Chapter 1262: Become the God of Creation From Today
Then, Alora began to create life.

"Teacher, can I really create life? This feeling is both sacred and strange."
Alora stood in the void, facing the vast universe, and asked Chang Wei about her doubts.
"Alora, there is no need to think too complicated. As the god of creation, you have almost omniscience and omnipotence. The birth of life, although complicated, is ultimately the result of the interweaving of cosmic laws and natural laws. You only need to follow the guidance of your heart and integrate your will into this universe, and life will naturally come into being."
The birth of life is not accidental, but the result of cosmic laws and natural selection.
So, she first simulated the environment of the primitive earth, a planet considered to be the cradle of life, and because it has a series of complex and subtle conditions required for the birth of life.
She waved her hands, and a blue ocean suddenly emerged in the universe, which was the source of life.
Then, she introduced air, which contained nitrogen, oxygen, and trace amounts of carbon dioxide and other gases, which provided the necessary conditions for life's breathing and photosynthesis.
Suitable temperature and light also followed, and together they formed a warm and bright world, paving the way for the birth of life.
While creating these basic conditions, Alora also carefully designed a series of complex chemical reactions.
The origin of life is inseparable from these seemingly simple but profound chemical processes.
She used her divine power to catalyze the combination of hydrogen ions and oxygen ions in water, a process that usually takes millions of years or even longer to occur in nature.
But under Alora's intervention, these reactions proceeded rapidly, generating the earliest organic matter - amino acids and nucleotides.
Under suitable conditions, such as suitable temperature, pressure and light, these organic substances gradually gathered and formed more complex molecular structures, such as proteins and nucleic acids.
Over time, these organic substances gradually accumulated in the ocean, forming the so-called "primordial soup". In this soup, single-celled organisms were born quietly.
They have various shapes, some are spherical, some are rod-shaped, and some are spiral-shaped.
These organisms gradually evolved into more complex cell structures, such as mitochondria and chloroplasts, by swallowing the surrounding organic matter and constantly replicating their own genetic information.
Mitochondria are the "power plants" of cells, providing energy for cells; while chloroplasts are the "photosynthesis workshops" in plant cells, which can synthesize organic matter using sunlight, water and carbon dioxide.
Driven by Alora's invisible but powerful will, these cells, like dust particles endowed with life, began a magnificent gathering journey.
They are not just simple stacking, but gradually weaving the wonderful structure of multicellular organisms in a subtle and complex interaction and dependence.
These early multicellular organisms have different shapes, some are like tiny bubbles floating in the water, and some are like mollusks crawling slowly on the seabed. They explore this newly born world in their own unique ways.
As time goes by, the diversity of life begins to explode at an astonishing speed. From the initial single-cell algae, those tiny life forms that can use photosynthesis to convert sunlight into energy, to the fish that gradually developed complex structures, they swam freely in the ocean, breathing with gills and paddling with fins, showing the perfect adaptation of life to the aquatic environment.
At the same time, traces of reptiles also quietly appeared on land. They walked out of the wet mud with heavy shells and sharp claws, heading towards a wider world.
In the sky, birds, with their light wings and sharp eyes, became the overlords of the sky. They soared in the air, interpreting their endless yearning for freedom with songs and dances.
Alora, the invisible creator, her creativity seems to have no boundaries.
Under her conception, every life form is endowed with unique survival strategies and survival wisdom.
For example, fish have developed a variety of respiratory systems and swimming skills to adapt to water pressure and temperature at different depths; reptiles have evolved hard skin and drought-resistant physiological mechanisms to adapt to arid environments; birds have evolved complex social structures and migratory habits to ensure the reproduction and survival of populations.
However, the evolutionary path of life is not always full of sunshine and warmth.
In the long geological history, the earth has experienced countless drastic environmental changes, from the severe cold of the ice age to the heat of volcanic eruptions, from the rise and fall of sea levels to the drift of continental plates. Every drastic change in the environment means a test of life.
Countless life forms have become extinct because they cannot adapt to these sudden changes. Their stories are forever buried in fossils and become a witness to the history of the earth.
But it is in such challenges and competitions that more life forms have shown amazing adaptability and evolutionary potential. They survive in adversity, constantly break through their own limits, and evolve more complex and powerful survival strategies.
A healthy ecosystem must be based on the interdependence and constraints between various life forms.
The relationship between predators and prey is one of the most intuitive and complex dynamic balances in an ecosystem.
Alora once thought that the existence of predators was the most cruel phenomenon in nature. They chased and hunted ruthlessly, seemingly only to meet their own survival needs.
However, as she gained a deeper understanding of the ecosystem, she gradually realized that the role of predators was far more than that. They were not only the harvesters of life, but also the catalysts of evolution.
Take the lions and antelopes on the African savannah as an example. As the top predator, the existence of lions poses a continuous survival pressure on the antelopes.
In order to avoid the pursuit of lions, antelopes have to develop amazing running speeds and keen hearing and vision. These evolutionary advantages enable them to deal with other threats with ease.
The hunting skills of lions have also been improved in constant challenges. They have learned to lurk more secretly, jump more accurately, and the importance of teamwork.
This mutual "arms race" not only improves the survival ability of both parties, but also promotes the diversity and complexity of the entire ecosystem.
Alora discovered that this relationship between predators and prey is actually a subtle symbiosis.
The existence of predators provides the prey with the motivation to evolve and also maintains the balance of the ecosystem.
