Mystery seemed to have seen through his confusion. While gnawing on the old ginseng, she explained softly, "This is the bloodline inheritance awakened by the Medusa Clan. It can decompose any substance and absorb the life essence in it. The vertical pupil on its forehead is really powerful. Once the decomposing ray hits the enemy, it will continuously decompose the enemy's wound. Without consuming a large amount of life essence, it will not be able to recover."
Ding Ning's eyes suddenly lit up. He roared in his heart, "I've picked up a treasure! What an awesome decomposing technique! I wonder if I can learn it!"
He suddenly understood why when the Nine Tribulations Golden Lotus bloomed its eighth petal, the crocodile retreated without a fight even though it still had the strength to fight. It must be because the wounds caused by the decomposing ray were continuously being decomposed and collapsed, so it had to escape to find a place to heal.
"En!"
Bai Xun Er let out an enchanting moan, which made Ding Ning shiver. Damn, does she have to let out such a seductive moan just for taking medicine?
Seeing that it still needed some time to completely digest the medicine, Ding Ning stretched out his hand and gestured for Mystery to sit on the ground after finishing the ten-thousand-year-old medicine in two or three bites.
Mystery burped comfortably. Her mouth exuded a strong medicinal fragrance, which made Ding Ning's heart ache. With a cold face, he placed his hand on her head and activated Absolute Touch to check her body.
Ding Ning furrowed his brows tightly as the rich medicinal power flowed through his body. He had thought that this guy's body would change after the transformation, but it turned out that although his appearance had changed, the meridians in his body had not changed at all, except for a few tiny meridians that had been opened up.
Ding Ning revealed a thoughtful expression. Could it be that the Demon Clan had evolved in the direction of humans?
No, it was impossible. Although humans had given birth to many amazing geniuses, they were only a small portion. Most people had physiques that could not cultivate. The Demon Race was not weaker than the Human Race, so how could they evolve in the direction of the Human Race?
Ding Ning wanted to deny this guess, but this thought lingered in his mind like maggots on a tarsal bone. It was an extremely subtle feeling that seemed absurd, but he vaguely felt that it should be so. Otherwise, why would the Demon Clan transform into the appearance of humans even though they still retained some of their race's characteristics?
He immediately raised this question to Mystery. Mystery answered with a confused expression that she did not know and naturally transformed into her current appearance. This made Ding Ning increasingly feel that his guess was very likely to be the truth.
How did humans come to be?
Putting aside the religious creationism, there were two widely accepted theories of human origins. One was Darwin's theory of evolution, which stated that humans evolved from monkeys. The other was that humans evolved from sea creatures that experienced natural and man-made disasters. After the Earth's crust shifted, humans could no longer adapt to the living environment of the ocean. They mutated and walked onto land, eventually evolving into humans.
Ding Ning scoffed at both theories. In the first theory, monkeys were like the red-haired Hou, human-like creatures with limited intelligence, and it was impossible for them to become human beings in ten thousand years. As for the second theory, marine creatures mutated and evolved into human beings, he had always thought it was nonsense. But when he saw the intelligent mermaid, he also wavered. Maybe human beings really evolved from intelligent marine creatures like the mermaid.
But now, he had an extremely bold guess in his heart. Could it be that humans evolved from the Demon Clan?
Although this theory sounded ridiculous, Ding Ning felt that it was very likely to be the guess closest to the truth.
What was the meaning of living beings' existence? In fact, it was reproduction. On the basis of ensuring reproduction, they could pursue a better life.
As everyone knew, no matter what kind of creature it was, it would have a subconscious instinct to evolve. What did the Demon Clan transform into?
Why would they subconsciously transform into human beings? Did this mean that in the Demon Clan's subconscious instinct, they had always thought that humans were the standard for evolution?
At least, Ding Ning knew a fact. It was much more difficult for the Demon Clan to reproduce than for humans. Moreover, the numerous catastrophes in history had proved that humans were the race with the best adaptability to the environment and the strongest survival ability.
The Demon Clan's transformation had become a kind of biological instinct. Perhaps the first, second, or even third or fourth generation Great Demons who had transformed into human beings still retained the characteristics of their own race. But as they intermarried and reproduced after transformation, their genes continued to mutate. When the seventh, eighth, or even a dozen or more generations were born, would they still have the mark of their own race?
The answer was, of course, no. Their genes continued to change. Eventually, the mark of their race disappeared, and their bloodline became thinner and thinner. Although they looked weak and had no bloodline inheritance, they had broken the shackles of their bloodline and had infinite possibilities for evolution.
Although the Demon Clan's bloodline was powerful, in fact, the more powerful the bloodline, the more shackles it would become to their evolution. No matter how hard and excellent their descendants were, because of the shackles of their bloodline, they could never surpass the first generation Demon Ancestor. They could only reproduce generation after generation, making the bloodline of the Demon Ancestor thinner and thinner, and finally disappear in the long river of history.
In contrast, after the fusion of the thin bloodline of various races, the Human Clan, which was formed after genetic recombination, was more adaptable to the harsh environment and had higher intelligence. Most importantly, the Human Clan's evolutionary direction was diversified. Compared with the Demon Clan, which was limited by the racial bloodline, they had the advantage of infinite space for evolution.
These thoughts only lasted for a moment, but it still shocked Ding Ning. If what he had guessed was true, then the Demon Clan was actually the ancestors of the Human Clan. That was why their meridians were rougher and simpler. They were not as smooth as the meridian network of the Human Clan. This severely limited the efficiency and direction of their cultivation, and they could not practice many of the Human Clan's cultivation methods.
