Nexus had made his decision, his ambitious project to elevate one of the ape-like creatures to a higher level of intelligence, will officially begin.
Nexus began by selecting a group of the most promising ape-like creatures from the southern region of the planet, where they were on the brink of extinction.
These creatures had adapted to a unique niche, stalking feathered pterosaurs from the treetops.
They were solitary and carnivorous, displaying a remarkable ability to move with agility and precision.
However, their intelligence was limited, and they lacked the social structure and cooperation.
In order to change this, Nexus needed Control their evolution once again.
And The first step in the project was to modify their souls.
Nexus understood that the soul was the driving force behind life, influencing the physical world to a great extent.
A better and stronger Soul ks crucial for the success of the High Humans project.
The body's and Soul are intertwined after all, a better soul leads to a better body.
It's the consciousness that makes one Alive and the Fuel that drives the body.
The body will not be better than the Soul it has.
Humans that had the Souls of Apes will evolve into Apes in the end and Apes with the Souls of Humans will evolve into Humans.
It's a simple construct, to enhance the intelligence and potential of these creatures.
What's more Nexus planned to make them more than just intelligent, More than just humans but something much better, much higher up.
He wanted them to be just like him, immortal and able to wield unimaginable power.
They will be The High Humans.
To do that Nexus needed to create a complex soul structure within them.
This new structure would act as a soul core, providing them with increased power and influence over their physical bodies.
Nexus began by carefully observing the intricate patterns of the souls that animated these creatures.
He delved into the depths of their consciousness, understanding their instincts, desires, and the primal forces that guided them.
Although nexus wasn't able to control their Souls he was able to control the energy that Fuel them and most of all that energy comes from him.
He started to reshape their souls into more intricate and structured forms.
The process was slow and required immense precision.
Nexus molded their souls into complex geometrical shapes, creating a soul core that resembled a crystalline lattice.
This new structure allowed for more efficient energy flow, making them 10x better than the normal Soul, this was inspired by Nexus owns Soul which is a million times better than a normal Soul.
Very soon with this improvement they will have heightened awareness, better cognition, and problem-solving abilities.
Their souls now acted as a bridge between their inner thoughts and the physical world, enabling them to have a more significant impact on their environment.
Which he hope to make the manipulation of the physical world using Soul energy possible, essentially psychic powers or Magic.
"That would be interesting" he mused.
As Nexus continued to refine their soul structures, he observed remarkable changes in their behavior.
The ape-like creatures began to display curiosity, exploring their surroundings with newfound interest.
No longer where they Sleeping 12 hours a day or scratching their asses and picking their noses 24/7.
Over the Year's They developed a basic ability to plan and strategize, creating elaborate techniques and tactics making their Hunting more successful.
Their interactions with other members of their species also improve.
Communication also started to evolve.
They developed a rudimentary form of language, using a combination of vocalizations and gestures to convey ideas and concepts.
They shared information about the location of food sources and potential dangers.
Though very basic compared to prehistoric language humans used.
Nexus nurtured this development, subtly influencing their communication patterns to become more sophisticated.
Population started Rising once again thanks to the influence of Nexus.
He encouraged them to form small social groups, promoting cooperation and mutual support.
After many generations it has become way of living for them to have Small groups in one area to another, territory had also been established and they had become the dominant species in the Southern region.
Their physical bodies also underwent subtle changes as their souls became more powerful.
Their senses sharpened, allowing them to perceive their environment in greater detail.
Their reflexes improved, making them even more efficient hunters.
Their muscular strength increased, enabling them to tackle more significant challenges in their environment.
Most of all they began to walk upright.
All of this in a span of 50 thousand years
Nexus knew that this transformation was only the beginning.
To truly create a new level of intelligent life, he needed to continue shaping their evolution.
This required patience, as it would take many generations for these modifications to become more pronounced.
Over thousands of years, the creatures evolved, gradually developing into beings with advanced cognitive abilities.
Their language became more refined, and they started to develop a rudimentary culture.
For the first time ever they created tools from natural materials, showing signs of problem-solving and innovation.
Nexus monitored their progress, subtly guiding them when necessary.
During this time, Nexus faced challenges in preserving the balance of the ecosystem.
The success of his project was creating an impact on other species.
As the High Humans evolved and began to use tools, they started to affect their environment more significantly.
Nexus had to intervene to ensure that their actions did not disrupt the delicate balance of life on the planet.
The High Humans population grew, and they began to form organized communities.
Their social structure became more complex, and they started to engage in activities beyond hunting and gathering.
They developed rituals and ceremonies, displaying a growing sense of spirituality.
Nexus watched with fascination as they dance away mimicking the shimmering constellations of stars.
Myths, legends, and religion had probably created at this moment and nexus was the first actual Human to see it.
their understanding of the world expanded.
Through Nexus's subtle guidance, the High Humans society became increasingly sophisticated.
They conquered fire, developed a system of writing and began to record their history, and culture.
The written word opened the door to the accumulation of knowledge and the preservation of their cultural heritage.
Mostly in the form of Cave paintings or in symbols that Acts as the letters in their language.
After They began to live on Caves, occasionally leaving them and coming back.
They have began to expand northwards further demonstrating their growth.
For now this has been the progress the High Humans has made.
It's been 100 thousands years since the start of the High humans project.
Now the high humans or Vosaris as that is what they call themselves are at the prehistoric era or stone age.
Current they some of them are migrating to the north, Vosaris aren't prone to staying in one places as they haven't really develop agriculture and are still Hunter gatherers.
With no crop to tend to an no permanent resources in one area they are force to move out to search for distance lands rich with resources.
For now Nexus was satisfied and is very much happy to have humans back.
The high humans currently looked like dwarfs with about the same height and having a more slimmer and compact build which he finds funny,
Clearly the effect of the stronger gravity.
The High Humans have been progressing greatly so far and Nexus is planning to further it.
Seeing that they still haven't explored their Souls, nexus planned to it himself.
The plan is simple, nexus will posses a high human and he will start teaching them how to use their Souls energy.
For a better and Magical future.
