Chapter 2: Creating the word with one Stroke!

Chen Luo said he could do it. The existing technology already had VR game glasses, which could be used as a medium to draw the player's consciousness into Genesis.

A month later, when Chen Luo recovered, he set up a transmission channel through the Hunyuan Pen and, using its black technology capabilities, bypassed audits to go online on major gaming platforms.

"Second Life" was marketed as a leisure development game, claiming nearly 100% authenticity after ten years of development. Jiang Junhao, a veteran user on the Steam platform and an avid game fan, was skeptical. As a rich second generation, he spent his days finding fun games to pass the time. When he saw "Second Life" claiming 100% authenticity and only 1 GB in size, he laughed, finding the claim absurd. Nonetheless, he clicked to download it out of curiosity.

After downloading, Jiang Junhao registered and started the game, using his VR glasses. He was immediately impressed by the realistic rainforest world he entered, feeling the rain, temperature, and seeing strange animals. The game interface presented only one option: "Create your own biological population to start your adventure. Creation method: directly generate with ideas."

Jiang Junhao, baffled by the game's demand for creating a creature, tried several mythical and advanced creatures, only to be told his knowledge level was insufficient. Frustrated, he finally accepted the system's suggestion to start with the lowest level: ants.

"Congratulations to the successful establishment of the ant group. Players will start the evolutionary path from the current game scene," the game announced. Jiang Junhao, now an ant queen, felt a sense of realism in controlling his ant colony. He marveled at the game's black technology, realizing the 100% authenticity claim was not false.

Jiang Junhao, along with 1,000 other beta players, experienced the game similarly, starting with low-level creatures due to their limited biological knowledge. However, about 1% of players, using their biological knowledge, created advanced species like Homo sapiens, ant-men, rat-men, and werewolves.

Chen Luo, observing these players, focused on those who created interesting creatures. He didn't analyze the genes immediately, as the species needed to evolve to a more perfect state. Within one day in the real world, equating to 10,000 years in the game, the players' created species had already undergone survival of the fittest.

Chen Luo watched as these strange species experienced their first round of natural selection, excited by the potential of this innovative game.

In 10,000 years, there were less than 100 species created by the first 1,000 players.

The vast majority of players, upon entering "Second Life," marveled at its authenticity and initially focused on exploring the game world rather than survival. For instance, players who chose to start as low-level fish enjoyed the magical feeling of swimming in the sea, only to quickly become food for predators like the Blue Devils. Upon dying, they were reminded that they had two more chances to create a species. After using up all their chances, they were forced out of the game.

Players soon realized there was no safe area in this world. Most were forced to start as low-level creatures due to their limited biological knowledge, ending up at the bottom of the food chain and quickly eliminated. Consequently, most players used up their chances and were out of the game within a day, leading to widespread frustration on the "Second Life" forums.

Despite complaints, players were captivated by the game's tactile realism, with many eager for another chance to play. As screenshots and videos of the game and its evolved creatures were shared, more people wanted to join, only to find that only the first 1,000 registrants could participate in the beta.

One player, Jiang Junhao, who had chosen to evolve ants, started a live post titled "Live Post! See how my ant emperor dominates the world!" attracting over 2,000 viewers. The live broadcast showed Jiang Junhao's ants quickly expanding their colony over a hill. Viewers watched in awe as time accelerated in the game, seeing 400 years pass in an hour, with the ant colony evolving and expanding.

Under Jiang Junhao's control, the ant civilization established a precise division of labor similar to human society, with ants working together to maintain the colony. As the game progressed, different ant groups evolved unique traits. Some built underground kingdoms, others evolved wings to become flying ants, while others became blood ants with powerful bite abilities.

By the game's 1600th year, various ant groups had spread over multiple peaks, becoming the rulers of their area. As the game continued, some ants even adapted to living near the sea, evolving into aquatic creatures. Viewers were mesmerized by the evolution and growth of Jiang Junhao's ants, expressing their desire to play the game.

However, the game world suddenly changed. A massive storm and tsunami struck, wiping out Jiang Junhao's entire ant colony. The game interface displayed a message: "In the event of a natural disaster and tsunami that happens once in a thousand years, your ethnic group can't resist it and it's genocide."

The live broadcast viewers, despite their disappointment at the sudden end, remained fascinated by the game's depth and realism.

"You have died 3 times, please wait for the second package to be tested again."

Jiang Junhao looked dazed!

I evolved well, finally creating a super ant army to rule the world. I was just preparing to conquer the world. Now you tell me that a once-in-a-thousand-years natural disaster has wiped everything out?

I can't believe it!

Jiang Junhao felt like spitting blood.

Damn game planning! Get out here! I'll cut off your head!

Jiang Junhao wasn't the only one upset; the live audience was stunned, then burst into laughter.

"Wow, haha, I feel bad for the Ant Emperor for a second. No more, there's only a second in it for several months."

"Nothing in the game is more powerful than the developers. They can cause genocide at will."

"This elimination rate is too high! Are the game developers trying to make money or drive players away?"

"Oh, any other live broadcasts? I want to watch other species!"

...

Meanwhile, Chen Luo issued a command in his consciousness, "Analyze the queen's gene."

"Understood... The primary life form has evolved to the peak of its ethnic group, with low gene value, producing 0.01% of the gene of gods. Evaluation: Normal."

Chen Luo was pleased to have finally produced a valuable genetic species.

"Should the queen's gene be integrated into the gene of the god?"

"Merge!" Chen Luo immediately replied.

"In process of integration."

"The fusion begins!"

Instantly, a deep, soul-wrenching pain hit him. Chen Luo broke out in a cold sweat and fell onto his bed, twitching slightly until he passed out.

When Chen Luo woke up, half a day had passed. He got up, feeling different—energetic, with seemingly endless strength.

Chen Luo didn't expect such a drastic change from just integrating 0.01% of the god-born genes. Unlocking the first-order gene lock must be incredibly powerful.

Soul memory told him he must unlock the third-order genetic lock within three years or die. What terrible enemy awaited him?

Chen Luo needed more players. Only 1,000 players so far had contributed 0.01% of the god gene. If he could get 100,000 or even millions of players, more valuable species would naturally emerge.

Chen Luo entered the world of Genesis. On the third day, one-fifth of the players were eliminated, leaving only 22 races. The surviving species were of relatively high biological levels. Species like ants, plants, and fish either became food or were wiped out by natural disasters like the tsunami that hit Jiang Junhao.

Currently, the surviving species were Orcs and Homo sapiens. Orcs, with their beast genes, adapted well to the primitive environment, outnumbering and outpowering Homo sapiens. Orcs split into various subgroups like wolves, foxes, tigers, cats, dogs, bears, and others, including rats and ants, making up 21 races.

On the fourth day, Orcs developed their own languages and began forming large tribal gatherings, creating the first Orc city. Orc civilization sprouted as they established their own culture, language, and began trading.

The players who created these groups had died but remained in the game as bystanders, observing their ethnic groups' development from a god's perspective. They opened live broadcasts for others to witness the magnificent history of ethnic development.

This true history of racial development, with each race having its own independent soul and feelings, captivated players and viewers alike. The Orcs became the continent's overlords, pushing humans to the southernmost regions.

By the fifth day, Homo sapiens had transformed into modern humans over 50,000 years. The original Homo sapiens were gone, with current humans living on the continent for eons in their memories. The human population grew from one hundred to tens of thousands, spreading across the southern zone.

The northern Orc tribes began developing city-states and civilizations, and humans started interacting with them. The emergence of bronze tools accelerated Orc civilization, leading to their first king.
