Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

“That's what you said...”

Li Yao thought about it, “I seem to recall that a number of archaeologists in the depths of some of the planets within the Empire did unearth an ancient human skull different from ours, the 'Ni people’, the competitors of the early intellectuals, bigger, stronger and more powerful than our immediate ancestors, like a grey mud tower. ”

“Yes, the survival advantage of the Nepalese is not just so simple as being tall and strong, but more importantly the brain and genes. ”

Zhuge Jinglun said, "The Lady tribe implanted a great deal of obvious technology and knowledge in the genetic genes of the Nepalese. As long as the brains of the Nepalese children mature and special hormones are secreted, they can naturally awaken these talents and learn how to cultivate, smelt and fight, and even refine warships and transform the planet.

“It can be said that the Ni were born qualified farmers, miners and warriors, just as the tigers were born the best hunters, and they were born to refine warships, just as the zebras were born to run and the cats were born to climb trees.

“This is exactly what the race of 'humans' was originally born for, a flesh puppet that can reproduce itself and continuously expand the community, and can serve their masters, the Pangu Alliance, in full automation and for long periods of time, isn't it? ”

“Sounds... powerful and good. ”

Li Yao crooked his head for a moment, “But you just said that the Neighbors are ‘the first generation of human beings with defects', where are the defects? ”

“They are neither creative nor extremely curious. ”

Zhuge Jinglan smiled slightly and said, "Look, the Ladies have engraved all their knowledge and technology into their genes, enough to help them deal with the vast majority of animals and plants at the time, with the exception of Pangu XIII, who were almost perfect and free of natural enemies.

“So they need neither curiosity nor creativity, they need to act on their instincts like other nasty beasts, but they never know the meaning of life.

“They may be able to build a battleship with their bare hands, to make a resource planet with harsh environments beautiful, but they never think about what it really means, as if hunting leopards down zebras, nor does he, or it, just... live.

“What exactly is creativity? Creativity is the ability to constantly make mistakes, make hundreds of mistakes, 1,000 mistakes, 10,000 of the most ridiculous mistakes, but one of them will always shine, sparkle, create unexpected and wonderful consequences, which is evolution, which is creativity!

“Without this capability, all their knowledge and skills are gifted, fated, their form has been perfected, they never think about change, there is no need to change at all, they have no curiosity, nothing worth their curiosity, if they are allowed to reproduce for thousands of years, a thousand generations, then there will be no change, evolution, creation, variation from the first generation to the last… there will not be any. ”

Li Yao gradually understood.

Fish and bear claws are incompatible, and the gift of direct inheritance through genetic genetics, as well as great curiosity and creativity, are probably two different evolutionary directions that are incompatible.

“The Pankos were quite satisfied with early products such as the 'Ni', but the Ladies frowned on their work. ”

Zhuge Jinglan continued, “Perhaps by then, a lot of celestial demons had drilled into the brains of the Lady Dynasty, running with the enthusiasm of celestial demons and the Lady Dynasty, adhering to the style of disorder, confusion, vitality and creation, how could I like the 'Ni people'?

“Thus, the Ladies told the remaining twelve Flooding races that the Neighbours were fatally flawed and not enough to serve as the most loyal servants of the Pangu Alliance, and that they needed a new generation, better functioning, more balanced in all its aspects and, crucially, more independent and creative human beings.

“Pangu people have no objection to this assertion, but after all, 'creation of human beings' is the work of the women's clan. Even the Pangu people, who are the leaders of the alliance, have to respect the opinions of the women's clan, reluctantly agreeing to let them create a second group of human beings to test and compare with the Nepalese.

“In this way, we have our immediate ancestors, the sages.

“Compared to the Nepalese, the shortcomings of the sages are evident. Our immediate ancestors are thin, prone to anger and fear. They are not as powerful as some gorillas. Without tools, they are even killed by tigers and lions. Most importantly, the females have removed all the geniuses in their genetics. Every saint was born on a blank sheet of paper, and it takes several years to pass on their skills through oral handouts. Once their lives have been lost, the skills that they have so easily accumulated will disappear, and the new sages will remain blank. ”

“In your words, our immediate ancestors seem useless! ”

Li Yao frowned.

“On the surface, yes. ”

Zhuge Jinglun smiled slightly, "So when the Ladies put such a whole new generation of ‘upgraded versions' in front of the Alliance, the remaining twelve floodplain races were silent and muted.

