The Shepherd King did not give a direct answer, but asked: "Have you heard of 'predation evolution' and 'growth evolution'?"
"I know something. The intelligent races in the universe evolve by plundering, while other non-intelligent life forms grow and evolve." Su Ze replied.
"Very good. Now that you know the concept of an intelligent race, it will be much easier for me to explain it to you." The Shepherd King paused before continuing, "The reason why predatory evolution is called predatory evolution means that this evolutionary route requires a long journey. Constantly plundering, seizing more perfect and powerful genes from other lives to improve itself, seizing various resources to accelerate its own growth, but the objects being robbed are not just alien beasts and spiritual plants."
"Like the Dirty One?"
Su Ze immediately thought of the dirty ones. They were plundering from the same kind, not alien beasts.
"Forget about the dirty ones. There are actually many of what you call dirty people in the universe, but the dirty ones plunder their own kind. This behavior is cursed. Although it will make them stronger, it will also cause them to be infected with the disease that cannot be eliminated. The stench is that the filthy ones are not tolerated by their own race in the universe. Just like the filthy ones on your blue star, the filthy ones from all races in the universe can only stick together to keep warm and form one by one filthy person organization.
"The only difference is that they are very powerful in the universe. They are a force that cannot be ignored, especially the most powerful force of the dirty ones, which can compete with the big families in the universe."
Are the dirty ones so powerful in the universe?
While Su Ze was surprised, he also noticed some information in King Mu's words. It seemed that filthy people were not exclusive to the human race. Such filthy people also appeared in other races.
However, Su Ze also had a question: "Does one become a dirty person after absorbing extracts from the same race, or does one become a dirty person after absorbing extracts from other intelligent races?"
"This is exactly what I am going to say next." King Mu said, "There are hundreds of intelligent races, large and small, in the universe, and it is said that there were even more intelligent races hundreds of millions of years ago, perhaps tens of thousands. These intelligent races have four major things in common."
Su Ze listened attentively, knowing that the important part was coming.
The Shepherd King continued: “The first thing we have in common is that all intelligent life evolves through predation;
“Second, after absorbing the evolved materials of the same species, they will be infected with a foul odor and become what you call a filthy person;
“Third, every intelligent race has strengths that are unique to that race, which are racial talents. For example, our Nian race’s consciousness is strong;
"Fourth, if intelligent races plunder the intelligent lives of other races, not only will they not be contaminated by the stench, they will even receive additional enhancements, but only for those above the god level."
Su Ze suddenly understood a lot and said: "So your Nian tribe invaded Blue Star to trap us Blue Star humans and use it as a hunting ground for your Nian tribe gods in the future? A gene bank that can be plundered at any time?"
"Maybe it's not just that. If you humans are just ordinary intelligent races in the universe, you have no value at all in our captivity, because only god-level people have the value of being plundered. We need to cultivate a planet with an extremely low level of evolution like yours." There are a large number of god-level powerhouses, so it would be more cost-effective and hassle-free for us to go directly to the universe to capture a few god-level powerhouses.
"The point is, our Nian tribe has been in the universe for many years and has never seen a human race. In other words, you Blue Star humans are a brand new intelligent race we discovered!
"Of course, it may also be those races that have long been annihilated in the dust of history and are considered extinct by all races in the universe. I said that there were thousands of intelligent races hundreds of millions of years ago, but now only a few hundred are left. This is because intelligent races continue to launch plundering wars.
"Those great races in the universe gradually developed after winning the plundering wars, and many of the defeated races were exterminated. Maybe your human race is the race that was once wiped out.
"Perhaps, you, Blue Star, are the last human race in the universe."
Are there no other human races in the universe?
Su Ze felt a little complicated for a moment. He also imagined that there might be powerful human beings in the universe who might come to support Blue Star.
But what the Shepherd King said may not be right. At least Su Ze knew that there was a blue planet as beautiful as the Blue Star, and there were many human races on it.
However, it is a planet that has no power of evolution and cannot start evolution.
Speaking of which, Earth is very similar to Blue Star before the evolutionary era began. If Blue Star hadn't had the rain of evolution brought by that giant butterfly, I'm afraid Blue Star would still be just like Earth, focusing on the development of technology.
"Just because our human race is rare and rare, it is particularly valuable?" Su Zeluo asked incomprehensibly. Although things are rare and valuable, since humans are consumables used to promote their own evolution in the eyes of the Nian tribe, they must still be Measure value by actual effect.
There is no reason why humans should be extra valuable just because they are rare, unless humans are more useful than other intelligent races.
"You still don't understand what I mean. Intelligent races plunder each other in order to plunder the 'race origin genes' of other races. The origin genes of each race are unique.
