Assassin Seven, starting in Shennong Kingdom!

Chapter 231, Side Story 2: Ling Cage

(Feeling terrible, like a mushroom, can't write anything new)

(I originally wanted to write a fanfiction of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, but the content didn't pass the review, so I restarted it, but it still didn't meet the standards. I don't know what the problem was. I really can't think of a new book, so I can only continue writing while working on the outline of the new book.)

(I've been watching Ling Cage lately and find its world-building quite interesting, so I thought I'd write a little about it.)

(The author has burned out (is exhausted))

(Synopsis: Having mastered six types of abilities and also cultivated the "Destruction" and "Time" types, Qin Ming has become the strongest god who almost surpasses Laozi. However, he still cannot understand the true meaning of "creation". Is the fusion of living beings and material spirits really the beginning of life?)

To explore the possibilities of the creation system, Qin Ming attempted to trigger a spacetime anomaly, traveling to other worlds to search for the origins of life.

……

The dazzling light was mottled and distorted.

Qin Ming combined the best of both space and time systems to develop an ability called—Zhou.

This ability allows him to move through the universe at speeds that are close to exceeding the speed of light.

He then used his mental and spiritual abilities—the Great Prophecy—to try to find a way to create "life." This was a level he had not been able to reach even after he had already transformed his spiritual space into a world, having gained insight into all spiritual abilities.

call……

"Ok?"

Appearing in a desolate place, Qin Ming could no longer feel the cold or the heat; if he wanted, he could even walk on the surface of the sun.

The biting wind, like a knife, relentlessly ravages everything in the world.

His eyes shone like a dazzling star, and a spiritual energy, invisible to the naked eye, spread across the entire surface of the planet.

He had already discerned everything on the surface of this planet: primitive creatures, giant mammoths, saber-toothed tigers...

Even larger marine life, and...humans.

"call!"

As the planet's orbit gradually moves to the tangent of the sun, a ray of sunlight shines down on the world from the ends of the earth.

Inside a severely weathered cave, the stones blocking the cave were pushed aside, and a group of primitive humans emerged from the cave, hunting, gathering, and communicating and conveying emotions through gestures and simple calls.

Because their fur has fallen out, they rely on thick animal fur for warmth.

Soon, night fell, and everyone began to return to the cave. The darkness, like a giant beast, slowly opened its mouth and swallowed the entire world.

In the darkness, almost all living things choose to spend their time sleeping.

Day after day, year after year, people spend their time like this.

Qin Ming didn't understand why the "Great Prophecy" had brought him here. This ability was a culmination of both the life-related and mind-related abilities, and in some ways, it was even more terrifying than Laozi's spiritual oath!

Prophecy is not prediction, nor is it a time-related ability.

Instead, it focuses directly on the goal, making it fulfill the "prophecy" it has made.

For example, Qin Ming made a certain demon make a wish to become an immortal. The prophecy was that the moment the wish was fulfilled, the demon would be destined to become an immortal, and before becoming an immortal, no one could erase his soul!

Qin Ming had never tried using this ability to help someone become a god, but he knew it was possible, although this ability also had its drawbacks.

For example, he could make "prophecies" that could not be fulfilled, such as if a certain demon or human was not qualified enough to be made a god, and Qin Ming would have to consume many gods to make up for the deficiency.

Prophecy does not take effect immediately upon being made; rather, it is a natural process.

So Qin Ming wasn't in a hurry and continued to wait and observe.

Many years passed, and the world remained in the primitive era until one day, Qin Ming sat on a rock and meditated, his spiritual energy completely contained within him.

At this moment, the world was quiet and clear, allowing him to perceive the changes in the world.

Although he could no longer progress, his spiritual power could still be accumulated slowly.

He had grown accustomed to the alternation of day and night in this world, the unchanging silence of the night, waiting for the dawn to break and awaken all things.

However, on this day, he sensed a change.

pat...

A "person" walked up to Qin Ming and curiously looked him up and down. Under the moonlight and starlight, Qin Ming saw that the other person was a primitive human.

With his teeth chattering in the cold wind, Qin Ming casually pointed, and a flame ignited in the dry tree in front of him.

This frightened the primitive man so much that he retreated repeatedly, screaming incessantly, and fled far away, hiding behind a rock.

Qin Ming, "..."

Oh, I forgot, it seems that primitive people in this era hadn't yet learned how to use fire.

Just as I was about to extinguish the fire, I noticed that the primitive man had returned. He brought his hand close to the flame, tried it a few times, and after being burned, he actually learned how to use fire for warmth. Although he didn't speak, his body language, expressions, and voice suggested that he was incredibly excited.

He then grabbed the burning stick and walked toward the cave, which he had already partially opened, making a huge commotion and waking up all the primitive people.

Qin Ming watched from a distance, feeling puzzled. Could there be some problem?

However, his expression quickly froze.

Because the primitive man who took the fire back soon became a cold corpse, the fire was extinguished, the cave was blocked again, and they still hid in the cave, avoiding the night.

The next day, the primitive man's body was thrown out.

This time, Qin Ming did not intervene again, but waited quietly. However, after a long time, no one came out of the cave in the dark again.

With a sigh, Qin Ming didn't want to interfere too much, but he couldn't stand by and watch things continue like this, so he decided to do something.

But just then, he noticed another caveman pick up the torch that had been discarded earlier, and then, on a stormy night, completely pushed aside the stone blocking the cave.

Boom! !

Whether by coincidence or not, a bolt of lightning struck at that moment, igniting the distant forest, and the flames set the world ablaze.

The flames quickly spread to the cave. Some of the cave dwellers refused to escape and were burned to death inside, while others escaped with the man.

From then on, the primitive people obtained and learned to use fire, and left the caves.

Some primitive people carved what they saw on the cave walls.

Qin Ming felt time in front of him begin to speed up, faster and faster. The primitive people emerged from the caves, began to make more tools, used fire, and migrated to more distant places.

Thus, after tens of thousands of years, the footprints of primitive humans have spread across most of the planet!

Faster and faster, from the moment they left the cave, it was as if humanity had pressed the fast-forward button, and the rudiments of civilization gradually emerged.

Writing, language, city-states, religion... empire.

In the short span of a few thousand years of warfare during the era of cold weapons, after accumulating a vast amount of knowledge, at a certain point, without Qin Ming's knowledge, time accelerated once again.

No, this time it's... an explosion!

Qin Ming felt as if the surrounding environment had instantly transformed from a city with scattered human footprints into a world full of neon lights and technological colors, a mottled, dazzling, and bizarre world.

The futuristic, technologically advanced city style gave Qin Ming the illusion of being in another world.

At that moment, an announcement rang out: "ASH Connectivity of Everything, Leading the Future. The Jiuchuan City ASH Intelligent Interactive System is at your service 24/7... Jiuchuan City is a globally renowned super-technology city, and has already achieved breakthroughs in fields such as medicine, bioscience, and energy..."
