Chapter 15: Prehistoric Solitude

"They...... It's dead! ”

Balhis could see at a glance the state of the five demons, these five bloodlines that have continued since the Precambrian period, and have terrifying abilities beyond humans, are dead......

There were no external injuries, not even any kind of attack, but they were just dead, motionless, as if they had never been alive.

"No ......" Origin fell into great grief, stumbling next to the corpses of the six demons on the runway, he turned his head and glared at Shi Tao: "I can't imagine that I can't fight you in the end, why don't you just kill me together......"

"I won't kill you......" Shi Tao shook his head: "The world has been made like this by you, and you still need your strength to reinvent it." ”

Yuan Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then thought that because of the power of distorting reality just now, the world has now changed back to the same way as it was 600 million years ago to a certain extent, and even his kindred have recovered a lot...... If he dies now, Shi Tao will not be able to return to the sky!

Thinking of this, he suddenly activated his ability and tried to blow himself up!

However, as soon as the vortex of supernatural energy in his body turned around, he was overwhelmed and extinguished by an invisible force......

"In front of me, you still want to die?"

Hearing Shi Tao's words, the origin was completely desperate, but he still retained the last trace of stubbornness: "Even if I can't die, I will never help you restore the world to its original state!" ”

"The world is nothing the same!" Shi Tao shook his head: "The current world and civilization have been built by me little by little, and it is really a pity that they are all destroyed...... But if I have to tear it down and start over, 500 million years, I can afford to wait! ”

"Why ......" Yuan Yuan knelt on the ground, raised his head and looked at Shi Tao with resentful eyes: "Why don't you hesitate to spend your energy again to resurrect humans?" Why are you so partial to this race and so cruel to us! Is it true that you have taught us to destroy us!! ”

Hearing this question, Shi Tao slowly closed his eyes.

"Actually, you are not the first civilization I have experienced......

"In the distant past...... At that time, the planet was still a piece of lava, the air was scorching and smelly, the sun was dazzling, and the sun rose and set much faster than it does now, probably only a few hours by today's standards......"

"Later, slowly, the lava began to cool, forming a rocky surface, the temperature began to drop, the world began to cool, and the whole planet became a large bare stone ball...... After a while, it began to rain day and night, and slowly, puddles of water accumulated in the low terrain, and then the puddles grew larger and larger, even larger than the land area, and the salt that melted into the surface of the rock became salty...... Oh, now, you call it the ocean......"

"For a long time, the planet has been in such a state of lifelessness...... But later, I suddenly discovered that in the middle of the sea, there were some tiny, cute things that could move on their own without external force! ”

Speaking of this, Shi Tao's face showed a look of nostalgia: "It's the first time I've seen this kind of thing, unlike rocks that don't move for thousands of years, and I don't want the sea water to need the wind to blow before it makes waves...... Not only do they move on their own, but they also devour each other...... It's cute like that......"

"At first, I just used them as an spice in my boring life...... But then I noticed a surprising phenomenon. These little things, as time goes by, as they multiply from generation to generation, they get bigger and bigger, and their form changes, becoming more and more ...... Complexity, to use the word you have invented now, is evolution...... The speed visible to the naked eye is evolving! ”

You are the only one who can use the word "visible to the naked eye" to describe the evolution of living things...... Everyone present complained in their hearts.

After that, I don't know how many days and nights passed...... On this planet, the earliest and most complex creatures have appeared......" said, Shi Tao gestured with his hand: "It's about this long, constantly cruising in the water, very flexible, and very smart...... At least it's smart enough for the rigid creatures. And they're long enough to at least, so they won't die before I can't react......"

"And what surprised me the most was that these little guys actually have relatively complex brains, and after training, they can even respond to my instructions to a certain extent, and even remember me as an being...... To use the analogy of today's creatures, their intelligence is better than that of fish. It may seem silly to you, but at the time, for the first time, I had a sense of communion with other beings! ”

"But it's a pity that it didn't take long for the world to change......" Shi Tao's expression became lonely: "At that time, the earth was not completely stable, and the climate changed suddenly, so that all the complex creatures in this world died, including these cute little things...... I tried to stop this catastrophe from happening, but unfortunately, I was still very young at the time, and the situation was worsened by excessive manipulation, and the lava reappeared, burning the world away, and all but the most primitive single-celled organisms were extinct, and not a trace remained...... I can't estimate the exact time of this extinction, but it's a conservative estimate that it was at least 30 or 4 billion years ago...... I call this the First Age. ”

"People...... Or rather, sentient beings with feelings are like that. If you don't have it, you don't have any special feelings......" Shi Tao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But once you get used to the existence of something, you can't bear its disappearance, and you will be afraid of something that will come with it after it disappears......"

Saying that, Shi Tao looked at the origin, and then at the powerhouses of the human race: "You have always thought that I am fearless, right?" But alas, I let you down. I also have fear, and what I fear is loneliness......"

"I'm a little intolerable to this lifeless world, so when I see that there are still some small things that have survived, I am very happy, and then I am full of anticipation, waiting for them to re-evolve into those First Age creatures that once accompanied me......"

"But unfortunately, in the end, they evolved into completely different things...... Shi Tao smiled self-deprecatingly: "At that time, I didn't know that the evolution of the original creature was full of immediacy and surprises. This time, the Earth's environment was much more stable, and there was no more cataclysm like that, and I watched as these little things continued to evolve, quickly filling up the oceans and even climbing onto land...... And among them, there are also creatures that are not inferior to the First Age, and even more intelligent, and can communicate simply. ”