"Take our Nian Clan god-level powerhouses as an example. When a Nian Clan god absorbs the evolutionary material of a Crystal Clan god for the first time, the improvement will be the most obvious, because a large number of the Crystal Clan's original genes will be plundered at once. When he absorbs the evolutionary material of the crystal clan gods for the second time, the effect will be greatly reduced, because most of the original genes plundered for the second time coincide with the first time.
"By analogy, the more times the evolutionary material of the same race is absorbed, the less obvious the effect will be. Of course, the effect is also related to the evolutionary level of the target and the strength of the race.
"You are also a crystal clan god. If you absorb the evolutionary material of a sun god level powerhouse, the effect will definitely be much better than absorbing the evolutionary material of a star god or moon god level powerhouse.
"Absorbing the evolutionary substances of the powerful races in the universe, such as the Witch Clan gods, will have a far stronger effect than other weak races."
When the Shepherd King said this, Su Ze basically understood the value of the human race.
The Blue Star human race has almost never appeared in the universe. Naturally, the gods of other intelligent races have not absorbed the original genes of the human race gods. This is a blank market.
The gods of all intelligent races in the universe will receive a significant improvement when they absorb the evolutionary material of human gods for the first time.
As long as the Nian tribe cultivates a large number of human gods, whether they keep them for their own gods to plunder and absorb to improve their overall strength, or resell them to other intelligent races, they will definitely make a profit.
As long as they control Blue Star in their own hands, it is equivalent to monopolizing the "supply source". When Blue Star's overall evolutionary level is raised and there are more god-level experts, they can give priority to meeting the needs of the powerful people of their own clan. Next, sell the strong human race to other races in exchange for profits.
Su Ze suddenly wanted to mourn for the legend of Lin Hua. He was a human race who boldly broke into the universe. Is it really okay?
Was he being held captive?
Or has he become a god and been plundered and absorbed by others?
At the same time, he also understood what the gods of the Nian clan were doing.
No wonder... what the Nian clan wants is not to destroy or dominate Blue Star. What they want is for Blue Star to flourish and continue to produce god-level experts!
In this case, why not help humans eradicate the threat of alien beasts?
Su Ze didn't ask King Mu about this, he figured it out on his own... Without pressure, how could there be motivation to move forward?
Without the threat of alien beasts and the existential evolutionary battle, the evolutionary level of Blue Star humans would never have developed so fast, and it would have been impossible for so many powerful people to emerge in just a thousand years.
Could it be that the alien party deliberately kept the new King Sponge from killing the new King Sponge that appeared now, in order to put pressure on humans and force the emergence of god-level powerhouses among Blue Star humans?
Or……
Su Ze had another guess. In order to confirm his guess, he asked King Mu: "How can I become a god by plundering and evolving?"
"Since it is a plundering evolution, if you want to become a god, of course you also need to plunder. Just like before, you can absorb the evolutionary materials of higher-level life forms as a 'ladder' to reach the god level." The Shepherd King replied.
"That means you have to absorb extracts from god-level life forms in order to become a god."
Sure enough... Su Ze understood that if the Nian tribe wanted to cultivate a god-level powerhouse among the Blue Star human race as soon as possible, then of course they had to give birth to a god-level beast first.
Only by hunting god-level beasts and obtaining seventh-level extracts can the legendary powerhouse reach the god-level.
That's why they allowed that sponge beast to become a god.
"The extract is something made by your Blue Star. It is actually extracted evolutionary material in liquid form. It is directly called 'evolutionary fluid' in the universe. If it is a crystalline evolutionary material, it is called 'evolutionary crystal'." The Shepherd King said, "But there is another way to become a god. You can become a god without absorbing god-level extracts, but it is more difficult, more time-consuming, and has a lower success rate."
"What method?" Su Ze asked quickly.
"That... can you give me the Spirit Erosion Fruit first?" King Mu made a condition.
"You answer the question first, and I will give it to you after you ask it."
The Shepherd King was silent for a few seconds, but continued to answer: "Another method of becoming a god, which is exclusive to true geniuses. Absorbing god-level evolutionary substances is nothing more than acquiring a god-level skill, and using this god-level skill as a gateway It’s a god-level ladder, but if you can master a magical skill yourself without going through the extraction process, you can of course become a god directly.”
"How can you obtain god-level skills without absorbing the extract?" Su Ze asked doubtfully.
The Shepherd King replied: "In fact, at the extraordinary level and the holy level, that is, from ordinary life to before becoming a god-level life, the evolution of intelligent life has been doing 'addition', constantly absorbing evolutionary materials, acquiring new skills, and then strengthening them. new skill.
"After becoming a god-level powerhouse, if you want to continue to evolve to a higher level of life, you must do 'subtraction' and continuously integrate your own skills, so that the number of your own skills will become smaller and smaller, and the power will become stronger and stronger. Level and quality Higher and higher.
"If you want to obtain divine skills without absorbing extracts, you mainly rely on 'skill fusion'. If you can fuse multiple sixth-level skills, you might be able to fuse a god-level skill."
