Chapter 6 Wisdom Trial, Three Treasures of Civilization (Revision)
"Run away!"
"Can't escape! We are just the size of his hair!"
Countless fleeing insect apes collapsed on the ground.
While everyone was screaming, a young insect ape looked up at the sky stubbornly, "You giant beast, are you coming to eat us too? You killed my father, you killed my mother, you killed me
Brother, why are we so weak..."
Xu Zhi lowered his head, somewhat surprised that this young insect ape was brave and dared to question him.
Then, it’s your choice.
Xu Zhi just stretched out his hand gently and put the insect ape in the palm of his hand.
The young insect ape's mind went blank for a moment.
The palm of this huge creature seems to be an endless continent, but it is only the size of a delicate palm print.
It raised its head again, and the eyes of the giant giant were like ovens, like the bright sun in the sky. The huge face was bathed in the holy white light, and the face could not be seen clearly, with a majestic and vast divinity.
Xu Zhi's face was blocked by the insect nest, so naturally they could only see the blurry face that exuded a hazy light.
Xu Zhi dragged this tiny insect ape with one hand, his eyes calm: "Gilgamesh, do you want to change everything?"
The insect ape suddenly trembled and screamed loudly on the palm of his hand, "You can actually communicate! What kind of giant beast are you! In this world, there is actually a ten-thousand-foot giant with wisdom! How can such a perfect existence exist!?"
He couldn't help but tremblingly said: "Also, you call me: Gilgamesh?"
"Name is also one of the manifestations of wisdom."
Xu Zhi dragged him with his palm, placed it flat in front of his eyes, and answered calmly.
Gilgamesh stood on the palm of his hand, looking at the giant beast's huge crystal pupils that were comparable to the sun and the moon, and suddenly said: "We can all communicate! So they are the same species, both intelligent species, why, why don't you save us
!You are obviously so powerful! So majestic!"
They didn't know what they were, they just thought they were intelligent beasts similar to these beasts, and Xu Zhi didn't intend to explain anything.
Xu Zhi dragged him with his palms and strode across the mountains, rivers and rivers.
A large number of trees were flattened. He let this weak insect ape look down at the entire world from his palm, and a loud voice resounded throughout the sky.
"Look at this world, every species is equal. You are the same as every plant and every animal. Why should I just save you? Just because you are intelligent?"
Gilgamesh was speechless.
Suddenly, he became desperate and shouted suddenly: Then why did you come to us?
Xu Zhi said: "No one can save you, and don't expect anyone to save you. Only you can save yourself, but I can give you civilized means and you can save yourself."
“Civilization, what is that?”
Gilgamesh looked down in shock.
The strong wind blew, and for the first time, he overlooked this vast green land from the perspective of the clouds. Mountains and rivers were all under his eyes. Countless beasts fled and roared under the feet of the intelligent beasts, forming a vast scene that shocked the extreme.
.
What a fantastic high-altitude scenery this is.
What a terrifying and enviable great power this is!
"What is civilization, you ask?"
Xu Zhi never thought of explaining their problems to this new race.
He thought for a while and gave his answer, "Civilization is fire, civilization is knowledge, civilization is order, and civilization is the strongest force that intelligent species use to protect themselves."
"Civilization is the power that we intelligent species use to protect ourselves?" Gilgamesh murmured.
Xu Zhi walked back to the Grand Canyon, gently put Gilgamesh on his shoulders, and then took out the miniature potted plant: Welcome Pine from the backpack on his back, dug up the soil, and buried it on the ground.
This welcoming pine, which is only 60 centimeters long, is winding and aged, but for this tiny piece of land, it is already an endless sacred tree towering into the clouds. Looking up, you will see clouds and mist shrouding the huge winding tree.
The tree trunk has no end in sight.
"Have you seen this tree I planted? If you want to gain the power of civilization, show your courage and climb the sacred tree. This is my test for you, a test of wisdom and courage...
