"Do you know who these alien gods are and what their purpose is?"
Su Ze's question caused the mother tree to fall into a long silence.
As a Blue Star person, Su Ze knew nothing about the universe, and even Mother Tree didn't know where to start.
After a long time, she spoke, but instead of answering Su Ze's question directly, she asked instead:
"You know, in your Blue Star evolution, what is the biggest difference between humans, spiritual plants, and alien beasts?"
Although Su Ze failed the evolution course, he still answered such a simple question without thinking: "Spiritual plants and alien animals can evolve independently, but humans have to rely on absorbing extracts to evolve."
"Yes, in the universe, the way humans evolve is called 'predatory evolution', while the way alien beasts and spiritual plants evolve is called 'growth evolution'. Predatory evolution is faster and more plastic, while growth Evolution is relatively fixed, single, and takes longer.
"In the universe, there are countless kinds of creatures living on various living planets, and humans are not the only creatures that are suitable for predatory evolution."
After hearing what the mother tree said, Su Ze drew inferences and asked, "For example, the life that built the God's Dice? Are they also plundering evolution?"
The mother tree agreed: "Yes, although I don't know what race they are, they can create blood crystals. This is an ability that only races that evolved through plundering have.
"In the universe, all races that adopt predatory evolution have one thing in common, and that is that they are born with extremely high intelligence. For example, you humans, ordinary people who have not evolved even once, are far smarter than animals and plants, and Alien beasts and spiritual plants need to complete the fourth evolution to have wisdom comparable to humans. It can be said that their wisdom is brought about by acquired evolution, while human wisdom is innate.
"Races like humans that are born with extremely high intelligence are called 'intelligent races'. Only intelligent races can plunder and evolve. All spiritual plants, alien beasts, and some weird races in the universe, as long as they are non-intelligent races, will There is only one evolutionary path: growth and evolution.”
Su Ze understood. Only intelligent species like humans can evolve by absorbing extracts. Other life forms can only evolve over time by slowly absorbing external energy.
"Which of these two evolutionary paths is better? In other words, in the universe, is the intelligent race dominant, or is the non-intelligent race more powerful?" Su Ze asked.
It stands to reason that intelligent life should have greater potential than non-intelligent life, but currently humans on Blue Star are at a disadvantage.
"Of course, intelligent races rule the universe. Non-intelligent races, no matter how powerful they are, will only be regarded as prey by intelligent races and as a tonic for them to strengthen themselves. In the universe, non-intelligent races have a low status and are regarded by intelligent races as people in the mountains. Wild beasts, herbs in the forest, and ores in the ground are all resource pools that they can plunder at will, and they are also the gene pool for them to replenish themselves.
"In the eyes of many intelligent races, non-intelligent races are born for their use. The meaning of the existence of all spiritual plants and strange beasts is to help them evolve."
This... Su Ze couldn't say anything. Even on Earth, or on Blue Star before the evolutionary era, humans did this.
This is just the instinct to plunder life. If non-intelligent races are in charge of the universe, Su Ze believes that all intelligent races will end up miserable.
Just look at Blue Star to see this. When human beings fell behind in strength, I don’t know how many people became food for alien beasts and nutrients for spiritual plants in the battle of evolution.
However, judging from this momentum, as long as humans can develop steadily, it will be a matter of time before they suppress the alien beasts and become the master of Blue Star again.
The mother tree continued: "Fortunately, there are constant disputes among various intelligent races. Otherwise, the situation of non-intelligent races will be even more difficult, and it is possible for them to be fully captured by intelligent races."
"Are there many intelligent races in the universe?" Su Ze asked.
The mother tree fell into silence for another moment, and then said: "I only have a fragmented consciousness and incomplete memory. From my fragmented memory, it can be judged that there are not many types of intelligent races in the universe, but they are extremely numerous!"
Not a lot of variety, but a lot of people... meaning not a lot of variety, but a lot of people.
But Su Ze still had no idea about this. How much does it mean? How much does not much mean?
After all, that is relative to the entire vast universe!
Su Ze asked out his doubts.
