"Want to get our help?" In the high-seat meeting space, the incarnations of the World Tree looked at the Lich standing in the center. Fen stands tall and straight, with a heroic demeanor, and is quite ready to start filming if she disagrees with her.
Because she was an invited guest, she didn't have a seat. Regarding this, someone sitting on a high-backed chair realized that the chair under his butt was not that easy to sit on.
Facing the problems of the World Trees, Fen was not afraid at all and said bluntly: "Yes. I hope to get your help, but the premise is that I confirm that you are qualified to assist me."
"Oh, that's really interesting. Do you want to test us first? Your Majesty the Demon King."
The reason for the cessation of war between the World Trees is of course that today's Lost Land is full of magic towers. But in the beginning, the reason why the war was stopped was when King Fen came to the entire Lost Land. The soldiers swept across, and many unyielding World Trees were cut down and burned, becoming materials for the Dark Legion to make something.
Therefore, for Yggdrasil, Fenni Tikal is a familiar opponent. Not to mention that Wadwo, Lahti and others have recently received Lin and his party, so they are certainly more familiar with them.
They obviously want to ask for help from others, but they arrogantly say that they want to test others. The World Trees are not interested in this attitude. In other words, the thoughts and thinking of these plants are different from 'human beings'.
In the eyes of outsiders, the World Trees are aloof and mysterious. In fact, this is just because most people are not qualified to talk to these old antiques who have lived for a long time. But if they are recognized as qualified, the World Trees are actually very talkative. Who told them that their lives were too long and they were so busy that they became panicked...
Fen doesn't talk nonsense either. After spending some time brewing, with a bang and high fives, I used whiteboard writing skills to display the four-stranded DNA message I had compiled in front of the trees. The huge amount of data really shook the high-seat meeting space; even several younger World Trees were lost in the huge information for a while, and it took a moment to escape.
Most of the world trees are unclear, and a few ancient world trees are thoughtful. Only the two ancient ones suddenly changed from their initial confusion to excitement, and then showed excitement. Yectrasil said: "Demon King, could it be that you have mastered the secret of this?"
Don’t ask what it is, but ask how much it is. Fen had a feeling that this trip would not be in vain. Said: "What I want to ask for your help is to compile a most suitable ideal body." Raising his hand, the Lich showed a series of body function parameter lists.
The reason why she didn't say 'perfect' but 'ideal' was because she had been arguing with someone for a while about whether 'perfect' actually existed. In the end, Fen also admitted that there will only be the most suitable, and it is impossible to find perfection. Even her own body, she agrees, has shortcomings in certain areas. She could just use other methods to make up for this shortcoming.
Although he put forward his request, Fen did not discuss it with the World Trees immediately, but said: "Lin and I once studied all the Homo sapiens races in the Lost Land and found that all races seem to have the same origin. But I don’t know why, but they have developed into races with different appearances, different habits, and different cultures. Does this matter have anything to do with you?"
Faced with Fen's questioning, all the world's trees turned their attention to the two ancients. To outsiders, the obscure history is just a part of the inheritance for World Tree, so all the trees know the answer to this question.
Yectrasil and Fasnas did not hesitate and directly started a secret record. This special symbol, which is similar to words but not words, is a special inheritance method among the World Trees. It allows viewers to immerse themselves in a past memory from a third-party perspective. Although it cannot be interfered with, it can be fully experienced, which can be called the best embodiment of a thousand years of dreams.
In the memory, there is a creature that is very similar to humans, but shorter, has hair all over its body, and walks with a stoop. The World Trees call it the 'Element Body'. These bodies will act according to the orders of the World Tree. But they are rather clumsy, slow, and weak.
Then the memory screen changed, and countless tree vines captured the bodies and dragged them into a mire that emitted strange fluorescence. Some bodies will weaken and die, and some will undergo irreversible mutations. These mutations are both good and bad, and the World Trees will eliminate the bad ones and keep the good ones, or in other words, keep the ones that mutate in the direction they want. Then it reproduces and is transformed from generation to generation for who knows how long.
The initial changes were of course quite subtle, but as generations of mutations and reproduction occurred, there was a considerable gap between them and the most primitive bodies. Some have become taller or shorter, their ears have become pointed, their skin color, hair color, and pupil color have changed, and some have even gained several pairs of arms, or their feet have merged into a snake's tail, their lower body has become similar to a horse's body, and their heads have changed. A cow-headed one.
In the end, the mutated body groups left behind are the many Homo sapiens races in Lost Land today.
After breaking away from his memory, Fen immediately asked: "Could the swamp that caused the body to mutate be the legendary 'Rui' soil?"