"
Xu Zhi placed the metal silver giant sword customized by Taobao, a match soaked in kerosene, and a transparent capsule of termite sap that had failed before, on the top of the tree.
"These are the three treasures of civilization."
"The Sword of Damocles is a weapon to protect civilization. Unlike the savage species that spread all over the earth, the intelligent species can use the power of tools."
"The torch is burning with scorching flames. It is the bridge that maintains civilization. Mastering fire is the origin of civilization."
"There is also the last bottle of liquid, which is the blood of strength. Only the bravest warriors in the world can drink it. If you cannot survive death, if you survive it, you will have unparalleled power!"
"If you want to change the fate of your race, before the torch goes out, climb the sacred tree and obtain the three treasures of civilization."
Xu Zhi gently placed the young insect ape on the ground, and then, amidst its shock, he strode across the mountains and rivers and left directly.
"Cell division is accelerated, a hundred times!"
As soon as Xu Zhi walked out, he immediately gave orders to the insect nest.
The entire land, which had returned to normal speed, is now experiencing accelerated cell division.
In an instant, the entire land began to move crazily and rapidly, constantly forming various afterimages. Trees grew and withered rapidly, animals turned into afterimages, and they grew old, sick and died rapidly.
That match, he added kerosene, can burn for about thirty seconds and then go out.
But for that land that has been accelerated for hundreds of years, these thirty seconds are equivalent to several days before it goes out.
In other words, his sacred tree test lasted many days.
"Time is relative and reflects the movement of matter... Their brain nerve cells accelerate a hundred times, and body cell division accelerates a hundred times. For them, time accelerates a hundred times.
A match that can burn for a moment can burn for several days compared to them. In their world view, a match is not a fireworks for a moment, but a torch that can burn for several days."
Xu Zhi remembered that sentence:
Small knowledge is not as good as great knowledge, and small years are not as good as big ones. How can you know this by ridicule? The morning bacteria don’t know Hui Shuo! The crickets don’t know Spring and Autumn!!
What they thought was a long time was just a short moment in my eyes.
After Xu Zhi left, he used his binoculars to clearly see the scene under the sacred tree. The young insect ape called a few friends and quickly climbed up the sacred tree together with a determined look on their faces.
In Xu Zhi's eyes, these little ants climbed up the tree so fast that only afterimages were left. In just a few seconds, they fell countless times, and then struggled to climb up. In more than ten seconds, they were already there.
Successfully climbed to the top of the sacred tree.
But for them, countless days have passed, and they have failed countless times.
They moved too fast.
At the top of the sacred tree, standing on the lush green canopy, Gilgamesh held his sword high, as if he said something or did something, and then turned into an afterimage.
Xu Zhi was curious and couldn't help but ask the insect nest: "What are they talking about?"
The Vice-brain of the Insect Nest called up the scene just now for Xu Zhi.
"Intelligent giants, there are such terrifying giant intelligent species living in the world! They are super giants that are as high as ten thousand feet!"
Gilgamesh conquered the sacred tree, raised the Sword of Damocles high, and waved it above his head.
He looked down at the scenery of living beings under the sacred tree, his black hair fluttering in the wind, the bone armor on his shoulders shining black, his resolute face suddenly full of confidence,
"We also have wisdom. In the future, we will be like that intelligent beast! Every clan member has great divine power! They all have the power to make countless giant beasts escape! I must lead the clan to stand at the top and let the civilized people
Fire spreads all over the earth.”
This moment is recorded for eternity.
Thousands of years later, there once existed the oldest Sumerian dynasty in this land that was extremely prosperous and then short-lived. People discovered from archaeology the Sumerian historical hymn "Genesis" they wrote for the great king.
This oldest document, Sumerian Ancient History records:
[The giant beast of wisdom, ten thousand feet tall, covered with white radiance, and with a divine face, came from crushing the earth and mountains, lowered the sacred tree, and set up a test of wisdom. It used the three treasures of civilization, the torch, the holy sword, and the blood of strength.
