Chapter 1 - 第一章:万物苏醒之日(Chapter One: The Day All Things Awakened)

七百多年前,苍澜星上的所有生物突然开始进化.

人类觉醒了神秘的力量,身体各项机能也得到了全面提升;而其他动物们则在智力上发生了飞跃,同时也觉醒了神秘力量成为了妖兽.

因此那股出现在苍澜星上的神秘力量,被人类命名为源力.

而人类中觉醒神秘力量的人被称为源能者.

在那个时代,妖兽的整体实力远胜于人类.

妖兽凭借着本能和强悍的肉身吸收大量神秘力量强化自身,而人类需依靠外物慢慢吸收神秘力量强化自身.

人类虽已觉醒神秘力量,却仍处于懵懂阶段,难以发挥出真正的威力,唯有通过不断学习与经验积累,方能逐步掌握.

妖兽天性残暴,适应力极强,加之自幼生存于弱肉强食的环境中,使它们在进化之后迅速掌握了神秘力量的应用.

同时,它们在获得智慧的同时,也产生了对人类的深刻仇恨,认为人类窃取了原属于它们的生存空间与资源.

于是,一场接一场针对人类的攻势接连不断,妖兽意图以暴力夺回那被"掠夺"的东西.

哪怕是最弱的妖兽,其实力也是要高过寻常的虎,狮了.

面对这些妖兽,生活在城市中娇生巧养的人类根本不是对手.

一些有军队驻扎的城市还好,在军队及时出击的情况下,很快的就将冲入城市的那些妖兽击毙.

但那些没有军队驻扎的城市,等到军队赶来,再将那些妖兽灭杀,已经是伤亡惨重了.

在后来的灾后统计中,有的城市在这两次灾难过后,其城市的总人口直接锐减了一半,

而其中杀死人类最多的妖兽是老鼠.

老鼠这种动物本就无处不在,在所有的妖兽中,他们是第一时间进入人类的视野的,并且在进化成妖兽之后,老鼠的体型变得有小猫般大小.

锋利的牙齿轻易的就可以咬穿木板以及人类的骨骼,十只老鼠就可以在短短的几秒间将一个活人啃成骷髅.

再加上老鼠的爬行速度极快,只要是被它们发现的,几乎就没有从鼠口中逃生的.

哪怕是后来建立各大战线之后,也曾出现过鼠潮屠城的事情.

除此之外,还有那些家养的猫狗之类的.

那些在村子里的倒是没有多少弑主的,甚至在有妖兽想要攻击人类时,还会出来保护自己的主人.

但城市中那些养宠物狗,宠物猫的就惨了,大多数宠物狗和宠物猫在成为妖兽,获得了些许智慧之后,几乎是第一时间就朝着自己的饲主发起了攻击.

毕竟,嘎蛋之仇不共戴天!

以前还是普通宠物的时候,没多少智慧,可能喂几次宠物粮就和好了.

但在觉醒成为妖兽之后,智力也得到提升,想到那个阉了自己的饲主,自然是分外眼红.

本就有着较大的实力差距,再加上突然的袭击,很少能有饲主逃过一劫的.

而相比于这些饲主,受害更加惨烈的则是那些曾经动刀的宠物医生.

你能够想象吗?清晨刚刚打开大门,就看到宠物医院的外面站满了狼狗大小的猫猫狗狗.

目光凶恶的注视着你,然后一起向着你扑过来,最后被愤怒的猫猫狗狗撕成碎片.

在军队入驻将这些城市中的妖兽全部击毙之后,上面便宣布凡是人类居住的地方,都需要修建城墙,并且往高了修.

虽然有一些飞行极高的妖兽还是没有办法挡下,但已经大大降低了妖兽入城的数量,各地的伤亡也终于得到了控制.

当然,除此之外还有一件事就是发枪,同时各地的射击训练场也如雨后春笋般建立了起来.

没办法,面对着这些成为妖兽的动物,普通人想要拿个菜刀就上去拼根本不现实.

