Chapter 78 Primogenital War – Part 1
The space cracked so rapidly that Lonis didn’t even have time to react.
In a critical moment, she could only dive to one side… Fortunately, Elus was by her side, so she immediately grabbed that black-hearted girl.
“Elus, are you okay?”
“Um… I-I’m fine…”
…
For some reason, Elus’s voice became a little flustered.
But in a critical moment, Lonis couldn’t care less about that.
She just mobilized her Rainbow Abyss Power with all her might. Because the attack from Time’s Tomb this time seemed terrifying, and if she was not careful, both she and Elus could be crushed into pieces!
…
White radiance spread from Lonis’s body, nourishing the girls like a spring drizzle… Under the protection of this Rainbow Abyss Power, the girls did not suffer any damage.
However…
The scene in the distance was different.
Lonis inadvertently glanced at the Moon and the Blue Planet hanging in the sky, and the scene that met her eyes stunned her.
Because…
The structures on the Moon were rapidly receding.
Originally, there were many defense bases and huge star-destroying cannons erected on the surface of the Moon, but at this moment, they were continuously being dismantled and “restored.”
Before long, the entire Moon became barren, and not even a trace of anything artificial could be found.
And it was the same for Earth in the distance. Lonis could originally see many points of light on the hemisphere illuminated by the night – these were the traces of human civilization and the settlements built by humans on Earth.
But now, those points of light were gradually becoming dimmer and more obscure… Soon, any points of light had disappeared from the continents.
…
…
“What… what is happening?!”
…
Lonis couldn’t help but grit her teeth, because this scene completely pointed to a possibility that she could least accept.
Time’s Tomb had completely reversed time, turning everything into a state that had never existed – if that were the case, then human civilization would undoubtedly have been destroyed, and all the efforts of her companions would have failed.
So the silver-haired girl became a little anxious, even wanting to fight Time’s Tomb directly.
However, at this moment, Elus stopped her.
…
“Little idiot, don’t worry!”
“Uh, what?”
“Time has indeed gone backward. However, it’s not Earth that’s regressing, but the space we’re in.”
“Ah?”
“In other words, the space around Time’s Tomb is rapidly jumping to the world of hundreds of millions of years ago!”
“!”
…
Lonis was completely stunned.
And what happened next perfectly confirmed Elus’s guess… The continental plates on Earth began to move!
From being fragmented, they began to gradually converge and piece together.
Fissures disappeared, mountains subsided, and coastlines and snowlines were rapidly changing repeatedly. Everything seemed to be like pressing the rewind button, reversing at extreme speed.
…
“This, this is too amazing!”
“Yeah, I didn’t expect that there were so many events during Earth’s evolution.”
…
Elus sighed, because the birth and evolution of humanity was only from the Quaternary period of the Cenozoic Era to the present… and this was only a history of more than 2 million years.
But the history of life? It could be traced back further, to the Mesozoic and Paleozoic eras… from the familiar Cretaceous and Jurassic periods, all the way back to that most crucial era for Earth.
…
542 million years ago, the Cambrian period.
This was the beginning of the Phanerozoic Eon, and it was the era when life began to emerge and explode with species.
Before this, there were no creatures on Earth, only that most creatures could only be considered simple single-celled organisms – but since the Cambrian explosion of life, the entire Earth became rich and colorful.
Then it went through the Ordovician (the period when the Cephalaspis lived), the Silurian, and finally, in the late Devonian, life took the most crucial step: moving from the ocean onto land.
And after that appeared the ancestors of our mammals, and later the overlords that dominated the Mesozoic, dinosaurs.
However, the reason why life suddenly exploded in the Cambrian period has always been a mystery unsolved by human civilization.
Because at that time, the Earth was like a ball of ice, almost entirely covered by white ice and snow, there were no higher plants on the entire planet, and naturally, there was no hint of greenness.
All life remained in the water beneath the ice, living a primitive and traditional life.

…
But it was in this environment that the primitive creatures on Earth ended their 3 billion years of stagnation and began to evolve into large organisms, moving towards various evolutions in the future.
And Time’s Tomb’s target seemed to be here too, it stopped its temporal regression – and the white planet covered by ice and snow completely solidified.
…
“Wh-what does this guy want to do?”
“Lonis, look over there!”
“Huh?!”
…
Following Elus’s gaze, Lonis finally noticed a meteorite in the sky flying straight towards Earth.
If it followed its intended trajectory, it would enter Earth’s atmosphere in a few hours.
A meteorite of this size would not cause severe impact damage to Earth, and would even gradually disintegrate as it entered the atmosphere.
However…
Using the Rainbow Abyss Power, Lonis detected a familiar aura within that meteorite.
“Elus, that’s…”
“Yeah, it’s an Yixiu Fragment, or rather… a kind of radioactive substance.”
“Uh?!”
“This meteorite’s arrival on Earth might have been an accident. But it will eventually disintegrate in the air, and those radioactive substances will enter Earth’s oceans, causing those primitive creatures to mutate.”
“!”
Confronted with Elus’s deduction, Lonis was stunned.
Although for life, 99% of mutations are harmful or meaningless, but that 1% of success is enough to change the entire world.
Cells began to mutate, and life began to aggregate. Therefore, this meteorite was undoubtedly one of the keys to the Cambrian explosion of life. Without this opportunity, Earth might have remained in its primitive state until now, unchanged.
Then…
Realizing this, Lonis suddenly understood the Supreme’s trump card, and what Time’s Tomb was there to do.
…
“Elus, could it be…”
Lonis took a deep breath, a chill running down her spine: “The Supreme’s goal is to completely destroy this meteorite, preventing life on Earth from ever evolving?!”
