Fox Has No Malicious Intent

"Whoa, what the heck is this?"

Seeing a humanoid figure emerge from the abyss, Ansheng couldn't help but feel uncertain and quietly murmured, watching the sharp-headed creature.

"Me?"

"145,000 years ago, we called ourselves the Dragon People Race, born north of the present-day Qinling region, specifically in the three northern provinces of Xia Country and Capital City...."

The humanoid, with a somewhat oval-shaped head, looked at the small fox standing upright and smiled as it spoke:

"You don't need to be surprised by how I know about your current affairs. I turned into mycelium 146,000 years ago, but I preserved a drop of blood in this fungal research facility, and I set it so it would need human blood to activate."

"Blood is the carrier of information. I read the information in your blood, so I know the current era, your language, and some things about your society."

The sharp-headed creature, claiming to be a Dragon Person, spoke fluent Xia Country's common language in a calm tone, without any hostility, but rather with some cheerfulness.

It was joyous, even somewhat relieved, upon seeing humans.

As the Dragon Person began to speak, the commotion caused by its appearance at the Security Bureau also subsided.

"And the technology in this room?"

Li Wenkang looked at the Dragon Person and spoke directly without any formality.

"None."

The Dragon Person's gaze shifted to Li Wenkang, and it gently shook its head, speaking with a hint of mockery, "I know you're collecting documents related to the Spiritual Particles from our era, but you're actually engaging in futile efforts...."

"Because, when we perished, we deliberately destroyed the technological essence of our civilization."

"So, even if you bring a cigarette butt to burn me now, I cannot conjure out of thin air a technology rooted in fungi and evolved from there."

Li Wenkang: "......"

Ansheng: "....."

Goodness, an old relic from over a hundred thousand years ago is playing internet memes.

How did Xia Country's technology develop?

Answer: Caught aliens on the far side of the moon and burned their butts with cigarette butts.

"So, what did you do?" Upon learning that the old relic at the research facility site destroyed all research data and documents before its demise, Li Wenkang's old face immediately lengthened, retorting at the ancient projection in front of him.

On the eve of the Spiritual Particles' revival.

Whoever masters the manufacturing process of Spiritual Particles holds the key to opening a new era.

In the world, there is not just one country, in Li Wenkang's mind there are two: Xia and others, if Xia cannot outrun other countries, it might end up eating dust.

"What did I do?"

The Dragon Person was stunned, then laughed and said, "I stayed here specifically to encourage you."

"In our time, it was also due to the catalysis of the Spiritual Particles' revival that we initiated natural selection."

"At that time, we were very primitive, not even considered as Homo sapiens, just some type of mammal. Yet under such circumstances, we began a new evolution."

"In the struggle with giant beasts, we grew, and we eventually reached where you are now, discovering the 'Primordial Gene' and finding relics of the previous era."

"Among numerous relics, one was particularly unique, with no technology or ancient historical documents, but housed a person who spoke to us about their magnificent civilization, the process of its demise, and its reflections."

"They went further than us, even able to traverse the cosmos with their stacked flesh."

"Hmm..."

"You needn't look at me as if I'm crazy," the Dragon Person waved and said, "I merely used a simple vocabulary to describe the characteristics of their civilization."

"If I were to elaborate, you could consider them as a civilization constantly engaging in selective breeding, stacking superior genes onto biological bodies, thereby constructing flesh biological warships capable of traversing the cosmos."

"But they perished due to the Blue Star's environmental changes, altering the geology with their flesh civilization, rendering the land and water of Blue Star highly toxic for nearly 300 million years....."

"They knew the reason for their civilization's demise but missed the period of the Spiritual Particles' revival, surviving with difficulty..."

"A scientist, at the brink of the civilization's collapse, created a piece of pure land to leave behind flesh crystals."

"Even though the race was different, it knew that in the future, due to the catalysis of the Spiritual Particles, similar intelligent beings would emerge again, so it left warnings for future generations not to repeat its mistakes."

The Dragon Person slowly raised its hand, and under the glow of the surrounding fluorescent light, black sticky substances seeped out from its arm, covering its entire body to form a biological battle armor.

Under the gaze of the people, it floated straight into midair.

"Through extensive research and analyzing relics from the previous era to cross-verify, we concluded that the contents of the relics didn't deceive us, leading our research direction to shift from fundamental gene technology to another dimension."

The Dragon Person didn't even move, and the gravity around seemed to disappear entirely, causing everyone to gradually float upwards.

In the hall, resembling a conference room, cracks began to appear as black thread-like objects resembling fungal blankets spread.

One by one, round metal objects flew out from the abyss, encircling the Dragon Person, gradually dissolving to form a cockpit.

Deep, dark matter like tides, with a glowing halo floating behind the metal cockpit emitting a cold energy light, reflecting onto the earth.

For a moment, its image seemed to overlap with the immortals from mythical stories.

"Whoa! Psychic Power!"

Seeing the faintly manifesting Spiritual Particles' giant hand around the glowing halo in the cockpit, Ansheng was instantly left in utter amazement.

"The technology of our Dragon People race, which you might perceive as psychic technology, involves abandoning our prior flesh modifications, using a fungal carrier for our past technology, embedding it within us to awaken the power to alter reality through will."

The Dragon Person held no malice towards humans, merely displaying the technological essence developed by its civilization.

After the demonstration, it returned everyone to the conference room, the black fungal blanket on the ground retreating like a tide back into the deep abyss, and the Dragon Person reverted to its original sharp-headed humanoid form.

"I established this fungal research facility to emulate that scientist back then."

"Leave warnings for future generations, hoping you won't commit the grave errors we did."

"The mission we left unfinished is now officially passed to you."

The Dragon Person smiled at the crowd.

"We've navigated the pitfalls; don't fall into them yourselves."

"This is a piece of advice from 145,000 years ago."

Hearing this, Ansheng hesitated for a moment, tilting his head to ask the sighing Dragon Person:

"You say... there was a civilization before yours, your civilization learned from it, your technology should have been superior, right? How did you meet your end?"

"Surely it wasn't just due to Blue Star's changes?"

The Dragon Person looked at Ansheng, thought for a moment, and shrugged helplessly:

"In general, it's very complicated."

"But it can be summarized in two words."

"Our Dragon People collectively 'became impotent.'"

Ansheng: "......"

Goodness!

Such a reason for extinction is quite absurd.

You've already used quantum mechanics to interfere with the material world, and yet you ended up being unable to reproduce?
