When Zhang Yi heard the word "angel", his heart moved.

He remembered hearing this word from other underground civilizations, but he was not sure what it meant.

Many people have misunderstandings about words like "God" and "angel", thinking that they are imported. In fact, they are traditional Chinese words.

"God" is mostly used to describe the Five Gods, while angels are the emperor's messengers.

In "Journey to the West", Taibai Star Lord was called the old angel by Sun Wukong.

In Water Margin, angels refer to officials sent by the emperor to take action.

However, Zhang Yi felt that the angel Ling mentioned was different from what he understood.

“Are angels the second generation?”

Zhang Yi asked.

Ling shook her head.

"No, angels are a special group. They have no gender and cannot reproduce. The purpose of their birth is only to teach [Asu] how to survive on this planet."

“The only difference between them and Asu is that they have extremely high spirituality.”

“And spirituality is the power of survival and also represents wisdom.”

"But later, the Asu group gradually died out. This was because the Creator discovered that this species was a complete failure. They survived, hunted, and reproduced like wild beasts, and were simply unable to observe and understand the world as the Creator had expected."

“So the Creator sent a great flood to destroy them.”

Zhang Yi sighed: "The Creator really doesn't understand the material world, otherwise how could he create a group of wild beasts?"

Ling nodded.

"The Creator does not dare to create a race that is too powerful. As mentioned before, the Creator is the will born from the collection of spirits. If he wants to understand this world, he must separate his own spirituality. When these spiritual substances enter the bodies of intelligent creatures, they will sever their connection with him and will not be under his control."

"If this group becomes too powerful and controls too much spiritual power, it may even become the master and lose the control of the Creator."

Zhang Yi shrugged: "The network between the main system and the subsystem is disconnected. You are worried that the subsystem will be upgraded too quickly, right?"

“That’s probably the concept!”

Ling said: "However, after the first failure, the Creator learned from the previous lesson. He believed that lower creatures could not complete the observation task, so when shaping the second generation of life, he gave them extremely high spirituality."

"This generation of life is the most favored by the Creator, because they are very spiritual and possess powerful wisdom. Therefore, they quickly created an extremely advanced civilization, and their observations of the world became increasingly broad."

"After creating the second generation, the Creator originally thought that the universe had entered a state of perfect balance."

"But then, an accident happened."

Zhang Yi asked curiously, "The Creator's favorites, who can destroy them unless the Creator does it himself?"

Ling stared at Zhang Yi. For some reason, Zhang Yi felt that her eyes were a little strange.

"Themselves."

Ling said so.

"The second generation is too spiritual and extremely intelligent. This leads them to gradually realize the meaning of their existence, which is to observe the world as tools."

"And as civilization progressed, they slowly began to lose their fertility and began to isolate themselves."

"The young second generation of the tribe became addicted to the illusory world and were unwilling to accept the fact that they were just tools. The development of civilization also stagnated, and the tribe even began to show signs of shrinking."

"And so the world came to a standstill."

Ling paused, then slowly said: "The second generation is called the Yihen Clan. That's us."

Zhang Yi had long guessed in his heart that the god-level civilization must have come from the ancient times, and possessed extremely powerful power, and may have existed for an extremely long time.

Because the longer a civilization exists, the higher the possibility that it will become stronger.

Zhang Yi looked at Ling, "If you stopped reproducing, why didn't you die out?"

Ling said: "It's simple, because we have mastered the skills of eternal life."

"This is a forbidden ability that touches the realm of God!"

Zhang Yi began to get excited. It can be said that it is instinctive for carbon-based creatures to pursue immortality.

Human beings are afraid of death and have longed for immortality since ancient times.

Unexpectedly, I actually saw the seed of immortality!

This also shows that the so-called five mass extinctions that occurred on this planet did not really destroy everything!

Even the Yihen people were able to retain their powerful civilizational force!

"I've said before, the Creator dispersed the ether into countless fragments and let them enter the bodies of the created organisms, allowing them to sense the world."

“However, even if the spiritual energy of the etheric world is very huge, if people do not die, then the power of the Creator will continue to weaken.”

"So the self-destruction program of life is set by the Creator."

"After a person dies, the so-called soul, or spirit, will return to the ether with all its feelings in the material world."

"That is what you call heaven or hell. Because a small number of spirits may return to the ether for a short time when their bodies die or are on the verge of death, and then return to the material world."

“They feel the life of other spirits, and feel the happiness and suffering of others.”

"Spirit has similarity. After returning, it will be close to the spirit with which it had a strong relationship during its time in the material world."

“Those who do evil will feel the pain of being the ones who died for their sins; those who do good will receive the feedback of the good thoughts they have given to others.”

"Heaven is other people, hell is other people."

