Chapter 549 Background Introduction (Transition Chapter)
A drop of ink dropped into the ocean will have no effect, but until it is completely diluted, it will indeed stain a small area of water.
The same principle applies to the disasters caused by immortals after their birth.
The newly born immortal consciousness will be diluted by the world consciousness and gradually lose their identity, but before being completely diluted, their power will affect a fairly wide area of the planet.
After that entire civilization ascended collectively, several surrounding galaxies, including the galaxy where that civilization was located, were affected accordingly.
The first to be affected were those planets that had not yet given birth to civilization. The creatures on them gradually changed under the interference of some special information. The body posture and appearance of some creatures with better adaptability gradually tended to the image of the immortal race.
Finally, after tens or even millions of years of evolution, the appearance of these creatures became identical to that of the immortal race, and even the genes in their bodies became the same.
And because of the influence of information omitted by the world's rules, creatures like this are more likely to develop intelligence than normally evolving creatures.
So, unknowingly, all the intelligent creatures in these galaxies have turned into a race with extremely similar appearance - that is, humans.
When the number of individuals in a human race reaches a certain limit, it becomes particularly easy for some "special beings" to be born.
These special beings look no different from normal humans, but because their innate brain shape and mental fluctuations are similar to those of a member of the race that ascended originally, they are particularly easy to receive some information from the corresponding member.
Because the personality has been diluted by the world, this information basically only contains some knowledge that the individual once possessed.
For a being who has once ascended to become an immortal, it goes without saying what knowledge is most likely to remain in his mind.
Then the disaster began to spread.
The new intelligent race obtained the knowledge left by the immortals due to various coincidences, and faced with the ability to evolve their own life essence, naturally no one would resist using it.
Because the civilization whose entire members once ascended has explored the path of life evolution to the extreme, no matter what level of civilization the recipient is at, it can find an evolutionary method suitable for its own civilization.
From the most basic genetic technology to mechanical assistance, even if the level of civilization is too low to produce any special machinery, it can simply use spiritual interests to hone its own vitality and thus meet the requirements of life evolution.
In addition, the mental fluctuations of those who can obtain this knowledge are quite similar to those of the immortals who have ascended to heaven, so their practice will become very smooth, which is the so-called "divine help".
The life evolution speed of those "special beings" is already fast, and after receiving the knowledge of the immortals, their life evolution is combined with the immortals' technology, and their life safety is also guaranteed.
So soon, after those special beings accepted the knowledge, another immortal would be born in just a few years.
When the first pioneer appears in a civilization, after seeing the huge benefits of the evolution of life, many other people in the civilization will immediately join the ranks of exploring the evolution of life for various reasons.
Even if this special being who has already cultivated into an immortal has been hiding this from everyone since the beginning of his cultivation, after he becomes an immortal, before his individual consciousness is completely diluted by the cosmic consciousness, his information influence on this planet will be enhanced beyond imagination.
When the first immortal appears on a planet, the proportion of children born on this planet who have the "qualifications" suitable for life evolution will become higher and higher.
So on a cosmic scale, the second and third immortals will soon appear on this planet.
The emergence of new immortals will promote the positive cycle of life evolution on this planet. More and more immortals will be born, and eventually at some point, all people on this planet will undergo another collective life evolution.
Then, the cycle of spreading disaster begins.

"Hiss... So there is such a thing in the past. If that's the case, then isn't the Milky Way already on the brink of danger?"
Wu Da listened to Zheng Shu's story with his eyes wide open, then picked up the food in front of him and started eating.
Besides Zheng Shu, a group of people from Wu Zheng Samadhi also came over to him at some point and listened to Zheng Shu's story like curious babies.
"Strictly speaking, the Milky Way is not on the brink of danger, but has already stepped into the abyss, but has been pulled back."
Zheng Shu narrowed his eyes and scanned the group of people in front of him, then his expression became a little strange:
"Also, I have a question. If all of you are here, then who is driving the spaceship?!"
"what!"
"It happened!"
“I forgot!”
After Zheng Shu's reminder, the people around were in a panic, and soon the reception room became empty again.
After scolding away the group of idle crew members around him, Wu Da returned to the table and looked at Zheng Shu with curiosity.
"What do you mean by being pulled back again? Could it be that the person you met was the one who pulled the galaxy back from crisis?"
"No, although that guy also contributed a lot, strictly speaking, he can only be regarded as a follow-up maintenance staff. The two groups of people who truly saved the Milky Way and even the Earth from the brink of complete destruction were one group of immortals who have been assimilated by the universe for countless years. As for the other group..."
Zheng Shu paused for a moment and glanced at Wu Da: "They are the immortals born on Earth."
……
……
Immortals will be assimilated by the will of the universe after they are born, but this does not mean that they cannot resist.
Over the long years, countless immortals have been assimilated by the will of the universe. Although it is still unable to completely influence the entire will of the universe, in certain limited areas, the remaining obsessions of the clustered wills of the immortals can accumulate and cause this small part of the will of the universe to change a little bit.
It is with the help of this slight change that human beings on Earth have finally embarked on a completely different path.
The first person on earth to come into contact with the information left by the immortals was the founder of Taoism: Lao Tzu.
When Lao Tzu was appreciating nature, he sensed a part of knowledge left by immortals that was consistent with his own spiritual fluctuations, and gradually learnt how to use the "Innate Qi" according to the technological level at that time. At this time, Lao Tzu became the first extraordinary person in the world.
Immediately afterwards, Lao Tzu summarized his method of using the innate Qi, and the initial exercises began to spread.
The skills at that time were not systematized and were probably obscure and difficult to understand, so they were difficult to comprehend. However, they were indeed the methods of cultivation that could lead to becoming an immortal.
