Layers.
Yes.
The answer was that simple.
All it needed was layers!
But layers alone weren't enough.
The origin of life.
Or rather, the birth of life.
Wasn't something mere layers could encompass.
Yet layers were essential.
Put that way, plenty of people probably wouldn't understand.
Well, if they understood, wouldn't they have Jiang Yao's IQ?
They'd have to be an Emanator at the very least, right?
So.
Let's use a simple example.
Take our Monkey God game-launch!
Back in the early versions, before our white-stockinged Diviner became playable, keeping everyone alive with Luocha alone was tough.
But could you say Luocha couldn't keep people alive?
No.
You couldn't do without Luocha!
The same principle applied here.
Layers weren't enough to represent the origin of life.
But doing without layers was absolutely out of the question.
After all, the ingredients themselves determined the limits and possibilities.
Jiang Yao had put more thought into preparing the True Sting Pupa for Ruan Mei.
He had to kill her in one hit!
Uh, or rather, nail it on the first try?
Or perhaps...
Win her over in an instant?
In any case.
The moment Ruan Mei, brimming with anticipation, placed the True Sting Pupa on her tongue.
Her surrender was inevitable.
This wasn't a joke.
It was a simple statement of fact.
Why weren't layers alone enough?
Simple.
Because the origin of life.
Was a miracle.
Even though.
The origin of life wasn't predetermined.
Instead, it emerged from the collisions of endless permutations and combinations.
As long as the pool was large enough and enough combinations were tried.
Life was bound to be born.
But.
Wasn't that a miracle in itself?
It took odds of one in untold billions upon billions.
For life to come into being.
How could that not be called
