Chapter 6: The Trial of Wisdom, the Three Treasures of Civilization

"Run!"

"We can't escape! we're just the size of a hair!"

Countless escaped insects and apes collapsed to the ground.

When everyone screamed, a young insect ape stubbornly looked up at the sky, "You giant beast, are you also here to eat us, you killed Abba, killed Grandma, killed the eldest brother, why are we so weak..."

Xu Shi lowered his head, a little surprised that this young insect ape was brave and dared to question him.

Then, it's up to you.

Xu Shi just gently stretched out his hand and put the insect ape in the palm of his hand.

The young ape's mind went blank for a moment.

On the palm of this huge creature, it seems to be a boundless continent, and it is nothing more than the size of a delicate palm pattern on the palm of a hand.

It raised its head again, and the eyes of the giants were like the bright sun in the sky, and the huge face was bathed in the divine white light, and the face could not be seen clearly, with a majestic and vast divinity.

The hive had shielded Xu Paper's face, and they could only see vague faces that radiated a hazy glow.

Xu Shi dragged this small insect ape with one hand, his eyes calm: "Gilgamesh, do you want to change everything?"

The worm ape suddenly trembled and screamed loudly in the palm of his hand, "You can actually communicate!! What kind of giant beast are you! In this world, there are 10,000 giants with wisdom! How can there be such a perfect existence!?"

He couldn't help but tremble and said, "Also, you call me: Gilgamesh?"

"Name is also one of the manifestations of wisdom. ”

Xu Paper dragged him with his palm, laid it flat in front of his eyes, and replied calmly.

Gilgamesh stood on the palm of his hand, looked at the huge crystal pupils of the giant beast comparable to the sun and the moon, and suddenly said: "We can all communicate! Then we are the same species, we are all intelligent species, why, why don't you save us! You are obviously so powerful! So great!"

They didn't know what they were, they just thought they were a kind of intelligent beast like these behemoths, and Xu Zhi didn't intend to explain anything.

Xu Paper dragged him with his palms and strode around the mountains and rivers.

Large trees were trampled down, and he let the weak ape look down at the whole world from the palm of his hand, and the loud voice resounded in the sky,

"You see the world, every species is equal, you are the same as every plant, every animal, why should I save you alone? just because you have wisdom?"

Gilgamesh was speechless.

Suddenly, he began to despair and suddenly shouted: Then why did you come to us?

Xu Shi said: "No one can save you, and don't try to save anyone, only you can save yourself, but I can hand over the means of civilization to you, and you can save yourself." ”

"Civilization, so what?"

Gilgamesh looked down in shock.

The wind was blowing, and for the first time, he looked down on this vast green land, mountains and rivers from the perspective of the clouds, all under his nose, and countless beasts fled and roared under the feet of the intelligent giant beasts, forming a vast scene that shocked to the extreme.

What a fantastical high-altitude scenery.

What a terrifying and awe-inspiring power!

"What is civilization, you ask?"

It never occurred to Xu Zhi to explain their problems for this nascent race.

He thought for a moment and said his answer, "Civilization is the tinder, civilization is knowledge, civilization is order, and civilization is also the strongest force that wisdom uses to protect itself." ”

"Civilization, the power that we, the species of wisdom, use to protect ourselves?" muttered Gilgamesh.

Xu walked back to the Grand Canyon, gently put Gilgamesh on his shoulder, and then took out the miniature potted plant from the backpack behind his back: the welcome pine, dug up the soil, and buried it in the ground.

This welcome pine, which is only sixty centimeters, winds and turns, vicissitudes of life, but for this miniature land, it is already a towering endless sacred tree, looking up, the clouds and mist are shrouded, and the huge winding tree body has no end in sight.

"Do you see this tree I planted, if you want to get the power of civilization, show your courage, climb the sacred tree, this is my test of you, the test of wisdom and courage..."

