"Sure enough..." The report was unusually short. After a quick glance, Lin Tuo withdrew his gaze and retracted his hand from touching the vines.

The latter shrank as if alive, and every green leaf curled up.

Immediately, he thought for a while, used his body to rise to the sky again, and repeatedly followed the green and white aura threads rising from the mainland to "teleport".

This ivy is not the only one swallowing ether.

After several inspections, he finally confirmed that there was more than one similar plant, and those thin ether clouds were formed due to these "demon".

However, it may be that the number is too rare, and the "demon" such as Ivy is still too weak and has only vaguely awakened consciousness, so the "etheric thread" it triggers is so thin.

"It can still be like this... As soon as you have a hazy consciousness, you will naturally understand the method of absorbing ether and strengthening yourself... Is this the effect of spirituality?

Just like animals are born with the ability to breathe and drink water, is it some sort of ‘instinct’?”

In Lishan Study, Lin Tuo withdrew his clone, his consciousness returned to his original body, and his eyes were filled with strange colors.

This is the first time I've seen it.

It's a pity that these original "demon" are too weak, even the "ability" column is blank and they have not been evolved.

"I'm really curious whether they can grow up." Thinking to himself, Lin Tuo did not interfere and restarted time acceleration, but he felt a little more hopeful.

…

The next morning, Lin Tuo didn't even think about reading.

Sitting in front of the desk, flipping through two pages of the magic book, I couldn't help but get up and look at it. After a while, I looked at it again. It felt like planting a potted flower and eagerly waiting for it to break out of the ground and bloom.

However, the next direction surprised him.

Run log:

[In the billionth year of the evolution of the world, a handful of plants on the barbaric land have opened up their intelligence, grown and evolved driven by instinct, and at the same time spread their seeds across the entire continent]

[However, the weakness of the plants themselves makes these spiritual intelligences either disappear for a long time, or become food for animals...

Over a long period of time, the original ecology has undergone rounds of evolution.

Countless species were born and died.

The animals gradually became active in the mountains, forests and rivers, and driven by instinct, they competed for plants, devoured them, evolved... and acquired all kinds of supernatural powers... and thus the monsters were born]

At the same time as the words appeared, the ether was also fluctuating all the time above the light and shadow that passed quickly in the sand table. There were more and more ether lines hanging between the sky and the earth.

But some of them no longer originate from the plants that first opened up their spiritual intelligence, but from animals.

They have different shapes and species, but due to ignorance, luck, or competition, they swallowed the plants that swallowed ether, and then they also awakened to wisdom.

This was somewhat beyond Lin Tuo's expectation, but if you think about it carefully, it was normal.

"It is really difficult for plants to succeed in cultivation, and in the end they are reduced to a role similar to a 'treasure of heaven and earth'..."

During this period, he paid extra attention to the ivy, and found with some regret that in the light and shadow, it still failed to withstand the erosion of time, and withered and faded away.

It was almost at the same time that the "demon" was born.

Following the general principle of sandbox simulation of reality, everything is getting closer to reality, and the human race has once again stepped onto the stage of the new world.

This time, what they need to face is not only the dangerous nature and ferocious beasts, but also monsters that are far more powerful than ordinary beasts.

However, the number of demons is still too small after all...compared to the entire continent, it is even more pitifully rare.

By evening, large tribes of primitive people had appeared on the mainland.

They gathered on the plains and by the rivers, and lived together. Lin Tuo occasionally turned off the acceleration of time, and when he looked down at the earth, he could recognize the flames they lit.

The flames were scattered from the beginning, but only a few in number.

Later, there were more and more of them, and every night, they dotted the vast land like a river of stars.

…

"Ha." Unconsciously, as the night deepened, Lin Tuo also felt sleepy while leaning at the desk, yawned, leaned against the desk in a daze, and dozed off.

Next door, in another room.

Hua Xi, who had just finished taking a shower and put on pajamas, opened the door, turned around and saw the study room, which was still bright in the middle of the night, and Lin Tuo leaning on the desk in the window.

She thought for a while, went back to the house, pulled out a thin blanket, and walked out again.

He gently pushed open the study room, covered Lin Tuo's body, and then looked doubtfully at the rows of books that had somehow appeared on the table, as well as the empty long table next to it.

