Chapter 6 - Chapter 5 The Birth of Fish

Li Qing put all his heart and effort into the issue of civilization destruction. After all, ultraviolet light and alcohol are the most conventional and convenient means of sterilization currently available. As for other methods, they are either too costly or too complex, and it's hard to get anything done in just a few days without attracting the FBI's attention. After all, he was Asian.

How much alcohol was sprayed this time?

The alcohol tank at the back was all sprayed empty.

If his body hadn't become stronger, carrying such a large hydraulic tank and spraying medicine inside, he would have been exhausted long ago.

Ah, life is hard, Li Qing sighed.

The entire room was completely atomized, enough to push them into the fog of death era, and even if they got through it, there was a one-centimeter-thick ocean of alcohol on the ground.

From today onwards, these single-celled organisms cannot imagine living on land anymore.

It's all a Dead Sea!

The environment has become harsher.

And this Dead Sea continues to evaporate, constantly lingering in the mist.

Can this still not kill them?

But Li Qing is a cautious person, planning to continue finding friends to get a large ultraviolet lamp; you can't be indecisive when doing things. The antagonist can't die from too much talk.

Not even giving them a breath, it's all about thrill, wave after wave, directly killing them at the Newbie Village gate!

Want to develop?

You're thinking too much.

"Hello, it's me. Yes, the ultraviolet lamp you're preparing, right? Remember, it must be strong enough to scorch the skin."

"No, I'm not trying to kill people. You really watched too much Conan."

He said as he walked out of the house, while on the phone, "Yes, yes, I've already resigned. After I'm done with this, I'll return to the country."

...

Atabia Kingdom.

The Evil God outside the world launched an extremely vile and sudden flood, causing the entire civilization to be instantly wiped out of more than 70% of its people without warning.

Under the terrifying pressure of despair, even the kingdom's strongest engineer—King of Atabia—could only lead a team of elites, fleeing on flagellum mounts.

"What is that?"

In the process of escape, they found that the Mite Giant Beast did not run but was resistant to the corrosive acid rain.

In this wilderness world rampant with giant beasts, the Atabians were not at the top of the food chain.

Mites are one of the ferocious giant beasts that the Atabia Kingdom has been unable to conquer to this day.

Like the Tyrannosaurus at the top of the food chain, a single one could destroy a city.

"No wonder it's a giant beast, the flood can't kill it!"

Countless ministers were shocked.

The other side moved slowly in the alcohol flood, leisurely, making them envious. Perhaps only such giant beasts could resist the all-destroying death flood.

In fact, bacteria are single-celled life forms, while mites, though small, are animals, belonging to the Arachnida like spiders, and as multicellular organisms, their resistance to alcohol is naturally much higher than that of these thin-skinned bacteria.

"I have an idea."

King of Atabia said.

"Since these giant beasts can resist the death flood, I want to read their skin structure and let us wear a layer of coat in the death acid rain!"

This king, representing wisdom and great civilization, as an intelligent single-celled life form, saw the hope for life.

The DNA code of the Mite Giant Beast had already been studied by them to some extent. At this moment, he began to absorb segments of the mite genes, attempting to modify his skin.

Thus, their cell membranes began to change, turning from a transparent jelly-like human-shaped flagella bacteria into a humanoid creature wearing clothes, more like humans.

Each bacterium single cell with flagellum limbs began to gain preliminary ability to resist alcohol penetration.

However, they still could not completely resist the penetration of large amounts of alcohol, such as being submerged in a large volume of alcohol.

They could defend, but only a little.

After all, alcohol is the nemesis of bacteria; how could it be a joke?

"If I can't block it myself, just build a house."

Quickly, they began to use the rampant, unintelligent wild bacteria of their kind, modifying their skins, using them like square bricks, stacking them into a refuge.

This is the only possibility to withstand the flood.

At this time, looking at the ministers stacking single-cell houses, Emperor Atabia wondered if piling them one by one, when could the refuge be completed?

There simply wasn't enough time!

Although they were hiding in high places, the mist was spreading and would soon cool and sink, completely forming seawater to submerge them altogether.

Under the pressure of death, he suddenly thought of a new possibility.

What if the single cells built it themselves?

What if these wall brick single-cell bacteria transcribed and reproduced other cells on their own, using their own walls to build themselves into houses?

He tried again for modification.

He had been researching this topic before but had never succeeded. However, at this moment, under tremendous death pressure, Emperor Atabia succeeded quickly.

Huala.

In the vast flood.

Cell bricks stacked themselves, becoming a huge multicellular refuge.

However, this refuge gradually began to sway in the wind and rain, potentially getting submerged and collapsing in the massive flood at any time.

"Not enough, not enough!"

Atabia shouted excitedly, painfully, "It must be fully sealed. This refuge must be a sealed cavity, isolating external seawater!"

"Additionally, this refuge can't stay at the bottom of the sea forever. It would be great if it could move in the apocalyptic seawater. Flagellum! I can build flagellum on it! Attempt to slide on the seabed!"

When the seawater completely submerged, this multicellular house began to develop flagellum.

Gradually, the flood was fully coming.

Not enough.

Still not enough!

The shelter framework is too fragile. These pieces of flesh are falling apart, not enough to withstand this Celestial Calamity; it must be reinforced.

But how do those Mite Giant Beasts, being so enormous, prevent their massive flesh structures from collapsing?

The skeleton.

Those Mite Giant Beasts have exoskeletons.