考虑到人民的安全问题,当时所有国家也只能是解除掉了禁枪政策,并且发放大量枪支.

但有一点规定就是,无论是枪支还是子弹,都是不可以私自买卖的.

无论是子弹用完了,还是枪支出了问题,都需要到官方指定的地方换取,绝对不能私下里自己交易.

同时每一把枪在领取时也是会录取编号以及持枪人的姓名的,若非本人前往换枪,是要被抓起来审查的.

但是灾难还并没有过去,随着时间的推移,动物们也还在不断进化,妖兽们也变得越来越强大.

到后来强大的妖兽甚至已经不再惧怕寻常枪支的威胁,虽然还不至于到子弹打不透的地步,但想造成致命伤却是很难了.

而随着妖兽的变强,坦克,炮弹,重武器装甲车也陆续发放到各个城市的驻守部队中.

但所有人都知道,这样下去不是办法,因为妖兽的进化并没有任何停止的征兆.

继续这样下去,总有一天寻常的炮弹也奈何不了他们,最后就只能上导弹了.

但是对付那些在野外的妖兽还好,若是妖兽距离城市太近,又或者已经冲进了城市里,总不能真的直接对着城市发射导弹吧.

那样的话妖兽是消灭掉了,但估计居住在城市里的居民也都变成灰了.

在妖兽接连不断的侵袭下,不断给予人类硕大的压力.

人类面对生存危机,陷入前所未有的混乱.

面对妖兽们不断的,人类被迫探索反制的途径.

在大量科研人员与源能者的努力下,最终开发出一套可行的源能者修练体系.

这套体系首次以文字形式系统整理,并被编纂成册,命名为:

"启元冥想法"

它详细记载了如何感应源气,引导其入体,转化为专属自身的"源力"的方法,并成为人类源能体系的起源基石.

自此之后,人类开始拥有与妖兽抗衡的能力,逐步建立起自己的源能文明.

"启元冥想法"发布后,由国家进行牵头,各国政府协同推动,以最短时间覆盖全球,成为人类接触源力的重要途径.

More than seven hundred years ago, all living things on the planet Canglan Star suddenly began to evolve.

Humans awakened mysterious powers, and their various physical functions were comprehensively enhanced; while other animals experienced a leap in intelligence and also awakened mysterious powers, becoming demon beasts.

Therefore, the mysterious power that appeared on Canglan Star was named Source Power by humans.

And those among humans who awakened the mysterious power were called Source Power Users.

In that era, the overall strength of demon beasts far surpassed that of humans.

Demon beasts relied on instinct and powerful bodies to absorb large amounts of mysterious power to strengthen themselves, while humans needed to rely on external objects to slowly absorb mysterious power to strengthen themselves.

Although humans had awakened mysterious powers, they were still in a state of ignorance, unable to exert their true power. Only through continuous learning and accumulation of experience could they gradually master it.

Demon beasts were inherently violent and extremely adaptable. Coupled with their survival in a law of the jungle environment from a young age, they quickly mastered the application of mysterious power after evolution.

At the same time, as they gained wisdom, they also developed a deep hatred for humans, believing that humans had stolen their original living space and resources.

Thus, one attack after another against humans continued, as demon beasts attempted to violently reclaim what had been "plundered."

Even the weakest demon beast was stronger than ordinary tigers and lions.

Faced with these demon beasts, humans living in cities, pampered and well-fed, were no match at all.

Some cities with military garrisons were better off. With the timely intervention of the army, they quickly killed the demon beasts that rushed into the cities.

But those cities without military garrisons suffered heavy casualties by the time the army arrived and killed the demon beasts.

In the subsequent post-disaster statistics, some cities saw their total population directly reduced by half after these two disasters.

And the demon beasts that killed the most humans were rats.

Rats are ubiquitous animals. Among all the demon beasts, they were the first to enter the human field of vision, and after evolving into demon beasts, the size of the rats became like that of a small cat.

Sharp teeth could easily bite through wooden boards and human bones. Ten rats could gnaw a living person into a skeleton in just a few seconds.

