"Run away!"
"No escape! We are only the size of a hair on him!"
Countless fleeing insects and apes collapsed to the ground.
When everyone was screaming, a young insect ape stubbornly looked up at the sky, "You giant beast, are you also coming to eat us? You killed Dad, you killed Mom, you killed us!" Brother, why are we so weak..."
Xu Zhi bowed his head, a little surprised that the young insect ape was brave enough to question him.
Then, the choice is yours.
Xu Zhi just stretched out his hand gently and put the worm ape in his palm.
The young insect ape's mind went blank for a moment.
On the palm of this huge creature, there seems to be a boundless continent, and it is only the size of the delicate palm prints on a palm.
When it looked up again, the huge giant's eyes were like ovens, like the bright sun in the sky, and its huge face was bathed in the holy and white light. It couldn't be seen clearly, and it carried a majestic and vast divinity.
Xu Zhi's face was shielded by the insect nest, so they could only see the blurred face emitting a hazy brilliance.
Xu Zhi dragged the tiny insect ape with one hand, his eyes were calm: "Gilgamesh, do you want to change everything?"
The worm ape suddenly trembled and screamed loudly on the palm of his hand, "You can communicate!! What kind of giant are you! In this world, there are intelligent giants of 10,000 feet! How could there be such a perfect existence!?"
He couldn't help trembling and said, "Also, you call me: Gilgamesh?"
"The name is also one of the manifestations of wisdom."
Xu Zhi dragged him with his palm, placed it flat in front of his eyes, and answered calmly.
Standing on the palm of his hand, Gilgamesh looked at the gigantic pupils of the monster, which were comparable to the sun and the moon, and suddenly said: "We can communicate! Then we are the same species, and they are all intelligent species. Why, why don't you save us?" ! You are so powerful! So stalwart!"
They didn't know what they were, they just thought they were a kind of intelligent giant beast similar to these giant beasts, and Xu Zhi didn't intend to explain anything.
Xu Zhi dragged him with his palm, striding around the mountains and rivers.
A large area of trees was trampled down, and he let the weak insect ape look down at the whole world from the palm of his hand, and the loud voice resounded through the sky,
"Look at this world. Every species is equal. You are the same as every plant and every animal. Why should I save you? Just because you have wisdom?"
Gilgamesh was speechless for a moment.
Suddenly, he began to despair, and suddenly shouted: Then why did you come to us
Xu Zhi said: "No one can save you, and don't try to save you. Only you can save yourself, but I can give you the means of civilization, and you can save yourself."
"Civilization, what is that?"
Gilgamesh looked down in shock.
The wind was blowing, and it was the first time for him to look down on this vast green land, mountains and rivers from the perspective of the clouds, all under his eyes, countless beasts fled and roared under the feet of the giant wisdom beasts, forming a vast scene that was extremely shocking .
What a fantastic high-altitude scenery this is.
What a terrifying and longing-for great power this is!
"What is civilization, you ask?"
Xu Zhi never thought of explaining their problems to this new race.
He thought for a while and said his answer, "Civilization is fire, civilization is knowledge, civilization is order, and civilization is also the strongest force that intelligent species use to protect themselves."
"Civilization is the power we intelligent species use to protect ourselves?" Gilgamesh murmured.
Xu Zhi walked back to the Grand Canyon, gently put Gilgamesh on his shoulders, and then took out the miniature potted plant from the backpack behind his back: the welcoming pine, dug up the soil, and buried it on the ground.
This welcoming pine, which is only 60 centimeters long, is winding and old, but for this miniature land, it is already an endless sacred tree towering into the clouds. The trunk has no end in sight.
"Have you seen the tree I planted? If you want to gain the power of civilization, show your courage and climb up the sacred tree. This is my test for you, a test of wisdom and courage... . "
Xu Zhi put the metal silver giant sword customized by Taobao, a match soaked in kerosene, and a transparent capsule of termite juice that had not been successful before, on the top of the tree.
