As soon as he woke up, Rico immediately checked the situation in the Doomsday world. Fortunately, there was no major disaster. Although a number of native creatures became extinct due to the magical creatures he introduced, their fusion also gave rise to stronger creatures.

At this time, the Red Dragon soared in the sky, continuously spewing flames and burning the forest. On the other side, the Frost Dragon froze its prey and swallowed them with satisfaction. Their descendants, the bipedal dragons, lurked at the foot of the mountain, patiently waiting for prey.

The more powerful the creature, the more difficult it is to reproduce, but the lustful dragons couldn't resist their desires. All day long, besides eating, they engaged in various activities. In the mornings, they hunted for food, exercised when satisfied with their hunt, and occasionally searched for shiny treasures. It seemed that their love for treasures was ingrained in their genes.

Under the influence of dragon fatigue, dragon species could be found in every corner of the world.

"Fahoshi, don't burn it, or the Lahir tree will be angry again," a White Dragon flew to dissuade the fire-breathing Red Dragon.

"Boom!"

Hearing Bai words, the Red Dragon seemed to fear Lahir's strength. Reluctantly, it withdrew its flames. "As long as she doesn't reach for my territory, she can't do anything to me!" Fahoshi said angrily, as if it had suffered losses from the central tree before.

Suddenly, the Red Dragon turned its gaze and said, "It's been a long time since I've eaten those thin-skinned and tender ape people. I'll take a stroll to the center." With that, it flew towards the center of the mainland.

Bai shook his head. Fahoshi was truly reckless. It had been whipped by the Lahir tree with branches before. And now, it was going to feast on the apes under the tree again.

Rico shifted his gaze to the center of the world. The ape tribe had not become extinct under the protection of the central tree, but now there were only over 5,000 of them left. Most of the time, they hid in caves, living in a daze, and due to the scarcity of food, they were emaciated.

"For such a long time, the dragons have spread their descendants all over the place. How can the apes be in such a miserable state? Initially, there were at least 10,000 of them, but now less than half remain," Rico frowned.

Rico had high hopes for the apes. The area where they lived was the best in the entire continent, with abundant food, sufficient aura, and extremely rich underground minerals! However, not to mention evolving into the Stone Age, if it weren't for the care of the divine tree, they would have been extinct!

Rico pondered for a moment and finally understood why the mighty upright ape, which once ruled the earth, was in such a sorry state in the original world.

"At the time when apes appeared on earth, there weren't many giant beasts. Their size was enough to be considered medium-level predators. But now, the original world is filled with giant beasts. Moreover, with the existence of aura, the beasts are more powerful. With the addition of magical creatures and occasional sacrifices, it seems that it's been quite a challenge to survive for so long!" Rico sighed.

Rico realized that the fate of a species depended on its own struggle, but it also needed to consider the course of history. Only at the right time could the right creatures appear.

If humans on Earth faced a challenging start, then the humans in the Doomsday world were facing the beginning of hell!

"It seems we need to help the apes figure things out," Rico pondered. They couldn't continue to live in such weakness. The emergence of civilization required a large population.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

While Rico was contemplating, the Red Dragon Fahoshi once again preyed on the apes, and some apes who were carefully picking fruits shouted and fled for their lives.

"Damn it! We're also divine creatures. The dragon can dominate the world, kill us at will, and easily lead us to extinction. Why are we be so weak that we can't even defeat the weakest leopard!" A leader with a stronger physique, obviously stronger than others, exclaimed.

Watching the dragon recklessly devouring his fellow apes, the leader's eyes turned red, and he clenched his fists, unable to bear the pain, and charged at the Red Dragon!

"Roar?"

Looking at the tiny creature rushing towards it, the Red Dragon Fahoshi chuckled. It simply wanted to swipe the rushing ape to death with one claw, but the central tree nearby gently swayed its branches. Suddenly, the Red Dragon's scales bristled, and it quickly spread its wings and fled!

The leader, who barely escaped death, looked around blankly. The bright red blood of his fellow apes was everywhere, along with scattered amputated limbs.

"Wuma, you startled me when you suddenly rushed out earlier," a female ape in animal skin ran towards him.

"Why! Why! Why can't we apes hunt like the other giant beasts? We're also divine creatures! Why are we so weak?" The leader pounded the ground in frustration, his heart aching every time he witnessed his fellow apes being devoured by beasts.

