Especially under strong external pressure, the choice between evolution and extinction is not a difficult one at all.
However, telekinesis does not fall into this category.
Or more precisely, it doesn't entirely fall into this category.
It is indeed possible to enhance intelligent beings with telekinetic abilities through foreign technology and research.
But to evolve continuously during war and thus possess telekinesis comparable to that of the Nu'aza aliens is a bit too far-fetched.
The techniques for using telekinesis are something that can be learned.
However, the strength of psychic power itself is the foundation of the evolution of civilization and race, and it is impossible for it to undergo earth-shattering changes in a short period of time.
Not to mention, before the Nuaza aliens arrived on Earth, the dinosaur civilization didn't even know what telekinesis was.
The dinosaur civilization developed powerful telekinesis from scratch in less than a hundred years.
Even during wartime, the dinosaur civilization only went through two generations of generational change.
Before the previous generation had all died out, the next generation generally possessed the seeds to use telekinesis.
By the time the next generation goes to the battlefield, their descendants will already possess psychic power comparable to that of the Nuaza aliens.
This terrifying rate of evolution completely shattered the understanding of the Nuaza aliens, and even made Isilis, who had been sitting calmly on the sidelines, feel panicked.
At that very moment, the scientists of Nuaza reported an even more horrifying discovery to Isilis.
The dinosaur civilization is not the only one that possesses such a terrifying rate of evolution and convergent evolutionary characteristics.
All living things on Earth possess characteristics similar to those of the dinosaur civilization.
External pressures accelerated their evolution...
Those who resisted the invaders developed similar, or even stronger, abilities...
If this convergent evolution of the entire ecosystem cannot be interrupted.
So it won't be long before a race that can completely overwhelm the Nu'aza aliens in terms of telekinesis appears on this planet.
Thus, the war between the Nuaza aliens and the dinosaur civilization entered its final stage.
In order to completely destroy this terrifying civilization, Isilis decided to completely revamp Earth's satellite—the Moon—and turn it into a weapon of mass destruction capable of deciding the course of the war.
The first step was to send the Nu'aza aliens' "spaceship" deep into the moon's core and assimilate with it.
Then, a powerful gravity manipulation system will be installed inside the moon, giving it the ability to travel freely in space.
Finally, Isilis personally ordered the Nu'aza aliens to perform a blood sacrifice ritual, making tens of thousands of Nu'aza aliens the power source for the moon.
By the time the dinosaur civilization realized what was happening, Isilis had already manipulated the entire moon to crash down onto the Earth's surface.
The immense mental power that could move mountains and overturn seas, and seize stars and the moon, filled the dinosaur civilization with despair.
The combined power of the dinosaur civilization, pooling the strength of its entire race, could only temporarily slow the moon's descent into the Earth's surface.
Fortunately, despite their despair at the power of Isilis, the dinosaur civilization did not give up their will to survive.
Taking advantage of the reduced descent speed of the moon, the dinosaur civilization assembled a special operations team of elite warriors and sent them to the moon.
With the elite squad sacrificing themselves, Isilis, now alone, was finally killed.
Unfortunately, Isilis's death did not end the fate of the dinosaur civilization's extinction.
Under the deathbed curse of Isilis, the survivors of the dinosaur civilization were horrified to discover that their race was gradually losing its power and intelligence, reverting to being those cold-blooded and bloodthirsty reptiles.
Grief, despair, panic...
No one felt more desperate than the survivors of the dinosaur civilization as they watched their civilization gradually degenerate.
What made them even more desperate was that Isilis's dying curse not only interrupted the rise of their civilization, but also completely severed their future.
For the next tens of millions of years, the dinosaurs never evolved true intelligence.
Whenever the seeds of intelligence sprouted in the dinosaur population, various accidents would extinguish this flame that symbolized "civilization".
After tens of millions of years of painful and arduous struggle, the colossal creatures known as "dinosaurs" finally went extinct.
And the one who ultimately destroyed this race was none other than the resurrected evil god Gatanothor.
The stone tablet that Zhizi discovered was erected by the last survivors of the dinosaur civilization in despair, to prevent future generations from forgetting the sacrifices of their race.

"So, the dinosaur civilization, or the Nu'aza aliens, are the source of telekinesis for life on Earth?"
Unlike most people, after hearing about this massive war, Lu Xuan thought of the magical power of telekinesis.
Although the Nu'aza aliens are extinct, and although the dinosaur civilization is extinct...
However, this powerful force of telekinesis has already spread throughout Earth's ecosystem, becoming a seed of power that all living things on Earth may possess.
This explains why, within the Earth's ecosystem, it is not only humans who possess the potential for awakened consciousness.
Those non-human races are also descendants of survivors of that war 100 million years ago.
If we go a step further, those so-called spells and supernatural powers might just be the way the Nuaza aliens originally used telekinesis.
"Convergent evolution...it's truly a fascinating phenomenon!"

Chapter 514 The Ancient Coffin
beep!
Just as Lu Xuan was immersed in the vast information recorded on the Monument of Civilization, a piercing alarm sound suddenly came from the Carlo Base.
