Chapter 124 The End of Civilization
In the port city of Magita, the once prosperous Cormier Biological Company was closed down.
This news was like a bombshell, which excited the tabloids in the port city of Magita for several days.
But that was it. Apart from some city government officials lamenting the loss of some income, this incident really had no big impact.
After all, this is an outside company, and bankruptcy is the norm.
This incident did not even qualify to be on the Kingdom News.
Compared with the indifferent reaction of ordinary people, the dark web world is undercurrent.
It is true that this wave of gangsters suffered heavy losses and there are too many victims.
According to incomplete statistics, at the moment when Shanling recovered the mountain god cells, more than 1,000 gangsters died and thousands of people became brain-dead.
As for those with brain damage, there are even more.
With such a heavy loss of personnel, even the bosses who have always regarded gang members as consumables could not sit still.
They asked the boss behind the scenes for help, and the answer they got was that Cormier Biological Company had been closed down for selling contraband, and the matter ended here.
Even if he was unwilling, what could he do?
Fortunately, the "culprit" had been found, and he could finally give his subordinates an explanation.
As for the sudden increase in idiots, what should he do?
Gangs don't keep useless people, so of course they should be given a machete to fight for territory, and maybe their fighting power would be even stronger.
This was the only wave of the "Blood Salt Case".
This little thing certainly didn't affect Chen Qi. He replied to the Orderly Headquarters that "the matter has been settled", and the headquarters naturally followed suit and recognized Chen Qi's conclusion.
The Kingdom CIA began to celebrate the case.
Chen Qi was naturally not interested in participating in this farce. After returning to the Metal Castle, he fell into a busy state.
Feeding birds, giving injections, and studying 148 roots, Chen Qi had a lot of things to worry about.
Fate seemed to give Chen Qi extra face this time. For a full half month, there was no trouble at all.
To be honest, Chen Qi was a little uncomfortable for a while.
······
"Hahaha, finally got it done!"
"It turns out that the purpose of the spell is to extract psychic energy from the blood of the Death Hound."
"That player is really thoughtful."
After half a month of hard work, Chen Qi finally found the root with the most perfect carrying capacity.
And mastered the rules and methods of deforming and constructing roots based on [Flame], [Cloud], and [Mud].
The reason why he was able to complete the mastery of its rules is that the other 147 roots have contributed greatly.
After walking all the successful routes, even a fool should know how to construct roots.
What's more, Chen Qi is still a smart person.
······
"In the Blue Taro Kingdom, is psychic energy difficult to obtain except for the psychic points given by the game?"
This is the first doubt that Chen Qi had after mastering the spell.
At first, he thought that the spell was to seize the blood ability of the Death Hound.
But the facts proved that he overestimated the player. He just wanted psychic energy.
However, this is reasonable. In fact, after obtaining the "General Knowledge of the Inner World", Chen Qi knew that he might have thought too much.
It is very difficult to seize bloodline ability. It is basically impossible for a superhuman to do it, even if the other party may be a part-time player.
Bloodline ability involves genes. Even if it is just the genes of ordinary people, it is something that only professional large companies can do. Behind it is an entire discipline system.
The blood of the big black dog has supernatural power at first glance, and its difficulty is thousands of times that of ordinary people.
In fact, bloodline power is not popular in the human world, and the major superhuman systems in the inner world only use it as a supplement of power.
As an intelligent life, humans have always advocated wisdom.
Those who really study bloodline power are various aliens.
Especially those who like to devour powerful life forms, they have gained experience.
But if it is said that the one who really takes bloodline power as the foundation and evolves bloodline power to the extreme is [Orc].
·······
Orcs are definitely an extremely important existence in this world.
At least the world government thinks so, because "General Knowledge of the Other World" spends a whole chapter to describe this kind of existence in detail.
As we all know, intelligent life evolved step by step from single-celled organisms.
The birth of wisdom, or the possession of soul, is the only criterion that distinguishes intelligent life from other life.
After the birth of intelligent life, the first developed intelligent tribes, and then evolved into tribes, countries, and civilizations.
As a kind of intelligent life, humans also follow such an evolutionary route.
However, what if one day, the soul of intelligent life suddenly disappeared.
