Chapter 416 Human Ancestors Who Lived Hard

"Is this the end of the age of dinosaurs?" Hermione couldn't help but whisper as she looked at the destruction the earth had suffered.

"Yes, the asteroid hit the earth. With this impact, the Cretaceous Period officially ended, and then came the Paleogene Era!" Eisen withdrew his gaze and closed the perspective shared with Hermione.

"Professor, will the dinosaurs become extinct next?" Hermione said with emotion, focusing on Eisen, "I mean they will become extinct in a few days?"

"How many days?" Eisen shook his head, "Judging from the current situation, it will take at least a period of time for the dinosaurs to be completely extinct. I estimate that this period of time will be between a few years and a few decades!"

"Can a dinosaur last that long?" Hermione looked at the smoke and dust floating in the sky, showing doubts.

“It is undeniable that the asteroid that hit the Earth brought great disaster. If you think about it carefully, it might have wiped out all the dinosaurs living within a few kilometers of the impact point.

But you have to think deeper. Is the main reason why the dinosaurs became extinct because they could not adapt to the harsh environment after the disaster? ” Eisen shrugged.

"That's right!" Hermione agreed.

"Then what is the harsh environment after the disaster? In addition to the earth's atmosphere being filled with smoke and dust, causing toxic substances to fill the air, there is also this smoke and dust that blocks the sunlight, causing the earth's vegetation to stop growing, and then the food chain is destroyed. …”

"I understand, after the food chain was destroyed, a large number of creatures died, and then the dinosaurs became extinct because they ate up all the leaves!" Hermione showed an expression of sudden realization.

"There is another important reason. After the sun's rays no longer reach the ground, the temperature will drop rapidly!" Eisen added.

"Yes, because the global atmosphere is filled with smoke and dust, which will last for hundreds of years, the entire earth will enter an ice age! This will further exacerbate the extinction of the dinosaurs." Hermione said with a serious face.

“Yes, in the next few hundred years, the entire earth will continue to have such a bad environment.

Only by adapting to this environment and surviving this harsh living environment can species continue to reproduce! "Aisen stretched out his hand and flicked it slightly in the air, and the clouds in the sky were already drooping.

"Professor, can you restore the earth's environment to the state before the asteroid hit the earth?" Hermione said and looked at Eisen with a curious look in her eyes.

"Uh--, this!" With a thought, Eisen could sense the entire earth moving in the universe, its environmental conditions, subtle changes in every corner, etc., emerged in his mind.

At this moment, Eisen had a feeling that as long as he moved his mind, he could disperse the smoke and dust in the atmosphere, and he could also repair the damage caused by the asteroid impact on the earth!
The simulation images of the Laplace Demon system unfolded before our eyes. Countless images were born and then disappeared again, but the result of each simulation was that as long as Eisen thought about it, the earth could be restored to its original state.

Seeing this, the scene in front of Eisen's eyes disappeared, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

"How about it, Professor, can you do it?" Hermione seemed to understand something when she saw the expression on Eisen's face.

"I can indeed restore the earth to its previous appearance!" Eisen said gently.

"Then, Professor, do you want to do this?" Hermione's face was filled with a smile, as if she was eager to give it a try.

"Isn't this nonsense! Tell me, if I reverse the earth's ecological destruction this time, what will happen in the future?" Eisen looked at Hermione with a look of helplessness on her face.

"What's wrong with this? I think if the current environment of the earth returns to its previous state, the dinosaurs will continue to survive and become the overlords of the earth, and continue to do so until a long, long time later!" Hermione pulled Eisen's hand. He said shaking his head with his arms.

"That's right! Dinosaurs are still the overlords of the earth, and the species that should rise after the Paleogene may not appear. The most important thing is that the ancestors of humans probably won't have the chance to rise." Eisen added.

"But, Professor, didn't you say that this is a parallel time and space? It would be okay even if we change history, right?" Hermione tilted her head and came up with an excuse.

"That's true, but if you put it this way, it would be equivalent to erasing the entire human civilization in this world. Do you think this is appropriate?" Eisen almost couldn't resist the urge to roll his eyes.

"This -" Hermione's expression changed and she shook her head hastily, "Forget it, it's indeed inappropriate. By the way, Professor, let's go!"

"Let's go?" Eisen said with a smile.

"That's what I said before, go and see the living environment of human ancestors!" Hermione's face returned to calmness, "It's probably tens of millions of years from now, when the dinosaurs became extinct, right?"

"Yes, after the extinction of the dinosaurs, the earth will still be in the era of reptiles for a long time. Only after the era of reptiles' dominance of the earth is completely over, the ancestors of mankind will step onto the stage of history!" Eisen nodded.

"That's right, let's go, let's go take a look -" Hermione seemed impatient.

"Okay, get ready, let's go!" Eisen said with a smile. After holding Hermione's hand, a picture appeared in front of his eyes and then disappeared.

