Chapter 3053 The Emperor's Legend
"I'm the answer?"
Li Yao murmured to himself, "Don't even the dignified 'emperor' know who he is, where he came from, and why he was born?"
"Yes, in later myths and legends, he was called the 'Emperor', leaving behind countless bizarre and absurd legendary men, but he was just a passerby who lost his way in the sea of stars, a person who spent his whole life looking for answers. Unfortunately, until the end of his life, he did not know the meaning of his or even the entire human civilization, and our mission that might have been delayed for billions of years."
The voice of the tombkeeper is full of desolation, ancient and helpless taste.
With the rippling and surging of the information flow, the illusions that appear around them also become clear.
It was like going back hundreds of thousands of years, when the Pangu civilization had just discovered ancient ruins and established a large cutting-edge laboratory here.
"The Emperor...My memory starts with a small embryo."
The voice of the tombkeeper is getting lower and lower, like a murmur in a dream. It enters the role of "Emperor", or simply plays the emperor's last words, "I am like an archaeological floating in the primitive ocean, drifting with the waves in the scorching and nutritious sea water, and in just a few days, dozens or hundreds of days, I have experienced a path that can only be taken by bacteria to carbon-based intelligent life for billions of years. Then I realized that I am not wandering in the vast ocean, but living in a field of artificially simulated nutrient solution.
“That was really a very strange feeling.
"If I am really a bacteria, or just a cell, even a carbon-based intelligent life embryo, I should not have self-consciousness and precise thinking ability, be able to "consciously" my living environment, and even release things like "divine thoughts" and "thinking touch" to perceive and explore the world around me.
"But I have this ability to clearly sense the entire process of my life from a small bacteria waving flagella and tentacles, slowly evolving into multicellular organisms and even intelligent life embryos, and even scanning the reinforced glass wall outside the nutrient solution and the vast and complex laboratory outside the culture chamber.
"It is a cutting-edge laboratory that is a hundred times larger and more advanced than the laboratory you see. It seems that there are thousands of similar culture warehouses that are cultivating batches of embryos or similar things at the same time. There are also many mature but unsuccessful embryos, which are also used by waste. They are sliced and studied in the operating tables and crystal brains of the Pangu tribe and Nuwa tribe, and conduct virtual experiments. All kinds of strange and whimsical experiments are continuous, day and night."
As the gravekeepers kept playing the last words of the "Emperor", the surrounding environment also changed, and countless scenes of Pangu and Nuwa tribe wearing sealed sterile suits appearing, burying their heads for experiments.
The experimental items on the operating table and crystal brain light curtain include various strange-shaped ferocious beasts, but most of them can still vaguely recognize the appearance of humans.
"At that time, I didn't understand everything the prehistoric races did. I only knew that they had cultivated thousands of embryos similar to me and stimulated them in various ways, hoping to activate the mysterious power hidden deep in the embryo, but most of the experiments failed."
The emperor continued to say in a low and sad voice, "Some embryos cannot activate any power, and they ended abruptly during the evolution, becoming various carbon-based lives without any wisdom, wild beasts that eat raw blood and drink blood; some embryos cannot withstand too strong stimulation, explode and destroy directly, and completely melted into the nutrient solution; and most embryos have successfully grown into fetuses and become babies, but after they were born, they did not show any extraordinary magical powers. In addition to their strong reproductive ability and environmental adaptability, they are simply powerless. They are far inferior to those of the advanced and powerful prehistoric races such as the Pangu tribe, Nuwa tribe, Gonggong tribe, and Zhurong tribe.
"The researchers from Pangu and Nuwa tribes seem to be very dissatisfied with the experimental results. I can sense their anxiety, anger and even despair.
"At that time, I was just a small embryo, not much more complicated than bacteria. In my understanding of the prehistoric race, it is not just gods and demons, but a kind of life of higher dimensions. There is something that can make them all feel "irritated" and "despair". I really can't imagine what it would be.
"In short, researchers from the prehistoric civilization conducted experiments on countless embryos, and then entered the data of the failed experiments into the next batch of experimental embryos, replaced the experimental environment and stimulation parameters, and suffered the next failure. However, in the failure of each batch of embryos, 1% of the embryos survived by chance. They were neither destroyed by strong stimulation nor embarked on the wrong path of evolution, and developed in a relatively weak posture. They just maintained the embryo state, absorbed silently, and continued to lie dormant.