He blinked, feeling a little disappointed in his eyebrows.

Turning around and leaving the room, closing the door, Huaxi thought for a while, hugged her knees and squatted under the eaves, looking at the insects flying under the light, lost in thought for a while, and then sighed softly.

"Why sigh?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Ah..." Hua Xi was stunned for a moment, turned her head suddenly, and saw the door behind her opened at some point.

Lin Tuo walked out the door tiredly, wrapped in the blanket, and then sat next to her under Hua Xi's gaze.

He didn't sleep that deeply at all.

"I..." Facing Lin Tuo's questioning eyes, Hua Xi opened her mouth, seemingly hesitant, but finally turned away and whispered, "Am I useless?"

"Why do you say that?" Lin Tuo asked in surprise.

"I've been living here for many days, but I haven't done anything. I beat up a puppet a few days ago, which anyone can do...

Although I don’t know what you have been busy with, teacher, but you are still very busy, but I can’t help you at all..."

Hua Xi lowered her head and her voice became lower as she spoke.

The face that had become much rounder due to the supplement of nutrients was full of frustration.

This kind of thought has been present for a long time, but just because I don't want to cause trouble, I always keep it in my heart and don't say it.

When Lin Tuo finally assigned her a task two days ago, no one knew how happy she was and how much strength she was holding back to perform well and get things done.

But when I finally got through it, I realized that there was no challenge at all and anyone could do it.

Especially after the last test, Lin Tuo didn't even teach subsequent fighting training, which inevitably made Huaxi's mood drop.

Even in the past two days, she occasionally missed the time in the wasteland.

Although life is hard, at least it is meaningful to live hard, instead of being a comfortable bastard.

These thoughts have been held in for a long time, like an expanding barrel. At this moment, some of them inevitably overflowed, falling into Lin Tuo's eyes. He was surprised at first, and then, there was something more in his eyes when he looked at the side of the little girl's face.

Sorry.

After all, it was because I had lived alone for too long after graduation, so even if I brought a student back, I would habitually ignore Huaxi's emotions.

Thinking of this, Lin Tuo raised his hand to cover the head of the eldest disciple next to him and rubbed it, causing Huaxi, who had his head lowered and a frustrated look on his face, to hum. He didn't know whether it was because of embarrassment or enjoyment.

After a moment, the dry and warm hand left again, and Lin Tuo's voice echoed in his ears:

"Actually, I've been thinking recently that I might have to entrust you with something."

Huaxi's ears twitched and she looked up at him, a little doubtful: "Really?"

"Really," Lin Tuo couldn't laugh or cry, "But the premise is that you must maintain a good mental state, otherwise I will not dare to use you again if you delay things."

Huaxi sniffed and nodded quickly: "I will keep it!"

"Then go to bed, don't stay up late." Lin Tuo stood up, threw the blanket on his body to her, and said with a smile.

Hua Xi hummed and said, "Teacher, go to bed early."

After driving the little girl back into the room, Lin Tuo shook his head and laughed. He couldn't help but yawned again, rubbed his sleepy eyes, opened the door, and entered the bedroom.

Not long after, the lights in the quiet martial arts hall were extinguished one after another, leaving only the study room and the huge sand table, where countless days and nights were still spinning rapidly.

Ten thousand years have passed

Twenty thousand years have passed

…

The chaotic human race multiplies, expands, fights with the sky, monsters, and each other. In the fleeting light and shadow, groups of human buildings gradually appear on the originally barren land.

The scattered tribes also became a unified city.

People put on clothes, understood shame, and had language and writing...

The number of demons has always been rare, but they have existed throughout history.

New words are constantly appearing in the operation log:

[In the year... of the evolution of the world, humans have mastered metal smelting... farming technology...]

[In the year..., the first slavery dynasty was born...]

…

[In the year..., the seventy-two vassal states formed an alliance and the "Ding" dynasty was established]

…

A night of silence.

Vertical sun.

When Lin Tuo had breakfast, opened the door and entered the study, overlooking the sand table, he saw that just overnight, a dynasty had appeared on the entire vast continent of five million square kilometers.

"Well, why does it feel like it evolved faster than last time..."

Lin Tuo blinked, overlooking the various villages scattered across the continent, and marveled:
Chapter completed!