Decades passed, and dinosaurs lingered on the earth, eventually going extinct...

The time in the picture continues to advance, the ocean turns into land, the forest degrades into grassland, terrifying drought occurs, various species appear in turn, and the struggle for survival sets off a series of brutal peaks...

A certain scene flashed by, and Eisen and Hermione left this era that had just been devastated by an asteroid.

……

This is a small valley, and its surface seems to have been scorched by the sun. In a hidden cave on the other side of the valley, about a hundred apes are entrenched in it.

Two hundred miles away to the north of the valley, the snow on a high mountain has melted into a stream, running intermittently through the valley bottom.A corner of the mountain stone wall suddenly extended, and the figures of Essen and Hermione appeared here out of thin air.

"Professor, is this the place where human ancestors lived?" Looking around, looking at the dry and cracked land, Hermione couldn't help exclaiming.

"Yes, this kind of environment -" His eyes kept zooming out, looking at the apes running on the grassland, Aisen nodded with emotion.

Compared with other ferocious and cruel beasts, apes are neither too small nor agile enough.Therefore, in such a difficult living environment, it is extremely difficult to survive and reproduce.

"But they will continue to survive, right?" Hermione looked at all this with some inexplicable shock on her face.

Perhaps, she was shocked by the fragility and tenacity of life?
"That's right, they seem to be on the road of race extinction, but in fact, I have seen that they are about to prosper in the future!" Eisen nodded.

On the other side of the valley, the apes were entrenched in the cave. The apes dragged the haggard and dead body of the ape into the cave on their shoulders.

Yes, Eisen has already seen one of the advantages of their survival on this land.Looking around the entire earth, Eisen found that they had "stood straight".

In addition, Eisen also saw many apes holding bone sticks, which meant that they had begun to use "tools."

Occasionally, some apes run out of their caves and look for berries, or succulent roots and leaves among the withered trees.

Eisen watched all this happen silently, and it could be seen that there was not much food they could find, but all this showed that "wisdom" had favored this race.

The stream flowing down from the mountains passes through the valley bottom intermittently. The season is not good, and the stream gradually dries up.When Aisen saw those apes, he stepped forward and scooped up a handful of muddy water and poured it into his mouth.

Obviously, in this era, not to mention whether the water is clean or not, only survival is everything.

Eisen and Hermione held up the clouds under their feet, and their figures drifted into the distance.

Along the way, through the valley and across a large dry land, they entered a grassland.

"Professor, look -" Hermione pointed to a hill at the edge of the grassland.

Two orangutans gathered on both sides of the hill. They were waving bone sticks and screaming and shouting, as if they were confronting each other.On the other side, a little greenery extends from the grass and then submerges into a pool of water.

After a while, the two groups of orangutans seemed to have reached an agreement, and each came forward to drink water in the pool, and then chewed leaves and wild fruits to satisfy their hunger.

After a few minutes, both parties "danced" again for a while, and then dispersed.

"Maybe they are competing for territory, right?" Aisen said thoughtfully.

Time passed slowly, and Eisen and Hermione were floating in the sky with the wind. After crossing the grassland, they entered the hilly area, and then crossed the virgin forest.

At dusk, some orangutans gather together and go out to look for food.

They held bone sticks and were extremely cautious.

Their target was a river two kilometers away.Finally, they came to the edge of the river, so they hurriedly drank water by the river while watching out for wild beasts that might come out early to look for food.

Then they hurriedly went in one direction into the withered woods.

Night falls and the bright moon rises into the sky!
The night is cold and clear.Brighter than any star shining in the sky, the moon slowly moved across the sky, rose to the zenith, and then slowly slid eastward.

Along the way, Eisen and Hermione seemed to feel a lot heavier as they watched a group of human apes slurping hair and drinking blood.

"Can they survive in such a living environment?" Hermione's face became more worried.

Obviously, in such an environment, Hermione was also unknowingly affected.

This epic scene makes people feel the shock of the blooming of civilization.

"Looking at their current situation, you can see that they have tried their best to survive. They can think and use tools, and they will definitely continue to survive and reproduce!" Aisen had a faint smile on his face.

In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

It was different from when she first came to this era, and now there was no smile on Hermione's face.

Thinking about it, it was probably because in just a few days, she had seen how difficult it was for human ancestors to survive.

In the past few days, Eisen and Hermione slowly observed the living conditions of the apes.

There is no doubt that their living environment is extremely difficult, but they still bloom their brilliance on the earth with an extremely tenacious attitude.

Of course, survival is the only goal of every species on this land.

Although the orangutans have been born with wisdom and learned how to use tools, in the final analysis, they need to continue to evolve for a long, long time before they can become the new overlords on the earth.

Therefore, in just a few days, Eisen and Hermione have actually learned enough about the observations of orangutans.

Not surprisingly, the apes that Essen and Hermione saw basically did not change much in their daily behavior.

