Chapter 85 Recalling History
Xinyun looked at Lao Hua in surprise and listened to him continuing to tell: "The coordinates that the mother world originally wanted to escape can no longer be understood. But at least it is not the galaxy we live in now, this planet. The ancestors would land here because...the escape failed."
"How did it fail?"
"Countless people died in battle or were infected by viruses. At the last moment, the ancestors built countless spacecraft, intending to give up this planet and live in a new home. But... although the spacecraft successfully took off, they did not reach their destination. The entire fleet deviated from their course during their voyage and was lost in the endless sea of stars. After sailing in the vast universe for a long time, they finally arrived here, this... in the third spiral arm of the Milky Way, a desolate corner."
"But... it's still here and I've survived successfully, right? It should be difficult to find a planet in the universe with an environment suitable for survival."
"No." Lao Hua's wry smile even more: "It's not successful. Surviving... is just surviving. But there is a huge difference between the earth's environment and the mother world. So... the ancestors who came to the earth could not adapt to the environment here and lost all their superpowers."
"But we are not..." Xinyun was interrupted by Lao Hua's wave of her hand: "You listen to me first."
"The ancestors without superpowers faced an extremely harsh environment compared to the mother world, almost like a group of barbarians who eat raw meat and drink blood..." Lao Hua smiled bitterly: "Do you know that in the original mother world, the ancestors had no language, and all communication relied on spiritual communication. Similarly, the mother world had no words, because history and knowledge were passed down by the will of the priests. So... After arriving in this world, all the ancestors found in horror that they could not even achieve the most basic communication and communication between each other."
"But...what about the spaceship? They can at least continue to live in the spaceship! Isn't this problem not happening during such a long voyage?" Xinyun asked with a frown.
"There are no spaceships." Lao Hua sighed: "They... did not land with their ancestors. For example... the one we are in now."
"Why?" Xinyun frowned.
Lao Hua's eyes were filled with sadness: "The ancestors and the humans on Earth are not on the same technological route as the current earthly humans. There is no mechanical technology in the mother world, and everything is accomplished by various biological technology. This huge living body under our feet, which we call the "seed" is the spaceship in the mother world."
"It has life and will, but does not have high wisdom. It can only be implemented according to the established settings before departure, or at most...execute emergency plans in certain situations. When arriving on Earth, the seeds realized that the environment here and the mother world were completely different from the originally scheduled destination. Especially...gravity!"
"Because the gravity of the earth is far beyond the expected level, the anti-gravity organs on the seeds cannot support them to land at a safe speed. This means... if they land directly and hit the surface, all the ancestors inside will die. So the seeds made a decision - during the landing process, they would wrap some of the ancestors in their own cells and throw them out."
"In the process, many people died, but some lucky ones survived. But when they climbed up from the ground and looked at the distant sky, the seeds fell from the sky, sinking into the deep crust and could no longer be found... what would they feel?" Lao Hua's voice became more and more desolate.
The heart is silent. The scene depicted by Lao Hua really made her feel empathetic.
"What's even more tragic is that the ancestors lost not only those unique abilities, but also... fertility." Lao Hua sighed: "Most of the priests should be clear that the ancestors lost the ability to reproduce. But I think you, including you, should not understand this fact. Why did the ability to reproduce... be lost?"
"Yes. I was really curious about this before." Xinyun nodded.
"That's because... the ancestors did not rely on the gender to reproduce at all!" Lao Hua suddenly looked up and a light flashed between his eyes: "You also saw these biological grooves in the seeds, right? These... are the breeding tools of ancestors when they were in the mother world."
"What?!" Xinyun turned her head in disbelief and looked at Jiang Xiao, but saw Jiang Xiao nodding: "That's right. That's it."
"Look, I said, I will not lie to you." Lao Hua smiled: "In the mother world, all individuals are born from the trough of the living body. The number of all ranks and how much they need to be produced is determined by the consul. As I said before, it is orderly and step by step."
He sighed: "But... without seeds, it means there is no living body trough. When the remaining ancestors were about to die out, they fortunately... encountered a group of Homo sapiens who walked out of Africa."
"They were surprised to find that the indigenous people on this planet actually had their similar physiological structures and genes. And those wise men who had just walked out of Africa were surprised to find these...they thought they were of the same kind."
Old Hua paused, and a hint of helplessness and joke flashed in his eyes: "So, the ancestors naturally - conquered and massacred by these indigenous peoples."
"What?!"
Xinyun was startled first, and then quickly reacted.
Without spiritual connection and language, then there will naturally be no way of communication among ancestors and a perfect organization cannot be formed.
Without the ability to rank and innate abilities, the bodies of the ancestors are naturally far inferior to those primitive Homo sapiens who have been hunting for many years.
"Can you imagine?" Lao Hua sighed: "A race with the ability to travel long-range interstellar planet will be massacred by the indigenous people who are far behind in many thousands of years on the local planet, and even... become a **..."
"sex……**?"
Xinyun forced herself to replies these two words with disgust.
"Don't use modern civilization values to evaluate primitive humans." Lao Hua shrugged: "You must know that they have just escaped from wild animals. They slaughtered males in hostile populations and used females as fertility machines. This kind of thing continues to happen on this land even hundreds of years ago."
