The Embryonic Form of the Creator Gods' Birth, Lost Paradise

Li Qing could currently roughly categorize his civilization.

1. Primary [Cellular Level] Evolution Pool: * Location: Test tube in his neck. * Scope: Allows the evolution of the most primitive single-celled life. * Benchmark: Earth's Archean Eon, the primary stage of the appearance of primitive life and biological evolution.

2. Secondary [Insect Level] Evolution Pool: * Location: The laboratory before his eyes. * Scope: Allows the evolution of the most primitive small insects, plants, and primitive fish. * Benchmark: Earth's Phanerozoic Eon, even precise to the Cambrian explosion, where biological species increased dramatically, and life forms of all kinds of insect sizes emerged.

And the third-level evolution pool?

Correspondingly, it's for giant, complex life above insects.

In Li Qing's eyes, it can be benchmarked against Earth's Triassic period hundreds of millions of years ago, where life forms were the size of small dogs and cats.

This third-level biological evolution sandbox requires Li Qing to not only have money but also to establish a faction to provide covert protection. The Umbrella Medical Company would build a large laboratory for him and construct a "large-scale otherworldly space" to accommodate their civilization's evolution.

As for the fourth-level evolution pool.

It's in Li Qing's distant plans, requiring an extremely vast land area, benchmarking against the Jurassic period.

Life would evolve into colossal Dragons and Giant Gods like Li Qing, trampling mountains and lands, tearing apart rivers and valleys!

The most terrifying and colossal era of the true Gods would emerge.

"Currently, this secondary biological pool, the microscopic civilization in the laboratory, is already the limit of my control."

Li Qing stood outside the laboratory, looking through the glass window at the tiny civilization developing within.

"However, the size limitation might not be due to technological constraints."

"Without expanding their size, refining and perfecting their life structure might also be a powerful form of life."

Li Qing gazed at the glass window, lost in thought.

Beneath the World Tree, The entire civilization, driven by both the Church and the Monarch, continued to develop.

They began to compile life and explore their own consciousness.

The Life Engineers, in order to build brains for themselves to house their souls, completely split into two factions due to differing ideologies.

The "Holy Reason Sect" believed that the brain should be shaped like a Holy Dragon, connecting the single-celled brains of countless citizens into a network neuron brain, which they called "Swarm Consciousness."

The "Human Reason Society" believed that brains should be conventional, and the brain shapes of ordinary natural life forms, like various beetles, were logical. Building a normal brain to house consciousness would be sufficient.

A war of ideologies erupted.

In the circular, massive city, a beautiful, tall, ten-centimeter-tall Elf, the size of a figurine, with long hair cascading over her shoulders, stood tall.

This was a giant experimental creature belonging to the Church. If this ten-centimeter-tall creature was truly successful, then Giant Gods in human proportions would also reappear successfully.

"We've created the Elf's brain!" someone exclaimed, looking up at the giant woman.

"We finally know why God asked us to build this Giant God blueprint; it's because he's hinting that it's most convenient to build the brain structure within this Elf!"

The leader of the Human Reason Society shouted, gazing fanatically at the giant Elf statue.

If Li Qing heard this, he would have slapped them to death.

I asked you to build the giant Elf blueprint, not to research how to add a brain inside it.

Even slacking off is so high-sounding. Secretly diverting some energy to research the brain within, no wonder the progress is so slow.

But nearby.

The leader of the Holy Reason Sect approached, looked at the giant Elf, and sneered:

"Do you think the brain of this bloated monstrosity can extend your lives?"

"If we made every mortal's brain that large, could the world accommodate it? Would resources be sufficient?"

Everyone fell silent; this was obvious.

If billions of mortals on the ground were like this ten-centimeter giant with a one-centimeter brain, the entire world wouldn't be enough to fill with brains.

"This can be feasible!"

The leader of the Human Reason Society said angrily, "We can continue to research and miniaturize the brain."

After all, the first computer in human history was as large as a house, but now, with the improvement and optimization of the times, a mobile phone possesses terrifying computational power.

Their initial brains were large, but in the future, they could be researched to be the size of a normal ant's brain, or even smaller.