Collect leaves, berries and other food that is enough for one day to survive, gather together to resist the attacks of wild beasts, etc., and survive day after day.

Occasionally, some apes find a dying beast, and everyone rushes to it, and can burp after eating.But most of the time, they are always hungry.

Therefore, some apes also sleep quietly to reduce the energy required for survival.

"Professor, will their living environment always be like this?" Hermione and Eisen landed on a steep cliff.

"Of course not!" Eisen sat on the rock, holding Hermione in his arms without hesitation, "For tens of millions of years, if you think about it, you can understand that for a long time in the past, the weather was warm and , plenty of rain, fertile land, and grass growing vigorously——"

"That must have been an era when food was available everywhere!" Hermione snuggled into Eisen's arms, with an inexplicable light shining in her eyes.

"Yes! Now you see, those giant beasts have become extinct and their bones have turned into fossils. But human ancestors have adapted to the new environment. Although they are struggling to survive, hope is always there, isn't it?"

"Professor, when do you think they can learn magic?" As if thinking of something, Hermione suddenly sat up and looked at Eisen with burning eyes.

"It's obviously impossible at this time. You have to know that although the light of wisdom is blooming in them, they have to master the power of magic-" Eisen spread his hands.

Not to mention the apes of this era, this is the era the two of them lived in. After the magic riot of the little wizard, didn't he have to go to school to study obediently?
Otherwise, those people will become wizards who control magic?This is definitely a joke.

"Professor, how long do you think it will take for those apes to rise on the earth?" Hermione stood up and kicked the gravel on the rock.

"I'm afraid it will take at least tens of thousands of years, or even millions of years. I am sure that this is a very long process!" Eisen stretched out his hand and drew on the stone wall, and patterns appeared out of thin air.

"Professor, what are you doing?" Looking at Eisen's movements, Hermione's face was full of curiosity.

"Well, what do you think about leaving behind some myths and legends?" As Aisen thought about it, Aisen's figure appeared on the stone wall.

"Professor, aren't you afraid of changing history?" Hermione looked at Eisen holding a book on the stone wall and was stunned for a moment.

"There are many myths and legends on the earth. If I leave this stone wall to be passed down as a myth, it shouldn't have much impact!" Eisen said with a smile.

"Okay!" Hermione nodded and said nothing more, "By the way, Professor, how long do you think it will take those apes to master language?"

Pictures of the future kept circulating in front of Eisen's eyes, and then he said casually: "This, it will probably be a million years from now."

"Professor, let's go back!" Hermione said slowly after being silent for a while.

"What's wrong?" Eisen retracted his gaze and rubbed Hermione's head.

"Probably, the living environment of human ancestors was too harsh, and I felt a little heavy after watching it for a few days!" Hermione pursed her lips.

"So, do you want to take a look at how the ancestors of mankind rose on the earth?" Eisen pondered for a while and made a suggestion.

"What do you think? Going to the world one million years in the future?" Hermione looked confused.

"No, let's look at it in another way!" Eisen smiled and grabbed Hermione's hand, and then shared his perspective with Hermione.

As their thoughts turned, a faint silver light appeared on both Eisen and Hermione.

The light shone like starlight for three feet around the body, completely enveloping the two figures.

The breeze blows and the stars fall.The figures of the two people became hazy for a while.

Immediately afterwards, the silver light covering the two figures suddenly flickered.For a moment, the two of them seemed to be separated from the world, independent from the world, and no longer affected by anything.

"Professor, what are we-" Hermione seemed to see the entire earth in front of her eyes, with a surprised expression on her face.

"Don't be surprised, just watch!" Aisen said as his thoughts moved, and the time of the whole world seemed to be adjusted.

The sun rises and then quickly moves across the sky, then sets on the other side.

In just a blink of an eye, a day passed.

Immediately afterwards, the scene before the two of them, everything on the earth, seemed to be a movie scene that had been fast-forwarded thousands of times.

Only Eisen and Hermione were enveloped in hazy silver light, independent of the entire world.

The horrific drought is over, lush grass is growing on the cracked land, forests are becoming lush, and lakes are expanding...

The giant teeth of orangutans are getting smaller and smaller, because with the advent of tools, the giant teeth used to bite prey are becoming less and less effective!After the fangs were removed, their mouths also receded.

After their chins became more delicate, their mouths gradually became able to produce some simple and clear sounds.

Time is advancing rapidly, and it is obvious that the apes have taken steps towards the development of language.

As the sun rises and the moon sets, the changes in the world unfold rapidly before the eyes of Eisen and Hermione.

Ten thousand years in a flash!
Every few hundred thousand years, ice ages sweep across the earth, scarring the earth again and again.Except for tropical places such as the equator, all living things in other places have been wiped out by the attack of glaciers.

As the Ice Age retreated, most of the creatures on the earth died out, including the apes.

Of course, what is different is that the descendants of the apes did not die out, but were reborn through evolution and transformation.
