"Can we start building this world? Can we? Can we?" Dave's eyes gleamed with excitement as he paced the dimly lit room.
[Affirmative.]
A grin stretched across his face. "Hehe! Let's start then, Sparky. What's there to delay our grand plan?"
[Affirmative.]
From the darkness, a massive monitor materialized in front of Dave. On the screen was an empty void, pitch-black and silent, where even light feared to tread.
[Starting virtual development…
Introducing light. Light source confirmed: Creating artificial sun, mirroring the real SUN.
Host, specify the planet's diameter.]
A radiant orb ignited on the screen, bathing the void in light. The newly created sun glimmered with uncanny realism.
Dave scratched his head, confused by the prompt. "I don't know these things, Spark. Just make it three times bigger than Earth."
[Affirmative. Calculating gravitational force >> Placing the planet in stationary orbit >> Calculating rotational movement >> Ding Ding… VR planet completed.]
Dave stared at the barren world that appeared, awe overtaking him. It was desolate yet held a strange beauty. "Wow..."
[Adding water bodies.]
On the screen, streams of water cascaded from nothingness, spreading over the planet's surface. Rivers carved valleys, lakes filled craters, and oceans swallowed continents like a thirsty beast.
[Mirroring Earth: landmass-to-water ratio = 29% : 71%.]
Spark, knowing Dave's limited grasp of planetary science, handled the calculations herself.
[Creating vegetation >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Mountains.
Forests.
Deserts.
Lakes.
Rivers.
Wetlands.
Grasslands.
Tundras.
Subterranean networks.
Volcanoes.
Islands.
Additional features added per host's command. Atmosphere remains under stabilization as the planet develops.]
Dave tapped his chin, feeling something was missing. "Hmm... It's good, but it's too ordinary. Let's add floating islands."
[Affirmative. Adding floating islands.]
The screen shimmered, and colossal land masses lifted into the skies, defying gravity.
[Ding Ding. Stable simulation achieved.
Warning: Current simulation occupies 50% computing power. Recommend increasing cosmic intake to support host's requests.]
"Huh? Already halfway? Sparky, where are my beasts? We need some epic creatures here! You're weak for a super AI, y'know."
[😡 If you stop talking, no one will think you're mute.]
"Okay, okay! Don't be so feisty."
[Hmph.]
[Introduction of organisms calculated.
Warning: Copyright infringement detected regarding 'Pokémon' resemblance.]
"What?!" Dave gasped, throwing his hands up in disbelief. "I can't even have Pokémon here? Ugh, fine. Just make something similar but legal!"
[Affirmative. Beginning introduction of life. Organism development initialized. Time acceleration engaged—advancing 3.8 billion virtual years.]
Precambrian Era (Virtual Year 0 - 1 billion)
Within the primordial seas microbes, small enough to evade notice but resilient enough to endure the hostile conditions were born. These creatures were named eurocrates, as the population of eurocrates started to increase rapidly, mutation began to appear. Mutated eurocrates began to prey on the eurocrates, causing wide scale slaughter. To cope with this, Eurocrates evolved to secrete extremely poisonous liquid. The chain continued for a long time, Development started to stagnate.
[Inducing first extinction event]
Methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, was introduced by SPARK. This buildup triggered reactions with oxygen, producing carbon dioxide. The shift in greenhouse effect, leads to significant drop in global temperatures and initiates a long prolonged ice age known as the "Snowball Earth" period, lasting approximately a billion years. During this time, the planet's surface was completely or nearly frozen.
Throughout this period, intense tectonic activity shaped and broke apart several supercontinents,
[Calibrating the development]
With the Earth's landmasses still heavily bombarded by solar radiation, made land relatively inhospitable, so most life existed in the oceans. Over time, oxygen accumulation created the ozone layer which allowed life to diversify on land.
Paleozoic era (Virtual Year 1-1.5 billion)
The Paleozoic era, beginning with the Cambrian period, marked an unparalleled surge in the diversity of life on Earth. This era witnessed the emergence of hard-shelled invertebrates in the oceans, setting the stage for the evolution of amphibians, reptiles, and eventually mammals.
Initially, marine ecosystems flourished with an abundance of fish and other invertebrates. Butm when resources ran thin, some organism started preying on another and some started to move towards land.
Over time, some species of fish adapted to life on land, becoming the ancestors of all terrestrial vertebrates, including humans.
These pioneering vertebrates were amphibians that began to inhabit the supercontinent Andromania. Around this period, arthropods and the earliest insects also appeared. These species didn't have much development potential without inducing gene mutation codex. Development again stagnated.
[Inducing second extinction event]
Massive meteor impact triggers mass extinction wiping out approximately 96% of marine species and 70% of terrestrial species. Widespread climate disruption and intense volcanic activity has been induced.
