Chapter 612 The True Human Race [Part Two]

Hu Qi stood still, looking to one side.

The layers of tree canopies and the limitations of distance were meaningless to him, and could not block his view at all.

The scene in the distance can be seen clearly.

A young man and a young woman were approaching.

The two were very fast.

With each leisurely stroll, one can easily traverse a distance of several dozen feet.

The two men were very tall, over three meters.

His appearance was exceptionally handsome, every feature seemingly sculpted by heaven and earth, perfect and without any flaws.

Furthermore, mysterious patterns naturally flow across their skin.

It was not an artificial decoration, but something that came into being.

These are innate Dao patterns representing the laws of heaven and earth.

"Such a creature actually exists?"

A strange light flickered in Hu Qi's eyes.

Under his gaze, the two people's body structures became clearly visible to him.

It became translucent, revealing its skin, flesh, bones, meridians, and cells to him.

With his extensive experience traveling through countless worlds, he has naturally seen many different kinds of life forms.

Besides basic carbon-based life forms, there are also silicon-based life forms, boron-based life forms, plasma life forms, and so on.

However, in any case, some of these life forms may have a stronger starting point than carbon-based life forms.

However, when it comes to potential and growth capacity, carbon-based life forms undoubtedly have the highest potential.

Generally speaking, the human life forms he encountered were essentially carbon-based life forms.

But the two people in front of me are different.

Although its body is mainly carbon-based, it more or less incorporates the characteristics of various life forms.

The strangeness of it all is like the coexistence of fire and water.

Water is essential for carbon-based life.

However, it is lethal to other non-carbon-based life forms.

Therefore, water is also known as a universal solvent.

For example, many silicon compounds will hydrolyze, decompose, or form silicic acid when they come into contact with water, and borane compounds will react violently with water, even exploding.

Therefore, it is impossible for them to coexist in a single living organism under normal circumstances.

Because its structure can be instantly destroyed by another environment in one environment.

However, this is a world of the extraordinary, where anything is possible.

However, there is one more thing.

Human genes are all double helix structures, serving as carriers of genetic information. They store and replicate information through base pairing.

Its stability and reproducibility are the foundation of life.

But the two people in front of me are different.

Both of them have a total of five helical structures in their genes.

This can be seen as a near-indestructible, almost immortal true god's genome.

This also means that DNA is like a super cable made up of many twisted ropes.

In this situation, damage to one or two strands is not enough to shake the overall structure, and the cells have ample time and backup to perform perfect repair.

The probability of gene mutation, the core culprit behind aging and various diseases, will be reduced to an extremely low level.

Furthermore, the spirit within its body is also somewhat different.

If we really consider the life forms of these two individuals, they could easily rank among the top three of all the life forms Hu Qi has ever seen.

To ordinary humans, they are as perfect as gods.

Hu Qi knew a lot of information, but in reality, it only took a moment for him to analyze all the data of the two people's bodies.

……

At the same time.

The two of them also arrived here.

The girl in the lead glanced at Hu Qi, who was half a head shorter than her, and then her gaze fell on the dark red bloodstain at his feet.

A familiar scent lingered in the bloodstains, causing her to pause in surprise, followed by a look of anger on her face.

"You...how dare you kill my little Xuezi!"

The 'Little Snow Seed' she mentioned was clearly the white weasel that attacked Hu Qi but was casually crushed to death by him.

"Who are you, and why did you kill my young lady's pet?!"

side.

The man stepped forward and asked.

Although his tone was calm, his gaze held a hint of scrutiny.

However, Hu Qi had no intention of saying more to the two.

They were merely two beings who had not yet reached the realm of true gods.

The moment their eyes met, the two fell into a complete slumber, their thoughts frozen and unable to flow.

He didn't need to use his soul-searching skills at all.

Just a fleeting moment when our eyes met.

He then read all of their memories.

"Human race?"

Hu Qi's eyes flickered.

From their memories.

He also learned their identities.

It's not some kind of strange beast.

It is the human race.

Over this period of time, coupled with the memory search of everyone in Lingyu Mountain.

Hu Qi is no stranger to this.

According to the records in the Mountain and Sea Boundary.

The human race in the core area is the progenitor of all humanity in all the heavens and myriad worlds, and the origin of humankind.

In terms of appearance alone, there is not much difference between humans and ordinary humans.

The only difference is that the real humans here are all over three meters tall, and their physique and appearance seem to have been specially sculpted.

The man was exceptionally handsome, and the woman was as beautiful as a flower.

However, Hu Qi knew that this was only on the surface.

In reality, the humans in the core area are fundamentally different from those humans outside.

Not to mention anything else.

The most important point is...

The reason why humans have been able to occupy a dominant position in various worlds to varying degrees is that...

Human beings are the spirits of heaven and earth.

Humans are born with three souls and seven spirits, which is incomparable to other living beings.