"But do we have time?" the leader of the Holy Reason Sect smiled. "I admit, your path has infinite potential in the future, but we no longer have time."

"What do you mean, not enough time?" the leader of the Human Reason Society asked.

"Do you remember our soul pain experiment?"

The leader of the Holy Reason Sect said, "Through days of research and clandestine human experiments, causing brain death in one civilian after another, we have determined the lifespan of consciousness."

"Only two months."

"Yes, without a brain, like a ghost possessing a single cell. Even if the body is modified for immortality, our consciousness will dissipate in two months."

"And now, we have already lived for over a month through repeated great extinctions. None of us have less than a month left to live."

The members of the Human Reason Society fell into complete silence.

If this were true, then death was imminent, and they truly had no time to research natural, normal brains.

They had to be like the Holy Dragons.

Take a shortcut, become an integrated consciousness brain, and only then could they survive.

"In a month, our entire civilization will die. If this gets out, all our citizens will panic, go insane, and riot, right? We're all going to die!"

The leader of the Holy Reason Sect said, "I hope everyone keeps today's events a secret! At the same time, rather than letting everyone die, it's better for us to sacrifice the majority, consume their brains, and let a small portion of us survive."

The people on the other side were somewhat silent. Under the fear of death, the leader of the Human Reason Society directly asked, "How many do we need to kill?"

"A minimum of twenty thousand per person, a 99% great extinction."

The other party replied, "We have developed a method to lead the 'integrated consciousness brain.' As long as their consciousness is weak and near death, we can devour and merge with them.

And we discovered that when we transform into a composite, multi-dimensional brain structure like the Holy Dragons, our computing power will significantly increase.

You all know what this means for the engineers' research, right?

We will become the true Creator Saints!

I call this power, transforming individual wisdom cells into collective wisdom cells, 'igniting the Holy Fire and condensing the Saint Position.'"

Originally, they wanted to call it the God Position, Creator Gods.

But fearing divine punishment, they called it the Saint Position, a rank equivalent to the Holy Dragons.

"Specifically?"

The leader of the Human Reason Society asked, "We can't slaughter the common people. If we add the emotion of feeling pain to their brains, then torture them until their consciousness decays, and then merge their brains, the gods might punish us."

The leader of the Holy Reason Sect, however, said, "We have already found a way. It's not by adding painful neurons. I observed that when those giant shelled beasts feed, they secrete emotions of excitement and happiness.

As engineers, we are responsible for evolving the bodies of the common people. We will add the neurons and emotions of gluttony to their bodies, so eating will feel like enjoyment.

The people on the ground, immersed in the pleasure of gluttony, will experience intense fluctuations in their consciousness, prolonged excitement, and their possessing spirits will age rapidly and die on their own."

The principle behind this is simple.

A lone wandering spirit, with a calm consciousness, can live for a long time. If this lone wandering spirit experiences intense, fluctuating consciousness every day, it will naturally dissipate quickly.

"I see. Eating will trigger pleasure in the body?"

The leader of the Human Reason Society was somewhat surprised and said, "I think there might be other emotions. Let's search for them. Perhaps there are six or seven kinds. Let's add them all to their body structures, let them be immersed in paradise, and rapidly consume their consciousness with excitement."

"Yes, induce hundreds of billions of people on the ground to steal the forbidden fruit, immerse themselves in this sensual paradise, and our top engineers will reach the summit in the Lost Paradise. Twenty thousand new humans will ignite the Holy Fire and achieve the Saint Position."

"They are not truly dying either. The civilization has not lost a single wisdom cell. Every citizen who perishes will become a part of our brain's consciousness, helping us become Perfect Humans!"

They finally reached a Perfect Human Plan to survive.

The conversation at this moment is almost absent from later records, as it is the largest and most horrifying mystery in history. Anyone who knows this history is doomed.

This is the true origin of the Creator Gods and the Seven Deadly Sins in history.

They were not born gods. They were once the smartest ordinary people. They ignited the Holy Fire in paradise, slaughtered all the mediocre mortals on the earth, and used them to perfect their integrated consciousness brains, ultimately completing the transformation from human to god, taking the first step towards eternity.

When the gods appeared, the Seven Deadly Sins also appeared together.