The mother tree replied: "I don't know exactly how many intelligent races there are, but it's probably only one or two hundred, and no more than four hundred at most. This still includes some extinct races... Some intelligent races have long been It disappeared in the long river of time, and has not shown any trace in the universe for countless years.
"It is impossible to count the total number of intelligent races. No one knows the answer. On a planet occupied by an intelligent race, there are at least hundreds of millions of people, and as many as tens or hundreds of billions...and there are countless people in the universe. Living Planet.”
Su Ze had an initial impression of the vast universe. Although he had been a human for two lifetimes, he still felt insignificant. The two planets he had lived on were just two specks of dust compared to the boundless universe.
After digesting this information, Su Ze asked excitedly: "Have you ever heard of humans in the universe? Are there other humans existing in addition to Blue Star?"
He thought of the beautiful planet where he lived in his previous life, his true homeland.
But the answer given by the mother tree made him a little disappointed: "Before coming to Blue Star, I had not heard of humans, but it is probably due to my incomplete memory. I can't remember many things clearly."
Although the mother tree said so, Su Ze understood that even if there were other humans in the universe, humans would at least not be a powerful race, otherwise the mother tree would not have any impression at all.
Su Ze brought the topic back to the topic and said, "You are telling me this because you want to say that it was the intelligent races in the universe that built the God's Dice and created these problematic blood crystals?"
"Yes, but I'm not sure what kind of intelligent race it is." Mother Tree said.
Su Ze thought for a moment and thought of the "Purple Skin Man" and "Crystal Man" he saw in the God's Dice Trial.
He always believed that the "Purple Skin Man" built the God's Dice, and that the "Crystal Man" was the enemy of the "Purple Skin Man".
But now it seems that the purple-skinned people and the crystal people are both intelligent races in the universe.
So, he described the appearance of the crystal people and the purple-skinned people to the mother tree, and asked: "Do you know these two races?"
"The 'Crystal People' you mentioned should be the 'Crystal Race' in the universe. Their bodies are excellent materials for making spiritual props. Therefore, although they are not strong among intelligent races, they are relatively famous.
"As for the 'Purple Skin People', I can't remember their names, but I know that they have taken refuge with the super-rich 'Witch Clan' and are the subjects of the Wu Clan."
"Witch clan?" Su Ze immediately thought of the ancient witch clan in the myths of his previous life, as well as the wizards in Western stories...
But the Witch Clan in the universe and the Witch Clan in his impression seemed to be different.
The mother tree introduced: "The Witch Clan is one of the most gifted intelligent races in the universe. They are born spiritual powerhouses and are the darlings of the universe. Although they are few in number, every Witch Clan can rival the gods as long as they reach adulthood. !”
"Can you rival gods as an adult?" Su Ze was shocked.
What kind of cheating race is this!
"It's just that they also have shortcomings. Firstly, they are difficult to reproduce and are scarce in number. Secondly, they grow relatively slowly." The mother tree added.
There must be flaws, otherwise not everyone in the universe would be named "Witch"!
"In this way, the people who built the God's Dice should be the 'Purple Skin People' of the Witch Clan. I just don't know whether their move was under the instruction of the Witch Clan or the Purple Skin People's own intention. With their strength, they want to destroy It would be easy to enslave Blue Star, right? What do you think they are going to do?" Su Ze asked.
"I can't answer you. If my master is still here, he may be able to give you the answer." The mother tree said.
"Is your master also an intelligent race?"
"Yes, their 'Tree Spirit Tribe' is called the 'Cosmic Gardener'. They are born to communicate with plants and have an affinity with them."
"Are the tree spirits stronger in the universe?"
"You have to understand why they are called 'Gardeners of the Universe' and not 'Overlords of the Universe' or 'Kings of the Universe'..."
"A 'gardener' is just a gardener."
Got it...the Tree Spirit Tribe is also a third-rate intelligent race.
The more Su Ze understood about the universe, the more he felt weak. He did not ask more about the universe. Knowing too much knowledge beyond his own level was actually of no use.