"I see."
It sounds simple, but Su Ze knows that it is absolutely difficult. At least he has no clue now.
In other words, before the seventh-level god-level beasts appeared in Blue Star, the previous legendary powerhouses, such as Lin Hua, could only rely on this method if they wanted to advance to the god-level.
The key is that if a seventh-level alien beast really appears, these legendary strong men will not be able to defeat it!
It's no wonder that people as amazing and talented as Legend Lin Hua gave up and took the initiative to go to the universe to find opportunities to become gods.
If the Nian tribe wants to cultivate human gods, it must be faster and more efficient to absorb god-level extracts.
"Then if a seventh-level alien beast is born on Blue Star, how will you, the Nian Clan gods on Blue Star, deal with it?" Su Ze asked.
"First of all, the combat power of seventh-level alien beasts is far inferior to that of the intelligent race gods of the same level. An alien beast that has just completed its seventh evolution has limited strength no matter how strong it is. Secondly, there are still things left by our Nian clan in the dice of gods. The powerful god-level wonders are specially prepared for us.
"Multiple legendary powerhouses, combined with god-level wonders, can hunt down a seventh-level beast that has just completed its evolution.
"Even if there is a one-in-a-thousand chance that we are no match for the alien beast, we can still send a signal to the mother star through the dice of the gods to request support."
Su Ze nodded: "It turns out that the God's Dice also has the function of cosmic communication. Now that you have the seventh-level extract, are you planning to cultivate real Blue Star humans to become gods, or are you going to cultivate pseudo-human beings who have been taken away by the gods of your Nian clan?"
The Shepherd King replied without thinking: "Of course we are cultivating Blue Star Earth, no, Blue Star humans. First of all, we don't want to be robbed. Secondly, the souls of different intelligent races are also different. Although our Nian clan has taken away many Blue Stars, The Star Human Race is essentially different from the Blue Star Human Race.
"Even if others plunder and absorb us as Blue Star humans, we will not be able to absorb as many original genes as they can absorb the evolutionary materials of normal human gods. It will be more like adulterated and defective products. Of course, it will not be too big for us. Impact, how to evolve or how to evolve, it's just a different body. We are all people who have died once, and it is not easy to have a chance to live again. "
Su Ze nodded and asked: "Then what is the future for you Nian Clan gods who have taken away human beings? Do you think you will always stay on Blue Star and never become gods or leave Blue Star? Are you a shepherd dog from the Nian tribe?”
The Shepherd King pondered for a moment and said: "Actually, even I don't know about this problem. I have only been awake for more than twenty years. Maybe like Jiang Pingle and the Pope, who have been awake for hundreds of years, they know the arrangements of the ethnic group better.
"What I know is that once we are about to cultivate human gods, we will send a signal to the mother star through the dice of gods. At that time, the mother star will send people to take away the human gods. Maybe some of us will also have the opportunity to follow. The strong ones from the mother star return to the mother star."
Su Ze pointed it out unceremoniously: "But even if you are still alive, such good things will not be your fault."
The Shepherd King did not refute. Blue Star still needs "shepherd dogs". It is impossible to bring all the Nian people who have been resurrected from the God's Dice back to the Nian family home planet. If they want to bring them, they must take away "old employees" such as Jiang Pingle and the Pope. ".
If he wants to return to his home planet, he has to wait for more Nian gods to be resurrected from the God's Dice to take over from him.
The Shepherd King said: "Actually, it's our bad luck. Every time our Nian clan searches for hundreds of planets like Blue Star in the universe, we drop hundreds or even thousands of God's Dice. What these planets have in common is There are a group of intelligent races with extremely low evolutionary levels living in them, but they are almost all common races in the universe, unlike your Blue Star human race, which is unique.
"After we are reborn, we will use all means to plunder the planet's resources. After completing six evolutions, we will wait for the tribe's spaceship to pick us up and leave. As for what will happen to that planet and whether its resources will be exhausted, we Not caring at all.
"We don't need to tie our hands like we did on Blue Star. We also need to ensure that you Blue Star humans are not exterminated and that you thrive."
"You Nian clan are really a bunch of pests, laying eggs and plundering everywhere." Su Ze mocked.
It is precisely because of the special characteristics of the human race that Blue Star was not completely destroyed by this group of pests, but it also made the Blue Star humans become cattle and sheep raised by the Nian clan.
But Su Ze at least confirmed one thing, that is, the Blue Star human race will not be annihilated, and will even develop better and better with the secret support of the Nian clan.
After all, if cattle and sheep are raised in captivity, they must be fattened before being killed.
This can be regarded as a blessing among misfortunes... He thought happily.
But the biggest problem is that once he becomes a god, he will be "out of the game".