So some talented people began to create new skills on this basis, and then gradually spread them.
However, things changed when Laozi became an immortal. After becoming an immortal, he discovered the situation and truth of the immortals.
According to normal procedures, individual will would not be able to hold out for even a moment under the impact of the cosmic will and would be dispersed.
Then the self-existence will be constantly diluted until it disappears.
But the immortals' obsession accumulated over the years finally took effect at this moment, and they helped Laozi withstand the impact of the will of the universe.
Of course, the time is very short. If converted into time that humans can understand, it may not even reach one hundredth of a nanosecond.
But such a short time was enough for Laozi to react and realize his mistakes. He understood that he could no longer resist and could only place his hopes on those who came later.
So he used the power of the immortal to create something.
"What is it?" Wu Da asked curiously.
"Hmm... I remember you said that you actually know a lot about the alien world, right?"
"Yes."
"Then you should know what those sorcerers use for divination."
After Zheng Shu's reminder, Wu Da immediately thought of the answer: "Inner space?"
"The scientific name of that thing is 'Subconscious Sea Hidden Self-discipline Defense Space'. It is a defense line that I created at that moment using all the knowledge recorded in the Heavenly Dao. Of course, because time is tight, even if I use my power, I can only create a prototype.
It is just a prototype, which creates more time for other younger generations who will achieve immortality in the future."
During the Warring States Period, the second immortal, Yang Zhu, appeared.
Yang Zhu combined the experience of his predecessors and integrated his understanding to form a relatively complete set of "gongfa" suitable for cultivation by humans on Earth.
If it was the previous planet, the emergence of this technique would have accelerated the fall of the planet, but the defense line I set up in advance turned the situation around.
When he was about to become an immortal, Yang Zhu also discovered the "legacy" left by Lao Tzu and obtained relevant information from it.
Unfortunately, the process of his life evolution could no longer be interrupted at this point. Although he used the inner space to continuously delay the time of becoming an immortal, it could only delay it.
Because of this, Yang Zhu was able to modify his own martial arts to create a huge flaw.
Then, when he turned into an immortal, he took advantage of the moment when the inner space was blocked and used his own power to make the inner space more perfect.
After Yang Zhu came Zhang Daoling from the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Zhang Daoling was indeed a man of extraordinary talent. He collected previous skills and created various techniques based on them.
Not only did it correct the flaws in the martial arts that Yang Zhu had previously created, but it could also help extraordinary people grow.
When he was about to evolve into an immortal, he used the legacy left by the previous two immortals to delay longer and made more preparations.
Zhang Daoling understood human nature very well, so he did not choose the extreme method of completely banning cultivation, but chose another path.
He improved the original practice method that could lead to immortality. Although it became easier to practice and the combat effectiveness was stronger, it basically cut off the possibility of becoming an immortal.
While he destroyed all the skills he had collected, he began to promote the improved skills of the Tianshi Mansion he founded.
In addition, the disaster context that the complete practice would cause was sealed in the Tianshi Degree, which not only ensured the inheritance of information, but also could monitor whether there would be similar practices left in the world. Therefore, the responsibility of the Tianshi in the Tianshi Mansion was not only to lead the righteous path, but also to protect the Tianshi Degree.
However, since the skills previously passed down by Yang Zhu are still circulating in the world, Zhang Daoling cannot completely ban them with his mortal body.
So after completing those previous things, the only thing he could do was to repair the inner space again after becoming an immortal to make it more perfect.
After Zhang Daoling became an immortal, the earth entered a stage where geniuses emerged rapidly due to the feedback between the immortal's will and the world's will.
At the same time, due to Zhang Daoling's repairs, the interior space was gradually exposed to a group of extraordinary people who were good at deduction.
However, due to their insufficient cultivation, they could only use the very limited power of the inner space and did not understand the true function of this thing at all.
During this period, not only did people with innate supernatural powers appear, but also many geniuses with the appearance of immortals.
The founder of Quanzhen Sect in the Tang Dynasty, Lü Dongbin; the Grand Master of Shangqing Sect in the Jin Dynasty, Madam Wei; Bodhidharma in the Northern and Southern Dynasties; Dao Ji in the Southern Song Dynasty; Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of Wudang Sect in the late Yuan Dynasty...
The founders of each sect were all gifted with natural talents, and Zhang Daoling's initial blockade of the complete cultivation method was not perfect enough, so these geniuses who already had the "immortal qualities" were still able to successfully cultivate to the immortal realm.
Similarly, the founders of these various sects also realized the problems with the complete methods of cultivating immortals when they were about to become immortals, so they imitated Zhang Daoling's method, left behind their Taoist traditions, and passed down their own modified methods that were impossible to become immortals.
At the same time, he set up restrictions in the inheritance he left behind, so that the leader of each generation could understand the corresponding situation and also monitor the strange people in the world.
And with the joint efforts of many immortals, the inner space was finally able to completely cut off the resonance of the remaining consciousness of the immortals on Earth.
The reason why the thirty-six thieves were hunted down by all the famous and upright sects was because Wu Gensheng obtained a complete immortal inheritance that Yang Zhu had not had time to destroy.
This is also the reason why the remaining survivors of the Thirty-Six Thieves were able to comprehend the Eight Wonders so easily. They crossed the blockade of the inner space through the inheritance of the immortals and obtained some relevant knowledge.
Since the Earth itself is located in a remote area of the Milky Way, it can almost be regarded as the first planet in the Milky Way to come into contact with the will of the immortals. In addition, due to the blockade of the inner space, the erosion of the Milky Way by the will of the immortals is actually blocked by the Earth.
However, the erosion of the Milky Way by the immortal will has already begun to show results, and the fact that the vast majority of intelligent races in the Milky Way are humans is evidence of this.