In order to verify his guess, Ding Ning not only performed genetic modification on Mystery and taught her the Sword Manipulation Technique, but he also did not hesitate to consume a large amount of spiritual power to help her open up a few of the more important minor meridians beside the main meridians.
"Roar!"
Mystery did not roar because of the pain, but because it was too comfortable. After a few major meridians were opened up, she felt that the speed at which she absorbed the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi had increased by a few times. Her strength had also increased tremendously. The Sword Manipulation Technique was also like an extension of her arm, and she played with it happily. If she encountered a Golden Giant Elephant again, she was confident that she could easily kill it.
Ding Ning had overexerted himself. He closed his eyes to regulate his breathing, but his heart was extremely restless. His guess had verified his guess. The meridians were actually one of the directions of evolution.
The development process from the Demon Clan to the Human Clan was like the mobile communication network. The communication tools were cumbersome, the quality of the calls were poor, the ability to resist interference was poor, and the confidentiality was poor. It was now the 4G era, where the communication tools were small, precise, and had the advantages of high-definition calls, video calls, and low communication delay.
This was a fundamental change. If the Human Clan was the most precise, complicated, and efficient machine tool, then the Demon Clan was the crude, cumbersome, and large primitive workshop.
This also explained why the Demon Clan were all giant beasts that were hundreds of feet tall. If the quality was not enough, they could make up for it with quantity. This was because the utilization rate of their meridians was low. If they wanted to increase the capacity of their meridians, they had to increase their size. Although the Human Clan was much smaller than the Demon Clan, their network of meridians was able to contain energy that was not any weaker than the Demon Clan.
Needless to say, this was a very magical discovery. Ding Ning felt that the Human Clan was more and more mysterious.
If his guess was true, then wouldn't it mean that the Demon Clan, Human Clan, and Demon Clan were actually the same race, just that they were in different stages of evolution?
The Demon Clan was primitive, while the Human Clan was slightly more advanced.
The Demon Clan, which was split from the elites of the Human Clan, stood at the higher end of evolution, and had a higher degree of evolution than the Human Clan.
Ding Ning thought to himself that he must catch a Demon Clan to study when he had the chance. He wanted to see how superior the Demon Clan was compared to the Human Clan.
Bai Xun 'er looked at Ding Ning, who was cultivating with his eyes closed. There was a trace of envy and yearning in her eyes. She was not stupid, and could see that Mystery was at least two or three times stronger than before. If she had the confidence to beat Mystery up before, she was now sure that she would die a horrible death if she were to face Mystery.
Especially since it was obvious that Mystery did not have a breakthrough in her realm, but a crazy increase in her strength in her original realm. This made her even more envious and jealous.
She was the one who got to know this magical fellow first, but because of her suspicion and distrust, she allowed Mystery to surpass her and obtain such a huge increase in strength.
Ding Ning did not understand the Demon Clan's worship and pursuit of strength. They lived in a world without laws or morals, and pursued the naked law of the jungle. The concept of the strong being respected had long been deeply rooted in their hearts. In order to become an expert who could control their own fate, they were willing to give up everything.
It could be said that as long as Ding Ning hooked his finger, Bai Xun 'er would go up to him and do whatever he wanted, as long as she could become stronger.
It was a pity that Ding Ning was thinking deeply about the origins of the Human Clan, and did not notice Bai Xun 'er's eyes that were filled with longing and longing. Otherwise, he would have kept her as his spiritual pet immediately.
"Bai Xun 'er, Mystery and I are leaving."
Feeling that he had almost recovered, Ding Ning slowly opened his eyes, stood up, and said, playing hard to get.
"Where are you guys going?"
Bai Xun 'er looked at Ding Ning anxiously and asked.
Ding Ning looked into the depths of the Myriad Demon Territory and said, "I'm going to the center of the Myriad Demon Territory."
"Ah!"
Bai Xun 'er's expression changed drastically, and she said anxiously, "You can't go there, it's too dangerous!"
"Dangerous? No matter how dangerous it is, I have to go. "
Ding Ning's heart moved. Compared to the ignorant Mystery, Bai Xun 'er seemed to know more about the Myriad Demon Territory. This was probably the benefit of having a tribe.
"But … but …"
Bai Xun 'er was so anxious that she was about to cry, but she did not know how to persuade him to stay.
"Oh, by the way, where is the Yin Yang Five Elements Reversal Array that you mentioned? I can bring you in to get the things you want, but it's better not to take a detour. "
Seeing that the snake demon was speechless for a long time, Ding Ning could only pretend to be enlightened and patted his forehead, trying to find a way out of this embarrassing situation.
"What's the Ninth Territory?" Bai Xun 'er's eyes revealed a hint of joy. "No detour, no detour. It's not in conflict with the direction you are going. The array is in the Ninth Territory of the Myriad Demon Territory."
"What's the Ninth Territory?"
Ding Ning's face was full of doubt, but he was a little depressed in his heart.
Originally, he thought that he would be able to understand the general situation of the Heavens Forsaken Land by keeping Mystery as his spiritual pet. Who knew that Mystery was just a ruffian who mingled in the periphery, and did not even know the situation of the Myriad Demon Territory.
"The Thousand Demons Territory is surrounded by nine layers of mountain ridges. Each layer of the mountain is guarded by a powerful Lord. The Ninth Territory is the outermost layer of the ring-shaped mountain ridges."
Bai Xun 'er couldn't organize her words properly, so she drew a picture. She found a small stone to represent the innermost area of the Ten Thousand Demon Territory, and then drew nine circles on the outside of the stone. Only after drawing nine circles did she use the tip of her tail to point at the outermost circle.
