preface
In the ancient Stone Age, or earlier, an ape ancestor got lost when he accidentally got separated from a large army while on a hunting trip.
Targeted by a ferocious beast, the beast began to hunt the poor lonely, and the ape ancestor began to flee.
Perhaps on this difficult journey of sacrificing his life, there were no trees for him to climb on, and no water to swim across, and when he was exhausted, he accidentally tripped and fell to the ground, and the beast that had been chasing showed its victorious fangs, slowly approached, jumped up, and flew towards the ape ancestor, who in despair, the survival instinct jumped out, and the life-and-death moment in order to seek the potential of his life made him scratch the ground in search of something that could bring him even a loss of hope, anything!
As the beast pounced on his throat, he also lifted a large stone and pushed it forward........ The stone made a deep intimate contact with the beast's head........ With a bang, the beast pressed down on the ape ancestor...... The ape ancestor, who had waited for a long time and found that he was still breathing, opened his eyes and found that he had not been eaten by the beast, but had already died on his body.
He was lucky enough to only be scratched by the sharp claws of the beast on the shoulder or arm, and the intense pain and the emotions of the rest of his life filled his brain, although his brain was blank, but he still couldn't help but replay the situation of life and death before.
When the rest was almost over, the ape ancestor picked up the stone just now, and thought fixedly: how shocking it is to add a stone to kill the beast that can only run away with its head when the tribe usually encounters it!
This should be a sacred object! It should be brought back to the tribe and worshipped! Then the ape ancestor carried the stone in his arms and dragged the carcass of the beast to his tribe.
Since then, the use of tools has begun, and in the subsequent historical process, human beings have vividly demonstrated the use of tools: human beings can fly higher than birds, can run faster than cheetahs, and can swim deeper than fish.
One human can feed five people with tools, one human can do the work of ten people, one human can influence the cognition of a hundred people, one human can change the fate of a thousand people, and one human can easily destroy 10,000 families........ So in that vast universe, is there a planet like ours that can give birth to life, and their ancestors may not only choose to borrow tools to improve their own civilization, but also adapt to the gifts brought by that planet by improving their physique and spirit, and multiply.
There, a human might be able to lift an elephant with one hand without using tools, outpace a cheetah without tools, stay in deep water for an hour without tools, and fly through the air without tools........ There, human beings are no longer just the only masters, and all living beings have left their mark and legacy in that magical world in their own way.
And in such a world, how is the trajectory of life continued, and how is the monument of civilization passed on, in a world of swords and magic..... All people can see is the past, and what you see in the next second is nothing more than an image of the previous second.
At night, when you look up at the starry sky, you see not the bright stars in the sky, but the history of the universe.
When you are tired from working in the city, when you are alone in drinking, when you feel lost in life, you can try to look up at the night sky, in the stars that can be seen at night, the one that blinks at you a few more times, maybe there is such a world.
Maybe it wants to show you the traces of their existence, maybe it wants you to see if there are familiar figures in those histories who live differently in that world...
