Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 158 Invite the Immortal God to Reside in the World!
Insect Thirteen also saw the prototype of the Amber Swallowtail Butterfly.

However, in Chong Shisan's mind, this was naturally not the Phoenix Emperor.

After all, how numerous are the Butterfly Clan?
It must be that a new sage emerged from some butterfly clan in later generations.

He even saw that two of the coffins in the Tomb of the Ten Saints were empty, with no corpses inside.

They are: the Immortal of Immortality and the Immortal of the Long Poem Sword.

Upon seeing this, a thought popped into Chong Shisan's mind:
"The Long Poem Sword Immortal, did this guy just crawl out of his coffin to take charge of the whole situation?"

"That makes sense, he's lived since World War Sixth, over two thousand years old! He's probably burned through a lot of his lifespan, he's very old!"

“Chang Shengren, this is Xu Changsheng’s tomb.”

"These companies are too good at tomb raiding. The only tomb they haven't taken is Xu Changsheng's!"

Xu Changsheng left behind many great and miraculous legends in history.

The fact that these nine sages are ranked alongside him demonstrates their historical prowess.

"Ordinary born saints cannot enter the Tomb of the Ten Saints; these are the ten strongest beings in history!"

The Long Poem Sword Immortal began his introduction casually:

"For example, this one, PC002 [Lanhai Wenjing], we previously discovered ancient civilization relics on the seabed."

"It probably originated three million years ago, around the same time as ancient apes."

"This is a rudimentary tribal civilization on the seabed, which only existed for seven hundred years. With the death of this giant whale saint, the civilization reverted to being a beast."

"We have only excavated a part of its brain so far, but it is enough to shock us and make it one of the three prototypes."

The long poem is filled with emotion.

It is precisely because there are many unknown, unsolved, and even short-lived civilizations in ancient history.

That's why they have such a strong capacity to accept ancient myths.

Because it's not just humans who can have a saintly mind; other animals can also have one.

Even before or during the rise of humankind, some rudimentary animal tribal civilizations had already emerged.

But their rise was short-lived, and they quickly became extinct.

Because the only wise sage died and there was no successor, this civilization, which only existed for a few hundred years, would immediately revert to its beastly state.

But this is enough to make humankind marvel at the vastness and mystery of history.

Chong Shisan's gaze fell on the first and strongest holy tomb.

PC003, the mountain-top ape, possesses super-adaptive evolutionary power.

"An ancient ape?" Insect Thirteen asked curiously, "Is this the ancestor of humankind?"

“Yes, every born saint has their own unique abilities.” Chang Shi smiled.

"This is one of our three fundamental intelligent brains, the mountain-top ape."

"As one of the three basic AIs, people think it is weak, but in reality it is because cloned AIs do not have the characteristics of innate saints that they think it is weak."

"This is a saintly characteristic of an ancient ape, which is called: strong adaptive evolution."

"If it were another ancient ape with the talent of a saint, it would be like the Lan Hai Wen Whale; after its death, the other ancient apes would also turn back into wild beasts."

"We humans would never have been born."

"But this ancient ape's characteristic was its ability to adapt and evolve; it was aware that after its death, other ancient apes would revert to a herd of wild animals."

So, with the power of the saint's body, he devoted his life to rapid evolution, thus specializing his intelligence and producing intelligent offspring, resulting in the emergence of hairless naked apes with high basic intelligence—humans.

"I see." Upon hearing this, Chong Shisan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Biological fossils can only be preserved under specific circumstances.

Only three fossilized brains have been discovered so far, which is estimated to be less than 1% of the total number of all historical brains.

Before the ancient apes, there were not only whales, but also butterflies.

Trilobites, blue-green algae, birds, pheasants, wolf packs, tigers, and leopards may also have been seen.
Various innate geniuses.

But after they die of old age, the centuries-old civilization they led will revert to barbarism.

Only humans, as one of the animal civilizations, possess this unique characteristic.

The emergence of a sage with "evolutionary characteristics" changed the population, leading to the evolution of a race in which all members possess wisdom.

To become the ultimate victor and stand out among countless animal civilizations.

"So that's how it is. Is this the origin story of humankind?"

"The origins and truth of the three fundamental intelligent brains."

Sitting on the throne, Liu Jun quietly observed this historical truth and felt he had also benefited greatly.

Humanity has come a long way to get to where it is today.

As one of the three great children's books, I naturally read and studied "The Mountain-Top Ape," which accompanied me through my childhood.

The Long Poem Sword Immortal said calmly:
"You should know that the offspring of the Holy Body have a higher probability of being born with the Holy Body, and their constitution is also hereditary."

"For example, the saintly trait of this family is [high-speed consciousness], and the saints who appear in their descendants will basically also have this trait."

"Today, we humans have almost no new types of Holy Communions."

Hearing this, Chong Shisan smiled: "Because of Qingdeng Fucai?"

"Yes!"

The Long Poem Sword Immortal sighed softly.
"The blessing of the green lamp has increased the probability of the appearance of the holy body. Now our number of saints is too large. It seems that the times are progressing."

"But actually?"

“The saints, by causing the people of the world to conceive their children, also homogenize the Holy Body.”

"The current Holy Body basically only has the most basic characteristics such as [high-speed consciousness] and [powerful soul].

At this point, a hint of helplessness flashed across Chang Shi's face.

These sacred bodies inherited through bloodlines are too homogeneous.

Normally, the probability of obtaining the first Holy Body is one in 100 billion.

But now?

But all the children born to them were the offspring of certain powerful families, the saints.

The fact that everyone is getting IVF has actually caused the probability of natural conception to plummet to one in a trillion.

