The first ray of vitality...
Following the emergence of this line of text, above the barren sand table, the spit-in ether merged into a wisp of cloud, floating in emptiness, and then slowly sinking towards the earth.
Integrate into the rapidly evolving world and disappear.
There was no change in the field of vision, but in Lin Tuo's vague perception, there seemed to be a trace of life in the absolute barrenness.
"Wow..."
The waves rolled.
"Boom..."
The land uplifts and subsides.
At this moment, Lin Tuo vaguely felt that the acceleration of time seemed to be accelerating, at least compared with when creating No. 1 sandbox, the gap was significant.
The specific principle is unknown.
But even so, it still takes at least a few hours to complete the preparations for the birth of life.
Lin Tuo's eyes flickered, and he came to the desk.
Pick up a ballpoint pen and a notebook, and record the results of this experiment.
The attempt just now was of course a small experiment, and the price paid was not much.
If it was in the past, Lin Tuo would not have dared to be so extravagant, but for him now, obtaining ether is not an urgent matter.
He encountered a new bottleneck:
The progress of body quenching has stagnated.
"Excluding the changes in the body when absorbing a ray of ether, in a real sense, the first time the progress of body tempering has improved is my attempt to polish my physical fitness, using weight-bearing, and exercising the body to speed up the body's absorption of ether."
Lin Tuo silently wrote "Circle One" in his notebook.
Well, this is also the method that regions represented by Yangcheng are currently trying to popularize.
"However, this method quickly becomes inefficient. The second acceleration is to enter the wasteland and fight those mutated creatures..."
Lin Tuo drew a "circle two".
This step is similar to what Li Tai said, making the spirit and body tense through fighting. Lin Tuo did it very thoroughly, so the improvement is obvious.
However, when he left the wasteland, Lin Tuo felt that the improvement in this way had slowed down. Therefore, during this period of time, he mainly focused on exercise and natural digestion.
"The third promotion is the unexpected ether impact of the praying candle... At the cost of a small amount of damage to the body, the body tempering progress has gone a step further, but now it has stalled again."
Lin Tuo silently wrote "Circle Three" with a thoughtful expression on his face.
In the sandbox, Hathaway and other practitioners lived longer than ordinary people, which further strengthened Lin Tuo's desire to evolve himself. However, he did not have a smooth evolution path in his hands.
Unlike novels and stories, there is always a clear, first-level, second-level... upward, the name may be different, but the path is clear.
Not available in the store either.
Lin Tuo also asked Hathaway and others about the situation, but did not get a satisfactory answer.
Practitioners in No. 2 sandbox basically follow the principle of "time accumulation", that is, spend decades, practice persistently, and learn spell models... like this.
And Hathaway and other high-level transcendents are basically the result of intertwining talent and hard work.
The process of growing up is full of accidents, and there is no path to high-level transcendence in a daze.
Its power is mainly based on the proficiency in the use of various spells... On the body, it has not distanced itself from Lin Tuo.
So, after much deliberation, Lin Tuo decided to adjust his "strategic direction".
In the past, there was a lack of ether, so I tried every means to increase the concentration.
Right now, the quenching body has entered a bottleneck period, no matter how much ether there is, it is meaningless to store it in the body, so we need to find a way to break through the bottleneck.
"My personal wisdom is limited, so instead of burying my head in thinking, it is better to give the sandbox sufficient cultivation conditions, and use the 'generation gap' accelerated by time to let the practitioners in the sandbox find a way."
Lin Tuo concentrated and meditated.
It's not easy, and the success rate may not be high, but you have to try.
Of course, this process also requires a certain investment.
When necessary, it is not impossible to spit out all the ether you have saved.
"Money is only money when it is spent, and it is paper if it is kept in your hands."
Thinking of this, he didn't think too much about it immediately, and immersed himself in sorting out the plan, and sorted out the spell books he had collected by the way.
Speaking of which, since I took the time to put a new batch of books back in the room, hundreds of books are piled up there, and it really fits the temperament of the "study room" more and more.
…
…
For the next whole day, Lin Tuo was not idle, and only took time to look at the public opinion on the Internet during his lunch break.
Overall not expected, but the details are also different.
The news of the "expansion of the black box" swept the Internet in just a few hours, making the people who have suffered the shock look a little numb.
There are different explanations for this round of anomalies, but the most worrying.
"Now the black box is as big as the whole of Europe, what if it continues to expand?" Someone said worriedly.
Unfortunately, no one can give an answer.
