Episode 112. Namyeokmanrihaeng side story – Shin

The primordial gods despaired a hundred million years ago, seeing the traces of their kind disintegrate into nothingness, embedded in the bodies of crude material creatures.

But I didn’t give up. Even in the creatures that exist now, there are faint traces of intelligence, self, and will.

The primordial gods desperately promote the evolution of the world’s creatures, that is, the evolutionary mechanisms built into their bodies.

In other words, it is ‘directional evolution’. Although it is denied on modern Earth, the primordial gods intervene artificially in the evolution of living things. They had the power and materials to do so.

The goal is to somehow increase the number of intelligent beings in the world.

And as similarly as possible, so to speak, to increase the compatibility between creatures and to develop their civilization, so as to somehow create beings with minds powerful enough to reach their own realm.

They decide to create a human being.

A typical example is the dragon tribe, including Iyakan. They are the first hexapods to conquer the world. The dragon tribe’s intelligence is also increased without any consideration.

But these are failures. They evolved in a direction where the will is not directed outward but rather inwardly, and so they were of no help to the primordial gods who needed to receive the will and awaken.

They doubted whether they could even become gods. It was doubtful whether living beings could become gods in the first place, but Iyakan really seemed like it would not happen.

So they created the Iyakan and left it alone. The Iyakans were left alone for millions of years, evolving on their own and forming civilizations on their own. That’s why they evolved before the apes, but they never took over the world.

The most successful example of all the intelligent beings being created was on the continent of Olsozora, a super-powered continent. The gods there, after desperate efforts, chose a species of primate and caused extremely rapid evolution and speciation.

As a result, the homeland of all modern humans is the continent of Olsozo. It is no coincidence that the first race to branch out from the evolutionary lineage of the apes of this world is the Borin race, whose intelligence has increased in the high-power zone.

But Borin failed. If it is not a high-powered area, their intelligence is significantly lowered.

Nono and Patchar are also failures. They are too emotional. It is a different kind of mental strength than the will they desire.

Lumo and Gigad are also failures. They created a gentle nature contrasting with a strong body, but they lack will and desire.

Daton is also a failure. Everything is good, but it cannot escape the ultra-high horsepower zone.

Erin and Bark also failed. They turned their magic power into metabolic activation.

The backdoor is also a failure. You can go anywhere, but your will and desire have been weakened in the process.

The Tochado is also a failure. It is possible to survive in the low-magic zone, but it is still too dependent on physical ability.

That’s what they thought. They didn’t succeed. They actually thought it would take hundreds of millions of years for these apes to achieve something like civilization and reach a level similar to theirs.

But in reality, the interaction of matter, mystery, and will created an explosive effect that created civilization much earlier.

Daton created the first civilization, the first new man, and around the same time, if not simultaneously, the powerful meme that spread and triggered civilization.

Erin and coincidentally unearthed the ancient gods that were in the most exposed places, and after that, ancient gods all over the world rose up in response to the movements of their kind. The biggest trigger was the countless waves of divine power that the best in the world sent from Go Aran.

The goal of the primordial gods who have finally come back to life in the modern era is the same as it was in the past: survival.

And in order to survive, it was necessary to ‘somehow’ elevate the spirit of these newly emerged apes from the beast to a higher plane.

In addition to that, there is a great culture that stimulates their spirit. Also, a powerful mystery seems to further train their will, so that too must be done… … .

Ultimately, we need to create an environment where the primordial gods can operate sufficiently in this world, or create a new vessel that surpasses the current creatures.

In that respect, the primordial gods were truly and purely interested only in the development and prosperity of modern humanity.

“Then aren’t all the primordial gods good and superior beings?”

Well… … . Development and prosperity are actually issues that go beyond good and evil.

The primordial gods were clearly all superior and wise beings. And they truly cared for humanity. Unlike ‘those things’, they also had a sufficient understanding of the material world.

Just as All Chaun was truly engaged in politics for the sake of Datang, causing the Shujor region to revolt twice, and Cheon-geop truly invaded and burned the world for the sake of the peace and safety of his people, the Ancient Gods also gave direction and strength to modern humanity in the most effective way they could think of.

When it comes to talking about politics, the world is really difficult.

This is the extreme west. It is the westernmost part of the west. It is the most remote part of the world. Because the path is narrow and rugged, it is the last place humans have arrived.

Even though they are now in the ancient era, they still maintain a primitive hunter-gatherer ecology. The only remaining races are Erin and Borin. They barely have a language, and they haven’t even gotten out of the Stone Age, let alone writing.

Even the mystery has not found anything plausible. The magic pressure is low and there are some celestial bodies, but it does not lead to the mystery.

But grace has finally come to them. A wave of divine power from the distant South Seas has struck the Far West.

The primordial gods that were dormant in the ground awaken, and they finally witness a powerful mystery: the power of the gods that existed in the primordial times.

“Wh, what?”

“You don’t know?”

“That thing. It’s shining!”

The primordial god reacts to the crude vocabulary. The primordial god knows that the power of his kind has awakened him, but what he sees before his eyes are the uncivilized primitive Erins.

-… … No. What do you want me to do?

“Huh? Huh?”

-Are you intelligent?

“Intelligence? What is it?”

-Ah, right. But it doesn’t seem like it doesn’t exist. Ha… … But why is the level of the soul so low… … . It’s driving me crazy. It seems like other people of my species have encountered an intelligent being, but why did it have to be me… … .

“It shines.”

