Chapter 7 - Chapter 5 - Meeting With a Dragon

Lewin opened his eyes and though for a moment "Why's there no intelient life appearing?" said out loud.

Lewin placed a hand on his chin and pondered. 'As far as i know of biology, at this point at least 1 half inteligent race should have appeared.... Why it that i can't see none.'

he though for a bit, and after thinking a bit, he reached a conclusion. 'Ah, wait a minute.... Doesn't that mean i am so stupid, my creations can't evolve their own consciousness' he though for a moment and his eyes went blank and he had a wry smile on his face. 'Ah, poor me, i shuld really be patetic am i not?' He laughed.

Lewin checked his Soul Essence and confirmed he had 15% of it remaining. Soul Essence can only be acquired by 2 know means: It being produced naturally from the body, that's a very ineficient and slow method, and the second method is by absorbing the sould of creatures. The longer the creature lives, and the stronger or smarter it is affects greatly on the amount gained, so Lewin NEEDED some humans to die, so he could he could have a stable amount of Soul Essence.

After thinking so for a bit, Lewin Remembered of Vin. That woman... Just how strong was she before losing that battle? Her soul was so strong after feeding on who knows how many souls, that the natural amount of Soul Energy her body generated was so great that she could make ilusions, float, and control things telekinetically, even though they were very simple actions that Even Lewin right now could do,, he just could do that because he was absorbing souls, something that Vin wasn't able to do.

Lewin smiled happily. 'don't worry Vin... I am gonna bring you back!'

He then placed his left hand on his chest, and used 10% of his Soul Essence to raise his memory capacity and everything else that he though could help create inteligent life.

.......

9 Million years later. mammals started to appear on a diferent contry, 2 continents away from the continent where the primordial Lake was.

As soon as those "Mammals" started to appear, their numbers increased like crazy due to the fact that the mothers didn't had to hunt more, os spare more food from the trees so the kids would have to eat, they just had to eat like normal and their babies would drink their milk, so the Mammals quikly spread and became numerous.

Among the Mammals, existed many species, among them were Behemoths, Titans, fliers, climbers, diggers, and many others. And among those, on the climber cathegory, existed a species called "Ape"s, they were incredible, aginle, strong adna daptable, these guys even evolved to me omnivore! And they just lived like that, without much change, util one day when they were being chased down by a giant carnivorous behemoth, half their group was eaten, and just 5 remained. They fled, climbing the trees, jumping rivers, hiding undernath rocks, everything they could do to stay alive they did, but it was no use. Util, while running, a young Ape was able to get away from the behemoth, And while hearing his kind scream and yell, he wanted to help, but wasn't able to. He was restless, it started ounching all the trees around it, screaming, trying to helief all the rage for that Behemoth as he could. He was punching a very od and resistent tree when he noticed his punches weren't effective, and so he picked a rock up, and then used it to hit the tree. And it noticed... Using something but his hands.... was very effective! It quikly picked some rocks and ran to save it's kind.

On that day the young ape died, but while he died, the brought up awareness to all of his kind about something: If you're weak, make youself strong!

21 million years later. Finally, after much suffering and hardship, that species of Apes evolved. Little by little they lost their fur, their ability to climb, and to replace that they had fire, spears, rocks, traps and other kinds of dirty tricks, that species was then named by god as "Humankind".

.......

Lewin was seated on a chair eating popcorn while with eyes closed he loughed energetically

"Finally!!! At least one inteligent species!!! Very good very good! Hehehehehehe!" Lewin was very pround of his creations, not like the proundness a parent feels for succesful sun, or the pride a scientist feels for his creation. The reason he was pround was because all the spores achivements depended on their creator, meaning that, if these new humans were able to evolve a whole new humankind, it meant Lewin had this same intelectual capability, and he was pround of himself because of that, even if what his "Superior Intelect" was only able to acquite was to evolve an inferior species.

'Heh, let's continue, i wonder how far my superior intelect can lead them'

.......

50 million years passed. Finally, humankind had evolved to the point were they actually resembled the current modern man. They had very little fur on their bodt, excluding intimate parts, some parts fo their face, armpits, and mainly, their heads.

Humankind started to make tribes and experiments with the enviroment on it's surroundings, they discovered fire, they learned to make sharp weapons, they learned how to preserve food better and how to cook, they even discovered a very rare kind of resorse called "Minerals", there was iron, bronze, copper, and very rarelly, they dig up some gold or 1 or 2 diamonds found in caves.

They mastered Farming, and started to grow crops and cut wood.

Humanity learned how to smelt, How to build, and little by little they lost their primate characteristics and now depended on their creations to survive, not their body.

Traps, tricks strategies, little by little humanity became cleaver.

