Chapter 7: " From Evolution to Essence: Life’s Innate Nature

As time goes by, various cell populations continue to divide, differentiate, and evolve.

These descendant cells, which have reproduced for countless generations, have long lost the powerful survival and adaptability of the original cells and have become ordinary cells that can only constantly adapt to the environment.

However, the environment is not static, and the climate of mountains, seas and continents has the ability to self-regulate and change.

For example, a sea area with a constant temperature all year round may suddenly encounter a cold current or a large iceberg may drift by, causing the sea water temperature to drop by several degrees.

The cell structures of countless cellular life forms were frozen and became part of the ice floe.

Only a small number of cells can evolve again and survive this cold period tenaciously.

They constantly devour the corpses of their own kind to obtain a large amount of energy, resist the cold, adapt to the cold, and evolve cold resistance.

But this local environmental change is far less than the overall environmental change of the Primordial Mountains and Eternal Seas continent.

After more than 500,000 years of torrential rain, the dark clouds that had always covered the mountains and seas finally dissipated.

That would be a disaster for cells that are used to darkness and lower temperatures.

The first mass extinction of life sweeping across the vast mountain and sea continent has occurred!

Under the direct rays of the scorching sun, the rise in temperature caused the extinction of 90% of the cell populations wandering on the sea surface.

Their tiny carcasses litter the ocean, making the water turbid.

In desperation, most of the remaining cell populations that did not become extinct headed towards the depths of the ocean.

Find a living environment as mild as before.

But some populations still occurred in the sea area and underwent new evolution.

Multiple cells of their group combined by chance, and after countless generations of death, reproduction, and death...

This group evolved first into multicellular life with stronger vitality, adapted to the new warm environment, and was able to continue to survive on the sea surface!

At the same time, the law of the jungle among different cell populations will also promote and accelerate the evolutionary process.

The ever-changing environment forces life to move forward on the road of evolution and not dare to stop.

Because for cell populations that stop evolving or evolve slowly, the only fate that awaits them is death and extinction.

Countless kinds of life strive to grow and evolve in various environments, bringing vitality and endless possibilities to the vast world of Primordial Mountains and Eternal Seas.

On the road of evolution, countless lives have followed one after another and constantly struggled with the natural environment.

The tragic roar and unyielding cry of death play a hymn to life!

In just five or six hundred thousand years, all the seas of Primordial Mountains and Eternal Seas Continent had traces of various cell groups.

And in the following hundreds of thousands of years, after Tian Dao's several interventions, scattering countless drops of the world's origin containing the laws of creation, life, and evolution, multicellular life evolved at a faster pace.

Finally, after the 1.39 millionth year of the Primordial Period, the first primitive life forms appeared, such as azure moss, stone corals, violet kelp, and moon lichen. These ancient plants absorbed the radiance from the Sun and the Moon, performed photosynthesis, and began to enrich the oxygen levels across the Primordial Mountains and Eternal Seas Continent.

This triggered the second great extinction event of life.

With the exception of certain anaerobic organisms that thrived in isolated environments, all other anaerobic life forms were gradually wiped out.

As a result, during this phase of the Primordial Era, organisms like azure moss and moon lichen dominated the ecosystems of the Primordial Mountains and Eternal Seas Continent without challenge.

Elsewhere in the vast expanse of the Mountain and Sea World, the first primordial creatures of various origins—such as silicon-based, sulfur-based, elemental, electromagnetic, and void life forms—began to emerge, marking the dawn of a new era in the world's history.

In the future, the offspring life forms evolved from them will inevitably compete for the position of overlord in the world of Primordial Mountains and Eternal Seas.

And fierce wars broke out!

…

On the other side of the Primordial Mountains and Eternal Seas world, where most life is evolving at its best.

However, due to Tian Dao's intervention, some of the original cells took a different path.

After the flesh and blood created by the system exploded and splashed, this part of the original cells combined with the innate matter scattered all over the world when the world was created!

Innate matter was produced from the virtual to the real by the power of all laws in the Core period of the world before the creation of the world.

