Mecha Era, Punch the Stars

These 'little people' are not tall, only seventy or eighty centimeters.

It is worth mentioning that they also have limbs and facial features, much like humans.

But the differences are also significant; it looks more like the face of a canine, with its ears standing upright on its head, its face covered in fur, and a lot of yellow fur stuck together.

At this moment, Li Yi noticed that a 'little person' was speaking in the mountains.

"I saw a god descend yesterday!"

"He taught me unparalleled divine arts. As long as you believe in me and offer your loyalty, I will lead you through the difficulties and solve the problems of food and warmth!"

The language used was rather unusual, not one of the common types found in the main universe, but Li Yi quickly deciphered it after collecting some materials.

After hearing the words of this 'petty person,' Li Yi couldn't help but chuckle.

This is just the usual thing: I, Qin Shi Huang, am asking for money!

Unexpectedly, the casual arrangement, after only one day of not looking at it, resulted in such a significant biological evolution, even bringing forth figures like the original cult leader.

Although this is partly due to his deliberate acceleration of the flow of time in the universe.

However, it is clear that this is also related to the enrichment of primordial energy and the use of Gaia Mother's Noble Phantasm to suppress this replica of Earth.

Li Yi's gaze shifted again, turning to the other regions of the replica Earth.

As you can see, the entire continental plate is covered with green vegetation, with towering forests and many giant trees that are hundreds of meters tall.

In various areas, you can also see some huge creatures, as tall as dinosaurs that appeared on Earth tens of millions of years ago, with some reaching tens of meters in height.

In the sky, there were cloud-like creatures that swam as lightly as fish.

In some high-altitude areas, thunder roars incessantly, these are the creatures of lightning.

In the southern hilly area, metal creatures the size of fists flapped their wings and flew around like insects.

In imitation of Earth, a magnificent spectacle of new life bursting forth unfolded in countless places.

While there were some similarities to the original Earth in terms of evolution, there were also many differences.

After observing for a while, Li Yi discovered that so far, all those who had developed intelligence were those canine-like little people.

These canine miniatures are found all over the replica of Earth, and even in the polar regions, there are a few tribes of them.

It is evident that this canine species has undergone convergent evolutionary intelligence.

On the contrary, other giant creatures, despite their amazing activity levels, have not yet shown any obvious signs of intelligence.

A faint soul exists, but it lacks much wisdom and sufficient learning ability.

"Interesting. Why is it that only this kind of canine human has developed intelligence?"

Li Yi immediately recalled the actions he had taken on the replica of Earth.

This is his universe, where he can clearly control all changes.

This also greatly helped him understand the laws of life.

When he created the world, he used the laws of spacetime as the main principle and the laws of origin as the secondary principle.

Now, the fundamental law has reached the point where the main body is operating.

Because whether it's the changes in matter within the universe, the mysteries of creation, or the evolution of life, everything is closely related to the fundamental laws.

The laws of spacetime play a more maintenance role here.

"I see."

After a moment of reflection, Li Yi understood the root of why dog-people were able to develop intelligence so quickly.

"It turns out it's related to that canine mutant that appeared 600 million years after the birth of the replica Earth." According to the time ratio between the microcosm and the main universe, one hundred million years is currently equivalent to one day in Li Yi's main universe.

This is roughly the result of him exerting half of his strength.

The remaining 50% is mainly to prevent unexpected events.

In other words, if he wanted to, he could drag any creature from the main universe into the universe and instantly extinguish its lifespan.

Only those who cultivate their conceptual body to an extremely high level can reduce the consumption of their lifespan.

When he traced back to the specific details, he instantly grasped the role of the corresponding life code in the evolution of intelligence.

In Li Yi's view, comprehending the laws of life means comprehending enough life codes.

Various forms, microscales, and unexpected events, combined and varied, can evolve into a near-infinite system of life.

The crown-type code is undoubtedly a type of intelligence code.

Regardless of the microscopic scale or form, the code that can give birth to intelligence is the core that can make his universe more perfect.

At this moment, with Li Yi's enlightenment, he instantly understood how to deploy new life codes on other planets to accelerate the birth of intelligent life.

Having understood these points, he acted swiftly.

For example, Jupiter, which is tens of thousands of times larger than Earth, could be used to try to give rise to a group of large intelligent beings, thus accelerating the evolution of the laws of the universe.

With a wave of his hand, a new kind of storm life was born on the enormous replica of Jupiter's clouds, amidst the raging storms.

This life is special; it possesses a faint soul from the moment it is born.

In just a moment, it surpassed the achievements of the 600 million years of evolution of the modeled Earth.

As you can see, the giant storm that has been sweeping across the mimicry of Jupiter for years has shown signs of slowing down, and has given rise to a pair of enormous eyes that are looking in Li Yi's direction, casting a subtle emotion of adoration.

"Interesting, this is the fun of creating a universe."

Li Yi laughed.

This single moment of enlightenment was equivalent to the effect of digesting fragments of life-related laws of memory over the past few days.

The most effective combination is hands-on practice and absorbing fragmented memories.

Furthermore, with life flourishing everywhere in the universe, the laws of evolution should also evolve much faster.

He looked at the dog-man again, his eyes filled with the look of someone eyeing a treasure.

The genetic makeup of these canine humans will obviously undergo considerable evolution.

As their population increases, they will inevitably develop higher average intelligence and evolve more life codes.

"Let's give them some extra ingredients and accelerate their evolution."

The question is, what should be added?
Li Yi began to ponder.

As he pondered, he turned his gaze to the 'cult leader' from before.

In the blink of an eye, this 'cult leader' had gathered a group of followers, formed the Youchao clan, and proclaimed himself the leader of the Youchao clan and the high priest of the Chaos God. Under the guise of divine authority, he completed the rule over this tribe of hundreds of dog-men.

More than a decade has passed since then.

This high priest of the nest god also led the tribe to build the first group of tree nests, thus avoiding the fate of being devoured by terrestrial carnivores.

The rest of the tribe's canine inhabitants also escaped the fate of being afflicted by the cold, and their average lifespan increased from 10 years to 20 years.

However, at this moment, the high priest of the Nest God encountered the biggest problem of his life.

"High Priest, the Flintfire Clan is demanding that we provide them with the method to build their lair and pledge allegiance to them. Many in the clan have already been tempted, lured by the roasted meat, and have defected. What should we do now?" (End of Chapter)