The next second, the team members who had gone out to track down the crashed aircraft appeared in the distance within sight.
Behind this group of returning spacecraft, a nearly destroyed alien spacecraft was towed to the Carlo base.
"Looks like the mission is going quite smoothly?"
He looked at the team members who had successfully returned with slight surprise.
Lu Xuan looked as if he had witnessed something unbelievable.
In fact, as early as when Captain Gale volunteered to lead his team to the "Valley of the Kings," Lu Xuan had already prepared for the possibility that they might not return.
After all, this is the world of Ultraman Tiga. Wherever supernatural phenomena are involved, it would be truly bizarre if something unexpected didn't happen.
"They're not like you and Daigo..."
Just then, Zhizi's sarcastic voice reached Lu Xuan's ears.
According to Zhizi's database statistics, it's normal for this kind of task to proceed without any unexpected problems.
On the contrary, Lu Xuan and Da Gu always manage to cause trouble.
That kind of constitution that can cause trouble even when there's nothing wrong is the abnormal situation.
"Uh, I was just expressing my feelings."
Somewhat awkwardly, Lu Xuan touched his chin, giving a noncommittal response.
As Zhizi's behavior became increasingly human-like, Lu Xuan sometimes forgot that its true nature was actually an evolving artificial intelligence.
"Wait a minute, something seems off?"
His gaze suddenly focused on the Carlo airship that was the first to return, and Lu Xuan's expression instantly turned serious.
"Tomoko, help me check the team's previous communication records..."
......................................................................................................
A moment later, in the central hall of the Carlo base.
The Natanian spacecraft had been towed into the maintenance depot, while an exotic coffin was placed in the center of the hall.
Around the coffin, seven or eight high-ranking officers from the Carlo base looked at it with worried expressions.
"This is?"
Raising an eyebrow slightly, Lu Xuan turned to John and asked in a low voice.
"I don't know either, you'll have to ask Captain Gale."
John, who had arrived not much earlier than Lu Xuan, rubbed his head, feeling a bit of a headache, and sighed helplessly.
For John, who always seeks stability, any unnecessary trouble is best avoided.
However, Captain Gale clearly had a different opinion.
The crashed aircraft was one thing, but this coffin clearly belonged to the "Royal Valley".
John thought that bringing it back with the wind was just asking for trouble.
"This was found at the site of the alien crash..."
A hint of helplessness was also evident in his eyes; Gale clearly knew John's dissatisfaction with him.
Gale is just a bit arrogant, not really fearless.
However, the situation is different now than before, and the gale is no longer the gale it once was.
"That alien crashed in the core of the 'Royal Valley'?"
Faced with John's question, which was full of distrust, Gale suddenly felt a little weak.
"No...no, that's not true."
He paused slightly, and Jifeng's face twisted awkwardly, as if trying his best to express the same incomprehension.
"In fact, the alien didn't even get close to the 'Royal Valley'; it just crashed near the entrance of the 'Royal Valley'."
Rolling his eyes again, John finally retorted without any politeness.
"So you mean the coffin just crawled out of the grave by itself?"
"And what a coincidence, they just happened to end up at the site where the alien spaceship crashed?"
John was speechless after being asked two questions, but he didn't give up and continued to press for an answer.
"If I remember correctly, the 'Royal Valley' is a temple ruin, isn't it?"
"Even if there really is a coffin buried inside, it should be in the very core of the 'Valley of the Kings'..."
Although John didn't say it explicitly, the implication was clear—he obviously didn't believe the coffin had come out on its own.
"Actually, it's quite possible that it ran out on its own."
Seeing this, Vice Captain Yongan, who had been acting as an "invisible man" on the side, immediately spoke up to explain.
As soon as he said this, John, Lu Xuan, and even Jifeng all turned their gazes toward this man.
"When I was moving the coffin, I noticed a faint drag mark on the bottom."
“The drag mark stretched from the entrance to the ‘Valley of the Kings’ all the way into the massive temple ruins.”
The presence of drag marks indicates that the coffin did not appear out of thin air.
"Moreover, there is another point of doubt, which is that we have not found the alien who invaded Earth."
There were no bodies inside that crashed aircraft.
"That alien seemed to have vanished into thin air, never revealing his true appearance from beginning to end."
He didn't continue speaking, but everyone present understood the meaning behind Yong'an's words.
"Something... has escaped from the 'Royal Valley'!"
Lu Xuan broke the silence by speaking up and revealed the guess that no one was willing to say.
"It must have been that the crashed aircraft that awakened something in the 'Royal Valley,' and then that thing came out carrying the coffin."
Hearing these chilling words, Okabe, another vice-captain of the Gale Squad, couldn't help but ask the crucial question.
"What about the aliens inside the spacecraft?"
"Even if it was killed by that thing, there should still be a corpse left behind, right?!"
Hearing Okabe ask this question, Lu Xuan agreed verbally, but his expression was somewhat meaningful.
"Yes! Where did that alien from the spacecraft go?"
"Having encountered an unknown being, yet surviving, where do you think that alien is now?"