“Is it dangerous?”

“pretty.”

When the Taiko-Shin saw Erin and Borin’s bodies, he felt nothing but misery.

– Damn it. You guys come here. Let’s see… … No. How on earth did they evolve to have such a mess of genetic code? Why are the blood vessels like this? No, why are there blind spots in their visual organs? Oh, this is going to hurt. Did our kind give up on making the code halfway through… …?

“uh?”

In the year 2000 of the ancient era, the tearful training of primitive humans by the primordial gods who fell into the remote region began.

-Looking at that creature’s genetic code, you’ll get sick if you eat it. Don’t eat it.

-Why do you build houses like that… … . You can build them more efficiently. By fitting wood and stones together like this… … .

– Judging from the movement of the celestial bodies, it will rain soon. Gather firewood and prepare.

-Finally, someone with some brains has come out. I’ll give you a little bit of my power, really a little bit, so you can take it and hunt a little bit. Hmm? Let’s increase the number and create a somewhat intelligent culture.

-Oh, please, don’t eat anything and get sick! Your bodies are too weak! Come here so I can treat you. I think it’ll be okay since your body composition analysis is finished.

The primitive tribes grow in an instant. The primordial gods who once created great civilizations. They had amazing intelligence and will, and also had the mystery of divine power to share with them.

With the intervention of humans, Erin in the Far West develops at an incredible rate. The Primordial Gods discovered in Erin in the Far West unearth other Primordial Gods one by one, and through their connections with them, they raise their crude civilization to incredible heights.

“Our great God! What shall we do now?”

-Please think before you ask. Let’s see. Now that some of you have shed your shells, I want to spread it out more widely… … .

A completely isolated environment. They build civilization at the speed of light under the guidance of the great god. If you were to hear that All Chaun, who built a Tang from scratch, was running at a speed that would make you vomit blood out of frustration.

This was the best course of action for the primordial gods of the Far West. In their eyes, the primitive apes were too uncivilized and could do nothing without their teachings. They had to somehow raise their intelligence and self-esteem so that they could be of help to their civilization.

However, their intervention has the opposite effect: it has sterilized the imagination, creativity, and intelligence of the peoples of the Far West. They only need to listen to the word of God, and there is no need for any other work.

Even the gods have such great intelligence that they constantly come up with things that are far superior to what they could think of.

The primordial gods also gave up on humanity, which was not developing. After all, their own survival and the revival of their kind were more important… … .

-Ah. I’ve finally finished deciphering your genetic code. You uncivilized ape children… … Now I’ll evolve you.

-First of all, it’s inconvenient not to be able to fly, so let’s put a membrane on it and make it fly.

-Some of you will grow 5 times your size. Strengthen your teeth, muscles, and digestive system… … .

– Come to think of it, females with low muscle strength don’t need intelligence in the first place, right? It would be good to just increase the number of uteruses to three and the number of breasts to three, and make them into devices for giving birth. Then, they would also reach sexual maturity faster…

-Let’s see… … That’s right. Ji-seong. This one is a bit difficult to touch, but first, we need to properly program his obedience to us.

-Wait a minute, my fellow countrymen in faraway places! I’ll go and meet these uncivilized people somehow! You may be suffering, but just bear with it for a little while! As you know, I used to be the best programmer!

The primordial gods were able to make ‘directional evolution’.

And that too, by borrowing the power of mystery, at an incredible speed, a drastic change that is almost unimaginable.

The primitive humans who were already Erin and Borin. The buds that could have blossomed into another civilization are plucked out here. Those who only obey the commands of the gods and become vessels for them, twisted beings bred as the gods of the far west desire are born.

It was the moment when the Demon Clan was born.

“Kuaaaah!”

The Tyrant King is hit by the distorted mystery and rolls around on the ground. The seven primal gods who saw this mutter.

-The experiment failed again this time.

-Isn’t the idea itself flawed? The very idea of ​​inducing artificial de-escaping through a transformed mystery.

-That’s right. Artificial de-shelling was impossible for us too.

The Dragon King, who suffered severe physical and mental damage, is being questioned in a ridiculous way.

“No! If it was impossible for you guys, why on earth did you even try?!”

-I’m so frustrated, so I told you to try anything…

“No, shouldn’t you suggest some realistic method!”

-Even if that’s the case… … .

-Because we didn’t originally have bodies like yours.

-There used to be a separate expert in biological programming. I was a toy factory worker hundreds of millions of years ago, so how would I know about the development of spirit and flesh?

“Programming? A toy factory? What are you talking about?”

-Oh, there is something like that.

-Anyway, don’t think that you can do anything just because you’re a primordial god. We were just ordinary people. Some people actually became gods just because they lived long enough.

– In fact, that was the only way for us to become new. The principle wasn’t discovered even hundreds of millions of years ago.

-Rather, it seems like your civilization and intelligence are developing faster than ours.

In the end, there is no way. The Tyrant King rules over himself and criticizes these incompetent primal gods.

“But looking at what you guys are doing, it seems like the world won’t end just because other gods wake up.”

-I guess so. Everyone was nice.

-If you are not good, you will be kicked out of our world.

-Why don’t you try to be a little better? Pay more attention to politics.

-I’ll help you with politics. But we’re still alive thanks to you.

The Dragon King scratches himself until his feathers fall out. The Dragon King’s efforts to become a god continue.

Anyway, regardless of his personal failures and futility, Go Aran is progressing thanks to the gentle primal gods.
