Chapter 343 193: Searching for Humanity's Progenitor? (Part 2)
The biotechnology company, named "Watson Group," is one of the largest giants of the Human Federation. It has existed for over twenty thousand years, with its headquarters located in Titan City, one of the four main cities, serving as an enduring pillar of the Human Federation.
In the field of biotechnology, the company has always been at the forefront of the era. The world's most advanced genetic potions, bio-enhanced armor, central nervous system implants, biological and biochemical weapons, life-extending potions... are all developed by Watson Group.
The Treasure Pavilion is also a large family business, having made achievements in various fields such as energy, relics, and rifts. But in the face of a behemoth like Watson Group, it still can only be considered a small player.
The Treasure Pavilion at most has some official background.
Whereas Watson Group can largely represent the Human Federation government itself.
To think such a super impressive presence would seek cooperation from the Treasure Pavilion, it's no wonder Ding Xuezhu would be so excited.
This shows that the development of the Treasure Pavilion to this day is no longer a ragtag operation and has already gained deep trust from the official Human Federation.
Of course, how powerful the Walt Group is not Lu Xun's main concern, and he doesn't care much about these political and commercial matters either.
However, the content of this project stunned him... even made him feel it was surreal!
"In Search of Human Ancestors."
That's right, the ultimate goal of this project consists only of this.
It sounds rather absurd.
Humans are natives of Blue Star, not hailing from another world, where would there be any ancestors?
Hasn't it always been championed as "evolution theory"?
But in these documents, there is ample evidence to overturn natural evolution theory, opting instead for the "God-created hypothesis."
This is how the information is written——
[What exactly is the origin of life? Natural occurrence hypothesis? Black chimney hypothesis? PAH world hypothesis? Or the primordial soup hypothesis put forth by Darwin?... Regarding the origin of life, especially the origin of us humans, for tens of thousands of years, countless scientists have tried to unravel this mystery, but there has never been a unified argument. Many people believe that the origin of life must have been achieved through chemical means. But what if that's not the reality?]
[What if I told you that we humans, like all other races from the other world, also once had a creator belonging to the Human Race, an ancestor, that we were created by a God... would you believe it?]
[Whether you believe it or not, as the world's most powerful biotechnology company, Watson Group can very responsibly tell you: the birth of life is by no means accidental!]
...
Hundreds of scenarios accompanied by evidence were listed later.
Back in the era before the Celestial Convergence, many "divine miracles" once existed on Blue Star.
Scientists at Watson Group firmly believe humans, like other races from another world, were created by gods.
The only difference is that other races clearly know who their ancestors are.
Orge Race, Dragon Race, Giant Race, Elf Race, Undead Race, Demon Race, goblins, Dwarves, Blood Race... each race clearly knows the name of their creator and the mythical tales about them.
But due to unknown factors, the Human Race has gradually forgotten the revered name of its creator in the long history, betraying its ancestors.
This is possibly also the reason why humans as a species are not good at evolving life.
It is known that other world races on the Magic Side have evolutionary foundations and racial talents rooted in their bloodlines and genes.
Orge Race or Dragon Race, all their inherent advantages as species are gifts from their respective ancestors.
Meanwhile, humans have forgotten even who their ancestors are, not believing in their creators, turning instead to faiths like Jesus Christ, Buddhism, Daoism, and the "Money Sect"... various beliefs abounding everywhere.
This behavior is, for the god who truly created humans, tantamount to blasphemy, being an unforgivable sin of betrayal.
It is very difficult for the Human Race to break through the Life Level, they have had to develop the Technology Side in another way to survive.
This might be a type of divine punishment.
Lu Xun almost got convinced.
"What is this? Is the end of science theology?" He couldn't help scratching his head, still feeling it was somewhat absurd.
But the data was so well-argued, with solid reasoning, it was basically irrefutable.
Moreover, considering the situation with these other races appearing on Blue Star following the Celestial Convergence, it seems highly likely that humans are indeed god-created.
