Li Yao was shocked by his crazy speculation.
Cutting a space from hundreds of worlds, combining them seamlessly, maintaining the stability of the space and the circulation of the air, and producing normal animals and plants. It sounded like a story out of myths and legends.
However, when the super civilizations developed to the highest level, their world-shaking techniques were exactly the source of myths.
Weren't the Pangu civilization and the Nuwa civilization in the past worshiped by future human beings and turned into myths, too?
The Pangu civilization was already able to make use of the energy of stars and neutron stars efficiently. The 'black wall maker' would only be more amazing and unbelievable than them.
Then, Li Yao examined the animals and plants. The abundant evidence supported his speculation just now. He was not in a world fragment but had passed through hundreds of worlds and entered 'part' of the hundreds of habitable planets.
Although Li Yao was not a zoologist or a botanist, he could still tell that the plants in many places seemed to have been born in the primeval age and were the earliest spore plants and ancient ferns. In other places, the forms of the plants and the ways of photosynthesis were more modern. It was often the case that dozens of plants with a span of more than a hundred million years were growing in the places no more than a hundred meters away from each other. Some of the ferns should've gone extinct a long time ago, but they were growing in harmony with the 'species of later generations'.
No, it was wrong to say that it was' harmonious and orderly '. It was because the plants sprouted and expanded their territory. It was inevitable that they would step out of their original space and invade a completely different environment next to them. It was an environment that they could never adapt to. They often withered, withered, and decayed at a visible speed and turned into humus under the effect of fungi and bacteria, providing incessant nutrition for the growth of new plants.
"Therefore, this is not a 'primitive forest' but a jumble of a hundred primitive forests. It is a museum of certain plants. All the plants that appeared during the evolution of a habitable planet over billions of years have been shown and perished here."
Li Yao mumbled to himself.
From the uprooting and collapsing of the plants, he sensed the abundant and even 'unparalleled' vitality. The flow of time in this place seemed to have been accelerated by tens of thousands of times. Everything was growing and dying crazily.
This was true for plants and even more so for animals.
Li Yao found a very ancient mudskipper fish in a swamp. This was the pioneer of animals that had marched from the sea to the land. It had already appeared hundreds of millions of years ago.
In the depths of the jungle, he also found spiders the size of washbasins and centipedes that looked like pythons. In the distant past, almost all habitable planets had a period of great plant explosion, so the oxygen in the air was too high. The higher the oxygen, the larger the size of the creatures. It was not unusual for arthropods and crustaceans to grow up to two to three meters.
As for all kinds of extinct ancient animals like saber-toothed tigers, thylacines, giant ancient pigs, and even mammoths, it was not surprising that they could be found everywhere.
If the appearance of these primordial creatures was not too strange, then the creatures that appeared in front of Li Yao's eyes next could be said to have walked out of myths and legends.
It was a tall and healthy elk, or a creature that looked like an elk. It had very dazzling light golden hair, and there were radioactive sun patterns on its body. On both sides of its head, there were spiral horns that looked like those of an argali. However, there were bunches of colorful flowers blooming on the horns!
Li Yao saw very clearly that these flowers did not climb onto the elk's horns like Boston ivy. Instead, they grew directly from the horns, as if it was a combination of some kind of … plant and animal!
Li Yao stared at the golden elk for a long time without blinking.
The beautiful creature seemed to have never seen a human being before. It looked at Li Yao curiously for a long time, attracting countless butterflies to fly to its horns and dance gracefully. Only then did it move with light steps and leap into the depths of the forest.
If Li Yao hadn't experienced the practice of the "Three Thousand Mortal Worlds," and was still in the Divinity Transformation Stage, he would have suspected that he had fallen into a dream again without knowing it. Everything around him was virtual.
But now, he had reached the Divinity Branching Stage. Not only had his soul experienced three thousand reincarnations in the mortal world, but it had also been tempered by the lightning creatures and become more sensitive. He should be able to distinguish the difference between "virtual" and "reality".
Or —
If there was a certain existence that could create such a vivid illusion that even a Divinity Branching Stage master could be completely fooled, the technology behind it and the resources consumed would definitely not be less than that of building a real tomb of the Supreme Emperor.
After reaching Li Yao's level, the boundary between reality and illusion had been blurred. If an illusion could completely fool him, it would be "real" to some extent.
In the next day, Li Yao set foot in almost every different space and analyzed the plants and animals there, including the undersea volcanoes thousands of meters deep.
As he expected, the more data he collected, the more the seemingly irregular maze gradually revealed itself.