In addition, the rats' crawling speed was extremely fast. As long as they were discovered by them, almost no one could escape from the rats' mouths.

Even after the establishment of major battle lines, there were still incidents of rat tides slaughtering cities.

In addition to these, there were also those domestic cats and dogs.

Those in the villages did not kill their masters much. Some would even come out to protect their masters when demon beasts tried to attack humans.

But those who kept pet dogs and pet cats in the city were miserable. Most pet dogs and pet cats, after becoming demon beasts and gaining some wisdom, launched attacks on their owners almost immediately.

After all, the grudge of castration is irreconcilable!

When they were ordinary pets, they didn't have much wisdom, and they might be reconciled after feeding them pet food a few times.

But after awakening and becoming demon beasts, their intelligence also improved. Thinking of the owner who castrated them, they were naturally extremely jealous.

There was already a large gap in strength, coupled with the sudden attack, few owners could escape.

Compared to these owners, the pet doctors who had performed surgery on them suffered even more.

Can you imagine? Just opening the door in the early morning, you see the outside of the pet hospital is full of wolf-sized cats and dogs.

They stared at you fiercely, and then rushed towards you together, and finally were torn into pieces by the angry cats and dogs.

After the army moved in and killed all the demon beasts in these cities, the higher-ups announced that city walls needed to be built in all places where humans lived, and they needed to be built high.

Although some demon beasts that flew extremely high still could not be stopped, it greatly reduced the number of demon beasts entering the city, and casualties in various places were finally brought under control.

Of course, in addition to this, there was also the matter of issuing guns, and shooting ranges were also established everywhere like mushrooms after rain.

There was no way, facing these animals that had become demon beasts, it was simply unrealistic for ordinary people to go up and fight with a kitchen knife.

Considering the safety of the people, all countries at that time could only lift the gun ban policy and issue a large number of guns.

But one thing was stipulated, that neither guns nor bullets could be bought or sold privately.

Whether the bullets ran out or the guns had problems, they needed to be exchanged at officially designated places, and they could never be traded privately.

At the same time, each gun would be recorded with a serial number and the name of the gun holder when it was received. If it was not the person himself who went to exchange the gun, he would be arrested for review.

But the disaster was not over yet. As time went by, the animals were still evolving, and the demon beasts were becoming more and more powerful.

Later, powerful demon beasts were no longer afraid of the threat of ordinary guns. Although it was not to the point where bullets could not penetrate them, it was difficult to cause fatal injuries.

As the demon beasts became stronger, tanks, artillery shells, and heavy weapon armored vehicles were also distributed to the garrison troops in various cities.

But everyone knew that this was not a solution, because the evolution of the demon beasts showed no signs of stopping.

If this continued, one day ordinary shells would not be able to do anything to them, and in the end, they could only use missiles.

But it was okay to deal with those demon beasts in the wild. If the demon beasts were too close to the city, or had already rushed into the city, they couldn't really launch missiles directly at the city.

In that case, the demon beasts would be eliminated, but it is estimated that the residents living in the city would also be turned to ashes.

Under the continuous invasion of demon beasts, humans were given enormous pressure.

Faced with the crisis of survival, humans fell into unprecedented chaos.

Faced with the constant attacks of demon beasts, humans were forced to explore ways to counter them.

With the efforts of a large number of scientific researchers and Source Power Users, a feasible cultivation system for Source Power Users was finally developed.

This system was systematically organized in written form for the first time and compiled into a book, named:

"Primordial Enlightenment Meditation"

It details how to sense Source Qi, guide it into the body, and transform it into one's own exclusive "Source Power," and became the origin cornerstone of the human Source Power system.

Since then, humans began to have the ability to contend with demon beasts and gradually established their own Source Power civilization.

After the release of "Primordial Enlightenment Meditation", the state took the lead, and governments of various countries coordinated to promote it, covering the globe in the shortest possible time, becoming an important way for humans to come into contact with Source Power.