It is the embodiment of the laws of heaven and earth, the first substance after the creation of the Primordial Mountains and Eternal Seas world, and its status is noble and sacred.

The primordial cells merged with various innate substances. Their powerful evolutionary ability and immortality allowed them to successfully absorb the laws and conceptual power contained in the innate substances, obtain the latter's innate status, and transform them from matter to life!

"Carrying the innate status and conforming to the laws of heaven and earth, one is an innate god, born sacred!"

Gods can hold the power of heaven and earth, mobilize the laws of heaven and earth, sort out the order of the world, and educate all living things.

It can maintain the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, lakes, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and ensure that they operate stably according to the laws of nature.

If the chaotic gods and demons are the sons of chaos, then the innate gods are the sons of the world!

In addition, they who possess innate status can slightly see through the fetal membrane of the world and sense the breath of chaos within, thereby absorbing a trace of chaotic energy.

In this way, innate things can help the world obtain more origins!

In this way, innate things can help the world obtain more origins!

For the world, the innate gods are the best assistants and can greatly promote the development and upgrading of the world.

It can protect the world's internal environment from destruction and increase the speed of accumulation of the world's origin.

The probability of a small thousand world with innate gods being upgraded to a middle thousand world is much greater than that of a world without innate gods.

Therefore, the emergence of the innate gods is the most important step in Tian Dao's creation of all things.

As soon as the words were spoken, all the laws of heaven and earth became apparent, and countless Taoist patterns and divine symbols emerged.

Around these original cells that occupy the innate status and authority, a number of innate Dao restricted areas are formed.

Here there is the innate energy formed by the degradation of the origin of the world, and the laws of various systems are directly revealed. It is the best place to breed innate gods.

The primordial cells madly absorbed the innate spiritual energy and continued to divide and evolve.

At the same time, the breath of laws is imprinted deep in the cells, allowing them to gradually develop their own spiritual intelligence.

Gradually, the innate Taoist body embryo unique to each law and god is formed, such as a human body with a snake tail, a dragon head and a human body, and so on.

Of course, not all primordial cells that fuse with innate matter have the opportunity to become innate gods.

Some of the original cells turned into innate spiritual root seedlings and innate spiritual treasure prototypes under Gu Dao's intervention.

For example, the first ray of light and the first yang energy that falls into the Sun.

After integrating the two concepts of light and yang, the laws of heaven and earth, they were separated into two parts by Gu Dao.

One part is used to breed the innate gods, the future sun god;

The other part became one of the best innate spiritual roots in the Primordial Mountains and Eternal Seas world, the Sun Fusang Tree.

After the creation of the world, not much innate matter remained in the Primordial Mountains and Eternal Seas world.

In the end, there were a total of 180,000 innate gods, some weak and some strong, in the world of the Primordial Mountains and Eternal Seas, being nurtured everywhere, representing the main laws of heaven and earth.

However, the number of innate spiritual roots and innate spiritual treasures far exceeds that of innate gods.

The innate spiritual roots alone are divided into ten extreme grades, three hundred and sixty-five upper grades, three thousand middle grades, and one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred lower grades.

The number of innate spiritual treasures is also just as much.

These spiritual treasures and spiritual roots are either companions of the innate gods or scattered throughout the Primordial Mountains and Eternal Seas of the world, waiting for the destined people in the future.

This classification was made by Tian Dao based on the levels of innate items in his previous life in the Primordial World.

Of course, the innate spiritual roots and innate spiritual treasures in the world of Primordial Mountains and Eternal Seas are called innate only because they have innate status.

Its actual power level and grade are naturally incomparable to those innate spiritual roots and spiritual treasures in the prehistoric world.

However, as the Primordial Mountains and Eternal Seas world continues to upgrade, the actual power and grade of these innate spiritual roots and spiritual treasures will also increase accordingly.

Tian Dao believes that one day they will be as famous as the innate spiritual roots and spiritual treasures in the prehistoric world, spreading throughout the heavens and becoming famous in all realms!