The gene sequence of mites had long been deciphered, and exoskeleton gene fragments were naturally understood as well, so by encoding these gene fragments into mites, the shelter gained an exoskeleton.

"It succeeded! This Ark is an underwater shelter! It will preserve the Atabians' civilization through the epic flood!" declared the King of Atabia, constantly remodeling within this hollow.

"No, no! It's still not enough! Inside the mites, there are various auxiliary cells, meridians, and muscles to help move their massive bodies."

Suddenly, the King of Atabia entered a mystical state of Enlightenment and spoke to the surrounding ministers, these bacterial single cells:

"You, become the nerve cells of this shelter, in the control room, to manage the direction of the shelter's movement!"

"You, become the muscle cells, to control the fins and flagella outside the shelter!"

Countless single cells began to transform into precise gears within the shelter, with each pilot working together in harmony to prevent the collapse of the shelter.

But, is this really an Ark?

Atabia had no awareness of the great creation he had built.

This is clearly a fish!

Its shape resembles one of the most primitive fish, the coelacanth, which survived four mass extinctions and loved crawling along the seabed.

Under the tremendous pressure, this single-cell biological kingdom finally allowed its biological civilization's evolutionary history to enter the next biological evolutionary level, multicellular organisms.

Yes.

Together, they become a multicellular life form.

The natural evolution of cells requires endless tedious eons, survival of the fittest, and natural selection.

Earth used billions of centuries of selection and reinforcement, from primitive flagellates to multicellular animals, to chordates, and then to advanced chordates—vertebrates, then from fish among vertebrates to amphibians to reptiles, from which mammals and birds differentiated...

And these intelligent single cells before us?

They condensed a long natural evolutionary process of billions of years into this moment, making a great leap.

Primitive flagellate—to fish.

Undoubtedly, they skipped the intermediate stages, wildly replacing evolution, using their wisdom to replace nature.

This is:

Replacing destiny with one's will, replacing nature's heart with one's heart.

These wise single cells are self-evolving, using their thoughts to replace nature's evolutionary will, and they are born creators.

Fish began to be born in this epic flood!

And perhaps soon, in this laboratory, multicellular fish will start climbing onto land, transforming into insects, and then from insects to mammals, and more advanced animals.

Evolve, evolve, evolve!

In this small room of the laboratory, wise single cells are madly propelling the tree of evolution; any organism appearing is nothing surprising.

But no matter what.

"Advance!"

The King of Atabia issued an order to the surrounding ministers:

"As trusted ministers, you are the greatest engineers; immediately build escape ships in this manner to different places to ferry salvation, to rescue our possibly still alive citizens!"

As the wisest intellect of civilization, Atabia said slowly:

"They did not all die; certainly, some are hiding in high places, and each of our citizens is a natural engineer who can modify genes, possibly observing the Mite Giant Beast, evolving an anti-flood antibody to barely survive."

"Yes!"

"Yes, King Atabia!"

"We will sail, using the Ark to rescue refugees everywhere!"

"You are our God, our great, only true master!"

The ministers almost wept; seeing the epic flood engulfing all cities at the extinction of civilization, how helpless, how despairing, and how tragic the miracle before them is.

This wondrous shelter moves gracefully and vibrantly within the dead, flowing waters, the greatest incredible creation in this world.

And all these miracles come from their king—Atabia, known as the most talented among the 17 trillion engineers.

How terrifying is his wisdom and talent?

To use a simple analogy, maybe it takes billions of Earthlings to produce one Einstein, yet here are 17 trillion in population numbers?

The greatest engineer named after him in the kingdom, imagining the extent of his construction qualifications, can be terrifying.

"The King will lead us to invincibility!"

A vast number of tiny fish, as big as mites, began to spread throughout the entire ocean.

The Atabia Kingdom, with the changing harsh environment, altered their civilization form!

Each wise engineer seemed to be piloting a shelter, as a City Lord absorbing refugees; in reality, these engineers were unaware that they had evolved from single cells into a fish swimming in an alcohol ocean!

At this moment, the King of Atabia and his ministers were utterly unaware that they were making a historically significant and colorful stroke, as civilization entered the Advanced Life Era.

From the underwater germination of the first life, they were destined to set sail, embarking on the greatest exploration, from the simple, single-cell cradle of civilization to the vast, diverse life.

This moment is silent, but the future is destined to be recorded as Eternal.

Future generations open the ancient scriptures of God's creation, in the "Ata Creation Holy Scripture," there is such an initial document fresco.

It depicts a roaring great Emperor building an ark amid overlapping roaring waves, leading followers to leave the fire of civilization during the epic flood, with adjacent words describing:

[Outer God suddenly wrath upon the multitude of Earth, the sky tore apart, stars scattered with thunder, deadly mist descended, a flood engulfed the world, Creation Father God Atabia established an ark, saved the remaining people, the ark crossed the sea and lived, thus fish existed in the world.]

Historically known as the First Biological Extinction of the Flood Mist Era.

Under the pavilion, looking up at the brilliant starry night sky, a tall and handsome man closed this Bible.

"Father, how did fish appear?"

"Fish, didn't you hear the Bible just now? The ark crossed the sea and lived, thus fish appeared in the world."

"Impossible, how could the Creation Gods of ancient times be so exaggerated? The myths in there are all lies. How could cute fish be transformed from a boat, rowing desperately to save refugees, rowing until the boat became fish? It's just a fairy tale."
