703. Colorful Onishiba
The real name of the six-colored Lingzhi in front of him is the Seven-Colored Ghost Zhi, although the soul body of the silver dragon did not tell Ye Ziyun the details of the Seven-Colored Ghost Zhi, but none of this mattered. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAs long as you know the name of the thing in front of you, Ye Ziyun can get the answer you want from the system. Moreover, because you don't need the system to spend time screening, you basically don't even need to wait for time to be able to get an answer.
Of course, there is a charge for asking questions.
After Ye Ziyun left the dragon soul, he immediately asked System Jun about the Colorful Ghost Zhi. System Jungen simply deducted Ye Ziyun's achievement points of up to 9998 points, and then instilled a lot of information into him. And after getting the answer from the system-kun, Ye Ziyun fell silent again.
Last time Ye Ziyun's question, the system only charged 998 achievement points when he answered. This time, I overcharged 9,000 points at once, and the answer given was naturally value for money. If it is said that Ye Ziyun asked why he couldn't live in this world in the form of a spirit before, and the answer of the system was the result of the second mass extinction of life in this world. Then this time, what appeared in front of Yeziyun's eyes was almost the entire second era of time torrent!
This world has gone through a total of four epochs since it began to live. Each epoch begins with the explosion of life and ends with a mass extinction. And the time that has elapsed in no epoch is all measured in billions of years. And in front of this unit, the least is in double digits! Now Ye Ziyun wants to use the identity of a bystander to watch that period of history, which is almost equivalent to the entire Second Age, and naturally has to block out some of his external senses.
Colorful ghost mushroom. Fungal kingdom, phylum Fungi, subphylum basidiomycetes. Stratomycetes, subclass Basidiomycetes, Polypore, Polyporaceae, a fungus of the genus Occidendrum. In the narration description of the system Jun, in terms of taxonomy, there is no difference between the previous realms, phylums, classes, orders, and branches and the Ganoderma lucidum that Ye Ziyun knows. It's just that Ghost Zhi is a genus, but Yeziyun doesn't know it. According to the explanation of the system. This is a species that is unique to this world.
The origin of the Colorful Ghost Mushroom can be traced back to the early stage of the Second Great Explosion of Life, when the heavens and the earth were filled with rich elemental energy because they had just experienced the first mass extinction.
When the narrator speaks of this, he does not say what exactly was exterminated by the first mass extinction. But judging from the sentence "Heaven and earth are filled with rich elemental energy". It's obvious. The mass extinction at the end of the First Age was the elemental life.
Heaven and earth are filled with elemental energy, and naturally, the creatures that appear in the second explosion of life are the kind of beings that can use elemental energy. After all, the resources are here, and only this kind of resources that fill the entire heaven and earth can support a great explosion of life.
And the Colorful Ghost Mushroom evolved in such an environment. Fungi are a relatively primitive form of life. After adapting to the environment, due to its short life cycle. The speed of replacement is very fast. In other words, the speed of mutation and evolution is very fast. The shortening of the evolutionary cycle has also created a large number of mutated varieties of fungi in a short period of time. Other species have not yet had time to figure out how to use the elemental energy of heaven and earth, but fungi have evolved many species.
But in this explosion of life, fungi are not alone. In other words, in terms of the efficiency of the use of elemental energy, fungi are far inferior to another being, the spirit race. The life forms of fungi are so primitive that it is difficult for them to evolve self-awareness. Without self-awareness, the use of energy can only rely on instinct. In this way, compared to the spirits who have self-awareness and can also have direct contact with elemental energy, the path of evolution of fungi is less satisfactory.
Slowly, as the spirits became more and more powerful, individuals appeared among them who actively plundered the resources of other species. This makes the evolution speed of the spirit race grow dramatically, while the evolution speed of fungi is still so unpopular.
However, in the end, it was an era of brutal competition for survival and rapid evolutionary development. No matter how slow the evolution of fungi is, it is far ahead of the rest of the races.
