My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

Chapter 232 Evolution

Once this exquisite and breathtaking balance was firmly established, an almost dreamlike ideal environment, like a dazzling jewel, made its debut in this vast universe.

This environment is like a rare treasure meticulously crafted by nature, the masterful creator, with every detail being flawless and exquisite.

In those countless worlds of sand, the spark of life began to quietly ignite, and the evolutionary process of single-celled organisms began.

Time flies like an arrow, and single-celled organisms undergo transformation and innovation time and time again under the baptism of long years.

Gradually, some magical and unique changes began to quietly spread among them.

Some single-celled organisms seem to have been inspired by some mysterious force. They are no longer satisfied with their independent existence, but instead choose to merge with each other and work together.

As a result, amazing structures composed of multiple cells came into being.

These tiny structures are like closely united alliances in the microscopic world, with members working together seamlessly and in perfect harmony to cope with all kinds of severe tests and difficulties from all directions.

Meanwhile, in the unfathomable, dark, and tranquil depths of the ocean, an unprecedented and strange creature emerged from its cocoon.

This creature resembles a jellyfish in appearance, but unlike others, it has an incredibly tough shell, like a warrior clad in armor.

Even more remarkably, its body emits faint, shimmering fluorescent light. While this faint light cannot penetrate the darkness and illuminate the entire sea, it is enough to make a small patch of water around it appear dreamlike and radiant.

Moreover, this light seems to contain some special information or summoning power, attracting other similar beings to gather around it like a magnet.

They gathered into an extremely large community, and the light of wisdom emanating from that community was already faintly visible, as if they were about to break out of their cocoons.

On the vast, boundless land, lush mosses began to spread out like a green tide.

The unique scent emitted by these mosses subtly alters the composition of the atmosphere, filling the air with a peculiar aroma.

Meanwhile, deep within the majestic mountains, the mysterious and unpredictable spiritual vein, like a long-dormant dragon, finally began to flow slowly.

The rich, pure spiritual energy, like a gentle stream, silently seeped into the vast earth. This magical energy was like a key, unlocking the door to mutation and evolution in certain creatures.

Many animals, nourished by spiritual energy, gradually undergo physical changes, becoming increasingly agile and strong. Some even begin to exhibit initial signs of spirituality, becoming acutely aware of subtle fluctuations in the surrounding spiritual energy.

And so, a magnificent and epic cultivation journey slowly unfolded before our very eyes.

However, it is important to note that the initial methods of cultivation at this stage were vastly different from the well-developed and mature cultivation systems such as the Dao of Immortality and the Dao of Gods that people are familiar with later.

At this time, cultivation had not even formed a complete system; it could be said to be in its most primitive and uncivilized state—purely relying on the evolution of the physical body to continuously improve one's strength.

Just as a cultivation craze was beginning to sweep across this land, an ordinary, unremarkable ape unexpectedly began to stand out.

This ape was born with an extraordinary sensitivity to spiritual energy, so every day it would tirelessly come to the vicinity of the spiritual vein, eagerly absorbing the ever-flowing spiritual energy.

Time flies, and the monkey's body grew stronger and more powerful. Its fur shone with an amazing light, as dazzling as the stars in the night sky.

As its strength grew, this intelligent ape began to try to convey its inner thoughts and feelings to its companions through simple roars.

However, the ordinary apes remained completely oblivious and unaware, unable to comprehend the meaning of the sounds it made.

After numerous failed attempts, the lonely monkey resolutely embarked on its own journey. Traveling over mountains and valleys, it finally arrived at a magnificent waterfall.

The waterfall cascaded down like a silver river falling from the heavens, its rapid current crashing against the rocks and splashing water everywhere, creating a hazy, misty scene, with the air thick with moisture.

When the ape stepped into this area, it keenly sensed that there was an extremely abundant spiritual energy here, which made it feel refreshed and comfortable.

Therefore, it decided without hesitation to devote itself to cultivation here in order to further improve its abilities.

In the long days and nights that followed, the determined monkey tirelessly honed its skills.

It carefully observes the various things in its surroundings and cleverly uses branches and flexible vines to weave simple yet practical tools.

With the help of these homemade tools, it became increasingly adept at catching prey.

At the same time, the daily practice gradually made the monkey's originally dull eyes bright and spirited, like two shining gems, as if they contained endless light of wisdom.

However, as the saying goes, "the tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind," the ape's astonishing growth rate and extraordinary talent eventually attracted the attention of a behemoth in the mountains—a giant beast.

The giant beast, filled with jealousy, opened its blood-red maw and let out a deafening roar. Then, it charged at the ape with its strong, powerful limbs, attempting to drive this threat to its position out of the country.

Faced with the menacing beast, the ape was filled with fear, but it did not choose to retreat or run away.

Instead, it quickly bent down, picked up the sharp stones from the ground, and held them tightly in its hands, regarding them as its only weapon to rely on, preparing to face a fierce battle of life and death.

Because it knew that this battle was not only about its own safety, but could also be a crucial turning point on its path to becoming a more powerful cultivator...

The ape gripped the stone tightly in its hand, its palms turning slightly white from the excessive force, and its legs trembled slightly uncontrollably, but its bright eyes always shone with unwavering determination.

