Chapter 4: Chapter 4: First Simulation, Generating High-Level Bloodline
[At the beginning of the world's creation, the deity opened the land, brought down rain, and regulated the climate. (Land Card, Rainfall Card, and Ecology Card activated.)]
Bai Ze watched everything unfold.
In the previously empty world wall, a landmass with a diameter of 1 kilometer slowly began to form.
Heavy rain poured from the sky, creating large lakes and rivers.
The dull atmosphere also started to become full of vitality.
Flowers and grasses grew on the ground, and tall trees began to sprout.
[Early First Era: You notice that a batch of clay creatures has appeared in the forest on the land. They have no consciousness, no goals, and are simply moving aimlessly. (Clay Manufacture activated.)]
[Mid First Era: The world is unusually peaceful. After a long period, due to the climate and terrain of the forest, these clay creatures seem to have undergone some changes.]
[A small portion of them turned into tiny herbivorous creatures, while most evolved into an ape known as the Ancient Ape!]
[Ding! The Ancient Ape is born, Creation Points +10.]
[Ding! First-time birth of a creature, Creation Points +100.]
The system had explained this before by listening to the sounds.
During the simulation, things like achievements would appear, and Creation Points would be gained in return.
"This card was the right choice, all thanks to Yinyue," Bai Ze said with some excitement.
Expensive things naturally had their value.
With this, creatures had appeared, putting him far ahead of others!
[Late First Era: The Ancient Apes lived primarily on berries and leaves. Due to the difficulty of hunting alone, they began to develop a sense of tribal awareness.]
[Two groups of Ancient Apes, one with white fur and one with black fur, formed the White Ape Tribe and the Black Ape Tribe. (Gifted activated.)]
[End of First Era: The White Ape Tribe and Black Ape Tribe began to have internal divisions and developed their own hunting methods.]
[To hunt for food, the two tribes occasionally clashed, but the casualties were minor. (Peace Amulet activated.)]
[Early Second Era: In the White Ape Tribe, a freak was born. This individual was smaller in size, weak in strength, but extremely intelligent, named Bai Hou! (Dragon People activated.)]
[Ding! A high-blooded creature, Bai Hou is born. Host's Creation Points +20.]
"Wow... a high-blooded creature should be much stronger than normal creatures, right?!" Bai Ze said joyfully.
This was the beginning of civilization!
If civilization were born right from the first day, wouldn't it shock the others?
However, as nice as the idea was, the reality was harsh.
Soon, tragedy struck.
[Mid Second Era: During the reproductive process, the world's resources gradually dwindled. Except for the two tribes, most smaller species became extinct.]
[As a result, to compete for the scarce resources, the White Ape Tribe eventually went to war with the Black Ape Tribe!]
[Late Second Era: Under the leadership of Bai Hou, the White Ape Tribe learned to use nearby weapons and quickly defeated the Black Ape Tribe.]
[End of Second Era: After defeating the Black Ape Tribe, the White Ape Tribe suffered heavy losses, and the remaining resources were still insufficient for their survival, so they began a civil war.]
[Early Third Era: The civil war ended with Bai Hou's faction achieving a perfect victory.]
[Unfortunately, the land was already barren, the rivers had dried up, and food was almost nonexistent. In the end, despite Bai Hou's desperate struggle, extinction could not be avoided.]
[Thus, all life perished. The mother star, due to its small size, could not give birth to life on its own. This simulation has ended!]
"My heavens..." Upon reading the final line, Bai Ze felt a sense of hesitation.
As expected, he had been too optimistic.
A world forcibly built up using cards had no real potential. It couldn't even produce life on its own.
By the time it reached the third era, it collapsed.
No wonder the school was unwilling to invest resources.
In a normal world, based on real-time, this would have crumbled in half a day!
Using resources here would just be a waste!
However, Bai Ze did manage to earn a good amount of Creation Points in this simulation, which was the only positive outcome.
[Ding! The simulation has ended. Please select one species to preserve.]
[White Ape species, Black Ape species, Jerry, Bouncy...]
Bai Ze tilted his head slightly as he looked at the panel.
As the system had said, apart from the creatures he created using Clay Manufacture, no native life had been born.
He then asked, "Does the White Ape species include that Bai Hou?"
[Yes, host.]
After receiving the system's answer, Bai Ze thought for a moment.
Then, without hesitation, he chose the White Ape species.
After all, Bai Hou was his first high-blooded, intelligent creature.
If he didn't choose this species, who else could he pick?
[Ding! Congratulations, host. Selection successful!]
[Next, please temporarily solidify one talent!]
[Note: The temporarily solidified talent will appear again in the next round of selection.]
[If the host wishes to permanently solidify a talent, it will require a large amount of Creation Points!]
Bai Ze thought for a while.
No need to go that far.
The first round of simulations didn't yield any particularly good talents.
Why waste Creation Points to permanently solidify them?
"Temporarily solidify, Dragon People!" Bai Ze said.
The only blue talent, of course, he chose it.
Afterward, the system displayed a pop-up window.
[Temporary talent solidification successful.]
[This simulation has ended, cooling down for 30 minutes!]
Reading the subtitles in front of him, Bai Ze was momentarily stunned.
"This thing has a cooldown?" Bai Ze asked.
For a moment, the system didn't respond.
Oh well, since it's on cooldown, he might as well take the time to think about the next step for world planning.
The first simulation yielded some results.
A creature with a bit of intelligence had already appeared.
As for why it eventually went extinct, it wasn't because of war but due to the shortage of resources and food!
There was no help for it. Bai Ze's planet had lost the ability to produce resources and creatures on its own, relying entirely on those few cards.
With this in mind, Bai Ze decided to take a bold step.
His Clay Manufacture card was still available, and he also had the White Ape Tribe from the previous simulation.
If they just reproduced on land, competing for resources and food, it would be nothing but a desperate fight.
The remaining space for survival was the ocean!
"Since the ocean hasn't been generated yet, I'll temporarily set it as a lake," Bai Ze said firmly.
Having survived for 18 years, Bai Ze was very aware of the cruelty of this world.
Without power, one wouldn't even have a place to be buried after death.
Only by becoming stronger could one find a way to survive.
Moreover, the major universities would soon begin their admissions process.
With Xia Yinyue's talent, she would get into a good interstellar university.
Bai Ze didn't want to be separated from her because of this.
So now, he had to make the most of his time to improve his strength!
