Chapter 9: " Cycle of Life"

During this process, Tian Dao would enter the primordial world of mountains and seas to play around with his life every hundred thousand years or so.

After all, Tian Dao is not an ordinary Heavenly Dao. Although he possesses the Heavenly Dao system, he still retains all the emotions and thoughts belonging to life.

He is full of curiosity about the birth and natural evolution of the first life in this world.

Moreover, Tian Dao also needs to have more experience so that he will not become lonely during the long years, and can always keep his true self clear and his consciousness not affected by the divinity.

Tian Dao might have the system edit the wonderful scenes that appeared in the long evolution process of primitive life in units of tens of thousands of years into a movie, and watch this moving and indomitable hymn to life.

Or you can send a wisp of consciousness into the world of mountains and seas, experience their short lives personally from the perspective of primitive life, and even create new species.

Or you could use the authority of space to create small worlds and small spaces in the void sea to play sandbox games.

For example, in the second millionth year of the Primordial Era, Tian Dao created a small world with a radius of hundreds of millions of miles, in which a blue planet was rotating eternally in the center of the world.

That was the new Earth he copied based on his memories of his previous life, it could also be called the primordial Mountain and Sea Earth.

The situation of this mountain and sea earth is the same as that of the mountain and sea continent. It is in a wild and primitive era, and countless ancient creatures dominate the earth.

······

On the one hand, Tian Dao's consciousness of the Way of Heaven covers the entire world, controlling the origin of the world and the arrival of the laws of heaven and earth through the Way of Heaven system.

Subtly changing the natural environment, prompting life to evolve continuously in order to adapt to environmental changes;

On the other hand, some of the consciousness that Tian Dao separated out split into billions and turned into leaders of various life groups in the primordial mountain and sea worlds.

Personally guide these groups to better adapt to the changing environment and move towards the most suitable evolutionary path for each of them.

With the cooperation of these two factors, the primordial World experienced an evolutionary frenzy in the next one or two million years, just like the Cambrian explosion of life on Earth.

As time goes by, old life either becomes extinct or tries to adapt to the changing environment and evolve into new species.

New species emerged one after another, and the dominance of algae life in mountains, seas and continents was quickly replaced, and they even became food for other life forms.

Just like the evolution of life on Earth, primitive multicellular animals such as flagellates began to evolve step by step.

Molluscs, cnidarians, arthropods, chordates, primitive vertebrates and other life species appear one by one.

Trilobites, coral polyps, primitive jellyfish, arthropods, horseshoe crabs, primitive fish...

Over a million years, the number of life species in the mountain and sea world has exploded.

During the Cambrian period of the Earth, all primitive species, both existing and non-existent, appeared in the mountains, seas and continents.

After all, the environment of the Primordial mountain and Eternal sea continent is far from comparable to that of the Earth, and all kinds of species may evolve.

Although the primordial Continent is large, the variety and number of species are even greater.

There are only so many areas and resources that can sustain life, and they are fixed.

In order to obtain more living environment and resources, and for the continuation and reproduction of the ethnic group.

Thus, competition for survival began between different species populations.

Some life forms have evolved various organs that are conducive to preying on other life forms and have become primitive predators.

The cruel law of the survival of the fittest was vividly demonstrated in the primitive era.

However, it is precisely the law of survival of the fittest that further accelerates the evolution of life, allowing various forms of life to emerge more quickly.

In this era, there is no concept of beauty and ugliness in life, and survival is the first criterion for everything.

Whether it is to better avoid predators or to better hunt prey.

Life has evolved into various strange shapes of bodies and limbs, but they are extremely advantageous for survival.

In order to enhance defense and avoid predators, some life forms have evolved layers of hard shells to protect themselves;

Or they could evolve limbs that are easier to escape from, increasing their speed attributes;

Or they may evolve skin that changes with the environment to better hide themselves.

In order to better find and prey, predators have evolved multiple eyes and good eyesight.

They also evolved sharp teeth and powerful forelimbs to tear the bodies of their prey...

There are all kinds of strange creatures with eight eyes and six legs, nine tentacles and seven heads, etc.

Under such pressure of survival competition, all life is trying its best to evolve.

In addition, I don't know if it's because the gravity of the Primordial Continent is greater, but the body size of life in the primordial World has been evolving towards a larger direction during the evolution process.

For example, primitive ancient fish that are several miles long, terrifying shrimps that are hundreds of meters high, and so on.

After all, the primordial Continent is too vast and huge, and the atmosphere and the earth are trillions of kilometers thick!

Although Tian Dao used the laws of heaven and earth to weaken most of the influence of basic physical rules.

But its gravity is more than ten times greater than that of the Earth.

It's extremely terrifying!

Bigger is more beautiful, stronger is better; these are the absolute truths of this primitive age.

While animals were striving to evolve, plant life also evolved from the original algae to mosses, ferns and other types of plants, and its footprints began to move from the ocean to the land.

In the 2.85 million year of the Protozoan Period, some animals were at a disadvantage in the process of marine evolution.

One is to find a new living environment, and the other is under Tian Dao's interference.

Then, following plant life, they also gradually evolved organs for landing on land and surviving.

The life in the primordial world completed the evolutionary process of life on Earth that took billions of years in just over two million years.

Of course, the evolution of life is not all smooth sailing.

Just like the disasters that caused the previous two mass extinctions of life.

During these millions of years, life on the primordial Continent has encountered several major crises and disasters.

Some of these disasters were caused by people allowing their own actions to happen naturally.

For example, countless huge meteorites with diameters of tens of thousands of kilometers fall from the sky, causing all kinds of horrific disasters across an entire sea area.

World-destroying tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, continental plate shifts, earthquakes...

Thus, a small-scale extinction of life similar to the extinction of the dinosaurs on Earth occurred;

Another example is the periodic changes in natural climate, with large and small ice ages coming one after another, freezing everything;

Or perhaps cosmic ray bursts pass through mountains, seas and continents from time to time, wiping out countless lives in an area, and so on.

There are also mass extinctions of life caused by Tian Dao's interference.

For example, some fungi or viruses can undergo huge mutations and become super viruses with the slightest interference from the Heavenly Dao system.

However, other life forms did not have time to evolve corresponding antibodies, resulting in an unprecedented plague that quickly swept across the entire mountain and sea continent ecosystem.

As a result, during that period, the Primordial Continent was littered with corpses, and rotten corpses piled up like mountains.

But life is tenacious after all.

After most of the life forms died, the remaining ones eventually evolved corresponding antibodies and successfully survived the era of plague ravaged by the super virus.

And it left fragments of memory deep in the blood genes to warn future generations.

Allow future generations to evolve and respond faster when the next world plague comes!

And after every mass extinction of life, the life that survives the disaster will reproduce again.

In just tens of thousands of years, the primordial Continent will usher in a new era of prosperity for life.

Then, after tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, new disasters and catastrophes will come.

It's like a great cycle of life!

Or... like the process of sowing in spring and harvesting in autumn!

And every reincarnation of life brings a huge origin of the world to the world of mountains and seas!
