8: The establishment of the Umbrella Corporation marks a pivotal historical juncture!

"Start a ten-pull!"

Brilliant light flashed, and ten talents appeared one by one.

Su Bai glanced at them.

It was a bit of a pity; no purple talent appeared this time, but there was a good blue talent.

【Steady Development: Blue Talent, reduces the instinct for infighting among creatures, ensures stable development, and maximizes the growth of civilization.】

"This is the one."

Su Bai satisfactorily chose this talent, then picked again, selecting another talent.

【Natural Resources: Blue Talent, accelerates the formation of natural resources, such as petroleum, natural gas, iron ore... and other natural resources.】

The last one was naturally 'Civilization Enlightenment'.

With the talents selected, the simulator began to run:

【Starting the Journey of Creation—】

【In the beginning of chaos, the Creator God Su Bai awakened, the Origin Realm was opened, initial world area: 200 kilometers!】

【Early First Era, you said, "Let there be rain," and so rain was born, and the first life appeared in the Origin Realm.】

【Time passed, the Cambrian Period arrived, and life experienced its first great explosion.】

【Under abundant oxygen, creatures began to evolve towards gigantism. This period lasted for hundreds of millions of years, until an extraterrestrial meteorite fell, breaking the era ruled by giant beasts.】

【The talent 'Natural Resources' takes effect!】

【Mid-First Era, a great extinction of creatures occurred. The bodies of the dead giant beasts were buried deep underground, accumulating over time and gradually decomposing into petroleum, natural gas..., and a large amount of mineral resources were born.】

【In addition, due to the influence of natural disasters, Australopithecus descended to land and began a new round of evolution.】

【The talent 'Steady Development' takes effect!】

【Late First Era, under the influence of the talent, they gradually developed and grew strong, quickly entering the Stone Age.】

【The spark of civilization was born; early products such as tools, farming, astronomy, geography, religious beliefs... had all emerged. Civilization reached the peak of the Stone Age and was about to enter the Bronze Age.】

【Do you choose to deploy the Mutated Sun Ladder and the Nidipaya Leader in this period?】

"Last time, the Mutated Sun Ladder died in its slumber, seemingly beginning a new round of evolution. It's time to let it continue its previous journey."

As for the Nidipaya Leader,

he retained the memories of the previous simulation, which could accelerate the process of civilization's evolution.

Su Bai thought for a moment,

then chose to deploy both simultaneously, to see what would happen.

【Early Second Era, you took action, deploying the Mutated Sun Ladder in the Northern Region, and the Nidipaya Leader in the center of the human tribe.】

【The Mutated Sun Ladder awoke from despair, bewildered to find the world as it was. It felt something was amiss, but its nascent consciousness did not support a deeper investigation.】

【The Mutated Sun Ladder fell into slumber again.】

"Why is it sleeping again?"

Su Bai's mouth twitched, but it was fine. The Mutated Sun Ladder was simply too powerful for the humans of this era.

It was better to give human civilization some time to develop.

【At the same time, a golden light fell into the central human tribe, and a man dressed in animal skins appeared before everyone.】

【The Nidipaya Leader silently rose. He possessed the memories of the previous simulation and was determined not to let everything repeat itself!】

【Using the miracle of his descent from the heavens, he began to call himself the Great Priest and re-established the Holy Terra Sect from the previous simulation, his faith in you becoming even more devout.】

【The Holy Terra Sect began to develop, creation points +50.】

【The talent 'Civilization Enlightenment' takes effect!】

【Under the leadership of the Great Priest, human civilization flourished, entering the Bronze Age and inaugurating a completely new slave society!】

【A slave civilization was born, and kingship rose, no longer content to be subservient to divine authority. To prevent division, the Great Priest voluntarily yielded, leading the Holy Terra Sect to the Northern Region, and the era of monarchical rule began.】

【The Great Priest, as the leader of divine authority, arrived in the Northern Region. Here, he once again saw that terrifying golden sea of flowers. He originally wanted to flee, but for some unknown reason, a power in his bloodline seemed to draw him there.】

【The Holy Terra Sect settled in the Northern Region and built temples. The Great Priest, relying on his vague memories of you, constructed a faceless, pure white idol!】

【At the same time, to pass on his memories and prevent the catastrophe of world destruction from recurring, the Great Priest decided to cultivate the sun ladder again. After hundreds of years of continuous attempts.】

【Finally, before the Great Priest's death, another Sun Vassal was born.】

【The Great Priest passed his position to the new Sun Vassal and then died, his body seemingly absorbed by something, turning directly into a pile of dust.】

"Was it the Mutated Sun Ladder? Reclaiming power after death?"

Su Bai pondered carefully.

Supernatural creatures nurture high energy, and the energy required for evolution is incredibly vast. This could explain why the Mutated Sun Ladder had to devour other creatures in the previous simulation.

However, due to Su Bai's restrictions,

the Mutated Sun Ladder dared not continue devouring, and could only gradually accumulate energy for evolution through this method of slow accumulation.

"This is good too; it also avoids the birth of too many Sun Vassals and disrupting the original timeline."

Su Bai nodded slightly.

He no longer paid attention, and the simulator continued to deduce, with lines of black text constantly appearing:

【The Holy Terra Sect referred to successive Great Priests as God-Favored Ones and strictly adhered to the will of the first Great Priest, henceforth isolating themselves in the Northern Region and no longer influencing human civilization.】

【Human civilization began to accelerate its development.】

【Mid-Second Era, humanity entered the feudal age and developed rudimentary gunpowder. Due to differences in skin, appearance, and race, internal divisions arose among humans, categorizing them into three distinct races.】

【The three major races each occupied a region and developed independently. After thousands of years of evolution, the Caucasian people in the West were the first to break through the bottleneck, inventing firearms and cannons, and initiating the magnificent Age of Sail.】

【The Mongoloid people in the East had their doors forcibly opened, and the Negroid people in the South were taken away, becoming commodities to be freely traded. Human civilization entered the capitalist era!】

【Thereafter, humanity successively experienced two great wars. After these two wars, human scientific and technological advancements made breakthroughs again, putting one foot into modern society!】

【The internet was born, and humanity ushered in a hundred years of peaceful development.】

【creation points +1000 (civilization evolved to the internet age).】

【The Resident Evil template takes effect.】

【The Holy Terra Sect, long isolated in the Northern Region, received a divine revelation. They brought sub-bodies of the sun ladder into human society and formed the Umbrella Corporation, beginning to research a new virus to filter out a new type of human.】

【At the same time, the slumbering Mutated Sun Ladder also began to awaken. Its prolonged hunger made it irritable, but constrained by your will, it dared not easily go out to hunt.】

【A critical historical node has appeared. Do you choose to let the Mutated Sun Ladder awaken?】

【Note: Choosing 'Yes' will trigger the Resident Evil. Choosing 'No' will lead the world down another path.】
