Universal Creation: Starting with a God Simulator! - Chapter 6 - The Birth of the First Overlord, the Onset of the Cambrian Explosion

Chapter 6: The Birth of the First Overlord, the Onset of the Cambrian Explosion

After the first simulation, the creation points were down to 1930.

Su Bai picked up a ballpoint pen.

He recorded the gains in his notebook, summarizing the experience.

“A skilled housewife can’t cook without rice. The world’s origin is so small that even a minor problem leads to its destruction.”

“Not to mention, after developing and expanding, venturing into the star seas for treasure.”

Su Bai felt a bit of a headache. He was now experiencing the hardships of starting from scratch.

In fact, after many people successfully awaken their world, they choose to rely on a major power.

They receive investment from them.

Sometimes even teams of thousands use computer-generated development plans.

But nothing comes for free.

This also means giving up control of your world.

In some cases, powerful corporations use this control to deprive the world lord of their rights.

They steal the newborn world.

Such cases of the cuckoo occupying the magpie’s nest are not rare in the news.

The best option is to join an official faction and receive support from schools or local government.

Right now, what Su Bai lacked most was resources!

If, after 7 days, he didn’t achieve good results to earn rewards and attend a good university,

he would be inherently a hundred times behind others!

Falling behind one step would lead to falling behind in every step!

As Su Bai waited anxiously, the 20 minutes finally passed.

[Ding Dong!].

 [God Simulator cooldown complete.].

 Su Bai’s spirits lifted, and he summoned the simulator from his mind.

Resolutely, he said: “Start the simulation!”

 A line of text appeared in front of him.

[Activate ten consecutive draws!].

 Once again, ten talents of various attributes appeared, including the temporary solidified [Call of Cthulhu].

Unfortunately, the guaranteed orange talent still hadn’t appeared.

But to his surprise, besides Cthulhu, there was a new purple talent.

After choosing three talents, Su Bai simulated again.

[Devour (Purple)]: “Enhances the devouring abilities of creatures. What’s even more precious is that during devouring, there’s a small chance to acquire the prey’s talents.

”

[Life Proliferation (Blue)]: “Greatly increases the reproductive ability of creatures, boosting survival rates.”

Su Bai was very cautious in his choice.

One ensured survival, the other ensured future potential.

[Selection complete. Do you want to carry two cards?].

 This time, Su Bai chose to carry one card.

[D-grade Climate Card equipped!].

[Embarking on the journey of creation—].

[Heaven and Earth were created; Su Bai, the God, awakened his world. The Tianyuan World was born.].

[Early First Era: You said, “Let there be rain,” and so a torrential rain fell from the sky, with 10 tons of rainwater containing organic materials falling into the oceans, bringing life to the world. (Climate Card activated.)].

[You introduced primordial bacteria, and they proliferated in the ocean! (Talent Life Proliferation activated!)].

[Mid First Era: The oceans became teeming with various unicellular organisms, and multicellular organisms such as planktonic larvae, flagellates, and flatworms emerged one after another!].

[The oceans bustled with activity, and the Devour talent activated, with creatures devouring each other and continuously growing stronger.].

[You observed a creature evolving teeth and digestive organs, growing up to 50 cm long. It constantly defeated enemies and devoured other creatures, dominating the ocean.].

[The first overlord, the Devouring Worm, was born, ruling over a 5-kilometre oceanic region.].

[Creation points +40 rewarded!].

“As expected, investing resources early was completely worth it. It saved a lot of time.”

Seeing the progress made even before the first era had ended, Su Bai was overjoyed.

The text continued to scroll.

[Late First Era: The Devouring Worm, invincible in the ocean, attempted to land.].

[Landing successful! Currently, the total number of species in the Tianyuan World exceeds 200. Creatures are absorbing cosmic energy, and the world’s origin is increasing. The land and sea areas are expanding, with a 1:4 ratio!].

[Your world’s land diameter has increased to 2 km, and the ocean area has expanded to 10 km!].

[Creation points +50 rewarded!].

“The world has grown, and its potential has increased.”

Su Bai murmured to himself, satisfied that at least this round wouldn’t be a loss.

The more creatures there were and the stronger they became, the more the world would feedback and grow!

In his vision, the Tianyuan World seemed like a newborn baby.

The creatures living on it were like the body’s organs.

As the organs grew stronger and absorbed more cosmic energy, the body naturally grew larger.

[Early Second Era: As ocean creatures landed, flowering plants began to emerge on the land, making the terrain less monotonous.].

[Due to the continuous photosynthesis of aquatic and terrestrial plants, the oxygen content in the air increased, significantly boosting the creatures’ intelligence and physical strength.].

[The Tianyuan World grew slowly but steadily. After accumulating enough depth, a great explosion was triggered!].

[This event is known as: The Cambrian Explosion!].

[Corals, trilobites, and even the earliest vertebrates, jawed fish, emerged one after another. The total number of species exceeded 1000!].

[The land area of the Tianyuan World grew to 3.5 km!].

[With various rewards stacking up, creation points +200!].

“I’ve made a return! This wave has been incredibly profitable.”

Looking at the simulation text, Su Bai couldn’t contain his joy.

He hadn’t expected a Cambrian Explosion so early in the second simulation.

With the emergence of various species, the world fed back, and it grew fat with a single wave!

“Indeed, every resource invested early was extremely valuable. The two talents also played a crucial role.”

He continued reading.

Unexpectedly, a slight incident occurred in the mid-second era.

[With enough creatures proliferating, another talent was activated, and Call of Cthulhu was triggered!].

[In the ocean, the creatures inexplicably went mad and started killing each other, dyeing the waters red with blood.].

[On land, the early vertebrates and even the flowering plants mutated. A purple flower covered in fangs began to occupy large areas of land, devouring other creatures. This was the mutant species: Corpse-eating Flower.].

[In the madness-stricken ocean, a worm evolved with a pair of giant stalked eyes and segmented giant limbs, defeating the first overlord, the Devouring Worm. It became the second overlord, the mutated Anomalocaris!].

[The two new unknown species earned creation points +80!].

“It really worked? But the prerequisite was having a large enough population of creatures; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been triggered.”

Seeing the Call of Cthulhu take effect, Su Bai smiled.

It truly deserved to be a talent on par with orange-grade ones, bringing him a pleasant surprise right from the start.

But soon, his smile faded.

[Mid Second Era: Pushed by the whispers in their minds, the two overlords, Anomalocaris and Corpse-eating Flower, waged a bloody war…].
