This is a vast lake.
The whole body is round and the lake water is pure, like a silver-white round mirror, upside down at the foot of the rolling green mountains.
Once upon a time, this was a place where countless creatures gathered to drink water, and it was also a hunting ground for ferocious beasts such as jackals, tigers, and leopards.
But since the rise of mankind and the occupation of this mirror-like lake, no ferocious beast has dared to hunt here.
Those ferocious beasts that were too stupid to realize the horrors of human beings all turned into piles of bones by the lake, towers and tombstones of various shapes.
This night, the stars were exceptionally bright.
Even the big and round moon could not cover up the shining starlight.
The starlight gathered into a vast ocean, and it was like a swirling silver storm, falling from the sky to the earth. .
The tribe at the foot of the mountain lit bonfires and were having a grand celebration to celebrate that they had hunted another huge prey.
A tribesman with wrinkles on his face and a slightly stooped back walked away from his tribe and came to the lake with his footsteps rising and falling.
Behind the scenes is a celebration of joy and bustle.
In front of me is the silent and deep unknown.
The tribesman first stared at his own reflection in the lake.
His forehead is slightly tilted back, his nose is large and flat, the hair on his face has not completely faded, but there are two huge canine teeth protruding from his lips.
At first glance, he still has not completely escaped the traces of prehistoric times and ignorance.
But those slightly yellowish turbid eyes quietly absorbed the starlight reflected in the lake, gradually becoming deeper and sharper, adding a bit of black and silver color.
The gradually sharp eyes of the tribesmen continued to extend, first licking the bright moon in the lake, and then, following the moonlight and starlight, extending to the sky.
When billions of stars exploded before his eyes, he couldn't help but stretch out his furry arms toward the endless sea of stars, as if he wanted to hold the entire universe in his palms.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch!"
He began to howl, as if he wanted to use his cry to break the darkness between heaven and earth, to give a name to the moon and each star, and to call his people to one day go and have a look above the moon and stars.
Look at what the world in the sky looks like.
"boom!"
At the moment when the tribesmen stretched out their hands towards the starry sky and howled, the whole world once again erupted with a dazzling golden light, which represented that the tester had completed the second leap, evolving from ancient times to the middle ages, and the true meaning of the world was born.
"Civilization"!
Li Yao watched all this quietly.
He was like an omnipresent and omnipotent god, condescendingly watching the rise, struggle, spread and conquest of countless human tribes.
However, he got into the body of this tribal man who faced the lake and looked up at the stars.
He personally felt that human beings knew themselves for the first time and became curious about the stars.
The joy and touch that cannot be described in words.
"That's it?"
Li Yao looked at "himself" dancing and jumping in the lake, and murmured in confusion, "Is this the so-called 'ultimate test'?"
No wonder he was confused.
Although it is very difficult to make thousands of choices for the evolution of life and ultimately the birth of civilization in a short period of time, these choices basically do not escape the basic route of human evolution.
Li Yao only needs to rely on instinct to choose , which roughly completed the advancement from an archaean carpet to a human tribe.
Such a test seems inconsistent with the power and mystery of the original ancestor, the maker of the black wall, and it is not enough to stump a hundred ancient civilizations!
Li Yao pondered for a moment and realized instantly that he had taken it too much for granted.
From his perspective, of course he would feel that the "ultimate test" is too simple, because he is a pure human being and a 100% genetic copy of the original ancestor.
Therefore, he knew very well how he, the original ancestor, had evolved, and his instinctive reaction was the correct answer.
But what if the tester is not a human like him, but other carbon-based intelligent life forms?
For example, if the tester is a "Gonggong tribe" born in rivers, lakes and seas, like molluscs such as jellyfish and sponges, would it be obvious at a glance that the "little silverbait" is the most promising to climb to the pinnacle of evolution?
Race?
In fact, would a "Gonggong Tribe" tester definitely choose to go to land instead of exploring the deeper oceans to find the one-in-a-billion possibility of civilization being born from seawater?
In the same way, the "Zhurong tribe" is a kind of extremely special carbon-based intelligent life that was born in volcanic and magma environments and relies on high temperatures and "poisonous gas" to survive.
When a tester of the Zhurong tribe is in the original submarine volcanic environment , can he really resist the temptation to change the structure of the cell's outer membrane and absorb a large amount of heat energy?
The same is true even for the seemingly most successful and powerful carbon-based intelligent life form, the Pangu.

Compared with humans, the Pangu are more closely related to giant reptiles.