Xu Paper put the metal silver giant sword customized by Taobao, a match soaked in kerosene, and a transparent capsule of termite juice that had not been successful before, on the top of the tree.

"These are the three treasures of civilization. ”

"The sword of Damocles is a weapon to protect civilization, and unlike the barbarians who spread all over the earth, it is the wise species that can rely on the power of tools. ”

"The torch, burning with a scorching flame, is the bridge to maintain civilization, and mastering the fire is the origin of civilization. ”

"And the last bottle of liquid, that is the blood of strength, only the bravest warriors in the world can take it, they can't survive death, and if they survive, they will have unparalleled power!"

"If you want to change the fate of your race, just before the torch is extinguished, climb the sacred tree and get the three treasures of civilization. ”

Xu Shi gently put the young insect ape on the ground, and then, in its shock, strode on the mountains and rivers, and left directly.

"Cell division accelerated, a hundredfold!"

As soon as Xu Zhi walked out, he instantly commanded the insect nest.

The whole land, which had become normal at a normal speed, re-cell division accelerated.

In an instant, the movements of the entire land also began to be crazy and fast, constantly forming various afterimages, trees rapidly growing and withering, animals turning into afterimages, and rapidly growing old, sick and dying.

That match, he added kerosene, could burn for about thirty seconds, and then it would go out.

But for the land that has accelerated for a hundred years, these thirty seconds, which are equivalent to several days, will be extinguished.

That is to say, the test of his divine tree is many days.

"Time is relative, the embodiment of the movement of matter... Their brain nerve cells are 100 times faster, their body cells are 100 times faster, and for them it is a hundred times faster in time.

A match that can burn for a moment can also burn for days relative to them, and in their worldview, a match is not a momentary firework, but a torch that can burn for several days. ”

Xu Shi remembered that sentence:

The small knowledge is not as good as the big one, the small year is not as good as the big year, and Xi Yi knows that it is true?

What they thought was a long time was, in my eyes, just a short moment.

After Xu Shi left, he used the telescope to clearly see the picture under the sacred tree, the young insect ape, called a few partners, his face was resolute, and he quickly climbed up the sacred tree together.

In Xu Zhi's eyes, the movements of these little ants on the tree were so fast that only afterimages remained, and in just a few seconds, they fell down countless times, and then struggled to climb up, and in more than ten seconds, they had successfully climbed to the top of the sacred tree.

But for them, countless days have passed, hard failures, countless times.

They move too fast.

At the summit of the sacred tree, standing on a lush green canopy, Gilgamesh held his sword high, and seemed to say or do something, and then he disappeared into an afterimage.

Xu Zhi was curious, and couldn't help but ask the hive: "What are they talking about?" ”

The deputy brain of the hive brought up the picture just now to Xu Paper.

"Wisdom Beast, in the world, there is such a terrifying giant wisdom species! It is a super-large giant that is as high as 10,000 feet!"

Gilgamesh conquered the sacred tree, raised the sword of Damocles alof, and swung it above his head.

He looked down at the scenery of the beings under the sacred tree, his black hair was raised in the wind, the bone armor on his shoulders was black and shiny, and his resolute face was suddenly full of confidence.

"With the same wisdom, our future will be like that wisdom beast! Every clan member has the power of a great god! All have the power to make countless giant beasts escape! I must lead my clan to stand at the top and let the fire of civilization spread all over the earth. ”

This moment is recorded as eternal.

Thousands of years later, the oldest Sumerian dynasty that once existed in this land was extremely prosperous and short-lived, and people have found the Sumerian historical hymn "Genesis" written by them for the great king from archaeology.

This oldest document, the Sumerian Ancient History, records:

[The wisdom beast, ten thousand feet high, white and radiant, with a sacred face, came by smashing the earth and mountains, descended the sacred tree, set up a wisdom trial, and handed over the three treasures of civilization, the torch, the holy sword, and the blood of strength, to the young hero king, Gilgamesh. 】
