With a length and a width over ten thousand kiloters, the surrounding ‘Soup of Life’ has transford from an amniotic state into an ancient sea brimming with life energy.
From the previous lessons, Su Lu learned patience.
It patiently waited for life to grow and to find its own path.
For an eternal Divine being, ti doesn’t hold much aning, let alone the fact that Su Lu was capable of ‘speeding up’ this world.
After an unknown period of ti, spore-like organisms appeared first.
Swiftly, after ten million years, invertebrates began their large-scale outbreak.
...
All kinds of quirky, strange creatures started their own evolution while existing and multiplying in the ancient ocean.
At this ti, influenced by Atmosspfere, sporadic vegetation began to appear on the continent.
Insects with hard shells and fish with vertebrae were the dominators of this period.
“Hmm?”
Su Lu lowered his eyes, noticing sothing in one place.
In a damp environnt, an amphibious reptile tentatively crawled onto land, curiously gazing at the surrounding ferns.
“Finally… has the era of amphibians arrived?”
Su Lu was staring at this beetle-like creature.
It had a large body, with a shell covering its exterior, scales protected its key spots, the overall color was a seaweed-like dark green, the lower body had a row of legs, the upper body was upright with two arms, large pincers were at the palm’s position, incredibly sharp, capable of cutting any prey.
Overall, it looked sowhat like a fusion of humans and scorpions.
“Insect clan, the rulers of the sea…”
Su Lu silently sensed its information: “Evolved from the simplest unicellular life, it possesses infinite possibilities…however, it’s still influenced by a hint of chaos.”
This was the essence of the Laplace world, an unavoidable matter.
As a matter of fact, the evolutionary process of the creatures here differed slightly from what Su Lu knew.
After all, this was a world where transcendent power existed!
It woke from its slumber and quietly observed this species.
Reality proved that the insect clan indeed had excellent talent.
Although no individual possessed transcendent power, they developed rapidly as a group.
In just tens of thousands of years, they had fully adapted to life on land, their bodies had undergone certain changes to suit their new lifestyle.
They built one colony after another on land, sowhat similar to primitive human tribes.
Crrrack!
The sky was shrouded in dark clouds and a bolt of lightning struck.
A piece of wood was set ablaze, below, was a small unlucky animal, struck dead by lightning.
At that mont, a mber of the insect clan happened to pass by, it slled the aroma of the food, and hesitantly stuffed the burnt food into its mouth.
History was changed at this mont.
Smarter insects who knew how to use fire appeared.
The Tribe of Fire, as they called themselves, established primitive fire-worshipping rituals.
The nutritious intake made them stronger than their peers, their shells even harder.
Gradually, they bore symbols of fire on their bodies, their shells turned a vivid red.
Language, architecture, tools…
Various marks of civilization erged within the tribe.
Finally…
“We are the descendants of fire, we will conquer the entire world!”
This enormous tribe started to expand, defeating their old relatives and reducing them to slaves.
The population of the tribe quickly reached over one hundred thousand, they were the undeniable rulers of the world.
…
Vaye was a warrior of the Tribe of Fire.
Despite his young age, he already bore three fire marks on his arms, a certification of his strength.
His huge, sharp pincers could clip the hardest wood.
All of his clanmates praised him, saying that he would undoubtedly beco a warrior chief and a potential Keeper of the Holy Fire.
Vaye liked to think.
It was said that the Keeper of the Holy Fire in the tribe were the smartest priests, but even they often couldn’t answer Vaye’s questions.
Questions like ‘Who am I?’, ‘Where do I co from?’, ‘What am I supposed to do?’
All they could do was repeat that the sea was the source of all things, fire was the ancestor of wisdom, therefore, they must worship.
But no one could truly explain why.
“The sea huh…”
Even Vaye had to admit that the children of fire were gradually being rejected by the sea.
Additionally, the dangers contained within the sea were sothing that the insect clan had yet to conquer.
Like…
those giant, terrifying fish that could swallow ten elite insect warriors in one gulp.
Their size was much bigger than the beasts on land.
The deep ocean was also a restricted area for many creatures.
Rumour had it that in the oldest and deepest Devil’s Seaditch, there lied unparalleled dangers, a place that even the mightiest sea creatures dared not approach.
Vaye wanted to go there, but he knew that with his current strength he couldn’t even defeat the sea beasts at the outer periphery.
Thus, he could only co to the seaside every day, watching the tide rise and fall, silently pondering.
On this day.
As the tide ebbed, it revealed a section of a black stone monunt.
“What is…
this?”
Vaye approached, staring at the obsidian monunt: “A gift…
from the sea?”
When the sea ebbed at tis, it sotis brought items from the deep sea, so he was used to it.
But this piece of monunt gave him a wholly different feeling.
He trembled, turning over the seaweed, shells, and sand with his pincers to see the strange symbols carved on the surface of the monunt.
They were like strands of ‘strings’ woven together to form a hard-to-describe, beautiful structure.
Vaye’s spirit was shivering.
His whole body was trembling, and there was only one voice in his heart, screaming and exclaiming.
This is…
this is what he had been searching for!
Maybe on this, all answers could be found.
Unconsciously, his claw followed the ‘strings’ engraved on the monunt, starting to trace it.
Vaye looked as if he were in a trance, copying and tracing it like so.
Ti passed without him knowing how long it had been.
When the moon rose.
Pop!
A crisp sound broke the silence.
He ca back to his senses, startlingly looking at a pit that had appeared on the dune.
“Was this…
my doing?”
Vaye lifted his claw, tracing the symbol again.
Pop!
Another burst of air echoed, disrupting the quiet night.
…
“Oh?
Lucky indeed…”
From outside the world, Su Lu noticed this scene and couldn’t help but laugh.
The ancient Laplace Continent was once the age where mythical races thrived, the ancient rulers were mythical creatures.
Where they passed, imprints were left on the earth, naturally forming mysterious runes and knowledge.
Not to ntion that later on, those who opened their wisdom and beca gods left even more rich information.
Although the continent had sunk, so remnants from the peripheries had erged, an absolutely normal occurrence.
These were the keys to transcendence!