“Perhaps at that time, the thirteen famine carbon-based races had more or less some genius, ancestral memory, and genetic genetics were so active that their genius was so powerful that it suppressed curiosity and creativity - just as cancer cells eroded the living space of normal cells - that none of the famine carbon-based races, including the Pankos, could imagine how horrific a force could erupt that was completely devoid of genius, but inspired creativity and curiosity into the ultimate new form of life…

“It is precisely because we were born with a blank sheet of paper that we are filled with a never-ending curiosity and a desire to explore the wonderful new world around us; precisely because our skills are inherited through learning rather than innate, we constantly make mistakes, constantly think, constantly summarize and even question what was taught by our predecessors, question all authority, question all the unquestionable laws and precepts; precisely because we were so weak at first, our desire for ‘mighty’ far outweighed all other intelligent lives, and our ancestors, even at the beginning of their birth, understood the nature of 'man' more deeply than their creators!

“At that time, the entire Pangu Coalition knew nothing about our power, and it was only at the insistence of the Lady Chu that several planets were chosen as laboratories to serve as arenas for the Ni and the Wise. ”

Li Yao could hear God, and it was not until this moment that he took a long sigh of relief and muttered: “Ultimately, the wise man defeated the Ni people. ”

“Yes, but much more. ”

A strange smile gradually appeared on Zhuge Jinglain's face, “At the beginning of this special survival experiment, the Ni easily defeated almost all the wise men by virtue of their gift. At worst, the number of wise men fell to 5% during the peak period and had to hide in the rocks and deep in the jungle to shake Cesar.

“But the flourishing desire for exploration, for knowledge and for survival transformed the surviving sages at an alarming rate, allowing them to march on the path of evolution. Not only did they steal the Pharaoh of the Nepalese, they slowly learned the technology of the Nepalese, but they also improved it through the different environmental characteristics of different planets. Ultimately, the wise men of all planets defeated the Nepalese without exception, and… ate them all.

“The next thing, the Black Wind King should know that the wise man proved himself to be the best ‘tool’ with indisputable performance. Although the Pangu ethnic group was wary of the creativity and curiosity displayed by the wise man in the survival competition, the female ethnic group came up with the 'best way, the three fundamental laws’ as a constraint, which also dispelled Pangu ethnic concerns. They merged Ni and the wise man together, using the wise man as the main template, produced a large number of human beings, and spread the whole star sea.

“Who knew by then that some of the women's clans had been eroded by the demons, that the 'Three Origin Laws' were not necessarily so indestructible, and that in the aftermath of the civil war of the floods, the awakening and rise of mankind had become impenetrable. ”

“Is this your fabrication or is there conclusive evidence? ”

Li Yao asked, "Why do I sound like a storyteller? ”

“Half the time, archaeologists and floodplain historians do have plenty of evidence, albeit not enough, like the stars shining in the night sky. ”

Zhuge Jinglan chuckled, “I'm just connecting these stars together to outline a constellation. ”

“But your story is fatally flawed. ”

Li Yao pointed to the Anglicans below, “If the Neighbors were wiped out by the Wise Men in the ‘survival experiment' hundreds of thousands of years ago, how can these people be the descendants of the Neighbours?

“As far as I know, many of the Allies were converted from normal people on the Empire's side, and any normal person could be brainwashed and converted into a Saint Alliance, all descendants of the Ni? ”

“No, no, no, you didn't hear what I just said. ”

Zhuge Jinglan said silently, “I didn't say ‘exterminate’. I just said that the Wise Men ate the Ni people and merged. They were all our ancestors, but the genes of the Wise People accounted for a larger proportion.

“You can simply understand that 90 percent of our genes come from sages, 10 percent from Nis, and that part of our genes from Nis is usually suppressed and dormant, and like another human subspecies, 'demons', we actually carry a lot of demon genes in our bodies, so normal people who take chaos and holy water can also turn into demons, right?

“In fact, there are so many mysteries deep in our genes that even the best geneticists can translate up to 30% of the content on the gene chain, and even think that more than 50% of the junk genes are useless.

“Is it possible that we, the most powerful heirs of flood civilization, the most perfect carbon-based life form, carry 50% of the garbage gene? No, it's just an excuse for their ignorance, and I believe that 50% of this unknown gene is our hope for evolution, and that includes a fraction of the 'Nemesis gene'. ”
