?Chapter 1060: The 331st Hypothesis of “False” nes


    The third time he entered the Land of the Crownless, Nnd Lee felt at ease, as if he were returning home.


    The omnipresent purple fog swirled around him, enveloping his consciousness and brushing lightly against his soul, conveying the silky sensation of a veil.


    Not sure if it was an illusion, Nnd noticed that the sensory experience in the Land of the Crownless felt much more refined than his previous two visits.


    The purple mist churned and coalesced into a humanoid form, and the Assassin Angel appeared before Nnd as a Mist Man.


    Nnd Lee had used “Divine power runes” to destroy most of the Essence of the Bloodbinder’s Corpse, leaving only a very, very small piece for Nabby.


    The Assassin Angel deemed this action “not a failure.” <div>


    ...


    Does that mean the task was sessful?


    Nnd held his breath and focused, patiently waiting for the Assassin Angel to speak.


    After about half a minute, the Assassin Angel suddenly asked Nnd a question:


    “What is a deity?”


    Nndbined the knowledge he had learned from Omar Goddard and tentatively replied:


    “The controller of a sub-ne that is recognized by the Supreme Star Pce is known as a deity.”


    The Mist Man formed by the Assassin Angel nodded almost imperceptibly:


    “A superficial but correct narrow definition.”


    The Assassin Angel asked another question:


    “Which came first, the sub-ne or the Supreme Star Pce?”


    This… this is worth asking? Nnd thought for a moment and said:


    “It should be the sub-ne that came first. After the Extraordinary took control of the sub-ne, differences emerged within the group. Those willing to join the Supreme Star Pce became deities. Those unwilling were suppressed by the Star Pce within the sub-ne.”


    The Assassin Angel made noment on Nnd’s answer, but simply asked:


    “The origin of the sub-ne?”


    Nnd figured the question was a test of whether he remembered the necessary key points of knowledge.


    He steadied his mind and said:


    “Sub-nes are created by powerful Extraordinary beings. Dusk Giants see sub-nes as their homesteads, Wizards treat them as their territories. Therefore, the Extraordinary are not only the pioneers of the sub-nes but also their architects.”


    Nnd thought his answer was spot-on, but the Assassin Angel shook its head indifferently:


    “No,pletely wrong.”


    Nnd’s brows furrowed, confused.


    The Assassin Angel stated calmly:


    “Sub-nes existed first, and then came the Extraordinary. The Extraordinary are the puppets, the servants of the sub-nes.”


    The sub-nes controlled the Extraordinary?


    Nnd’s eyebrows knitted together tightly.


    What did that mean?


    The Assassin Angel raised its arm made of purple mist and cast ayer of haze toward Nnd.


    The fog enveloped Nnd and transformed into a kaleidoscopic dynamic scene before his eyes.


    The scene depicted a man-made Ecosystem Warehouse.


    The Ecosystem Warehouse, shaped like a cylinder, stood erect on a metal base with hard to identify material.


    The inside and outside of the warehouse were separated by a thickyer of Transparent ss, preventing any cirction of air and water.


    The warehouse hosted a miniature ecosystem within,plete with awn, rockery, little stream, woods, and a light source.


    There were grass, trees, stones, and water, but no animals.


    At that moment, a Mechanical Arm suspended from the Ceiling of the warehouse ced a few Rice-sized bug eggs onto the grass.


    From the moment the eggs appeared, the speed of the scene on the disy dramatically elerated, ying back at a rate of at least a thousandfold.


    Unknown whitervae emerged from the eggs, and after developing and growing, they turned into beings with wings, resembling bees.


    These winged insects collected various natural materials within the warehouse and built their “homes” on a small tree.


    That was a Beehive wedged between the branches.


    The scene paused at that moment, focusing on the bees entering and exiting the hive.


    The Assassin Angel asked:


    “What do you think these animals are?”


    Nnd said:


    “Bees.”


    “No, they are a man-made sub-speciesbining the genes of mantises and bees.” The Assassin Angel zoomed in on the disy, showing the “bees” with mandibles identical to those of mantises.


    Nnd raised his eyebrows, finally noticing that these creatures only somewhat resembled bees in pattern and wing shape, with the rest of their parts simr to ordinary mantises.


    “How does a creature created by a Gene Editor know what kind of ‘homestead’ it wants to build?” asked the Assassin Angel.


    Nnd pondered for a moment and replied:


    “It must be an instinct encoded into their genes.”


    The Assassin Angel continued:


    “Who entered the instinct to build a specific ‘homestead’ into the animal’s genes?”


    This question was akin to asking about “the origin of life.”


    Nnd touched his head, recalling the many discussions he had seen before crossing over.


    Some perspectives emerged from a purely materialistic angle and delved into the molecr level.


    Others were more ssical, attributing the origin of genes to so-called Deities, and this connected with many ancient doctrines.


    Considering that the Assassin Angel was discussing topics rted to “Extraordinary” and “Deities,” Nnd deliberated and finally provided an answer:


    “Um… could it be that the legendary Creator God wove the genes of animals? Is it He who determined each animal’s instinctive behaviors and ultimate destiny?”


    The Assassin Angel nodded, but then shook its head:


    “Conservatively correct, but notprehensive enough.”


    With a wave of its arm, the Assassin Angel dispersed the scene in front of it and instead constructed a massive andplex 3D model.


    Nnd’s pupils slightly dted, and his breath caught.
