Chapter 60: An Answer

The old man didn’t expect to be able to hear a new perspective from Lin Yuan. Therefore, he was interested and asked nicely, “Young kid, speak then! This old one loves to hear analysis and opinions. Speak boldly.”

Ning Xuejun was jumping as she listened. Before her grandfather flipped out, it seemed like he would always say the same words.

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and said, “This answer is actually derived because both the species had been eliminated during evolution, so they are both weak. Otherwise, we would still be able to see Megalodons and Livyatans in the ocean now. Even if the sharks in the ocean evolved back to the ancestry line and evolved more like the Megalodon, ultimately, they will never be Megalodons or Livyatans.”

This perspective made the old man silent. All along, he would hear that either the Megalodon or the Livyatan was stronger or that both were equally great. Without any exceptions, people would be saying they were strong. This was actually the first time someone was saying they were weak.

However, the mention of weak was from the angle of natural selection, and it wasn’t wrong. Perhaps Lin Yuan’s perspective was too fresh and unique, so the old man didn’t burst out immediately even though someone said that the Megalodon was weak. Instead, he asked, “Why so?”

“The Megalodon and the Livyatan had conquered the ocean of the Tertiary period for tens of millions of years. However, be it the Livyatans or the Megalodons, they were too high at the top of the food chain, and it caused the other Tertiary period ocean creatures to have a slower evolution speed. As such, 65 million years ago, nature decided to use a meteorite to stop the contest between the two species without any room for negotiation. The impact welcomed the Quaternary period and a new period for the ocean. At the same time, they wiped out the Megalodons and Livyatans. Therefore, from the Creation Master’s point of view, in terms of survival and evolution, the Megalodons and Livyatans are considered weak.”

Lin Yuan spoke of his opinion, and this wasn’t just based on the knowledge he learned from Genius. It was also Lin Yuan’s knowledge from his previous lifetime and the comprehension of the fey’s evolution in this lifetime.

In the river of time, everything would turn into dust sooner or later.

A successful evolution wasn’t to allow one to reach the pinnacle and look down on every other living thing. A truly successful evolution was to understand how to overcome each calamity and disaster in order to survive for tens of millions or hundreds of millions of years. By allowing the species to continue was the true path of survival in evolution to achieve eternal victory.

After hearing Lin Yuan’s explanation, the old man stayed silent for a long time as though he was thinking through Lin Yuan’s words.

While speaking, the old man’s eyes looked like he was reminiscing.

Lin Yuan listened quietly.

He felt that the Vice President of the Redbud City’s Creation Master Association was someone that even the City Lord would need to be respectful, but he was actually a stubborn old man at times when talking about something in regards to knowledge.

During the exam, the old man didn’t hold back and handed all three exam papers to Lin Yuan at once.

Lin Yuan became highly concentrated during the exam, and it felt as though everything in the outside world was unrelated to him.

When Lin Yuan started answering the questions, the old man didn’t feel anything, but after a short period of time, the old man actually had a delightful feeling as he watched Lin Yuan answering the questions.

The pen tip was rustling on the paper with a consistent frequency that was neither hurried nor slow—it was calm and collected.

As for Lin Yuan, he had an unchanged expression as he answered each question on the paper in sequence. This was a calm attitude that the old man admired. At the same time, he was suddenly looking forward to seeing Lin Yuan’s answers.

When answering the questions, Lin Yuan understood why Ning Xuejun would say that the Creation Master Association’s questions would be crafty.

% of the questions on the paper actually came from the remarks page of the books. There were even some questions that contained answers from the preface of the books.

These questions were simply trying to make things difficult for the participants. However, it was still the same for Lin Yuan—’Aren’t all questions difficult if you don’t know them, but once you know them, they aren’t difficult?’

Thus, Lin Yuan answered smoothly without hesitation and used just two hours to complete the exam papers for all three exams.
