The Pangu was still struggling.
There was not the slightest bit of wisdom and enlightenment that a civilized person should have in him. Instead, he was filled with the simplicity, recklessness, and savagery of a primeval beast. He was not afraid of death at all. Instead, he squandered the last bit of his life force to his heart's content. He tried to stand up again and again with his hands and feet, but he failed again and again.
In the end, he collapsed completely. His chest rose and fell rapidly, and he let out a roar like a bull.
His voice gradually weakened. He was dead. He no longer emitted any brainwaves. The arrogance, savagery, and savagery on his face froze into confusion and disappointment.
Li Yao waited patiently for a long time. He had Xiao Hei check on the Pangu again. After confirming that the Pangu's physiological functions were completely cut off, he cautiously walked forward.
Standing in front of the hill-like corpse, Li Yao muttered to himself for a moment and decided to perform an autopsy.
He did not need to cut open the Pangu's stomach and make it bleed. He only needed to use high-frequency vibrations from his hands to simulate the principle of ultrasound. He wanted to see if anything had been implanted into the Pangu's body that caused him to go berserk.
Li Yao circled the Pangu and returned to the area near the head.
The Pangu's head was so thick that it would take Li Yao to wrap his arms around it. Li Yao used all his strength to press his palms against the Pangu's temples.
His palms instantly turned into two wisps of gray mist. Wisps of weak bioelectricity shot out from his palms and entered the Pangu's body through the Pangu's temples. He carefully sensed the light in the Pangu's brain, which was gradually extinguishing, and every meridian in the Pangu's body.
This was a very typical Pangu. It was no different from the corpses that the Xing Yao Federation found in the Kunlun Secret Land and the Pangu Underground Palace.
Compared to humans, the Pangu had a "third brain" embedded between the left and right sides of their brains. It was similar to the materialization of the human pineal gland. In other words, they were born with a spirit root that could be seen with the naked eye.
This "third brain" was the material basis of the Pangu's ability to release powerful brainwaves and achieve ultra-long-range telepathy and large-scale telepathy.
It was also the reason why the Pangu could communicate with all kinds of carbon-based intelligent life forms and become the leader of the Pangu Civilization Alliance.
Unfortunately, everything had its pros and cons. Any evolutionary advantage had to be paid a heavy price.
The Pangu race had taken the wrong path in their evolution. In other words, their evolution of the brain was too extreme.
While the Third Brain had the ability to release brainwaves and achieve large-scale, high-speed telepathy, the heat, oxygen consumption, and energy consumption were all astronomical.
Perhaps the first Pangu race discovered the mysteries of telepathy and mental attacks by accident. The Pangu race, who were the best at telepathy and mental attacks, gained an advantage in the fierce competition for survival. Everyone evolved in this direction.
Over the long years, in order to accommodate the increasingly large Third Brain and process the massive amount of data input and output through telepathy, the Pangu race had no choice but to evolve their left and right hemispheres and skulls. This included a "cooling system" that the human brain did not have. They also had to use a special energy transmission and storage system that supplied the super brain. In order to accommodate these systems, the Pangu race grew larger and larger. In the end, their average height was more than ten to twenty meters. They were comparable to the largest reptiles.
In other words, the Pangu race did not actually need such a large body. It was only because they had an extremely large head that they had to match such a large and clumsy body.
Then, was it possible to change their evolutionary path and only grow an extremely large head while keeping their body the same size or even degenerating completely?
Such weird and amazing creatures had appeared in many fantasy novels, including Lu Qingchen's' Virtualization Plan ', which was based on the same approach.
However, the body of a carbon-based intelligent life was a very delicate and compact system. The so-called body was not just supporting the movement of the brain. It was also responsible for swallowing and digesting the nutrients that the brain needed and providing oxygen for the burning brain incessantly. The brain of the Pangu race often needed to operate at a high intensity to achieve telepathy and mental attacks. The temperature could easily be raised to a hundred degrees. In order to lower the temperature, they had a body fluid that was similar to a "cooling liquid" that was different from blood. Such a body fluid needed to circulate rapidly throughout the body and cool the body through the skin folds. An enormous body and large enough skin folds could make the cooling liquid return to an extremely low temperature after circulating once and protect the high-temperature brain again.
The brain was the source of emotions, the carrier of thoughts, and the residence of the soul. Although it was less than one-twentieth of the weight of a human body, it consumed more than one-third of the oxygen and nutrients. For a trainer such as Li Yao, the brain might consume seventy to eighty percent of the oxygen and nutrients. How could it work without a strong body?
Therefore, a freak that only had a brain but no body could never have evolved in nature unless it was supported by a full set of machinery and biochemical circulation systems.