But their superiors won't stop them.

Furthermore, the fact that they all share the characteristics of saints implies that they belong to a powerful and influential family.

This would strengthen the foundation of one's clan, so why not?
Listening to these high-level core secrets, Chong Shisan couldn't help but ask, "Without the emergence of new types of Holy Bodies, you've stagnated in this area. So, what are you trying to say?"

"The bloodline of a saint is hereditary," the Long Poet Sword Immortal said meaningfully.

"The lineage of the mountain ape can also be inherited across generations. Historically, many generations have passed before another super-adaptive evolution appeared."

He pointed to a tombstone that read: Immortal of the Mortal World.

"This person was a fleeting figure in history, dying in just over thirty years old. We suspect that he died suddenly due to an evolutionary anomaly."

"Naked apes evolved into humans, but what did humans evolve into?"

"It's a pity he failed, and we were unable to witness this historic moment."

"We were even more amazed when we unearthed his body from the ancient tomb."

The long poem opened the coffin, inside which was a lifelike male corpse.

"See? All the legends of immortals among us humans originated from him."

"In ancient times, he was described as invulnerable to swords and spears, with skin as smooth as ice and bones as fine as jade."

"Among us fragile mind masters, this is simply unbelievable."

Upon hearing this, Chong Shisan glanced at it and immediately showed a hint of surprise. "Isn't this body similar to your Rabbit Mech?"

All normal living organisms contain iron.

The metal content of this body is ridiculously high, containing various elements such as gold, iron, copper, carbon, zinc, and silicon.

"What do you think of this body?" asked the Sword Immortal Changshi.

Chong Shisan paused for a moment, then said, "It's quite nutritionally balanced! We're just carbon, while his is more balanced!"

“Yes.” The Long Poetry Sword Immortal laughed heartily, “A good creature is one that has a balanced diet and doesn’t pick and choose its food.”

Balanced nutrition?

Liu Jun sat on the throne, somewhat speechless as he watched the two people talking.

“Yes, more strictly speaking,” Chang Shi said, “our modern nanotech mechs draw a lot of inspiration from him.”

"Our mechs aren't just made of iron. Do you really think they're made of iron armor? Wouldn't they rust?"

"It contains zinc, iron, copper, and carbon."

"What you see on the surface is just sheet metal; we are nutritionally balanced."

The Long Poetry Sword Immortal explained softly, gazing at the tomb of this mortal immortal.
"He should have evolved us into humans just as the mountain apes evolved us into humans. He should have evolved us into the next stage, the stage with immortal roots."

Chong Shisan was stunned, before he could even ask what the immortal root he mentioned was.

"But he failed, so the era of immortality for humankind did not successfully begin!"

The long poem let out a long sigh, "Our top ten companies have a dream! A golden dream! To fulfill the dream of an immortal!"

Hearing this, Insect Thirteen basically understood. "So, you're following his unfinished path, completing the evolutionary path he didn't finish?"

"Yes."

Chang Shi smiled gently, "Why do you think that our ultimate goal is to develop mechanized mechs?"

"Have you seen that beautiful rabbit's battle?"

Chong Shisan replied, "I saw it."

Mito has a battle record detailing the entire process of how she seized the oily divine object.

She was an exceptionally beautiful woman.

"That is our evolutionary pattern; we aim to create a reproductive, nutritionally balanced life form."

What do you think is the essence of life?

"Carbon-based life? A mass of flesh and blood made up of more than 80% carbohydrates? Don't you think that's too picky? Too unbalanced? Eating only carbohydrates will only make you a low-level, pointy-headed creature."

"Did you see God's body? He has a half-elemental body, with a metallic skeleton, flesh and blood, and elemental energy. That makes things more balanced."

"When we see God's body, we feel that it is similar to our own thoughts!"

"balanced!"

"This is the classical immortal path we've always dreamed of."

The so-called immortals must have a strong physical body.

But they had already discovered that no flesh and blood could withstand swords, guns, or cannons.

This is the drawback of having a physical body.

So they began to study how to improve this flaw by adding various elements of balance.

Their insane plan to achieve immortality was also born.

Their goal is to create a celestial body!

Include the entire periodic table.

Yes, like the Demon King Goliath, they had long planned to build a sacred body.

"So, what are you planning to do?" Chong Shisan asked.

The long poem said calmly, "You'll find out as you watch."

He pointed.

A vast ocean of public consciousness is surging with tides, converging into a completely new world.

"This is the [spiritual realm] where our collective consciousness converges. We originally intended to build a sacred body within it."

"Now, time is a bit tight, but it's still in the planning stage. We plan to deduce the immortal civilization in the spirit world, using that oil god as the starting point."

Having said that, he looked at the immortal deity on the Temple of Immortality:

"God, would you lend us a hand? We are still missing a piece of territory, and we need the Butterfly Clan's small help."

Liu Jun simply smiled.

Others may not notice their disappearance.

However, it's not surprising that this person, being the strongest of the contemporary era and ten realms below him, could vaguely sense that hidden aura.

If it weren't for the shared sea of ​​consciousness separating them, Liu Jun could sense that he could slap him to death.

Of course, since I am in an immortal state, I am not afraid of him killing me with one slap. I can use the energy in my body to revive.

The Long Poem Sword Immortal seemed to have been prepared all along, tentatively fishing for prey:

"God, I would like to ask you to officially return to the ancient tree of this era and settle there!"

A hint of curiosity flickered in the eyes of the immortal god, who sat on his throne and chuckled:

"Your descriptions of the origin of naked apes, the history of human reading, and the dream of immortality have indeed caught my attention."
