Forty Millenniums of Cultivation Chapter 3092: birth, the spirit of all things!
Whether trilobites, nautilus or nailfish are a hundred percent's marine overlords.
The trilobite and nautilus both have a hard carapace and a relatively "large" size. In most oceans, Ancient Life Form is Era, which is not much larger than plankton.
Not to mention the armor fish, in addition to the hard carapace, it also has a fast moving power, which can rampage and sweep away all prey.
But Li Yao did not hesitate to rule out these three seemingly attractive evolutionary options.
Because he knows very well, no matter how powerful trilobites, nautilus and turtles look, they are eventually eliminated in the long river.
Too large size means that they need to consume more energy to survive, and it is necessary to spend most of their time on hunting, digestion and absorption.
Too hard carapace, on the one hand, deterred their ability to mutate further, on the other hand, they indulged in an illusory sense of security and lost the need for evolution.
A life without a sense of crisis and aggressiveness is destined to be a life without a future. It will never be able to ignite the fire of evolution and will only become a fossil after hundreds of millions of years.
Therefore, Li Yao excludes all Top-Grade predators, but chooses an unremarkable little silverfish as a carrier of his consciousness.
It is said to be small whitebait, but their average body size is no more than half a centimeter, and they are like tiny silvery insects.
This little silver fish has almost no predatory ability. Instead, it is the best food for Top-Grade predators such as nautilus, trilobites and armorfish. When Top-Grade predators patrol around them, they are all Without resistance, it can only be slaughtered.
But they have one of the biggest advantages, that is unmatched reproductive ability and survivability.
Their life cycle is extremely short, and they mate and breed almost every second in their short life. They have evolved preliminary male and female sexes, and each time a female fish sprays, it can shoot thousands of A tiny dusty seed of life, as long as it absorbs the heat energy close to the sea, will have a chance to survive.
And their unique digestive system can transform almost all food into energy, from plankton on the sea, to the carrion of the Top-Grade predator, from the original fungus blanket on the sea floor, or sea grass and sea Sunflowers, they can even attach to the ancient jellyfish and form a harmonious and orderly symbiosis with the jellyfish, relying on the jellyfish to digest the food residue to survive.
At the beginning of Life birth, quantity is a key indicator that is far more important than quality.
The Li Yao's consciousness is devoted to this group of small silver fishes, and it is a deliberate, deliberate choice of those mutation directions that can increase the number of groups.
He refused to expand the body of the small whitebait, excluding the possibility of covering the body of the small whitebait with a solid carapace, and of course did not hesitate to kill the sharper teeth that appeared to be extremely aggressive. In fact, the self-destructive mutation gives the small whitebait more powerful digestion and absorption capacity and reproduction ability, of course, it also has a subtle perception of the planet magnetic field and a stronger voyage ability.
In this way, in just a moment or hundreds of millions of years of evolution, the small silverfish and its different variants gradually spread to the entire ocean, from the dark and cold Arctic to the sunny equator, all the seas shine with small Light and shadow of silver fish.
During this period, the trilobite was covered by the mud on the seabed, and the nautilus became empty. The once-dominant armorfish evolved a stronger and stronger carapace and sharper teeth, and more After getting bigger and bigger, he was gradually dragged down by his heavy "armor, shield and weaponry", unable to keep up with the agility and speed of the new generation of marine life, and eventually swallowed by his insatiable appetite and reduced to an evolutionary loser.
A new marine overlord appears.
They may be streamlined, faster, and more agile sharks.
Or eight tentacles that can freely change skin color and body shape, grow rigid and soft, and even use water jets to increase speed.
Even a variety of highly toxic jellyfish.
Most marine overlords use small whitebait as one of the main dishes in the recipe.
There is a whale covered with star spots, which can swallow several tons of small whitebait in one breath. For this reason, a set of organs has been specially developed to filter seawater and absorb small whitebait.
However, no matter how they slaughtered, they could not reduce the overall number of small whitebait, but instead made the small whitebait become the basis of the entire food chain, the key to the survival of countless species.
Li Yao vaguely felt that the time was ripe.
Marching, marching, you have to march on land regardless of everything!
Although the ocean is vast, except for the places close to the continental shelf and the volcanoes under the sea, the resources are not as rich as people think, but rather it is quite barren like a desert full of distilled water.
More importantly, the heavy pressure of seawater makes it difficult for the natural catalyst of Civilization, such as "flame", to mention smelting metals, to develop Civilization.