Li Yao discovered that the arrangement of most of the spaces was regular. They seemed to be arranged in the order of rings, as if there was a "center" or an "origin".
The further away from the "center" or the "origin", the more ancient the air composition, the features of the crust, and the forms of animals and plants would be. The closer to the "center" or the "origin", the higher the level of evolution, the more colorful the lives, and the more explosive the development.
The "center" or the "origin" was the center of the continent below his feet.
Li Yao retrieved all the strengthening drugs and nutrition drugs from his Cosmos Ring. Regardless of whether or not they were affected by the lightning life and whether or not they were still effective, he simply swallowed all of them.
He also captured a few enormous octopuses and animals that were more than twenty meters long from the seaside. After testing them and confirming that they were not poisonous, he wolfed them down.
He found an unobstructed beach by the seaside and set up a perimeter. With the help of deep meditation, he absorbed all the nutrients and nurtured his dry cells, veins, and nerves.
Three hours later, vague heat flowed out of the pores all over his body again. After countless deductions and calculations, his vitality field was adjusted to the form that was more suitable for the chaotic space. Li Yao rose abruptly and marched to the "origin" of the chaotic space.
The closer he was to the "origin", the more chaotic the magnetic field became. It was too dangerous to fly in the sky. Also, he wanted to observe the world at a closer distance. Therefore, he chose to walk on foot in the vast forest.
The closer he was to the "origin", the more colorful the life forms were. Countless weeds, shrubs, vines, and towering trees were growing nonstop. All kinds of fungi were wriggling, expanding, and decaying at a visible speed. They were almost like carpets that were alive.
There were also animals. All kinds of bizarre animals that seemed to have escaped from nightmares were fighting fiercely in the forest that was growing crazily and perishing crazily. They were burning the instincts that were deeply engraved in each other's genes and bringing the intense smell of blood to the forest.
There was no road ahead at all. Li Yao had to clear the way with his saber of spiritual energy. When he occasionally entered an area where the oxygen content was too high, even a tiny spark would burn up the entire forest uncontrollably. But he did not care too much about it, because new plants would be born in a few minutes or half an hour at most, covering the rotten wood that had not been burnt up yet.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Heavy footsteps suddenly echoed in front of him, as if thunder was rising from the ground.
This was the first time that Li Yao had a feeling of danger. A big guy seemed to be coming.
Li Yao immediately concealed all his spiritual energy and air and rolled on the ground. Covered in mud and humus, he crouched below a tree and even allowed the vines on the trunk to dangle and entangle him.
"Kacha, kacha, boom!"
Right when he finished his disguise, the tree in front of him collapsed, and a shadow that looked like a gray tower appeared before him. Solemn, majestic, and barbaric, it was the symbol of ferocity and violence. It was an enormous reptile that looked like a tyrannosaurus rex.
"How … beautiful!"
With Li Yao's combat ability, he was not scared of any enormous reptile at all. Even if thirty to fifty real tyrannosauruses attacked him together, it would not be a big deal.
However, the memories of his ancestors hidden deep inside his cells still made him compliment the tyrannosaurus in the face of such a desolate tyrant.
In the era that Li Yao lived in, almost all the habitable planets in the three thousand Sectors had been occupied by human beings and modified to be suitable for the survival of primates. It was impossible for the primeval reptiles such as dinosaurs to exist naturally.
The biochemical specialists of the Blood Demon Sector had indeed developed some enormous, brutal biochemical beasts with the genes of dinosaurs. However, no matter how enormous and brutal those creatures were, they could not avoid the aura of sharpness that had been carved out by blades. They were incomparable to the tyrannosaurus that was born naturally in front of him.
The giant beast that looked like a tyrannosaurus rex was full of bumps and lumps, which seemed to be a layer of solid armor. There were also bright purple stripes all over its body. There was no telling whether they were natural colors or feathers.
However, it seemed to have reached the end of its road and was on the verge of death. After letting out a few painful growls, its heavy footsteps staggered, and it suddenly lost its balance and crashed into a huge boulder that was covered with vines and moss. With a deafening boom, it crashed into the boulder, and its head tilted to one side as it fell to the ground.
Li Yao blinked and immediately understood what was going on.
The dinosaur's huge size and relatively primitive structure made them have a very high requirement for the oxygen content in the air. They could only live under a certain degree of oxygen saturation, and it was impossible for the oxygen content to be lower than a few percent. This was also the reason why there were many dinosaur-like behemoths on countless habitable planets, but they went extinct one by one.
