Thousands of worlds?
Xu Zhi was stunned.
What the hell is this?
Since when did my humble little evolutionary sandbox come with such a grand setting? And why was I the last to find out?
WTF!
"What the hell are they cooking up this time!? Can they stop messing around!?"
He shivered.
I'm not some omnipotent Creator!
I'm just a low-level wizard-slash-farmer hiding out in the countryside!
This might be the end of me!
This isn't funny anymore!
Panicking slightly, he clicked on the thread. The poster? None other than the infamous old-timer—Akinas Speedster.
Xu Zhi sipped his tea, eyes narrowed, and started reading carefully.
Time to spy on the enemy camp.
"Hey everyone, it's Akinas Speedster again!
Yup, I'm back!
With the third beta test just launched this morning, I thought it was the perfect time—while everyone's flooding the forum—to post my latest speculation about the game's background lore.
Spoiler alert: it's big. Really big."
Xu Zhi's expression darkened as he continued reading.
"Now, I have a great relationship with Mr. Future Skywhale, and after some serious talks with him, I've discovered some mind-blowing stuff.
First, let's start with the hottest topic: the new map—The Magic World.
Most of you probably know this already, but apparently... our original zone? It's just the tutorial village.
Yeah. We're still in the freakin' beginner's area."
Xu Zhi nearly spat out his tea.
"This game is insane!
The map is huge. And I mean huge.
The devs? Absolute gods. I can't even praise them enough!
In the Magic World, everyone has their own AI. They act with full autonomy. Even the animals follow behavioral logic!
It's like an actual otherworld.
I doubt even a thousand supercomputers could handle all the calculations.
The level of tech behind this is terrifying—far beyond anything from our current era.
I'm no expert, so I'll leave the technical speculation to the pros."
Xu Zhi: Pros? I'm the guy running this thing, and even I have no idea how it works at that level!
"Second—aside from the Magic World's supernatural stuff—its physics are completely aligned with our reality.
Gravity? 9.788 m/s².
Yes, you heard me. Exactly like Earth.
F = ma, G = mg, a = vt—they all apply.
Even chemistry works. Real pharmacology concepts like target cells, receptor proteins, and antibiotics all make sense within the game.
The only thing different is the biology: new plants, fungi, and microbes. But if their doctors weren't starting from scratch, their magical potions might've already outclassed modern medicine.
That's how Future Skywhale climbed the tech tree with Slime Engines and pioneered bio-alchemy.
That's how he became the 'Great Emperor of Alchemy and the Gates of Truth!'
This game isn't just for casuals.
If you can't study, don't even bother!"
Xu Zhi's face was a mix of awe and horror.
Why does this game sound like a post-grad thesis defense now!?
"Like Mr. Skywhale said:
Give me enough knowledge, and I can move the world!
Good grades = god-tier gameplay.
Physics, chemistry, math? If you're acing those IRL, you could become a sovereign emperor here!
This game rewards brains over brawn.
Knowledge. Changes. Destiny."
Xu Zhi: "...Why does this guy sound like a motivational speaker now?"
"Third—the new map guide.
Big shoutout to Mr. Skywhale again!
He spent three months compiling a Dictionary of the Magic World's Language and uploaded screenshots for reference."
(Attached: 1,045 pages.)
"Why are there so many pages?
Why am I crying?
Because this game is hell."
"There's no system layout. No level grinding. No stats.
You are a spore.
You evolve.
And the otherworld is just as cruel.
No shortcuts. No tutorials.
Language? Civilization? You learn from scratch.
The amazing part? If you grow strong enough to fly, you'll feel that strength as if it were real.
It's not a game anymore.
It's a second life."
Xu Zhi was now just staring blankly at his screen.
This man wrote an entire goddamn textbook!?
"Fourth—the true background of Spore Evolution.
Remember that time everyone snuck into the giant's house and opened the Book of Genesis?
Those ancient records mentioned the Age of Darkness, the Age of Radiance, the Age of Rebirth, the Age of Genesis, and the Age of Magic.
Well, Future Skywhale dug into the Magic World's historical records."
(Attached: 102 pages of the "Genesis" historical manuscript of the Sumerian civilization.)
"Here's the kicker:
'The Wise Beast stood ten thousand feet tall. His face divine, his body wreathed in white light. Wherever he passed, mountains crumbled, and the earth shattered.'
Sound familiar?"
Xu Zhi choked on his tea.
"The King of Heroes rose to build Sumerian civilization, but turned against the Creator. The Creator punished them with a Great Flood.
The Book of Genesis says:
'In the Age of Genesis, the Bugape tribes expelled the giant beasts and rose to power. But they were cruel, and so the heavens sent down a great flood, wiping out 99% of all life.'
That's not a myth.
That's the apocalypse.
That was you, Mr. Orchard Farmer."
Xu Zhi: "??? What giant? What divine punishment!? I just stepped on my yard!"
"The Genesis text continues:
Day 1: Let there be light.
Day 2: Let there be a firmament.
Day 3: Let dry land appear.
...
The world was created in seven days.
You. Are. The. Creator."
"My assessment:
The giant who destroyed Sumerian civilization is the same being who watches from the courtyard.
He lives in the interstice between dimensions—an eternal void where he nurtures the multiverse's life forms.
He transcends matter, time, space, and even logic itself.
He is beyond ethics, beyond cause and effect.
He is infinite.
He is eternal.
He is the Creator of Worlds."
Xu Zhi sat frozen in silence.
"I live in the interstice between dimensions?"
"I evolve all species in the multiverse?"
"This is just a rural orchard in Dongcheng!"
