Chapter 33 Reproductive Isolation
Lu Ren asked, “Pure Void, do you know where this mystic realm passageway leads to?”
Pure Void: “From the detection by the waveform, there is a piece of land behind the spatial passageway. There are many unknown giant creatures moving around the spatial passageway. Recently, because the contaminated energy has reached a certain concentration, some kind of mechanism seems to have been triggered and it is gradually expanding.”
Lu Ren’s expression changed slightly. “How big are the creatures inside?”
“One of the smallest forms is around 130 meters.”
Pure Void’s voice was still calm. It seemed that as an artificial intelligence, he had no emotions.
“Through 48 years of continuous measurement, the other party had been wanting to come through the spatial passageway, but the spatial passageway is too narrow. They could only circle this spatial passageway in an attempt to find an opportunity to come in. “After dozens of consecutive investigations, I have good reason to speculate that the contaminated energy released had been created by one of them.”
Lu Ren was shocked when he heard this. If what Pure Void had said was true, the extinction of this alternate world had been caused by the contaminated energy created by one of the unknown giant creatures.
“Humans are really fragile.”
Lu Ren muttered unconsciously.
“That’s true.” Pure Void gave a fair evaluation.
Beside him, Xiang Yang was a little displeased.
“What do you mean by fragile? We humans are not fragile at all. When have we perished? Can’t you see the two of us standing here?!”
Lu Ren could not help but say, “Do you mean that a man and a woman can create a race?”
The AI Pure Void said calmly, “Supreme Commander, I’m sorry to have to tell you that the two of you have an ethnic reproductive isolation restriction. I’m afraid it will be very difficult to achieve.”
“Huh?”
Two surprised voices sounded at the same time. Xiang Yang walked to Lu Ren’s side and said in shock, “Has this world been so contaminated?”
Lu Ren frowned and pushed Xiang Yang away. He was a little speechless and could only respond in silence. What else could he say? He had come from another world. Perhaps because of the subtle environmental factors in the space of the world, although the humans of this world looked no different outwardly, there had already been an intrinsic genetic change.
Hence, it had resulted in reproductive isolation.
Lu Ren asked with interest, “In what way do you think I differ from Xiang Yang?”
Pure Void: “Through the fingerprint and iris verification just now, the DNA sequence binding mechanism has been extracted from the skin debris left behind during your fingerprint verification. Although your DNA is fundamentally 99% similar, that 1% difference makes you look similar outwardly but there is already an essential difference, resulting in the ethnic reproductive isolation. Commander Lu Ren, you should have been living previously in a region that was different in general from the environment of this world. This kind of essential change takes at least 500,000 years to happen.”
Lu Ren was a little speechless. “In other words, it started from the ape era.”
Pure Void was silent for a moment before he made a series of self-examination sounds.

“Commander Lu Ren, through the comparison of the genetic sequence at the bottom of the human race, the ancestors of the human race were indeed apes, but they had not evolved through the evolution of the world. Instead, they suddenly evolved and mutated during the middle one-hundred-year period and became humans. We have reason to speculate that one tribe of the apes had come into contact with something during that period of time. It could have been food, stones, or something else that triggered the evolution and mutation.”
Lu Ren: “Has it not occurred to you that it was a casual transformation by an alien civilization on Earth?”
“The probability of this is not less than 50%. However, it is not clear at the moment. We are still working on tracing the source. However, because of the spread of the contaminated energy and the emergence of the human extinction crisis, this work has come to a standstill.”
It was unclear and there was no definitive conclusion.
With the development of technology and new understanding, many things in the past would be overturned.
Discussion on this matter was stopped for the time being; Lu Ren did not wish to delve too deeply into this topic. After all, they were two different worlds. Perhaps the timeline of the two worlds hundreds of thousands of years ago was the same, but they had both gone down a fork in the road, and no one knew where they were heading.
Well, if he had to explain this matter according to the multiverse theories in the movies and novels, it would make sense.
Speaking of reproductive isolation…
Lu Ren’s gaze subconsciously sized up Xiang
Yang.
Xiang Yang instantly had countless goosebumps.