"General Knowledge of the Other World" describes this process in detail with the theory of the high-dimensional school.
······
"Since the birth of the soul comes from the connection between the spark of wisdom generated by our brain thinking and a falling point in the high dimension."
"What if this connection disappears?"
"What kind of existence will we degenerate into if we lose our soul and wisdom?"
"Although it is a bit sad, this phenomenon does exist, and even the degeneration is not just an individual, but the entire tribe and the entire civilization."
"This is the origin of the orcs. Although it is unbelievable, they are the more ancient civilizations."
"Even these civilizations are far more powerful than the current human civilization. The evidence is the heaven-defying bloodline abilities that exist in some orcs."
"There are 375 types of orcs discovered by humans now, which means that at least 375 intelligent civilizations have lost their souls."
"And these are just what humans have discovered within their own capabilities. Those that really exist or have already disappeared are bound to be an extremely terrifying number."
"This world is far more cruel and complex than we know, and the history of the rise and fall of civilization is darker and longer."
"I hope that the fire of our human civilization can burn forever, at least for the next 100,000 years."
When Chen Qi read this record at that time, the shock and fear in his heart were simply indescribable.
That is a fear that comes from the instinct of intelligent life.
Imagine that today you are still enjoying a colorful life, but the next second you degenerate to eating raw meat and drinking blood.
What a terrible thing that is, and what is even more desperate is that the entire civilization, trillions of people will be like this.
An extremely brilliant and prosperous intelligent civilization just disappeared.
This is not a single civilization disappearing in history, but all civilizations derived from the entire intelligent race were wiped out in an instant.
What kind of terrible existence would do such a terrible thing.
······
Regarding the reason for the birth of orcs, or what kind of existence wiped out their wisdom, "General Knowledge of the Other World" gave three guesses.
Although the compiler stated that this was just a guess, since the world government dared to make it public, it would definitely not be just a guess.
The first: Godlike, they can definitely wipe out the wisdom of some weak intelligent civilizations.
The second: Civilization war, the intelligent civilization that has evolved to the extreme, the form of war between them has exceeded the cognition of lower life.
The third: unknown reasons, perhaps peeping into secrets that should not be peeped, or touching certain taboos, or even just witnessing some prehistoric weapons.
Although these three guesses are only a few sentences in "General Knowledge of the Other World", the shock they brought to Chen Qi is simply a consciousness explosion.
Chen Qi didn't know what happened to him at that time, but he was determined to leave the small puddle of Lan Yu Country and go to the wider world outside.
Perhaps at that moment, he finally understood some of his father's choices.
······
Of course, there are more records about orcs in "General Knowledge of the Other World".
In fact, the origin of orcs does not account for a large proportion of the entire text.
The most recorded in the general knowledge is the various bloodline abilities of orcs and the classification of levels.
When intelligent civilization develops to a certain stage, its individuals will inevitably come into contact with extraordinary powers, and even pass on these powers through genes.
After the intelligent civilization was defeated, it only lost its wisdom and hope for further progress, but the power inherited in the genes will not disappear. This is the source of the bloodline ability of the orcs.
Even because the bloodline ability has become the most important weapon to maintain the existence of orcs, their pursuit of bloodline power has become more crazy.
Because of the loss of wisdom, orcs cannot improve their bloodline power at all.
Then they have only one choice, using the reproduction of life to constantly try to merge various bloodline powers in order to give birth to more powerful bloodline abilities.
This depends entirely on luck and probability, and naturally does not require the participation of wisdom.
After a long period of evolution, the bloodline abilities of orcs have formed a very solid class division.
Orcs without bloodline abilities are just slaves, called mud species.
Above the mud species are black iron species, bronze species, silver species, gold species...
But these are just successful hybrids, their brains can still think and give birth to some sparks of wisdom.
Even because they were once an intelligent civilization, their brains are extremely developed, and the sparks of wisdom born are extremely frequent.
Some powerful orcs even look smarter than ordinary humans.
But fate is cruel, and the opportunity to evolve into intelligent life only exists once.
Even if the orc population still exists after billions of years, it is impossible to become intelligent life again.
The more cruel truth is that as time goes by, the brains of the orcs begin to shrink gradually.