If you don't want to be slaughtered, you can either escape from Blue Star before becoming a god, or you can simply be a mess and spend the rest of your life not becoming a god but a cow and a sheep.
"I should be the fastest growing cow and sheep on the farm now." Su Ze laughed at himself.
The truth is despairing, and it seems that all their efforts are meaningless.
Even if they defeat the so-called alien party, so what?
As long as you can't escape from this planet, you will be harvested by the Nian clan sooner or later.
However, Su Ze was not discouraged. He felt that there was always a glimmer of hope in everything. At least he now had two channels that might help him leave Blue Star.
One is the Mother Tree. She originally came from the universe, and she also has a spaceship, but it can only fly short distances without a god-level powerhouse.
But if we can find a way to save the owner of the mother tree, the tree spirit god, he should be able to leave Blue Star.
Another channel is the mysterious inheritance. Lin Hua Legend most likely left Blue Star with the help of that inheritance.
However, we still have to explore the inheritance to know the specific details.
Su Ze has not yet collected the four puzzle pieces that serve as keys, and he also feels that his own strength is still lacking, so he has no plans to explore the mysterious inheritance for the time being.
The next goals are, firstly, to see if there is a way to save the owner of the mother tree, and secondly, to collect the puzzle pieces that serve as the key to inheritance. Of course, his own strength must not fall behind... Su Ze secretly thought in his mind.
"I'll ask you one last question. After you answer it, this Soul Eclipse Fruit will be yours." Su Ze said through a message.
"Okay." King Mu agreed, "What's the problem?"
"You just said that every intelligent race has racial talents, so what are the racial talents of our human race?"
"This...I don't know either." The Shepherd King was afraid that Su Ze wouldn't believe it, so he quickly explained, "The talents of some races can only be revealed after they become gods. At least I have been observing the human race for many years, and I haven't found any racial talents."
Su Ze thought about it and felt that there was no need for the Shepherd King to lie to him about this matter, and as a human being, he himself did not find any special talents.
The Shepherd King added: "In addition, racial talents can be strong or weak. The talents of most races are relatively useless, better than nothing. Some of them may not be discovered until specific circumstances and special circumstances.
"Just like the talent of our Nian clan, our strong consciousness is indelible. If we don't experience several times of taking and being taken away, parasitizing and being parasitized, how can we sum it up?"
Su Ze didn't dwell on this topic and asked directly: "How can I give you the Spirit Erosion Fruit?"
The Shepherd King is now in a state of remnant soul and is still sealed in jade. He cannot even detect his spiritual power. Su Ze doesn't know how he is going to use this spiritual erosion fruit.
"It's very simple. You split this soul-eating fruit and place it next to the soul-nurturing jade. The soul-eating energy in it will automatically sense the soul in the jade and drill into the jade. But before that, I have to trouble you. Lay a layer of mental defense outside my conscious body, otherwise the energy of the Spirit Erosion Fruit will also hurt me." King Mu said.
He now shares a remnant soul with the leader of the Nian clan, which is equivalent to two consciousnesses in one soul.
The two are in a relationship where both prosper and suffer.
But he had no choice. If he didn't resort to this method of injuring the enemy by one thousand and damaging himself by five hundred, sooner or later he would be swallowed up by the consciousness of the Nian clan gods.
Although Su Ze agreed, he was very cautious and only separated a clone to do these things.
He handed the soul-eating fruit and the soul-nurturing jade to his clone, exited the room, and locked the door tightly.
The clone used his mental power to probe into the soul-nurturing jade stone, and quickly found the consciousness of King Mu, a mass of formless and massless things that exuded spiritual fluctuations.
The clone stood outside the Shepherd King's consciousness and used his mental power to lay a barrier. Then he placed the soul-nurturing jade stone on the ground and split open the soul-eating fruit next to it with one palm.
After doing all this, the clone immediately retreated to the door and made sure that there was no problem before leaving the room.
A burst of black smoke floated out of the soul-eating fruit in the room, and the soul-nurturing jade stone on the side seemed to have magnetic force, attracting the black smoke.
The soul-nurturing jade stone was quickly dyed black, and the shadow of the Nian clan god on it struggled violently, darting left and right in the jade stone, like a trapped beast trying to break out of its cage.
Su Ze observed for a while, and when he saw that it wouldn't end in a while, he left his clone to watch at the door, while he walked aside to think about things.
He gained a lot from this conversation with the Shepherd King and obtained a lot of useful information.
He had already thought about his long-term goal, which was to leave Blue Star before becoming a god, but in the short-term, that is, what to do now, he was a little unsure.
After knowing the truth, he couldn't help but wonder, is the fight between the Blue Star Party and the Alien Party still meaningful?
Just at this moment, Brother Ya came out of the training room. When he saw Su Ze, he quickly said: "Boss, are you ready? Do you want to erect the flesh and blood statue now?"
