Attributes skyrocket infinitely, I dominate the multiverse Chapter 372 Cruelty and Kindness, Dimensi

Looking at the miserable scene in the picture where humans on ancient earth either worked hard or exercised hard all day long, with almost no time for entertainment, and even family and love were completely lost, Mu Cang shook his head slightly:

"Humans are not machines. They don't go to sleep after work and work when they wake up. People need entertainment and emotional release.

Just like many workers on Blue Star, after they come home after working overtime until late at night, they obviously should go to bed early to relieve fatigue, but they still stay up late playing games and watching short videos in an almost vindictive manner.

These are signs that the body and soul are trying to save themselves, and if they don't, they will collapse.

Hmm, so this Holy Emperor is too eager for quick success, a little too much. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Cang thought about the harsh situation faced by ancient humans and the hungry god clan that would eventually appear, and he began to understand what the Holy Emperor had done.

"Even if it is impossible to know the specific identity and power level of the enemy, the Holy Emperor is born with extremely powerful predictability and spirituality..."

Mu Cang pondered, "He must always feel that the entire starry sky above his head... is full of heart-piercing and deep malice.

If you think about it this way... his rather cruel behavior makes sense. "

At this time, Mu Cang suddenly thought of a game he had played in his previous life - "Ice and Steam Age".

The plot background of that game is set in the apocalyptic stage after global temperatures plummet.

In that doomsday, humanity is already on the verge of extinction.

Players need to play a mayor and manage the last city in the world.

In the game, players need to manage many survivors and various infrastructures in the city.

Different decisions and strategies must also be adopted to ensure that cities can survive longer in a situation where the environment and resources are constantly deteriorating.

But what’s interesting is that the survivors living in this extremely harsh environment don’t seem to have enough awareness.

They will be dissatisfied if they work too much overtime, they will be dissatisfied if they eat too much porridge, they will be dissatisfied if the hospital beds are too crowded, and they will even be dissatisfied to the point of bursting their lungs if the heater is not turned on warm enough.

At the same time, once the level of dissatisfaction reaches an overwhelming level, the player as the mayor will be united by all the survivors and brutally exiled outside the city, where he will freeze and starve to death.

Often at this time, a survivor will jump out and say excitedly: "I know everyone is about to die, but I am so happy to see you (the player) step down before I die!"

All in all, if the players cannot serve this group of survivors comfortably, then they would rather break the pot and die together.

This is somewhat similar to the situation faced by ancient humans.

The difference is that the Holy Emperor is powerful enough that no one can exile or overthrow him.

At the same time, the ancient Westram civilization has been around for a relatively long time, and there is still a lot of room for change.

But this room for maneuver may also be an illusion, because once any hungry god suddenly descends on the galaxy where the ancient earth is, the ancient human civilization will quickly perish.

And the time of this arrival... is unknown.

Therefore, the Holy Emperor, who had a premonition of this terrible misfortune, issued many harsh decrees and made the decision to build ancient mankind into a dystopian totalitarian state with the coldest heart.

"So, this involves a problem. Humanity and freedom are indeed valuable, but on the balance of value..."

Mu Cang thought to himself leisurely, "Is it more important than the continuation of species and civilization?"

The answer is self-evident.

If species and civilizations are completely extinct, what is the meaning of these so-called freedoms and humanity...?

Even the meaning itself is not defined by intelligent creatures?

If everyone is gone, is there still room for freedom and humanity?

Of course, there must have been many individuals among ancient humans who respected and valued humanity and freedom.

Such individuals are very similar to the many Europa White Zuos that once existed on Blue Star.

They all have roughly the same Madonna complex.

The root cause of this kind of complex is...the fantasy that oneself is the kindest helper, the fantasy that one can forever watch all those present, and then by disciplining them, one can achieve eternal goodness.

This is... the ultimate arrogance.

Mu Cang was noncommittal about this sentiment.

At the same time, looking at the ancient Earth that launched the Great Expedition to the Star Sea in the historical scene, Mu Cang also made a guess in his mind as to why the Holy Emperor forcibly deprived ancient humans of their reproductive rights.

"Perhaps...it is to avoid some kind of filtering mechanism - the evolutionary concave point - set up by the universe for intelligent civilization."

The so-called evolutionary pit can also be called the mutation load limit.

Generally speaking, once a certain intelligent group becomes the top of the planet's food chain, natural selection will gradually go offline.

But this will bring about an extremely terrible consequence.

That is, contamination of the ethnic gene pool.

Why is this so?

Very simple.

In a group, under normal circumstances, those who are born with disabilities, those who are born with weak bodies, those who carry recessive diseases, those who carry various harmful mutations, etc.--\u003e\u003e

Individuals who are not qualified to pass on to future generations or even survive normally will have no chance of their genes entering the ethnic gene pool and will be eliminated by natural selection as a matter of course.

