Jiang Yang could not make out the various tiers beyond the Evolution Tree's results, but at this moment, he could see its branches.
The Evolution Tree's branches varied in length. Not every branch could reach the stage of comprehending laws; many simply broke off halfway, while others ended at Level Six.
"Were these evolutionary paths innately present in the Chaos Universe?"
Jiang Yang was deeply shaken. There were simply too many paths of evolution. No matter which direction one took, one could elevate one's life level, but in the end, all paths led to comprehending laws.
That was not the case. The Chaos Universe was inherently unequal. Not every species was born with an evolutionary path. Some innate species were born as higher lifeforms, while some species could only spend their entire lives struggling to survive.
The first true evolutionary path in the Chaos Universe had been forged by an insect. It continuously devoured others to raise its life level, eventually comprehended the Law of Devouring, ascended to godhood in one leap, and became the Chaos Universe's first acquired deity.
An insect?
Jiang Yang was particularly sensitive to those two words. The potential of the insect race was limitless.
"So you're saying these evolutionary paths were all forged later on? Then what level were those creatures that existed innately?" Even without the system answering, Jiang Yang could guess. After all, he had read countless webnovel classics and understood some of their settings.
So-called innate existences were living beings born at the beginning of the Chaos Universe, or nurtured by some place within it. They were naturally born and raised by heaven and earth.
Such beings were generally immortal, existing alongside heaven and earth. They were born as higher lifeforms and could roam freely through the Chaos Universe.
As for humans
