“So many humanoids.”
Any creature that stood on two legs could be categorized as a humanoid. By that definition, their numbers were truly immense.
However, many individuals actually had appearances that aligned quite well with human aesthetics.
Just as certain mecha like individuals could be perceived as cool, an upright being with a dog head could somehow possess a strange elegance. As long as they had two eyes, one nose, and one mouth in a somewhat symmetrical arrangement and the right positions, there was a chance they would be accepted.
And those who closely resembled humans were indeed not rare.
If one were to judge by the facial features of the old Earthlings, then... many aliens actually looked better than humans.
Many of the girls were practically goddess tier.
Even the men were so handsome.
Perhaps this was a characteristic of this universe.
However, regarding why several specific groups were so widely distributed throughout the universe, some believed that in ancient times, there were specialized high level civilizations that sowed the corresponding genes across the entire cosmos.
These genes themselves had a certain probability of evolving into a human appearance. Combined with the fact that they were more likely to evolve high intelligence, it ultimately resulted in the reality of a humanoid species overflow.
“The geographic isolation of a single planet alone was enough to create many races of humans. In just a few million years, apes, monkeys, and humans could diverge, let alone in the vastness of the universe. Yet what I see here is far too similar; I feel like the truth is not that simple.”
Xia Jin suppressed these thoughts and, after disembarking from the ship, followed the Juxin Civilization staff to a resting hall.
She took a seat, and a creature beside her with many chitinous plates and a round head nodded to her.
Xia Jin returned the gesture with a slight smile.
Behind that round creature, a furry creature looked over and said through a translator, “Hello.”
It was actually quite cute.
“Hello,” Xia Jin said, waving her hand at him.
“Can I rub the soft place on your chest?” the furry creature’s eyes lit up.
Xia Jin: “?”
It seemed to be serious.
“No.”
“Oh, alright.” It looked quite disappointed.
“Emmm...”
Xia Jin rested her chin on her hand and began to ponder her life as a bug.
Before long, she became interested in a plant like object not far away and walked over to touch it with her hand.
“It doesn't seem like a plant.”
It moved.
“What are you doing?”
Hundreds of eyes snapped open on the surface of this plant. They were densely packed all over the trunk, and upon closer inspection, even the leaves were individual eyes.
“It is nothing.”
Xia Jin let out a helpless sigh.
There were still far too many absurd things about alien civilizations.
But overall, it was still acceptable.
Because for any civilization to develop technology, they first required the ability to flexibly manipulate tools.
One must realize that any high tech creation required the processing of countless parts. Only with hands coordinated with a brain could humans create such a civilization.
Therefore, aliens... how should I put it, most of them had limbs.
This also explained why the Black Forest people looked so Cthulhu esque, covered in tentacles.
The reason was simple: it was convenient for holding things and performing precision operations. Their small tentacle limbs were even more flexible than human fingers.
Once they possessed a certain level of intelligence, in a sense, their development speed could be faster than that of humans.
As for reproduction, as long as they were carbon based organisms, their methods followed the patterns of basic chemical changes.
Live births and egg laying were both very common.
Fission was extremely rare.
Furthermore, there were some truly bizarre reproduction methods.
For instance, Mother Body Reproduction.
This was something Xia Jin only learned today.
The entire species only had a Mother Body that could reproduce. Regardless of whether the Mother Body died or not, every five years, a new Mother Body would be born randomly within the population.
Then, the information of the new Mother Body’s birth would be transmitted to the old one through ordinary individuals.
The old Mother Body would automatically wither away.
The lifespan of a Mother Body was about two hundred years, which meant that even in the best case scenario, this species only had forty Mother Bodies.
That is right, for the entire species.
While ants at least had one queen per colony, this entire civilization only had forty Mother Bodies for its entire species.
After entering the interstellar stage, they tried to create more Mother Bodies through intervention. But it seemed something was written into their genes; when they realized the number of Mother Bodies in their population exceeded the limit, a portion would automatically wither away, forcibly reducing the count to below forty.
Some civilizations were very curious about this and, after research, suspected that this Mother Body civilization was influenced by some kind of quantum information from the microscopic world.
In other words, the reason governing their population count actually partially came from quantum information.
Once the fact of having too many Mother Bodies was known, the quantum level would react, causing individuals to spontaneously undergo apoptosis.
“If this group didn't have such a restriction, they might have had some similarities with the Zerg.”
Xia Jin felt as if she were seeing the end of a civilization.
As she left that place and prepared to head to the arena to watch the matches, a human male walked over.
“Beautiful lady, could you give me a chance to pursue you? Even though we might not be the same species.” The man’s eyes were red and his hair was pure white, just like Xia Jin’s current projection.