He should still return to the present and think about how to improve his strength as soon as possible...
"How can you help me remove the remnant soul of the god in this blood crystal?"
"After you go out, just put the blood crystal and the piece of jade I asked you to keep under the tree." The mother tree said.
Su Ze knew that she was talking about the jade he got from Ye Munni.
"Can you tell if a person is controlled by the remnant soul of a god? For example, the king who asked for a drop of the original liquid of evolution from you before, was he controlled?"
"can not tell."
Well... Su Ze still couldn't be sure whether the Shepherd King was taken away by the spirit's remnant soul.
"Do you have any other questions?" Mother Tree urged, "If not, I will send you out immediately."
It can be seen that the mother tree's patience is almost exhausted.
There is no patience for such a big tree.
"The last question..." Su Ze said quickly, "You said before that you would entrust me with something in the future. Can you tell me what it is now?"
The Mother Tree once said that it was looking for someone with the qualifications to become a god, and Su Ze was attracted by him because of this, and promised to tell him the contents of the commission when Su Ze became a saint.
Although Su Ze has not yet reached the saint level, he is only one step away from it. As long as the extracts in his body are digested, he can hit the saint level overlord!
Therefore, he felt that he was now qualified to know this.
The mother tree's help to him was not free, and he wanted to know what the price was.
The mother tree pondered for a moment, and now Su Ze was indeed only one step away from the overlord, and with his foundation, it was a sure thing to attack the holy overlord.
What's more, she also watched Su Ze kill two saint-level overlords in a one-on-one fight in the spaceship. Su Ze's strength was already at the overlord level, so she didn't insist anymore.
"What I want you to do can only be done after you become a god... and that is to take me back to the universe!"
"Return to the universe? Is it that simple?" Su Ze was stunned and said, "Don't you have a spaceship? That spaceship can't fly in the universe?"
"Only god-level beings have the ability to travel in the universe. There is not a single god-level spiritual plant in the spaceship you see. They are all composed of sixth-level spiritual plants and below. Such a spacecraft can only carry out short-distance space flights. , and there is no guarantee of safety." The mother tree said, "The two god-level spiritual plants responsible for the power and defense of the spacecraft were all killed in the battle, and the owner also entered a state of suspended animation. I am unable to carry out a long-distance journey through the universe with my incomplete wonder. flight."
God-level spiritual plant... died in battle? Master... suspended animation?
Su Ze captured the key words... Mother Tree and the others encountered a fierce battle before arriving at Blue Star, and her master did not die completely, but only entered a state of suspended animation.
Su Ze had always thought that the owner of the mother tree was dead.
The mother tree did not hide anything and said: "We encountered an attack during the space travel. All the god-level spiritual plants in the spacecraft were killed in the battle. The owner was seriously injured and escaped from the siege. He accidentally hit the blue star and found out that it was a planet. He was very happy when he came to the living planet, thinking he could get treatment, but he didn't expect... the evolutionary level of this planet was even lower than he imagined."
As she spoke, Su Ze suddenly saw that in the back garden-like space in front of him, the green grass suddenly parted, revealing a humanoid creature underneath.
Su Ze could tell that this was an old man. He looked somewhat similar to humans, but his skin was dark blue and there were two tentacles on the top of his head. His skin looked much rougher than that of humans, and he had a pair of shiny black hair. hooves, not human feet.
He lay quietly on the ground, not breathing, and looking lifeless, like a dead person, but there was no trace of decay in his body.
Grass vines wrapped around his body and pierced into his nose and chest, seeming to be delivering nutrients to him and maintaining his life.
Su Zecai could also guess that this person should be the owner of the oasis mother tree.
He is really an old man. It seems that the legend is probably true... Su Ze couldn't help but think of the legend about the origin of the oasis.
The mother tree said: "I can barely maintain my master's life now, and I don't know how long it will last. If I want to save him, I must take him back to the ancestral planet of the tree spirit tribe, or other planets that are good at healing.
