What are humans? What are the characteristics of humans?

Chen Nuo did not intend to seriously discuss or answer such a large-scale question with this strange spiritual power.

For example, [Humans are the order of primates, the suborder of anthropoids, the family Hominidae, the subfamily Hominidae, the hominin race, the genus Homo, and the species Homo sapiens...]

Chen Nuo was not interested in having a serious discussion with this strange spiritual force and was cautious about it.

Before you figure out what this guy is, you might as well talk nonsense, maintain a sense of mystery, and let this guy guess.

While communicating with his spiritual consciousness, Chen Nuo did not stop. Instead, he accelerated his speed and headed towards the soaring stone pillar in the center.

If he could knock this guy out and make him have no time to think about it and not stop himself from moving forward, Chen Nuo wouldn't mind singing all the brainwashing songs on Douyin to him.

"What is Maomao?"

"I can count them for you."

"number?"

"Yes."

Through simple spiritual communication, Chen Nuo felt that he was getting closer and closer to the stone pillar.

finally.

"You seem eager to get closer?"

"..." Chen Nuo stopped responding and took the opportunity to leap forward more than ten meters.

Then, he hit a barrier!

Chen Nuo was all too familiar with the feeling of this barrier.

This is a purely invisible barrier set up by mental power.

In both physical and spiritual senses.

Chen Nuo stopped and calculated the distance between himself and the central stone pillar - it was still about five hundred meters, maybe further. Because visual inspection was not very accurate.

Chen Nuo gave up and continued to move forward, but began to try to release his mental power and carefully search the barrier in front of him.

Pure spiritual power, very pure.

The magnitude of the powerful, vigorous and flowing mental power made even Chen Nuo, who was standing in front of the controller-level threshold, unable to help but feel secretly surprised.

This strange guy with mental power - purely in terms of the strength of his mental power, even the master wizard of the telepathy system who is the controller is far inferior to him.

In the air in front of him, an invisible and sticky force prevented Chen Nuo from moving forward.

He stretched out his hands and pushed forward gently. His hands seemed to be stuck in a non-existent quagmire, becoming more and more sluggish.

My body tried to step forward. The first step was relatively easy. From the second step, the sluggish feeling became more intense. Then, from the third step, the resistance began to increase exponentially!

Chen Nuo made an estimate in his mind. With his own mental resistance, he could only move forward no more than five or six steps at most.

Therefore, he simply chose to take a few steps back and stood outside the barrier.

"You don't want me to come over?" Chen Nuo asked.

"It's just a test." [It] replied: "You want to go through, and I stop you, I want to see what will happen."

Chen Nuo sighed.

Looking back, Ishii Hisako and others had reached the ground from the cliff.

The divers began to take out the equipment they were carrying and were testing something.

Chen Nuo only glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze.

"Are you talking to them too?"

[Its] answer surprised Chen Nuo: "I released the communication signal, but only you can respond to me."

Chen Nuo frowned and thought for a moment, then he understood.

Hisako Ishii and her men are ordinary people, and their mental power is only at the level of ordinary people. Because they cannot use mental power outside the body, they cannot sense [its] communication and naturally cannot respond.

"It's possible to communicate with them. But because of your existence, you can respond to my communication, so I don't need to waste excess energy. This is the best choice under the current situation."

"...That's right." Chen Nuo nodded.

Then he asked the question: "What is this place?"

silence.

After more than ten seconds of silence, [it] responded.

[I searched for the description and definition of language in your spiritual power. I think that in the language environment that is applicable to you, there are some words that can be easily understood by you. This place can be called a 'sanctuary' and 'seed'.

'Incubator'..."

Refuge, seed, hatching place...

Chen Nuo's heart beat and he asked subconsciously: "Then what are you?"

[It] was silent again.

This time it took more than ten seconds to respond.

"According to your language, I can probably be regarded as the 'gestator', 'distributor', 'custodian' and 'watchman'..."

"So, you are not a living thing?"

"It is difficult to define this definition using your civilization and language system." [It] responded strangely: "In our civilization, there is no detailed description of the word biology. This word is too big for our civilization.

Single.”

Chen Nuo simply sat down on the black rock ground and said with a smile: "So, who are you? Carbon-based life? Silicon-based life? Or..."

"That depends on your definition of life."

Chen Nuo started to feel a big headache.

"Stop! This question is too philosophical." Chen Nuo shook his head: "So, are you a prehistoric civilization? Atlantis? Atlantis?"

"There is no relevant information in my memory."

[Its] answer is actually tantamount to a negative - Chen Nuo's judgment.

"To be precise, we are not a companion civilization of this planet...or maybe you are."

“What is companion civilization?”

"To put it simply, if you use your language system to describe it, you might be able to use the word 'indigenous' more accurately.

Your life and civilization were born and nurtured on this planet, and your evolution and formation processes are also on this planet - so you are a companion civilization of this planet."

"You're not?"

"I'm not."

Chen Nuo sighed.

Damn, there’s so much nonsense… To put it simply, aren’t they aliens?

"The term alien is not accurate. Because, according to your logic system and language system, I should not be considered a 'human being'."

"So... in your civilization, are there such existences as 'human beings'? Similar to human life? Or... in your civilization, are there all spiritual bodies like you? Oh, or in other words, besides the spiritual body, you

Is there a physical body outside of the body? What I mean by physical body is the body in the physical sense, even if your body is an octopus with eight tentacles?"

Chen Nuo stretched out his finger and quickly drew an octopus pattern on the ground in front of him.

"Can you see this picture?"

"I can feel it."

Chen Nuo took a deep breath and asked slowly: "So, is this the form of life in your civilization?"

"Yes and no."

This answer made Chen Nuo confused again.

[It] seemed to be very patient and slowly explained: "The form of life is not limited to one type, but should be changed according to different living environments.

Our civilization, in the physical sense you think of it, does not have a fixed form. Instead, we will give birth to different forms of life forms according to the needs of the environment."

What the hell?

Chen Nuo frowned and tried hard to understand the messages conveyed by this guy.

"What you mean is that your civilization, let me call it human, means this human being is the life form of your civilization...

What I mean is, in terms of appearance, your tribe has this kind of octopus shape? Are there other shapes as well? "

"Yes."

"Then... wouldn't it become different ethnic groups and races?"

"No, because we share the spiritual power of the same system, and our civilization does not pay much attention to the appearance."

"...Then..." Chen Nuo thought for a moment and pointed to his nose: "Then, in your civilization, are there any living things that have the same appearance as humans like me?"

"...If necessary, you can also conceive like this."