"I am the lucky embryo among them. It took me three years to go from cell to embryo to fetal state."
In front of Li Yao, a cultivation warehouse like a crystal tower appeared.
At the beginning, the culture warehouse seemed empty except for the light green nutrient solution and nothing existed.
Only by releasing the divine mind to the limit can Li Yao scan something like a cell from the nutrient solution.
The reason why it is called "cell-like" is because the structure of ordinary cells should be very simple, but the inside of this cell is mysterious and complex to the limit, just like... it contains the entire universe.
As time goes by, researchers around the crystal tower have changed batch after batch.
From the Pangu tribe who was tall and had a malformed brain swelling at the beginning; to the Nuwa tribe who had a "gene capsule" on his tail, and could dismantle and combine genes at will; to the plant life Kuafu tribe and insect life Houyi tribe, as well as Zhurong tribe and Gonggong tribe, etc., each of the prehistoric carbon-based intelligent life uses their unique secret method to modulate the embryo, injecting a large amount of nutrients, gene fragments, psychic ripples and information flow into the embryo.
Under such stimulation and "feeding", the embryo slowly expanded, growing from the initial bacteria into a light golden ball of flesh with a diameter of more than 20 to 30 centimeters. It was like a crystal that shrinks the star billion times, slowly rotating, sucking and sucking, releasing a mysterious and gorgeous light. As the emperor said, it was dormant and swallowing for three years, and was unwilling to break out of the shell a second in advance.
"I seem to be the experimental subject that has been persisted in the embryonic state for the longest time in the entire laboratory."
The emperor said, "After standing out from countless embryos, it naturally attracted the attention of most of the prehistoric researchers. The resources of the entire laboratory were concentrated on me, allowing me to endure stronger stimulations every time. And I did see many pictures and awaken a lot of knowledge under such stimulation. A lot of wisdom does not belong to this era and this universe.
"That's like, this is not my first life, but my 'reincarnation'. Before being trained from the laboratory this time, I had lived once or even countless times. I had fought, struggled, resisted, defeated, despaired, and escaped!
"In the depths of my sea of consciousness, countless pictures flashed, and even the simplest one cannot be described with ink.
"I saw that I used to be, or humans similar to myself, had light golden patterns all over my body, and I was born with the ability to call the wind and rain and control all living things. We stepped on incredible warships, waved lightning and thunder, and wandered between the starry sea and even the multiverse, conquered those intelligent lives of different forms and deprived them of their wisdom, devoured their civilization, incorporated the essence of their civilization into our civilization, and even transformed everything of their civilization into the form of information flow, engraved in our gene library.
"Whether it is the glorious center of the starry sea, the tall giants as big as mountains on the ultra-low density planet, or the crystal clear, weak and boneless ocean people in the ocean planet, or the stars are too close to the stars, with almost no atmosphere, and the solar insect swarms born on the planet with extremely hot climate... all kinds of intelligent lives that seem hideous and terrifying, and will not even appear in nightmares have been conquered by us and become a small and clear imprint in the human gene library.
"Everyone of us, every cell in every human body, is a 'cosmic civilization museum'. On any strand of genes, there are at least hundreds of carbon-based intelligent life stored in everything, and it is a solidified civilization. This is our spoil.
"We use dragons as symbols and can even completely unlock our abilities and turn ourselves into real dragons. The so-called "dragon" is a super life created by devouring billions of creatures and using the genetic essence of billions of creatures.
"but……
"Even a super life as powerful as a dragon or a god or a demon, when facing the mysterious and vast universe, it will still touch an insurmountable limit.
"After reaching the peak, our civilization fell to the bottom almost instantly. The invincible golden years were smashed to pieces. We have gone from the master of the multiverse to the displaced and despaired dog. The glory and glory of winning every battle have all become panic and humiliating and fear.
"Who is our enemy? How did we become like this? If this is what I experienced in my ‘previous life’, then how did I come from ‘previous life’ to ‘previous life’?
"I really want to know the answers to these questions, and I really want to continue exploring the bizarre images and endless past.
