Chapter 286: Survival
In the vast void, there are countless void layers, and each void level is like an infinitely extended 'paper', layered like a book's pages. Although the Void Fault and the Space-Time Fault are also composed of 'paper (space)', they are just fragmented 'paper (space-time)' just like a book cut into shape.
If you can look at the entire void structure, you will find that the various void planes constitute the support of the universe. Some of the various layers of the scaffolds are empty, and some have 'objects (caves, gods, other worlds, etc.)'.
The battle that slashed the heavens at the beginning not only dealt a heavy blow to the main universe, but even the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, the Kingdom of God, and the Other Worlds hidden in the voids of various layers could not escape the disaster of the fish pond. The shattered kingdoms of God, the heavens and the blessed lands, the worlds, etc., were turned into various void fragments and space-time fragments. Countless Void Fragments and Space-Time Fragments have been circulating and changing in various layers of the Void, operating endlessly, evolving all kinds of Void Faults and Space-Time Faults.
The space-time fault where the real world is located is only one of the insignificant areas. Similar existences, looking at the entire void, can be described as innumerable. But this insignificant place is enough to change the pattern of the future!
......
After Fu Yuan Dao created the first 'person', he began to create the second person.
It didn't take long for humans to appear one after another in the shade of the trees. When the divine mud was completely exhausted, the Fu Yuan Dao people also completed the manufacture of fifty pairs of men and women.
"You can be called 'people' in the future! You should be the protagonist of this world!" Fu Yuan Daoren gave them this title thoroughly, and set the tone of the general trend in the future, and then said, "I will hand over this world to you and others today, and you should do your best to maintain the peace of the world in the future!"
After imparting basic knowledge to these people, the Fu Yuan Dao people left this plateau, leaving this place for these humans to use as their habitat to thrive here.
Although the human race is allowed to develop on its own, the Fu Yuan Dao people are not far away from the human settlement, but in the mountains next to the plateau, they have found a valley as a place to retreat, while sorting out the cultural culture that needs to be spread in the future, while secretly observing these human beings from their own hands.
In the beginning, with the existence of the Father, these humans could still be safe, but when the Fu Yuan Dao people left, these humans who had just been born panicked.
Looking at the departing figure of Fu Yuan Daoren, they stood in place at a loss, not knowing how to act. The climate on the plateau becomes cold at night. These human beings who only have the blood of gods do not have the powerful system of the gods and human races, and the cold temperature of the night makes them feel very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the Fu Yuan Dao people gave them some basic knowledge, so that they could survive smoothly. Through the inheritance of memory, these humans collected vines and leaves and woven them into crude clothing to withstand the cold nights of the plateau.
Once you have warm clothing, the first thing you need to do is to fight your hunger.
These humans do not have any advantages other than their far stronger physique and longer lifespan than later generations. Unlike the gods and men who can survive by directly absorbing all kinds of vitality, the human beings created by the Fu Yuan Dao people can only absorb nutrients from food, otherwise they will starve to death.
On this plateau, the Fu Yuan Dao people used to create a lot of species, in addition to the five insects of Zhou Tian, there are also many plant species. Most of it is sown all over the world, but a small number is planted on this plateau.
Unlike ordinary plateaus, the climate on the plateaus is no different from the lower plains in all respects, except for the colder nights. Not to mention that under the heights, there is also the largest spiritual vein in this world passing through, and the entire plateau can be said to be the most abundant spiritual energy area in this heaven and earth.
With such unique conditions, the plateau is extremely rich in various products. With these abundant products, these humans successfully solved the problem of food and finally stumbled and survived.
However, the Fu Yuan Dao people left the rich plateau to the human race, but they also laid the root of the curse for them.
In the early days of creation, most of the plateau was a variety of plants, except for some animals that were not very powerful, and they were not too dangerous. However, with the development of nature, the abundance of materials on the plateau, and the abundance of spiritual energy in the plants here, it attracts plant-eating animals from other places to migrate over, and the migration of plant-eating animals will also attract carnivores.
