Chapter 3031 The Structure of the Pangu Clan
The Pangu Clan member was still struggling.
There was not the slightest hint of enlightenment and wisdom that a ‘civilized man’ should have in him. Instead, he was filled with the simplicity, recklessness, and barbarism of a prehistoric beast. He was not scared of death at all. Instead, he squandered the last bit of his vitality and tried to stand up on all fours, only to fail again and again.
In the end, he completely collapsed. His chest rose and fell rapidly as he roared like a bull.
The voice gradually weakened. He was dead. No more brainwaves were sent out. The arrogance, brutality, and brutality on his face were frozen into confusion and loss.
Li Yao waited patiently for a long time. Then, he asked Little Black to check and make sure that the body functions of the Pangu Clan member had been completely cut off.
Standing in front of the hill-like body, Li Yao pondered for a moment and decided to perform an ‘autopsy’.
There was no need to really cut open his stomach. He could simply simulate the ultrasonic waves with the high-frequency vibration of his hands and check whether or not something had been implanted into the body of the Pangu Clan member, which made him go crazy. Li Yao circled around the Pangu Clan and returned to his head.
The head of the Pangu Clan was as thick as Li Yao’s. Li Yao tried his best to press his hands against his temples. His hands immediately turned into two streaks of grey mist. Weak bioelectricity spurted out of his palms and flowed into his body through the temples of the Pangu Clan, while he sensed the brightness of his brain, which was gradually dying down, and every meridian inside his body.
It was a typical member of the Pangu Clan, no different from the corpses that the Star Glory Federation had found in the Kunlun Mysterious Land and the Pangu Underground Palace.
What was special about them compared to human beings was that ‘third brain’ was embedded between the two halves of their brain, which was similar to the ‘pineal gland’ of human beings. Or rather, they were born with spiritual roots that were visible to the naked eye.
The ‘third brain’ was the material foundation for the Pangu Clan to release powerful brainwaves and realize super-long-range telepathy and a large-scale mental network.
It was also the natural gift that allowed the Pangu Clan to communicate with the intelligent creatures on different carbon bases and become the leader of the Pangu Civilization Alliance.
It was a pity that there were pros and cons to everything. Any advantage of evolution had a high price. The Pangu Clan was on the wrong path of evolution. Or rather, their brain evolution was too extreme.
dve
It was true that the ‘third brain’ could release brainwaves and achieve high-speed telepathic thoughts, but the heat, oxygen, and energy consumption were all astronomical.
Maybe, the Pangu Clan in the beginning accidentally discovered the mysteries of mind communication and mental attacks. The Pangu Clan, which was best at mind communication and mental attacks, took the advantage in the fierce competition for survival and evolved in such a way
Over the long years, in order to carry the ‘third brain’, which was getting larger and larger, and to process the tremendous data that was transmitted and transmitted telepathically, they had to evolve the left half of the brain and the right half of the skull that were getting larger and larger, including a ‘cooling system’ that the human brain did not have, as well as a special energy transmission and storage system that supplied the super brain. In order to accommodate the system, the Pangu Clan grew larger and larger. In the end, they were all more than twenty meters tall on average, almost as tall as the largest reptiles.
In other words, the Pangu Clan did not need such a huge body. It was only because they had a super-large head that they had to match such an enormous and clumsy body.
Then, was it possible to change the way of evolution and only grow an enormous head while keeping the body exactly the same, or even completely regress?
Such bizarre creatures had appeared in many fantasy novels, including Lu Qingchen’s Phantom Plan.
However, the body of a carbon-based intelligent life form was a very delicate and compact system. The so-called body was not just meant to support the movement of the brain. It was also responsible for the absorption and digestion of the nutrition that the brain required. The brain of the Pangu Clan, in particular, had to be constantly supplied with burning oxygen. The brain of the Pangu Clan often required high-intensity operation in order to achieve mental communication and mental attacks. The temperature was often raised to almost a hundred degrees. In order to lower the temperature, the Pangu Clan also had a kind of body fluid that was different from blood and similar to ‘cooling liquid’. The body fluid had to circulate at a high speed throughout the body and be cooled by the hot stream emitted by the wrinkles on the skin. Only with a huge body and a large enough area of wrinkled skin could the cooling liquid be restored to an extremely low temperature after one round of circulation and protect the heated brain again.
The brain, the reliance of emotions, the carrier of thoughts, and the residence of the soul, although less than one twentieth of the weight of a human body, consumed more than one third of the oxygen and nutrition. For a Cultivator such as Li Yao, his brain might consume almost all the oxygen and nutrition. How could he live without a strong body?
Therefore, the freaks who only had brains but no bodies could never evolve in nature unless they were supported by a full set of machines and biochemical circulation systems.