“What are you thinking about?”
Lu Ren’s expression was calm, and his voice did not fluctuate at all.
“I’m thinking of something which I think would not be a bad thing.”
“I think your thinking is a little perverted.”
“Heh, woman, your heart is so filthy.”
By the time Xiang Yang found a drawing pen from the office and finished planning the route according to Pure Void’s suggestion, two hours had passed.
There were a total of 63 contaminated creatures in the center of the base. From Pure Void’s explanation, these contaminated creatures had all survived the initial battle and each had divided their own respective territory. This also confirmed on the side that they would only encounter one contaminated creature in each area. As long as they did not charge around recklessly, they would not be besieged.
From the comparison of strength and Pure Void’s suggestion, the route plan in Xiang Yang’s hand was officially completed.
Lu Ren gave one canned food to Xiang Yang from his backpack. After the two of them had finished eating, Xiang Yang wiped her mouth and said, “When are we going over?”
Lu Ren said in surprise, “Do you still want me to go over?” Xiang Yang was shocked. “Are you going to let me go alone?” Lu Ren stretched out his hand and patted Xiang Yang on the shoulder. He said seriously, “I think we only need one savior for such a matter as saving the world. I can lead you forward as a support staff. Don’t you think this division of labor can make you excited?”
“Huh? Excited? Why would I?” Xiang Yang puffed up her cheeks and said, “You just don’t wish to go!”
Lu Ren: “You can save the world from danger alone. When this world is saved, you will definitely become the hero of this world! You will be remembered by the world for all eternity.”

Pure Void stood up and poured cold water on him. “I’m sorry, Commander Lu Ren. The underground Haizhou City Research Center base is classified information. Everything that happens inside will be sealed. It must not appear before the world.”
Lu Ren was a little unhappy. “This is considered a rebuttal, okay? Then how did the news of the spatial passageway get out in the first place?”
“This had first been revealed by a partner. Due to the pressure of public opinion, the former commander could only release the authorization and stand up to guide them.”
Lu Ren sighed and looked at Xiang Yang, who was staring at him with big eyes.
“Alright, Xiang Yang. An unknown hero is also a hero. The world will remember this!”
Xiang Yang was disappointed. “After saying so much, you just don’t want to go, right?”
Lu Ren nodded emphatically, “Yes!”
Ten minutes later, Lu Ren, who had a somewhat unclear expression, and Xiang Yang, who was all smiles, were standing at a corner of the passageway. They looked at a contaminated creature wandering aimlessly ahead at the entrance of the elevator.
It was not that he was willing to go just because someone had asked him to, but that the concentration of the contaminated energy was increasing. If he continued to stay here, the outcome would be no different from that of these contaminated creatures. Moreover, Pure Void was unwilling to reveal the other exit under the instruction of Xiang Yang, who was half a level higher.
More importantly, according to Pure Void, the spatial passageway might begin to expand in 24 hours, and the creatures from the other world would use this opportunity to come over.
If Xiang Yang were to insist on going forward, once she triggered the spatial passageway and caused the other party to disregard the consequences and tear the passageway apart, a spatial storm might occur and completely destroy the entire city. The spreading aftershocks would radiate throughout the entire continent. Once there was no limit to the contaminated energy, it would be like a wild horse out of control, completely polluting the entire continent. When that time came, the highly concentrated source of contamination would instantly infect him.
Thus, he could not cross the hurdle between choosing to kill Xiang Yang, or because of the reproductive isolation, to first…?!
There was no point in killing Xiang Yang. If he did not take the initiative to act, this would undoubtedly be a dead end.
Unless Lu Ren could run to the pole of this planet within 24 hours.
In short, if Lu Ren wanted to live, it had to be turned off, whether he was here or not.
As such, it was better to close it now while it was still in the easy difficulty level.

Moreover, from his observation, he discovered that the proficiency he had obtained in combat far surpassed that of the hard work of cultivation.
This was a little troublesome.
Should he choose to endure or continue to break through?
Lu Ren felt his hands itch for this. He even missed the pleasure of getting instant feedback to his body when his proficiency increased in combat and his strength increased.
In addition, he had confirmed through the surveillance cameras that the monsters below were still manageable and could be used for his training. This had given Lu Ren the motivation.
