161: The Mao people, the Lemurian civilization, the birth of a 'Shukaku' and a 'three-colored potion'

The template loaded, a brilliant light descended upon a continent in the Origin Realm.

It was tens of thousands of kilometers wide!

Upon it,

Traces of rampant demonic beasts still remained. In the center of the land, the tree of omniscience stood, its aura gradually growing profound... [Do you wish to start a new round of creation simulation?]

"Start!"

Su Bai did not hesitate.

The next moment, one hundred creation points disappeared, and the creation simulator began!

... [Beginning the journey of creation—]

[Early First Epoch, the barren land retained traces of rampant demonic beasts. Their lingering demonic flames burned fiercely, never extinguished to this day!]

[The demonic flames burned for an entire Epoch!]

[They almost incinerated everything on the land, until the Second Epoch, when the tree of omniscience briefly awakened, and a terrifying torrent of life erupted!]

[Tens of thousands of life seeds sank into the soil, scattering across this continent!]

[Thereafter,]

[Thousands more years passed, and the world began to revive. Rivers returned, trees were born, and the earliest life forms evolved accordingly...]

[Mid-Second Epoch, among the earliest life forms, a sentient race was born.]

[They were naked, covered in fur, and extremely skilled at concocting herbal medicines. Relying on this ability, they established a transcendent civilization coexisting with plants.]

[Sentient Race—the hairy people, born!]

[Transcendent Civilization—the Lemurian Civilization, born!]

[creation points +1600]

"They don't possess transcendence, what a pity."

Su Bai shook his head. This civilization was quite novel, but without transcendent power, if they developed technology, the time required would be too long.

It wouldn't be worth it.

The simulator continued:

[The Lemurian Civilization was born! The Second Epoch became the era of the hairy people. Perhaps due to a flaw in their bloodline, although the hairy people occupied the land, they were always unable to expand their population!]

[Because of this, their desire for development was not strong. It took them three thousand years to gradually enter the Stone Age!]

[The hairy people were content with this and did not pursue overly rapid development.]

[However, they did not know that time was limited. Although the demonic beasts died, they left behind demonic beast cores. The birth of every demonic beast required devouring a civilization!]

[If they couldn't resist the demonic beasts, everything before them would just be a fleeting moment!]

[Stars streaked across the sky...]

[The rule of the hairy people lasted for thirteen thousand years, until the Mid-Third Epoch, when the population of the hairy people finally expanded to the center of the world.]

[At the same time,]

[They also saw the tree of omniscience slumbering there!]

[Curiosity can bring progress to a civilization, but it can also bring destruction!]

[Driven by curiosity, the hairy people soon began to research the tree of omniscience, attempting to concoct some special herbal medicines from this unique great tree!]

[If they continued to develop in this direction, given a few more Epochs, they might even develop into a transcendent civilization specializing in elixirs!]

[But clearly, the gods would not give them too much time.]

[Fourth Epoch, Early Stage!]

[Apocalypse descends! Doomsday!]

[At this time, almost all of the mao people had moved near the tree of omniscience and built treehouses on its body. This act awakened the slumbering tree of omniscience.]

[At the same time, it also awakened a demonic beast from its slumber!]

[Roar—]

[A roar, as if from ancient primordial times, came. In the canopy of the tree of omniscience, one of the nine crystal-like gems shattered, and a demonic beast phantom descended. The hunger within him began to devour this civilization!]

[War, bloodshed!]

[Peace had lasted for four entire Epochs. During this period, this continent had never given birth to any transcendent species. For the mao people, the descent of the demonic beast was like an outer-realm demon, unconquerable, a terrifying nightmare!]

[The civilization began to collapse...]

[The establishment of a civilization usually requires thousands of years, or even several Epochs of accumulation. However, destroying a civilization is much simpler; just a few years are enough to destroy a glorious civilization!]

[The Lemurian Civilization, which had ruled the land for three Epochs, collapsed.]

[Large numbers of mao people died, and at the same time, the vitality of this continent was frantically devoured by the rampaging demonic beast!]

[With the influx of a large amount of life energy, the demonic beast's form also began to change...]

[Civilization template 'Naruto' activated!]

[Under the influence of the template, the form of the newborn demonic beast began to evolve towards the Tailed Beasts in Naruto. Its body gathered large patches of sand, looking like a pyramid in the desert from a distance.]

[At the same time, its tail also changed, evolving into a sand tail.]

[It could control sand and wielded the power of the sand element!]

[Diamond Rank Demonic Beast—One-Tails, Shukaku, born!]

"It was born in such a way?"

Su Bai raised an eyebrow, a little surprised that the Nine Tailed Beasts from Naruto would be born in this manner.

This was not a bad thing.

The Tailed Beasts transformed from the Nine Demonic Beast Cores would certainly possess strength far exceeding the descriptions in the original work!

Their potential would also be higher,

Possessing the potential of a Mythic-level legion!

"It seems that the evolution of the One-Tails was dragged down by this civilization. If there were transcendent energy, and the One-Tails absorbed enough civilizational power, it might have broken through to Epic Rank!"

But this was unavoidable.

What kind of transcendent civilization would appear in each evolution was beyond Su Bai's control.

He could only control the general direction of development.

The impact on these details was rather small. This was also an opportunity he gave to the Origin Realm.

God does not control everything.

God provides opportunities.

Any race, any creature, even if not within God's plan, as long as it shows potential, has a chance to be noticed by God, and then to achieve true evolution!

But unfortunately... this civilization seemed not to understand this principle... [The civilization is collapsing!]

[The holy land in the eyes of the mao people, the tree of omniscience, even released a light shield, blocking all mao people from entering!]

[Despair spread...]

[The surviving mao people resolved to continue the flame of civilization. Under the terrifying threat of the One-Tails, even the slow-paced Lemurian Civilization had to develop rapidly...]

[At a speed previously unimaginable, they integrated all the data from the past three Epochs and, with the help of some fallen leaves from the tree of omniscience, conducted research, thereby successfully discovering the existence of transcendence!]

[Not only that, based on this, they developed three different transcendent potions!]

[Named respectively Emerald, Orange-Yellow, and Crimson!]

[Emerald Potion—can increase physical strength by three times, but has a side effect of intense full-body pain!]

[Orange-Yellow Potion—can greatly restore stamina, equivalent to an enhanced version of adrenaline. Even if stamina is exhausted, taking it allows one to endure a fierce battle!]

[Crimson Potion—the most potent effect, and also the most dangerous of the three potions. After consumption, it increases physical strength by one hundred times! At the same time, it may cause certain changes in the body, entering a special 'metamorphosis' state!]

[Transcendent Item—three-color potion, born!]
