Forty Millenniums of Chapter 2713 - The War Before The Primeval Age

Chapter 2713 - The War Before The Prival Age

Thanks to the ability of eternal life, Li Yao’s people occupied the planet almost overnight.

As far as one’s eyes could see, weirdly-shaped black creatures were everywhere on volcanoes, swamps, valleys, and oceans. They assembled and disassembled themselves into new shapes as if they were toys.

They ran, they roared, they wandered, and they flew. They built themselves into enormous drills to explore the essence of the sun below the ground or the precious minerals. They heated the minerals to fortify each other’s bodies.

Even those annoying fungi were conquered and dosticated into so sort of crops. They were grown to help the beetles improve the environnt of this terrible planet.

Li Yao lted and swallowed more and more beetles. He grew larger and larger, and the glittering patterns on his surface were even more splendid, allowing him to send more information to his companions and develop more self-awareness.

.

Finally, when the big groups had little living space left and had to further congregate, a civil war broke out.

Rather than a civil war, it might be more of a competition and a test for the living form in the next step.

Li Yao at this mont was like a greasy giant crab with a long thorny tail behind him. He couldn’t move fast, but the speed of his attack was astonishing.

The companion he saw, on the other hand, looked like a hybrid of a wolf and a leopard. It seed agile and aggressive.

They received each other’s pheromones and agreed to lt with each other.

The problem was that on whom their new form should be based after the lting and whose features should be kept.

The two living creatures made of beetles showed their patterns, trying to convince each other of the advantages of their form, but neither of them could persuade the other one.

So, a fight was inevitable.

Waving his pincers, Li Yao attacked the enemy’s front leg.

In the next second, his perspective changed to the enemy’s. He saw that "he" was jumping and trying to land on Li Yao’s back.

But in the next second, his consciousness left the battlefield, and he observed the battle from the sky like an omniscient god.

The self-awareness in a collective civilization couldn’t be described to an individual civilization, just like how even the best writer could not describe the differences of colors to a naturally-blind person.

The battle only lasted ten minutes.

The "wolf" was about to win. It had torn off the enemy’s pincers and left a hole on the enemy’s chest.

However, its enemy suddenly waved its tail, and a crystal hidden in the tail was activated, darting out a scorching streak of light that dissolved the core of the wolf!

The battle ca to an unexpected end. The wolf collapsed into countless shrieking beetles, which were swallowed by the crab before they could fly away.

Li Yao felt that he was stronger and wiser, and he could see his destiny more clearly.

The genetic information deep inside the wolf’s genes was transmitted to his brain like dazzling electric arcs, allowing him to unlock more complicated structures.

He couldn’t wait to try these new structures.

Even if he might fail, he didn’t care.

After all, he would never die.

For many years that followed, Li Yao and his companions modified the planet crazily.

They were no longer satisfied with the shapes of beasts. They needed more advanced and complicated structures to improve the efficiency of resource utilization.

The structures that were trendous in the first place were assembled again into what appeared to be factories and mining systems.

The beetles were piled up into skyscrapers. Of course, although they looked like buildings, they were almost entirely concrete. They were more like honeycombs than buildings.

There were also billions of more beetles that were gathered like a black spring and projected into the biggest volcano on this planet. With the heat of the magma, they assembled into an unprecedented tool for calculation, a... master brain.

The calculation was very simple.

Assuming that a glowing beetle was "1" and a dim beetle was "0