From tribes they became villages, and from villages to cities.

After mastering the ways to survive depending on tools, now it was time for humanity to master "Commerce". MInerals were too rare and precious to be used to create currency, so they started Growin a special kind of blue three that didn't grow naturally, and used thos to make their coins.

At this point in time now, humanity was "perfect", everything they needed to use to survive, they had mastered, when needing to hunt, their warriors would hunt, when needed to mine, their miners would do the job, fishing, farming, administrating, everything had someone taking care of it.

At that moment in time, Lewin used his Soul Essence and lowed the Time flow from 5250 years in 1 second to 6 hours every second. And he waited for some more time.

But... Something unexpected happened. 10 thousand years after humankind started mastering everything they had learned to do, a giand red scaled creature soared in the skie, and with this giant body, it landed on a mountain close to a human village. It was a giant red dragon!

The humans became restless, curiosity and fear fought to decide what to do about it. but in the end, the fear came out triumphant, and the humans in that area started to depart.

But want it or not, human were still humans. So when all the tribes in that locantion had moved out, 12 brave warriors remained, adn they formed a scout group to check on the mountain.

The 12 of them climbed the tall mountain, and at reaching the top, they started their research.

They explored for 1 week in search for the dragon, and after tiresome and determined research, they found it's lair.

At landing, the dragon had used it's fire breath at one of the mountain's peaks to melt it into a cave.

The 12 trembled on their bases, wondering if they should go down the mountain back to their villages, and at the end it couldn't be helped... Their curiosity was too strong! they had to at least try to see the beast's figure.

They entered the cave, the 12 of they were afraid, so much they evne though they brought torches with them, and were well wrapped up, they trembled to the base.

And finally, after more than 10 minutes of walked, they met up with the beast.

The dragon laid on a tall rock made of iron with a lake of lava running around it.

The dragon laid there sleeping, but at the appearance of the 12 man and woman, the dragon woke up and looked at them

The dragon looked at their direction and snorted, releasing fire from it's nostrils it's big toothy mouth slowly changing into a smile.

The dragon then opened it's mouth and said.

"What a interesting bunch of little creatures. What're you, little insects doing here?"

.......

"PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFGH!!!" Lewin spat his popcorn all over the ground.

"WHAT?!?! How's the dragon speaking!?" He questioned with a yell.

Lewin then closed his eyes with hurry and used Soul Essence to check as mych information as possible, reducing his reserves to 21%.

He had done that, but his thoughs didn't go too far on that.

As information form all over the globe flooded on his brain, a vain popped on his forehead and he got a head ache.

he tried to handle it, but there was too much information, s he couldn't help it but use even more soul essence ro increase his information processing speed, and little by little his head stoped hurting.

Lewin gave a relieved sigh, even though his Soul Essence was just 18% now.

It seemed like around 24 million years ago, that species of red scaled fish that lived on the Lower Primordial Lake had evolved into lizards when they got to earth, and after some more time, their "Superior Gene" that was just the ability to shot high pressured boiling water, but just when they WERE underwater, had evolved, and also got some mutations.

In total there was 4 types of giant lizards, all of them had their own "Elemental Breath"(Let's call it like that from now on) that corresponded for each of their colors. There were Earth lizards, that had black skin and Earth Breath, there was the Water Lizards that had blue scales and shot high pressured water, just that it wasn't boiling anymore, there was the air, no, it would be more acurate to call them "Lightining" lizards, that had white and yellow scales and shot lightining from their mouths, and finally, the Fire lizards, that had red scales and breathed fire.

14 million years after the red scaled fish went to earth and became lizards, their species broke down on many branches, and even more Elements appeared from among them, the lozards now had become Drakes, Wyrms, Wyverns, and finally, Dragons.

One of those branches of the species for some reason had become much much larger than the rest, those that had become very big got titled "Titans", and there was at least 1 titan from all powerful creatures on the Primordial Continent.

When their Titans had ascended, the Dragons and Wyverns also started to create some kind of society, they created a lenguage that seemed just slightly diferent from the humans, created houses, mansions, and even currency, but their cities were underground, diferently from humans, after all, dragons lived 10 times longer than humans, so after living for long enough, there wasn't much more to do other to do than sleep or study in silence.

Lewin received all that information and sighed. He now understood what happened, even though he had all the planets informaiton he wanted to have, he was still human, meaning the his human defect of being able to pay attention to just 1 thing at a time was still present.

'i should stop wasting Soul Essence in stupid things like i did just now, and start saving to upgrade my body or potential' Lewin though as he slowly started to again focus on the meeting of the 12 humans and the Dragon. 'Well it's a pity that i can't raise my growth rate, just my max potential' he though as the images of the rest of the conversation between the humans and the dragon continued.