"Although I don't know the specific location of Blue Star in the universe, based on Blue Star's level of evolution, it is not difficult to guess that he should be in a remote place in the universe. It is almost impossible to find a planetary civilization that can cure his master around. Possibly, so it must be a long trip.”
So if you want to find a Blue Star human who can become a god, first invest in him when he is weak and get closer to him, and then when he becomes a god, let him help you save your master... Su Ze understood the intention of the mother tree.
"It seems that this is not just as simple as taking you to the universe, but also a dangerous long-distance flight in the universe." Although Su Ze didn't know much about the universe, he could guess that there must be dangers in long-distance flights in the universe.
Otherwise, the owner of the mother tree would not have ended up like this.
The mother tree did not deny it, but said: "As a thank you, I will try my best to help you before you become a god, so that you can grow up as soon as possible. You can think about it and tell me whether you plan to accept or reject it."
"I accept." Su Ze agreed directly without thinking.
Even if a long-distance flight in space is dangerous, staying on Blue Star may not necessarily be safe.
After all, the purple-skinned people have infiltrated in, and behind the purple-skinned people there is the "Witch Clan", a powerful family in the universe.
If he rejects the mother tree, he will lose the mother tree's help. If he agrees to the mother tree's request, he will get the mother tree's full support, and his strength will improve several levels faster.
Only when his strength improves will he have more choices.
When he really becomes a god, even if this incident hadn't happened, he might have taken the initiative to escape from Blue Star.
After hearing Su Ze's agreement, the mother tree said: "I will do my best to help you grow, and you can use all the resources left by the master at will, including all the facilities in the spacecraft, including all the spiritual plants in the oasis. "
Su Ze's heart was beating wildly.
This is what he was waiting for!
A large part of the reason for this trip to Miracle Oasis was that he was greedy for that spaceship.
There are too many good things in the spaceship. With the help of the spaceship, his growth rate will be at least several times faster!
Moreover, he can enjoy the resources of the entire Miracle Oasis at will. Doesn’t this Miracle Oasis become his?
Rounding it all off, the Oasis Chamber of Commerce can be considered his asset.
This wave of trading is profitable!
One promise brings so many benefits.
Isn't the Oasis Mother Tree worried that he will regret it after becoming a god?
When he really becomes a god, even if he doesn't abide by the agreement, the mother tree won't be able to do anything to him, right?
However, Su Ze will not break his promise if it is not necessary.
"Okay, let me take you out." The mother tree did not wait for Su Ze's reaction and sent his consciousness out of that space.
Su Ze looked around and found that he was still standing under the tree.
He opened the lead box in his hand and poured the purple blood crystal inside on the grass. Then he took out a piece of jade from the storage ring and placed it next to the blood crystal.
After doing all this, Su Ze took a few steps back and waited quietly.
After a while, a huge green gem appeared on the trunk of the mother tree, which was as thick as a pillar supporting the sky.
As soon as Su Ze saw the green gem, he recognized it. It was the spaceship.
This emerald-like spaceship is inlaid on the tree trunk, and it doesn't seem out of place at all. It looks like the two are integrated, as if they were born to grow together.
Su Ze had previously wondered how a spaceship could be one with a tree, but now he believed it.
A green light projected from the emerald, accurately hitting the blood crystal.
The next moment, a scream suddenly rang out from the blood crystal. It was not a real scream, but an echo that echoed in everyone's spirit.
A mass of something invisible to Su Ze was wrapped in green light and pulled out from the blood crystal.
Su Ze could only see an irregular blank space in the green light, like a transparent maggot, twisting and struggling in the green light.
The green light moved little by little, covering and wrapping the jade on the side. The invisible thing in the green light took the opportunity to get into the jade.
Finally, the mother tree withdrew its green light, and there was still a blood crystal and a jade stone on the ground.
The difference is that there is something more in the jade.
Su Ze stepped forward, not daring to have any contact with the jade. He only looked at it with his eyes and found a purple shadow in the jade.
This shadow vaguely overlapped with the image of the purple-skinned man in his impression.
Sure enough, the remnant soul of the god in the blood crystal comes from the purple-skinned people!
