Wu Sheng: I can adapt to evolution

Chapter 174 Civilization
Compared to the monsters in the outside world that release terrifying power at any time, these little lives are too fragile.

They struggle to survive in the cracks, feed on moss underground, and use all means to avoid powerful enemies.

But their weak bodies and warm flesh and blood are a rare delicacy for the outside world.

Especially some monsters that have evolved like snakes. They can insert their bodies into the caves dug by these small creatures, and then swallow them one after another.

In order to continue the race, these little lives have to give birth to litters of cubs one after another, so that the race will not become extinct through the advantage of numbers.

Originally, everything should have developed in this orderly manner.

The strong fight constantly, and eventually the strongest will emerge, while the weak will always be at the bottom of the food chain.

until……

Until one day, the plants in the world suddenly changed from purple-red to red. After a long time, the endless purple-red plants that were originally all over the mountains and plains finally turned red after countless iterations, with only a hint of not very obvious purple.

The extraordinary factors released by plants of this color are obviously not suitable for the growth of those powerful monsters, causing the powerful monsters that originally had the ability to fly and hide and had terrifying strength to continue to decline in strength and size.

On the contrary, those weak creatures that originally hid in the caves were extremely adaptable to this new extraordinary factor.

Although this version of the supernatural factor is not as powerful as the original one, it is also milder and less likely to get out of control.

After absorbing new extraordinary factors from generation to generation, these weak lives have continuously evolved in strength and begun to grow in size.

After an unknown amount of time, they finally walked out of the cave, began to enter the forest, and then set foot on the grassland.

They are extremely intelligent and have learned to cooperate from a very early age. They can even use various clever tactics to defeat powerful enemies that far exceed their size.

It is also because of this that their population is growing and the territory they occupy is getting larger and larger.

Those originally powerful beasts were driven into the desolate mountains, but they did not fall into internal strife or stagnation of development.

Instead, they built buildings on the vast land, repaired altars, and raised powerful beasts.

They put on clothes, developed culture, tamed monsters, established tribes and cities...

They became them.

Time is still accelerating madly. Due to their different geographical environments, they have developed different cultures. The collision and integration of different cultures have made their civilizations more brilliant.

In this situation, some wise men began to pursue their own path of exploration.

They deduced a more complete method of cultivation that could better utilize the extraordinary factors, and also defined the realm of cultivation so that everyone could judge the level of their own cultivation; they even began to extract more unstable but more powerful extraordinary powers from the blood of powerful beasts to achieve their own breakthroughs.

"The above is the early development history of our human race."

"We have gone through more than fifteen thousand years of development. Countless ancestors have devoted their energy and energy to continuously improve the cultivation methods, which has led to the glorious era of cultivation we see today."

In a vast building, a group of teenagers looked up at the ancient murals, as if they had returned to that barbaric era.

It's difficult for modern people to imagine life back then; they can only glimpse it through these relics. "Those ancient ancestors, from nothing, were able to forge a vast path of spiritual cultivation. How can we, the younger generation, be content with the status quo and stop striving for progress?"

"The high school entrance exam is in three months. If you haven't even reached the [Clear Qi] realm, you will be assigned to the cultural studies department and won't even have a chance to get into a key university."

In front of this group of teenagers, a middle-aged teacher said loudly with a stern face.

The youngsters were originally in a playful mood, but after hearing this, their hearts sank.

Most of them have not reached the [Ming Qi] realm.

To generate the Qi sensation, one needs to be physically strong to a certain degree, a step that can stop many people. Although the physical fitness of each generation of young people is slightly improving, it is still very difficult to step into the [Ming Qi] before the age of sixteen.

Although entering the cultural department does not mean that you cannot practice, but every step you take is slow, especially before the age of 30, the golden age for practice. Basically, entering the cultural department means the end of the path of practice.

"Jiang Chun, let's go. When you enter the cultural department in the future, you will have a lifetime to study these ancient relics."

In the crowd, there was a slightly thin boy who was approaching these ancient monuments and observing them carefully.

"Okay...okay."

Jiang Chun came back to his senses and a shy smile appeared on his face.

Compared with the pressure of taking exams for others, he has no worries at all. It's not because he is strong enough, but because he has a congenital deficiency. It is much more difficult for him to practice than others, especially the first step [Qi Ming]. If his body is not strong enough, he cannot derive [Qi] from his flesh and blood.

Although he has a strong understanding of many moves, without a physical foundation, everything is just castles in the air.

Jiang Chun also knew that it would be difficult for him to achieve success in spiritual practice, so he shifted his focus to archaeology very early on. This subject is also very popular. If he could unearth some powerful ancient relics, it might supplement the spiritual practice path of today's humans and become very popular from then on.

"what is this?"

He looked up at a wide space separated by transparent glass not far away. Inside was an extremely ancient sarcophagus with a mottled surface and some broken corners.

There was a card placed next to it, but it only had four words written on it: Ancient Sarcophagus.

"This is a coffin we excavated thousands of feet underground. It's strange, though. According to geological analysis of the area surrounding it, this coffin sunk approximately 500,000 years ago."

"According to our current archaeological speculation, that era was probably the time when the stars destroyed the world. If we can get more information from it, perhaps we can solve the mystery of prehistoric human civilization."

Just then, a middle-aged man in a white coat came over, stood next to Jiang Chun, and spoke.

After hearing this, Jiang Chun became even more interested in the sarcophagus in front of him.

Archaeology was very prosperous during this era, and many signs indicated that an older civilization had once lived in this world, but that civilization may have died out due to a mass extinction event 500,000 years ago.

Modern life has developed rapidly in the past 500,000 years.