The birth of life may truly not be accidental. It's been tens of thousands of years, and the God-created hypothesis can actually make a comeback?
"The charm of science lies in the slow unveiling of the truth through continuous exploration." Nearby, Ding Xuezhu covered her mouth and laughed, "When I first read the data, I found it just as unbelievable as you did, Xiao Lu. Humans even having ancestors? Just the thought of it is exciting. How about it, are you interested? I strongly recommended you to join the scientific expedition team to the headquarters, and they agreed. Now, it's up to you. When it comes to salary, rest assured, Watson Group is very generous in this aspect."
"What else is there to think about? Of course, I'm in!" Lu Xun didn't hesitate at all and nodded in agreement immediately.
Money doesn't really matter.
But at a glance, this project is clearly full of potential Trait Points, only a fool would refuse.
"In Search of Human Ancestors," just hearing it sounds so high-end and grand! The scientific expedition team isn't simply exploring one relic but more than a dozen, vowing to uncover the truth of human origins.
Watson Group's ambition is also enormous!
They're not seeking the ancestor to "worship" but rather to study the human creator to develop biotechnology.
Because all races are intertwined with their ancestors.
Take the Demon Race, for example; Succubus, Fire Demon, Feather Demon, Barbarian Demon, Blood Demon, Dream Demon, these six branches all stem from the Demon Ancestor using themselves as a template to create them.
Other races are the same, with their genes originating from their creators.
If humans were also molded by a deity using themselves as a blueprint, it implies that the ancestor would definitely possess a superhuman genetic library.
As long as Watson Group can acquire this genetic library from their ancestor, they can use technology and innovative methods to bring about super-evolution for all humanity, allowing the entire population to ascend!
By then, humans could overcome the species' limitations, unlock the Genetic Lock, break the Life Level shackles, and become a truly Strong Race in the world, mastering both the Magic Side and Technology Side.
Dare you say such ambition isn't grand?
These scientists hold no reverence or respect for the creators and deities, willing to place ancestors on the experimental table.
It's something only humans would dare do; other races are reverent toward their ancestors like respectful grandchildren.
Humans indeed have the confidence to be so arrogant.
After all, the Human Race's greatness has nothing to do with their ancestors, their current status is entirely due to their own efforts.
And it's not like the Human Federation hasn't slain gods, not just one or two.
The ancestor may be strong, but not overwhelmingly so.
Because once an organism evolves into a mythical creature, it's life level almost reaches the limit, touching the ceiling, advancing no further, its standing almost indistinguishable from its ancestors.
Watson Group intends to dig three feet into this planet, to find the human ancestor. If it's dead, bring the Divine Remains back for study, and if it's alive... courtesy first and force later; if necessary, kill it and bring it back.
Lu Xun was extremely interested in this project!
After all, he could create Puppets, so the workload wasn't a concern, he could simply send a human-shaped puppet over.
With a dozen relics, how many Trait Points are contained? It's simply unimaginable.
It's bound to earn a fortune!
"Are you sure you want to join the project? Once you've made up your mind, there's no turning back." Ding Xuezhu confirmed once more seriously, "Though Watson Group has strong capabilities, there will still be risks during exploration. Some risks are uncontrollable and purely accidental. For instance, the last time with the Naga Race, they encountered pirate disturbances. Perhaps you should go back and discuss with your family, consider carefully?"
"No need for all that trouble, let's just go, I won't turn back."
Lu Xun bravely replied, directly asking her: "When do we set out? I'm ready to leave at any time."
He was, after all, an Emperor, capable of establishing and destroying nations, risks were simply nonexistent for him.
"Not yet, a specific time hasn't been set, but it should be in about a month." Ding Xuezhu smiled at him, "Don't worry, I'll inform you when the time comes. Since you agreed, I'll report it to headquarters then. We'll sign a contract later."
A month later?
Lu Xun counted the time and nodded.
By then, he should already have moved to live in the Main City, which wouldn't affect the exploration at all.
Once the contract is signed, this cushy job won't be running away.
