Chapter 0001: Sandbox Concept

He bought a high-speed train ticket, dragging his suitcase, and made his way back to his hometown in the countryside of Dongcheng.

No need, I choose to be discharged

This is not a massive spherical planet, but rather a one-hundred-acre square sand table. The structure of this land is reminiscent of the topographical features found in ancient myths

The evolution and process of living organisms

Xu Zhi reached out his hand

Cancer, which is currently incurable, may perhaps be his last hope for survival

He does not have a planet, only an orchard of over 100 acres to create his sandbox world

rustling ... ...

The evolution of organisms does not imply that the larger they are, the more powerful they become; rather, true strength lies in their own capabilities.

The orchard is currently unattended, and the hired workers have all left. The fruit trees have become desolate, the trees have long been cut down, and only weeds remain on the ground

The heavens are round and the earth is square

Finally, on the fifth day, the entire central ocean he designed began to evolve with some plankton emerging from single-celled organisms, and the water became visibly murky.

The ability of the insectoid race is to shorten their lifespan in a brief period, accelerating the cellular division rate of their species, allowing them to be born, bloom, grow, wither, and die in an instant, much like the petals of a flower

In the insect nest, the previous generation of the queen left behind a message filled with regret

The third day

In the mountainous hometown that I have not returned to for a year, there is a garden courtyard with an independent orchard at home

We went astray from the very beginning, evolving into something ever larger is a misguided path. The smaller the body, the more it possesses the foundation for a qualitative change in energy... We have lost, regardless of who becomes the next generation of the hive queen, strike at the realm of immortality once more for me!

However, six months ago, the market price of lychees was too low, resulting in a significant amount being spoiled in storage. Additionally, I was deceived by someone who claimed to have channels to resolve the unsold inventory. In the end, I spent money seeking help and was defrauded of a substantial amount, leading to losses of nearly one million in total, leaving me with nothing. My parents were also so upset six months ago that they collapsed and have not been able to recover since.

Accelerated by ten thousand times, a single day of evolution for these unicellular organisms is equivalent to a lengthy ten thousand years... However, whether new species can emerge and replicate the Cambrian explosion of Earth in a small courtyard sandbox remains uncertain

Ultimately, they broke through a certain dimension and entered a higher realm of the astonishing and fantastical world, the Realm of Eternal Life, only to be instantly defeated, losing as if it were a matter of course

Cell division accelerated: ten thousand times

In the early stages of cancer, actively cooperating with treatment offers a viable possibility of cure; however, once it progresses to the mid-stage, the survival rate becomes extremely low

"So dark, what kind of insect is this?"

Ultra-fast cell division

However, a tricky problem has arisen

It feels like a sandbox game—my world, and if I could create a world, evolve a civilization, and countless races, perhaps I could find a solution to my cancer within this civilized world

He had another group of workers assist in clearing the weeds and wild trees in the orchard. After transforming it into a flat expanse of soil, he picked up a hoe, resembling a farmer digging holes, and casually shaped miniature soil mountains, freshwater rivers, caves, and various desolate sand table terrains.

Unlocking the door, a cloud of dust rushed in

Who? It seems that something happened in the yard. What is that sound? He stood up and walked into the empty orchard courtyard, where he saw a black beetle the size of a bowl among a pile of weeds

In an instant, his mind was drawn into the dark shell of the insect, leading him into a vast history of the species

As long as the mother nest produces cells—spores, and they are released onto a desolate planet, initiating "ultra-fast cell division," within a few years, those cells will proliferate wildly, evolving into entirely new species, becoming one of the forces of the mother nest

The evolution has begun

On the first day of spore release, the central ocean, clear and bottomless, remained unchanged, with no alterations whatsoever

The prolonged suffering from illness and the torment of chemotherapy have left Xu Zhi feeling physically and mentally exhausted, even leading her to question the purpose of her mundane life. Now, on the brink of death, she suddenly finds herself curious about something.

Xu Zhi became excited: Is this perhaps a fortuitous encounter

The familiar rural life from childhood came into view as he placed his luggage in the room, intending to spend his final years in his homeland, returning to rural living

In the orchard, the parents had originally built a small fish pond. After some thought, he spent a considerable amount of money to hire several workers to assist in further expanding the pond, digging and irrigating, and establishing an artificial shallow water pool, into which he poured purchased salt, creating a marine environment according to the salinity ratio.

The fourth day

I must quickly build a sandbox and go buy tools for farming Xu Zhi rummaged through the dusty corner of the family farm and found a tricycle, panting like a bald old man, his body hollowed out by chemotherapy, struggling to ride towards the town outside

Their family was originally considered to have a mine in the village, and they have contracted over 100 acres behind their yard for planting fruit trees

There is no longer a need for treatment

Upon reaching this point, Xu Zhixin's thoughts became unsettled

Xu Zhi's physical condition has significantly declined. After a difficult week of preparation, he finally completed the vast sand table covering an area of one hundred acres in the orchard

Brush

He murmured to himself

In the early stages of gastric cancer, there is indeed a chance for a cure. However, it has now progressed to the mid-stage of gastric cancer, and the possibility of a cure has decreased. Nevertheless, if you continue with active treatment, there is still a possibility...

He suddenly heard a strange sound

According to the counting unit of the Zerg, one fold is equivalent to one year

Microorganisms need not concern themselves, nor is it easy for them to do so; they will be consumed by the genes of the insectoid species and evolve into new terrestrial organisms.

Is it the land of myths

Xu Zhi's abilities are not lacking; he works at a large foreign enterprise. However, now, after four to five years, more than half of his savings of five to six hundred thousand yuan have been consumed. After being busy for several years, in the end, it still amounts to nothing.

The origin of species is the ocean, I must construct a vast ocean, seawater

After spending more than two hours, Xu Zhi stepped out of the hospital entrance. A period of chemotherapy had left his hair sparse and fallen out, his posture pale and hunched, and he was in an extremely morbid condition.

It is a long history of the rise of the Zerg, beginning with a green planet that corresponds to the Cambrian explosion of life on Earth, where an ancient insect species emerged. They developed their own intelligence, advanced technology, and their immense reproductive capacity and potential propelled them into the cosmos. When their technology reached its peak, the Zerg realized that they were living in a barren and inferior world

... ...

The next day, the entire sand table was also quiet.

Once again, the purchased high-temperature sprayer was taken out to scorch the entire sand table inch by inch, eliminating potential plants and animals to prevent existing terrestrial organisms from affecting the evolutionary process of the spores

In my memory, the Zerg hive is a fortress of war

This race has infinite possibilities

Then, having spent around 30,000 to 40,000 of his own savings, he brought back a bunch of agricultural tools and equipment, and returned to the courtyard, filled with joy as he began to set things up.

That morning, he had just taken control of the insect hive's secondary brain and began producing large quantities of initial evolutionary single-celled organisms belonging to the insect race: spores, which were injected into the sandbox he had shaped, in the central ocean

With this Zerg hive and war fortress, I can completely establish mountains, oceans, and rivers in this orchard, creating a super miniature sandbox where countless Zerg spores and single-celled organisms can evolve into numerous species

The previous generation of the Zerg Queen released spores on desolate planets, giving rise to countless races and constructing various worlds. However, I do not possess a planet, yet I can utilize this ability to create a small-scale evolution sandbox in my family's orchard to play with

Soon, Xu Zhi discovered that he had taken control of this insect nest. From the memories of the insect race he obtained, this highly aggressive great race possessed only one racial ability.

He issued instructions to the mother nest
