"Without external pressure, humans still internalize conflict fiercely and cause considerable disruption.
Out of a hundred civilizations, ninety-nine are lost.
They are all destroyed by themselves..."
Jin Xinxin wasn't surprised. The things Ding Yun mentioned were entirely within his expectations. After listening, he merely sighed briefly.
Then, he pointed to the octopus planet beside them and asked, "What's the deal with the intelligent octopuses in that octopus planet over there? If I recall correctly, it's significantly more difficult for marine life to develop intelligence than terrestrial life. What's stranger is that there's no intelligent life on land on that planet.
I don't feel it's a natural evolutionary path either..."
"It's indeed not a natural evolution. For that planet, it happened tens of thousands of years ago. Tens of thousands of years ago, a large number of octopus seeds were artificially introduced to that planet. After entering the ocean, those octopus seeds quickly transformed into small octopuses and continuously reproduced. Once they reached their reproductive limit, they officially began to evolve.
It wasn't an orderly evolution, but rather a chaotic one.
It was more like scattering seeds randomly and then letting them adapt to different planetary environments, a gamble of an experiment, or rather, species expansion.
At that time, a batch of octopuses was very lucky. They not only mutated to gradually adapt to the planet's environment but also developed rudimentary intelligence. Although they had no inherent legacy, once they gained intelligence,
they instinctively began to develop and strengthen themselves.
It took about thirty thousand years for them to become the overlords of the entire ocean and develop some technological capabilities, enabling them to leave the ocean and hunt on land.
At that time, intelligent life had also emerged on land.
However, they were perceived as a threat and exterminated.
You see, the people proselytizing on the octopus planet encountered an attack from many octopuses. They wouldn't listen to anything humans said about preaching or that the Sun God is invincible. To those octopuses,
the human form is a great threat.
Their terrestrial life characteristics also made them fearful.
Proselytizing will be difficult, I reckon. They'll probably need a decisive battle first before any negotiation can take place."
As he spoke, Ding Yun specifically pointed to the changes happening in the livestream. The missionaries on the octopus planet had been discovered by the octopus-folk and were being attacked by soldiers and terrestrial beasts dispatched by the octopuses.
They seemed to have the ability to control terrestrial beasts.
They looked quite formidable.
"The ocean on the planet below also seems to have many octopuses. So, this is a powerful octopus civilization spreading its lineage over a wide area? Whether they succeed in dominating the planet or become food, at least they can continue their existence. That's probably their philosophy, right?"
Jin Xinxin smiled with great interest.
Then, with a wave of his hand, a giant octopus tens of meters long from the main planet's ocean was brought into the Sun God Temple and was studied meticulously.
The research here was genuine.
Not only were all the life organs within the octopus examined, but its gene chain and inherent bloodline information were also analyzed.
After a long while, he said with a smile,
"These octopuses are indeed remarkable. They have many gene fragments in their bodies, over ten thousand more than ordinary humans, but they aren't all expressed. A significant portion of these are latent gene fragments. This alone is enough to confirm they are indeed alien species.
And they are alien species with strong adaptability to planetary environments. Those numerous gene fragments are mainly for adapting to most planetary environments. Whichever gene fragments are suitable for the environment are activated, while others remain dormant.
There are even special gene fragments for adapting to energy tides. How could they naturally have these gene fragments if they haven't experienced energy tides?"
"However, their mutation direction in this world seems to have gone a bit wrong. Not only are their neurons not concentrated enough, but they are dispersed onto their tentacles. Moreover, they are all like social introverts, finding it difficult to adapt to communal living.
Insufficiently concentrated neurons make it difficult to achieve high intelligence, and not living communally makes it difficult to form civilization.
No matter how intelligent ordinary carbon-based life forms are, they cannot create a civilization single-handedly, in a single generation.
Alas, they've truly taken the wrong path."
Deities aren't ignorant of technology. For deities, many low-level technologies hold no mystery. Arch-god level deities can even create life forms and don't have trouble creating their own creations. Exploring an octopus's gene chain and bloodline is naturally not a problem.
After speaking, Jin Xinxin healed the octopus.
And released it back.
"It's actually quite normal. Humans do the same thing frequently, only humans do it even more extremely than those octopuses. Those octopuses scatter life seeds and then pay no further attention, nor do they leave any legacy, letting those life seeds mutate freely, whether they become food or intelligent life doesn't matter.
As long as they can continue their lineage.
Their goal is to ensure the unbroken inheritance of their bloodline.
Human ambition is even greater. They hope to be the dominant intelligent life form on every planet they inhabit, even the masters of the planet.
Therefore, they will nurture the life seeds they introduce to new planets, sometimes even leaving behind specific individuals to help develop a basic civilization before they withdraw. Otherwise, why do you think life forms on so many planets are human? Such coincidences are rare.
It's simply the development of advanced human civilizations.
And this can't be considered 'pulling sprouts to help them grow.' Once those human civilizations develop later and join the human alliance family, their inherent technological systems can also bring inspiration to other civilizations. It's a win-win situation!"
Ding Yun said a few more words nonchalantly.
After ten years of exploration, the entire galaxy held no secrets for her. She not only knew that the humans on most life planets did not evolve naturally but also knew that there was a Level Six human civilization in the central region of the Silver Light Galaxy. Most human civilizations in the Silver Light Galaxy were spread by them.
However, they only paid attention once a civilization reached Level Two.
And then invited them to join the Human Civilization Alliance. Although some technologies on the main planet had reached Level Two civilization standards, it wasn't solely nurtured by Ding Yun, and it was imbalanced and incomplete, not meeting the standard for an invitation.
Everything was within Ding Yun's control.