"Three treasures of civilization."
"The sword of Damocles is a weapon to protect civilization. Unlike the barbaric species that spread all over the land, it is the intelligent species that can use the power of tools."
"The torch burns a scorching flame. It is a bridge to maintain civilization. Mastering the fire is the origin of civilization."
"There is the last bottle of liquid, which is the blood of power. Only the bravest warriors in the world can swallow it. If you can't survive death, if you survive it, you will have unparalleled power!"
"If you want to change the fate of your own race, just before the torch goes out, climb up the sacred tree and obtain the three treasures of civilization."
Xu Zhi gently placed the young insect ape on the ground, and then, in its shock, stomped on the mountains and rivers and left directly.
"Cell division speeds up, a hundred times!"
As soon as Xu Zhi walked out, he ordered the insect nest instantly.
The entire land, which was originally at a normal speed, regenerates and accelerates cell division.
In an instant, the movement of the entire land also began to be crazily fast, forming various afterimages continuously, trees growing and withering rapidly, animals turning into afterimages, and rapid birth, old age, sickness and death.
He added kerosene to that match, which would burn for about thirty seconds before it would go out.
But for that piece of land that has been accelerated for a hundred years, these thirty seconds, equivalent to several days, will be extinguished.
In other words, his divine tree test lasted for many days.
"Time is relative, it is the embodiment of material movement... Their brain nerve cells speed up a hundred times, body cell division speeds up a hundred times, for them it is time speeding up a hundred times,
Compared with them, a match that can burn for a moment can burn for several days. In their world view, a match is not a moment of fireworks, but a torch that can burn for several days. "
Xu Zhi remembered that sentence:
Small knowledge is not as good as big knowledge, and the young year is not as good as the big one. Xi Yi knows why? Chao bacteria don't know the dark days! Crickets don't know age! !
The long years they thought were just a short moment in my eyes.
After Xu Zhi left, he used the binoculars to clearly see the picture under the sacred tree. The young insect ape called a few partners, with resolute faces, and quickly climbed up the sacred tree together.
In Xu Zhi's eyes, these little ants climbed the tree so fast that only afterimages remained. In just a few seconds, they fell down countless times, and then struggled to climb up. Successfully climbed to the top of the sacred tree.
But for them, countless days have passed, and they have failed hard, countless times.
They move too fast.
Standing on the lush emerald canopy at the top of the sacred tree, Gilgamesh held his sword high, and it seemed that something he said or did turned into an afterimage.
Xu Zhi was curious, so he couldn't help asking Chong Chao, "What are they talking about?"
The sub-brain of the insect nest called up the scene just now for Xu Zhi.
"Wisdom behemoth, there are such terrifying giants of wisdom living in the world! It's a super giant of ten thousand feet!"
Gilgamesh conquered the sacred tree, raised the sword of Damocles aloft, and swung it over his head.
He looked down at the scenery of all beings under the sacred tree, his black hair fluttered in the wind, the bone armor on his shoulders was black and shiny, his resolute face was suddenly full of confidence,
"We also have wisdom. In the future, we will be like that giant wisdom beast! Every clansman has the power of majesty! They all have the power to make countless giant beasts flee! I must lead the clansmen, stand at the top, and let the civilized The fire is scattered all over the earth."
This moment is recorded for eternity.
Tens of thousands of years later, there used to be the oldest Sumerian dynasty in this land, which was extremely prosperous and short-lived. People discovered from archaeological records that they wrote the Sumerian historical hymn "Genesis" for the great king.
The oldest document, Sumerian Ancient History, records:
[Wisdom giant beast, 10,000 feet tall, covered in white splendor, with a sacred face, smashed the earth and mountains and rivers, descended the sacred tree, and set up a trial of wisdom. It will use the three treasures of civilization, the torch, the holy sword, and the blood of power, Give it to the young King of Heroes, Gilgamesh.]
