"Actually, this increase is not the final result, and you will merge again – just like you did five years ago. However, this division is often accompanied by a spiritual division, and so there are two you. That one is now in Siberia. I know what you think of each other, but as far as the results are concerned, you are already two beings. You are not him, and he is not you. Or rather, you are all descendants of the One who lived five years ago—according to human parlance. ”

"You can understand this phenomenon as what you call 'reproduction.'"

Li Zhen frowned.

If Lucifer's "origin of life" refers to the first simple cells that appeared on Earth...... It can be defined in this way. So does this mean that species without sex divide and reproduce in this way?

But is this primitive, or "advanced"?

But he still asked, "Then you shouldn't have kept that number for so long—at least you multiply it every once in a while." ”

The projection waved his hand slightly: "This is an inexplicable matter." Even we don't have a solution. Because this is a secret that we may have forgotten, and it is even related to the secret of the last day. ”

"The individuals who are 'reproduced' in this way will eventually merge. We do not increase or decrease, it is fate and instinct. ”

Li Zhen thought for a while, finally gave up, and said in a low voice, "You go on." ”

"Then we have to talk about the origin of the human race. Humans are right about evolution – they did evolve from Australopithecus. But that is not the only factor, but the work of the One. He used his power to influence the evolution of a certain group of organisms. so that they have something called wisdom. Or they were disciples of that one—just like the power I gave to that little girl wisdom. ”

You can also find evidence of this in modern scientific theories. For example, why did the first evolution of humans occur in Africa, and only in Africa? Because it is the 'blessed land' chosen by that One. ”

"But what does it do for it?" Li Zhen frowned, "Because of a boring hobby, or does it have another deep meaning?" ”

"It has to do with the secret of the last day—only it knows the secret of the Tao." The projection said in a deep voice, "So we need you." ”

Li Zhen did not speak.

So the projection continued.

"With intelligence, the first humans began to multiply. This strength allowed them to fight against natural disasters and threats from other species, and the group grew in size, eventually even having a civilization of its own. And that time. We are still walking on this earth, the era of human legend in which man and god coexisted. This is the period. ”

"However, human beings were different then than they are now. Human scholars may have unearthed a large number of bones, but if they had seen what those bones looked like when they were alive, they would not have thought of them as your ancestors. Because of their appearance—more like a hybrid of the Australopithecus and Chiyou. ”

"Wisdom. They do have wisdom. Other than that, however, they have nothing. Their bodies are actually quite fragile, even compared to current humans. This is the one who did it on purpose—because they multiply too fast. ”

"These humans have existed for almost a million years. Their number eventually went from hundreds of thousands to billions—"

Li Zhen's heart jumped slightly. Billions.

It seemed close to his previous speculation that when the number of humans reached five billion. Maybe something bad is about to happen.

In order to hide their emotions. He asked, "At that time." How do billions of humans survive? They could never have the technology that is as advanced as it is today. ”

"There we are. Don't forget, it was a time when one man and God coexisted. The projection said softly, "Actually, the role we played at that time was more similar to that of the supreme governor of the human race in one city and one place today. It's just that we have more to do – we're managers. It is also a guardian and a giver. ”

"Then it sounds like you were more acceptable back then than you are now."

The projection flickered only slightly, and continued: "Then that happened. ”

"The secret of the last day has spread." "So our people, as I do today, turned all the men under their rule into the elect." ”

"Then you should know the secret." Li Zhen looked up at it, "Otherwise, what are you doing now?" ”

"It's just an instinct left in the memory - the One who erased something from our minds with his power after that event." The projection's voice became slightly low, "If I still have the memory of that time, I would do better than I do now." ”

Li Zhen shook his head slightly. He didn't fully believe this one's claims, but he didn't try to get to the bottom of it. Because he had been deeply shocked by what Lucifer said—

If it is true, then it means thousands or even 10,000 years ago...... The number of human beings once reached a staggering billion.

And in that land at that time, billions of people were all transformed into xenomorphs by species!

What exactly is the reason?

Hearing this, he felt as if he had figured out what "the One" had chosen to create a human being, if Lucifer's words were true.

It's not so much about keeping pets or domestic animals, it's about making some kind of tool! And because of the leak of that secret, this "tool" was used privately, so-

"Then the other was angry." The projection sighed slightly, "Actually, the crisis was far from imminent at that time—the day after the end would not have happened at that time. But fear and fear caused them to lose their minds, and together they disobeyed the will of the One. ”

Li Zhen interjected: "So you have a leader—and it's the leader?" ”

"That's true. But not the kind of leader of humanity. This role has been passed down - the successors all have a stronger and more fundamental power. It has a more mysterious and ancient lineage than we do—we call it Lord. ”

The projection was slightly silent for a moment after saying this.

Li Zhen was silent for a while.

This can be regarded as a direct response to the conjecture in his mind before.

They call themselves Lord...... Is that the reason?

Although he had guessed the meaning of the word countless times, he never realized it......

The "gold content" is so high!

However, there was only a strange feeling in his heart.

If someone is sitting at home, and suddenly a bunch of people come to him and tell him that your long-lost Aunt Nangong Mary or Uncle Simon Johnny has passed away, leaving you a huge fortune, and as long as you inherit it, you can become the richest man in the world, then I think most people's reaction will be to be shocked for a moment and then turn to ecstasy.

Because this kind of thing still happens within the acceptable range of the human mind, there is always such a thing as inheritance.

The problem is, however, that Lucifer is talking about things that are just too fanciful.

Even if the world has become magical, and one legendary existence after another has been born and shown a completely different true appearance from what people know, this kind of thing is still incredible.

What's more, the authenticity of this identity is not yet known, and there may be some huge conspiracy hidden behind it.

So he grinned after a long silence and said, "Go on." ”

He tried to find some flaws to prove that the other party really meant something.

So the projection continued.

"Once you become a voter, you can no longer be an ordinary human – it's an irreversible process. So the one made a decision—"

"Destroy them. Because the elect can no longer multiply, they become completely useless. Only a few anomalous ones—electors who had shown greater potential and higher intelligence at the time—were allowed to survive. ”

"That one used his terrifying psionic powers, and the entire world was flooded. In fact, the reality is not as human legend suggests, only two people survived—there are some other places in this world where the same chosen people have been redeemed. ”

"Those people were sheltered by our kind and eventually escaped this catastrophe and became the ancestors of the present human race - you can also find some evidence of such things in the legends."

Li Zhenzhi said who it was referring to. At least there is such a figure in the legends he knows.

He thought for a moment and asked in a low voice, "So what do you mean...... Are the present human beings the descendants of the former aliens, or the elect? ”

"That's true. So the humans of today are smarter and more powerful than the original humans. And precisely because their ancestors were actually the elect who were branded in our bodies, they can now have similar abilities to us. It was a gift from us, and the only thing they got after that disaster. ”

But this disaster is not only destroying the elect, but also our people. The wrath of the One has not yet subsided, and he has destroyed a considerable number of his kind by his own strength, yet this behavior seems utterly unacceptable to us. ”

But this behavior also means that it is close to extinction. That One had been around for nearly ninety million years since its birth, a long time even for an ancient lineage. Thus the power of instinct gradually manifested itself in it—in fact, it was split before such a thing was done. ”

Li Zhen frowned slightly: "You mean breeding?" ”

"Not exactly. What you call reproduction, which is what I call derivation, is when the subject does it intentionally. Although this is quite rare, it does exist. Both of the spawned individuals are energetic and capable - just like you and the other, you are both beings with independent consciousness. (To be continued......)
