Mecha Star Wars.

Will humans destroy themselves?

How come it is so similar to their current situation?

You guys on Tiandu Star looked at each other, and we all felt guilty.

Everyone on the Noah was wondering in their hearts: Is this planet cursed? Why does it keep being destroyed?

As technology has advanced, people are inevitably aware of their own shortcomings while enjoying it. After all, people with outstanding IQs are still a minority, and most people are mediocre. They may even lose their jobs after being replaced by machines.

In order to improve the overall quality of human beings, the group of people at the top of the tower started to improve genes, hoping to achieve a leap in the overall quality of human beings by strengthening the dominant sequences in genes and weakening or eliminating inferior and mediocre genes.

"Gene?" Antonio felt bad when he heard the word. "This thing can't be DIY assembled. You can't just take it apart and replace it. Their ability is far from enough to dismantle and modify genes, right?"

As for genetic experiments, that was something Nuwa was playing with. Even the octopus man who could develop his brain world couldn't easily manipulate it.

The development of Tiandu Star in the second generation is roughly the same as that of Lan Star. It has not even reached the first-level civilization, so it is impossible to succeed no matter how you think about it.

"Yeah..." The old tree sighed, "They...overestimated..."

The rapid development of high technology gives people an illusion, an illusion of omnipotence.

Coupled with the prevalence of AI, the inflated self-confidence, assisted by its precise accuracy, has led to the demise of a society that was originally on a good track.

"Didn't the Son of God come out to stop it?" Lin Fan was surprised. "At that time, there seemed to be quite a few Sons of God around, right?"

The old tree sighed.

The division of the Son of God began at that time.

Some people support humanity. Even if they know it is not feasible, they let their children try more. If they hit a wall, they will know to turn back. Why stop them? Time will correct everything.

Another group of people objected. Why waste time when you know the impossible result? Knowing that the child has gone astray, but not pulling him back in time, but encouraging him to sink deeper into the mud, even if he realizes his mistakes and returns to the right path, isn't the time and energy in between a waste?

Neither side could convince the other, but the voice of opposition had already reached the ears of mankind.

At that time, humans had a relatively close relationship with the Sons of God. They knew of their existence, respected and venerated them, and never missed worshipping them during festivals and celebrations.

So when they found out that the Son of God was arguing about this, they sent someone to say that the plan was on hold and asked everyone to stop arguing.

"They lied to you?" Antonio could almost imagine what was going to happen next. "It wasn't actually over, and by the time you found out it was already too late?"

"Yes and no." The old tree sighed.

Human desires are always difficult to satisfy. The genetic project has been shelved, but some people are unwilling to give up.

Everything is pointing to the light, why do we have to stop?

The instruments, equipment and venues were all ready, and these people continued their research quietly.

"The authorities must know about this," Lin Fan guessed. "This kind of large-scale experiment, with the space and equipment required, can't really be carried out quietly."

Of course the authorities knew about it. Although they made a promise to the Son of God, they did not stop their subordinates from keeping silent.

Anyway, the worst that can happen is that the experiment fails. If it succeeds, it will prove their ability to the Son of God.

Yes, with the development of science and technology, the Son of God no longer exerts his strength frequently. Humans, who have not seen "miracles" for a long time, can live very conveniently with the help of high-tech products.

The development of science and technology has greatly weakened mankind's faith in the Son of God.

They still respect and still care, but they are not as obedient as before.

Everyone underestimated the severity of experimental failure, thinking that failure was just a lack of success, and never thought of the more terrible consequences.

By the time the news of zombies eating people broke out, the entire city had already been destroyed.

Those bigots with lofty ideals were the first to sacrifice themselves.

They have lost their minds and feed on flesh and blood. They bite any living thing they see, and their hands have turned into sharp claws with terrifying strength.

Any living creature whose epidermis is pierced by them will inevitably be assimilated in a short period of time.

Then, just like a plague, the disease spread from one person to another, and from one city to another.

This deadly threat spreads quickly through various means, including birds and animals.

By the time the sons of God who lived in seclusion in the high temple found out, one third of them had already turned into zombies.

"Can't the World Tree monitor the dynamics of the planet in real time?" Cen Fangyuan wondered, "How come it took so long to find out?"

"Yes, you can." Jin Sichen explained, "But no one would stare at it all the time, right? The amount of data on a planet is incalculable. The ugly woman just woke up and knew very little about Lanxing, so she used this method to learn about the situation. Except for the fight later and in some rare cases, no one would be patient enough to watch these things. It's like watching ants moving, it's not very interesting."

"Moreover, the Son of God of Tiandu Star is obviously more closely tied to humans and trusts them very much. In this case, it is even more impossible to monitor them in real time. Do you put a camera in your child's bedroom and keep an eye on him?"

The Sons of God intervened urgently and curbed the process of zombieization, but they could not completely eliminate it. And because the first group to fall were highly educated researchers, perhaps with high IQs and excellent genes, their zombies actually evolved wisdom.

It's not the wisdom of flexible thinking that can rival others, but the instinct to face danger.

Because the researchers are stuck, it has become impossible to crack the gene sequence and find an antidote.

The Son of God gene that the Tiandu people carry is partially immune to the Son of God's abilities, even if they become zombies. After all, the Son of God gene is the focus of optimization...

The situation at that time was even more serious than the current situation on Tiandu Star. Zombies surged like a sea wave, and humans had no time to build sufficient defenses.

In the end, they still had to rely on the power of the World Tree to circle out a few defense bases, and after a hectic construction, they were able to stabilize the situation.

But the situation is still not optimistic.

Although the Son of God's ability is effective, it is immune to a certain extent. Ordinary people rely too much on technology. Although they have supernatural talents, few people have developed supernatural powers. It is not easy to deal a blow to zombies in a short period of time.

The World Tree can only increase the amount of spiritual energy released to help it grow faster. Unfortunately, zombies can also absorb spiritual energy and become stronger.

Fortunately, they only absorb passively, unlike humans who have subjectivity and systematic methods, and the speed is slower, so humans still have a glimmer of hope.

"Then why not let the World Tree kill all those zombies?" Antonio was curious, "Wouldn't the World Tree's purification function be able to kill these things on a large scale?"

Lao Shu replied that it was still a question of genetic immunity.

The ancestors of this generation of Tiandu people survived by relying on the World Tree and the Son of God, and carried the genes of both in their bodies. Despite thousands of years of iteration, this powerful gene has not disappeared, but has been ignored by modern people.

The World Tree is an energy tree that provides protection for the planet. Its power to destroy people of the same origin is greatly reduced. In addition, the previous environmental purifications have greatly weakened the tree's energy. Moreover, it also needs to provide spiritual support for the Son of God and humans. In this dilemma, only one can be chosen.

"I see. Killing monsters is indeed not as cost-effective as charging to improve overall quality." Antonio nodded. "By the way, where is the World Tree? We have been looking for it for so long and still have no clue."

"Ahem..." Lao Shu coughed a few times, "It's me."

This answer was not unexpected, but he added another sentence.

"I sacrificed myself to the tree... I have already... merged into it..."