"you're right."
Xinyun nodded dejectedly.
"So, that trace of blood was saved by chance until it became an inseparable part of the modern human genes as a long time passed. After that, you all knew what happened - after tens of thousands of years of evolution, some of the genes from the mother world have gradually adapted to the environment of this world and regained their original abilities. And those who have these genes are us - the awakened ones."
"Why do you know so much?" Jiang Xiao suddenly interrupted Lao Hua: "Although the memory of history can be kept in the genes, after so many years of dilution, it has long become countless fragments. Just reading the genes of other awakened people is definitely not enough to make you piece together such a complete historical picture."
"Yes." Lao Hua nodded: "I can understand these things because...I have come into contact with a seed. Of course, it is not the one we are in now. It is from then on that...I began to devote myself to establishing an organization like the academy, and I must...find another seed."
"Again?"
"Yes. Again." Lao Hua nodded: "The seed I happened to find was at the bottom of the Dead Sea. I think that maybe it was the shallowest buried seed on the entire earth. But... the landing process of that seed was not very smooth, almost most of it was damaged, leaving only the core neural nodes. Fortunately, the nerve node was preserved very well and could still connect with the awakened ones he came into contact with and transmit information. It was from that seed that I got all the information. To be precise, half an hour ago, I was the only awakened one on this planet who knew all the historical truths."
"I understand. In other words, you have long known what you want..." Jiang Xiao's brows frowned.
"Yes." Lao Hua laughed proudly: "And you should... know what I want now."
"What are you talking about? Jiang Xiao?" Xinyun turned around and looked at Jiang Xiao in confusion: "What can he want... be?"
"Mother World." Before Jiang Xiao could answer, Lao Hua had already said to Xinyun lightly: "What I want... is the mother world, the world where we originated."
"How is this possible!" Xinyun looked at Lao Hua with an idiot's eyes: "Are you crazy? Haven't you said that the seeds drifted to the earth because of their deviation and departed from the originally scheduled destination? Now you... want to fly back with this kind of seeds? And that mother world... hasn't it been occupied by the infected bodies of the virus? The ancestors of that year could only be forced to escape from that world. What can you do to clean them up?"
"No. You are wrong, be careful." Lao Hua raised a finger and shook it gently in front of him: "I have never said that I plan to return to the original mother world... What I want to do is to build a new mother world on this planet! A mother world that is as efficient, accurate, stable and orderly as she was before!"
A holy expression gradually appeared on his face: "Do you know, why are there so many sins in this world? War... Killing... Why?"
"Tell me yourself, don't let me guess." Xinyun looked impatient.
"Of course it's because of desire! Because there will always be people in the world who are not satisfied with their existing status quo." Lao Hua sighed, but his expression was even more serious: "Power...wealth...status...even the right to mating...it can be said that all the sins in this world come because of desire. What I have to do now is to clear the root of these sins!"
"So, how do you plan to clear it? How do you build a new mother world?" Xinyun snorted coldly: "You are the only one?"
"Of course not." Lao Hua shook his head solemnly: "As long as you have seeds, you can achieve my goal."
As he said that, he stood up, walked to the wall, and gently stretched out his hand to touch it: "Seed... is not just a spaceship, but also a self-sufficient ecosystem. As long as it can provide enough energy, it can continuously produce new individuals - what I mean is not an awakened person like us who only has a trace of bloodline, but a 100% bloodline of the mother world like our ancestors tens of thousands of years ago! At the same time, once the environmental transformation system within the seed is activated, plus enough time... the seed can transform the earth... into an environment that is exactly the same as the mother world!"
"You're crazy." Xinyun looked at Lao Hua in disbelief, completely unable to believe that the person in front of her was the taciturn tavern owner who had known him for many years.
"If you have such an idea, I can only say that you... are too polluted by the bloodline of Homo sapiens. Think about it... how beautiful the new mother world in the future will be! Civilians, craftsmen, warriors, priests, consuls... Everyone stays in their due position and does their due jobs. Society runs like a machine, never stops, never damages... No one wants to climb to a higher position, and no one will fall to a lower position... Only such a society is..."
"It's a stagnant pool!"
Jiang Xiao suddenly spoke, interrupting Lao Hua's endless talk.
"You mentioned the word...mechanical." Jiang Xiao looked at Lao Hua coldly: "So, do you really think that if you live like a mechanical one, it is an interesting thing?"
"why not?"
"Sorry, I don't think so." Jiang Xiao's face was full of disgust: "If you think such a world is good, you have the freedom to think so. But you don't have the power to make the whole world what you want - because in that world, there may be everything, but there is no hope! This is really a damn ironic paradox!"
"Everyone, at birth... no, is determined by the trajectory of his life before he is born. What kind of knowledge inheritance will he obtain, what kind of work he will do, and how long does he live? This kind of society is considered a bullshit beauty!" Jiang Xiao said the more he became excited: "Desire? I would rather change the word. That kind of longing for the future and hope for life are the driving force for this society to move forward! And your perverted and paranoid plan will never succeed!"
"It will never be possible to succeed?" Lao Hua suddenly laughed: "You are wrong, I already... will succeed soon."