Many Pangu look like humanoid Tyrannosaurus rex— —Perhaps, on the native planet of the Pangu tribe, giant reptiles such as dinosaurs had never encountered meteorite attacks and climate changes, so that the Pangu tribe evolved into the unique appearance it has today.
So, when faced with the choice between reptiles and mammals, can a Pangu tester naturally choose mammals like Li Yao and persevere to the end no matter how many difficulties and setbacks he encounters?
Impossible.
The logical thinking mode of every carbon-based intelligent life is greatly affected by its body shape, that is, the environment of the original planet, even if they have obtained the cells of the original ancestor and deeply analyzed the gene fragments of the original ancestor. , roughly know how the original ancestors evolved, but when faced with the ever-changing environment and having to make hundreds or thousands of choices in one second, they still can't help but bear the distinct imprint of their own civilization.
In other words, the Gonggong Clan, the Zhurong Clan, the Pangu Clan, or those "mechanical civilizations", "black iron civilizations", "semi-energy civilizations"...the mutation selection and final evolved forms of all kinds of testers are definitely not what Li Yao is now.
This is what I saw.
From this perspective, the thinking of the experts and scholars in Immortal Palace is very correct - only by replicating real humans can we fully understand the original ancestor's mind, and even complete the original ancestor's test by instinct without any effort.
However, getting to this point is just the beginning.
From the bottom of the sea to the land, from ignorance to wisdom, from the spirit of all things to the king of the universe, human beings still have a long way to go, and this "road to the sky" that follows the stars and marches into the universe is probably the real one. test.
Sure enough, when this thought flashed through my mind, another plain, deep and clumsy voice sounded.
"You're here." the voice said.
The information interaction method of this sound is similar to that of the Pangu and Nuwa tribes, but it uses a very special information compression and encryption structure.
The amount of information carried in one syllable is greater than that of the Pangu and Nuwa tribes. dozens of times.
As a result, Li Yao's mind was filled with thousands of waves, and it took him a long time to digest and absorb just three syllables.
Li Yao controlled the tribesman, took a deep breath, and sat down next to the lake.
The bright moonlight, the dazzling stars, the calm lake, and the laughter of the tribesmen behind them make it a dojo that is most suitable for exploring the mysteries of ancient times.
"What should I call you?"
Li Yao tried his best to remain calm, and his consciousness condensed into ripples, "Is it the 'Original Ancestor', the 'Maker of the Black Wall', or the 'Ancient Human Race'?"
"Titles have no meaning to us, no matter 'original ancestor', 'black wall maker' or 'ancient human race'."
The voice said, "A long time ago, in what you call the 'primordial era', our race created the first civilization in this cosmic sea - even if it is not the first generation civilization in the true sense, it is a civilization older than us.
They were all conquered and devoured by us, so we call ourselves the ‘Original Civilization’, and you can also call us the ‘Original Clan’.”
"Cosmic Sea, Yuanshi Clan?"
Li Yao didn't miss every opportunity to inquire further, "What does the cosmic sea mean?
Does it mean the multiverse?"
"Have you seen 'grapes'?"
The voice not only produced the syllable "grape", but also showed Li Yao thousands of grape-like plants.
"If you imagine every universe as a grape, then a bunch of grapes condensed together becomes a piece of grape."
The cosmic sea', or a 'mother universe'."
"But--" Li Yao's soul suddenly shrank, "On a grape vine, there are far more than just one bunch of grapes, but hundreds or even thousands of bunches of grapes.
You mean, even the 'multiverse' is not just one piece, but Are there countless multiverses, countless ‘cosmic seas’, and countless ‘mother universes’?”
"Good question."
The voice said, and included a message of refusal to answer in the syllables, and also gave an explanation.
Even if he reluctantly answered, Li Yao would not be able to understand it at all.
Instead, it would consume his mind and make him lost in the world.
In the vastness and depth, "It's just that I can't tell you the answer.
The answer above the cosmic sea is far beyond what our information interaction can explain."
"So……" Li Yao pondered for a moment and felt that the voice did not mean to reject people thousands of miles away.
He changed his direction and continued to ask, "Do you admit that you are the 'Yuan Shi' and the 'Original Ancestor', that is, the one who created the Pangu universe?
The existence of hundreds of generations of civilization?
We are all your descendants, your blood, your variants, in a sense, are all your creations?
" "Yes."
The voice admitted frankly.
"Then, you created us and... destroyed us, and destroyed hundreds of generations of civilization?"
Li Yao's soul burned fiercely, and the light golden ripples of his mind began to tremble violently.