Under the natural development, after hundreds of years, there are more and more animals, and after a cruel fight, the ecological balance of the entire plateau has been maintained. And those who migrated from other places, in addition to those that were re-relocated and eliminated, the remaining animals began to multiply here.
These breeding animals have brought all kinds of dangers to the human beings living here!
......
Unlike the thousand-year-old adult of the god and human race, the human beings created by the Fu Yuan Dao people have a much shorter lifespan. When these people reach adulthood at the age of twenty, they can have children in pairs, and these humans can have several children in their lifetimes. After hundreds of years of development, it has multiplied and multiplied, and it has produced more than 100,000 people.
However, in recent years, the rate of human population growth has begun to slow down. In addition to external environmental factors, it is also related to longevity.
The first generation of humans consisted of the first fifty pairs of men and women, and most of them were still alive, except for a few who died in accidents. With a thousand-year lifespan, they are blessed.
However, the second generation of human beings they bred had a lifespan of only 900 years, followed by the third generation of 800 years and the fourth generation of 700 years...... And so on, each generation of human beings will reduce their lifespan by 100 years, and it will not end until the tenth generation, when the human lifespan will be reduced to 100 years old.
But this is not the worst outcome, the most devastating fact is that as they reproduce and iterate, human physical fitness is also declining. Compared with the first generation of human beings, the human beings after ten generations can be said to be weak, and on this dangerous plateau, those human beings after ten generations cannot survive at all. But correspondingly, ten generations later, the fertility of human beings has been greatly enhanced.
Five generations ago, the limit was to have seven or eight children in a lifetime. Ten generations later, human beings, as long as the body can bear it, conditions permit, from the age of 20 to adulthood, can be born until the age of 60, a lifetime can give birth to as many as 40 children (this is the theoretical extreme, except for a very few people can do it, most people can't do it).
Although fertility is extremely strong, no matter how strong the fertility is, it cannot guarantee that human beings can survive on the plateau after ten generations.
Under the pressure of survival, these people had to gradually retreat to the edge of the plateau, until they left the plateau completely and went to the rest of the world to survive.
Leaving the aura-filled plateau, those humans who traveled to various parts of the world could no longer maintain a long lifespan. Ten generations later, the theoretical lifespan of human beings is as high as 100 years, but these humans will no longer be able to live to that age.
Compared with the stable environment of the Creation Plateau, after leaving the plateau rich in materials and spiritual energy, these people encountered all kinds of hardships during their migration: hunger, disease, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, droughts, severe cold, and all kinds of wild beasts and poisonous insects, and they never left them.
Even when they find a suitable place to settle, food sources still bother them. Compared with the Creation Plateau, which is nourished by the aura and is extremely rich in food, the food output in nature is far from comparable to that of the Genesis Plateau due to the uneven distribution of the aura throughout the earth. The fruits of plants that once ripened once a month have become half a year or once a year outside the plateau, and the yield has also decreased, and hunger has always been with them.
Without the nourishment of the aura, they are no longer free from all diseases. Along with hunger, disease has always plagued mankind.
However, these did not bring them down. Since they do not have enough to eat, they rely on their hands to solve their hunger, and when they have injuries and diseases, they rely on experience and wisdom to solve their injuries and diseases...... Grow food to quench hunger, build houses to ward off wild beasts, and gather herbs to heal wounds......
These human beings who have left their comfort zone, relying on their hands and wisdom, are struggling to survive in countless hardships and hardships!
Fu Yuan Dao people watched these human beings cut through the thorns and thorns on the earth, just to seek a place to survive. All kinds of joys and sorrows are seen in his eyes!
Seeing that they had gone through all the pain and sorrow, but still did not give up the belief in survival, Fu Yuan Dao people couldn't help but be moved.
"This is a human being!"