“That’s where heaven and hell come from.”

“But in the final analysis, after returning, we will all become one, and our spirits will return to the ether.”

Zhang Yi asked curiously, "So your actions have been punished by the Creator, and he wants to destroy you?"

"No, the Creator did not do that."

Ling shook her head.

"The Yihen tribe is God's favorite and his most satisfying masterpiece. Even though we have glimpsed the secret of eternal life, he still has hope for us."

"Moreover, if we stop reproducing, we will not obtain more spirits from the Etheric World. The existing spiritual energy is insignificant to the entire Etheric World."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi expressed his feelings.

"In this way, your species can survive forever! There is no need to reproduce, and the number of individuals will not decrease. Isn't this a wonderful thing?"

Ling asked back: "Is eternal life really a happy thing?"

“In a future without hope, when you realize that the meaning of your existence is just a program set by other beings, you will gradually lose the desire to exist.”

The world before Zhang Yi's eyes changed, from the birth of planets to the rise of intelligent creatures, and then tens of millions of skyscrapers rose above the earth, and technology developed rapidly.

A creature that looks very similar to humans began to become the master of all things.

Zhang Yi felt that all of this looked familiar. He suddenly remembered that the huge stone statue in the black room he found underground looked like this.

Now that I think about it, those were the things left behind by the Yihen people.

"The Creator loves the Yihen people, but he gradually becomes disappointed with them. He can't bear to destroy his most beloved creation with his own hands, but he still needs someone to continue to observe the material world for him."

"So at this time, he combined the previous two failures and created a third kind of intelligent creature. This is the third generation of this world - Drucker."

"The Yihen tribe is indeed close to perfection, but we have too high an IQ and have learned to think for ourselves, so that we have transcended the original design of the Creator. We will not reproduce according to the will of the Creator and exist as an observer tribe."

"So when the Creator created Drucker, he weakened their wisdom and strengthened their physical bodies."

"They have bodies that are extremely difficult to kill, but they have low IQs and are extremely brutal. So after they were born, they quickly became the most powerful beings on this planet. Even the Yihen tribe, who have a high level of civilization, can only compete with them with difficulty."

Zhang Yi asked in confusion: "The Yihen people, who are immortal and have extraordinary civilization, can't defeat Drucker? According to you, they should be just a group of primitive people."

Ling looked at him and explained, "I've said before, after realizing the nature of this world, the Yihen people have begun to become indifferent to existence itself. They have no intention of competing with Drucker for anything, but have been busy looking for the meaning of their own existence."

"When Drucker fully grows up, their brutal growth will no longer be something the Yihen tribe can control."

Zhang Yi held his chin with one hand, lamenting the unreliability of the Creator.

He is an omniscient and omnipotent God, but the three generations of humans he created are full of flaws.

"If Drucker is really like you said, and can't even defeat the Ihen tribe, then you should be wiped out in the end, and there will be no humans later."

Ling nodded.

"You hit the nail on the head!"

In the image before his eyes, one giant after another with extremely huge and ferocious appearances appeared on the plains of the planet.

They are savage and brutal, and regard everything as their food.

Animals, plants, and even soil will be swallowed into their stomachs.

The Creator has endowed them with powerful vitality, making them almost difficult to kill.

And in front of them, those fully armed Ihen warriors holding laser weapons were defeated in their charge.

"It was the Creator who finally took action against the Druckers."

Ling said.

"The talents bestowed by this race are too powerful, even beyond the control of the Creator. The Creator only allows them to observe the material world, but does not allow them to destroy it."

"Every living thing will be destroyed wherever they pass. Even the Yihen tribe, the one most beloved by the Creator, will be used as food by them."

"The Creator hates these beasts, so he decided to destroy them completely."

Zhang Yi blinked and asked, "Is it still a flood?"

Ling looked at Zhang Yi, "There is indeed such a record. The Creator gave the Yihen tribe an oracle, asking them to store enough food in advance and hide underground or on the top of the mountains. Then he launched a great flood and completely submerged Druk."

"However, not all of the Druckers died. Some of them survived. There is no other way. When the Creator created them, he gave them too strong a vitality!"

"And the Druckers that survived, thanks to their ability to eat everything, quickly multiplied and grew stronger."

Zhang Yi couldn't help but hold his forehead: "It's really hard to kill!"

Ling said: "Seeing that Drucker was about to completely destroy the world he created, this time, the Creator was really angry."

Zhang Yi raised his own new doubt: "Isn't the Creator omniscient and omnipotent? He can create the entire universe, so why can't he just take action and wipe Drucker out of the world?"

Ling said: "I have said that the Creator is the overall will of the etheric world. And the intelligent creatures on the planet are all part of the ether. In other words, each of us is a part of the Creator."
