"Am I the answer?"
Li Yao murmured to himself, "Doesn't even the majestic 'Emperor' know who he is, where he comes from, and why he is born?"
"Yes, the man who was called the 'Emperor' in the myths and legends of later generations and who left behind countless bizarre and absurd legends was just a passer-by lost in the sea of stars, a man who spent his whole life looking for answers.
It is a pity that until the end of his life, he does not know the significance of his own creation and that of the entire human civilization, and that we...may have delayed our mission for hundreds of millions of years."
The voice of the tombkeeper was full of desolation, clumsiness and helplessness.
As the flow of information ripples and surges, the looming illusions all around become clear.
It was like going back hundreds of thousands of years, back to when the Pangu civilization had just discovered ancient ruins and established a large-scale cutting-edge laboratory here.
"Emperor...my memory begins with a tiny embryo."
The voice of the tombkeeper became deeper and deeper, like a murmur in a dream.
It entered the role of "Emperor", or it was simply playing the Emperor's last words, "I am like a ball floating in the primitive ocean."
Archaea thrive in hot, nutritious seawater Drifting with the current, in just a few days or dozens or hundreds of days, I experienced the path from bacteria to carbon-based intelligent life that would take billions of years to travel.
Then I realized that I was not drifting in the vast ocean.
Instead, they live in an artificially simulated nutrient solution.
“It was a really weird feeling.
"If I were really a bacterium, or just a cell, even an embryo of carbon-based intelligent life, I should not have self-awareness and sophisticated thinking ability, be able to be 'aware' of my own living environment, and even be able to release Use things like 'spiritual thought' and 'thinking touch' to perceive and explore the surrounding world.
"But I happen to have this ability.
I can clearly perceive the entire process of my evolution from a small bacterium waving flagella and tentacles to a multi-celled organism and even an intelligent life embryo.
I can even scan nutrients.
The reinforced glass wall outside the liquid, and the vast and complex laboratory outside the culture chamber.
"That is a cutting-edge laboratory that is a hundred times larger and more advanced than the one you see in front of you.
There seem to be thousands of similar culture chambers cultivating batches of embryos or similar things at the same time, and there are many more Embryos that had matured but were not very successful were also used as waste.
They were sliced and studied on the operating tables and crystal brains of the Pangu and Nuwa tribes, and virtual experiments were conducted.
Various weird and whimsical experiments were carried out day and night.
Absolutely.”
As the tombkeeper continued to play the "Emperor's" last words, the surrounding environment also changed, and there were scenes of countless Pangu and Nuwa tribes wearing sealed sterile suits, immersed in experiments.
The experimental objects on the operating table and the crystal light screen include all kinds of strange and ferocious beasts, but most of them can still vaguely recognize the appearance of humans.
"At that time, I had no idea what the prehistoric race had done.
I only knew that they had cultivated thousands of embryos similar to mine, and stimulated the embryos in various ways, hoping to activate the mysterious power hidden deep in the embryos. , but most of the experiments failed.”
The emperor continued in a low and sad voice, "Some embryos are unable to activate any power, and they stop abruptly in the process of evolution, turning into various carbon-based life forms without any intelligence at all, beasts that feed on hair and drink blood; some embryos cannot withstand excessive stress.
Strong stimulation, direct explosion and destruction, completely melted into the nutrient solution; and most of them Although the separated embryo successfully grew into a fetus and then from a fetus into a baby, it did not show any extraordinary supernatural powers after birth.
In addition to its relatively strong reproductive capacity and environmental adaptability, it was simply powerless to restrain a chicken.
Compared with Pangu The advanced and powerful prehistoric races such as the Nuwa, Gonggong, and Zhurong tribes are far inferior.
"The researchers from the Pangu and Nuwa tribes seem to be very dissatisfied with the experimental results.
I can sense their anxiety, anger and even despair.
"At that time, I was just a small embryo, not much more complicated than bacteria.
In my understanding, the prehistoric race was more than just a god or demon, it was simply a life of a higher dimension.
There was something that could They all feel 'anxious' and 'desperate', and I really can't imagine what that could be.
"In short, the researchers of the prehistoric civilization conducted experiments on countless embryos, and input the data of the failed experiments into the next batch of experimental embryos, changed the experimental environment and stimulation parameters, and suffered the next failure.
However, In every batch of embryos that fail, there are always 1% that survive by chance.
They are neither destroyed by strong stimulation nor embarked on the wrong evolutionary path.
They develop and mature in a relatively weak posture.
They just maintain In the embryonic state, it absorbs silently and continues to lie dormant.