"I can't help it. The dragon is born with boundless power and special abilities. Other giant beasts are far beyond our abilities to challenge. Maybe we were just casually created by the Creator all those years ago," the female ape could only offer this comfort to the leader.

"No, we're also divine creatures. I don't believe that we are weaker than other creatures!" The leader stared at the divine tree in the distance with red eyes.

"Wuma, what are you planning to do?" The Female ape had a bad feeling.

"I'm going to ask the divine tree how we apes can establish ourselves on this earth!" The leader walked determinedly towards the divine tree.

"You're risking your life! The patron saint tree has always protected us. If we anger the god tree, we'll be wiped out in a day!" The female ape quickly chased after him to stop him.

Unfortunately, the leader Wuma continued to march towards the divine tree with determination. "I'd rather die than live like this! If the divine tree is truly angered, I'm willing to appease her anger with my own life!"

Wuma approached the divine tree with the resolve to sacrifice himself. If he couldn't be strong, he would rather not live at all! This was his most genuine belief.

"This leader has a lot of backbone, reminds of that one little guy in Gaia," Rico observed Wuma and remarked, "It seems like they need the seed of civilization."

Using his Authority Rico entered a state of omnipresent, seeing everything in the Doomsday world.

“Ahh Interesting, it’s seems there is a very powerful ethnic group in the world. According to analysis and deduction, their potential is enormous, but they are also highly detrimental to the environment of the Doomsday,”

Looking deep into the ground. There, he saw huge underground cities had been established, with winding passages spreading to all corners of the world, ultimately converging at the deepest super nests.

"Incredible!” Rico couldn't help but marvel at the achievements of the ant clan. In the blink of an eye, the mutant ant clan had developed so rapidly. Not only had they conquered the underground and built nests, but there were also many of them above ground.

The two-meter-tall super ant queen with a swollen abdomen continued to lay eggs. Worker ants and soldier ants dutifully performed their tasks. Rico also noticed many mutations among the ants—some had two drill-like appendages on their heads, specialized for expanding their territory, while others were covered in golden armor, indicating their status as elite soldiers.

"This indeed represents enormous potential. They can consume various substances and mutate. They're not just a simple nuisance. These ore-devouring super ants are obviously elite troops. This queen possesses adult intelligence. No wonder they've been able to develop their ethnic group so effectively, expanding from underground to the surface after laying the groundwork below.

This is truly an unexpected joy. While the ape men are still living in secrecy, the ant clan here has nearly conquered the underground world and begun to advance to the surface.

"But this type of mutant ant is truly detrimental to the environment," Rico frowned. Although the ant clan showed great potential, their approach was destructive.

"Eat everything, seize everything, kill everything! This is also one of the reasons they reproduce so rapidly. Wherever the ants go, not a single hair is left standing, nor a blade of grass! Any trace of energy is swiftly devoured by them.

"I’ll just let them be," Rico decided not to intervene with the ant clan. Everything had its own reasons for growth, and it was best to allow natural development.

"It's time to prepare the spark of civilization for the apes," Rico looked towards the center of the earth once again.

Meanwhile, Wuma, the leader of the ape men, returned home in frustration. He had knelt under the divine tree all day, asking earnestly. However, the divine tree remained silent, leaving him in doubt. "Doesn't even the divine tree know how the ape men can become strong?" Wuma wondered.

He lay in the damp cave, pondering how to make the ape tribe strong. He racked his brains all night but came up with no solutions. Eventually, exhaustion overcame him, and he fell asleep.

Outside the cave, the stars shone brightly, and a streak of light shot down from the sky into the ape mind.

Wuma felt like he was dreaming, but when he opened his eyes, he found himself surrounded by darkness. It felt as if he was still dreaming. Suddenly, he spotted a faint light ahead. He ran towards it until he finally saw that the light emanated from a figure.

The man's face was indiscernible, and his entire being exuded a divine radiance that made Wuma feel comforted.

"Who are you? How did I end up here all of a sudden?" Wuma asked cautiously, while also assuming a defensive posture.

"Don't concern yourself with who I am. I'm here simply to offer you hope," Rico said calmly.

It seemed as though Wuma suddenly recalled the figure before him, emitting an infinite radiance yet remaining indiscernible.

"Plop!"

Wuma knelt before Rico, trembling as he looked up at him. "Are you the creator who fashioned us and this world?"
