"The deep integration of human civilization and monster civilization..."

Meng Chao shuddered deeply, "Is the brand-new life form created in this way still a human being?"

"It depends on what your definition of 'person' is."

Lu Siya said calmly, "In 1974 AD, an archaeologist on Earth, Donald Johnson, discovered some fragmented bone fossils in a valley in Ethiopia. After restoration and reconstruction, he obtained an ancient human. The skull, and analysis by radioactive argon dating, determined that she was from three million years ago.

"This is the earliest ancient human skull discovered by human archaeologists so far. Archaeologists named the owner of the skull 'Lucy' and defined it as 'the world's first human'.

"But, do you know that this Miss Lucy from three million years ago, the grandmother of all human beings, looks completely different from modern people - through the precise restoration of scientists, we can roughly simulate her appearance, She has a low forehead, a protruding jaw, and even larger canines and molars than modern humans. Her brain volume is much smaller than modern humans, and her stature is also shorter and hunchbacked. Her body is covered with thick and hard hair.

"Rather than saying that she is the grandmother of all mankind, she is more like the accidental product of orangutans and monkeys after a hangover.

"If this Miss Lucy had traveled to today and appeared in front of us, no one would think that she is actually a 'human'.

"After Miss Lucy fell from a tree, unfortunately fell to her death and turned into a fossil, in the long three million years, human beings have continued to evolve and changed their forms many times.

"Those who polished the stone tools and painted the murals were human beings.

"Those who drink blood and cultivate slash-and-burn are human beings.

"The ones that chased the cheetahs in the hot sun and got dark skin, curly hair, and spindly limbs were people.

"Those who marched towards the vast snow field, in the extremely cold weather, continued to grow in size, and finally turned into blond, blue-eyed and white-skinned people.

"Those who sailed far away, were unfortunately trapped on an isolated island, their body size continued to shrink, and their adults were only 1.23 meters tall. They are human beings.

"Those who master the dart in the Amazon jungle, and live in the company of poisonous snakes and piranhas are men.

"Those who study science, build machines, and ultimately drive rockets to the moon are also human beings.

"To this day, we have traveled to other worlds. Many people have lost part of their limbs and organs in battle, and have to use psychic prosthetics engraved with runes to turn themselves into half-flesh, half-mechanical existences, but no matter whether these people The way they perceive themselves, or the way the whole race sees them, is fully and thoroughly human.

"In the future, Dragon City civilization will face countless challenges. We may encounter countless alien races. These alien races may be endless enemies, or close friends who are blood-stained allies. However, no matter whether they are enemies or friends, we will fight against each other in war and trade. Communicate with them in depth, be directly or indirectly influenced by them, and finally, just like the ancestors have been doing for the past three million years, continue to evolve, change, adapt and conquer new environments , growing into a brand new version of the Spirit of All Creation.

"Excuse me, what's the problem?"

"It's different."

Meng Chao frowned and said, "Whether 'Lucy' or different races on the earth, our cell structure and gene chain are roughly the same, and there is no reproductive isolation, of course we are all human beings.

"But, the monster..."

"So, do you think human genes are God's creations, sacred and inviolable, let alone profane?"

Lu Siya asked, "Or, do you think that human genes and the current form have reached the pinnacle of evolution, a perfect existence, enough to deal with all crises and prevent the doomsday from coming?

"Admit it, compared to the incomparably miraculous and brilliant fire of wisdom born from the depths of a well-developed brain, our bodies are too clumsy and too weak. In a sense, our souls run too fast. On the road of evolution, we leave our flesh and blood far behind.

"From the tonsils to the appendix, from the spine that is not suitable for standing for a long time to the sagging internal organs, from the body organs that are expected to have a service life of only a few decades to the brain cells, the extremely ancient evolutionary hand from nature, far away Far from keeping up with the rhythm of human self-upgrading, so that human beings have become soul prisoners trapped in a cage of flesh and blood. For a long time, they can only look at the destructive heroic posture of the doomsday beast, showing great fear Also very envious eyes.

"However, with the acquisition of the legacy of monster civilization, the rapid advancement of genetic technology, and the continuous expansion of the theory of spiritual cultivation, all this will change.

"Through the genetic optimization project, we will assist you and me to combine the most powerful genetic seeds of Dragon City civilization, and inject massive cultivation resources at the embryonic gestation stage. The new human beings born in this way will reproduce everything from 'Lucy' to modern humans." It’s just that we have the means and confidence to compress the long evolution of the past three million years into just a few decades or even a few years. Only in this way can we leave the spark of civilization before the end comes. Leave hope rekindled!"

"I understand the truth."

Meng Chao, who has experienced the doomsday countless times in nightmares, knows better than anyone that the current form of human beings is prepared for hunting earth creatures with hardened javelins in the jungles and grasslands of the earth.

Such a form is neither suitable for working at a desk for a long time in the face of countless shiny screens and massive gushing data in a modern city full of high-rise buildings in the 22nd century.

It is even more unsuitable to come to a foreign world with abundant psychic energy, and compete for living space with a group of ghosts and snake gods with devastating power on the cruel battlefield where the end may come every minute.

If you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will succeed.

To survive, human beings must undergo profound and drastic changes from the inside out, from genes to organs, from soul to mind, from individual form to social form.

Meng Chao is by no means a self-styled person.

With the memory of the doomsday, he also has a more open, subversive, and deviant thinking than ordinary people.

but--

"That's my child."

Meng Chao sighed, "How can I turn my children into a group of monsters?"

Lu Siya keenly grasped the loopholes in Meng Chao's words.

"Ah, so you admit that if human civilization wants to continue, it must become a 'monster' in a certain sense, and you don't object to the emergence of such monsters, as long as they are not your children?"

Lu Siya smiled and said, "Then tell me, whose children can turn into a group of monsters?"