"Oh, Demon King, you know 'Rui'." Fasnas said with appreciation.
"I learned it from the mouths of some old gods. The origin of gods is said to be the mother of the gods, and there is also the origin of the earth. The mother of the gods, Gaia, is actually the original consciousness of the lost land. I destroyed it once. I didn't kill them all. That’s it, even though at that time I wanted to really destroy the world.——”
People eating melons were shocked. By playing this way, the end of the world didn’t happen! It means that people in this world have a strong will to survive.
"——However, the origin of the earth is 'Rui'. I have only heard of this name, but I can't find any trace of it. Even if it penetrates the memories of the old gods, they only know its concept but not its whereabouts. I have never heard of it. I thought about it, 'Rui' is just an item and does not have a soul. Where can I find 'Rui' now?"
Yggdrasil said: "It's a pity that the Demon King is no more. The people I and I created have that amazingly talented and beautiful person who knows the magic of 'Re', monopolizes it, and achieves his own success." Not only did they become heroes, leading their people to conquer all directions, but some even used the power of the mountains, rivers, sun and moon to achieve their own mysteries, which were the original gods. The first thing these gods accomplished was to no longer let their people suffer from the alien Turning suffering into a reason, destroyed all the 'rui'. There will be nothing left."
"That's right." Now that he knew the result, Fen stopped delving further. Maybe she wasn't familiar with the World Trees, but she at least knew that 'lying' had no meaning to these plants.
On the contrary, Lin asked: "You just stood by and saw those first-generation gods destroying your so-called 'Rui' soil."
"Your Excellency, everything has its destiny. We were caught off guard by those gods, so it's not a big deal, but it's not an opportunity for those weird things to exit the stage of the Lost World. There is no point in regretting what has happened. ." Yggdrasil said in a matter-of-fact tone.
Lin knew that there was really no point in continuing to discuss this statement that was full of destiny. So he asked another question that was bothering him: "Since all the Homo sapiens species in the Lost Land were transformed by you. Why are the tribes in World Tree now dominated by elves?"
"Humans, war is the best touchstone. The wars of the past have proven that elves are the best controllable tools for us. Compared with the indifference of dwarves, the inability of goblins and dwarfs, and the betrayal of orcs and ogres , the elusiveness of human beings, the World Tree that transformed these races and relies on it, is an inevitable outcome. In the end, it can only become the basis for our advancement and a memory." Fasnas said aside.
Oh, the implication is that these seemingly wise and long-lived bosses also create things that are beyond their control. Then some trees played themselves to death, and some trees survived by luck. It seems that self-destruction and seeking death are not the exclusive rights of humans.
Let's not talk about whether the material named 'Rui' is some kind of radioactive substance that someone imagined. This entire process of the birth of the Homo sapiens race sounded to Lin like a lost version of 'agricultural and animal husbandry breed improvement'.
But on earth, this is dominated by humans. Most of them are used in food such as vegetables and fruits, and a small part is used in animals such as pigs, sheep, and cattle. But at best, breed improvement is achieved through cross-breeding and partly genetic modification. But in Midi, it became dominated by plants, and destructive and mutable substances were used to speed up the entire process of variety improvement.
Perhaps from a human perspective, this behavior would be considered cruel. But it’s like when people on earth carry out breed improvement or even genetic modification, they don’t ask about the feelings of the target plants and animals. How ridiculous it is to expect Yggdrasil to stand on a humane footing and sympathize with the people or the so-called 'element bodies' they play with.
In other words, the word "humanity" is inherently full of human arrogance and arrogance. In the face of nature, what is the difference between humans and ants?
After living in the Lost Land for such a long time, someone has long forgotten the pride of human beings as the spirit of all things. There are too many things here that can completely defeat those so-called geniuses. So he didn't want to discuss with the World Trees what they did in that distant era.
Fen didn't care about this kind of thing even more. If Yggdrasil played tricks on an entire ethnic group, it was something that happened a long time ago; as a lich and necromancer, her previous actions were more cruel and inhumane, and the time was even closer.
So if you can't even control the person next to you, and you don't want to control it, how can you control the behavior of more than 20 World Trees?
When it’s time to eat, when it’s time to sleep, when it’s time to burst into tears, just obediently offer up your liver and live the life of a social animal to the end. There’s nothing to discuss. Now someone only cares about one thing. "So, do you think there is still a problem with their qualifications?" This question was asked to Fen.
Curbing back his original arrogance, Fen greeted all directions with the ancient etiquette of a magician and said: "No problem, I believe you can play a great role in my research. Then the second question is, you guys Are you interested?"