Just like life in nature could never evolve into seemingly efficient organs such as wheels. Li Yao estimated that the enormous, heavy, and clumsy body was not a big problem on the original planet of the Pangu Clan.
Many biologists, cosmologists, and archeologists believed that the original planet of the Pangu Clan was likely to be a planet with low density and mass, high oxygen content, and low temperature. The lower the mass, the lower the gravity. Together with the high oxygen content, creatures could grow unscrupulously. Even if they weighed dozens of tons, they could still move as fast as swallows.
The low temperature was naturally conducive to the cooling of the brain, which made the Pangu Clan less worried about the brain overheating. Just like that, the Pangu Clan thrived on their native planet, developed a brilliant civilization, and flew out of their mother planet.
After they flew out of their mother planet and explored countless habitable planets, they discovered that their mother planet—the ‘low-mass, low-gravity, high-oxygen, and cold-air’ planets—was a rare exception. Most of the habitable planets were ‘standard’ planets from the perspective of human beings such as Empyrean Terminus and Heaven’s Origin, which meant high-mass, high-gravity, low-oxygen, and relatively high temperature. It was already too late.
They had walked so far on the road of evolution. It was safe to say that their entire civilization was based on telepathic thoughts and mental attacks. How could they chop off their most powerful techniques and restart them, thereby changing their life form completely?
Oh. It was possible. It was also the reason why the Pangu Clan wanted to ‘create human beings’.
Compared with the bodies of the Pangu Clan, the bodies of human beings might have a hundred shortcomings, but the three advantages of ‘low energy consumption, high adaptability, and great potential’ were enough to win the competition of survival with a deadline of a million years.
Li Yao sensed every organ of the Pangu Clan carefully, especially the marvelous ‘cooling system’.
It was a fluid circulation system that was hundreds of times thinner and more complicated than the veins and nerves, including the heat dissipation pores that were hidden inside the wrinkles of the skin. The heat dissipation efficiency of the power unit was comparable to that of a starship. It was indeed an unbelievable direction of evolution.
“As I expected, my braincells have been completely burnt. My entire brain is a mess. Even the gods can’t save me.
“It was not easy for the Pangu Clan to survive, build, and fight on countless planets with such a clumsy and redundant body!
Li Yao sighed. The more he learned about the Pangu Clan, the more he felt that the Pangu Clan was not killed by the Nuwa Clan, and certainly not by human beings, but by the shortcomings of their own evolution, or rather, by the ‘heavenly law’ that restricted the intelligent life of the carbon-based creatures from exceeding the limits and the universe!
While he was pondering, Li Yao suddenly sensed that there were uneven stripes on the inside of the left wrist of the Pangu Clan member.
It was a very delicate rune hidden among the wrinkles, which looked like the overlapping of countless complicated patterns. The standard language of the Pangu Clan looked like a human tattoo.
The ‘3D tattoo’ stunned Li Yao.
Although he did not know the specific content of the tattoos, he had seen many similar tattoos in his research files, including the ones on the wrists of many elite warriors of the Pangu Clan in the Kunlun Mysterious Land and the Pangu Underground Palace.
It seemed to be a symbol of the bravery of the Pangu Clan, which had been passed on after the earthshaking civil war between the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan.
In other words…
The Pangu Clan member was indeed from the prehistoric era and a well-trained elite warrior. He was definitely not a primitive barbarian.
How was it possible!?
The elite warriors of the Pangu Clan were adept at all kinds of mysterious techniques. They could use large-scale armors similar to crystal suits and terrifying magical equipment. Their mental attacks should be more organized and targeted. They should be able to respond to Li Yao’s telepathic thoughts. At the very least, they should have a high level of understanding about the status of their brain and know when to cool it down instead of launching mental attacks recklessly and burning themselves to death!
Looking at the dirty eyes of the Pangu Clan, Li Yao was deeply confused.
He had thought that the Pangu Clan member was a ‘barbarian’ who had been living on his own in the natural environment, just like the human beings who grew up in the jungle.
But the tattoo on his wrist irrefutably indicated that he had once been a member of the tribe and possessed great wisdom.
“Could it be…”
Deep in thought, Li Yao mumbled to himself, “It’s true that the Pangu Clan regained their emotions and their will, but the price was the complete loss of rationality and wisdom. “It’s like… it’s like… emotions and will are a river that is too violent. They were originally sealed and strangled, but when the seal is completely broken, the torrent is unstoppable, and even rationality and wisdom are washed away?”
It was the only reasonable explanation.
But it was definitely not the answer that Li Yao had hoped for.
Of course, he was not the only member of the Pangu Clan who went mad after his resurrection. Long Yangjun, Ding Lingdang, and the rest of them had probably fought against the infuriated Pangu Clan a long time ago. The crash of Long Yangjun’s starship was proof of that.
Then, where were the remaining Pangu Clan, Long Yangjun, Ding Lingdang, and the rest of them?
