Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 1952: The Birth of Chaos

1952 The Birth of Chaos

Just like that, countless life forms of strange shapes bloomed on the remote and barren terrestrial planet.

Since they originated from hundreds of unrelated planets, their genetic characteristics and environmental requirements were different. It was difficult to find a location in the same ecosystem that was equally stable and suitable for every life form.

As such, they were caught in an endless, cruel battle almost as soon as they grew organs and could sense everything around them. Since these primitive life forms had just been born, they were particularly fragile

To survive this eternal competition for survival, they evolved rapidly.

Every single cell and every set of genes mutated at every moment.

From hard shells, sharp claws, fatal toxins, and camouflage, to enormous bodies and mysterious mind control, the primitive life forms on this chaotic planet ended up with all kinds of self-defense mechanisms as a result of evolution. The individuals of the ancient civilization had never mastered such a thing in such a short time.

As such, Zero discovered her own, or rather, the entire ancient civilization’s weakness.

She realized that evolution was never something to be taken for granted.

Evolution was not a norm or a necessity. It was not an innate need and desire that was engraved deep in the genes of every living being.

Evolution was merely a last resort when one’s survival was threatened.

If possible, all life forms would prefer to do nothing but be happy and bask in the sun.

It did not matter if the life forms had attained wisdom and their civilization was highly developed. They could even enter the post-information age and be capable of exploring the universe and conquering planets. Ultimately, individuals who truly had ideals, willpower, and the ability to overcome their beastly instincts were still very rare.

Most life forms in this civilization were beasts who seemed civilized on the surface but were still controlled by their primitive instincts. They would not do anything without external pressure.

The ancient civilization was the oldest, strongest, and only civilization in the known universe.

Due to the ancient civilization’s growth and conquest, it was able to compete with evenly matched competitors. However, it never found true meaning in its existence. This was both its blessing and curse.

The most powerful creatures it encountered were nothing more than giant reptiles with brains no larger than a fist.

The ancient civilization easily conquered everything.

Most terrestrial planets within its sight had been transformed into the most comfortable and tranquil place for civilized individuals.

Therefore, the ancient civilization had never reached its full potential, which would only be achievable on the brink of life and death.

Hence, the ancient civilization started to decline and head for destruction!

Fortunately, it now had the antidote—Chaos. This planet of Chaos was almost the opposite of the ancient civilization.

Life in the ancient civilization was so relaxed, stable, and comfortable.

Life on a planet with Chaos was extremely difficult, cruel, and unpredictable.

Here, survival was not a certainty, and death was the norm.

The throne at the top of the food chain was often empty. No species could rule over others for long.

Ferocious hunters from yesterday would easily, or rather, certainly, become prey the next day in the face of ever-changing evolution.

As long as prey that usually fled in a panic were lucky enough to find their rhythm in the crazy process of evolution, they would have a chance to counterattack and enjoy a short but intense interaction.

One after another, the old overlords were drowned in the depths of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

New, more powerful, tenacious, and greedy overlords were sprouting like bamboo shoots after the rain or flowing out like scorching magma.

The ever-changing and intense scene sent astronomical amounts of new data to Zero’s core database.

This data gave Zero new inspiration, and she deduced thousands or even billions of new futures that she had never thought of in the past.

Before the ancient civilization, a new fork sprouted from the path that had been growing narrower toward the abyss.

Zero could extract the one-in-ten-thousand gene modules from the chaotic planet and fuse them into the ancient civilization’s gene chain. She would allow the ancient civilization to have some of the genetic traits of more extraordinary life forms. Therefore, they would become stronger, tougher, and more ruthless than they had ever been.

She could also introduce the life-and-death competition on the chaotic planet into the ancient civilization’s social system. It would put appropriate survival pressure on the ancient civilization’s individuals and force them to activate their potential, which had been sealed for tens of millions of years.

According to Zero’s deduction, triggering such a change could at least extend the ancient civilization’s lifespan by five to six million years. And she believed that in the next five to six million years, the pressure on the ancient civilization to survive would suddenly increase. She would definitely find more ways to preserve their civilization, improve their civilization, and even understand the true meaning of life.

After repeated deductions to ensure that her calculations were correct, she expanded the Chaos database from scratch. She found more “inferior terrestrial planets” that were located in remote and barren lands. They were not suitable to be replicated as “home planets of the ancient civilization” due to their poor structure, size, orbit, and distance from the stars. However, she planted more seeds of Chaos in hopes that she could harvest more and more exciting data.

Of course, Zero never forgot to install powerful space-based orbital weapons in the synchronous orbits of these “Chaos planets.”

Before the various life forms on the planets became too powerful and completely lost control, their planets’ surface would be burned into glass, especially the first Chaos planet.

In the face of the cruel threat to their survival, the local “creatures of Chaos” developed to a rather complex and advanced level.

Despite the lack of abundant crystals, the speed of their evolution was comparable to the ‘big bang of evolution’ that had happened on the ancient civilization’s home planet. Zero had also constructed a model of the first planet of Chaos in a virtual world.

She compressed the time scale by tens of millions of times and performed countless deductions.

Based on her deduction, if nothing was done, the creatures on this chaotic planet would most likely give birth to the light of wisdom within a hundred thousand years. In the next ten thousand years, they would master the technology to break through the atmosphere. In another thousand years, they would be able to exist in the vacuum of the universe for a long time or even perform four-dimensional space jumps. As such, they could seriously threaten the ancient civilization’s safety.

In short, this control planet was about to go out of control.