Most of the ancestors of carbon-based intelligent life are birth in the ocean, but they all have to experience the "thrilling leap" from the ocean to the land. Otherwise, it is difficult to develop a mature and efficient Civilization.
Although the universe is vast, there are no wonders, and among the hundreds of millions of souls, there is no shortage of Gonggong Clan "such birth In rivers, lakes, and seas, intelligent creatures similar to jellyfish, but after all, it is one of the very few, Gonggong Clan Itself, is also getting Pangu Clan And the help of other wild races, it really evolved into the starry sky Era .
Under the command of Li Yao's, from the ocean to the land, a mighty, magnificent and thrilling "landing battle" began.
This is not a one-on-one war, nor a battle for gains and losses in one city, one place, but a war spanning hundreds of millions of years, for the rise or death of a Civilization.
In the beginning, the small silverfish that was accidentally washed up on the beach by the tide, or jumped to the beach in a panic to escape the Top-Grade predator, failed unexpectedly.
But Li Yao has enough patience and a clear direction of evolution. He firmly grasps the most useful possibilities among the hundreds of millions of mutation possibilities, giving some small silverfish the ability to breathe in the air, and relying on strong and powerful The ability of fins to advance on the beach, bounce and dig.
These little silver fish even learned to dig holes on the beach with fins, drilled in and kept themselves moist, waiting for the next high tide, thus the ability to freely come and go on the ocean and land is like some kind of ancient The creatures are like the scribble fish.
The road to evolution is destined to be lonely and dangerous.
The little silver fish jumping around on land has encountered a hundred times more difficulties and dangers than in the warm and comfortable hometown and ocean.
But in order to solve these dangers, or in the cruel survival competition, more genes that are not adapted to change have been eliminated, but it has given generations of small silverfish and more formidable viability.
The scales and fins have faded, and more powerful limbs and tails have grown. Their skin is attached to mucus that isolates the air. The first row of sharp teeth has finally grown in their mouths, and they have evolved from fish to amphibians. class.
For the first time, the little silver fish breathed the dry air, saw the eruption of the volcano, the mountains and rivers with thick smoke, and saw the lush primitive forest.
The road to evolution afterwards was like walking on the fast lane, the blue sea turned into mulberry fields, fighting to star shift, everything was accelerated by a hundred times.
Era is changing, the environment is changing, and all living things are changing like crazy.
Li Yao refused to let his controlled species change towards the direction of giant crustaceans, because he knew that although at a certain stage in the ancient times, giant type insects and arthropods were indeed overlords on land, but with the variation of plants As the oxygen content in the air continues to decrease, the size of giant type insects and arthropods will be forced to shrink, and they will withdraw from the competition stage of Top-Grade predators.
He also vetoed the direction of becoming a bee-like "swarm Civilization". Although the wisdom of clustering may indeed brew a powerful Civilization, it does not conform to the Li Yao's philosophy after all.
Similarly, he denies the path of giant reptiles without thinking. When dinosaurs trample the earth, killing and roaring, he would prefer to keep shrinking the size of his dominant creatures and squirming between bushes and caves.
mammals, only mammals is the only correct direction of evolution. Li Yao firmly believes in this and silently bears the price that has to be paid temporarily.
Sure enough, the expected meteorite rain attack came one after another, the mountains and rivers changed color, the sun and the moon were dark, countless plants withered and annihilated, and more new student plants changed the atmospheric environment in a completely different way. Dinosaurs, the king of the land, either fell under the blazing flames caused by the meteorite rain, or died of a drastic change in the composition of the air, or they could not digest new student plants, only to watch a lush, starving to death.
This is the new Era, this is the stage of mammals!
Until this moment, the early Li Yao's careful choices and determination to persevere have received generous returns. The seemingly useless genes have exhibited colorful mutations, making him in a new biological explosion. Taking the lead, the first person has successfully evolved a large enough Brain, enough brain nerve synapses, and a flesh and blood body that has achieved a perfect balance in terms of strength, agility, and energy consumption. It also unlocks including "walking upright, The ability to "leave both hands" and "use flames and make tools" is called "drawing Era".
Mammoths, Saber-Toothed Tiger, various seemingly powerful fierce and cruel people fell under the attack of stone axe and stone spear, the Li Yao's ethnic group raged the earth and expanded to farther distance When burning fierce beasts, the fire of burning fiercely symbolizes the true overlord, the spirit of all things that will eventually rule the universe, and finally birth!