Degenerating into wild beasts is the final fate of all civilizations whose souls have been knocked down.
But in this process, they must also be the craziest.
The reason why many taboo species and terrifying life forms can be born is the blood hybridization of orcs.
In Chen Qi's understanding, if the blood ability of the Death Hound is traced back to its source, it must also come from the orcs.
It can be said that the decline of intelligent civilization has made the evolution of life more diverse.
······
"Alas, what a pity!"
"If that spell can seize the blood ability of the Death Hound, I am planning to intercept and load it on the Red Falcon King."
After three injections, the Red Falcon King completely adapted to the skills loaded by the chip and opened the right path to become stronger by killing.
But unless it can be as lucky as the Death Hound and awaken its blood ability, it will only be an ordinary bird after being strengthened to the extreme.
Having invested so much, Chen Qi naturally prepared for this little guy.
It's a pity that the blood loading path is temporarily blocked. Anyway, this little guy has just started to become stronger. There is plenty of time, so there is no need to rush.
In fact, although the main function of the spell on the spiral horn of the Death Dog is to absorb the spiritual energy in the blood, it also has the effect of tempering the blood.
It can be seen that the player behind the scenes is also envious of the blood.
Chen Qi plans to change the spell and completely reverse its function.
Chen Qi now has plenty of spiritual energy. He can't consume so much normally, so it's better to use it to temper the body of the Red Falcon King.
······
The spiritual energy that Chen Qi borrowed from the source mine is the most common non-attribute spiritual energy in the extraordinary stage.
His current spiritual frequency can only control this kind of spiritual energy.
Non-attribute spiritual energy should actually be called spiritual energy without special abilities.
That is, it itself cannot control wind, fire, thunder and lightning to form various superpowers.
But this does not mean that humans cannot use them to achieve similar effects.
The key is the spell, or 15 kinds of ancient characters with special powers.
The combination and application of spells is also a huge subject.
Chen Qi has not even started yet.
Fortunately, it is still possible to copy others. At most, you can fail dozens of times and you can always get it done.
······
"Xiaohong, come back!"
As Chen Qi called, the Red Falcon King, who was showing off in the sky, flew back with his head drooping.
It thought it was going to get another injection!
"Don't worry, it's safe and painless this time!"
Chen Qi touched the little head of the Red Falcon King and felt that it had become much stronger.
Chen Qi's target was naturally the small tuft of hair on the Red Falcon King's head, which was similar to the dog of death.
The Red Falcon King nodded frequently in confusion. It was used to accepting its fate.
"Preserve, condense, and refine"
A regular tetrahedron gem appeared on Chen Qi's fingertips, and then he used his thoughts as the pen tip to urge his spirituality to write and splash ink.
Chen Qi didn't know how others wrote the spell. This was a method he figured out on his own, and it was quite handy.
As his mind moved, countless lines and ripples appeared on the regular tetrahedron.
Soon, an ancient character appeared on each of the three sides of the gem.
The next moment, the three ancient characters swam towards the fourth side and began to collide and combine.
Chen Qi was already familiar with this process. He had used the same method to write 148 character roots before.
In the blink of an eye, the three ancient characters deformed 36 times and finally fit together completely to form an extremely stable structure.
And at the moment when this structure was formed, the regular tetrahedron gem collapsed towards the newly born character root and finally completely merged into it.
After Chen Qi applied the encryption method he created, there was only a spell that kept wriggling and changing on his fingertips.
This spell looked very similar to the spell on the spiral horn, but its function was completely different.
Chen Qi pointed his fingertips, and the spell merged into the Red Falcon King's ahoge.
To be more precise, it was integrated into the life magnetic field of King Red Falcon.
"Chirp chirp!"
King Red Falcon shook his head uncomfortably, and his silver-white hair became more erect, looking like a crown at first glance.
Chen Qi checked it and found nothing wrong, just get used to it.
While Chen Qi was busy upgrading King Red Falcon, a huge stealth passenger plane flew over the Blue Taro Kingdom in the night.
As a small country, Blue Taro's air defense system was basically just a decoration, and it was completely unnoticed.
Inside the cabin, more than 1,000 death row prisoners were anxiously waiting for their next fate.