So one day, a mutated fungus appeared in the world. This fungus is the direct ancestor of the Colorful Onizhi - Soul Zhi.
The appearance of Soul Zhi is no different from that of ordinary Zizhi, and if I have to say it, it is probably that the color is more shiny. Well... Zizhi here does not refer to the medicinal fungus called fairy grass by Taoism, but the collective name of all the purple colors of Zhizhi grass in this world at that time. Moreover, Soul Zhi is generally mixed with Zizhi, and the number is also small. For a long time, it simply did not attract the attention of other races. In fact, it is also the case, Ganoderma lucidum fungi generally grow in those horns, and they are not noticeable at all.
However, everything changed when many years later, when an injured spirit clan rested on the edge of a purple mushroom-covered cliff.
At that time, the spirit clan was injured because of a fight with the spirit clan in another region for the snatching of a mate, but after recovering from its injuries, it challenged again and won the final victory. After the victory, the spirit clan took his spouse to the edge of the cliff again, and told how he had endured the humiliation. The moonlight was beautiful, and the entire cliff was covered in the bright moonlight. Such a sight is rare in the world, so the two spirits decided to give their first offspring a name that would commemorate this beauty.
It's just that when the offspring of the spirit clan was born, there was a problem with his body. Because those two spirit clans were individuals who had cultivated the energy of the fire element, it stands to reason that even if their descendants did not have such a high talent, at least they would not be far behind.
However, contrary to expectations, the strength of their offspring has been slow. Although compared to other races, that kind of entry can definitely be regarded as anti-heaven, but for the spirit race. That's absolute waste.
Seeing that his children were so much worse than other people's families, and he was born in that kind of world, the two spirit clans who were his parents were naturally anxious. At last. They took their children to find the most prestigious and knowledgeable elder of the Spirit Clan, and after some examination, the results of the examination directly shocked the entire Spirit Clan.
That kid... Isn't it a pure spirit?! How is this possible? You know, at that time, there was not a single existence that could achieve interracial marriage. In other words, before this happened, there was no such thing as a true hybrid!
Hybrid? Are you kidding! The spirit race that exists in the world as a living body in the form of a soul body has no bloodline at all! And this. It is also the reason why the Spirit Race can far surpass other races in strength. Without the ties of the body and bloodline, the spirit clan can completely choose their favorite elemental attributes to cultivate. It's just that because of family and other relationships. It's just a matter of giving preference to the method of practice.
But no matter how ridiculous the Elves thought it was, the facts were the facts. It has happened, and it has happened to the Eldars who have begun to move towards domination!
The two spirit children didn't survive in the end. It's not that the Spirit Clan can't tolerate it. What will it do. It's that the child is getting weaker and weaker day by day, and eventually disappears. However, the strange thing is that the spirit race, which was not supposed to leave the corpse, left a few specimens of dust after death......
These spores did not attract the attention of the rest of the spirits, and eventually, these spores landed under a mountain cliff in the wind. A few years later, several Ganoderma lucidum trees grew under the cliff. It's just that these Lingzhi don't look the same as Soul Zhi. Because in addition to a stalk that looks similar to that of Zizhi, there is also a branch on the stalk. There's an extra fiery red cap on it......
The current Colorful Ghost Zhi is the evolution of these strange Soul Zhi. It's just that their growth mechanism is very different from that of their ancestors.
The first thing that grows out of the colorful ghost mushroom is a crimson mushroom cap that can absorb and utilize the energy of fire attribute elements, then a black mushroom cap that can absorb and use the energy of water attribute elements, and then a cyan mushroom cap that can absorb and use the energy of wood attribute elements...... It wasn't until the sixth piece that a purple cap that could absorb and use soul energy grow.