"I am the luckiest embryo among them.
It took me three years to go from cell to embryo to fetal state."
In front of Li Yao's eyes, a training warehouse like a crystal tower appeared.

At first, the culture chamber seemed empty except for the light green nutrient solution.
Only by releasing his spiritual power to the limit, could Li Yao scan something similar to a cell from the nutrient solution.
The reason why it is said to be "similar to a cell" is because the structure of an ordinary cell should be very simple, but the inside of this cell is extremely mysterious and complicated, as if... it contains the entire universe.
As time passed, the researchers surrounding the crystal tower changed one after another.
From the beginning, the Pangu tribe were tall and had malformed and swollen brains; to the Nuwa tribe, which had the head of a human and the body of a snake, and had a "gene capsule" on its tail, which could disassemble and combine genes at will; to the Kuafu tribe and the insect swarm of plant life.
Life Houyi tribe, as well as Zhu Rong tribe, Gonggong tribe, etc., each prehistoric carbon-based intelligent life uses their unique secret method to modulate embryos, injecting a large amount of nutrients, gene fragments, psychic energy ripples and information into the embryos flow.
Under such stimulation and "feeding", the embryo slowly expanded, growing from the original bacteria into a pale golden flesh ball with a diameter of more than 20 to 30 centimeters, like a crystal formed by shrinking a star billions of times.
Slowly rotating, pumping and sucking, releasing a mysterious and gorgeous light.
Indeed, as the emperor said, it has been dormant and devouring for three years, unwilling to break out of its shell even one second earlier.
"I seem to be the experimental subject in the entire laboratory who has persisted in the embryonic state the longest."
The emperor said, "After I stood out from countless embryos, I naturally attracted the attention of most prehistoric researchers.
The resources of the entire laboratory were concentrated on me, allowing me to withstand stronger stimulation each time, and I Indeed, under such stimulation, I saw many pictures and awakened a lot of knowledge, a lot of wisdom that does not belong to this era and this universe.
"It's like this is not my first life, but my 'reincarnation'.
Before I was cultivated from the laboratory this time, I lived once or even countless times.
I once lived in the Pangu universe.
In the vast sea of stars outside, I have fought, struggled, resisted, been defeated, despaired, and escaped!
"In the depths of my consciousness, countless images flashed across my mind.
Even the simplest image cannot be described with words.
"I saw myself in the past, or humans similar to me, with pale golden flow lines emerging all over the body.
They were born with the ability to control the wind and rain and control all living things.
We stepped on incredibly huge battleships, wielded lightning and thunder, and traveled around the world.
The sea of stars and even the multiverse time, conquer those intelligent beings whose forms are different from ours, deprive them of their wisdom, devour their civilization, integrate the essence of their civilization into our civilization, and even transform everything in their civilization into the form of information flow.
Etched in our gene pool.
"Whether it's the giants as tall as mountains on the ultra-low-density planet in the center of the brilliant star sea, or the crystal clear, weak and boneless ocean people on the ocean planet, or the planet that is too close to the star with almost no atmosphere and extremely hot climate The solar insect swarm born on the earth... all kinds of intelligent life forms that look ferocious and terrifying, and would not even appear in nightmares, have all been conquered by us, and have become a small but clear imprint in the human gene pool.
"Every one of us, every cell in every human body, is a 'museum of cosmic civilization'.
On any gene chain, there are at least hundreds of carbon-based intelligent life stored in it, all of which are solidified one by one. civilization, this is our spoils.
"We use the dragon as a symbol, and we can even completely unlock our own abilities and turn ourselves into a real dragon.
The so-called 'dragon' is a super life form that swallows billions of creatures and is created from the genetic essence of billions of creatures.
"but…… “Even super beings as powerful as giant dragons or gods and demons will reach insurmountable limits when facing the mysterious and vast universe.
"After our civilization reached its peak, it fell to the bottom almost instantly.
The invincible golden years were suddenly smashed to pieces.
We went from being the masters of the multiverse to a homeless dog wandering around.
We are always victorious in every battle.
The glory and glory have all turned into humiliation and fear that can only be felt all day long.
"Who is our enemy?
How did we become like this?
If this is what I experienced in my 'previous life', how did I come to the 'present life' from the 'previous life'?
“I really want to know the answers to these questions, and I really want to continue to explore that bizarre scene and the endless past.
"But the prehistoric researchers in the laboratory are not willing to let me continue to receive too strong stimulation.
I can vaguely sense that they seem to be... afraid of me, the awakening of mankind."
