Chapter 1240: The Place of Birth

The place of birth, also known as the "place of incubation", is the root of the birth of life in the entire spiritual world.

If, according to Byron's description, the world is a huge annular belt formed around the material universe, then the place of birth is located in the four equal nodes of the entire ring.

That's right!

It's not the only one, but it's scattered in four different places.

However, one of them has been captured by Byron a long, long time ago, and has undergone a series of transformations.

Now, it is very different from the other three birthplaces that are still in their original ecological environment.

Looking at the huge pond in front of him with no end in sight, and the things in the pond that are constantly decomposing and aggregating, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but sigh slightly, and asked Byron, who was standing beside him: "You cut it off from this world, right?"

"Oh, you can feel it?" said the latter, with a hint of surprise in his tone.

You must know that in order to ensure that this birthplace will not completely collapse, he used some shady means.

In particular, through deception, the entire spiritual world mistakenly believes that this birthplace is still functioning normally, and normally outsiders will not be able to detect the subtle changes in the deepest part of the pool.

"Of course!" Zhang Cheng nodded thoughtlessly. "You have replaced the will of the world with your own will, but you have been very careful not to disrupt the fragile balance and circulation. If I'm not mistaken, the life you created can't actually be regarded as the original life of the spiritual world, let alone be fully accepted and recognized by this world. The reason why they were not considered invaders was entirely due to the huge pond itself. ”

"You guessed it! at least most of it. I'm sure you have also seen that the life of the spiritual world comes from the aggregation of spiritual power, and when a large amount of spiritual power dissipated in the environment is absorbed, it will reappear from the four huge pools of water. They carry the residual consciousness of the previous owner, and here they constantly collide, meet, and merge, and finally produce new lives one by one. When these ignorant new beings come out of the pool, they will carry out several rounds of brutal fighting and elimination. In the end, the victor is qualified to enter the wider world outside. Byron explained, pointing to the vast expanse of new life in front of him that was killing and devouring each other like madmen.

As he said, these newborn beings are clearly marked with intense instability, and there are not many intelligent traits to be seen.

But as the killing and devouring increases, the madness in some of the eyes will gradually fade, replaced by fear and hesitation.

Soon, these beings who have gained rudimentary wisdom will quickly break away from the purgatory-like battlefield and flee in all directions.

Because they have no memory, they are like newborn babies, they need to go through a period of observation and learning before they can truly know themselves and the world.

However, the vast majority of them will die in the nascent stage, and only a few are eligible to survive and become stronger and stronger with their wisdom.

"Interesting, do you want to set off a species competition and let your creations completely replace the primitive life in the spirit world?" Zhang Cheng pursed the corners of his mouth and said tentatively.

According to his understanding of the environment and life, in a relatively closed world, a new species will inevitably compete fiercely with the original species, and even threaten the survival of the latter.

Although this kind of competition may last for a very, very long time, or even form a virtuous circle of common progress and common development for a period of time, the final result will inevitably be that one side will eliminate the other.

It is foreseeable that as the number of intelligent life forms continues to increase, sooner or later they will one day break the monopoly of the overlord in absolute power, and even conquer the other three birthplaces, replacing those primitive life like beasts with overwhelming replacement.

"Hahahaha! You're surprising me more and more! You know, you're the first guy in all these years to be able to have a conversation with me and understand my thoughts and ideas. That's right, I'm going to change the spiritual world and make my mark here. Byron grinned maniacally.

In the laughter, you can vaguely feel the anger that has accumulated in his heart.

After all, as the first born master of the material universe, arrogance and conceit have penetrated deep into his soul.

He couldn't stand the fact that he wasn't trapped in this world, so he wanted to get revenge in this way.

That's right!

He is taking revenge on the entire spiritual world, and the lives that live in it.

Destruction and death!

It's what he wants to bring to the world.

If it were someone else, you might shudder and be frightened when you hear this, and you might even see it as a disaster that must be beaten.

But Zhang Cheng, who was also dark and evil in his heart, didn't care about this at all, but smiled and praised: "Leaving your own mark? I very much look forward to the day when your creation will replace the primitive life of the spiritual world. When the time comes, an interesting civilization will emerge from the ground, and they will give rise to all kinds of ideas, knowledge, and technologies. ”

"I'm glad to finally have someone like you show up. Come, let's go to the other three birthplaces, to appreciate those rough primordial beings, and the mystery of the birth of the overlord. As he spoke, Byron raised his hand and summoned a huge flying creature that wandered in the sky.

In the spiritual world, although ultra-long-distance teleportation is not impossible, the spiritual power that can be consumed is too amazing, and no one will joke with their lives in order to save a little time.

"The mystery of the birth of the overlord?" Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He never dreamed that the other party would actually take out this secret related to the entire spiritual world and share it with himself.

"Hehe, don't be so surprised. Trust me, with your cleverness, you'll find out the secret sooner or later, and all I'm doing is time a little earlier. What's more, does time still have meaning in this world?"

As the last word blurted out, Byron directly pulled Zhang Cheng up and jumped on the back of the flying creature, and then headed towards the next place of birth at a very fast speed.

After all, the spiritual world is a huge ring around the periphery of the material universe, and its enormity is simply not something that anyone can estimate by imagination.

Even with the creature's very peculiar way of flying, it would take very, very long to reach the next place of birth.

No one except Byron knows whether this process is a hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years, or millions or even hundreds of millions of years of earth time......