…
Time goes on and the sandbox keeps changing.
At night, Lin Tuo took the time to take a look, and found that the changes in the landforms had basically stopped, and plants appeared in the whole world.
When Lin Tuo got up early the next morning, he came to the sand table again, and what he saw was a land full of vitality.
In the middle of the sea, mountains, river valleys, grasslands, forests... are arranged on the vast and boundless land, and some animals that have not yet enlightened can be seen vaguely.
Open the operation log and take a look.
The world has evolved for nearly a billion years.
"Eh?" Compared to this number, what really surprised Lin Tuo was the wisps of bluish-white aura faintly visible in the sky.
"ether?"
Lin Tuo was stunned for a moment. He was sure that the No. 3 sandbox had not yet produced human beings, so where did these ethers come from? Is it the ones I spit out from my previous experiments
But before that, they had clearly disappeared.
How could it happen again
Surprised, Lin Tuo tried to suspend the time acceleration, and then used the evolution sand table to observe the distribution of these ethers.
His gaze turned to the relatively most "rich" part of the ether.
It was a green and primitive mountain.
Use the "Zoom" ability to zoom in on this area, stretch the map, and reveal more details. Immediately, Lin Tuo raised his eyebrows.
At this moment, he actually saw an "ether thread"!
The blue and white thread can only be born if you practice the ether!
This discovery stunned him briefly.
"It's weird."
This is obviously not in line with common sense. If the "existence of ether" is positively related to "smart life", then the existence of the "thread of ether" means that there is life trying to absorb and cultivate.
But in this ancient age when human beings were not yet born, how could there be
"No, no, this is different from the lines produced by cultivation." Lin Tuo suddenly realized this.
Whether it's around Yangcheng or the superhumans in No. 2 sandbox.
As long as one can enter the state of cultivation and step over this threshold, no matter what one's talent is, the ether lines produced by it will always be more obvious.
But the line in front of him is even thinner than the line drawn by the person with the worst qualifications.
The colors are also lighter.
Weak, as if it would be interrupted at any time.
This is also the reason why he didn't notice it just now, and he couldn't observe it until he zoomed in.
"What is it?"
That very thin, very small line formed by the blue and white air hangs high in the sky at one end and falls into the dense forest on the top of the mountain at the other end, but it cannot be seen.
Without any hesitation, Lin Tuo immediately reached out to the mountain with his right hand. At the same time, the light in the transparent palm condensed and summoned the clone.
"Consciousness switch!"
…
In the next second, inside the huge black box in the Pacific Ocean.
Just over a billion years old, on this young land full of primitive and wild atmosphere, there is a mountain peak covered with verdant plants.
The air twisted slightly, and Lin Tuo's clone descended here.
"Go." With a thought, Lin Tuo locked onto the lonely line with the help of his body, and fell straight towards the top of the mountain.
Not long after, the originally dense forest "thinned out", and he finally saw clearly the life that stimulated the ether.
I saw a jasper-like green vine slowly stretching its body under the sun.
It crawled on the surface of a huge stone, grasping it tightly, its roots buried in the barren stone crevices, and its branches and leaves tried their best to stretch out, shaking slightly, as if humans were breathing.
"Is it an ivy?" Lin Tuo froze for a moment, with a strange expression on his face.
what is this
Between heaven and earth, before the rise of the human race, a vine that swallowed the "essence of heaven and earth"
Or, should it be called a... demon
This is a bit beyond understanding.
"Could it be the spirit world... No, according to the information I have concluded, the correct logic is that there are intelligent life first, and then, due to some unknown rules, the ether is drawn from the spirit world...
So, it shouldn't be a creature from the spirit world... Could it be that the ether I spit in before was born in reverse? "
Lin Tuo frowned, lost in thought.
"Is the existence of ether itself will give birth to intelligent life, or does the mouthful of ether I spit out contain 'spirituality'? This vine is initially intelligent because of 'spirituality'?"
It's hard to say, but Lin Tuo intuitively thinks it's the latter.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Tuo continued to approach the mountain, and seemed to sense his presence. The vine covered with bluestone suddenly trembled, as if extremely frightened.
The weak strand of "ether thread" was also disconnected.
"Have you really begun to have wisdom?" Lin Tuo's eyes were shining, and he jumped down, ready for protection, and then raised his hand to touch.
[Special items are detected, do you want to analyze them?]
The virtual panel pops up, and a familiar pop-up window appears.
"Analysis!"
A progress bar flashed by.