The three souls are respectively.

The Heavenly Soul – Fetal Light: It governs life and Yang energy, communicates with Heaven, and determines lifespan and health.

Earth Soul - Shuangling: It governs wisdom and talent, and is connected to the earth, determining comprehension and fortune.

The human soul—the spirit: governs the self and desires, is the core of individual existence, and determines personality and instincts.

And the seven souls.

Corpse Dog: Alertness, Intuition.

Fushi: memory, thinking.

Sparrow's Yin: The instinct for reproduction and propagation.

Swallowing thieves: Immunity and expelling evil.

Non-toxic: Detoxifies and disperses nodules.

Cleansing: Purifying and removing impurities.

Odorless lungs: respiration, energy circulation.

These are advantages that other living beings do not have.

However, the humans in the core area are different.

Compared to ordinary humans.

Their souls are more perfect.

Because it possesses five souls and twelve spirits.

Simply put, the difference between the two can be summarized as follows: three souls and seven spirits is the standard version, while five souls and twelve spirits is the supreme or complete version.

Even without cultivation, a true human's lifespan exceeds ten thousand years.

This is recorded in the information about Lingyu Mountain.

[They all lived to be over a hundred years old and their abilities remained undiminished.]

The term "hundred years old" here does not refer to a hundred years, but rather to 129,600 years old.

Humans are born with powerful physiques, comparable to ordinary spirit-level beings. With a little cultivation, they can become apostle-level beings, or even attain the Dao and become true gods.

It is a truly powerful life form.

They are far beyond the reach of ordinary, fragile humans in other worlds.

"interesting……"

A strange light flashed in Hu Qi's eyes.

In the heart of the land.

The races are incredibly diverse, with humans, beasts, demons, gods, and many other races living together.

But what Hu Qi was concerned about was something else entirely.

The five Celestial Venerables of the Mountain and Sea Realm are renowned throughout the universe, among whom the Celestial Venerable of Evolution is revered as the progenitor of the human race.

However, after the battle that shattered the ancient mountain and sea realm, the Celestial Venerable of Evolution completely disappeared and never manifested in the world again.

Rumors circulated that the being suffered severe injuries in that catastrophe, and might even have perished, still slowly recovering in silence. The most direct way for Hu Qi to glimpse the secrets of the True Spirit was to personally sense the traces left behind by a True Spirit-level being.

Among the five Heavenly Venerables, he first excluded Hongyuan and Jinling.

These two are still active within the Mountain and Sea Realm. Making contact with them rashly would be too dangerous, and he generally wouldn't choose to do so unless absolutely necessary.

The Heavenly Venerable Haori transformed into ten suns, hanging high in the nine heavens, untouchable.

Meanwhile, the Celestial Venerable of the Underworld is in deep slumber, hidden in an unknowable place in the realm of the mind, and does not manifest in reality.

After much thought, the only being most likely to find clues is the Celestial Venerable of Evolution.

According to the information obtained, this Celestial Venerable once personally taught the human race and regarded them as his own children. If one can find a trace of his legacy or relics, one may be able to glimpse the secrets of the true spirit.

This is the thought in my mind.

Hu Qi glanced at the two men and abandoned his idea of ​​killing them.

After all, he needed their help, and indiscriminately slaughtering the humans here could easily cause unnecessary trouble, which was not what he wanted to see.

His bones and muscles emitted soft crackling sounds, and his body suddenly grew taller, transforming into a three-meter-tall figure, indistinguishable from the human beings of this world.

The next moment, his figure blurred, and he had already traversed a hundred miles away.

From their memories, we learned that they were members of a family in a nearby city.

Hu Qi planned to enter the city to gather more information.

After all, their cultivation levels were low, and their knowledge was ultimately limited.

……

It wasn't until long after Hu Qi left that the two people standing there seemed to wake up from a dream and regain their composure.

They looked at each other blankly, completely unaware of what had just happened.

The memory of Hu Qi in my mind seemed to have been erased out of thin air, leaving no trace.

"Little Snowflake!"

The girl gasped in surprise, her gaze falling to the ground.

That glaring crimson color suddenly came into view.

……

Xianyun City.

The sky was dark, and a fine drizzle enveloped the entire city.

The distant sky hung low, and lead-gray clouds pressed heavily on the eaves and brackets.

Rainwater flowed down the dark tiles, gathering into strings of beads at the eaves, and dripping onto the bluestone ground.

Inside a restaurant.

Hu Qi sat leaning against the window.

On the table in front of him were several small, delicate dishes.

There was also a pot of wine on the side.

Hu Qi drank and poured himself a drink, looking relaxed.

All around were humans who were three meters tall. Because of the humans' tall physique, the houses here were very spacious.

Hu Qi looked out the window.

In the distance, a blimp glides past beneath the clouds.

The airship flickered with illusory, semi-transparent light and shadow; it was an advertisement for a restaurant in the city.

