Seeing the strange appearance of the new humans in the nuclear world, Xi Tong couldn't help but wonder: What is a human? Is it the appearance that determines the attributes of a "human", or the soul?
Good-looking appearances are all the same, but interesting souls are unique.
It is wrong to judge people by their appearance, even in a small area like the earth, let alone all the worlds.
But everything has two sides and cannot be generalized.
Take the current world of Conferred Gods as an example. There are many human beings in the Great Business, but as time goes by, more and more monsters come out of the deep mountains and old forests, pay allegiance to the human king, and then live and multiply in the canonized mountains, forests, rivers and lakes.
Not only the demon race, but also the Yaksha, Rakshasa, Asura and other races in the secret realm all loyal to the human king and became vassals of Dashang.
Coupled with Xi Tong's efforts to build the Great Shangfang City and make it a trading point for the system of all heavens and all realms, there are more and more god-level creatures from all heavens and all realms.
Most of them just come and go, but some of them have taken root here and even brought their families with them.
In other words, there are many monsters and monsters emerging in Dashang nowadays. Although humans are the main body, they are definitely not the only ones.
However, the great merchants prospered and prospered, the rivers and seas were clear, the residents were prosperous, and the country was prosperous and the people were strong.
The most important of these is the "shape-changing talisman" jointly promoted by Xi Tong and Tongtian Cult Leader. No matter what monsters or monsters, they can be transformed into human form through this talisman.
On the surface, the world of Dashang is all "human", at least all humanoid creatures.
Dashang placed too much emphasis on appearance, which meant judging people based on appearance. However, this did not arouse resentment and hatred from other creatures. On the contrary, those alien races had a strong desire for the shape-changing talisman.
The demons who have successfully transformed are willing to work hard in the human world in order to make money and buy the transformation talisman for their newborn cubs.
Because they know that the transformation talisman is not a cage mouth or a bridle, but an amulet and a passport.
With the human form, one can live openly in the city, enjoy the protection of the human king, and enjoy the prosperity of the human world.
But once they lose their human form, they are no different from livestock or wild beasts and will be hunted.
The law of the jungle is an instinctive memory deeply rooted in the bones of the monster clan. Even if they live in the deep mountains and old forests, they are still afraid of being eaten by other monsters due to negligence.
No one will protect their safety.
The parents who give birth to and raise them cannot - the biggest difference between animals and humans is that they are born without raising them.
Neither can nature, because the food chain is originally the embodiment of nature's will.
The only one who can protect them is the human king.
The most important thing is that there are countless saints behind the King of Humans, who are powerful and virtuous all over the world.
No living being can provoke the Human King, and no living being can trample on the rules set by the Human King.
In Dashang, even gods who commit crimes will be captured, and those who resist will be killed. The most important thing is that if there is a god at your head, you will not be able to escape any crime.
After thinking through this section, Xi Tong suddenly became enlightened.
The so-called human form is just a symbol of identity, like an ID card, household registration book, and green card. It is also a physiological symbol and is inseparable from birth.
Just like whether a sewer manhole cover is square or round, as long as it is consistent, the functions are the same. There is no need to distinguish between good and bad.
If all people have three eyes and four arms, then those with two eyes and two arms become aliens and are no longer "human".
As Fabre said in "Insects" - what we call beauty, ugliness, and dirt are meaningless in nature.
Therefore, it doesn’t matter what the new humans in the nuclear world look like, as long as you like them.
After all, they use the breath secreted from their bodies to identify friends and relatives of the same race, not their appearance.
Having said that, their appearance is very similar, almost exactly the same, and you can't tell them apart based on this.
At the same time, the best among the new humans in the nuclear world gradually became idols, worshiped and imitated by other members of their own race.
For example, imitate octopuses and spiders, analyze the mysteries of their body composition, decipher the formulas of cell growth and composition, and then apply it to yourself.
As a result, a new human race was born with eight arms and eight weapons. The eight arms were very useful for both attack and defense.
Moreover, the gland's ejection hole can be planted on the arm to emit poison unexpectedly during battle.
The eight arms can also be ejected like a crossbow, enhancing its mobility and displacement capabilities.
This evolutionary direction can immediately improve combat effectiveness, and is especially suitable for newcomers, so it has many fans. The discoverer of this formula also received rewards from the city and received a large number of points.
Other new humans also look for external insects, animals, plants and even minerals based on their own professional characteristics, analyze their structures and components, and then derive evolutionary formulas.
For example, the power of ants, the jumping of fleas, the vitality of cockroaches...
Understand nature, enter life, discover mysteries, and grasp the truth.
This is the evolutionary path of new humans in a nuclear peaceful world.
Due to the strong radiation in the nuclear flat world, the surviving creatures are also exposed to high-intensity radiation. Most of them collapse or even die, but there are also a small number that mutate or even evolve, and they evolve in different directions.
Under normal circumstances, biological evolution moves in one direction and has an obvious trend.
But now, evolution has become disordered.
All directions, all possibilities.
This provides new humans with a wider range of materials.
At the same time, after mastering the formula of the secret of life, the new humans began to use their own glands to synthesize special substances.
A substance between life and non-life.
They can absorb external energy and matter on their own, causing themselves to continuously replicate, and grow, grow, grow through replication...
They don't have any thinking or consciousness, all they have is the instinct to continuously absorb energy and matter and reproduce themselves.
This is the simplest and most primitive...life...
No, it’s not considered life, it’s just organic matter at best.
Even so, it is a milestone-like leap, a gradual change from matter to life.
As for the motivation of the new humans to release this substance to the outside world...
They deduced or conceived an unfinished life formula, or they only had the inspiration for the life formula, and they had no clue about the rest.
They didn't have time to deduce and study countless possibilities one by one, so they released them all at once and let them evolve on their own in nature.
As a result, new species began to sprout around the areas where new humans lived.
The vast majority of them live and die, being strangled by the powerful radiation force, but there are always a handful of organic matter that may be born with hardened life, or may happen to mutate.
They survived tenaciously and grew stronger and stronger.
They constantly absorb the energy and matter around them, and reproduce themselves driven by instinct. One life brings two, two gives birth to four, and four gives rise to all things.
In this way, the new human beings centered on the area of activity and continued to invade and spread around in the form of sparks, gradually becoming a prairie fire.
It was during this process that Xi Tong witnessed the birth of life, the evolution of species, and the progress of civilization...
