand in the human gene pool.

"Everyone, every cell in every human body is a 'museum of civilization'. Everything in the chain of genes stores at least hundreds of carbon-based intelligent life, all solidified. Civilization, this is our spoils.

"We symbolize the dragon, and can even completely unlock our ability to turn ourselves into a real dragon. The so-called "dragon" is a super life that has engulfed hundreds of millions of creatures and created the genetic essence of hundreds of millions of creatures.

"but……

"Even if the super life is as strong as a dragon or a demon, in the face of the mysterious and vast universe, it will touch the limit that cannot be exceeded.

"Our civilization has fallen to the bottom almost instantly after climbing to the peak. The golden years of invincibility have been smashed at once. We are the masters of the multiverse, and we are arrogant and victorious. The glory and glory of all have become untold humiliation and fear.

"Who is our enemy? How can we become this way? If this is what I experienced in my previous life, then how did I come to the ‘live’ from ‘previous life’?

"I really want to know the answers to these questions. I really want to continue to explore that side-by-side picture and the endless past.

"But the researchers in the lab are not willing to let me continue to accept too much stimuli. I can faintly feel that they are... afraid of me, human awakening."