Just then, the enormous beast let out a deafening roar, opened its gaping maw—large enough to swallow an entire elephant—and pounced on the ape with ferocity, like a moving mountain.

However, the ape reacted extremely quickly. In a flash, it leaped onto a thick tree nearby like a bolt of lightning.

Once it had a firm footing, the ape immediately seized the opportunity and, with all its might, hurled the stone it was holding tightly toward the giant beast's eyes.

The blow struck the giant beast squarely in the right eye. The beast felt a sharp pain and roared repeatedly, its already ferocious face now appearing even more menacing.

Enraged, the giant beast swung its sharp, knife-like claws wildly, sweeping them fiercely towards the tree trunk where the ape was.

Seeing that the tree was about to collapse under the powerful impact, the ape quickly grabbed a drooping vine, swung forward, and nimbly avoided the giant beast's attack.

At the same time, it quickly bent down to pick up more stones scattered on the ground and launched a series of fierce attacks on the giant beast with lightning speed.

In this extremely fierce battle, the ape keenly noticed that after each attack by the giant beast, there would be a brief pause.

So, it had a sudden idea and began to leap and weave around the giant beast, dodging its pursuit while occasionally provoking it and deliberately angering it.

In this way, the giant beast was like a headless fly being played around, running around aimlessly with the ape, gradually becoming exhausted and panting.

Finally, when the giant beast was exhausted and about to collapse, the ape seized the opportunity and quickly climbed to a higher place. There, it was overjoyed to discover a huge and incredibly sharp stone slab.

Overjoyed, the ape grabbed the stone without hesitation, then with all its might, leaped high into the air and slammed it down on the giant beast's head.

With a loud "bang," the hard stone fragment struck the giant beast squarely on the head. Severely wounded, the beast could no longer resist, its massive body crashing to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Standing on the high ground, the ape looked down at the giant beast lying at its feet and couldn't help but let out a long howl. The wild and triumphant roar echoed throughout the valley and lingered for a long time.

After this thrilling life-or-death struggle, the apes gained a profound understanding of the limitations of their own strength.

Although it had managed to defeat this powerful enemy by sheer luck, it knew clearly that if it were to encounter an even stronger opponent in the future, it would be difficult to cope with its current abilities alone.

Therefore, the ape secretly resolved to find more effective ways to improve its strength so that it could remain invincible in this perilous jungle world.

In the vast, boundless mountains and forests, a newly awakened ape begins to develop a keen interest in the world around it.

It curiously observes the unique living habits of various plants and animals in the mountains and forests, trying to figure out the secrets of their survival.

This intelligent ape is not only good at observation, but also actively explores and practices.

It learned to cleverly use various natural materials to enhance its defensive capabilities and attempted to transform these materials into effective weapons to attack potential enemies.

Day after day, it accumulates experience and hones its skills, steadily progressing towards a higher level of spiritual cultivation.

As time quietly passed, the once naive ape gradually grew into a powerful figure in the mountains and forests. However, no matter how the years changed, it never stopped pursuing progress.

In this mountain forest, which is both full of opportunities and fraught with dangers, its presence gradually fades into the distance, leaving behind only those amazing legendary stories.

Millions of years later, the world has changed, and the stars have shifted. The brave and fearless ape of yesteryear has turned into a mound of dust, buried deep beneath the earth. But the unique cultivation methods it painstakingly discovered have not disappeared; instead, they have been passed down and continued.

This method of cultivation abandons the traditional reliance on physical evolution and instead focuses on unlocking the inner light of wisdom within living beings.

After a long period of evolution and development, a completely new race emerged. They were skilled at using all kinds of tools, could walk upright freely, and shared a similarity of up to 90% with humans.

However, this emerging race does not call itself the human race, but proudly calls itself the "god race".

With their powerful and advanced tools, the Protoss displayed unparalleled strength on the land.

They easily defeated numerous ferocious and brutal wild beasts, quickly establishing their dominance and becoming the undisputed overlords of this land.

However, despite their formidable power, the Protoss suffered from social disorder and constant internal strife due to their neglect of moral cultivation.

Ultimately, this seemingly invincible race of gods could not escape the fate of decline, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, its brief glory quickly disappearing into the long river of history.

Along with the bloody massacres brought about by the rise of the gods like a storm, and the countless powerful souls left behind by the gods after their deaths, as if drawn by a mysterious force, endless spirituality continuously gathered together and gradually merged and condensed into a powerful consciousness capable of influencing the operation of the entire world's rules.

This consciousness was the initial form of the Heavenly Dao that would later dominate the world.

Under the favor and protection of this mysterious and powerful Heavenly Dao consciousness, a branch of the divine race miraculously survived.

However, perhaps due to some special limitation or guidance from the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao, this branch of the divine race did not possess the supreme wisdom that transcends all things in the world, nor did it have the extraordinary talent to manipulate various tools and skills at will.

Surprisingly, this branch possesses an extraordinary learning ability. They deeply understand the immense power that unity can unleash, recognize the crucial importance of inheritance for the continuation and development of the race, and are unafraid to make tragic sacrifices to defend their heritage.