But with the development of civilization, the survival ability of intelligent groups is getting stronger and stronger, and the living environment is getting better and better.

Then all individuals who should not leave offspring...most of them will leave offspring.

In this way, the gene pool of the group naturally becomes a shelter for a large number of harmful mutations.

But the volume and shelf life of the shelter... are limited.

The technological capabilities of civilization have not developed enough to enter the interstellar era, especially in the ancient times when the spiritual world corridors have not yet appeared. Once this deadline is exceeded, what will happen...no one knows.

In short, it will not be a good thing.

There is a high probability that civilization will be directly extinct under the dual effects of bad internal and external factors.

"But it is called optimization, in a sense..."

Mu Cang pondered quietly, "The essence of the millennium optimization plan implemented by Saint Emperor Westram on ancient humans... should be called potential mining."

As for where the potential of ancient humans comes from, you have to ask the hungry god Westram.

Eternally, the hungry gods led by him used various methods to torture the ancient earth civilization for hundreds of millions of years, bringing endless pain to the ancient humans and leaving a terrifying number of traumas in their genes and soul structures.

Mu Cang believes that these shocking traumas or "traces" are actually the source of the potential of ancient humans.

If you want to make an analogy, you can use the evolutionary history of humans on Blue Star as an example.

According to Mu Cang's research long ago, he found that the Blue Star humans he was born from, although their ancestors belonged to the byproducts of the various impacts on the natural world of Blue Star caused by Akenusem when he created the Aurora Clan.

But in the countless thousands of years of long history that followed, the real core driving force of the evolution of humans on Blue Star actually came from the many viruses that exist in nature.

When he was still on Blue Star, Mu Cang discovered that since the farewell between humans and apes, at least 30% of the changes in the structure and composition of proteins synthesized in the bodies of humans on Blue Star were caused by viruses.

Therefore, driven by his strong curiosity, he launched a series of extremely detailed studies on the human genome.

Then Mu Cang discovered that there were thousands of gene fragments left by ancient retroviruses in the genome of humans on Blue Star.

The total number of these fragments accounted for 8% of the 2.9 billion base pairs of human DNA structure.

Don't underestimate this number.

After Mu Cang's research, he found that it was these 8% of gene fragments that dominated and shaped many extremely important physiological functions for humans, or many potential abilities.

For example, some memory functions of the human brain, the size of the heart in the human chest cavity, the development and activation of embryos in the purple palace of human women, the production and operation of human stem cells, the production and function of the purple palace placenta, the activation and shutdown of the human immune system, etc., even including many physical superpowers, are all closely related to many endogenous retrovirus codes.

Therefore, a large number of genetic traits that humans have inherited from various ancestral species in various historical stages are likely to be the result of the evolution of endogenous retrovirus genes in long-term random mutations.

Among these ‘results’, some will become normal physiological functions that future generations of humans are accustomed to, while others will be hidden in the human genome and become the source of the existence and operation of many superpowers.

In a large number of subsequent studies, Mu Cang also found that many viral fragments in the human genome are likely to be caused by dozens of infections.

And this kind of thing where a certain virus infects the distant ancestors of all mankind may have happened hundreds or thousands of times in the long history of human evolution.

So if we look at it from a more macro level, it can be said that the entire history of human evolution actually has signs of a large number of viruses participating in shaping.

These signs or the ‘traces’ left by the virus invasion are the potential of humans on Blue Star.

However, the core driving force of the evolution of ancient humans who look the same as humans on Blue Star is completely different.

The power that shaped them and gave them unparalleled potential... obviously came from the hungry god clan and from the various transformations that Westram has been making for hundreds of millions of years.

Mu Cang even speculated that the reason why the Saint Emperor was able to evolve to the extraordinary level and even to the overlord level so quickly was that he fully developed his great potential.

"However, the subsequent progress of the Holy Emperor should be free from the so-called transformation, genes, bloodline and other concepts, because the real peerless strong... has never been related to the so-called genes and bloodline." (For the reason, see Chapter 88)

Mu Cang smiled leisurely, "The real strong have their own unique reason, and the strong will definitely believe in their own reason, no matter whether this reason is right or wrong, good or evil, black or white.

All reason is cognition, and cognition is composed of three elements: concept, logic, and standard. Language and words will always be labels of concepts.

As long as you believe in your own reason, believe in your cognition, and verify that cognition successfully, you will have strong confidence.

The so-called confidence, further is belief, and going deep into it and sublimating it will condense into a belief.

This confidence will stimulate huge potential and give birth to a fearless mentality. Under the influence of the two, spirituality will gradually change and strength will gradually increase."

After finishing his thoughts, Mu Cang quickly flipped through the historical scenes.

After satisfying his curiosity to a certain extent, he, who had already reached the level of super-galaxy cluster combat power, completely lost interest in the subsequent interstellar--\u003e\u003e

war history of the Holy Emperor and was too lazy to read it carefully.