This City of Clouds is a human city.

There are many cities like this in this world.

Furthermore, despite the retro appearance of some buildings, the technology here is actually quite advanced.

Tradition and technology blend in a wonderful way here, creating a unique style for this era.

"What do you think of this place, fellow Daoist?"

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out from the side.

Hu Qi remained calm, seemingly unsurprised by the situation.

He drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Only then did he turn his gaze back to the direction from which the sound came.

I saw.

A woman in her early twenties had appeared in the previously empty space opposite the table.

The woman was dressed in a plain white dress, as ethereal as smoke and mist.

Her black hair was loosely tied up at the back of her head, secured only by a jade hairpin with cloud patterns.

She was not exceptionally beautiful, but she was very gentle and graceful.

What's even more amazing is that it gives you a sense of peace at first sight, as if a gentle breeze is blowing across the hills and everything is in nature.

The moment she appeared, the noisy crowd around her suddenly fell silent.

The silence came abruptly, as if separated by an invisible layer of flowing water, hazy and distant.

Only the sound of rain outside the window remained clear and distinct, falling into this sudden stillness.

At this moment, her clear black and white eyes were staring straight at Hu Qi, with a faint smile on her lips.

"Hehe, the location is indeed nice!"

Hu Qi smiled.

Looking at the woman in front of him.

He sensed a familiar aura emanating from the other person.

That was none other than the scent of snakes.

"I wonder which of the Four Saints of the Human Race you are?"

Hu Qi spoke up.

"Fellow Daoist, you may call me Xihe or Nuwa. What would you like to call me?"

Nuwa smiled.

The voice was calm, as if they were having a casual chat.

Upon hearing this, a look of understanding flashed in Hu Qi's eyes.

Legend has it that the Celestial Venerable of Evolution selected four saints to assist him in order to better manage the human race.

The Four Sages are Fuxi, the Sage of Heaven; Shennong, the Sage of Earth; Xuanyuan, the Sage of Man; and Nuwa, the Sage of Spirit.

She is also known as the Mother of Humanity.

He once saved the world and mended the sky.

This person is none other than Nuwa, the real Nuwa.

Rather than a projection produced by the reflection of a lower dimension.

He is a genuine being at the pinnacle of the Dao Fruit Realm.

Furthermore, he is very strong and possesses a vast amount of merit power, far exceeding the limits of ordinary Dao Fruit Realm cultivators.

"My name is Mo Ming, and I come from the Northern Heavenly Region..."

Hu Qi removed that crude disguise.

The body returned to normal.

Then, he opened his hand, revealing the Dao patterns on his palm.

The current situation was within his expectations.

He had sensed it the moment he entered Xianyun City.

However, he did not expect that the other party would find him so quickly.

But this is good, it saves us trouble.

He spoke his mind directly.

"My purpose in visiting this place is to pay homage to the Dao lineage left behind by the Celestial Venerable of Evolution. I hope Fellow Daoist Xi can grant my request!"

The Dao seal appeared in Hu Qi's hand.

A hint of surprise flashed in Nuwa's eyes.

She naturally knew something about the selection of the Daozi.

This is a very important matter.

She hadn't expected that Hu Qi was actually a Dao Child. In her perception, Hu Qi's strength was at least at the level of a Miaoyu, the third stage of the Dao Fruit realm.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to attract her attention.

The fact that the other party was able to reach this level in hundreds of millions of years is enough to show that they are a prodigy.

Thinking of this, her expression softened even more.

After all, among the five Heavenly Venerables, the Heavenly Venerable of Evolution and the Heavenly Venerable of Primordial Origin have a very close relationship.

As a Daoist disciple, the other party can be considered, in some respects, as that person's 'disciple'.

However, after hearing Hu Qi's request...

She frowned slightly.

After thinking for a moment, he then spoke.

"The Heavenly Venerable's lineage is of great importance. I need to discuss this matter with the other sages before I can give Fellow Daoist Mo an answer."

"As it should be."

Hu Qi nodded slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Mo, please wait a moment!"

Nuwa said something.

The figure faded and disappeared.

The next second, as if a play button had been pressed, the surrounding noise and conversations instantly rose up, and the world returned to its hustle and bustle.

Hu Qi remained calm as he poured himself a glass of wine, watching the wine sway slightly in the glass and its reflection.

A strange light flashed in his eyes.

If the Celestial Venerable of Evolution were to have a lineage passed down through generations, it would most likely be led by these four sages.

Although Hu Qi was stronger than his opponent and could suppress Nuwa and the other saints if he really made a move, he was still wary of whether the Celestial Venerable of Evolution had other plans.

If one can obtain the other party's lineage in a peaceful manner, that would be the best outcome.

However, the fact that the other party did not directly refuse at least proves that there is still room for negotiation, which is undoubtedly the best outcome.
