Some commentary on the setting of the worldview
This chapter focuses on the main premise of the game, the birth and evolution of abilities.
The birth of the ability is inextricably linked to an ancient crystal, the Source Crystal. The source crystal can be fused with any living being, but due to its own toxicity, most creatures will be poisoned after contact with the source crystal, and in severe cases, they will die on the spot.
Source crystals can be used to make evolutionary reagents and their derivative reagents, which have undergone certain tests, and the toxicity of source crystals is weaker than that of direct contact, and the safety of injection into the human body is also higher.
Of course, evolutionary reagents are not necessarily safe. Some people will still die of Yuanjing poisoning after being injected because the fusion with the source crystal is too poor. Those who do not have a toxic reaction after a period of injection are called "qualified persons", that is, qualified candidates who adapt to the toxicity of source crystals.
Not all Eligible Individuals have abilities immediately after receiving an Evolution Reagent injection. A large number of these people have not been able to show supernatural abilities throughout their lives, but they are much more tolerant of the source crystal than ordinary people.
Different people have different abilities due to their different resonance with the source crystal. But not the more powerful the ability, the better, and the strong source crystal resonance reaction can have devastating consequences, known as "rampage." In the Rampage state, most of the abilities will be eaten by their own abilities, or their body organs will be affected by a large number of Source Crystals and become exhausted.
The ability is an ancient gift of these ancient crystals, and a deadly curse with uncertainty.
The greater curse is immortality. Different ways of contacting the source crystal may lead to mutations in the body's cells, metabolic diseases, and immortality of the body, becoming an "immortal".
Maybe some naïve teenagers and girls will find it strange, isn't eternal life a good thing? No, after becoming an immortal, you will experience endless joys and sorrows, witness countless good and evil of human nature, watch familiar relatives and friends gradually become words in the history books, and see your hated opponents ruthlessly taken away by time, and you are indifferent. You get to know them, get to know them, and end up seeing them off, stuck in a new cycle.
In this endless cycle, you will get tired of it one day, and even more so if you are still a spiritual immortal. Endless emotions are like a torrent that wraps you, and you know at a glance the good and evil in people's hearts, and these good and evil will one day crush your spirit and give you destruction.
Yes, the immortals who are clearly destined for eternal life will also meet the Grim Reaper one day, and these eternal lives will also fall after being cut into pieces. Or they can voluntarily be wrapped in the source crystals and grow into a new cluster of crystals.
Source crystals can be transformed from immortals, and nature can also be transformed into living beings.
These creatures are more like a part of nature, turning their hands into clouds and covering their hands into rain, and with a wave of their sleeves, the clouds are clear. They have a strong sense of the same kind, almost the existence of gods, like myths and legends that circulate everywhere, but they do not enjoy the worship of mortals.
In a sense, the source crystal creatures are part of nature, their self-consciousness only serves the planet that gave birth to them, they are an inseparable part of nature itself, the embodiment of climate geography.
Everything is born from the source crystal, and everything is attributed to the source crystal.
That's the worldview of this book.
