In just ten years, nearly 70% of the more than 30 billion people in Garden of Eden have embarked on the path of evolution.
Norton did not set any so-called evolutionary direction for this evolution; he only designed the fundamental logic of evolution: the more sincerely one respects and admires Norton, the higher the evolutionary intensity will be, and the more the evolutionary direction will conform to the desires of the evolver.
Therefore, this evolution can be described as chaotic, going in all directions.
For example, someone with a violent personality who likes to bully the weak will evolve into a strongman with prominent muscles. On the other hand, someone with a gentle personality who prefers a peaceful life will evolve in a more harmonious way, such as an Elf with strong Magic Power but fragile flesh.
Everyone has a different personality and different inner thoughts, so the direction of evolution is incredibly diverse. Some people even evolve into green goblins that only know how to reproduce, just like those depicted in movies and TV shows. Others have abnormal flesh and blood development, bone degeneration, and split eyeballs, evolving into a strange octopus-like figure resembling Cthulhu, whose body is composed of deformed flesh and blood and is covered with eyeballs.
The direction, intensity, and even appearance of evolution vary greatly, which undoubtedly brings great difficulties to the statistics of the Human Federation.
Based on the classification of strength, the Human Federation had to use Angel as a basis to determine the strength levels.
Taking the Twelve-Winged Angel as the highest Sixth Stage) as an example, the Ten-Winged Angel is the Fourth Stage Fifth Stage, the Eight-Winged Angel Six-Winged Angel Third Stage Second Stage, and the Four-Winged Angel is the second rank. As for Angel who have just grown two pairs of wings, because their strength is too low, they can only be considered as First Stage.
However, this division can only be a temporary measure.
Because their strength levels differ greatly, some races can directly attack the soul, regardless of how powerful your race is. Some mutants attack the mind directly; no matter if you possess infinite Magic Power or other skills, just one look at them will cause your mind to go haywire. This kind of unconnected and incompatible power system is truly extremely difficult to judge.
In reality, a powerful Sixth Stage Elf, capable of destroying a city, might be caught off guard and have its soul completely burned by the soul-consuming flames of a First Stage Angel in a single encounter. However, if that powerful Elf were to unleash its Magic Power, it could suppress and beat dozens or even hundreds of Sixth Stage Angel, or even all those within its Magic Power range, with its wide-area AOE damage.
The incompatibility and lack of interference between these power systems are the reasons why they are difficult to divide and control.
Regardless of the circumstances, this state of universal evolution and comprehensive upgrade of the power system already indicates that humanity has finally embarked on the path of life evolution!
With the birth of extraordinary power, the Pale God Norton became the sole faith upon which the Garden of Eden depended for its survival.
He finally fulfilled all his dreams, becoming an Garden of Eden, an indelible symbol!
But the changes in Garden of Eden were not limited to that.
Norton returns, and the entire Garden of Eden evolves.
Since the emergence of superhumans, humanity's technological level, which had stagnated for thousands of years, has been rapidly advancing at an unprecedented pace.
For ordinary people, their own mutations are uncontrollable, so they can only believe in the Pale God Norton in order to obtain a better direction for evolution.
However, for Norton himself, this mutation is entirely controllable.
He can make anyone evolve into whatever he wants them to become.
Therefore, he still treated the more pragmatic high-ranking people with considerable favor.
For example, each year several evolutionary slots are allocated for different planning directions, as well as one evolutionary race for a specific planning direction.
In this way, the high-ranking Human Federation can freely evolve into the highest-level military force of a race, thereby consolidating their own class and preventing them from being easily overthrown by others due to issues with individual power.
This behavior is extremely anti-equal.
Norton's methods are quite different from the social order he has advocated for over a thousand years.
However, this is a necessary measure now!
Now that the Human Federation has achieved full support for its citizens, social order should be established!
The number of people at the top can only be increased, not decreased. Even if in the end they are all laid-off workers under the shadow of machine manufacturing, it is far better than letting these people compete with each other and fight to the death.
After all, even if they evolve further, under Norton's pressure, they can only maintain a permanent peace.
However, the struggles arising from human selfishness can indeed lead to numerous unstable problems.
In any case, the so-called class system below Norton is nothing but empty titles!
As for an evolutionary race with a planned direction, that's linked to the progress of human technology.
Human technology has been limited by materials science, and has not seen large-scale development for thousands of years.
In order to promote human development and give the human race something to do, so that they don't commit mass suicide because of immortality or a lack of goals, or oppose him, Norton, or spend their time worshipping ghosts and gods, he naturally wants to give all mankind a common goal to strive for.
Therefore, human technology needs to develop, but it cannot develop to an extremely high level in an instant.
Therefore, the planned direction of racial evolution is the limitation on the path of accelerated human technological development.
They can request Norton to designate the emergence of a race that can produce new materials that are beneficial to technological development.
However, the fact that only one such phenomenon can occur each year greatly limits the speed of human technological development, preventing it from developing too rapidly and causing people's ambitions to swell or even become lost in the pursuit of fame.
Norton, oh Norton.
He truly calculated everything about people's hearts.
The Human Federation, and indeed the entire Garden of Eden, will all revolve around Norton since Norton return.