It was just like how it was impossible for the life in nature to evolve such seemingly efficient organs as' wheels'.
Li Yao estimated that, on the native planet of the Pangu race, a large, heavy, and clumsy body was not a big problem.
Many biologists, cosmologists, and archaeologists believed that the native planet of the Pangu race was probably a planet that had a low density and mass but a high oxygen content and a low temperature.
The lower the mass, the lower the gravitational force, and the higher the oxygen content, the creatures would be able to grow without any worries. Even if they weighed dozens of tons, they would still be as light as a swallow and as fast as flying.
The low temperature was naturally beneficial to the cooling of the brain. As a result, the Pangu race was not too worried about the overheating of the brain. Just like that, they thrived on their native planet and developed a brilliant civilization before they flew out of their home planet.
After they flew out of their home planet and explored countless habitable planets, they discovered that their home planet, which was a planet with a low mass, low gravity, high oxygen content, and cold air, was a rare exception. Most of the habitable planets were the 'standard planets' from the perspective of human beings, such as the capital planet and the Heaven's Origin Planet, which meant that they had a high mass, high gravity, low oxygen content, and relatively high temperature, but it was already too late.
They had walked so far on the path of evolution. It was safe to say that the existence of their entire civilization depended on telepathy and mental attack abilities. How could they 'cut off' their most powerful techniques and redevelop their life form?
Well, it might be possible. That was why the Pangu race was trying to 'create human beings'.
Compared to the body of the Pangu race, the fleshly body of human beings might have a hundred shortcomings, but the three advantages of 'low energy consumption, high adaptability, and great potentials' were enough for them to win the survival competition of a million years.
Li Yao sensed every organ of the Pangu race carefully, especially the delicate 'cooling system'.
It was a body fluid circulation system that was a hundred times finer and more complicated than veins and neural networks. Including the cooling holes hidden in the skin folds, the efficiency of heat dissipation was as good as that of the power unit of a starship. It was truly an unbelievable direction of evolution.
As I expected, the brain cells have all been burnt. Their entire brain is a mess. Even the gods can't save them.
It's truly not easy for the Pangu race to survive, build, and fight on countless planets with harsh environments with such a clumsy and redundant body!
Li Yao sighed. The more he knew about the Pangu race, the more he felt that the Pangu race was not destroyed by the Nuwa Clan or human beings, but by the defects of their own evolution. Or rather, they were killed by the 'heavenly law' that restricted the carbon-based intelligent life from surpassing the limits of the universe!
While he was pondering, Li Yao suddenly sensed that there were uneven stripes on the inside of the Pangu's left wrist.
It was a very delicate rune hidden among the folds, like the overlapping of countless complicated patterns. It was a standard Pangu language and looked like a tattoo of human beings.
Li Yao was dazed by the 'three-dimensional tattoo'.
Although he did not know the specific content of the tattoo, he had seen similar tattoos in a lot of research files, including the scraps of similar tattoos on the inside of the Pangu elite warriors' wrists in the Kunlun relic and the underground palace of the Pangu race.
It seemed to be a sign of the Pangu race's bravery and expertise in battles. It was not until the shocking civil war between the Pangu race and the Nuwa Clan that the tattoo spread out.
It meant that …
The Pangu was indeed from the primeval era. He was an elite warrior who had received strict training and was definitely not a primitive barbarian.
How was it possible?
The elite warriors of the Pangu race had mastered all kinds of mysterious techniques. They were capable of using large armor similar to the Crystal Suit and all kinds of terrifying magical equipment. Their mental attacks should be more organized and targeted. They should be able to respond to Li Yao's telepathic transmissions. At the very least, they should have a high understanding of the condition of their brains and should know when to cool down their brains instead of burning themselves to death by launching mental attacks without any restraint!
Looking at the Pangu's dirty eyes, Li Yao was deeply confused.
He had thought that the Pangu was a 'barbarian' who lived and died in the natural environment, just like how there were 'wolf children' who grew up in the jungle without the herd.
However, the tattoo on his wrist undeniably suggested that he used to be a member of the tribe and boasted high intelligence.
Could it be …
Deep in thought, Li Yao mumbled to himself, The Pangu has indeed regained his feelings and self-will, but the price is the complete loss of rationality and wisdom?
It's almost like … it's almost like … feelings and self-will are an excessively violent river that was sealed and suffocated in the beginning. When the seal was completely broken, the torrent went out of control, and even the rationality and wisdom were crushed?
It was the only reasonable explanation.
But it was definitely not the answer that Li Yao was hoping for.
Naturally, this was not the only Pangu who went berserk after being resurrected. Long Yangjun, Ding Ling Dong, and the rest of them had probably fought against the crazy Pangu a long time ago. Long Yangjun's crashed starship had proved it.