It takes a long time to grow, and it takes ten years for a one-color cap to grow. The appearance of the purple cap also means that the colorful ghost mushroom has matured and can be reproduced. In other words, it takes sixty years for the Colorful Onizhi to grow all the way to the point where it can reproduce.
When the purple mushroom cap is fully grown, the Colorful Onizhi will spit out some soul energy that can be absorbed by the soul body on the night of the full moon. This ability was actually developed during the Great Explosion of Life in the Third Age, when the situation was very similar to that of the Second Great Explosion of Life, and the heavens and the earth were full of soul energy. Because a large amount of soul energy between heaven and earth can be absorbed, the evolved Colorful Ghost Zhi has abandoned the kind of reproduction strategy that requires the life of the soul body. In fact, there were no soul bodies in this heaven and earth at that time. As a result, Colorful Ghost Zhi abandoned the strategy that was no longer useful, and instead let those spirits who were destined to survive for no more than seven days willingly help him.
As a result, the Colorful Ghost Zhi developed the ability to stabilize the soul body, and then developed the soul energy that could not be used by the soul body in heaven and earth into soul energy that could be used by the soul body. With the help of the Colorful Ghost Mushroom, the soul body can last up to seven days to the maximum. And as a price, the soul body needs to help the Colorful Ghost Zhi inlay its own bloodline, or genes, into other species!
This kind of thing seems to be of no benefit, but many souls are willing to do it. After all, under the intervention of the laws of the world, the soul body that can survive does not immediately disappear and return to the primordial soul energy, but can survive, there is no weak person at all. And when all the top powerhouses in a race are killed in battle, it means that the race is on the verge of extinction.
This kind of thing happens every day, and there may be some lucky races that can turn the tide at a critical moment, but these are definitely occasional cases that cannot be replicated. What's more, but a race has been directly eliminated from the stage of survival.
At such times, the continuation of the bloodline is particularly important. At the moment of survival of the race, it is no longer the time to care about whether it is pure-blooded or not, and the most important thing is to keep the bloodline of the race. Therefore, it is not a matter at all to vacate a few gene positions in the inheritance of the bloodline for the colorful ghost mushroom or something!
And what really impressed those races was also because the offspring individuals who occupied some genetic positions by the Colorful Ghost Zhi were really able to turn the tide many times!
After nearly 10 billion years of evolution, Colorful Ghost Zhi has developed to a bottleneck. They are able to absorb the energy of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, as well as soul energy. But it's not so easy to go further. The energy of the five elements formed a balance, coupled with the nourishment of soul energy, so that the species of Colorful Ghost Zhi could survive for so long.
However, the life forms of fungi are simply too primitive. As a price for being able to quickly embrace the new environment, they have their own shortcomings. The energy of the five elements plus the soul energy is already the maximum limit that can exist in the body of a life form like a fungus. If you want to break through this limit, you can only find a way to find a way from other species. And the colorful ghost mushroom is working in this direction.
When they give energy to those soul bodies, they also gain an attribute from those soul bodies. And this attribute also restricts the attributes of the spirits who come here later and get the help of the Colorful Ghost Mushroom. That is to say, when a spirit is the first to absorb the soul energy released by the Colorful Ghost Mushroom, the next spirit that can absorb those soul energies is the only one with the same attribute as the first spirit.
When the Colorful Onizhi releases its soul energy, it will grow a seventh cap. And this mushroom cap, what he can absorb and utilize, is the attribute energy of the spirit that has been relieved by the colorful ghost mushroom.
This newly grown cap will only last for seven hours, and it has only one purpose - to release spores. These spores will eventually seek out a corpse of the same race as the first spirit to receive relief, and obtain some of the genes from the corpse. Then, the genes of the colorful ghost mushroom and the genes of the corpse of a certain species are mixed to find the mother who gave birth to him.
After this set of procedures, the Colorful Ghost Zhi and the race of the first spirit to receive relief will be continued. Though... It is in the form of a half-breed...... (To be continued.) )
